Airbnb is Re-Sending Old Messages to Hosts and Guests
I woke up this morning to a string of confused messages from old Airbnb guests and hosts. In the early hours of the morning, the Airbnb system appears to have started resending old texts and emails from trips and enquiries that originally took place up to two years ago.
Worryingly, some of the messages appear to have been send to random recipients. I'm particularly concerned about the phone call I got from Papua New Guinea first thing this morning, a country I have never hosted or stayed in.
And it isn't just me:
@AirbnbHelp Hi. I received a few old messages (from 2015) in my inbox this morning as new messages. Flagging in case it's a bigger issue.
— Logo Geek® (@Logo_Geek) August 28, 2017
@Airbnb_uk my Airbnb app keeps sending old messages to other guests to an upcoming guest. Is something happening to the app?
— Alice Evans (@AliceMEvans) August 28, 2017
@Airbnb we are getting some strange emails via the system. Is there a virus?
We are in SE England.
— Fred Long (@Catfordkid) August 28, 2017
My @Airbnb has just delivered a bunch of messages I must have sent over a year ago and now I look insane. Wtf, anyone had this?!
— Gemma Edwards (@ItsGemmaEdwards) August 28, 2017
Oh hey @AirbnbHelp Who has managed to get into my account now? I'm not using it but have these notifications. Nothing in app. #airbnbfail pic.twitter.com/TyfvHiXFGR
— Richard Conway (@StagEspresso) August 28, 2017
@AirbnbHelp Please STOP texting me. Had over 100 overnight!!! I've asked nicely!!! pic.twitter.com/DO3JwTGghY

This looks like a rogue script at best, and a massive data protection infringement at worst. Let me know your experiences in the comments.
Update: Airbnb has blamed this on "an issue with the SMS system". I asked about the data protection issue, but Airbnb did not address it directly.

Izsizshelub, The Signal In The VoidDenny Smed barely understands the treasure that he holds. The small, cylindrical whistle that he took from the dead necromancer's body is made of no substance he's ever encountered before, not wood, not metal (nor even the impossible black metal the Divine Order of the Purple Tentacle have encountered from time to time), but something else. Something violet and resinous, as if it were leaked as an ichor into its current shape by some beast-demon in the aether-swept reach of the cosmos. Perhaps, Denny, perhaps that is the truth of it, for this thing, this strange instrument, looks as if it has no home here, even on a world as strange as Ore.
It's a whistle, of course, and whistles are meant to be blown. When Denny blows the whistle, he knows that he is investing a small portion of his cosmic essence in the thin and tremulous note that issues forth. He does not know whither this damned note wafts, to what dark corner of the universe it wends its way, but he does know that it does not come back alone. Something rides the tone back to Denny, some lonely daemon-spirit, summoned to this world by that haunting note. That something looks for a home but, being an inscrutable something from realms beyond Man's understanding, can find purchase solely in the bodies of the deceased, animating them with a semblance of life, bound to serve the whims of the whistler.
Denny does not know yet whether the whistle will exact any price worse than a sliver of his soul, nor is he terribly worried if it should. He has seen his wizardly companions face the corruption of their bodies and souls and yet they still command vast powers beyond his understanding; price be damned, for Izsizshelub, the Signal in the Void, has made Denny more than a mere thief.

Courses for Paralegals
For litigation-specific courses for new and experienced paralegals, visit our Paralegal Courses page. Law firms and corporate legal departments use these courses to bridge the gap between what they teach in paralegal certificate programs and the paralegal skills that most litigation attorneys need from their professional staff.
We give paralegals a solid plan to implement right away to increase their billable hours. The methods discussed in this paralegal training program come from years of research that included asking attorneys "how does a paralegal get the billable work off your desk and on to their desk?" It also comes from asking paralegals who consistently exceed their billable hour goals.
Program Highlights
- A review of a study that shows one method alone that could give paralegals an additional 100-150 billable hours right away
- Attorney research on why they prefer to use one paralegal over another
- What other paralegals are doing that allows them to consistently exceed annual quotas for their billable hours
- The importance of planning for slow billable hour months when there are vacations and holidays
- Develop a solid plan on which methods paralegals will focus on to get the most ROI in the shortest amount of time
In this motivational workshop, we put a new spin on Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by showing paralegals how they can develop their own 7 habits that will advance their careers to a new level.
This workshop content is great for kicking off an annual professional development series or a presentation at a paralegal retreat. Like all of our paralegal training programs, we can customize this presentation to make sure we are include the habits that you would like your team to focus on.

The top criteria for advancement and promotion for all professionals is an ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing. It is a very important paralegal skill to possess. Many paralegals believe people are born to be great communicators. Instead, we show them that it is a skill that can be developed by working on it each day.
Program Highlights
- Understanding the difference between generations when communicating
- Four methods to use to be more concise in your communication
- The importance of being confident in your communications with attorneys
- Easy steps to a better proofread to eliminate errors in your writing
The key to reducing write-offs is to draft time entries that show the real value of the work that was done. We show paralegals methods for drafting time entries that show the real value of their work to the billing partner and to the client.
Program Highlights
- The importance of showing the real value of your work to the client
- Understanding the impact of write-offs
- The key content that should be in every time entry
- Top reasons cited by billing partners (and corporate counsel) for writing off paralegal time and what you can do to change that

- Implement Quick Tricks and Useful Keystrokes
- Work with Excel Templates
- Copy, Paste and Embed Data
- Create Hyperlinks to Worksheets and Other Files

They will be able to set a plan for which methods will work best in their particular situation. The session also covers how to reduce administrative/non-billable time to free you up to work on more billable projects.
Program Highlights

By Cole Bunn, Research Analyst, LSN
Life Science Nation's mission of connecting scientist entrepreneurs with capital gave rise to the Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) conference nearly 3 years ago. As we approach our seventh RESI conference, during the highly anticipated JP Morgan week in San Francisco, we're expecting a record of well over 300 investors representing over 200 different firms in attendance. Figure 1 shows a breakdown of investors by type who will be at RESI San Francisco on January 12, 2016. You can also view the firms represented here.
Venture capital is the most represented investor type, and this includes a growing number of non-traditional venture firms in today's investment landscape. For instance, the relatively new emergence of the "micro VC" has more capital flowing into seed and series A stage companies. As shown here, several other investor classes looking for early-stage life science technologies that don't fall under the venture capital umbrella also have a large presence at the RESI conference. This diversity of investors means that RESI Partnering can provide RESI's great variety of attendees with the opportunity to make a connection with a financing partner that's the right fit for their round.
Life Science Nation's network of varied investor types will be showcased on an assortment of panels throughout the day. The 16 panels scheduled to take place at RESI San Francisco will cover the full range of companies in the life science space (biotech, medtech, diagnostic and health IT) and the different investor class' tactical guidance for navigating the investment process of their respective niches and outlook on the future of each sector. The LSN research team's unique perspective on the investment landscape has spurred a new panel that will be held for the first time at RESI San Francisco, Consumer Health "Investing in Innovative Products for Healthy Living," and the return of two panels from former RESI events, Asia-Pacific Investors, "Forging Cross-Border Collaborations in Healthcare," and Orphan & Rare Disease Investors, "Seeking Returns On Investing In Small Patient Populations".
The fundraising process is typically a lengthy one, therefore multiple interactions with prospective investors and strategic partners are essential to a successful campaign. The RESI conference is an ongoing series that provides just that, allowing entrepreneurs to interface with a diverse field of investors, foster existing relationships and make new connections throughout the year, at multiple events. RESI San Francisco is just the first stop for 2016, with additional RESI conferences being held in Houston, Toronto and Boston, later in the year.
This ongoing chain of conferences coupled with the forward-looking investor mandate information used in our partnering platform really makes RESI stand out in terms of the ability to make meaningful connections. To see a demonstration of just how effective the partnering system can be at finding a match, please watch this video.

Memorial to slain military officers outside of my office at IUB
In the two days since I've returned to Bangladesh I've met with four colleagues from the Independent University of Bangladesh (IUB) who have lost family and friends in the BDR attack inside of a military compound in Dhaka last week. Still completely shaken one of them was on the scene a few days ago with family members searching for the bodies of the missing. Yesterday students made this memorial titled "Heroes Never Die." How and why can such a thing happen? Many theories are being discussed and some are calling it a planned massacre rather then a mutiny. It clearly wasn't a random attack.
Military on alert in Dhaka, Feb 26, 2009. Photo © Salman Saeed
For two days last week parts of Dhaka looked like they were under siege. Over 80 army officers were murdered by lower rank BRD border patrol soldiers. Jessica Lim, a photographer friend who was on the scene last week had this to say; "There is something more to be said about the crowd. First of all – since when did people walk towards the sound of gunfire rather than away from it? Sure, they ran when it got too loud, too close. But they ran with smiles and laughter. They ran off till it was quiet, and then regrouped and came forward again. I don't understand this. Did they not know that people had already been killed by the misfires? Was this a game to them? The worst thing was that I couldn't tell where the guns were from, or what they were aiming at. I didn't know where to hide my very not-bulletproof body."

Light Tunnel, Sleds and Santa, Pastorela 2.0
Events December 19-December 25, 2019
Various Authors noon, Dec. 15
On Tuesday, city councilmembers will consider entering into a contract with Crownair Aviation to provide fuel for the City of San Diego's four police helicopters and two fire helicopters.
If approved the City will pay at least $5.48 million to Crownair Aviation over the course of five years to fuel the six helicopters. The prices are based on an estimated 5 percent increase in the price per gallon of fuel but that amount can fluctuate depending on actual fuel prices.
The Kearny Mesa-based company has run into some problems in recent months. In July of this year, Crownair Aviation was one of 50 aviation fuel retailers accused of selling lead-based fuel, also known as avgas, without proper public notification. The legal complaint was filed in Alameda County by the Center for Environmental Health in Oakland.
It is said that lead-based fuel for used in aviation is the largest contributor to lead emissions, according to a press release from the Environmental Center for Health.
The new contract with Crownair Aviation comes after years of cuts to the police department's Airborne Law Enforcement Unit. In 2011, the police department reduced the hours of flying time by four hours, to six hours a day.
That reduction was good news for some residents living in University Heights and Normal Heights who have complained about the noise from police helicopters. Typically, the helicopters hover over mid-City communities in order to stay out of the flight path for Lindbergh Field and away from traffic helicopters.
The city council will discuss the item at a 2pm hearing on Tuesday.
The police department and Crownair Aviation did not respond to a request for comment.
They could save a lot of fuel by no longer circling over the Rolando area on a daily basis, often multiple times per day. It's not just University Heights & Normal heights. The noise shatters otherwise quiet afternoons/evenings. There is never an apparent reason for the overflights, no sirens, nothing reported in the news or on the Crime Mapping application. Occasionally they make announcements from the chopper but it's impossible to understand the message due to the prop noise. I tell my wife that they are either looking for a lost child or a serial killer not sure which!
Dennis, It's funny because we lived in University Heights before moving to Talmadge and you're right, they are definitely here as well. I was only aware of the complaints from those in University and Normal Heights. Thanks for the comment.
I lived in City Heights and it was like living in Beirut, had police choppers overhead everynight.....we also had more than a few high speed pursuits..........
This whole issue of misuse of those ultra-expensive choppers has gone on for years. Here in No County we have them show up and circle for 15 to 20 minutes over a freeway accident. Say what? Yes, they hover or circle above freeway crashes. Any need for that? Not that I can identify, and the reports in the media never offer a reason. The reason is that the flight crew is on duty, and they head to the nearest "event", even if it needs no aerial surveillance at all.
Hey, these guys are very busy flying around looking for/at homeless people; you know, public enemy #1.

Girl Shy is a 1924 romantic comedy silent film starring Harold Lloyd and Jobyna Ralston. The movie was written by Sam Taylor, Tim Whelan and Ted Wilde and was directed by Fred C. Newmeyer and Taylor.
Harold Meadows (Lloyd) is a tailor's apprentice for his uncle in Little Bend, California. He is so shy around women that he can barely speak to them (to stop his stuttering, his uncle has to blow a whistle). Despite this, Harold writes a "how to" book for young men entitled The Secret of Making Love, detailing how to woo different types of young women, such as "the vampire" and "the flapper" (in scenes that parodied two other popular films of the time, Trifling Women and Flaming Youth[citation needed]), and takes a train to see a publisher in Los Angeles.
The same day, rich young Mary Buckingham (Ralston) boards the same train after her automobile breaks down in Little Bend. No dogs are allowed aboard, so she hides her Pomeranian under her shawl, but her pet jumps off as the train pulls away. Harold rescues her dog and helps Mary hide it from the conductor. She sees his manuscript, so he starts telling her about his book, overcoming his stuttering in his enthusiasm. They become so absorbed in each other that neither realizes that the train has reached its final destination and everyone else has departed. Upon returning home, Mary rejects the latest in a string of marriage proposals from persistent suitor Ronald DeVore, "the kind of a man that men forget".
After her car is repaired, Mary intentionally detours through Little Bend repeatedly, hoping to see Harold again. On one such trip, Ronald is also along for the ride, and his unwanted attentions cause Mary to swerve and get her car stuck near the outskirts of Little Bend. While Ronald walks back to town for a tow, Mary goes for a walk and happens to reunite with Harold. After telling Mary about the remainder of his book, Harold informs her that he is going to see the publisher, Roger Thornby, in a few days to deliver a new chapter that will be about her. They agree to meet again afterward. Meanwhile, Ronald runs into a woman who asks if he is finally going to introduce her to his family, but he stalls, then rides away in the tow-vehicle.
Mr. Thornby's professional readers find Harold's book hilariously absurd, so he rejects it. Without any royalty money, Harold figures he cannot ask Mary to marry him. So he pretends that he was only using her as part of his research. Heartbroken, Mary impulsively agrees to marry Ronald. Afterward, though, one of Mr. Thornby's senior employees convinces him that, if the staff liked the book so much, there must be a market for it, so Thornby decides to publish it as "The Boob's Diary".
A few days later, a depressed Harold gets a letter from the publisher, but just rips it up without opening it, assuming that it is a rejection notice. Fortunately, his uncle notices that one of the scraps is part of an advance royalty check for $3,000; the accompanying letter states that the book will be published as a comedy. At first, Harold is outraged, but then he realizes that he can propose to Mary after all. However, when he sees a newspaper headline announcing Mary and Ronald's wedding that same day at her family's estate, he gives up. By chance, the same woman whom Ronald had met a few days earlier walks in and, seeing the newspaper story, tearfully exclaims that she is Ronald's wife. As proof, she shows Harold a locket with the couple's wedding portrait and the engraved words "to my wife" that Ronald had given her two years earlier.
Harold embarks on a frenzied headlong dash, involving bootleggers, car chases and multiple changes of vehicle (from missing the train to various cars to a trolley to a police motorcycle to a horse-drawn wagon to horseback), through the countryside and along the crowded streets of Culver City and Los Angeles. He bursts in just in time, but he cannot stop stuttering long enough to expose Ronald's intended bigamy. So Harold simply carries Mary off. When they are alone, he tells her about Ronald's secret and shows her the locket. Mary gets Harold to propose (with an assist from a passing mail carrier's whistle), and she accepts.

This was Lloyd's first independent production after his split with Hal Roach. It is what Lloyd called a "character story" (as opposed to a "gag film"), and is notable for containing fewer of the stunts which characterize Lloyd's other films throughout most of its length, and instead focusing more on the relationship between Lloyd and Ralston. However, the lengthy finale of the film is one of the most exhilarating, non-stop action sequences of Lloyd's career.
It was also the second of six consecutive movies pairing Harold Lloyd and Jobyna Ralston, who left Hal Roach Studios as well to continue working with Lloyd. Unlike the normal style for filmed romances prior to Girl Shy, both Ralston and Lloyd were featured in comedic scenes.

Vita Eggs
Vita Eggs
There is no difference between a brown egg shell and a white egg shell. Vita eggs shells typically are white in colour. The contents of a white shell and or a brown shell is identical in flavour, and nutrients. This is a scientific fact.
Hens are raised in free-run "birdhouse" aviaries (developed, designed, and approved in Switzerland, the world's leader in appropriate animal housing standards). The flavourful, wholesome taste of Vita-Eggs is the result of the multi-grain diet of the hens. The feed ration includes corn, wheat, oats, sunflower seeds and dried herbs it does not include any animal products. There are no artificial substances added to enhance production and the hens are never medicated.
- A good source of 7 essential nutrients; the only single egg with this clam in Canada
- Also features significantly increased levels of the antioxidant vitamins A and E as well as Folic Acid. These are all important nutrients that play key roles in a healthy diet

Since the Hawaii Superferry's maiden voyage on Aug. 26, there has been nothing but controversy for the 450-foot ship named the Alakai. From protesters surfing in the water preventing the boat from docking on Kauai to courts placing restraining orders on the ferry, there has been quite a stir about this new way of transportation among the Hawaiian Islands (well, at least three of the islands).

The Superferry is beneficial to the state of Hawaii. One of the reasons is the convenience this ferry will bring. The Superferry offers passengers the option of bringing along their car, full of their belongings.
The Superferry has the potential to benefit our Kamehameha ohana as well. Athletic teams could use the ferry to travel to sporting events on neighbor islands. Teams could just throw their equipment into a school van or bus, load up on the ferry and travel to another island to compete.
Even boarders might also benefit. They could hop on board and visit their families more often throughout the year. The thought of bringing over the family car for a special weekend also could be entertained.
Not only could the Superferry benefit our Kamehameha ohana, but it could also benefit the rest of Hawaii, residents and tourists alike. Residents could use the ferry to visit their families living on other islands more frequently and conveniently than ever before.
The ferry offers tourists a new way to see the islands from a vantage point that wasn't always available in the past. Passengers on the ferry will spend about four hours on the deep blue sea, viewing the many sights that Hawaii waters offer.
The Superferry opponents don't present any real arguments against the ferry. Protesters argue that the ferry will cause traffic problems on the other islands. Traffic is something that is inevitable; traffic is eventually going to find its way to every place in the state. After all, we do live on islands!
With more and more people moving to Hawaii, traffic is going to occur, with or without the Superferry. The benefits of the ferry will far outweigh the potential traffic problems.
The Superferry could bring growth to Hawaii's economy. With more people traveling throughout the islands, more business will follow. When people travel to places like Kauai, they will spend money; more spending is good for businesses, which eventually leads to a better economy.
Dissidents of the ferry really oppose it for only one reason: They don't want to share their island with people who don't live there. It is just a matter of time before more and more people inhabit their islands.
And the blame is wrongly falling on the Superferry.
The 106-meter-long titan catamaran known as the Hawaii Superferry has definitely made waves in the islands recently. The Alakai can transport approximately 866 passengers and 282 vehicles. But this form of travel will be detrimental to the Hawaiian Islands and hurt the islands rather than help.
One of the routes offered by the Hawaii Superferry is from Honolulu Harbor to Nawiliwili Harbor on Kauai. On that single trip, the four Kamewa 125 SII water jets will burn 12,000 gallons of diesel fuel. That is 12,000 gallons of diesel fuel being burned daily, building up air pollutants. Many Superferry protesters are largely concerned about the effect this will have on Hawaii's environment.
The Superferry will be able to travel 35 knots in open water, which would be about a four-hour trip from Honolulu to Nawiliwili. Thirty-five knots for such a large vehicle is hazardous to the marine wildlife that call the Kaleiwaho and Kaiwi channels their home.
With no sonar to locate such wildlife as whales and turtles, the Superferry will be voyaging blindly, unforgiving to anything that cannot make its way out of the ferry's path.
There are also many asking what, exactly, is coming over on the Superferry.
Kauai is one of the only islands free of the invasive mongoose that has already ravaged much of the ecosystems in other places. With the Superferry, there will be an increased chance of the mongoose spreading. Hidden in a car or on board, a mongoose could make its way to other islands and harm those environments.
The lives of the endemic nene and other plants and animals could be jeopardized.
Plants also will be vulnerable to invasive species. Miconia has been a serious threat to the islands, harming many native Hawaiian plants, and is considered to be the "brown tree snake of the plant world."
Researchers try hard to eradicate this plant, and launching the Hawaii Superferry will only add to the spreading of this dangerous species, with seeds possibly traveling in stealth underneath a car or even cemented into the mud on a car's tire. We should be protecting this already sensitive land rather than further endangering it.
Each island also faces a dramatic increase in traffic daily. The Superferry encourages passengers to bring along their vehicles. On one trip to Nawiliwili, the Superferry could bring more than 280 cars every day, at the rush hour time of 5:30 p.m.
With an undeveloped highway system compared with Oahu, the two other islands will face an enormous increase in traffic every day.
The Superferry is a big issue to all of Hawaii right now, and although there are many good points to back it up, the downside of the Superferry must be heeded.
There are too many risks to put total faith in this overgrown catamaran.
Airline price wars, Superferry blockades, island residents pitted against one another, temporary restraining orders -- interisland transportation has never been so entertaining.
This odd condition of chaos and pandemonium in which the state finds itself has been a boon to Kamehameha Schools' boarders who are taking advantage of the battles that have resulted in lower interisland fares. Boarders can see their families more often, and visitation dates are not limited to those scheduled on the school calendar.
"I think the price drops are wonderful! It allows more family time for our boarders," said Charmain Wong, director of boarding.
According to Kamehameha's Admissions Office, there are close to 500 boarders and their families who can benefit from the low fares from the islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai.
Last June, when go! airlines entered the market with a $19 promotional fare, the interisland fares of Aloha and Hawaiian dropped to match their new competition. And it is go! that is keeping interisland travel affordable.
"My mom bought four round-trip tickets." senior boarder Kalena Makanui said. "I don't really go home that much except on common weekends, so it's really nice to be able to go home."
Junior boarder Lance Delos Reyes agreed: "I've been really excited! I get to go home more. I wanted to stay home longer the last time I went. I kind of wish (the cheap prices) would stay around longer so I can continue to go home more."
A more affordable way to travel might have been the Superferry, if it weren't for the temporary restraining order preventing them from doing business until the matter of the environmental impact statement has been resolved by the courts.
"I think I'd like the idea of the Superferry," Makanui said. "I really like it when my mom comes over, and with the Superferry she wouldn't have to pay for a rental car. And I think that if she didn't have to spend money on a car, she'd come to visit me more often."
Alamo, Hertz and National, three leading car rental agencies in the state, advertise weekly car rentals between $200 and $400. Bringing a car interisland on the Superferry could be done at a comparable cost, but parents or students can bring more belongings on the boat.
Those who would benefit the most from the Superferry would be students from Kauai, who, with 186 students, make up the largest contingent in Kamehameha's boarding program, according to the Admissions Office.
The low rates and expanded travel options have touched many families. Travel has become more accessible for the majority.
The price drops "give parents the opportunity to see their son or daughter participating in athletic games, plays, concerts and other school activities," Wong said.

They called from Los Angeles and Miami. They called from Woodstock, N.Y., and Stamford, Conn. After reading last Sunday about Abraham the homeless dog who scrounged on the streets of Queens, they all wanted to help.
There were lifetime offers of food. A woman volunteered to pay his veterinary bills. One man of means considered sending his driver and limousine in pursuit of the furry tramp. They were concerned, but their interest ended with that phone call.
Until Thursday, when John Contino, a retired telephone repairman who spends his days rescuing stray and abused dogs, took it upon himself to track down Abraham in his five-block territory in Astoria.
Mr. Contino, 54, runs a one-man one-dog rescue squad called Mighty Mutts out of his house in Brooklyn. He will take in any dog that needs help, acclimate it to decent society and then place it in a loving home. Mr. Contino now has 18 dogs living in his basement, he said.
It was Thursday afternoon as the snow began to fall when Mr. Contino called The New York Times by cellular phone. ''I've been following him for four hours,'' Mr. Contino said, ''but I got him.'' He was euphoric. ''He's one of the smartest dogs I've come across, but I got him.''
He cornered Abraham with the help of Clint, his red-nosed pit bull, and then lassoed him with a rod and rope. In the background, shouts and sobs could be heard from a group of neighbors who had fed and protected the dog since his master disappeared three years ago.
''I'm having trouble convincing them that I'm not taking him to the pound,'' Mr. Contino said. The neighbors sounded as disoriented as the dog.
Since running wild, he has had many different names, none of which he chose. The neighbors called him Abraham, Trixie, Lucky, Poncho. And when the dogcatcher called him, he just ran. A very clever dog.
Now he is named Tommy, rechristened by Mr. Contino in gratitude for a man who helped to trap him. With the neighbors in tow, Tommy was taken to the veterinarian for a checkup.
Tommy has worms and a growth on his right flank, but his teeth are quite good for a dog who has lived outside so long, said Dr. Salvatore J. Pernice of the Brooklyn Veterinary Group in Bensonhurst.
''It's going to take a while to get him used to people,'' Mr. Contino said. Maybe three months. Maybe a year. ''He was tortured living out there on the streets.''

Quick post for ya today since I can't hold back my excitement about this berry colored faux leather jacket! Fall fashion wouldn't be complete without a great jacket! This color just exudes Fall, don't you agree! The deep berry/burgundy color is such a statement too. It's that pop of color that makes an ordinary outfit extraordinary! I also like that the fur collar is removable, which means it can be worn during more seasons and with more outfits.
I've paired this cropped jacket over my turtleneck dress that is also a fall staple (I wrote about it here). This midi dress is also a great option and comes in a few more colors too! I added my fleece lined leggings to stay warm and over the knee boots to finish the look (they fit well for muscular calves too). Oh— and almost forgot, this gorgeous jacket is under $35, making it an easy decision to "add to cart". Happy shopping ladies!
I hope you love this moto jacket as much as I do! Leave a reply and let me know. Don't forget to check out my holiday gift idea tabs on my blog— I've done my homework for you and linked some really great deals for the special people in your life!
xoxo, Nicole

For the first time in 33 years, a supermoon occurred during a lunar eclipse, giving the celestial orb a blood-red tinge and then allowing it to vanish almost as if it were being eaten by the sky. There are plenty of amazing photos of the event, but this time-lapse video taken by Bryan Snider in Gilbert, Arizona, captures the phenomenon best because it shows the remarkable evolution of this historic occurrence. The next "super blood moon," as it's been dubbed, won't be until 2033, so feast your eyes on this beauty.

What is quality assurance?
Quality assurance is a fundamental part of the NHS Breast Screening Programme. The aim of quality assurance in the NHSBSP is to maintain minimum standards and to improve the performance of all aspects of breast screening in order to ensure that women have access to a high quality breast screening service wherever they live.
How is quality assurance organised?
Each NHS region has a quality assurance director for breast screening and a quality assurance reference centre. Each regional quality assurance director is supported by a regional quality assurance team which includes a professional coordinator from each of the professions which contribute to the breast screening programme (radiology, radiography, pathology, surgery, breast care nursing, administration and medical physics). Each professional coordinator meets regularly with colleagues in the region to review the performance and outcomes of the breast screening programme, to share good practice and to encourage continued improvements in the programme. There is also a programme of regular quality assurance visits to breast screening units. These provide a further means of assessing the performance of the breast screening programme and of professional competence within the programme. They are an essential part of quality assurance.
What do quality assurance reference centres do?
The quality assurance reference centres (QARCs) collect and collate data about the performance and outcomes of the breast screening programme, organise quality assurance visits, and provide support for the regional director of quality assurance and the professional coordinators. The reference centre is the first point of contact for information about the breast screening programme in the region.
How are quality assurance standards set?
Regional quality assurance directors and professional coordinators meet regularly in a series of national coordinating committees. Representatives of relevant professional organisations such as the Royal Colleges are also represented on these committees. The national coordinating committees produce guidance on good practice and set standards and targets for staff working in the breast screening programme and for the technical performance of equipment. National standards and targets for the performance and outcomes of the programme are also published. These are published in a series of NHS Breast Screening Publications.

Excavator Bucket is a piece of a development extend that obliges substantial gear apparatus particularly an excavator container. It is a connection that is exceptionally helpful in development ventures that obliges a considerable measure of diving like in making scaffolds, trenches, jettison furthermore in mining.
The container is an application that can be connected even at cranes, tractors, and other development hardware, widely used in heavy equipment rental in Spokane, in used heavy equipment for sale in Seattle, etc. As the expression itself, its fundamental intention is to burrow and burden a bigger volume of material that is of extraordinary help and in the meantime helpful to the labourers at mining and development locales. This kind of machine for development is an extremely solid and sturdy one. They are generally made of steel which can convey substantial materials without breaking and burrow to the ground with the utilization of the excavator can teeth. This a piece of the machine is assembled like this so it will separate the materials that it will burrow and it would be simpler for the machine to do its undertaking due to this gimmick.

Bleating goats 18 goat coloring pages and pictures
Goats are very gentle animals and are easily tamable. We have been making use of goats from our prehistoric times. They were used as pets, for wool, milk and even flesh. Goats also stay close to their masters for their entire lives. They are very shy animals and always wish to maintain their own circle of friendship. They don't usually get along with other persons who are not his master.
A goat feeds on plants, especially grass. They communicate with each other by bleating and each goat can recognize the bleat of another goat. They are also very intelligent and curious in nature. They always have a constant desire to explore and investigate the placed and unfamiliar surroundings. Hence there is always a shepherd to guide them, else they will easily get lost. The goats are also close to the shepherd and will remember to stick along with him once they are accustomed to him.
Goats can even be taught their names and we can easily train them to come to us when called by their names. They are also one among the 12 Chinese zodiac signs and they represent introversion, shyness, creativity and perfectionism. There is also a myth about them which depicts goats as responsible for the discovery of coffee. This is because in Ethiopia, a shepherd witnessed his goats behaving over active and energetic after eating some plants. Thus he stumbled upon coffee beans. Whether the myth is true or false, no one knows but we would always love the goats as they are very useful animals to mankind.

Carrollton, GA – A pair of West Georgia Wolves basketball standouts were honored Tuesday by the Gulf South Conference. Senior guard Marquill Smith was named GSC Player of the Week, while Jared Simmons received GSC Freshman of the Week honors for their performances in last week's wins over Oakwood and Mississippi College.
Smith, a senior from Miami Gardens, Fla., scored double-double performances in both games a week ago. He scored 21 points and pulled in 15 rebounds in the Wolves' Wednesday win over Oakwood. Saturday, Smith scored 20 and had 11 rebounds in the victory over Mississippi College.
Simmons, a freshman from Newington, Conn., also had impressive numbers in last week's contests. He came off the bench score 20 in the Oakwood victory, and he added 15 in the Mississippi College win.
The honors for Smith and Simmons are the second of the season for each. Smith was named league player of the week on November 27th, while Simmons claimed top freshman honors from the conference on December 11th.
The Wolves are now 9-5 on the season, 4-2 in the GSC. They will next try to begin a new win streak as they head to the road for the first of three straight away from The Coliseum. UWG visits Cleveland, Tenn., for Thursday night action vs. the Lee Flames. Tip time is set for 8 p.m. from Walker Arena on the Lee campus.

President Maithripala Sirisena says that a motion will be presented to the Parliament regarding the instigation of death penalty. He stated that it will be implemented from next year for severe crimes if the resolution received Parliament approval.
The President made these observations at the Second National Drugs Prevention Programme held in Galle today (18th).
The President revealed that there had been many requests for the implementation of capital punishment after the murder of Seya and that there were many requests made before too. He further pointed out that it is instigated in well-developed nations as well.

What exactly do foster families do?
Foster families provide food, water, shelter, exercise and, of course, lots of love. Depending on the individual animal's needs, foster parents may also be asked to administer more specific duties.
How will fostering impact my own pets?
You know your pet best. They may be your best assistant in helping socialize an animal or model good behaviors.
Do I qualify for taking in a foster animal?
If you have a heart for animals, you probably qualify! It is easier if you've had pets before, but, again, most places will help you get started if you need it.
Be prepared
Gather all existing information about the pet you are fostering so you can have a better idea of what to expect.
Talk to your vet if you already have a pet
Talk to your vet about recommended quarantine periods for new foster pets, to keep your own pets safe!
Know your environment
Make sure you know neighborhood and city rules about owning a pet and make sure you are able to comply accordingly.

Today's Gospel: Matthew 11:25-30 – Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
When I was considering becoming Catholic, we attended a small church called Sacred Heart. Uniquely Catholic, I thought, completely clueless as to why it was so touching that Jesus had this crazy-looking, rather sentimental heart outside his body.
Honestly, I ignored it.
And then…then I got older.
Now that I'm married with kids who are growing and going out into the world, I get it.
It's not just an expression to say that your heart is out there walking around: it's the truth. Whether you consider the DNA, or the effort put into parenting, or the expenses incurred feeding and clothing and educating them, those people I love ARE my heart.
And it hurts. Like. Crazy.
It seems especially appropriate then, that today's Gospel features a line I need to lean into again and again: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest."
Jesus isn't just using an expression. He has His Heart out there, in each of us, and He's holding out His arms. Will we jump into them and let Him carry us?
How can Jesus give you rest today? Will you let him?
Sacred Heart of Jesus, help me to love like You do. Hold me and give me rest today. Amen.

Owens Diagnostic Medical Sonography Faculty and Students Deliver Winter Clothing to Those Less Fortunate, Dec. 3 and 10Posted on November 30th, 2011
PERRYSBURG TOWNSHIP, Ohio – Owens Community College's Diagnostic Medical Sonography faculty and students are reaching out those in need of clothing during the upcoming winter months by distributing over 250 coats and 300 items ranging from hats to scarves during the upcoming Saturday mornings, Dec. 3 and 10.
The community outreach initiative is titled "Susie's Coats" and named in honor of Owens Associate Professor of Sonography Susan Perry of Woodville. Now in its fifth year, "Susie's Coats" has provided over 1,500 winter clothing items to those less fortunate in the Toledo area.
"The whole initiative began when I celebrated my 50th birthday five years ago," explained Perry. "My family asked what I wanted for my birthday, which is Dec. 1, and I told them that I am blessed to have everything that I could ever want or need in my life. For that reason, I told my family that I wanted to help others and 'Susie's Coats' became a reality."
In addition to becoming a family affair, the "Susie's Coats" initiative has spread to the College's Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program and involves Owens faculty and students.
"The student's ability to work directly with those less fortunate has a profound, positive impact on their lives," said Perry. "Sonography is a health career that involves working directly with patients and their families. This experience enables the students to learn about being mindful of their responsibility to the communities that they serve."
Beginning at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday (Dec. 3 and 10), Owens faculty and students will distribute winter clothing to those less fortunate at the corner of North Michigan and Adams streets in downtown Toledo from a trailer donated by Toledo Harley-Davidson in Toledo. Owens representatives will be distributing items until 11:30 a.m. both days.
For more information about the "Susie's Coats" community outreach initiative, or to donate, call (567) 661-7560 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 7560.
Owens Community College is an accredited two-year, state-assisted institution of higher education that has served Northwest Ohio since 1965. With a commitment to providing small classes, personal attention and unmatched affordability, the College serves the diverse academic needs of credit and non-credit students on the Toledo-area and Findlay-area campuses, as well as at the Arrowhead Park Learning Center in Maumee and the Learning Center at The Source in downtown Toledo.

Journal entry:
Fortunate days, fortunate ways,
Everything falls in place
In perfect timing, comfortable space.
Blessings rain down, erasing my frown
Bringing glowing smiles
To shorten the many miles.
Jesus travels with me, within me,
Making the journey worth traveling,
Keeping my life from unraveling.
Time passes, a year, rich in good cheer,
Hours made so beautiful
By miracles always very plentiful.

There is a lot of content about franchising everywhere. I intend to show in this post what are the main principles to be taken into account when designing a franchising system for a company that decides to add this channel to its established distribution channels.
There is a concept in business strategy, a key term, almost biblical, the "value creation along the channel". And in a franchise process, this concept is magnified because it becomes very complex due to that it involves many players.
Every company creates value for the next point of the channel to justify a premium price o a purchase preference at the same price, basically through two mechanisms:
pulling down the cost to the purchaser, or
increasing the benefits to the buyer
All buyers in the world, as a standard behavior, slow to realize what are them being offered, and they will not pay for not perceived value, no matter how extraordinary this value in fact is. A company that develops little realative value but can communicate it more effectively, can handle a higher price than another company that has developed higher value but do not communicate it properly, for not having thoroughly investigated the channel secrets.
In this sense, it is very important to know, through research, who the real buyer is, since often, the one who decides the purchase is not the one who pays the bills. The purchasing behavior of a customer breaks down and is influenced by two main features:
Use criteria (functionality). For example, product quality, physical characteristics of the product, delivery time, technical support.
Value signals (influence to "increase" the criteria of use). For example, a company's reputation, its image, advertising, packaging, the consumer shopping experience, the management staff.
Below is a diagram that summarizes the basic concepts that value each buyer in the various links of a typical franchise chain, basically four: the final consumer, the franchisee, the franchisor and the potential buyer of the chain. The work is done for a restaturant franchise chain. Anyway, the great "star" of the whole system is and should be the franchisor, as it is the "pitcher" of the business. On his backs remains the ultimate responsability for sendig effective value signals.
What uses: the final product
From whom receives value signals: from the franchisee and the franchisor
Use criteria: Speed and quality of service, price, food presentation, portion size, quality of ingredients.
Value signals: Advertising, combined promotions with other brands, discounts and payment methods, ubiquity, use of recyclable materials and organic ingredients, attractive setting.
What uses: the franchise business format
From whom receives value signals: from the franchisor
Use criteria: franchise format profit margin, franchise format business model, marketing support from the franchisor, franchisor speed of response, quality of franchisor training programs, flexibility to adapt some franchise format items, availability of adequate personnel in the market.
Value signals: Financial provisions, proven business format and years of experience, absence of litigation with other franchisees, amount of franchises in operation, ammount of franchises closed or not renewed, geographical extension of the chain, brand market share.
What uses: the brand
From whom receives value signals: from its internal structure
Use criteria: franchise requests by potential franchisees, ability for systematize the business, internal structure to train franchisees, management's ability to manage a business chain, peaceful conviviality of franchising with existing channels, brand ownership with no litigation.
Value signals: Powerful brand, financial health, market proven products and business format, quality products and easily obtainable ingredients, marketing strenght, brand awareness, superior management team, outstanding suppliers and sponsors.
What uses: a consolidated franchise chain
From whom recieves value signals: from the franchisee, from the franchisor and from the consumer
Use criteria: revenues, profitability, portfolio synergy with other owned businesses, consumer profile, stage of life cycle, possibility of joint other businesses with the brand, quality of suppliers and sponsors.
Value signals: financial health of the franchisor, simple structure and simple contracts, geographical extension of the chain, brand market share, lack of litigation.
As noted, the design criteria are different for the four analyzed levels. Based on these criteria, the designer of the franchise system must understand the different players power projects, and work better than the competition in all aspects, so that each link "buys" in the following in more advantageous conditions.

Fire Hose - Wall Sign
Placing a wall sign that says, "Fire Hose" will help people to know exactly where a fire hose is being stored. If a fire breaks out in your facility this sign can help people to respond more quickly, which can help minimize the danger and the damage in the area. Employees who know where a fire hose is stored can grab it to put out a fire very quickly before it spreads.
If that is not an option, emergency responders may benefit from being able to see this type of wall sign. It will let them know that they have the option to use your internal fire hose in addition to the main hoses that are brought with them. Whatever the case, having a wall sign placed near the actual fire hose will let anyone who may need it quickly locate it and put it to good use in any emergency situation.

TI News: An information service from Office of Travel & Tourism Industries (OTTI)
June 29, 2007
The Office of Travel & Tourism Industries (OTTI) released the 2006 data on overseas travel to destinations in the United States. Key findings include:
New York continued to outpace California and Florida in 2006 as the top state/territory visited by overseas travelers. California maintained its lead over Florida, although both states had a decline in visitation from 2005. The next most visited states/territories were: Hawaii, Nevada, and Guam. To view the market share, volume estimate and percentage change for overseas travelers to the U.S. for 2005 and 2006, please visit OTTI's web site at: http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/cat/documents/2006_States.xls.
The top cities visited by overseas travelers in 2006 were: New York City, Los Angeles, Orlando, San Francisco, Miami, Honolulu, and Las Vegas. Only NYC experienced growth from among the top nine cities. Nonetheless, visitation to Boston and San Diego grew by double-digits. To view the market share, volume estimate, percentage change and shifts in the rankings for 2005 and 2006, please visit OTTI's web site at: http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/cat/documents/2006_Cities.xls.
Destination visitation estimates are publicly released for 14 states and 16 cities, a lesser number than the 30 states and 49 cities released in 2005. This is due, in part, to an OTTI policy change whereby the minimum number of survey respondents was increased from 100 to 400 in order to increase the quality of the estimates. In 2006, the growth in overseas arrivals to the United States was flat. The overall decline in visitation to top destinations was offset by increased visitation to medium and smaller destinations.
Origin market profiles, consisting of seven world regions and 11 country profiles, are also posted on the website: http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/outreachpages/index.html#inbound. There are fewer profiles released than in 2005 due to the aforementioned policy change. However, the profiles now provide more traveler characteristics data than in previous years. An analysis of the origin market profiles will provide insight as to the change in visitation levels to specific U.S. destinations. For example, if key countries for a destination registered slower growth or declines in travel to the United States (i.e., UK down four percent, Japan down five percent, Germany down two percent, France down 10 percent and Italy down two percent), those origin markets probably had an impact on visitation to the U.S. destination. Also, changes in key traveler characteristics, i.e., business versus leisure mix, the number of destinations visited, and their use of transportation within the country may also influence visitation.
The general profile of the overseas traveler may be viewed at http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/cat/f-2006-07-001.html and discloses the following traveler characteristics: trip planning factors, the purpose of trip (business and/or leisure), whether a tour package was used, the proportion of first time vs. repeat travelers to the country, demographics (age, gender, occupation type, income), activities and expenditures.
In addition to the aggregate level data available on the web site, OTTI also offers detailed and custom reports or data on a subscription basis. For information on the research programs that were used to generate the market intelligence data, see the publications section and custom reports section in the Research Programs area of the Survey of International Air Travelers (In-Flight Survey Program), at: http://tinet.ita.doc.gov/research/programs/ifs/index.html. If you have any questions on the visitation estimates, please contact our office.
