The American Banking Community and New Deal Banking Reforms, 1933-1935
The American Banking Community and New Deal Banking Reforms, 1933-1935
This study traces the history of remedial banking legislation enacted during the period of the Great Depression. Two major themes are developed: the role of the banking community in determining commercial bank reform legislation, and the evolution of the New Deal banking policies.
During the Roosevelt administration, three major banking measures--the Emergency Banking Act of 1933, the Banking Act of 1933, and the Banking Act of 1935--were enacted. The first of these, the Emergency Banking Act of 1933, was born of the necessity of the hour. The banks of the nation were closed; their reopening, together with the restoration of public confidence, was essential. This measure achieved that end.
The Banking Act of 1933 was enacted during the first hundred days of the Roosevelt administration. While this measure is usually considered as part of the Roosevelt recovery program, it had only nominal support of the administration. The force of circumstances and public opinion played an important role in the passage of this legislation which increased federal supervision of banking and provided a guaranteed safety for bank deposits.
A study of the evolution of the New Deal banking program necessitates an examination of Franklin Roosevelt's outlook on banking. His views were crucial in determining the banking policies followed during his administration. Roosevelt sought the cooperation of the bankers, but the bankers feared what . . .

Carbondale, KS Bed Bug Treatments
The best advice we can give for avoiding bed bugs is to know what bed bugs look like and to be aware of your surroundings while traveling or just while living your daily life. Adult bed bugs grow to about 3/16th of an inch in length and are a flat-oval shape (think apple seed), they have six legs and are wingless. Before having a blood meal they are brownish-red in color, after feeding they will turn reddish-purple in color and become more elongated in shape.
Adults bed bugs can be found in any public place so keeping your belongings-coats, purses, bags, off of the ground can go a long way in preventing these blood-thirsty pests from hitchhiking their way onto your belongings and into your home. When traveling before bringing luggage into your hotel or motel room inspect it for signs of bed bugs (adults, shed skins, blood spots, and black smears). Use a flashlight to be able to see easier into the cracks and crevices of mattresses, box springs, and wooden furniture. After returning home from a vacation make sure to immediately wash all clothing in hot water, followed by a spin in the dryer, vacuum out and wipe down any suitcases that were used before storing them away in your home for the next trip. It is also very important to try not to purchase used mattresses, box springs, furniture or similar items for your home. No deal is worth a possible bed bug infestation!
If you ever spot signs of bed bug in your Carbondale home, contact the professionals found at Schendel as quickly as possible. We will start with a thorough inspection of your property using our specially trained K-9 inspectors. After inspection, if bed bugs are discovered, our Schendel bed bug experts provide effective treatment using a combination of heat and targeted insecticide applications to quickly eliminate all bed bugs from your Carbondale property.

Plan on being there. Representative Karen Bass will speak at our monthly Democratic Club Meeting on Wednesday! Please join us in giving her a great, big Culver City welcome! We'll also be voting on ENDORSEMENTS.
We'll hear from her on a variety of issues with upcoming midterm elections and how we in Culver City can help turn get a Democrat elected in a few nearby congressional districts. It should be an exciting meeting. Bring your calendar and find some time to work with the Culver City Democratic Club to call voters in those districts, and other ways you might help resist Trump from here in Culver City. Learn details about our planned evening of making phone calls to Democrats in nearby districts August 15.
The Culver City Democratic Club has been part of a large coalition of activists groups engaged in a battle to end oil drilling and fracking. We are committed to a clean future in Culver City and committed to doing our part to fight climate change.
At our July 11th meeting members voted to empower the EBoard with the decision to support passage of SB 100 and SB 834. SB 100 will mandate the Public Utilities Commission require renewable energy resources and zero-carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to serve California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. In the intervening years SB 100 will also raise requirements to move toward 100% renewable energy by 2045.
Like SB 100, SB 834 will also move California toward an end of drilling and fracking. The Trump administration wants to expand oil drilling off our precious coasts. SB 834 forbids California agencies from issuing new permits and licenses for tidelands and submerged lands within state regulated waters. SB 834 will thwart the Trump administration by not issuing permits and licensees for new infrastructure, like pipelines.
The Culver City Democratic Club members and EBoard agreed without hesitation to support both of these bills. Corresponding Secretary Cynthia Hart hand delivered letters of support to Assemblymember Sydney Kamlager who expressed support for both bills.
On Monday, July 23 7 pm, CITY COUNCIL will consider a Resolution Protecting Our Ocean and Coast from Offshore Drilling, Exploration and Fracking. This resolution is broader than SB 834. CITY COUNCIL is an important voice as we all move forward locally and globally to end drilling, fracking and reverse climate change. WE URGE ALL CLUB MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC TO VOICE YOUR SUPPORT FOR CITY COUNCIL'S ACTION.
Planned Parenthood is in one of the toughest fights of its life. Trump is trying to block funding and roll back access to sexual health and reproductive health care services to some of the most needy in our community. Title X is the only federal grant program providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. The Administration's proposed Title X gag rule will deny critical health services to millions of women, men and families. We're asking you to join us in standing up against Trump's gag rule.
The current attack aims to: 1) block funding for Planned Parenthood under the Title X Family Planning Program; 2) prohibit Title X providers from referring anyone for abortion; and 3) removes existing Title X protections that ensure women have full, honest information about all of their pregnancy options, including abortion.
We are nearly halfway through the 60-day Public Comment Period. To stop the changes to Title X, part of the strategy is to ensure a broad and vocal opposition. The collective goal is to secure 1 million comments from the public. Please join Planned Parenthood and other allies by submitting your comment using the link below - it is easy and fast. Resist!
Take action now by clicking on the "Submit your comments today" link from Planned Parenthood.

ISLAMABAD: Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has disclosed that the federal government has given it assurances that neither the company nor its shareholders and employees will be worse off in the wake of implementation of proposed gas sector reforms.
"The assurance has been given by the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) in a letter addressed to the SNGPL managing director," the company said.
The revelation was made by an SNGPL delegation during the first consultative session held by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) in Peshawar recently. Similar sessions are scheduled to take place in Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi and Quetta in the next two weeks.
As part of the reforms, Ogra proposed a new formula featuring a varying rate of return for the public gas utilities – SNGPL and Sui Southern Gas Company – instead of the current fixed return. However, Ogra Chairperson Uzma Adil Khan clarified that the regulator had not taken any final decision, which would be taken after consultation with the federal government, Sui gas companies and other stakeholders. Reports suggest that a similar assurance had also been given to the gas utility earlier during meetings of the Gas Leadership Committee headed by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
Regulator starts consultation on gas tariff structure
According to the government assurance, the new rate of return, to be set by Ogra, cannot be less than the return allowed to Sui gas transmission and distribution companies under their licences. As a result, whether the rate of return is variable or fixed, it will not have any negative consequences for the shareholders and employees of the two companies.
Government and company officials believe that the gas utilities have faced financial crunch following change in the ratio of bulk and retail consumers.
A few years ago, the bulk consumers comprised 70% of the total whereas retail consumers had the remaining 30% share. However, the situation has reversed now as bulk consumers are standing at 30% whereas retail consumers have jumped to 70%, which leads to higher transmission and distribution losses and erodes profits of the utilities.
In a bid to curb losses and provide better consumer services, the previous government of Pakistan Peoples Party had floated the idea of splitting the two utilities. Multilateral donors – the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank – also pushed the government to undertake critical reforms in the energy sector.
Division of gas companies into separate transmission and distribution firms and changes to the tariff regime are part of the reforms.
An important feature of the proposed reforms is the hiring of a transaction adviser, who will recommend structure of the splitting process. The adviser will ensure that the gas companies remain sustainable and commercially viable and their shareholders and employees enjoy at least the same benefits as they are receiving now.
During the consultative session, the SNGPL team told Ogra that appointment of the adviser would be made only when the company was assured that it would continue to earn at least the same rate of return after the reforms as it was receiving now.
Government rules out gas price increase from July
Ogra also appeared to acknowledge the government's stance that Sui gas companies should not be adversely impacted under the new tariff regime. The purpose of the series of consultative sessions is to ensure that views of those expected to be affected by the proposed reforms are heard. However, the federal government will finalise the tariff regime.
Some salient features of the reforms are that they should be implemented in phases over a period of one to two years, Sui companies earn a return on the federal government's grants and leave room for the revaluation of assets.

I'm heading out for a few days, sweet people. I'm pretty sure this blog can write itself while I'm away. I'm going up to tropical Victoria BC to see an opera. You heard me, an opera. I can like opera and sneer at Belltown at the same time, can't I? I'll post again on Sunday.
In the meantime, I leave the unholy half-man, half-dinosaur mutant I created and named Maurice in charge. His duties include tidying up, collecting the mail and devouring intruders. I'm sure absolutely nothing will go wrong during my absence.
If Belltown should suddenly and tragically slide into Elliott Bay, email me.

Please check the "Behaviour" setting in Shutter's preferences dialogue. You need to disable the "present main window after taking a screenshot" setting. Anyway, you might want to use lighter tool (e.g. scrot).
There is also the --no_session parameter. This is usefull when launching Shutter without using the GUI.
Can you help with this problem?

Filed under: Article, Blog, Candice, Cast, Finale, General, Links, NBC, News, Pictures, Season 1, Sylar
Melissa-Peregrym is a top site for all things Missy Peregrym and well they dished some ultimate scoopage running into the end of the season…
To land the role of Candice Wilmer, an evil super-illusionist working on Heroes, Surrey, B.C.-native Missy Peregrym went nose-to-nose with one of the series' most terrifying characters: the writers drafted a steamy scene in which Peregrym, 24, had to smooch with serial killer Sylar (Zachary Quinto)."The kiss was fine, [but] it wasn't romantic at all," Peregrym recalls in a recent interview. "I think they [casting directors] do that because it's so awkward! And they want to see if you can pull it off." She aced the test and, after appearing in several episodes in which she impersonated Simone (Peter Petrelli's dead girlfriend) and HRG's wife, Peregrym returned to guest star in the season's final six episodes, which began last week.
Asked if Candice will get romantically involved with Sylar, who is known for sucking heroes' brains and stealing their powers, Peregrym laughs. "It was purely for the audition." Still, it would make a mind-blowing storyline.
Peregrym's character is the latest mysterious figure to join the Heroes cast. As a shapeshifter, Candice messes with peoples' heads, making them see what she wants them to see. By "becoming" HRG's wife, for instance, Candice exposed the fact that Mr. Bennett had lied to his bosses and sent his adopted daughter, Claire the cheerleader, away.
Peregrym is grateful that Candice isn't a shapeshifter like the X-Men's Mystique. "I'm very glad I don't have to be called in at 2 a.m. just so my half-nude body can be painted blue for a shoot that begins at 10 p.m." She adds dryly, "That's not uncomfortable at all!" In her last role, Peregrym portrayed a troubled teen and gymnast in the feature film, Stick It opposite Jeff Bridges. She's also appeared in Smallville, Jake 2.0, and Black Sash.
As the first season of Heroes winds down, Peregrym shares that Candice will work with Micah Sanders (Noah Grey-Cabey). Candice's employer, the shady organization that disguises itself as a Texas paper factory, needs the youngster's ability for an undisclosed task. It's up to Candice to deliver.
So is she good or bad? Taking a child away from his parents suggests the latter. "I think there's a deeper agenda for Candice," Peregrym says, explaining that she doesn't yet know her character's back story. She has been told, unofficially, however, that she'll be returning for Heroes' second season. She's thrilled.
"I love my [Candice's] power. I like that I'm responsible for confusing everybody."

Four Past Midnight
By Stephen King
Genre: Horror
I'm not really a fan of short story anthologies. So why buy a short story anthology? Wasn't paying attention and bought it thinking it was one story.
Don't get me wrong. I love Stephen King. He is one of only four writers I would call my favorites. So, even after I realized my mistake, I read the book.
FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT is a collection of four short stories written by the incomparable Stephen King.
The first, THE LANGOLIERS, I've read before and seen the movie. It's great! It's a scrape-your-fingernails-along-the-arm-of-your-chair kind of story. A real white knuckl-er, if there ever was one. Strange rolly-poly, furry, nothing-but-teeth-demon-creatures are eating the world and all those left in it! I love it.
The second, SECRET WINDOW, SECRET GARDEN, is about fiction writer Mort Rainey whose wife is a cheat, whose life is a mess and whose idyllic get-away turns out to be a really bad place to be when a stranger named Shooter shows up and accuses him of plagiarism. To prove to Mort that he's not fooling around, he wants recompense for his work, darn it, Shooter kills Mort's dog with a screwdriver and then uses that same tool to make Swiss Cheese out of another man's brain. This guy is seriously crazy and Mort's not too far from being the same. It's an okay story…but left me feeling kind of…sigh. Do you know what I mean? This one fell flat for me. This is the reason for the four-star rating.
Story number three, THE LIBRARY POLICEMAN, is just…weird. Sam borrows books from the local public library (not realizing when he walked through the doors he stepped back into the 60's and was met there by a truly demonic librarian). When the books come due, he's confronted by the Library Policeman who brings back some horrific memories from Sam's past and some brand-new horror to deal with. This one was more exciting for me than SECRET WINDOW… but, still, not what I would consider King's best.
Story number four, THE SUN DOG, is true STEPHEN KING HORROR. Young Kevin gets a polaroid camera for his birthday. His first shot though—a family pic—doesn't develop. What does is a picture of a dog walking by a fence. Kevin tries again, and again and again. Every picture is of the same dog. Kevin soon realizes when he takes in the scope of all the pictures together that the dog is moving along the fence and getting closer and closer to the cameraman—him! Before long, the dog will attack and the true terror begins! Some of the characters in Sun Dog will appear later in Needful Things—one of King's most horrifying stories. I loved Sun Dog and when I was through with FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT I was still hungry for the scare… so I re-read Needful Things!

Revealing Revelation – Firstfruits
Much like how Chapter 10 was a transitional chapter, here in chapter 14 a similar technique is being employed. This is either a transition from the fall of Jerusalem to an emphasis on Rome or it simply stands on it's own as a separate section.
But here we are reintroduced to the 144,000 and here a declaration regarding the fall of Babylon. We then see the image of the sickles introduced and the apocalyptic picture of the grapes of wrath, a horrific bloodbath and blood reaching tremendous depths.
But how are we to understand all these images? First let's deal with the 144,000 as they have now made it through the time of Tribulation brought on by the seven trumpets.
Rev 14:1 Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, 3and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. 4It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, 5and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless.
These 144,000 who were introduced during Chapter seven as coming from the earth (land), are now seen as being on Mt. Zion. This picture is reminiscent of Psalm 2
Psalm 2:1 Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,
3″Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us."
4He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6″As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill."
Set against the backdrop of nations raging against both the Lord and His anointed, we see both in Revelation 14 and Psalm 2 that the Lord is in control and that His wrath will be set against those evil rulers whole rail against His own. And he does so from His holy hill, Mt. Zion. This similar imagery should not be missed and again, here we see the Apostle relating that which he is seeing with that which he knows from the Old Testament.
This new Mt. Zion is pictured in the book of Hebrews as well as the place to which those members of the New covenant would be go.
Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven
The similarity in imagery is striking. Even the similarity of the term first born and John's phrase firstfuits denotes similar imagery and a first century fulfillment. This also lends itself to understand the book of Revelation's writing as being prior to 70 AD as with the book of Hebrews.
These 144,000 have the name of the son and the father written on their foreheads. This is shown as an image immediately following the mark of the beast at the end of Revelation 13. This, too, should be missed as the author is contrasting those who have the "mark of the beast" and those who have the "mark of Christ." But oddly enough, most "literalist" futurist argue that the mark in Revelation 13 from the beast is a physical one while they make no similar argument for the one here. Just the close association of placement should make the contrasting obvious.
These 144,000 sing a song that no one else could learn. It was a "new song." This most likely refers to the new song of the redeemed that would not be known to the nations of the world and the Old Covenant worshipers. This is a new song under a New Covenant. These first converts would be proclaiming this new song which would be unfamiliar to others.
These 144,000 are also called "virgins" which may be an odd description o the reader. But since the book should be taken as a whole and that we understand these 144,000 as coming from the land, and therefore representing the early Jewish converts to Christianity, the term "virgin" should best be understood Covenantally.
We will find later a second woman, this time called a harlot, that represents apostate Israel. These are those who continue to deny the Lord Jesus Christ as Messiah and saviour and continue the unneeded and unlawful ritual sacrifices surrounding the old covenant system that Hebrews says was vanishing away.
In contrast, the 144,000 are seen as virgins since they do not defile themselves with the Harlot of Old testament Judaism, but embrace the Lord Jesus Christ as their husband. Harlotry and Idolatry were synonymous and by not participating in a now idolatrous system, these new converts are "virgins" to the Lord.
Finally, John used the term firstfruits for God and the Lamb. As seen above, similar language is used in the book of Hebrews, though there the similar term is first born. Both a denoting the same thing. As a result, there is no way that one can push these events into the future, especially a future right before the "end" and proclaim these converts as "first" of anything. They would, in fact, be "last" fruits!
These are, in fact, those early converts who escaped as the final onslaught and destruction of the city of Jerusalem by heeding the warning of Jesus…following the Lamb!

A quilt for Relay for Life
A about a month and a half ago I was asked by a girl at work to make a quilt to be raffled off to help raise money for our relay for life team. I have been ridiculously excited, mainly because I don't often get to make something just because I think it's pretty, usually I have a recipient in mind. I had two charm packs sitting around, both Tanya Whelan collections --Delilah and French Hatbox. I knew when I got them that I wanted to pair them with white and make a bunch of half square triangles, and this gave me just the occasion I was looking for. I made them by putting the two squares together, one white and one printed, and sewing 1/4" on either side of the center line and then cutting down the center. It saved me from actually having to deal with triangles which was great. I ended up with 4" finished squares. My 1/4" foot saved my life again and made all my triangles have nice points! It was lovely.
I tried a number of different layouts, the possibilities with half square triangles are really endless, and finally landed on the one I wanted to use. It is one I saw on Red Pepper Quilts and it is just perfect. It is a small quilt since I only had 104 squares to work with and this design used up 99 of them. Since it was so small I added two borders and it ended up 40 1/2" x 49 1/2" after washing. The skinny border is just red with small polkadots and the bigger is from the DS Quilts line at Joann's. The binding is also from that line.
The back was its own ordeal since I ran out of time to order it and had to settle for what I could find locally, in this case at Joann's. I didn't like anything and finally decided I would get a solid color back so that I could get a 108" fabric and not have to worry about cutting or seaming or anything. It really allows the quilting to stand out, so thankfully it came out pretty much perfectly. Part of me wishes I had done the pieced backing I wanted to, but this was so much easier and I was in a time crunch and in the end, it looks really good.
I did echo quilting roughly 1/2" in on each side of the white squares. I say roughly because I just used the edge of my walking foot as a guide and I am pretty sure that is not an exact distance. It is even though and that is what counts. I really really love this. It is so bright and cheerful and I hope it finds a good home!

Subject: To heir is human pt 2
Tue Jul 23, 2013 2:44 am
It was warm. Arawn was glad he had choose to not wear long sleeves. With his blue flannel shirt open the small breeze was refreshing to his skin. Despite this his white under shirt was still sticking to his back in places. The red haired man ignored this minute discomfort as he gazed up at the sun beaming down above him. This was his first time in the city, but already he must look like a tourist with the way he stopped and looked at the various tall buildings. What had brought him here was the report of the massive battle that had taken place between the captain of the 2nd squad not too long ago. This incident was covered up by the humans as a freak storm. A storm that had tore through the city. It was amazing to see how quickly the city was recovering from the devastation. Silently he wondered how much the reconstruction had cost the citizens. Still the people seemed fine about the large cranes that worked to rebuild the fallen towers. There were large sections of the city that were blocked off as the construction workers toiled away. As he toured the streets he could still see the huge holes in the ground. For a moment a tarp was shifted by the wind to show half a building still missing. What a fight it must have been. Arawn wished he could take a closer look, but being in a gigai restricted his severely. He had wanted to visit the city as a shinigami, but had been warned against it. There had been several incidents in this city. Shinigami had gone missing when patrolling the area. While normally invisible to the human eyes there were other things that could see him. For instance the hollows. Much like the one that the captain had confronted. Arawn shuddered to think what would have happened if he had met up with that creature instead. Chances were the city would have seen less destruction, but Arawn wouldn't have survived the encounter. A monster capable of keeping a captain of the 13 Gotei at bay wasn't something to sneeze at. Although he had tried to test his skill against that very same man twice it was obvious that the 2nd Squad leader had been only toying with him. Arawn sighed, slightly depressed when he thought about how severely he was beaten in both of those occasions. The fact he was trying his best at the time of both encounters was equally disheartening. He gave his head a slight shake and decided to try and focus on something else. A growl from his stomach gave him such a subject; food.
That was one thing that Arawn enjoyed with his trips to the human world; all the food. The world was indeed wide and there were as many flavors and tastes as there were stars in the sky. Being a spiritual being he needed to feed to keep up his strength. Thus he had an excuse to consume various delicious dishes. Sanagu City was truly a great place to be. Even in it's current damaged state there were plenty of shops to choose from. It was midday and the smells were mixing with the slight smell of car exhaust. Arawn wondered what specialties he could look forward to. He had seen many different places on his way to the battle location. Open air cafes, delis, even a few vendor carts. Arawn fished into his pocket to make sure his wallet was still there. He was worried that someone had taken his money leaving him to starve. So many people filled the streets even on the construction places. Casting one last look skyward he decided he'd seen enough of the sights. It was lunch time, or at least his stomach felt that way. Who was he to question it? After looking up and down the street he decided to head north.
With luck the first place he found was indeed a deli. The people shouted the orders as they came up. At first he thought it was annoying, but it gave the place a special kind of flare. Some people smiled as they called back for his tuna melt sandwich. It was embarrassing to have everyone know what he was eating. Still it didn't really hurt him in any way. He got a ginger ale to wash it down with. The warmth of the day faded as he put the bottle to his lips and drank the cool liquid. The bubbles tickled his throat, but that was part of the appeal. He wasn't one for sodas, but once in a while they were nice. He didn't like the sugar rush and the inevitable drop after it had ran it's course. Sitting outside he had a good view of the cars passing by. People moving about their day without a care in the world. For a moment he wondered what he would be doing if he hadn't died so long ago. He gave a wry chuckle. Even if he hadn't died on the street that day he would still be dead. The average life span of people wasn't 200 years. There was no way he'd be around and about to see the various marvels of the current society. Perhaps dying was somewhat a blessing in a way. But what if he had died and not become a shinigami? Could he have been content with the life in Rukongai? Honestly he didn't know. Some people he saw in the districts seemed happy enough, but it was hard to tell. Were they just putting on a show for the passing shinigami? Possible. In other regions he would get grimaces and frowns from anyone that laid eyes on him. The people on the street didn't look unhappy. It was just as difficult to tell. There were some talking on their phones, laughing with friends, listening to music. So many people. Rather than dwell on it longer Arawn hurried to finish his lunch.

This is the story of Raiko Stenkovic, a refugee from Bosnia who now lives in a small Australian country town with his mother and haunting memories of his father. Raiko runs. In the few years that he's been in Australia he has already made a name for himself in middle distance events such as cross country and steeplechase, and now has his sights set on the biggest prize of all, the Olympics. This novel follows Raiko's quest for Gold. But in doing so, it also looks behind the scenes, at all the other people in Raiko's life.
So More than Gold is not just a sports story. It's many stories. There's a story of ambition and determination. There's a story of personal struggle, of leaving an old life and starting anew. There is also one of friendship and loyalty, and one about loss and grief. And through it runs a story about growing up. The book weaves together the tales of one boy, of two best friends, of a mother and son, and of a whole community that stands behind them.

Video – Connecting SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) with Salesforce using COZYROC Connector
On April-14, 2018, I had a chance to conduct online session on demonstrating integration between SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and Salesforce with the help of COZYROC connector.
This session covered below topics

After working on multiple Salesforce implementation project as an Architect, its time to share what I learned from those implementations and would strongly suggest to be considered before designing any "Salesforce Integration".
Below image shows "integration mind mapping" used by me. I use it to consider some major aspects while discussing integration approaches with enterprise architects in various meetings. This image is very high level however if you think some more points to be considered or have some other thoughts on same, please share.
1. Data Compliance
Lets start with Compliance part first. It is possible that client has confidential data and doesn't want to move it to Cloud. In that case, we can expose existing web application of Client using some Salesforce products like "Canvas" or "Lightning Connect". For Lightning Connect, data needs to be available on DMZ layer however for Canvas it can exist on Intranet and therefore end users can access data only within office, providing flexibility of cloud and security of intranet. Continue reading "10 Salesforce Integration design considerations from Architect point of view – Mind Mapping included"
In this post we will discuss how Canvas can be used to integrate Salesforce with Salesforce. On my blog we have seen many articles and possibilities to integrate Salesforce with another Salesforce instance like this and this post.
Whats is force.com Canvas
Force.com Canvas SDK from Salesforce allows developers to connect existing legacy system or any web based application with Salesforce using JavaScript and REST API. Canvas applications can be displayed in Chatter, Salesforce Mobile Cards or Visualforce page.
Why we are accessing another Salesforce instance as Canvas app
To get hands on with Canvas, most of article are around creating Heroku applications. I understand there are few developers who are not comfortable with Heroku. So to keep learning curve less, lets use Visualforce page to be exposed as Canvas application after all Visualforce is very advance MVC framework in itself. Continue reading "Salesforce to Salesforce integration using Canvas"
I have already written article to integrate Salesforce with other Salesforce instance around 3 years back. In last 3 years, Salesforce has changed a lot. This time I will integrate Salesforce with other Salesforce only only in 5 lines of code, can you believe it 🙂 ? Check my old article, and its around 50+ lines of code with security control.
What is Named Credential ?
A named credential specifies the URL of a callout endpoint and its required authentication parameters in one definition. You can simplify the setup of authenticated Apex callouts by specifying a named credential as the callout endpoint. You can instead specify a URL as the callout endpoint and register that URL in your organization's remote site settings. In that case, however, you handle the authentication in your code. Doing so can be less secure and especially complicated for OAuth authentication.
Long description short , "using Named Credential, we can make call out to external system without supplying username or Password".

Use Apex to call Salesforce REST API with sample source code
In previous post, we saw that how Visualforce can be used to call Salesforce Rest API. In this short post, I would share a small piece of code to demonstrate how to use Apex to call Salesforce REST API.
First and foremost step is to add your Salesforce instance URL in Remote site settings. Once that is done, use below sample Apex code to call Salesforce REST API.
I am using API to get metadata information about Salesforce object however that can be replaced by any supported REST API of Salesforce. Continue reading "Call Salesforce REST API from Apex"
What is REST API ?
In my words, Getting data from Other System or Same System using HTTP request is known as REST API.
If you know, how website works, you know REST API. Before REST API, there was SOAP request which needed lots of configuration and very tightly coupled. If you make any modification , you had to modify client side also by generating stubs / proxy classes again. There were many more disadvantages which got address by REST API. However, it doesn't mean we don't need SOAP.
Back to REST API, It is very simple to setup and almost any programming language can make HTTP request so very easy to get data from other source. Return type of REST API can be XML, Simple HTTP, JSON or any media like image. However, JSON is very popular response type amongst all.
In Past, I have already written one article demonstrating REST API usage.
How to use Salesforce REST API using JQuery in Visualforce ?
REST API Playground : I have created Simple Visualforce page, which demonstrates how to use REST API of Salesforce. It is written in Visualforce with the help of JQuery. You can study this code and play with it in your organization, you just need to copy and paste it.
You also need to add URL "http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com" in Remote Site Settings, so that salesforce will allow Visualforce page to get JQuery library from CDN.
One of the feature we have in Salesforce is that we can easily consume External Web Services. In this article, we will learn step by step demo of consuming Web Service in Apex. There are many public websites available to consume Web Service and one of them, I am using in this article is http://www.webservicex.net , from this location we are using Stock Quote Webservice. To consume this, we need WSDL.
The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based interface description language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a Web Service.
WSDL have to be downloaded from this location. We need this WSDL in later part of this tutorial.
Once, WSDL is downloaded and saved on local drive. We have to go to Salesforce and navigate to "Setup | Develop | Apex Classes". On right hand side, you will find button named as "Generate from WSDL". This button will generate equivalent Apex class to support Webservice call. In some Programming languages, these classes are known as Proxy classes or Stubs.
When we click on "Generate from WSDL" button, it will prompt for WSDL File. Select WSDL file downloaded previously and click on "Parse WSDL" button. On next page you will get this error : "Failed to parse wsdl: Found more than one wsdl:portType. WSDL with multiple portType not supported".
In some cases you may also get error like : "Failed to parse wsdl: Found more than one wsdl:binding. WSDL with multiple binding not supported".

Its long time, since i wrote any article because of my busy schedule However this time i came with advance one. In this article we are going to use the J2EE (Servlet) to Merge PDF attachment inside salesforce with the help of OAuth and ITextPDF jar file. The reason of writing this article is that there is no native support by Apex to merge two attachments in Salesforce. Either we have to go for AppExchange product like CongaMerg or Drawloop or we can write our own code in any other language like Java and C# and with the help of REST API we can save get and save attachment in Salesforce.
First we will need to setup the OAuth permission so that our local J2EE application can interact with Salesforce. For this login to Salesforce account and Navigate to "Set up | App Set up | Develop | Remote Access" and enter the information. Be careful about the "Callback URL". It must match in your code. After creating the "Remote Access", note "Consumer Key" and "Consumer Secret" which will be needed in your code.
Update : "Remote Access" is renamed to Connected App. So throughout this article, if you see image of "Remote Access" then please consider it as Connected App.

Natalie Sawyer: Anthony Joshua's next nine months could make him Britain's richest and most popular boxer
Sky Sports News presenter believes Joshua deserves the riches and trappings of fame for making himself accessible to fans
HE has the ability, the looks, the brand and the communication skills with the media and public.
If Anthony Joshua can beat Joseph Parker in Cardiff this month, and then dispose of Deontay Wilder later this year, he will become the richest British boxer ever.
But it will not be an easy road... firstly, he has to negotiate the very dangerous Parker.
Then he must agree to what will be one of the biggest heavyweight fights of the decade against the dangerous Wilder.
American champ Wilder won a brutal battle at the weekend against Luis Ortiz and like Joshua in the Klitschko fight, he came back from the brink of defeat to knock his opponent out.
Joshua and Wilder have both proved that they have unbelievable heart and desire, they will leave everything in the ring.
AJ understands the importance of excellence in his craft and the power of a fantastic brand.
He is loved by the British public because he is personable and puts the effort into doing all the things some sports people hate doing.
WILD WORDS Deontay Wilder rubbishes Anthony Joshua's heroic Wladimir Klitschko win, saying the Ukrainian beat himself
The next six to nine months will determine whether the 28-year-old from Watford is destined for greatness.
And should he do the business in the ring he will get the adulation from the public he deserves... not all sports stars get that.
Some of our superstars choose not to communicate with their fans and the public and they are then often misunderstood and sometimes not liked.
That big Joshua smile - and the dynamite in his gloves - will catapult him into the stratosphere.
And make him richer than he could have imagined as a young hopeful.
What a story for a guy that has turned his life around and is an inspiration to young people.

Ekenäs Archipelago National Park
Ekenäs Archipelago National Park in the Gulf of Finland is a beautiful part of Nyland archipelago. The park offers good possibilities for boating.
The National Park is located in Western Nyland near the southern coast of Finland and it includes three out of the four archipelago zones: inner and outer archipelago, and the open sea. Almost 90% of the park consists of water areas, and it has no other land areas but islands, such as Älgö, Fladalandet, Modermagan and Jussarö. The private land and water areas inside the National Park are not part of the park, and the park rules and regulations do not apply there either.

Lisa Lorena DeBoer, the daughter of Robert and Sandra (Stevenson) Farmer was born on August 9, 1966 in Butler, PA. She lived in Butler until her mother (Sandra) moved herself and her 2 daughters to Porcupine, SD in 1979. After residing in Porcupine for a year this small family moved to Gordon, NE where her mother met Lester Reese. This was the start of Lisa's small family of 3 extending to a family of 8 by joining her with 4 more siblings, (Jennie, Sherry, Scot, and Bill). She attended school and graduated from Gordon Public School.
Lisa lived most of her life in Gordon where she had overcome many medical problems starting at the early age of 10. She overcame these obstacles by proving doctor's wrong when they said she would never walk or be able to have children.
In August of 1987 Lisa and James Young were united in marriage. From this marriage they were blessed with a daughter Kathryn Lorena Young in November of 1988. Lisa worked as a tax accountant and office manager at H & R Block for 18 years.
During Lisa's life she became a person that many people would turn to for different things and Lisa would always be willing to help. Lisa had a sick sense of humor (as she called it) from calling her loved sister Kissyfer to playing many jokes on friends and family. She was always there to listen to any problem or offer advice when needed. She became a mother to many of her daughter's friends as well as others. She was always willing to extend a helping hand to those who needed. Emma Martian her daughter by love and Johnathon her nephew being two people she took under her wing.
In October of 2007 Lisa met Dwight DeBoer. She always said that Dwight was her soul mate. Lisa and Dwight were united in marriage on May 23, 2009 at their home at Akron, NE. With this union Lisa's family life grew even bigger. She was then blessed with four more children (Chad, Nic, Ryan, and Kayla).
Lisa's family had grown from a small family to a much larger one. She had a heart that could give all her family more than enough love and still have room for more. She was so proud to be able to tell everyone that she had 13 grandchildren.
Lisa leaves behind: her husband Dwight of Akron, NE; three daughters: Kathryn (Nick) Saari of Greeley, CO; Nic (Jason) Hoff of Omaha, NE; Kayla (Rod) Doffin of Winside, NE; two sons: Chad (Tiffany) DeBoer of Lincoln, NE; Ryan (Lindy) DeBoer of Hoskins, NE; 13 grandchildren: Hunter, Ty, Addison, Lauren, Nolan, Mason, Carter, McKenzie, Hayle, Cole, Leighton, and two arriving soon; sister Kristie (Roy) Peterson; mother-in-law Marie DeBoer of Walthall, NE; along with many other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents; brother Scot Reese, and close friend Kory Coon.
Lisa had touched many different people's lives and never realized the impact she had. She will be missed dearly by many people.

In 1907, my grandfather, Don Manuel Francisco Yrarrázaval, arrived in Paris from Chile
and booked himself into the Hôtel du Louvre, opposite the Comédie Française.
He lived there for four years, until his death and, as he had not time to pay for his last year's bill,
the invoice was sent to his family who had remained in Santiago and who were quite panic-stricken upon discovering
the amount. Shortly afterwards, however, they received another letter, announcing that the hotel was
canceling the bill in memory of Don Manuel Francisco, the ideal and incredibly entertaining guest.
Over a century later, I also checked into the Hôtel du Louvre, together with my sister, my parents and my grandparents who once again registered our quite unpronounceable name (for the French) in the hotel register.
My family were used to traveling all over the world and although this trip to Paris was not new either for my parents nor my grandparents, it most certainly was for both my sister and myself who were discovering France after years spent in the Chilean campo. The Louvre Hotel was the first French address my school was given, and my grandparents lived at the hotel for quite a few years afterwards.
These books are inspired by my memories, my strange family and the golden age of travel. They are also my "nod" to those months spent running around that second floor corridors, to those amazing beehives with their formidable teams of workers, where guests often do far more than just pass through.

In 2000 I went into François Marot's office, Chief Editor of the National Geographic Magazine France, with the idea of covering the humanitarian plastic surgery mission to Rwanda in which my husband was taking part. I really wanted to do this story. I knew that we could give this story superb coverage. A few weeks later, I was on my way, accompanied by Patrick Zachmann, photographer with the famous Magnum Agency. We experienced some compellingly moving moments in Kigali hospital, going from one operating room to another from dawn to dusk. I tried to write the best report I could, telling about the outstanding work done by these surgeons who go off and operate on people in need free of charge. This does not happen very often, and I felt it was important to tell people about it. That plastic surgery is not just about cosmetic surgery but also about therapeutic repair. This was also my first contribution to a mythical magazine and collaboration with some fantastic people.

I always wanted to return to Rancagua one day with National Geographic to write about a place that is so dear to me. And between each of the lines I wrote, such tremendous pride, a thousand emotions that had been held back for so long, the scary and reassuring happiness experienced with reunions, the link between my past and my present.

I was very impressed by Robert Redford's organization. An environmentalist but also a businessman. Sundance proves that the two can and do go together, and also that he doesn't take himself too seriously.
I was asked to write about experiences I enjoyed. So off I went to spend an afternoon in an Istanbul hammam. I loved writing these humorous dispatches. But above all, because going to Istanbul's oldest hammam is really quite an experience!
The first time that I was able to put pen to paper about my own country. A faraway part of the world where no-one had ever been. Only a few people even knew where it was. I was so pleased to have a chance of talking about my home land at last, and of showing everyone all the fantastic and positive aspects, far removed from those clichés that I cannot stand.
I suggested the topic and the stories were published as a series the following summer. The idea of writing a book naturally followed. After telling my travel tales, I started to write books that were directly inspired by the life of my family.
Il was the opportunity to write in a more literary way. A love story that starts in Valparaiso and ends in New York. I wanted to write something original for that rare magazine, that published stories of the very best French authors.

|Acts of kindness being observed by little eyes.
Today the weather is changing and Minnesota as a whole is experiencing a wide variety of temperatures and different forms of moisture. From central Minnesota north there is forecasted the chance of snow while here in southeastern Minnesota, we are experiencing rain and perhaps freezing drizzle for this evening. The transition to winter is happening at a fast rate, and I have observed that all of nature is scurrying around feeding heavily with the attempt to fatten up for the cold winter ahead.
Today a wild turkey has been feeding in our meadow, while last night a skunk came to visit looking for food by the house.
|The gathering storms of seasonal change.
Yesterday William and I spent the day outside fixing the snow blower and changing its oil getting it ready for the upcoming snowstorms in the coming months ahead. I remember last year in getting back from Florida, it was a surprise for us all. We discovered that several feet of snow were on our driveway. I had to wade through the deep snow in order to get to the snow blower. I had to cut a path for my family to walk to the house, otherwise our children would not have made it in the deep snow. Now we are getting ready for another vacation, but I feel prepared for the snow that is coming. Two days ago I was caulking on the roof around the vents and smoke stacks, again readying our home for the long winter ahead. When I was on the roof working, Will was throwing away old damaged shingles that were just removed from our rooftop. Like the animals, we too in the North Country are preparing for the cold days ahead.
I remember as a child when the nights got colder, my desire to snuggle up with a book was greatly anticipated. As a little boy, I remember going to a grocery store near our home. The owner, (Mr. Carlson) let me look at his books as well as the comic books with not charge to me. I would read the different books and let my imagination run free. I remember thinking at that time how it would be to visit some of these countries I was reading about. I got so excited that it would lead me to more material on the same subjects. I then would try to find information on these topics from the school library. In looking back, I could see the kind hand of Mr. Carlson allowing me to read in his store. I also recall that I would bring him pop bottles and he would pay me 3 cents a piece for them, and I would buy candy or another comic book or magazine to read. This quiet gentle man touched my life in ways that I will not fully understand here in this life, but I know that by his kindness to me, I was changed in my desire to read.
|Will discovering the autumn wonders.
How many of us looking back can see how one kind act has influenced our lives. I believe that one day when I sit before my Savior, he will show me those points in my life that were changed by what I saw perhaps as insignificant acts of kindness at the time. Now looking back, I can see they were in fact life altering experiences.
Another man that changed my life was my sixth grade teacher, Mr. Como. He was tough and he frightened me at times by his staunch nature. I was having challenges in my life with anger at the time. I was rebellious over losing my favorite 5th grade teacher who left part way through the school year to be a principal in another town. I did not adjust to his substitute and consequently, we locked horns everyday. I went from having As and Bs to Cs and Ds my latter half of 5th grade. I spent so much time in the principal's office the second half of 5th grade that I got to see our principal's job, and what she did appealed to me.
|Deer gathering for the coming winter.
One day when sitting in my usual place in the principal's office, a male teacher stopped, looked down at me and said, "I got you next year boy!" At that moment I remember thinking, "My year was not bad enough, now I have this man to look forward to." Mr. Como saw something in me that no one else did, potential. He was hard on me, but fair. He encouraged me in almost every way and I blossomed and grew. Consequently I forgot about him over the years, but I hadn't realized that my impact on Mr. Como was life altering for him as well. One day many years later, I was sitting at my principal's desk and I remembered Mr. Como and how this one man turned me around in my attitude and my desire to learn. I next checked into the state education database and I found him. He was in the iron range part of Minnesota. In looking at his title, I could see that he was now not a teacher, but a counselor instead. I decided to give him a call and that one phone call changed our mutual lives yet again. Mr. Como had become a school counselor and had left the classroom shortly after having me as a student. I immediately thought of how he must have changed so many children's lives like my own. In my conversation with him on the phone, he revealed to me something very shocking. "Augie, you are the reason I went into counseling students. I saw how it made such a difference in you in the time we spent together, that I wanted to help others like yourself." My life was not the only one that had changed that year, Mr. Como embarked on a life of service in helping many more children throughout the years. Those children who needed his tough love, supportive words, and acts of kindness, just as he had done for me. Being a principal at the time, I saw myself in the same place, helping counselors and teachers in their pursuit in teaching and touching the lives of children.
|Will being asked to captain a boat at Disney World.
Years before becoming a principal, I was an Alternative School teacher and administrator. I worked with many children, much like myself when I was in 5th grade. In looking back, I can see the hand of God in my life in me working with At-Risk students. It was my turn to help lost children just as I had been helped. How many lives have you touched? Has your life been changed in ways that have turned you around? Was it by a man or woman who had gone out of they're way to help you? I believe that God gives us insight into our past at times, to let us see how even small acts of kindness have changed our lives, and that of others.
