You didn't use reply! =)
*edit, I see the animation got fixed changed to a reply!
This post is making it hard for me with my assessment of whether to use Confluence for a document management of design specs or use Teams and SharePoint Online. It seems that we can do either or both and it is a matter of preference. We are using Jira currently and noticed the Jira Cloud in your screen shot in Teams. Assuming configuration setting as well.
Perfect timing for a project of mine : Exactly what I (we) needed :) Thank you !
I love this URL preview image :D
So far so good! Same workflow to set up Jira (install connector in Confluence Cloud, authorize connector to have access to your O365 account, log into Confluence)
It would be nice if there was a way to have this on by default for all users in the company
Will this eventually work for Confluence server?
It does not look like Amit Oberoi is in the community anymore. Is there any update to his statement about bringing Confluence Server support to Teams?
@Scott_Friedman, Confluence Server support is on our roadmap. Our goal is to first bring in parity with Confluence Cloud app and then add additional features from there.
This looks awesome - good job! :D I would love to see this on Server as well.

text: The Lifeline Bringing you the best local stories in and around our community. May 07 Is There a Leash Law in Seminole County? By Diane Gagliano In Seminole County there is a leash law, and in the Seminole County ordinances it is officially called: Sec. 20.17-Animals at-large prohibited; custody and confinement authorized. That seems to be the big question lately. In Seminole County there is a leash law, and in the Seminole County ordinances it is officially called: Sec. 20.17-Animals at-large prohibited; custody and confinement authorized. Since this is a mouthful, let's go over in layman's terms what Sec. 20.17 actually says and means. Most importantly, the "animals at-large" ordinance applies to both dogs and cats. Many people do not realize that cats are included so making everyone aware of this is extremely necessary. The gist of the "animals-at-large" ordinance is that it is a violation for any dog or cat to run loose on any public or private property, unless the owner(s) of the property authorizes your animal to do so. For example, it would be authorized for your dog to run loose in a dog park, but not a public park. All dogs must be on a leash when being walked off the owner's property. In compliance with the ordinance, dogs on flexi leads that extend beyond eight feet must be reeled in to eight feet when other pets or people are around. (Service dogs are exempt from this.) When any domestic animal is found running loose within Seminole County, it may be taken into custody by animal control or a law enforcement agency and taken to the Seminole County Animal Services (SCAS) shelter. A private citizen may also turn a stray animal into SCAS when found. There will be fees to redeem your pet once impounded The best way to keep your dog or cat safe and in compliance is to have your pet on a leash whenever you are outside your home or fenced yard. Make sure your pet is also properly vaccinated and has a Seminole County pet license. Remember, it is up to you to be a responsible pet owner in order to keep your beloved pets safe. SCAS is located at 232 Eslinger Way, Sanford. Adoptions, licensing, education, low-cost rabies vaccines, microchips, and volunteer opportunities are available. Animal Services will gladly accept donations, all of which go toward our homeless animals. To read more about the ordinances that apply to animals in Seminole County, visit SeminoleCountyPets.com and click on "Ordinances Pertaining To Animals" in the left-hand menu bar. Diane Gagliano is the program coordinator at Seminole County Animal Services. She has been an animal advocate for over 20 years and proudly owns several rescue dogs and cats. Want More Information? Reader's Comments Leave A Comment Posted By: David Mair [Monday, January 06, 2020] Seminole County ordnance does not state that an animal has to be on a leash. It states that the animal must be under the control of the owner. Seminole is the only county in the State, that I am aware of, that has this wording. I have seen dogs, on leashes, that are not under the control of the owner; the owner does not have the strength to restrain the animal if it wants to attack something. That is a violation of the Seminole ordnance. My dog obeys my commands at all times; that is effectively, my leash, thereby satisfying the statute. On the other hand, please keep your cats out of my yard and off my house. They a not under the owners control when they visit. I will take care of the squirrels, myself, thank you. That is, incidentally, a Statewide ordnance for humane control of vermin. Leave a Comment * Required Field Name:* Email:* Comment:* Submit My Comment!

Transferring the news production complex to HD format
The entire production chain of the directorate was modernized at all levels: from TJK to on-air equipment rooms. Obsolete equipment was completely replaced, the HD-format was introduced at all levels of production, including data storage, with the ability to work with noqmaterials in SD format. Due to the creation of the third broadcasting studio and changes in the structure of the hardware-studio, production volumes significantly increased. Installed equipment and selected solutions have technological flexibility and, if necessary, can be expanded and supplemented in accordance with the needs of the customer. During work, the TV channel did not interrupt broadcasting and all the latest news was watched by Channel One viewers as always.
Currently the TV channel can produce more parallels live news broadcasts for different time zones, and its employees can work in more comfortable conditions in the new quality of the television picture.

With World Hepatitis Day this week, we thought it would be timely to hear from Assoc Prof Jill Benson AM, ModMed Medical Educator about how important primary care is in the fight to eliminate Hepatitis B.
It's that time of the year again: the RACGP AKT and KFP exams are approaching. Find out how to prepare a smart study plan so you can maximise your remaining study time and maximise your exam success.
Well, here we are. What can you do in these last few days to make sure you are as prepared as you possibly can be for the upcoming RACGP exams? It's clearly too late to revise everything. But all is not lost. Read on for our essential last minute exam tips.
We hear many candidates saying things like "I am scoring 60% on practice exam xy or z and so I will likely pass the RACGP KFP exam". But we know from experience that unfortunately many candidates do fail the KFP exam, so it is probably worth unpacking these assumptions.
It's that time of the year again: the RACGP AKT and KFP exams are approaching. Find out how to motivate yourself for exam preparation this holiday season.
So spring has finally sprung, and we are all looking forward to the longer days and warmer weather. But with summer just around the corner it is a good time to think about skin protection from the UV radiation.
Sometimes time feels like it moves at a snail's pace, like when you're waiting for the next two minute cycle of a cardiac arrest cycle. At other times, however, like when you're running behind time, it feels like it is flying by!
November 2017 was the month of Programmatic Assessment Masterclasses in Australia for ModMed. Five workshops, hosted by five different organisations in four cities, saw over 400 people attend the Masterclasses. They were led by Prof Cees Van der Vleuten, from Maastricht University, Prof Lambert Schuwirth from The Prideaux Centre at Flinders University and Ms Christine Cook from ModMed/GPEx.
Getting back to work as soon as possible after an injury might feel like a difficult and even dangerous task both for doctor and patient, but research tells us it's 'good for us to work'. What are the issues?

I have been a member of the workforce since 1982. I have worked in retail, restaurants, hotels, gas stations and even a recycling plant. I've even a ran small retail business.
I never had a problem working the holidays when I worked in restaurants and hotels. Not only was I happy to make holiday pay (not that it's that big of a difference when you're a restaurant server) but it's nice to be able to spend the holiday with people who don't have anyone else to spend the holiday with.
Police, fire & medical personnel all have to work. They get no holidays. They and their families make sacrifices only to be rivaled by military and their families. But retail, that's another story. The fact that we can't have one 24 hour period of thanks before the onslaught of greed and corporate profits is insane in my opinion. It also looks like I'm not alone in that opinion.
I understand that "Black Friday" stimulates the economy. We're not talking about Friday though, we're talking about Thursday which is Thanksgiving; a national holiday of thanks, reflection, (over-eating) and family. I understand that we've all had to tighten our belts, believe me; I'm looking at the most frugal holiday I've had in almost 25 years.
There are plenty of online sales if you truly want to shop on Thursday (which will fill the order on Friday) without having to line up with hundreds of other shoppers at retail locations only for them to have 5 items at the advertised price. In addition, everyone will have their doors open bright and early on Friday.
Not to mention the behavior of shoppers rivaling those of the annual bridal dress sale at Filene's Closet. If you're unfamiliar, look it up. Women will work in teams and brawl like hockey players over these dresses!
Now to be fair, my Mom was one of the ones who would pour over the ads, plan her route by what she wanted to buy vs the door gifts for early bird shoppers. I remember waiting outside of a retail store at 5am with coffee in hand waiting for doors to open. For the record, the only reason I agreed to go was because at the time I worked third shift and it was still within the scope of my "normal hours".
I'm not opposed to sales, making a profit or getting a great deal. I just think that we should observe one 24 hour period of thanks before the onslaught of greed, materialism and consumerism takes place.
If you feel similar, please consider sharing this message. In addition, someone started a page on Facebook called Keep Black Friday Out of Thanksgiving, please consider visiting their page and showing your support.
Please don't serve your turkey for breakfast just so you can get in line to support this madness.

Vargas Goes the Distance in his First Victory in Over a Month
With Casey having computer troubles and me out of town, we were not able to recap the first game of the Mariners – A's series so I'll go ahead and address that quickly. The game was pretty boring for the most part. Seattle struck first in the first with a run. Millwood dominated on the mound pitching 7 shutout innings. Furbush gave up a run in the 8th though, tying up the ball game at 1-1. Well the score would remain like this until the 11th when Oakland took back the lead. Oliver Perez was on the mound and after giving up two base hits, Chris Carter hit a walk off, 3 run shot to win the game 4-1. It was just a disappointing finish for Seattle and the offense just couldn't get things done. But now its time for last nights game.
Vargas took the mound for Seattle last night and he's been putting together a handful of strong starts in a row. For Oakland, it was the impressive rookie Jarrod Parker. Seattle was able to get a run in the first when John Jaso picked up a base hit, moving Saunders to second but he then scored on a Coco Crisp error. The lead wouldn't last long though as Oakland also brought a run in the first as Josh Reddick hit a two out solo homerun.
Seattle would reclaim the lead in the second. Casper Wells opened up the inning with a base hit and Justin Smoak followed him up with a ground rule double. Brendan Ryan then stepped up and hit a double to left, bringing in both runs. The lead would stick though as Vargas would dominate the rest of the game.
In the second, Vargas had a 1-2-3 inning and in the third, he got out of a one out jam with an inning ending double play. The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th were all 1-2-3 innings. He had an impressive streak of 13 straight batters retired. The streak came to an end in the 8th when Brandon Inge opened the inning with a single. Vargas would get a double play right after that and continue to cruise. He came back on to pitch the 9th and was able to work around a couple base hits to hold Oakland to one run. The final line for Vargas on the night was 9IP 7H 1ER 1BB and 6K. It was a great way for Vargas to close the first half of the season and he now has a 4.07 ERA and a 4.86 FIP. Vargas was pretty efficient on the night, needing 107 pitches, 66 of which were strikes.
While Vargas did his job, the offense did their job. After scoring in the second, they scored again in the 4th and 5th innings. Casper Wells continues to hit well as he hit a solo homerun to left, his 4th of the year. In the 5th, Ichiro picked up a one out base hit and then stole second. Michael Saunders and John Jaso picked up back to back walks, loading up the bases for Kyle Seager. He picked up a big time double, clearing the bases. The 3 run 5th inning would be the last of the scoring for Seattle on the day.
Ichiro, Brendan Ryan, and Casper Wells each had 2 hit days. Smoak, Seager, and Jaso picked up the other 3 hits for Seattle. The team struggled in striking out 11 times, 3 of which came from Carlos Peguero. No surprise there. He has 5 strikeouts in 8 plate appearances since his call up.
Seattle will finish up the first half of the season as they take on Oakland today. Felix is taking the mound against Bartolo Colon. We have seen this matchup a handful of times already this year but I think Felix will continue his recent dominance and finish the first half strong.

I've spent a lot of time on this blog bemoaning Sean's various food quirks, but I've spent much less time talking about mine. My biggest, most offensive one? Potatoes. I'm not that much of a fan.
I like my potatoes to be void of potato taste. That means I liked them fried to oblivion, covered in seasoning salt or cheese or bacon or ranch dressing or ketchup. I had conquered many food mountains that once scared me, like shrimp and Indian food, but mashed potatoes are still my Everest.
People wonder how can this be. I can't offer reasons. I just wince when I take a big mouthful of mushy, unadulterated potatoes.
It is my fortune, then, that I'm marrying a man I call Irish McIrish O'Bunch whose favorite foods are potatoes, meat, more potatoes and peas.
I knew I couldn't deny him his favorite food forever, but I wanted to find a potato dish I could enjoy, too. So I did a search for roasted potatoes and came up with several variations on a theme: Crispy Parmesan Potatoes.
I boiled 9 or 10 Baby Dutch yellow potatoes for about 5 minutes and allowed them to cool.
Once they cooled, we cut them into quarter slices, then I drizzled them with (in this order): olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder and grated parmesan, tossing as I went.
When I say I like them crispy, I mean crispy, so I let them roast for a little more than 25 minutes. I can admit our steak probably suffered because my timing was all off, but the potatoes were MAGIC. I LOVED them.
They were potatoey (yeah, it's a word I just made up) enough for Sean and crispy and flavor-packed enough for me. They are totally my new staple side dish.

When the N.F.L. agreed in August to pay $765 million to settle hundreds of cases accusing it of hiding information about the dangers of concussions, the league no doubt hoped that fans would instead focus on the players and the games that make the sport a national obsession.
To some extent, that has happened. Television ratings have hit new highs, attendance and merchandise sales remain strong, and the league is gearing up for its first Super Bowl outdoors in a cold climate.
Yet the drumbeat of news about concussions, head hits and cognitive disorders continues unabated. Barely a week goes by without a star player being sidelined with a concussion. Video clips of helmet-to-helmet collisions in slow motion are a staple of game broadcasts, and concussions are also in the spotlight off the field as former stars like Tony Dorsett speak publicly about their memory loss, irritability and other health problems.
While the N.F.L. and the lawyers for the former players who sued the league are still haggling over the finer points of their deal, a growing number of retirees are hinting they will vote against it.
This month, the former star quarterback Craig Morton sued the N.F.L. in federal court, making some of the same allegations as those from the more than 4,500 retired players who sued the league during the past few years. Morton's filing suggested that he would reject the settlement and continue pursuing a separate case against the league. Dozens, if not hundreds, of former players could join him.
Morton's lawyers accused the league of agreeing to a deal just before the season as a way to deflect negative attention.
"Their concerns are different from the P.R. concerns of the league," Jon King, one of Morton's lawyers, said of the former players.
Several former Kansas City Chiefs have taken a new tactic: they sued the team in state court in Missouri, saying that they have been unable to file workers' compensation claims.
Former college players are still fighting the N.C.A.A. and, in a new development, nearly a dozen retired hockey players have sued the N.H.L. over head injuries.
All of this suggests that while the N.F.L. may have addressed its biggest legal challenge, many smaller ones endure. And as long as concussions are in the national conversation, young athletes and their parents will have to consider whether the game is safe enough to play.

Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Updating and iterating, part of SOLIDWORKS: SimulationXpress.
- [Narrator] SolidWorks has the ability to modify individual dimensions inside of a model, to adjust for a factor of safety or a certain amount of force applied to a part. To get started, let's go ahead and click on SimulationExpress, click on "next", and down here, you can see we're going to add a fixture. I'm going to go ahead and just choose this face right here. We're going to do a very simple model, just to show how this works. Click on "next". We're going to be applying a force, right there on top of that. We're going to go 500, facing down, click "OK", looks good.
Next, choose a material, let's try 1020 steel, apply enclose, click on "next". Go ahead and run that simulation, and let's go ahead and see what happens. Flexing down, as expected, click "yes", looks good. Now, it says my factor of safety is 1.69. And, a lot of times when I'm working on designs, I'm looking for a factor of safety of about three. So you can see we're a little bit under design. You click on the stress, as you can see here, there's a lot of stress on that area, top and bottom, not much in the center.
So, we're in a good place to start iterating on this design. So, down here, you can see I'm done reviewing the results, and, now I'm getting ready to optimize. Right, so I can generate reports prior to doing that, if not, jump down to "optimize" and it's going to ask us if I'd like to optimize my model, and I say "yes". Click on "next". And now I'm going to go and choose one of these dimensions. So, here it is, I can zoom in over here. I don't really want to change the width, but I can change the height. So here's my height, here' my model dimension, here's it's current value, and go ahead and click on "OK".
Now, I'm going to give it a range of either higher or lower, so in this case here, I have a minimum value of 1/4", but that's really not what we want. We want that to be .5, which it starts at, and we can go as thick as, let's say, one inch, that should be okay. As far as our constraints, we don't really have a constraint, but we do have some other options here. Right, so we can add a constraint, as far as a factor of safety, or max displacement, or max stress. So in this case here, I'm looking for a factor of safety. Right, and I'm saying I'd like to have a factor of safety of above 3.0.
Those are my options, right? Now you can of course change this to maximum stresses, or anything else like that, but in this case, I want a factor of safety of three, and the only thing I'm giving it is the ability to change the thickness of the part. We could make this much more complicated if we wanted to, and be able to change the width and height and thickness, and everything else. But to show a very simple example of how this works, I'm only changing the thickness, and I'm only looking for a factor of safety of three. Go ahead and click on "run". And, it's going to go ahead and run five scenarios, by changing that thickness, and seeing what happens.
So the first one it does, it goes to the maximum thickness, and says "Well, let's try that out". Now let's make it a little bit thinner, and then it says, "Hey, by the way, we've solved the problem, and we've decided that we've come up with an optimal factor of safety, and here it is". My initial value was 1/2", factor of safety of 1.6. The optimal value is .67, and it's a factor of safety of very close to three. So let's go ahead and click on the optimal value, looks great. And, we've now solved our problem.
And actually, we haven't done it, SolidWorks did it for us. It figured out the factor of safety of three, and it determined what the closest value of that thickness needed to be, to get to that value. So that's how you run a factor of safety analysis, and optimization, and iteration, inside of SolidWorks.

Are you anxious to hear about others experiences at Punta Mita?
Our Fabulous Stay
My family had an incredible stay at the villa. The location was great. The beach club and restaurant were so enjoyable. The concierge was very helpful and made all our wishes come true!! We loved the floor plan and having the golf cart was very convenient. We can't wait to go back!!

Excellent as Always
This was our second time renting and just as good if not better than the first time. We were very happy with the condition of the rental, the location and all the amenities. The owners were very accommodating to working around our dates and most helpful. We look forward to going back soon.

Sweet Dreams are made of this!!
My husband and I have just returned from an 18 night stay at "Las Palmas Uno". We were met at the airport by our very friendly driver Eduardo and once we arrived at the villa, Claudia was there to help with ANY questions we had. She did our grocery shopping for arrival and made us feel very much at "home". The villa was as beautiful as the photos depicted. The owner made available to us his golf cart, which we used every day to get to the golf courses (5 minute golf cart ride), where we dined on the beach and absorbed the sun and flavors of Mexico. There is a beach and beach club a 5 minute walk from the villa, so after golf we walked the beach and went for happy hour to watch some incredible sunsets. My husband and I have been to quite a few golf destinations around the states/world and we have found our Eden in Punt Mita, golf and ocean, the best of both worlds!! We plan on returning in February 2012....

"I was fortunate enough to enjoy a five night stay at Dulce SueSueños from January 23-27, 2009. We began each day poolside, lifting our coffee cups and saying, "It's good to be us!" From the grand entrance with its waterfall, to the wide open living area overlooking the golf course and the ocean, to the totally restful bedrooms and "cook's kitchen" this is the ideal destination if you're looking for paradise. It was certainly good to be us!"
"When my son was asked how he liked the villa, he said 'My parents always move rooms or villas when we are on vacation because something isn't quite right...This is the first time we haven't needed to move to another location!"
"Our first visit was so heavenly that we returned the very next year to the EXACT same villa."
"When I walked in last year on our second visit, I was so struck, I said out loud, 'It's more beautiful than I rememer it."
"The days spent in Punta Mita will be forever fond memories. For me, it was as much about the journey as it was the destination. Every day a gift & the time spent with family - priceless. I can't imagine anyone leaving disappointed."

To remain competitive in an increasingly pressurised climate, foodservice operators will need to be at the top of their game. Looking ahead to 2017 and beyond, we've summarised some of the key trends from industry experts to help stay ahead of the pack.
2016 was a turbulent year for the foodservice sector to say the least. In the aftermath of Brexit and election of Donald Trump, consumer confidence is expected to stutter this year. Growth is also likely to slow as investment decisions are put on hold as negotiations with the EU commence.
Alongside this uncertain macroeconomic environment, caterers are facing rapidly increasing costs as the new National Living Wage comes into effect in April. Thereafter over 25's will be paid £7.20 an hour, an increase of 50 pence compared to previous rates. Further, food prices are also predicted to rise by 3%-4% in the UK as the impact of a weakened pound sets in.
1. Flexitarianism and vegetables are on the up
According to Whole Foods, Flexitarianism (eating predominantly vegetables but not strictly vegetarian), is going to be one of the dominant food trends of 2017. Whilst the concept of eating less meat isn't exactly new (Meat Free Monday was started in 2009 by the McCartneys for example), the signs are that Flexitariansim will begin to become more mainstream in 2017.
Looking out to the high street, last year we saw Pret launch its first ever vegetarian only pop-up 'Veggie Pret'. The company reported the trial a huge success turning the pop-up into a permanent site. Pret are now planning a number of new openings in 2017 signalling strong demand from consumers for vegetarian and vegan products.
Meanwhile in Silicon Valley investors are pouring money into startups like Beyond Meat are developing plant based alternatives to proteins. Their flagship product, a burger patty which looks, tastes and bleeds like real meat, out sold real meat burgers in a head to head test at Whole Foods last year.
2. Responding to the delivery disruptors
Late last year The Caterer reported that takeaway sales increase by more than 50% with rise of delivery companies, accounting for up to 25% of some customers' spend. There has been some significant movement in the UK with the arrival of Uber Eats, the acquisition of Hungry House by JustEat for £200m, and Deliveroo raising an additional $275m in funding to compete.
With customers changing, caterers will have to respond. Catherine Roe, CEO of Elior, said: "The rapid development of digital and technological innovation will be transformational in the hospitality world over the coming years. Great food and service will always be a core requirement, but the way it is delivered, paid for, made available and accessed will change markedly."
Consumer behaviour is fundamentally changing to the point where we might actually question whether we need the physical restaurant. Deliveroo for example are launching 'RooBoxes' where customers can pick up their food, and high profile chefs like David Chang are intentionally designing menus that travel well.
On the production side, flexible kitchen spaces and central production units which can be scaled up or down depending on demand are reducing barriers to entry for smaller operators. ShareDining for example are creating an airbnb style marketplace for kitchen spaces and caterers.
Caterers will need to respond by offering more choice of offer, new methods of ordering and delivery, flexibility and better communications to keep up with technology startups who continue to disrupt the space.
3. The "Waste-Not Economy" crosses the chasm
In 2016 food waste as an issue really exploded. High profile campaigns run by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and The Evening Standard highlighted the problem, and brands like AccorHotels responded by setting ambitious targets to reduce food waste.
In 2016 pioneers like celebrated chef and food waste activist Massimo Bottura hit the headlines by turning leftovers from the Olympic village in Rio into three course dinners for people living in the city's favelas. It is clear that consumers care about the issue of food waste and this trend will continue in 2017 becoming more mainstream.
More chefs are using beet greens, chard, turnip greens, mustard greens, carrot tops, many items often previously discarded. Restaurants are making a conscious effort to turn product previously considered waste into something more interesting and inventive. Think picking watermelon or spiralizing vegetable stalks.
With food costs rising costs, increased competition and increasingly demanding customers, it's becoming abundantly clear is that caterers of all shapes and sizes would benefit from an increased focus on food waste to maintain margins.

Water mites is a group of about 5000 species of mites. Scientific name of them is Hydrachnidia or Hydrachnidia or Hydracarina or Hydrachnellae. They are usually very small and this is one of them. I found it in my freshwater aquarium on Helisoma anceps. It is so small that I had to use lens to verify, that the small dot on the shell is a water mite. The water mite is in the centre of the photo. It is on the mantle edge near the aperture. Detail cropped from the previous photo: You can compare the size of the water mite with two Ferrissia fragilis snails on the top of the shell of Helisoma anceps. Both of these freshwater snail species are of North American origin and both belong to the same family Planorbidae. Ferrisia fragilis can reach 3.2 mm maximum shell length, but I think my snails are a bit smaller. The water mite is about 0.5 mm or smaller. It was actively moving on the snail. The dot in the centre of the photo is the water mite: I do not know the origin of the water mite. I found only one in my aquarium meantime.
Monthly Archives: February 2015
Photo of the day (44): eggs of Helisoma anceps
Helisoma anceps lays eggs in gelatinous translucent clusters.
This cluster is taken shortly after eggs laying. I think it is about the second or the third day. There are seen five small dot-like embryos:
Another cluster of eggs contains six more developed embryos:
This is yet another cluster of nine eggs shortly before hatching. Eight hours later all snail were hatched. The length of this whole cluster is 4 mm and it is attached to a stem of a common freshwater plant from the genus Hydrocotyle. There are seen shells of all nine embryos and there are seen heads with eyes of three snails in the first row:
Photo of the day (43): Clausilia rugosa
Clausilia rugosa is a clausiliid living in forests on limestone rocks. Its shell measure up to 9.5 mm and it is the smallest species in the genus Clausilia.
The locality is Průchodnice Nature Reserve in the Czech Republic. It is a deciduous forest reserve with European beech Fagus sylvatica on limestone rocks. There are also remnants of caves by Upper Paleolithic men (Magdalenian culture). It is a nice reserve especially in April:

Another Successful Project by GGA
Several counties have experienced setbacks recently trying to build justice facilities after voters approved ballot issues. These projects went on hold as bids came in significantly over-budget. Dedication of the new Bourbon County KS Law Enforcement Center demonstrates that projects can move forward in this difficult construction market. Bourbon County Officials worked closely with the design team at Goldberg Group Architects to adjust the scope and budget to move their project forward with expert construction management from Universal Construction.
The state-of-the-art 21,000 square foot, 74-bed facility contains detention housing, Sheriff's offices and support facilities such as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), canine runs and a shelled Housing Pod for (16) future beds. Project costs total $8.8 million including all construction fees and furnishings. There were $0.00 in Change Orders for the project–practically unheard of in today's construction environment and on buildings of this complexity and size. Plans include return of $21,000 in unused project funds to Bourbon County.

TTS serves as a center of digital excellence, deploying a cadre of subject-matter experts to support customer agency IT modernization/digital transformation initiatives. The TTS mission directly supports GSA's continuing efforts to "better deliver on our mission to provide the best value in real estate, acquisition and technology to government and the American people."
The merging of TTS into FAS is a positive, strategic step for GSA. It has the potential to be a game-changer. The move combines FAS and TTS resources to leverage efficiently and effectively technical, program management and procurement expertise to deliver best-value support for customer agencies. At the same time, it provides TTS with a sound, holistic, organizational/budgetary framework to support agencies seeking to modernize their IT infrastructures.
Fundamentally, the combination of acquisition and digital expertise into a single organization comes at a time when the combination of such expertise is needed to support government operations. We face rapid technological/digital change — change that is impacting the procurement system on a daily basis. For example, next week will mark the launch of the Department of Defense's FedMall website that includes a FedMall MarketPlace that will offer a new dynamic pricing model and streamlined application process that provides access to the commercial market for DoD contracting officers. The government is just scratching the surface of digital transformation, and thus, the combined capabilities of FAS' acquisition corps (think FEDSIM, for example). Now as part of FAS, TTS' technologists can lead the reinvention of government-wide acquisition.
Significantly, among the missions assigned to TTS at its creation, was "[l]eading GSA in incubating new contracting vehicles to procure emerging technology products and services where technical expertise is needed. Incubation will be done in coordination with FAS, and all government-wide procurements vehicles housed in FAS." This statement is from the original GSA order creating TTS. The merger of FAS and TTS aligns with this statement, creating a powerful opportunity to create more open, flexible and innovative contract vehicles that allow customer agencies access to the latest commercial digital and information technology.
For example, modernizing the Multiple Award Schedule program to leverage best commercial best practices and access to the market is fundamental to FAS delivering best-value to customer agencies. As part of FAS, TTS can lead the digital transformation/modernization of GSA Advantage, e-Buy, and the Acquisition Gateway, moving these systems to a dynamic pricing model and greater access to the commercial marketplace. Moreover, TTS can further lead efforts to enhance these portals to support the Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program, thereby bringing timely and efficient acquisition of commercial medical products and services for veterans.
The future-forward combination of FAS and TSS is a bold first step on the path to innovation renewal. Coalition members stand ready to work with the newly structured FAS to identify and adopt commercial best practices and innovative procurement approaches that deliver best value products, services and solutions to customer agencies and the American people.
The future is now.
