Dinners are often spent over the fire, 'South African braai' style where all of the guests grill and eat together. But you are welcome to head out for meals as well.
Rich Walters
Rich grew up in Durban, but spent his weekends and holidays on the South Coast, crawling around his families Surf House. Lucky enough to score epic surf for most of his life, surfing is now everything to Rich. When he isn't surfing around South Africa with guests or showing them Africa's bush life, he is teaching surf lessons and running his surf camp.
There are plenty of activities and tour to do along the South Coast. Here is a list of the most popular attractions from guests and staff:
"Amber and Derek (day & night managers) were helpful from the get-go. Welcoming, friendly and helpful -- it was easy to feel at home right away. Beautiful, casual location good for quiet relaxation including a massage if you like."

"I absolutely loved it, the Surf house has a very homey feel. Thank you for the kind assistance. The weather may not have been in our favor but we still made the best out of our little getaway, the oceanic view was remarkable and absolutely breathtaking. I will definitely be back."

"We combined a work/surf trip at Umzumbe for a week and the Beach House served as an ideal spot to do so! Awesome coastline and super friendly staff/team made for an ideal environment - if you're heading to Umzumbe, point your steering wheel in this direction."

"This place was one the highlights of South Africa. We had a great time staying here. Surf and yoga, what else can you need? "

"My son and I went on a skateboarding and surf holiday in Kzn. We stayed at Umzumbe Surf house. The place is brilliant, plenty to do, great relaxed vibe and my boy laughed and smiled the whole time. Our hosts ( Rich and Ali) have been fantastic. For a well priced, relaxing and wonderful kid friendly place I highly recommend it!"

"Incredible stay. A true home away from home with epic surf right in front of the house. Ali and Rich are wonderful hosts and Ali cooks up a storm whilst Rich catches fresh seafood with his "live off the land" mentality. If you looking to rejuvenate your soul and switch off from the electronic world. Umzumbe Surfhouse is your place."
"Cannot wait to return to this hidden gem on the south coast."

"An absolute gem of a place, felt like home away from home, met the most awesome people, great hosts, came back feeling like a new man, can't wait to go back, highly recommended!"

"I spent 10 days at this very special place last February and I hesitated about writing a review until now just for one reason: It would be such a shame if it turned into a crowded, run over retreat which usually goes hand in hand with a slight loss of quality because of quantity. Allie and Rich were the perfect hosts, the place felt like home right from the moment I walked in and sharing the house with other guests was more like sharing family life.Surf was good and Rich was motivated to take me any time of day, though he preferred the early morning. Allie offered Yoga workouts on the deck and took us food shopping for our "family" dinners. Breakfast after surf was always a healthy treat and because the days started early, there was enough time to read, nap and just chill out. I cannot imagine returning to SA and not revisit this marble of a place. Loved every minute of it."

"The Surf House leaves a special place in your heart when you leave. As you arrive you can immediately feel the stresses of life leave your body making it the ultimate place to go on holiday. The vibe is amazing and the laughs are in abundance. Many, many great memories have been made here and every time you go you cannot wait to get back. Cannot recommend enough. The entrance to the beach is on the property and the gardens are lush. The house is well maintained and Rich and Ali are the perfect hosts. Do yourself and your soul a big favour a book yourself as long a stay as you can here. You won't regret it."

"A small piece of paradise! We had the most amazing stay. Richard and Ali were the best hosts we could have asked for. The surf lessons were amazing, best experience ever! Ali makes an amazing breakfast. The house is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your amazing place with us. We will definitely be back!"

"We had a great weekend at Uzumbe surf house. It's a beautiful set up- a large property with plenty of space right on the beach. The house itself is lovely with great airy rooms, a large clean kitchen, and plenty of places to sit and hang out. Plus a lovely deck where you can sit and listen to the sea! Allie & Rich were very friendly and made us feel right at home. We went for walks & swims at the beach, had a nice dinner nearby, and a great surf lesson with Rich & Ben also. Highly recommended."

Office Ally's Practice Mate is a Web-based medical practice management system for small to midsized practices with multiple offices. It can be customized to fit the needs of any specialty and assists in digitizing many of the activities necessary to running a practice.
This system is HIPAA-compliant and can be combined with Office Ally's EHR 24/7 software to fulfill Meaningful Use Stage 1 and 2 requirements.
Users can create appointments, manage a calendar and color-code time slots using the appointment scheduling module. Patients can also request appointments via Office Ally's patient portal, Patient Ally. Health care professionals can log on to approve or deny appointment requests, and view forms that patients have completed before their scheduled appointment.
Practice Mate also includes a reporting module that allows users to search by name, type of insurance, tax ID and other identifying information. Reports generated by the system can also be downloaded by users and exported into Microsoft Excel.

I like the ease of filing insurance, keeping up with client information and the reminder service. It was been a huge help that didn't hurt our bottom line.
Getting charged for an excess of Claims for a particular insurance provider. The software isn't always smooth to operate. It seems a little dated.

I found it somewhat awkward in design.
It provides an efficient clearing house for billing. The technical staff does attempt to assist your needs.
This software is not suited for mental health documentation. It is designed for medical offices. It lacks flexibility.

Access To help and software is very intuitive. Overall it's a great program with many great features.
Billing portion is not so great. And prescribing medication is not an option. I had many problems with checking eligibility as well.

It is so difficult to deal with this program. It seems like the creators just stacked amounts of data creating a horrific, time wasting, not biller friendly program. On many occasions, I've called to get help. Depending on who I get, I'll get just enough of the information to calm me down, and I usually have to call again to suck out more. If I need an "Expert" it's it's usually a wait of 2-5 days. Seriously, who has time to wait? On top of that, the system is always crashing, and extremely slow. Nothing seems to be easy about this program.
I can send an email message to the doctors.
Where do I begin.... There's not enough space or time.
If you like treasure hunts, geography, and have lots and lots of time to locate where things are at, by all means this program is for you.

It's easy to use but does slow down a lot. Speed would make it a lot better.
Easy to use, progress notes well set up.
Slows down a lot. Sometimes freezes and takes hours to do simple work.

OfficeAlly takes inordinate time to use. There are not many fast ways to do anything. It is the opposite of the iPhone in that Apple dynamically removes the clutter when they improve features... OfficeAlly just seems to add features that have led to a overburdened, bogged down, convulted practice management software system.
Cheap monthly fee. They have their own clearing house. Some MU/PQRS features.
Slow. Much down time. No batch billing. EMR and Practice Mate back and forth activity wastes time.
Use this if you are a slow practice and looking for a cheap solution to EMR.

Price.They provide a clearinghouse.A one stop for everything needed.Training readily available.
Functionality/ Limitations. Customization's for superbil and more.. Accounting for payments.. Flowing from one section to another. Eligibility checks .Patient data profile.
Compare at least three companies that offer same type of service.Customer service is very important for the less tech savvy person.

Inexpensive, when many EHR systems cost tens of thousands of dollars
Takes about fifteen minutes to simply find a patient on the schedule and sign off on the exam notes.
This company took two software programs... scheduling and EHR... and never integrated them. So much time is wasted because of this.
Jan from Jan Jacobs, Psy.D.
Specialty: Psychology / therapy

February 2015
It's free. Support is readily available. Once you have everything set up, submitting a claim is quick.
Some things are cumbersome to set up correctly, and the site isn't set up to easily find some things.
I don't tend to make recommendations involving software as I am a very low-tech person.

A Jefferson County judge has ruled against a controversial church expansion approved by county commissioners last year.
Chief District Judge Stephen Munsinger said that until the Board of County Commissioners adopts regulations allowing for expansion of a non-conforming use of property, the church cannot add 21,000 square feet to its existing 9,000-square-foot campus.
The plaintiffs in the case, Lookout Mountain Residents United, challenged Jeffco commissioners' approval of the project in February 2012. During the Feb. 27 hearing in Jefferson County District Court, the judge agreed with the group's position that the plan was not in keeping with the county's comprehensive master plan. Munsinger also expressed a concern with county commissioners using a 2-mile radius in determining that the project was compatible with surrounding uses.
Homeowners opposing the expansion said they were concerned about increased traffic and safety issues and its effect on property values and scenic views.

Social media is here to stay, and naturally companies are dedicating more resources to strategy and activation in the space. However, the content that works well for one platform doesn't necessarily work well for the next. For example, an item featured on Pinterest may not be effective as a post on Facebook, but an announcement from the company would be more effective as a word-focused Facebook or Twitter post than as a photo on Pinterest or Instagram.
According to Ad Age, Instagram now has 200 million active users, and an engagement level of 1.6 billion likes daily, resulting in a platform that businesses need to be on. The app is growing daily, but the ease of use for an advertiser is not yet at the level of Facebook or Twitter. Brands use complex technologies to organize, manage and publish on the larger platforms; but Instagram has yet to launch a publishing application. The process remains rather manual, especially when it comes to looking at the analytics of a post. Companies are responsible for tracking the number of likes, and respond to comments and questions as they're posted.
A few best practices for Instagram posts will ensure that consumers are noticing and interacting with them. No surprise: the photo is key. It's important that the photos in your feed have a consistent look throughout, and that it reflects your brand. There are tons of photo editing apps that can help customize and enhance photos to create the look your business is looking for. Then stick to it!
The caption is also important when you're looking for engagement from users. You want to add a relevant comment to the photo, and ask questions in the space if you're looking for interaction between the users. It's important to monitor the comments from users, and reply quickly when necessary. Keep your comments, questions and replies conversational, so users are more inclined to interact with your brand.
Hashtags are another way to enhance a post. They not only help your visibility if people browse the tag, but they also keep your posts current with what's trending.
It's not just important to be in social media – it's crucial that your business doesn't fall behind the times. If your business is in need of some help, contact BSMG.

More Mud Flung at Local Reps
Five days after we pointed you to a Washington Post story on two ethically challenged local congressman, both got a curtain call for being among the 20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress. For their eyebrow-raising, borderline illegal land dealings, Reps. Ken Calvert (R-Riverside, but his district includes parts of South Orange County) and Gary Miller (R-Diamond Bar, whose district also takes in a chunk of North County) are ranked alongside such scoundrels as Katherine Harris (R-Florida), Rick Santorum (R-Pennsylvania) and Senator Bill Frist (R-Tennessee) in the rankings curated by the nonprofit Beyond Delay. Delay, of course, is a play on that most corrupt of recent congressional crooks, Tom DeLay, and you've no doubt noticed that everyone mentioned above is a Republican. But Beyond Delay spreads the scorn around, also including as most corrupt Democratic reps William Jefferson (D-Louisiana), Allan Mollohan (D-West Virginia) and Maxine Waters (D-California). And Beyond Delay's list of 5 congresspeople to watch includes darling of the anti-war movement, Rep. John Murtha (D-Pennsylvania). The 17-term congressman's "ethics issues stem from abuse of his position as Ranking Member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee to benefit clients of his brother, Robert 'Kit' Murtha, a registered lobbyist," report the watchdogs.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a breakdown
of the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board as well as the
Pink Sheets. Professor Carl Luft from the DePaul
University in Chicago and Lawrence M. Levine director
of Corporate Finance Services at American Express Tax
and Business Services Inc. in Chicago and Scott
Larson who is an Intermediate Research Analyst at
Allstate Insurance have pointed out in their research
paper "Over the Counter Bulletin Board Exchange
Market Structure, Risk and Return" that the lack of
knowledge of the OTCBB Exchange has motivated them to
produce their paper about the estimates of the
market''s risk and return. Undoubtedly has their
research filled the information void by enlightening
investors about the structure of the OTCBB, but I
believe that the OTCBB as well as the Pink Sheets
deserve a more detailed and in depth research when it
comes to determining the structural rules and the
trading processes that govern these trading venues.
The idea is to elaborate the theoretical background
that determines the over-the-counter market in
general and then put the OTCBB and the Pink Sheets in
context with each other as well as with the theory.

Late Friday, two li'l bombshells dropped regarding would-be President Trump and his trophy wife, Melania.
First, and in my mind more troubling, it is alleged that American Media, which owns and publishes National Enquirer, paid Playboy model Karen McDougal $150,000 for the story of her 2006 affair with Donald Trump.
The report, in the Wall Street Journal, alleges that McDougal had a consensual affair with Trump, and was under the impression that NE would publish the story of that affair.
Instead, David Pecker, the CEO of American Media and a longtime buddy of Trump's, never published that story and is now claiming the $150,000 was paid for McDougal's fitness columns and magazine covers as well as any life rights to the story of her affair.
Um, no—nudie models don't get paid that much for fitness columns. Not-so-nice try. And what tabloid publisher drops $150K only to decide not to use a story?
Typical NE cover (Image via NE)
American Media has issued a denial, stating, "AMI has not paid people to kill damaging stories about Mr. Trump."
Trump's campaign said merely, "We have no knowledge of any of this," and called McDougal's contention that she was intimate with Trump "totally untrue."
Oh, sure, there's no fix in at NE, whose readership is like 100% Trump fans. Oh, coincidentally, the cover of NE for this week is anti-Hillary, and its website is filled with the suggestion that Hillary is a satanist, more crap about emails, stories from people who've worked for her and hate her, etc. No negative Trump news.
Separately, the AP has proof that Melania Trump lied in stating she never broke laws and only worked in the U.S. legally. Though she'd never be prosecuted for it, there is documented evidence she earned over $20,000 in the seven weeks prior to becoming legally eligible for such work, which is technically grounds for deportation.
More to the point, it flies in the face of the Trump campaign's war on "illegals."
He fuckin' married one.

It's the weekend. You're on your favorite MMO, just about to reach the quest objective, and your character suddenly plunges through that one tiny hole between the landscape and the stairs. You're doomed to wait for customer service, as you consider how this wouldn't have happened if you had written the collision detection for the game instead.
Determined not to let their inferior coding ruin your weekend, you tab over to your free trial of Safari. With over 30,000 titles and only thirty minutes to read, what do you choose? It is the weekend, after all; maybe you feel more like a bit of hobby coding instead of studying for the coming week's tasks. Perhaps you just felt like taking some personal time to read, but you are finding it hard to concentrate when you know your child could be so much happier with her rote memorizations for school if you could think of some way to make those times tables and Revolutionary War dates seem relevant to a nine year old. Maybe you just logged on to Safari because you are looking for a personal coding project after a long week of working on everyone else's code – preferably something truly interesting and possibly in a language you aren't using 8 hours a day, Monday through Friday.
No matter whether you started looking through Safari for an interesting read, a way to improve your skills, or a side project, there is one topic that might comfort you in any of those situations: game programming.
Why game programming?
You may have heard the horror stories of what game programming can be like: long hours; multi-day crunch sessions; abysmal project management; almost constant rework; over-budget, delayed, or even canceled titles; and an often-unappreciative audience. While some of that can be true of the mainstream game industry, many games are not triple-A titles that require the large staff and schedule that spawn these stories. A small, Space Invaders-style game can be built by a single programmer with free graphics in a matter of hours.
For many purposes, simple games are more than enough, and as anyone that has played Minecraft can tell you, the latest graphics aren't everything. Want to make those multiplication tables and Revolutionary War dates feel relevant to a nine year old? What if those dates and products are key codes that unlock treasure chests in a quick Java game, playable as her favorite movie characters? Have an idea for the mobile game that will become the new Angry Birds? How about building a foundation for it yourself and using your quick prototype to recruit the artists and funding you want for your new project. Want to get a job in the game industry despite all of the rumors but don't know how to break in on one of those game mods that are supposed to be so good for your portfolio? What better way to understand the concepts than to build a quick game of your own?
Your first game
How does one build a game of one's own, whether as a prototype, learning aid, or good career move? Depending on your level of experience and preferred programming languages, any of Safari's 8,020 books on the subject might be a good place to begin, but I would like to introduce you to my personal favorite: Beginning Java SE 6 Game Programming, Third Edition by Jonathan S. Harbour. Written by a professional-game-programmer-turned-private-university-game-programming-instructor, this book can take a virtual non-programmer to the completion of a Asteroids-style game. Since the focus is Java and the games are built as web applets, they can be developed and released to the public for a price even your family should approve of: free. Detailed code samples (including complete source code) abound in the text, and virtually every game is built in a way that is easy to extend or customize to fit your preferences. Since the author's background is in the actual game industry, the book contains general insights and resources that benefit from his experience as an insider. Additionally, because his target audience is new to game programming, the book contains helpful (read free) resources that can be very useful for developing games without requiring a major investment of time and money to break into the field.
"Java is for newbies; 'elite' programmers use C++," you say. While I might be offended at your disdain for my favorite programming language, Beginning Game Programming, Fourth Edition focuses entirely on C++ and DirectX programming.
Intermediate games
Maybe you want to try something a bit more involved, like Jonathan Harbour's Sams Teach Yourself Android Game Programming in 24 Hours or even Multi-Threaded Game Engine Design.
Game development for kids
Want to try to encourage your children to follow in your footsteps as a programmer? Video Game Programming for Kids and Visual C# Game Programming for Teens
Advanced topics applicable to any programmer
Game programming has lessons to teach that don't often come up in a discussion of professional development. Efficiency, controlling frame rates, multi-threading, and object oriented programming are all standard enough concepts in game programming, and game programming can be an excellent way to gain experience with these practices.
Well, it looks like customer service just got back to your ticket about your poor character stuck beneath the world, so I arguably should expect to lose you any moment now to your quest. Whether you started today for a break from a boring customer service ticket, an interesting read, a way to help your child, a way to progress your career, a hobby project, or just a way to hone your skills, you should find game programming an ideal vehicle for your endeavors. You may have also found a way to prove you really would have done a better job on the collision detection.
Some proof
Here are the first four single-coder, released-to-the-public, educational games I made after studying Beginning Java SE 6 Game Programming, Third Edition:

•Says Clark lacks moral ground to speak on restructuring
•Drums support for military presence in Niger Delta
At a time it looked like people of the Niger Delta were about engendering a common front to initiate peace and speak with one voice, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has thrown spanners into the works by urging the Federal Government to reject the resolutions in the communique issued at the end of the Niger Delta Coastal States stakeholders' meeting held last Friday in Warri, Delta State.
MEND said convener of the forum, elder statesman and Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa lacked the moral rectitude to oversee a stakeholders' meeting let alone speak for the people of the region or restructuring of the country.
Spokesperson for MEND, Jomo Gbomo, in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday, said none of the elders and leaders at the meeting had the capacity to lead discussion on restructuring of the country.
He said the communique issued after the one-day meeting categorically did not condemn the heinous activities of the rampaging members of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) who had, since January, held the country's oil-economy by the jugular through bombing of oil and gas installations.
"The attention of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has been drawn to a meeting of the Niger Delta Coastal States held in Warri, Delta State on Friday, August 19, 2016.
The meeting was jointly convened by elder statesman Chief Edwin Clark and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State," Gbomo stated.
While picking holes in the communique in order to convince the Federal Government to ignore the recommendations, MEND said: "the Communique failed to categorically condemn the criminal and treasonable activities of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
This was principally because, notable promoter of the meeting, Chief Edwin Clark was recently named by the Reformed Niger Delta Avengers (RNDA) as a major supporter of the NDA."
It added that "Chief Edwin Clark lacks the moral authority to lead a discussion on the so-called "re-structuring" of the Nigerian Federation, at this critical point in the country's history; given the fact that, through-out the 6 years his "son" former President Goodluck Jonathan was in power, the elder statesman kept mute and actively participated in the economic dismemberment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In fact, Chief Clark's Abuja residence was an extension of the State House," the group alleged.
MEND also opined that "None of the persons who attended the Stakeholders meeting convened by Chief Clark and Governor Okowa have the capacity to persuade the people of the Niger Delta region to support the current efforts of the Buhari Administration to bring peace and development to the region."
Contrary to a clarion call against deployment of more military personnel and hardware to the region, the proscribed militant group called on the FG to ensure more presence of the military in the region to curtail the criminal activities of the Avengers.
"Consequently, MEND re-iterates its full support for the ongoing military presence in the Niger Delta region; even as we prepare to tour the region to drum support for the current Administration in an exercise code-named "OPERATION MOSES."
MEND shall continue to insist that; so long as these elders and stakeholders do not categorically and publicly denounce the NDA, the Federal Government should also continue to ignore them." it submitted.

Art museums often deliver surprises, some of which are statistics like this one: the world's most extensive collection of Monet paintings is in the Marmottan Monet Museum of Paris.
Nympheas, 1903. Oil on canvas, approximately 29" by 36". Musee Marmottan Monet, Paris.
The museum inherited its Monet artwork from Michel Monet, Claude's son. Its collection spans the painter's lifetime: in addition to such landmark Impressionist paintings as Impression, Sunrise, the Musee Marmottan Monet has numerous landscapes from the 1880s and 1890s, and many paintings from his beloved garden at Giverny.
The Monet water lilies steal the show.
Nympheas, 1915. Oil on canvas, 4'3" by 5'. Musee Marmottan Monet, Paris.
Students of Monet paintings know that he often painted the same scene or object in different light at different times of day. His wonder at the effect of light lasted his lifetime. Some of the recurring motifs explored in different lighting conditions included the Rouen cathedral; poplars; haystacks; Paris' train station, the Gare Saint-Lazare; and his garden.
Le Pont de l'Europe, Gare Sainte-Lazare, 1877. Oil on canvas, 25" by 32". Musee Marmottan Monet, Paris.
In Le Pont de l'Europe, the steam from the trains captures light and melds seamlessly into the sky. For the 1877 Impressionist exhibition alone, Monet exhibited seven variations of this train depot. This work has a traditional foreground and vanishing point between the two buildings, and while broaching abstraction, still retains elements of traditional painting.
Most vestiges of academic painting disappeared in the last thirty years of his life, when Monet focused almost exclusively on the motif of water lilies (Les Nympheas in French); there are 250 Monet paintings of
Nympheas. Oil on canvas, 41" by 29". Musee Marmottan Monet, Paris.
water lilies alone. In discussing them, he declared:
"The subject is not important to me; what I want to reproduce is what exists between the subject and me."
Claude Monet repeatedly ignored prevailing, popular artistic trends (think of the Nabis, Pointillists, Fauvists and Cubists). Toward the end of his life, he completely eliminated the subject from his work, paving the way for the birth of abstract art. Nowhere is this better seen than in one of his last Nympheas, above: inarguably, Monet's later impressionist paintings were the foundation of abstraction.

Arby's - poor security procedures Review
Went to the Cooper location south of I 20 Friday night. I say there and waited on my food and noticed the full cash drawer just sitting on the counter. So I decided since it sat there for over 5 minutes I would take a picture and share. The manager said he was too busy to properly store it. To me that's just being lazy and asking to get robbed .

New Fish sandwich (3/12/17)
I saw your fish sandwich advertised and thought it looked great. This past Friday I went to your location in Huntsville, AL in between Governors Drive and Bob Wallace. When I got home & opened the sandwich , it looked nothing like the one you advertised and when I tasted it I really thought, "This is the WORST fish sandwich I've EVER had. It was soggy with NO crispness or crunch." AWFUL. I had one bite and threw it out. Won't be buying another. You need to start over with this sandwich.
all the above. (3/20/17)
Go through the drive thru at our local Arby's, I said 2 small number 8s, one with a dp, and one with a root beer. Then I asked if the #9 was the big beef n cheddar, he said no we have one bigger, he didn't know how much it was, said "it's like $1 or $2 more". I said no thanks, I'll just stick with the #9, medium, with a dp. He said so 2 number 9s, with a root beer? I repeated my order, he got it wrong, it took me saying it about 5x before he got it. (Ok, that happens, it is loud at drive thru). But then, I had also ordered a buffalo roast beef slider. I pull up, and he says they had to make my fries fresh, so I had to pull up, I asked for Arby's sauce before doing so. He brings my food out, no buffalo slider or sauce. I go back to drive thru, he says oh oops, you got rang up for a jalapeño slider, and wouldn't give me what I actually ordered. He made a mistake, and I had to pay for it. $24 and my order was wrong! Ohhh, and no cheese on 2 of the beef n cheddar sandwiches!!

The Development of Milton's Thought: Law, Government, and ReligionJohn T. Shawcross $60.00
Published in 2008 | 293 pages | cloth | ISBN: 978-0-8207-0411-1
"Shawcross offers a careful, convincing consideration of Milton's legal, political, theological, and artistic thought, both its application and its effect. All along the way, he guides the reader of Milton toward a fuller, more sensitive evaluation of Milton's artistry. . . . Highly recommended." — Choice
"Shawcross's intimate familiarity with Milton's oeuvre allows him to pepper every moment of his argument with references to what has come before and what will follow in Milton's life. . . . In The Development of Milton's Thought, Shawcross leads us back to the man himself to remind us that Milton was a frail human being in search of personal understanding of the world and the divine. It is an important reminder." — Discoveries
"The Development of Milton's Thought is a valuable book, functioning as an important resource of information on a wide range of topics relevant to Milton studies today. There is something in this richly informed study for everyone – the historian of Milton's republicanism; the reader of his theology; the feminist critic of patriarchalism. . . . Shawcross' study will also be of deep interest to cultural critics, church historians, and the general reader of seventeenth-century English history, politics, Literary Studies, and culture." — Christianity and Literary Studies
Book Information:
With this pioneering book, John T. Shawcross debunks a common assumption about what we see in Milton's work: that Milton's views remained unchanged over time. Shawcross systematically analyzes this belief in light of Milton's vocation, social life, politics, and religion, and presents us with a Milton who, indeed, changes his mind.
The one constant in Milton's writing and thought is that of faith in God, but the theology that underlies this unchanging faith—such as his views on the Trinity and God's providence—develops through reflection and adverse experience, often yielding more defined ideas. Shawcross also traces the development of Milton's concepts about political thought, attitudes toward the church, financial matters, the "people," and gender, some of which result in complicated (and often unresolved) issues.
Shawcross's presentation of a Milton whose thought does indeed develop and change—albeit with an unbending belief that faith and God supervene—is an essential contribution to Milton scholarship.
Author Information:
JOHN T. SHAWCROSS is professor emeritus of English at the University of Kentucky. He is the author of numerous books, including With Mortal Voice: The Creation of Paradise Lost. He is coeditor of Milton and the Grounds of Contention, and is a two-time winner of the James Holly Hanford Award for the most distinguished book on Milton.

By Yuki Midorikawa. Released in Japan as "Natsume Yuujinchou" by Hakusensha, serialization ongoing in the magazine LaLa. Released in North America by Viz.
I noted with surprise that I hadn't actually reviewed this series since Volume 1 came out a year ago. I have been keeping up with it, and it's quite a good title. It's an especially welcome change of pace from Shojo Beat's line, which tends to focus on the romance aspects of shoujo. And while this volume of Natsume may introduce its first main female character, romance is still not an issue here. Instead, we continue to look at the world of yokai, and what it means to be one in the modern world of humanity.
As always, there's a very special love-hate relationship between the yokai we meet and the humans they've found themselves intertwined with. The first chapter deals with the immortality that the blood of a mermaid can give, and how it can be a horrific thing once you realize, years later, what life is meant to be like. THe best part of this chapter is likely the mermaid herself, who manages to be quite nasty throughout, but still maintains a sort of nobility towards the end.
The 2-part story in the middle introduces the girl I mentioned earlier, Taki. Much to my detriment, she's wearing a peaked cap, which immediately makes her sexy. (OK, not really - this manga doesn't do sexy that well - but girls in delinquent outfits are hot.) Despite her outfit, however, she's very quiet - and we soon find out why, as Natsume gets caught up in her effort to destroy a yokai who has promised to eat the first 13 people whose names she says out loud. He being the first, of course. Natsume has gotten much better at this protagonist thing, but he still tends to be emotionally passive, and as an action hero he's fairly miserable. So there's a sense of genuine danger to the proceedings that works very well. It's also good to see a 2nd student he can talk about things with, even though she can only see yokai in special circumstances.
The last main story is about Natsume's relationship with his aunt and uncle, and their relationship with Reiko, his grandmother who started the whole story rolling with her own spiritual powers. It's meant to show exactly why Natsume is so bad at letting people in, and that it's not always just a matter of trust and caring - people who get closer to him ARE in more danger. However, there are also rewards. Reiko clearly judged that the risks were too great. Will Natsume do the same thing? (Also, for all that I said Natsume wasn't an action hero, he does really well here in trapping a demon trying to destroy his relatives.)
There's also a final mini-chapter that ran in LaLa DX (the first four volumes were in DX; starting with this volume the series moved to LaLa proper, but like many shoujo series it returns for 'half-chapters' every few months or so), which features Natsume's friend Tanuma, and his ambiguous relationship with our hero. Like Taki, who can only see yokai when they move into the circle she draws, Tanuma can sort of see yokai - but not very well, and only as shadows. He's somewhat envious of Natsume, but as the chapter shows, seeing yokai has its own huge pile of disadvantages as well. I also note this chapter reads like an apology to the yaoi fans who make up a large percentage of Natsume's audience. "Sorry about the girl on the cover and in the main storyline - here's some guy friendship for you!"
Technically there's an element of horror to this series - but it's a very peaceful sort of horror, and the whole thing feels like it takes place in a world of gauze. Not that that's a bad thing - Natsume's Book of Friends has created a very evocative world, and people who aren't reading it due to the lack of romantic interplay are missing out on some excellent stuff.

Leadership in the Agency Environment SOWO 874, FALL2012
Agency-Environment Relations ENVIRONMENT – all external conditions that actually or potentially affect an organization. DOMAIN – the points at which the organization is dependent on resources from the environment. DOMAIN CONSENSUS – a set of expectations about what the organization will or will not do. LEGITIMACY – a generalized conception that the actions of an entity are desirable or appropriate within some socially constructed system of norms, values, and beliefs.
Environmental Elements National and International Economics Political, Economic, and Cultural Attitudes Demographic Composition Demographic Composition Religious Organizations Religious Organizations
Characteristics of the Environment Placidity vs. Turbulence Homogeneity vs. Heterogeneity Richness vs. Paucity Stability vs. Instability Simple vs. Complex Organized vs. Unorganized Certainty vs. Uncertainty
ADAPTATION – the process of change by which the organization provides a better and better solution to the problem COPABILITY – the internal ability to maintain your identity and overcome change Contingency Theory -No single structure is effective for all organizations -Structures must meet contextual demands of the environment Political Economy/ Resource Dependence Theory -In order to survive you must have legitimacy and power as well as resources -These resources are controlled by agents in the external environment Adaptation Theories
More Theories... ECOLOGICAL THEORIES - Survival of the fittest amongst similar organizations - Survival of the fittest amongst similar organizations - Your ecological niche determines the capacity of organizations - Your ecological niche determines the capacity of organizations - Can organizations not change? - Can organizations not change? INSTITUTIONAL THEORY - Organizations are driven to incorporate practices and procedures of prevailing institutions (i.e., the government) - Organizations that conform gain legitimacy and resources
ConsolidatedSystemicPromotionalObligational Degree of Central Control ~ A relationship between an autonomous organization and one or more other Organizations that join to achieve a goal none could achieve on its own. Inter-organizational Relationships (IORs)
Reasons For Collaboration The Need for Resources The Need to Expand The Need to Compete The Need to Move Quickly The Need to Achieve Economies of Scale
An Applied Example: A youth tutoring organization is having trouble connecting with their Latino students … Initial Phase You find out the father of one of your students sits on the board of a Latino Advocacy organization. You ask the father if he will introduce you to the director. Between the two boards a common vision statement is drafted based on each agencies core values. Committee meetings are scheduled and you begin forming trust by attending and being professional at these meetings. Implementation Phase The advocacy organization begins offering translation services and bi- lingual tutors to your organization and in return we market their agency and include them in major fundraisers. A collaboration manager is hired at each agency to monitor the partnership. They report directly to you the director. Research continues by both organizations so that the most up to date knowledge can be shared. Quarterly reports are submitted to both boards.
Chapter 22: Policy Advocacy and Lobbying A critical skill for managers of HSOs is "the ability to conduct meaningful policy advocacy in order to boost awareness of and resources available to an organization, its clients, and its community" (p. 455).
Advocacy in the Human Services Historically relevant to social work and social activism (i.e. settlement house movement, Progressive Era, etc. Currently relevant to social work and social activism (NASW, Code of Ethics) What can it look like? Policy Advocacy vs. Case Advocacy; Macro vs. Micro
Advocacy in Human Services Management What is the actual participation of human service organizations or managers in advocacy work? (Sosin, Pawlak and Flynn, Salamon) What are the benefits from participating in this kind of work? (importance for clients, improved service delivery systems, organizational health, more?)
Barrier 1: Legal Restrictions and Misunderstandings Fear of violating the law; Consequences are too great Misunderstanding of lobbying regulations What happens if an issue for which you are passionate about violates organizational policies? How do you respond? How can we address this problem?
Barrier 2: Leadership Initiative and Training Lack of managerial initiative Lack of training or access to training Lack of political involvement; Is the social political and vice versa? Can we think of examples within this school that promotes advocacy work? How can we address this problem?
Barrier 3: Organizational Capacity Challenges to networking and advocacy What needs to be addressed? (enhancing the public understanding of key policy issues, strengthening relationships with key policymakers, responding effectively to community expectations, and interacting with other organizations, more?) Resources for advocacy work (Human resources and funding)
Strategies and Tactics Coalitions Media Communications Framing the Issue New Technologies Who Should Participate? Striving for Effectiveness
CLASS ACTIVITY You currently hold a managerial position within the Autism Society of North Carolina and are looking to increase the amount of advocacy work within the Triangle. There is a new education bill that may decrease the the budget of disability services within public schools, which will most likely decrease the amount of certified teachers who can offer special assistance to children with disabilities, including children with autism. Using what we have discussed today related to agency-environmental relations, interorganizational relationships, advocacy and lobbying, how would you begin to address this issue and what resources or relationships would be the most important to develop first?

SOUTH SIDE--Pitt released its two-deep Monday morning. Contained within are the names of two freshmen who have yet to play a down.
Cornerback Damar Hamlin is listed below Avonte Maddox, who left Saturday's game against Georgia Tech with an undisclosed injury, and Dane Jackson, who took Maddox's place when he left the field. Additionally, cornerback Therran Coleman is listed below Ryan Lewis and Phillipie Motley.
Hamlin was sidelined for the majority of the fall with an unknown injury. He dressed and practiced last week for the first time all season.
Coleman played scout team quarterback last week to help the Pitt defense prepare for Georgia Tech's triple option. A Brashear High School product, Coleman ran the show at quarterback in high school under Brashear's triple option offense.
He's back at cornerback this week.
"Damar and Therran, the last couple weeks, they've really been battling back and forth," Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said Monday at Pitt's South Side practice facility. "They're just getting closer. They're freshmen, we'll see how close they are."null

A lien on the property? For a debt that is as poorly perfected as a notion of reimbursement for police services? That would be a bad faith lien and would be really ill-advised.

Think it would set an unfortunate precedent. Leave the homeowners alone. Go after the secret service if they requested the services of the Atherton police.

DJI just unveiled the most impressive drone we've ever seen. The new DJI Inspire 2 is packed with features like a 5K RAW camera, obstacle avoidance, redundant batteries / IMU and Apple ProRes. This drone's intriguing features take aerial cinematography to the next level at an unbeatable price tag. Inspire 2 I have worked with several drones in the last year and have started to specialize in drone cinematography. Having worked a lot with the DJI Inspire 1 (see my mastering drone footage tutorial here), and especially with the X5R RAW version, I have a very clear idea of what the new DJI Inspire 2 promises and how it might hold up in the field. This is not just any new drone announcement. The DJI Inspire 2 will actually turn a lot of heads and probably start a little revolution just like the DJI Inspire 1 did. Massive Power The new DJI Inspire 2 flies at a maximum speed of 108 km/h 93 km/h [UPDATE: DJI has changed the specs in order to make the camera more stable]. That is almost twice the 65 km/h speed of the former Inspire 1. The faster speed will allow filmmakers to follow fast moving objects like cars on a motorway more easily, and add more depth to shots filmed at higher altitudes. The new battery system promises 27 minutes of flying time, or double the airtime in comparison to the Inspire 1. On top of that, DJI has added battery redundancy to the Inspire 2, meaning that if one battery fails for some reason, then the other can take the drone home. This is a big thing, not only for safety, but also because it will make getting a license for this drone possible in some countries where such constraints are in place. Addressing the issue where cold batteries cause a reduction in flying time, there is now a self-warming battery system built into the DJI Inspire 2 to keep batteries at optimal temperatures even when you fly at -20° Celsius. Besides a much faster navigation and acceleration, optional special propellers will allow the DJI Inspire 2 to reach a maximum altitude of 5km above sea level where the air is much thinner. New Ways to Navigate DJI have added a second camera to the front of the DJI Inspire 2. This way, the drone navigator can always look forward, no matter how the camera operator orients the main cinema camera attached to the drone. The Inspire 2 has redundant sensors on the front, bottom and top for obstacle avoidance and precise navigation indoors, including infrared positioning sensors. An Impressive New RAW camera – 5.2K The Zenmuse X3 camera that came with the DJI Inspire 1 was very basic and had similar image quality like the DJI Mavic, or a 4K smartphone. We compared the quality of different Zenmuse cameras in a review earlier this year. The DJI Inspire 2 comes with a completely new generation of cameras, with both of them shooting at a resolution of 5.2K but featuring different sensor types. Zenmuse X4S The Zenmuse X4S is the standard camera attached to the drone. It has a 1-inch sensor and a resolution of 20 megapixels with a claimed 11.6 stops of dynamic range and a FOV equivalent to a 24mm lens. Zenmuse X5S The Zenmuse X5S is an optional add-on. It has a Micro Four Thirds sensor with 20.8 megapixels and a claimed dynamic range of 12.8 stops. The Zenmuse X5S supports 10 different lenses. In the future, there will be a DJI Osmo handheld device that these cameras will be compatible with, to be used on the ground. It looks like the Zenmuse X5S could replace your traditional cinema camera: in our Zenmuse X5R article we looked at the X5R in comparison to professional cinema cameras on the market and could see that the X5R is a very impressive camera especially considering its size. If the Zenmuse X5S is only a little bit better than the previous generation, it will already be quite impressive. I can imagine an advanced version of the DJI Osmo could turn this camera into a serious professional tool. The DJI Inspire 2 has a new video transmitting system that lets you stream a video feed to your remote at up to 1080i50 instead of 720p, as well as 720p footage up to 60 fps for live streams and remote viewing. Professional Formats – Apple ProRes & RAW This feels like writing a wishlist for a perfect camera, not like an actual product. But as I've personally seen this drone in real life, I know this is not a joke. Yes, this camera drone gives you not only RAW via Adobe cinemaDNG (at 4.2 Gbit/s), but also Apple ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 4444 XQ, H.264 and H.265. Apparently the ProRes and RAW codecs are only unlocked when using the Zenmuse X5S camera. The framerate in 4K goes up to 60p for RAW and when recording 4K video in H.264 and H.265, the bitrate goes up to 100Mbps. A new image processing system called CineCore 2.0 is integrated into the drone and helps organize and store your data right inside the drone body instead of the camera like on the DJI Inspire 1. The high quality codec formats are achieved by using new CINESSD SSD drives. A Dedicated High Brightness Screen DJI is also introducing a dedicated high brightness IPS-Monitor called DJI Crystalsky. The screen comes in 5.5 inch and 7.85 inch sizes with a maximum brightness of 1000 cd/m2 and 2000 cd/m2. The dedicated system additionally reduces the latency when in use with the DJI Inspire 2. The screen also includes 2 SD card slots that can record proxies and can be used in temperatures between -20° and +40° Celsius. More Intelligent Flight Modes The DJI Inspire 2 will add more intelligent flight modes to an already impressive system. This will allow you to fixate objects with the camera while flying the drone freely, or use TapFly that positions your drone wherever you point your finger on the screen, while avoiding obstacles during autonomous flight. DJI Inspire 2 Controller ActiveTrack recognizes common objects like humans, animals or cars, allowing you to follow them or circle them and avoid obstacles during flight. DJI Inspire 2 – Ready to Take to the Air This is the most impressive camera announcement I have witnessed and it will surely stir up both the drone and camera market. If you happen to be in either of those, you better jump on board or be left behind. Seriously, this drone makes any current professional drone obsolete and in the near future a professional DJI Osmo could very well make many handheld gimbals unnecessary. In this article you can read why I think the Inspire 1 RAW was a great alternative to any larger professional drone platform and today marks the time when compact professional drones are taken to the next level. The DJI Inspire 2 retails for just $2,999 (Without the camera). It is available for pre-order now and orders will ship by the beginning of next year. That's crazy considering what you get. The X4S camera is $600 extra. If you want to get the micro four thirds camera, the Zenmuse X5S costs more. The "Inspire 2 Premium Combo", which includes one Inspire 2, Zenmuse X5S, CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes License Key, is available for $5,999 until the end of the year. The Inspire 2 Premium Combo will start shipping in early December 2016 while customers who purchase the aircraft and camera separately can expect their orders to start shipping in early January 2017.

Yesterday DJI released the new Phantom 4 drone that marks a significant upgrade in terms of a consumer drone's artificial intelligence. Here's how DJI's new "toy" uses depth maps & machine learning to understand its surroundings. Besides numerous general upgrades like new materials, greater speeds, reach, battery life and a better lens among other things, the new DJI Phantom 4 features 4 additional cameras that can detect and map the environment in order to intelligently avoid objects and fly around them, as well as track people intelligently. At the release event of the DJI Phantom 4, here in New York, we had a chance to talk to DJI's Paul Pan who gave us his insights into the science behind the new technology. Take a look at our video, above, describing how it works. Here's another product video by DJI showing off the different sensor technologies on the new DJI Phantom 4 in a visually appealing way: During the event, we could also find out that the new Phantom 4 does not have a new camera. Some users were hoping for an upgraded sensor in order to get quality closer to the one found on the GoPro systems for example. Unfortunately, DJI has decided only to upgrade the lens and focus on improving the intelligent flight abilities as mentioned above. The guys from tested.com already had a chance to play with the new Phantom 4 in collaboration with DJI. Check out their hands-on video below: Thanks to an exclusive sales partnership with Apple, the Phantom 4 is only available via the DJI website and Apple until April 1st, when it will begin to ship through other retailers. [UPDATE: The Phantom 4 is now also available at other retailers.] The new DJI Phantom 4 costs $1,399 and is available for pre-order now. See the DJI website for more information.Read more
