Sri Lanka was rocked [2] by series of eight blasts on Easter Sunday morning (21 April 2019) in locations including churches and hotels across the country, leaving at least 207 people dead and more than 450 injured.
The six explosions in the coordinated bombings targeted churches packed with worshippers who were attending Easter Sunday services. These include St. Anthony's church [3] at Kochchikade in Colombo, St. Sebastian's Church in Negombo, and Zion Church in the Tamil-dominated city of Batticaloa. At least 67 people died at St Sebastian's church alone.

The eighth blast was a suicide bomb in the Dematagoda district of Colombo which killed three police officers.
Minister @RWijewardene [19] addressing the press just now says action will be taken to stop activity of all extremist groups in the country. Social media temporary banned. 12 hour curfew from 6pm. The Dehiwela n Dematagoda blasts seem to be by those in the ring running from the law.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks. However, reports suggest that they were the work [21]of suicide bombers.

Sri Lanka [37] is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. Sinhalese (74.8 percent) constitute the largest ethnic group in the country, followed by Sri Lankan Tamils (11.2 percent) and Sri Lankan Moors (9.2 percent). In terms of religion, Buddhists (most of the Sinhalese ethnic group) comprise 70 percent of the 22 million population followed by Hindus (13 percent), Muslims (10 percent) and Christians (7 percent).
The country suffered a three-decade-long civil war [38] between government armed forces and separatist Tamil militant group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam [39] (LTTE) which ended in 2009. The bombings have reminded [40] citizens of the attacks of those times [41].
Defence Minister Ruwan Wijewardane vowed [42] to take all necessary action against any extremist group that is operating in the country. He also echoed the response of the New Zealand government after the Christchurch shooting last March:
State Minister/ Defence @RWijewardene [19] urges media not to publicise names of today's attackers. He warned other extremist groups could exploit situation & create tension between communities. "Don't give extremists a voice. Don't help to make them martyrs" #EasterSundayAttacksLK [24]

The other day when I was in Bend, Oregon my wonderful friend Whitney's uncle, Swiss Williamson, took us rock climbing. I didn't take pictures, but the picture above is a free public domain picture that is beautiful and helps you paint a picture. The weather was not prime for outdoor climbing so he took us to the Bend Rock Gym where we had exactly an hour to climb until the gym was closing. During that hour I climbed hard. Climbing every route that I thought I could smash in an hour.
I hadn't been climbing in probably about a year. The last time I had climbed was outdoors in Arkansas. My climbing experiences have consistently looked the same. I go climbing with people who are way more experienced and advanced than I am and I rely on them for direction. I look to them for routes and advice and motivation to get me through.
This day in Bend was different.
I put on my shoes, grabbed my chalk and just jumped on the wall. I didn't ask permission. I didn't see what other people were climbing. I just climbed. I was climbing for myself. I was climbing to feel my own strength. I was climbing to explore my own power and capabilities.
After spending about 30 minutes on climb after climb. Not having climbed in a year or so my arms and hands were spent. But I wanted to try one more route. It was a v1 white tape route on one of the corners before entering a bouldering cave. It looked relatively easy and I thought it would be a great way to end the night. I jumped on the rock. Swiss Williamson and Whitney were watching me from the ground and doing what I love most about the climbing community, being super supportive. I got to about the last three moves and my arms wanted to give out. I began to feel a little panicky because I was pretty far up and what I was holding onto no longer felt comfortable to hold. My hands were sweaty and I began to say two words… "I can't". Swiss and Whit were cheering me on from below, reminding me to breathe, telling me to trust that I could do it, and directing me to change my feet so that my hands and arms wouldn't have to work so hard and could get a little rest. I was so grateful for their words and could hear what they were saying but then those two words just popped right out of my mouth again…
"I can't."
As I said the words I let go of the wall and fell from about 15 feet. Terrified as I hit the floor. My feet hit and then my legs buckled a little and I fell back onto the mat floors. My body was prefect and I was just a little shaken up. The weird thing was, it wasn't the fall that shook me up. It was my lack of trust in the moment. I didn't think I could do it. I didn't know anything except for that I couldn't make the next few moves and that I was going to have to fall. The shocking thing about those two words and this experience was that I don't really live this way. In my day to day experience I will try anything. I will experiment with my life and my business. I will be adventurous and explore things I have never done. I take risks. Fear rarely gets the best of me. So feeling fear and not trusting that I could do something was a very good reminder that I still have lots of areas that I want to explore and take a look at.
Trust is one of them… especially trust in relationships.
I have a hard time trusting others when it comes to intimate relationships. I don't want to sound jaded and it is a real struggle that pops up when I think about things like dating again. I want to give myself some compassion because I know that I have been through a lot in the last few years AND I don't want to walk around the rest of my life not trusting others. I want to learn trust at a new level.
I sat on the thick mat floors pondering the fall I just took and slowly stretched and massaged out my hands and arms and then I decided to try again. I spread the white, dusty powder all over my hands in hopes of preventing sweat and got in position. I took the first moves with ease. Feeling fatigued but strong I made it to the same spot that I had fallen before. Swiss and Whitney were giving me beautiful direction again, helping me see where my feet could give my arms a break. I reworked my feet on the wall. My feet were strong yet my arms felt so tired. I began again to question if I was going to make it. Hearing words about trust and breath below I went for it, missed, and fell. Even though I fell, I felt amazing because I tried.
One of my favorite bits of advice I've received on my trip is…
"People rarely regret what they've tried, they learn from it. While many people DO regret what they never tried."
The trust didn't mean I made it to the end of the route. The trust gave me the ability to go for it anyways, try, see what happens. The trust gave me a feeling of accomplishment. The accomplishment wasn't based on completing the climb or not it was based on putting myself out there, knowing I can always try again, knowing that trust and growth is a process in every area of life…not just rock climbing. Doing things in our lives is not about the end point or the completion of said thing… it is about the adventure getting there. It is about learning and taking beautiful things from every step on the way.
After that day at Bend Rock Gym I became clear that climbing could be the way for me to learn to trust again. I would be on the rock learning how to trust myself at a level I had never explored before, well at least not intentionally. I want to rock-climb more to explore self-trust. In doing so I believe that something will begin to shift in me… because it already has from two falls and one night at a climbing gym.
What helps you build trust in your life? Whether it is self trust? Or trust in others? Or trust in the process?
This exploration feels so new and beautiful to me. I have always known I had challenges around trust and now I want to blow it open, take a look, explore it, investigate it, and open myself up to healing and growth that I can't even imagine possible. I want to walk through this life with the ability to trust myself, others, and life in general. This does not mean blind trust…but when I meet someone I really enjoy I want to get to know them from a loving, trusting place rather than a skeptical and distrusting place.
Same with my relationship with myself. I want to keep trusting that I can travel, make money, and build my business. I want to know that I can trust my instincts and intuition. I want to trust that I can do anything I set my mind too. This is where is starts. The rest will unfold as it will!
I would love to hear your thoughts or stories about trust. Do you struggle with trust too? Please share with me what is coming up! Share below!

UPDATE 10/17/19 5:20 PM – The man who was saved has been admitted to UPMC Altoona for treatment of smoke inhalation.
The fire chief says the fire was accidental and started on the front porch of the house.
ALTOONA, Pa. (WTAJ) — A man was saved from the second floor of a house fire when crews responded to 911 calls made by numerous neighbors.
The fire happened on the 600 block of 1st Avenue around 7:30 a.m. Officials said when the crews first arrived, the whole building was engulfed in flames while one person got out but another was trapped on the second floor.
Members of the crew were able to help the man get out of the second-floor window and get safely to the ground. They say both people were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
They say crews had a tough time putting out the fire with the winds that we had this morning, but they were able to safely extinguish it.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time and officials are investigating.

'Electrophysiology Market Worth Over $9 Billion In 2017' Says Visiongain Report
30 August 2017
Visiongain's new report the Global Electrophysiology Devices Market Forecast 2017-2026: Revenue Forecasts for Monitoring Devices (Including Echocardiography, Diagnostic Catheters, Holter Monitors and Event Monitors) and Treatment Devices (Including Pacemakers, ICDs, Ablation Catheters, CRT-Ds and CRT-Ps) indicates that the global electrophysiology market will see over $9.5bn in revenue in 2017.
The lead analyst of the report said:
"The electrophysiology market is expected to experience considerable growth over the forecast period. The main drivers for the growth include an increasingly ageing population, rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and growing patient awareness of electrophysiology treatments and products available. In patients suffering from regular arrhythmia, several implants have been developed and introduced to keep the heart rhythm in control. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia .The number of patients suffering from Atrial fibrillation in US is approximately 2.5-6.1 million people, according to different sources and is expected to increase further. The risk of Atrial fibrillation increases with the age and high blood pressure. Atrial fibrillation is a moderate arrhythmia, sometimes leads to heart failure. In the US alone, around 750,000 hospitalizations occur due to Atrial fibrillation, contributing to approximately 130,000 deaths every year.
Increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, stroke and arrhythmia will drive the electrophysiology devices market throughout the forecast period. The number of deaths caused due to these diseases is predicted to increase from 17.3 million in 2015 to 21.7 million in 2026."
The 147 page report contains 103 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the electrophysiology market. Visiongain provides revenue forecasts for the period 2017-2026 for the leading diagnostic and treatment device submarkets, namely Electrocardiography, Holter Monitoring Devices, Event Monitors, Diagnostic Catheters and X-ray systems. The report also includes forecasts for Ablation Catheters, Pacemakers, Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs), Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillators (CRT-D), Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Pacemakers (CRT-P) and Implantable Loop Recorders.
The 147 page report offers market forecasts and analysis for 11 leading national markets and the rest of the world market. In addition, the report contains a dedicated leading companies' chapter covering more than 6 companies leading the field in electrophysiology devices.
The Global Electrophysiology Devices Market Forecast 2017-2026: Revenue Forecasts for Monitoring Devices (Including Echocardiography, Diagnostic Catheters, Holter Monitors and Event Monitors) and Treatment Devices (Including Pacemakers, ICDs, Ablation Catheters, CRT-Ds and CRT-Ps) report will be of value to anyone who wants to better understand the electrophysiology devices market and its various segments.

Analyzing Big Data with Benford's Law: A Lesson for the Classroom
Lanham, Susan W.
American Journal of Business Education, v12 n2 p33-42 2019
Most literature related to Benford's Law discusses what the law can be used for and how it works but fails to address effective methods and procedures for teaching the law to students. This article examines existing information resources to determine the most effective methods and procedures used to explain this Law to those who have no experience with it. A contribution to knowledge is made by providing step by step instructional approaches for teaching Benford's Law to students that are tied to existing literature. Benford's Law is a fascinating lesson for students who have been exposed to statistical and mathematical concepts for as long as they can remember yet know nothing of the law's existence. This lesson is suitable for any introductory statistics or mathematics course where students are learning about probability. The Law has a practical application in the field of business and can also be taught as part of a fraud examination, data analytics, or auditing course.

So. Much. Potential...
Death is a natural part of a show's life. Characters both big and small have to be killed every now and again to make way for new storylines and fresh characters, but also to create a sense of realism, threat and excitement.
Unfortunately, not all shows manage to kill off characters at the right time. Whilst many shows have made a fine art out of getting rid of characters just when they need to go (Game of Thrones, maybe, and Doctor Who), there are other critically acclaimed shows that haven't quite mastered killing people off.
Most of the shows on this list are usually very good at this, but have messed up with some decisions. Others made a habit of killing off minor characters with infinite untapped potential, and others seem to have just rid of fan favourites in a cheap and unnecessary bid to shock and appal their audiences. Some get rid of the characters very well, but make the move too early and lessen the moment's impact.
Whatever the case, here are 11 TV show characters whose deaths, whether inevitable or inconceivable, came far too early. MAJOR SPOILERS follow.

"The Bells," Performance, and the Politics of Poetry
- The Edgar Allan Poe Review

- Purchase/rental options available:
The prevalence of ontological and thematic approaches to Poe's poetry has made understanding and appreciation of its highly innovative procedures very difficult. The poetry operates primarily through strong phonosemantic protocols, however, and as such its interpretation ought to be primarily performative—as one insists that interpreting a piece of music means executing a deliberated performance. "The Bells" provides an exemplary case of how Poe organizes his poetry as a challenge to reader performance. The poem presents a set of performance options whose function is to require the reader to make a declarative presentation of what s/he understands the poem to mean—that is, how s/he understands the poem's performative options should be executed. The particular performance—various options are on offer—license an array of particular interpretations that answer exactly to the particular character of the poetic work.

No victim left behind: Melania Trump defends LeBron James after President Trump's appalling "dumb" tweet
Melania Trump presented a different viewpoint on James and said that the basketball star is doing "good things on behalf of our next generation."
First Lady Melania Trump came to basketball star LeBron James defense just hours after President Donald Trump insulted the sports legend by questioning his intelligence and calling him "dumb."
Melania Trump, through her spokesperson, Stephanie Grisham, presented a different viewpoint on James, who opened a new public school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, and said that the basketball star is doing "good things on behalf of our next generation." She even added that she would like to stop by and see the school.
"It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation. Just as she always has, the First Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today," Grisham said on behalf of Melania Trump on Saturday afternoon, according to HuffPost.
Her statement came shortly after President Trump insulted CNN host Don Lemon and James over his appearance on the TV network.
"Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do," Trump tweeted. The Republican tweeted the remark after watching an interview between James and CNN host Don Lemon on Friday, which originally aired on Monday.
Trump ended his tweet with: "I like Mike!" in an apparent reference to the ongoing debate about who is the greatest National Basketball Association (NBA) player of all times, LeBron James or Michael Jordan. James, during the CNN interview, had discussed various topics, including politics and accused Trump of enabling racists and using sports to divide the country.
The First Lady's spokesperson, however, explained her opposing view from her husband by pointing to her anti-bullying initiative called Be Best.
Melania Trump, at a launch event in May, had said that through her initiative she aimed to "shine a spotlight on the people, organizations, and programs across the country that are helping children overcome the many issues they are facing as they grow up," which describes the basketball star and his initiative well.
"[The first lady's] platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals, and schools, and she would be open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron," Grisham's statement added.

I have noticed that several ops either just leave the remote transceiver and amplifier on when they are finished. PLEASE TURN OFF THE AMP BUTTON FIRST, THEN TURN OFF THE RADIO PWR BUTTON. When the amp is ON the bar on the right side of the radio panel (under the KMTronic switch) is highlighted. Please be sure to turn this off before turning off the radio. There have been several occasions where I have come into the shack only to find the amp still running with the radio off and no ops on the remote. Not good for the long term life of the amp. If you do not understand this please watch the YouTube again to see where the amp is turned on and off. Thanks for your cooperation on this very important issue. Otherwise, enjoy! 73, Ed.
Month: November 2018
Remote is back on line and fully operational
Thanks to all our users for your patience. I had several issues but I believe they are all resolved now. The K8EA remote should be operational on 80-10 meters, barefoot or with the 600w amplifier, 80/40 dipole or TA53 yagi and rotor. All users of this remote should read the operating info on this website and PLEASE watch the YouTube video (four minutes) before operating the remote. The system is pretty much fool proof from the users perspective, however improper use could put the amp in default requiring a reset, for example. Please turn off the amp and the radio when you are finished unless there is someone else in the queue. Enjoy. 73, Ed
Lightning and new tuner updates
First, it looks like a huge lightning and thunderstorm is moving in this afternoon. I usually keep lightningmaps.org up on my browser. Check it out. I will disconnect antennas and disable the remote whenever there is a threat of ground to earth lightning, normal precaution for any ham station. Also, the repaired MFJ autotuner should be here today. I will try my best to get it back on line as soon as I have some time. That will allow me to put the amplifier back on line. Thanks for your patience. 73, Ed.
Some frequencies blocked until return of the MFJ tuner
The internal tuner in the Icom 7300 has its limitations. The big MFJ tuner can tune all HF bands to a 1.2:1 or better. So until I get that piece of equipment back on line I have blocked the 3700-4000 portion of 80 meters. I checked and 40 meters (and above on the yagi), those frequencies are all tunable. Eighty meters is a stretch for just the Icom. Hopefully I'll have the MFJ998 back on line by this weekend. Thanks for your patience and a special thanks to 16 year old W4IPC/Connor for providing this feedback. This website is the best mode to communicate with me using the CONTACT tab.
Please communicate with me via K8EA.com, including approvals for access
Please use the CONTACTS tab here on this website to 1) ask for approval to use the remote (only requests made through the website will be approved and you must have a license on file with RemoteHams), and 2) to communicate any comments or issues directly to me. I don't always see your comments on the chat bar but I always see messages sent to me through k8ea.com. They come directly to my email inbox. 73, Ed
Brief service interruptions
A couple things going on here that will affect service on the remote. First, as noted earlier the MFJ autotuner has been shipped off for repair. The autotuner should be back and on line in a week. In the meantime full functionality of the remote is available with the exception of the amplifier. We cannot run the amplifier without the high power autotuner for obvious reasons. Second, I am upgrading internet speed. We will soon have a LAN direct connection to the server which should have a noticeable effect on latency–the remote should "run" at faster internet speeds. Please be patient with us as we do some repairs and upgrades. In the meantime, for most of the time the remote will be up and running with 100 watts, rotor, 80/40, and 20-10 yagi available.
Amp temporarily off line
The brand new MFJ 998 Intellituner failed yesterday (less than 60 days new). So I need to take the amp off line for a short period of time since I can't run the amp without the tuner. Fortunately the nice folks at MFJ have promised to turn it around quickly. Hopefully by this time next week we'll be fully operational at 600w output. Apologies to all of our fine users. In the meantime the station is otherwise operational: beam, 80/40, rotor–just limited to barefoot operations. Please continue to regularly engage the TUNE button as it will now default to the Icom 7300 built in autotuner.

Walking Inside Out – Psychogeography Book Talk
Mon, 28 Sep 2015 02:10:00 BST
Tina Richardson's new edited volume is the first text that attempts to merge the work of literary and artist practitioners with academics to critically explore the state of psychogeography today.
The collection explores contemporary psychogeographical practices, shows how a critical form of walking can highlight easily overlooked urban phenomenon, and examines the impact that everyday life in the city has on the individual.
It is also a celebration of urban walking and in her talk Tina will be discussing its value in the complex space of the 21st century city. This book talk also includes readings from two of the contributing authors, Alexander John Bridger and Phil Wood.
The event takes place on Friday 9 October at 4.15pm to 6.15pm in the Harold Wilson Building, ground floor, room 3.

operational management
Your company terminated an employee for stealing a ladder. The employee filed a grievance with the union. The union argues that the employee had verbal permission from the temporary supervisor while the regular supervisor was away from the office. The employee said he had been allowed to do this previously. The union further argues that the issue with the ladder was not the real reason; the real reason was the supervisor%u2019s friend wanted the job. The company denies the alleged motive and states that no one is allowed to take company equipment from the property. It further states that the contract stipulates that the penalty for theft is immediate termination. The two parties are not going to be able to resolve the case. A third-party intervention will be needed. To decide whether it is worth the trouble, your boss asks how much labor arbitration will cost. (Note: To answer these questions, you need to use %u201C labor%u201D vs. %u201Cemployment%u201D arbitrator.)
Based on the most currently reported data by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org ) and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (www.fmcs.gov) , you should factor all but one of the following into your budget. Which one is incorrect?
- 50% of an arbitrator%u2019s daily fee
- Administrative fees up to $225
- 50% of the travel expenses for the arbitrator
- 100% of the witnesses%u2019 expenses
- $600 court waiver fee
Once the arbitrator has heard the case and read post-hearing briefs, you should have a decision within:
- 30 days if AAA was used
- 30 days if FMCS was used
- 50 days if a single arbitrator vs. a panel was used
- 10 days if expedited arbitration was used

We ended up at Pauline's on a Sunday night when most of downtown Burlington restaurants were closed. So glad we did! Unexpectedly came across one of the best meals we had at a restaurant in the area. My husband's filet and my chicken picatta were absolutely delicious! And the crepe brûlée for dessert was among the best I've ever had! Servers were so friendly and professional; the only downside was the wait for our appetizers and main course. But after trying the food which was expertly prepared and presented, it was well worth the wait. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the Burlington area.
Outstanding as always. All personnel in masks and considerate of patrons.
I've eaten here many times and never disappointed.
We are regulars at Pauline's - not too often per year, but over many. We couldn't recall the food being quite so terrific as this time that we went!
Our meal started with Chef David visiting our table. He told about the restaurant and the specials. We felt welcomed and really excited for what was to come. The first course was escargot, which was done to perfection. Next course was scallops with pasta, chantrelle mushrooms and a lemon butter white wine reduction sauce. Third course were slices of medium rare tenderloin on top of a lapkas resting on a bed of spinach accompanied by roasted peppers. Then came his famous beet and candied walnut salad followed by chocolate gnosh cake topped with sorbet. This meal was absolutely delicious and done to perfection. The staff was gracious and welcoming. Everyone was using their PPE so we felt safe as well.
Great food, friendly staff. We enjoyed our brunch very much.
Food was excellent. We have always liked Pauline's.
It's nice to have a place to go that's consistently good. My husband especially loved the beets with his veggie hash. My Eggs Benedict was outstanding, and the Bloody Mary's were very good.
Great dinner! Food was delicious and drinks were great. Bartender and waitress were terrific.
We were discouraged that we were put downstairs because of how slow it was so our request for upstairs wasn't met. The appetizer we picked consisted of 3 shrimp with salsa which wasn't exactly what we expected to share for two. And the bread plate consisted of two split pieces of a popover and a slice of bread which seemed less than we had in previous years. And they couldn't meet the request of American cheese and regular yellow mustard when ordering a burger. Too many disappointments to return again but the staff tried their best and were very pleasant.
We chose Pauline's for a birthday brunch and we were glad we did. We had the Casco Bay Eggs, Roast Vegetable Hash, French Toast, and Two Eggs. We all cleaned our plates. The bread plate with popover muffins was a nice start to the meal. The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely returning.
The restaurant was good, not the type of good that I would necessarily send someone to as a must go to, but it was not bad and I would also tell someone that if they are looking for a place in south burlington they should consider Paulines. Only real negative was served undercooked bread. I like warm bread, but not when it is still dough. Our server rectified problem, but still making note that it should not have occurred to begin with. All staff was very nice and service was great!
Valentine's Day. Reservation for 8:30, didn't get food till 9:45. When the food did come it was cold. Service was slow and waiters were not attentive to guest needs (seemed like "regulars" were first priority, and others were afterthoughts). Ordered a second round of drinks before dinner and didn't receive them till we were done eating. Overall was super excited to bring my significant other to try something new, but was really let down. I will give them another try on slower night.
We had great Valentines dinner, reservations were for 6:30, we showed up early but they had us seated at 6pm.
we had oysters on the half shell and crab cake for appetizers
The special surf and turf was a petite beef Fillet and shrimp, beef cooked to perfection
Great service and drinks
Food came out extremely late and impacted the dining experience.
Always enjoy Pauline's - very nice staff, good food and pleasant atmosphere!
Disappointing, in almost all regards except for the bread . We came in at 2:00pm and were only allowed to order from the brunch menu. The service was pleasant but slow. Food was subpar especially when you consider the price and portions
Food was good, but service was really slow... especially with so few people.
It has been a long time since I made it here. We had an issue with the reservation getting through from OT and then at the last minute my sister and hubby decided to join us, taking our party from 6 to 8. The team was more than gracious to get us in and set up spot for our party. The wait staff was friendly and courteous. The food was excellent. My parents who had never been vowed to be back the enjoyed it so much. Definitely recommend the Bistro Steak. Can definitely taste the grass fed beef and it was very good quality. The Vesper Martini was also excellent, perfect blend of gin and vodka with flavorful but not overpowering vermouth.
This was our second Christmas Eve at Pauline's. Such a cozy and warm atmosphere. Just perfect for the mood. Our food was fantastic!
Great Thanksgining feast, with interesting choices outside of turkey. Delicious soup, relishes, and desserts.
As usual food was excellent but the sitting arrangement wasn't great way too cold. Took some convincing to get a little heater. Welcome gentleman was somewhat disturbed that we were 20 minutes earlier than scheduled reservation.
Great place to meet friends for breakfast or lunch during brunch hours on weekends.
overall, a very pleasant experience!
The fish was fresh and excellent. I would have liked more and better vegetables, especially for a restaurant in a farmland area. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. Sitting upstairs was much quieter than downstairs.
Good food and easy to get to
Would not recommend. Made a reservation through open table. Arrived on time for our reservation and the hostess said we didn't have a reservation. Showed her the open table confirmation on my phone and she said oh well, we are having internet trouble and next time we should call for a reservation. Mind you there were a ton of table open and we were told they could not accommodate us. Not impressed and would not recommend. Handled poorly.
Loud diner near us
Example: Was served 1/2 dozen over-priced oysters on the half shell that were sadly deflated, lacked brine and had not been properly released from the shell. Could not finish them. Told them about it and was charged anyway.
Great place! Parents weekend at Uvm. 3 B's cocktail was fantastic. Crab cakes dinner was great as well. Cheese plate starter was quite small, disappointing. Overall great.
Ithe food was good, but expensive for what it was.
Very small portions for the price.
The simple dated ambiance did not match the food, as some of the dishes on the menu where soohisticated
Great food, lovely people. Never a bad meal. Very friendly staff.
Food and service were very good - however, they charge a substantial fee for using a credit card, which was definitely a turn off to our entire dining party. I would imagine that most people use a credit card when they dine out - my husband and I dine out quite frequently and almost never pay with cash except at pizza shops or restaurants at that level. We have never once been charged for using a credit card at any restaurant. If Pauline's does not want to pay the fees from credit card companies, they should raise the price of each meal to cover the fees rather than add this to the customer's check. In short, the food was good; however, the policy left a bad taste.
Excellent food
We found Pauline's on OpenTable. We'd just arrived after a drive from Boston.
- Everyone was super-nice and super-polite. Can't fault them for that.
- We had to request nearly everything several times. I asked for hot tea with honey 3x before it arrived.
- There were four parties in our section. We were the first of them to order, and the last to be served. When I complained (for the 2nd time) about our entries, the bartender (seemingly the only one in charge) said there was a large party upstairs. So...their money is better or more important than ours? Or the Mgt didn't plan to serve regular customers while ignoring everyone downstairs?
- I would NOT have left a tip - but it was not the server's fault.
- The Waldorf salad was, well, strange: apple slices instead of chunks, and cabbage slaw instead of lettuce?
- The pork schnitzel was very flavorful - except that it was room temperature as well as late.
I WOULD NOT go back. And Pauline: I want my money back!
We picked Pauline's based on Open Table reviews and we were not disappointed. We had a good meal at a reasonable price.
The front room is a bit close, which makes it a little noisier. Everything else was great!!
I selected this establishment from Trip Advisor. Food was all excellent especially the pear salad. Server was very friendly but could not serve alcohol so we had a bit of a wait. Once the beer and wine were served all was good.
Always great food, a go to place for a rewarding dinner with friends family or clients. Offers not your everyday options with local produce! Using on line reservations is super helpful.
Must have been understaffed. It took 45 minutes to get our drinks. We were sitting next to the bar. No one behind bar for half hour...?

The Importance Of The MSP Sales Process
By Chris Wiser, Webroot
I've been in this business a long time, and I can honestly say that many MSPs lack a concrete sales process structure. That's pretty worrisome because, let's face it, you have to have a plan in order to succeed at just about anything. Imagine you're an engineer working on server maintenance or a network infrastructure build—you wouldn't do that without a plan, would you? Your sales strategy should be handled no differently.
Dos and Don'ts for your Sales Process
First, let's talk about some don'ts. Avoid taking a call and immediately giving a quote over the phone, as well as going straight to the customer site to conduct ad hoc assessments and sales presentations in the same breath. To build value, you need to stretch this into multiple touches, by which I mean multiple meetings. Sure, that's more work for you up front, but it's crucial for establishing trust with the client. You need to open and sustain a dialog about their needs so you can tailor a unique solution for them, without diving right into a pitch. By leading with careful consideration and attention to their needs, you can begin building a lasting relationship and, eventually, bring them a better offering.
Here's how I recommend you structure your process.

Wholesaling Tea Pt 5: Food-service
The US Wholesale Tea Business is a fascinating niche business characterized by an incestuous supply chain and an irrational focus on everything BUT product quality. In this series I'll attempt to unpack a few basic truths about the wholesale tea business that every entrepreneur should learn before either becoming a tea wholesaler or buying from a wholesaler.
In Part 1 I covered the industry at a high level. In Part 2 I covered sourcing, storing and blending teas. Part 3 focused on sales to independent retailers and specialty shops. In Part 4 shared Adagio's experience with sales into Grocery and large retail channels. In this final section I will cover sales to food-service and hospitality operations.
The key word in this discussion is SMALL. Food-service and hospitality buyers are not purchasing a lot of tea. A busy restaurant might serve 20 cups of tea in a day. At 3 grams each that's about two pounds a month. Let's assume you buy in large quantities and are able to get your tea at $7.50 a pound. You sell it wholesale at $15 a pound. Your revenue is $30 a month from the restaurant with a net profit (not including shipping, storage, or any other overhead) of $15. Weigh the profit potential against the time and effort to land the account and most people would conclude that it's not worth even pursuing this business.
A medium-sized independent cafe ($500K in annual revenue) might sell 400 drinks a day. Even if 10% of those are tea based, total monthly consumption comes to about 8 pounds of tea. Using the numbers from above, your revenue would be $120, with net profits of $60 a month.
Of course there are cafes doing over $1 million a year, and there are chains upon which you could build a business with one account. The problem is that the larger buyers will either choose a distributor for convenience (Kehe, UNFI, Tree of Life, Sysco and others can serve a range of needs from tea and coffee to pastries and paper products), or they will buy from a national tea wholesaler for the best pricing.
Wholesaling to food-service is the classic chicken and egg conundrum. In order to build a profitable wholesale business you need to be able to land the large accounts. In order to land the large accounts you typically need an established wholesale operation with strong relationships and dramatic economies of scale.
Many new, small wholesalers invest significant amounts of time and money (mostly time) into landing small accounts or convincing existing businesses to start carrying higher quality teas. Once landed, the accounts head in one of two directions. Either tea will remain a small side business and therefore contribute little to the bottom line of the customer or wholesaler, or if tea really does take off, the wholesale customer will start paying closer attention to sourcing options and will find a supplier able to offer better pricing or service. Small wholesalers often absorb the majority of the development costs, and then lose out on the long term success.
The greatest benefit of establishing a base of food-service customers is often not profit but rather brand-building. A great way to establish a new tea brand in a local community is to land your teas in prominent restaurants, cafes, spas, hotels, etc. Even if you only cover your costs of service, getting your teas in front of area tea drinkers can have a powerful impact on building a loyal customer following and driving traffic back to your store or website.
If you choose to pursue this business, you'll run into a second chicken-and-egg challenge. Most food-service operations don't have the necessary tools to make good tea. They need water that is filtered and heated to the proper temperature, large filters for brewing loose tea, and either teapots or appropriate teacups. You'll find the majority of food-service buyers are currently using teabags and their water is tap water pulled from a coffee maker at 180 degrees. They don't sell much tea because they don't have good water at the right temperature. Because they don't sell much tea, they're hesitant to invest in a proper water boiler, filters and teaware. The best tea served in typical fashion at even a fine restaurant is mediocre at best.
Until restaurants and cafes are willing to invest in the proper equipment and procedures for preparing and serving tea, the customers will be unwilling to pay several dollars for a cup of quality loose tea. The key to overcoming this challenge often comes down to finding tea lovers or more forward-thinking entrepreneurs looking for a way to differentiate their business.
At the end of the day, wholesale tea sales into the food-service arena remains either the playground of large wholesalers with strong economies of scale, or a brand-building opportunity for local retailers.

This company should not be allowed to operate. They deserve 0 stars. They will destroy your business. DO NOT RISK your business or brand with these lying incompetent Muppets! They are beyond incompetent… from lost stock, fake tracking numbers and they pretty much lie about everything. Bottom line is they don't care about your business they just want your money!
Gash Shoes
I can confirm all the bad, descriptive reviews of this app are real. My friend and I both got scammed by China Division.
This agent of theirs called Scott Yin literally stole our inventory that we paid for, and the left over balance, and refuses to give us access to it. I'm starting to doubt he even actually bought inventory with the money I made the mistake to send him.
I think they should be reported to the authorities. They illegitimately handle people's money and literally steal it by deceiving.
I'm surprised Shopify didn't actually investigate the activity of ChinaDivision, and that their app is still showing up here. It blows my mind they allow these people to use this platform to find their next victims.
Hopefully the pool of reviews from their older victims will be a clear warning for any potential new people that could make the mistake to trust ChinaDivision.
Please don't put your hard-earned money into this and find a reputable logistics company that will actually help you and not scam you.
Hunt Mania E
I can confirm they're all scammers.
Never talk to their agent named Scott in your life. They even charge you for pictures of your own product if you sell it through them.
They don't ship your products, they only take your money.
Remember SCOTT's name, and save yourself the trouble. Never fall victim to their heartless lies. They'll STEAL your money and you'll never see it again.
This company is filled with super RUDE employees, all lead by a horrible boss who teaches them to be like that.
Report this app and report this company.

A new analytics suite for Reddit has been created by a group of programmers from Hack Reactor, that utilizes the Reddit public API whilst combining real-time data into easy to understand graphic visualizations of historical data. To use the suite is simple, just head over to Reddit Insight and either enter your Reddit username (or someone you follow) to get a decent look at how some of their posts have evolved as well as the amount of Karma each post received.
Topic Cluster is a great visualization tool that allows you to select from 4 current subreddits to see how the topic is mainly broken down to. In the example below I chose r/Technology, which is mainly composed of 4 main subjects currently making the news followed by their associated keywords.
Track a post allows you to track how an individual post grew over time, as well as any Karma achieved for said post, by simply adding the comment URL and hitting Submit. In the example below, I tracked a post I submitted on 4th June 2013. You will see the shape of the graph change constantly as the information is compiled, and then it will continue to change as data is collected in real-time via the Reddit API. The Karma awarded for the post (via up/down votes) is also reflected in real-time.
Track a User is another nifty feature is the ability to track an individual user to see how their Karma levels have changed over time. You will note when you use the tool that the data (when hovering your cursor over a chart) says Thursday 01 Jan 1970. This is known as Epoch Time so doesn't reflect a time stamp for the users post. You can though see what Karma points were awarded, and underneath take a look at the users comments or posts.
You can also create your own Word Cloud, by simply selecting one of the 17 subreddits listed
Another interesting tool is the Interaction feature that lets you see the relationship between controversy ratio, interactions, and total karma per subreddit.
The Reddit Insight Analytics Suite also gives you a few nuggets of useful information regarding Reddit like the current Top 5 subreddits, which are :
as well as other information on some of the most commonly used words, and where they are mainly used.
Go ahead and check out Reddit Insights to see what information you can find, as there are more features that I haven't shown here. It's a fantastic tool and will hopefully improve in its usage over time. The team behind this project are:
Patrick Stapleton @gdi2290 – app architecture, front-end
Alex Gaputin – pulled all the data, back-end
Kevin Smith @kevinhsmitty – front-end architecture, realtime data capture, layout and styling
Elle Beal – d3, front-end and project management
Bill Shelton – data munging, data visualization and machine learning with Python, D3 and R
Chris Sita – d3 Interaction scatter plot

Nice work.

The Truth About Remixes
Innovation is a remix of the past. Time and time again, we find the most groundbreaking inventions are improvements upon past creations. Take the flash drive for example. The development of personal computers brought about the "need to store more and more information… with [the desire of] portability… from machine to machine (Londonip, 2014)." The flash drive was created in order to fill the void left behind by its predecessor, the floppy disc, in order to give consumers more freedom in terms of capacity and convenience. Similar stories are prevalent throughout history. The past serves as the foundational building blocks of the future.
The storyline in RIP: A Remix Manifesto that I found to be the most compelling illustration of copyright law was the idea that culture always builds on the past (SocialRedChannel, 2013). Advancement is nearly impossible without an application of previous knowledge. In the case of music, it's almost unreasonable to think that new sounds can be created without incorporating or modifying old sounds. Artists will always look to the past in order to connect with their audience, illustrate an appreciation for past cultures, strengthen their musical compositions, and create imaginative recordings that challenge the status quo. If artists were not allowed to build upon the past, music would not be where it is today. Take Rock N Roll, for example. The Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Foundation identifies the genres of Rhythm & Blues, Country, Jazz, Gospel, and Folk as Rock N Roll's "immediate roots (RockHall, 2013)." If that's the case, then one of the greatest genres in music is a mashup. Hip-Hop can also be considered a mashup. It builds upon past genres like Rock does, but it is also heavily influenced by sampling. One of the most iconic figures in Hip Hop, Jay-Z, recently sampled Nina Simone's Four Women on his daring single The Story of O.J. (Unterberger, 2017). He did so in order to pay homage to the previous creator, and expand on the ideas of the original record. Jay-Z wanted to give his take on the topic and put a modern twist on the song. 21 Savage also recently sampled Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson's Flashbulbs on his single, Bank Account (Unterberger, 2017). Both songs reached the Billboard 100, with the Story of O.J. peaking at #23 and Bank Account reaching #12 (Billboard, n.d.). Is it merely coincidence that a genre so heavily influenced by sampling is now the most popular genre in the music industry (Nielsen, 2018)? I don't think so. The fact that Hip Hop can take something old and make it into something new is one of the reasons why it is so popular today. It's daring, imaginative, and creative. It's a culture that consistently builds on the past, and it's driving the music industry into the future.
I understand that authors should have protection when it comes to guarding their intellectual property, but progression should be the ultimate goal, not inertia. We are in an era where things move at a very rapid pace. Creators are extremely active and need the proper tools to produce the products of the future. However, copyright law puts a limit on what they can utilize. It prevents culture from moving forward.
The fact of the matter is, mashups are "the result of two or more sources of content or data" being blended together to create a new application (Gerber, 2006). We use "mashups" every day. For example, internet sites such as Expedia and Priceline are mashups that allow consumers to easily compare vacation plans. Another example of a mashup is Angie's List, "a directory service of general contractors, with customer reviews and opinions (Gil, 2018)." Some may argue that internet mashups and music mashups are very different, but the concept is the same: combine two or more sources of data in order to create an innovative way of consumption. The only real difference is, internet mashups connect the consumer to the seller. Music mashups, on the other hand, are viewed as competition to the original creation. But that misconception can be corrected through collaboration, in my opinion.
What many mashup artists don't realize is that the original authors often feel like they are being undercut and unappreciated. Coherently, resistance will always be felt when creating something revolutionary that defies the norm. The phonograph was resisted by composers that were accustomed to making money from sheet music. Digital downloads were resisted by labels and artists that grew comfortable generating profits from physical albums. And streaming applications were resisted by companies that believed consumers should pay for a copy of music, instead of a subscription. In the end, that resistance eventually became support. I believe the same will occur when it comes to mashups, sampling, and remixing, but collaboration among all parties would certainly make things much smoother. Collaboration will turn resistance into support, especially if that same support becomes compensation.
Mashups should be legal, as long as the original author is acknowledged and profits with the new artist. As I explained earlier, mashups push music forward and have the power to create new genres, which will turn create new customers, new products, and new markets. Making mashups legal will create revolutionary styles of music that define previous classifications, which will grow the industry as a whole. While it's unknown how much money Jay-Z or 21 Savage paid to clear the samples from Four Women and Flashbulbs (respectively), it's clear that mashups are embraced as long as the original copyright owner is compensated. But money should not limit creativity. Everyone should be allowed to create, especially in music. While I believe that mashups should be legal, there should be some guidelines, rules, and regulations that protect the original creators. Here are the rules I propose:
- A mashup should not be made to purposely discredit the original author. It should be used as a building block to create something new, not as a stepping stone to destroy a piece of art. Malice should be prohibited.
- The original author has to be credited, and he must be entitled to royalties if the new creation is generating revenue. This brings me to my next point.
- Mashups should not contain more than 9 samples. The more samples that are in a mashup, the harder it is to determine a royalty percentage. If the authors are capped at 10, the process can be simplified by establishing that each author is entitled to 10% of royalties. However, these can be negotiated among the creators, depending on the significance of each sample and the final product.
These three rules should satisfy many of the demands made by music artists and labels when it comes to mashups.
I believe copyright is a necessary law that empowers creators and allows them to benefit from the execution of their ideas. It puts the power in the hands of authors and copyright owners. That's my personal opinion. Many people can think of brilliant ideas, but it takes effort and commitment to execute on those concepts. People who can make their ideas a reality should be rewarded, appreciated, and protected. However, I believe some changes can be made to improve copyright law. "Broadening copyright protection to encompass new forms of creative expression has been a consistent and driving force behind the evolution of copyright law (Carpenter, 2016)" yet mashups have been consistently resisted in the digital era. That needs to change.
Today's world is extremely different than it was when the Constitution was created. There is no way that our founding fathers could have predicted a digital era, where written letters, postal systems, and newspapers have essentially been replaced by cellphones, the internet, and computers. They couldn't have predicted that music would turn into a billion-dollar industry, where an artist has the ability to make money every time a listener hears their song. And they certainly couldn't have predicted that technology would permit any person to be an inventor/creator. So how can we continue to implement the same laws from the 1700s in a 21st Century world? We have to make changes, in order "to promote the progress of science and useful arts (U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Sec. 8, 1787)." The two changes I would like to be seen made to copyright law include the following:
- Reduce the terms of copyright from 70 years after the original author's death to 10 years. For corporations, change it from 90 years to 20. The logic behind this is simple, get the most out of your creation as quickly as possible and prevent monopolization. If you have a brilliant piece of work, you shouldn't be idle in capitalizing on the benefits. Get on it immediately. If you cannot get the most out of your work in 10-20 years, someone else should be given the opportunity to realize its full potential. It will put pressure on creators/inventors to make use of their products in the immediate future, as well as prevent corporations from monopolizing music (i.e. Warner and the Happy Birthday song).
- Allow others to make alternate versions (derivatives) of the original creation, as long as royalties are paid to the original author. This will solve many of the problems people have with copyright law, and will take the shackles off 21st century creators. Some people cannot pay upfront to secure licensing, but imagination shouldn't be exclusive to the wealthy. Everyone should be allowed to exhibit their creativity. This proposed change will create a level playing field for all creators, while properly acknowledging and compensating original authors. As long as the derivative shows some level of creativity and doesn't directly attack the original author, it should be permitted.
Copyright law covers a wide variety of works, but as an artist and music professional, I can only give my perspective through a musical scope. Copyright should protect authors and original creations, but it shouldn't deter others from building upon those creations in order to push our culture forward. Instead of outlawing creativity and shackling those who break copyright law (figuratively and literally), collaboration should be encouraged and changes should be implemented to reflect a 21st Century world. Only then will our society truly be able to maximize imagination and creativity. Only then will our culture be able to evolve and move forward.

SENATE OFFICE, Manila, March 7, 2011-Amidst the irregularities uncovered in the highly controversial plea bargain agreement forged between state prosecutors and a former military comptroller accused of plunder but was later charged with lesser offenses, Senator Franklin Drilon, a former justice secretary proposed a new set of policy that would govern plea bargaining agreement in the criminal cases under Senate bill No. 2732 otherwise known as Plea Bargaining Act of 2011.
Drilon filed the said bill following the Senate Blue Ribbon committee's sixth round of inquiry into the plea deal by former Gen. Carlos Garcia, who was allowed to post bail despite glaring evidence and testimony exposed in the chamber's hearings.
"There should be a clear cut law that would establish a formal policy implementation of plea bargaining agreements," Drilon said, explaining that without legislation, individuals accused of grave offenses like plunder would just enter into a plea bargain with the prosecution even without the consent of the offended party.
Drilon furthered that the proposed legislation would form part of the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon committee that allows a plea of the accused in a criminal case to a lesser offense with the consent of the offended party, in a move that trails the Garcia case grossly disadvantageous to the government part.
He said that during or after the presentation of the prosecution evidence, the prosecution may enter into plea bargaining with the accused with the consent of the offended party, but before the presentation of the defense evidence, and in no case after the dismissal by the court of a demurrer to evidence, the following conditions must be provided and presented such as the evidence of the prosecution is insufficient to prove the offense charged beyond reasonable doubt; in cases involving the recovery by or restitution to the offended party of property in crimes against property and those committed by the public officers in relation to public funds such as, but not limited to, the crime of plunder, graft and corrupt practices, bribery, and malversation, the accused makes a full restitution of the property or public funds involved; and in cases of conspiracy, the accused fully cooperates in the prosecution of principal conspirators responsible for the commission of the offense charged who are the most guilty, including in the provision of documentary, object and testimonial evidence, in the event that the accused has not yet qualified as a state witness in accordance with the Rules of Criminal Procedure.
"When there is no private offended party in the offenses charged," Drilon said that the party whose consent is necessary shall be the People of the Philippines as represented by the prosecution, the Republic of the Philippines as represented by the Office of the Solicitor General and the government agency represented by the Solicitor General responsible for the enforcement of the law violated by the offense, adding that if the penalty imposable for the offense charged is prison mayor or six years and one day imprisonment, or higher, or a fine exceeding P12,000, the plea bargaining agreement shall first be approved in writing by the city prosecutor, provincial prosecutor or the prosecutor general in criminal cases handled by the National Prosecution Service, the Ombudsman in cases handled by the Office of the Special Prosecutor, or the head of the agency in the case of other agencies authorized to prosecute criminal cases, before it is submitted to the court for approval. Without the written approval of the respective approving authorities the plea bargaining will not be allowed.
Drilon, who is a staunch critic of the Garcia plea bargain who strongly urged the Ombudsman to drop the motion to approve the plea bargain before the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court explained that the guidelines setting will ensure that the process does not become a mere vehicle for diluting the gravity of the offense charged against the accused, for destroying the deterrent value of the law intended to prescribe the offense committed or for creating opportunities for graft and corrupt practices.
Drilon noted that there are instances that a plea bargain is needed but there should be check and balance, adding that a fine ranging from Php6,000 to Php60,000 to any violation with the penalty of imprisonment ranging from six months and one day up to six years shall be the punishment.
