Lawrence confident ahead of U-14 Challenge series
National Under-14 coach Aaron Lawrence is confident that his team will top Group F in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Challenge series that kicks off tomorrow with a double-header at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex in Arnett Gardens.
The young Reggae Boyz are set to tackle Grenada in the second game, starting at 4 p.m., while Barbados will meet British Virgin Islands in the opener at 2 p.m.
Big Advantage
Although Lawrence knows little about his opponents, he believes that playing at home in the series is a big advantage.
"I am satisfied with the preparation that we had with the boys coming into the series. We have been preparing for about a month during which time we played in a tournament in The Cayman Islands, and playing at home will lift the boys," Lawrence told The Gleaner yesterday.
The team has been getting valuable help from Wendell Downswell, the Jamaica Football Federation's technical director.
"The technical director has prepared a programme, and the players have adapted to it," he shared.
"The mental and physical aspects of the training have been going well. It will be tough, but we are confident we will move on from the group. We are aware that former Reggae Girls coach Vin Blaine is in charge of Grenada's programme, so it won't be an easy first game."
With regard to how players were selected for the tournament, Lawrence said: "We went into all the parishes with the exception of Portland and organised games, and the best players were selected."
Lawrence said that the final 18-member squad would not be released until today.
National Under-14 Boys' delegations from Grenada, The British Virgin Islands, and Barbados arrived here yesterday. The other country in the group, Suriname, are expected today.
This tournament was organised by the CFU to assist member associations to assess the quality of their youth boys' teams and also to assist in the preparation for the 2019 CONCACAF Under-15 Boys Championship.

A catastrophic injury is one that an individual is likely never to fully recover from. These are usually the result of serious accidents that can range from car crashes to a workplace injury as the result of unsafe machinery. Common catastrophic injuries include:
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
- Paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury
- Amputation
- Spine and spinal cord injuries
- Burns
- Disfigurement
- Electrocution
These injuries cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat and in most cases the person is never able to work again and will require special care for the rest of his or her life.

Valuable feedback
"I'm writing on behalf of all the children at Pott Shrigley Church School to say a heartfelt thank you for our new play area! We had an official opening ceremony with the Mayor of Bollington, Jon Weston, followed by a tea party just before half term to mark the occasion. The children are loving the newly acquired space and adventure it provides."
The Children of Pott Shrigley Church School
"Clarke Lambert have recently carried a fire door replacement scheme at one of our secondary schools. The work involved internal and external doors of wooden and aluminium construction, repairing and replacing frames as well as the doors themselves. The work was carried over a half-term holiday period and there were a lot of doors to replace, Clarke Lambert managed to get all the work completed to a very high standard in a short space of time. With such a large job completed in such a short time there were inevitable one or two minor faults, this is the time when you find out how good your contractor really is – I was very impressed with how quickly they responded to resolve the issues. I would happily recommend them from our experience."
Rob MacNeill – Facilities Director at The Fallibroome Trust
"We have worked with Clarke Lambert Construction for the last twenty years and have found their work to be of an excellent standard. The company is also very reliable, especially when working to tight deadlines. The scope of works that Clarke Lambert Construction have carried for Standwalk include: Carpentry Works, Cladding, Dry Lining and Plastering, Tiling, Flooring (all aspects), Roofing (all aspects), Kitchen Fitting, Toilet and Office area Refurbishments, Suspending Ceilings, Window and Door Installations, Timber Framing, Locksmith, Mechanical Engineering including: Plumbing and Heating, Ventilation and Electrical Works. Masonry, Painting and Decorating, Scaffolding, Landscaping (all aspects hard and soft), Tarmacking/Asphalting/Paving, Fencing and Security including: Door Entry Systems, Alarms and CCTV. I would not hesitate in recommending Nicholas and his team and look forward to working with them on future projects."
Jaymin Parekh – Director at Standwalk Ltd
"Clarke Lambert have completed phase 1&2 of a project at Holy Name throughout 2017, which has included an extension and internal remodelling, resulting from their competitive tenders for the work. Owner Nick Boult was present and immersed in the project from start to finish, with pre and post meetings and regular communication including progress updates, based on the project schedule. We noted that he placed emphasis on ensuring the wellbeing of his staff and others in the vacinity through well-organised site preparation and health and safety steps including resourceful temporary measures as they arose. His team brought a wide range of skills to support the work, nowadays difficult to find, and coupled this with attention to detail together with his personal high expectations for achieving top quality. Nick responded well to emerging and unexpected issues to meet agreed deadlines and ad-hoc requests from the school, sometimes by redeploying his workforce, or by sourcing tradesmen (sometimes at short notice) such as electricians and plumbers. Parents, staff, pupils, visitors and governors alike have all commented on the magnificent transformation, and particularly like the bespoke oak carpentry, new fixtures and fittings and decor to compliment the modern building design. We would recommend Clark Lambert to others because they have proven to be trustworthy, able to work to schedule and operate with attention to tidiness. Nick and his staff always attended as promised and worked very hard, and nothing was too much trouble. Help and advice was always on hand, and Nick offered honest and expert opinions based on his experience (even when not of benefit to himself) to help resolve queries. As a school, we value contractors like Clarke Lambert who are able to demonstrate that they are safe to work in schools via DBS checks and that our high standards of courtesy, politeness and appreciation for our children's' safety and learning is respected at all times."
Catherine Gordon – Head Teacher at Holy Name RC Primary School
"Clarke Lambert can only be described as an outstanding contractor with a brilliant eye for detail. Their work has literally transformed both Corpus Christi and St. Theresa's with the vast majority of work being bespoke to the needs of each school community. Their reliability is excellent and willingness to meet the requirements requested are second to none. Their communication is strong with regular updates about the progress being made. This has been particularly effective when plans have changed or additional work is added to ongoing projects. Timekeeping is a strength with deadlines always being met. I have no hesitation when endorsing the work completed by Clarke Lambert."
Chris Hanson – Head Teacher at Corpus Christi RC Primary School & St. Theresa's RC Primary School
"Clarke Lambert did a complete refit of our kitchen and bathroom, and refit of the whole heating system. We live in a 180 year old house that hadn't had any care for at least 40 years, which meant they stripped it right back to the plaster, dug out and repoured the floor, and updated all related electrics and plumbing, on top of a redesign and high quality refit of both rooms. It was a daunting project for us, but made easy by having such a skilled and solid contractor who covered everything from design and careful planning through to the day to day management of the work on each stage, and follow up afterwards to make sure we were happy with the result (we are!) Not only was the work completed to an excellent standard, they also had great design solutions for making the most of a small house. The house feels bigger, dryer, brighter, and warmer. Everything was done to such a high standard, and the process itself was made as easy as possible for us as we still lived in the house during most of the work. The whole team were really friendly and professional, and I was never left hanging wondering what was happening. When they said they'd arrive at 7am, they arrived at 7am. I received regular phone and email updates throughout the process, good communication on site, and I never felt like I was in the dark or having to chase. The whole process was closely managed with Nick's keen eye for detail and quality, and his genuine passion for transforming the space. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Clarke Lambert to anyone considering similar. Completely solid, quality, gold standard work."

Gilbert Cayetano Huesca (1915 – 2009)
Joan Joyce (Schiavon) Huesca (1928 – 1987)
If you've ever thought about writing down your family stories, don't overthink it or wait until the "time is right." Just do yourself and your descendants a favor. Get busy and start writing.
Though I have been writing this blog for a dozen years, it took me six years until I was able to write about my parents, Gilbert and Joan Huesca. By then, my mother had been gone for 25 years, and my father had been gone for three. It is not easy to write about someone you love and miss deeply, so I expected to write three or four stories at the most over a couple of weeks.
But first I struggled with all the reasons not do it. The hardest part was the sadness I felt when I sat down to write my parents' stories. When you sit down to write about someone you miss so much, you risk letting your emotions get in the way and quelching your efforts from the start. While it might be easier to sidestep the sadness by not writing about them at all, it was also healthier to work through it. Moreover, it was reassuring to think there would be a lasting record of their lives, something that could endure, even if one day my memory were to fade.

the last few years. The reading pile is teetering once again but I'm planning on reading 'Arctic Rising' sooner rather than later.
Here's what Tobias has to say for himself today...
So I have a new book out after a roughly three year gap. And it's been a weird three years. Most people might remember me from the far future space opera steampunk type mashup books I did with dreadlocked Caribbean cyborgs putting the smack down on colonialist masters. So now Tobias is doing a near future novel? Something he calls an eco-thriller? What gives?
I think in Silicon Valley it's called the art of the 'pivot.'
I really fell head over heels for the cyberpunk writers back in the mid 90s thanks to a chance discovery. It was Bruce Sterling's Islands in The Net that hit me upside the head. The first third of it was set in a near future Grenada. I grew up in Grenada. It was the first moment where I thought that maybe I could fuse my Caribbean background and experiences with my favorite genre, SF, and make a career of it.
I loved writing those first few big action books, but I've secretly always wanted to do a tech-oriented, near future piece. I've always wanted to play with what's just over the horizon, like the master authors I wanted to follow in the footsteps of while in high school.
Arctic Rising was a chance to head in a new direction and explore a near future that may be around the corner. Explore some interesting social technologies and hacks. Through the eyes of someone we don't normally see in SF adventures. Welcome to the ice-free Arctic.
I am an awful blog tour host, having no idea what the schedule is or where Tobias will appear next! I'm guessing that you should be able to get the information here... ;o)

However, during playback it doesn't do anything special with decode timings so it will stutter horribly at the transition (or take longer to open the file if it's at the start.)

Obviously only when transcoding and taking a ton of CPU though. what about, if our mov demuxer simply exports the edit lists? that way our mov muxer could store files with edit lists The code we would need to handle edit lists in an user app is pretty much the same that we would need to seek to chapters.

riaa's chief anti-piracy officer, frank creighton, says his group isn't worried about gnutella yet because the peer-to-peer file-swapping service's problems have kept it from becoming popular. gnutella's lack of a central server has let its fans and users remain fairly sure that they wouldn't be shut down any time soon, but creighton says riaa has "… a strategy, but we have yet to implement it," a situation that could change if gnutella becomes more popular. the riaa will continue to pursue opennap and other napster clones, though.
creighton lists network problems, privacy issues, and "low adoption rates" as the things keeping gnutella safe from the riaa's baleful gaze. the riaa has been following a smart and effective strategy of asking isps to block access to file-swapping programs like napster instead of trying to persecute the millions of people actually trading files and violating copyrights. while this upsets the isps, it helps the riaa quickly cut down the number of people trading files. since your ip address is exposed when you're on gnutella, you can be identified, like all the napsterites who were trading metallica and dre files were … and that means the riaa could find you and hassle your isp to give up your identity. but it's actually a lot of effort for riaa to follow that route, which is why it doesn't see the need to do that unless gnutella's popularity really explodes. a recent report from p2p consulting firm clip2 shows that only about 250,000 users logon to gnutella each day, which is why the riaa isn't targeting the service yet.
for more information, please see cnet.
sam's opinion
i haven't tried gnutella yet, but i imagine that not being seen as a threat by the riaa is a very good thing nowadays, since the riaa seems to be mopping up the opposition in the courts lately. i've heard various rumblings that gnutella isn't as easy to use as napster and that there's not as many files etc. etc., but i have a feeling that the reason only 250k people are on the service each day (if that's even a valid figure) is because there are still lots of people trading songs on napster. if napster gets shut down or is forced to implement a set of stricter blocking measures or implements a pay model, i'm sure you'll see gnutella use rise significantly, since it really does have good name recognition and since improvements are being made to the service all the time.
unfortunately, as soon as that day comes i'm sure the riaa will turn its eye on gnutella and begin its malevolent attack … i'm reminded of the descriptions in tolkien's lord of the rings where sauron's gaze from his tower in mordor travels across the land freaking out hobbits and gollum alike …
the cnet article touches on a particular defense the non-centralized services like gnutella might be able to use if they come under fire:
but there's a difference between the ability to look and the decision to do anything about it–a gap that could protect gnutella file traders until their numbers grow considerably higher.
i do wonder how that would hold up if gnutella's authors ever got dragged to court. i imagine the riaa could force the isps to give up their logs so its investigators could tell which users were "just looking" and which were actually downloading files, but since there is no central server tracking things i think it would be a pretty tough process to ferret out that information.
any of you familiar with the gnutella model know more about this?

they claim copyright violation by napster, mp3.com and their users. now they acknowledge copyright violations by gnutella and it's users. they sue the first set of individuals, but not the second. this sounds like selective copyright enforcement. i thought you can risk loosing your copyright by doing this? – by oididit�
|i wonder if… (11:22am est fri mar 30 2001)
…they're strategy is to bombard gnutella with junk/spam? or perhaps they'll start going after the gp (general public). the gnutella clients do say what ip address the files are coming from. we need some sorta secure/encrypted dns… anything in the works?
also, try bearshare. it's a very good gnutella client, and there are plenty of filez available… ) (i've heard good things about limewire as well).
the speed is getting better all the time. they still need more work on their search/filter algorythms (not so consistant right now – but that is the nature of gnutella), but it's getting there… – by god�
|bear share (1:00pm est fri mar 30 2001)
just wanted to confirm that bear share is pretty good. it's definatly a lot better than earlier gnutella clients. if you take the time to read the manual, which tells what various symbols etc mean, then you should be pleased.
granted it's not quite as fast/efficient as napster for mp3, but you can get all file types, including mpeg, avi, exe, even full applications if you have the patience. i've seen fireworks, visual cafe, adobe and lots more.
the cool thing is that there is no one to sue. no company, no president, no phones, no offices.
i doubt the riaa will ever sue the gp.

|bearshare (5:28pm est fri mar 30 2001)
this is the best gnutella client i've used and i've never had a problem getting any mp3 i want. i was downloading songs minutes after the install. to insure that you get the title you want be sure to select 4 or more of the same song and when one or two start to download abort the others. – by mp3free
|gnutella…part i (8:36pm est fri mar 30 2001)
basically, if you wanna get into gnutella i suggest 3 route… 1) limewire – i personally feel this is the best client…i'll explain why later 2) furi – completely open source if you wanna support the open source model and it's one of the best clients out there 3) bearshare – i have two reservations about this first – they bundle spyware with it second – it doesn't have the "options" that limewire & furi have (blocking certain queries to help the network, etc). bearshare is by far the easiest to use though, it basically sets it self up and does everything for you.
limewire helps more with the problems on the network and thats why i hope people will turn to it. it allows you to block freeloaders and web searches, which at the moment are the reason why you get a lot of busy signals also it group similar files together so lets say that you find a song and there is a copy somewhere else that is the same size and close to the same file name. they are placed together. you click on the "groups" title. limewire pings both servents and begins d/l'ing from the one with the lowest ping time. lets say that one is busy, it will automatically switch to the next host on the list (sometimes there are 100's on the list, so you are pretty much guarunteed to find an available host.) also lets say that a you get to 50% on that particular file it will go to one of the similar hosts with a same size file and begin from 50% not from 0% so it supports resuming (kinda). also you can throttle you bandwidth, filter our useless searches (ie: stupid people who type *.* and *.mp3 which slow the network.) personally after i started using limewire i shutdown napster for good. i have obtained close to 300 mp3's without any problems. i will admit that the average d/l speed is a little slower but it's nice that you don't have to worry about whether a file did download or not. it's almost garunteed with the grouping thing.
|gnutella part ii (8:37pm est fri mar 30 2001)
i apologize if this sounds like a huge commercial for limewire, trust me it isn't. finally the programmer of bearshare is, i believe working on encrypting the queries across the network and limewire inc is looking for ways to include meta tags in the searches. so in the end this may become the greatest alternative to napster.
i established most of this info @ dss.clip2.com in the forums. i hope this helps.
|lime wire gnutella client (10:36pm est fri mar 30 2001)
gnutella is not one source. it's a variety of communities which can interact across the digital divide if they so desire, or can remain closed client societies if they so desire.
lime wire is probably the premier gnutella client of the current crop. it has excellent functionality even to the point of allowing individuals to specify a unique initialization string which, in effect, creates a new virtual network. other clients could connect with members of this net only if they also sent the proper init string.
this ability to make closed communities for file sharing is something napster does not contemplate.
.mpg is by far the most often requested file extension, but files ending in .doc, .txt, and most other file extensions can all be shared, thereby making the gnutella peer to peer networking system a very efficient way to transfer images and data as well as those dreaded mp3 files.
this very likely is the future of file distribution among individuals and even businesses. there is, for example, no reason at all why pgp encrypted files cannot be shared over gnutella peer to peer systems.
in fact, since mp3 is a text file, each one of them could be encrypted, and sent with a different file name. that development would certainly take a lot of wind out of the riaa sails.
in order to prove piracy you first of all have to decrypt the file. it's an interesting concept, and one which i'm sure the mp3 crowd will look at carefully if riaa begins to "look" at gnutella as they say they may.
for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. riaa is not exempt from this most fundamental law of the universe. where willing minds conspire to share data, no boundaries will hold it back. this is the nature of the internet. – by linux jones
|winmx has new version (11:29pm est fri mar 30 2001)
as we are discussing alternatives to napster, winmx has just released a new version that is somewhat better than previous versions.

|static hosts…well not really.. (7:26pm est sat mar 31 2001)
istrcmpi, those "hosts" that you refer to are just cache servers… nothing else… they log ip's of people on the network… that's all. they don't provide connections via themselves to other computers, they don't link you anywhere they are just a big long list of ip's that are known to be on the network. all that happens is you ping them and they return 40 ip pongs (at least in the case of router.limewire.com), which help you connect to gnutella. gnutella worked before these cache hosts were created, and can work afterwords. technically all you needs is 1 host ip on the network to get connected. cause your ping is then ditributed through the network and you get pongs back and they are held in a personal cache for you during that session. so really after your 1st session on the gnutella net you should have a host catcher full of ip's to connect to. and last time i checked the riaa has no legal authority to shut down a server whos only purpose is to keep a database of the gnutella network pongs. – by milhouse

– by milhouse
|what is illegal about gnutella? (3:12pm est mon apr 02 2001)
everybody talks as if the music industry is going to find out that gnutella works and then try to stop it. the fact is that gnutella itself is simply a protocol like http and tcp/ip. it is downright stupid to make a protocol for exchanging information illegal.
here is a real world example. say drug dealers are driving cars and using cell phones in order to complete a transaction of a drug deal. now does it make sense to try to make cars or cell phones illegal because they were used for illegal activities? of course not.
gnutella is like giving us all a place to meet that is in common, like a social gathering. in any social gathering information can be transferred. just because there is a possibility that illegal activities may happen, the act of gathering is not illegal. also the tools that enable us to gather in groups – such as our legs, or cars, or language – are also not illegal. these tools are analogous to what gnutella is.
so, what i'm saying is some people who use gnutella are breaking the law, but gnutella itself is not. maybe what should be done is that the laws should be changed, especially if close to everybody is breaking it.
one last thought, when was the last time you saw or new somebody get busted for not wearing a safety belt, smoking weed, downloading mp3s, copying cds,…, or speeding in a car? i'm guessing that you have probably more recently seen all of these happen without intervention of the law. laws like these are real laws no matter how many people break them, and the real question becomes not should we blame people for these breaking these laws or should we break these laws that are blaming the people.

|napster/guntella hybrid (9:00am est wed apr 04 2001)
why doesn't someone come up with a scheme to use a traditional napster (s-c) arrangement for 1000s of small to meduim sized groups – as we know this works fast, but connect each group with a gnutella (p-p) arangement.
as such, users connect to their local napster server (or maybe one in mongolia) and queries for a file can span the p2p links connecting each napster server. this can be cached for the next query if needed.
the advantage is that, the net relies on no one server, it would be fast because it uses the traditional server-client file index model and less popular files will still be available accross the p2p connection.
ssl could be used on all segments to protect ips and traffic, and the server software can be surrepticiously upped to any university system, for example until taken down.
in the longer term, each server that pops up can autoregister with a dns (type) server to which users refer on startup. the dns can't legally be taken down because it carries neither files, nor the location of where the files are stored.

some of you have speculated (very far fetched) about the riaa bringing lawsuits against individuals who share mp3 files. to be successful in a lawsuit it must be proven that the defendant has done something wrong or illegal.
i don't see where anything illegal is being done by sharing mp3 files.
sure, if i am getting them or purchasing them "under the table" from some entity then piracy is probably taking place.
but to freely share mp3 files with other people is really not any different then sharing cd's with my friends.
example – let's say i ask a co-worker to bring in his "spin doctors" cd so that i can make a cassette copy of "little miss can't be wrong" for my own personal use and enjoyment. there is nothing illegal about that. so what's the difference if (through the internet) i ask joe blow in tulsa, oklahoma to allow me to copy "little miss can't be wrong" from his "spin doctors" collection for my own personal use and enjoyment.

|riaa stratagy 4 shutdown. (2:04am est wed apr 18 2001)
i use limewire to share and download various types of documents, pics, and occasionally an mp3. nothing wrong with sharing files, piracy is the issue. if i sign on to limewire and start 2 searches, one for a new song and one for a windows 2000 document the latter brings more results. so why would the riaa want to stop all filesharing progs.killing a fly with a machine gun might be a more clever (and graceful)move. for that matter why would the all isp's (including backwoods bobs local service red.neck.net in hicville nowhere) want to participate in such a block essentialy removing a motivating force behind big$ 4 higher bandwidth.
such a ban would require a federal law to implement and would be a major step towards killing user interest the internet. i mean what next? no more ftp?
browsers that report suspicious activity?
i will always be able to freely exchange files whenever i wish, wherever i wish, and in any one of hundreds of ways to format and transfer data. but the day censorship renders the p2p file transfer "impossible" it shall truly be a dark day for the lay user.

|c/r (9:44am est wed oct 17 2001)
the riaa are legally correct and they have the resources to enforce these. once the ball starts rolling and legal precedents are set, people are not going to be able to shift to new software or servers so quickly. new services will probably not get off the ground for fear of being caught.
it is entirely possible for the internet, and even peer to peer activity to be regulated, because there are many points at which user activity can be monitored and controlled.
the legality to bust napster and everyone else, was established over 4 years ago, in the 1996 international treaties – wipo copyright treaty, and the wipo performers and phonograms treaty. the current legal activity may seem like a testing ground, but the outcome is assured. the result will almost certainly apply equally to the uk, us, and every other member state of those international treaties.
in regards to some previous comments:
1) to �oididit��, choosing to sue one person over another, does not waive the right to sue, but ensure that the judicial system is used effectively.
2) to 'greg'- sharing files peer to peer is not a private activity, because the legal definition of public use is: making works available for individuals to access those works at a time a place chosen by them.
you are correct in saying that your use is private.. in fact that is partly why the riaa cannot go after people who download music. the offence is really putting the music on the internet, not downloading it – but there wont be anything left to download if all the uploading is prevented.
3) to 'petrovska� napster was primarily nailed by the riaa because napster was targeted at music, and riaa have vested interests.
this does not mean that it was only nailed because its bad to copy music, but ok to copy anything else. copyright exists for software, images, etc. the precedent set by napster will apply to every other peer to peer program. – by partypooper

Accounting software company enters financial services
An accounting software provider has announced several integration agreements with financial services providers, enabling access to financial products through its software for which it will receive commissions.
Xero last week said that subscribers in Australia will now be able to access exclusive features and pricing from preferred financial services providers though Xero's open API.
"By securely connecting their accounting platform to the preferred providers, Xero customers can receive same-day loan approvals and access simpler international payments from the providers at the click of a button, potentially saving thousands of dollars each year," Xero said in a statement.
"Coming soon will be the ability for Xero accountants to get more automated insurance estimates," the statement continued.
NAB was revealed as one preferred provider, with Xero and NAB customers to soon be able to make enquiries for new business loans from within the accounting dashboard. Moula and OzForex are also preferred partners, while CGU Insurance will soon join the list.
Speaking to SMSF Adviser's sister publication AccountantsDaily, Chris Ridd, Xero Australia's managing director, insisted the software provider does not want to act as a broker. Xero has been very careful to ensure they do not make any "product recommendations", meaning Xero will not require an AFSL, he said.
"What we are simply doing is creating the rails for those providers to be able to get faster and seamless access to data, with the customer in full control," he said.
However, Mr Ridd admitted the company will vet financial services providers and decide who can and who cannot connect with Xero customers through the software. This, he said, does not mean those approved will form a de facto approved product list.
"We have done detailed analysis on this and the workflow really does safeguard us from being perceived as recommending those products," insisted Mr Ridd.
"It's all in how we have actually [designed] it, but it is definitely something we have considered. We don't want to be in the role of a broker as such because we don't want the requirement of having an AFSL."
Despite this, Mr Ridd said Xero will collect commission payments from financial services providers that connect with clients through the company's platform.
"As we start to open up financial services, whether it be NAB, Moula, CGU or OzForex, there is a transaction or a commission fee as part of the customer then signing up for that service.
"This is about us using the data in Xero to actually monetise," Mr Ridd said.

The Arc of Dauphin County is a 501(c)3 non-profit grassroots organization founded in 1953 by a group of parents wanting a better life for their loved ones with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The organization began at a time when children with intellectual disabilities were typically sent to live in state facilities, away from their families. The parents that founded The Arc of Dauphin County wanted to keep their children at home and advocated for their education.
As services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities have progressed over time, The Arc has adapted its programs and activities to meet the changing needs of the consumers and their families as well as reacting to the availability of funding and the federal and state governments' objectives. One example of a change impacting the organization is the movement from segregated services to the push for true community integration. Furthermore, as the pace of change affecting societal views of individuals with disabilities increases, The Arc must continue to be a strong voice and advocate for those served by the organization. Our goal is to be a proactive, nimble organization, delivering high quality services and building a supportive community, which will expand the opportunities for individuals with special needs. As a not for profit organization, all dollars received go exclusively to mission fulfillment.

Kevin reported the weather to be very pleasant, ranging between 10 and 13 degrees, and ideal conditions for running, sunny, with very little wind to speak of, very much a contrast to what
we were facing in the North East,
torrential rain, and several areas in the region flooded.

Mountains provide early warning of climate change
Mountainous regions are the birthplace of the globe's largest rivers. Their reputation as global water towers is well deserved, as 40% of the world's population rely indirectly on mountain resources for drinking water, irrigation, and hydroelectricity. Their ecosystems are among the most sensitive to climate change and are being affected at a faster rate than other terrestrial habitats, which could have severe consequences for water provision and livelihoods in downstream regions. Designing specific adaptation strategies and policies for the globe's mountainous regions is therefore vital to a sustainable future. UNESCO is presenting a new Policy Brief to that effect during the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP20), as well as an exhibition which uses satellite images to show the impacts of climate change on various mountain regions of the world.
Mountains are home to 1.2 billion people, and provide a multitude of ecosystem goods and services not just to mountain peoples but to those living downstream. Water is the most critical ecosystem service that mountains provide. Because rates of precipitation are higher in mountains and they store both ice and snow, mountain areas are the sources of the world's major rivers and are also origins of groundwater. The ten largest rivers originating in the Hindu Kush Himalayas alone supply water to over 1.35 billion people.
They are also unique centres of biodiversity, and provide food, timber, and genetic resources of great pharmaceutical and agricultural importance. They have great cultural value, and are centres of recreation and tourism.
Healthy functioning mountain ecosystems regulate climate, air quality, and water flow, while contributing to protection against natural hazards such as floods, droughts, and major storms. These services are especially critical to downstream areas, where the effects of such events are often most intensively experienced, sometimes several hundreds of kilometres away.
Climate impacts constitute a significant threat to these services and the populations depending on them. Despite their great ecological and socio-economic value, there has been relatively little research with an explicit focus on mountain ecosystem services. Strengthening research and assessing vulnerability is among the first recommendations of the new policy brief, entitled Our global water towers: ensuring ecosystem services from mountains under climate change, which was launched officially on 2 December 2014 in Lima.
© CNES 2010. Encompassing majestic snowcapped peaks of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas, the Sagarmatha National Park World Heritage Site is dominated by Mount Everest (8,848 m).
The policy brief aims to provide decision makers with the sound scientific basis needed to facilitate decision making and effective policies to address the impacts of climate change. A key approach is ecosystem-based adaptation to anticipated climate change. This can be supported through payment for ecosystem services: incentives offered to communities or land managers to manage their land to provide specific services, possibly as part of offset schemes.
The policy brief is the result of regional workshops organized last year to gather inputs from Africa, Asia and Latin America, through which research needs and vulnerabilities were identified, as well as best practices highlighting community adaptation initiatives for each region.
The exhibition 'Climate change impacts on mountain regions of the world' demonstrates that mountains, with many glaciers retreating under the influence of rising temperatures, are key indicators of climate change. Using satellite images, the panels highlight the critical functions of mountains, and the implications of climate change for mountain ecosystems, water resources and livelihoods. It is being presented to the public by UNESCO's International Hydrological Programme (IHP) and its Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB), with the support of the UNESCO Office in Lima, until 13 December 2014.

Falkenbach - Heralding - The Fireblade review
|Heralding - The Fireblade
|Release date:
|November 2005
01. Heathen Foray
02. ...Of Forests Unknown...
03. Hávamál
04. Roman Land
05. Heralder
06. Læknishendr
07. Walkiesjar
08. Skirnir
09. Gjallar [bonus]
This is quite impressive I must say, I wasn't expecting such a varied album with so many elements to grab. Heralding The Fireblade is an awesome album with opposite songs distributed all over the place, they share in common one thing, the epic feel that only Falkenbach can give to them. This record includes all the elements you loved from the previous 3 albums from Falkenbach, acoustic guitars, moody keyboards, clean singing, group chanting, blackened screams, rapid riffing, etc.
The album starts with an excellent choice, "Heathen Foray" is an awesome song that features a play of chants so wonderful that I was completely astonished the first time I heard how the voices intertwined. But not everything is Epic and tranquil, when we arrive at track two "Of Forests Unknown" things take a U-turn, with some old-fashioned high-speed Black Metal song, next is the beautiful "Havamal" the Viking ballad of the album, if there's anything such as a Viking ballad.
The rest of the album continues exploring both sides of the coin, rhythmic segments countered by aggressive parts, both sections united by Folk and epic passages, it's bipolar, it's varied, it's Viking Metal at its best.
The whole album is about moods, in one section you're heading to the battle in your vessel, in the other you're at the campfire listening the tales from the bards. In one section you're struggling to defeat a skilled swordsman that has crossed your way, in the other your watching how the sun sets in the mountains.
Varied is the word, aggressive yet soothing, epic yet simple, grandiose yet not pretentious, this is by far the best album Falkenbach has released in their career.

Impressive gains by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in heavily handicapped elections to parliament and a religious body are evidence of an isolated nation eager to move from theocracy to a more open democracy, but few expect a sudden shift in power.Centrists and reformers not only bounced back in a parliament under hard-line control since 2004, but won a stunning 15 out of the 16 Tehran seats in the 88-member Assembly of Experts, which selects Iran's supreme leader.An unofficial tally by Reuters of first round results for the 290-member Majlis (parliament) show conservatives won about 112 seats, reformers and centrists 90 and independents and religious minorities 29 .These contests could shape the future of the next generation in Iran, where nearly 60 percent of the 80 million population is under 30 and anxious to reintegrate into the international community and return to world markets following last year's nuclear deal and the lifting of most of the punitive sanctions.Larijani, a former nuclear negotiator who engineered parliament's support for the deal, won re-election in second place in the Shiite holy city of Qom. He could retain the influential chair in return for backing Rouhani's economic reforms.

Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board, in a bid to upgrade its domestic events and improve financial benefits for players, has decided to award 50 percent of their international match fees to all the centrally contracted players who appear in domestic matches.
According to PCB officials, the domestic cricket committee has also recommended a 100 percent hike in match fees for all players who are not centrally contracted to the board.
"The recommendations of the committee were approved by the Board of Governors at its last meeting in Lahore which also gave approval for having at least 10 matches of the first class Quaid-e-Azam Trophy under lights," he said.
"The purpose of having 10 matches including the semi-finals and final of the premier first class competition under lights is to allow players to get used to playing with the pink ball and also to the concept of day and night first class matches," the official added.
Another official said the decision to have 10 day and night first class matches had come since Pakistan is due to play two day and night Tests against West Indies and Australia this year.
Pakistan was among the first cricket playing nations to experiment with the orange and pink balls and has thrice held the finals of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy under lights.
The official said it had also been decided to use quality kookaburra and duke balls in domestic cricket.
He said for some time now it had been felt that players in domestic cricket were not getting enough financial incentives.
"So in order to make domestic cricket more rewarding for the contracted players they will be paid 50 percent of the match fees they get for international cricket whenever they appear in domestic matches. For four day games they will get 50 percent of their test fees, for ODIs 50 percent fees of ODIs and similarly for T20 matches."
The official said other players will be given a 100 percent increase in match fees.
Presently domestic players who play for regional teams get between 10,000 and 25,000 Pakistani rupees per match.

1h, 2h, 3h....up to 12h
Possible Solutions
There is no error - the Delay Wash is activated
When the display shows a number up to 12, followed by an "h", it means that the Delay Wash has been activated. Most front load washers can be set to delay the wash for up to 8 or 12 hours (depending on your model).
To set the Delay Wash, turn on the power, then tap the "+" or "-" button near the display. See picture below for an example - location may vary depending on model.
Tap the +/- button to increase/decrease the time for the delay in 1 hour increments. Some models have up to an 8 hour delay, others up to 12 hours. Once set to the preferred delay time, press the start button. The display time will decrease every hour until it reaches "0h", and the washer will start at that time. The Delay Wash light will remain on until the washer starts.
To turn off the Delay Wash once it has been set, turn the power button off.
For other question on using the Delay Wash feature, see your Use and Care Guide.
If you would like to download or view product literature for your appliance, please visit our Manuals and Literature page.

- GMAC is now National General Insurance
- They offer some great perks for their clients as part of their SmartService program
- They went through a rough period of time but are back on their feet
GMAC Car Insurance is unique in the sense that it is the only auto insurance plan offered by a car manufacturer.
Founded in 1939 and formerly known as Motors Insurance Corporation, GMAC Auto Insurance is one of the biggest property and casualty insurance providers in the United States.
In July 2013, GMAC changed its name to National General.
Throughout the years, the company has become popular because of its auto industry background as well as its knowledge of the needs of automobile owners all across the country.
A few years ago, the company announced the sale of its other insurance divisions. Officers of GMAC Insurance claimed that the company would start to concentrate on providing only auto insurance services.
Continue reading through this review and then use our free tool for comparing car insurance companies to get free car insurance quotes online!
Why Choose National General Car Insurance?
The availability of SmartServices is what sets apart National General from its competitors. It is not surprising that a lot of people are attracted to the company's car insurance plans because of the convenience that this service program provides. SmartServices offer the following:
- SmartAssist – An optional towing membership that is available to all plan holders nationwide.
- SmartInspect – A program geared toward ensuring that a plan holder's vehicle is in tiptop shape after undergoing repairs.
- SmartValet – A service in which the company not only picks up the plan holder's damaged vehicle but also provides for a rental car after the plan holder makes a claim. After your car has been repaired, the company will deliver it to you and take back the rented vehicle.
- SmartReplacement – A service where National General will replace your car in case of a total wreck or loss. What's more, the company will also go the extra mile to help you easily find a new vehicle of your choice.
Aside from the SmartServices, the benefits you will get from the National General auto insurance company also include:
- One-day claims reporting
- Guaranteed claims service satisfaction
- Emergency expense allowance in case the plan holder has been stranded
- Flexible payment options so clients will not find it difficult to budget their car insurance expenses
Many National General branches have an excellent rating with the Better Bussiness Bureau.

What Makes Clients Think Twice about National General?
At first glance, National General Insurance seems flawless. With the many perks and guaranteed claims satisfaction, there is nothing more that a client can ask for from an auto insurance provider.
But even if National General can be considered as a reliable car insurance provider, it is far from perfect.
For one, some clients are complaining about the company's slow claims processing. True, plan holders can get $250 if they were not 100 percent satisfied with their claims processing. But the time that can be wasted because of slow processing cannot be taken lightly.
National General used to consistently receive A-minus status from the rating agency AM Best, was downgraded to triple B in 2009 because of the uncertainties surrounding the car and insurance industry.
After regrouping, changing their name and getting on solid footing again, their rating has been reestablished as A-.
The Cost of National General Car Insurance
To know for sure how much you need to pay for National General auto coverage, it is important that you compare car insurance quotes online.
Just like with all the other insurance providers, the rate of a car insurance plan varies due to several factors, which include the client's driving history and credit rating.
However, if you decide to transfer from one car to National General, you will be given a discount of $382 per year.
Before you buy a product or sign up for auto coverage, it is important that you spend some time comparing different auto insurance services and quotes offered by different providers.
You need to familiarize yourself not only with the benefits but also the drawbacks of the car insurance company and policy that you plan to get.
