I have Fundraising 1.0 installed from when we first joined the dev community. It didn't delay a payment in Sandbox mode. Will it delay a payment in live mode? We don't want money taken out of the users accounts unless the goal is met, which is what I thought the plugin did even back then.
Thank you.

ALBANY — The corruption trial of Joseph L. Bruno, the former State Senate majority leader, opened in federal district court here on Monday, with a who's who of state lawmakers and lobbyists expected to take the stand over the next few weeks.
Mr. Bruno, who led the Senate for 14 years, was indicted in January on charges that he reaped millions of dollars from companies seeking business from the state or from labor unions.
Both sides had time to make opening statements after jury selection was completed, and they presented vastly differing views of Mr. Bruno's conduct.
Elizabeth C. Coombe, an assistant United States attorney, said Mr. Bruno "exploited his official position for his own personal enrichment and gain" and often acted to "conceal and disguise" his many conflicts of interest.
The eight-count indictment accuses Mr. Bruno of collecting more than $3 million over a 13-year period, beginning in 1993, from several companies seeking contracts with and grants from the state, as well as contracts to manage pension fund investments for at least 16 labor unions. Mr. Bruno faces up to 20 years in prison if he is found guilty.
Ms. Coombe laid out a number of questionable episodes, including a deal that had a lobbyist paying Mr. Bruno $80,000 for a horse that was basically worthless.Continue reading the main story
But Mr. Bruno's lawyer, Abbe D. Lowell, called Mr. Bruno "a hard-working, honest public servant who was elected and re-elected 16 times" and said there were "no exchanges of any kind of official action for any payment."
Mr. Lowell, a high-profile Washington lawyer whose clients have included Jack Abramoff, said that Mr. Bruno vetted his various business interests with an array of lawyers who reviewed any potential ethical improprieties.
"There's not even a state ethics violation, let alone a violation of a federal felony," Mr. Lowell said.Continue reading the main story

The first Battlefield 3 trailer might have been exciting, but it didn't really reveal anything from the actual game. EA DICE has made up for it with a second trailer, which reveals a few brief seconds of gameplay. The new trailer has made it onto YouTube:
Assuming we are looking at genuine, real-time gameplay here, I'm impressed. We already knew the game is being built around a new engine, Frostbite 2.0, and is being designed chiefly for the PC, according to its executive producer, but that looks like impressive graphical fidelity. I'm getting the impression that this game uses more elaborate shader effects and higher-polygon geometry than other, similar titles like the Call of Duty series—just look at the smooth soft shadows, the light beams peering through those windows, and those character models. (Thanks to Rock, Paper, Shotgun for the tip.)

Club legend Osvaldo Ardiles has been confirmed as Spurs Ambassador on tour for their May 30 clash with Sydney FC at ANZ Stadium.
Ardiles is a former champion midfielder who played 311 games for Spurs between 1978-88 and was club manager during the mid 90s. He played a starring role in Argentina's 1978 FIFA World Cup victory.
"I am delighted to be coming to Sydney and meeting the many fans that Tottenham Hotspur has in this part of the world.
"I was a member of the last Spurs team to visit the city 30 years ago and I am sure that the current squad will enjoy the experience just as much as we did, taking on a strong Sydney FC side at ANZ Stadium in front of thousands.
"We will be staging a number of events aimed at engaging our supporters in the region throughout the visit, as we do wherever the Club travels on tour, and I am very much looking forward to being a part of this," he said.
Eight-times FA Cup champions Tottenham Hotspur will arrive in Sydney on Thursday 28 May, with Spurs playing in-form Sydney FC at ANZ Stadium on Saturday 30 May (7.30pm event commencement).
Highlights of the #SpursInSydney schedule include:
- An open training session at ANZ Stadium from 4pm on Friday 29 May, followed by a dedicated autograph and photo opportunity for fans. This event is FREE to all;
- A supporters' evening with Ossie Ardiles on the evening of Friday 29 May, to be hosted by OzSpurs, Tottenham Hotspur's Official Supporters Club in Australia, at a venue to be confirmed;
- Coaching clinics in Sydney, Central Coast and Wollongong. Spurs' Global Coaching Team will run a range of clinics for weekend participants, emerging talent and those less fortunate. Stay tuned for more information;
- Meet-The-Players opportunities: stay tuned for further details!
- AIA Cup Tottenham Hotspur v Sydney FC football classic at ANZ Stadium 7.30pm Saturday 30 May
The big game will be telecast live on the Seven Network to an audience of more than one million nationally, and broadcast to millions more throughout Europe. The two teams will play for the AIA Cup, with the leading pan Asian independent life insurance company AIA the official partner of Spurs' tour to the Asia-Pacific region.
More than 53,000 tickets have already been sold for the game, which is a jewel in the crown of an amazing week of sport at ANZ Stadium and a huge month of major events in Sydney this May.
Previously, the Sky Blues famously humbled David Beckham's LA Galaxy team 5-3 at ANZ Stadium, Sydney's Olympic stadium.
Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold said his squad was looking forward to taking on Tottenham Hotspur.
Arnold added: "It is fantastic that a legend of the world game in Ossie Ardiles will be coming to Sydney to support a fantastic football occasion.
"Ossie was an excellent player and is a World Cup winner, regarded by many as one of greatest who have played the game.
"I'm certain he and the thousands of fans who attend will enjoy a wonderful event."
Tickets are at family-friendly prices - from $39 for adults and $15 for children –available here

The Northern Federal Enterprise for Radioactive Waste Management, SevRAO, (Gremikha, Murmansk Region), which is an affiliate of Rosatom, carried out a unique operation to unload a liquid-metal-cooled reactor from the Project 705 Alfa nuclear submarine reactor compartment.
For the first time in history, the damaged reactor was removed with the fuel in.
The company said the operation had been successful. The 52-ton reactor filled with an anti-degrading agent was lifted by a bridge crane and placed into a special protective envelope.
The submarine reactor will stay in this vessel for about six months during which fuel rods will be extracted from the earlier sealed unit.

It used to be much bigger, his tent. A month ago it was impossible to walk on the sidewalk. Five gallon buckets, shoes, sleeping bags, bottles, trash cans, a broom, a grocery cart, clothes, kitchen appliances, items collected from the street. Then one day it all disappeared, and so did the man. Only a dark, mysterious stain remained. Gradually items reappeared on the sidewalk. A tarp. A cart. A bucket. Then one day blended into the litter, I almost didn't notice him sitting in a plaid button up shirt, cleaning his toes, red bites on his shins. He looked like something that shouldn't be in sunlight. I saw him but didn't really see him, reeled in by curiosity, deterred by fear and the social rule that it's rude to stare.
One night I approached his tent on 20th avenue, a couple blocks from my home, with a hot piece of pizza in hand, oil pooled in the center fold. I felt his presence and my guard flew up, afraid he'd say something or jump out at me. But then I felt him withdraw into the tarp not wanting to be seen, and I felt sorry. I thought about giving him my piece of pizza, but instead took a giant bite. That's not what he wants or needs, I told myself. Don't be petty.
As I walked home I thought about what I read on the internet about homelessness in Portland. The shelters are full despite Portland's effort to add more. There are problems with drugs, thefts, and fires at homeless camps. It's understood that at this rate it's not really a drug problem, it's a housing problem. New apartments are being put up all over Portland but none of them are for poor people. The increasing rent pushes working people to the outskirts of the city and those who can no longer afford it onto the streets.
Along the Willamette river and under its bridges are tent circles, homeless inspired neighborhoods, a subculture commune, if you will, with door to door trails kicked through a carpet of trash. I've seen homeless couples holding hands in lawn chairs, watching the sun set over the river. They aren't truly okay by society's standards, but at least it's not every man to himself. The more street junk they pile up into walls, the more security it provides. The lonely man on 20th had his security stripped to a mere tarp and cart. Before, he owned the sidewalk, but that power and protection, however flawed, is gone.
You don't need to read about Portland's homeless problem on the internet to find out it exists. If you live in the city, you know. Tourists take notice and have sent letters to Travel Oregon stating they're never coming back (KGW News).
The problem is expected to worsen when summer arrives. Since word has spread about Portland's acceptance of street camping, bums from surrounding areas will migrate.
Some homeless people live in their cars and spend their nights dodging tow trucks (Oregon Live). They collect recyclable products and deposit them for a nickle each, sometimes earning up to $7.50 a day. You know when a car is being lived in when the back seat is stuffed to the roof with cans. Homeless veterans sit at busy intersections holding a sign, anything helps.
Sometimes homeless people blend into society. The fashion choices of Portland folks makes it difficult to distinguish hipster from homeless. On Funday Monday, for example, homeless people make up probably three percent of the crowd. You might have a young shirtless man in patchwork shorts and blonde dreaded hair approach you at the park and start talking to you like normal. It's not until you notice his teeth are rotten and he's not making sense – the slurred affects and delusions of a drug much harder than weed – that you realize this man is unsafe. In an escalated moment his hand's on your bare leg and you're pushing him off.
As politically correct people try to be about homelessness, that doesn't change the fact that most people do nothing. Most of us look the other way or pass silent judgments, however involuntary. Motivated by fear and a desire to keep unseeing, to keep the most visible problem in Portland under our radar rather than crawling all over our skin, we passively avoid. But the moment a dirty homeless man puts a swollen hand on your leg and murmurs what he wants to do to you, all the political correctness in the world won't save you. It's no longer the city's problem, a problem of capitalism and social injustice you could fluently articulate thanks to your liberal arts degree – it's your problem, and there is no room for the benefit of the doubt. The livable balance between keeping your distance and remaining an understanding, politically correct person shriveled up and died the second it got real. Judgments, accusations, stereotypes, sound inside like a fire alarm. He's a drug addict, a bad man, a rapist, etc.
I spotted him a few nights later in a sleeping bag on the sidewalk with a toothless woman between his legs.
It's estimated that 4,000 people sleep on the streets in Portland. And that's just on the street, not counting shelters and cars. Last fall Mayor Hales told policeman to stop bothering homeless and let them sleep on the street. Protesters popped up outside City Hall accusing and shaming Mayor Hales for his decision (HuffPost). These protesters were homeless advocates angered by the Mayor's decision to ignore the problem. Letting homeless sleep on the street doesn't make the city safer for the homeless or anyone else. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
So every day I walk by the lonely man on 20th and try to fathom the life of someone completely unfathomable to me. And even though every day I fail and do nothing, I continue to wonder what Portland will become, how it will wiggle its way out of this mess. It's an interesting time to be living here, watching the struggle with my own eyes, feeling the energy of a city living by the skin of its teeth. And if nothing else, I am thankful for having a roof and a door and a key and a lock and a job to pay the bills every month on my own.

Whether you're tackling corrugated roads, rough terrain, or planning to tow a caravan across the country, you can't go past a TJM XGS Series 4000 Suspension Kit to improve every aspect of your drive. You'll be equipped for a smoother, more comfortable ride while also improving road handling, braking ability, noise and vibration.
4WD's have factory engineered suspension, but it's usually only enough to accommodate a boot load of gear and general road driving or limited off-road driving. Installing a set of shock absorbers, a pair of springs or a full TJM XGS Series 4000 suspension kit will immediately transform your vehicle's ride handling, load carrying and towing capabilities. Don't forget to chat with your local TJM distributor about your individual suspension needs.

Clovis News
Vehicles with Arizona plates sought in robberies
Fresno County sheriff's investigators are seeking the public's help in finding a white Jeep Cherokee and another vehicle, both with Arizona plates, in connection with recent home-invasion robberies in the region.
Sheriff's spokesman Chris Curtice said investigators don't know whether the vehicles are tied to the robberies, but "we are not ruling it out."
The first robbery was in Clovis on Feb. 24. Three took place last week -- in Kerman on March 15, in rural Selma on March 16 and in Fresno on March 17. Cash, jewelry, an SUV and other property were taken. Some victims were tied up. No one has been injured.
In some of the robberies, the suspects wore similar clothing, carried similar weapons and acted in the same manner, Curtice said. Investigators have concluded the Fresno and Selma cases are unrelated. Investigators are trying to determine whether the other crimes are connected.

Our kitchen pantry was a disorganized disaster. I stuffed lunch boxes in the upper shelves, our kids housed their leftover candy in buckets, and I stuffed cardboard cereal boxes where I could fit them. It is a small pantry, its width is right around 24". Originally we considered working with the wire shelving, but my husband and I decided to improve the function of the space with deeper wood shelving and 2 u-shaped shelves along the top.
This kitchen pantry was a "long weekend" DIY project. We started it on a Saturday night and finished it on Tuesday (with breaks!) My husband designed and installed the shelving. I painted the walls and stained the wood shelves. I also installed new rubbed bronze hinges & door knob because it seemed like the right time to remove the shiny 1990s brass. All in all we gave our kitchen pantry a makeover for under $300! That price includes construction supplies and organization supplies (article on that here).Read More

5 Quick and Dirty Instagram Tricks
I don't know about you, but I love quick tricks that cover a lot of ground. They're simple and easy, but still effective and helpful. We also love using Instagram and tools to manage it. So, today we're giving you our 5 quick and dirty Instagram tricks that will help you streamline your effectiveness on this social outlet.
Scheduled posts are great because they help you batch a task, streamline your process, and not forget the important post you need to add in a couple of days. One of the best schedulers for Instagram is Later, you upload and schedule your photos then they send you a notification when it's time to post! Simple as that. One of our favorite features one this app is that you can upload all of your images so you don't have to download and save each time + it tells you which images you've already used.
Hashtag Trick
This is probably our favorite trick on here because it lets you get the most out of hashtags without bombarding your audience. You simply save a note with the hashtags you want to use on your device you'll be posting with and add five dots above it, these dots will then hide your hashtags when you add them. We usually add them as a comment after our caption. Below is an example and the template for this trick!
Hashtag Template: Copy + Save Your Favorite Hashtags
#hashtag #hashtag #hashtag #hashtag
Using Premade Templates
Pictures are fun and of course the lifeblood of Instagram, but sometimes you need a good graphic to let your audience know what's going on. While graphics are a fun change from photos, sometimes it can be exhausting to create especially if you aren't a designer.
Luckily, there are premade templates available so you can add in what you have to say, adjust colors and fonts, and show off your brand on your feed in a new way! This is a simple way to share a big announcement, promote a flash sale, or spread your message without having to wander into the depths of the nearest forest for the perfect shot. We have several templates for creatives, photographers, small biz owners, bloggers - something for everyone!
Our Favorite Photo Editing App
Like we mentioned above, photos are Instagram's thing so a good photo editing app is essential. One of the best (+ free) apps is VSCO. You can add filters, save your favorite filters, and adjust the photo's settings. They do have extra filters you can buy and they are well priced (as in a whole collection for $3.99 or less)!
Tracking Engagement
So you've put in a lot of work into streamlining your Instagram process and creating beautiful content, now you might be wanting to see how it's working out for you! Tracking engagement and determining the best time to post your content is important for any regular Instagram user. For this trick, we recommend Iconosquare. It's a great tool to track engagement, analyze your content, and even manage comments + a whole other bunch of uses.
You now have a whole toolset just for your Instagram account, take your time getting to know each tool and how it can be of best use to you. Don't overwhelm yourself, because we know it's easy to do! We use these tools to manage, track, and streamline our account but it didn't happen overnight. We've adjusted things to work for us. Any tools you love for your Instagram account? What struggles are you facing when trying to manage it?

I have pcos and haven't had a period in a few months . My husband and I are trying for a baby . I've had symptoms of pregnancy ; fatigue , swollen feet , nausea , and painful TMI nipples . I took a pregnancy test came out negative . I spotted thinking it could of been implantation bleeding then the next day it was like a normal period . Losing my mind trying to get pregnant , she's I test again just in case or was it just a period out of nowhere .?
Hi Hun I also have pcos and i am 8 weeks pregnant! I had all of this because I was trying for a baby naturally I got all the signs but finally it did come up with not pregnant! Wasn't until the doctors put me on tablets to get pregnant! Used to have saw boobs and everything then it was just my period coming, did they say you ovulate? Because people with pcos at times can't ovulate without help? What's your cycles like?xx0
It's so strange because you sound just like me in the post Like a year ago, I always used to think I was pregnant I must of brought 100s of tests!!!! I hate having pcos luckily the hospital helped me and I fell pregnant straight away taking tablets0
Having pcos is depressing ! My periods are very irregular . I haven't had a period in years if I did it was maybe once a year . I started taking birth control to regulate my periods which worked I had a 28 day cycle around the same time every month . I then stopped taking birth control after a year to see if my periods would come naturally unfortunately it stopped my period all together once again . I don't ovulate but I get pregnancy symptoms , every time I take a pregnancy test it's negative. With all the doctor visits and medications it's pretty pricey . I wish my body did what it had to do .0
You are just like me!! Last year I didn't have a period in like a year, the hospital give me provera and it made me come on my period and clomid to make me ovulate and the month I took it was the month I fell pregnant!

Tim Hennessey
As a Rutgers alum and former Rutgers wrestler, I am humbled and proud to see the progress of the RU wrestling program. The SKWC has helped Rutgers wrestling become a household name at a national level and the envy of many other programs. The tireless efforts and fundraising by the SKWC, has allowed our student athletes to wrestle internationally, afforded them the opportunity to see the world, and has brought the best resident athletes and coaches to NJ. We have come so far, but there is still more work to be done! Get on board with the SKWC. #RelentlessPursuit
Ken Theobold, 2017 NCAA All American
The SKWC is pound for pound the best organization in the country that supports college wrestlers. The SKWC helped me build a resume of skills enabling me to use the motivation that I had on the mat and apply it to my career. I value the support the SKWC gave me as a wrestler and now I am involved with the Mentoring program giving back to current wrestlers. The SKWC ensures that Rutgers wrestling is not for college days alone. It is a lifelong membership. Please support the SKWC. Go Knights!
Ron & Diane Shimanowitz
We donate to the SKWC because we want to help build a financially strong wrestling club. It is the lifeline to all successful, top level wrestling programs. SKWC provides an invaluable elite level of training along with other significant support that our RU Wrestlers need to be successful on & off the mat. Go Knights!
Doug Dolan
Supporting and being a board member of the SKWC has been one of the highlights of my Rutgers Athletics experience which now stretches 40 plus years including 9 years in Athletic Development and 4 years as Touchdown Club President. No other Rutgers sport has allowed me to see such a direct tie to success in both competition as well as in life. The teamwork with our coaches is second to none. Our mentoring program helps propel our student-athletes into success in life. The Board of the SKWC is a team that works together in many areas to help maximize the success of our wrestling family. The best is still yet to come as we build champions both individually and as a team both on and off the mat.
Timothy M. Burklow
As an avid fan of anything associated with Rutgers, I am all the more passionate about Rutgers Wrestling and the SKWC. I find myself surrounded by like-minded individuals who are driven to achieve great things in all facets of life. As a member of the SKWC, I developed relationships with many extraordinary people and student-athletes over the last decade… and I am confident I will continue to do so for many years to come. This organization is a win-win scenario… an opportunity to share your time and resources building something worthy of your best effort, while enjoying the comradery and success of all involved in a premier Big Ten wrestling program.

Loaning money to your kids can be a great planning maneuver. It is critical that you follow all the formalities to avoid nasty surprises. In the recent Tax Court decision in the case of Christopher DeFrancis and Jennifer Gross it was the borrowers that got the nasty surprise. They borrowed $427,333 from Jennifer's mother, Joan Gross, on January 1, 2003. They signed a note and a mortgage. The mortgage was on their residence in Northampton, Massachusetts (A lovely city by the way). They had purchased the residence in 2001 for $365,000. In 2008 the taxpayers signed another mortgage to TD Bank for $200,000.
During 2009 the couple paid the bank $1,138 and Joan Gross $19,230. They deducted $20,368 as home mortgage interest. The IRS disallowed the $19,230. The IRS did not raise an issue about how the money was spent. In order for all the debt to qualify as home mortgage indebtedness, the couple would have had to have made some improvements to the residence, but nobody was making an issue out of that. The other big requirement to qualify as deductible home mortgage interest is that the indebtedness:

The Dubai property sector has seen a large investment from Pakistanis.
Now, Pakistanis are among top 10 investors in the Dubai property sector. The UAE will remain a speculation center point for Pakistanis who consider the Emirate second home and see enormous potential to extend their business in the locale.
Investors from Pakistan would keep on investing in the UAE's land, vehicle, retails, SMEs and different areas notwithstanding the Pakistan government's endeavors to bring back Dh550.5 billion ($150 billion) worth of fluid and enduring resources held by its nationals abroad.
Pakistanis are among top 10 investors in Dubai property incorporating enterprises in free zone and terrain. As indicated by Sultan Butti canister Mejren, executive general of the Dubai Land Department, Pakistani ventures surpassed Dh57 billion through 46,058 land speculations made by 32,083 investors in the previous 10 years.
However, this positions Pakistani investors among the most astounding putting remote nationalities in Dubai's land area. This underscores the appeal of the speculation alternatives that Dubai offers Pakistani speculators, particularly with regards to exceptional yield on venture and the safeguarding of land rights.
Pakistani investors have found numerous one of a kind open doors in Dubai property, including the sheltered condition it offers for living, working and tourism, which reflects Dubai Land Department's endeavors to position Dubai as the world's head land goal and a dictum for development, trust and satisfaction.
Just about 1.4 million Pakistanis live in UAE and around 3.5 million in the Middle East. Due to non-accessibility of freehold status in other Middle East nations and high tax-exempt lease returns offered in UAE, Dubai is the significant fascination in put resources into land. Additionally, a lot of venture choices in property, simple proprietorship exchanges, solid rental wage without impose and higher thankfulness in rental returns are the key factor of interest in land of Dubai by Pakistanis.

Client: Badminton Canada
Project: Brochure and Postcard to hand to potential donors
Our goal was to create an engaging and interactive brochure. As the brochure unfolded [ the triangles you see in the first image unfold from the centre ] it created a unique experience for the beholder while telling a story about the success of badminton in Canada.
We created a matching postcard, the same size as the folded brochure, that doubles as a mail in for donors.
Both were small enough for someone to put in the pocket of their suit jacket.

Coding is a prized skill in today's business environment and software developers proficient in multiple programming languages are highly valued by organizations for their ability to help businesses go digital and carry out vital business functions. But, there are hundreds of languages, each with their own specific use -- from data analysis, to scaling, and everything in-between. This can make deciding what language to learn next a tough decision for many developers.
Fortunately, picking the one that pays the most is a simple way to make that choice.
Stackoverflow analyzed responses from over 56,000 individuals to find out which programming languages are associated with the highest salaries, both around the globe, and in the USA.
Here's what they found…

South Sudan spends millions on cars, homes instead of peace
JUBA, South Sudan — South Sudan's committee overseeing the fragile transition from civil war has approved almost $185 million in spending on vehicles, food and home renovations while the country's peace deal suffers from an alleged lack of funds, according to internal documents.
As the East African nation emerges from a five-year conflict that killed almost 400,000 people and displaced millions, experts warn that the government's lack of financial transparency will gut the confidence of international donors who have been encouraged to donate to the peace transition fund. Some already have; Japan has given $1 million.
The internal government documents show that on Nov. 5, two months after warring parties signed the peace deal, the committee that includes government and opposition representatives authorized payments for 1,000 vehicles and food including 50,000 tons of sorghum to be delivered to the capital, Juba, and President Salva Kiir's home state of Bahr el Ghazal.
The documents also show that in December and January the committee authorized more than $135,000 to renovate the homes of first Vice President Taban Deng Gai and the late revolutionary leader John Garang.
The authorizations reveal yet more tensions under a peace deal that calls for the formerly warring sides to knit together into a single, functional government by May. That's when opposition leader Riek Machar is expected to return to South Sudan to once again become the president's deputy — an arrangement that has collapsed in fighting in the past.
Local activists called the committee's spending habits disturbing in a country where the economy has long collapsed and where South Sudan's government says 1.5 million people are on the brink of starvation.

Gatekeeping, Goal Posts, and Human Rights
If you do not find the human rights argument enough to argue against calling people animals, even if they are gang members, here's another way: ICE has been claiming the people it brings in are MS-13 members because that's the easiest way to get someone held without bail. It is clear that in many cases they are making up the association, and some judges have begun to call them out on it.
It doesn't matter if the president was talking about MS-13 when he called immigrants "animals" (it's not entirely clear to me, after reading the transcript, why people arguing that he wasn't painting with a broad brush) or that the White House is releasing statements calling MS-13 animals. Federal agencies, under the direction of the administration, are treating MS-13 and undocumented immigrants as synonymous in order to increase the sense of threat while giving themselves the excuse to treat human beings with impunity.
So there you go. Human rights should have been enough, but if that's not enough, the rest really should be.
Capital's Turn
The push to dismantle the federal government by billionaires and privatize its services is an indirect admittance that they have no real hope in new inventions to "diversify" their "portfolios." There is no terra incognita left, no major technological developments that will make them more money, or the developments that *could* come won't make the returns on investment that these companies have become used to and they are therefore uninterested (see: the Goldman Sachs exec who said curing disease wasn't a viable longterm investment opportunity because the cured don't pay anymore money for treatment).
Essentially: capital has gobbled up the whole world, and the only way to feed its insatiable growth is to sacrifice governing systems on the altar of prosperity so the bones can be picked clean.
What the plan is after that final devouring? It will almost certainly turn to people, as humans are about the only thing on the planet that are continuing to grow and feed the giant machine, as we are killing or depleting everything else. Time will tell how dystopian the shift to "human capital" will become, but if the governments are defanged, if not completely coopted, there isn't going to be anyone to protect people from the worst impulses of an unbridled system.

There is a type of mental illness, occurring on its own or compounding the illnesses that already exist, that is solely generated by the daily, constant attempts at reconciling contradictions in the world and the breaking down of that internal machinery over time.
I think that is partly why so many people resist acknowledging injustices and spend so much time either ignoring them or giving self-certain and reductive answers as to why they exist. When you embrace the world's contradictions, they don't heal you. You become some sort of better, but you never feel well.

It is uncomfortable to listen when I think I know the answer, but I choose discomfort over spiritual death.
Listening means truly hearing and truly understanding, and it means watching for the truths that challenge the ones I thought I knew and not resting until I have wrestled and reconciled completely with the new truth - whether it be a truth that replaces, a truth that displaces, a truth that modifies, or a truth that mixes and fuses and transforms - and its implications for life and living. Listening means being ready to change and grow when the chance presents itself. Listening means never dismissing without testing for a spark of new meaning, and it means tending to sparks that show themselves until they are fires that burn, give off heat, and give me a chance to see in a new light.
On the days that I am having trouble making the choice to listen, being oriented towards listening means I will be able to catch myself in that indecision, and it means I will understand my resistance to listening is a projection of my own disquiet and insecurity and is not a reflection of the rightness or the correctness of my own positions. On those days, resistance to listening is being off-balance, being off my footing and unable to catch the weight of something new, afraid it will break something in my sense of self. On those days, I will do what it takes to get my balance back, to be secure in my core, to be able to make the choice again.
My Lenten endeavor is to build myself up as a better listener, to remember everyday when I open my eyes that the choice is truly as stark as a kind of life and a kind of death, and to carry that through the rest of my life.

Big transit news continues to roll out of Chesterfield County! The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that County staff have asked the state's Department of Rail and Public Transportation to conduct a public transit feasibility study on the Jefferson Davis Highway corridor. Last year, the same state agency helped put together the Greater RVA Transit Vision Plan which recommends a frequent bus route down this very corridor. This new study should include much more detail—stuff like stop location, frequency, service span, and construction/operation costs. We could get a look at the study (fingers crossed) by the end of the year.
Citizens of Henrico! GRTC has announced the public meeting dates for the update to their Transit Development Plan—the County version of the Richmond Transit Network Plan. You've got three opportunities to weigh in on the coming changes to transit in Henrico County: Thursday, October 5th; Monday, October 16th; and Thursday, November 2nd. All of these meetings have the same content, so no need to attend all three.
This excellent piece at Governing.com about bus network redesigns is totally worth your time. If you're new to Richmond's bus network redesign (the above mentioned Richmond Transit Network Plan), this is a great place to start.
Amazon is looking to build a new headquarters and has put out an RFP for hopeful cities (PDF). One of their core site requirements is "direct access to rail, train, subway/metro, bus routes." The Richmond region should take note! We need to continue to improve our transit network so the region remains a competitive and attractive place for both employers and employees.
The Nashville area is already a couple steps ahead of Richmond in the work to dramatically improve their regional transit system. Moving Foward, a transit initiative out of the Nashville Area Chamber, seems like a good blueprint our region could follow.
If you'd like to support RVA Rapid Transit's work to bring a truly regional transit system to Richmond, consider picking up an awesome transit map T-shirt or making a tax-deductible donation.

Weight Loss Challenge
How did you do this week. I stayed the same on my scale weight. But with the challenges of the Holiday I am going to look at it a success. Let's get right back into the swing of things and start doing what we know we need to do.
Thoughts That We Think
Visualize and say what you want out loud right before bed every night. It is like auto suggestion or self hypnosis. You will get what you focus on!
Foods that we Eat-
You will reach your fat loss and muscle building goals faster if you eat smaller amounts of protein in small meals throughout the day.
More protein in one setting does not mean more muscle.
If you are working out you need more protein than people who are not working out.
Average amount of protein in each meal should be:
If you weigh 150 lbs. or less 15 -25 grams per meal
If you weigh 150 lbs. to 175 lbs. 25 - 35 grams per meal
If you weigh 180 lbs. and up 40-50 grams per meal
These are only approximations and you should listen to your hunger level to adjust amounts up or down. If you are eating every 3 hours and you are very hungry when meal time comes around, try uping the amount of protein.

To the Editor:
Re "Lung Transplant Rules for Children" (editorial, June 13):
The medical community is examining the rules for lung transplants in children. But how people look at organ donation must also change. The families of two seriously ill children felt that they needed to sue to be fairly considered for lungs from adult donors. But if there were more donors, these children might have gotten new lungs long ago.
About 118,000 people are on the national organ waiting list, and more than 1,600 people are waiting for new lungs. Only a few are children under 12. Despite the ease of becoming an organ donor, less than half of the adults in the United States are signed as donors. In New York State, only 20 percent of adults are signed organ donors.
Volunteering to be an organ donor is easy. In many states, it is part of a driver's license application. So who can stop this from happening again? Every one of us.

text: With so much buzz about protein lately how can you know which protein is right for you? Well, there are different proteins available designed for different purposes. Derived from the Greek word "prota," meaning of primary importance, protein is an important building block that aids in the growth, maintenance, and repair of muscle tissue. Essential parts of organisms, proteins participate in every process within cells. Proteins are vital to the metabolic process. Whey protein is a dairy protein present in cow's milk or obtained as a by-product in cheese manufacturing. Providing quick nourishment to muscles, whey protein furnishes the body with high levels of essentials amino acids (EAAs) and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Plus, it helps build muscles and enables them to recover quickly after stress. Egg albumin, commonly known as egg whites, contains no cholesterol, is fat-free, and low in calories. Containing more than 8 types of protein, egg albumin is considered a "perfect protein" because it contains all the building blocks of life (protein, minerals, vitamins & good cholesterol). In addition, egg albumin is an easily digestible and absorbable protein that contains all the essential amino acids required for optimal recovery after intense muscle building workouts and supports lean body mass. Building Blocks Protein contains both whey protein and egg albumin. This high quality, lean protein powder contains 110 calories, 20 grams of protein, less than 2 grams of fat and 4-6 grams of fiber per serving, as well as an assortment of vitamins, minerals and amino acids for overall health. About 90% absorbable, Building Blocks Protein is time-released for maximum benefit. It aids in muscle cell recovery after workout, builds lean muscle mass, and promotes growth, maintenance and repair of muscle tissue. Rx Meal was designed as an ideal meal replacement high in protein. Featuring a complete balance of protein (from whey and egg albumin), carbohydrates, and fats, Rx Meal is a perfect compact meal for people who live their life on the move! With an array of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, Rx Meal is low in sugar and cholesterol and mixes easily and conveniently in Supplement Rx shaker cups. To design a supplement program customized to fit your lifestyle and fitness goals, visit the Supplement Recommender on SupplementRx.com.

When you retrieve data using ODBC, you are accessing
the database outside of the Collect! interface. The names of
fields are actual database names. Dates are shown in their
raw format. Several settings, stored in flags, are represented
with a numeric bit switch value. Additional information, such
as notes, is stored in binary "blobs."
This document is intended to help you parse the data and
use it in whatever way you need.
Dates are shown in their raw format. The example below is taken
from an MS Access table linked to the debtor
record in the d01_collect database.
Example of Date Fields
1040905 will be the raw data. This date represents 09/05/2004 (MM/DD/YYYY)
The format of dates is as follows:
You add 1900 to the first two (or three)
numbers to get the correct yyyy year.
Add 19000000 to the entire number to
put the year in a yyyy format. Then parse the
string using your ODBC interface's date
This should help you parse these dates with any
of the programs you are using to develop your
ODBC interface.
As shown below in the Date/Time Stamp, the time is
in 24 hour format with minutes and seconds displayed.
134754 indicates 1:47:54 P.M.
91053 indicates 9:10:53 A.M.
Several fields in the Debtor record are updated whenever
a record is modified. You can use these as a date/time
stamp. Shown below in MS Access, the fields are
Date/Time Stamp Fields
In Collect! there are many places where settings
are stored in "bit switches." For instance, the
setting Omit From Client Statement
is stored in the Transaction record in a database
field called tr_flags. It is necessary
to parse the value found in these flag fields to determine
the whether the setting is ON or OFF.
There are two types of bit switches where these settings
are stored. If the switch is Exclusive,
the value stored in the field is the actual binary value of
the switch.
When the switch is Inclusive, the
value in the field is a cumulative value of all the settings
stored in that flag and switched ON. In these cases,
it is necessary to use conditional expressions in your
reports to determine the actual value of the setting
in question.
Details of these settings are available to licensed users
of CV11. Please request Database Schema Docs

I'm often to be found talking to my dog. She puts her head on one side and really tries as hard as she can to get what I'm saying. Of course she's hoping its, 'Do you want a chew?' or, 'Walkies?' but more often than not I'm just downloading a worry, or perhaps rehearsing a conversation I want to have with someone else that day. Normally I put this desire to talk to someone who won't comment or judge down to my long list of eccentricities. But of course I'm not alone. We all need to be listened to and really heard.
This came home to me reading an article in The Guardian's Weekend magazine. It was called Listen Up by Moya Sarner. How to listen really well was summed up in the article as:
- Not jumping in with advice too quickly, if at all
- Showing genuine interest
- Using your expression and body language as much as your words
- Allowing silence to give people the space they need to reflect
At HVM our dialogues are all about creating a space for listening, showing people that they are being heard, and ensuring those views get to those who can make a change in society. In these really challenging times isn't that what we all need? A space to listen and to be heard?

Galley Kitchen Remodeling
Galley kitchen remodeling works to make the best possible use of space in these small kitchens. While maximum storage and economy of movement are important to every remodeling job, they are paramount in importance for galley kitchen remodels. The location and the height of cabinets is a detail that gets special treatment in these types of jobs. Appliance size is often discussed, as is the strategic location of appliances so that they all can be opened up all the way without hitting one another. Galley kitchen remodeling is a huge challenge not in spite of the small space being covered but rather because of it. Designers have to come up with creative ways to make the most of what's there without making the room appear too cluttered and to look even smaller than it actually is.
Working with small kitchens like these is a great challenge because of the opposing goals we face as designers. We're trying to maximize storage and make the best use of space, but we're also attempting to avoid clutter and to keep the room as open as it can possibly be. Efficiency usually wins out in this scenario simply out of necessity. But a well designed galley kitchen remodeling setup promotes an organized display where at least everything has its rightful place in the kitchen and has been factored into the cost to remodel a kitchen. Successful remodels in these tight, narrow spaces leverage the expertise of remodelers who have galley experience and who understand the right products and installation strategies to use to make the room as usable and efficient as it can possibly be.
Challenges of Galley Kitchen Remodel
Remodeling kitchens that have underperformed for one reason or the other is generally not easy. But it gets tougher when lack of space is the enemy. This is especially true when the home is occupied by more than just a few people. Coming up with ways to design these remodeling jobs to help the kitchens serve full families is tough. Of particular importance are the countertops and wood cabinets. In galley remodeling jobs countertops perform more extensive storage duties than they ordinarily might in most kitchens. Cabinetry has more of an important job to do as well. Upper cabinets might be taller, often reaching to the ceiling even as they house hanging storage underneath.
Many different accessories make galley kitchen remodeling jobs more efficient, from inside shelving dividers to these hanging storage implements. Every last square inch is utilized, giving galley kitchens a one of a kind look.
A More Efficient Kitchen Idea
And of course, all of this is done in the name of efficiency. Being efficient and well organized is the only way a family can cope with basically only having a hallway to call a kitchen. Galley kitchen remodeling is an extremely specialized area of design because of the way the available space (or lack thereof) informs design. In average kitchens space is an issue but is not always the top priority. But with these kitchens there is literally not a square inch to waste.
Choosing space efficient appliances that cooperate with the needs of the room by not taking up too much room for width and not swinging open out to far into the room is critical. Major manufacturers have special appliance designs like a compact refrigerator or oven that are specifically make for studio apartments or for galley kitchen remodeling. Smart designers do not try to cram as many full sized implements into these kitchens as they can, but choose the appliances that are most needed and size them according to what the room can handle. Often dishwashers are sacrificed in this design in favor of additional base cabinet storage, for example.
Find a Local Kitchen Remodeler
Effective galley kitchen remodeling requires the cooperation of the resident spending time there every day and a remodeler who has access to products and brands that make the best use of limited space. Remodeling galley kitchens might seem like a small job at first. But on closer inspection, we see that this particular remodeling task is complicated not by any daunting physical characteristic, but by the need to somehow as a designer outsmart the room layout. It is extremely beneficial to have the help of a local remodeler to help in this tough task.
Homeowners need only fill out the form at the top of this page to take the first step toward locating a qualified and affordable contractor to work with on their home improvement projects. Galley kitchen remodeling jobs are deceptively difficult and no one should be fooled into thinking they're getting off easy because of the small stature of their kitchens. Find a local contractor to team up with on your galley kitchen remodeling project and make sure the job turns out as well as it can.

Alexandra Elizabeth Utsey and Christopher Edward Jones were married April 8 at the French Huguenot Church in Charleston, S.C. The Rev. Wendell Thomas Guerry, an associate pastor at the church, performed the ceremony.
The bride, who is 30 and will be taking her husband's name, is an Asia-Pacific adviser in the office of the defense secretary in Arlington, Va. She graduated summa cum laude from Washington and Lee University, and received a master's in public affairs from Princeton. She is the daughter of Pamela Wannamaker Utsey and Robert L. Utsey Jr. of Orangeburg, S.C. The bride's father owns a financial advisory firm in Orangeburg that bears his name.
The groom, also 30, works in Washington as the legislative director for Representative Rick Crawford, Republican of Arkansas. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and received a law degree from George Mason University. He is a son of Ann Arey Jones and Edward Lee Jones III of Danville, Va. The groom's mother is an independent manufacturer's representative specializing in women's resort apparel, based in Danville. His father is the director of communications and public relations for Salem Academy and College in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Ms. Utsey and Mr. Jones met in January 2010 at a bar in Georgetown, shortly after interviewing for the same staff job in Congress; it went to the groom.
"He was out celebrating his new job, for which I had also applied," Ms. Utsey said. "Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled to meet him."
Mr. Jones, who had no clue that it was Ms. Utsey he had bested, was smitten from the moment they met.
"I thought she was beautiful and incredibly smart but completely down to earth," he said. "And we were both from the South, so she spoke my language."
On his way out the door, Mr. Jones was still boasting about landing his new job when his roommate told him that he had been hired at Ms. Utsey's expense.
"He turns to me and says: 'You're a jackass. She's the one you beat out for the job,'" Mr. Jones said, recalling the conversation.
"I was so embarrassed," he said. "I was worried that she would resent me for it, and it took me a while to get her back on my side again."
All was forgiven two months later, when Ms. Utsey landed what she called a dream job with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington.
They began working just across Capitol Hill from each other, she on the Senate side and he on the House side. They joined the same kickball league, went out for drinks after games Monday nights and saw each other at cookouts hosted by mutual friends.
By summer, they were best friends.
"He was just such a sweet and genuine guy, and we had a lot in common," Ms. Utsey said. "He became someone I could confide in."
By fall 2011, Ms. Utsey had started to develop romantic feelings for Mr. Jones, and that winter, he sat her down and confessed that he had had a crush on her from the moment they first met.
After a few stops and starts, they began dating steadily in March 2012.
"At that point in my life, I had been through a lot of failed dates," Ms. Utsey said. "I began looking around and realized that despite the fact that he once stole my job, Chris was the most caring man I had ever met.
"I was finally like: 'Wow. He's such a great guy.' And there he was right in front of me the whole time."
