Mobility on Demand Working Group
For Transit Agencies in North Texas
As the Mobility on Demand (MOD) concept continues to gain traction across the country, transit providers in the DFW region are moving forward with implementing innovative transit services, including partnerships with transportation network companies.
In October 2016, FTA MOD Sandbox Program announced DART was awarded $1.2 million to develop an integrated, multimodal application that leverages ride-sharing services to improve ease of access to DART stations, particularly in non-walkable areas underserved by transit. This project will identify opportunities for innovative transit services and partnerships that maintain
federal compliance.
NCTCOG formed the MOD working group in January 2017 to provide a forum for transit agencies, local governments, and other interested parties to support DART's implementation of this FTA MOD Sandbox project, as well as to discuss, coordinate, and promote demonstration of MOD concepts and solutions in the region.
NCTCOG will sponsor the meetings of the MOD working group each quarter.

It is appropriate that in the year of Linda Kozlowski's 10th wedding anniversary to Australia's favourite son Paul Hogan that the now 42-year old actress is starring in a third Dundee film. What's more, as she happily admits, the two characters finally get married in this movie. "Yeah it's true; Mick and Sue do the deed", the actress says laughingly from her Santa Barbara home.
Ty Rose designed Kozlowski's wedding dress for the film, and the actress had as say as to how her on-screen dress would look. "We went to the shop in Sydney's Double bay and checked out some of the fabrics", she recalls. "We then put together, with the costume designer and myself, the look." Comparing the wedding dress she wears in the movie, to the one she wore on her wedding day ten years ago, Kozlowski laughs at the comparison. "God when I got married it was the eighties and Princess Di and opulence were in. I remember wearing this GIGANTIC wedding dress, which was bigger than a house; Paul couldn't even get near me. Now, simple gowns are in and so beautiful. I kept on thinking: Oh I wish they had these when I got married."
The wedding sequence was shot up in Queensland's Gold Coast, with Linda describing the experience as "kinda fun" due to the couple's 10th anniversary, "so it was almost as if we were renewing our vows" except for those nagging cuts and stops all the way through, she adds laughingly. "Plus your hair is all weird and not very romantic."
After 14 years of Mick Dundee first bursting into our lives, the laconic Aussie, still tanned, bronze and looking good at 60. Kozlowski feels that the time was right to revisit the legendary character, "because Paul was waiting for a good idea for a third movie. So when this came along, he just sort of went with that." The actress also believes that the timing was right for this movie "because Australia was back in the news again, with the Olympics and the new Survivor show; it's all just floating around in the universe all of a sudden."
In this third instalment, Mick Dundee, girlfriend Sue and son Mikey, leave the tiny town of Walkabout to LA after Sue is transferred following the mysterious disappearance of its bureau chief. Mick of course gets into his usual array of mischief. Though Paul and Linda haven't worked together in some time, this time around, Kozlowski feels that their working relationship seemed "incredibly comfortable", further admitting that when making the first film, she didn't dare speak out if there was something that bothered her. "For instance, I so HATED that red dress they made me wear with the holes cut out of it, but I just went into my trailer and cried for three hours and didn't really say anything." Now, however, a much more confidant Kozlowski would speak out. "Oh yeah, it'd be a case of me yelling: I'm SO not wearing this dress."
There is no doubt that the relationship between Hogan and Linda remains on a steady footing, as does, it seems, the fictitious relationship between Mick and Sue, though Linda feels that Sue has changed since the first two films. "I don't think she's as shocked by his antics anymore and now knows what to expect from him. I also think a little bit of his coolness has rubbed off on her." The couple, as in real life, has a child now, and so it was easy for Kozlowski to relate to the character's maternalism. "It definitely helps being a mum in real life, having played mothers before being one. Obviously, you never really know what it's like to play a mum until you have a baby."
Even though a new generation of moviegoers have materialised since the first film, Kozlowski argues that with the first two movies constantly being screened, "new fans are springing up out of the woodwork. This is very much a pure family movie in every sense of the word and there's no substitute for that kind of film." Linda loved returning to Australia to shoot the first section of the film "because the crews there are so wonderful and don't take it all so seriously", but happily concedes that she hated shooting in Los Angeles. "Apart from the smog, we were on Hollywood and Vine, which is so ugly and full of gangs. One of our crewmembers got sworn at a lot and even got flashed. Not a pretty place after the laid back experience of working in Australia."
So it is no wonder that she and Hogan choose to live in Santa Barbara. "I've never been a part of the LA scene anyhow, so it suits my temperament. It's also a great place to raise a child." Kozlowski thought that Crocodile Dundee would turn her into a star, but the film merely effected Hogan. The actress is philosophical, saying that she "was blessed with a child and was happy to eventually retire" only to return once more as Mick Dundee's partner. "It was nice playing her again; I felt at home."
Linda hopes that the third film may ignite some interest in her, and doesn't rule out a return to acting nor a fourth Dundee film "if Paul has it in him to do another one." The couple still retains their Byron Bay property. "It's on and off the market, but when push comes to shove, we don't have the heart to sell it."
Linda is looking forward to returning to her adopted homeland for the movie's opening. "It's been a long time since I did all that." A long time for Mick Dundee fans as well.

•100 years ago — April 1914•
Sagamore Hotel destroyed by fire
The palatial Sagamore Hotel at Bolton, the largest summer hotel on Lake George and one of the largest in the Adirondacks, was destroyed by fire the morning of April 12, 1914 with a loss estimated at approximately $350,000 and the impression prevails in Bolton that incendiarism is the cause.
It is said that the fire started from the outside and near the dining room on the southeast side of the building, although this could not be definitely learned immediately after the fire.
The fire was discovered about 2:40 o'clock a.m. by J. Wilson Ward and the building was practically destroyed within 40 minutes. Mr. Ward notified the telephone operator who aroused all the men in the village. A bucket brigade was formed, but the flames had gained such a great start that it was impossible to save the building or any of the contents. The fire spread rapidly from the middle of the structure and at 4 o'clock, all that was left of the once famous hostelry were the smouldering embers. The laundry and the boiler room were saved, as were the stables and the six cottages on the property.
S.G. Finkle, the caretaker, was in Schenectady when the tragedy occurred and could offer no explanation as to the probably cause of the conflagration. The fire was a spectacular one, throwing a reflection into the sky which could plainly be seen in Glens Falls.
The Sagamore was a three-story wooden building and contained 350 rooms. Many improvements had been made during the winter. About $800 was spent to repaint the structure and about $2,000 was expended on the dock. Fire escapes and other improvements were also made.
The hotel, which was built 21 years ago (1893) to replace the old Sagamore Hotel, was one of the most popular on the "Queen of American Lakes" and was generally filled to capacity during the season. The hotel was owned by the Green Island Improvement Co.. John Boulton Simpson of New York is the heaviest stockholder. The hotel was managed by T. Edmund Krumbholz who had not yet arrived from New Jersey to prepare for the opening season that was to occur June 1, 1914. The loss is covered by insurance to the extent of $150,000. The furniture destroyed in the hotel included furniture owned by persons who passed the summer in the hotel. The general impression at this time is that the building will not be rebuilt and has passed out of existence for all time. (Note: The first Sagamore Hotel was opened in 1883 close to the Lake George shore on Green Island and was an immediate success, attracting the wealthy and famous from all over the world. Investors built their own cottages on the island. Ten years later, June 27, 1893, the hotel burned leaving all the luxury and beauty in a smoking ruins. Work on Sagamore II began immediately and it emerged bigger and better. This hotel survived until the great fire of 1914, described herein, with a staggering loss of over $350,000. Some believed that the cause was arson and others believed that the cause was careless smoking. The investors were adamant and after a long quest for money to rebuild, Sagamore III finally opened its doors to the public on July 1, 1930. It survives today, alive and well, on Green Island in Bolton, with mirrored walls and sparkling chandeliers, the gleaming white massive pillars shining in the sun and the building glowing with innumerable lights in the night, a breathtaking sight to behold.)
Hotelman adjudged insane
Michael Cronin, proprietor of Aiden Lair Lodge in Essex County and famed for the famous trip he made across the mountains to North Creek in 1901 with former President Teddy Roosevelt, who had been camping at Aiden Lair, the morning after President McKinley's assassination, is insane. He was taken Saturday morning to the St. Lawrence Insane Asylum in Ogdensburg after receiving treatment for several weeks in the Saratoga Cure and Infirmary. "Mike," as he is familiarly known throughout the Adirondacks, enjoyed a wide acquaintance of many men of note. He is a former resident of Glens Falls, being a son of James Cronin, who lived on William Street there.
He first leaped to fame after the famous Roosevelt ride and nearly everyone knows the story of that wild trip from Minerva to the North Creek railroad station over the rugged mountains with the Colonel. After the trip of one hour and 43 minutes, one of Cronin's horses died soon after and its mate also later succumbed from over-exertion.
Several years ago Cronin tried to force his way through a crowd to greet Roosevelt when the chief "Bull Moose" was president but was intercepted by Secret Service men. Roosevelt immediately ordered his men to release Cronin and a minute later they were shaking hands and talking about old times.
Cronin first showed signs of mental disorder about six years after some trouble over land near Aiden Lair. (Note: Hotelman Mike Cronin, 50, a legend in his own time, died June 10, 1914 of heart trouble at the St. Lawrence State Hospital in Ogdensburgh, where he had been taken for treatment after a long period of melancholia. He left a widow, one son, Arthur Cronin and eight daughters. Around the time of his death, Aiden Lair was destroyed by fire.)
Death's double strike
Harvey Kenyon, 72, a lifelong resident of the town of Thurman, died at his home in Athol on April 4, 1914 after a week's illness of pneumonia. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. Nora Dow and a son, Allie Kenyon, with whom he made his home. Burial was in the Baker Cemetery.
Mrs. Nora Dow, 45, died at Athol the morning of April 13, 1914, at the home of her brother, Allie Kenyon, where she had been staying since the death of their father, Harvey Kenyon who had died there nine days previously. Death was caused by pleuro-pneumonia after an illness of only one week's duration.
Mrs. Dow was the widow of Duncan Dow and she is survived by two sons and three daughters. Burial was in the Cameron Cemetery. The bearers were T.H. Smith, Charles H. Baker, Charles Smith and Rolland Combs. "She is not dead, she is only sleeping. I shall see her again, I know, when Jesus comes with his angels."
Aged resident dies
Succumbing to the infirmities of old age, Mrs. Sarah Wallace, 85, one of Warrensburgh's oldest residents, died April 2, 1914 at her home on Horicon Avenue and passed to the life beyond. The greater part of her existence was spent here and she was esteemed by all who knew her. Of a large family of children, only five survive: three daughters and two sons, Charles H. and Edward Wallace. She was buried in St. Cecilia's Cemetery, Warrensburgh.
Winter refuses to release its grip
Spring has come, but theoretically it seems feeble. The first incoming automobile of the season, passed through Chestertown westbound the morning of April 6, 1914. Just when the snow in Warrensburgh was nearly gone and the sidewalks were becoming dry, along comes another snowstorm April 15, 1914 which thrust upon us another three inches of snow to make mud and slush. Spring is lingering in the lap of winter. There is still plenty of snow in the fields and woods but it is beginning to settle rapidly. People are finally beginning to run their wagons although the roads locally are in bad condition as the result of rain and several days of thaw.
Nearly all the farmers in Bakers Mills who have sugar maples have tapped their camps and are having good runs of the sweet fluid. Ashley T. Kellogg of Glens Falls arrived in Warrensburgh April 15, 1914 to start the Hudson River log drive of which he has been in charge for eight seasons. About 30 men will be employed at present and the drive is expected to start April 16, 1914 from a point near the Glynn place unless a storm prevents. (Note: The Ben Glynn place on the Hudson River is today the Warrensburg Fish Hatchery.)
Sweet and sour notes
Hannibal A. Williams, a noted Shakespearean reader and elocutionist, died recently at Battle Creek, Michigan. He leaves a widow. He appeared in Warrensburgh on several occasions but has not been here for a number of years.
General Daniel E. Sickles brands as "a damn lie" a report in the New York newspapers that he is at the point of death from a stroke of paralysis. The general is 94 years old and is a native of Glens Falls and was a prominent figure in the Warren County Centennial last summer. (Note: General Sickles died May 3, 1914 after a colorful life and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.)
Automobile registration license plates for 1914, sent through the parcel post, average about 12 cents per set.
Mrs. William Hitchcock, of Bakers Mills, who has been ill about a week with an abscess on her foot, now has inflammation of the brain and is considered to be in a critical condition.
A daughter was born Monday, April 6, 1914 to Mrs. Austin P. Jones of Glens Falls and has been named Ruth Evelyn. Mrs. Jones was formerly Miss Clara Bennett of Warrensburgh, daughter of John C. Bennett, now of Glens Falls. A son was born April 12, 1914 to Rev. and Mrs. William Bills of Athol.
In Chestertown, William H. Tennyson's store is locally called, "The Bull Moose Pasture." Joseph Drake has purchased "Old Coon Foot," the favorite horse of the late Joseph Whipple of Friends Lake.
Clarence Dunkley of Igerna, has 13 sheep and 24 lambs this spring.
Ernest LaFlure of Chestertown, states that 601 eggs were laid by his flock of 30 hens during March. He sells the eggs for 16 cents per dozen.
Royal Tanner, of Warrensburgh, sustained a loss of about $200 by the death of his horse while he was spending the night in North Thurman. Mr. Tanner was at the home of Fred Moses and took care of his horse for the night at 11 o'clock. The animal was then all right and whinnied for more grain. In the morning he was found dead in the stall. The cause of death is unknown.

Remember you're insuring for future rebuilding costs. That means avoiding an
(Money Magazine) -- If last fall's devastating California wildfires weren't enough of a wake-up call, consider this: Nearly 60% of homes nationwide don't carry enough insurance coverage to be fully rebuilt. On average those homes are underinsured by 21%. To give yourself a chance of being made whole, follow these steps before and after disaster strikes.
Beef up your policy
Remember you're insuring for future rebuilding costs. That means avoiding an actual-cash-value policy, which reduces your payout by how much your possessions have depreciated.
A guaranteed replacement-cost policy, which reimburses you for the full cost of rebuilding, is the gold standard but is almost impossible to find. Go for an extended replacement-cost policy, which pays you a set amount (the "dwelling limit"), plus a 20% to 25% margin. Add a building-code endorsement to cover the cost of complying with future rule changes.
Setting your dwelling limit high from the outset and reviewing it every few years is crucial. A good agent should be able to help, or for $8 you can create a custom estimate at accucoverage.com.
As a rough guide, keep in mind that the average cost to rebuild is $250 a square foot.

Document what you own
In order to be reimbursed, you need records: pictures and videos of your stuff, receipts, model numbers and so on.
"Agent after agent tells me that if there is any dispute, the documentation makes the decision," says Robert Rusbuldt, chief executive of the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America.
At the California Department of Insurance's website (insurance.ca.gov), you can download a 36-page guide that walks you through every room in the house (under Consumers, click on Information Guides and then on Residential Series). Keep these records outside your home.
Manage your claim with care
After a disaster, call your agent immediately - but don't agree to a settlement too quickly. You'll get an initial check (or prepaid credit card) to cover hotel rooms, clothing and dining out; a typical up-front payment is $5,000. Then prepare to negotiate hard, especially if the damage is severe.
"The insurance industry has gotten a lot tougher," says Amy Bach, executive director of UnitedPolicyholders.org. "It's more adversarial."
It's a Buyer's Market! Search Home Listings
Your agent will have an adjuster come up with a damage estimate (the "scope of loss"), but if you anticipate a dispute, do your own research too, says industry consultant Andrew J. Barile.
Ideally, have the contractor you plan to work with create an estimate that details construction expenses room by room, including the cost of all materials and labor.
If you feel the insurer's offer is a lowball one, don't sign anything, and appeal to a supervisor. It may also help to complain to your state insurance regulator. If you hit a wall, Bach suggests hiring a public adjuster who will chase the claim on your behalf for a 7% to 10% cut. You can search for one at the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters' site, Napia.com.
Alternatively, you can work with an independent cost estimator, who will prepare a competing scope-of-loss report. That will cost you several thousand dollars, but it's worth the price if you can sweeten your settlement by far more - and rebuild your home sweet home.

I was challenged to swap my usual exfoliator for the the Bravura acid peel to see if it did a better job and helped combat some of the visible signs of ageing women my age suffer from.
*The Bravura acid peel and glycolic toner were kindly gifted for the purpose of this article.
I'm in my thirties now (gasp!) and I have noticed that my skin isn't looking as fresh and teenage as it used to.
I usually reach for my favourite exfoliator but soon realised it was never coming back into stock anywhere (I'd been waiting a while) because it contained micro-beads which aren't allowed under new legislation. I was feeling at a loss, wondering how I'd keep my skin bright, when I realised you can do chemical peels at home!
Thankfully, the lovely people at Bravura came to the rescue and very kindly send me some products to try in return for this review.
The package contained a bottle of Glycolic Acid 10%, Revitalising Ginseng Toner, a brush for application and instructions.
My skin before using the Bravura acid peel
(Please excuse the eyebrows, I am make-up free.)
As you can see, my skin isn't terrible but it has uneven tones and texture. I think you can tell I haven't exfoliated in a little while and as a result my skin is looking dull. Not quite the dewy, youthful look my skin used to have.
I wanted to achieve even results without the process being too harsh.
My skin is combination, with an oily T-zone but can verge on dry when I over-exfoliate.
How to use the Bravura acid peel
Applying the Bravura acid peel was extremely simple. I cleansed my skin gently and didn't use anything to exfoliate prior to the treatment. I then used the Ginseng Revitalising Toner to prep my skin for the acid peel. It's not essential to buy the toner to accompany the peel, but if you don't, then you need to wait 30 minutes after cleansing to allow your skin's PH level to settle back to normal.
After the toner, I used to pipette to drip a small amount of the peel into a shot glass and applied it to my skin with the brush included. It's really important to avoid the very sensitive skin around the eyes and lips (and never apply to broken skin, this rule applies to lots of products).
After exactly 5 minutes (and you have to be exact) I washed the acid off by using lots of warm water. This neutralises it and stops it working. I used one of my super soft towels to pat my skin dry.
The results of the Bravura acid peel
My skin felt incredibly smooth. The instructions recommend to moisturise straight after use so I went for a thick and creamy Olay moisturiser.
My skin looked a little pink, but that's how I usually look when I've washed my face anyway, so nothing alarming there. My skin tone instantly looked even and much brighter.
The Following Days
My skin has felt smooth and beautiful ever since I exfoliated with the Bravura Acid Peel. My make-up has glided on smoothly and didn't sit oddly on top of the skin in my chin area (which was a problem area).
Before the peel I had blemishes that were not raised like spots, but still a reddish colour; after the peel they had disappeared.
It's been a week so I'm ready to do it again. I've found it quick and simple and it gives a better result than my old exfoliator ever did. I'm really happy for this to be my new routine.
Glycolic Acid 10%
This is the acid I was sent because it's got a reputation for being a bit of a cure-all. It takes care of many different skin complaints and exfoliates to make the skin look brighter and healthier. It is meant to help with discolouration (which will be why I was less blotchy after) and helps remove fine lines and the dullness of ageing skin (it definitely did that too).
Glycolic acid is also linked with helping the skin to produce extra collagen, which is what we owe the elasticity in our skin to. Collagen production decreases with age, which is what causes lines and wrinkles to form.
My Verdict
I'm really happy with the results. It has given my skin a revitalising boost and my skin tone looks even when I've not bothered with foundation. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Normally, I don't like to let other people speak for me, but today I read this column by Howie Carr of the Boston Herald, and it's as if he had read my mind. This is one of those rare times when I can honestly say that I absolutely, positively agree with everything he says here.
But before I hand it off to Howie, I want to make a few points of my own. First, I am not trying to defend cigarettes. Anyone who hasn't lived under a rock for the last forty years knows that cigarettes are bad for you. But it's unfair and just plain wrong to keep picking the pockets of smokers simply because they have become a politically impotent minority. Funny how you never see anyone suggest an increase in the tax on booze.
It simply amazes me how proponents of this tax manage to say–with a straight face–that this increase will simultaneously decrease smoking and increase revenue. Those who think they can tax tobacco out of existence are sadly deluded on two counts. First, there are three things that humans have always done: drink, smoke, and gamble. They have always been willing to spend money to do these things, and they have always been willing to break the law to do these things. Laws prohibiting these things have never actually stopped them, merely driven them underground and into the hands of criminals.
Secondly, they are truly deluded if they think the government really wants to eliminate smoking. Tobacco taxes are an integral part of any state's budget. Without tobacco taxes, there would be a serious shortfall that would have to be made up with–guess what?–more taxes.
But there is such a thing as killing the proverbial goose that lays the golden egg. You can push people too far, and, judging from conversations I've had with people, we in Taxachusetts may very well be at that point. Governor Tailpipe tells us that it will raise $1.74 million in new tax revenue. Yeah, for New Hampshire. Live Free or Die? Well, New Hampshire may not be free, but they're a hell of a lot cheaper than Massachusetts.
Howie mentions that the vote was 93-52, with 33 Democrats joining the 19 lonely Republicans in our state House. Had there been a Republican governor in the Corner Office instead of Governor Tailpipe, a veto could have been sustained.
Where have you gone, William Weld? Our Commonwealth turns it's lonely eyes to you.

The temptation to travel down the road of what-ifs has always been a strong one for me. I love to think through what would have happened, or could have happened, or should have happened. What if that person had done what they were supposed to do? What if I'd said something different? What will I do if this situation (that I just made up) comes up?
The what-if game is far from helpful. Worry doesn't change anything for the better, and dwelling on alternate realities can reopen a wound so consistently that it doesn't allow healing. Foster care, with its lack of closure and the impossibility of ever going down each of the what-if roads in real life, has helped me to realize just how painful and just how unhelpful the what-if game is. It creates a confusing web of possible realities that just can't work together.
The reminders of my boys gone home are everywhere. It can be an outfit one of the babies wore, something we bought specifically for a little one who's no longer here, or a movie we watched with one of the babies. Places we visited with them bring back memories, or even places we hoped to visit and never did. As we move forward, we'll reach their birthdays; holidays they aren't spending at 'home'; anniversaries of their coming and leaving. Because of our grief and the uncertainty in the boys' future, these reminders can easily become painful. Joyful little moments with Baby S can bring grief, too, if I allow myself to think ahead to the empty moments and future process of putting all of his precious little things away if he goes back to his birth family.
What if Baby M had stayed? We would have loved to provide that sweet little baby boy a loving forever home. We were the third home he'd lived in since leaving the hospital, and when he left us at 11 days old, he went to a fourth. I hoped to be the one to teach him how to bond and how to trust in a consistent caregiver. I wanted him to know he was treasured, loved, and wanted. We don't know anything about the person he is with now or the kind of care he receives. Unless we run into him by chance later on, we will never know how life turned out for him. I fear for him and that he will be stuck in this cycle of broken homes and families. I would have been satisfied if we could have kept him here, our first little foster baby, for the long term. But at the same time, and with the same breath, I am wishing for my other babies, too; even though him staying would have meant never meeting them.
What if Baby Z had stayed? I think back to the crazy day of picking up Baby Z at the hospital and being escorted out by security (for our safety). I think of the long days and nights of feedings every three hours, on the clock, and the joy of seeing him gain weight and become happy and alert. When Baby S arrived, a visiting nurse told me that she'd seen Baby Z since he moved from our home and that he was "getting very tall". Those three little words were enough to offer some small amount of comfort, but the little guy has a long road ahead of him. We hoped to fight for him and be the family to get him the resources he needs. He will have much to overcome because of his tough start in life, and we wanted to be on his team. I wish with my whole heart that my family could have walked that road with him, to give him every opportunity to be the most whole, complete, and loving person he can be. But, of course, we never would have met our sweet little Baby S if he'd stayed.
Baby S has been with us 2 1/2 months now. I love him as my own son and I would never wish for a life that didn't include him, no matter what happens with his future. Whatever home he ends up in, there is hope that my family can work with his bio family for the long term. We hope that Baby S can continue having two families who love him very much and both accept him as their own. Wishing for Baby M or Baby Z to have stayed feels like wishing Baby S hadn't arrived, and as long as Baby S needs us, I wouldn't want him to be anywhere but with us. And yet, I still can't be glad our first babies left.
Ultimately, the tangled road of what-ifs is not a safe place to travel. It is not a helpful place to linger. There is only one reality, and no scenario in which all of these what-if situations could take place. Baby M and Baby Z were moved to bio family. We don't even know the name of the newborn baby boy we might have had in our home if our vacation had been timed differently this summer. We learned that our Big Boy R vacation placement was moved to a new family, and we never had a chance to consider long-term parenting with him because our home was full. Some of my boys may have come back into care and gone to different foster homes because our beds were full. Their futures may never involve me. Worrying over this at night will change nothing. Being joyful in my current circumstances will not make them less likely to come home, and missing them will not lessen my love for Baby S.
Worry and regret won't change the situation for the better. But "the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective" (James 5:16), and that is a worthwhile use of my nighttime hours when I'm laying awake thinking of my boys. I can count myself righteous because Jesus covered all of my wrongs, not because of my own efforts. I would fail every time. But because of Jesus, I have the hope that I can be effective in the lives of all of my boys through prayer. Even if some of them have returned to unsafe or unloving environments, they are not without hope. Jesus is expert at healing the broken. I can't keep them from being broken, but shielding them from hurt isn't ultimately what they need. I have the awesome privilege of still fighting on their team through prayer, even if I never see them again.
God is in control, and remains so, even when he doesn't involve me. So I don't stop at trying not to worry. I pray. I pray for my boys to know Jesus and to be raised up by people who love them and who love Jesus. I pray that even difficult circumstances would turn them towards Jesus. I pray that I would be faithful to be a loving Mommy in the everyday moments with whoever is in my home, and to be a loving support to their bio parents whenever I have the opportunity.
I'm so glad I can be part of Baby S's life. I'm able to love on him every day and see him grow. He loves to smile and laugh. He loves life and he loves his family. He's such a happy little dude. Big Brother A loves him and tells him so every day. We love him like our own. His bio parent loves him and is working hard for him. This is our situation and we will embrace it. This is where God has allowed us to be right now, and through his grace alone, I will stay hopeful that he will use me here to do his work.

From the Examiner on the OIC meeting and Cumber's welcome to Islamic threats:
Muslims Nations: Defame Islam, Get Sued?
By RUKMINI CALLIMACHI, The Associated Press
The Muslim world has created a battle plan to defend its religion from political cartoonists and bigots.
Concerned about what they see as a rise in the defamation of Islam, leaders of the world's Muslim nations are considering taking legal action against those that slight their religion or its sacred symbols. It was a key issue during a two-day summit that ended Friday in this western Africa capital.
The Muslim leaders are attempting to demand redress from nations like Denmark, which allowed the publication of cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad in 2006 and again last month, to the fury of the Muslim world.
The report urges the creation of a "legal instrument" to crack down on defamation of Islam.
Though the legal measures being considered have not been spelled out, the idea pits many Muslims against principles of freedom of speech enshrined in the constitutions of numerous Western governments.
"I don't think freedom of expression should mean freedom from blasphemy," said Senegal's President Abdoulaye Wade, the chairman of the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference. "There can be no freedom without limits."
Delegates were given a voluminous report by the OIC that recorded anti-Islamic speech and actions from around the world. The report concludes that Islam is under attack and that a defense must be mounted.
"Muslims are being targeted by a campaign of defamation, denigration, stereotyping, intolerance and discrimination," charged Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the secretary general of the group.
The report urges the creation of a "legal instrument" to crack down on defamation of Islam. Some delegates point to laws in Europe criminalizing the denial of the Holocaust and other anti-Semitic rhetoric. They also point to articles within various U.N. charters that condemn discrimination based on religion and argue that these should be ramped up.
"In our relation with the western world, we are going through a difficult time," Ihsanoglu told the summit's general assembly. "Islamophobia cannot be dealt with only through cultural activities but (through) a robust political engagement."
The International Humanist and Ethical Union in Geneva released a statement accusing the Islamic states of attempting to limit freedom of expression and of attempting to misuse the U.N.
Human Rights Watch said in a statement that objectionable depictions of the Prophet Muhammad do not "give them the right under international human rights law to insist that others abide by their views."
Hemayet Uddin, the lead author of the OIC report and head of cultural affairs for the group said legal action is needed because "this Islamophobia that we see in the world has gone far beyond a phobia. It is now at the level of hatred, of xenophobia, and we need to act."
A new charter drafted by the OIC commits the Muslim body "to protect and defend the true image of Islam" and "to combat the defamation of Islam."
To protect the faith, Muslim nations have created an "observatory" that meets regularly to monitor Islamophobia. It examines lectures and workshops taking place around the world and prints a monthly record of offensive content.
But some of the summit's delegates said a legal approach would be over the top.
"My general view would be that the confrontational approach is one my country would avoid," said Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Iftekhar Chowdhruy. Bangladesh is 90 percent Muslim.
While the Muslim world worries about the image of Islam in the West, the U.S. envoy to the OIC attended the summit to try to tackle the thorny question of America's image among Muslim states.
Sada Cumber calls his campaign the "soft power" of the U.S. – an effort to find common ground with Muslim nations by championing universal values the U.S. holds dear like religious tolerance and freedom of speech.
"America has a deep respect for the religion of Islam," Cumber told The Associated Press. "The freedom of faith that we exercise, that we enjoy in America, that is also a very important aspect of the American core values. Anyone who wants to practice any faith is never stopped or discouraged…"

KL shopping being RM500 richer.
Few weeks ago I won RM500 Topshop voucher on Says. (READ)
So I da fei zhou zhang de went to KL for shopping and also to pick up my vouchers.
Day One.
Credits to the generous brother who paid for my three meals. MUAHAHAHAHA.
Was supposed to have a full-day of shopping but then was whisked off to my uncle's church for some grand musical to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
Spent one afternoon at One Utama hunting for a dress and shoes since I didn't bring anything for a fancy dinner.
F21 chiffon dress. SO LIGHT LIKE FEATHER :D
The cousin. Flip flop shoes with dresses ftw. Couldn't find any shoes we liked.
I was really happy with my cheap buy when someone commented going
"Is that your new pyjamas ?" T__________T
Day Two
Day to pick up the vouchers !
Went to Says.my 's secret hideout. Me and fatty got kind of lost in the building.
We went up to that floor and we saw this LONG NEVER ENDING CORRIDOR with a lot of other fancy offices with glass doors and bells. Felt like I was in... Gringotts.
Walked till the very end of the corridor just to see metal bars and a sign that says
"Says.My secret hideout"
Pic credits : SAYS
Super contrast to all the fancy glass doors before it.
Met Yuna for the first time and had a tour around their office.
Not only do they have cool walls for the staff to scribble anything on, they also have a plasma TV, xBox and a bed for those who are tired. The first thing I saw when I went into the office was also a long table with tons of junk food sitting on it.
It wasn't just for Topshop, but for Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Warehouse, BCBG etc too ! Went to Mid Valley just to find out RM500 can't really buy me anything in Topshop. fml
Really liked a wool jacket in Topshop that costs like RM498 fml x2
So went to Dorothy Perkins and got a similar one for RM296.
Top from Miss Selfridge, High waisted pants from Levis.
Spent the rest of the vouchers on fatty because he mad saint belanja me lunch.
Went back to One Utama again and tricked fatty into donating me his last RM50.
Which I spent immediately getting this top from F21 wtf.
By that time both of us were BROKE. There were like 0 notes in my purse.
Right when I thought I was doomed, mum called and said she was in the same mall.
Then I found this.
and my purse went back to 0.
Aaah, shopping has never been so satisfying.
Buying something with free vouchers just feels different from buying with hard-saved cash.
I don't even know whether I am RM500 richer / RM500 poorer now.
Someone just reminded me that SPM is 17 away.
So yes, this is like the last of the pampering.

Below is a check list to see if that new client is right for you.
What are the clients goals and expectations?
SEO is foreign language to most business owners and decision makers, they just know they want to see their site on the front page, period. If the potential client is trying to compete in a niche that is highly competitive and their current link profile and site aren't up to snuff, that's a gloomy beginning. Avoiding this type of issue can be done with an effective quoting formula. Taking the average page rank and link profiles of the top ten results for a given search phrase against the potential client's current site profile is generally a good measure to see if their goals are actually attainable in your current business model.
Expectations are everything in SEO. I consult daily with at least one of our 150 clients to discuss progress and current campaign details. Being able to handle a large workload is all relative to how scalable your link building methods are. Often I have found that my link building methods have been most effective when dealing with multiple sites that shared similar characteristics. For example, if you attempt to take on one type of niche client, Fortune 500 companies who generally have a page rank 5+ site, with thousands links, their large ranking goals might be a bit more practical for you to accomplish.
Have a solid plan with benchmarks
In the beginning of a link building campaign it is important to make sure your client's site is in ideal condition. Provide them with a in depth onpage report detailing everything from duplicate title tags to 301 redirects. It is your job to translate to the client's development team how the site should structured. Tying these loose ends in the beginning with help you avoid finding out your building links to a redirect half way through the campaign. (No wonder I wasn't seeing any progress)
Analyze the competition and attack
Alongside keyword research one of the most important nitty gritty tasks in campaign preparation is performing a competitive link analysis. In case you have been living under a rock, tools like SEOMOZ's OSE and Yahoo's Site Explorer will provide you will a profile of your competitor's links. Review these links, see if you can get them, if you can't, get links on websites that share similar characteristics. Link building is checkers not chess.
Under promise and over deliver
This goes back to setting practical expectations with your client. If you walk in the door flexing and fall just short, client not so happy. If your honest and transparent, set the tone rationally and knock it out of the park, client very happy.

Bot vs. Bot For Evading Machine Learning Malware Detection
August 09, 2017
Machine learning offers opportunities to improve malware detection because of its ability to generalize to never-before-seen malware families and polymorphic strains. This has resulted in its practical use for either primary detection engines or supplementary heuristic detections by AV vendors. However, machine learning is also especially susceptible to evasion attacks by, ironically but unsurprisingly, other machine learning methods.
Join Hyrum Anderson, Principal Data Scientist, in this webinar to learn:
- How to teach the machine learning detector about its blind spots
- How machine learning reacts in the face of sophisticated adversaries
- Endgame's machine learning approach

A year ago today, Chad and I got married. Some of you guys who've followed Sugarlaws from the beginning might remember when, shortly after I started this site, we got engaged in Paris. A year and a half later, we got married — and I posted these teaser photos when we got back from our honeymoon, planning to add more when we got them from the photographer.
And somehow, over the past year, I couldn't quite find the right moment to put these up. Once the insanity of the wedding and honeymoon subsided, I always felt like I had more pressing blog-relevant pictures to post. But when our one year anniversary started approaching, I figured it was now or never to share these with you guys.
So, happy anniversary to us — with many, many more years to come. I've heard that the first year of marriage is supposed to be the hardest, and if that's true, Chad and I have a very happy, easy future in store for us, because this year was nothing short of perfect.
All photos by our fantastic wedding photographer, Maggie Conley.

I went to Boots the other day with only concealer and eyeliner on my mind, until I saw that beautiful poster all over the store offering the wonder that is 3 for 2. There was no other needies on my list so I thought I'd treat myself to a wantie in the form of a Christmassy berry lip.
Cue the aptly named Berry Much from Maybelline. I think the Color Dramas (it feels so wrong spelling it like that) are relatively new as they took centre stage on the stand, there were ten colours to paw over ranging from my usual muted pink to a more daring orange. I thought I'd go down the festive route because, well, there's less than a month to go and I haven't done anything else festive so far.
The product is a lipstick in the form of a pencil which makes applying bolder shades a lot easier, you just draw it on like a lip liner and then blend into the middle, simple. I did find that you had to blend extra carefully though, as the colour did tend to clump in certain areas, in fact I had to wipe it off completely before trying again due to clumping.
The finish is described as velvet but I'd say it's much more matte, and once on your lips it does stick around for a while, that is until you try to drink tea and then it ends up all over the shop. Tis bizarre though because that swatch on my arm would not budge, even with the daddy of all cleansers peaches and clean.
I wouldn't say this is the greatest lip product I've tried in terms of formular, but the colour is a gorgeous berry shade and will give you that nineties lip that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment. At £4.99 it's not going to break the bank either.
Have you tried any of the Color Drama pencils?
