Maggie K. Smith, Berea College Farm Intern
Berea, KY—Agriculture and forestry at Berea College share a common root. Silas Mason, hired as the superintendent of campus grounds and professor of horticulture and forestry in 1897, established the first forestry program at Berea. He was so committed to forestry education that he purchased the first forest acreage with his own money. Today, if you walked into the College Forest you might think you'd traveled back to the time of Silas Mason. This week the forestry team has been learning the neo-traditional trade of biological woodsmanship, utilizing the equine muscle power for logging instead of fossil-fuel-powered machinery.
Jason Rutledge traveled to Berea from Floyd, Virginia, with his horses to offer his practical teachings on the benefits of horse logging, his career since 1974. Rutledge considers himself a biological woodsman, not a logger. He says:
"The biggest difference between a logger and a woodsman is that the purpose of loggers is to reduce the worth of the forest to logs and dollars. But a woodsman understands the interdependent relationships between species diversity and forest health. In order to continue to be a woodsman, you need woods".
Rutledge has dedicated his life to restorative forestry, using the method of "worst-first, single-tree selection" to harvest trees while leaving specifically-selected trees to continue to grow. Each tree in the forest ages in its own time; growth and age are not just species-specific, but depend on the individual. Using his team of rare 'Iron Suffolk' horses, Rub and Kate, he pulls logs cut from the forest with remarkably little disturbance. The horse is the best method for log extraction when the goal is minimal disturbance because they can enter the forest via smaller paths and do not require the large clearings needed for modern machinery. And by using these biological power units (horses), there is also time to be thoughtful.
When looking for the route to enter a woodlot or forest there will usually be some needed trimming of brush and fallen trees, but this allows for scoping out the trees for forest replenishment, the practice of silviculture. If machinery were to be used this type of intentional understory management would likely not occur.
An important advantage of horse logging is that weather conditions are less of a hindrance. While working over the past week, the violent thunderstorms we've had would have washed out conventional skid trails and left the ground muddy with deep standing water, but with horse logging these risks and limitations are greatly reduced because there is less soil compaction and disturbance.
Other advantages of this low-input approach lie in the ability to salvage fallen trees for wood and extract timber on your schedule rather than that of a contractor. According to Rutledge "there are low-input costs. It ain't free. It takes cultural skills." And transferring those skills is precisely what his apprenticeships through Healing Harvest do.
Rutledge acknowledges the limitations of horse logging, but clearly sees the benefits outweighing them. A lot of time that goes into the care, preparation, and use of the horses; it's almost ritualistic. The horses know the routine as well: hay, water, grain, harness, and off to work. The degree of intelligence demonstrated by these animals is magnificent.
Clint Patterson, the Berea College Forester, first developed an interest in Rutledge's work after seeing him featured in Mother Earth News in 1987. As a forestry student he became disenchanted by an industry motivated only by fast growth and clearcutting to maximize profits. This disenchantment has stuck with him and influenced his vision for the Berea College Forest. Patterson believes that Berea College is a place for change and horse logging could be a part of it. "The dollar makes more trips around the community before it goes somewhere else. And slower, more careful, more mindful, less impactful forms of logging allow more time for the logs to find local uses" according to Patterson.
The Berea College Forestry Department used mules to pull out logs used for the Deep Green dormitory furniture as well as a few other future products. More projects are planned, including the development of a visitor center near the Silas Mason cabin, located near the Pinnacles. This center will draw in and educate visitors and allow the College Forest to host educational events. If horse logging is adopted, the horses could be boarded here as well.
Despite Berea College's efforts to more proactively consider sustainability in its operations, change is often hindered by expediency, practical limitations and the near impossibility of satisfying all stakeholders. Horse-logging is a method with some real benefits, but can it and will it be used again in Berea College's forest? Rutledge offers this thought to consider:
"I don't think anyone knows what 'sustainable' is really. But what we do know is that the general state of the world is in decline. I just don't understand how you sustain a state in decline? I practice restorative forestry; creating a forest that is very similar to a virgin forest, while using a single entry with neo-traditional harvesting techniques and plans."
If Berea College implements this type of timber extraction method it will be the first college in the South to do so in modern times. It would also provide an exceptional learning opportunity, linking students today with those who worked and learned at Berea College over 100 years ago. And who knows what might follow – farming with horses?

Depending on how far you are behind on your mortgage, there are many options that you can evaluate as a possible solution when facing a potential foreclosure. The sooner you evaluate these options, the more you will have to choose from.
Some of the options you can consider immediately will largely depend on your equity position. They can include: Cash Offer, Retail sale, Owner Financing, Mortgage Assignment, Short Sale, Wrap Around Mortgage, Subject To and others.
Lastly, if you're facing foreclosure there are two more options that you can pursue with the assistance of an attorney to postpone the foreclosure temporarily and allow you more time to find a solution.
The first option is a TRO which stands for Temporary Restraining Order. The benefit of a TRO is that if the judge agrees with your request and signs off on it, it can postpone your foreclosure for about 30 days to give you more time to find a solution or even to possibly sell your house. The cost of a TRO is typically around $1500.
The second option is bankruptcy. Many homeowners try this route thinking it will stop the foreclosure and allow them to keep their house. Unfortunately that is rarely true, but a bankruptcy attorney won't always be up front about that fact. Typically, after a little time, the house will be released from bankruptcy allowing the bank to pursue foreclosure. The cost of bankruptcy is typically around $2000.
Your best option if you are unsure of what to do is to speak with an experienced professional who can help you evaluate your options and the risks and benefits of each. Time is of the essence in these situations and we would be happy to sit down with you and help you find a solution.

Hi everyone, how are you doing?
Last Sunday (15 Sept) we just had our interior design talk "Get Your Beautiful New Home Design With Just 20K".
This talk this time is only for homeowners of Minton, Adora Green, Prive, Esparina and Canberra Residence.
With just few days to prepare, we managed to get 15 couples to attend the talk.
It was raining very heavily in the morning. It was still raining at lunch time. We were thinking that some people probably won't come because of the rain. But surprisingly, despite of heavy rain, 14 out of 15 couples did come to the event. Plus, we get few more people coming on last minute registration.
We were having a full house event.
The talk was delivered by our Managing Director, Wilson Teh.
He was sharing with the audience that Rezt & Relax has been 13 years in business, the many awards we have received, how we serve our customer, our LIFETIME WARRANTY and our special promotion for the event.
We don't charge GST to our attendees who buy the package. Plus, we give them $1,000 Phillips Voucher and FREE Defect Checking. Plus we give them bulk purchase price and special price from our partners, that definitely will help our customers to save money. The audience was very happy to learn about our promotion.
Of course, every homeowners has unique needs for their home. That's why we have arranged our consultants and interior designers to stand by, so that every couple can have one on one detail discussion about their needs with our designers.
Oh yeah. Of course we also provide buffet refreshment for our attendees. I can tell you that the foods and drinks are quite nice ^-^
The event is very successful. We definitely will do this again soon.
So, who's interested to come to the next similar event? Yes, of course it's FREE.

Medallion quilt layouts have a central area that often dominates the overall design. Other design elements are sewn around the center, increasing the quilt's size as new 'rows' are added around the center.
Medallion quilts can be created with patchwork, applique or a combination of those techniques and others, such as embroidery.
Medallion Quilt Layouts
Medallion quilts can be arranged with their center quilt blocks on point, like the two top quilts in the illustration or a straight setting like the quilt shown lower left.
Either medallion style can be surrounded by borders or more quilt blocks, and we usually see a mixture of the two in each quilt. You can change the design in any way you wish as you work outwards in the layout.
- A focal fabric is used in the little medallion quilt shown upper left—a fussy cut image of a house. Patchwork radiates outwards from there.
- The bottom left is the Backwards Medallion Sampler quilt, assembled with a combination of blocks and borders surrounding the center.
- To the right is a medallion quilt that includes a mitered border print fabric cut so that mirror image strips meet to form a kaleidoscope at corners.
Triangles for On-Point Medallion Centers
The center of the medallion quilt with border print borders is surrounded by corner triangles first. The triangles are cut by dividing squares in half once diagonally so that the fabric's straight grains, lengthwise and crosswise, run parallel to each triangle's short edges.
If the triangles were cut as we do setting triangles, by dividing a square twice diagonally, the stretchy bias edges would be parallel to the short edges, where they would probably become distorted as you add more pieces to the quilt.
You Might Enjoy a Round Robin Exchange
You may see groups of quilters who are participating in a round-robin exchange. The result is a medallion quilt. Here's how the exchange (normally) works.
- A group of quilters join the exchange and agree to work on each other's quilts.
- Each quilter sends a 'starter' block to someone on the list of participants. Quilters can usually send fabric (but that's optional) and can offer design ideas for their quilt.
- The first person who receives the starter adds design elements around its sides. The quilter may or may not follow the wishes of the quilter who sent the starter (read guidelines before joining an exchange).
- When finished, each member of the group sends the partially completed quilt to the next person on the list.
- The quilts all arrive back home when everyone in the group has completed her or his share of the sewing.
It's best to know the people you are exchanging work with before you join. Hostesses always create guidelines, but some quilters are beginners and may not add design elements that are as intricate as the work of others. No matter what type of quilting swap you join, think of it as a fun experience and don't expect perfection from everyone in the group.

12 Hilarious Conclusions You Can Draw from Popular Fairy Tales
Posted on Nov 18, 2016
We all remember those pretty much standard conclusions we were left with after reading famous tales and watching cartoons as children. But what happens if we try to change the perspective and perceive the well-known legends a bit differently?

After two draws and a defeat, St. Pauli finally got their first 3 points of the season with a much improved performance against 2.Bundesliga newcomers Sandhausen. Andre Schubert had opted to keep faith with the 4-4-2 formation that had been questioned in the opening weeks of the season, and he was finally rewarded with a hard-fought victory. After an hour, it felt like it was going to be another frustrating afternoon for the boys in brown, but having survived a few scares and missed a host of chances, Fin Bartels finally found the back of the net with a superb volley from the edge of the box. Ebbers made it 2-0 on 76 minutes, but a late Sandhausen goal caused some concern. Thankfully, St. Pauli managed to hold out and pick up the first victory of the season. Next up is a two week break because of international matches, before a trip to Köln on Monday 17th September to face Holger Stanislawski's winless side.

We worked on vivid visualisations of the fabrics and designs of the dresses Designer Café had in their collection.
These designs were projected on a plain white dress in the shop window.
The installation was enriched with an interactive feature that made the dresses and shop lighting change whenever someone walked by.

What I day dream about is warm lighting, a fireplace if possible, light tempting smells, a good crowd and a nice home style meal–heavy sauces, substantial meat and vegetables, plus ravioli (favorite), chased by a bottle of Riesling and then a heavenly dessert, accompanies by an Ice wine (your choice). Then I would sip a glass of Lambrusco while I socialize (digest) around the fire. The ITIS will loom.
according to Eater NY–here are some places to eat (or be seen and spend serious cash) according to ME -know that just by them being on the list means you probably would have needed to reserve yesterday-before the list came out.
Leave a comment on your plans–any special restaurants, any special meals (traditional, first time trying), any special ceremonies, etc. I will post features of our holiday culinary adventures in the New Year.
Happy Holidays
Also we give a shout out to the families effected by the recent unthinkable. Be well and our thoughts are with you!!!

Weeks have passed since Mal defeated her mother, Maleficent (now a tiny lizard), and everything seems peaceful for her and her friends. However, there have been some weird weather patterns happening throughout the United States of Auradon that cannot be explained, and there have been some mysterious attacks in a nearby kingdom.
Then, there are the messages.
Mal and her friends each receive a message telling them to return to the Isle of the Lost before Saturday night. They have no idea who sent them this message or why they want them to return, but after some hacking Carlos is able to find out that there is going to be a meeting of the Anti-Heroes club the night they were told to return to the Isle. Going against their better judgement, the four former villains decide to travel to the Isle to find out what this club might be plotting and to stop them before they disrupt the peace in Auradon.
To my surprise, I did not enjoy this book as much as its predecessor, The Isle of the Lost. Part of this is due to the fact that the villain kids are lacking the edge they had in the first book and the beginning of the Descendants movie. I get that they chose good in the movie, but it seems as though their transformation to good was too drastic in such a short time. Yes, Mal and Jay had a few moments where their bad side showed, but they were still much more tame than the first book.
Aside from that the plot was interesting, since it book took some turns that I wasn't expecting and it kept me on my toes as I waited for certain events to either happen or not happen. It was similar to the first book where each of the kids had their own battle to face on the Isle, only this had more of a focus on the new friendship the four now share.
There were some new characters who made small appearances that I liked, including Genie's daughter, Jordan, and a few more of the villain kids that our old VK's encounter on their trip home.
It was a little disappointing how fast-paced the story went, (I always appreciate a little more drama) but overall the book wasn't bad. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the Descendants franchise and is impatient for Descendants 2 to come out next summer.

May we all have a happy and prosperous new year !!!
When blogging we tend to start off by having some resolutions in mind.
Today with me it was not different but for one detail:
Facebook brought up a memory of a blog post from january 2014. My new resolution back then was to start vlogging.
What I had in mind back then was that I would start posting more like in this fashion: a written part + a video
I kept this going for a short while and then went back to my traditional writing.
When I came across this blog memory the first thing that came to my mind was:
why is it that we start off with many ideas for the new year and we actually get to work on them but this usually lasts for a short while , or at least shorter than we thought ?
How about starting a new year by looking back at highlights of our accomplishments , rescuing ideas that for whatever reason we left behind , looking back at different outcomes to what we planned ?
When I watched that first and very simple video, I somehow took a trip down memory lane.
I realised that I recorded some other videos throughout the following years. Not in this blog as I had planned at first, but to register participation in congresses , in hang outs on air and even to interview teacher colleagues from around the world.
🎥🎞Here are some videos, both in Portuguese and in English, so you can have an idea:
Encontro com Google Innovators no Google Learning Space do Colégio Mater Dei
Conversamos sobre Aplicabilidade e Tendências da Tecnologia nos Diferentes Cenários Educacionais
Below some of the interviews to talk to teachers from different countries about their action projects using technology to enhance the teaching of English as a Foreign Language. This is a joint work with the committee members of the IATEFL_Learning Technologies Special Interest Group - LTSIG
Interview with Karen McRae
Interview with Graciela Alchini
Below, a joint interview with LTSIG committee member Phil Longwell. We interviewed the two LTSIG Scholarship Winners 2018: Elisa Effendy and Julia Koifman
This was particularly challenging because the four of us were in different parts of the world with distinct time zones and internet connection challenges.
📱Another way of communication, which is actually an extension from this blog, is the Instagram account Informed Teachers_blog on Instagram the agile style in stories and the possibility of sharing to multiple platforms such as Facebook and Twitter is a great help to reach the growing audience of Instagram social media.
So the way I see it now is that, even though my plan took a different turn from what I had originally planned, I can look back and feel proud of how I have been giving my contribution to education. To be very honest with you, it has turned out to be bigger than what I first had in mind back in 2014.
I'd like to encourage you to register and share your teaching practice. Other teachers can learn from you and be inspired by your work. Mute any voice that tells you otherwise. Keep your purpose in mind and act.
I invite you to work on that 💡💡💡💡
Stay tuned in https://www.instagram.com/informed_teachers_blog/
There'll be some talking in the stories on Instagram and some writing here.
YouTube lives are a possibility too ....
I'll keep you posted 📱

Hello Kitty Head of the Class makeup palette
I love Hello Kitty. I love houndstooth. I love nerdy glasses. So when I saw this on clearance for $17 at my local Sephora inside JC Penney, AND I had the Beauty Insider coupon, I decided that I had to have it.
None of the colors have names, but here are my descriptions:
- Warm coral with iridescent pink overspray. This is REALLY pigmented, so use a light hand. I just press my brush lightly onto the surface of the blush, then tap to remove the excess product before applying.
- Matte black with purple glitter. This color is very chalky.
- Gunmetal grey shimmer. Smooth and pigmented, this color is the best in the palette, by far.
- Matte fuschia. Really chalky, and not very flattering.
- Iridescent white. Fairly sheer, not much pigmentation.
The good things about this palette: uh, it's super cute, obviously. Although it's a little bulky, there's a decent amount of product in there, and a mirror.
Overall, the quality is not great on this palette. Even though I paid less than half price, and got to use a coupon on it, I still feel pretty disappointed. I've read some good reviews about other Hello Kitty palettes like this, so I won't write them off completely, but it's pretty unlikely I'll purchase another one.

To borrow a phrase from the incomparable Georgia Nicolson, erlack a pongoes! (Seriously, she does say this but I have no idea why.) I apparently forgot how to read calendars and confirm when I'm to have certain books read by. I'm a couple days late posting about Knocked Out by My Nunga-Nungas, the third book in the Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison and the third book in The Paper Trail Diary's Readalong.
Here's the synopsis for the third book:
Georgia Nicolson is now the girlfriend of the Sex God (aka Robbie), and things are wonderful. Except her loony parents are dragging her off to Och Aye land (aka Scotland), and the Sex God's band's chance at a record contract has left her something of a "pop widow."
Then up rears temptation in the form of old flame Dave the Laugh. Is Georgia about to become a shameless vixen?
"I nearly said, 'Who cares.' But you have to be careful with Jas because she can turn nasty if she thinks you are not interested in her." (page 26)

The Guilderland Historical Society participated in the "New York State's Great Places and Spaces" program at the New York State Museum.
Historical societies from the Capital Region provided information to the public and had table displays representing their organizations.
November 2015
The Simple Life: Guilderland Before Modern Technology? will be the Guilderland Historical Society?s program at their November 19th meeting. Using slides from the society?s extensive photo archive, Mary Ellen Johnson will describe daily life in our late 19th century rural town just prior to the familiar old ways of doing things being overturned with the advent of automobiles, movies, telephones, electricity and radio in the next quarter century.
October 2015
"Smugglers, Spies and Skeletons: Tales of Travel On The King's Highway," a power point presentation given by Steve Rider, is the program scheduled for the Guilderland Historical Society's October 15 meeting. From colonial days until it was replaced by improved turnpikes early in the 1800s, this road was the main route between Albany and Schenectady. This program is the result of five years of research into the highway's history and folklore with Mr. Rider investigating the holdings of local historical societies, libraries and archives. In addition he has walked and photographed fragments of the road still remaining and has unearthed images of buildings which have long since disappeared.
September 2015
"CASEY AT THE BAT" presented by Tim Wiles
At the Guilderland Historical Society?s September 17 meeting Tim Wiles will take on the persona of a 19th century ball player, garbed in uniform of the era, reciting the 1888 comic poem ?Casey At The Bat.? Ernest Thayer?s ballad, which immediately became a vaudeville feature recited thousands of times over the years, has been used or referred to in musicals, drama, an opera, TV, film, books, comics, recordings or parodied. Casey even appeared on a 1996 United States postage stamp, part of a series honoring American folk heroes. The poem is not only part of baseball history, but American popular culture as well.

At the May 21 meeting of the Guilderland Historical Society Dr. Galen B. Ritchie?s presentation ?Three Twentieth Century Archeologists Who Discovered the Prehistory of New York State? will trace the story of New York State?s first three professional archeologists as they investigated New York?s earliest inhabitants and developed a methodical scientific approach to archeological field work.

Coping with Life's Necessaries: Cleanliness and Sanitation in the 18th Century by Michelle Mavigliano
Coping with Life's Necessaries: Cleanliness and Sanitation in the 18th Century was Michelle Mavigliano's power point presentation at the Guilderland Historical Society?s Thursday, April 16th meeting. Ms. Mavigliano, an interpreter on the staff of Albany?s 18th century Schuyler Mansion will acquaint us with the methods our ancestors utilized to cope with their primitive water supplies and inadequate waste disposal, which often resulted in contaminated water and disease.
"Victory Turned Into Mourning: Farewell to Lincoln and Grant at the New York State Capitol" will be the program at the Guilderland Historical Society's March 19th meeting. Stuart W. Lehman?s power point presentation using historic photos will tell us about the sad, and now almost forgotten moments of 150 and 130 years ago which occurred when in April 1865 the body of Abraham Lincoln and in August 1885 that of General and former President Ulysses Grant lay in state at New York State?s Capitol as their remains were passing through by rail to their final funerals. In each instance thousands of local citizens passed through to show their respect for these two esteemed leaders. Mr. Lehman will also display some memorial and mourning artifacts of the period from his personal collection.
Our Home Town by Sean and Conor Quinn
Sean Quinn, an 11th Grader and Conor Quinn, a 10th Grader from Guilderland High School, will give a Power Point Presentation called "Our Home Town".
Last year they became involved in the annual research competition, sponsored by the New York State Archives for students in grades 4 through 12. They decided to examine the lives of Guilderland's 19th Century Chesebro brothers.
The Quinn brothers will describe how they choose their topic, the challenges they met in amassing their information and how they fared in the competition, as well as telling us who the Chesebro brothers were!
On July 5th, the three children of Raymond Lincoln Frederick, Jr and his wife Elizabeth, along with several other family members, were given a tour and informative talk by Mary Ellen Johnson, Vice-President of the Guilderland Historical Society. They viewed several old photos, a poem, and a book which contained family history, as well as looking at the main rooms of the house
They also toured the grounds and gardens.

The Senate voted Wednesday evening to proceed to begin formal debate on the bipartisan, CUNA-supported Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155).
"We're pleased to see S. 2155 making forward progress," said CUNA President/CEO Jim Nussle. "Credit unions have sent thousands of messages of support in just a few days, and we need to keep up the momentum to ensure Senators know that credit union members support this bill."
CUNA has issued a call to action to credit union stakeholders around the country to contact their Senators to urge support of S. 2155, and is continuing its aggressive grassroots support of the bill as well.
CUNA also wrote to Senate leadership earlier this week to support the bill, and is currently engaged as negotiations on amendments and timing are underway.
Credit unions can use CUNA's Campaign for Common-Sense Regulation website to contact their Senators, and can use CUNA's Member Activation Program to activate their members to contact Senators as well.
CUNA-backed provisions in the bill include:

Treat yourself to stay at this stunning 4 star Top Secret Hotel, with great facilities and location in Sevilla. The luxurious and relaxing property enjoys an extensive list of services and amenities that suit both the business and leisure traveller alike. The hotel and its staff are also very welcoming of families travelling with children and accommodate to any additional needs they may have. The onsite restaurant and bar are both great spots for socialising and grabbing a delicious bite to eat or a drink if you don't feel like leaving the hotel.
The interiors of this hotel are stylish and modern and have been finished to the highest standard, throughout the hotel and in every one of the spacious guest rooms. Guests looking to relax and unwind at the end of the day are more than welcome to make use of the outdoor swimming pool and solarium, while business travellers can enjoy the convenience of a business centre complete with photocopying and fax.
The location of the hotel is ideal for the business traveller as it is right in the heart of the congress and financial district, and also for visitors who wish to visit the major tourist attractions as the historic city centre is only 4 km away. For history enthusiasts there are a number of fascinating museums that tell the story of the city's complex past, and including the tomb of Christopher Columbus inside the immense cathedral. The bones of arguably the world's most famous explorer are buried within an ornate tomb and are the subject to much controversy and debate.
Live like a local and head over to one of the open-air markets to grab yourself a bargain, whether it's for groceries or a vintage item picked up in a flea market. The Mercado de Encarnacion and the Mercado de Arenal are both food markets that are well worth a visit, even if just for taking some souvenir photographs. You'll be able to find lots of locally sourced and grown produces including fruit and veg and fresh fish.
One of the best ways to get to grips with a city and not to miss out on anything is by foot and what better way than with a walking tour. Tours set off from lots of destinations around the city, including the historic Jewish Quarter (Santa Cruz) which takes you over the cobbled streets and in and around the picturesque houses, before you can pause at the Flamenco Museum and learn more about the history of the dance and finally watch a live performance inside one of the nearby traditional Jewish houses. ¡Ole!

Cyber Risks & Complying with HIPAA: What You Need to Know
Does My Business Need Cyber Liability Insurance?
As a business owner labeled as a covered entity through the Health Insurance Profitability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), you must comply with both the privacy and security rules. Covered entities under HIPAA include health care providers, health care clearing houses, and health plans. HIPAA was put in place to create a federal standard regarding the privacy of health information and the appropriate way to use and discuss this information.
Unfortunately, when it comes to cyber attacks and complying with HIPAA, business owners and covered entities must be diligent and obtain cyber liability insurance. Since HIPAA covers patients, not covered entities, you must be prepared and have sound patient information handling procedures to reduce risks. Mishandling a patient's sensitive information can lead to fines or even a hefty lawsuit that could put your organization in financial harm. The Ponemon Institute released, Cost of a Data Breach Survey, which shows exactly how costly these incidents can be, with the average cost of an organization data breach reaching $5.4 million.
If a data breach does occur, it is imperative that you take immediate action and inform the state's public health department. Failure to do so can make for a costlier experience indefinitely. Additionally, HIPAA makes you responsible for notifying all affected parties of the data breach. If the data breach affects more than 500 of the state or jurisdiction, you are required to make an announcement in the media explaining the incident.
There is no way to predict a data breach, but there are ways to plan and prepare so that you can handle the situation with ease. Serving Goleta, Santa Barbara, and surrounding cities, contact Brown & Brown Insurance Services of California, Inc., for all of your business insurance needs. Please do not hesitate to give us a call if you are worried about your organization's security. We have the knowledge and expertise to protect your business against a cyber attack.

As a follow up to our 2013 post regarding a Daubert ruling in this case, the Federal Circuit this week upheld the district court's rejection of a $70 million jury verdict, finding that the lower court correctly found a lack of evidence that Cisco defrauded XpertUniverse during a partnership between the firms. As we noted previously, the $70 million claim related to lost business value that Plaintiff's expert computed.
The district court had also ruled that Plaintiffs failed to show that Cisco's concealing their news of denial from XpertUniverse destroyed Plaintiff's partnership opportunities that led to the lost business value. In short, Plaintiffs failed to prove causation, which the judge had warned them about in the March 2013 Daubert ruling that permitted presentation of the $70 million in claimed damages.

Last summer, a waterfront property in Greenwich, Conn. became the most expensive property available in the United States. Cooper Beech Farm, which spans across 50 acres and features a mile of water frontage on the Long Island Sound hit the market with a staggering $190 million price tag. The estate has not been publicly listed for more than a century since the current owner, timber tycoon John Rudey, bought the home more than 30 years ago in an off-market deal. The property was first purchased in 1896 and Harriet Lauder Greenway purchased it in 1904 before living there for 75 years.

God's Promises to Father Abraham
One of the central characters in the book of Genesis is Father Abraham. God calls Abraham to move to a different place, a location that God would reveal to him as the journey progressed.
Because of Abraham's obedience and faith. God promised to make him into a great nation. But the story doesn't end there. As Abraham continues in obedience to God, God keeps promising him more and more.
Consider the following sequence:
"I will make you into a great nation" (Genesis 12:2).
"You will be the father of many nations" (Genesis 17:4).
"I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you" (Genesis 17:6).
"All nations on earth will be blessed because you have obeyed me" (Genesis 22:18).
With each step of obedience, the scope of the promise increases. God's ultimate promise to Abraham is that all nations will be blessed through him.
Why? Because Abraham obeyed God.
What might God do through us as we obey him?
Peter DeHaan writes about biblical spirituality. He seeks a fresh approach to faith and following God through the lens of scripture, without the baggage of manmade traditions and practices. Read more in his blog, books, and personal weekly email updates.

The application form and supporting material must reach the Museums and Galleries Officer, SRS, at the address stated by 5pm on the closing date in order for the proposal to be considered. No extensions will be granted. Application results will be available from around six weeks after the deadline. Details of the accepted projects will be posted on the SRS website. Please note that members of the selection panel will not enter into discussion about failed submissions.
The number of applications to be supported will vary according to the duration and cost of the successful individual projects.

Original research towards a publication or exhibition. Applicants are encouraged to have the written permission from their institution to take time for the proposed research; if not, they should explain how the proposed research can be conducted in their own time.
Applications will not be accepted for projects that have already been completed.
Who is eligible?
The following people are eligible:
- Museum, library and archive professionals (curators, librarians, archivists, conservators, educators etc.). This scheme is intended for museum, library and archive professionals rather than the academic staff of universities and other institutions of higher education.
- Freelance museum, library and archive professionals are eligible to apply. However, prospective candidates should make contact with the SRS Museums and Galleries Officer before submitting their application in order to determine their eligibility.
- Unsuccessful applicants may re-apply in future years for the same or different projects.

Claiming Expenses
Reimbursements will only be issued on submission of coherent accounts and corresponding receipts or invoices and on production of a final report (see below). It is therefore essential to keep all receipts and account for your expenses accurately and clearly.

My sister and I have been talking about working together on a bunch of projects this year. We are both very excited to make both things for our homes and for ourselves and our children. Today we spoke for a little while and solidified our intent to get our craft on.
She started making a tangible list of projects and that has inspired me to make a list of projects too. With the thought of creative list making in mind, I was wondering what blogs inspire you. We have discussed it here on MDM in the past, but I was wondering if anyone had any new inspiration blogs to offer.
A few that I have been enjoying and gleaning inspiration from are:
Burdastyle – a site dedicated to sewing and altering patterns to express your own individuality. There are a whole bunch of free patterns that you can download and and print out, and some that are offered at very low prices. Their blog is very active and frequently makes say out loud, "I want to make that!"
The Purl Bee – While I would classify myself as NOT being a knitter, I do enjoy fiber arts and one day will put myself in that category. Until that time, I find a lot of inspiration for projects from the Purl Bee. They have many knitting projects but they also have a lot of other types of projects too.
Nap Time Crafts – I love this site because it constantly reminds me that even with small children I can still make time to work on projects. She has really colorful and cute projects for herself and her home and often puts together tutorials for the things she makes. She's very big on sharing knowledge and telling her readers how she made things and I LOVE that attitude.
The Little Green Notebook - This site is run by a woman who is a great home decorator. She is getting back into the game and opening her business after having children. She posts projects she has worked on for both herself and her clients, things that inspire her and how she did the occasional project too. I find a lot of inspiration from both her designs and in where to buy certain items.
Steep Street - As a photographer, I have been finding great inspiration from this blog. She always inspires me with her creative use of PhotoShop and her ability to capture the light and see things in angles that I might not think of. She has really inspired me to learn my software better and be able to use my tools to create more creative art pieces.
What has been inspiring you lately? Are there any projects that have been bouncing around in your brain lately? Are there specific colors or themes that have really been catching your eye lately? Where are you finding your creative inspiration?

The local derby between South Fremantle Bulldogs and East Fremantle Sharks was a memorable one on the foundation day long weekend, not only because the Sharks gave the bulldogs a good old fashioned belting I got my best photo of the season so far. Kym Monteath was streaming into goal and soccered from mid air in one of the goals of the season. This frame captures him mid flight (matrix style) before scoring the goal.

WeChat and Weibo are impacting Chinese netizens' lives in leapfrog speed.
Want to succeed in this social media craze in China? Experts have given 3 tips you cannot overlook.
1. KOLs and no they are not for conversion
Ben Xu, Vice President of Weiboyi, said that the worst thing a brand can do is to constantly talk talk talk about themselves! Instead, let KOLs speak!
Some die-hard followers will go the extra length of creating accounts to boost the number of their favourite KOLs. (don't worry, there are solutions!)
2. Report Card: conversion or awareness?
"Some KOLs may have lower engagement rates, but their posts are shared at multiple levels," said Maggie Wang, VP, commercial and ecommerce of AdMaster said.
For instance, during Singles' Day Sales, few consumers shared about the live-steaming by Tmall, but many were buying.
So, what is important to you?
3. Platform War
Did you even know mum and baby care products show better performance on Weibo and beauty products work better on WeChat?
Ben Xu, vice president of Weiboyi, the KOL database and advertising platform, said the worst thing that brands can do on social media is to talk about themselves. "The talking must be done by the KOLs, people who are on the same wavelength as the audience," said Xu. "Fans are already aware that it is paid endorsement, but they are willing to engage provided that the content is good."

8 Dungeons We Want to See Remade to WoW
8 Dungeons We Want to See Remade to WoW
We dive in to the plethora of dungeons and raids you can run in World of Warcraft to find the eight best ones we feel need a redesign.
So I must have missed something, since I've not gotten Legion yet and won't for a little bit.
I knew shit went down, but I thought Anduin was in charge now, not Genn Greymane.
"Everytime a hunter pulled aggro, we took a shot..."
Liver = dead. Hunters have to pull aggro; it's just... it's what they do.
Kara got a remake. I'd love to see BWL get a makeover, as well as Ulduar. Still think Ulduar was the height of Blizz's raiding creativity. Was hoping that Uldum would actually turn out to be an underground city or instance... but nope, instead we got a shitty desert land... again. Ugh.
Ehhh, I dunno about things like Naxx and Scholomance given Scholo got updated with MoP and the Scourge aren't very... lore important at the moment (well, unless you're a DK)? Same with Molten Core - I don't think you could really update it without Ragnaros, and given he's canon dead (Heroic Firelands) it just... wouldn't have the same flavour.
AQ I could get behind - I've a feeling we're gonna get some more Old God shit after Legion is over, so prime time to buff that shit up, maybe give Ulduar a bit of an overhaul too. Apparently, according to some lore whispers I've heard around the place, we DID kill Yogg'Saron properly, and when an Old God is killed there tends to be some... Shadowy consequences...
Anduin is in charge, but Greymane is the 'Legion' leader (the one leading the big charge in the Broken Shore) and seems to be the military commander for the Alliance. For example Anduin is the new PvP boss for Horde players raiding Stormwind, but you interact with Greymane a hell of a lot more in the new Legion zones.
Last time I tried WoW, I wanted to do Shadow Fang, and not only did they screw it (and the surrounding area) up, but every dungeon I did in a group was done at a full sprint with spam AOE's wrecking everything. The bosses couldn't even get out their dialogue before dying. Falling behind even slightly would some times result in a boss kill before I could even hit it once. F***ing rubbish.
They might as well, recycling old shit has been WoW's MO for years.
Please, no more Dire Maul. I've got PTSD from unsuccessfully farming the Orb of Deception there. I got my orb from a random mob when farming leathers in Winterspring, but the joy was mixed with grief at all the untold wasted hours of farming in Dire Maul, only to get it when not even trying to.
That would be because they've redesigned the game system several times since the vanilla dungeons were all released. They reduced the time required to level significantly, and increased the power of the players themselves. A level 40 now is on par with what a level 60 was back then. If you want slower, more methodical, and WAY harder dungeon runs, you should try heroics or mythics at max level, or even just the new legion dungeons at level 100-109.
I miss Shadowfang being more worgen based, but the forsaken have driven that out of the area. Instead perhaps a new worgen based instance could pop up on bloodmoon isle/surrounding areas. Could be interesting if the the more feral worgen clans took over a large portion of Grizzly hills in our absence with one of Arugal's disciples at the helm? Maybe some of that dark mojo from killing Yogg that Wrex mentioned can further transform the worgen and a large portion of the area could even be used as an outdoor raid.
When I read the title, I thought they meant remaking famous non-WoW dungeons into WoW dungeons. Like the Tomb of Horrors. Good luck getting out of that one.
Good list, particularly Shadowfang Keep as I always thought it had the most engrossing lore. Also Scarlet Monastery for all its different instances, and I have these fond memories of Deadmines even though that might be just blinded by how many freaking Alliance toons I ran through there...
Yeah, they're not like that anymore, thankfully!
Right now it's;
Normal - Leveling up
Wasn't Tomb of Horrors an area you had to exploit to get in near the entrance to Karazhan way back when? I remember a tomb that had the room of the upside-down sinners.
Wrong Tomb of Horrors... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Horrors

Hey, hey! Firstly, I'm over at Crystal Collier's today for the Truth & Lie Game! Hop over and laugh at how many times I've gotten lost. ^_^
Next up: Announcement Time: "Winter's Siren" has an official release date and an official blurb! More on that later. I first want to talk a little bit about confidence and gut checking. ^_^
When I made the decision to publish NO REST FOR THE WICKED, the original plan was to wait for my beta to tell me it wasn't trash and THEN make a decision. But it was like, I either think that thing is good or I don't. The notes should only serve to make it better. And honestly, I've been in the writing game for a little while now, I think I know when I have a ball of crap on my hands. Happy side effect of having so much crap to stand on. ^_^
You, the author, are the first line of defense. A shoddy foundation always caves in on itself. I will see warning signs and an electric fence before I come close to breaking my neck. Bad plot signs. Emotional wreck signs. Bridge out signs. I have to be honest myself and stop. And for my sanity, I have to write something I love. If I do, there's a universal guarantee that someone else will love it, too. 😀
Sometimes comparison is a good thing. I mostly compare myself to myself – "is this at least as good as the last thing I wrote?" But sometimes I compare myself to someone I think is amazing. I figure, if I can compare my story to theirs and not want to hang it, then that's good! Hopefully, the beta notes on "Winter's Siren" won't be too bad, but I'm fairly confident the story isn't a train wreck or I wouldn't be moving forward with it. I'm a somewhat clean writer to begin with, and I learned a lot from my last editor. 🙂
I'm significantly lacking in confidence with "The Puppet Box" right now though. I'm in the "should I dump this" part of the process. I really like what I've written whenever I read over it, so I guess I haven't gotten into a good stride with it yet. I forget in the high of finishing something how often I want to trash something while drafting. I questioned my sanity several times at different points with "Winter's Siren." And at one time, I had shelved NO REST FOR THE WICKED. I keep writing "The Puppet Box" because I want to. Just like I wanted to keep writing the other two. Trust the process. 🙂
Now, exciting news! 😀
OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE (WINTER'S SIREN): November 1, 2017
For the last five years, Fawn has been the star soprano of a secluded opera house, forced to sing for her kidnapper.
His daughter, Devi, waits patiently in the shadows, hiding a face so horrible that no one who's seen it will look at it again.
As Fawn plots her escape, whispers spread through the shaded corridors of dark sorcery, warning her that she must flee by the next opening night.
But when Fawn draws close to the exit, it's Devi who's standing in her way, leading Fawn to suspect that Devi has something to gain if she fails.
(a dark reimagining of Swan Lake)
There are accidental elements of Rapunzel, The Phantom of the Opera, and possibly The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I did take a musical theatre approach with this, but Swan Lake was the sole inspiration, and I think all of those elements are there.
"The Puppet Box" (a horror/very loose reimagining of a folktale that I'll reveal once the story is complete) has a tentative release date of Spring 2018. Because of the horror elements, I was tempted to publish it in October of next year, but when I was doing publishing research, I discovered that there is no perfect time to publish a book. So…I'll just publish stuff when they're ready. 🙂
As of right now, I'm planning on writing "Once There Was Chaos" next – my weird concoction of genres thing that I'm putting a supernatural horror label on. It has a possible publication date of Fall 2018, if it isn't a giant mess, and if I actually write it next. But I played around with chapter one a little over a year ago now! And the main character has taken to screaming pretty loud in my ear, so I think it's time to get in that crazy head of hers. ^_^

GuildQuality customer satisfaction surveys enable homeowners to rate their contractor on a scale of zero to four (with zero being the worst and four being the best) in all sorts of categories. Our members can publish a summary of those answers here on their profile page, displaying a bar for as many or as few questions as they like. The score for each category indicates the percentage of survey respondents who answered a three or four to that particular question.Learn more about the feedback published on this page.
We display two types of written homeowner feedback on GuildQuality member profile pages: Comments and Reviews.
In response to our customer satisfaction surveys, homeowners share lots of comments about construction quality, communication, or any other question asked in the survey. Guildmembers can selectively publish these comments here on their profile page.
Reviews are different than comments. These are star ratings that homeowners ask us to publish, and they come with a written description of the type of experience they had working with their contractor. We publish all of the reviews we receive: positive and negative alike.Learn more about reviews and comments.

One woman was in jail this weekend-arrested for being drunk in public. She didn't want to be identified, but she told us about her experience in the Palm Springs Jail.
"Horrible. I don't want to come back here . . . They put you in a room. You have nothing but concrete. They give you a blanket, no pillow. I was freezing."
She hated her 10 hours behind bars. But she does say the jail staff treated her well and checked on her often.
She was given a citation and has to be in court next month.

In the lead up to and following Record Store Day, there are always countless articles, radio and tv packages, polls, vox pops and general discussion about vinyl. This year, however, there is a more tangible spin on the 'return of vinyl' as 2016 is set to crumble last year's already record breaking figures for the sale of vinyl.
In January, we brought you the news of the expanding sales of LPs and turntables, in the first 3 months of 2016 however, 637,056 records have been sold in the UK. With 2.1 million discs of black wax selling in the whole of 2015, you can do the maths.
As some of you may have seen, ICM with the BBC ran a poll of vinyl junkies, it illustrates than not only can streaming sites and vinyl copies of music co-exist but that ad driven streaming sites have actually boosted vinyl sales.
Geoff Taylor, of the British Phonographic Industry explains: "Younger fans increasingly discover on digital but collect on vinyl. [They] appreciate the immediacy and convenience of services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play to discover and enjoy a huge range of new music, but still want to own and collect albums by artists they truly love."
45% of buyers listened to an EP or LP on a streaming site before forking out for the physical release, the poll also suggested that a large portion of vinyl buyers don't listen to their purchases. 48% of the surveyed music fans revealed that they haven't listened to the last record they bought of those 'non-music fans,' 7% did not own a turntable!
Like all polls or surveys, this doesn't represent the whole of the vinyl community in Britain, but it does show us that the boom of streaming sites and the vinyl industry over paid digital content and CDs is a relationship that is mutually beneficial.

Author: Jeff Armstrong/Wednesday, August 21, 2013/Categories: Green Initiative
It is often said that companies looking to initiate a meaningful green strategy are encouraged to start with the low hanging fruit. Projects that get employees engaged with green ideals, deliver quick results and don't cost much to implement are great places to start.
Company printing is one of the easiest and most impactful places to start a green initiative in the workplace.
Think for a moment about what print is. When someone clicks print, a witch's brew of electricity, dead trees and toner come together to produce a simple page.
You can almost hear the Macbeth witches every time a document spits out: Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn, and caldron bubble. Eye of newt, toe of frog… well, you get the picture.
When companies look for ways to temper the caldron fire and analyze what really needs to be put on paper, the most logical place to start is with who is doing the printing – their employees. Most of us go about our day, unaware of the dramatic, compounding cost associated with clicking print.
How can you get people to think before they click?
Measuring and creating awareness of print activity through reports is a powerful first step toward changing user behavior. Measurement should include data on what is being printed - where and by whom – as well as the financial and environmental costs of their print jobs. This not only helps shape an overall printing strategy, but will also allow you to provide feedback to your end users about their printing behaviors.
Software apps like PaperCut help organizations reduce their print costs and environmental impact. Behavior modification occurs in a rewarding way by calculating the financial and environmental impact each time a user chooses to print or not to print. End users are shown how they are doing right by their employers and the environment through pop up boxes tabulating the on-going dollars, trees and energy they have saved through their decisions.
The end-users get the warm fuzzies, the company saves money, less is consumed and users generally find that their work becomes easier when paper is removed from the process. It is good all the way around.
The tools are out there to help users question what really needs to be put on paper and help simmer down that printing caldron. Is your company ready?
