What is a woman?
A real woman is a man's best friend. She will never stand him up and
never let him down. She will reassure him when he feels insecure and
comfort him after a bad day. She will inspire him to do things he never
thought he could do; to live without fear and forget regret. She will
enable him to express his deepest emotions and give in to his most
intimate desires. She will make sure he always feels as though he's the
most handsome man in the room and will enable him to be the most
confident, sexy, seductive, invincible . . . No wait . . .
I'm thinking of alcohol.
Woman's VS Man's Poem
Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long, One who thinks before he speaks, One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed, When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door, Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man, who'll make love to my mind, Knows what to answer to "how big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end, And always be my very best friend.
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs Who owns a liquor store and a golf course. This Doesn't rhyme and I don't give a crap.
Question Of Height
A man walks up to a woman in his office each day, stands very close to her, draws in a large breath of air and tells her that her hair smells nice.
After a week of this she can't stand it any longer! The woman goes into her supervisor's office and tells him that she wants to file a sexual harassment suit against the man and explains why.
The supervisor is puzzled by this and says, "What's wrong with the co-worker telling you your hair smells nice?"
The woman replies, "He's a midget!"

Three Wishes
A man is walking down the beach and comes across an old bottle. He picks it up, pulls out the cork and out pops a genie. The genie says "Thank you for freeing me from the bottle. In return I will grant you three wishes."
The man says "Great. I always dreamed of this and I know exactly what I want. First, I want 1 Billion dollars in a Swiss bank account." Phoof! There is a flash of light and a piece of paper with account numbers appears in his hand.
He continues, "Next, I want a brand new red Ferrari right here." Phoof! There is a flash of light and a bright red brand-new Ferrari appears right next to him.
He continues, "Finally, I want to be irresistible to women." Phoof! There is a flash of light and he turns into a box of chocolates.
Divorce Barbie
Ralph was driving home one evening when he suddenly realised that it was his daughter's birthday and he hadn't bought her a present.
He drove to the shopping mall, ran to the toy store and said to the saleswoman, "How much is that Barbie in the window?" In a condescending manner, she says "Which Barbie?" She continues, "We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for 319.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for £19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for £19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for £19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for £19.95, and Divorced Barbie for £265.00".
"So why is the Divorced Barbie £265.00 when all the others are only £19.95?" asks Ralph
"Well that's obvious" says the saleswoman "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture…."
Female hormones in beer
Harvard scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoeostrogens) and that by drinking enough beer, men turn into women.
To test the theory, 100 men were fed 8 pints of beer each within a
1-hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects:
1.) Gained weight
2.) Talked excessively without making sense
3.) Became overly emotional
4.) Couldn't drive
5.) Failed to think rationally
6.) Argued over nothing
7.) Had to sit down while urinating
8.) Refused to apologize when obviously wrong
I Don't Think So!
Kate was standing in the kitchen cooking dinner.
Her husband Paul was in the living room drinking a beer and watching the game.
"Honey, you need to come in here and fix the fridge. The door is broke and if you don't fix it the food will go bad." Kate said.
Paul yells back, "Who do I look like the GE man, I Don't think so."
A little while later Kate says, "Honey, you need to fix the hall light, it's out."
"Who do I look like an electrician, I don't think so, " Paul says.
A few minutes later Kate says, "Honey, you need to fix the porch step before someone gets hurt on it."
Paul quickly replies, "Who do I look like a carpenter, I don't think so."
Frustrated, he gets up and leaves.
He decides to go to a bar down the road.
After the game was over, he began to feel slightly guilty for the way he treated his wife so he went on home.
He comes up the porch and realizes that the step is fixed.
He walked into the house and noticed that the hall light was fixed.
He walked into the kitchen to get a cold beer and noticed that the fridge was fixed.
Paul sees his wife and says, "Babe, how did you fix all this."
She looked at him and said, "Well after you left I began to cry on the porch.
A fine young man walked past and noticed I was crying and he asked me what he could do to help.
He fixed everything.
I asked him what I could do for payment.
He said I could either bake him a cake or sleep with him."
Paul says, "Well, what kind of cake did you bake him?"
Kate looks at him and replies, "Who do I look like Betty Crocker, I don't think so!"
Shopping for a Husband
A store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman may go to choose a husband from among many men. The store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men have jobs.
The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men have jobs and love kids.
The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking.
"Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"
The fourth floor sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework.
"Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight.
The fifth floor sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak.
"Oh, mercy me! But just think… what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes.
The sixth floor sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 6,875,953,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.

My journey began on Dec. 24. 2012. I was getting ready for work (I am a nurse working nightshift). While I was getting ready I saw my "TRUE" reflection in the mirror for the first time in a long time. This was something I had not paid any attention to for years, but something was different this night. I saw the truth staring back at me and it was a jolt to reality. I was going to turn 50 next June and I knew my metabolism was going to take another hit.
I was extremely overweight and very unhealthy as well. I had been diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic in 2010 and was on medication to control it. Instead of seeing improvement in my HgbA1C numbers they kept creeping up. I was the reason for this. I started off taking my medication as prescribed and following the diet recommendations set forth by the nutritionist at my Primary doctor's office, but then I found myself slipping back into my old ways of eating and "thinking." I would be the one that would stop and get 4 cupcakes on my way home, all the while rationalizing that I can eat this and just take my medication to cover it. My mind controlled what my body did. I started eating the wrong foods again, using food as a means of comfort. I turned to food for everything. Whether I was stressed, sad, happy or just plain bored, food was there as my constant companion. I was in a constant state of what I now know is called "mindless eating."
I slowly gained up to 285 lbs and continued to buy clothing one size larger without batting an eye. It was the norm for me. My highest clothing size was a tight 24. No one around me ever said anything about my weight gain as it was gradual, but once I made my decision to do something about it for good, I started hearing the support for the journey I was about to embark on. My family always supported me no matter what, but they were quietly concerned as they watched me gain over 100 lbs and saw my unhappiness rise. When I discussed with them that I had decided to seek out information on Weight loss surgery through Rex Surgical Specialists, they were so excited for me.
I signed up for the first information seminar I could get into on Jan 8, 2013 and I was on my way. As I listened to Dr Sharp and Dr Ng discussed the different options, I knew, based on the amount of weight I needed to lose that Gastric Bypass was the route for me. I also knew I that I was going to be their "Poster Child" for compliance and told them so at my first Doctor visit. I was so motivated for the first time in my life. It's hard to explain, but I was finally doing this for ME. Not some "event" I was planning on attending for someone else, but for ME! I also knew that the surgery was not the Be All to End All. It was only a tool to help me in my weight loss journey. I still had to put in the time and effort and all the hard work to make it successful. I knew this was a lifetime change decision, and for the first time in my life…I was READY!
I attended all the nutrition classes, preoperative support groups, counseling sessions and required procedures needed for my upcoming surgery. I was prepared both mentally and physically. This is what impressed me the most about Rex Surgical Specialists. Even though they have a very busy practice, they make you feel as if you are the only patient they have. The time and attention they give to ensure you have a successful outcome is beyond amazing. They are gifted individuals whom I consider my extended family. I took every piece of advice and ran with it…literally. I decided that while I was preparing for my surgery I needed to get my exercise level up to speed so that I could carry on into the post-operative phase. I started walking (hard as it was in the beginning) a little at a time. I would advance my sessions each time. Do a little more. I would pick something to focus on in my route and say to myself, I can make it to that fence post, or next big rock. And each time I would progress a little further.
I started to read Jeff Galloway's book on introduction to running. I followed his advice and training and still do. It made the transition from walking to running easy for me. I love to run and found this was the best form of exercise for me. On my day of surgery I had already lost 32 lbs and was so motivated to keep it going. Through the nutritional classes, my eating habits had changed for the better. I felt completely different on the inside, both mentally and physically. I was ready to see what was in store on the other side for me. My recovery time from surgery was a breeze. They instilled that the healthier you are going into surgery, the easier the recovery. I was all about getting up and moving on. It started in the hospital soon after the surgery, as I was walking the halls as often as they would let me. I had no issues with my fluid/food intake in the days and months that followed because I followed their instructions to a "T". I did not want to rush the eating part because food was not the important factor here. I was!
I was in control for the first time in my life and it is paying off each and every day. My Type 2 Diabetes disappeared and medication was a thing of the past. All my lab levels were headed in the right direction and for the first time in my life I literally FELT healthy! I ran my first race in October 2013, the Color Me Rad 5K. It was awesome! The best experience of my life to date. The sense of accomplishment that I had compared to no other! I knew from there it was on to more adventures. I am signed up to do the Disney Princess Half Marathon and I cannot wait for that! This life changing experience has made me the person I am today. The person with a future full of wonder and excitement. I strive to help anyone I come in contact with who is looking for encouragement and motivation in their weight loss struggles. I can literally say "I have been there and done that" and so can you!

On June 22, 2015 a tornado damaged more than 700 acres at Woodhaven Lakes at 7:50 PM. A double trunk tree fell on our motor home, causing it to be the poster child of the tornado. The picture of the motor home appeared front page on three newspapers and had its own spot on television. We also lost more than nine trees on the front of our lot and more behind. We were fortunate to be home that night. My husband needed a new prescription for his insulin and our doctor was on vacation. When we bought our lot, it was for the shade — now we have sunshine, plenty of it. We have planted five new trees — four survived the winter. Flowers that need the sunshine now have a space in our garden.
We have vacationed at Woodhaven the week of Father's Day in June for more years than I care to count. My husband has always enjoyed good fishing, summer vacations haven't really started yet and the campground is quiet. I noticed that the anniversary of the tornado would be that week but didn't think anything about it. No cause for alarm.
Monday, June 20 had a full strawberry moon on the solstice. It was beautiful. I captured the rising of the moon on my camera. I've learned that in olden times, the Native Americans picked strawberries to the light of the moon. I also learned that there wouldn't be another full moon on the solstice for 50 years. I don't think I will be around then.
Storms were predicted for June 22. I turned our weather radio on. The weather person explained the meeting of the cold front coming into the area with the warm front and the possibility of tornadoes at the junction. Sadly the junction was in our area. The tornado sirens went off at 7:30 and we moved to a safer place. I stood in the shelter of the comfort station talking to others with my eye on the sky while my husband sat in the car listening to his ham radio with our dog. I will admit that I sent a few prayers up for safety from the storms. Thankfully the tornadoes stayed to the north and south of us. There were four touch downs in our area, 18 tornadoes sighted to the south, four doing significant damage. Security came by to tell us the danger was over.
The question now is — will we be at Woodhaven June 22 in 2017? Time will tell. The weather has become more violent world wide. I miss old fashioned rain.

Potato starch is a fine powder which is extracted from the starch found in potatoes. Similar to flour in its consistency and appearance, the starch is gluten free. Potato starch is sometimes confused with potato flour which is different; it is made from the entire potato and is much more dense and heavy. Although this starch is made from a food product, there are a number of other non-edible uses for this product as well.
Use potato starch in baked goods such as breads and cakes to create goods which are more moist. You can replace wheat regular flour which your recipe calls for with potato starch or do a half and half mixture. Experimentation is the key to finding your preference, for the amount of starch to use in place of flour.
Add potato starch to soups and stews to thicken the broth. In a bowl, mix equal measurements of potato starch and water and stir well. Add the mixture immediately to your soup, not allowing it to sit, as this will cause it to separate. Add small amounts, tasting in between additions. Stop once a smooth texture has been achieved.
Mix potato starch to thicken up gravy which is too thin. Add the starch one tablespoon at a time. After each addition, stir the gravy thoroughly and taste before adding another tablespoon.

Even though it may not feel like spring today, we have started our spring work. We started placing the new furniture around. The Log Cabin received some new porch furniture. I think the new furniture will be very well received.
Also, the deck off the master bedroom in Red Pine Lodge got a couple new chairs and a table. So, you can just sit and relax more comfortably in the morning. you will also see the new, larger furniture on the 3 season porch in Red Pine Lodge. We sat on it and it was super comfortable. Since that lake home can sleep up to 18 guests, we thought we better put more furniture in there.
We have lots more changes coming. A new couch will be put into Timber Wolf and a Log Futon to White Pine. 4 new recliners have already been placed. We have 10 twin mattresses and one double mattress being delivered in 2 weeks.
We do try to keep thing fresh and new. Just because we are in our 15th season, we don't want to slack!!! I was excited to shop for 10 new comforters, some new dishes and silverware and lots of other things in some of the cabins. You saw some of the new windows that I turned into mirrors in my last blog. I do love this time of year. We get to implement some of the changes that we have been working on and thinking about all winter. We think that those of you that vacation with us this summer will love the changes. It will be a true north woods Minnesota family vacation!!

Tribeca Film Festival kicks off with "The Five-Year Engagement"
(CBS News) The Tribeca Film Festival kicked off Wednesday night with the world premiere of "The Five-Year Engagement" starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt.

What is breast cancer screening?
Screening is a strategy used in a population to detect a disease in individuals without signs or symptoms of that disease. The intention of screening is to identify disease in a community early, thus enabling earlier intervention and management in the hope to reduce morbidity and mortality from a disease. However, not all cancer types are suitable for screening; a "suitable" cancer type should meet the following criteria:
- morbidity of this cancer type is relatively high,
- an effective treatment for early stages of this cancer type is available,
- an affordable test exists for the detection of this cancer type.
Main benefits of screening tests involve significant improvements in disease prognosis, together with the prospect of less radical (mostly also less expensive) treatment which, in fact, is usually much more effective. The following screening programmes have proved to be highly effective:
Breast cancer screening consists in regular mammography examinations of asymptomatic women in order to detect a possible malignant tumour of breast at a very early stage. Cancer detected at an early stage can be cured much more easily and effectively, leading to a better quality of patient's life.

Desert Bridals Featuring a Dress Change & A Cactus With Cascading Florals
That's why when Happy Out Photography sent over this dreamy desert submission with crazy-beautiful florals by Moelleux Events — we couldn't hit "accept," fast enough! The theme for this styled shoot encouraged everyone involved to be themselves and to let their creative talent shine through. And that's just one reason we're lovin' it!
From Happy Out Photography, "I'm from Pittsburgh and couldn't wait to see the sunshine in Arizona and all the gorgeous landscape that isn't available at home. I just knew the muted tones of the desert paired with the bright accents of the florals & succulents would create a stunning contrast, especially when the warm sunlight shined through."

Dell acquires Credant Technologies for device encryption
Dell said the addition of Credant bolsters its data protection strategy by adding encryption capabilities for laptops and mobile devices.
Dell is acquiring data encryption vendor Credant Technologies in a move that it said would strengthen its data protection offerings for laptops, mobile devices and cloud computing initiatives.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Addison, Texas-based Credant Techologies sells file and folder-based encryption and recently added full disk encryption to its portfolio. In addition to supporting the Windows and Mac OS X platforms, Credant can provide encryption for Apple iOS devices. It also supports encryption using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips found in laptops, some smartphones and embedded systems. The company's management software also supports BitLocker.
The company has maintained a close partnership with Dell, integrating Credant full disk encryption within the Dell BIOS, according to a recent research report from Gartner. Dell said the acquisition gives its customers the opportunity to be flexible with encryption deployments, choosing between FDE and file and folder encryption as well as simplified management for more complex deployments.
"The Credant assets will complement and extend current Dell device security features to make Dell Latitude, OptiPlex and Dell Precision computers among the world's most secure,"said Jeff Clarke, president, End User Computing Solutions at Dell in a statement. "When combined with the change in compute behaviors and data in-flight, Dell can now offer a differentiated security proposition based on its own intellectual property."
Bob Heard, founder and CEO of chief executive officer and founder of Credant praised the deal, indicating that the company will be more exposed to Dell's customer base. "Together,we will continue to focus on innovation and building value that result in beneficial outcomes for our customers," he said in a statement.
Credent competes with McAfee, Symantec, Check Point and Sophos which provide data encryption for devices. Microsoft also provides BitLocker, which supports hardware encryption in Windows 8.

By Lisa Tolentino, HC Link Community Consultant with the Ontario Healthy Communities Coalition
Note: This is the second blog post in a series on facilitation techniques and approaches that will be written by various HC Link staff over the next little while. This particular segment focuses on an approach to Peer Sharing, which allows you to draw on the wisdom of those around you.
Following our bi-annual conference last November, we received numerous requests asking for more information on an activity that we facilitated during the Plenary Session on Day 2 called, Wise Crowds. This fun approach to collective problem-solving and networking went over very well with participants!
A Liberating Structure*
Wise Crowds is a technique that was developed by Henri Lipmanowicz and Keith McCandless, who are the authors of a book and website called Liberating Structures www.liberatingstructures.com . The purpose of the Wise Crowds technique is to:
- Uncover solutions to common problems/challenges;
- Tap into the intelligence of the diverse opinions available within a group;
- Generate results without using "outside" expertise;
- Actively build learning, mutual support, and make peer connections;
- Refine one's ability to give, receive, and ask for help;
- Liberate the wisdom and creativity that exists across sectors and disciplines; and
- Create the conditions for unimagined solutions to emerge.
Wise Crowds enables you to engage a group of people in helping one another. You can use it with a large group (as we did with over 100 people at our conference), simultaneously with various small groups, or even with a group as few as four. In a short amount of time, individuals referred to as "clients", ask for help and receive it from other group members. Each of these "consultations" draws on the knowledge and experience of those in the group, so that participants find solutions to real-life challenges, and also increase their capacity for problem-solving. (Lipmanowicz and McCandless, 2013; www.liberatingstructures.com/13-wise-crowds)
HC Link Coordinator, Andrea Bodkin, and I both took a Liberating Structures training workshop where we had learnt the Wise Crowds technique. So we were eager to share it with others when it came time to pick an activity for the conference. Sarah Christie and the Physical Activity Resource Centre (PARC), who sponsored the session, also loved the idea of using it!
We Planned for Success
We determined ahead of time that the purpose of the session was to both facilitate networking, and to gather feedback and advice on the types of challenges that participants were experiencing. We knew that some participants would know each other but that most were likely strangers to one another. While we were aware that this was a one-time event, we were conscious that participants had the ability to make connections and develop longer term relationships. We also knew that people would be coming from different sectors, but that all of them would be interested in and/or working to create Healthy Communities (the common ground). Given that they were coming to our conference, we expected that most of them would be familiar with facilitated processes and have had a positive experience with them. Finally, we polled registrants in advance about their challenges and hopes for the conference – so we were aware of what topics and issues they wanted to discuss, as well as their areas of expertise.
We wanted to set things up so as to enable the greatest amount of information-sharing and draw upon the knowledge, experience and ideas of everyone in the room. Considering we were working with such a large group, we decided to identify the "clients" in advance. On Day 1 of the conference, we asked individuals to identify themselves and be prepared to briefly describe: a) a challenge that they were dealing with, and b) the advice or help that they were looking for from other participants. We explained that they would present their challenge in small groups and then listen as other group members provided suggestions and recommendations.
When the session began the next day, we clarified that anyone not acting as a client would be acting as a "consultant". We asked the consultants to then draw on their skills and experiences from within their own communities and areas of work, so as to offer advice to the clients. One-by-one the clients posed their situations to their small groups, and then they moved onto other tables so as to further gain from the expertise that was located there. In this way, they were able to benefit from consultations at three different tables.
Not only did the "clients" receive suggestions and ideas for addressing their challenges, but the "consultants" also gained by learning from and connecting with the other consultants in the group. Therefore, everyone was engaged in benefitting from the know-how and inventiveness of those around them. To close the session, we ensured that there was time at the end of all of the consultations to both de-brief the activity and further allow participants time to connect with the people that they had just encountered.
Organizing for Variety
Like most great facilitation approaches this one was created based on ideas that came from others, and Lipmanowicz and McCandless (2013) make it clear that the Wise Crowds technique was actually inspired by Quaker Clearness Committees. They also provide all sorts of ideas for organizing the activity differently. In designing the session for our conference, we ourselves became aware of a whole host of ways that we could have used this technique.
For instance, instead of the clients moving from table-to- table, the consultants can do this – it encourages physical activity by more of the participants, and also allows the clients more time to reflect on the advice that they have just received. If you want more people in the entire group to be able to act as clients, and/or you need to be mindful of peoples' ability to move, you can even arrange it so that no one has to change tables at all – you can set it up so that they just rotate who acts as the client at each table (i.e., three different people could each get to present their challenge to the same small group). This can also allow each of the small groups to focus on a particular topic or area of expertise like: working with youth, addressing issues in rural areas, building partnerships, etc. Also, if space, equipment or noise volume are issues, you do not have to use tables at all and need only have circles of chairs – this way people will likely lean inwards and huddle together like a sports team, which further encourages a sense of team work and makes connections. The possibilities are endless…
If you would like someone from HC Link to help facilitate this activity at one of your events, don't hesitate to contact us!

On the same day that Google, Facebook and other tech companies urged stricter reforms to the National Security Agency's surveillance policy, members of the Senate debated whether a bill passed by the House went too far or not far enough in protecting the privacy of Americans.
"The NSA has shown time and time again that it will seize on any wiggle room, and there is plenty of that in this bill," Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., said at a Senate Select Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday.
Snowden Seeks Asylum Outside RussiaJune 2, 201400:25
Most of the debate centered on whether language modified by the House defeated one of the major goals announced by President Barack Obama in the spring: to limit the bulk collection of data by the National Security Agency.
Byers Market Newsletter
The USA Freedom Act passed by the House left the "specific selection terms" — which define exactly what kind of information the NSA can request — too vague and broad for some people and too restrictive for others.
"There is nothing in this bill that would prohibit 'Verizon' or 'Gmail' or the state of Georgia from being used as a specific selection term," said Harley Geiger, senior counsel with the Center for Democracy & Technology, a privacy advocacy group.
Geiger and other privacy advocates want to limit those terms to specific people, phones or physical locations. White House officials, however, argued that strict definitions could limit law enforcement if they were searching for something without the benefit of specific names or telephone numbers, like all purchases of a chemical in a certain area.
Some of the speakers had some choice words for former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who recently told "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams that he was trained as a spy and worked for the United States at high levels. Snowden kick-started the privacy debate by leaking thousands of classified documents last summer.
On Thursday, Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss referred to those leaks as "Snowden's treasonous exposures."
"My phone data is in there with everybody else," said the Republican senator. "I'm not worried because I'm not talking to terrorists, and hopefully I'm not talking to anybody who is talking to terrorists."

The potential for misuse seems to have an almost causal relationship with actual incidents of misuse. By nature, humans push these types of situations for all they are worth, constantly testing the limits of the powers gained by new technologies and information. Trusting in the benevolence and goodwill of those who have access to this kind of information seems highly dubious (and downright unAmerican, really.)]]>
That's of little help in this situation, where the organization being passed to is the government LEA (who manage to hold most of the exceptions to 'privacy laws'). The danger from Walmart frivolously data mining my name and FBI doing the same is significant.]]>
If customers had better control/protection of their data, there would be less risk from sloppy prosecutors purportedly digging up "smoking guns" all over the place.
Remember all the movies where people escape by crossing the river to erase their scent and avoid leaving tracks? Shopping in America is starting to feel like you have to walk barefoot into wet cement. And that is due to overwhelming market pressure that has little or no regard for security and safety concerns until AFTER a major disaster highlights the true risk (e.g. try to eat your next fast-food burger next to the burning mountains of manure in Nebraska). The market is broken and needs to be fixed.]]>
My understanding is that this means, broadly, that no organisation (excepting specifically authorised law enforcement agencies etc) can hold personal information without having an obligation to make copies available to the person involved. In most cases, the information may not be held, or passed on, without obtaining prior permission from the person involved. Usually, the holding of information is limited to purposes disclosed in advance to and accepted by the person involved.
All organisations holding personal information must register with the Information Commissioner (a government agency that reports to the UK Parliament). They must follow certain rules for good practice and are liable to legal sanctions for failures. See http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/ for further information.
Personally, I find it very surprising that the USA does not have similar laws, especially given its general policy of protection of individual rights.
Lack of such laws does not, of course, prevent any company or other organisation choosing to exercise "good practice". Some of the information linked in the above discussion shows that Safeway have a policy that goes, at least, some way towards "good practice" as understood in the UK.
If I've not got it right, on the legal situation in the USA, please do post concerning what actually applies.
I've tried to illustrate just a little bit of this cycle.
The specific issue here is the combination of: (i) are means (possession of fire starters type X), and (ii) motive (desire to destroy house, wife and kids). As stated, there is no evidence of opportunity.
Concerning motive, what proportion of arsonists are husbands or something similar; I assume a a fair proportion; lets say it is 20%. So, initially, the husband must be "in the frame". If he has no alibi, he stays in the frame.
In town, there are a lot of people, almost certainly hundereds, with possession of fire starters type X, only some of whom are identified by a lotalty card or other means. The husband is certainly one of them. There are also all those possible unpremeditated arsonists who might use stuff found at the scene, so there is a some chance that the husband's firelighters were used, but not by him. Thus, on the fire starter evidence alone, the probability of the husband doing it is less that 1%. However, he would have been much less of a suspect if the police had been unable to find any evidence of possession of the "means".
At this point, it might be worth considering how long fire starters of type X have been in the house (from this or previous purchases), and whether there is any evidence for a suspected increase recently in motive.
Given actual arson, and suspected attempted murder, surely the police should seek out all useful evidence, including purchase of the weapon (by all means, including loyalty card records).
Whether or not the police properly considered the balance of the evidence, their having used records for a loyalty card is irrelevent. That is unless you believe that God should wipe clean all evidence, except that pointing only to the guilty party, or that our due legal process should require the same.
That's what I do. I have a friend who lives in Winnipeg. I always tell the checkout person her phone number. There are several of us who do it, so she "shops" all over the U.S. regularly.]]>
So let's say that as a result the guy comes under suspicion for 5 months until the investigation finally ends with somebody else's confession.
Is that an abuse? By whom? (Not to minimize the anxiety or 5 month disruption to an innocent person's life)
Let's say it occured in a larger town with more stores, and the police used some technique or tool to make it practical and effective to question a bunch more clerks, or read through the carbons of all their handwritten itemized receipts, is that an abuse?
How effective does their technique or tool need to be in order for its use to become an abuse?
What new checks and balances do we need in this case (police investigation of crime) to deal with the new ability to easily search massive amounts of inter-related data?]]>
The companies lure you into using these cards by providing admittedly very good sale prices. There is no other advantage to the customer, but there are myriad disadvantages.
If many people begin using other peoples' phone numbers, they'll all continue to get their sale prices, but they'll devalue Safeway's database into junk. Viola, problem solved.
- Warren]]>
This sort of nonsense does real harm to the information security practice since it gives a completely false sense of safety. There is documented risk and real danger to losing control of personal identity information, as demonstrated by ChoicePoint, etc. What percentage of people realize the serious personal risk they take by entering their data into an unregulated shopper-card database? Not many. Security practicioners need to alert people of the dangers and help bring fair regulation to the situation before a serious disaster and subsequent backlash occurs.
If information were useless why would anyone want it? If people can't think this through alone they are susceptible to abuse. Didn't anyone ever tell them there is no such thing as a free lunch?

Early detection of lung cancer increases chance of survival
Valley View Hospital
Lung cancer kills more Americans than breast, colon and prostate cancers — combined. It is the leading cause of cancer death nationally and in Colorado. Many people don't realize that nearly 80 percent of those diagnosed with lung cancer are people who have never smoked or former smokers who quit decades ago.
Screening those at high risk with low-dose CT scans can save tens of thousands of lives a year. The Lung Center's full time pulmonologist Dr. Akrum Al-Zubaidi, known as Dr. Aki, started early intervention in 2012, offering two programs for the early detection of lung cancer. In addition to low dose CT scans, Valley View offers early detection through technology that combines detection, diagnosis and staging in one procedure. The Lung Center at Valley View is one of only 14 hospitals in the country to offer this advanced technology.
The procedure brings together two technologies that utilize Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy — a GPS-like technology to locate, test and detect a lesion in the lung, while Confocal Endomicroscopy enables the pulmonologist to see individual cells in the farthest reaches of the lung. For patients, this translates to a more minimally invasive approach to quickly detect lung cancer in earlier stages.
Dr. Aki's goal is to have the lowest mortality rates in the nation here in Glenwood Springs and the surrounding counties of Garfield, Eagle, Mesa and Pitkin. Currently there are 150-200 new lung cancer diagnoses per year in our valley. In 2012, 27 percent of the cases were seen in the early stages, and in 2013 that number rose to 55 percent of cases in stage one or stage two.
"Imagine if we can catch these patients when they are in stage one or two, then we can turn our mortality rates around, and 85 to 90 percent of those patients will still be alive," said Dr. Aki. "We are now equipped with the new technology and the new diagnostic tools to make this happen. And I am personally committed to do everything I can to fight lung cancer here in the Roaring Fork Valley."
For more information about how the Lung Center at Valley View Hospital's new program may benefit you or a loved one, call 970-834-7707.

With the full circle return of minimalist design philosophies of the Golden Age, one could argue that it's all been done in golf course design but we respectfully disagree. While we esteem the rich traditions of the sport and the masterworks of old, we are not afraid to challenge the status quo. When it comes to inspiration we are always on the look for new and innovative ideas in the related disciplines of art, architecture, professional golf, environmental sustainability, real estate, and golf course operations. We lever this unique blend of influences with our extensive experience and passion for the game to create inspiring golf courses that are original works of art.
Go ahead and take a spin below to download some of our recent publications that illustrate our beliefs about golf course design and what we find worthwhile.

In a a lot more typical marketplace.. exactly where there is a reasonable volume of Property for sale and a affordable quantity of Buyers.. we suggest you create your Lead Generation Program around active Brokers and Commercial Agents. The recommendation that you wish to make regards the technique of sale to adopt with the subject property. Their exclusive understanding and encounter marketing and advertising different types of industrial property provides their customers a skilled and knowledgeable foundation for presenting their properties. About 4 commercial or retail properties in one inspection session are about the limit.
These growth surges contributed to the continuation of large-scale industrial mortgage lenders going beyond the time when an examination of the actual estate cycle would have suggested a slowdown. With substantial knowledge and expertise in genuine estate brokerage (Leasing-tenant representation, landlord representation. This is a hint for you to rethink the place for your commercial real estate investment.
Office buildings, malls, industrial parks, hotels, convenience stores, apartment complexes and gas stations are all examples of commercial real estate. Simply because numerous early investors had been hurt by collapsed markets or by tax-law adjustments, the idea of syndication is currently getting applied to far more economically sound money flow-return true estate.
A number of actual estate brokers who I met were obtaining very tough occasions since the banks have been not lending income for deals. Importantly, any conjunction arrangement involving other agent's listings should have a totally signed and documented conjunction agreement prior to you proceed. If they do not have any commercial real estate difficulties that you can fix, then it really is over (for now). In this context, it is pertinent to take into consideration what the specialists in the Business say about the present status of commercial home sector and foreclosures.
You will give in far as well easily (this is what most people do and they therefore struggle to achieve excellent levels of listings and transactions). Inside the Edmonton commercial real estate industry, and in far more than 530 offices worldwide, Colliers International staff work in partnership with our clientele, delivering a full suite of commercial real estate services to accelerate your success. So, step one is finding a true estate lawyer, and accountant who can service your needs.

Sometimes, Reaching objectives can be challenging. And it is due to an unclear idea on how to make things happen, or what way is the right one. I had a period in my Life, where I was lost, and had my plans on my mind, but never found a way to implement them, until I read some books that help me a lot, and attended some workshops on how to attain objectives. If this happens to you as well take a deep breath and follow the following steps that help me a lot. I used to keep one thing in mind; the key element to reach success is to Love what you do until you do what you love. And be sure, nothing will stop you; As Jose Martil said, "Like stones rolling down hills, fair ideas reach their objectives despite all obstacles and barriers. It may be possible to speed or hinder them, but impossible to stop them."
- Be Clear on your end goal
This is a very important step as it helps you have a clear vision on what exactly you want to achieve, hence, it will allow you to find out easier ways to reach it.
- Brainstorm
Take a moment and do a quick brainstorm on two major things;
First, how and why did you fail in the past, this will help you avoid making the same mistake again. One of the very wise and smart things to do is to evaluate yourself on a regular, or daily basis.
Secondly, brainstorm on possible ways to achieve your end goal.
- Make a plan
After brainstorming, choose the most relevant plan that you believe will help you reach the end goal
- Prepare a timeline
The objective behind the timeline is for you to respect deadlines and to allow you to know what step is the most critical to be achieved first.
- Believe in yourself
Following the previous steps will help you achieve your objectives, but it will not happen unless you believe in yourself, do not have any doubts even if you face some obstacles, consider them as a motivation for you to prove to yourself that you can do it.

Government Endorsed Chaos On The Border
Source: Arizona Star
Authorities on Monday morning arrested 44 people believed to be involved in a family-run people-smuggling ring that has been operating out of Bowie for more than a decade.This service provided by our weak willed government that refuses to acknowledge the chaos on the border, falling back on ridiculous platitudes everytime they are confronted with the merest hint of reality.
Eleven others are still wanted and all have been indicted on charges of human smuggling and money laundering. *snip*
The ring, dubbed the Juarez Alien Smuggling Organization, is said to have smuggled hundreds of illegal entrants into the country, primarily from Mexico but also from Central America. Snip*
The process, according to the news release, was as follows:
Entrants would be housed in Agua Prieta before crossing into the United States. Guides would then take them through the desert to a predetermined location along Arizona 80, north of Douglas.
Drivers would pick them up there and take them to Bowie. That trip alone cost the entrants anywhere from $500 to $800.
The illegal entrants could not leave Bowie until their fees were paid by relatives. Then, transportation was arranged to Phoenix and other locations throughout the country. The cost to travel outside of Arizona was as high as $2,000 per person.
Failing to pay the smuggling fees had many consequences, including being assaulted, shot or abandoned, said John Lewis, FBI special agent in charge.
Infants and small children were often separated from their parents and brought across the border by young women who posed as their mothers, he added.
The children were often given sleeping pills or Tylenol to sedate them and keep them quiet while going through a port of entry.
During the course of the smuggling venture, people known as enforcers and guides were usually armed and would use the firearms to intimidate, menace and even shoot those who did not comply with their orders, the news release said.
A reminder of another slimy player in this game...
Fees were always paid through wire services such as Western Union to conceal, promote and disguise the nature, location, source, ownership and control of the smuggling proceeds.The misery continues...
For about 30 years, the Juarez family has been involved in criminal activity, said Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever.And why did the Jaurez family have "complete control of the Bowie area?" Perhaps because America didn't and allowed this savage crime cartel a free hand to do their dirty business. When you hear people prattle on about compassion and comprehensive remember this story proudly brought to you by the forces of compassion and comprehensive, our weak willed, corrupt government.
The Juarez family had complete control of the Bowie area, Lewis said. Officials said they hope that the arrests will bring an end to the fear that residents have experienced for decades.

One of my favorite Brian De Palma quotes is 'Coverage is a dirty word,' and I suspect Park Chan-wook would agree with him. Always a master of evocative, precise shots, Chan-wook brings it to a new, elegant level in the wonderful, menacing and sexy Stoker. Any fears that Park would lose his voice during his trip to America, as has happened to so many other Asian filmmakers, can be set aside. This is his best film since 2005's Sympathy For Lady Vengeance.
It's possibly his most beautiful movie yet. A sensual, goth gothic, Stoker is a mannered film with raging passion and insanity just under the surface, perfectly reflecting the lives of the characters within. Mia Wasikowska is India, a rich girl with more than a little Wednesday Addams in her, whose father dies on her 18th birthday. At the funeral her previously unknown uncle, Charlie (a smooth Matthew Goode), shows up, and moves in with the family. India's grieving mother, played with ice queen nobility by Nicole Kidman, falls for the new man in her life, but it seems Charlie is truly interested in India. And that's not even his worst secret.
To say that Mia Wasikowska leaves behind her girlish ways in Stoker is an understatement. While she begins the film as an innocent, moving gradually into a Lolita-like figure, she ends up becoming a fully sexualized woman in a profoundly disturbing and profoundly erotic shower sequence. It's an incredible scene not just because of the sensuality but because of the way Park uses it to turn all of our expectations upside down, to disorient us in everything we thought we knew about this world he had created.
I can't spoil what that is; the journey of discovery during the course of Stoker is extraordinary. It's a film whose opening titles take on stunning new meaning in the end, whose imagery reveals its meanings only after the totality of the film has unspooled. The film is deliberately paced along that journey, but Park makes that pace flow by gracefully keeping us entranced with his gorgeous framing (cinematography by regular collaborator Chung-hoon Chung) and inventive, surprising transitions.
More than that, though, is the electricity of the acting. Often subdued, sometimes almost distractingly mannered, the three leads do a psycho-sexual dance that is nothing less than riveting. In the beginning the style of performance can be disorienting - Park isn't going for exact realism here - but once you settle into the rhythms they enfold you completely.
Wasikowska is stunning, slightly underplaying but maintaining an immediate emotional certainty. We move through the story with her, and it's a testament to Wasikowska as movie star and actress that even if we're a touch ahead of her on certain discoveries we still want to be there when she finds out for herself.
Kidman is fascinating to watch. It's impossible to look at her and not be aware of the extensive work she continues to do on her face - her facial movements are, at this point, extraordinarily limited. But she has been taking roles where that works, and this is one of those. Her character Evelyn Stoker is the sort of vain rich woman who would be getting tons of work done, and the limitations of her expressions speak to Evelyn's repressed, selfish emotions. Beyond that, though, there's a wounded aspect, a feeling of a woman who was caged through her marriage, finally set free, that Kidman essays perfectly.
Wasikowska is the star and the center of Stoker, but Matthew Goode is her binary companion in performance. He's extraordinary, playing a man who is at first charming and suave but slowly reveals himself to be something much, much more sinister. And yet, even as his most sinister aspects are revealed, he remains charming and attractive. Goode has cornered the market on handsome, magnetic, creepy guys.
Each of these actors does incredible things, but it's the overarching strength of the direction that elevates Stoker. The script, by Prison Break star Wentworth Miller, is ever-so-slightly obtuse and subtly perverted, and in other hands it could have been schlock. There's more than a little schlock in here, but it's presented so artfully you forget it, even as blood spatters and belts tighten around necks. Stoker is definitely in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock and Brian De Palma, directors who also approached the seediest of subjects with the greatest of grace.
There was a time when I worried about Park Chan-wook, when I thought Oldboy had been his peak and everything else would be a slow slide in quality. Coming to America made me nervous, as that's been a bad, compromise-filled choice for too many foreign language filmmakers in the past. But Stoker is pure Park Chan-wook, and a movie that feels elegantly transgressive and viscerally exciting. It's an incredible film, from an incredible filmmaker.

Frost Plays Hero Again, Saints 6-5 Walk-Off Winners With Sixth Straight Win At HomeST. PAUL, MN July 7, 2013
ST. PAUL, MN (July 6, 2013) – Adam Frost is making a habit of walk-off wins. During the St. Paul Saints last homestand he hit a walk-off home run and on Saturday night in front of the largest crowd of the season, 8,179, it was a single through the left side that brought on the celebration in a 6-5 win over the Kansas City T-Bones at Midway Stadium. The win was the sixth straight at home for the Saints
With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth and the outfield playing deep Jose Hernandez led off with a fly ball single to right. Dwight Childs, who entered play tied for fourth in the league in sacrifice bunts, laid down a perfect bunt that moved Hernandez to second. Dan Kaczrowski then hit a little tapper to the right of the mound. Pitcher Sean Toler fielded it and had to throw over Kaczrowski, but his throw pulled Matt Padgett off the bag. With runners at the corners and one out Frost lined the first pitch he saw into left, scoring Hernandez for the game winning run. Frost collected three hits for the third straight game and has now hit safely in 11 straight.
The game only ended up in the bottom of the ninth because the T-Bones tied it in the top of the ninth. With the Saints leading 5-4 Matt Meyer came into the game to close it out. After striking out the leadoff hitter he walked Padgett and Kyle Nichols. Devin Goodwin then hit a sharp grounder down the third base line that scored Padgett to tie the game and put runners at second and third with one out. Felix Molina was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Meyer then got Petey Paramore to hit a soft liner to the second baseman Kaczrowski who caught the ball and underhanded to Frost covering second for the double play.
For the third straight game the Saints jumped out to a big lead and it started in the first with back-to-back homers. After Joey Becker singled to extend his hitting streak to a career tying high nine games and reach base safely in 19 straight games, Brad Boyer drilled a two-run homer over the right field wall, his seventh of the season to give the Saints a 2-0 lead. On the very next pitch to Willie Cabrera he hit a solo homer to left, his sixth of the season to make it 3-0.
In the second Hernandez doubled, moved to third on a fly out and scored on a sacrifice fly from Kaczrowski to give the Saints a 4-0 lead.
In the third Boyer and Cabrera led off with back-to-back singles and after a ground out moved them up, Ole Sheldon's single drove home Boyer to make it 5-0.
Saints starter Mark Hamburger cruised through the first four innings, but in the fifth with one out Paramore walked. Kody Hightower singled him to second and Joey Gathright's infield single loaded the bases. Kennard Jones drove home two with a single to make it 5-2.
In the seventh Jones singled off of Hamburger with one out. Jairo Perez moved him to second with a single. Padgett's RBI single made it 5-3 and chased Hamburger from the game for reliever Mikey Mehlich. Kyle Nichols walked to put runners at the corners and an RBI fielder's choice by Devin Goodwin made it 5-4. Hamburger went 6.1 innings allowing four runs on 11 hits while walking one and striking out four.
The same two teams meet in game two of the four game series on Sunday afternoon at 1:05 p.m. at Midway Stadium. The Saints are TBA while the T-Bones send RHP Eric Gonzalez (0-3, 6.03) to the mound. It is Faith and Family Day with a post-game concert from The Fairlead. The game can be heard on Club 1220 AM and in the ballpark on 87.9 FM.

There are some interesting objections to network marketing. The video below provides some responses that addresses those issues head on.
Did You Know?
According to the Direct Selling Association, "U.S. direct sales totaled about $32.67 billion in 2013, with 72 percent of the American public having purchased goods or services through direct selling."
The Main Problem That We All Face
Have you ever been approached about the topic of networking marketing in a way that made you feel uncomfortable? Are you opposed to networking marketing altogether?
The objections below are some of the most common ones I've experienced and what I've learned along the way in my own journey.
Top 6 Objections To Network Marketing
1.) "This is one of the pyramid scams!" – Pyramid schemes are illegal and network marketing today is focused on the exchange of actual products and services that add value.
2.) "Is this some MLM or multi-level marketing thing?" – Yes, but corporations and family trees resemble a similar structure and have an exchange of information or money in some way, shape, or form.
3.) "This is just some get rich quick scheme, right?" – No, most people just use the product and that's perfectly fine. A small minority of people do it for income purposes which is also okay and it usually takes about 1-3 years to see the results you're looking for.
4.) "Well, I'm not buying products that are way too overpriced just so I can pay for all those levels." – So does this mean I'm going to stop buying iphones, stop paying my cell phone bill, and stop shopping at Costco because they have a more premium product that pays other people's salaries and wages? Uh, no.
5.) "Whatever, most distributors lose money anyway." – I never had a problem with shopping at Costco and buying organic and non-GMO figs and not "making any money" with them. This is also true with most people in network marketing. They are perfectly fine with the product or service because it adds value.
6.) "There's way too much hype from biased people." – Google "law of diffusion of innovation" and see how products go from a "crazy idea" to generally accepted by the public (with the exception of a few "laggards").
In Summary
Whether you are for or against network marketing, one thing is for certain; it's here to stay. Network marketing provides a great way for people to use products they believe in or earn an income and work from home.

"Fourth and Goal", the new radio single by Terry Baucom's Dukes of Drive is also the title of their new album on the John Boy & Billy label, slated for official release, February 3, 2017. The single is #1 on Bluegrass Today's Top 20 Monthly songs chart for March.
The song, "Fourth and Goal," combines two of Baucom's favorite things – hard driving bluegrass and football. After hearing the Brad Davis demo of the song, written by Davis and Paula Breedlove, Baucom knew it would be a great fit the band. The song's message, relating a critical football situation to real life, is sure to catch the attention of music fans, but it's the immediate 'drive' of the tune that captures your ear from the start.
Recorded at Wes Easter's Eastwood Recording Studio in Cana, Virginia, this collection of songs includes the first two highly successful singles, "The Rock" and "Around The Corner," featuring the lead vocals of Joey Lemons, a 2016 IBMA Momentum Award nominee in the Male Vocalist category. Along with Baucom and Lemons, the 'Dukes of Drive' features Will Jones on lead and rhythm guitar and vocals and Joe Hannabach on bass.
Here's a review of Fourth & Goal in the March issue of IB from the International Bluegrass Music Association:
Terry Baucom, highly regarded in bluegrass through his work with Charlie Moore, Boone Creek, Doyle Lawson, and IIIrd Tyme Out, continues his career with his own band, the Dukes of Drive. Listeners can enjoy an instrumental written by Terry, a gospel number, and songs that stand up to the reputation of music with drive. This is the third release for Baucom on the John Boy & Billy label and is the first full length project for them. "Fourth and Goal" contains "Around the Corner", which achieved significant chart success last year, plus the chart-topping, most played song of 2015 'The Rock', featuring IBMA's 2016 Momentum Award vocalist Joey Lemons. If you like your bluegrass with drive, this will satisfy your itch. Those looking for fine vocal harmony can find that here as well. There's also the "Charlie Cotton" number for those wanting a salute to writers Sonny Osborne, Benny Birchfield, and Pete Goble as a connection to early bluegrass icons.Terry Baucom and the Dukes of Drive are Terry Baucom (banjo, vocals), Will Jones (guitar, vocals), Joey Lemons (mandolin, vocals), and Joe Hannabach (bass).

Mumbai Tourism Guide - Shopping and things to do in Mumbai, India
Find a place to stay
Mumbai pulsates day and night with every Mumbaikar seemingly in business of one kind or another. Mumbai's telecommunications industries set a global pace from bustling high-rise towers while at street level, the cloth-bashing workers at the outdoor laundries of the ghats remove stains the old-fashioned way for bargain prices.
Tourism in Mumbai is a traveler's paradise with dozens of unique things to do and a location that makes it a gateway to India's most popular travel regions like Goa and Rajasthan. Wide-eyed visitors can spend several days wandering around Mumbai's diverse suburbs before embarking on enthralling onward journeys.
One of the primary business districts of commerce-crazy Mumbai, the Fort area is centered on Dadabhai Naoroji Road where street markets sell books and small electrical goods day and night. Some parts of the Fort area showcase the British fortifications from two centuries ago, when this was the center of the city.
A treasure trove of British colonial grandeur, waterside Colaba is one of the busiest tourist centers in the city and is popular with travelers across all budgets. The luxurious Taj Mahal hotel is here, as are several sprawling dormitories that are popular with backpackers. The Gateway of India monument marks the area.
Just south of downtown, Churchgate is a business, transport and education hub that contains the University of Mumbai and the terminal for the Western Railway. Churchgate Station is the main commuter station for Mumbai's office workers and so it surges twice-daily with incredibly large crowds of people.
Marine Drive (Queen's Necklace)
Marine Drive is Mumbai in miniature, where dozens of five-star hotels tower over a noisy six-lane motorway and an incongruously peaceful pedestrian promenade that attracts locals from all across the metropolis. The string of twinkling lights that decorate the curving bay give the area its nickname.
Bollywood royalty from Shahrukh Khan down maintain ritzy residences in Bandra, the western suburb of Mumbai that overlooks the Arabian Sea and is by far the most upmarket residential part of town. Beautiful Persian and Portuguese landmarks punctuate one of the most expensive strips of real estate in the world.
Four million people call Andheri home. This enormous residential area just north of downtown Mumbai is in many ways the heart of the city and hundreds of schools and churches are located here. The Mahakali Caves are a popular local tourist attraction.

Partnership history[edit]
In December 2012 Józef Piłsudski Institute of America announced[1] search for Wikipedian in Residence. Several potential task ideas were proposed, including working on articles related to Polish diaspora in the US, based on the materials found in the Piłsudski Institute archives and adding materials scanned by the Institute to Wikipedia resources. The Wikipedian-in-Residence position was not immediately filled, but the project started discussions between User:MarekZielinski from the Piłsudski Institute and User:Jarekt about batch upload of Public Domain documents digitized by the Institute to Wikimedia Commons. The Partnerships was approved by the Piłsudski Institute Board on July 14, 2013, and the batch upload is planned for end of 2013 and early 2014. Later, en:User:Piotr Puchalski filled the position for some time.

Methane is one of the three most important greenhouse gases and is considered responsible for 20% of the observed enhanced greenhouse effect. In order to allow sensible emission mitigation strategies, accurate knowledge of methane's emission sources and sinks is necessary. A valuable tool for distinguishing between emission sources is isotopic measurement. Within a sample, the relative concentrations of each methane isotopologue can vary significantly, as different sources and sinks of atmospheric methane can be either depleted or enriched in the heavier isotope. Methane of a biogenic origin, for example, is often depleted in the heavier isotopes due to the preference of life forms to utilise the lighter isotopes when taking in or expelling products. In contrast to this, non-biogenic sources, such as methane formation at high temperatures (eg. through combustion) are enriched in the heavier isotopes by varying degrees. The natural gas industry produces methane of variable isotopic composition, depending on the formation temperature of the gas reservoir. In this way, gas from Russian pipelines can be distinguished from that of the North Sea.
The objective of this project is to develop a highly sensitive cavity ring-down spectrometer for use in the real-time measurement of three stable methane isotopologues in ambient air; 12CH4, 13CH4 and CH3D. The acquisition of real-time, high-precision methane isotope data, when coupled with back-trajectory analysis, can help identify methane emissions by geographic location, time and source type. Such data will be of great benefit to atmospheric research and environmental monitoring.
This research project has received funding from the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007 2013/ under REA grant agreement n° [331683].
