GLOBALIZATION IS A term that is used quite frequently but whose meaning remains obscure. One definition of globalization is that is a process of complex interconnections between societies, cultures, institutions, and individuals that takes place worldwide. It also describes the increased mobility of goods, services, labor, technology, and capital. Although globalization is not a new development, it has rapidly increased with the introduction of new technologies. Globalization is often referred to as a contemporary or modern phenomenon, but it can also be studied from a historical perspective; the result of human innovation and technological progress (biotechnologies, miniaturization, digitalization, and photonics). These activities represent more than just the simple globalization of economic activity; they refer to the increasing integration of economies and societies across the world. Unfortunately, not everyone is represented equally in the globalization process as it is affected by wealth, access to global communication media, work, financial assets, and cultural norms.
Therefore, the processes of globalization have been reshaping the geography of the global economy. Globalization is a process in which geographic distances become less a factor in the sustaining of rigid land borders, long-distance economics, and political and socio-cultural relationships. Networks of relationships and cooperation cross land borders and oceans and occur worldwide. As globalization grows, geographic distance is less of a factor as the Earth does not really shrink, but "relative" distances do. Therefore, worldwide networks of agreements/cooperation can be established.
The transformative ability of the globalization process has commonly been associated with both material outcomes in such specific spatial units as localities, regions, and nation-states and peculiar discursive practices by societal partners. At the opposite, many researchers consider that globalization is associated with the declining influence of space in relationships among societies.
The debate on the ideology of globalization can be categorized into four different areas: 1) Free trade globalization is a way to enhance prosperity; 2) the adverse view: the potential dangers of globalization include increasing inequalities, marginalization of some regions or countries, social exclusion, crisis tendencies and simultaneous loss of political control; 3) globalization is thought of as a myth since the theory is not justified by the actual development; and 4) lastly, some economists view globalization as nothing new, as economic affiliation is as intense today as it was before World War I, 100 years ago.
Globalization can also be thought of as an ideology. The slogan of globalization is "Either globalize or perish." As an ideology, globalization implies both the inevitability and the desirability of the tendency toward integration, and not the adverse. On one hand, globalization has been accepted as the unavoidable pathway to economic prosperity and success. If a national country's economy is not performing well, it must be because the economy does not have "enough" economic globalization. On the other hand, anti-globalization views economic globalization as the cause of socioeconomic malaise.
Finance and transnational corporations are the core subjects of economic geography. Any viable geography of finance must have something credible to say about market patterns and processes. The power exerted by finance is represented by the growing role of capital markets in the globalization processes (the rise and spread of institutional investors). The national specificity of capital markets explains why there is not a truly global capital market.
To some people, globalization means the ability of transnational corporations, through the use of free trade agreements and free trade zones, to transform space. Financial liberalization enhances capital mobility and shapes global values. In this view, transnational corporations attempt to dominate the world through the eradication of governmental controls and the homogenization of economies for their own profits, while marginalizing the rest.
The expansion of the role of transnational corporations through the mechanism of foreign direct investment in the world economy is the driving force behind globalization. Furthermore, globalization increases the access to global resources for a small corporate elite. Globalization means the concentration of power and wealth in the few hands of multinational corporations whose only mandate is profit (shareholder value creation). As a result, this leads to disempowerment of civil society and the homogenization of culture worldwide.
From a cultural perspective, there are two positions taken for and against the phenomenon of globalization. It is thought that globalization will lead to a homogenization of culture as people around the world will devalue their local culture and adopt American or Westernized ways. However, the goal of globalization is not that the entire world would become Westernized and capitalist, but that the Western culture becomes the standard by which other cultures measure themselves.
Critics of globalization suggest that globalization is a self-propelling social dynamic; others argue this is not true. In reality, the economic sphere is directed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) with its underlying goal of economic equality in political and cultural influence, through the powerful means of information technology, dominated by the West. The weak cultures may not be able to resist forces of globalization, but third world countries should not be unaware of the "hidden agenda" of globalization. It is argued that the transnational class of elite export a set of values consistent with the American ideology of liberalism and capitalism.
This view argues that globalization is a new form of activity in which a society moves from industrial capitalism to a postindustrial idea of economic relationships. This change is driven by a revolution among the techno-industrial elite that will eventually consolidate into a single global market. Recently, the information technology revolution has opened up new possibilities of communications and monitoring abilities across long distances, and has made it easier for transnational corporations to outsource some parts of their business.
There is a widening structural differentiation of goods and services that have spread influence across traditional political borders and economic sectors, and it has resulted in the greater influence of political and economic changes. These changes have transnational and multinational dynamics that are a major influence on outcomes in determining "issue-areas" (for instance, environment, trade, and world regulation) and may encourage global and local companies to be more autonomous from a traditionally exclusive government decision-making and policy. Globalization can also be considered as the result of a larger building process of the world market.
Nevertheless, globalization is neither uniform nor homogeneous. There is a marked difference between the degree of globalization as reflected in trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and international finance. Its boundaries are unclear and its constituent elements and multidimensional character have yet to be adequately explored. Some scientists have considered globalization as a first step to complex interdependence, which accepts the notion of transnational interpenetration. Other experts contend that globalization modifies deeply the structural framework of rational choice in world relations, since the role of the key factor that commonly defines both international and domestic relations (that is, the government) is subject to a critical structural transformation. The government commonly faces crises of both organizational efficiency toward the consumer and institutional legitimacy toward the citizen.
Therefore, there is a need to understand and propose new governance structures and mechanisms at the global and local levels, encompassing political and social needs of the government, social movements, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), grassroots movements, the media, transnationals, organized citizens, the science community, and religious movements.
Historically, economic activity has been tied to geographic location. This relationship emerged around 1000 C.E., as political-military organization (empires, monarchies) absorbed autonomous cities that were the centers of economic activity in their geographic territory. The geographic merger of military and economic activities was transformed into a modern global interstate system that demarcates the physical boundaries of the world today.
To understand economic geography is to see the world as a mosaic of regions. Many researchers associate globalization with deterritorialization, where a variety of socioeconomic activities take place irrespective of the geographical location of the individuals or activities. One of the paradoxes addressed by researchers is why there has been a growth of dynamic local economies at a time when places are increasingly under the influence of, and threat of competition from, distant places—threats that are a consequence of the globalization of the markets. One of the possible answers to this question is that local technological dynamism depends on local non-tradable assets such as trust or social capital. Does one refer to geography as preexisting spatial configurations that simply do not wither away in the midst of globalization processes? Or perhaps more significant, what is the explanatory relationship between geography and globalization? Is geography simply an outcome of globalization that poses as the cause? How does geography matter in our explanations of globalization? This last question points to a significant inversion of cause (geography) and outcome (globalization).
On the other hand, many of the contemporary views on trade theory and international economics predict that globalization will lead to more intra-industry specialization because of locational concentration. Territory, in the sense of a traditional sense of a geographically identifiable location, no longer constitutes the whole.
The rise of globalization seeks to capture the twoway interaction of global processes and local conditions to generate new adaptations. Globalization is associated with the production of new scales in economic and political space. It enhances the importance of supra-national and subnational scale processes. In particular, it underlies the arguments of a number of economic geographers that localized agglomerations of economic activity are a product of globalization. While this may be shown at the local level within the nationstate, it may also be argued at a more macro-level in such a regional formation as the EUROPEAN UNION (EU), seeking to define a "European identity" for its member states in a new global era. The hegemony of neo-liberal ideology is about the triumph of market-oriented ideology, the economization of life, mass consumption and entertainment, deregulation, and so on. It is a global ideological breakthrough in which democracy is considered to be a twin of the market economy, and these together are supported to form a winning team.
Frequently, it is theorized that economic globalization leads to deepening income inequality and unemployment. Similarly, debates on the winners and losers of economic globalization have also demonized globalization as a mythical juggernaut that is powerful enough to cause all sorts of socioeconomic miseries and political problems. More specifically, the intrinsic spatiality of economic globalization sets some necessary, but not sufficient, preconditions for it to effect empirical changes and outcomes. To define the spatiality of economic globalization, we have to look into specific geographic foundations that presuppose and legitimize economic globalization: the transcendence and switchability of geographic scales and discursive practices as socio-spatial constructions. When coupled with other substantive political-economic forces, these geographic preconditions—not economic globalization per se—help to explain empirical consequences and outcomes.
Additionally, economic globalization represents a major transformation in the territory of key economic sectors. To what extent it also represents a possible transformation in the structures of politicoeconomic power is a difficult question. The major dynamics at work in the global economy contain the capacity to undo the interaction of sovereignty and territory embedded in the modern state system. This does not necessarily mean that sovereignty is less of a feature under conditions of globalization. Rather, it may signal the relocation of some components of state sovereignty onto supranational authorities. Similarly, economic globalization does not eliminate the government's exclusive control over its territory, but alters the particular type of institutional encasing of territory that has developed since World War II.
Globalization is the focus for popular fears about American power, the might of big business, the pace of economic change, and a sense of powerlessness in the face of intangible global forces. The debate is increasingly polarized between market fundamentalists and anticapitalists.
To satisfy short-term institutional investors and inflate the value of their share options, bosses gamble with their companies' future to ramp up the stock price. Unsurprisingly, trust in the financial system has evaporated since the collapse of Enron, Worldcom, Ahold, Parmalat, and others.
The debate over globalization can be broken up into two main camps: the globalists and the skeptics. Globalists claim that globalization is a new transformation of world order and a positive change. They point to the interchanges between cultures, economies, and people. They herald the time-space compression as a seamless means for fixing many of the world's problems.
The skeptics, on the other hand, do not think that globalization is occurring, or if they do, they think it is a negative phenomenon. The skeptics also point to the growing size of state budgets, nationalism, and agreements between countries in regions, all processes that are regional, not global.
Globalization, as a myth, is the belief is that we are witnessing a process of regionalization with competing trade blocs. International economic integration has tended to be a regional rather than a global phenomenon. That is, the linkages among the world's economies have tended to be stronger, within defined geographic regions or blocs, than between those regions. Examples of these groups or blocs would include NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), the EU, and Asian regional organizations. A regional pattern is clearly evident in the data on global trade flows. For the three regions cited above (which together account for about 80 percent of global gross domestic product), intra-regional trade in goods now accounts for 50 percent or more of exports. Also, it is clear that formal regional trade agreements such as NAFTA and the EU potentially foster intraregional trade.
Globalization versus localization suggests that distance matters, irrespective of transportation costs, so that spatial proximity of countries influences sales patterns over and above regional trade liberalization. It also seems clear that borders matter irrespective of distance. Globalization is sometimes credited with or blamed for influencing both domestic economic performance and the capacity of domestic policies to effect changes in that performance.
The power of national governments is reinforced, not weakened. The structural adjustments of the World Bank and IMF (International Monetary Fund), bilateral conditions, rationalization of existing structures, and new regimes under the WTO are factors that aid the globalization process. These processes are closing the policy choices for developing countries, which are losing their options. Developing countries are struggling to cope with the new conditions of development and survival. The process of globalization exacerbates the existing poverty and inequality situations within and among countries. Also, globalization is accompanied by the rising of inequalities within and between countries. Consequently, globalization can expose the internal problems and tensions among the states, societies, transnational corporations, and other global factors. The current agenda will be to delineate the path to achieve sustainable development and minimize the risks.

text: This book is primarily a witness account of these men and women who build a place for themselves between here and there. It is the first study on Moroccan migrant groups as far as how they are implicated in development. The author approaches the relationship between migration and development from a new angle in questioning it not in terms of the material effects of migration on development, but the reasons migrants are implicated in the process. Thomas Lacroix refreshes our approach to transnationalism, analyzing the melting pot where a new migratory identity is being invented-a new style of integration.

I've lost my mind.
That's the only explanation for it.
He's my best friend's boyfriend. I broke every girl-code out there when I let him kiss me.
And then what happened after…
But the dating agency set us up. And I couldn't say no to those gorgeous gray eyes focused only on giving me pleasure.
I just wanted to lose my virginity. Now I'm afraid I'll lose Logan.
What happens when I tell him I'm pregnant?
She blew me away when she walked in the room.
Olive skin and bright blue eyes that scratch an itch I never knew I had.
When I was with her best friend, I wouldn't dare think about how much I wanted Ava.
Except in my dreams.
Now Ava's here for real. In my arms, in my bed…
Mine. Forever.
But when I wake up, will she still be here?
Customer Reviews
This was a good book! There was drama involved with the "best friend" and the true love between the other friend and boyfriend. I have read this book twice now and I will definitely read it again. I love it when the right people get together.
I have just started reading book 2 but am really enjoying the books
Great story, protagonist was a bit more forgiving of crazy friend than i think i could have been. and maybe a bit harsh on the hunk in bed.
Eva & Logan, I really liked there story. Eva and Camilla are best friends and Logan is Camilla's boyfriend but when secrets are revealed Logan dumps Camilla. Fate has a way of bringing 2 people together and fate definitely wants Eva with Logan. I liked the characters except Camilla at times, she wasn't exactly the best friend of the year and was completely harsh too Eva. But all in all it was a good story and the ending was perfect.
My Best Friend's Boyfriend by Amy Brent was another well written story, it was exciting frustrating and entertaining. The characters are a mix of personalities, Ava is a bit innocent who is ready to lose that V card, so she joins a dating site and they set her up with her best friends boyfriend, omg there has to be a mistake. Logan can't believe his luck the dating site has set him up with Ava, he never would have imagined this when he was with her best friend but now is his time, he only hopes she wants forever. This is where the real excitement starts with some bumps along the way. I really enjoyed this fun and entertaining book. I recommend this book, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. (less)

CSSIgniter has additionally established two plugins that are utilized to bring some of the functionality to the topics and the sites that are constructed with them. This means that if you do use these features on your site, and opt to change theme supplier later on, you can still keep those components on your site complete, providing the plugins are still active.
Using the Topics from CSSIgniter
To test out the functionality of these themes from CSSIgniter, I took the newly released Uberto, which can be described as a beautiful blogging theme for WordPress, to get a test drive.
As soon as you've signed up as a client, possibly for access to a single theme or all 60 themes, the topics you have access to may be downloaded from the member area of the site.
One nice feature I noticed immediately was that you can download previous versions of a theme. This could come in handy should you need to get the original source documents for backup purposes, or to roll back any changes you've made to the theme files in use on your site.
You can also quickly get into the documentation for every theme and download the sample content.
Once the theme has been triggered on your site you can import the presentation content, and in the event of Uberto includes pages and posts, as well as the widget configuration, or go straight to the theme preferences control panel to prepare the theme.

CSSIgniter Theme Options Control Panel
The user interface of this motif settings is fairly close to the native WordPress UI, which makes it simple to use, while also helping it to incorporate quite well into the rest of the admin dashboard on your website.
During the control panel you have access to the following configurations, although these can vary depending upon the CSSIgniter theme You're using:
Publish logos and favicon
Colour choices: select a color scheme or set custom colors
Display options: excerpts and featured image handling|}
Archive options: number of posts to display
Set up social media integration
Google Analytics, Feedburner, and BuySellAds integration
Insert custom CSS
There is not a whole lot which you could do via the motif options control panel, in comparison to some feature-heavy themes on the market, but if you appreciate simplicity and too little bloat, then these themes will appeal to you.
The motif settings panel also includes quick links to the support and documentation pages on the web site for the theme you're using.
Should you choose to import the sample content, your site will be populated using a choice of articles, and other content, each with picture place holders that will assist you to get a better sense of how the subject works.
As previously mentioned, one of the common features shared by the CSSIgniter themes is the built in color variations. These allow you to change the main colour scheme on your site by simply choosing an option from the dropdown menu.
The motif alternatives for the CSSIgniter themes is easy to use and provide you a fair amount of control on how your site appears.
Support, Documentation and Services|}
Each theme includes its own set of documentation which is saved on the internet. The documents walk you through the setup process for the subject and describe how to use it, with more information on some of the advanced theme-specific features.
In the first case support is offered through the members only encourage forums. Only customers can access the forums, which makes it a place to discover questions that have already been answered or post your own issues directly related to the CSSIgniter themes.
There's also a general section with frequently asked questions, reviews, and hints for new topics and features.
When browsing the forums it seemed that the subjects were responded to quickly with helpful responses being posted by the service staff. However, to test the ceremony I did post a few questions that arose when installing and utilizing their subjects.
Both questions I submitted in the forums were responded to quickly by the support staff. In 1 case I was given the necessary code to make the changes I wanted, and in the other I was supplied with a URL to the relevant documentation on the website. I was pleased with all the timely and helpful answers in both cases, particularly considering this happened on the weekend, even out of office hours.

CSSIgniter also offer you a few premium services to help you get your website up and running as swiftly as possible. These services include:
Theme installation & setup: $49 one-time fee|}
Theme customization: $99 one-time fee
Theme design & development: $49 per hour
Therefore, if you haven't got a WordPress site on line yet, or do not have the time to setup a new motif, these services are well worth taking advantage of for their time saving abilities.
The topics from CSSIgniter can be found on three pricing strategies:
Single motif: $39
All subjects (standard): $49|}
All themes (developer): $79
With each plan, you may use the themes as often as you would like, on multiple sites, including client projects.
All plans include support and updates for a year, after which time you'll be able to go on using the themes unsupported, or register for one more year in order to retain access to support and updates.
CSSIgniter plan to include one or two new topics each month. Any topics released while your membership is active will be accessible for you to download.
It is possible to view the complete details of the plans onto the pricing page.
CSSIgniter has built up a large portfolio of premium WordPress themes that cover a fantastic selection of uses and project types. The topics look really good and their designs are well suited to the type of projects they have been built for.
Even though the most popular topics at marketplaces such as ThemeForest are all feature-heavy, multipurpose ones that are often accused of being poorly supported, inefficiently coded, and resource intensive, it's nice to see that a team such as CSSIgniter offering a different, together with cleanly designed topics which have been constructed for a particular purpose, which have not been weighed down with excess features for the sake of it.
The service provisions in place are great and it's wonderful to see cheap setup and customisation services being offered to help users get their website up and running fast with no hassle.
While WordPress does not have to be hard to use, for new users, installing WordPress and preparing a motif has the capability to be a real-time suck, and just a barrier to entry. For all these reasons it is wonderful to find a means to overcome this being offered for the ones that want it.
If you want a generic multipurpose theme, packed out with all the latest bells and whistles that you might never use, then these topics might not be for you. But if you want clean designs that were tailored for particular functions, then the CSSIgniter topics could be just what you are looking for.
With access to all 60 of the themes for only $49, and the ability to use them on numerous websites, including customer sites, CSSIgniter is a cheap and practical choice. WordPress Themes For Professional Services

Until recently, I was sticking with android firefox 46.0.1 because android firefox 47.0+ stopped working correctly (in desktop mode) with google's image search results page. (This was before google removed the "View image" button from it's images search results. See this bug report by me for details.
Recently, I started looking at firefox's add-ons to see if any new(ish) add-ons fixed the problem in later versions of android firefox (because I doubted that mozilla would). I found some add-ons that do so (although they don't seem to have been created until after google removed the "View image" button from it's images search results.)
After that, I tried to install an add-on that gives us the "Page info" function (one of many functions that mozilla removed from android firefox). I've used one in android firefox 46.0.1, & it works fine there. This is that add-on.
However, now that I'm testing android firefox 62 beta, I get this error message
"Not compatible with firefox quantum" (pretty stupid of their error message to hide the fact that that mean versions later than 56).
That REALLY makes android firefox 57+ useless to me, because I literally used "Page info" (thanks to that add-on) far more than EVERY other browser function combined ! Only "Inspect element" (also missing) is more important to me.
Anyway, I looked for any other "Page info" add-ons at all for android firefox, but I didn't find any others. This gives me 2 choices. Either use v56 (maybe even earlier), or else get used to not having the "Page info" function. However, before I go back to using v56 (I plan to test v80 or v90 IF I can ever get this phone rooted so that I can back up my bookmarks (stupid android)), I'll ask anyone here if they know of any "Page info" add-ons for android firefox v57+. Anyway, thanks whether you do find another add-on or not.

Rather than opening a Miles Davis thread that will remain almost empty, I open this thread to speak about all Jazz albums.
Many of them sell loads since decades and reached incredible sales. I will start with the absolute Classic album Kind Of Blue. Figures that I have got for it:
Certified 4xPlatinum by the RIAA in 2008. This award appears to concern sales from around 1991 to 2008 only. Indeed, it sold 3m copies according to Soundscan alone, it was first certified Gold in 1993. It sold in particular 105k in 1995 according to Soundscan.
Since he passed in 1991, we may think the album started to sell well that year, which explains why it wasn't certified before. While it is obvious that his death may have increased his catalog sales, it would be a huge mistake to think this album wasn't selling before. Allmusic point out 2 positions for this album in the US: #37 in the Jazz album chart in 1977 and #10 in the same chart in 1987. The question is, how much as it sold from 1959 to 1991? It sold an average of 220k per year in the last 18 years, even assuming only 60k per year from 59 to 91, that adds 2 more millions to the 4 millions certified.
Certified Gold in April 1998 for sales from... April 1997. It charted 12 weeks in those 12 months, peaking at 92, it was certainly selling well on Music Clubs too. Charted 3 weeks in 2000 peaking at 164, it had a huge year 2001 charting 33 weeks and peaking at 63, selling an estimated 75k in that year. Sales around 20k/year since then. That is 100k + 75k + 20k*8 = 335k in the last 11 years.
Still sales of 38 years missing...
Double Gold in 99 for sales 63-99, Platinum in 2000 for sales 63-2000. We can doubt those sales were completely audited yet, especialy since it jumped from 200k to 300k within' 4 months, showing they were always checking data, we do not know if it sold just 300k, 400k or 599k by that time.
In 2000 (it was certified in January), it charted 2 non-consecutive weeks in the top 75 album chart. Let assume 40k sold. In 2001 it charted as high as #29 in the main chart, it was most of the year in the top 150. Sales estimated at 60-70k for that year. It stills sell pretty well every year, it charted 11 weeks in the top 40 catalog chart in 2008 for example. It sold around 220k since it was certified Platinum. Depending on how comprehensive this award was, it shipped anywhere from 550k to 800k since its release in France.
Impossible to know how much it sold since its release, but it was #14 last week! It peaked at #22 in 2005 too. Massive catalog sales.
Certified Platinum (100k) in 1996. Again, we do not know from when sales were covered. Since the beginning of the catalog chart of Netherlands (from 2002 I think), it charted 138 weeks on it (a top 50).
We can add that it sold 1.1 million copies out of the US in 1997 + 1998. It is widely reported since at least 2004 as a 10 million selling album.
Feel free to post every figure/comment related to Jazz.

Preventing Loan extensions tip
01/04/14 08:17
Borrowers can have their issues extended simply by using the Extend function at the top of the issue screen.
Currently, Athenaeum does not restrict the number of times that an item can be extended (there is a feature request to be able to flexibly limit this that is being considered).
However, there is a simple way to prevent issue extensions.
Simply reserve the item. Athenaeum will then deny the issue request.

I'll admit, I have quite a back log of posts I want to work on since I've been busy exploring everything Buenos Aires for the past two weeks AND taking 16 hours of Spanish classes per week.
One of the most exciting and interesting things I've done so far here is attend a futbol game. We took the subway and the bus out to San Lorenzo's stadium to see San Lorenzo play Lanus. These are Argentinian futbol's equivalent of minor league teams, with many player who may eventually play for the Argentinian National team or in Europe.
The game ended 1-0 with Lanus winning, which wasn't all that exciting, though that didn't seem to matter to the San Lorenzo fans. The crowd was intense! They sang and chanted and yelled for basically the entire 90 minutes and then some. There was no alcohol sold at the game, but that didn't matter to the incredibly passionate fans.
During the game we of course learned some new choice Spanish vocabulary for outside of the classroom, but the best part was a very sarcastic man behind us who kept saying "muy bien" and saying that the team should invite their mothers to play in their place.
The game was a lot of fun, and if the school schedule permits, I'd love to go to another one! Now I just need to figure out which team's jersey I want to buy before I go home.
(Thanks to Lauren for the group picture)

Download: Send-ToSlack
As previously commented I had been exploring the use of Slack and integration with other tools. One use case was to send messages to channels within Slack when certain steps in an automated workflow were triggered and to provide notification of the status upon completion.
Therefore, I created a Windows PowerShell function that would post a message to a specified slack channel using the Web API methods available, which according to Slack:
The Slack Web API allows you to build applications that interact with Slack in more complex ways than the integrations we provide out of the box.
Currently, my requirement is only to post messages and therefore the function only provides support for the chat.PostMessage method to posts a message to a public channel, private group, or IM channel.
In order to provide authentication to the API this can be achieved by a bearer token to identify a single user which uses a generated full-access token, see 'https://api.slack.com/web' for more details and to generate/retrieve your bearer token information.
If you plan to authenticate several users, it is recommended to use OAuth2 by registering your application. Currently, this method for authenticatin is not supported within the function.
The function uses the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet to send a request to the URL 'https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage' and provide the arguments for generating the message that will be posted to the specified Slack channel. The protocol 'https' is specified as all methods must be called using this protocol.
The 'chat.PostMessage' method has mandatory requirements to specify the token, channel and text arguments. In addition, the function currently provides the ability to specify the 'icon' and 'username' arguments when posting a message.
The response will contain a JSON object, which contains a top-level boolean property which indicates success of failure. In the event of an error posting the message to the slack channel conditional logic is used to determine if the response contains an error '"ok":false' and processing the string to terminate with an error and return the machine-readable error code.
On successfully posting a message to a channel, you will receive a customised output to the console session to confirm. The success code is determined by the response containing the string '"ok":true'.
Send-ToSlack -Channel "#apitest" -Text "This is a test message generated by the function Send-ToSlack" -Token "xoxp-17822671332-9811436111-15776151506-a5a9c3855" Successfully sent the message to the slack channel #apitest.
In addition, to the above the function also provides the ability to encrypt your bearer token using an encryption key and retrieve the string using the 'System.Management.Automation.PSCredential' class.

A chimney extension can be needed for different reasons. Not only that it solves possible problems with the chimney draught, but it can also be necessary for example in case of a raise of roof. With its cap the extension protects your chimney from rain and snow, as well as from nest-building. To simplify the cleaning it is possible to open the chimney extension.

May 25, 2014
While the federal government under Barack Obama is refusing to combat the cartels—which are, after all, heavily armed by firearms that the ATF provided and the DOJ refuses to account for—local police seem to be left largely on their own in the border regions to defend the citizenry as cartels surge across an undefended southern border.
Interestingly enough, Dave Kopel provides the constitutional mechanism to supply the manpower to turn back this tide with or without the support of a corrupt and feckless federal government, in the use of the modern posse comitatus
… the "power of the county" does indeed dovetail with the Second Amendment
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that it is not a violation of constitutional rights if police break down a citizen's door, search the home, and confiscate firearms, so long that they believe it is in the citizen's best interest.
» ATF's rifle sales reporting requirement shenanigans look stranger all the time
The requirement, dating back to 2011, calls for gun dealers in the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas to report to the BATFE every time they sell more than one semi-automatic, detachable magazine-fed rifle over .22 caliber to the same purchaser within five days.
… alert reader Chris Meissen noticed another qualifier that was in the original proposal, and missing in the current one. In this proposal, there is no mention that the multiple sales have to be to the same purchaser, as is explicitly stated in the original proposal. In other words, if the BATFE gets its way, it can demand sales details from every gun store that sells two or more so-called "assault weapons" in a five-day period–no matter if each is sold to separate purchasers.
Again, why change the language of the proposal, unless you are proposing something different? And again, even if the BATFE is not seeking the power to enforce such a requirement, if the proposal is approved, they will have it–and this is not an organization known for refraining from use of every bit of power it can get its hands on.
LESSON NO. 1: If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and take you someplace you do not want to go because of who you are or what you think — kill him. If you can, kill the politician who sent him.
LESSON NO. 2: If a bureaucrat, or a soldier sent by a bureaucrat, comes to knock down your door and confiscate your firearms — kill him. The disarmament of law-abiding citizens is the required precursor to genocide.
LESSON NO. 3: If a bureaucrat tells you that he must know if you have a firearm so he can put your name on a list for the common good, or wants to issue you an identity card so that you be more easily identified — tell him to go to hell.
LESSON NO. 5: Our constitutional republic as crafted by the Founders is the worst form of government in the world, except when compared to all the others. Capitalism, as well, is a terrible way to run an economy, except when compared to all other economic systems.
LESSON NO. 6: While nations do not always get the leaders they deserve, they always get the leaders they tolerate.
Say what you will about the Obama White House's passive indifference to everything from the Department of Veterans Affairs to Americans taking fire on foreign soil, but their political spin team moves like lightning
… if you've got the attention span to resist Obama's efforts to drag this story out until it fades away, you'll recall how much emphasis the White House placed on their phony excuses about the CIA misleading them on the matter of the Video of Doom. President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Vice President Joe Biden were happy to throw the intelligence community under the bus – they made a really big deal about it during the last month of the 2012 election. And here's a smoking-gun memo that proves none of their excuses were ever true; they were hustling that Spontaneous Video Protest story while the attack was still in progress, at a moment when nobody on the ground in Libya thought the video was more than an extremely tangential part of the situation, at best.
Everything we've learned over the past few years, including these latest revelations, is consistent with a President and Secretary of State who put politics and the 2012 election campaign over everything else, including the lives of the Americans under attack… because they were calling YouTube to rail about the video before the terrorists' guns fell silent. Nobody did anything to even try helping the people who were taking fire, but they had time to hassle YouTube?
The American people needed to know that Barack Obama and his people think about politics and spin first when a crisis hits, before they voted in November 2012. It is a dereliction of the media's duty that the true story was obscured until after the election was over.
One wonders at what point "startling honesty" became a bad thing …
By its very nature, honesty will not always yield pretty results, nor is it likely invariably to satisfy the claims of the zeitgeist; human nature being fallible, anybody charged with revealing his soul will almost certainly impart sincerely acquired misinformation, a good dose of old-fashioned irrationality, and a reliance upon stereotypes; and, conversations being organic and unpredictable things, any discussion that ranges into uncharted or precarious territory is certain to bring up topics that societies tend to prefer to keep quiet. Do we want that or do we not?
Apparently, we do not.
the cynics are right when they claim that the sort of people who call for a "dialogue" in this area really want to hear a lecture, and that those who are ostensibly seeking merely to arrange a forum in which they can ask people what they think wish only that the people with the wrong views will out themselves with sufficient probity that they might be pilloried in public.
… Who among us will bare our souls if only to have stakes driven through them by our self-appointed judges? Not Mark Cuban. Not me. Not anybody else in the nation of cowards.
» White Privilege: Uh … It's More Like Radical Gay, Black and Muslim Privilege
… if I liked to check Jethro's oil like say … uh … Clay Aiken does, I could call a perceived enemy female political pundit the "C" word in a tweet and encourage people to punch her in the face — and I could still be the media's darling, run for Congress and actually have a chance in Hades of winning after such abhorrent behavior.
Wouldn't it also be kinda cool to lambaste a basketball team owner and a cattleman as vile racists, all the while having a more revolting track record and a recent video of one's self saying substantially worse things, and walk away unscathed like Al Sharpton does on a regular basis?
It would also be neat to demand that people bow to my beliefs and change everything they do to accommodate my faith like Islam does. If they don't like bacon, Kate Upton's ample assets, women being educated or Pharrell's song "Happy", then, by Allah, curtsy and kiss the ring. But that ain't happening for me because no one gives a crap about what a Reformed Presbyterian wants or is offended by.
The delaying tactics are painfully obvious. In one voice, everyone from President Obama and Secretary for Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki, to Administration flacks and congressional Democrats, is saying: slow down, wait for more reports, forget about this story, stop asking what Obama's been doing for the last five years.
The endgame is easy to see: crucial news cycles will roll by with friendly media having nothing fresh to report – because we've got to wait for more studies and reports before jumping to any conclusions, don't you know! – and the tides of the 24-hour news grind will wash the whole thing away. It's Fast and Furious, Benghazi, ObamaCare, and the IRS scandal all over again, except it's even more transparent this time.

Obama is on record saying that climate change "once considered an issue for the distant future, has moved firmly into the present" and is "affecting Americans right now." Climate change as studied by climatologists is measured in terms of centuries whereas the weather is what is happening today. It has been happening before and since the rise of civilization. Obama's claim that "climate-related changes are outside of recent experience" and "have become more frequent and/or intense" is a lie from start to finish.
… A cooling cycle that began around fourteen years ago could lead to another mini-ice age or the planet could be on the cusp of a full-fledged one. On average, the interglacial periods of the Earth have lasted about 11,500 years and we are at the end of such a period.
… It makes one wish that all the talk about "greenhouse gases" is true enough to help us escape from the present cooling.
Remember the 2012 presidential elections when Republican presidential candidates Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman and Newt Gingrich failed to receive the required 10,000 signatures for a ballot placement in the important state of Virginia? They did not end up on the ballot, but Democrats in Michigan have better fortunes. Congressman John Conyers, running for yet another opportunity to screw the American people through his congressional privilege, allowed non-registered voters to circulate petitions gathering names for his run, and — the petitions failed to get the required 1,000 VALID signatures. After the INVALID names were removed, Conyers had only about 400 presumed VALID names. The petitions were still circulated by unqualified persons. The Michigan Secretary of State said Conyers' name would not be on the ballot and cited the state's "purity of the ballot access process," but a Detroit federal judge cited Conyers' "good intentions." Guess who won.
Captain Paul Fields has lost his court battle in the Tenth Circuit, Paul Fields v. City of Tulsa, addressing his refusal to attend the Masjid al-Salam mosque for their self-described "Discover Islam Classes for Non-Musims." Captain Fields was ordered to attend a learning (enlightenment) event at the mosque in 2011. Fields has been a model police officer for 17 years, yet was permanently demoted for his Christian beliefs. The higher court refused to consider his "religious objection" claim ….
Why is this letter addressed to Rep. Michele Bachmann? Because she is one of the few members of Congress with the courage and stamina to stand up to the Beltway elites in both parties. She isn't running for reelection, so she presumably doesn't care whose feathers she ruffles.

Tips on Potty Training
Is Your Newfoundland Potty Trained Enough?
House Training a puppy or adult Newfoundland is such an essential issue for its owner that even a single exclusive tip turns out to be extremely helpful.
The first step in making your Newfoundland fit for polite company would be to potty train them. For me, it is part of bringing up a pet. There are a few things you need to know before you actually start potty training a puppy or adult Newfoundland. Please review below:
You need to understand your dog's body language. Watch for signs that will indicate to you when your pet wants to eliminate.
If you own puppies, remember that they need to go potty at fairly frequent intervals - as soon as they wake up, after short naps, after play-time, after meals, before and after being crated and finally, before retiring for the night.
Take your Newfoundland for walks at the time that he usually does his potty. Take him out to the yard and then to the same place there every time he needs to answer nature's call.
Praise your Newfoundland after he eliminates at the right place. Some Newfoundland owners even give treats to their dogs. But remember to do this every time he does it right. He will relate the rewards to his having "done it right" and zero in on the spot where you want him to defecate regularly.
With time, you can try signal training. This is so that you know when your newfie wants to go. You can hang a bell at his level near the door and teach him to push it with his nose or pat it with his paw on his way out.
Until your Newfoundland has been fully potty trained keep him under strict vigilance. Do not let him roam around the house freely.
Use a crate. A crate-trained Newfoundland is usually very happy to get his own den. The advantage of crating is that dogs do not soil the place where they sleep. So, he will naturally not eliminate inside the crate.
If you have a small dog and if you live in a high-rise building or in a place that does not have a proper backyard, you can try litter pan training. What you do is create a space for your pet to eliminate in your house itself.
Use positive reinforcements while housebreaking puppies or adult dogs. Do not scold or hit him as you will gain nothing by doing that. He will only associate punishment with your return from outside. If you catch him in the act, a stern 'NO' or 'FREEZE' will do. It will startle the Newfoundland enough for him to stop pooping.
Be prepared to return to a soiled home if you are keeping your Newfoundland home alone for more than 4 hours as separation anxiety is quite common among home - alone dogs.
Accidents will happen. It is unusual for a trained adult Newfoundland to work against its house training. But medical problems or health disorders may lead to sudden accidents.
Many dogs mark their territory. These can be a leg of a table or a particular wall. Intact male and female dogs mark their territories by urinating. Use deodorizers to spray on the places where your Newfoundland has marked.
If you are patient and are ready to accept that house training a dog takes time, even months sometimes, you will end up having a good housetrained Newfoundland.
Potty Training A Puppy:
Irrespective of breeds, housetraining a puppy is considered to be one of the biggest challenges by dog owners. If you think housetraining your puppy simply involves a steady supply of old newspapers, then think again.
A puppy does not develop full control over his bladder until it is over 4 or 5 months old. Since they are growing and developing rapidly at this time, puppies eat more, burn more calories and need to eliminate more frequently than an adult Newfoundland.
After each nap, meal, drink or play, take your puppy to his designated area (indoors or outdoors, wherever you have decided) and stay there until it eliminates. Then bring him to his crate.
Repeat this situation everyday until he has developed a habit out of it.
Potty Training An Adult Newfoundland:
The best way to housetrain an adult Newfoundland is to begin all over again.
Observe him very closely. Maybe even maintain a diary of where he goes and when. Whether he is pooping when you are home or only when you are outside; whether you can time yourself to be home when he feels the need to go outside.
You can try dog crates, but be careful to introduce gradually to them. Remember, commitment, consistency and intelligent use of positive reinforcement will make you the owner of a perfectly housetrained Newfoundland. Don't expect miracles. You will only be disappointed.

It was a way of organizing, retaining and passing on of real knowledge, esoteric beliefs and establishing social control. The Abrahamic religions have their roots in the establishment of agriculture in a hostile arid environment of the Middle East where obedience to a central authority became a dominant philosophical and ethical prerogative.

Some people do not even know about Facebook, others do not care to be on Facebook, some enjoy keeping up with friends and some are downright outspoken………freedom of the press. I have always been opinionated and have no problem sharing that opinion where others may think it but do not share. I will remain true to myself – freedom of speech. This is a terrible time for people like me but I try to remember that everyone has the right to have their own opinion – right or wrong.
As this disease slowly progresses my moods along with my opinions are harder to keep in check. Instead of tolerance and understanding I get looks and remarks like "WE don't discuss things like that" – well guess what – I DO. My days are exhausting and more so when I have to tip toe on eggshells. I am the real thing and you get what you see. No filters as it's too much work. If you do not want to hear me then stay away. If you want to understand me and this disease I welcome your friendship.
For those who enjoy a little Facebook you will find these quirky little quizzes. How Facebook comes up with the results is beyond me. Here is one I did recently – quite amusing:
"You are a loving and kind person! That is why you always remain on the right path and would never even think about hurting another person. You don't accept injustice of any kind and can get a little mean when you encounter it. You don't hide who you are and always stay true to yourself. Stay the way you are!
Memory loss is the symptom everybody worries about the most with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. It's the main focus. After all, it's distressing — and increasingly obvious. Yet there are other common symptoms of Alzheimer's or dementia that can turn up even earlier, researchers say. Most people do not associate these symptoms with dementia.
Sometimes, as I stated before, even doctors miss early dementia signs because they're focused on memory loss to the exclusion of other symptoms.
It has been found that more than a third of adults who go on to develop early-onset Alzheimer's (the kind that appears before age 65) have the following symptoms early in the disease, even before memory loss is apparent. These symptoms can also be the first to appear among adults who develop Alzheimer's after age 65.
I may have touched on these signs in past posts but if you're like me you may have forgotten!!
#1: Personality change
A warm, friendly loved one may seem to morph into a bit of a grouch — at first occasionally, and then increasingly. A personable person still jokes and talks a lot but begins to say inappropriate things or make odd accusations. A mild-mannered loved one begins cursing, as was the case of my Mother. All of these are examples of the kinds of personality changes that can predate memory loss in someone with dementia. Often, it's only later that friends and family look back and realizes that behaviors they found off-putting or upsetting weren't intentional but related to the Alzheimer's.
#2: Problems with executive functioning
Trouble carrying out basic, familiar tasks can creep up slowly but surely. The person may, for example, have difficulty doing something that involves multiple steps, like following written directions or instructions. A longtime cook may avoid complicated recipes ( I can not handle a recipe with more than 5 ingredients). A hobbyist may simplify the form of his or her craft.
Other trouble areas: making plans and not following through, whether for a vacation or an activity. Not being able to solve simple problems, things they were once an easy fix. Not being able to keep track of bills and expenses.
#3: Vision problems
Problems with depth perception or visual-spatial coordination can precede memory problems. The person may have trouble driving or even walking well without tripping on stairs. It can be hard to judge distances or see contrasts between like colors, which can lead to accidents. In a more severe example of a perception problem, the person may not recognize himself or herself in a mirror or when passing his or her reflection in a building or window on the street. Not that I enjoy looking at myself but I am thankful that part of dementia is not a problem.
#4: Language problems
Word retrieval and getting out the right words can become apparent before friends and family notice the more common communication problem of repeating stories or questions. YES, that is me for sure. An example is when a person having trouble may stop in the middle of a sentence, unable to think of the next word. (This can happen to anyone, but when it's a sign of dementia, it happens with alarming frequency, and sometimes the person isn't even aware of doing it.) Or the wrong word may come out — "mouth cleaner" for "toothbrush" or "picture stick" for "TV remote control." I have a few dandies of my own…………..just ask Tom.
#5: Social withdrawal
Early in Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, the person is often well aware that something is amiss, even if he or she isn't exactly sure of the source of the problem. I knew something was wrong almost 2 years before admitting it. It can be frightening to feel that you're not quite in control of your faculties all of the time. This can cause the person to use more and more energy to stay in self-command. That is why I am always tired. That leaves less energy to interact with others. Sometimes the person isn't even aware that he or she seems to be losing interest in friends and family, because he or she is concentrating so hard on just getting through the day. Again – guilty!
Social withdrawal can also be caused by a desire to avoid embarrassment or by depression — which often develops alongside dementia. The right side of your brain helps with socialization and I am lucky to still have some of that function – it is still exhausting.
So Sharron, how are you doing?
I love summer but this is too hot – never thought I'd say that! My internal thermostat is not working too well either. I am tired and pooped just like all of you.
Because I have a hard time is controlling my emotions and opinions I feel people drifting away instead of staying by my side. These are things I can not help, but I do try very hard – daily. Desertion is the hardest part of this disease. How do we change this? EDUCATION!
We have our home for sale and have bought another one. There is a lot of pressure with owning two homes – keeping everything spotless for "Showings" that may or may not happen and then there's the packing. Some how packing and spotless do not go together.
We have a week coming up to spend at the beach – fingers crossed for 80 degree weather.
The October Alzheimer's Walk is growing near and I am having my knee replacement on the 25th of October. A very busy time is coming up. May this please be the end of the leg that keeps on giving?
The 2016 Williamsburg Walk to End Alzheimer's® is on October 22nd at Matthew Whaley Elementary School. This will be my 3rd walk.
In 2015 our chapter (Southeastern Virginia) raised over $735,000 through 6 chapter-hosted Walk events. My wonderful team – The Villas of Five Forks – raised over $4500 and we placed 5th in Williamsburg – right below all the LARGE corporate teams. WE ROCK!! My aim is HIGH for 2016.
I have raffle tickets for a new RED Rav-4 XLE – $5/each or 4 for $20. Please call Tom at 757-209-1977 or email email@example.com for information on raffle tickets, donations or joining our walk team – The Villas at Five Forks.
Thank you as always for you love, support, understanding and taking the time to read my BLOG.

Labyrinth Walks
The Labyrinth
These sacred symbols hold a wealth of potential for both wellbeing and creativity. A walk in a labyrinth can help us to rejuvenate our sense of wellbeing by providing a safe space in which to slow down and simply be.
My next labyrinth workshop will be held at The Barn, Banchory on Saturday 11th May, 2019 from 11am – 3pm
£45, £40 Concession
This workshop with myself and fellow labyrinth facilitator Janis Wemyss, combines the wellbeing aspects of labyrinth walking with writing for the self. We will introduce you to the history of this ancient symbol which has been in use for over 4,000 years and guide you on how to walk it, enabling you to slow down and rejuvenate your sense of wellbeing.
Labyrinths are effective tools because they offer the opportunity to take time to yourself, to go inward, to meditate, reflect, problem solve or simply be.
In the second part of the workshop, I will lead you in a writing exercise where you can reflect on your experience of walking the labyrinth more deeply. The workshop will conclude with a group sharing of your writing in a non-judgemental, supportive group environment.
As this is a Writing For Wellbeing workshop no previous writing experience is necessary.
Refreshments included but please bring a packed lunch and a favourite notebook and pen to write with.
To book please contact The Barn: https://www.thebarnarts.co.uk/whats-on
or call the Box Office on 01330 825431 Tues – Sat 12 – 4pm

Cyclists are being forced onto sidewalks by heavy traffic on Dominion Boulevard. This raises the question: why is there a glaring absence of bicycle lanes?
Reader Letter: Put bike lanes on Dominion; don't make cyclists ride on the sidewalk
Re: 'Um, you might want to brush up on the law, councillor', opinion column by Anne Jarvis, July 4.
Having lived on Dominion Boulevard between Totten Street and Northwood Street for 10 years, my family suffered the woes associated with the traffic congestion created by thousands of vehicles.
We lived with frequent honking horns, the screeching sound of braking, and vehicles racing up and down this narrow piece of busy road. The congestion became much worse as left-hand turns combined with city and school buses created even more backups.
Common sense seemed to force cyclists to ride on sidewalks for their own safety. This raises the question: why is there a glaring absence of bicycle lanes? Coun. Paul Borrelli doesn't appear to be in tune with his constituents, as he seems to feel it is not a priority.
There appears to be money for the many things our mayor and council want to accomplish, but it seems the safety and convenience of citizens on Dominion is not one of them.

Estimation jar lessons are one of those activities that can be organized many different ways. Plus you can teach a variety of skills with a jar. Who knew a jar could be so useful in the classroom?
I found this jar at Target today for $3.68. It is a gallon size Ball Mason Jar. It almost Easter, so I bought some plastic eggs and egg-shaped gum balls. They are colorful and add seasonal fun to any lesson.
If you want to add measurement to the lesson, bring in other sized jars such as pint and quart size jars. One day put the same number of gum balls in each of the jars. Of course, the smaller jar will look fuller. Will students estimate a larger number if the jar looks fuller?
An estimation jar lesson is a lesson that can be taught a variety of ways. There are more Common Core standards that can be used with this activity. I included a few of the ways that I've used with my classes in the packet.
