It was all long exposures for me, using only a polarizer. Can't recommend this beautiful park enough as a great place to walk and take pictures.

Pulmonary function testing helps diagnose, evaluate and treat your child's lung condition. Conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy can affect your child's ability to breathe normally.
Your child's primary care doctor may request pulmonary function tests to determine your child's condition. Respiratory therapy specialists evaluate lung function with pulmonary function tests. They may also provide outpatient respiratory care therapies and education during these tests.
Pulmonary function tests are minimally invasive and can be performed on all age groups. Some tests are only suitable for children over the ages of 5 or 6, because they require patients to follow directions and cooperate in test performance. For this same reason, infants and children under the age of 3 may be sedated for certain tests. Depending on your child's condition and the number of tests required, pulmonary function testing may take between 10 and 60 minutes.
Before testing begins, a pulmonary function test specialist will measure your child's height and weight and explain the testing. He or she may even demonstrate the tests. Your child should wear loose clothing and running shoes for the six-minute walk and exercise tests. Your child's pulmonary function test results are usually available the same day.
Types of pulmonary function tests include:

A 48-year-old man facing a wounding charge has denied the allegation.
Paul Tom Adams of Clarke's Avenue, Bayville, St Michael recently appeared before Magistrate Kristie Cuffy-Sargeant accused of wounding Ricky Garner on March 29.
There were no objections to bail from prosecutor Station Sergeant Janice Ifill after Adams, a carpenter, entered a not guilty plea.
He was released on $6,000 bail after the two sureties he presented to the court were accepted by the magistrate.
However, as a condition of his bail, Adams must stay away from his alleged victim.
He returns to court on June 14.
In another case, this time before Magistrate Douglas Frederick, Shaw Stephen Marshall of Lot 80 Citrus Avenue, Lower Burney, St Michael had one of his three cases dismissed.
Marshall was accused of obstructing Police Constable Kevin Hinkson in the execution of his duties on June 2, 2015. That case was dropped when it was called up before the magistrate in the No. 1 District 'A' Criminal Court recently, while Marshall was reprimanded and discharged on charges of having an offensive weapon, a knife, on Swan Street, The City without a reasonable excuse; and selling on the same street without a valid permit to do so.
He had pleaded guilty to those offences, which also occurred on June 2, 2015.

I formed RGalen Consulting Group in 2001. It was an independent software development and testing consulting firm that provided training and consulting services focused on sharing my experience for client improvement. Even though I had many permanent leadership roles, I maintained and grew the practice with the intent to eventually focus 100% on my coaching and consulting.
The focus of our client improvements were around:
Organizational Leadership
Software Development & Delivery
Software Quality
Software Requirements, Planning & Execution
In the early days of the practice, I became "Agile" and that has permeated all of the above ever since. And not just agile in word or because it's a "hot topic". No! I've got agile in my bones, in my DNA, and I've been fortunate enough to be part of several companies where we changed the entire culture, not just technology.
Over the years, I've partnered with several firms to increase my bandwidth and ability to serve my clients AND have a broader influence than a sole proprietorship. They were:
Velocity Partners
and most recently, Zenergy Technologies
Now, I've decided to move on from Zenergy and begin a new chapter in my agile and client journey…

After I finished and configuring my HTML/CSS template for WordPress theme I suddenly figure it out on my google webmaster tools and google analytics that I have a multiple duplicates link to my WordPress Blog web site.
I found that every page of my website had index.html that turn into Page Not Found Error 404, it was a bad impression to SEO and the big factor to declined my search engine google traffic.
Redirect your URL pages can be done by your server-side scripts like PHP or any kind of web programming script but editing .htaccess is the easy way to do redirect all of your pages without touching your PHP code in WordPress.
Things to do you need to access your website control panel or Cpanel, access your directory root using FTP file transfer protocol or directly edit it on your Cpanel.
Navigate your WordPress website root directory files where you can find the "public_html" folder open it and find the .htaccess and click edit.
NOTE: Some of the Cpanel web server's are default hiding the .htaccess file.
In order to view the Cpanel hidden files, click the settings on the top right side.
Check the Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) and save it.
Now you can see the .htaccess edit that file and put the code something like this at the top of your .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?index.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
It looks like this
NOTE: It didn't work if you place the code above or in the middle in order to read it primarily put or place it at the top.
After you save it try to test some link pages in your browser, for example, "www.example.com/index.html" it will redirect to your main page URL "www.example.com" same to all of your pages.
This can till google crawler that all index.html link in your pages will redirect to the root page. Wait for a week to recrawl the google bot spider all your pages to index them in the search engine.
Happy blogging 🙂

I've been a heavy user of the Chicago Public Library for years. The 30-book-per-card limit sure has come in handy at our house, ever since the toddler days when our daughters couldn't get enough picture books in their diets. Hubby and I can't afford our own reading habits, let alone two more voracious readers. CPL helped us through the girls' easy readers phase and now the series fiction phase. I've never minded paying library fines (or library taxes). I just figure it's my way of supporting this venerable institution.
But CPL sent me a present anyway. Over the summer, I entered a contest at my branch and ended up winning the beautiful Encyclopedia of Chicago. Just in time for History Fair!

It takes a considerable amount of money to take good care of a dog. Dogs require quality food, health care, and general supplies that will vary in costs. Also, should an unexpected emergency arise, this can cost thousands so you might consider pet health insurance.
Spend some time to make certain your home is dog-proofed. Create a safe area to take a brand new puppy to the home. Place all medication and cleaning supplies away, and keep your indoor trash can in the cabinet. Ensure no toxic plants happen to be in the vicinity of the dogs.
Your dog needs annual medical exams. Obviously, dogs don't speak, so it may be hard to understand when they're having troubles making use of their bones or teeth. Taking your dog for any yearly checkup allows relatively minor problems to be detected before they become major issues.
Make sure to have your furry friend spayed or neutered. Your dog stands to savor a significantly better (and longer) life Doggy Day Care Cincinnati It's been verified through research this simple procedure reduces cancer risks and gives other benefits, too. A spayed or neutered dog is also unlikely to stray looking at the home, meaning it won't risk getting lost or winding up inside a street accident.
Your dog are unable to inform you exactly what is wrong, so just listen to his body language. For example, should your dog is hesitating, it is actually a bad idea to make him to approach somebody or some other animal. This can make the dog to bite. Pay attention to the posture of your dogs and permit them to place their time.
Never take your dog outside your yard with out a leash. There are numerous of distractions that could cause your dog to operate off in to a dangerous situation. You're liable for everything your pet does, and then for his safety. as well.
Do not force your dog to nibble on things.
When you have food or treats your pet dog is not going to like, let it rest alone. When investing in your dog you should spend some time along with it to understand exactly what sorts of things it enjoys.
Make certain your pet dog engages in sufficient numbers of exercise. Dogs need exercising and play time it's best for their mental and physical health. No matter what, whether throwing their ball or getting a long walk, you'll both take advantage of it. Furthermore, it grows your bond with the dog.
A lot of things are required from good dog owners. There is more to owning a fantastic dog than simply choosing an adorable puppy to create home. Having a dog requires one to be responsible when taking care of it. Take pleasure in the time spent with the dog now..

MILWAUKEE — Sixty-nine years ago the Yancey's were the first black family to join the downtown church at a time when there were no Lutheran churches in Milwaukee that offered services for African-Americans.
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran church has such a rich history in its 140 years on the corner of 9th and Highland Avenue.
Troy Yancey has fond memories of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.
"It was the church I grew up in. I went every Sunday unless I had the measles," said Yancey.
Troy recalls one Sunday in 1949 when her mother, Enid Yancey set out to find a church service.
"My mother took us to a church on 20th and North and they would not let her in. Because she was black and she had these black children," she said.
One closed door didn't stop Enid.
"So, she got on a bus and she saw a steeple and she decided to go to that church and they welcomed her. They welcomed our family," said Yancey.
Trinity became the first integrated Lutheran congregation in Milwaukee. The Yancey's have called the downtown church home for more than six decades.
Tuesday, Troy was heartbroken to learn her beloved church was engulfed in flames.
Unsure of what the future holds for the structure of Trinity, Troy has no doubt the church will rise above the ashes stronger than before.

Title V, Part B, Subpart 2: Rural and Low Income Schools
The purpose of this project is to:
meet the unique needs of rural and low-income districts by providing resources and flexibility to supplement selected ESSA priorities. It is a challenge for small and rural districts to have the personnel and resources needed to compete effectively for federal competitive grants, and formula grant allocations are sometimes too small to be effective in meeting their intended purposes. Funds received under Title VI must be used as required in section 6222 of PL 107-110.
Gilchrist County Schools are utilizing federal funds under Title V, RLIS to support supplemental, differentiated, data-informed instruction, as well as professional development, supplemental materials, and more.
Additional information regarding these services is available at each school site.
If you would like additional information on this year project, please contact your child's school. In addition, your school guidance counselor can provide you with some ways that you can be involved in your child's education and continue to help your child at home in meeting their grade-level expectations.

History of Online Blackjack
The first known game of blackjack took place in France, during the 16th Century. Back then, the game was known as Vingt-et-Un, which is French for 21. Historians believe blackjack is a derivative of two card games. The games are Chemin de Fer and French Ferme which were popular games of that era.
By the 18th century, blackjack had gained popularity. The game was played regularly in King Louis XV's Royal Court. This popular card game soon reached North America. French colonists introduced blackjack to America. The game was a bit different. During this time, a betting round took place when cards were dealt. Players would see the dealers second card. How the dealer's hands were played was entirely up to the dealer.
Madame Dumont
Blackjack became popular in America in the 19th century. A young woman named Eleanor Dumont immigrated from France to America. She was a skilled card dealer who made a living by playing card games. She settled in Nevada city and opened a gambling parlour named Vingt-en-un. Dumont had strict rules only rich men were allowed to enter her parlour. No women were allowed. Madam Dumont was known for her beauty, although her nickname was "Madame Mustache". Dumont had a line of hair on her upper lip. Men would come from different places just to play against this female dealer. Eleanor would keep the men coming back for more by flirting with them. However, she also kept her distance. Madame Dumont's business was extremely successful until the gold rush ended.
20th Century Blackjack
In 1931 the state of Nevada legalised gambling. 21 (blackjack) gained lots of popularity. To appeal to American gamblers, a new rule was introduced. The rule was to give players a higher payout of 10:1 with a natural blackjack hand. The new rules were removed shortly after. The game had a firm standing in the hearts and minds of gamblers in Nevada. The Nevada Gaming Commission created standard blackjack rules.
In the 1950s card counting in blackjack emerged. Players would count cards to get rid of the house edge. Casinos acted and made changes to the blackjack game. Casino added a second deck to the game. Soon blackjack was played with 4 card decks. Dealers would shuffle the deck when lots of cards remain in the deck. Despite all these changes more people were coming to casinos to play blackjack.

- Players should avoid going bust. A player has gone bust when their hand total exceeds 21, which is only possible after a hit.
- Players first receive their hand of two cards, facing up.
- The dealer then receives his cards, one facing up and one facing down.
- After calculating the value of the cards, they must decide what their next move will be.
- Players have two basic options; they can hit or stand.
- "Hit" is a request for another card.
- "Stand" is when a player is happy with their cards.
- Other possible moves are to split your cards or double down your bet.
- Dealers reveal their cards after the player has completed their round of hit or stand.
- The dealer aims to get anything higher than the player without going bust.

The amount of money a player has chosen to play blackjack real money with.
This is when a player has a "natural" 21. A natural is an instant win, only possible when a player has an Ace and a picture card.
When a total card count goes over 21.
Double down
An additional bet on top of your original wager to draw one more card. This bet is only possible at the beginning of a round when players have their two initial cards.
Face Cards
Another term used for cards with pictures on them. These include Jacks, Queens and Kings.
Requesting another card to add to your current card count.
This is an optional bet for players, offered when the dealer's one face-up card is an Ace. If the dealer gets a natural blackjack, you're covered. If they don't. You lose the insurance bet.
If you are dealt two cards with the same value, you can choose to split them. This will give you two sets of cards to hit on for a card count of 21.
If players feel their card count won't total 21 or might bust they can surrender. This will be at the expense of half of their original wager.

It Happened Here this month takes us to a Britain who's south coast in May 1944 resembled one huge army camp as over two million men waited for D-Day. In the Buckinghamshire countryside, the staff at GC&CS carried on feeding detailed and crucial intelligence to the Allied forces that would play an integral part in the success of the upcoming Operation Overlord.
The Western Front Committee was established at Bletchley Park in October 1942 and for the next 18 months built up a comprehensive picture of German forces in the West, recording every unit, its location and its strength.
From February 1943 the committee began to produce reports of which over 450 pages are now held in the Bletchley Park archives. Bletchley Park Research Historian, Dr David Kenyon uses these to illustrate how the various departments, using multiple sources, came together to create the vital information that the D-Day planners needed, in some cases even leading to last minute changes.

Disclosure and Charge Screening
Under Canadian law, a person charged with a criminal offence has a right to disclosure. Disclosure is the information in police and Crown possession that may be relied upon in any way to further their prosecution. Put simply, a person charged has the same right to evidence as the person prosecuting it. There are some very limited exceptions to what a person is entitled to in disclosure. Those limits are usually as a result of privilege, complete irrelevancy, or if the material is not in the possession of the Crown or police prosecuting the matter. The leading case on the matter that set the stage for disclosure in Canada is R. v. Stinchcombe. Since that decision, the law on disclosure has expanded into a highly technical and complicated area of jurisprudence.
There are also limits to disclosure when the offence is of a sexual nature and the material sought is highly sensitive such as therapeutic records. There are means to obtain disclosure that is not otherwise provided but it requires applications before the court often framed as a "third party records" application. These means are far too complicated to be discussed with any useful meaning here. There may also be instances where the disclosure is of such a sensitive nature (for example matters of national security, or obscene material and illegal pornography) that the prosecutor will only release the material to a lawyer who provides an undertaking to store and use it in a very limited manner. A person seeking any of this non-disclosed material is best served by retaining an experienced criminal defence lawyer to obtain the information.
What is disclosure, when do I get it, what does it cost, and what is in it?
Initial disclosure Disclosure is typically provided on the first appearance in criminal court. There is no fee for disclosure; however, if disclosure is lost, the Crown will often require a copying fee be paid for the inconvenience. Items typically found in disclosure include, but are not limited to:
- Police notes
- Witness statements
- Video or DVD statements or surveillance
- Pictures
- Forensic evidence
- Radio or 9-1-1 calls
- etc.
Once initial disclosure if provided, it is prudent to retain a lawyer so they may review it and request any outstanding items from the Crown. Your disclosure package is very important with sensitive material inside. Do not lose your disclosure and do not let anyone else look at it other than your lawyer.
Charge Screening: Indictment of Summary Conviction
When you receive your disclosure, there is often a "charge screening form" on the front of the package. This sets out how the Crown intends to prosecute the charges. There are two ways the Crown may "elect". The Crown may proceed by way of summary conviction, or by way of indictment.
To understand more about the difference between a "summary election" or a "indictable offence" you can visit our webpage on the matter here. In short, a summary election means the Crown considers it less serious and usually carries a maximum of 6 months imprisonment, although in some instances it may be up to 18 months in jail as a maximum sentence. If the Crown proceeds by indictment, they consider the matter more serious and will often afford the accused the right to a preliminary hearing and jury trial. A Crown election is supposed to be made as soon as possible; however, it is not uncommon for the Crown to hold off until the day of trial on some occasions.
Charge Screening: Plea Bargains and Early Resolution
In addition to the information on how the Crown intends to proceed, the prosector will also typically set out what sort of sentence they would seek in the event of a guilty plea. There are often two positions take on sentence that reflects if the person proceeds to trial, or if they plead guilty before doing so. Consideration is given to an accused who pleads guilty early and therefore receives what is often referred to as a "plea bargain".
However, the positions taken by the Crown do not necessarily reflect the best position a person may receive before or after trial. Ultimately, the issue of sentence is always up to a judge and not the Crown Attorney. It may be that the initial plea position offered is quite unreasonable in the circumstances and in speaking to an experienced criminal lawyer, they may help you appreciate whether it is a good deal or not, and more importantly whether to plead guilty at all: no deal is a good deal if a person can be acquitted of the charges.
Regardless of how the Crown intends to elect, or what the Crown's position is on the "plea bargain", this is always negotiable. There is nothing binding on the Crown to proceed one way or another simply because it is reflected on a charge screening form. Retaining a lawyer can assist an accused in ensuring that the best deal possible is worked out, or in the event the matter proceeds to trial, does so in the most preferred manner by the accused.

World Cup: Brazil, Netherlands in Quarterfinals
Brazil and the Netherlands advanced comfortably into the World Cup quarterfinals Monday, while anger simmered over refereeing blunders and FIFA's refusal to adopt video technology to eliminate them.
Brazil comfortably brushed aside Chile 3-0 at Ellis Park as the team pushes for a sixth title, while the Netherlands eased into the last eight with a 2-1 win against Slovakia. For Brazil, Juan and Luis Fabiano scored in the first half and Robinho finished off the scoring in the 59th minute.
"Chile played exceptionally well, they had a lot of possession of the ball," Brazil coach Dunga said. "But Brazil was able to have balance and control."
CBSNews.com Special Section: 2010 World Cup
CBSSports.com: World Cup Schedule
For the Netherlands, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder scored in each half. Slovakia's Robert Vittek scored with a penalty with the last kick of the match. Brazil and The Netherlands will meet in the last eight in Port Elizabeth on Friday.
The other remaining round of 16 matches - Paraguay-Japan and Spain-Portugal - take place Tuesday. Uruguay and Ghana were the first teams to qualify for the quarterfinals and they also meet on Friday.
Argentina and Germany qualified Sunday, but only after refereeing mistakes that FIFA is refusing to comment on.
A Day of Shame for World Cup Referees
FIFA spokesman Nicolas Maingot faced hostile questioning from reporters, but said it was "obviously not the place" to debate refereeing errors or the merits of video technology.
TV replays showed that England was denied a goal against Germany on Sunday when Frank Lampard's shot bounced down from the crossbar and over the goal line. Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda waved away the 38th-minute non-goal, which would have leveled the game at 2-2. Germany went on to win 4-1.
Later Sunday, Argentina's first goal in a 3-1 win against Mexico was scored by Carlos Tevez from an offside position, but was allowed by Italian referee Roberto Rosetti after he consulted his assistant. Mexico players protested to the match officials after seeing replays on a stadium giant screen, which showed the infringement.
Guus Hiddink called on FIFA president Sepp Blatter to step down if he doesn't introduce video technology.
"Sepp Blatter should announce tomorrow that video replay will be implemented or he needs to resign," said Hiddink, one of the world's most respected coaches.
The organization that represents players around the world also demanded that referees be given the most modern tools to do their job.
"We can do it, the football world wants it and yet it is still being thwarted. That is unacceptable," FIFPro spokesman Tijs Tummers said.
Blatter hasn't commented publicly since attending both controversial games, where he witnessed the refereeing errors. But he has strongly opposed introducing any video technology to help referees.
At least one Germany player called for new goalline technology.
"If there is a possibility to use good technology, such as goal cameras or balls with chips, then maybe it should be used," striker Miroslav Klose said. "I am not sure about video replays but if you have a chip in the ball that sends a signal to the referee's ear or beeps, then why not. If you can have it in other sports, why not in football."
German media hailed its young team and reveled in belated revenge for a disputed goal 44 years ago that put England on course for its only title. England famously won the 1966 final at Wembley 4-2 after extra time although the Germans remain convinced the second goal of Geoff Hurst's unique hat trick never crossed the line.
More bad news surrounding the England camp was revealed Monday. Five workers at the luxury hotel where England stayed during the World Cup were convicted of stealing cash, football shirts, a medal and underwear, police said. The five workers from the hotel near Rustenburg, northwest of Johannesburg, were sentenced to three years in prison.

Our priority is to help families find home.
Capital Region Housing is the largest provider of social and near market housing in the Edmonton area. We receive many applications every month and do our best to ensure we process them quickly and efficiently. Because we are governed by the Social Housing Accommodation Regulation, Capital Region Housing maintains a priority list rather than a waitlist. This means we offer housing and rent supplements based on priority and not on a first-come, first-served basis. The only exception to this is our Near Market Housing program.
The priority list is the list of all applicant households in decreasing order, from highest priority (point score) to lowest priority (point score). The priority list can change as a household's situation changes or more applicants are added. Capital Region Housing keeps priority lists for each building based on unit size for Community Housing or based on municipality for the Direct Rent Supplement program. Because the priority list is always shifting, we cannot tell applicants how long they will wait for housing or rent supplement.
Priority List Management for Community Housing and Rent Supplement Programs
Capital Region Housing maintains priority lists for each program based on the applicant household's point score. Applicants may select any or all programs and be on all priority lists. For more information on how the priority list is managed, click here. If you want to know more about point scoring, there is more information here.
Priority lists for Community Housing are separated by building and bedroom size. Applicant households must apply for the bedroom size based on the rules for who and how many people can share bedrooms. If you have any questions about this, please contact Capital Region Housing. Priority lists for Direct Rent Supplement are separated by municipality. Priority lists for Private Landlord Rent Supplement are separated by municipality, building and bedroom size.
The household with the highest point score on the priority list will be allocated the next available subsidy or home appropriate for the household size. In the event that more than one household has the same priority (point score), the household that applied first will have priority.
Applications for transfers within Community Housing will be placed on the priority list for the buildings they have selected.
Updating Your Application
It is important that applicants update Capital Region Housing if their situation changes because this may change their point score and their place on the priority list.
· If an applicant has the highest priority and there is an available home or subsidy, we need to be able to contact the applicant
· If Capital Region Housing cannot contact an applicant, we may cancel their application
· If you are concerned that it may be difficult to contact you, you can also provide a Consent to Release that allows Capital Region Housing to contact another person (such as an advocate or family member outside of your household) on your behalf.
Someone has moved in or out of my home, or a baby was born:
Please complete the Change of Household Information form
My income or a household member's income has changed:
Please complete the Change of Income form.
My contact information has changed:
Please complete the Change of Contact Information form
I have moved or my rent amount has changed:
Please complete the Change of Rental Information form
If the place(s) where an applicant wants to live has changed or they will need a larger or smaller unit, the applicant must submit a new bedroom listing (see below).
Removing Applications from the Priority List
Applicant households will remain on the priority list unless:
Mail sent by Capital Region Housing is returned unopened and there is no other means of contacting the applicant household.
Attempts to reach the applicant household by phone, email or via approved third-party contacts are unsuccessful after 3 weeks from the initial attempt.
More than one year passes from the last point of contact from the applicant household, or any person on their behalf.
The household refuses the offer of housing accommodation twice for no reasonable reasons in either the Community Housing or Private Landlord Rent Supplement programs.
The household is residing in housing that is not eligible for the Direct Rent Supplement program and informs Capital Region Housing that they will not move to housing that would be eligible.
The household asks to withdraw their application and be removed from the priority list.

Tuning the CometD timeout interval to optimize chat channels for mobile device activity and for notifications
When people use their mobile devices, they often need a longer chat timeout interval than they do for their laptops. For example you might start a chat and then:
- Lock your screen for a minute or two
- Switch to another application before you resume your chat
Given that the default value for CometD's maximum timeout interval is 15 seconds, these everyday patterns of mobile device usage can cause your customers to experience unexpected disconnections when you use the Web Engagement Chat Widgets in scenarios involving mobile devices. Although a 15-second timeout interval can be just right for dealing with unstable networks, Genesys recommends that you consider increasing this value to something like 120 or 180 seconds in order to avoid these mobile-related problems.
You can also adjust this interval in situations where your network is experiencing significant delays, since Web Engagement uses CometD as a channel for notification messages.
Tuning the CometD for multiple iFrames on a web page
The Tracker script receives real-time notifications only on the active web page. This is because, by default, CometD opens only one long poll session per domain connection, per browser. When GWE monitors the active web page along with one or more iFrames, either only the main page or only one iFrame receives notifications from the GWE server. The other instances of Tracker wait for an available long poll connection.
To monitor a web page that contains multiple iFrames, set the maxSessionsPerBrowser option to the number of iFrames on the web page.

April 3, 2018
– Employee Spotlight
The calendar has turned to April – for many of us, that brings the hope that our favorite baseball team will have a good showing this season. Since Investors Bank straddles two media markets (New York and Philadelphia) with long histories of baseball fandom, we thought it would be interesting to poll our employees on their team preferences and overall level of baseball interest.
Let's start with a high-level overview. Of the approximately 7% of our total employees that completed our survey, we had a 50/50 split of those working in corporate offices and branches. On a scale of 0-100, the level of baseball interest was 68. Respondents resided in the following locales: Northern New Jersey (40%), Central New Jersey (31%), New York City (12%), Southern New Jersey (11%), and elsewhere (1%). The New York Yankees were the most popular major league team (48%), followed by the New York Mets (32%), Philadelphia Phillies (8%), others (8%), and no favorite (4%).
Given the overall results, were there any surprises or anything of interest when delving deeper into the data? Breaking down the respondents by corporate or branch did not show any differing results, other than a noticeable decrease in the amount of Phillies fans on the corporate side (which makes sense given that our two largest corporate offices are in Central and Northern New Jersey). When looking at the different geographies, it was notable that those in Central New Jersey actually showed a propensity for the Mets to be the favorite team, and Southern New Jersey showed a preference for the Phillies, but that was to be expected. While Mets and Yankees fans were closely aligned in most of their responses, Phillies fans were easily the most passionate: 100% classified themselves as a "big fan" of their favorite team (compared to just 32% and 44% for the Mets and Yankees, respectively), and their level of baseball interest in general was 13% higher than the total employees. Phillies fans also had a much greater tendency to dislike the other teams in the survey. Likewise, the dubious honor of the most disliked team went to the Phillies (50%), while the Mets and Yankees were each disliked by only 24% of respondents.
As the fortunes of teams waver and as employees revolve, it will be interesting to see how these numbers change over time.

Despite more information than ever about alcoholism, DUIs and addiction in general, Americans are killing themselves with booze at rate not seen in the last 35 years.
The Washington Post reported this bit of Christmas cheer: last year more than 30,700 Americans died from alcohol-induced causes, including alcohol poisoning and cirrhosis, which is primarily caused by alcohol use.
That's an increase of 37 percent since 2002.
And that tally doesn't even include alcohol-induced fatalities, such as drunk-driving accidents and homicides. If those were included the annual toll would be closer to 90,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Alcoholism in recent years has been overshadowed by health experts focusing on the new wave of on overdose deaths from heroin and prescription painkillers. But in 2014, more people died from alcohol-induced causes (30,722) than from overdoses of prescription painkillers and heroin combined (28,647), according to the CDC.
There's no secret to why these figures have gone up, said Philip J. Cook, a Duke University professor who studies alcohol consumption patterns and their effects: Per-capita alcohol consumption has been increasing since the late 1990s.
But Cook doesn't take a swing at why more people are drinking. Is it the economic stress, longer work hours, advertising, football?
The School of Public Health at the University of West Virginia says people are coping with enormous amounts of stress in the modern age – stress the human body in its evolutionary past hasn't experienced.
"We live in trying times, and alcohol is seen as a way to alleviate our stress," the school states on its web article, Why People Drink. "Self-medication for other problems carries over to alcohol ingestion. Alcohol can ease physical and emotional pain. If the person who consumes alcohol is also using medications for pain relief, the effects of alcohol can be intensified."

We have a client that wants the calendar to show available appointments that they want to sell cheap like last minute appointments. They only want to show appointments for two weeks at the time in the monthly calendar view. Now im trying to add the following free appointments. timer 16. october kl. 0830, 1030, 1230 and 23. oct kl. 0900 og 1230. This means three available appointments on 16th and two on 23rd. I have tried to solve this by using two different workers (week1 and week2) with exceptions but it is not possible to show both workers in the same calendar. When using the no specific provider it shows all hours on both days.
So my question, is there a easy way to setup the monthly calendar to show these appointments for free – timer 16. october kl. 0830, 1030, 1230 and 23. oct kl. 0900 og 1230.?

Mamata has nexus with BJP: Bengal Congress president
Kolkata, May 2: West Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury today accused Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee of having an understanding with the BJP, and said it became clear today in the Rajya Sabha where her party fought alongside the ruling dispensation at the Centre against the Congress.
"The nexus between Modibhai and Didibhai (Mamata Banerjee) is clear now. In the Rajya Sabha the TMC is fighting along with the BJP against the Congress. They are raising questions on VVIP chopper deal.
Those, who themselves have indulged in rampant corruption, are raising questions," Chowdhury said adding "this proved where the TMC stood politically".
Addressing a meeting here to protest against "post-poll violence", Chowdhury said, "The TMC is questioning the integrity and honesty of Congress by toeing the line of BJP.
It was Congress which had ordered the probe in the VVIP chopper scam. What about the Saradha and Narada scam?" Chowdhury also criticised the TMC supremo for her yesterday's statement charging a section of police officials with "unleashing terror" on the people at the behest of the Election Commission.
"She will not like it when the police has performed its duties without being her sycophants. She is threatening everybody - Election Commission, police," he alleged.

I could have told you that, it's in the Bible
I enjoy it when I read a research paper in an academic journal which claims to give new insight into human behaviour and I'm able to say "I could have told you that, it's in the Bible".
In the book of Acts (20:35) St Paul says "the Lord Jesus himself said "it is more blessed to give than to receive" or as the Good News translation says "There is more happiness in giving than in receiving" or in another translation "more blessings come from giving than from receiving"
Writing in the Harvard Business Review Michael Norton says " whilst most people know they would benefit from expert help on how to make more money, they think they already know how to spend money to reap the most reward or happiness". We all think we know how best to spend our money without advice from others. We follow our intuitions and the promoting of advertising and use our money to buy things we think will make us happy.
The problem is that our experience and academic research both demonstrate that our intuitions about how to spend our money to bring happiness are misguided and wrong. Hence the maxim "money can not buy happiness" Those new TVs, cars, computers, clothing have almost no impact on our happiness. The good news is that we do know what kind of spending will aid happiness. You see the saying "money cant buy you happiness" isn't correct its just we don't know how to spend it. Spending our money doesn't make us happy because we spend it on the wrong things.
In his research Michael Norton of Harvard Business School repeatedly found that asking people to spend money on others from giving to charity to buying gifts for others reliably makes them happier than spending on themselves. He tried it in a number of ways and in different circumstances including people we would judge as being poor. Always giving and spending on others made people happier than spending on themselves. So convincing is this that some businesses have stopped giving their employees annual bonuses to spend on themselves but instead give them vouchers which they can use to spend on charities or others in need. They find the reward to their employees is greater.
With this being Offering October and remembering that it's better for me to give than receive I've been looking at what the Church of England has to say on giving. In a booklet called 'Giving for Life' they say.
"There is no shortage of biblical material on giving, with over 2,300 verses in the Bible on money, wealth and possessions. Jesus talked about it frequently, and over one-third of his parables relate to these topics. This material suggests generous giving should be:
a priority – assessed in relation to all of our income, and not simply the spare change after all other needs have been satisfied. (e.g. Deut 26.2-3, 1 Cor 16.2, 2 Cor 8.5)
prayerful – an act of worship and thanksgiving. (e.g. 1 Chron 29.10-14)
planned – but not prescriptive, and allowing spontaneous generosity. (e.g. 2 Cor 9.7)
proportionate – a realistic proportion of our income. (e.g. 1 Cor 16.2, 2 Cor 8.11-13)
given in community – both for the needs of others, and given with others for a common purpose. (e.g. Acts 2.42-47, 2 Cor 8.13,14). The act of giving shifts our focus from individual wants to a communal need, demonstrating solidarity with the poor and a commitment to working together in mission.
sacrificial – in that there is a cost to our giving. As a result, we will have less to spend on ourselves, and our lifestyles will reflect this. Those who have more to give, will give more (e.g. Luke 21.1-4, 2 Cor 8.2-4)
cheerfully and joyfully given – whether giving of money, time or hospitality, we give with grace from the heart, as an offering to God. (e.g. 2 Cor 9.7,8)"
I also came across what I considered to be a brilliant sermon on the benefits of giving by Stephen Foster one of the curates at HTB, London. I shared this with some friends from St Tom's and they agreed.
Offering October gives us a great opportunity to respond to the academic research of Prof Michael Norton of Harvard Business School but more importantly to follow the teaching of Jesus.

How To Trade Successfully On Forex- Two Simple Steps Process To Trade Successfully
Ability To Effectively Communicate With Your Forex Trading System
The first giant quantum leap in Forex trading income liberty and power, comes when you go mentally, emotionally and actively from a Forex demo trader, pips chaser, Forex holy grail seeker and Forex trading get quick rich scheme chaser to a Forex live trader who has a proven Forex trading system that has worked over time.
A Forex trader who seeks out for a life time-proven system that requires time, effort and patient for better and greater results.
Not one seeking for results fantasies and never seen before Forex trading holy grail system that could promise and deliver proven and lasting results over time.
''Most Forex traders focus on what they have or what they bought, but don't focus on how to use what they have or what they bought.''
Many people are so focused on what they have purchased, that they don't focus on what they do and their trading plan.
Let's say you are the owner of the best trading system in the world, you can help anyone, from (Demo)beginner Forex trader to (Live) professional Forex trader.
Is This A Valuable System?
Did You Answer Yes?
If you did then let me ask you if the system is truly valuable or the application of the system is valuable. To get a better focus on this, let's ask this question:
If you are the owner of the best trading system and you don't know how to use or apply your best system, and don't trade any live Forex account…
Is having the best system in the world helping you or any Forex trader you know?
So having the best Forex trading system in the world, doesn't mean a thing if you can't use it, or know how to use it by helping yourself and others solve their Forex trading problems, fill a trade need or accomplish a great trade goal.
Two Simple Steps Process To Trade Successfully
1. Get a great Forex trading system. Link to(CashForex Bullbear System)
2. Develop the skill to put the forex trading system to profitable use. Link (get my 2weeks Forex trading coaching)
Success Orientation:
Quick Quiz: 1
Why do so many Forex traders fail when the Forex Big Dogs come to town for seminars and new product launch?
1. Forex Big Dogs personal trading system and knowledge?
2. Forex Big Dogs high-quality trading system displays and attractive merchandising?
3. Forex Big Dogs results prove and testimonies?
4. Failure orientation of beginner forex traders?
All Forex Big Dogs really have to do, to dominate many Forex traders mind is to greatly announce their new Forex trading system launch, big trading results, testimonies around town, doorsteps and websites…
When this happens many ''Forex traders give up their Forex trading system and trading plan because they think the Forex Big Dogs trading system will be their next trading ''Holy grail'' that will control and dictate the Forex market trend every now and then.
Failure Orientation:
Failure Orientation Is When People Are Controlled By External Circumstances.
Next time you're bemoaning adversity, lack of resources or feel you need to confirm, these are signs of failure orientation.
Just ask yourself "where's the profit in that?" Successful trader, when faced with adversity see an opportunity, through creativity and action. Successful trader, when they lack resources become resourceful and look for new ways to use old items, systems, skills and people.
When everyone is trading to be the same, successful trader find ways to do the opposite and be unique. There's a reason is called a ''Unique Trading Proposition'' and not why I'm using the same trading system as everyone else''.
System And Trading Plan:
As a forex trader, if you aspire to a great trading career, it might be useful to carefully consider the foundation of all trading success ever recorded in Forex trading history.
What's meant by this is that a system and a trading plan are the life-blood of any great Forex trader.
Look at a couple of examples out there and see if you agree.
My Six Reasons Why You Don't ''Stick To Your Forex Trading System and plan'' And What To Do About ''It'' Now
1. No reason for confidence in "it": If you're creating a new system from scratch without a guide and you've got little or no experience about why this would work, then it's easy to lose faith in "it." To combat this, use a system you know that already works for others!
The most successful Forex traders often "swipe and deploy" ideas that are already working and get coaching, mentoring or hire someone to help implement this system in their career. You can also read books, buy courses, attend live events or hire consultants to learn and create these systems.
2. No Confidence In "Self": Your past does NOT equal your future!!! So many traders simply abandon plans because they've "failed" in the past. Once you abandon and truly grasp that your past failures are simply things you learned from and move forward, you will astound yourself with what you can accomplish.
3. Insufficient Reasons To "Stick To It": What is the best possible outcome of what you're trying to accomplish? Don't just write "make more money" or "save time" but write down what that money will do for you, or what you can now do with your extra time.
Then write down why you want that. Get to the reason behind the reason. Keep asking "what will this do for me" and then you'll know whether there's a reason to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish.
4. Too Hard To Do "It"- This is actually the best reason to do "it." Traders waste a lot of time and money trying to simplify something that requires a complex solution.
If to accomplish your goal it'll require 20, 30, 40 steps…how many other people do you think are going to take the time to create this system? You'll have given yourself a Forex trading asset that is almost impossible to replicate. So roll up your sleeves and start building and creating it!
5. I.N.I.'s:- Ignorant, negative, influences. The more traders you tell about your trading plan, the more traders you'll meet that will tell you why it won't work. Be careful about who you tell, because often traders with the least experience in what you're trying to accomplish, will offer the most advice or criticism. Get rid of these traders as advisors and instead seek out traders who've accomplished similar goals and have been where you have been who will provide educated positive insights.
6. Isolation:- The Forex trader is the loneliest person on earth. It's been said: It's hard to have courage in the dark by yourself! So what's the answer to this? Easy, don't go it alone. Get traders to come on your journey with you. You can take someone inexperienced but work towards the same goal or better yet, find or hire someone who knows the way and let them guide you!

Rangers abuse claim victim told to contact liquidators for compensation
A former youth footballer who says he was sexually abused by a Rangers coach has been told by the club he should pursue his complaint with liquidators.
The man claims he was abused within the Ibrox stadium by Gordon Neely who was head of youth development in the 1980s.
But the alleged victim has been told by lawyers for Rangers that the duty of care is not with the current owners.
They said that when the abuse took place Rangers were owned by a different company which was now in liquidation.
The man, who is in his 40s, was offered help in accessing counselling services, but no apology was made in correspondence from the club's lawyers.
Alleged abuser now dead
An email sent to the solicitors of David - not his real name - explained: "You will understand that there have been many changes affecting Rangers over the last several years.
"The company which owned Rangers Football Club.... which you refer to as owing duties of care to your client will have been the company then called The Rangers Football Club PLC and now called RFC 2012 Limited.
"That company is currently in liquidation but we do have the liquidators' contact details and can provide that information if it will assist."
Last year the BBC revealed a catalogue of alleged abuse by Neely at various clubs, but he died in 2014 before facing justice.
He was in youth development at Hibs in 1983 and then moved to a similar role at Rangers in 1986.
That is where he came into contact with 11-year-old David.
He spoke to the BBC about his boyhood dream of playing at Ibrox: "I came from a working class family to be invited in your full Rangers tracksuit and shown about the stadium, walking up the marble stair case. It was a huge, huge event for me and my family."
David trained at the club for three years, but he said his encounter with Neely in his youth would have a terrible and lasting impact on his life.
'My life basically fell apart'
He explained: "[An] injury I was carrying was having a detrimental effect on my game and I was basically summoned to Gordon Neely's room, within the confines of Ibrox.
"He asked me to lay up on top of like a blue medical table, sort of dark, dark blue and he started rubbing my thigh, even though my injury was my hamstring.
"That happened for a minute or two, discussing the in and outs of why I wasn't playing so well. He then asked me to stand up and bend over the medical table and take my shorts down."
David says he was then sexually assaulted by Neely.
He added: "I've racked my brain for years and years to think 'was this a normal thing to do?' Obviously I know now that it's not.
"My life basically fell apart that night. Everything changed, everything changed that night. The heart went out of me for playing football, academically I stopped doing so well at school."
Almost two years ago, David, who is a season ticket holder at Ibrox, spoke to a solicitor about the alleged abuse and was advised to make a claim against Rangers.
Rangers' lawyers said the club offered its "deepest concern", however, it made it clear that any compensation claim would be for the liquidators of the company which had previously owned the club.
David told the BBC: "My issue's always been that they may be a …different legal entity, but they're still the same club. And although they don't have the same maybe liability legally, certainly morally they're still the same club."
A statement from Rangers Football Club said they would "co-operate fully" with all those who had a "genuine interest" in seeking to protect children and "addressing the wrongs" of what had happened in the past.
'Cheap and nasty attacks'
It said that both the Scottish FA and Police Scotland had been informed of the matter.
The statement added: "It is vital matters are dealt with sensitively and with proper care and regard for those involved.
"We will not respond to questions that seek to turn allegations of desperate and deplorable conduct from three or more decades ago into cheap and nasty attacks on Rangers Football Club, and those of its employees who now have to attend to such difficult matters."
I'd like them [Rangers] to realise the impact that it's had and get an apology off them face-to-face. That's my real goal."
Pat Mair from Scottish charity Talk Now which counsels victims of sexual abuse has worked with adults who suffered in childhood.
She said: "The survivors are looking for acknowledgment, they're looking for communication with the football clubs where they were abused.
"The abuse happened at Rangers Football Club but they are not taking any responsibility and it's as if they're not accountable for it."
David said he wanted "someone from Rangers" to contact him so he could tell them his story.
He went on: "And I'd like them to sit there and listen to me and realise the impact that it's had and get an apology off them face-to-face. That's my real goal."
If you have been affected by this story, you can contact a number of agencies in Scotland including;
- Police Scotland on 101
- NSPCC helpline on 0800 023 2642
- Childline on 0800 11 11
- Talk Now on 01355 458272

My Old Apartment
I'm in my old apartment
where he walked me to the edge
a razor blade held to my neck
he pushed me backward malice on his face
I prayed that I be freed
God's intervention divine indeed
if not for His hand from above
my life would have ended
thrown from the ledge
the look that came over his face
as he walked away at a drugged pace
passed out from Vodka and cocaine
I stayed up too scared to leave
afraid he would awaken
threaten me more
I waited and waited
for morning to come
pretending to sleep as he left for work
I walked away that day not to return
till thirty years later
curiosity burned
I went to the ledge
peered over the rail
years of healing at last prevailed
I felt so minute when I looked down
blessed and grateful to still be around
when people say there's no God
I know that's not true
He sheltered my life and saw me through
showed me choices that would help me grow
away from a lifestyle I wanted no more . . .

Easter weekend was the most gorgeous spring weekend you could ask for, and the perfect weekend for Nicolas & Kayla's wedding celebration!
When we arrived at Gathering Oaks Retreat we found Kayla in the La Casita cottage, getting her makeup done by Callee Kelly. This cottage is the cutest bridal suite! And the big windows and large mirror made for some beautiful portraits of Kayla getting into her dress.
Kayla picked out her dress from Georgio's Bridal - a gorgeous, fitted gown, complete with intricate lace detail on the bodice and train. She looked stunning! Her daughter, Aubree, agreed, and it was adorable watching Aubree admire Kayla in her dress all day.
Before the ceremony began, we had to take pictures of the beautiful work Kathy Thorman with Before I Do had done. Her hanging baskets filled with soft purple and white roses, and a touch of macrame fringe, hanging from the arbor completed the bohemian garden vibe for the ceremony. All the tables were decorated with spring blossoms and lanterns, and the bridal bouquet Kathy made Kayla was so beautiful it brought Kayla to tears.
While it's always fun to admire the hard work our wedding vendor friends put into such beautiful weddings, our favorite part of our Sweethearts' wedding days is still noticing all the special little moments that happen. And being there to photograph them.
We'll never forget how in awe Aubree was of how beautiful her mom and dad looked on their wedding day. Nor how much love Nicolas & Kayla had for Aubree so obviously on their faces whenever they looked at her.
Nicolas & Kayla wrote their own vows to one another, and Nicolas even wrote vows to Aubree and shared them with her during the ceremony. It's little moments like those that are such an honor to photograph
We still laugh about how Aubree learned to count like Jason- "1, 2, 3, cheese!" -during all the family portraits, and how she even stood beside him directing her grandparents and aunts and uncles in photos. Kayla emailed us later to say Aubree had been playing photo shoot with her dolls since the wedding day, so we're looking forward to seeing her work in the future!
And when we snuck these Sweethearts out of their reception for some sunset pictures, we were able to photograph them with a Texas sunset in the sky and a field of cows behind them. It's the perfect image for them to hang on their wall in their new home in Alabama and remember the magical place in Texas where all their family and friends came together to watch them begin their life together.
Dear Nicolas & Kayla,
The only thing more beautiful than your wedding day is the love you share between you…and with Aubree. We pray for many more years of whiskey in mugs, loving glances at one another, and a close bond between you. We hope Alabama feels like home because you are all there together.
Love, J&M

Little Travellers is an independent travel website providing parents with an inspiring selection of family holidays. Travel is our passion, and when we started a family, we had no plans to give up our love of globe-trotting.
As parents of little ones, we ask exactly the same questions as you do when we're planning a holiday. Can I minimise the amount I pack by choosing a place that caters for babies and toddlers?

Busy parents often have limited time for holiday-hunting. So we're doing the research for you: finding you top offers on child-friendly locations, accommodation and hotels – as well as giving you ideas for things to do and see with your children.
Between us we have an extensive experience in the travel industry and management consultancy. We have lived in and travelled all over the world.
