We should all be concerned with home safety. But one of the most important and near to our heart safety concerns is senior safety. With the Senior population ever growing senior safety has become increasingly important.
Some of the more important safety features for Seniors are:
Motion Detector lighting
Wheel chair ramps
Motion detector lighting can be installed anywhere in the house and the advantage to this type of lighting is that is automatically comes on when you enter a room. Such as; bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, hallway and even front and back porches and decks.
Wheel chair ramps are important to make it easier for the Senior or Disabled to get into the house without much effort. These ramps need to be professionally installed and maintained for safety and proper installation, following all of the ADA guidelines.
Handrails installed in high use areas such as; bathroom showers, around the toilet area, front and back porches and decks, stair cases, and any area where the Senior or Disabled needs assistance in getting up or getting around.
All of these should be installed by a professional. And here at Robert Stice Construction/Consulting will be happy to assist you in any way in planning and installation to keep your house safe and accessible.
For the best results, call Robert Stice Construction/Consulting in Liberty Lake to thoroughly inspect your deck, deck stairs and deck railings and give recommendations on any deck repairs or maintenance.

Defining the great jones studio identity
Client: Humanity; cute animals; future generations.
The business cards and general brand ephemera at Great Jones Studio were each thrown together in mere minutes; the card was a singular burst of inspiration that was never edited, revised or proofed—simply ordered directly to print.
The "rules" of the brand are kept to a few simple (but necessary) guidelines:
1. The item or design must express joy.
2. The item or design must feature an environmental response.*
3. The item or design must be of high quality.
Why so sparkly?
The concept behind the overwhelming shininess of the Jones identity is based on my own childhood obsessions with my mother's jewelry, Barbies, aliens and a lifelong fondness for all underwater creatures. If you ever read The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister you'll understand. *Refraction, luminescence, movement—by using transparent or reflective materials, we can create "living," interactive objects through our designs instead of something dull and lifeless.
The Tagline
Lastly: Why "WE ARE ALL GREAT JONES STUDIO?" The obvious answer: It is the only thing that came to mind and made sense in the few seconds I considered the design altogether.
But the inspiration traces back to a Season 3 episode of the Netflix show Bojack Horseman—a piece of pop culture that has influenced me in more ways than one—wherein a mirrored billboard reads "YOU ARE SECRETARIAT" (in reference to the title character's recent film role) and an ancient TIME Magazine cover with a mirrored screen on the front cover promoting You as "Person of the Year."

Check out these seven tips for getting LinkedIn.
1. Build your network before you need your network. A solid network, in business and in life, is priceless. You don't want to begin building your network the day you get fired; you want to continually build your connections. When you meet someone at a networking event, on your basketball team, or at a conference, connect with him or her on LinkedIn. Remember, it's not only what you know and who you know; it's who you know and when you know them.
2. Highlight your accomplishments in your profile. Your profile is like your virtual business card or resume. Use your profile to tell the world exactly what you do and why you're great at it. Pull out your accomplishments, results, and data when writing about your experiences. You will stand out beside the many people who are simply writing job descriptions.

3. Send a personalized invitation message to professional connections. This could be my number-one pet peeve. Most people are so lazy when they connect on Linkedin that they use the default greeting:
"I use LinkedIn to keep track of my professional network, and would like to add you."
Take five seconds to actually write something personal, so the person remembers who you are and is therefore more apt to connect. It can be as simple as:
"Eric, it has been a long time since we worked at FSLIC. I hope all is well with you. I look forward to touching base soon."
4. Be a resource and a connector. Become active in professional LinkedIn groups you join, and begin conversations by posting to discussion boards. You can ask questions or pass along links to interesting business articles. This puts your name and profile at the forefront of the group, and you may begin a healthy discussion with like-minded professionals. If two of your contacts would benefit from an introduction, "introduce" them on LinkedIn.
5. Do company and personnel research. Use LinkedIn to do your due diligence before networking events, informational interviews, or appointments. If you are meeting with someone for an informational interview, review his or her profile ahead of time to prepare. You can get acquainted with the person's current job and past experiences.
6. Know your audience. The content of your profile should exude professionalism and reflect your very best self. Think twice before linking your social networks together–your LinkedIn audience doesn't need to see the Fantasy Football updates you share on Facebook.
7. Follow up. Think of LinkedIn as your virtual Rolodex. Being proactive with your contacts will yield benefits. Once you've built your profile and contact base, find reasons to connect here and there. Pass along an industry-relevant article, or congratulate a colleague on a new position.
Good luck!

High performance ECL-to-ATM protocol network gateway
A network protocol translation device that allows serial data sent using the standard Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) protocol to be used between two locations, using a satellite link or a terrestrial wireless link between the two locations. This is done by translating the standard ATM data to a standard satellite modem interface at one location, and translating the data back to the ATM format at the second (remote) location. The translation can occur at any data rate up to the available effective bandwidth of the ATM connection. The device is also capable of providing Forward Error Correction in the protocol translation. The device is functionally transparent to protocols above ATM, i.e., IP, UDP and TCP. It also interfaces with standard physical layers below ATM such as Synchronous Optical Network (SONET). At the satellite interface, the device is compatible with (but not limited to) Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL).
This invention was made with Government support under Prime Contract #NAS-9-98100 awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The United States Government has certain rights in the invention.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to electronic networking equipment, and is particularly directed to an enhanced method and apparatus for the translation of different data protocols in a high throughput communication link employing both wired and wireless network platforms. More specifically, this invention is directed to the connection of a high speed, variable data rate satellite network to a conventional ground-based, fixed data rate commercial communications network in a manner which increases systems throughput without impacting satellite or ground-based network design and operation.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With the advent of personal computers, the need for interconnectivity between computational platforms has grown exponentially. In the business environment, connectivity is necessary for transmittal of email and numerous other types of data including audio and video. In the residential area, many homes are now connected via the Internet. All of this interconnectivity requires increasingly higher throughput across both wired and wireless networks.
The transmission of high data rates, such as for video signals, requires expensive connections when performed over wired networks. For temporary applications, the installation cost becomes prohibitive. The most economical solution is to transmit data via satellites. This method eliminates the high cost of connecting any location with coaxial wire or fiber optics to the nearest telephone switching office.
Existing satellites are equipped with several transponders that relay information. Each transponder typically has a pass-band of 36 megahertz. Using present modulation and coding systems, these transponders can handle a data rate of nearly 70 megabits/second. Satellites operating in the Ka band are expected to be available to the marketplace in the next 2–3 years. These Ka band transponders will support pass-bands of 100 to 500 megahertz.
On the ground, existing networking equipment runs at established fixed speeds. These speeds include (in megabits/second): 1.5, 45, 155, and 622. To connect a satellite communications network with ground-based network, the satellite modem must operate at lower speeds that are identical to ground-based speeds. This severely limits the efficiency of the satellite's available bandwidth.
The satellite connection is handled through a satellite modem. Current satellite modems use a serial input/output such as RS-449. A translation device is required to connect the standards based ground network to the satellite modem. If the satellite is operating at a similar speed, it can be effectively connected using a commercial router. To operate efficiently at any other speed, the connection must be made through a different interface device.
The prior art includes three types of interface devices. All of these devices convert the satellite modem serial data to/from the standards based protocols of Asynchronous Transmission Mode (ATM) or Ethernet. These devices, two of which are commercial and one of which is a governmental (NASA) design, include:
1) The COMSAT Link Accelerator (CLA-2000) converts RS-449 serial interface at up to 8 megabits/second to an ATM interface at a fixed 45 megabits/second. The CLA-2000 was recently upgraded to support 10 megabits/second Ethernet in addition to ATM.
2) The Metrodata LA-1000 converts, an Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASI) to ATM. The LA-1000 interfaces between satellite modems with DVB-ASI interfaces and ATM networks at speeds up to about 100 megabits/second. The LA-1000 does not support satellite modems with Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) interfaces.
3) The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Ground Router Interface Device (GRID) includes the features of the CLA-2000 and the capability to support multiple RS-449 interfaces. This device is also limited to 8 megabits/second on the terrestrial serial interface. Details of GRID are proprietary and not publicly available. Current systems in the ECL domain are thus limited to 8 megabits/second.
Referring to
Another disadvantage of this and other prior approaches is that satellites are forced to operate at data rates dependent on the terrestrial network components at either end of the link. Often, the ideal data rates of the wireless satellite network segment lie in between the supported terrestrial data rates. To guarantee error-free connections via satellite, sufficient signal power must be provided to account for atmospheric disturbances such as clouds and rain. Reducing the data rates effectively eliminates the need to increase RF power levels to compensate. However, prior approaches do not allow for agile data rates.
Another disadvantage of prior approaches involves Forward Error Correction (FEC), which is a well-known tool for increasing communications link reliability. The high rate satellite modems 18 for Tracking & Data Relay Satellites (TDRS) do not employ Reed-Solomon FEC. To maximize the capability of these high rate connections, Reed-Solomon FED must be employed on the ISS 12 and at the high rate modem 18.
The present invention addresses the aforementioned limitations of the prior art by providing continuously adjustable input/output serial data rates via ECL-based satellite modems and converting the data rate to standards-based terrestrial network data rates with Reed-Solomon FEC capability at speeds up to 622 megabits/second.OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to link an Emitter Coupled Logic satellite communications network to a conventional ground-based Asynchronous Transfer Mode Network with minimum impact on the operations and configuration of the network.
It is another object of the present invention to connect a high speed, variable data rate communications network to a fixed data rate communications network in a synchronous manner.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a data rate independent, synchronous RF network connecting a standards-based satellite network and a standards-based ground communications network, which allows for interactive communications between the two networks.
A further object of the present invention is to provide adaptive error correction coding in a satellite and ground-based communications network operating at the high data rates available in conventional ground-based communications networks.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a communications interface between synchronous serial data circuits and a fiber optic or wide area network.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an agile satellite serial data rate that allows a satellite transponder/modem to operate at its most efficient data rate.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a satellite modem interface to any protocol above ATM such as Internet Protocol (IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
The present invention contemplates conversion of Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL)-based synchronous serial data having a variable data rate such as used in satellite-based space communications to a high speed, fixed data rate such as employed in ground-based communications networks such as of the ATM type with minimal impact on the operation and configuration of the communications network. The inventive approach employs a network protocol translation device, which permits synchronous serial data from the satellite network to be converted to the protocol of any one of various ground-based conventional communications networks such as of the ATM type at virtually any serial data rate up to the available effective bandwidth of the ATM connection. Adaptive forward error correction is provided in the protocol translation, with operation possible at data rates intermediate the fixed, stratified rates of conventional ground communications networks. The ECL-ATM protocol interface device includes both ECL-ATM and ATM-ECL processors for bi-directional communications and includes ATM interfaces for SONET and other terrestrial connections such as Ethernet.
The appended claims set forth those novel features, which characterize the invention. However, the invention itself, as well as further objects and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where like reference characters identify like elements throughout the various figures, in which:
Referring to
Referring to
ECL-ATM protocol interface device 70 further includes an ATM-ECL processor 88, which is shown in block diagram form in
Referring to
This insertion of idle cells makes up any difference in data rate between the ECL data stream and the ATM data stream while maintaining the constant data rate and standardized format of the ATM interface.
Referring to
Various inputs are provided to the control and status circuit 140 for controlling its operation. For example, a "mode" signal is provided from the operator control mode switch 78 within the ECL-ATM protocol interface device 70 as shown in
Referring to
Referring to
If at step 162, it is determined that the received frame number is greater than 3, the program updates the transmitter value by proceeding to step 164 and setting the FEC code value equal to the received header value times 2. The program then at step 166 determines whether the received code value is 0. If the received code value is 0, the program branches to step 174 and exits the program. If at step 166, it is determined that the received FEC code value is not equal to 0, the program proceeds to step 168 and determines if the received code value is equal to the FEC value. If these two values are the same, the program proceeds to step 174 for exiting the program. If at step 168, it is determined that the received FEC code value is not equal to the FEC value, the program proceeds to step 170 to determine if the received frame number is 7. If the received frame number is not 7, the program proceeds to 174 and exits the program. If at step 170 it is determined that the received frame number is 7, the program proceeds to step 172 and sets the receiver FEC value to the new correction code value. The program then proceeds to step 174 and exits the program.
Referring to
If at step 184, the program determines that the received frame number is not 0, the program proceeds to step 192 to determine if the received frame number is 4. If it is determined at step 192 that the received frame number is 4, the program proceeds to step 194 and sets the transmitted code value to the new code value. The program then proceeds to step 196 to determine if the transmitted frame number is 0. If at step 192 it is determined that the received frame number is not 4, the program proceeds to step 196 to determine if the transmitted frame number is 0. If the transmitted frame number is 0, the program proceeds to step 198 and updates the transmitter FEC value with the new code value. The program then proceeds to step 200 and exits the transmit adaptive error correction coding program. If at step 196 it is determined that the transmitted frame number is not 0, the program proceeds to step 200 for exiting the transmit adaptive error correction coding program.
Referring to
The first CASI 90 includes an FEC receiver 102. The FEC receiver 102 provides this data to a frame buffer 110 in the first CASI 90, which provides the frame number 104 as well as the received code value 106 at step 114 for comparing the received code value with the current code value in frame number 0. If at step 114 it is determined that the code value has changed, the current FEC value 118 is provided to the FEC receiver 102, which provides the updated FEC value to frame buffer 110. The FEC receiver 102 also provides an indication of the errors in the received data at step 112 for determination of the transmitted code value based on the received bit error rate. At step 112, the new code value is determined and provided to step 116 for saving until frame 0, whereupon the new code value is provided to frame buffer 94 for determining the transmitted code value. The output of frame buffer 110 is provided to an ATM conversion circuit 108 at the output of the first CASI 90 for providing ATM data to an ATM ground communication network.
Referring to

Benefits of Yoga
On a purely cosmetic level, a yoga body is a beautiful body with its long, lean muscles and taut, tight abs, thighs and butt. The increase in circulation brings an inner glow to your skin, makes your eyes shine and your hair gleam.
It tones the whole inner body too: liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen, intestines, heart etc. The precise postures of yoga work deep into the body, causing blood to circulate profoundly rather than just around the body's outer edge. It nourishes every organ as well as softening the muscle and ligament tissue.
The deep stretching brings both bones and muscles gently back into their optimum alignment while lubricating the joints. It also fosters that gorgeous, lean, muscled 'yoga body' -- you can always tell if someone is using yoga by those long, lean muscles.
If you practice yoga regularly, you will almost automatically lose weight and develop a streamlined body shape. Yoga can improve both the oxygenation of your blood and its circulation.
It is also a superb way of helping your body to detoxify because it encourages lymphatic flow, which is the 'waste removal' system of the body. Not only does your body detox when you perform yoga; your mind does too.
The specific breathing techniques of yoga -- pranayama, directly affect the nervous system, eliciting the 'relaxation response' in which the parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic system. As a result, you feel calm, cool and in control.
Seriously, if you haven't tried yoga, grab that mat and get going.

The last three years have seen the meteoric rise of a particular type of gin, whose name is both simple and surprisingly confusing; namely, "Pink Gin".
Today, an exact definition is hard to fashion beyond "a gin that is pink in colour" and, in honesty, it is little more than that. But that has not always been the case….
The Original Pink Gin
The original Pink Gin (the proper kind), a simple mix of gin and Angostura Bitters, has its origins in the 19th Century, but it was not until the 20th Century that the term became widely used and it was likely popularised during the First World War.
A 1900 article from the Pall Mall Gazette mentions the popularity of a "frothy mixture of gin, angostura and ice" in the West Indies; although the term "Pink Gin" is not mentioned specifically this certainly describes one.
A 1928 article describes the drink as being prevalent in China, where trays laden with wine-glasses of gin, a bottle of Angostura, and a jug of water were served to and enjoyed by British naval officers.
By the 1950s, Pink Gins were often used to advertise both gin brands and Angostura Bitters with tag-lines like "How much rosier everything is with pink gin!" and, just like the colour of the drink, the future of the Pink Gin looked rosy.
The New Upstart
In the last few years, another meaning has developed for "pink gin": the rather unimaginative definition of "a gin what is pink"; how bourgeois! The modern trend for pink gins started around 2011, but got turbo-charged a few years later with the surge of strawberry gins from Spain, all of which were known as "Strawberry Gin".
When the trend finally reached the UK, a number of variants were released on the market with the moniker "pink gin" and, for now, the name has stuck.
Pink Gin Strikes Back
It could be conceded that the lukewarm mix of gin and Angostura Bitters is a tad dated and in need of a little zhoosh in order to appeal to a more modern audience…
Enter: Proper Pink Gin.
Proper Pink Gin uses vacuum-distilled Angostura Bitters; the vacuum distillation process removes all of the colour and bitterness, whilst retaining all of the other flavours. This is added to gentian distillate (to add bitterness) and lemon distillate (to add the zesty liveliness you would usually get from a garnish), before being combined with a gin made from a classic mix of botanicals. Each bottle is then finished off with a dash of Angostura Bitters and a natural pink colour.
A Proper Taste
Nose: Zesty lemon, along with complex, earthy spice and a hint of toasted Welsh cakes.
Taste: Bold, vibrant and dry; a rich symphony of spice with any sweetness neatly balanced by the clean earthiness of gentian.
Finish: A residual woody spice, accompanied by the gentle warmth of cracked black pepper.
A Proper Serve
The gin is a delight to drink neat with a couple of ice cubes; it contains everything you need for a Perfect Proper Pink Gin.
For a colder option, shake it vigorously with ice cubes (dry vermouth optional), before fine straining into a Martini glass. The result is a delicate shade of rose and the shaking adds a pleasant, soft fluffiness. Very easy to sip.
Pink Gin & Tonic
50ml Proper Pink Gin
150ml Tonic water
Garnish in the Evans' style (with a wedge each of lemon and lime, or an orange wedge)
A crisp, bright and refreshing drink with a great complexity thanks to the added distillates and bitters.

A bronze relief sculpture mounted on a masonry wall that would stand outside Fire Station No. 7 on Green Meadows Road is the most recent project proposal for the city's Percent for Art program.
BOCOMO BUZZ: New public art proposal
The public is invited to comment on conceptual designs for the work by Mid-Missouri artist Jane Mudd, and the city is accepting input through Oct. 9. Images and an online comment form are available on the city's Web site at www.gocolumbiamo.com. Click on "Parks, Recreation and the Arts" on the left-hand side, then click "Office of Cultural Affairs" to find the link for public comment.
Comments also may be submitted by e-mailing oca@GoColumbiaMo .com, by mail to the Office of Cultural Affairs, P.O. Box 6015, Columbia, Mo., 65205; or by fax to (573) 874-7681.
The working title for the piece is "In Gratitude," and it will include a seating area where passers-by can rest and view the 32-inch-by-15-inch sculpture. Mudd said the work focuses on the themes of gratitude and thankfulness, and features a crowd of appreciative community members. The background depicts images from the fire department's history.
"The 'imagined' characters in the crowd that will be sculpted into the bronze relief will represent a cross section of Columbia's diversity for which it is so well known," Mudd said in a prepared statement.
After the public comment period, the city's Standing Committee on Public Art will review the proposal and formulate a recommendation for the Office of Cultural Affairs. Final approval of the design will be determined by the Columbia City Council.

Physical Education/Health Education
Port Malabar Elementary
2017 SHAPE K-12 Florida Health Educator of the Year
As a teacher and coach for over 37 years I have always been eager to learn and grow. Teaching elementary, middle and high school students has stretched my teaching skills, but did not compare to how I would grow as the 2017 Brevard Teacher of the Year. Becoming a member of the Florida Teacher Lead Network, FTLN, provided me an opportunity to learn strategies to mentor my colleagues and advance my teaching skill set. There were times where I was overwhelmed with the responsibility and urgency for our mission- Highest Achievement…Every Student, Every Day, but with the support of the DOE and my coaches, I received the encouragement and guidance that I needed. My students and my colleague's students would benefit from the new resolve that was kindled within FTLN.
It was humbling to have these opportunities to learn and grown with my fellow Teachers of the Year, but also to work with elected leaders, State Board of Education Members, and the Commissioner of Education. In forums like the Governor's Summit, I knew I was no longer speaking for myself, but also for my friends and colleagues. I realized that teachers are valued and respected in the state of Florida. With FTLN's commitment to Teacher Leadership on the state level, and also within my own district, Brevard Teacher Leadership Council, I know that I am not alone. I still have much to learn, but have colleagues and support systems to further the work we are all so passionate about, the education of our youth.

Way of working
Way of working
A plan proven in battle
Our approach is easy to grasp for any potential client, and easy for us to stick to when the heat is turned up during the digital transformation process. The plan has been tried and tested and proven to work – every time.
The key factor in this first phase is ambition. When starting up with new clients, we often find that the client goals are not set high enough in terms of what the digital transformation should result in. The goals are often hazily defined and therefore difficult to measure. Let's change that. We are a high-ambition, results-oriented, logically driven company. It is in our nature to aim high and set clearly defined, measurable, and realistic ambitions together with the client.
During this stage, we also define a tactical plan of growth-driving projects that Digital Strategi implements together with the client during the next phase. These projects are outlined in a business plan agreed by both parties before entering into the next phase.
The Digital Growth and Change Management phases run parallel during the remainder of the project lifetime. The Digital Growth phase is all about putting our money where our mouth is, so to speak. Few things are worse for a corporate manager than having a fantastic plan and not enough power to push it through. But this is where we differ from so many others. This stage is about putting boots on the ground, sending out a dedicated team led by the same person who guided the client through the strategy phase.
This stage is where growth-enhancing changes happen for real, usually starting off with one or two quick wins to lay a positive foundation for changes that have greater potential but that take longer to accomplish.
In the strategy phase, we set the requirements in terms of roles that have to be in place in order for the client to continue driving the processes once our project is completed. This phase deals with putting these roles in place. An important part in achieving this is setting ability-oriented client goals in terms of skills and knowledge. We then work together to achieve these, for example through training sessions led by us.
Also, this phase is about linking channels and breaking up organisational silos. Teaching the client how to adopt a constant-learning mentality, agile processes, to make data-driven decisions and to internally collaborate in new ways.

Shelby & Justin's Summer Wedding - South Isle Campground - Isle, MN
Where do I start? I met Shelby at her mom's wedding ten years ago and have since photographed her and her sister's senior portraits, hung out with mutual friends, and now had the opportunity to photograph Shelby's wedding to Justin. This family is always silly and fun, laid back, and pure Minnesotan.
I loved the speeches from the best man and maid of honor (siblings of the bride and groom, respectively), with their heartfelt words and a challenge to a bowling match thrown in. Because they are more like family than clients, I stayed late and loved hanging out at the campfire, making s'more's and toasting a drink with the bride's personal attendants. All in all a delightful day, gorgeous weather, and no mosquito bites! Congratulations, Shelby & Justin!

Nintendo Q1 FY3/2019: Consolidated Operating Results
Sales of Nintendo Labo series overall reached 1.39 million units.
Sales of Nintendo Labo series overall reached 1.39 million units.
Shigeru Miyamoto: "We would rather grow profits as a result of continually challenging ourselves to generate new value rather than investing capital to expand our business."
Shuntaro Furukawa's first ever corporate address.
I just want to emphasize how refreshing it is that, thanks to the Switch's success, trolling has completely vanished from investors Q&A. It's so much more productive.
Undeniably, this fiscal year ended in March 2018 has been a sweet ride for Nintendo.
Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild make the Switch's top 3 at over 10, 9 and 8 million units sold respectively.
Mario Kart 7 at 17.04 million while Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon stand at 7.51 million units sold.
Nintendo Switch at 17.79 million units sold as of March 31, 2018.
Nintendo 3DS at 72.53 million units sold as of March 31, 2018.
Once again, Nintendo went above the forecast when it comes to money distributed to investors.
Shuntaro Furukawa set to become the new President of Nintendo.
With Super Mario Odyssey at over 10 million, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 sold 1,310,000 units globally.
"The true value of entertainment lies in its uniqueness." This fiscal year, Nintendo's motto remains unchanged.
"Looking ahead, we plan to leverage [the Switch's] momentum to reach an even broader range of consumers and expand the installed base of the hardware."
The results for this fiscal year show a very positive trend in global hardware sales for Nintendo Switch, which sold a total of 15.05 million units during this fiscal year.
Miyamoto: "Our ultimate ambition is for a Nintendo Switch to be owned not just by every family, but by every single person."
Mo' money less problems.
"We aim to broaden the platform's user base by continuing to introduce compelling new software in addition to the stable of popular titles that already have been released."
"Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold 7.33 million units, and Splatoon 2 has sold 4.91 million units, bringing to 8 the total number of million-seller titles for this fiscal year including the titles of other software publishers."
They're actually going to make it to these 16 million Switches they were talking about at the end of this fiscal year.

When The Sallie Mae Fund came to Oregon looking for help on a new financial aid idea, the nation's largest student loan provider turned to CFM.
The challenge was to build political credibility in Oregon for an innovative Sallie Mae program – forgiving part of the loan for any college student willing to stay in the state and work in nursing or education. Oregon was the first stop on the West Coast after Sallie Mae started the program in Maryland and Virginia.
CFM worked with Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski's administration to gain his endorsement for the new program. CFM helped design the rollout, announcing the loan relief program at a major news conference in 2005. And, CFM continues advising the company on selling the Sallie Mae program in public and private colleges and universities around the state
Students benefited as they faced higher financial aid costs. State officials developed new options to encourage students to enter two fields where there are jobs waiting – education and nursing– and, the company gained a stronger foothold in Oregon, where it hopes to do business for years.

"This God is our God to time indefinite, even forever. He himself will guide us until we die."—PS. 48:14.
When we consider things that are valueless or harmful, it is easy to deceive ourselves. (Prov. 12:11) If we really want to do something that is not appropriate for a Christian, our heart will often come up with persuasive reasons to do it. (Jer. 17:5) Hence, the psalmist demonstrated wisdom when he prayed to God: "Send out your light and your truth. May these themselves lead me." (Ps. 43:3) He trusted in God, not in his own limited wisdom, and he could have looked to no better source for guidance. Like the psalmist, we do well to look to God for direction.
Why, though, should we trust God's guidance above all other? When should we seek it? What attitudes should we cultivate to benefit from it, and how does God guide us today? These important questions will be discussed in this article.
Why Trust God's Guidance?
God is our heavenly Father. (1 Cor. 8:6) He has a thorough knowledge of each one of us and can read our very hearts. (1 Sam. 16:7; Prov. 21:2) King David said to God, "You yourself have come to know my sitting down and my rising up. You have considered my thought from far off. For there is not a word on my tongue, but, look! O God, you already know it all." (Ps. 139:2) Since God knows us so well, how can we doubt that he knows what is best for us. Besides, God is all-wise. He sees everything, looks deeper than any human looks, and knows the outcome of things from their beginning. (Isa. 46:9-11; Rom. 11:33) He is "God, wise alone."—Rom. 16:27.
In addition, God loves us and always wants what is best for us. (John 3:16; 1 John 4:8) As a loving God, he is generous toward us. The disciple James wrote:
Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of the celestial lights. (Jas. 1:17) Those who let themselves be guided by God benefit greatly from his generosity.
Finally, God is almighty. In this regard, the psalmist said: "Anyone dwelling in the secret place of the Most High will procure himself lodging under the very shadow of the Almighty One. I will say to God: 'You are my refuge and my stronghold, my God, in whom I will trust.'" (Ps. 91:1, 2) When we follow God's guidance, we are seeking refuge with the God who cannot fail. Even if we meet opposition, God supports us. He will not let us down. (Ps. 71:4, 5; Proverbs 3:19-26.) Yes, God knows what is best for us, wants what is best for us, and has the power to provide what is best for us. How foolish it would be for us to ignore his guidance! When, though, do we need that guidance?
When Do We Need Guidance?
Really, we need God's guidance throughout our lives, from youth to old age. The psalmist said:
This God is our God to time indefinite, even forever. He himself will guide us until we die. (Ps. 48:14) Like the psalmist, wise Christians never cease to look to God for guidance.
There are, of course, times when we feel an especially urgent need for help. Sometimes we find ourselves in "sore straits," perhaps facing persecution, a severe illness, or sudden unemployment. (Ps. 69:16, 17) At such times, it is comforting to turn to God, confident that he will strengthen us to endure and guide us to make good decisions. (Psalm 102:17.) However, we also need his help on other occasions. For example, when we set out to speak with our neighbors about the good news of the Kingdom, we need God's guidance if our witnessing is to be effective. In addition, whenever we have a decision to make—be it about recreation, dress and grooming, association, employment, education, or anything else—we act wisely only if we follow God's guidelines. In truth, there is no end to the situations in which we need guidance.
The Dangers of Not Seeking God's Guidance
Remember, though, that we have to be willing to follow God's guidance. God will not force us to do so if we do not want to. The first human to choose not to follow God's guidance was Eve, and her example shows how serious such a bad decision can be. Think, too, of the implications. Eve ate of the forbidden fruit because she wanted "to be like God, knowing good and bad." (Gen. 3:5) In doing so, she put herself in God's place, making her own decisions as to good and evil rather than following God's guidelines. Thus, she turned her back on God's sovereignty. She wanted to be her own master. Her husband, Adam, pursued the same rebellious course.—Rom. 5:12.
Today, if we do not follow God's guidance, we are likewise failing to acknowledge his sovereignty. Think, for example, of a person who develops the habit of watching pornography. If he is associated with the Christian congregation, he knows God's guidelines on this matter. Unclean things should not even be mentioned, let alone be gazed at with lascivious enjoyment. (Eph. 5:3) By rejecting God's guidelines, such a man is denying God's sovereignty, rejecting His headship. (1 Cor. 11:3) That is most unwise, since, as Jeremiah said,
it does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.—Jer. 10:23.
Some might question Jeremiah's words, feeling that since God gave us free will, he can hardly criticize us for using it. Still, do not forget that free will is a responsibility as well as a gift. We are answerable for the things we choose to say and do. (Rom. 14:10) Jesus said,
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." He also said, "Out of the heart come wicked reasoning's, murders, adulteries, fornications, thieveries, false testimonies, blasphemies. (Matt. 12:34; Matt. 15:19)
Hence, our words and deeds reveal our heart condition. They show what we really are. That is why a wise Christian seeks God's guidance in everything. In that way, God finds him 'upright in his heart' and will "do good" to him.—Ps. 125:4.
Remember the history of Israel. When that nation made good choices, obeying God's commands, God protected them. (Josh. 24:15) Frequently, though, they misused their free will. In Jeremiah's day, God said of them:
They did not listen, neither did they incline their ear, but they went walking in the counsels in the stubbornness of their bad heart, so that they became backward in direction and not forward. (Jer. 7:24-26)
How sad! May we never, because of stubbornness or self-indulgence, reject God's guidance and walk in our own counsels and thus become "backward in direction and not forward"!
What Does It Take to Follow God's Counsel?
Our love for God makes us want to follow his guidance. (1 John 5:3) However, Paul pointed to something else that we need when he said, "We are walking by faith, not by sight." (2 Cor. 5:6, 7) Why is faith important? Well, God leads us in "the tracks of righteousness," but those tracks do not lead to wealth or privilege in this world. (Ps. 23:3) For that reason, our eye of faith needs to be fixed on the incomparable spiritual rewards that come from serving God. (2 Cor. 4:17) And faith helps us to be content with modest material provisions.—1 Tim. 6:8.
Jesus indicated that true worship involves self-sacrifice, which also takes faith. (Luke 9:23, 24) Some faithful worshippers have made great sacrifices, enduring poverty, oppression, prejudice, even severe persecution. (2 Cor. 11:23-27; Rev. 3:8-10) Only strong faith enabled them to do so with joy. (Jas. 1:2, 3) Strong faith makes us confident that following God's guidance is always best. It is always for our ultimate good. We have no doubt whatsoever that the reward for those who loyally endure is far greater than any temporary suffering.—Heb. 11:6.
Consider, too, the role of humility in following God's guidance. The example of Hagar, Sarah's maidservant, demonstrates this. When Sarah continued childless, she gave Hagar to Abraham, and Hagar became pregnant with Abraham's child. Then, Hagar became arrogant toward her barren mistress. As a result, Sarah "began to humiliate her," and Hagar ran away. An angel of God met Hagar and told her:
Return to your mistress and humble yourself under her hand." (Gen. 16:2)
Perhaps Hagar would have preferred some other guidance. To act according to the angel's direction, she would have to abandon her arrogant attitude. Nevertheless, Hagar humbly did as the angel said, and her son, Ishmael, was born in the security of his father's encampment.
Following God's guidance might mean that we too have to humble ourselves. Some might have to accept the viewpoint that a form of recreation they enjoy is displeasing to God. A Christian might have offended someone and needs to apologize. Or he might have made a mistake and needs to admit it. What if someone commits a serious sin? He needs to humble himself and confess the sin to the elders. An individual might even be disfellowshipped. To be accepted back into the congregation, he must humbly repent and turn around. In these and similar situations, the words of Proverbs 29:23 are comforting: "The very haughtiness of earthling man will humble him, but he that is humble in spirit will take hold of glory."
How Does God Guide Us?
The foremost source of divine guidance is the Bible, God's inspired Word. (2 Timothy 3:16) To make the most of that Word, we are wise not to wait for a challenging situation to arise before seeking helpful words in the Scriptures. Rather, we will make Bible reading a daily habit. (Ps. 1:1-3) In that way, the inspired words become familiar. God's thoughts become our thoughts, and we are ready to face even unexpected problems.
In addition, it is important to meditate on what we read in the Scriptures and pray in connection with it. When we ponder on Bible verses, we consider how they might apply in specific situations. (1 Tim. 4:15) When we face serious problems, we pray to God, asking help to find the guidance we need. God's spirit will help us to recall helpful Scriptural principles that we have read in the Bible itself or in Bible-based publications.— Psalm 25:4, 5.
Our Christian brotherhood is another valuable resource in seeking God's guidance. The body of Christ, his church, is made up of Christian fellowships who are mature individuals, especially the pastors, who are qualified to give personal help and Scriptural counsel. (Isa. 32:1) Young ones in Christian households have an additional valuable resource. Their believing parents are a God-ordained authority to whom they are always encouraged to look for guidance.—Eph. 6:1-3.
Yes, in a number of ways, God offers guidance, and we do well to take full advantage of it. Speaking of a time when Israel proved faithful, King David said,
In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you kept providing them with escape. To you they cried out, and they got away safe; in you they trusted, and they did not come to shame. (Ps. 22:3-5) If we trustingly follow God's guidance, we too will "not come to shame. We will not be disappointed in our hope. If we 'roll upon God our way,' instead of relying on our own wisdom, the results will be rich blessings even now. (Ps. 37:5)
And if we loyally persevere in that course, those blessings will be eternal. King David wrote, "God is a lover of justice, and he will not leave his loyal ones. To time indefinite they will certainly be guarded…. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."—Ps. 37:28, 29.

I'm Just Going to Say It: Titles Are Necessary For Growth in a Relationship
"We're together but we're not... boyfriend, girlfriend".
I half-breathed the words and felt, as they were leaving my lips, that they were taking the oxygen from my lungs with them. My best friend lounged in the loveseat across from me, staring at the ceiling as if focusing on the stucco patterns would transport her elsewhere. She said nothing.
I told her about how he had introduced me to his friends. I noted that I didn't have the brimming sense of pride when he spoke my name. He spoke very... matter-of-factly. He gave my name, and that was all there was to it. I was never formally introduced to his family either. I knew his siblings from school, and that seemed to suffice for him. I recall sidestepping his mother on days I actually found myself over his house.
As I was relaying the details to my best friend, she just pursed her lips. I felt her questions pierce me even though she didn't speak immediately. She was wondering why I was investing so much energy into someone who would not commit. I know because I was starting to wonder, too. When I discovered that he was still in love with his ex, I stopped wondering. It was not that I wasn't enough, nor was he averse to titles: He was just emotionally unavailable.
There it is: One of two reasons why people choose not to use titles. And if the ex isn't a factor, the other is that your pseudo-partner doesn't legitimately desire commitment. Regardless of rationale, the end result is a dead-end relationship.
Titles don't make the relationship—but they do help to define the nature of it. In claiming a person, you lend a sense of purpose and direction to an otherwise nebulous situation (friends with benefits or partners?). If you want to see growth in a relationship, there is no question in my mind: Titles are necessary.

He said he would sign it and sign it he did.
Reuters: President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order that will limit immigration and refugees from some Muslim-majority countries and he separately said he wanted the United States to give priority to Syrian Christians fleeing the civil war there.
Republican Representative Michael McCaul, the House Homeland Security Committee chairman, said on CNN that Trump's order would include a 30-day suspension of visa applications from seven countries designated as "high-threat areas" and a suspension of the refugee program.
"I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. Don't want them here," Trump said at the Pentagon."We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people," he said.

This revised list of courses is applicable for all students in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania. It also applies to students in other countries abroad such as India as long as they are studying KASNEB courses. Equipping yourself with this knowledge only works to your advantage because you need to make your revision line up with the course expectations if you are to excel in the KASNEB exams. After all, they are known to be quite robust and only adequate preparation can help a student. It starts with understanding the syllabus.
Exams to be offered under the changed syllabuses
- CPA- certified public accounting
- CICT-Certified Information Communication Technologists
- CS- accredited secretaries
- CCP- Certified credit professionals
- CIFA- Certified Investments and Financial Analysts
If it is in your plan to take up any of these courses, then you are advised to consider the revised syllabus. Do not use past papers and notes that are beyond 2015 as the chances are that they are likely to be irrelevant to you.
Phased out exams include
- ACT- accounting technician
- ICTT- information communication technology technicians
- IST- investment and securities technicians
- CMT- credit management technicians
If any of these were your areas of interest, then you are advised to seek advice from the KASNEB office for direction. You can still advance in these areas but not under the previously offered packages.
New introductions
With the revised syllabuses came a wave of new changes and introductions. The examining body introduced diploma examinations in different areas that were not available before. These include:
- Diploma in credit management(DCM)
- Accounting Technicians Diploma(ATD)
- Diploma in Information communication technology(DICT)
These come with a new fee structure that you may have to check on the KASNEB official website if interested in pursuing any of the courses.

These changes and transitions occurred in 2015 meaning that they have been effective today. KASNEB provide the right mechanisms that enabled a smooth transition from the old syllabus to the new one. Students graduated, and the new ones were absorbed to fit into the new programs hence no clashes occurred over that period. KASNEB continues to stay dedicated to offering the right kind of support to professionals that focus on enhancing their academic and professional prowess.

It focuses on channeling the right professionals for the Kenyan job market. It has been instrumental in boosting the CV of most professionals who after taking the KASNEB professional course have risen ranks in their institutions to higher levels of management. If you are looking to become more competitive in Accounting, Management, credit, Governance, ICT and financial sectors, then KASNEB is the most recommended fit for you.
KASNEB continues to work on ways to improve their service delivery. The syllabus change was just but the beginning of making things relevant. It has rolled out an online library service currently on trial basis. The state-based organization was established in 1969 to oversee professionalism in the said sectors. The chances are that it will revise the syllabus once again when there is a need to do so. Fortunately, students will be updated every time there is an update concerning KASNEB services.

Record-breaking trout have been caught in our county, and our many of our fishing guests, including Trout Unlimited members, often catch and release between 30 and 150 fish a day!
