Airbnb is transforming how travelers find places to stay. Now, Seattle venture capitalist Greg Gottesman wants to bring that same concept to pet care with A Place for Rover.
Gottesman and his team of nine developers and designers took home the top prize at Seattle Startup Weekend, the 54-hour coding marathon in which teams compete to build new online services.
Like Airbnb, A Place for Rover serves as an online matchmaking service connecting pet owners in need of pet care with individuals who might want to take care of a canine companion for a few days. It is free to list on A Place for Rover, with the company taking a 10 percent cut when a successful booking is made through the site.
Here's a closer look at how it works from Gottesman's pitch Sunday night:
Gottesman tells GeekWire that he's not planning to quit his day job at Madrona Venture Group, but he's hopeful that some of the team members will be able to push the idea forward.
"I will try to lead an effort to see that this happens because I think it is a great idea," said Gottesman, who pitched the concept Friday night and spent the majority of the weekended building the service with his team.
A Place for Rover ( not to be confused with Seattle's A Place for Mom) represents a big opportunity. As Gottesman notes in his presentation, 39 percent of U.S. households own a dog, with Americans on average spending $274 on kennel boarding each year.
This isn't Gottesman's first Startup Weekend. In fact, at last month's event, Gottesman led efforts for Shubz.tv, an online video chat service that came in second place.
I served as a judge for tonight's event, along with RealNetworks Chairman Rob Glaser, Madrona Venture Group's Matt McIlwain, Cheezburger Network's Scott Porad, Ignition Partners' Michelle Goldberg and Google's Jonathan Sposato. (Editor's note: Sposato is an investor in GeekWire).
Here are the other winners:
Second Place: Forms for Hire (Hosted solution for HR documents and forms).
Third Place: Ride My Design (Customizable designs for snowboards and skis).
Honorable Mention: Student Navigator (An online community for high-school students developed by Eastlake High School juniors Will Mittenthal and Cole Calhoun).
Change the World Winner: Heart Mob (Flash mobs for community volunteer events).
Most Disruptive: Shakeup Call (A mobile alert service to wake up friends).

Goods, services and facilities
You have the right to be free from discrimination when you receive goods or services, or use facilities. For example, this right applies to:
- stores, restaurants and bars
- hospitals and health services
- schools, universities and colleges
- public places, amenities and utilities such as recreation centres, public washrooms, malls and parks
- services and programs provided by municipal and provincial governments, including social assistance and benefits, and public transit
- services provided by insurance companies
- classified advertisement space in a newspaper.
Relevant policies and guides:
October 2001 - In October 1999, the Ontario Human Rights Commission released a Discussion Paper for public consultation entitled Human Rights Issues in Insurance. This Consultation Report summarizes comments and viewpoints that were communicated to the Commission. The Report also examines possible directions to ensure human rights issues in insurance continue to receive attention in the future. A summary of relevant Code sections and selected case law is included in the appendices.
Sexual harassment and your education (fact sheet)
As a student, you have the right to an education where you are not sexually harassed. This includes primary, secondary and post-secondary education, and school activities such as sports, arts and cultural activities, field trips and tutoring.
OHRC Insurance consultation cover letter
October 14, 1999 - Insurance practices routinely make distinctions based on, among other things, gender, age, marital status and disability. While many of these distinctions are based on valid business practices, others raise questions and concerns. These concerns relate to the existence of non-discriminatory alternatives to current practices and about respect for human rights.
MGCS change of sex designation consultation letter
August 22, 2014 - Dear Minister, Please find attached the Ontario Human Rights Commission's (OHRC) submission in response to Ministry of Government and Consumer Services' consultation regarding change of sex designation on a birth registration of a minor.

Eliminating discrimination to advance the human rights of women and transgender people
From: OHRC policy position on sexualized and gender-specific dress codes
March 8, 2016 - Through its public education, policy development, outreach and litigation functions, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) continues to work with community partners to challenge gender inequality and promote and advance the human rights of women and trans people in Ontario. Here is some of the work the OHRC has done in the past year:
Letter to MCSCS regarding data on the use of segregation
June 15, 2016 - Dear Minister Orazietti, Congratulations on your appointment as Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) is looking forward to working closely with you, especially as you continue to review the use of segregation within provincial jails, as well as the treatment of immigration detainees held in provincial custody.
Letter to Mayor of Kenora re: Indigenous reconciliation
March 30, 2017 - Dear Mayor Canfield, thank you for taking the time to meet with us on February 15 in Kenora. As you know, we met with various members of the local Indigenous community at the Ne-Chee Friendship Centre, visited the Kenora Jail and met with Treaty 3 Grand Chief Francis Kavanaugh. During these visits we heard about challenges faced by Indigenous people related to education, child welfare, policing, corrections, and housing.
Under suspicion: Issues raised by Indigenous peoples
Racial profiling is an insidious and particularly damaging type of racial discrimination that relates to notions of safety and security. Racial profiling violates people's rights under the Ontario Human Rights Code (Code). People from many different communities experience racial profiling. It is often directed at First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other Indigenous peoples, as well as people in racialized communities. It is often influenced by the distinctly negative stereotypes that people in these communities face.
Interrupted childhoods: Over-representation of Indigenous and Black children in Ontario child welfare
When child welfare authorities remove children from their caregivers because of concerns about abuse or neglect, it can be traumatic and tragic for everyone involved – children, their families and even their communities. Being admitted into care comes with far-reaching consequences that can have a negative impact on children's future ability to thrive. It is an unfortunate reality that some children need to be placed in care to keep them safe. But too often, for First Nations, Métis, Inuit, Black and other racialized families, being involved with the child welfare system and having a child removed is fraught with concerns that the system is not meeting their or their children's needs, is harmful, and may be discriminatory.

PrivateAviation necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 365 diseños de 73 diseñadores freelance.
From On-Demand Charter to Jet Management and Outright Ownership, RYL will continue to revolutionize the private-aviation industry by reinforcing strategies intended to ensure lifelong customer loyalty by providing our distinguished clientele with uncompromised service and value.
Target demographic of private jet users:
Average Age: 41
Male / Female %: 70/30
Average HHI: $5,331,790.00
Target demographic of RYL:
The top sector of private-aviation users, i.e.: billionaires and royalty.
RYL caters to individuals that are considered 'new money' and 'old money', therefore the design needs to reflect that. There needs to be ambiguity in the design, similar to the way Jaguar is branded-- it is unclear whether Jaguar is targeting new or old money.
The logo design needs to successfully capture RYL's attitude, as well as values, personality, and provide an accurate portrayal of the experience associated with our brand.
-RYL's values: transparent, information rich, engaged, involved in the process, trustworthy, responsive, warm, dependable, consistent, honorable
-RYL's personality: warm, detail-oriented, respectful, courteous, responsible, stable, sophisticated, elegant, value-driven, distinguished
-The RYL experience: well executed, satisfying, safe, sense of community, privileged
We are looking for an elegant and classic logo. Our website is being designed with a black background, so something to keep in mind while designing the logo. Moreover, the color scheme will be black, white, and grey, with a blue accent color that will play with lighting and shadowing. The color scheme was derived from the Casino Royale jpg attached.
RYL stands for Royal without the vowels. It speaks to the level of service we provide our clients.
We're interested in seeing a logo with an icon (ideas: crown or wings). Thus far, the logo concepts I've seen with an aircraft have been rather tacky, so I might be better to stay away from that concept.
Attached are sample logos, which depict the overall tone of RYL.
The tag line is: a private-aviation & lifestyle co.
I would like that somewhere on the logo, as well.
PLEASE feel welcome to contact me if you need more information. I'm more than happy to clarify anything.

Tg4424 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 252 diseños de 85 diseñadores freelance.
Nularis (pronounced Noo-lah-ris)
Nularis is developing the next generation of LED lights and other renewable energy technology. LED lights are the wave of the future. We are a green tech company, and we want our logo to have a "lasting" and "established" but also modern look that can stand side by side against any major light and energy corporation logo in the US.
Everyone who uses light bulbs, home consumers as well as major corporations.
We have three main categories of customers, the first are businesspeople who are mostly focused on saving money for their corporations, the second are people who want to help fight global climate change, and the third are people who both want to be green and save money.
Must look corporate, not too "trendy," we do NOT want to incorporate anything like a light bulb or leaf or tree, etc, because the company may expand its business soon to be more than LED lighting.
The logo font should be easy to read from a small distance and easily printed in all black and/or all white as well as full color (we will print full color on boxes as well as print monochromatic directly on light bulbs themselves).
The logo color could be green to imply "green tech" but other than that no cliches please.
The logo could also reflect a "light" image through indirect means, such as gradation of color with the base of the letters darker green color and the top lighter green color.
Could also have a small horizontal line over the "u" of Nularis to show it is pronounced Noo-lah-ris.

The Girl Who Lived Twice: A Lisbeth Salander novel, continuing Stieg Larsson's Millennium Series (Paperback)

The sixth Lisbeth Salander story in the Millennium Series--the crime-fiction phenomenon that has sold more than 90 million copies worldwide.
Lisbeth Salander--the fierce, unstoppable girl with the dragon tattoo--has disappeared. She's sold her apartment in Stockholm. She's gone silent electronically. She's told no one where she is.
Mikael Blomkvist is trying to reach Lisbeth. He needs her help unraveling the identity of a man who died with Blomkvist's phone number in his pocket--a man who does not exist in any official records and whose garbled last words hinted at knowledge that would be dangerous to people in the highest echelons of government and industry.
Once again, Salander and Blomkvist will come to each other's aid, moving in tandem toward the truths they each seek. In the end, it will be Blomkvist--in a moment of unimaginable self-sacrifice--who will make it possible for Lisbeth to face the most important battle of her life, against her twin sister Camilla, and, finally, to put her past to rest.
About the Author
DAVID LAGERCRANTZ is an acclaimed Swedish author and journalist. In 2015 The Girl in the Spider's Web, his continuation of Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, became a worldwide best seller, and it was announced that Lagercrantz would write two further novels in the series.

He is the coauthor of numerous biographies (including the internationally best-selling memoir I Am Zlatan Ibrahimović) and the acclaimed novel Fall of Man in Wilmslow, on the death and life of Alan Turing.
Praise For…
"A murder mystery inside an espionage conspiracy wrapped in an action thriller—a unique concoction that should leave Salander's legion of followers clamoring for more." –The Wall Street Journal
"A quest for revenge and atonement that plumbs the depths of Russian troll factories and scales the heights of Mount Everest." –TIME

The 37 footer that redefines family "cruiser-racer"
The J/37c was originally conceived and designed to compete under any handicap rule that was popular in the 1980's and 1990's. This model fits well into several offshore classics, like The Bermuda Race. Since then the J/37c has enjoyed success racing under the PHRF handicap. Several owners have also converted their J/37c's for cruising chartering, too.
Deck- Deck layout for the boat is simple yet efficient with a small cabin house and a large single level racing cockpit with mainsheet traveler that separates the helmsman from the crew. Steering is by wheel attached to a balanced rudder supported by Harken roller bearings.
Interior- The layout of the interior is extremely comfortable and functional with a V-berth, walk-thru head forward, proper settee berths in the main salon aft of a centralized galley. The 28hp diesel engine is located just under the companionway ladder with quarterberths to both port and starboard.
Rig- The J/37c has a double spreader masthead aluminum rig with a high aspect mainsail and overlapping headsails. Running rigging is Navtec rod with open body Navtec turnbuckles. The spar package was built by Hall Spars of Bristol, RI.
Introduced: 1987 Built to: Hull #52* Last Model Year: 1991
Combined Hull #s with J/37 model.

Alright, so we're a day late, but a dollar short? I think not. Because if all indications are correct, I'm about to pound out a fairly monstrous article to close out this extended Handheld Gaming Week.
My first two articles, if you haven't read them, were very casual in nature – rather than attempt in-depth dissections of the past and present states of the portable gaming industry, I decided to merely recall my personal experiences with each. Now, though, I plan to take the groundwork I've laid with those two blurbs and leverage into a fairly even look at the upcoming next-generation handhelds from the two big players, Nintendo and Sony.
So, in other words, today I'm here to talk about Sony's Next-Generation Portable. Buckle in, gents and ladies.
The PSP2 – Ah, the Next-Generation Portable
So I gave Sony first in line today. FAVORITISM?! I don't know. Not really, at least when it comes to handhelds. I owned a PSP-2000 for a time. I was rather fond of the device, but truth be told, I barely played the thing. We went over this in my previous article, but the only PSP game I ever finished was Crisis Core, which was the game I bought the system for. But my own experiences aside, the PSP may have occasionally struggled in the realm of software support, and it occasionally lost its way – as evidenced by ventures such as the PSPGo – but one thing must be said: it was the first handheld to edge out a share of a market long-dominated by Nintendo and its many GameBoys. And that, alone, is a great feat.
Six years later, its successor is revealed to the world in the form of "NGP," which you all should know, acronyms Next-Generation Portable – Sony's working name for the device. It's big, it's beautiful, and it looks like it could breathe new life into Sony's handheld brand – if they do things right.
Uncharted, on the Tiny Screen?
Let's start by discussing something we can all relate to: Uncharted. There's an Uncharted game (now simply called "Uncharted" as a working title) oming to the NGP. You can watch a demo for it right here:
Looks beautiful, doesn't it? Of course we can't get the full effect by looking at a video of the screen, but even still, it's easy to conclude that this thing can produce graphics nearly on-par with PS3 quality.
On first glance, the touch-screen controls don't look terribly appealing. Sliding my grubby finger across the screen where all the action is taking place seems bothersome. It also seems messy; those screens had better be resilient. But, I suppose we've had to put up with the same shit on Nintendo DS for some time. And also, I'll admit it looked less offensive in some areas than others – being able to tap the ledge you want Drake to grab while climbing actually seems fairly intuitive.
Oh yeah, and there's gyroscope controls as well. Actually, it's the same sixaxis technology that's in every PS3 controller, but never utilized. If you recall, the original Uncharted – which was released fairly early in the PS3's life – utilized sixaxis controls for mechanics like bomb-tossing and tightrope balancing. Both were pretty awful, and sixaxis support was promptly canned for Uncharted 2. But hey, as unappealing as I'm making it sound, remember: gyro controls just might work better on a portable system, where the screen is right in between your hands. The vine-swinging segment made it look super-clunky, but I have to admit, it looked pretty slick for the sniper sequence.
Rear trackpads? Well, if nothing else, they're an interesting alternative to a second screen. I'm really not sure how I feel about rubbing my fingers back and forth just to shimmy up a vine, though. Of all the NGPs features, it's actually what intrigues me the least – but, I've only seen them on display in the above demo, so perhaps my mind will be changed in time.
And it's not – no, it's not – 3D enabled. Can you believe it? Yeah, it seems a little fishy to me as well. Sony's pushing 3D hard for both the PS3 and their line of Bravia TVs – I mean, shit, did you catch any of their presentation at CES this year? I'd applaud them for not pushing the gimmick for NGP just yet, but mark my words: there will be a 3D-enabled NGP within a year after its initial release.
Tangent aside, I think at this point we can agree: The NGP looks slick. It's clearly an amazing piece of technology, packing a punch never seen before in a handheld device. It has a revamped menu system, forgoing the Xcross Media Bar for a new, touch-based layout. It has a screen that's four times the resolution of the original PSP. It has front and back cameras, it has dual-analog sticks (AT LAST) it even has 3G connectivity. Yeah, that's right. It's an impressive device. But that's not enough to tell the whole story.
So Yeah, What's Sony's Plan for This Thing?
Good question. Here's a key difference between Nintendo and Sony when it comes to this next-gen handheld race: Nintendo has success they can sit upon, the PSP needs to change its game up if S to stay relevant. And, it seems like Sony is trying to do just that – a certain Eurogamer article reveals what Sony's overarching strategy for NGP might be.
In the article, they quote an anonymous source who reportedly attended a presentation for the NGP that Sony hosted at their headquarters in London. According to their source, "NGP is a developer's dream – Sony is finally doing the things developers have been crying out for for years."
Generous words, to be sure. Reportedly, the NGPs dev kits are far easier to utilize than the PS3s. "A PS3 dev station can take three hours to set-up. This looks like it will take under 20 mins," quoth the nameless Eurogamer source. "It just makes everything easier – they've really thought about it this time."
Interesting. Glad to see Sony got that monkey off of its back. But here's the big one: according to the source, the kits are optimized to allow for cross-platform development between NGP and PS3.
"Any shaders for PS3 stuff will just work," said Eurogamer's source. "We won't have to rewrite. What would have taken two-to-three months before looks like it could take just one-to-two weeks now. The architecture is obviously different, but it's the same development environment."
Cross-platform development, eh? What sort of fruits could that yield? Well, according to the source, Sony envisions "some kind of interactivity between the two versions with NGP-only extras."
Hm. Doesn't that sound familiar?
Well, it does to me. Do you remember the days of GBA-to-GameCube connectivity? You bought an overpriced cable from Nintendo, plugged your GBA into your 'Cube, and either used it as a controller, unlocked goodies, or activated some type of meta-game feature. (Like the Tingle thing in Wind Waker! Where'd he'd like give hints and drop bombs and stuff.) If you remember, games like The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures required GBAs as controllers, and would utilize both screens during gameplay. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles did the same thing. It was a neat concept, but it wasn't right for its time – to properly play such games, you needed at least two players in the same room with GameBoys and cables. And to get the most out of them, you needed four. A steep price of admission.
But in this day-and-age of internet connectivity, that sort of console-to-handheld compatibility could potentially take off, and make a sound argument for the necessity of an NGP. Imagine playing Dead Space 3 with the NGP as your controller – Isaac's menu screen, text logs, and video logs could all occupy the screen of the NGP, potentially making for an extremely refined and intuitive heads-up display. Imagine picking up an audio log in BioShock Infinite, then listening to it through headphones plugged into your NGP. Imagine selecting and assigning plasmids by simply tapping your NGPs screen. There's a lot of possibilities there, and I hope Sony sees that.
But there's so much more that could be done with PS3-to-NGP connectivity – imagine PSN games such as the recent HD Prince of Persia titles, playable either on your NGP or PS3. This could easily hold true for all PSN games – have DeathSpank both at home, and on the go. With synchronized trophies, since the NGP is confirmed to have trophy support. And cloud saving as well, to easily carry saves across both platforms.
PS3 games could ship with NGP-only extras on the discs, accessible by connecting the two systems. For example, you could access a special NGP game mode, or some demos, or a perhaps a portion of the game's online feature suite, or hell – maybe the whole damn game, just so you can have it on-the-go as well.
"But hold on," you say. "This sounds like it could cheapen the NGP software brand name." Well, yes. But that's assuming Sony even plans to focus on an NGP software brand name, and I don't think they're going to. NGP games will be sold in stores, but the physical medium will be flash cartridges. That's right, no more UMDs. In essence, Sony is doing something rather devious with the NGP: they're continuing their push towards an all-digital format, but they're selling it as a physical medium. According to the Eurogamer source, all developers at Sony's london event were told that "All games at launch available on flash would also be on PSN."
See, Ethos? You should have just waited for this!
Also, for the sake of pure speculation, let's cross our fingers and hope that when the NGP is released, Sony will finally give fans what they've been clamoring for, and start releasing PS2 classics over PSN. 3DS will have a virtual console store for GBA games, and Sony needs to follow suit. All I know is that Final Fantasy X on a portable sounds pretty damn sweet. And so does Xenosaga. And Dragon Quest VIII. And lots of other I could surely come up with.
Much of this is yet to be seen, I know, but with the assumed focus on PS3-to-NGP compatibility, it seems that Sony is aiming the handheld squarely at their own userbase of PS3 owners. Which, if you think about it, isn't a bad strategy. It's kinda taking a page from Nintendo's book in a way, and as we've already established it could work. If Sony sees this to its potential, and offers real rewards and useful features to PS3 owners who adopt an NGP, they could see great success. However, they do have….
Some Potential Obstacles to Overcome
Yeah, that. There are some things we don't know about the NGP yet; some questions that need answering.
1. The Price Point – Yeah, this is honestly the biggest one. The 3DS costs $250. The NGP needs to stay around the $300 range, but I'm going to guess it'll end up being around $350. For Sony's sake, it better not cost any more.
2. Backwards Compatibility – it's a bigger deal on handhelds, because while it's practical enough to have two consoles plugged in, it makes no sense to carry around two portables. It's safe enough to assume that any games released over PSN will be transferable, but what about all those god-damned UMD exclusives? Apparently Sony told Gigazine (via Adriansaang) that they're working with third-party developers to bring more UMD games to the PSN store. They went on to say that they also plan to re-release PSP games on the NGP's card-based format. However, there has been no further elaboration on the subject.
3. 3G Connectivity: Paid or Included? – it really needs to be included. Or, at the very least, make it part of a PSN+ subscription. Like a $10 addendum to the current PSN+ fee. My point is, don't charge gamers an extra $30 per month for 3G connectivity. That would suck.
4. Cloud Saving – It's gotta have cloud saving. If Sony really wants to market this thing as the PS3 owner's companion, then Ethan's gotta be able to carry his DeathSpank save from PS3 to NGP seamlessly. Sony hasn't denied the prospect of cloud saving, but they haven't confirmed it either. I'm 95% certain it will be included. If its not, it will have a decidedly negative effect on my desire to purchase the system.
I think the NGP could be a fantastic handheld. If they make it a valuable and useful device to a PS3 owner, offered at a reasonable price, then I'll buy one. Truth be told, I'll probably wait for the inevitable second iteration – which I predict will feature 3D. I just hope they don't split the physical and downloadable games apart; I hope to be able to play all PSN games on the NGP, and I hope it has cloud saves. I hope all games released on flashcards see release over PSN. If they don't establish a brand consistency between the two machines, Sony's presence in the handheld market risks becoming irrelevant. They have an opportunity here to extend the reach of the PlayStation brand in some fantastic ways. Let's see if they can capitalize on it.

SEMI Sees 21% Increase in Chip Equipment Spending for 2014
Mid-year Forecast for Chip Equipment Industry Shows Improving Outlook
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — July 8, 2013 — SEMI forecasts semiconductor equipment sales will reach $43.98 billion in 2014, a 21 percent increase over estimated 2013 equipment spending, according to the mid-year edition of the SEMI Capital Equipment Forecast, released here today at the annual SEMICON West exposition.
Following two years of conservative capital investments by major chip manufacturers, semiconductor equipment spending is forecast to grow to $43.98 billion in 2014, up from $36.29 billion projected this year. Key drivers for equipment spending are significant NAND Flash fab investments by Samsung in China and Toshiba/Sandisk in Japan, and investments by Intel, including its fabs in Ireland. Most major regions of the world will see significant equipment spending increases. Front-end wafer processing equipment will grow 24 percent in 2014 to $35.59 billion, up from $28.70 billion in 2013. Test equipment and assembly and packaging equipment will also experience growth next year, rising to $3.18 billion (+6 percent) and $2.9 billion (+14 percent), respectively. The forecast indicates that next year will be the second largest spending year ever, surpassed only by $47.7 billion spent in 2000.
"Continued strong demand by consumers for smart phones and tablet computers is driving chip manufacturers to expand capacity for memory, logic and wireless devices," said Denny McGuirk, president and CEO of SEMI. "To meet the pent-up demand for capacity, particularly for leading-edge devices, we expect capital spending to increase throughout the remainder of this year and continue through 2014 — to post one of the highest rates of global investment for semiconductor manufacturing ever."
Growth is forecasted in China (82 percent), Europe (79 percent), South Korea (31 percent), Japan (21 percent), North America (9 percent), and Taiwan (2 percent). Taiwan will continue to be the world's largest spender with $10.62 billion estimated for 2014, followed by North America at $8.75 billion and Korea with $8.74 billion. The following results are given in terms of market size in billions of U.S. dollars and percentage growth over the prior year:

How to choose a jigsaw puzzle: Size isn't everything
Choosing a jigsaw puzzle can prove to be a difficult task, especially if you intend to use it as a gift. There are some things that you should think about before doing it that can make your job a lot easier. Today, we will discuss the number of pieces, which is probably one of the most important features of today's puzzle. If we look at the jigsaw puzzle market, we can identify a certain trend that is also visible in the Western society at large. Breaking records and expanding our own limits has become socially desirable, and this is easy to observe when it comes to jigsaw puzzles. If you take a look at the biggest puzzle companies, you will see that almost every one of them tries to break the world record for the biggest jigsaw puzzle. And if they don't, they certainly don't fall too far behind. Puzzles with thousands of pieces have become the rule, and you have to do some research if you're trying to find a puzzle with less than 100 pieces that's not for toddlers. Obviously, a huge puzzle is a huge challenge and can mean lots of fun for the right person. But not everybody likes them. A huge puzzle should only be bought by or for a patient and methodical person. Otherwise, it will go to waste. There are small puzzles that can be just as entertaining, and there's nothing wrong with them. But if you easily lose your patience or interest, lack the time or concentration, a 5000 pieces jigsaw box might never even be opened, no matter what's inside.

Boat safety plans come from 10-year-old's death
SPRINGFIELD -- After a Bartlett man's guilty plea in the case of her 10-year-old nephew's boating death, state Sen. Julie Morrison is pushing several safety proposals meant to prevent similar accidents in the future.
The Deerfield Democrat was the aunt of Anthony "Tony" Borcia of Libertyville, who was killed last year when he was riding on a tube towed by a pontoon boat and was hit by another motorboat.
The driver that hit Borcia, David Hatyina of Bartlett, pleaded guilty Tuesday of operating the boat with drugs and alcohol in his system.
One of Morrison's plans would revoke for three months the driver's license of someone who's twice convicted of piloting a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
"I'm trying to deter reckless behavior," she said.
Now, the law strips offenders of their boating abilities after two convictions. But Morrison's legislation would take away car-driving privileges, too.
"Nobody wants to lose their driver's license," she said.
Her other proposal would require a boat pulling someone behind it to display a red or orange flag to alert other boaters that they're towing someone.
Both of Morrison's proposals are in the preliminary stages to try to win approval at the state Capitol. She said she hopes to have hearings on both plans in the coming weeks.

in reply to Re: Win32::Process vs Win32::Job vs ????
in thread Win32::Process vs Win32::Job vs ????
Thanks for the suggestion, but I moved from running "start /min ..." in a system call to Win32::Process so I could kill the process via its process id later in the same script, and that all works fine. My current "minimize" workaround (which I don't particularly like) is to sleep x number of seconds after launching the first program via Win32::Process to give the program time to initialize and start running (takes a little while), before starting the second program. This allows the second program to be in the foreground hiding the first program, which is why I wanted to run the first program minimized. It's not a perfect solution, but it does what I need for now. I agree it's a shame Win32::Process does not accept window attributes.

VIDEO: Administrator McCarthy Highlights Clean Air Efforts During Asthma Awareness Month / Agency Honors Community-Focused Asthma Programs
Release Date: 05/01/2014
Contact Information: firstname.lastname@example.com, 202-564-4355
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is recognizing the start of Asthma Awareness Month and highlighting the agency's efforts to improve air quality, protect public health, and take action to address climate change.
"One in ten kids in America today suffers from asthma, which disproportionately impacts communities of color and low-income families," said U.S. EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. "Today, we're dealing with new threats like climate change that can worsen the problem. For these reasons and more, taking commonsense climate action is critical if we are serious about protecting public health."
EPA promotes scientific understanding of environmental asthma triggers and management through research, education and community-focused outreach. As part of EPA's ongoing effort to increase public awareness of asthma and partner with communities across the nation, the agency is also honoring three exceptional programs for improving the lives of people with asthma in underserved communities.
This year's winners are:
Multnomah County Health Department, Portland, OR
Peach State Health Plan, Atlanta, GA
Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA
Since 1990, air quality has improved significantly for ozone and particle pollution, along with lead, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. EPA, state, and local efforts to reduce emissions from cars, trucks, diesel engines, power plants and other industries all have contributed to the progress we've made to date. From 1990 to 2012, concentrations of common pollutants in the outdoor air have dropped by:
Carbon Monoxide – 75%
Ozone – 14%
Lead – 87%
Nitrogen Dioxide – 46%
Sulfur Dioxide – 72%
PM10 (coarse particles) – 39%
In 2010 alone, EPA achieved pollution reductions through the Clean Air Act that prevented more than an estimated 1.7 million asthma attacks.
Additionally, standards for Boilers and certain incinerators will prevent 42,000 asthma attacks per year, and EPA's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards will now help to prevent 130,000 asthma attacks per year.
In March 2014, EPA finalized cleaner fuel and car standards that will yield between $6.7 billion to $19 billion in benefits annually, through reducing health effects such as asthma attacks, premature deaths, heart attacks, and hospital and emergency room visits.
Under the President's Climate Action Plan, EPA is working on a number of fronts to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, vehicles and other sources. Climate change can have a harmful effect on air quality. For example, scientists project that warmer temperatures from a changing climate will increase the frequency of days with unhealthy levels of ground-level ozone, a harmful air pollutant, and a component in smog. Ground-level ozone can damage lung tissue and can reduce lung function and inflame airways. This can increase respiratory symptoms and aggravate asthma or other lung diseases. It is especially harmful to children, older adults, outdoor workers, and those with asthma and other chronic lung diseases.

What is IPATA and why do some airlines prohibit individuals from booking travel for their pets? We explain why this requirement is actually a good one for both pet's and their owners.
Birds are very skilled in hiding signs of illness. Often times when we first notice signs they are not feeling well, they have actually been sick for a few days. In the wild, birds socialize in flocks and are generally prey species. In order to survive, they must act normally so they do not get cast out of the flock and become more susceptible to predators.

The Greatest of All Time, baseball style
What I most love about baseball is that it's the best sport — bar none — to argue. And so was last night's remarkable Game 6 the greatest World Series game ever played? Of course not. ESPN's Jayson Stark (and my old friend) said it might have been. Two two-run comebacks with two strikes – in 9th and 10th innings. A walkoff homer by David Freese. But, come on, this is baseball.
There was Maz's walkoff in Game 7 against the 1960 Yankees, one of the great upsets ever. (The Pirates were outscored 55-27 in the Series.)
There was Carlton Fisk's please-stay-fair home run in Game 6 of the 1975 Red Sox-Reds series.
There was Willie Mays' catch in '54. There was Bill Buckner's miss in '86.
Joe Carter's walkoff. Kirby Puckett's walkoff. Reggie Jackson's three in a row. Johnny Podres and Sandy Amoros finally bringing next year to Brooklyn in 1955's Game 7.
Here's some perspective. In the 1991 Minnesota-Atlanta World Series had five one-run games, three extra-inning games and four games decided in the last at-bat. Because it was Minnesota nice, ruly crowds roamed the streets after the game.
We won't really know if Game 6, which was a terribly played game for much of the night, was really the greatest game until we see Game 7 tonight, until we find out which players become Hall of Famers, until history, or an ESPN retrospective, makes the decision.

Modern search engine optimization (SEO) can help many businesses nowadays by way of making their websites rank high in search engines. The point here is to increase the visibility of your website in the internet. But, here's a question that might lie in your head. What is this modern SEO?
