Lessons learned from Irma Rescue channels on Zello.
From monitoring many Zello emergency rescue accounts, I have learned that this could be a great tool for the future for people in disaster situation (If they have Internet capability)
I thought I would share a prep list for those Whom desire to assist their fellow man in tumultuous times.
Zello has provided a service that allows one to talk to a group or privately (Even encrypted) with Whom they like to. In Harvey, it was used for those Whom needed help or rescue when their primary Civil Support services were not available.
In disaster, you do not know what kind of communications you will have. Cell towers, main line phone lines, cable service, Internet, Satellite communications, and even 911 could fail to be available. It could leave one with only CB and HAM operators to rely upon.
During and after these storms, many were without such ability and the Interet was the only way to communicate. Hence Zello filled the void. For may, they just wanted to chat with others to not feel so alone. For some, it was the only lifesaving tool they had.
Some ISP Providers like Spectrum and Xfinity did, to the best of their ability, provide emergency free Internet service where they could. Kudos to you for that.
Having introduced the context, I wanted to present you with a Prep list that presents you with an avenue on how you may contribute, and how to keep out of trouble with the Internet of things.
1.First mission is information flow. Inform and coordinate with Local, State, and Federal Authorities prior to sending someone into any situation – if at all possible. For dispatchers, phone is the finest weapon you have.
As a Civilian, you are merely and augmentation service or force. The State and Local Officials are your primary support group. In cases they are over-loaded, they may ask one of your groups for help but that rarely, if ever, happens. It is question of Liability few Government officials will want to address in the fog of a real event.
Duplicate calls, duplicate rescues, and mass confusion can lead to life threatening situations if the channels are repetitive. I learned some of what I tell you here from the Cajun Navy as they have been at this awhile. They have tried to provide an example of Private Civil Augmentation.
You have to be "Trusted" to talk on their network channels which means, you fill out the form to volunteer. After which, you get passwords. Being a Non-Profit, they would like to maintain their 5013C status. This means accountability must be up-held. In fact, your information has to be cleared through the Department of Homeland Security.
2. Verification. I observed several possible pranks or traps coming over channel. Once you verify it is an actual person in an actual flooded area that does not intend to rob you or worse. There are always a few bad faith calls.
Which leads us to
3. Privatization of service. This is set by Infrastructure Categories.
4. Channel control. You will want separate channels for functioning separation of information. Many rescue groups have a main chat room where everything is handled. This is not Kosher. All the jackals and jokers come about in an Emergency situation not recognizing that If you do interfere with a rescue, you may be sent to Prison.
You never have enough dispatchers
Take your calls separate from the room with friend request to verify and if they are pranking, kick them out of the room
Have separate, encrypted channels for private information.
Never let people know where supplies, water, food, or gas is going over public channels. This is how you get raided. Also Coordinate with local Authority when shipping such things.
Try to moderate your volume to %80 percent. Some calls you can barely hear, some will wake everyone up in your neighborhood.
Keep weather checks and regular info on other channels than your work channels. Anything you can get from weather channel or AM radio in your car. This information may be useful on the ground for rescuers, but it is of no use for a rescue channel when people are asking for a weather check every 3 minutes.
Keep the channels clear. Block and report abuse. Separate the chatter. Gotta keep them separated.
5. For those on the ground who need verbal communication, the following resources are available Dispatchers:
Gas Buddy
Google maps
Apple maps
wink news
ventusky maps
Local power company outage maps
Animal Control
Animal rescue shelters
Shelter apps – Local shelters, Evacuation shelters that allow pets. They are Our Family too. Check shot records too.
HAM Radio
CB Radio
Mesh networks
Morse code
White flags on roof-tops of houses
Local nuclear plant data sites
Local water treatment plants
local chemical company plants
Local food market corporate sites (Distro – disribution info if they post it)
Uhaul, storage, UPS, FEDEX, Pipelines, Railroad, Greyhound, Hubs. Airports, Ports and Port Authority, CoastGuard, National Guatd, Attourney generals office, Governors Office,
6. As a moderator. seeking clarity of information is the key. You can be the straw that stirs the drink, or the one that breaks the chain. Some operators having stress have time and need to blow off steam with their fellows. So, when OPTEMPO slows down, let them know each-other and chat. But if emergency comes about it is "BREAK – Clear Channel".
Give them ten seconds to speak and block them. Yet be cautious, few may be real, but they can go to one of the main popular rooms to ask.
7. Access: HUBS. You are looking for a way to somewhere, and always looking for a direct path at expense.
But what if you were traveling somewhere and got stuck at the airport? You ask where the nearest HUB is to get you closer to destination. Sometimes, flying (Or driving, or via Train or rickshaw or whatever) is better than waiting in airports. Buses and trains, private planes, Mariner charter, Cruise Ships! Support them too! Any logistic line is safe haven.
Buses, Trains, Uber, Lyft, Airbnb could find a place a block away. Do not discount Local Militias.
If you are Legit, someone needs to perk an ear up. But if you clog LOGISTIC Trains or get in the way of even the Local Sheriff, you are in the wrong unless you can stress test your case.
7. Record what you do. You can take screen shots and pictures. If you called 911, you are going to want to remember when. Sometimes calls go UN-answered so you will want to be able to show something.
8. Sheltering. They will not be checking immigration status at shelter but they may check for warrants, naturally. They will also want to know if your pets have been vaccinated.
9. Be creative. Does someone attached to machines need to be evacuated when the power goes out? Or could you just bring them a generator.
The Elderly could require a range of specialized equipment. Sometimes contacting the manufacturer helps to get equipment where it needs to go.
Baby formula, diapers, and dog food always run low in these events and as always – Fuel.
Also, listen to Frefal! http://ferfal.blogspot.com/2017/09/reply-7-things-i-learned-from-hurricane.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SurvivingInArgentina+%28SURVIVING+IN+ARGENTINA%29
Would like to work for Trello someday.

Were back!! Todays Washi Week craft had us squealing the whole time we made it. It is probably the cutest craft we are making this week, and it is SO simple that a 5-year-old could make it. Plus, it is very noticeable so you will definitely get complements! The best part? Everybody has light switches in their house, so if you are into washi tape, you already have everything you need! Let's get started!
All you need is:
A light switch cover, 1-4 coordinating washi tapes, scissors, rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover, cotton balls or tissue, and mod podge or clear nail polish (optional for sealing)
First, gently clean your light switch cover with the alcohol or polish remover. This will remove all oils and dirt from the switch cover so the tape will stick. You definitely want to clean your cover first since it is touched often and may be dirty, which will cause the tape to peel up. Decide the order you want the washis to go in, and begin to lay them out in the order you choose. You can put them vertically, horizontally, or slanted, it all depends on you! We thought they'd look adorable slanted (Hint hint! We weren't wrong 😀 ). Once the whole light switch cover has tape, cut the edging leaving about 1/4 inch. Lay the excess over the inside edge so its smooth. Next, use your scissors to make an X shaped slit in the whole were the switch goes through, and lay the flaps inside the cover so its smooth. Then poke a small whole in the gaps where the screws go in. Lastly, coat with a layer of mod podge or clear nail polish to seal the tape in. Put that baby on the wall, replace the screws, and you're done!!!
Seriously, how adorable are these scissors!?!?Flashback to yesterdays washi tape manicure post!
That's it!! So easy right?! We love washi tape light switch covers. This one is in the girls bedroom and the colors match the decor! Suuuuuuuper cute 😀 Your house guests will be sure to comment on them, and it will make you smile every time you turn on the light! Just a little something to help brighten your day!
Do you have any washi tape decor ideas? Any tips and tricks about the washi-world you'd like to share? We'd love to know! Give us a shout and let us know in the comments below!

Marvel's Phase Two came to a close with a bang or a whimper, depending upon what you thought of Peyton Reed's "Ant-Man" film. Finishing up its run with $519 million worldwide from a $130 million budget, the fairly quick announcement of the sequel "Ant-Man and the Wasp" came as little surprise.
Original "Ant-Man" writers Paul Rudd and Adam McKay are back to work on the script, joined this time by returning on-set production writers Gabriel Ferrari and Andrew Barrer. McKay, who has been out talking up awards chances for his Oscar-nominated drama "The Big Short," was asked by IGN this week about the chances of a solo movie featuring Evangeline Lily's The Wasp. McKay says it's a possibility:
"Possibly. I think it all depends on this sequel and how the character plays. Certainly there's a lot of female superheroes in the Marvel universe so I'm sure you're going to see them start to spread out. They sort of started with their kind of bedrock characters from the 60s and the 70s and I think you saw more of an explosion of female characters happening in the 80s and then the 90s.
X-Men obviously has great female characters, but that'd be interesting, a Wasp movie. I don't know, that'd be very interesting. I always think of the two of them as kind of together – they always were in the comics – but why not. Sure."
McKay's involvement in the screenplay this time is expected to be less, the filmmaker helping the other three breaking the story and then stepping back and letting them go off and write the script together without him. Asked about how much he'll be involved in the sequel, he says:
"I don't know what my involvement's going to be yet. I've been talking to Peyton Reed and to Paul Rudd, but you know Marvel has a process that they do so they may have other writers working on a script – the only thing I tell 'em is 'If you need me, I'm here.' I love working on those – it's really fun. It was also very fun just writing. And fortunately we had a great director in Peyton Reed so we wrote all this crazy stuff and then he did it really well. I was like 'I could get used to this!' It's certainly a lot easier – I just showed up at the premiere and was like 'Good job!'"
Would McKay ever direct a superhero movie? He says he'd definitely be up for it, but not just yet:
"I would. I would direct one down the line. I'd also like to create my own superhero too. There's a lot of great Marvel characters but I always think of The Matrix really as a comic book movie where they created an original comic book, and I would love to do something like that."
"Ant-Man and the Wasp" is currently slated for release on July 6th 2018.

Say I consider a set theory with the Axioms of Extensionality and the Axiom of Pairing.
As I understand it, stating the axiom allows me to make a definition like
and work with that $(a,b)$ in the context of my theory. Pairing says "it exists" (I can write it down with my language) and Extensionality says the abstract idea of it is unique as a set.
Is that way of thinking correct? Is that the purpose?
Because (if I know $a$ and $b$ exists and since I know what set brackets are) in a way I feel the set $\{\{a\},\{a,b\}\}$ existed already before the existence of a pair was guaranteed by the axiom - the possibility of nesting of sets as for the definition seems to be apriori to me, I asked a related question here.
Secondly, since there are more set-constructions of the ordered pair, like say
as an alternative, I wonder:
Am I allowed to realize the ordered pair twice in one theory?
Then I could for example put ordered pairs as elements of ordered pairs of the second type and so on.
Is there really only one realization of the ordered pair in say ZFC or are there in fact all thinkable versions in the theory and we just choose one if we prove stuff about the abstract thing (which implies that the statements are true for all models)?
Or another idea: Should I view the whole thing in a way that I only define the thing using a concrete relization so that I can prove stuff about the "actual" abstract object, which is really only implicitly postulated to exist in the axiom. If that point of view ist true then I don't really see what the real difference of two realizations can be.

|Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 One Step Cleanser
I have been all about the skincare this month! And I am always excited to share with you guys products that will change your skin. Today, I have the Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 One Step Cleanser. This retails for $19.50 (6.7 fl oz) and is available online and in-store at Ulta, and the Vichy Website.
I switched to an oil cleanser years ago, but for most people, they need a good everyday cleanser that won't dry out the face, will leave their skin feeling healthy, hydrated, and clean! So how did this one do?
Let's get in to the review!
Vichy claims:
"This one-step cleanser acts as a cleansing milk, a toning lotion and an eye make-up remover... Captelae, a shea plant extract... remove(s) impurities from the skin. With Vichy Thermal Water, clinically proven to soothe and fortify skin. Also with vitamin B5 for its moisturizing properties. Lightweight non-greasy fluid. No rinsing required...Face, eyes and lips are perfectly cleansed in one simple step. Leaves skin feeling soft and supple."
Vichy also claims this product is your cleansing milk, toner, and eye makeup remover all in one and is perfect for all skin types including sensitive skin.
This cleanser comes in a standard plastic squeeze tube. Perfect for travel and storage, nothing bulky or heavy.
The cleanser is a creamy white lotion consistency. Very smooth and easy to apply to the skin. The consistency isn't too thin where you can't get a lather, but not thick where it's difficult to work into the skin. It feels soft to the touch and just feels luxurious. However, it does have added fragrance, and has a rose scent.
|Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 One Step Cleanser
As a facial cleanser.
First, I apply about a nickel sized amount onto my hand. Then starting with my cheeks, I make circular motions and blend the cleanser into my skin to remove the dirt and oil on my face. For me, having oily and acne prone skin, this did not bother or irritate my face or cause excess redness. The result actually left my face feeling very moisturized and refreshed.
If you're going to use this to remove makeup, I do suggest double cleansing. By that I mean, washing your face once to remove the makeup, and then washing it again to really cleanse the face.
As for removing eye makeup.
I took another nickel sized amount onto my hands and used circular motions to remove the makeup around my eyes. It did remove my water resistant mascara very well, leaving very little traces of makeup behind. My eyes felt very moisturized and hydrated after using this cleanser.
As there is no added acne preventing ingredients, so I do not recommend it for those who need a cleanser to help treat or prevent acne.
If you have normal to dry skin, I think you will love this cleanser! It cleanses the skin without drying it out and leaves your skin feeling more hydrated than before you washed it!
For those looking for anti-aging benefits, you won't find any wrinkle reducing or age/sun spot reducing properties here. Just hydrating and moisturizing.
Now because of the added fragrance to this cleanser. If you know your skin is sensitive to fragrance, I do not recommend trying this. It may cause irritation.
Overall, this cleanser is comfortable to use and easy to apply. The formula leaves the skin feeling moisturized and healthy. If you wear light makeup and just need a one step cleanser to remove the makeup and wash your face, this is a great option! I think this cleanser is suitable for most normal to dry skin types. Those with acne prone or oily skin probably won't see any skin benefits with this one, nor will those with fragrance sensitive skin. Perfect as a one step cleanser for those looking for more hydration. The only negative is the added fragrance, remove that and it would be a great cleanser for every skin type.
Disclaimer: I did receive this product as gratis for working at Ulta, this never affects my opinions or thoughts about the product.

These Kindhearted Bikers Will Make You CryPrint
Bikers get a pretty bad reputation. Up until recently, Americans have associated bikers with chains, leather, and tattoos for years. Some even believe that nearly all motorcyclists are a part of violent biker gangs. That is a far cry from the truth. More often than not, bikers are completely normal people -- and some will even shock you with the extent of their kindhearted gestures.
Why Did Bikers Visit An 11 Year Old Boy With Cancer?
Gage Driskell, 11, continues his battle against cancer. According to his father, the young boy has several tumors in his brain and along his spine. What does this have to do with bikers and motorcycles? "Gage's birthday wish was to go on a motorcycle ride. Little did he know, dozens of bikers would show up to support him, and make his dream come true," KVTB reports. Not one but dozens of bikers rode up to Gage, signed a leather biker vest for him, and ultimately gave him a ride to Pojo's, a family fun center, to continue celebrating his birthday.
Should Bikers Watch Their Own Backs First?
As well-meaning as these bikers undoubtedly were, motorcycle accessories stores and motorcycle parts distributors warn that motorcyclists, before thinking about anything or anyone else, should think about their safety first. Remember, 19 states require helmets on motorcycles at all times, and another 28 states have partial helmet laws. Protective equipment, like helmets, can significantly reduce the likelihood of serious injury, road rash, and even death.
Motorcycle riding safety tips -- or motorcycle safety tips for drivers -- are no joke. Motorcycle accessories stores recommend putting safety first and always wearing proper protective equipment.

Some choice tidbits:
The S&P 500, adjusted for inflation, is at its highest level ever, save for the 1995-2007 period. By contrast, at the market bottom in 1974, the S&P, adjusted for inflation, was lower than it was in 1906. In 1974, the market cap of all stocks was 31% of GDP versus 100% now, and the Dow yielded 6% and was at a marked discount to book value.
The 1974 rally, while powerful, ended in 1976. Stocks resumed their fall and hit their inflation adjusted low in 1982.
The Dow chart above makes some of the same points.
Faber concedes an equity rally is still possible, which he thinks would lead to a reversal in gold, which he argues would make for a buying opportunity. In general he prefers the risk/reward ratio in commodities to that of stocks. He also recommends selective buying of Asian equities, with the caveat that prices could fall further in 2009.
(Article continues below)
From his conclusion:
I am far from certain that US equities, which have declined by about 50% from their highs, are such a a bargain. Valuations are far from where they werea at major market lows such as in 1932, 1974, and 1982. Moreover, economic conditions may turn out to be far worse than in previous recessions, including the Great Depression at the beginning of the 1930s. Everybody seems to think that, thanks to the government's monetary and fiscal interventions, this recession will come nowhere near the 1930s slump. However, I think it might be far worse – and precisely because of the interventions.

Zombie is an undead/zombie-type enemy in Final Fantasy XII. It can be found in the Barheim Passage when the Battery Mimics have sufficiently depleted the electrical power, in the Tomb of Raithwall, and in the Stilshrine of Miriam if the player examines the Pedestal of the Dawn without equipping the Dawn Shard. Zombie is the only enemy that displays sexual dimorphism.

Page 1: ObservationsEdit
Being a corpse exhumed, bound by foul magicks, and enslaved. The corruption of the flesh is advanced, its stench both rank and cloying withal. As exposure to the sun's rays speeds this decay, they are oft conditioned for nocturnal activity. Perhaps due to this, they seem to shun even the lesser light of candles.

Like shown in the video the accelerator block can be used to speed other things up. But what's special about it is that it has physics which means that you can build inventions with it. You can place it wherever you want to (not like the conveyor-belt, which can only be placed on the floor).
The accelerator is the first block in a series of blocks that will allow you to create more dynamic things. Until now you could build different structures but everything in the game was more or less static. Furthermore, the next block that will find its way into the game will add a lot more possibilities what you can do with the accelerator and will allow you to build more complex machines which, of course, can also be used to defeat your enemy in multiplayer battles.
As the code restructuring is finished now (read the last post), I hope it won't be so long until the next update.
That's all for now, tell me what you think about this update :)

StayLocal presents Shopkeeper Stories: Taking Technology Support to Another Level with Rent-A-Nerd, Inc.
Rent-A-Nerd, Inc. founded in 1997, provides efficient, proactive, and honest IT services to businesses in the Greater New Orleans area. With a highly skilled and certified team of technicians, they are able to perform services both in-store, onsite, and even remotely. They are your IT staff without the overhead!
Shopkeeper: Darrin and Charlotte Piotrowski
Shop: Rent-A-Nerd, Inc.
Since: 1997
What ignited the spark in you to start your business?
Darrin: In the mid-90's I was working for PC Warehouse, which sold custom built computers. When the computers needed to be serviced, people had to lug in these big, huge computers because the company didn't provide on-site service.
After bouncing around a few other jobs and juggling a couple of side projects, I decided to start my own business. During this time, a lot of businesses were getting their first computers. Windows 95 had just come out, people were using the internet more frequently, and technology was becoming more easily accessible. I saw the market need, so I began putting signs up for on-site service and support to help people with their new computers.
Since our founding in 1997, we have had the pleasure of helping over 10,000 computer users across Greater New Orleans.
Charlotte: I got started with Rent-A-Nerd after Darrin completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program at Delgado Community College in 2013. During that time, I would help him with homework and became familiar with his objectives. Over time, I realized that there was a place for me at Rent-A-Nerd, so I now handle marketing.
What makes New Orleans Businesses so special?
Charlotte: New Orleans is a neat place for work because so many businesses are locally-owned. I think it's really special to work with the owners who live, work, and invest here.
I believe New Orleans business owners want to support one another as opposed to pulling in someone from a big, national firm; they want someone local because we have so much talent in New Orleans.
Darrin: Local business owners bring a unique flare. Even if they are selling a national product, local businesses offer personal experience and cultural knowledge. The laptops we sell are products we use and have invested in. Local businesses also look at the needs of our community and find products we trust to meet those needs—whether it's technology, clothing, or beauty products.
Who are your typical customers?
Darrin: Our typical customers are firms, whether they are accounting, medical, law, or marketing, that have between 15 and 100 computer users. Our clients range from two to over 100 employees.
If your shop was cocktail, what kind would it be?
Darrin: We believe a Sazerac best describes our business. It's a small drink, just as we are a small company, but it's stronger than it looks. Plus, Sazeracs were created in New Orleans!
Describe your business in a few words.
Charlotte: It's our tagline, "We are your IT staff without the overhead." We can do everything that an IT department does, without our clients' having to pay for IT staff office space and other expenses. We hire local employees, so are contributing to our local economy, while keeping technology affordable for area businesses. We monitor our clients' systems 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and offer state-of-the-art IT solutions.
How do you define "success" in your business?
Darrin: A successful week is making sure that all of our clients' computers maintain up-time with no downtime. If our clients don't even realize we are there, then we are doing our job!
Charlotte: We have been recognized by New Orleans CityBusiness for the second year in a row as one of the "Best Places to Work." Our employees are like family. We have a great staff as well as clients who have been with us for decades, often due to the relationships they form with our fantastic IT specialists.
Darrin: Something that sets us apart from our competitors is that we work as a team. Everyone knows enough about all projects so any tech can work with any client. Having happy employees is incredibly important to our success as well. We have low turnover in the office, which helps us maintain a sense of family in the office and with our clients.
What are your current or any upcoming goals for your businesses and/or community?
Darrin: Like any business, we would like to increase our revenue and increase our bottom line.
Charlotte: Specifically, we are looking to sign on one to two new clients a week. One of our hurdles is that we started out serving home-based users, but now we focus on working with businesses. We have been around 20 years and had to evolve our business plan. We have a lot of new products and services (including a valet drop-off service) and we want the community to know that we are a business IT firm.
Also, as a couple, as a business, and as residents of the city, we feel it is important to give back. Rent-A-Nerd has donated all sorts of items, from toiletries for the homeless to blankets for animal shelters. We feel a need to give back to this beautiful city that has given so much to us.
What's your favorite local biz in the area?
Darrin: We always try to support local businesses. I like Aidan Gill for Men—they have great ties and products. Martin Wine Cellar is a nice local spot as well.
Charlotte: For me, I really like Hemline. They have wonderful employees who know all women are not the same and come in different sizes. They make you feel good about yourself, and the shopping experience is wonderful.
Will you share your favorite local lunch or dinner spot?
Charlotte: We like Lüke, located on St. Charles Avenue, in the CBD. It is the answer for everything! It's where we go to tailgate for Saints games—they have great specials and happy hour! For date night, we also like to go to Clancy's Restaurant or Lilette. Really, we have the best dining on earth right in our very own city, and we enjoy the heck out of it!
What advice would you give a new business owner?
Darrin: Document everything and get your processes down! If I could go back in time, I would write down all of our processes. Also, start with a business plan, even if it is just one page.
Charlotte: There are so many free or low cost resources to help you develop your business, where you are able to learn new skills and network with other local business owners. I also think that mentorships are also important. Find someone who is doing what you want to be doing in five years—you cannot be scared to ask for help, and most people are going to be glad to lend a hand!

While drainage system improvements and road construction make "shopping local" a bit more challenging in the short term, the critical improvements mean our city will be safer and stronger for generations to come. We hope you are inspired and continue to shop small and shop local—even if it takes a little extra time!

Sydney - The Australian Senate rejected legislation to repeal the country's carbon tax on Thursday because it did not guarantee savings would be passed onto consumers, but amended legislation could still pass as early as next week.
Mining magnate Clive Palmer's Palmer United Party (PUP), which holds the balance of power in the Senate, had said it would pass the legislation but withdrew support at the last minute.
"We're very clear: we support the removal of the carbon tax, but we don't support the removal of the carbon tax if it means it won't flow on to normal people," Palmer told reporters.
Australia has among the world's highest carbon emissions per capita due mainly to its reliance on coal-fired power stations.
Conservative Prime Minister Tony Abbott, once a climate-change sceptic, made the abolition of the carbon tax a centrepiece of his 2013 election, arguing it financially burdened industry and consumers and did little to cut emissions.
The last minute collapse in support from Palmer reflects the difficulty Abbott faces in shepherding his agenda through a potentially volatile parliament that his Liberal-National coalition does not fully control.
Last month Palmer, a colourful mining magnate, stood beside former US Vice President Al Gore in Canberra and said he would support the repeal but only with numerous conditions unpalatable to the government.
Chief among them was that Australia create a new emissions trading scheme in place of the one about to be repealed, which would have a zero price on carbon until Australia's main trading partners adopted similar legislation.
The carbon tax repeal legislation will now be sent back to the lower house of parliament for a fresh vote, dragging out the process and prolonging uncertainty in markets eager for a long-term answer on carbon pricing.
The new bill will remove the obligation on 348 of Australia's biggest companies to pay A$24.15 for each tonne of CO2 they emit and repeal legislation that would have launched an Emissions Trading Scheme in 2015.
The government plans to replace the carbon tax with a A$2.55bn Emissions Reduction Fund that will pay big emitters to cut carbon levels, but Palmer has dismissed that plan as "hopeless", casting more doubt on the path forward.

It must not have been that bad. I don't remember hearing any complaints. Except for the teacher's.
She asked my mom to meet with her after school. And to bring me.
She sat in the middle of her kidney-shaped table. My mom and I were on the other side.
I don't remember much about that meeting. Just that she told my mom what I'd been doing and that it needed to stop.
Before school each class would make two lines. A line of boys and a line of girls.
I'd walk down the girls' line and give them each a kiss.
I don't remember exactly why I did it. I wasn't in love with every girl in the class. At least I don't think so…
I didn't see a problem with it. I kissed my family members all the time. Even my grandpas.
I didn't get in a lot of trouble. That's probably because I stopped.
I didn't kiss another girl for twelve years.
But that's another story.

I don't know if this chart exists yet, but I just realized it and it needs to exist.
Haha, thanks!
Reblogged this on Panda-monium and commented:
Lol times 1000. Accurate!
Reblogged this on Random Acts of Snark.
I believe the world is also crying out for a chart showing how much the users of each of the major platforms complains about how awful it is. A special chart for Twitter could include a breakdown of how much users complain that their not-horrible-or-idiotic-at-all ideas are misunderstood strictly because of the 140-character limit.
I only glimpsed at the chart, actually, because I really spend very little time on WordPress.
Reblogged this on patc44's Blog and commented:
Or those who think they know about social media, but in fact know very little!
That's entirely appropriate.
I think you need a pie slice for friends and relatives who refuse to read my blog and then complain that they don't know what I'm up to.
See, I'm the opposite. Random family I haven't talked to in forever or friends of the family are like, "Oh yeah, I read your blog." And then I feel very awkward and weird. Actually though, I feel awkward and weird about most things.
Hi! loved your blog!! 🙂 Feel free to visit my blog http://www.nithisclickncook.com
This is too deeply depressing and unbelievable. Seriously, that many idiots are out there, still?

The saying goes that history only remembers the winners. But when it comes to football, the maxim does not always hold true. Indeed, just as the 1974 FIFA World Cup™ will always be remembered for the dazzling Netherlands side that lost in the final to West Germany, so the story of the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2013 will reserve a special chapter for the exploits of Rafael Riobo.
The Spaniard did not win the title. In fact, he did not even reach the final. He did, however, earn the respect of all his opponents, thanks to his remarkable goalscoring record and spectacular victories on the way to finishing third in the competition. "For me he's the best player in the world at the moment, without a doubt," defending champion Alfonso Ramos, who drew 1-1 with Riobo in the pair's match in Group A, told FIFA.com.
The statistics certainly lend weight to Ramos's claim. Playing as Bayern Munich, Riobo finished the tournament top of the scoring charts with 20 goals – five more than newly crowned champion, Bruce Grannec – and came within 20 minutes of securing a place in the grand final.
"Thinking about it now, in the heat of the moment, I'd say I'm disappointed more than anything else. But looking at it rationally, coming second – sorry, third – is a good result," said Riobo, still trying to piece together his semi-final defeat by Mexico's Andrei Torres Vivero.
I've learned that, in tournaments like this, you have to be able to keep a cool head at crucial moments.
"I was 2-0 up after 70 minutes and could easily have reached the final," Riobo lamented. "But I made the mistake of not closing out the game and not sticking with my attacking formation. Then he [Andrei Torres Vivero] won a penalty, and it all fell apart." Indeed, after being held to a 2-2 draw, Riobo had Franck Ribery sent off in extra time, allowing his Mexican opponent to complete a dramatic turnaround and reach the final with a 4-2 victory.
"I'm feeling pretty down and disappointed," said Riobo, who, despite being a proud fan of Real Madrid, decided not to choose the same team as all his rivals and played instead with Bayern Munich. "I'd played with Real Madrid all year as they have Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the one who makes the difference.
"But I don't like to base my game around one player alone, which is why I decided to go for something different. They (Bayern Munich) are a more complete team," added the history student, who hopes to return to compete again next year and improve his final position.
As Riobo explained, his experience at the Grand Final in Madrid has taught him some valuable lessons that will stand him in good stead for the future. "I've learned that, in tournaments like this, you have to be able to keep a cool head at crucial moments. You need to know how to play it safe and be more cautious."
"I hope to return next year and put all of this into practice," he continued, before adding: "I'm going to do everything I can to make it all the way to the top." Riobo's future opponents: you have been warned.

The Most Discussed Topics on Facebook and Instagram in September [Infographic]
Facebook have released the latest edition of their Hot Topics report, which looks at the most mentioned issues across The Social Network, along with who they were being discussed by, in terms of demographic groups.
So what were the issues gaining the attention of Facebook users in September?
The Labor Day holiday was a big focus, as are all seasonal holidays and events. It's hard to take much from those as data points – it's almost not even worth including them in the listing – though they do underline the need to keep seasonal events in mind in you Facebook marketing and outreach efforts. And strange that Halloween is such a popular topic of discussion so far out – it gathered a lot of mentions last month too (with the discussion also lead by younger female users).
The return of the NFL was also a big focus, while Fall TV shows also got some attention with younger female users particularly fond of "American Horror Story".
Interestingly, the moderator of the first Presidential debate, Lester Holt, rates a mention (amongst older male users), but neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton are listed. My assumption here is that both are discussed at such a steady rate that there's been no increase in mention volume, so Facebook's chosen to omit them from the listing of Hot Topics. They do the same in their "Topics to Watch" report, identifying only issues that are trending beyond their normal volume – otherwise things like "Lunch" would be listed in every report.
Over on Instagram, the story was similar.
Normally there's a clear delineation between the two listings, but they seem very similar this time around. That said, there were more entertainment based discussions on Instagram, with things like the new Harry Potter book making the list.
As always, Facebook has also included Hot Topics reports for:
Always worth a read, the Hot Topics reports provide additional insight into what's resonating with Facebook's audience, and can help provide you with more context as to what's of most interest to your target audience on the platform, helping refine your marketing approach.
You might even find a new angle you hadn't thought of relative to your specific market.

Youth's a stuff will not endure
2 comments:
Fascinating article. And quite scary, at 30, to feel the younger generation doing things that are outside of my radar! I suppose under the old 'top down' business model new 'youth movements' in music only gained enough power and distinctiveness to break through when there was a certain critical mass, which may explain the bland music this country has tended to produce during the last decade.ReplyDelete
My guess is that whats coming next will not be a coherent, singular movement, and nor will it be understood by looking at recent history as a model.
There is a lot of gap in the thought process.Todays young mass are more inclined towards party, drugs, girls.If the friend circle is bad then they will go towards the darker side of life.ReplyDelete

Record numbers join in 2011!
- Published 3 January 2012
We've had some great news to see the New Year in with … 18,000 new members have joined the Art Fund during 2011 which is an increase of 15%. Our almost 90,000 members have helped us place £18.5 million worth of art in UK museum collections.
We've had some great news to see the New Year in with - 18,000 new members have joined the Art Fund during 2011 which is an increase of 15%. Our almost 90,000 members have helped us place £18.5 million worth of art in UK museum collections.
Stephen Deuchar the Director of the Art Fund observed, "At a time when Britain's museums are facing cuts of at least 15%, our success with the National Art Pass in bringing a 15% growth in membership this year has shown that the public's appetite for great art remains undiminished"
During 2011 we committed over £4.4 million to support the acquisition of almost 150 works of art by museums and galleries in the UK, here are some of our highlights from the past year:
Marcantonio Bassetti's The Dead Christ, Fitzwilliam Museum
This gloomily haunting work is an extremely rare intact example of Veronese oil on slate painting. Its gleaming surface and highly unusual composition together made it one of the most extraordinary Baroque paintings to become available in years.
The Nimrud Ivories, British Museum
Excavated in the 1940s and 1950s by Agatha Christie's archaeologist husband Sir Max Mallowan, this collection of almost 1,000 exquisite carved ivories and figures dating from the 9th to 7th centuries BC are essential to the study of Assyrian civilization.
The Frome Hoard, Museum of Somerset
This is the largest hoard of Roman coins ever to have been found in a single container. It is also the second largest Roman coin hoard ever found, with 52,503 coins weighing 160kg.
Edward Ardizzone's illustrations for Graham Greene's The Little Train, Seven Stories
This complete suite of watercolour illustrations by one of Britain's best-loved illustrators was created for one of only four picture books for children written by Graham Greene, and was acquired by the nation's museum for children's stories, based in Newcastle
Alex Katz's Anna Wintour, National Portrait Gallery
Perhaps the last great pop artist working today, Alex Katz has been at the very forefront of painting since he began exhibiting in the 1950s. This 2009 portrait of American Vogue's famously formidable Editor-in-Chief captures both the seriousness of the sitter, and a softer side that is less associated Wintour. The image is currently the bestselling postcard produced by the National Gallery.

Providing Stewardship
The Fund for Academic Renewal provides donors with several pathways for directing their charitable giving, each designed to ensure that gifts advance the donor's vision for meaningful higher education philanthropy.
FAR guides donors through the philanthropic process. In addition to helping donors locate programs worthy of their support, FAR also serves as a resource for donors for understanding gift agreements and implementing gift restrictions. FAR may also assist donors in monitoring and evaluating implementation.
Here are some of the ways FAR serves individuals and families, as well as groups of donors:
- FAR helps donors translate their aspirations into specific philanthropic objectives by identifying meritorious campus programs and activities.
- FAR works with donors to create proposals for new projects or initiatives. We understand how to work with college faculty and other campus leaders to develop innovative opportunities for students to enrich their college experiences.
- FAR assists alumni from a particular college or college class, families who wish to establish a memorial fund, and other groups of individuals with a common purpose in order to make a joint gift.
- FAR partners with donors and their advisors to structure gifts that avoid ambiguities about intent.
- FAR may assist donors in monitoring the implementation and success of their gifts.
When donors are contemplating major gifts, we serve as a resource to financial advisors and legal representatives to ensure all the "i"s are dotted and "t"s are crossed in thoughtfully drafted grant agreements.
Some donors may prefer to retain control of their funds but would value information and advice from FAR's staff and advisors and would benefit from FAR's access to a nationwide network of campus contacts and resources. This is an option as well.
We are hands-on from start to finish, which takes the guesswork out of giving. Moreover, we are able to provide these services at no cost.
Whether your intended gift is large or small, FAR has a giving program than can be tailored to your individual interests and financial circumstances.
Neither FAR nor ACTA offers legal or tax advice. Donors should always consult their personal advisors before making a gift.

Professional photographers Clay Larsen and Jon Mackey join Jen to talk about today's perceptions of photography. From the way technology and Instagram have affected how people view their own ability to take photos, to what now defines photojournalism, to the sometimes diluted definition of a "good" or "artistic" photo, the medium is at a much different place than it was even ten years ago. But no matter what lens you view it through, one thing is indisputable: don't have your friend take your headshot for free.

Inês Brandão Architecture completed the design of Casa Celeiro, a stylish remodel in Monte Real, Portugal. The young family living here wanted to pay tribute to the 50-year-old building that was once half barn, half housing.
Original elements of the construction were carefully preserved, while the additions contribute to a fresh, contemporary vibe. A simple black and white color palette makes this home feel spacious and elegant.
Without question, the focal point of this project is the "black box" in the middle; it serves as both an aesthetic highlight and a functional element. It is within this unconventional volume that the kitchen, toilet, storage and staircase are embedded.
"This 'furniture' is fundamental in the compartmentalization of the social area of the ground floor, dividing the space between entrance area, living room, dining area and kitchen," the designers explain. "The top floor, which served for drying grains in the past, now overlooks the social area and works as a retreat space and working zone."
What are your thoughts on the unusual addition in this Portugal remodel? [Photography by João Morgado]

Award Negotiation and Acceptance
This page contains links to 3rd party content. If you experience any issues accessing the content, please contact Sponsored Projects.
All sponsored project awards are issued to the Board of Regents, NSHE, on behalf of the University of Nevada, Reno as the legal fiduciary responsible for the conduct and commitments under the award. Note: NSHE stands for the Nevada System of Higher Education.
Award Review and Negotiation
Sponsored Projects reviews all award documents for a variety of terms and conditions that are not acceptable to the University of Nevada, Reno (University) as a public entity of the State of Nevada. It is the combined responsibility of the principal investigator (PI) and Sponsored Projects to ensure that the award document does not contain terms and conditions to which the University cannot comply. When an award is received, a Sponsored Projects grants and contracts officer will review the terms and conditions of the award prior to the signing of the award agreement. If necessary, the grants and contracts officer will negotiate changes to the terms and conditions. If there are terms and conditions regarding confidentiality, publication or other items that may impact individuals working on the project, the PI will be contacted and consulted prior to signing the award agreement. If the project scope of work and budget included in the award appear to be substantially the same as what was proposed by the PI, Sponsored Projects will move forward with signature and send a copy of the fully executed agreement to the PI. If the award significantly changes any proposed budgetary or scope of work provisions, the PI must concur with the new terms prior to signature. Typically, there are fewer post-award administrative and legal difficulties when Sponsored Projects is primarily involved in contractual negotiations instead of receiving an agreement after an individual University employee has attempted to negotiate the agreement on their own.
Authorized Signature Authority
Before an agreement can be enforced against a state entity, it must be signed by a person with specific statutory authority to sign on behalf of the state. Authority must be ACTUAL authority and cannot be delegated unless a state's statute or constitution allows such delegation. Delegation must be made as prescribed in the statute. Sponsored Projects has been delegated certain levels of signature authority on behalf of the University and NSHE. The associate vice president for research administration has signature authority on award agreements up to $3M and no longer than five years duration. Agreements for more than this amount of money or time require countersignature by the NSHE chancellor in order to be binding on the University. Signature authority and particular system-wide concerns are set forth in the NSHE Procedures and Guidelines Manual, Chapter 5, Section 3, Preparation and Approval of Contracts.

Dear Gurus, following is the link for my travelogue on 8 days road trip to Quetta from Islamabad for your review and comments, please:
Assalam o alikum!I wanna go to (Paye Meadows, Naran, Shogran, Babusar Top and Lulusar) in March 2019. We are 4 friends, what will the cost apply in overall tour? We will depart from Rawalpindi by Public conveyances.
Naran, Lulusar and Babusar Top will not be reachable during March due to hell of snow....Might be you can reach till shogran... but afterwards there will also be lots of snow and you can track till paye meadows but that's will be winter survival and it will be very difficult to bear the coldness.
Faiqzakai is quite right. Depending upon weather, postpone your trip till May atleast. Babusar hardly opens in June.

Dog Adoption - Jake
by Molly
Jake Beagle/chocolate Labrador mix
I had just moved out of my parents' house and I was thinking of getting a pet. I didn't know what I wanted yet. Eventually I went to the local animal shelter. I was shown around. Each dog I saw I liked, but they all were missing something. I thought I'd go to another shelter, but at the very end of the row of pens in the last room, I saw him.
I asked what kind of dog he was. I was told he was a beagle/chocolate lab mix. He was abused and left to die when the old owners moved out. He had lots of scars and he had one eye. He wagged his tail a few times, but stayed in the corner of his pen. I said I wanted him. I had to wait a few days to pick him up.
I found out he'd been in the shelter for two years. His name was Devon. He had his neuter surgery. I took him home. He slept on the bed with me and went on car rides and loved playing with the neighbor's Chihuahua, Gypsy. But one day I let him out to go to the bathroom. The gate was open and he ran. I worried about him for days.
I called everybody in the neighborhood and I put up posters. After two weeks I got a call late at night. It was a woman. She said they found my dog and we made plans for me to get him in the morning.
I showed up early in the morning. A man, woman, and two girls about 8 or 9 were out in the yard with him. The girls were playing with him. I called for him and he ran to me. I hugged him. I was about to put him in the car when I saw the girls' faces. They were crying and calling for him, calling him Jake.
I knew I couldn't take him. He liked it better with them. I said bye to him. Told him to be good to the family. He became part of their family.
I do still miss him, and occasionally I babysit the girls and get to see him. I'm about to adopt a Saint Bernard named Bernie.

Funny enough, both this and D787 were needed to make the fixed width change work. But I think it's just 'cause of the svg.attr('width'). So I'll accept both and move to review. Now there's still a slightly annoying thing that the height is changing based on the labeling, so the time selector controls jump around a bit. This is minor, we can figure something out later.

Subscribe To Rumor: Syphon Filter 4, God Of War IV Announcements Coming In February Updates
I've already subscribed
We've probably reported on God of War IV quite often here at Gaming Blend without any official announcement from Sony. The funny part about it is that there is already proof the game is in development. Well, new info has come to light indicating that an official announcement for GoW IV and Syphon Filter 4 will be coming in February.
According to Silly Gamer, UK centric magazine PLAY has heard from their "spies" that Sony has plans to dominate 2012 with some serious first-party releases in addition to The Last of Us and Twisted Metal, including God of War IV and Syphon Filter 4.
What's more is that PLAY is convinced the Sony Computer Entertainment London Studio, made famous for their unrivaled 2002 crime drama, The Getaway, are the ones working on Siphon Filter 4. Heck, it would have been more impressive if a Getaway HD was in the works or maybe a Getaway 3 was on the way, but I guess we can always dream.
Anyways, God of War IV seems even more relevant than Syphon Filter 4 given that Santa Monica Studios has been hiring for a new game specifically for online cooperative functionality and a composer even had God of War IV credited to his resume. So I mean, really, what does that tell you?
The only new information is that both of these first-party exclusives are rumored to launch before 2012 is out. Given that the holidays will be jam-packed with heavy hitters such as Halo 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 I'm guessing we can expect a summer release for Syphon Filter 4 and maybe a late summer release for God of War IV? But who knows. We'll keep you posted if Sony actually makes the announcement for both of these titles when February rolls around.

We know visiting a church can be intimidating, but don't let that keep you away (see What to Expect). We are prepared to demonstrate Christian hospitality and to welcome you warmly. Some visitors come seeking a community of support where they can meet people, grow in their faith, and be involved in productive ways promoting justice, peace and understanding everywhere.
We also know that some people prefer to keep a low profile, blend in, come and go without too much fuzz. Whichever you are, God knows your need and brings you to this church for a purpose. Let's explore it together.
Our particular Reformed background leads us to affirm the majesty, holiness, and providence of God who calls us, out of sheer love and freedom, to participate in the life of the church (the beloved community), living responsibly in the freedom of the children of God. We are not naïve about the presence of evil, with its varied manifestations in corruption, idolatry, tyranny, racism, violence, greed and injustice. But our courage and optimism derive from our conviction that "goodness is stronger than evil, love is stronger than hate, light is stronger than darkness and life is stronger than death."
Christ's victory is sure. Our beliefs originate from the scriptures of the two testaments, are defined by the historic creeds and confessions of the Church, and are interpreted in consultation with the congregations united through our connectional system.
As a congregation, we are committed to the nurture of our children and youth and to their full participation in the life and ministry of the church, the honest engagement with our sacred texts, the development of ecumenical relations, and the integration in worship of varied musical styles including contributions from the world Church. To accomplish all this, God has given us beautiful and large facilities, faithful and caring pastors, effective and professional staff persons, and diverse and dedicated leaders (see our Staff team).
Our worship has historic roots and is Trinitarian, liturgical, Reformed, and sacramental. For our texts we follow the Revised Common Lectionary. Beside hymns, we sing or chant the Psalms, and use responses and refrains from a variety of sources.
During the Passing of the Peace, people are invited to reach to their neighbor and share an expression of welcome. We reserve a deeper engagement for the time after worship (Fellowship Hour), to which everyone is invited. Children are always welcome in worship and at some point they are invited to come to the front for a short sermon geared to their developmental stage before being escorted to Sunday School classes (from September to June) or Children's Church (July and August). But if children prefer to remain with you in worship, that is perfectly acceptable.
We take time to share joys and concerns with one another either orally or in writing, so these expressions of thanksgiving and prayer concerns may be remembered in the Prayers of the People and throughout the week. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is ordinarily celebrated on the third Sunday of the month and on special days and festivals (Easter Sunday, World Communion Sunday, All Saints' Sunday, Transfiguration of our Lord, Reign of Christ, Maundy Thursday, etc.).
We are not a pretentious congregation, so people dress in comfortable clothes with the awareness that we are, after all, entering the presence of God, and who looks, not so much on the outward appearance but, on the heart.

We recognize that part of our role in this area is as a repository of history. The following areas highlight some of the elements that connect us to a past quickly disappearing from Central New Jersey. Donations for several of these projects are gratefully accepted.
On May 16, 1892, the Consistory voted to seek an estimate of the cost of building a recess at the back of the sanctuary for the installation of an organ. The space was created and a contract signed in September of that year with Lewis C. Harrison of Bloomfield, NJ for a two-manual instrument with pedals.
"Said organ to be made of the best and choicest materials in the very best workmanlike manner, and erected, finished and put up in complete order." The specifications attached to the contract called for a large instrument of 23 sounding stops, plus all the usual couplers and accessories. It also incorporated a relatively new technology described as "Harrison Improved Tubular Pneumatic Action for each Manual and Pedals." In mechanical "tracker" action organs, the more stops that are engaged, the more finger pressure it takes to depress the keys. Tubular pneumatic action first introduced in the 1860s operated on compressed air, effectively removing any limitation on the number of stops that could be placed at one time (until then, 10 to 15 sounding stops were the most organists could handle). At first the instrument was hand pumped. Eventually it was equipped with a water motor, and after 1926 with an electric blower.
The original cost for the instrument was recorded as $3,824.94.
The prospect of rebuilding a tubular pneumatic instrument today is quite complicated requiring the removal of the components disrupting many lead tubes. Estimates for a complete factory rebuild with restoration of tubular pneumatic action sought 10 years ago (2006) put the cost at $277,225.00.

"I'm still afraid of boys now."
Just when you thought all the tales had been told, Muhammad Ali's daughter Maryum "May May" Ali gives his fans yet another insight into what put the great into The Greatest Of All Time.
Parade nabbed this exclusive outtake from Clare Lewins' film I Am Ali, which aired this year and was based on rare access to Ali's audio journals.
May May's tale is a quick one, but the conversation she relates about the birds-and-bees talk her dad gave her when she was barely a teenager is oh-so typically Ali.
And it seems the world still can't get enough of that.

2009 Sangreal By Farr Pinot Noir
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Cellar 5 - 6 years (2016-2017)
- Closure: Cork
By Farr wines are made exclusively from grapes sourced at the estate on north/northeast undulating slopes at Bannockburn, Victoria. Planted in 1994 The Sangreal vineyard is the oldest of the By Farr vineyards lying on a north facing slope which has red ironstone colouring on the surface and a limestone base unlike the other By Farr vineyards which are mostly black volcanic soil with heavy amounts of limestone on the surface. The vine rows run north/south gaining full sun exposure throughout the day resulting in more perfumed, prettier wines and is always the first vineyard to be harvested.Deep dark red colour with dark red mauve hue showing excellent depth for a Pinot Noir. Fragrant and very perfumed the nose displays lifted notes of violets, dark cherries, dark plum, cedar and spice with a gamey overlay. Rich and possessing an explosive power wave the palate delivers mouthfilling flavours of dark cherry, violets infusions and spice followed by some game and cedar on the back palate. Perfectly integrated velvet smooth tannins with very long and persistent aftertaste of dark cherry, spice, earth, cedar and game.
Cellar 5-6 years (2016-2017)
Alc 13.0% Other Reviews....
Deep purple-crimson; the bouquet has a rich and complex array of dark berry fruits, shifting up a gear on the positively voluptuous palate, which opens strongly and does not back off at any stage. Despite all this, it is a wine of finesse, very different to Farrside Pinot Noir. Drink by 2020.
