Make Safety your number one concern. Survey your landscape space for any potentially harmful concerns such as large standing dead trees.
Never attempt to remove trees on your own. Always consult with a professional.
For do-it-yourself projects, map everything out on paper. Take measurements of your landscape areas. Choose particular plants based on their best growing potential in certain areas of your property.
Take note of problem areas such as poor drainage and erosion problems.
When planting, plant "like" plants and shrubs in groups of 3 or 5.
Plant items next to one another that have similar requirements (water, shade/sun amounts etc).
Perennial plants still require care to grow and come up every year.
Do your research! There are plenty of beautifully colored plants for spring, summer, and fall.
Re-seed bare grass spots between mid-April and mid-October. Water the area for at least 3 weeks afterward.
It's never too early to begin your landscape design. You can contact us at our office 484.860.3270 and set up your consultation right away!

In a remarkable achievement, a 7-year-old boy from Hyderabad, India, has scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in the African continent. Samanyu Pothuraju scaled a height of 5,895 meters above sea level and unfurled the Indian tricolor flag at the Uhuru Peak in Kilimanjaro on April 2.
Pothuraju was accompanied by his mother Lavanya (second name not provided), his coach Thammineni Bharath, a fellow mountaineer Shangabandi Srujana, and a woman, all hailing from Hyderabad. A local doctor from Tanzania also joined them on their landmark journey.
Pothuraju, along with other trekkers, started their journey from the base point March 29. It took them 5 days to reach the top.
A seven-year-old boy from #Hyderabad scaled the highest peak in #Africa, #Uhuru peak of #MountKilimanjaro in #Tanzania— ANI Digital (@ani_digital) April 15, 2018
Read @ANI Story | https://t.co/2KAi2HvgCr pic.twitter.com/xOfRzOZ0wP
"It was a rainy day and the road was full of stones. I was afraid and had pain in my legs, but I took rest in between and reached the peak. I like snow a lot and that is the reason I went to Mount Kilimanjaro," Samanyu was quoted as saying by ANI.
He added: "Pawan Kalyan is my favorite hero. My mom promised me that she will make me meet him if I try the world record. Now I am eagerly waiting to meet him. I will go to the Australian peak next month ending and want to make the record. I am studying in class 3 and computer is my favorite subject, I will never neglect my studies because of this."
His mother, Lavanya, faced difficulties at the mountain owing to the harsh climate following which she had to stop halfway due to her health condition. However, she was extremely happy for her son.
"I am really very happy as my son tried to achieve a world record. Our next target is Australia, 10 peaks in May end and that will also be the record for my son," she told ANI.
Here's all about Mt. Kilimanjaro:
Mt. Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano located in Tanzania at a height of 4,900 meters (16,100 ft) from its base to 5,895 meters (19,341 ft) above sea level.
The mountain is the highest peak in the African continent.
Mt Kilimanjaro has three volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira.
The first mountaineers to reach the peak were Hans Meyer and Ludwig Purtscheller in 1889.
The mountain is a popular climbing destination and is part of the Kilimanjaro National Park.
The mountain summit was also the wedding destination for an American couple who exchanged vows at Shira 2 Camp in September 2014.
Mt Kilimanjaro is also known as the place for the highest-ever cricket match ever played at an elevation of 5,730 meters (18,800 ft)

Beacon Ridge Sunday Bermuda Greens Conversion Plan
Dear Beacon Ridge Members and Guests,
It is with great excitement and pleasure to inform you that today, Beacon Ridge Golf and Country Club came to an agreement with Modern Turf to convert our greens to Sunday Bermuda. For the past year, we have done extensive evaluation of the various options available to us and were able to determine that Sunday Bermuda offers the best of all worlds in Bermuda turf for greens. It is dense, provides a grain free putting experience, is the most frost tolerant Bermuda species available and is the easiest to work with in day to day maintenance operations. Sunday Bermuda has a very long history of successful implementation throughout the Southeast and is becoming more and more popular every year.
Mike Rose, our Superintendent, is working with member volunteers to develop a detailed timeline to ensure the timely success of this project. We will be doing 9 holes at a time in order to keep the golf course open while we make this conversion. From a high level, the following is when key events are scheduled to happen:
· 4/10/2019 – Shut down holes 10-18 for overseeding with creeping bent grass. This is an attempt to keep the back nine greens alive and puttable through spring up to mid summer when the front 9 will be ready to open after Sunday Bermuda is planted. The back nine will be closed to play for at least 2 weeks, possibly longer as we monitor progress with the growth of this seeding.
· 5/15/2019 – Shut down holes 1-9 for fumigation to prepare for planting.
· 6/3/2019 – Sprig greens 1-9 with Sunday Bermuda. Play will continue on holes 10-18 while the greens grow in.
· 7/8/2019 – Shut down holes 10-18 to prepare for fumigation.
· 7/15/2019 – Open holes 1-9 with new Sunday Bermuda greens (all 18 holes will be closed for approximately 1 week unless new turf growth exceeds expectations).
· 7/24/2019 – Sprig greens 10-18 with Sunday Bermuda.
If weather cooperates, we are hopeful to have all 18 holes open for play by Labor Day 2019. This is the first and most important step to returning Beacon Ridge to the 4+ star level it once had. We are committed to making BRCC a premier golf experience and with your support, we will attain that goal.
Feel free to contact me, Mike Rose or Tim Pittman to answer any questions that you have regarding this plan. Tim, Margaret and Mike will be working out a very detailed timeline and risk mitigation plan over the next several weeks to help ensure the timeliness and success of this project.
Warm regards,
Raymond Ou

Recap: Sabres 3, Hurricanes 2
Sabres 3, Hurricanes 2: Defenseman Christian Ehrhoff scored his second goal of the contest with 44 seconds remaining in the third period to snap a tie as host Buffalo ended a four-game losing streak in its return from the Olympic break.
After Alexander Semin forged a 2-2 deadlock by beating a screened Ryan Miller (36 saves) with four minutes left in the third, the Sabres answered as Ehrhoff wristed a shot on goal that caromed off the stick of Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk and into the net.
Tyler Ennis also tallied and Miller joined Drew Stafford by notching a pair of assists for the Sabres, who posted their first win since Jan. 30 despite being outshot by a 38-18 margin.
Captain Eric Staal scored and Cam Ward turned aside 15 shots in his first start since Dec. 31 for the Hurricanes, who fell to 8-2-2 in their last 12 meetings with Buffalo. Carolina remained three points behind idle Detroit for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Buffalo drew first blood at 5:54 of the second period as Ehrhoff's shot during a power play trickled past a screened Ward, but Staal capped an odd-man rush by beating Miller between the pads nearly 11 minutes later. Ennis gave the Sabres a 2-1 advantage with 7:47 remaining in the third, poking home a loose puck in front.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Buffalo GM Tim Murray told reporters that re-signing Miller is "realistic, but it's not the route we're looking at right now. The route we're looking at is to get value." ... Stafford has scored six goals and set up five others over his last eight games. Ehrhoff has collected three tallies and four assists in that same span. ... Ward returned from a lower-body injury for Carolina while Buffalo welcomed back LW Matt Moulson and C Cody McCormick from upper-body ailments and D Tyler Myers from a lower-body injury. ... The contest originally was scheduled to be played Jan. 7 but was postponed after a blizzard blasted western New York.

Two nonprofits are asking the community to donate household starter gifts to 196 people who have recently transitioned from the Peachtree-Pine shelter into permanent housing.
The downtown Atlanta homeless shelter was purchased by Central Atlantic Progress and entered a transition period in late August. The shelter is now fully closed; every resident who accepted assistance was moved into "permanent supportive housing (or) rapid rehousing, depending on their needs and circumstances," a spokeswoman said Friday.
CAP and Partners for Home, a group that has helped facilitate the transition, are collecting kitchen wares and cleaning supplies for the clients' new housing. All housing units are located in and around metro Atlanta.

Donors may purchase items from about $1 to $50 from the Amazon.com wish list by clicking here. The list includes items such as hand soap, dryer sheets, laundry baskets and dishes.
Donations can also be made in-person, by dropping off purchased items at the Atlanta Workforce Development Agency building, 818 Pollard Blvd.

A small team of adventurers (@improv, @aussieninja, @justatouchfey, @paulag, @bashadow, @pbock and @hhayweaver) head out to find the forgotten village of Goldcrest. Unfortunately, the road to the village has been blocked by several land-slides and nobody has cleared the road so our brave adventurers had to leave their vehicles behind and continue the journey on foot. They encountered many zombies along the way and managed to leave the zombies behind by scaling a nearly shear rock wall. Unfortunately, they lost most of their weapons while climbing but they did get away from the zombies and have entered Goldcrest. While searching the local newspaper building, they found a post-it note indicating that the mayor and the clergy were having a big argument.
Later, inside the City Hall, they discovered the Mayor's ledger with the following scribbled inside: I told Father Jones not to allow it, but he didn't listen. We tried to isolate them with teleport technology but we failed. God help us now!
The team found a teleport terminal in the warehouse across from City Hall and figured that must be the way to access the church, so they all jumped into it and disolved, leaving behind all their clothing and anything else that was not part of their body.
Arriving at the other teleport terminal, the team members are rather shocked and embarrassed to find themselves naked and once again without any weapons! The only saving grace is that all of them are in the same boat and equally naked. Who would have thought that only living tissue could be teleported? Probably the inventor(s) thought that this feature would prevent the zombies from being teleported, but since they are living dead, that's probably why it didn't work as planned. The team also noted that all their injuries were healed during the teleportation! Bonus for them, but probably also works for any zombies going through.
No time to worry about clothing now... the team needs weapons! Thanks to whomever left those 2 axes and a shotgun near the teleporter!

Investigate the (supposedly isolated) church area to see if you can find any gold and look for clues about why there are so many zombies in and around this village. Reveal the mystery and teleport back to the warehouse to retrieve your clothing and other belongings. (If the majority of players would like to try getting back to their vehicles, that could be done as another game segment. I suspect it should be easy getting out of Goldcrest itself because all the weapons will be there at the other end of the teleporter, however, after scaling the rock wall, it could be a real challenge! Please voice your opinions on this possibility.)
Inside one of the rooms of the newspaper office is a post-it note that reads: Mayor seen arguing with the Clergy.
In the city hall they found the Mayor's ledger which stated: I told Father Jones not to allow it, but he didn't listen. We tried to isolate them with teleport technology but we failed. God help us now!
In the warehouse across from the city hall is a teleporter that zaps you to the church area.

If you have ever been involved in an accident, you know how chaotic the aftermath can be, especially if you were injured. Your heart and mind race as you wonder what just happened and if everyone is OK. Figuring out what to do next can be challenging.
At The Law Offices of Mitchell Clair, we believe it is very important for drivers and others in Pennsylvania to be prepared should they ever end up in an accident. Whether you are hit while crossing the street in Blue Bell or rear-ended at a stoplight in Lafayette Hill, knowing what to do after an accident can help you stay calm and help keep everyone involved safe.
- Stay where you are. Leaving the scene of an accident can be a crime, depending on the circumstances of your crash. If you can, make sure others involved are safe and without serious injury, but do not apologize. Apologizing can be misconstrued as admitting fault.
- Call for help. If someone is hurt, call an ambulance first. Then, call the police. Even if no one is hurt, it is still a good idea to call the police. Responding officers will likely create a report of the incident that may be helpful later.
- Collect contact information. Exchange contact information, including license and insurance information, with any other drivers involved in the accident. If there were witnesses, it is a good idea to ask for their contact information as well.
- See a doctor. Even if you didn't sustain severe injuries, it is important to seek medical attention anyway. Injuries can take time to develop, and it's important to have a strong medical history after the accident if you decide to file a claim.
- Document the damage. If there was damage to your car, take pictures as soon as you can after the accident. Photos will help ensure the damage assessment is fair and accurate.
- Call a lawyer. Before you talk to your insurance company, it is wise to call an attorney. Having a strong advocate on your side after a crash is important for protecting your access to fair compensation.
After an accident, having the right lawyer on your side is important. At our firm, you will have attorney Mitchell Clair's 30 years of experience on your side. We know that this is a difficult time for you, and we will fight to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Learn More In Your Free Consultation
In your first consultation, we will learn more about your case and help you understand the process of filing a claim. To schedule a time to tell us about your situation, please call our office at 610-228-4371 or 888-365-2811. You may also contact us online.

Monthly Update, June 2019.
There was great excitement in the Museum recently when we were given on loan one of the rarest exhibits ever, an Edison Idelia Phonograph, 65794, from 1908. Fewer than 500 of them were produced and this may be one of the rarest ones remaining, still in their original form. It has a mahogany cygnet horn and a sapphire stylus, not steel. It plays Edison Amberol cylinders, two minutes and four minutes, and there are approximately 70 of them in the collection lent to us, including Romain's 'The Trail of the Lonesome Pine' - photographed. Martyn has succeeded in getting the Phonograph to work and we have found a company in the USA which can supply a new rubber tube to connect the horn to the Phonograph.
There are also a number of 78RPM Welsh records from the 1930-40s in the collection, including David Lloyd singing Aberystwyth, as seen in the picture, and Jac and Wil singing 'Oh Tell Mam I'm coming' on the Welsh Qualiton label.
"The Manipulation and Editing of Photography" was Sue Clark's subject when she came to talk to us during May. She referred to the phrase, "The camera never lies", but by the end of the evening, we were all of the opinion that it is not possible to believe what we see in a photograph. She had a number of pictures to show us, including the first photograph to be changed, or 'edited', ever in 1846. Since then, a number of different ways of editing and manipulating photographs have been used. One of the first methods was to paint the negative before printing, and so it was possible to add things to the original picture. This led to a number of stories about ghosts, and even about a monster in a lake in Scotland. It was also possible to delete something, such as a cigarette in Paul McCartney's hand, or to change something in the original photograph by painting. During the Victorian period when people were dissatisfied with the portrait taken of them by the photographer, a'retouchist' was on hand to improve the pictures.
Another method of editing photographs was to take more than one picture and combine them; a notable example was'The two ways of life' picture created from 32 negatives over six weeks. This led to the creation of composite photographs, by cutting pictures and putting them together and creating a collage. This was a useful way of creating a picture of a crowd of people, such as college students. It was also a good way of producing propaganda, and many satirical montages were produced between the two world wars.
Today, computer software is responsible for editing photographs, and it is used widely and very successfully, often with very unexpected, very serious results among the young, as they see the ultra-thin bodies of their heroes. Yes indeed, the camera can lie!
A warm welcome to everyone to our events at the Museum during the Mid-Summer Festival:
11/06/19, Quiz Night, 19.00 - 21.00.
15/06/19, A Technical Hands-on Day for Families, 11.00-15.00.
21/06/19, a lecture by Mike Farnworth on "The Welsh in Liverpool", 19.00.

The vision of Zorggroep Almere
July 6
Self-steering teams are popping up all over the world, within established big companies and in new innovative start-ups. Lab Rooms firmly believes in the benefits of such teamwork. Managerial control may have worked perfectly during the industrial revolution, but in these fast-paced times it's often counterproductive and takes away the possibility to create ownership on projects.
We spoke with Wil van de Heijden, the project manager and lean consultant at Zorggroep Almere and participant of a Lab Room, about the importance of having a clear mission and vision. "We booked a Lab Room to define our team ambition and become a better self-steering team". Wil's team wants to position it's BMO team better and define clear success factors in order to get an aligned direction of where the team is heading towards together. "We offer a wide range of care in Almere, and we have many different teams within Zorggroep Almere who interpret the organisation's overarching vision either differently or not at all".
Zorggroep Almere's vision is to help everyone in need of care in its region. From general practitioners to physiotherapists, together they work hard every day, always remaining a stable and reliable partner, to make sure that the people of Almere get the best help."Instead of being guided by the laws and regulations, we stay true to our vision."
"As a team, you have to know how you can contribute to your company's vision and we want to help these teams do that" Will explains. "But before we can, we need to know clearly what our owns team ambition is and what our roles are". Inside the Lab Room they worked together with experienced facilitators, towards defining a clear teamwork structure and set up the first success factors; these are projects needed to make sure that the group achieves the desired outcome. When a couple of weeks later we're on the phone talking with Will he explains their "We're working hard on finishing the rest of our success factors and when ready for our next big step we're planning on coming back for another day at Lab Rooms."
"We aim to become the team that other teams come to whenever they have a question or are in need of help."We, at Lab Rooms, are very excited about the journey of Zorggroep Almere and believe its extremely valuable what Wil's team is doing. Even the groups that are caring for others, need some help themselves. And it's great that the team that Wil is in took ownership of such an important task.

I hope this borrowed laptop doesn't die on me like my previous one. I've not read your blog in ages and have a lot of catching up to do. Surely, going forward, I want to read any of your thesis stories you provide here.
Stomach like "a murky pond desperate to be dredged." I love that line . . . probably because it rings so true. Splendid story!


text: Because my old sneakers started to look little devasted, I started looking for new ones… ;> And it isn't easy to find perfect pair! I would like to have those with a hidden wedge to add some hight to my 164cm, but silver ones are so cool! So I need to make hard decision: 3,4 or 5? All of them I already try on, and I must say: they look awesome!

"Everything comes from the top."
An anonymous IRS official in Cincinnati has come forward saying orders to target ALWAYS comes from the top. How high up? Obama? Maybe that is why he wants to be anonymous.
The Washington Post anonymously quoted a staffer in Cincinnati as saying they only operate on directives from headquarters:
As could be expected, the folks in the determinations unit on Main Street have had trouble concentrating this week. Number crunchers, whose work is nonpolitical, don't necessarily enjoy the spotlight, especially when the media and the public assume they're engaged in partisan villainy.
"We're not political,'' said one determinations staffer in khakis as he left work late Tuesday afternoon. "We people on the local level are doing what we are supposed to do. . . . That's why there are so many people here who are flustered. Everything comes from the top. We don't have any authority to make those decisions without someone signing off on them. There has to be a directive."
The staff member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing his job, said that the determinations unit is competent and without bias, that it grouped together conservative applications "for consistency's sake" — so one application did not sail through while a similar one was held up in review. This consistency is paramount in the review of all applications, according to Ronald Ran, an estate-tax lawyer who worked for 37 years in the IRS's Cincinnati office.
This pretty plainly contradicts the story coming out of the IRS that rogue agents in Cincinnati were responsible.

Our 12-Month Healthy Diet Rotation Program Lets You Testdrive Different Nutrition Plans Before Committing to Just One - The One That Worked for You.
It is a fact that dieters are always looking for a diet plan that works for them. But not many programs give you an opportunity to test out 12 different healthy diet plans - one each month for a year before committing to one that worked best for you.
Ready to find the right plan for you?
Click the Button Below to Get Started! (or Continue Reading)
Each report is 5 pages or more and has the following sections …
The basic principles of the specific diet
The types of people this particular diet has proven to work the best
How to get prepared to start on a specific diet - types of food to buy, cleaning out the pantry, etc.
Sample meal plans for that diet to get you up and going right away
Proven tips of those who have used them and when followed increased the success of that diet
Here are the 12 plans and a small synoposis of each one ...
The goal of every dieter is to speed up their metabolism to burn fat and keep it off. The 3-Hour Metabolism Boosting Diet Plan lets you eat more food so you don't feel deprived and is designed to speed up your metabolism to burn more fat.
If you've found yourself in a bit of a slump when it comes to your physical fitness, it might be time to consider going on a diet. A calorie control diet is fairly straightforward and one of the most basic, yet effective forms of dieting out there.
A low fat lifestyle can cut your risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, coronary disease, cancer and stroke. Unlike other popular diet plans that are complicated and time-consuming, this one is easy to follow and beginners can adapt quickly.
An issue that many people face when it comes to eating is consuming too many carbs. While carbs are necessary for us to have and make energy, there is such a thing as too many carbs.
Every season, and usually right after the first of the New Year, men and women alike decide that they want to live a healthier lifestyle and get more fit. One option to consider is a mindful eating diet - it doesn't rule out any foods, making it an easier diet to follow if deprivation diets have let you down in the past.
Meatless Mondays have become the new norm for many organizations, schools and homes and many are turning to vegetarianism as a weight loss diet plan, or simply healthy living and reducing our ecological footprints on the planet.
Cookies and cakes aren't the only foods that contain sugar. It's also present in canned goods, bread, milk, juices and more – and it can be deadly. If you suspect that your weight and health are being ruined by too much sugar, it might be time to consider a sugar detox diet.
There are several ways to fast – ranging from low-to-no food sources to timed fasting periods only. It's important to understand how they all work so that you can choose the fasting diet that's right for you.
If you're struggling with being overweight, tummy fat or type 2 diabetes, this diet may be the one that works best for you. Other diets may concentrate on weight loss through low carbohydrates, high protein or other methods.
The paleolithic, or simply paleo diet - is a fairly popular diet which revolves around the concept of only eating foods that humans could've eaten in primal times, basically an all natural, no processed foods diet.
The concept is derived from the eating habits and meal customs of the countries that are based around the Mediterranean Sea where the people enjoy olive oil, red wine, delicious vegetables and longer ives.
A meal replacement diet is one of the easiest and most impactful weight loss programs you can adapt to your lifestyle. Most dieters choose a low calorie shake as an easy and fast replacement meal, but there are also other options - such as bars or a salad - rather than a burger.

I stopped a little bit early today, found myself a nice quiet, secluded spot in the woods and hung up the hammock.
I'm going to relax, listen to the birds, possibly a podcast or two and reflect on the year that has passed. Just me, the Mule and what sounds like a million cicadas.
It's been a good year. Intense, interesting and educational. May the next year continue in the same vein.
I'm going off-line now and would like to wish you all the happiest possible new year.
Bring it on!

Hi friends!
I am truly, madly, deeply in love with my garlic press. It's probably been my favourite kitchen tool for ten years. I use it at least 3-4 times a week.
Here's what's so amazing about it:
- There's no need to peel your garlic clove, just toss it in the press and squeeze!
- Simple clean-up! It comes with a little cleaning tool that snaps into the handle, I just rinse mine in the sink and use the attached cleaning tool.
- You can also use it for squeezing ginger, it's a little harder to squeeze the press but it gets lots of really tasty juice from the root. I peel my ginger first, chop it into 1inch squares and then crush it in the garlic press.
Garlic isn't only packed with flavor, it's also packed with health benefits. The characteristic sharp garlic smell is actually a sulfur compound called allicin that is emitted when garlic is crushed or cut, I like to think about it as it's own little defence mechanism. Allicin is known to have great anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties. Other compounds like ajoene and alliin have an effect on the circulatory, digestive and immunological systems of our body and help in lowering blood pressure, detoxification and healing.
AS IF you need more reasons to eat garlic!

Two VR users interact with one another through human actuation, the process of applying force and feedback in VR experiences through the use of another human user. There's a lot more than meets the eye, however. Introducing Mutual Human Actuation, the paper produced by the Mutual Turk researchers that gives a unique insight into the development of this human immersion engine.
Lung-Pan Chen, Sebastian Marwecki, and Patrick Baudisch have been experimenting with human actuation during their time at the Hasso Plattnew Institute in Germany. Human actuation is the use of human agents to enhance a virtual reality experience by providing force, haptics, and feedback to a VR user. The best demonstration of this concept comes from the group's 2014 early experience with the process, the Haptic Turk.

This week I am visiting DisneyWorld with my family. There is something magical about the place. It feels like everything comes together by itself. As if all was where it was supposed to be. The experience has been all planned to the exact details, as if it was possible to think of every scenario possible. The reality is that things that are well thought out from the get-go provide us with that feeling.
Software can be like that when whatever problem you throw at it, it handles it well. It's about the architecture that is designed to be complete and flexible. This allows for new needs to be met, sometimes using the software as is, or sometimes, only with a simple UI change.
I had a customer conversation that felt like that just before leaving. The problem was stated this way: Our SECOPS (Security Operations) department sometimes has to pull an email from the system because there is a security issue (malicious link), compliance (HIPAA or SEC) concern, or it was simply too large and was sent to too many people. In the first case, it can be a requirement to stop an virus outbreak or a phishing attack. In the second case, it's about stopping information that should have stayed private (PHI, for example) from spreading further. As email admins, we've all lived through the last case of an email that is too large and clogs the system.
Typical usage for Exchange administrator is to use the following set of PowerShell commands:
Search-mailbox & delete content
The challenge here is that there is no coming back when you make a mistake and your search criteria is wrong. That's the problem when you also inadvertently delete important emails as well. There is no undo, no revert. So the command has to be used very carefully, especially because it is rather complicated to get any visibility in to what you are doing.
Obviously, there is a better way with Netmail--one that allows you to correct your mistakes. Here is how it works. The first step is to create a policy (or filter) to narrow the job to the email you want to remove. This could be via the subject, recipient, specific user mailboxes, date or other filtering criteria. Then, you run an archive job with this policy. In this case, you probably want to use a special repository just for the SECOPS effort. Once the job has run, you can verify that the emails you captured are the one you want to delete. Then, with the same policy, you simply run a deletion job. Problem solved !!
Next is the nice part. If you made a mistake, you can re-inject the messages in the same location and with the same attributes than before archiving. You can even choose which users to re-inject. This comes from the migration capability of our software. An undo of sorts, just like magic without designing any special software. Mistake forgotten.
You see, I do not think this use case was ever thought-of in advance. But with properly-designed software, you get to a point, where a lot of the things you want to do can be done simply by applying the right configuration. This is the case with Netmail.
Sounds too good to be true? DisneyWorld is such a nice place.

Vacuum Sealing Guidelines
Food Storage & Safety
IMPORTANT : Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. Any perishable foods that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packaging.
For best result in extending the life of foods, it is important to vacuum package foods that are fresh. Once food has begun to deteriorate, vacuum packaging may only slow the deterioration process. Vacuum sealing cannot prevent the growth of mold. Other disease causing microorganisms can still grow in low oxygen environments and may require further measures to be eliminated.
Food Preparation Hints and Tips for Air-tight Vacuum Sealing
Cooking, Thawing and Reheating – Simmering in a vacuum bag helps food retain its flavor and it helps with the clean up as well. No dirty saucepans... When reheating foods in the microwave using your vacuum bags, always puncture open the bag to allow hot air to escape. You can also reheat foods in the vacuum bags by placing them in water at a low simmer below 170°F (75°C).
IMPORTANT : Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave – do not thaw perishable foods at room temperature.
Preparation Hints for Meat and Fish :
Try pre-freezing meats and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging. This helps retain the juice and shape, and provides for a better seal.
If you can't, place a folded paper towel between the food and top of the bag, but below seal area. Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during vacuum packaging process.
Preparation Hints for Cheeses :
Vacuum package cheese after each use. If you make your bag just a little longer than needed, you can re-seal the bag after each use.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, soft cheeses should never be vacuum packaged.
Preparation Guidelines for Vegetables :
Blanching is a process that should be done before vacuum packaging vegetables. This process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color and texture. To blanch vegetables, place them in Simmering water or in a microwave until they are cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times can range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens and peas ; 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini or broccoli ; give your carrots about 5 minutes ; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching, immerse vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process.
NOTE : All vegetables (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) naturally emit gases, during storage. Therefore, after blanching, it's best if they're stored in the freezer.
More on Vegetables :
Vegetables are a great candidate for portion control ; when storing vegetables, try pre-freezing them for 1 to 2 hours, then separate them into meal portions within your vacuum bags. After they have been vacuum packaged, return them to the freezer.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, fresh mushrooms, onions & garlic should never be vacuum packaged.
Preparation Hints for Powdery Foods :
When vacuum packaging powdery items like flour, it's best to use their original packaging inside of the vacuum bags. The fine powder could get sucked into the machine and cause enough damage to shorten the life of the sealer.
Preparation Hints for Liquids :
Before you vacuum package liquid such as soup stock, pre-freeze in a casserole dish, loaf pan or ice cube tray until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum package in the vacuum bags. You can then stack in the freezer. When you're ready to use, just cut corner of bag and place in either a microwave dish or drop into water at a low simmer, below 170°F (75°C).

BWW Review: ELECTRA at Dallas Theater Center
There are few theatres doing Greek tragedy these days, but Dallas Theater Center has taken on the challenge of making Sophocles' tragic tale of ELECTRA one that will resonate with a modern audience. Dallas Theater Center's "one-of-a-kind outdoor experience" of the play not only embraces all the drama; it raises the stakes with a fresh, in-your-face approach.
As any good Greek tragedy, ELECTRA is full of murder and mayhem. Prior to the action of the play, Electra's father was killed by her mother - and to say it divided the family is an extreme understatement. The three surviving children are all handling their grief in different ways, and their mother has moved on, taking a new husband. Everyone feels that they are justified in their actions, typical of human nature.
The show has been very creatively staged, taking place in various corners of the Dallas Arts District, reimagining the outdoor stage of the Annette Strauss Square as a tomb, with actors and audience alike filling the intimate space and (literally and figuratively) standing on top of the action; the lawn, a parking structure and, eventually, the infinity pool on Flora Street are also transformed into the settings of other scenes. With headsets providing a mixture of live audio and theme-enhancing sounds, guests are led through the show by volunteers who manage to herd the crowds without ever becoming a distraction.
Although the play's text provided an overwhelming amount of exposition and wasn't necessarily engaging throughout the entire 75-minute performance, the immersive staging and impressively designed listening experience were quite thrilling. The use of headsets and some prerecorded vocals perhaps created a distance between the live actors and audience, but the unique setup enabled the cast to execute a wide range of expression without the need to project or face the crowd, as is required with a more traditional set. Real world sounds and scents further enhanced the environment. (Keep a lookout for the sound engineers who travel from scene-to-scene on a moving cart, never letting the sound fail or falter.)
Certain areas of the venue are less audience-friendly, and the view is occasionally obstructed, as guests are occasionally positioned to stand directly in front of one another. Because a major climax in the third scene was out of view for me, my personal experience with the show felt unresolved, but in each venue the layered performances of each nearby actor were fascinating to explore. As the titular character, Abby Siegworth's Electra was frighteningly intense and impossible to take your eyes off of. Her ability to control the action from what felt like a football field's distance was an impressive feat. Siegworth's performance was well supported by the remaining cast: Yusef D. Seevers (Orestes), David Coffee (Paedagogus), Tiana Kaye Johnson (Chrysothemis), Sally Nystuen Vahle (Clytemnestra) and Tyrees Allen (Aegisthus).
Whether or not the classical story speaks to each audience member, the experience Dallas Theater Center has facilitated in ELECTRA is a treat for local audiences to relish. ELECTRA continues through Saturday, May 27th. For tickets and more information, visit www.dallastheatercenter.org.

This post was most recently updated on March 4th, 2019.Reading Time: 3 minutes.
This post is about delving into some legacy stuff – Microsoft has still kept SOAP-based SharePoint Web Services included in the product, since a lot of functionality has been built on top of them. We encountered an issue where you suddenly started getting exceptions for Unauthorized Access (-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException), no matter if you had access to the list or not.
Error description
We started getting this error, when requesting list items using SharePoint SOAP Web Services (namely, Lists.asmx):
<m:code>-2147024891, System.UnauthorizedAccessException</m:code> <m:message xml:lang="en-US"> Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource. </m:message>
This error gets thrown at you even if your user account has Global Admin permissions.
Haha, yes, yes it is. SharePoint Web Services is built on SOAP.
While you probably shouldn't build anything new using these services, there's bound to be a lot of legacy stuff that uses them.
Microsoft puts it this way:
Two API sets are still supported in the SharePoint framework for backward compatibility, but we recommend that you not use them for new projects: the ASP.NET (asmx) web services, and direct Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) calls to the owssvr.dll file."Deprecated API sets"
The asmx – SOAP – web services generally speaking should not be used anymore.
Marc D Anderson puts it this way (already in 2014):
I am not aware of any official specific time frames for the SOAP services going away, and the Product Group would need to give us a good, long lead time because lots of code depends on it, SPServices or not. Many people have built managed code-based solutions which use the SOAP Web Services as well. GetListItems is a workhorse operation no matter how you build your solutions.SPServices: What About Deprecation of the SOAP Web Services?
Microsoft's old stance on the matter is qwll described in the picture below – while Silverlight APIs, JavaScript APIs (namely JSOM) and in a lot of cases Server APIs as well are more or less already gone, the purple box (REST/OData Endpoints) is the API set replacing SOAP Web Services almost entirely.
As we can see today, the APIs were still there – and they started throwing errors my way!
Can't deny it, though – my first thought was, that now it finally happened: Microsoft just shut down the service it deprecated already in 2013(?). But it actually only happened on one tenant, so I guess that wasn't the case after all :)
But what was it, then?
Okay, this is basically magic. It's a bit weird, but the resolution here is the same as in this case:
Surprising, but the underlying error is apparently the same. So enabling "Legacy Auth Protocols" fixes the issue for the SOAP Web Service authentication.
So, in short – the PowerShell commandlets below should help you out:
Connect-SPOService Set-SPOTenant -LegacyAuthProtocolsEnabled $True
Then wait 24 hours and try again :)

Egypt Air Flight 804's downing is a tragedy. But we still don't know what kind of tragedy. While Donald Trump's certainty that it was a terrorist act may assure some, and could even be accurate, this isn't how investigations like this work. Theories serve only as a way to guide this investigation, but it is facts that will tell us what actually happened. And that matters not simply for the future safety of the global aviation network, but for the stresses on America's own aviation apparatus.
As data, sometimes conflicting, sometimes simply inaccurate, comes through over the next couple of days, it should be somewhat reassuring to recognize that the potential explanations are limited. Planes do not simply fall from the sky. The most likely theories of the case are that it was either pilot error, mechanical failure, or some purposeful disruption like terrorism.
The data so far suggests any of the theories could be true but certainly there is a possibility that it could have been terrorism.
While no one has claimed responsibility, the confluence of data points — no SOS from the pilots, a plane out of control, no weather explanation, Egypt Air's suggestion that terror is their more likely theory, the overall threat environment, and a history of airport security lapses at all the plane's destinations — cannot be ignored. These facts explain why the U.S. government is saying terrorism is its «working theory.» But, again, in the absence of evidence of an explosion, a group claiming responsibility, and any physical evidence, the working theory is only that.
And while finding the debris (and potentially a trace of explosives) is essential to determine which theory proves right, it would not tell us how an attack occurred. A not insignificant number of people had access to this plane in four countries including airport personnel, passengers and flight employees. And that does not even account for the checked luggage.
The magnitude of this investigation is evidence of just how complex our global aviation system is. And that is worth remembering as America's own security apparatus, the Transportation Security Administration, comes under increasing pressure to speed up delayed travel times.
Wednesday, I wrote a piece for CNN Opinion regarding the controversies surrounding long delay times at domestic airplanes. It seems almost moot now, but shouldn't be.
The challenges for the TSA are ones experienced around the world: the travel flow of millions of people balanced against the needs of safety and security. That balance will never be perfect, and modifications will need to be made immediately to ease travel for domestic flights this summer. But the challenge remains the same. Any security apparatus is a hindrance for people to get from point A to point B. And the security of any individual plane is dependent on the safety apparatus of a global network of airports also dealing with their own demands and procedures.
The notion that there is some perfect security apparatus that would be better than what we have is a bit of a fiction.
While some have called for the private sector to take over TSA, such a change wouldn't solve the intrinsic structural burden encountered in a world where millions of people are flying each day. And imagine changing course, and the burdens that would accrue, in the midst of another potential terror attack.
TSA, Congress, the airlines and even the American public need to make modifications for the summer of busy travel ahead. But those modifications, as the story of the EgyptAir flight seems to be suggesting, cannot be made at the expense of safety and security.

Hello and welcome back to another newsletter. I am deep into the final writing stage of my book now, and I'm trying hard to restrict the time I spend randomly looking at the internet. Luckily for you, I'm failing quite drastically at this.
Things to read
"And yet again Lewis chooses a girl as his viewpoint character. We see Narnia through Jill's eyes, and she has common sense, courage, obstinacy and what is now called 'attitude'. (Yes, she pushes Eustace off a cliff – but anyone might do that.) Jill and Eustace indulge in similar amounts of bad-tempered bickering, and their relationship — friendship with a touch of rivalry — is more realistic than any in the previous books. It's all very even-handed. Jill is afraid of tight spaces, but Eustace is afraid of heights. Jill doesn't fight the serpent, but she can tack up big, nervous horses and ride them without fear. It's Jill who fools the giants by putting on a comedy performance of Shirley Temple-style cuteness."

—This is what I got when I plugged my name into this handy "how a male author would describe you" generator. Have fun finding yours. (Inspired by this great Twitter thread.) Email to Pocket.
"The single best way to give the morning back to myself is to open a real book as I drink my first cup of coffee. I'm not sure why real books are best. I think the pages remind me that I have fingerprints. I think I like to see what I have read lying sweetly by the side of what I'm about to read, like a wife."
—I am quite partial to a bit of Patricia Lockwood, and she's on excellent form here giving her "writing advice". Email to Pocket.
"The nuns decided to take matters into their own hands. Establishing their base in the nearby church of St. Hilary, the princesses scrounged up a diverse cast of mercenaries that, according to Gregory, included 'murderers, sorcerers, adulterers, runaway slaves and men guilty of all other crimes'. Their little army's first task was to beat up the party sent to formally excommunicate the women. Then they turned their attention to the convent itself, seizing its lands before finally attempting to abduct Leubovera herself. At first, they accidentally carried off the prioress Justina instead (also Gregory's niece, which might explain his later hostility towards the women), but they succeeded in nabbing Leubovera on their second try. Basina herself took on guarding the abbess to ensure she wouldn't escape."
—These sixth century Merovingian princess were not messing around. Email to Pocket.
"How are we meant to feel about art that we both love and oppose? What if we are in the unusual position of having helped create it? Erasing history is a dangerous road when it comes to art — change is essential, but so, too, is remembering the past, in all of its transgression and barbarism, so that we may properly gauge how far we have come, and also how far we still need to go."

Lehman Brothers said Nokia's price-to-earnings multiple is at an eight-year low and added it expects the firm to report solid second-quarter figures.
