Our links with Local Schools
West Park Primary School
As the nearest school to Pyle & Kenfig Golf Club, we have developed a strong relationship with the school in terms of golf development. This has culminated in the creation of a 6 hole par 3 course which has been built in the school grounds of West Park Primary School.
The idea of the course is to allow children to learn and participate in golf, while in a school environment. The Year 6 Pupils monitor usage of the course, and the pupils from Junior age onwards are allowed to borrow plastic tri golf clubs, hi vis bibs and soft golf balls to play the course during lunch and break times in the summer months.
The pupils have had various projects to complete, such as measuring the length of the golf holes, and designing the score cards and tee markers for each of the holes. As well as allowing children to play and learn some key fundamental movement skills this has also captured their imagination.
Porthcawl Comprehensive School
Golf is the latest cool sport for teenagers, and for the 2018 season we will be holding regular golf taster sessions at the school for pupils aged between 11-16 that are new 2 golf, or who may have played before and want to take the sport up again.
As well as delivering golf during structured PE sessions at the school, the aim is to bring groups of pupils to Pyle & Kenfig to take advantage of our Driving Range, Golf Simulator and new 9 Hole Academy Short Course.

Epidurals are usually safe, but as with all medical treatments, side effects and complications can sometimes happen.
For more on side effects of epidurals in labour, read about pain relief in labour.
Low blood pressure
It's normal for your blood pressure to fall a little when you have an epidural. Sometimes this can make you feel sick.
Your blood pressure will be closely monitored. If necessary, fluids and medicine can be given through a drip to keep your blood pressure normal.
Loss of bladder control
After having an epidural, you may not be able to feel when your bladder is full because the epidural affects the surrounding nerves.
A catheter may be inserted into your bladder to allow urine to drain away. Your bladder control will return to normal when the epidural wears off.
Itchy skin
This can be a side effect of the pain relief medicines that may be used in your epidural.
Medicine can be given to help the itching, or the medicine in the epidural can be changed.
Feeling sick
Feeling sick (nausea) is less common with epidural medicines than with other pain relief medicines such as morphine and other opiates.
It can be treated with anti-sickness medicines, or by raising your blood pressure if it's low.
Inadequate pain relief
The epidural may not block all your pain. You may be offered an extra, or alternative, pain relief method.
A severe headache can happen if the bag of fluid that surrounds your spine is accidentally punctured. You may need specific treatment for the headache.
A procedure known as a blood patch may be used to seal the puncture. It involves taking a small sample of your blood and injecting it into the puncture.
When the blood thickens (clots), the hole will be sealed and your headache will stop.
Not all headaches from an epidural require a blood patch. Your anaesthetist will discuss your options with you.
Slow breathing
Occasionally, some medicines used in an epidural can cause slow breathing or drowsiness.
You will be monitored closely to look for this, and it can be treated easily.
Temporary nerve damage
The needle or epidural tube can damage nerves, but this is uncommon. Nerve damage can cause loss of feeling or movement in parts of your lower body.
The most common symptom is a small, numb area with normal movement and strength. This usually gets better after a few days or weeks, but can sometimes take months.
An infection can sometimes happen around the skin next to the epidural tube.
It's rare for the infection to spread. Antibiotics may be necessary or, rarely, emergency surgery.
Permanent nerve damage
In rare cases, an epidural can lead to permanent loss of feeling or movement in, for example, 1 or both legs.
The causes are:
- direct damage to the spinal cord from the epidural needle or catheter
- infection deep in the epidural area or near the spinal cord
- bleeding in the epidural area, causing pressure on the spinal cord
- accidentally injecting the wrong medicine into the epidural catheter
These are rare events, and anaesthetists have extensive training to reduce the chances of these complications.
Nerve damage can also happen for other reasons during surgery, which are unrelated to the epidural.
Other complications
Other, very rare, complications of an epidural include:
- fits (convulsions)
- severe breathing difficulties
- death
Before deciding to have an epidural, you should discuss the procedure with your anaesthetist.
They can provide further information and advice on the risks of developing complications.

The rightwing leader is set to become Israel's longest serving prime minister. But if he makes good on his plans to annex Palestinian territory, Israel's international reputation will slide only further. Colter Louwerse writes.
A dead-heat electoral race in Israel resulted in widespread confusion after contradictory exit polls led rightwing Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu and centrist Kahol Lavan co-leader Benny Gantz to simultaneously declare victory.
As it stands, a rightwing coalition looks likely, with Netanyahu becoming the longest serving prime minister in Israeli history. At the same time, the Israeli Left has been virtually wiped off the map, with the Labour, Meretz and Hadash taking less than 20 of the Knesset's 120 seats.
Netanyahu's past success derived from his ability to reflect Israeli society back upon itself, exploiting on the electorate's fears and prejudices. His 2019 campaign hit the same notes as it did during the election four years ago: anti-liberal, anti-democratic, anti-Arab, and brazenly opposed to any form of the two-state settlement.
What distinguished Netanyahu's 2019 campaign, however, was his attempt to galvanize the rightwing by promising to unilaterally annex sections of the occupied West Bank. This strategy appears to have pulled Netanyahu through by the skin of his teeth.
Assuming that Netanyahu manages to cobble together a coalition, it will likely comprise the most messianic, ethnonationalist government in Israeli history. The prospect does not bode well for Palestinians already living a tenuous existence in the occupied territories.
Time will tell if Netanyahu will be willing or able to carry out his election promise. In the past, he has, citing pragmatic grounds, thwarted bills proposing annexation. What is significant this time around is that the United States, once a major political barrier to annexation, now appears ready to acquiesce to such a move. Just last month the Trump administration recognized Israel's 1981 illegal annexation of the Golan Heights from Syria.
If Netanyahu does pursue annexation in the West Bank, it will not be a total seizure of the territory. Seeking to maximize Israeli territory while minimizing the problem of extending citizenship to a numerous and unwanted Palestinian population, a likely scenario is one in which Israel symbolically annexes only the settlement blocs already under de facto Israeli sovereignty, or else the territories east of the separation wall (less than 10 per cent of the West Bank).
Such a move would realize former Justice Minister Tsipi Livni's 2005 projection of Israel's 'future border', formally incorporating the main settlement blocks and the bulk of the settler population into Israeli proper.
Delivering on his annexation promises may additionally benefit Netanyahu by shielding him from the three charges of fraud and breach of trust currently hedged against him. According to Israeli and American sources cited by The Times of Israel, Netanyahu considers offering annexation of the settlement blocks to rightwing parliamentarians as a quid pro quo for the passing of legislation protecting him from future prosecution.
Annexation would also, of course, put the final nail in the coffin of the flimsy pretense that Israel is pursuing anything other than the irreversible destruction of a viable Palestinian state and the politicide of the Palestinian national movement.
There are two important factors to consider now vis-à-vis the Palestinian people: the first is for the people living in ghetto-like conditions in Gaza, beleaguered by a decade-long brutal and illegal Israeli siege. While Israeli snipers have inflicted massive death and injury to unarmed Palestinian demonstrators along the fence over the course of the past year, Netanyahu's continued reluctance to authorize a full-fledged military operation has spared the tiny besieged territory even more violent punishment.
Rather than stemming from Netanyahu's moral scruples, the decision to withhold military action in Gaza has been cynically driven by the IDF's calculation that the territory's dire humanitarian crisis 'would make it difficult for the Israeli army to fight in the Strip for long and could lead to intense international intervention'.
It was this decision, combined with Netanyahu's willingness to allow a trickle of Qatari fuel and other essential aid into the besieged enclave, that led the Hamas leadership in Gaza to quietly pray for a Likud victory. Netanyahu's hesitance to unleash the full force of the Israeli military against Gaza was not shared by his electoral opponent. Gantz had pledged to pursue more militaristic solutions against the Strip, including renewing the once common Israeli policy of targeted assassinations and possibly even the authorization of a ground invasion.
Secondly, the current trajectory of international opinion on the Israel-Palestine conflict favours the Palestinians. Netanyahu and his allies' espousal of an ethno-supremacist vision of Israel, not a state for its non-Jewish citizens, and open rejection of the two-state settlement has tarnished Israel's carefully cultivated international image as a model liberal democracy.
In the United States in particular, Israel's stock has fallen among the grassroots progressive wing of the Democratic Party, a trend reflected in the recent harsh criticism of Netanyahu by 2020 electoral candidates Bernie Sanders, Beto O'Rourke, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg.
Gantz's proposed policies toward the Palestinians were on the whole substantively indistinguishable or, in some cases, worse than Likud's. Nevertheless, Gantz's stated commitment to Israel as a state for all of its citizens (putting aside the scorn he heaped upon the possibility of including Arab parties in his coalition) and his platitudinal support for Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, would likely have gone a long way towards rehabilitating Israel's reputation among Western politicians.
By contrast, a continuation of Netanyahu's rule – especially if accompanied by annexation – will increasingly compel the international community to recognize and deal with Israel as it is: an apartheid state intent on permanently ruling over millions of Palestinians while denying them basic civil and human rights.
Colter Louwerse is a PhD researcher in Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter.

I danced with a hawk today, perhaps a juvenile red-tail, but I'm not sure, who decided to play with me on the way to the BSFVB Muster & BBQ.
He flew over the car and landed in a nearby tree. Then got curious for another look.
He looked me right in the eye. We danced.
He showed me his coloring and his great flying skills. Then our song of soaring ended, and he flew away.
I am better at photographing Mother Nature than I am people, but I will post some people shots tomorrow or Monday of the BSVFB Muster/BBQ/Retirement Party. Great food. Great people. Great party.

Greetings from Steve and Sandy Aholt,
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support. We thank God for you all daily, and we pray that each of you will be drawing closer to Him daily – because without Him, we can do nothing.
God continues to bless us with good health and strength to stand against the wiles of the devil. We see so many people falling away from Bible principles and living according to the world. These are some of the signs that we were warned that would happen in the last days. Perilous times!
Steve has had both of his trigger finger release surgeries. Thank you for your prayers as he continues to work out the soreness, in both of his hands, that goes along with this type of procedure.
We are doing well. There are always ministry opportunities around us – so many – that we must be careful to be devoting our time and talents to our main ministry.
We are still working strong on the translation and editing of the Pidgin discipleship material. Two books, The Story of Hope and The Way to Joy, are completed. A third book, The Roots of Faith – Old Testament, is 80% complete. There is a fourth book, The Roots of Faith – New Testament, that still needs to be translated. Please pray for new Papua New Guinea national translators to continue this work with accuracy and to completion, as the former workers are no longer able to do this task, due to other responsibilities. Also, please pray daily that human trafficking will be stopped! Please pray for those who have come out of this lifestyle to have hope and to realize that what they are doing is not them. The two must be kept separate to be able to biblically deal with each facet of what is going on in their lives.
Many of you remember Soma Zato as the girl we mentored for many years. She has been training at our Goroka Baptist Bible College there in Goroka where we lived. She will be graduating on the education program on Thanksgiving Day. She plans to stay and teach in the new school that has been started on our Bible college campus. This new school provides an Christian education alternative for our Bible college student's children. (Soma is the third one from the right on the front row).
You may remember me speaking about Bill Smith in some of our past Aholt Advances. He is still our PNG Field Coordinator. His wife, Lori Smith, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. They are here in the USA. She goes this week to talk to the surgeon. Please pray for them as they make decisions for the proper treatment, successful surgery, and complete healing process.
Listening for the trump and praying,
Steve and Sandy Aholt

Why you need a professional moving company
Definite estimates
When moving, you need to plan your finances appropriately to avoid the unanticipated costs overrunning your budget. For instance, a broken elevator will force the movers to use the stairs. This will take more time and increase the expenses since the company charges per hour.
It is advisable to ensure the building facilities and moving items are set and ready before the company arrives.
Moving companies have the highest safety standards when handling moving items. They begin by employing trained personnel that can handle the heavy lifts and work for hours without becoming inefficient. The teams work according to their packing, loading, delivery or customer service experience.
Movers also use advanced equipment such as dollies, ramps, digitized communication and real-time satellite tracking.
The items are wrapped with bubble wrap and packed in corrugated boxes. Delicate items are packed in quality boxes with anti-static peanut on the inside. This ensures the item isn't damaged in case of heavy impact.
The items are moved in dollies and ramps to the loading vehicle. They are loaded in air cushioned carriers and strapped on the sides to prevent movement. Delicate items have separate compartments.
Movers use digitized communication to ensure all departments are in touch. The team on the ground is updated on the weather and traffic which increases their efficiency. The trucks are guided by satellite navigation to ensure they avoid dangerous roads saving on time.
A-1 Auto Transport can help you move your household goods nationwide. Call 888-241-3110 to get a free, no obligation to buy price quote on interstate moving services.
How to find the best mover in Bettendorf
Check the reviews and ratings of a moving company at Yelp and Movingscam.com. They have verified reviews from thousands of customers across the globe. The customers have useful information on how to avoid being duped by fake companies.
Avoid using brokers at all costs. They increase the cost to ensure they end up with massive profits. Establish that the person you are communicating with is an employee of the moving company.
Use the company's USDOT carrier number at FMCSA to check whether the company has been licensed to handle household items. Also, remember to check the type and validity of the insurance the company uses.
A good track record shows ability to deliver. You can use BBB to perform background searches. They have a message board that warns customers against dealing with certain companies. Avoid companies with frequent and unresolved consumer complaints.

An enthralling weekend of Davis Cup tennis saw the US move through to the semi-finals, with a stunning victory over the French in Monte Carlo.
Meanwhile, Serena Williams won her 40th tour title after defeating Lucie Safarova in the Charleston final.
The Davis Cup
It always looked like John Isner held the key to US success on the Mediterranean clay, but the big-serving American's outstanding displays against both Gilles Simon and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, meant the Bryan brothers needed to just do what they do best and provide the point which ultimately helped the US to a 3-2 victory over the French.
Trading opportunities were plenty in Monte Carlo. The French came in as comfortable favourites with the bookmakers, but any traders who held out for the French to take the first rubber, when Tsonga recorded the expected singles win over Harrison, and then backed the US at big odds, would have had chances aplenty to either get out with a profit or stay in, as one by one, the US took the following three points to seal victory.
Isner's match with Simon on Friday afternoon saw the American face five break points as he recorded a straight sets victory. Tennis traders backed the big man each time the break points went against him and made a healthy profit as Isner didn't lose any of those points.
The crucial match against Tsonga on Sunday afternoon saw more perfect scenarios playing out for the tennis traders. Tsonga had seven break point chances but was only able to take one of them. The game with the most profit came in the 11th game of the third set. Isner found himself 15/40 down and with two break points against. A perfect scenario for all those fans of Tennis Scalper. This was one of the most profitable matches with many reporting profits of £200 +.
Elsewhere in the Davis Cup, the deciding match of the Czech Republic v Serbia match proved both dramatic and hopefully profitable. Berdych was taking on World No.8, Janko Tipsareivc and whilst it was the Czech man who won 7-6, 7-6, 7-6, the odds fluctuated wildly throughout the match as Berdych continued to comeback when behind in sets, saving break points at crucial moments and overturning deficits in two out of the three tie-breaks. Berdych won all three sets but if you were trading on short-term odds fluctuations, you would have made a great profit here!
The Family Circle Cup
The final three days of this event didn't provide too much in the way of drama or tension as Serena Williams put together one of the most impressive weekends of her career to win her 40th title and fire a warning to the tour that she is far from done.
In Friday's quarter-final with Sabine Lisicki, Serena stormed into a 4-1 lead before her opponent pulled out injured. A 6-1, 6-1 victory over her US Open conqueror followed in the semis, before she took just 58 minutes to defeat Saforova, 6-0, 6-1 in Sunday's final.
Such a powerful romp to victory for Serena made it a difficult weekend for traders hoping to make a profit at this event, however trading on Williams breaks using Scalper across the week could have got you out with some decent earnings. The American lost just 15 games all week in Charleston and even if trading was tough, no learnings are ever without merit and it's worthwhile keeping in mind these awesome clay court displays from the American when she steps out at the Madrid Masters next month.
The Week Ahead
There are a couple of decent looking ATP events to get your trading teeth stuck into this week, in Houston and Casablanca.
Isner, Blake, Harrison, Fish and Karlovic are all in action in the Texas event so look out for tennis trading opportunities later in the week. All these players have presented close matches with plenty of profit for anyone using Tennis Trading League Strategies.
Over on the clay of Casablanca, it's the likes of Mayer, Dolgopolov, Young and Montanes in action. There are plenty of players who would not necessarily count the red stuff as their strongest surface, so I'd expect to see a lot of breaks in matches – perfect for tennis trading. Tennis scalper could be a profitable trading strategy for the week, but with such close action anticipated, don't rulke out Race Your Profits, ChampWinnings, or Final Serve.
Meanwhile, the WTA has events in Barcelona and Copenhagen with Schiavone and Wozniacki leading the fields in each event. Expect Wozniacki to come out victorious in her home event, but keep an eye on Barcelona, where we have a fairly open field and anyone could take the title. Should be a great week in both Men's and Women's.

But Palo Alto has decided to keep this program open until Dec. 31. 2020 -- New Year's Eve. In large part that decision was made to keep the restaurants in business as long as possible this year, as their income has dropped considerably because of the coronavirus, but also because restaurants are building parklets by their front sidewalks, to provide an extended seating area for diners. The restaurants have to pay for the parklets, and evidently the city is extending the outdoor program to Dec. 31 so the restaurants can continue to earn some money.
But there are a couple of problems that haven't been solved yet.
Consider this scenario: It's Saturday night, Nov. 28, and a great night out for dinner. Restaurants are still serving, but only outside. A storm has come in, temperatures have dropped to 40 degrees, the wind is blowing hard, it's raining, and the restaurant table umbrellas are swinging back and forth. Their heaters are on, but the winds carry the heat away. The forecast is for a week of this weather. I don't know about you, but I'm not eating out in the cold and rain.
I've thought about putting heavy plastic curtains around the area, but then the restaurants created an outdoor room, where COVID-19 can easily spread. Forget that thought.
One other big problem is that University will be closed to cars during this entire period. That's great for restaurants, but what about other downtown stores, like Apple, CVS, Chico's, Footwear and other clothing stores. And what about stores on side streets -- they are losing money daily. Several closures -- and bankruptcies -- have already occurred.
"The city is working on these issues," Councilmember Eric Filseth told me. I sure hope so because what is imagined for summer evenings doesn't always work during late fall and winter days. It call it, "Plan Ahead."
Short agendas — long council meetings
Last week the Palo Alto City Council had two action items on its agenda. The first came up near 7 p.m. The second followed. The meeting ended at 11 p.m. This week there were also two items.
The first was on an application to tear down a one-story home at 2352 Webster St. and build in its place a much larger two-story home with a big basement.
The second agenda item asked the council to" amend the city's supply portfolio neutral plan and electric utility reserves management practices." Sounds like a real sexy topic, doesn't it.
The first item was really about an old house, a new house, and a very old tree on the property. Neighbors feared that the new basement would endanger this old tree, and the city arborist's view was different from a hired arborist's idea.
The discussion went on -- and on -- and lasted until midnight. The council never got to the second item.
Why does one single-family project take up nearly five hours of seven council members' time over what seems like a relatively routine item? Aren't there more important things to discuss? And why devote council meetings to just two items, when members used to tackle numerous issues?
When Jim Keene was city manager, there typically were several action items that drew a lot of public attention. I can't help wonder what happened. Are we more efficient as a city or is it the less discussed, the less the staff has to do? Your speculations are welcome.
"We're opening safely"
That's what the postcard from Palo Alto's Rec Department declared introducing their new fall programs, adding masks are needed and social distancing will be enforced. Will it? A lineup of activities makes me wonder: middle school athletics (girls volleyball, flag football and cross country), youth and teen Children's Theatre, outdoor cardio dance, tennis, and kids soccer, to name several.
I question whether this is the right time to hold these classes, especially when schools are staying shut and the number or coronavirus cases in Palo Alto is increasing. And BTW, we know kids have a hard time keeping on their mask, especially when playing volleyball or soccer.

Hilo District Judge Barbara Takase has scheduled a preliminary hearing date for a Wainaku man accused of raping and drowning a 5-year old girl on Sunday. Anthony Serges Poulin will appear in court Friday at 1:30 pm to face charges of second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree sex assault, plus abuse of a family member in the death of Javieanne Win. Poulin remains in custody in lieu of one million dollars bail.
Hamakua Councilman Dominic Yagong has introduced a bill to ban rental cars from Waipio Valley. Yagong told the "Hawaii Tribune-Herald" that the increased access of rental vehicle traffic into Waipio Valley creates unsafe conditions as well as an unnecessary and significant burden to the already heavy traffic in the valley.
Keaukaha resident Wade Kalili has taken his dispute with the Hawaii Electric Light Company to the street. Kalili told the "Hawaii Tribune-Herald" that the utility has overcharged him by tens of thousands of dollars over the past five years due to a faulty meter and someone else tapping his line. Kalili said HELCO charged him $15,166.48 last year. After his meter was changed, Kalili's bill fell to $500. Kalili wants to get some of his money back. Curtis Beck, HELCO's energy services manager, said the utility is working with Kalili to resolve the issue.
Enrollment at UH-Hilo reached a new all-time high for Fall 2009. Opening enrollment figures from the University of Hawaii System show UH-Hilo's fall enrollment increased to 3,996–a gain of 210 students. UH-Hilo Chancellor Rose Tseng says the increased enrollment "validates the quality of UH-Hilo's educational product and the committment of our faculty, staff, and administration to meet the needs of our students."
Donna Smith, the executive vice president of E. K. Fernandez Shows LLC, tells "West Hawaii Today" that animals and other farm element will not be present when the Fair opens today on the runway of the Old Kona Airport Park. Smith says the board of directors of the Big Island Farm Bureau decided that the bureau would not participate this year. Despite the shift in focus, the Fair will feature the traditional favorites, including the midway rides, nonstop live entertainment, carnival rides, and a variety of tasty foods.
(AP). Aquaculture farmers in Hawaii are now able to apply for federal stimulus money to help offset high feed prices experienced by the industry last year. State agriculture officials say the USDA has allocted $150,000 as Hawaii's portion of the $50 million in feed stimulus funding. The grants are administered through Hawaii's Aquaculture Development Program.
(AP). Two veteran members of Congress from Hawaii are applauding the health care speech that President Obama delivered last night. Democratic Senator Daniel Inouye and Representative Neil Abercrombie say they support a "public option" which would provide insurance from the U.S. government to people who can't get coverage from private providers.

I have been using a product called "Uniblue RegistryBooster" for about 2 years on my Windows XP system. I run the product once about every month and it cleans out my operating system registry of all entries that are either abandoned or doing nothing. On average it finds about 50-100 abandoned registry entries.
Softwares tend to leave records within the operating system registry that tells the operating system how and when to access certain files. Unfortunately many of the entries are not removed upon software removal or are just orphaned by the operating system.
The bottom line is that, the larger your registry is, the slower your system is going to get because the registry is accessed frequently by the operating system. Therefore its a great idea to keep your Windows registry clean and de-fragmented
There are many registry cleaners available. I have used only one paid product and I think its a good one.
The first time I used Uniblue's RegistryBooster I found a notable decrease in my system's booting up time. You may also like to look for free registry cleaners. There is a good free registry cleaner available at Eusing.com. Its not in the same league as the Uniblue product but if you are not in the practice of cleaning your registry, this is sure to be worth your while.

Misconceptions About Chiropractic Care
One of the most common misconceptions people in Littleton have about chiropractic is that it involves twisting or cracking the neck. Unfortunately, this creates a lot of fear in people who don't like the idea of getting their neck popped. While some of the traditional forms of chiropractic do work that way, there are many different types of chiropractic care. At Amplify Chiropractic, we are 1 of only 50 clinics across the country that specialize in the Pierce Results System - a technique that produces dramatic results without any twisting or cracking of the spine.

Did anybody else notice something different about the Protection for Hire book trailer? My Zondervan marketing director told me they'd do this, so I was kind of expecting it.
The words on the trailer applied for both books because the trailer was introducing the premise of the entire series. So rather than making a brand new trailer for book 2, A Dangerous Stage, which would have a lot of the same stuff in it, they instead changed the background coloring and design of the existing trailer to mesh the color and art schemes for book 1 and book 2. Originally it was all green and yellow, and now they've added more of the red and yellow from the cover of book two.
Check it out:
What do you think?
Preorder A Dangerous Stage! It'll release November 2012!

Who hasn't hit "Send" and then noticed an egregious typo? Gmail feels your pain and has finally added an "Undo Send" option.
The ability already existed in Gmail Labs (where users can test new features) since 2009 and Google's Inbox app. But now it's coming to plain ol' Gmail for the Web.
Here is how to set it up. Once in Gmail, click on the "General" tab on the top right of the screen — the one that looks like a little gear.
Choose "Settings," scroll down, click "Enable Undo Send," and choose a cancellation period of between five to 30 seconds. That is how much time users have to hit "Cancel" above an email while it's sending.
Once pressed, users will get a chance to edit or delete their email. And that's it! Drunk, angry, sleepy, and just plain careless Gmail users now get a second chance.

The Right Orthopedic Surgeon in Panama City, FL Works Hard to Make Sure Your Injuries Are Taken Care of Properly
If you suffer from any type of joint or bone injury, a good orthopedic surgeon in Panama City, FL will do what it takes to make you feel better because these experts have a variety of techniques on hand to help heal you so that you can move on with your life. If you're hurt due to an injury or just because of your lifestyle, these doctors will properly diagnose what is wrong so they can then develop a personalized treatment plan to help you. A good orthopedic surgeon is a specialist in sports medicine but also treats non-athletes when they have these types of problems.
Starting with the Basics
One of the main perks of choosing the right orthopedic surgeon is that orthopedists always start with the least-invasive treatment possible, but if you need surgery, they can take care of that as well. They use high-tech equipment to correctly diagnose the problem, and they often have other experts on hand to help you heal more quickly. Facilities such as Panhandle Orthopaedics utilize pain-management techniques and recommend at-home exercises to strengthen the weakened area, making your recovery time a lot shorter.
Taking Care of All Types of Problems
A professional orthopedic surgeon can take care of any part of your body from a sprained wrist to a broken ankle and even take care of back pain, arthritis, and problems with your spine. They utilize many non-surgical and minimally invasive/minimal incision techniques and can determine which one is best for you once they conduct a thorough examination. Whether you've been exercising incorrectly, or your condition is due to the aging process, orthopedic doctors can help you feel better very soon, and since most of them have excellent websites, you can easily get the information you need before scheduling that first appointment.

Agent or an IRS official is a common visitor to your Arizona business or daily life. Obtaining a differentiation between the two is essential for you to learn how to deal with each. An IRS representative has the principal purpose of auditing tax returns. They send notifications regarding impending audits via email. You can go to local IRS office, when you get an e-mail from IRS representative or an agent comes over to your home or company to audit returns.
An IRS officer on the other hand deals with more complex tax problems. For example, whenever an IRS agent finds that you haven't paid taxes on a certain source of income, your case is called IRS official. Hence the main occupation of an IRS official is to handle back tax liability or a tax debt.
The Internal Revenue Service assigns you a revenue officer in the following circumstances:
When the IRS has failed to successfully collect taxes from you using the regular channels like emails, levies, notices and telephone calls.
When you've got a reputation of not filling taxes.
Like payroll taxes, when you neglect to pay certain form of taxes.<?p>
When your tax liability is considerably large, a standard amount being 25,000 dollars or more.
Law mandates recall IRS revenue officers to undertake measures to regain the taxes. These measures repossess property, halt assets or wage garnishments, seize and can include problem levies. Expect these policemen to show up at your house or place of companies sudden or without prior communication. In infrequent cases, you might be called by the policemen or send you e-mails summoning you to their offices. Attempt to cooperate with them to prevent further complicating your case and attempt to pay you over-due taxes to the widen your income can accommodate. The tax sum requires you to workout a plan to pay or in case your case is more complicated, you will need the professional services of legal counsel.
When you're unable to pay off your debt instantaneously, the IRS official might request some files and financial records. Filling these forms ought to be done correctly and precisely consequently the services of an attorney are needed. Should you fill the forms erroneously whether intentionally or unknowingly, the Internal Revenue Service can use this against you and sue you for tax evasion. Thus, when you get these forms, the first thing to do is to call an attorney.
Additionally, a lawyer in Yuma will review your financial situation and work out the best paying strategy together with the IRS revenue officers. Without a lawyer, you might intimidate into consenting to a plan that you cannot afford but which makes their job easier. If you are given tight datelines, a lawyer can quickly negotiate and get you a adaptable one. Remember, there are several alternatives that may be offered by the officer. A standard one in case linked to payroll overdue is to assess and assign you a retrieval fee trust fund. For this to take place, an interview must be run to determine who is the actual perpetrator between a person as well as a company and having an attorney in this interview in Arizona is a matter of necessity.
Once the IRS hit on you or your firm using a tax bill, it generally appends interest charges and penalties. Some penalties, like late payments, they're included automatically by IRS computers. Otherwise, IRS staff may inflict punishments if you dishonored a tax code provision, like filing a late return.
The Internal Revenue Service assumes they are acknowledged by you in the event you do not whine once fees are imposed. Luckily, the IRS can confiscate a penalty just as straightforward as it contained one. The key to the realm of the tax penalty relief is revealing a sensible reason behind your letdown to mind with tax law.
The amount of distinct tax code fines is staggering. Here are a few of the penalties that IRS will tack on to the debts of people who've not filed their back tax debts.
The IRS will impose a 20 % penalty on you if you were negligent or considerably minimized your taxes. This precision-connected fine is applied when you CAn't set a deduction in a review, or you didn't submit all of your income and the IRS learns it.
If the Internal Revenue Service finds that you weren't reported your income with a deceptive aim, a penalty 75% could be attached.
Normally, the Internal Revenue Service will add a fee from 0.25 % to 1% for each month to an income tax statement, which is not paid punctually. This late payment fine is when you make a delayed payment, or tacked on by the Internal Revenue Service computer automatically whenever you file a tax return devoid of paying the outstanding balance.
The IRS can fine you an additional 5% per month on any outstanding balance if you didn't file your return on time. But this punishment could be applied only for the initial five months following the due date of the return, equal to a 25% higher charge. The IRS can nevertheless impose lesser punishments, when there isn't any outstanding balance.
Once you know the reason as well as the way the IRS strike you with fines, you can need that they removed or be abridged. The IRS name for this particular process is known as an abatement. Approximately one-third of all tax fees are ultimately abated, and it will not be less should you understand the methods to contest them.
Simply telling the IRS that you really do not enjoy a fee, or cannot actually afford to compensate it, WOn't work. You must demonstrate practical cause, which means a good supplication. Based on the IRS, any sound cause advanced as the reason for postponement by a taxpayer in making deposits, filing a return, when owed will be carefully analyzed, or paying tax.
Enclose the following documents with your written request.
If you have been imposed fees by the IRS, there are a few productive and easy methods to get your tax fines or interest condensed or even removed totally. We've really been in the business for years and we are devoted to offer our customers a professional IRS fee and interest abatement service officially. Contact us today to solve your tax problems all and the associated fees levied on your Yumacompany or on you by the Internal Revenue Service.
If you owe the IRS back taxes and also don't respond to payment notices or their phone calls chances are that you may be subjected to an IRS wage garnishment. In other quarters, it is also called a wage levy or wage attachment. It's worth noting that a court order is usually not needed and other state and national laws pertaining to the entire sum of exempted from garnishment does provide several exceptions for the wage levies.
The garnishment procedure is usually quite drawn-out, first the IRS discovers how much you owe them in back taxes, once this has been done, they'll send you several payment request notices in the mail as well as more than one phone call with regards to the debt in question. Failure to react to the phone calls and notices,automatically results in a 'Notice of Intention to levy" being sent to your last known mailing address. You usually have thirty (30) days to touch base with IRS with regards to this notice before they go ahead and forwarding the notice to your Yuma employer. After this notice was sent to the Yuma employer, you've got a further fourteen (14) days to make an answer before garnishment of wages begins. The employer generally has at least one pay period before they're required to send the funds after receiving a notice of levy.
IRS garnishment rules typically permit the Internal Revenue Service to deduct or garnish 70% or more of an employee's wages; this is mainly done with the aim of convincing the worker or his representative to touch base with IRS to settle the debt.
Wage garnishments are usually one of the most competitive and harsh tax collection mechanisms and one should never take them lightly, as a matter of fact, they'd rather work out tax issues otherwise and only sanction this levy when they feel they've ran out of viable alternatives. Even though paying off the taxes you owe the IRS is the easiest way out of such as situation, this really is normally not possible due to a wide selection of motives. First of all, you may not possess the whole amount or the tax liability may belong to someone else or your ex spouse, you will be asked to establish this however.
You thus need to discuss any payment arrangements with the Internal Revenue Service and do so fairly quick. In this respect, it's critical that you simply get in touch with an expert who will help you quit or end the garnishment and to readily get a wage garnishment release. We are a Yuma BBB A+ rated tax company using a team of highly qualified tax lawyers with years of experience as well as a long list of satisfied clients to demonstrate this. Get in touch with us and we promise to get back to you within the shortest time possible, generally within one working day or less. We assure that will help you achieve an amicable arrangement together with the Internal Revenue Service(IRS) and get you a wage garnishment discharge.
Many people are law abiding Yuma citizens and they dread the threats of IRS actions. Innocent individuals are lured by these firms in their scams and commit consumer fraud and even larceny! There are lots of ways in which they trick people of their hard earned money: by charging upfront nonrefundable payments without supplying any guarantees, by misrepresenting future outcomes, by posing as a service provider and selling the sensitive information of the clients to other service providers, by outright larceny from customers and so on. Therefore, caution should be exercised by you when you're trying to locate a tax resolution firm for yourself.
Not all Arizona tax relief companies who promise to negotiate together with the IRS for you are trustworthy. Because there are so many fraudulent businesses out there, thus, preventing IRS tax relief scams is extremely important. It is possible to prevent being taken advantage of, all you have to do to follow a few useful hints and would be to educate yourself in this respect! First things first, never pay in total upfront whether the tax resolution company asks for it in an obscure manner at some point of time or in the beginning. An authentic tax resolution firm will always folow a mutually acceptable financial arrangement wherein the payments could be made on a weekly, bi-weekly monthly or basis.
Secondly, it is best to be very cautious when you're choosing a certain tax resolution firm to work with. Chances are the business is fallacious if they assure you the desired outcomes or state that you just qualify for any IRS plan without even going through a complete financial analysis of your current situation then. Thus, do not fall for their sugar-coated promises and hunt for other genuine firms instead.
The internet is a storehouse of information, but you have to be cautious about using such advice. For handling your tax associated difficulties, don't just hire any random company with great advertisements or promotional campaigns. In order to choose the right firm, it is advisable to research about the same in the Better Business Bureau web site and see their ratings or reviews.

The lien cushions the authority's claim to all your present property, inclusive of personal financial and real estate assets. Generally, a federal tax lien is imposed whenever the IRS analyses your culpability, when they deliver to you a bill that lays out into detail how much you're owed and also when you decline to pay your debts on schedule. When a lien is submitted, it transforms it into a public record affair. Liens usually record the exact figure owed to IRS in the precise time it is levied in a public file known as the Notice of Federal Tax Lien. The file notifies lenders the government has a right to confiscate your property at any given time. This specific information is conventionally got by credit reporting agencies that are different therefore tax liens finally reflect in your credit reports. Tax Liens are often active ten days after issuing a demand to clear the tax debts that are stipulated.
Federal tax liens can readily be averted from being lodged by paying up all your tax dues before the IRS choose to impose a lien on your own assets, and also. They may also be evaded through establishing installment deals which adequately match the requirements of the IRS as not to file a lien. A federal tax lien cannot be filed if a citizen decided to prepare a streamlined or guaranteed payment treaty. Such arrangements require the citizen keep a balance of $10,000 or an amount less than that for the guaranteed payment accord and for the streamlined agreement it that is, should be $25,000 or less. In a situation where the taxpayer owes more than $25, 000, a tax lien may be prevented if he/she a streamlined treaty. lays out tries their best to reduce that specific outstanding balance to just $25,000 or less and alternatively There are just two methods of removing tax liens: release and withdrawal.
Getting federal tax liens is like it never existed when the IRS resort to revoking the lien. The lien is filled lien withdrawals usually take place. In a case where the tax lien is erroneously filed, contact the IRS as soon as possible. In order to substantiate that you've got no tax arrears then take the essential steps in withdrawing the lien, the IRS representatives will assess your account.
Releasing a federal or Arizona state tax lien normally means that the imposed lien no longer constrains your assets. Immediately after lien releasing, the county records will immediately be brought up to date to demonstrate that is has been released. However,the presence of a federal tax lien once will be displayed in your credit reports for ten years. Liens are often released within a month of clearing the outstanding tax arrears or upon establishing the deals that were guaranteed and streamlined.

This is Not a Game: The Mysterious Death of Theresa Duncan, Part Five from Dream's End

Well put. Confusion is contagious and I see 'awe and wonder' as a stealth form of 'shock and awe.'
And this has been exploited for ages. Recently as discussion groups on 'The DaVinci Code,' for instance.
Cyber-cointelpro is ramping up in 'news' and disinfotainment.
BTW, I noticed that disinfo.com's hard copy books have…disinfo…in them. Warning.
Culture war heads-up:
The west coast has a youth'n'music oriented periodical distributed from San Diego to San Francisco with local advertisers and names that are all versions of the California Herald fronted by a Gene Mahoney.
Theresa Duncan would recognize the themes in this rag instantly. I did because I know the value of misogyny to the National inSecurity State.
Sniff the sulfur at its website- http://californiaherald.net/
It promotes 'he-man' poets who rage at "bitches." And worse. Like Che Guevara on a meat hook.
"Santa Rosa Herald, East Bay Herald, Marin Herald," etc. All the same rag with local advertisers duped into being friendly credentials for psy-ops.
This rag is more right wing than Ann Coulter and looks to me like a professional CIA product designed to peel off young cultural creatives away from lefty rockers with relentless negative framing and also to badjacket women which is a core theme of military recruiting which needs young men to remain aloof from young women. The movie reviews direct readers to hostile images of women and there is a cartoon that is always about evil women.
Besides chronic attacks on the image of Che Guevara and women there are smears against every musician who has ever spoken up for human rights and against fascism, Joan Baez, Frank Zappa, Michael Moore, etc.
The magazine's website has the worst Reich-wing columnists and carried disinfo about Joan Baez' trauma-based dissociative identity disorder issues. Yes, she really has them as a result of early child abuse.
Look out for this rag on the west coast. It looks like a professional USG alphabet agency device to me.
And this is precisely the kind of thing Theresa Duncan was exposing on her blog.

yesterday i spoke to my sister who spent the day the the bust magazine holiday craftacular. jealous! but i got my own taste of handmade movement goodness at the atomic holiday bazaar in sarasota. i went to do some field research as well as to shop. there were only two ceramic artists there, one potter with wild colorful glazes and a slip caster with parts of different molds assembled into fanciful creatures. i saw a few people selling books (with other stationary items) and starting thinking how cool it would be to do a fair like this with m and her books. and i would love to bring my clay stuff next year.
my fan favorite (do i watch too much top chef?) was definitely jewelry maker opulent oddities. her work was too good to pass up and i chucked my "browse and return" system to drop some cash at her booth. i even had to run across the street to the atm for more because i needed to walk away with multiple pieces of her work. i justified my purchases by focusing on the fact that i barely own anything these days.
i also had the very pleasant surprise of seeing old friends megan (of flying heart jewelry) and don and family and another very old friend who i have not seen in nearly 15 years.
afterward we all went to liz's and enjoyed cheesy delights and cocktails.
*sorry about the low quality pictures! they're from my cell phone, all i have at the moment. working on it, hoping santa claus will bring me a camera for christmas…

Japan fails at the rails and pays dearly for it
| Tokyo
WHEN Japanese businessman Masao Kamei agreed to head a new government-appointed committee, his wife reportedly told him he was ''foolish'' and refused to speak to him for a week.
As chairman of Sumitomo Electric Industries, he heads a committee established by Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone to oversee rehabilitation of the deficit-ridden Japan National Railways (JNR) - a task Mr. Kamei's wife considers both thankless and difficult.
Her husband does not disagree. As observers elsewhere can testify, the economics of public transportation can be as stubborn as a jammed switch - and politics can derail even the sleekest recovery program.
''It will take 20 to 30 years to complete JNR's rehabilitation,'' Mr. Kamei told reporters recently.
Japan National Railways, in fact, is a paradox.
JNR's trains run on time, moving millions of travelers around the country daily with clockwork efficiency. Railway executives and engineers from around the world come to admire and buy the technology that created the famous high-speed ''bullet trains.'' JNR's technological virtuosity is putting the finishing touches on the world's longest tunnel.
At the same time, the rail network epitomizes for many Japanese the profligate spending and financial irresponsibility of public corporations that do not have to worry about going bankrupt.
In fiscal 1982, JNR had a record loss of $5.9 billion. Fiscal 1983 could be worse. The network has a cumulative deficit of $77 billion and has to keep borrowing more to pay off its debts. Interest payments alone account for almost 38 percent of total operating revenues.
How did it get into such a state? Critics often cite overstaffing and poor management. But in broader terms, JNR, like public transport systems in other countries, has found it hard to reconcile the need of citizens for reliable, affordable transportation with the need to operate within reasonable financial constraints.
An often-cited example is the Msall Line between the central Alps towns of Karuizawa and Komoro, which formerly had only seven trains in each direction per day. Students going to high schools in the area often had to wait up to four hours if they missed a train - time some of them spent hanging around games arcades and engaging in delinquent behavior. Traffic accidents soared as many students commuted by motorcycle instead.
For two years teachers and parents campaigned for more trains. Three were finally added in each direction - meeting a real social need, while doing nothing to ease JNR's financial problems. But, say those opposed to running JNR along strictly profitmaking lines, the Msall case shows exactly why a state-owned transportation system is needed.
Parts of the JNR network are obviously successful. Commuter services in Tokyo and Osaka made a $692 million profit last year, while the original ''bullet train'' line to Osaka and major cities en route to the southern island of Kyushu came out ahead by just over $2 billion.
But these successes were more than offset by losses on local lines and by the failure of the freight division to meet the challenge from coastal shipping and long-distance trucks. Critics note that many of the unprofitable lines were built under pressure from politicians seeking to impress their constituents. These same political pressures keep the trains running - despite a decline in rural populations and the growing use of automobiles.
Early in 1983, after two years of study, a government-appointed advisory group of business leaders proposed drastic solutions for JNR's problems. It said all debts should be eliminated at the stroke of a pen - and that the network should then be broken up into regional divisions as a first step toward an eventual private takeover.
These proposals are among the options being considered by the Rehabilitation Surveillance Committee Mr. Kamei heads. The task, however, is complicated by a divergence of opinions on what is wrong with JNR and on what can be done to overcome its problems. Most agree that the network should be as concerned about costs as any private company - and only make investments that have a strong probability of profitable return. But beyond that there is ample scope for controversy.
The surveillance committee has proposed, for example, the adoption of a flexible fare structure. On lossmaking local lines, it suggests, fares should be raised. But in those cities where JNR competes head-on with private lines - whose fares are about half those of the national railway - fares should be frozen.
JNR, in fact, already plans to scrap 73 of the most unprofitable local lines. But the committee wants to see 102 more dropped. It would like to have them taken over by the private sector alone or by joint ventures between private companies and local governments.
But such cuts immediately raise questions of public interest. Makoto Morikage , chairman of JNR's largest union, argues that the proposals for a different fare structure, as well as the scrapping of local lines and freight services, would ''deal a heavy blow to the development and culture of local communities'' - encouraging further population concentration in urban areas that are already congested and highly polluted.
While such questions are being debated, JNR is hoping to take the pressure off by cutting its costs and generating more revenue with the following measures: a freeze on hiring and a program of voluntary resignations and early retirements, which has cut the staff from in 1980 to about 340,000 today; promotion campaigns to encourage more use; diversification into new areas, such as telecommunications services (using the nationwide railway-telephone network); and redeveloping railway stations into office buildings, hotels, and department stores, emulating the profitable private railways.

Celebrate Irish Culture at the Ballyshaners' Annual Irish Festival — Music, Dancing, Food and More
It's almost time for the Ballyshaners' Annual Irish Festival. Thousands will gather in Waterfront park at the Potomac's edge to celebrate Irish culture and entertainment. There is an all day line-up of Irish music and dance. And there will be vendors around the park featuring food, Irish wares, crafts, and jewelry, plus community and commercial services.
This years festival Saturday, August 25th from 11 a.m. until 7 o'clock. The festival is actually a fundraiser for Old Town's Saint Patrick's Parade that takes place the first Saturday of March every year. Majority of funds are raised from the festivals beer sales as well as donations to the Ballyshanners. "Ballyshanners" actually means "Old Towners" in Gaelic. The Ballyshaners were founded in 1980 by folks that wanted to have a Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Old Town — next year will be the 38th year of that parade. So if you love Old Town's St Patrick's parade come show your support and enjoy the festival too.

|zram: Compressed RAM based block devices
|* Introduction
|The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram<id>
|(<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored
|in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
|good amounts of memory savings. Some of the usecases include /tmp storage,
|use as swap disks, various caches under /var and maybe many more :)
|Statistics for individual zram devices are exported through sysfs nodes at
|* Usage
|There are several ways to configure and manage zram device(-s):
|a) using zram and zram_control sysfs attributes
|b) using zramctl utility, provided by util-linux (email@example.com).
|In this document we will describe only 'manual' zram configuration steps,
|IOW, zram and zram_control sysfs attributes.
|In order to get a better idea about zramctl please consult util-linux
|documentation, zramctl man-page or `zramctl --help'. Please be informed
|that zram maintainers do not develop/maintain util-linux or zramctl, should
|you have any questions please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
|Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using zram.
|For the sake of simplicity we skip error checking parts in most of the
|examples below. However, it is your sole responsibility to handle errors.
|zram sysfs attributes always return negative values in case of errors.
|The list of possible return codes:
|-EBUSY -- an attempt to modify an attribute that cannot be changed once
|the device has been initialised. Please reset device first;
|-ENOMEM -- zram was not able to allocate enough memory to fulfil your
|-EINVAL -- invalid input has been provided.
|If you use 'echo', the returned value that is changed by 'echo' utility,
|and, in general case, something like:
|echo 3 > /sys/block/zram0/max_comp_streams
|if [ $? -ne 0 ];
|should suffice.
|1) Load Module:
|modprobe zram num_devices=4
|This creates 4 devices: /dev/zram{0,1,2,3}
|num_devices parameter is optional and tells zram how many devices should be
|pre-created. Default: 1.
|2) Set max number of compression streams
|Regardless the value passed to this attribute, ZRAM will always
|allocate multiple compression streams - one per online CPUs - thus
|allowing several concurrent compression operations. The number of
|allocated compression streams goes down when some of the CPUs
|become offline. There is no single-compression-stream mode anymore,
|unless you are running a UP system or has only 1 CPU online.
|To find out how many streams are currently available:
|cat /sys/block/zram0/max_comp_streams
|3) Select compression algorithm
|Using comp_algorithm device attribute one can see available and
|currently selected (shown in square brackets) compression algorithms,
|change selected compression algorithm (once the device is initialised
|there is no way to change compression algorithm).
|#show supported compression algorithms
|cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
|lzo [lz4]
|#select lzo compression algorithm
|echo lzo > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
|4) Set Disksize
|Set disk size by writing the value to sysfs node 'disksize'.
|The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes.
|# Initialize /dev/zram0 with 50MB disksize
|echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
|# Using mem suffixes
|echo 256K > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
|echo 512M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
|echo 1G > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
|There is little point creating a zram of greater than twice the size of memory
|since we expect a 2:1 compression ratio. Note that zram uses about 0.1% of the
|size of the disk when not in use so a huge zram is wasteful.
|5) Set memory limit: Optional
|Set memory limit by writing the value to sysfs node 'mem_limit'.
|The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes.
|In addition, you could change the value in runtime.
|# limit /dev/zram0 with 50MB memory
|echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
|# Using mem suffixes
|echo 256K > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
|echo 512M > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
|echo 1G > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
|# To disable memory limit
|echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
|6) Activate:
|mkswap /dev/zram0
|swapon /dev/zram0
|mkfs.ext4 /dev/zram1
|mount /dev/zram1 /tmp
|7) Add/remove zram devices
|zram provides a control interface, which enables dynamic (on-demand) device
|addition and removal.
|In order to add a new /dev/zramX device, perform read operation on hot_add
|attribute. This will return either new device's device id (meaning that you
|can use /dev/zram<id>) or error code.
|cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
|To remove the existing /dev/zramX device (where X is a device id)
|echo X > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
|8) Stats:
|Per-device statistics are exported as various nodes under /sys/block/zram<id>/
|A brief description of exported device attributes. For more details please
|read Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram.
|Name access description
|---- ------ -----------
|disksize RW show and set the device's disk size
|initstate RO shows the initialization state of the device
|reset WO trigger device reset
|num_reads RO the number of reads
|failed_reads RO the number of failed reads
|num_write RO the number of writes
|failed_writes RO the number of failed writes
|invalid_io RO the number of non-page-size-aligned I/O requests
|max_comp_streams RW the number of possible concurrent compress operations
|comp_algorithm RW show and change the compression algorithm
|notify_free RO the number of notifications to free pages (either
|slot free notifications or REQ_DISCARD requests)
|zero_pages RO the number of zero filled pages written to this disk
|orig_data_size RO uncompressed size of data stored in this disk
|compr_data_size RO compressed size of data stored in this disk
|mem_used_total RO the amount of memory allocated for this disk
|mem_used_max RW the maximum amount of memory zram have consumed to
|store the data (to reset this counter to the actual
|current value, write 1 to this attribute)
|mem_limit RW the maximum amount of memory ZRAM can use to store
|the compressed data
|pages_compacted RO the number of pages freed during compaction
|(available only via zram<id>/mm_stat node)
|compact WO trigger memory compaction
|debug_stat RO this file is used for zram debugging purposes
|per-stat sysfs attributes are considered to be deprecated.
|The basic strategy is:
|-- the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in linux 4.11)
|-- deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in linux 4.11)
|The list of deprecated attributes can be found here:
|Basically, every attribute that has its own read accessible sysfs node
|(e.g. num_reads) *AND* is accessible via one of the stat files (zram<id>/stat
|or zram<id>/io_stat or zram<id>/mm_stat) is considered to be deprecated.
|User space is advised to use the following files to read the device statistics.
|File /sys/block/zram<id>/stat
|Represents block layer statistics. Read Documentation/block/stat.txt for
|File /sys/block/zram<id>/io_stat
|The stat file represents device's I/O statistics not accounted by block
|layer and, thus, not available in zram<id>/stat file. It consists of a
|single line of text and contains the following stats separated by
|File /sys/block/zram<id>/mm_stat
|The stat file represents device's mm statistics. It consists of a single
|line of text and contains the following stats separated by whitespace:
|9) Deactivate:
|swapoff /dev/zram0
|umount /dev/zram1
|10) Reset:
|Write any positive value to 'reset' sysfs node
|echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
|echo 1 > /sys/block/zram1/reset
|This frees all the memory allocated for the given device and
|resets the disksize to zero. You must set the disksize again
|before reusing the device.

Jim Rooney is executive director of the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, which oversees the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in Boston's Back Bay, the 1,350-space Boston Common Parking Garage, and the MassMutual Center in Springfield. As executive director, Rooney oversees a $60 million annual operating budget, a $25 million annual capital program and about 210 full-time employees.
Rooney was named executive director in 2003 while also overseeing the construction of the Boston Convention & & Exhibition Center. Since then, MCCA bookings have exceeded projections, with conventions at Boston facilities now generating more than $500 million in annual economic impact for the Commonwealth and Greater Boston.
Rooney was recently named on the Boston Business Journal's 2011 list of the 50 Most Influential Bostonians and was twice named to Tradeshow Week's Power Pack as one of the top ten convention center leaders in North America. Rooney was also named 2008's Distinguished Public Administrator by the Massachusetts chapter of the American Society for Public Administration.
Under Rooney's leadership, in 2011, the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center and the Hynes Convention Center became only the 14th and 15th centers to be awarded gold standard certifications by the International Association of Congress Centers (AIPC).
Rooney is currently heading a new initiative called "Top 5" with plans to develop a 1000-1200 room headquarters hotel and to expand the BCEC in an effort to vault Boston into the Top 5 convention destinations in North America over the next decade.
Rooney previously served as director of development and construction for the MCCA, overseeing construction of the $850 million BCEC and the renovation and expansion of the $71 million MassMutual Center. The BCEC project was later hailed as one of the best-run public works projects in the country, and both projects were completed on schedule and within budget.
Before moving to the MCCA in 2001, Rooney served two years as chief of staff to Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. He began his public career at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, where he spent 18 years, starting as a track laborer while still attending Harvard College. He ended his MBTA career as deputy general manager. During the 1990's, Rooney also served in senior positions at the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority and the Central Artery Project.
Rooney sits on the Board of Directors of the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA), the leading convention and meetings industry organization as well as several non-profit community boards in the Boston area, including The Children's Trust Fund; the Boston Children's Museum, Friends of the Fort Point Channel and Project Bread/Walk for Hunger.
Rooney grew up in South Boston and attended the prestigious Boston Latin School, graduating as president of his class. He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard College and attended the Boston University School of Management. He and his wife Maryanne reside in Dorchester and have three children.
