text: Meet Visual Artist and Selector: Dimitri-Maurell Stephanie Moore June 5, 2017 Artists, Music, Visual 1089 Tweet3 Share13 Share Email WhatsAppShares 16 Apple Valley native, Dimitri-Maurell, is a rising triple threat: a visual artist, a selector, and an inspiration to others. Since the age of 4, music has been a major part of Maurell's life, including the moment when young Dimitri fell down the stairs, losing his two front teeth. The cure? The sound of music. Since his adolescence, Dimitri has dedicated his life to making art full-time, recording dope mixes, and inspiring other fellow youth to follow their passions by connecting with oneself and to take action, instead of aspiring to do things. "My advice to Visual Artists and DJ's is to understand & connect to yourself as much as you possibly can. Understand that DOING YOU doesn't require explanation nor connotation.What you let be seen should be enough for them to draw up a personal interpretation. Lastly, self expansion by way of wandering outside of your comfort zone is key." – Dimitri – Maurell Sticking to this mantra, Dimitri continues to blossom this year, by working alongside several recording artists and fashion designers, to help build their brand through art and graphic design. Q: How long has music been a part of your life? A: Music has been apart of my life since i was 4. I actually lost my two front teeth falling down some stars in the apartments I lived in, then, and music was used to stop me from crying. Bloody mouth and all. Q: Did you know that you always wanted to do music? A: No, I wanted to make cartoons & video games before music. Q: What are some of your best accomplishments from 2016 and how do you plan to make 2017 better? A: One of my favorite accomplishments from 2016 was honoring my passion by establishing myself as an artist that wanted to make art full time and not as a secondary gig. I also began to establish , organize and give purpose to brands I've envisioned since the age of twelve. 2017 will be better for me because I have fully grounded in my sense of self , wisdom & confidence. This alone should make 2017 all the better experience for me. Q: Were there any moments in your life where you had setbacks in your career? How did you overcome these setbacks? A: I've overcome a million and one setbacks in the past year and a half alone & I overcame them all by keeping the vision of my desires alive in my heart and head, regardless of what was physically happening around me. Q: How would you describe the style of your mixes? A: My mix style is a very fly medley Soul , R&B , & Contemporary R&B artists with an occasional rap , urban or indie vibe in between. Q: How would you describe the growth of your skills, from the time you started until now? A: I need to get my skills up, but I believe I've gotten better since my very first mix. I've always had an impeccable ear for music, I just need to tighten up my actual mixing. I'm a steady growth and I will get there. Q: What is your favorite piece of equipment to use? A: I actually loving learning on the Numark NS7 Q: Are you working on any major projects? A: I have an untitled compilation tape series. I'm slowly gathering and accepting content for that and I plan to have released on iTunes. Q: Who are some of your musical inspirations?

A: Tons of gems: Mars Parker, Ojerime , Che Ecru , MAZ , Roni , K Forrest , Tyro Da Savage. Q: If you could describe the future of your music in one word, how would you describe it? A: Inclusive Q: What advice would you give to those who are working towards being a visual artist or DJ? A: My advice to Visual Artists and DJs is to understand & connect to yourself as you possibly can. Understand that DOING YOU doesn't require explanation nor connotation.What you let be seen should be enough for them to draw up a personal interpretation. Lastly, self expansion by way of wandering outside of your comfort zone is key. Q: How long has art been a part of your life? A: Art has been apart of my life since conception. I would describe it as wild , emotion evoking & transcend. Q: How would you describe your work in three words? A: I would describe it as wild , emotion evoking & transcend. Q: How would you describe your personality in three words? A: I'd describe my personality as wavy, meaning mutable, intense, but warm. Q: Why style of art do you typically handle? A: I can't pick one style, since I've studied tons of art and have since I was 14. I try to use any given combination of styles at any given point. I really love Futurism though. Q: When did you decide to infuse your art skills into graphic designing? A: I once wanted to be a rapper and wanted to be self sufficient in making my own covers, so my best friend put me onto Photoshop CS6 Q: What was the most challenging part about learning graphic design? A: Graphic design was easy. The most challenging part for me to learn was remembering where everything was. Q: What advice would you give to those who aspire to be graphic designers? A: Don't aspire , just start. Its truly a matter of desire , giving it a little thought and bringing the many different operations into your own understanding. Q: What type of graphic design work do you do? A: Party/ Concert Flyers Posters Clothing Business Logos , anything basically. Q: Have you done any graphic design work for any brands/businesses/musicians/etc.? A: Yes! A rapper named DeezyTheSuper has some of my art & I helped make a logo for his Label TWC ( The World's Cure ). I've made a design for a medical marijuana delivery service, as well. A singer named Tranquilt and a rapper named Mad Max have covers by me & I[m helping my younger brother T Dot with his Clothing Line OAK. Q: Are you working on any projects? A: I have so many art collections ranging from short films, music videos, skate tapes & clothing collections that I plan to have my art featured in. All of which has been organized by me. Q: What is some ultimate goals for yourself and your career? A: My ultimate goal is to inspire a million minds to do them with self care and confidence. Q: Who are your inspirations? A: People don't inspire me, colors, my own ideas & nature do. However, if i had to pick an inspiration it'd be Grandmother Alfreda. Q: What is your opinion on visual/graphic artists not getting the recognition they deserve, when it comes to creating art for musicians/events? A; Well, you make your art using your heart and you certainly don't have heart to hearts with every stranger you meet. I think connecting is much more important than being recognized.There are two different types of acknowledgements, one i believe is more heartfelt than the other. Your resume is your resume by what you do, not who saw you do it. It is a shame to see, but at the same time those who truly want to know will find out. Q: What goals do you hope to achieve in 2017? What are some things you want to accomplish/do in 2017? A: In 2017 , my younger brother Deron aspires to be a model , entertainment personality & photographer so as long as he becomes successful in those three categories, my heart will be full of joy. I just want to travel to and get well acquainted in 11 cities within the US and visit 4 countries. I also need my art to attract the mind of a soul mate or a few lol. Q: Is there anything you would like your supporters to know? A: I want my supporters to know I love them!!!

Our Consulting Platform
Transfer Pricing
The increasing complexity of a company's global footprint, coupled with the heightened scrutiny worldwide following the release of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Guidelines by the OECD, transfer pricing has arguably become the most contentious area of international tax, with heightened compliance and enhanced risks.
Value Chain
The current C-Suite focus on both transfer pricing and international tax is unprecedented. Savvy multinationals are focused on ensuring that the economic reality of the value chain, comprised of the symbiotic combination of the supply chain and intangible property, is reflected in their overall tax and transfer pricing strategy.
APPLIED Economics
Every business, from a fast-growing, middle market company to the largest multinational, can benefit from strategic insight gained from benchmarking their business as a full enterprise or looking at a focused aspect by parsing their company's value chain, all of which can create a view as to whether "the sum of the parts is greater than the whole."
Based in Belgium, Mexico, and across the US, Aptis Global professionals have a combined experience of over 100 years partnering with multinational companies in the design, development, implementation, structuring, documentation, audit, and defense of their global tax positions. Our professionals, which include in-house best practice leaders and globally-recognized subject matter experts, are ready to partner with your cross-functional team to address the tax implications resulting from the market, regulatory, and supply chain challenges of the 21st century.
We have the seasoned team capable of interpreting tax technical advice within the context of your industry's dynamics, challenges, and constraints, bringing you a unique perspective; perspective that brings value to your global tax strategy.
The energy industry has been extremely volatile in recent years and that volatility is expected to continue with global demand for new energy source and the application of new technologies coupled with the social and political pressures to be good global stewards.
Financial Services
The Financial Services industry faces the conundrum that its growth opportunities inherent in the evolution of digital technology also brings new challenges around regulatory compliance and transparency. In the race for market share, major industry players are burdened with complex organizational structures, resulting from a decade of market consolidation and divestiture. A nimble, if not fully virtual, supply chain is necessary to respond to an environment of low interest rates, rising costs and a competitive landscape around "fintech."
Life Sciences
As the race intensifies for personalized medicine to improve the human condition, the Life Sciences industry faces increasing pressure to deliver innovative products and services in more economic and viable ways. At the same time, finance and tax leaders are facing an array of challenges including an unprecedented level of business uncertainty, declining government funding, evolving business models and increased integration within the industry. Such pressures, coupled with significant regulatory and legislative changes, have largely influenced how tax professionals working in-house can be constrained in bringing substantive shareholder value to their organization.
Manufacturers must continually redefine the parameters of their supply chain, being as nimble as possible, to manage the risks inherent to rapid innovation in a cost containment environment. The application of "big data" brings a layer of opportunity and complexity to managing the value chain that must be considered by a tax department as it attempts to serve an increasingly nimble supply chain environment.
Medical Devices
The dynamic medical device industry faces a new wave of challenges to enable its patients to live healthier, higher quality and longer lives, addressing the geographic challenges unique to each region of the world's population. In the face of unprecedented levels of clinical and regulatory changes, increased pressure on value chain risk management, patent infringement, reduction in reimbursement rates, user-centric product innovation, data privacy and security, tax and finance leaders face the increasingly difficult task of improving, or perhaps protecting, the global effective tax rate, while overseeing tax risk management for their organization with limited resources.
Challenges facing the retail industry are as diverse as the products they offer and the channels with which they reach their customers, placing pressure on delivery time, warehousing, logistics, local market adaptation, and the capital to make it all happen seamlessly behind the scenes for both the e-commerce and bricks and mortar companies. The dust from the power shift in the retail industry during the recessionary years has clearly settled yet the growth engine today is around the major online platforms and the trend to streamline distribution. A focus on a supply chain's resilience and flexibility will be critical to retail strategy and tax planning alike.
The technology industry is exploding, as consumers become more demanding of access to data generated by every product they use and as manufacturers invest heavily in technology for increased efficiency and invest in data for big data analytics and predictive analytics. The industry is fast paced and ever changing, as new and competitive technologies emerge daily. The need for data security is at the forefront of all technology companies.
Sustained growth in the mature sectors of the chemicals industry is fueled, almost exclusively, by innovation whether developed in-house or acquired yet this capital intensive industry struggles under the constraints of a physical supply chain dependent on weather, logistics infrastructure, and the fickle nature of consumer preferences as it varies across geographies. Layering in the intensity of paper-trading, typically trading of the same products that a company may also be physically trading, the chemicals industry is highly competitive and requires massive scale to weather the economic cycles and dedicated innovation investment to muster measurable growth.
At Aptis, our fundamental objective in serving our clients
is to demystify transfer pricing and empower our clients.

TIME FLIES when you're having fun. That felt particularly poignant last Friday [20 January '17], which marked six years to the day when Garry Hill was appointed Woking manager, writes David Richardson.
And while 2016 is unlikely to go down as a revelation, Hill deserves huge credit for his stewardship and longevity in the role.
"Six months is a long time for a manager to be in a job nowadays," jested Hill after a late, heart-breaking defeat at home to Aldershot Town on New Year's Day.
Irrespectively, his time at Woking now means he's the third longest serving manager in the top five tiers of English football, behind Arsene Wenger (Arsenal) and Paul Tisdale (Exeter City).
The 57-year-old has been one of Woking's most successful mangers, most certainly since Geoff Chapple's rein in the 1990s.
From the off, Hill and assistant Steve Thompson hit the ground running, guiding Woking into the National South play-offs after been 10 points adrift in January 2011.
An astonishing 12-game unbeaten run, which included 11 wins and one draw, saw The Cards gatecrash the top-five, where they were eventually beaten 2-1 after extra time by Farnborough Town in the semi-finals.
The silver lining to that defeat was Woking had found a management team capable of getting them out of the then Football Conference South (now National League South). The following season they did just that.
The Cards romped to the title winning it by nine points to return to the National League after a three-year absence.
Hill then steered Woking to a highly respectable twelfth-place finish, before trumping that the following season in ninth. The Cards continued the upward trend the following season to finish seventh – three points short of the play-offs in 2015 – ahead of another well-earned 12th place last season.
Many Woking fans would have been happy to avoid relegation when the club returned to the top-tier of non-league, but under Hill's managerial guidance, The Cards have over-achieved year-on-year.
And while money doesn't necessary dictate success, Hill has achieved all of this on a playing budget reported to a third of the likes of Forest Green Rovers, Eastleigh and even Luton Town, before The Hatters gained promotion back to The Football League.
With success comes interest from other clubs, which has resulted in several former players (some on loan) now plying their trade regularly in the English Football League and Scottish Premiership. These include: Billy Knott (Gillingham), Jayden Stockley (Aberdeen), Dan Holman (Cheltenham Town) and Jack Marriott (Luton Town) – to name just a few.
While Hill is accustom to having to rebuild his team throughout his 26 years in football management, there are only so many hidden gems that the Woking supremo can pull out of a hat or from under his sleeve.
A reduced budget this season has certainly taken its toll this season too, with Hill struggling to fill the void of John Goddard (Swindon Town), Scott Rendell (Aldershot Town), Jake Cole (Aldershot Town) and Mark Ricketts (Boreham Wood).
And while he has amassed enough credit in the bank to buy patience from most fans, some of the Woking faithful are already starting to question whether the Essex salesman is the right man to keep Woking in the division. It therefore begs the question: If he isn't, then who is?
The last four months have undoubtedly been some of the most challenging since Hill first managed Heybridge Swifts in 1991. Based on the current form-guide, it would be easy for Woking's board of directors to pull the carpet from underneath his feet, but they deserve recognition for sticking by their man.
Remarkably, in over a quarter of a century in football management, the Woking boss has never suffered relegation and is determined not to let it happen in 2017.
Whether Hill signs a new contract this summer remains to be seen. His frustration at the lack of financial backing is clear, but the club shouldn't put its future at risk like others have done before them.
Therefore, opting for more of the same wouldn't necessarily be such a bad thing in the grand scheme of things.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Hideaway by Nicole Lundrigan
Published on July 9, 2019
Genres: Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, Fiction
Links: Buy on Amazon | Goodreads
Pages: 320
Format: ARC
Source: NetGalley
What if home is the most dangerous place you can be? Gloria Janes appears to be a doting suburban mother and loving wife. But beyond her canary-yellow door, Gloria controls her husband, Telly, as well as seven-year-old Maisy and her older brother Rowan, through a disorienting cycle of adoration and banishment.
When Telly leaves, Gloria turns on Rowan. He runs away, finding unlikely refuge with a homeless man named Carl, with whom he forms the kind of bond he has never found with his parents. After they are menaced by strangers, Rowan follows Carl to an isolated cottage, where he accidentally sets off a burst of heightened paranoia in Carl, and their adventure takes a dark turn.
Gloria is publicly desperate for the safe return of her son while privately plotting ever wilder ways to lure Telly home for good. Her behaviour grows more erratic and her manipulation of Maisy begins to seem dedicated toward an outcome that only she can see. The two storylines drive relentlessly toward a climax that is both shocking and emotionally riveting.
It takes someone of immeasurable cruelty to force their child out into the dark woods come midnight as a form of punishment. That is the kind of person Gloria is, a woman who never should have become a mother.
She's more monstrous than anything one might find out in the forest. Gloria's treatment of her two children, Rowan and Maisy, is the nexus of Hideaway, a gloomy, tragic, adventure story about a child who finds comfort in a mentally unstable man who lives under a bridge.
Hideaway is not an easy book to read. Stories about child neglect and abuse never are, especially because we know people like this exist in the real world.
I wish I liked this novel more. I think it has something to say and a compelling story to tell, but, I found myself unable to make it past the half-way mark. Telling the story from the perspective of the children was a smart move, yet I often felt bogged down by long passages winding nowhere.
Carl was a frustrating character too, the overuse of the "urh," sound became grating after a while.
Hideaway is a great novel for some, the book has high reviews on Goodreads and other platforms, but for me, it felt too long and too bleak. It wasn't to my liking, unfortunately.
I would still recommend it to anyone who finds the premise intriguing. It's unlike many novels I've read, and its uniqueness makes it an excellent story for some. Be aware of the dark subject matter beforehand.

Seattle has been rocked by, like, 14 mph winds today. So naturally the local media is reacting as if flesh-eating marmosets devoured the mayor.
Please to be noting:
- Video caption reading "One man was forced to hold onto a tree to keep from being blown over."
- Actual video shows man using single hand to grasp sapling about 1/50th his diameter and approximately 1° off perpendicular from the ground.
- Lovable seven-year-old ragamuffin nonchalantly walks his bicycle past in the background.
You can't truly appreciate the devastation until you've seen the raw footage. (Warning: contains scenes of umbrella carnage not suitable for all viewers.)
Of course HOLY SHIT WINDSTORM 2007!!! did manage knock out power at my house, which left me without access to online porn for an hour or so. Fortunately I have a copy of the 1977 Sears Catalog in our emergency kit for just such a contingency.

UDM is the cradle of free higher education for the underprivileged but deserving and bright scholars of the City of Manila. The University has faced numerous challenges through the years but like the Merlions, we displayed strength and determination. Our young history taught us how to rise above all trials and made us realize that our potentials are limitless.
Now, more than ever, we are committed to elevate UDM as a globally-competitive university. We embrace this task with the University Vision in mind: to be a Center of Excellence in all of our fields of specialization producing graduates imbued with a high degree of professionalism, demonstrating impeccable ethics, and exuding global competitiveness that will transform the City of Manila as the bastion of world class education.
We want to emerge as a city university with a global perspective. The University has intermediate and long-term plans that will enable us to keep up with the fast-changing world and meet the demands of the regional integration in Southeast Asia. In pursuit of our vision, we have strived to recruit highly-qualified faculty and staff that can deliver world-class service. We have also introduced significant changes such as progressive policies for improved administration, various enabling programs to uplift the morale of our personnel, and upgraded facilities for improved education, service and campus security.
The past year has been remarkable for the University. In academics, our mission to provide quality education is evident in the accomplishments and efforts made in fulfilment of our three-fold function as a university – instruction, research, and extension. To strengthen instruction in UDM, we overhauled all program curricula. The B.S. Nursing program was first to receive recognition from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) as prelude to accreditation. Thirty one (31) other programs applied for recognition and was assessed as CHED compliant programs.
UDM also proved to be a top-performing school in various national board examinations. The College of Health Sciences produced fifteen new physical therapists with an outstanding 93.75% performance in the August 2016 Licensure Examination for Physical Therapy. The College of Criminology meanwhile continued its streak as the top criminology school in Metro Manila and 6th in the Philippines.
For the first in time in history, UDM ranked 9th place in the National Top Performing Schools in the November 2016 Nursing Licensure Examination. This great accomplishment was awarded by the Philippine Regulatory Commission with a certificate of recognition. We also produced a top-notcher with now registered nurse Arriane Joyce Gimenez placing 10th in the said board examination.
UDM students likewise proved to top in poise, grace and wit when third year Marketing student Angela Gloria bagged the 2016 Miss University Belt title.
In research, a budget of Five Million Pesos (P 5,000,000.00) for the 2017 Fiscal Year was allotted to enable our colleges to identify and pursue their research objectives and activities. To encourage our faculty to produce knowledge through research outputs, we adopted a merit-based system of promotion with particular emphasis on research publications. UDM's research investment is dedicated to develop a knowledge and technology-production machinery that will make us at par with other global universities.
Our extension services were strengthened through community service and numerous engagements. In April 2015, UDM officially adopted the community in Barangay Baseco (Brgy. 649, Zone 48) in Tondo Manila. For five years, Baseco will be the subject of UDM's community development programs and the priority area for development research. Furthermore, to contribute to the public service competency of city hall and government employees, UDM designed special programs such as BA Public Administration and MA in Public Management and Governance. Nationally, we participated in seminars and conferences aimed at promoting among other things, good governance, gender development, and the environment in the country. UDM also engaged internationally by proudly representing the City of Manila in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Capital Cities Summit in Vientiane, Laos through Regent Donna Gasgonia and yours truly.
Last year was also filled with programs and activities fostering community-building within the university. In October, we inaugurated the Freedom Wall to provide a constructive way for the UDM community to engage in a creative discourse. The same day we unveiled the President's Gallery and Gallery of the Past Presidents of UDM located along the halls of the Executive Office in honor of the dedicated administrators who provided leadership for the University. We also had the brightest and most colourful Christmas celebration to date with the launch of the Grand Lantern Parade where both students and university personnel showcased their creativity.
To our students, may you be inspired to soar high and be ever determined to fulfill your goals not only for your personal interest but also for the community, the nation, and the world
Finally, to the visitors of the UDM website, I welcome you to contact us or visit our campus to interact with our students, faculty and staff to learn more about the University and our activities.

It's been busy here at Pendragon Hold since my last post. THE Wife has been devoting every waking moment to this upcoming Rocky Horror Picture Party she's hosting on the 3rd of October (be there or be rectangular). I have been doing what I can, passing out flyers at work, attempting to explain what a Rocky Horror is to Rocky Horror virgins, while watching with some bemusement the utter joy some of my co-workers have been expressing at the mere thought of attending anything having to do with Rocky Horror. I might even garner the attendance of highly placed Corporate Executives at this shindig, because, after all, this IS the Rocky Horror Picture Show we are talking about here………..
But don't ask me to explain this cult phenomenom, because I can't. I would have much better success explaining why thousands of Americans with mental handicaps show up to protest health care reform, non-existent gun control legislation, and anything else they can dream up as happening to them courtesy of us "communists" who are out to destroy our country. Why would we want to "destroy" our country? Your guess is as good as mine………
A new job has not miraculously turned up in time, thus the offspring has been forced to load up her belongings and move them all back here to the nest. I really feel for her, having such a blow to her self-esteem such as it is, but I also have experienced such turmoil myself, so I can fully understand the angst this generates in a person. Since our whole identities are so tied up in how we make our livings, losing our jobs effects so much of what makes us who we are. There has to be a better way, honestly.
Now that a relatively small segment of the population, recruited by the insurance industry and big pharma and the extreme right wing of the Rush Limbaugh party has totally screwed up the crafting of a sane health care reform package, thanks to the spineless backbones of our democratic party leadership, it seems that what we will end up with is something bearing no resemblance whatsoever to what Obama promised us in his election campaign, so hell bent is this man on trying to gain bipartisan consensus. Watch this so that you can laugh instead of cry.
On the "good news" front, I have gotten the new computer, a Mac Mini/22 inch widescreen monitor combo up and running, and after an occasional glitch or two, eventually remedied, I am now technologically current, CPU-wise, and am enjoying better wireless performance and speedier application performance, whatever that means.
As a born-again Pagan, I have noticed with alarming frequency these witch-hunts that have been happening all over the world. Of course, this is not a new thing, since witches and practitioners of magick have historically been the scapegoats of every populace who ever needed something to distract themselves from self-inflicted problems. We Pagans are probably second only to the Jews in this particular persecution category. When you have peoples who adopt an angry white dude living in a cloud city paved with gold as their Major God, well, this is the kind of shit that goes down. Jealous Gods tend to get jiggy when someone DARES to suggest they don't even exist, or at least the people who BELIEVE they exist get all bent out of shape for them. So, any opportunity a shyster preacher or other sort of purveyor of the "truth" gets to associate some usually defenseless, elderly, and of course female with "the devil", he will jump right on that and "save" the community from that hapless victim of religious hysteria. It is now getting so pervasive that even our politicians are getting in on the act, such as our very own Sarah Palin (you remember Sarah, doncha, the one who keeps an eye on Russia from her front porch and might keep having "gifts from God", aka babies, well into her seventies if she can keep Todd on her leash? One of these African charismatic evangelical preachers brought the "gotta clean out these witches" concept to Alaska and recruited Sarah into the ranks of his "Christian warriors" army, which she in turn is doing her damnedest to insinuate into the very fabric of our government.
I have one thing to say to you, Sarah, and ALL you fucking nutcases with your fear of those who don't buy your God.
THIS pagan doesn't turn his cheek.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
RDP and WMC can not figure out to add 'guest' to a registry setting?
I want to watch WMC over my RDP connection and it can be done by doing this here, But they dont say how?
Windows Media Center doesn't run when on a Remote Desktop session - Microsoft Community
Not quite sure why this would be considered an "ITPro" issue.
It is probably debateable that MS really intended for MC to be used via RDP, I am not sure that they thought the feature was used very much at all judging by what they did in Windows 8
However there are two possibilities over the cause of this. An update to the RDP client may be the culprit but it is not always a good idea to block any update.
Alternatively the following reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\Rdp-Tcp
needs the Users group added to have read access included in its permissions. Alternatively use the Run As Administrator option when starting Media Centre.
Hi Hairy Fool,
Thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.
The solution was the registry key not having to the correct permissions and adding the Guest account to it. Works like a charm now... well as well as MS will let it run!
From the lack of interest from MS I would not be surprised if it were dropped by MS altogether. Pity it had the potential for a great multimedia platform. They seem to be heading towards the Xbox and cloud... neither of which I have any intereste in for more reasons than there it time or space here... but MS seems to have their own agenda these days and they are loosing the battle badly and sadly as I have been an MS fan since DOS 1.0
But thanks for the tip it did work and I hope it will help others too.

I think what he wants you to do is right click on Rdp-tcp and select Permissions. Then, set the permission for the guest account to Read. That assumes the guest account shows up in the permissions.

Turn you into a black bitch, the Glock make you back-flip
Hip-hop dead I came with that long range, sniper aim
Got that cash money, but I ain't Lil Wayne
*News lady speaking*
I can give a fuck what you saying bitch
Shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck up bitch
Shut up, I don't give a fuck what you talking about
Lil B bitch
Based God
Shut the fuck up
Based God on this motherfucking song bitch
Shut up, blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah
I don't give a fuck what you talking about bitch
Based God nigga
Hardest out nigga, wassup?
[Verse 1]
Got the AK, strapped with a fat bitch
Turn you into a black bitch the Glock make you back-flip
Hip-hop dead I came with that long range, sniper aim
Got that cash money, but I ain't Lil' Wayne
Niggas think you wear tiny pants, that's a bitch move
Strapped with the pit bull, I turn your ass dog food
Rep Waterfront, nigga mad that I'm bout that
I been fucking robbing bitch now show me where your house at
Only skinny nigga got respect like a big cat
Big gat work your ass out like a six pack
Never been a "G to Gent" no I ain't Riff Raff
Nigga been thugging, still thugging, bitch touch that
Bitch I hit licks, give a fuck where the hoes at
And I wrote a book too, nigga still a fucking goon
Clean up boy know I gotcha' street sweeper
Two pistols had you running like you playing Fifa
No soccer, nigga no Oscar
Let you see the base and I ain't talking about a opera
Nigga ain't polite so, I bring the chopper
I make you a dead legend like the boy Frank Sinatra
Hip-hop beast nigga, fuck you rap niggas
I ain't never seen a bitch until I met some rap niggas
Five minutes out your day, leave you with your gun snapped nigga (Lil B laughter)
Nigga mouse traps
Nigga want the beef but you fake the sandman
Dead man brought to his crib, like a mailman
Look, I ain't really up with the rap shit
I'm just really good and it saved me from this trap shit
Suckers like you, get planned out
But I'm leaning everyday like the kickstand out
Lil B for Lil Boss, let the best man out
And I'm still paranoid that's why I'm posting down south
Real goons nigga
[News Lady Speaking]
Did you know that a three year old has enough muscle to shoot a gun?
A very rare song where Lil B yet again sends a message to the rap game. On a first glance you would think that hes just talking about the hood but the whole song is a very rare based metaphor. He uses gun references as a metaphor for his awesome lyrical ability.

Rev. Al Sharpton posed briefly for a photo with Mayor Bloomberg in City Hall's blue room before holding his own press conference on the steps of City Hall.
Surrounded by supporters, Sharpton said, "The city must show moral outrage." He alleged that some of the undercover officers at the scene were drinking.
(Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said at least one officer had "two drinks, two beers in the bar," and that the officer in charge of the scene said all officers were "fit for duty.")
Sharpton said the black police union, 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, had taken a vote of no confidence in Kelly and that, overall, community relations with the police are in trouble.
"Imagine living in a city where you have to live in fear of cops and robbers," he said.
Sharpton and company then left to meet with the family, and he said he'll also meet with the Queens DA and speak publicly around 4:30.
Bloomberg, during his own press conference inside City Hall, said he was "deeply concerned," and that Kelly will be the Police Commissioner for the remainder of Bloomberg's term in office.
"There's nobody that should go out into the street and be worried about their safety," Bloomberg said.
NYPDConfidential has a comparison of this incident to the Amadou Diallo shooting.

Author has written 2 stories for Humor, and General.
So I pull myself away from the uninspired monotonies of the fan fiction websites to actually be creative, not that I actually got anywhere with fanfiction.net, nor did I post many stories, nor did I complete any. So basically, what I'm trying to say is that after I got out of my bland and unoriginal state of thinking, I hate fan fiction. That was a lovely couple of sentences to start off on, wasn't it?
What I've learnt from reading a lot of people's profiles in my life, is that ones that are extremely long are there to look impressive; the ones that are actually read are the ones that are a reasonable length, so I'll make this profile readable.
I hope to one day become a published author and that's the reason why I'm here on fictionpress, to improve my writing skill and take on board the compliments and criticisms which - I hope - people will throw at me. I'm finally was free of that ridiculous '3 day wait' barrier which I was heartily welcomed with when I joined, hoping to put up something I had already prepared a few days eariler and felt my intent to hit my computer bubbling. But now that's behind me I can start putting up new stories, most of my ideas seem to go under the fantasy/science ficion genre and when I finally put pen-to-paper that is probably what will be produced. I have one big, main idea formulating in my mind for a story, but the optimistic part of me is telling me to wait and see if I can finally publish that series of ideas one day in the distant future. My influences stem from many authors, some of them being Michelle Paver, Philip Pullman, J.K Rowling, Douglas Adams and Joseph Heller; sometimes this may show in my style of writing or the theme but I'm confident that I'm developing my own writing style.
I hope you enjoy reading my submissions and I urge you to leave a comment behind, be good or bad, so I can see what I've done right or wrong in my writing.

10 New Fixed Blades to EDC This Summer
UPDATE: We've updated this list with new picks in 2019. Check out the new guide here.
When you think of an everyday carry knife, chances are you will have a folding knife in mind. But when you absolutely need a knife that cannot and will not fail on you, a fixed blade knife is the best option. Fixed blade knives don't have any moving parts to break or opening mechanisms to fumble around with when you're in a rush. Plus, in many jurisdictions, a fixed blade knife might be your only legal carry option. And if you have the idea that folding knives are too big for everyday carry, know that not all of them are built like the comically huge knife in Crocodile Dundee. There are plenty of EDC-friendly fixed blade knives out there, and the designs released this year are especially nice. In this guide, we'll round up our favorite recent fixed blade knife releases, and go over why they deserve a place in your own carry.
CRKT Siwi
The Siwi is a compact tactical fixed blade knife designed by Darrin Sirois, a retired military veteran. With a deep ergonomic grip featuring textured G10, it's easy to keep a sure hold on the Siwi even during hard use. And with its super-sharp SK5 carbon steel blade it can take on any task you have in mind. SK5 is a very hard steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 68 RC, and its superior cutting performance is amplified by the deep belly on its 3.341" edge. For more precise cuts, you'll also appreciate the top jimping combined with the deep guard for the sure control they provide.
684 BuckLite Max II Small
The Buck 684 Small is an affordable, compact skinning knife made by one of the most trusted traditional manufacturers of EDC blades out there. It features a 3.25" 420HC drop-point blade that's sharp yet easy to maintain. Its full tang construction ensures reliability, and its ergonomic textured Dynaflex rubber handles are built to handle slippery situations. It also features a lanyard hole at the pommel for additional carry versatility.
ESEE Camp-Lore Cody Rowen CR2.5
The ESEE Camp-Lore CR2.5 knife is one of the most exciting recent fixed blade designs. It is compact, with a 2.5" stonewashed 1095 carbon steel blade with a sharp full flat grind. It's built for precise control over small cuts, like whittling wood or cutting rope. And, while it would be quite a non-standard use, it's a great shape for use as a camping paring knife. Just make sure to clean and oil the blade, because while its Micarta handles can stand up to some abuse, the 1095 steel will rust if you're not careful.
Gerber Ghostrike
The Ghostrike is a discreet, compact, skeletonized fixed blade knife that's a good option for low-profile everyday carry. It's sized just right for EDC, with a sharp 420HC blade that's 3.3" long. The blade features a modified clip point shape that comes together to a very sharp tip for quick piercing. But the curved plain edge still offers capable slicing performance when needed. To keep things light at 3.6 ounces, the Ghostrike is skeletonized, but it has a textured rubber overmold on the handle to give you enough grip on the blade to use it even when the going gets tough.
Benchmade Altitude
The Benchmade Altitude weighs in at an astounding 1.76 ounces. That's lighter than just about any other knife available on the market, including tiny folders. And with a blade length of 3.08" it's an ideal everyday carry knife. To accomplish this feat, Benchmade leveraged their design prowess and used super-premium CPM-S90V stainless steel to build this marvel of a knife. It has an elegant and minimalist design, with a bit of carbon fiber at the handle for additional control and grip without adding bulk. And with jimping at the grip, the top of the blade, and even at the tip, you can exercise control over the cut every time you use the Altitude.
Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie
The Mini Tac Bowie by Cold Steel sizes down the traditional Bowie knife to something more manageable for EDC. At 3.6" it still has enough edge to perform like its larger brethren, especially with its curved tip and clip-point shape. With its aggressive G10 Griv-Ex textured handle, it's definitely a tactical knife, and the deep finger choil helps keep you from cutting yourself on your own knife when you're piercing through things.
Case Winkler Recurve Utility No. 6
If you're looking to carry a larger tactical knife, the Case Winkler Reserve Utility No. 6 has you covered. It has a versatile 4.75" 80CrV2 carbon steel blade that has both a pronounced curve at the tip and a slight recurve at the belly. This makes this knife great for all around cutting, piercing, and slicing tasks. The black oxide finish on the blade helps it resist corrosion, and it also reduces inconvenient reflections when you're outdoors. And because this is a larger knife, it has enough of a handle to give you a full one-handed grip without compromise.
Emerson CQC-7 Fixed
If this knife looks familiar to you, it's because it really is the CQC-7 turned into a fixed blade knife. Everything that makes the CQC-7 a great compact tactical knife is present here. Without the moving parts for the folding opening, it's an even more bombproof knife. It features a 4.2" 154CM stainless steel blade available in both stonewashed and black cerakote finish. The handles are more sizable because they don't have to accommodate a folding mechanism. They're still super-grippy G10 scales for reliable performance. Even the top hook for the wave-shaped opening remains, but on a fixed blade knife it serves its original purpose: acting as a top blade guard for close-quarters combat.
Spyderco WaterWay
Lots of knives tout having stainless steel blades that are resistant to corrosion, but the LC200N steel on the Spyderco WaterWay fixed blade is almost literally rustproof. The WaterWay is part of Spyderco's 'Salt' series of knives, which are made to stand up to serious water-related abuse. This makes it suitable for being around the salt water of the ocean or even for taking down with you as a dive knife. For everyday use, it means you can afford to be a bit less on the ball about maintaining this knife than with say, a carbon steel blade that will rust quickly. The serious corrosion resistance also makes it a great candidate for taking out with you when you go on an extended hike. But it's not just rustproof, it's ultra-sharp with a 4.4" full-tang full flat ground plain edge blade. And its organic streamlined design is punctuated only by the guard at the handle and its machined G10 scaling for positive grip.
WE Knife Vindex
WE Knife continues to impress with their recent designs, especially for their price, and the new Vindex fixed blade continues that trend. Comfort and ease of use was at the top of the list in designing the Vindex. It starts with the contoured G10 handle that conforms to your hand while giving you a firm grip. That's paired with the choil guard and top jimping on the blade, giving you added control. Combined, these help you leverage the sharp D2 steel blade for whatever task you need to accomplish. Its 3.75" cutting edge is formed into a drop-point shape for good all-around performance. And there's even a bit of channeling on the side to help minimize the knife's overall weight.
For more fixed blade options, check out last year's guide from the archives.

Cursed Children: The Potter Generation, 9 Years Later
When Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released, the same weekend I graduated from high school, I waited in line at midnight. And waited again, two years later, for Half-Blood Prince. But after the midnight release of Deathly Hallows, just prior to my final year of college, I started to close the Harry Potter chapter of my life. So when Scholastic released the script to the '8th Harry Potter story,' nine years later, I didn't rush to Amazon or my local book store. I waited. I forgot. I didn't know if I wanted to read it at all. And then eventually, because friends wanted to talk about it, I cracked the spine on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

We all deserve a break after this hard-fought election but the State Democratic Party requires that all local Democratic committees elect or re-elect their officers every two years — chair, vice chair, secretary, and treasurer. The rules require that the reorganization occur between Dec. 1, 2017 and Jan. 15, 2018. If there is, or is likely to be, more than one nominee for any position then a caucus is required. Our caucus will be held on Dec. 12.
Who can vote? SDC members who come to the Staunton City Council room before 7 pm on Dec. 12, 2017, who fill out a SDC membership application form satisfactorily, and pay $20 dues unless already paid in 2017 (but dues payment is not mandatory).
Who are the candidates? — Candidates will be listed alphabetically on an official ballot from nominees posted on the SDC website. A person can be nominated by another member with his/her consent, or nominate oneself, by sending an email to the vice-chair stating that the nominee is a member of the SDC and commits to taking the position for two years (2018-2019). A short statement of why running is optional. Nominees will be posted on the SDC website.
Nominations can be made any time between now and Dec 2.

Customer Reviews
My granddaughter loves her Zu el's blue and red crab shirt but she is outgrowing it. I went online to buy a larger size but couldn't locate the short sleeve blue cotton shirt. Did find the darling blue and white striped sweater with the red crab 🦀 on it. She loves it! Runs a tad big (she is an average size 2) but with sleeves turned up it is great. Thanks so much. They also make one in pink but sleeves and hem are flared. I like the blue and white striped one better. 🦀
We got a Zubels fox rattle as a baby gift for our daughter and thought it was so cute so we looked it up online to get more crocheted rattles then we saw the sweaters. Our daughter was born in mid-July so she is a Cancer sign...our little crab. Anyway love the quality of the sweater and rattle is perfect for a 4 month old. No plastic eyes to choke on (they are crocheted) and our daughter loves to chew on the legs...funny because I love crab legs too! Haha. Fast shipping, good packaging would order again!

ARLINGTON – Haller Middle School Leadership students recently organized a food drive to benefit the Arlington Food Bank.
The students gathered more than 1,500 pounds of food and $1,700 for the food bank. "One of the goals of the Leadership program is to reach out to the community, and this seemed like a great way to help our community members," said Levi Younger, Leadership student and ASB president. Haller has hosted the food drive over the Valentine's Day holiday for five years. This is the time of year when the food bank needs donations the most. "Our food supplies are down this year," said Jerrie Inman, director of the Arlington Food Bank. "This really means a lot."

14 Different Ways to Call Out to Cats in Countries Around the World
Posted on Sep 28, 2016
Not only words, but names and onomatopoeic sounds are different in cultures and countries all over the world. So this means that the way we speak to an animal, from telling our dog not to sniff or grab something potentially dangerous, to way we will call our cat will be different. Let's turn the globe and see 14 various ways people use to call cats.
1. In Japan
Languages in Asia are very different from Europe and everything we're used to, so the way of calling a cat is different, too. It's NEKO-CHAN OIDE. Cute!

There's something magical about the golden hour indeed. Put a sunset by the ocean, and you get one of the best moments in your life. Memories like this one are of those that you look back and feel so happy.
Nothing but the waves of the sea, the sun setting down and taking this beautiful orange shade and the water so warm and soft. The past week we've been chasing more and more sunsets as it's way too hot to get out in the mornings. We have yet to visit my favourite beach where the suns sets right in the sea, but got a couple of weeks of vacation left in front of me, so i'm holding tight for this one.
The lovely people from Mejuri, sent me these two gorgeous rings that i got to pick for which we did this photoshoot. I'm not one to wear a lot of jewelry, but give me black diamonds and the most delicate pieces and i'm all over them!

ANROEV Statement for International Workers' Memorial Day 2019
28 April a day of remembrance for workers who were killed, injured or disabled due to lack of proper health and safety at work. Workers' Memorial Day is an opportunity to highlight the preventable nature of most workplace incidents and ill health and to promote campaigns for the fight of improvements in workplace safety. The basic slogan for the day is remembering the dead – fight for the living.
According to recent report of the ILO, currently, more than 374 million people are being injured or affected by illness every year by work-related accidents. It is estimated that economic loss due to OSH-related causes represent almost 4 per cent of global GDP, in some countries the cost can be as high as 6 per cent. The developing Asia is one of a key region in the world constantly suffering with high number of work related deaths, diseases and injuries caused by unsafe working condition. According to a new report from the International Labour Organization (ILO), Changes in working practices, demographics, technology and the environment are creating new occupational safety and health (OSH) concerns. Growing challenges include psychosocial risks, work-related stress and non-communicable diseases, notably circulatory and respiratory diseases, and cancers. Death caused by hazardous substances at work are all time high linked to 1 million preventable death worldwide each year which is unacceptable.
It's a great sorrow to mentation that, the overall development approach in the field of OSH in Asia is mainly focused on workplace accident; addressing occupational diseases is still not a priority. Occupational diseases (silicosis, asbestosis and occupational cancers and many more) are invisible and imminent threat for workers in Asia. The absence of OSH Rights, social protection and just compensation for industrial accidents, injuries and diseases are pushing affected families deeper into poverty and making them vulnerable.
Recent tragic workplace accidents in various parts of Asia show that health and safety of workers is not prioritised by employers or the enforcement authorities. Occupational accident victims specially women and young people are even being further marginalised as they find it even harder to find long term unemployment or forced to take precarious work that is low paid, unprotected and hazardous.
We must recognize the economic cost, the immeasurable human suffering such illnesses and accidents. These are all-the-more tragic because they are largely preventable.
According to UNHCR, exposing workers to substances that do not have a determination of a health-based safe level of exposure is a violation of their rights. At the most fundamental level, comprehensive information regarding the intrinsic health hazards of the vast majority of industrial chemicals continues to be absent, including their ability to cause cancer, to be mutagenic or to be toxic for reproduction Continued exposure of workers to such chemicals not only constitutes a challenge to the rights of these workers to information, but also may amount to exploitation by deception. Without such information about toxic exposures at work, this further limits the rights of workers to realize other related rights.
OSH legislations are out-dated (regressive) as these generally fail to keep in step with emerging workplace issues and non-standard forms of employment. In many cases, workers in the informal economy, domestic workers, migrant workers are not covered under the legislations. Enforcement of OSH legislations are equally a serious concern in Asia and require joint responses at national and regional level. Updated OSH legislation in the Asian region reflecting the nature of work in Asia is crucial to prevent workplace accidents and diseases and to ensure just compensation for victims.
The ILO convention 155 (occupational health and safety) and 170 (chemicals convention) is considered as basic international labour standard for securing health and safety rights of all working people inside the national boundary; ensure safe chemical management and exposer fee workplaces. On the other hand, the important feature of the ILO convention 155 is applied to all workers in all branches of economic activity. Therefore, ratification of 155 by countries in Asia is very important to ensure state's basic legal obligation, ensure occupational health and safety rights of all workers within the country. The formulation of harmonisation of compensation systems and ratification of ILO Convention 155 is an urgent need in Asia. Furthermore, the goal of ILO conversion 170 is to provide workers with information about the chemicals at their workplaces, and about appropriate preventive measures so that they can effectively participate in protective programmes; establishing principles for such programmes to ensure that chemicals are used safely, but regretfully it is found that, till now only few countries in Asia has ratified convention 155 such as China, Korea, Mongolia, Australia, Fiji and Kazakhstan. Its ratification status in south Asia and South East Asia is nil. On the other hand only 21 countries in the world ratified ILO convention 170 (chemical safety), and only China and Korea from Asian region are included that list.
The international community has long recognized health as a human right. But in a world where above 3 million workers continue to die every year as a result of occupational accidents and work-related diseases; it is time for safety and health at work to be recognized as a fundamental principle and right at work.
It has to be point out here that, one of key recommendations at just published Global Commission on the Future of Work report is a universal labour guarantee required that protects workers' fundamental rights, an adequate living wage, limits on hours of work and safe and healthy workplaces.
On the International Workers' Memorial Day 2019, ANROEV demands the governments in Asia to immediately ratify ILO Convention 155 and 170 as part of states obligation to ensure workers' rights for a safe, healthy and hazards free workplaces in Asia.
Asian Network for the Rights of Occupational and Environmental Victims (ANROEV)
Demand to Asian Governments for the Immediate Ratifications of ILO Convention 155
ANROEV Statement for International Workers' Memorial Day 2018
On April 28, a day of remembrance for workers who are killed, injured or disabled due to work, we the members of the Asian Network for the Rights of Occupational and Environmental Victims (ANROEV) a coalition of victims' groups, trade unions and other labour groups across Asia raise our voices collectively for the ratification of the ILO convention 155 on Occupational Safety and Health and the working Environment. The ANROEV network is a grassroots network that is committed to the rights of victims and for overall improvement of health and safety at the workplace.
Work-related disease and accidents are increasing due to OSH Rights violation at the workplace in Asia and poor working conditions kill a worker every 15 seconds across the globe.[i] According to the ILO[ii] in 2017, OSH-related deaths totaled to 2.78 million workers per year and 317 million workers suffer from work-related injuries annually[iii] . The total cost of accidents, death and illnesses is conservatively estimated at four percent (4%) of the world GDP[iv].
Asia is the highest contributor to these figures and constituted about two-thirds of the global work-related mortality in 2017. The overall development approach in the field of OSH in Asia is mainly focused on workplace accident, addressing occupational diseases is still not a priority. Occupational diseases (silicosis, asbestosis and occupational cancers and many more) are an invisible and imminent threat for workers in Asia. The absence of OSH Rights, social protection and just compensation for industrial accidents, injuries and diseases are pushing affected families deeper into poverty and making them vulnerable.
Recent tragic workplace accidents in Asia such as Ali Enterprises [2012] in Pakistan, Tazreen Fire [2012] and Rana Plaza Tragedy [2013] in Bangladesh, Kentex factory fire [2015], HTI fire [2017] in the Philippines and the Fireworks factory explosion [2017] in Indonesia show consistently that health and safety of workers is not prioritised by employers or the enforcement authorities. Victims specially women and young people are even further marginalised as they find it even harder to find long term unemployment or are forced to take precarious work that is low paid, unprotected and hazardous.
Despite of the fact that large numbers of workers in different industries and workplaces are being exposed to deadly hazards and carcinogens, diagnosis of these occupational related illnesses and diseases takes a long time because of multitude reasons in the Asian region like lax laws, poor enforcement mechanisms, lack of skilled doctors to name a few. There is a dire need for medical practitioners who are adept and skilled in diagnosing occupational diseases and doctors on the ground who have access to workers and communities to make a timely diagnosis to ensure that workers receive swift treatment and compensation.
OSH legislations are outdated (regressive) as these generally fail to keep in step with emerging workplace issues and non-standard forms of employment. In many cases, workers in the informal economy, domestic workers, migrant workers are not covered under the legislations. Enforcement of OSH legislations are equally a serious concern in Asia and require joint responses at national and regional level. Updated OSH legislation in the Asian region reflecting the nature of work in Asia is crucial to prevent workplace accidents and diseases and to ensure just compensation for victims. The formulation of harmonisation of compensation systems and ratify ILO Convention 155 is an urgent need in Asia.
On the International Workers' Memorial Day 2018, ANROEV demands the governments in Asia ratify ILO Convention 155 to ensure workers' rights for a safe and healthy workplace.

[iv] ITUC/AP Report
Unions are organising for safer, healthier, decent work
Worldwide, poor working conditions kill a worker every 11 seconds. All these deaths are avoidable, yet the body count is increasing, warns Sharan Burrow. The ITUC General Secretary says that is why global unions are launching a reinvigorated and urgent organising campaign to demand safety, justice and accountability.
Every work-related death is avoidable. We have the knowledge. We have the technology. We can live for months in the vacuum of space.
But back on earth, the number of workers killed by their jobs has risen sharply. That is not because of a lack of know-how. It is because of a lack of will.
Companies are judged on their annual accounts, not their accident books. Corporate CEOs are richly and legally rewarded for asset stripping, job slashing, outsourcing and profit-taking. It takes nothing short of a major disaster, however, to see workers' health and safety generate a murmur of concern in most boardrooms.
And that disinterest or disdain comes at a cost. It is why estimates from the International Labour Organisation, released in September 2017, showed work-related fatal injuries and diseases worldwide have increased to 2.78 million per year. Most – 2.4 million deaths per year – are the result of occupational diseases, not 'accidents'.
IIt is a preventable epidemic that sees one work-related death every 11 seconds, every day, round the clock. ILO puts the estimated cost of this haemorrhage of life at 3.94 per cent of global GDP per year, or 2.99 trillion US dollars.
Make no mistake, these are large under-estimates. Work associations with diseases are missed, either by accident or design, and for whole categories of conditions no-one is counting the bodies.
In Japan, the authorities may record your fatal heart attack as caused by overwork. In most other places, it's in the 'natural causes' column. In Germany, Italy, Denmark and France, your laryngeal cancer may be linked to asbestos and compensated, but it is likely to go unrecognised, uncounted and uncompensated in most other countries.

CLOSE season . . . what close season?
Rarely, if ever, in the history of Merseyside's big two can the action on the field have been so swiftly and spectacularly followed off it.
Liverpool and Everton are at different, but equally critical crossroads.
And where they go from here will determine whether there is to be a resurgence in the fortunes of two of Britain's greatest clubs, or whether a period of decay and decline will set in.
The route they choose is crucial not only to the clubs and their fans, but to the city too.
Football is that synonymous with Merseyside that the thought of Liverpool having to re-evaluate their mighty expectations and the prospect of Everton being relegated next season, could actually change the emotional landscape of Liverpool.
This game, these two enormously proud clubs, mean that much to the people.
Liverpool's current dilemmas are painful and complex. The news that Gerard Houllier's future is now at serious risk only adds to the ongoing saga regarding Thailand investment proposals, Steve Morgan's counter-bid and the futures of key players like Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard.
No decent supporter will enjoy seeing Houllier, a man who has done so much for Liverpool, who loves the club and almost lost his life at Anfield, going through this.
Ultimately, all roads lead to chief executive Rick Parry, Liverpool's directors and chairman David Moores. And their verdict is awaited with increasingly bated breath by Kopites who understand the need for patience when there is so much at stake - but who are desperate for news which will renew the hope in their hearts for next season.
Liverpool may have a range of problems - but there are obvious signs there may be answers just around the corner to many of them.
It is at Everton, where the issues at Anfield have perhaps diverted attention, which are even more worrying.
Today, Blues owner Bill Kenwright begins to answer as frankly as he can the questions upon which the fans are demanding clarity.
But Kenwright, for all his love of Everton and all his incredibly hard work for the club, does not have the solutions in his gift.
The fact that David Moyes has so little to spend next season, when Everton have some-how survived this one with 39 points, tells us the club is in a close-season crisis which, barring another miracle from Moyes, could see the unthinkable happen.
When 3,000 terrified fans express interest in a new group called Evertonians for Change, it is as good a sign as you will get that Everton need some radical thinking. The club must embrace the mos t modern methods around and use whatever expert help it can to get out of here before it is too late.
There must be a way back for the Blues - even if it means tough decisions and the sort of sea-change in attitude and approach which many fans are crying out to see. Otherwise all hope is lost and that is just unforgivable defeatism.
Rarely, if ever, have the stakes been so high for both our clubs at the same time.
Moores and Kenwright - the men ultimately in charge and huge fans at heart - need the help and support of true friends right now to help them find the right path and reach decisions which could have historic impact for Liverpool and Everton.

Sesame Muppets to appear on NBC's West Wing in March
Sesame Street Muppets to appear on NBC prime time drama March 3 at 9 pm ET on NBC
of Zap2it.comf
Elmo could meet Leo.
Zoe the Muppet could meet Zoey Bartlett.
Somebody, apparently, has told the cast of "Sesame Street" how to get to Pennsylvania Avenue. Several of "Sesame Street's" most popular residents are about to visit television's most popular political drama when Big Bird, Elmo, Zoe and Rosita guest star on "The West Wing."
The Wednesday, March 3 cameos will mark the first time that these Muppets have guest starred on a prime time series.
In the episode, President Bartlett (Martin Sheen) enlists C.J. (Allison Janney) to try to improve the First Lady's (Stockard Channing) image. As a solution, the First Lady films a public service announcement where she gives Elmo a checkup.
If this crossover is successful, perhaps The Count will be called into the Oval Office to help out next time there's a key vote in the House.
"One Republican Senator crossing party lines... Ah-hah-hah," he might say.
This year marks the 35th anniversary of "Sesame Street."

You may need to recharge your cell phone, perhaps hook up a radar detector for the day, maybe play a CD or radio while having a picnic somewhere. Regardless of the reasons this mod can be quite handy and is easy to do. It also costs about $10 in total which isn't too expensive.
There must be dozens of ways to rig up a cigarette lighter adaptor on your bike. These pictures show my first attempt. There are a few things I wish I had done differently, but on the whole I'm satisfied.

The display illustrated Arvest's history and the history of McIlroy Bank and Trust, which joined the Arvest group in 1986. Among the memorabilia was an antique leatherette book bank inscribed with the McIlroy Bank name and "Fayetteville, Ark."
"Our long-time associates and even a few who had retired enjoyed going through the scrapbooks and sharing their memories," said Karen Gray, vice president for marketing and public relations for Arvest, Fayetteville.
The lobbies of the branch locations displayed photos and a 1962 press release on the College branch's "new" drive-through service. They also offered refreshments to customers throughout the afternoon.
Associates joined in with the spirit of the day by wearing their 50th Anniversary shirts with jeans. More than one customer asked for a shirt of their own but learned that the shirts were exclusive rewards for Arvest associates.
Submitted questions will be answered by an Arvest banker and may appear on the Arvest Blog.

Revolutionary heating specialist Koleda have now reached 700% overfunding on their Kickstarter.
The funding round is centered around their new SOLUS radiator, which is set to be the most efficient home heating device ever made. The SOLUS can reportedly cut heating bills by up to 80% due to its innovative use of graphene.
After years of research and development, the SOLUS has been designed from the ground up with efficiency in mind. With each device containing Koleda's patent-pending nanotech and graphene coated heating element. This means that each SOLUS can heat quickly and cost-effectively, whilst maintaining its eco-friendly credentials, especially against other, traditional electric heaters.
The money raised from their Kickstarter will go towards automating their European manufacturing process, as well as their expansion across global markets, including the UK, Europe and North America.
Co-Founder of Koleda, Maxim Interbrick said: "The response to SOLUS on Kickstarter has been incredibly promising. It's fantastic to see the demand for our revolutionary product and we believe it can really disrupt the home heating market.
"Many homes still rely on traditional radiators that have been in place for decades, with some older homes even having their heating date back to the 1800s. Our unique patented technology will revolutionise the way we all think about heating, whilst drastically cutting bills."
The SOLUS is currently available for pre-order through Kickstarter, with an RRP of £260/€300. The initial funding target was 50,000 CHF ($49,939), and has currently reached 360,000 CHF ($359,563), the Kickstarter closes on Thrusday 7th March 2019.
