Inspired to become a volunteer?
Habitat for Humanity of Waukesha County is proud to present Bob Beglinger with the 2018 Volunteer of the Year Award at our annual Housing Champions Award Luncheon.
Bob began volunteering in 2001 when his church, St. William Catholic Church, sponsored a Habitat home build. Bob had no prior home construction experience but signed up as a regular volunteer. He hasn't stopped volunteering since. He is now working on his 25th home build and volunteered over 5,000 hours of his time.
There a lot of reasons why Bob enjoys building homes with Habitat, but it starts with the work itself. "Taking something on at the beginning of the day, and seeing the progress at the end of the day, is very satisfying."
The mission of Habitat also aligns with Bob's values. He and his wife, Claire were able to buy their own home at an early age, and know how much impact that can have on a family.
"It provides stability. Particularly in regards to any kids, they're in the same school from year to year, they have a house to go home to."
Bob later served on Habitat's Board of Directors from 2008-2010. Right in the thick of the Great Recession, he helped guide Habitat through financially straining times and is now helping build eight homes in 2018.
"It's nothing short of amazing if you ask me. I'm constantly amazed how we've fostered that growth. You need people with drive, you need people with vision."
Bob also served as a volunteer construction crew leader before Habitat had construction staff. He was integral in getting homes off the ground, as a planner, builder, and volunteer leader.
As with many volunteers, Bob finds working with future homeowners building their own homes is an invaluable part of the process.
"One of the most rewarding parts of the privilege of working for Habitat, you get to know them, get to see their skills improve, see the pride and ownership of owning their own home."
Another aspect that keeps Bob coming back year after year is the volunteer community at Habitat.
"There are a lot of wonderful people. There have been some characters along the way too," Bob said, laughing.
And how does it feel to be a Housing Champion?
"I'm still amazed at that. When I think about the contributions of the people that have been named Housing Champions before, I'm certainly honored and humbled."
His secret to long-lasting volunteer success?
"I try to be helpful, that's all I can do. I enjoy it. Helping a family, giving them a hand up, that's valuable...A lot of them come into the process not believing it can happen. But they're certainly believers afterward."
My grandfather was a great carpenter and woodworker who built custom doors and windows. As a small child, I remember visiting him in the carpenter shop with a wood burning stove going and saw dust on the floor so thick that it was like walking in snow. I guess this woodworking attachment was instilled in me at an early age.
My first real job in high school was working in a family owned lumber yard. I enjoyed working there and used it as a stepping stone to get a job with a small home builder a couple years later. Back then we did everything from the foundation footings to roofing. Home construction has changed quite a bit since then, the tools and the material technology, not to mention all the new building codes.
My career path took me in a different direction after those years in construction but I never lost my affection for carpentry. Over the years I helped my family and friends reroof their houses, put on siding, install drywall, hang doors, and everything in-between. I took a class in cabinet building and over the years built a number woodworking projects in my garage and basement.
When my job took me to Nashville, Tennessee, I volunteered for a couple of Habitat for Humanity builds that my company sponsored. Working with the Crew Leaders, other volunteers, and homeowners got me attracted to doing more.
When retirement drew closer and closer, Habitat was in the back of my mind as a way to give back. My family and I have been fortunate in life and the Habitat concept of building homes for deserving families only made perfect sense. Personally helping to build a house makes you feel like you have accomplished something real and tangible. Unlike giving to some mammoth organization where you do not know where or how your assistance is being used, with Habitat you know exactly where and how your support affects another family on a local level. Working with volunteer groups is extremely rewarding. Being asked to become a Crew Leader, along with becoming a member of Construction and Safety Committees, fills me with a tremendous amount of self-worth and a desire to do more.
I particularly enjoy teaching or instructing volunteers with little or no construction experience. It is fun to see a volunteer's face after they learn something new and have that sense of accomplishment.
I cannot say enough about the other Habitat volunteers and staff that I have the honor to work with daily. This dedicated group of men and women really care about building a well-constructed house. Their attention to detail gives the impression as if they are building the house for themselves or a family member.
In my two short years of volunteering with Habitat of Waukesha I have already worked on nine houses! That is nine families who will probably become homeowners for the first time in their lives and families who will be able to call their new, well-built house "home."
This gives me a warm feeling that is infectious and, I hope, contagious.
Earl Baumann began volunteering with Habitat in 2006. He worked with Megal Development for over 40 years as a real estate broker and manager of their construction department, while working part-time in a residential design business. These three components of real estate, construction, and design made Earl a perfect fit for Habitat, and he was looking to help us out. "Waukesha Habitat is a growing organization, and I felt my knowledge could be of help," he said. Earl, of course, ended up being a natural on the build site, and quickly ascended into a leadership role, guiding and training fellow regulars, business groups and community volunteers. He went above and beyond his role as volunteer, acting as volunteer construction manager until we hired one as full-time staff.
Earl's favorite parts of volunteering? The families, and the other volunteers. "Meeting the families that occupy these homes is most rewarding to me," said Earl. "I enjoy seeing the children who benefit from having a home to return to and feel safe. And the volunteers who build the homes- their hearts and attitudes are in the right place."
Earl volunteers three days a week almost every week, and his thousands of volunteer hours over the year has helped Habitat Waukesha County move from a house-a-year organization to one that will build six homes this year and will soon assist dozens of other families with home repair.

Most Habitat for Humanity affiliates have a paid, full-time construction manager. For many years, Habitat for Humanity of Waukesha County did not. Instead, we relied on a group of 10-15 volunteer leaders (the "crew leaders," or as we affectionately call them, "the saints") to run our build site. Not only is Don Pike a member of the saints, but is a leader among those leaders.
Don began his volunteer work with Habitat in 2001. "My family and I have been blessed through the years," Don said. "So just before I retired I was looking for some way I could give back to others." Don had worked on several home construction projects while doing charity work with his church. He heard that Habitat was in need of volunteers, and decided it was the right fit for him. Don has since put in several thousand hours of volunteer work building 14 homes with Habitat, including almost 800 hours of service last year. This, on top of babysitting his young grandchildren several times a week.
Habitat builds three days a week for eight hours a day, and it is a very rare sight to not see Don on site for every minute of it. He arrives early to help plan the day out, and spends his off-time helping to make the actual plans for how the home will be built. When on site, he is meticulous in making sure the house is built correctly. Put simply, Habitat couldn't build as much as we do without him. Not only does he use his construction knowledge to physically build the house, but he uses his charm and kind attitude to help new volunteers integrate onto the build site and teach them how to build. From college students to a group of bank employees to individuals who have retired and want something to do, Don guides the hundreds of community volunteers who work on our site each year. This adds up to thousands of hours of additional volunteer work that is made possible by Don's contributions, and he is often listed as one of the best parts of volunteers' build experiences, keeping them coming back for more.
One of the most satisfying parts of the job for Don is being able to work side by side with Habitat homeowners and volunteers, getting to know them personally. "My favorite part of volunteer work is meeting so many great people, those we help and those who are volunteering," Don said. "At Habitat it is being able to do something I enjoy while helping a family in need get a home, plus getting to know them and working with such a great bunch of volunteers. What more could I ask for?"
Don has had a great impact on the Waukesha community and is the epitome of the mission guiding Habitat affiliates around the world: building homes, building hope, building community.

Now bloatware free. Only mobile os that lets you share posts from Facebook friends.
Sometimes sluggish load times. No offline chat.
Bottom Line
Facebook for Android is a robust, full-featured Facebook experience, and the best way to check Facebook on an Android smartphone.
Props to Facebook for listening to user feedback. When Facebook released its second major update to the Android app last April, it controversially added three, non-removable icons to people's app drawers. The icons were intended as shortcuts for users to post pictures or send messages via Facebook. Design-wise it was a bad, business-driven move, and within the first week users widely condemned the update. Android users have enough bloatware to contend with!
Similar Products
Facebook v1.9.3 for Android (free) omits the bloatware and fixes some bugs. As a result it's now perhaps the best mobile Facebook experience, compared to Facebook for the iPhone, Windows Phone, and PlayStation Vita. At the same time, loading pages feels slower than ever.
100 Best Android Apps
40 Best Free Android Apps
10 Must-Have Android Apps
Android Apps Product Guide
Android-centric Interface
Most of you know what Facebook is, so I'm just going to highlight all the mobile nuances. After installing the app, you're given the option to sync your FB contacts to your phone's contacts.
The app populates your screen with your news feed, apart from shortcuts up top for Notifications, Messages, Inbox, and Status updates. You can slide across to pull out a scrollable menu of shortcuts, including buttons for your profile, photos, messages, events, friends, apps, and groups. Facebook Chat is in there too, but it is essentially a replica of your inbox.
Notably, in Android you can share content from within the app. This function is missing in Facebook for all other mobile platforms.
Refreshing news feeds and loading data within Facebook for Android feels sluggish at times, but definitely less so with this update. I performed a simple real-life refresh test on a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.2, with Wi-Fi switched on. It took 4 seconds to refresh my Facebook news feed in the Android app compared to 5.3 seconds after the previous update. This result is comparable to the iPhone 4 on Wi-Fi (4 seconds).
One thing the app could improve upon is implementing CodeGenerator, a spiffy mobile security feature that is only available to Android users—iPhone users have another workaround. CodeGenerator can be found within Account Settings, and simply prompts a user to enter a 16-digit code to log into Facebook from an unrecognized device. I couldn't activate it within the Android app, and was directed outside the app to set it up. A less determined user would probably drop the idea altogether.
Keep the Updates Coming
Despite the frustratingly slow load time, Facebook version 1.9 for Android is still the best way to access Facebook on an Android device. Other Facebook clients, such as Friendcaster, offer much more customization to your Facebook skins and such, but I don't know anyone who uses it. Facebook's Android client is already pretty darn good.

Load balancing is the process of dividing the amount of work that a computer has to do between two or more computers so that more work gets done in the same amount of time. Load balancing can be configured with or without security.
In order to support stickiness, the Apache mod_jk load balancer relies on a jvmRoute system property that is included in any JSESSIONID received by the load balancer. This means that every Enterprise Server instance that is front-ended by the Apache load balancer must be configured with a unique jvmRoute system property.
On each of the instances, perform the steps in To Enable mod_jk.
If your instances run on the same machine, you must choose different JK ports. The ports must match worker.worker*.port in your workers.properties file. See the properties file in Example 6–5.
On each of the instances, create the jvmRoute system property of Enterprise Server by using the create-jvm-options(1) subcommand.
Use the following format:
asadmin> create-jvm-options "-DjvmRoute=/instance-worker-name"/
where instance-worker-name is the name of the worker that you defined to represent the instance in the workers.properties file.
To apply your changes, restart Apache HTTP Server and Enterprise Server.
This example shows an httpd.conf file that is set for load balancing.
LoadModule jk_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_jk.so JkWorkersFile /etc/httpd/conf/worker.properties # Where to put jk logs JkLogFile /var/log/httpd/mod_jk.log # Set the jk log level [debug/error/info] JkLogLevel debug # Select the log format JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] " # JkOptions indicate to send SSL KEY SIZE, JkOptions +ForwardKeySize +ForwardURICompat -ForwardDirectories # JkRequestLogFormat set the request format JkRequestLogFormat "%w %V %T" # Send all jsp requests to GlassFish JkMount /*.jsp worker1 # Send all glassfish-test requests to GlassFish JkMount /glassfish-test/* loadbalancer
This example shows a workers.properties or glassfish-jk.properties file that is set for load balancing. The worker.worker*.port should match with JK ports you created.
worker.list=worker1,worker2,loadbalancer worker.worker1.type=ajp13 worker.worker1.host=localhost worker.worker1.port=8009 worker.worker1.lbfactor=1 worker.worker1.socket_keepalive=1 worker.worker1.socket_timeout=300 worker.worker2.type=ajp13 worker.worker2.host=localhost worker.worker2.port=8010 worker.worker2.lbfactor=1 worker.worker2.socket_keepalive=1 worker.worker2.socket_timeout=300 worker.loadbalancer.type=lb worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=worker1,worker2

Dr. Moopen's Foundation Proves that Care Goes Beyond Boundaries, Filipino child receives free heart surgery in India
Dr. Moopen's Foundation (DM Foundation), the organization set up by Aster DM Healthcare Chairman Dr. Azad Moopen, has once again proven that saving lives has no boundaries. In a unique multi-country charity initiative, a rare cardiac corrective surgery was successfully performed on Joneil Dasi-an, a 5-year-old boy from the Philippines at the Aster Medcity, Kochi. Conducted under the aegis of DM Foundation's 'Save the Little Hearts' initiative, the surgery was carried out by a team of Indian specialists led by Dr. Sajan Koshy, Senior Consultant, Paediatric Cardiac Surgery, Center of Excellence in Cardiac Sciences, Aster Medcity, Kochi.
Indeed, the world becomes small when we reach out to care. The 'Save the Little Hearts' program has been helping indigent Filipino children with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) by providing free surgical treatment within the Aster DM Healthcare network. For the first time, a child coming straight from the Philippines is able to be flown to India for this much needed heart surgery at the world-class Aster Medcity.
"Joneil presented with bluish coloration of fingertips and lips and problems in breathing, all resulting from the congenital heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot. This should ideally have been corrected in the first year after birth. The procedure was not free from risk due to his age. But we decided to take up the challenge. The child was evaluated by our expert team of specialists and a five hour long surgery was successfully undertaken," commented Dr. Sajan Koshy, Senior Consultant, Paediatric Cardiac Surgery, CoE Cardiac Sciences.
In Tetralogy of Fallot, abnormalities in the structure of the heart result in blood with insufficient oxygen circulating through the body causing the various symptoms like cyanosis (bluish discoloration) of nails, lips and skin, tiredness and breathlessness. If left untreated, the defect has a 50% mortality rate in the first three years of life in addition to causing delay in growth and development.
Since the program was started, the DM Foundation has helped 26 Filipino children from disadvantaged families, who cannot afford to have their children treated for congenital heart disease to undergo corrective cardiac surgery. In addition, about 750 children have benefited from the 'Save the Little Hearts' program across various geographies. These children, primarily from India, but also from Afghanistan and Africa have received free or subsidized treatment from Aster DM Healthcare facilities channelized through the DM Foundation and its associates including MIMS Charitable Trust and other support associations.
Dr. Azad Moopen, Founder Chairman & Managing Director of Aster DM Healthcare and Founder of DM Foundation, is a physician turned entrepreneur and philanthropist. During his early career, he had witnessed many families struggling to afford specialised treatment for many complex and critical health conditions. He founded the DM Foundation to help such patients and it is under this foundation that the not-for-profit initiatives of Aster DM Healthcare and Dr Azad Moopen's family are being carried out.
Commenting on this unique initiative, Dr. Azad Moopen, said, "There are many children who are not able to reach their full potential because of congenital heart disease. Coming from poor backgrounds, the parents also cannot afford to have their children treated. The philosophy of our foundation is to provide quality healthcare to the deserving and make a difference in their lives. We are happy that DM Foundation has enabled Joneil to get the treatment to put him back on the path to a bright future. We look forward to helping more such children in the future through our efforts."
Aster DM Healthcare-Philippines Country Head Joyce Alumno emphasized, "Five children are diagnosed with CHD for every 1,000 live births. Reports show that every nine minutes, a child below 15 years old dies of heart disease. We are grateful that through the selfless heart of Dr. Moopen and the expertise of our doctors in India, children like Joneil are given a chance to enjoy a quality of life like any normal child."
"We want to do more. In fact, we have a line of possible beneficiaries needing urgent attention. However, we are unable to do so because of the long queue in the hospitals. With the success of Joneil's case, we can now say, we can make this happen," Alumno said.
Lance Masters, a Rotarian from the Rotary Club of Manila supported the DM Foundation and has accompanied the patient and his mother to India. He has documented Jolien's journey to health on his Facebook page. He said, "Jolien's free cardiac surgery has been possible thanks to a truly remarkable philanthropist, Dr Azad Moopen, who has designated 20% of his wealth to his charitable foundation dedicated to assisting poor people with catastrophic medical issues. In the Philippines, Dr. Moopen has committed to helping 50 indigent children with congenital heart defects through the DM Foundation's 'Save the Little Hearts' program. I am honoured to work with the Foundation in this noble mission."
Dr. Harish Pillai, Cluster Head for Kerala & CEO Aster Medcity said, "The successful procedure is yet another testament of the exemplary skills of Aster Medcity's talented team of doctors at our advanced world class quaternary healthcare facility. We are happy that the child is now recovering well and can look forward to lead a normal life."

Downing Street said both the baby, born weighing 6lb 1oz, and the Prime Minister's wife were ''doing very well''.
''The Prime Minister and Mrs Cameron are delighted to announce the birth of their fourth child, a baby girl,'' a spokesman said.
''Both the baby – who was born weighing 6lb 1oz – and Mrs Cameron are doing very well.
''The PM and Mrs Cameron would like to thank the doctors and nurses at the hospital for their help and kindness.''
The couple had been enjoying a 'staycation' holiday in Cornwall, with children Nancy, 6, and Arthur Elwen, 4 when Mrs Cameron went into labour.
Delivered at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro, the baby, was a month early.
No name has yet been announced.
The news that Mrs Cameron was pregnant broke in March, just ahead of the General Election campaign and a year after the death of their six-year-old son Ivan, who suffered from cerebral palsy.
In May 2000, Leo Blair became the first child to be born to a serving prime minister.

Likely, your customers already understand that in working with a reputable, reliable and well-informed manufacturer or distributor, they are gaining a resource that can keep them abreast of industry trends and best practices. To ensure you are providing customers with the greatest possible value, make sure that you too are getting the most out of your supplier. Consider the following five tips for maximizing the value you get from your most powerful resource.
Do Your Research
The best way to understand your suppliers' capabilities is by taking a site tour. Getting a firsthand look at how they handle product can confirm what you have heard about them, and give you insight into processes that could further your business. You can learn more about their reputation by looking at the marketplace. Learn about the associations or conferences in which your suppliers participate and talk to others in the field to determine your suppliers' reliability, stability and other strengths.
Make Sure You Are Compatible
When your suppliers share similar corporate values, you can be sure you are keeping the promises you have made to your customers. For example, companies that promote sustainability know that when working with us, they will be able to show their end-users proof of sustainable practices beginning with forestry. Or if custom products are your niche, ensure that your supplier has the innovative manufacturing processes in place to support your custom needs.
Set Your Expectations Early and Check Them Often
Put a clear plan in place and establish key performance indicators on which all parties can agree. Do not set these expectations and forget about them. Check in regularly to ensure your supplier has not changed their processes. By working with suppliers that have clear quality control in place and have control over every step of their processes, you will have easy insight into product performance. This regular communication also creates an ongoing dialogue where you can voice how concerns or potential future needs can be met with process improvements.
Bring Your Supplier Into Your R&D Process
If you are looking to meet the next industry demand, start by exploring the options your supplier is watching and learn how they can help you to meet new needs. By starting with the source, you can more easily determine how to meet, or set, the next wave of trends.
Build Strong Relationships
A valued supplier can serve as an extension of your team. Through ongoing, open communication chains, you can rapidly get to the bottom of any problem that might arise, gain access to the earliest sales forecasts, stay on top of leading trends and much more.
To build a solid relationship with us, meet our sales team!

Basics of pdadmin: How to attach ACL to an object
Posted by April 7, 2013on
Let's continue our example about unauthenticated junctions in WebSEAL and attach our passthrough ACL to some resource – for example, the famous "favicon.ico" file.
* An authenticated 'pdadmin' session
* The name of the passthrough ACL (assuming "webseal-passthrough" here)
* The full object name of "favicon.ico" file
So, here it goes:
pdadmin sec_master> acl attach /WebSEAL/isam-70.lab.mycompany.com-default/favicon.ico webseal-passthrough pdadmin sec_master> acl find webseal-passthrough /WebSEAL/isam-70.lab.mycompany.com-default/favicon.ico pdadmin sec_master>
Simple, ah?

This blog would look at whether it will be feasible for schools to become entirely paperless in the future. It would look back at how technology has changes schools and education and where it could go in the future.
It's no secret that schools are suffering from a lack of funding; there has been multiple reports of schools asking parents for donations, considering four day weeks to save money and warning of redundancies. Despite this however, schools may be missing a golden opportunity to plug the gap and save money by switching to more digital means and embracing the paperless revolution.
In the 1990s schools were reliant on blackboards, exercise books, overhead projectors and a handful of computers that supplemented learning perhaps once a week. Fast forward 20 years and blackboards have all but been wiped out, overhead projectors have been replaced by remote control LCD projectors, and computer rooms are now not only reserved for once a week. And as a result, exercise books are becoming less relied upon. But could schools go completely paperless sin the future, or is this idea just a pipedream?
Perhaps even a decade ago many might have said 'Yes' when answering that question. However nowadays, the idea of a paperless school doesn't seem so scary. Gradually the use of computers and iPads has changed the way pupils work forever. Technology has overhauled schooling, for pupils, teacher and parents in equal measure and created a more streamlined and effective culture of learning:
The digital revolution has made feedback meaningful and quick by providing audio and two-way, instant communications. For example, teachers are able to go through work submitted via online platforms – or even apps – and provide them with digital feedback in the form of messaging or audio on each section rather than assigning a generic grade based on the work, which is not overly helpful for the student.
Digital ways of working encourages students and can help avoid disheartening by highlighting areas where they have done well. This helps to balance out the more negative feedback and shows them clearly what was good, and what needs improving.
But most of all it saves time and money by reducing the need for paper. Utilising minimises the time needed to photocopy 30 copies of a worksheet for example, while also cutting down on spending on materials.
All of the above benefits have been talked about a lot in recent years, which has perhaps contributed to schools taking on more digital forms of communication in schools. Essentially, as the world has evolved and pressures have built, schools have had to keep up with developments to ensure they are maximising their time. And as the world adopts more digital principals, schools are certain to follow suit, and one day, exercise books may be replaced by tablets.
Are you looking forward to a digital education sector?

He's Got This Ultimate Set of Tools
"Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it." If you don't remember your Fast Times at Ridgemont High quotes you're probably not alone. The scene is worth remembering because the context is ridiculous. So it is sometimes with software development. The cost and effort of fixing the existing implementation is sometimes just too great. The changes cut too deep. You're better off throwing out the current stuff and starting from scratch.
In software development you rarely understand your problem domain perfectly, if ever. You learn what your customers want through trial and error. Sometimes your organization has made such poor attempts at delivering the product people want that you can't help but throw away what you've currently got and try again with what you learned from your previous attempt.
Managers usually hate to hear such talk from developers. Developers always want to rewrite things. But in some rare cases they're absolutely right. Refactoring is great if you're even remotely close to what you want to do. But what if your product is built on bad assumptions of epic proportions?
Could CVS have been refactored incrementally to arrive at git? Could Windows have been refactored to create Linux? Could MacOS have been refactored to create OSX? Could Internet Explorer be refactored to create Chrome? When do you come to the realization that what you want, what you need, is so far away from what you have that you can't get there from here? When is the cost of making changes to your current product artificially inflated by the technical debt and faulty abstractions to the extent that it's better to throw it all away?
That's the advantage your competition has. You've shown them your near miss at a great product. If the people in your organization advocating a rewrite were magically transported into a competing startup that was creating a competing product from scratch would you be at all worried? If the answer is "yes" then you should use the advantages you have (those very same people plus a more intimate knowledge of the problem domain and where you went wrong) and do something about it. Plus if something in your product actually proves useful you can copy and refactor it into the new product.
There are certainly risks but the rewards are incredible.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is an anime about card games that stars a little boy named Yugi Mutou who owns an Egyptian necklace that he uses to transform into an Egyptian leather pants-whipping pharaoh named Yami to cheat on said card games. Episode upon episode is spent discussing how the power of friendship can destroy more than Al-Qaeda and acquisition of golden Egyptian crap, all while having HOT CARD PLAYIN' ACTION! REAL PAPER CUTS! JAPANESE SCHOOL GIRLS WITH SHORT SKIRTS! TINY MOUTHS! BUY SOME FUCKIN' CARDS! THEY'RE NOT JUST INK ON PAPER! THEY'RE REAL MONSTERS, MOTHERFUCKER!
Season 0: Little is known about the real first season of Yu-Gi-Oh! because the poofters in the English speaking world considered it too violent. It showed how Yugi solved the Millennium Puzzle, became possessed by
Yami Atem, forced a guy to shoot and kill himself, chopped off a watch collector's hand, set a guy on fire, and tricked a serial bomber into blowing himself up. The manga was so violent that even Japan had to tone it down, which says a lot considering what usually flies there.
Season 1: Yugi Mutou a high school student that still hasn't hit puberty living with his Pedo Grandpa who runs a game shop. Yugi has a girlfriend and two boyfriends, who hang around him simply because he's good in the sack. They are known as Tea Gardner, Joey Wheeler, and Tristan Taylor. All of them love Yugi's heart of the cards and his throbbing man-meat. Shit hits the fan when Yugi's grandpa is caught looking at child porn by Pegasus and his soul gets trapped in a card. Yugi fights Pegasus for his Grandpa's freedom. Seto Kaiba also joins in to save his brother from the child labor exploiting clutches of Maximillion Pegasus, who is about to send him to the Shadow Realm. Ironically, being stuck in the Shadow Realm (getting raped by Niggers with AIDS forever) was created by 4Kids as a more forgiving alternative to just dying.
Season 2: Wanting to prove finally how big his cock is, Seto Kaiba challenges the whole fucking world and Yugi to attend his card game tournament.
Season 3: Some green-haired dead kid traps them in a digital world or something. They obviously escape as without those fags there wouldn't be more Yu-Gi-Oh!. The rest of the season continues Kaiba's shitty tournament.
Season 4: Only season worth watching, as it's the only season 4Jews didn't completely fuck up. The season is about a couple of fags (one of them being mai big boobs who joins their brony club cause boo hoo she sucks at dueling) dueling other people to kill/steal people's souls. Of course everyone can just easily ignore those people as they don't physically force any harm on them, but no, the protagonists just have to duel them cause OH NOEZ THEY STOLE THE GOD CARDS!!!!!!1111111111
Season 5: Kaiba hosts another gay tournament, this time Yami doesn't participate for the winner gets to have a three way with him. The tournament gets completely dominated by a pink haired brony who eventually gets his ass kicked by Kaiba. Yugi and pals finally leave the nerd convention to do something fulfilling: tripping balls and hallucinating of an Ancient Egypt with card games. Bakura tries raping the helplessly high heroes, but is Cockblocked by Yugi who's so high he thinks he's a 21st century Pharaoh in Japan. Bakura gets buzzed and rambles about his boyfriend Zork and his massive Dragon Penis, saying he'll avenge him for being defeated by the Pharaoh. Kaiba's pressured by the fangirls to join in, wanting to see what sexing a giant dragon on an LSD trip feels like. Shit happens, ending with Yugi finally hitting puberty and asserting his dominance over his unconscious friends, then challenging his imaginary boyfriend to a card game to decide who's Top and who's Bottom. Yami loses, and unable to accept that his Egyptian cock is smaller than an Azn kid's, commits suicide and goes to Hell for worshiping pagan Egyptian gods.
Yugi Mutou/Yami: Since Yugi couldn't afford Pokémon cards, he resorted to Duel Monsters instead, all while wearing an oversized 70's medallion that's about the size of a compact car around his neck that for some reason holds the soul of an Egyptian Pharaoh. On a side note, does Yami has the same spiky hair for pubes?
Yugi is also a prime example of the gay/sexless main character because when we are introduced to Rebecca Hawkins that begs Yugi to fuck her like a troubled teen in the back of a van with 6 guys, he can't be bothered because he'd rather play a card game.
Téa Gardner: The useless pair of tits needed in every anime.
Joey Wheeler: Yugi's boyfriend and the bitch, submissive bottom, of the relationship. New Yorker faggot who rapes the English language whenever he opens his greasy mouth, wears a fursuit twice in the series, and needs the prize money from the first season's tournament to cure his loli sister's blindness that fans love to ship with Kaiba because, giggle, Kaiba and Joey hate each other.
Tristan Taylor: Yugi's retarded friend. Winds up falling for Joey's sister because his standards are just that low.
Ryo Bakura: Another faggot who's possessed by a thief who wants to get all of the Millenium thingamajigers for who knows what. His hair resembles a mop. His use to the series is entirely unknown except, maybe, to give fangirls something to finger themselves to. It is suspected that he's only there to play the role of the obligatory creepy, slightly camp kid that is experimenting with cross dressing because in the first season, he's in a dress after telling everyone that his favorite card is Change of Heart.
Seto Kaiba: Two words: Narcissist asshole. Despite being the richest motherfucker in the universe, and given a loan of a million dollars to start his own business, his main goal in life is to beat Yugi at a Children's card game to compensate for his tiny penis. Wears one of the stupidest trench coats in existence (its only known use is flicking bitches in the eye with the bottom hem when he turns around to sulk after losing to his tiny, leather clad arch nemesis for the umpteenth time). He is convinced that inventing technology to play holographic card games actually benefits society and besides being a fuctard of a human with no soul, we as the viewer are supposed to believe that he's such a secret hippy that he has no interest in making assloads of money in military contracts because 4 kids has decided late in the game that they're going to turn him into an antihero more like Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Mokuba Kaiba: Kaiba's younger brother that needs some fucking lozenges pronto. Besides existing, he does a whole load of fucking nothing and gets kidnapped four times in the course of the series. Fans creamed all over themselves and have been having wet dreams over the idea of Kaiba fucking Mokuba ever since the Kaiba Land episode when he was made the Princess that needs rescued in a Zelda like video game.
Solomon Mutou: Yugi's grandfather. In season one, Pegasus trapped his soul in a card leaving his body a vegetable, which was ironically the point of the series where he was the most useful. In the fashion of Chris Chan, Solomon Motou opened up a card shop motivated by the thought that it will bring in lots and lots of Jail Bait from Yugi's school who want to learn how to kill people with a card game. Dissapointed that in all these years, he's only had 3 customers (Tea , Tristan and Joey) and Kaiba who tried to kill him. Now that I think about it Solomon is more along the lines of Michael Snyder and Kaiba is Chris Chan
Maximillion Pegasus: The creator of the card game, possesses the Millennium Eye that can see beneath your clothes, and tries to take over the Kaiba Corp. so that he can use its technology to resurrect his dead wife.
Mai Valentine: Anime version of Paris Hilton, but with bigger boobs and a vagina that doesn't look like a ham sandwich that was left in the sun for 3 days. Fails in every single game and sells her soul because she is always coming in fourth place, right behind Joey.
Marik Ishtar: He had to guard a tomb for some reason, but became possessed and now wants to destroy the world in emo fashion because his dad won't let him have a motercycle. Has a Millennium Rod that he shoves in places that you wouldn't believe. If Bakura resembles a mop, that would make this one a feather duster.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
The original Yu-Gi-Oh! series recently concluded when everybody remembered that the card game was just a fucking fad and laughed at seeing formerly expensive packs of cards at Family Dollar. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX launched on Cartoon Network, all about people who somehow make a fucking living playing cards, enough of one to have a school about it. Wonders never cease. Now your original Yu-Gi-Oh! cards are worthless decks as tournaments don't use them anymore.
In this series, gay 13-year-old boys and some token girls that are only there for the tits and ass factor attend a school that teaches them how to play this easy card game. Various things try to destroy or control the school, like Dicks and the students must protect it, because if there was no school then there would be no plot for the next episode. And everybody knows kids love school.
GX in a nutshell
- Action: Bigger boobs on teenage girls than on your mom. Just like the first series, every season ends with the fate of the world depending on a fucking card game, meaning it's serious business.
- Lulz: "And this one time at Duelist Camp" is the only lulz worthy line in the first and second season of this show.
- Merchandising: More ink on cards...I mean monsters, motherfucker! And brace yourself for Elemental Hero Condom-man.
- Morals: More cards, more power.
Season 1: Season goes on with some faggot who goes by the name of Jaden Yuki who applies to enter Duel Academy, aka a school where each student wastes three years of their life to learn how to play cards games when they can search on Google how to play the fucking game in five minutes. Ironic how anyone takes the school seriously when the first episode Jaden defeats one of the headmasters in a duel no problem. season goes off with the students being stupid that is until eight basement dwellers attack the school and go after the seven spirit keys holders (aka the students) in hoping to defeat them to unlock the Sacred Beasts. What do the Sacred Beasts do? Destroy the world? No, just gets rid of card games for good. Everyone knows that you can't live without card games so they duel the Shadow Riders despite the fact they could easily ignore them and save the world that way.
Season 2: As usual the season involves with someone wanting to rule the world or something similar to that. in this case some crackhead (Sartorious) goes around dueling students and ass-fucking them which somehow gives him the ability to brainwashing them to join his orgy club. he brainwashed most of the Obelisk dorm and turned the blue dorm into the white dorm hoping to scare the shit out of the 15-year-old residents, despite that nobody feared his psycho ass that was until some boring fuck with no friends gives him the keys to a satellite which could destroy the world (brainwash the world in the dub, nice work 4Kids) only because he won a duel.
Season 3: It all started with the school's chancellor inviting psycho masochistic fucknut Cobra from another yugioh school to devise a whole new tournament to improve Jaden's skills in cheating at this card game. A bunch of other kids are invited to participate as well. This tournament involves playing "Dis-Duels" (a Japanese pun on death) and each participant must wear a bracelet which sucks their life force away for playing card games. Of course, everyone is too stupid to realize at first that they collapse after a duel because of the fucking bracelet. After a bunch of unnecessary battles Jaden and the others go after Cobra who is hiding in a conveniently placed military fortress right in the middle of the jungle. Why anybody else doesn't know about it given the fact that it's on the motherfucking island where they live their sorry lives is unknown.
After beating Cobra they realize it actually all started with Jaden sending a lame ass card called Yubel to space when he was a kid because mean bullies wouldn't let him summon it and the card responded with killing everyone. Yubel was controlling Cobra to get to Jaden and now Cobra dies and everyone gets sent to a different dimension where Yubel takes control of a child and starts the first zombie apocalypse. Imagine a bunch of zombies saying "play a children's card game with me!", isn't that a great idea? Anyone who plays a game with them gets turned into another zombie. They beat Yubel again and return to their world, but Jaden's new found love, Jesse Anderson doesn't get back, so he decides to go back and a bunch of unimportant characters follow him.
They get to a world where you die if you lose, stating again that cards are, in fact, serious business. At this point Jaden begins blaming himself for everything that's happened so far and takes his rage out on a bunch of duel monsters, then battles the dark ruler of the world and his friends get sacrificed for a card. Jaden gets so emo that he becomes the middle boss of the series and his new cards are literally called "evil heroes". Some nigger finally beats him in a draw, so they both die, except Jaden, because he's the protagonist.
Everyone realizes Yubel's to blame for everything, so they go and fight it. Yubel explains how everything has all been to reciprocate Jaden's love cuz clearly, he sent it to outer space out of love and not because it killed a bunch of nerds. During teh epic battle Yubel takes over Jesse's body so Jaden would drool at the sight of him and can't stop taking every obvious "I hate yous" as love declarations. They decide that nobody actually died, like you didn't see that coming. After Yubel's third fucking form appears they change their mind and now it all started with Yubel promising Jaden's unborn self to love and always protect him by becoming a card. By the way, Yubel's a guy... Jaden LITERALLY fuses his soul with his in the end.
(This was the final season in the dub as 4Jews were like "fuck GX let's move on to 5D's, even though we won't finish dubbing that spin-off either so we can move onto the next spin-off". The final dubbed episode made it looked like that Jaden got killed in the process of fusing with Yubel and saving the world once again, only for him to magically reappear in the next movie! Way to go 4Kids!)
Season 4: They just rehashed what happened in the previous seasons. Jaden ends up saving the school again by beating death itself in a card game. In the end they bait you with a duel between Jaden and Yugi, but it ends with a jump cut and nobody knows who the winner is. It was probably a good thing that this season never got dubbed despite all the Yu-Gi-Oh! fags crying and bitching back in 2008. FYI, not once did Jaden's ugly ass get laid in the entire anime.
Jaden Yuki: Despite being the best duelist in the school, defeating one of the headmasters in the first episode and saving the world three times, he ends up in the Slifer Red dorm with all the shitty duelists. In the end he takes card games WAYYYY too seriously like all the other fags do. In the 1st episode, Yugi gives him a Winged Kuriboh, his new Fursonna, to carry on his loser friend Joey's legacy.
Syrus Truesdale: Pussy ass midget that no-one likes or gives a rats ass about. eventually in the fourth season he steals his brothers deck
Chazz Princeton: Emo fag who thought he was badass cause he wore blue. that was until he dropped out after losing to two duelists wearing red and yellow. eventually returns to Duel Academy wearing black for the reminder of the series with a yellow boyfriend eventually gaining a green and purple boyfriend as well. bait of all traps as he was brainwashed for the majority of season two and somehow turned into a zombie in one fraction of season three.
Alexis Rhodes: Made only to provide tits. despite the fact every virgin faps to her she's your definition of a blonde as she likes dueling more then sucking cock. Though later on in the series she tries to sleep with Jaden in every episode, but with no success as Jaden is apparently gay.
Bastion Misawa: British cock sucker who thinks he's a genius. in every episode in season one but drops out of Duel Academy in season two to become a male prostitute, and stays in some dimension world in season three that probably has no food to be with some big-titted hoe bag who used to be a Shadow Rider and is actually a tiger.
Zane Truesdale: Everyone sucked his 12-inch cock. especially Alexis and the professors. left the academy in season one to enter the pro leagues only to get his ass kicked by everyone.
Aster Phoenix: Gray-haired retard who cries and whines about his dad dying (eventually turned out he was absorbed into a Duel Monsters card) pretty much no episode in season two that doesn't include his sorry ass.
Dr. Crowler: No one knew what Konami had up their ass when they made this guy a character. literally a gay man with purple makeup on. Despite being the headmaster of the biggest of the three dorms he not only losses to a Slifer student, but has in fact LOST more duels then he has won, having only won two duels! In the first half of the first season he tries to get Jaden expelled due to losing to him, going as far as to hire a boggy man/pedophile to "scare Jaden away from Duel Academy". Dr. Crowler eventually realizes that he only makes himself look stupid trying to get Jaden expelled, so he stops being useful after that.
Jesse Anderson: Take Jaden but with a Southern accent and instead of elemental fags he uses rainbow crystals as more subtext of him wanting Jaden inside him. Like his lover, he too has an imaginary Fursona.
Obelisk Blue/Blue Dorm: Highest-ranking dorm of the three, aka home to a lot of nerds. Dorm to where all the self-proclaimed dueling experts are sent. People think joining this dorm is to die for, but not if your headmaster is gay and all the boys and girls are split into two dorms, with neither side allowed to trespass into the other dorm or they'll get an anal-fucking by Dr. Crowler.
Ra Yellow/Yellow Dorm: Nothing special about this dorm, as it's home to only a few people. Headmaster of this dorm gets no respect, so no one gives a shit about him.
Slifer Red/Red Dorm: Lowest-ranking dorm of the three, because somehow learning how to play cards is serious and tough shit! A dorm that's home to more rats then people. Home to the protagonist as punishment for cumming in Dr. Crowler's ass in the first episode. They care more about parties, sex and drugs like normal people do then card games, so they're cooler then the other dorms.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
Well fuck you if you thought the series couldn't get any gayer. 5D's is the same crap as before, except instead of a backdrop featuring either Ancient Egypt or a Hogwarts style boarding school, they play the same bloody card game, on motorcycles. Synchro monsters are introduced which are like Ritual monsters, except you keep them in the fusion deck and use "tuner" monsters instead of ritual spells to summon them. Big deal.
If you watch this, expect the main characters to pull out the same combo every fucking episode, with the same "I expected that you'd expect I'd expect that you'd use this card" mentality.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal and Zexal 2
The same as the previous three. This installment introduces Xyz monsters which are more broken than Synchro monsters. Even animu fantards notice what a piece of shit it is. The cast includes some overly flamboyant boy Yuma, fat songoku, some generic loli, a blue haired whiney faggot and a homosexual elf looking white spirit living inside Yuma's mind who wants to collect 99 of the Xyz cards, and other characters with probably worse design than Dr. Crawler from GX such as Trey, Quattro and Quinton (Literally named three, four and five in the sub.) who are sporting skirts and one them sporting pink fucking hair! Seriously, do NOT watch this, it's cancer.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V
The story starts out with circus freak Yuya beating the champion using a new method he just invents and thus causes everyone to shit brix. This method is called Pendulum summoning and it enables you to spam the whole field with monsters. Yeah, they're shitting on the rules again. Elitist faggot Reiji Akaba (renamed Declan for the fantards to baw over) becomes aware of this and hires thugs to beat on Yuya so he can learn how to cheat this well, and he can teach it in his duel school which is in no way like GX.
A bunch of unremarkable events later the viewers learn that there are three more dimensions, each for the three card types Reiji's school teaches and the fusion dimension is the bad. There's also sock puppets of Yuya and the generic girl character Yuzu from each (Some say they're actually shitty / recolor Original Characters gone rogue). Reiji organizes a tournament to secretly have Yuya pwn all the Fusion invaders, then challenges him to a duel using Pendulum cards he himself created to give him one-sided gameplay. It is revealed that the final boss is Reiji's father, who wants to gather all four of Yuzu for some unknown reason. Then they warp to the Synchro dimension where literally the same thing happens that happened in 5D's, but this time, featuring a French Coward (redundancy aside), his Terminator BDSM enthusiast, a council of useless geriatrics, a city composed of the 1% and 99%, and an enlightenedd revolutionary, as well as Konami's attempts to shill cards to 5D's fanboys. It's followed by the XYZ/Zexal dimension which accurately depicts North Korea's populace, as Yuya forces everyone to smile, especially a whiny bitch and ex-vigilante. Finally comes the Fusion/GX dimension, re-using the same fucking cast of characters just like the previous worlds.
SPOILER ALERT: Yuya and his hair-dyed clones were once a single bastard who tried wiping out all bloodthirsty fucktards in existence For the Lulz. To do so, he heeded the Dragon voices in his head, fused with them and tried erasing all reality. A Moderator with nothing better to do than going an Hero used the godly power of ink on cardboard to split the villain away from his 4 dragon dildos and turn herself into a 4 Jailbait Lolis. Oh, and she's the daughter of the Nigger in charge of the Fusion Nazis, who desperately wants her back. (Who wrote this shit?)
Rule 34
She was asking for it.
Lesbians in my Yu-Gi-Oh!?
Like Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z, Yu-Gi-Oh! was just another passing fad for the 13-year-olds
Niggers are very cunning Yu-Gi-Oh! players.

Los Angeles band ANIMATO is a high-energy, electro dance machine comprised of Joey Medina (Lead Vocals/Guitar/Keys), Steve Mungarro (Bass/2nd Vocals/Synth Programming), Rexelle (Keys/Synth Guitar/2nd Vocals/Percussion), and Jason Ywahu (Drums/Programming). The band began to form in late 2012 in the wake of the breakup of previous Los Angeles band "The Tender Box." Joey and Steve (originally hailing from southeast LA) of the now defunct group decided to join forces and start a new project that incorporates a more electronic-infused sound. And after an active search, they then brought on San Diego native multi-instrumentalist Rexelle (also known as Maria-Rexelle) in late 2012, and Boston native drummer Jason Ywahu in early 2013 to add the final pieces of the puzzle. The result of this "Social Experiment" as the band calls it, is a musical collaboration that encompasses a myriad of influences combined with 80s Electrofunk, Synthpop, Darkwave, and Britpop.

| Over 2300 years ago Euclid
proved that If 2k-1 is a prime
number (it would be a Mersenne
prime), then 2k-1(2k-1) is a perfect
number. A few hundred years ago Euler
proved the converse (that every even perfect number has this form).
It is still unknown if there are any odd perfect numbers (but if there are,
they are large and have many prime factors).
sigma(n) = sigma(2k-1).sigma(p) = (2k-1)2k = 2n.This shows that n is a perfect number.
On the other hand, suppose n is any even perfect number and write n as 2k-1m where m is an odd integer and k>2. Again sigma is multiplicative so
sigma(2k-1m) = sigma(2k-1).sigma(m) = (2k-1).sigma(m).Since n is perfect we also know that
sigma(n) = 2n = 2km.Together these two criteria give
2km = (2k-1).sigma(m),so 2k-1 divides 2km hence 2k-1 divides m, say m = (2k-1)M. Now substitute this back into the equation above and divide by 2k-1 to get 2kM = sigma(m). Since m and M are both divisors of m we know that
2kM = sigma(m) > m + M = 2kM,so sigma(m) = m + M. This means that m is prime and its only two divisors are itself (m) and one (M). Thus m = 2k-1 is a prime and we have prove that the number n has the prescribed form.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Lindsey and Christopher on their magical wedding day and thought I'd share one image with you. It was taken just after the rain had passed over and just before dusk in the Oriental Garden of one of Chester finest hotels the Grosvenor Pulford Hotel and Spa. The dark brooding sky adds a bit of drama to the wedding photograph, the reflection in the waters of the garden add a bit of magic and even the fish want to get involved.
I will be adding a few more from this magical wedding later It was a fantastic day. Thank you Lindsey and Christopher for employing me to photograph your big day, it was a pleasure and a privilege to be involved.
I think the image looks a bit like a fairytale 🙂

An event every week that begins at 10:00 am on Monday, repeating indefinitely
There are several different kinds of knitters …
There are those that want to be knitters but have never learned (this is a great OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU).
There are those who can manage a straight row–sort of (this is such a good place for you TO BECOME AN EXPERT and FINALLY FINISH THAT PROJECT).
Being a part of a knitting club has its benefits…
Knitting is a great way to connect with friends and your community. Since your hands do all the work almost without any thought behind it, you can talk or even watch a movie while knitting up a storm.

The Rules of Professional Conduct require disclosure that this can be a Testimonial" in regards to the lawyer. These authors are a novel reproduce of people who use their abilities to carry the experiences to their guests with intense details usually on the background scenes and early years of the primary figures within the story,details of the felony activity itself,the research and the way the legal was captured,the real lawsuit and different acceptable details associated with each true tale.
Criminal defense attorneys in felony cases now have lower than one yr (until May sixteen, 2016) to complete a course covering the legal and moral obligations of discovery in a criminal case, together with the necessities of rule 3.220, and the ideas established in Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) and Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. a hundred and fifty (1972).
Last month here within the Dallas space – truly, in the city of Mesquite, which sets smack dab inside Dallas' city limits – a person named Michael Vincent Allen received right into a excessive speed automobile chase with the police and it's reported that there have been instances that speeds exceeded a hundred mph as police automobiles from numerous law enforcement jurisdictions joined within the chase.
If you choose to file an administrative petition and you are dissatisfied with the petition resolution (initial petition or supplemental petition), you should have an extra 60 days from the date of the initial petition choice, or 60 days from the date of the supplemental petition resolution, or such other time as specified by the Fines, Penalties and Forfeiture Office to file a claim to the property requesting a referral to the U.S. Attorney.
Within days of the Hank Skinner oral argument earlier than the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, right here in Dallas there was a victory for which Mr. Skinner and his supporters can maybe take some consolation and hope: Judge Susan Hawk found each Raymond Jackson and James Williams innocent of crimes for which that they had been wrongfully convicted almost 30 years ago, having been found guilty and imprisoned for rape and kidnapping back in 1983.

Processing encrypted data securely in the Cloud is the subject of Mark Will's PhD, and a scholarship recognising his high level of achievement will go some way to help support him while he carries out this research.
Top Achiever Doctoral Scholarship
The 22-year-old is one of two first-year PhD candidates to be awarded a 2014 Top Achiever Doctoral Scholarship from the University of Waikato.
The scholarship adds a one-off payment of $5000 to Mark's Doctoral Scholarship of $22,000 a year for three years from Waikato.
"It's a real privilege to be recognised by Waikato University academics and the Scholarship Board. It was such a nice surprise, I didn't even know I'd been nominated for the scholarship. This means I don't have to find work so I can focus on my research rather than worry about money."
Mark completed a Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences (First Class Hons) in 2013.
Importance of cloud data encryption
The former Hamilton Boys' High School student says it's important that data is encrypted in the Cloud so it remains secure.
"However, the problem is when you want to process this data, it must first be unencrypted, or revealed in plain text, which makes it unsecure when it's outside of the controlled network. Homomorphic encryption allows you to process this data while it's still encrypted."
Mark says there are a lot of people working on the mathematics of data encryption, but he's working on the implementation of it.
"Processing encrypted data takes so long, so I'm trying to find ways to make it more usable. This will allow the building of more trustworthy and secure Cloud applications."
Mark's PhD supervisors are Dr Ryan Ko, Dr Ian Witten, Dr Richard Nelson and Anthony Blake.
The other recipient of the Top Achiever Doctoral Scholarship is Jack Pronger. Recipients of these scholarships are selected based on grade-point average and other factors.

Brazen burglary suspects stream live footage of car chase with police
A gang of suspected burglars shared the trials and tribulations of a high-speed police chase with the world, as they streamed video footage live on Facebook. As the driver recklessly fled from the pursuing cops – or 'bizzies' – his front seat passenger filmed the events and even found time to 'like' comments left on the video.
Watching in real time, Facebook users were able to comment on the chase, with many requesting that the driver detour in order for them to see it live. "Go down Ford Lane lad, we're filming," commented one. "Go past, we're outside," said another.
SEE ALSO: Police chase ends with suspect driving off pier
The man behind the camera kept up a running commentary, saying "Look how many bizzies are behind us," and telling viewers how following police were trying to box them in.
Up to 10 vehicles were said to be behind the fleeing car, with the camera operator regularly turning the phone around to show the flashing blue lights of the pursuing offers.
The chase took place around the Merseyside area, with the five suspected thieves driving a Ford Mondeo. The man filming at one point claims "We've done nothing wrong anyway."
The chase lasted around 45 minutes in total, with five men – the driver, aged 28, and 21, 19, 17 and 16-year-old passengers, were all arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Summer is approaching, and in many parts of the U.S. the season has already arrived, with highs in the 90s and above. Spring and summer warmth can impact our pets, in big and small ways, including tiny, pesky pests.
Fleas and ticks can cause significant irritation and great harm to our dogs and cats. According to Web MD, fleas, though tiny, can eat 15 times their own weight in blood, causing anemia in a dog or cat. Fleas cause itching and are known to be the most common cause of skin disease in dogs and cats. Ticks can bring Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever not only to humans, but to our pets as well.
During the nicer weather of spring and summer, many of our animals spend more time outside. Running through grass, exploring woodlands, and encountering other pets while outdoors can bring your dog or cat into contact with fleas and ticks. And your pets can bring these pesky critters into your home. But, you can restrain that exposure.
A myriad of preventive programs can curb these pests, and therefore, decrease a pet parent's worry. Talk with your veterinarian about how to prevent fleas and ticks from infecting and affecting your dog or cat. You can purchase preventive measures from your vet directly or from a local pet supply store and even online. You may also want to consult the Pet MD website for more information on fleas and ticks, which includes a Flea and Tick Survival Guide: http://www.petmd.com/flea-tick-survival-guide#.
Learn more about fleas and ticks and their impact on pets at http://pets.webmd.com/ss/slideshow-flea-and-tick-overview.
These aren't the only minute pests to be concerned about. Biting flies and gnats can be obnoxious to humans and their animals and may sometimes carry disease. Mosquitoes also pester people and animals. Fur provides some protection, but ears and noses are vulnerable. Living and spending time near a water source makes you and your furry friend more susceptible to swarms of mosquitoes; therefore, protect yourself and your pets from these blood-suckers. Mosquitoes can carry West Nile Virus as well as heartworm, a major disease affecting dogs; cats can get heartworm, too. This disease is now in every state, not just the southern part of the U.S. as it once was. View heartworm incident maps at https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/incidence-maps, and learn more about heartworm prevention at this website: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?articleid=580.
Dogs and cats can be allergic to tiny problematic creatures like ticks and mosquitoes. My springer/cocker mix, Mary, for example is allergic to many environmental objects, including grass, some trees, and mosquitoes. The only way my husband and I knew what allergies she has was to get her tested. Yes, it's an outlay of money, but we now know how best to help her and we know to protect her from mosquitoes. So, when we plan to travel to a lake or river, my husband and I make sure Mary is protected from mosquitoes, biting flies, and other tiny, potential disease-carrying pests.
Being outdoors is fun for us and for our pets, particularly our dogs. But remember there are tiny creatures out there just waiting for a warm body, ours and our animals, on which to inhabit. Therefore, take the needed precautions and purchase those preventative remedies to keep your pet from being infected by fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. Talk with your veterinarian about how to keep your furry friend safe and healthy.
Benefits of Dog Parks
Last fall my community opened a fenced-in dog park, the first secured setting specifically for dogs and their humans in town. Although the community had a dog park for many years, it was not completely fenced, and therefore, not secure. In fact, the North Platte River runs next to the park and several dogs have drowned there.
Good for Residents and Visitors
Throughout the nation, dog parks are popular not only for community residents (two and four-footed), but also for visitors to those communities. For example, in Wyoming (the state in which I reside) next to the Cheyenne Animal Shelter is the Nancy Mockler Community Dog Park. This dog park provides highway travelers on I-80 or I-25 ability to rest and stretch their legs … and to provide the same for their traveling furry companions. Rock Springs, Wyoming has the Bitter Creek Bark Park off I-80. This fenced-in dog park includes a water feature and small lake, nice amenities on dry, hot days.
With more hotels becoming pet-friendly, having a dog park in the community is an added benefit for enticing travelers to choose to stop in that town. Having a dog park, especially a fenced-in one, is welcoming to travelers with dogs because people like knowing their dogs are safe. An enclosed park keeps dogs from running away and from running onto busy streets. And, if you're a visitor to a community, one of the last things you want to worry about is your dog being lost!
Dog parks also provide socialization opportunities, again for both the dogs and their owners. While walking or playing with one's dog at a park, a person is likely to engage in conversation with other dog owners … and the dogs are apt to play with one another, running through the park or fetching a ball or other toy. Studies show people who have dogs are more outgoing and engage in more socializing because, well, like with our kids, we dog people like to talk about our furry family members!
Having a dog park provides great opportunities for exercise for both canines and their humans. Getting outside with our dogs to walk, to run, to play, provides our dogs with activity they need for a healthier life … and gives us people exercise and better health as well. And, exercising with our dogs helps strengthen the bond we share with them.
Separate Spaces for Different Dogs
It's my hope my city leaders will create more fenced-in dog parks in our town, and I hope the next one will provide a separate area for older, less active, and/or special needs dogs. Billings, Montana, for example, provides two sections within one large dog park (total of eight acres in size!): one area for active and larger dogs, and a smaller area for the older, slower, more shy, and for disabled dogs. I have a 17-year-old, deaf, nearly blind cocker spaniel, and when we are in Billings, we take him to this portion of the park, while our energetic, eight-year-old springer spaniel rushes around the trees and rock formations alongside more agile labs, boxers, and mastiffs. Having these two separate areas works well for our furry family.

American Idol reunited JLo and Diddy last night, when the latter came to perform on the show now judged by the former. In case you need a refresher, the two had a very public, very volatile relationship ten years ago.
And, for years, they stayed completely clear of each other, in interviews or otherwise. In the past three months, they have both released singles with "On The Floor" in the titles. The video for JLo's debuted last week on Idol, in fact. We thought it only fitting, in honor of the ex-lovers re-convergence, to see which past-his/her-prime musician is making better music these days.
Production "Ass On The Floor", no question. Swizz Beatz over RedOne in general, as well, but particularly here: "On the Floor" is a toothless bit of club fuzz and "Ass On The Floor" is... I mean, you heard those drums, right?
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

Rapping "On The Floor", despite the "back it up like a Tonka Truck" line, which is a creepy metaphor whose popularity we have never understood. Diddy is many things, but rapper is not really one of them at this point. Maybe why his verse is buried three-quarters of the way through the song. And we feel Pitbull is an underrated purveyor of guest verses.
Chorus "On The Floor" JLo is still better at singing a hook than Diddy's new posse. The "On The Floor" chorus is a lot more catchy than the "Ass On THe Floor" chorus, and given that they're both ostensibly club bangers, that's important.
Video "Ass On The Floor" Also not close. Even JLo's dancing prowess cannot rescue another stupid in the club conceit, and the frozen tundra thing is awesome, if for no other reason, than it gives Swizz Beatz an excuse to wear an old-timey aviation helmet.
Verdict: Technically a tie, but we're going to say "Ass On The Floor" just because we think it is a much better song, breakdowns aside.

Welcome to our Meditation Page! I hope you enjoy these stories and videos from your fellow travelers on the Road to Enlightenment to help you find peace and balance.
We start with a fun and inspiring story by Reni & Rick at Eden's Corner on the power of meditation to connect you to your passions, your Higher Power, and your sanity! You can find more inspiration from Reni & Rick on their Pinterest, Google+, & Facebook pages. Then check out the videos below and take yourself on a well-deserved "Meditation Vacation"!
Meditation: The Ultimate Getaway
Meditation is the only real vacation we'll ever get. There are no lists to make, no suitcases to pack, no airline flight, no worries. Best of all, you don't have to leave home and you don't need a vacation from your vacation.
Thinking of beginning a meditation practice? Perhaps you've heard of all its benefits. Or maybe you know a long time meditator and you're curious about why they seem so different from everyone else you know.
Meditation is a wonderful respite from thoughts that ramble on virtually every waking moment of our lives.
Most of us have around 60,000 thoughts a day and they're pretty much the same ones we had yesterday. It's mentally exhausting. We make to-do lists, set goals, and keep calendars filled with events that are so important we don't dare forget them. Life's ups and downs keep us on a roller-coaster that only stops when we climb upon the merry-go-round. Sleep (or nap if you're lucky!) is never far from your mind, for you know it will end the madness that threatens to drive you crazy!
Physical, mental and emotional exhaustion weighs heavy upon us; affecting our immune system, mood and creativity. I discovered meditation at a time in my life when I was at the point of "losing it." I remember thinking, "I'm dancing as fast as I can!" I needed a break from my brain but I didn't know how get it. Divine intervention brought me to my local college for a yoga/meditation class and it didn't take me long to realize this was the salvation I needed.
Women, having use of both hemispheres of the brain, think A LOT. Our minds are so active we need structure to keep it all together. We can walk a tightrope with perfect balance (most of the time!) or live on the edge, gasping for breath, moving from one shaky step (crisis) to another.
What I absolutely love about meditation, in addition to the peace it brings to daily life, is the fact that it makes the brain smarter. Yea, I said it, it makes you smarter. Scientists have clinically proven that it rewires the brain! Imagine the structure of your brain altering and creating new neural pathways. If that was the only benefit to meditation it would be worth it.
I've always been mentally active, but when I began meditating daily my brain went into hyper-drive! Am I a genius? Probably not, however… I can draft a story or come up with ideas for 6 stories in the time it takes to do a 10 minute shower. Some days it gets a little crazy trying to keep it all in my head before I can write it down. I know what you're thinking, "Get a recorder." I have one; I just have to remember to take it to the shower!!
And while keeping one's sanity is a great reason to meditate, it's not the reason most people do it. If you study the practice of those who meditate you'll find they all do it for the same reason: Connection to the Divine/Higher Power/God. Meditation frees the mind of random thought and creates a pathway that opens your heart to God/Higher Power. Your spiritual "Self," transcends the mind; the intellect. There is no data to analyze and what you need to know is revealed. More accurately, what you have forgotten, you will remember.
Meditation is the ultimate getaway that never ends!

Lawmakers across party lines yesterday passed several extemporaneous motions to express their opinions on the attachment of the "one China" principle to Taiwan's invitation to this year's World Health Assembly (WHA), which has been interpreted as yet another of Beijing's attempts to browbeat the incoming Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government.
Amid snowballing controversy over the WHO's unprecedented mention of the "one China" principle in Taiwan's WHA invitation, the legislature's Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee yesterday invited officials from several government agencies to answer questions regarding China's recent spate of moves to foil Taiwan in the international arena.
During the meeting, a total of three extemporaneous motions were passed, including one by pan-green lawmakers and two by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).
Proposed and signed by a number of lawmakers, including DPP Legislator Lo Chih-cheng (羅致政) and New Power Party Lawmaker Freddy Lim (林昶佐), the pan-green camp's motion stated that UN Resolution 2758, which is also mentioned in the invitation, does not pertain to the representatives of the Taiwanese government and its people to the UN and all related organizations.
"We oppose any nation intervening with or discriminating against Taiwan's participation in the WHA through political measures or based on political reasons," the motion said, expressing gratitude to nations that have supported Taiwan's participation at the annual assembly.
Adopted in 1971, UN Resolution 2758 recognized the People's Republic of China as the only lawful representatives of China to the UN and expelled "the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the UN and in all the organizations related to it."
The second motion, proposed by KMT Legislator Johnny Chiang (江啟臣), said that the government has never recognized Beijing's so-called "one China" principle because the government interprets "China" as the Republic of China.
"Beijing should face the facts that both sides of the Taiwan Strait have been governed by separate administrations," Chiang's motion reads, adding it is "unwise" for China to set preconditions for Taiwan's participation in the WHO.
Another impromptu motion submitted by KMT Legislator Lu Yu-ling (呂玉玲) was also passed, which said the WHA's invitation is an attempt to belittle Taipei.
It also urged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and the Ministry of Health and Welfare to consult with the incoming DPP administration to draw up a letter to the WHO refuting the inclusion of UN Resolution 2758 in the invitation and reiterating Taiwan's status as an independent nation.
When fielding questions from lawmakers at the meeting, MOFA Deputy Minister Javier Hou (侯清山) said it is reasonable to assume that the "one China" proviso is part of Beijing's attempts to put pressure on president-elect Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文).
"Such a move is abrupt and unreasonable. In the past, [the WHO] simply invited us to participate at the annual assembly in a professional and dignified manner," Hou said.
Prior to the meeting, Mainland Affairs Council Deputy Minister Shih Hui-fen (施惠芬) said Mainland Affairs Council Minister Andrew Hsia (夏立言) had expressed to his Chinese counterpart, Taiwan Affairs Office Minister Zhang Zhijun (張志軍), via the cross-strait hotline last month, the government's aspiration to continue to participate in the WHA as an observer.
