In other words perfect tone pitch (PP) is when you can close your eyes, let someone play a random note on the piano and be able to know which note it is.
Everyone has a NATURAL, inborn ability for Perfect tone pitch. But like most musicians you may have yet to discover it.
PP is obtained by training your ear to recognize the notes you are hearing. With this software you will be surprise to see how fast this may be achieved.
This free software will replace the person pressing the random notes. It will always be there, never get tired and help you discover your inborn ability for Perfect tone pitch.
This software is totally free but a donation would be appretiated.
This software is totally free. Why? Well if you are like me, I don't like to pay for something that is not worth the price. How many times have I downloaded software which were great but the price was certainly not worth the product... So what do I do? Get it CRACKED!!!
OK... OK... I know, because people crack softwares thats why the prices are high. Well I say to myself, lower the price so that buying the product will be worth it more than trying to find a crack for it. I do not really like finding cracks for software because many times we get virus... uuummm, but many times I take the risk of getting virus because the price of the software I wish to buy is simply not what I would be willing to pay.
You must get my point by now.
I am willing to pay and I believe you are too, as long as the price is fair. I will not decide how much this software is worth. I leave it up to you. If its worth nothing to you, don't send anything its alright.
But if you are using it and you find it useful, send what you think its worth for you. If it's one, five, ten dollar or more, what ever it is, take the time to send it.
Who knows, your donation might encourage us to make better softwares, some that might interest you even more at a price really worth your satisfaction.

Tone Pitch will help you develop perfect tone pitch. On your left is a (short) version of Tone Pitch that you may try online.
This online version works with the central notes "C, D, E, F, G, A, B" seven NOTES no sharps or flats.
With the (full) version you gradually add notes until you reach perfect tone pitch with the whole scale.
How does it work?
Before clicking the button to play a new tone, play the notes starting from the "C" with a dot towards your right until you reach the "B" note. This small version only plays new tones in that range. While you play these notes slowly, listen to the sound they make and try memorizing them... (Hum them as you play them).
Once ready press the button "play a new tone". Listen to it, if you're not sure press the "play tone again" button. Once you think you know the tone press "show tone" button.
If you got it wrong, use "play tone again" and try memorizing it... (Hum it as its played again).
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, thats all. Many think if someone has perfect tone pitch it's because they are gifted. If you are able to hear that one tone is higher or lower than another tone, you will be able to learn the name of the tone you are hearing. That's (PP) Perfect tone pitch.
What to expect?
TonePitch was develop to help users to recognize the pitch of the tones they hear and name them.
Someone who has perfect tone pitch is someone that is able to name the tone pitch of the tones they hear, without an external reference.
TonePitch will help you train your internal reference to identify tone pitch.
We are more solicitated with color than tone in our everyday life and this since our youth. Not that there are more colors than tones. Just that we have learned more since our youth to identify colors compared to tone.
Even though we might know our colors, we do not know the names of all the colors we can see.
Even though we might hear all the tones frequencies we do not know the names of all tones. Most of us were not even trained to name any.
Color red is a name, to me this name might not identify the same color as for you, but we will agree that we are seeing the same color when we place an external reference. (Something with the same color). We will both be able to see that both colors are the same no matter how you or I perceived the name for the color red and be able to have a common name for that color.
Now if we both had to reproduce this red and we did not have our original external reference. The one that would best reproduce the color would prove to have the best INTERNAL reference. Once our colors would have been compared to our original external reference.
Painters who mix paint, to paint cars for example, would certainly have a better inner reference than I. Not because they were born with this internal reference but because they trained comparing and comparing each time they mixed paint until they became good at mixing paint because their internal reference was trained.
All this to say that TonePitch is a great tool to train your internal reference to identify tone pitch by name.
You will find in the full version that you may download, tips on how to train your internal reference and achieve your goals faster.

Tomoyo Kurosawa Interview @ Anime Expo 2015
As part of the upcoming tide of talent in Japanese voice acting, Tomoyo Kurosawa has played roles including Natsuki Koyama in Welcome to THE SPACE SHOW as well as Otome Arisugawa (Aikatsu!), Miria Akagi (The IDOLM@STER Girls), Kumiko Oumae (Sound!

T-ONO: Is this your first time in Los Angeles?
Kurosawa: Yes it is!
T-ONO: Are there any food in particular that you are looking forward to trying while in Los Amgeles?
Kurosawa: Ummm, a big, big, big hamburger!
T-ONO: Have you heard of In-N-Out?
Kurosawa: Yes, I've heard of it! I really want to go there!

T-ONO: In Yuki Yuna is a Hero, your character Itsuki attends an after school club called the Hero Club. Did you attend any after school clubs yourself as a student?
Kurosawa: In middle school, I was actually in the cooking club and when I was in high school, I was part of the music club and played the guitar.

The strategic goal of the National Policy Dialogue in BiH in 2014-2016 is to facilitate an inclusive policy dialogue for the sustainable improvement of social science research in the country. This is to be done by building upon the results of the previous phase of the RRPP in BiH and in particular on the findings of policy research conducted through the three RRPP working groups from the 2011-2013 period.
In order to link the policy dialogue component with other components of the RRPP program and thus increase the quality and influence of the policy dialogue on the social science research, we will strive to integrate activities of the RRPP research projects with the National Policy Dialogue activities in the period 2014 - 2016. Teams of researchers gathered around certain RRPP research projects will be involved in the RRPP NPD activities through participation in policy-making, as well as through sharing experiences and opinions relevant to the issue of research in the social sciences.
The two specific objectives of the National Policy Dialogue in BiH for the 2014-2016 period are the following:
- Creating a Community of Practice - A specific goal is to create a "community of practice" that will include experts and broader group of stakeholders into a dialogue on policy issues related to the development of social science research in the country. The idea is to strengthen and connect researchers working in private and public institutions to become proactive advocates and initiators of policy changes at the micro level (the institution in which they work) and macro level (through broader policy processes). Such efforts will contribute to establishment of functional mechanisms advocating for improvement of the status of social science research in the country by linking researchers, universities, government, parliaments, think‐tanks, and other relevant stakeholders. In this way, we will aim at affecting decision-making processes and procedures by changing how a policy decision-making process is organized. Within this pillar, a dedicated advocacy website will be developed, in order to become a repository of resources and the central advocacy platform for the research reform in the social sciences in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its main purpose will be to generate and collect information, and facilitate policy analysis and debate on key aspects of policy reform in the social science research in BiH.
- Broadening policy debate on social science research by reframing the way issues are debated and creating pressure for change through introduction of new ideas, new ways of thinking about problems and policy issues. Among many potential topics, this in particular relates to identifying potential models for creating enabling environment for social science research in BiH.

Create Your Own Recipes for Juicing
Creating your own recipes for juicing has increased in popularity over the last few years. There are many advantages to home made juice and drinking it every day can improve your over all health. Juicing can work for everyone but not everyone likes or needs the popular recipes for juicing available today.
Some of the advantages to home made juice include but are not limited to,
1. Helping reduce high blood pressure
2. Helping control diabetes
3. Helping control asthma
With a little research you can create your own recipes that are both tasty and target your specific health condition.
· You must truly understand the condition you wish to target.
· Research which vitamins and minerals are linked to improving the condition.
· You must learn which fruits and vegetables have high levels of the vitamins and minerals you need.
· Each fruit or vegetable has different levels of vitamins and minerals so understanding which fruit or vegetable contains the vitamin or mineral you require is vital.
Once you have done this research you can begin to create your recipes. We all know Bananas contain a high level of potassium, Oranges a high level of vitamin C. Once you are familiar with the qualities of different fruits and vegetables you will be able to customize your own recipes that will target the areas you wish to improve.
Always purchase high quality produce this will ensure you are drinking the best possible juice and will increase the effectiveness of your recipe. The best possible produce would be something you grew in your own backyard. This would give you the most control over the ingredients that go into your recipes.
Unfortunately we all cant be gardeners so if you are unable to grow your own then try to purchase organic produce if possible. If organic produce is not available and you need to purchase from a local supermarket then always be sure to wash your produce well. Washing your produce will help ensure you have removed any possible chemicals or insecticides before you begin juicing.
As you progress in developing your recipes for juicing you will be able to better determine how much of each particular ingredient you will need to produce enough juice. Generally speaking you will need around one pound of most fruits or vegetables to produce one cup of juice.
Soon you will find creating your own recipes for juicing will be easy and fun. As most vitamins in fruits and vegetables are in the skin it is best that you not peel them prior to juicing. Although you may wish to peel some citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit
most others you will simply need to take out the pits or any large seeds. Your juicer will remove any stems or anything else so just cut the produce into manageable chunks and throw it in. With these general ideas you will be able to create wonderful recipes for juicing in no time.

After three rounds of action last Friday night in California, the smell of an upset was in the air. Daniel Dawson (40-4-1, 26KOs) of Australia had dropped former champion Austin Trout (27-2), twice, and seemed to be on his way to an upset win. But then Trout started fighting back strong, and Dawson badly injured his calf muscle in the fifth round. He initially tore it in the fifth round and from that point forward he was a one-legged fighter. Trout scored his own knockdown in the eight and piled up the points to win a ten round unanimous decision. Dawson has vowed to come back stronger in the next fight.

Youth violence prevention efforts in Seattle and King County will get $500,000 after U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., included the amount in a Senate bill approved Wednesday.
Murray, a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee who is running for re-election, had the amount included in the 2011 Senate Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Bill.
The bill contains $100,000 for the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative and $400,000 for the King County Sheriff's Office Gang Intervention Initiative.
"Investing in safer neighborhoods will help teenagers in Seattle and King County make the important connections they need to succeed in school and life and stay out of violent gangs and the criminal justice system," Murray said in a statement. "We will only be successful in decreasing gang activity and youth violence in our cities if we reach out to the at-risk youth who are most vulnerable.
"I'm committed to making sure the community has the resources they need to offer that helping hand."
The 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment indicates increased gang activity in the Pacific Northwest and reports that in some communities gangs are responsible for as much as 80 percent of all violent crime.
The multi-million dollar Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative was started in 2009 after five Seattle teenagers were shot to death the previous year. All those five cases homicides unsolved, and some have been hindered by the reluctance of witnesses to come forward or be forthcoming. Read more about the 2008 cases here.
The overall Initiative focuses on about 800 young people a year who are at highest risk of perpetuating violence or becoming victims, according to city officials. It also includes a middle school police emphasis team where officers work to improve attendance and train children to deal with conflict.
The King County Sheriff's Office Gang Intervention Initiative includes a new comprehensive gang intervention and juvenile detention diversion program, according to Murray. The initiative is intended to prevent juvenile gang activity through intervention, mentoring, education and enforcement.

Holy mother of pearls. Shakira looks to be getting back into the swing of the sextastic post-motherhood, bringing out hew engorged sucklers for a little show-off time at an exhibition in Barcelona last night that saw the Colombian singer/dance and world's hottest midget announce to the ogling world that she's not going anywhere.
We have so lusted for Shakira over the past several years. Inch for inch and pound for pound, perhaps more for Shakira than any other woman. And we have shed a tear or happiness this morning to see her back in the camera's eye. She's needed. She's wanted. And she's even more boobtastic than ever. Enjoy.

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
July 30, 2017
Event Navigation
"Human traffickers prey on the most desperate and vulnerable. To end this inhumane practice, we must do more to shield migrants and refugees — and particularly young people, women and children — from those who would exploit their yearnings for a better, safer and more dignified future."
Former Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

Human trafficking is a crime that exploits women, children and men for numerous purposes including forced labour and sex. The International Labour Organization estimates that 21 million people are victims of forced labour globally. This estimate also includes victims of human trafficking for labour and sexual exploitation. While it is not known how many of these victims were trafficked, the estimate implies that currently, there are millions of trafficking in persons victims in the world.
Every country in the world is affected by human trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims. The link between the refugee and migration crisis and trafficking in persons was highlighted at this year's observance of the day by the UN Office for Drugs and Crime.
In 2010, the General Assembly adopted the Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons, urging Governments worldwide to take coordinated and consistent measures to defeat this scourge. The Plan calls for integrating the fight against human trafficking into the UN's broader programmes in order to boost development and strengthen security worldwide. One of the crucial provisions in the Plan is the establishment of a UN Voluntary Trust Fund for victims of trafficking, especially women and children.
In 2013, the General Assembly held a high-level meeting to appraise the Global Plan of Action. Member States also adopted resolution A/RES/68/192 and designated July 30 as the World Day against Trafficking in Persons. This resolution declared that such a day was necessary to "raise awareness of the situation of victims of human trafficking and for the promotion and protection of their rights."

Import of goods into the Gaza Strip is limited as part of the 2007–present blockade of the Gaza Strip imposed by Israel and Egypt. Israel allows limited humanitarian supplies from aid organizations into the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian organizations, including UN agencies, bring goods into Gaza. As of May 2010, they have brought in, according to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories of the Israel Defense Forces, 1.5 million liters of diesel fuel and gasoline, fruits and vegetables, wheat, sugar, meat, chicken and fish products, dairy products, animal feed, hygiene products, clothing and shoes.[1]
Cement, wood, iron, cattle, animal medicine, musical instruments, notebooks were among the items banned before June, 2010.[2]
Israelis protest Gaza blockade
Hundreds of Israelis have rallied in central Tel Aviv to protest against the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Arab and Jewish activists marched on Saturday in the city's Rabin square, chanting slogans and waving signs calling for "Freedom and Justice in Gaza".
The protesters demanded Israel end the blockade, deeming its continuation a "war crime", the AFP news agency reported.
The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli blockade since 2007 when Hamas seized power in the territory.

Perhaps if true the reason would be terrorist messages or codes could be embedded in music to help their cause? If that is the reason it's legitimate in itself. Who knows.

Arabic production companies such as Rotana, Melody Music, and Mazzika are not permitted to bring in their goods to entrain the people of Gaza. Even DVDs of Hollywood blockbusters do not make it into Gaza like they used to prior to the embargo.
I came to learn this summer that Israel bans genuine music CDs and movie DVDs from making it into Gaza. As I was trying to put a list of good songs together to play at my engagement party, I was shocked to learn that no genuine music CDS are sold in Gaza.

Please find attached my current patch for automatic view update rules. This is a stripped down version of my former patch discussed before 8.3 without CHECK OPTION support and less invasive changes to the rewriter itself. I'm currently cleaning up the code with all occurences of multiple base relations (in progress) hence supporting SQL92 at the moment, only If we decide to go further with this approach i would like to work on the CHECK OPTION implementation based on some ideas we had in the past (e.g. rewriter/executor support). Note that i'm still working on this (for example, RETURNING is missing yet), As always, discussion welcome ;) -- Thanks Bernd

What does AWN mean?
Definitions for AWNɔn
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word AWN.
Princeton's WordNet
slender bristlelike appendage found on the bracts of grasses
The bristle or beard of barley, oats, grasses, etc., or any similar bristlelike appendage; arista.
Origin: aw(u)ne, agune, agene, from Old Danish aghn (compare modern avne), from aganō 'chaff' (compare ægnan, Frisian/Dutch agen, German Ahne, Agen), from aḱanā (compare Old Latin agna 'ear of wheat', Lithuanian asnis, Czech osina, Ancient Greek ἄκαινα, ἄκανος, Sanskrit अशनि, from h₂eḱ. More at edge.
Webster Dictionary
the bristle or beard of barley, oats, grasses, etc., or any similar bristlelike appendage; arista
Origin: [OE. awn, agune, from Icel. gn, pl. agnir; akin to Sw. agn, Dan. avne, Goth. ahana, OHG. agana, G. agen, ahne, chaff, Gr. 'a`chnh, AS. egla; prob. from same root as E. acute. See 3d Ear. 1.]
In botany, an awn is either a hair- or bristle-like appendage on a larger structure, or in the case of the Asteraceae, a stiff needle-like element of the pappus. Awns are characteristic of many grasses, where they extend from the lemmas of the florets. This often makes the hairy appearance of the grass synfloresce. Awns may be long or short, straight or curved, single or multiple per floret. Some genera are named after their awns, such as the three-awns. In some species, the awns can contribute significantly to photosynthesis, as in, for example barley. The awns of wild emmer wheat spikelets effectively self-cultivate by propelling themselves mechanically into soils. During a period of increased humidity during the night, the awns of the spikelet become erect and draw together, and in the process push the grain into the soil. During the daytime the humidity drops and the awns slacken back again; however, fine silica hairs on the awns act as hooks in the soil and prevent the spikelets from reversing back out again. During the course of alternating stages of daytime and nighttime humidity, the awns' pumping movements, which resemble a swimming frog kick, drill the spikelet as much as an inch into the soil.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
awn, n. a scale or husk: beard of corn or grass.—adjs. Awned; Awn′less; Awn′y. [Ice. ögn; Ger. ahne.]

I thought Joe Biden's speech got off to a slow start. During the sections where Biden attested to the character he saw present in Barack Obama's decision-making from his vantage point inside the White House, he said too little about what, specifically, that decision-making produced for the American people.
However, he did make a good case on behalf of Obama's character during his discussion of the auto-bailout, and in the process, he took direct aim at Mitt Romney's whole rational for running for president:
When I look back on the president's decision, I think of another son of an automobile man — Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney grew up in Detroit....his dad ran an entire automobile company, American Motors. In spite of that, he was willing to let Detroit go bankrupt. I don't think he's a bad guy. I'm sure he grew up loving cars as much as I did. I don't think he understood that saving the automobile worker — saving the industry — what it meant to all of America.
I think he saw it the Bain way. I think he saw it in terms of balance sheets and write-offs. Folks, the Bain way may bring your firm the highest profits. But it's not the way to lead our country from the highest office.
When things hung in the balance, the president understood this was about a lot more than the automobile industry. This was about restoring America's pride. He understood in his gut what it would mean to leave a million people without hope or work if he didn't act.
The Obama campaign has obviously been attacking Romney's Bain tenure for months, focusing on layoffs and offshoring. But one case that hasn't been spelled out as clearly as it might have been is that running a corporation doesn't necessarily have all that much in common with running a country. The Romney campaign's "Mad Men" are apparently reading a huge ad offensive designed to tout his experience and readiness for the presidency, and judging from polls that show Romney either tied with Obama or leading him on the economy, Americans are prepared to accept the premise that his business experience has left him with the skill set necessary to turn around the fortunes of a country. The Obama campaign will need a good rebuttal — one focused on undermining the very premise of Romney's whole argument, that his corporate experience has prepared him for the presidency.

A man convicted of the largest fraud in Saskatchewan history is going to prison.
And so is his daughter.
A Saskatoon judge sentenced Ron Fast to seven years on Friday. His daughter, Danielle Fast-Carlson, was given a 30-month sentence.
They stole $16.7 million from 250 elderly investors.
Harsh words from the bench
"You are bereft of a moral compass," said Justice Richard Danyliuk of Ron Fast.
"The sheer magnitude of this fraud is compelling. Few cases reach this level of deprivation."
At various points, Danyliuk referred to Fast as a thief, a coward and a user.
Al Procyshyn is one of the victims.
He said the judge missed one characterization.
"He's arrogant. That's the only word that the judge didn't use, he's arrogant. That's the word I'll use," said Procyshyn.
'A thief and a coward.' - Justice Richard Danyliuk
The case dates back almost a decade and involved a company run by Fast called Marathon Leasing Corporation.
In 1980, it began as a vehicle leasing business but expanded into the financing of restaurant equipment and then, later, a series of intertwined companies. Fast attracted investors by offering higher-than-usual interest rates.
Danielle Fast-Carlson worked as the company accountant and bookkeeper in its later years.
Sentence appropriate: Crown
Prosecutor Gary Parker had argued for a ten-year sentence for Ron Fast, but said that the seven years "is entirely appropriate".
"It was a large fraud, in excess of $16 million, involving about 250 victims. I believe it's the largest in Saskatchewan history."
The judge made a restitution order against Fast of $16.7 million.

The options were priced at 79 cents each, the closing price on Friday. The additional compensation was granted on Monday, according to the filing.

Its That Fear - Poem by LULU MERO
It's that fear
Ooo very scary! !
I bet you don't know it
Keeps you worried
It's that fear...
Very loud in your ear..
But not everyone could hear
It's that fear
Why? Y u even here
Leaving people in tears..
It's that fear
Born and raised
Can be of denial
Struggles, family or revival
It's that fear
That keeps consuming..
Consuming us in out! !
Eating us away...
It's that fear
The fear we hate
Come to us in pace
In life circumstance
It's that fear
Can anyone hear?
Like a monster or dear?
I wish it was fair..
it's that fear
Some say never fear
But in the back they tear
Overwhelmed can't even dare
Trying to overcome the fear..
It's that fear
The fear which keep us
Us alive and awake
Awake from unexpected
Awake to fight against
It's that fear
I want all to hear..
You and me here..
We need to chase Mr. Fear
We could make it
Make this a better world
Without the fear
The fear of loss
The fear of famine
The fear of war
The fear of poverty
The fear of religion
The fear of recognition
Why are we in fear...?
Can't it be there not here..
It's time to chase him out there
Leaving us in peace in here
It's that fear
The fear which is not only mine
It's that fear for all
The fear we both hear
Hear from different angles
Hear in different times
We all just don't want him here...
The fear we both imagine
An illusion body..
Could affect your goals
Never entertain that fear.

The differences between hockey rivals Canada, U.S.
Published 5:38 pm, Thursday, February 20, 2014
Photo: Pool, Getty Images
Most Americans probably felt a little bummed when they heard Thursday afternoon that the U.S. women had blown a 2-0 lead to lose to Canada in the gold-medal game at the Winter Olympics. Or maybe they were just happy the U.S. won silver.
Up in Canada, people were glued to their televisions, clutching their stomachs as their team fell behind, hugging each other as their women took the game to overtime and then calling the victory one of their country's greatest sporting moments.
With the U.S. and Canadian men set to face off Friday for a spot in their gold-medal match, we thought this was a good time to examine differences between us and our northern neighbors, on and off the ice.

Axelrod notes 'tax day' scenario for bombings as police look for rental van, hooded man
David Axelrod is a 100 percent political animal, so it probably won't surprise you that he appears to have an inner wish—that some right wing extremist be fingered as the Boston bomber.
Axelrod appeared on a network known for its rabid Leftist slant, so he was right at home when he said this about what was going through President Barack Obama's mind:
[I]t was tax day. Was it someone who was pro--you know, you just don't know.
Axelrod and the administration he helped place in power are among the most partisan in recent U.S. history.
Meanwhile, reports continue to roll in about the investigation, with some new details emerging.
So far, media accounts report three people were killed in the blasts.
· A video of a mystery man in a hoodie was popular on social media like Twitter shortly after the bombing. WPIX in New York ran the video of a figure making his way across a rooftop in the vicinity of the bombings. No word yet on whether the video is genuine or may have been doctored.
· Fox News in Boston said authorities "took several large bags" from an apartment in Revere early on Tuesday morning. Fox said, "The Revere Fire Department wrote on its Facebook page that firefighters responded to the scene for a search for "a person of interest."
· The Christian Science Monitor reported that federal officials had raided "an apartment in a nearby suburb"—is that the Revere apartment or a new one? This isn't clear at present. CSM also said authorities are looking for a rental van and the mystery man in the WPIX video.
· The Boston Police Dept. said via Twitter they are collecting all video from surveillance cameras in the blast area.
· Reason Magazine said cell phone service in the blast area wasn't shut down by authorities on Monday, but was "flooded" by callers.
· The Boston Police Dept. maintains a Twitter account: @Boston_Police.
· According to the Associated Press, Obama will speak again about the bombings at a press conference scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Thus far, pressers have been more about politics than national security.

The New York Post has followed up with remarks from the Saudi national's roommate, among other pieces of information.
More coming in as news filters to the Blogosphere:
Now authorities say the bombs were placed in duffel bags and left on the street rather than being placed in trash cans. As numerous security pundits have noted, the bomb apparatus appears similar to bombs used in countries like Afghanistan.
CNS News has pointed out the Jihad call for attacks on U.S. sporting events with an emphasis on inflicting civilian casualties.
Debate continues about whether the attack was launched by a small cell or a lone wolf.

Martin and his wife Margaretha had seven children, as named in his will:
- Christopher Weidman
- Maria Elisabeth Weidman
- Wendell Weidman
- Johan Jacob Weidman
- Anna Margaretha Weidman
- Maria Barbara Weidman
- Catharina Weidman
Maria Elisabetha Weidman married my 6x great-grandfather and immigrant, Johan "Hans" Adam Hacker. Her sister, Anna Margaretha Weidman, married Adam's younger brother Johan Georg Hacker. Both men settled in Cocalico Township on land near to Martin Weidman's warranted tracts. While Adam and his family remained in Lancaster County, George eventually moved his family to Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County, just north of Germantown.
I believe the Weidmans may have been from Graben. A 1709 list of inhabitants2 of the town list "Christoph Weidtmann" and "Matthias Weidtmann," possibly Martin's father and uncle?

The League of Women Voters of Lawrence-Douglas County is starting a series of programs to explain its mission and its position on local, state and national issues.
The first presentation, titled "The ABC's of County Government: Its Function in Our Daily Lives," will be held on Sept. 19 in the Douglas County Courthouse commission room. County Commission Chairman Mike Gaughan will speak and County Administrator Craig Weinaug will be on hand to answer questions.
The presentations typically will be held on the third Thursday of every month from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and those who attend are encouraged to bring their lunch.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan group that encourages and registers people to vote. Marilyn Roy, a League member who helped develop the new programs, said the League also develops positions on some issues and policy.
"What these programs are designed to do is bring those issues forward to the people," Roy said. "Our purpose is to demonstrate what we do and how the League can connect with — and hopefully help — people in Lawrence."

How Hurricane Sandy Challenges the Best Backup Strategies
Most of New York's businesses that were affected by Hurricane Sandy have completed their recoveries and are back to business as usual. Some were hit so hard as to be left with a major deficit in their budgets, perhaps forever. Those that took the time to prepare and think out their backup strategies were the ones least affected, in some cases with no real downtime at all, even in blacked out regions. Firms that need to comply with SEC or other requirements may have already had Business Continuity plans in effect which outlined every action to take in an emergency. Others may simply have been able to think on their feet with the resources they had in place.
One thing seems consistent however. As we review the damage Sandy did to business it's become clear that some of the normal ways we think of backup are no longer effective. Those that were weak have been outmoded as useless, and those that were considered robust would appear to be barely better than going down with the ship. In this post-sandy city, we must keep our collective minds above water and think clearly about how to make efficient, usable and accessible backups for our businesses.

If you needed any reason as to why the Oakland Athletics named 25-year old Brett Anderson as the team's Opening Day starter, you only have to go back to the team's last win by a starter.
That would have been on October 9, in the AL division series that saw the A's down in a two-game hole in the five-game series against the Detroit Tigers.
They needed a win to stay alive then, and they called on their best pitcher, which just happened to be a kid who'd only thrown 35 innings in the regular season as a result of having to come back from Tommy John surgery.
Despite the relative inexperience, Anderson delivered. The lefty gave the A's six innings of two-hit ball, holding the Tigers scoreless while striking out six. He not only gave the team a chance to win the game – he gave them the belief that they could come back in the series.
The A's lost in a do-or-die Game 5, but they would not have gotten there if not for their ace.
It's not a word thrown around lightly, considering that the rest of the team had a group of rookie pitchers that carried the team all the way to the playoffs even with Anderson's absence. But, it's exactly what he's poised to be in 2013.
Forget for a moment that he's the most tenured A's pitcher, even at just the age of 25. Anderson also happens to be the team's most talented arm right now – as long as he's healthy, anyway. To prove it, there was the 2.80/1,19 ERA/WHIP he'd put up over 112.1 innings in 2010 before he ran into elbow problems, and the 2.84/1.10 ratio his first 11 starts in 2011 before that same elbow blew up and needed surgery.
In 2012, coming off the layoff, Anderson barely missed a beat, allowing just a two earned runs his his first four starts before an oblique injury took him out until the playoffs.
Yes, health may be a problem, but the talent was never in doubt.
That's the reason why he's going to be starting for the A's on Opening Day, and so far in Spring Training, he's done nothing to show the team why they should change their mind.
In his first outing for Oakland on Thursday, Anderson was in ace form, pitching a near-perfect two innings, allowing just a single and striking out one. Sure, it was against the lowly Chicago Cubs, but the left-hander had his stuff working, drawing contact that led to ground balls on almost every single at bat (4.00 GB/FB).
It's an evolution that Anderson has gone through over his career, as he came up to the bigs with a 1.49 GB/FB ratio, eventually building that up to 3.59 last season. That's the kind of refinement and polish that has the team ready to put him – and not Jarrod Parker or Bartolo Colon – out there when the season starts.
By the looks of it, Anderson is ready to take that role for a full season for the first time in his young career.

"THE LADY OR THE TIGER?" by Frank Stockton
A barbaric king has an arena built to publicly punish criminals.
In the arena the criminal has a choice between two doors that will decide their fate.
Behind one door lays a tiger which will kill the criminal.
Behind the other door lays a bride that the criminal will marry.
The king finds out that his daughter has been secretly seeing a common man, so he decides to put the man in the arena like other criminals.
The princess knows what is behind each of the doors, so she points the man (her lover) to one of the doors.
The author leaves the reader hanging by not concluding the story. He asks at the end,
"The Lady or the tiger?"
What is irony?
Irony is the contrast between what the expectations of a situation are and what is really the case.
Why is this short story ironic?
The princess is the one who loses in the situation.
Trent Lorcher, a teacher writing on an online blog comments, "The ironic structure of the story--it has no end, for example--highlights the irony present in the story: the princess and not the criminal is the story's true loser."
One would think that because the princess's lover is the one in the arena, he loses. At least he has a possible positive outcome. Either way the princess loses here man.
This picture is ironic because you would think that someone posing for Colgate toothpaste would have beautiful teeth, but in this case the lady does not have teeth at all!
The king is labeled as semi-barbaric in the story meaning that he is somewhat insane. This characteristic is shown when he has the arena built only to punish or reward criminals publically. He likes the surprise factor of giving the subjects a choice of their fate.
Although the subjects get to choose which door they want, fate still decides what is behind the door that the subject chose.Fate represents the doors because either way, what is behind the door will be determined by the subject's fate.
By now we all know that Frank Stockton uses irony, characterization, and symbolism in this short story but what does it all show?
He uses these lit-devices to show that
can impact a culture or an individual greatly.
For irony, the princess's
, which is unknown in the story, will ultimately change the life of not only herself, but of the man.
For characterization the royals being semi- barbaric causes both the king and the princess to make certain
that could possibly cause a different outcome to the story.
For symbolism, the doors will be the deciding factor of what happens to the criminal. The doors symbolize the
of fate and whether or not the criminal lives or dies.
The princess is also labeled as semi-baric in the story because she is the daughter of the semi-barbaric king. She inherited the characteristic from her father. Her craziness is not bluntly stated in the story, but it can be inferred by whichever door the reader thinks she pointed her lover too.

I have the Travel Pro and the large plastic travel case. Neither one is close to the Cargo Golf 1100. Plenty of room for clubs, easy to attach top, never a problem with TSA. Goes from plane to cart with no hassle. Special handle make pulling the bag without the top attached very easy. You can roll the bag through the parking lot. Room for shoes and I like the wrap around skirt that covers the entire bag during flights. I travel at least 25 times per year with golf clubs and this bag is the best I have ever had. Five stars and worth the price.

Instead, let Jet Wolf do it for you. Here's the week's worth of random shit that I took the trouble to bookmark, just for you.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- A trademark used for a yarn made of plastic-coated aluminum filaments.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
A Lurex sweater over a dress says: "I'm going out but not all out."
In New York, the looks ranged from a sparkly Lurex hoodie at Marc Jacobs , to asymmetrical hoods attached to sport coats at Rag & Bone, to a leather hoodie at upscale menswear designer Simon Spurr .
Here, a Lurex hoodie from Marc Jacobs's runway show in New York.
Diana Vreeland decorated her 1955 apartment to look like "a garden in hell"; in 2011 Katrantzou morphed images of Vreeland's apartment into a collection of Lurex knits – clothes that appear even wilder when you see them against today's Céline-led landscape of clean lines, camel, "good taste".
A number of labels showed flashy pieces that looked like eveningwear, in shiny Lurex, sequins, metallic paillettes and crushed velvet, but paired them — sometimes incongruously — with down-to-earth daywear.
The haute designer will launch a collection for Target April 25 that will include a stretchy gold Lurex halter dress for $49.99 or about 1/40th of his typical runway-line prices.
A note of caution: If you want a padded, white and Lurex onesy with a fox-fur collar, you should go elsewhere.
Choose ONE shiny garment, perhaps a sweater with a little Lurex thread in the knit, and add ONE shiny accessory.
While others offered Lurex waistcoats and aloha-print bra tops (in sizes that only models can manage), Allard once again offered the classic and practical.
Lurex, embroideries and a T-accessory made of glittering stones are the ingredients of this delicious-cocktail.

Are you so far in debt that you think you may have no choice but to file bankruptcy in the near future? If so, then before you decide to begin filing paperwork to declare bankruptcy, it is imperative that you exhaust all other options. No matter how hopeless things may seem right now, the fact remains that there are some steps that you can take to better your financial situation before you resort to filing for bankruptcy. After all, a bankruptcy can severely hurt your credit score and make for a difficult financial future until that score is built back up.
If you are struggling with repaying debt that you owe, you may want to look into debt counseling as a way of getting help. Click here to see some of the best debt counseling companies online. You can also read debt counseling company reviews http://www.nationaldebtreliefreviews.com/ After all, most people who fall into deep amounts of debt and filing for bankruptcy end up in trouble because they simply were not aware as to how the loan and loan repayment process worked. For example, a person being late on a car payment may not have realized that even being late one time would result in a hefty late fee in addition to a hike in his or her interest rate. These mistakes happen to even the best of us, and the first step to tackling issues with debt is to become as well-informed as possible.
Through debt counseling, it is possible to meet with a professional financial adviser as a way of assessing your current financial situation and getting the help that you need in digging your way out of debt. It is helpful to note that there are two different types of debt counseling.
Pre-Bankruptcy Counseling
If you are already set on filing for bankruptcy, the fact remains that you will most likely still need to work with a counselor before hand. After all, the United States government actually requires all citizens who wish to declare bankruptcy to go through a debt counseling program. The reason for this is to better educate these people about their finances and about how loans work so that they are more empowered to be financially successful once the bankruptcy goes through. It is thought that having them go through such a program will reduce their chances of falling back into debt once again.
Traditional Debt Counseling
Fortunately, a lot of people considering bankruptcy can ultimately rule that option out by going through a traditional debt counseling program. Specifically, this involves bringing information about all of your debts, income, and other financial records to the table so that they can be analyzed by a trained financial expert. By taking a careful look at your spending, income, and debts owed, it is possible for the counselor to help you come up with a new budget and repayment plan for the debt that you owe.
In this sense, getting out of debt could not require anything more than simply writing and sticking to a new budget. Your counselor will be able to work with you to come up with a reasonable repayment plan that will get you out of debt sooner than if you were to continue just making your minimum payments. Furthermore, your counselor can work with your creditors to negotiate the terms of your loan, which could result in lower interest rates and even more savings for you.
So if you think that you could benefit from debt counseling, now is the time to get into contact with a reputable debt counselor in your area. Of course, you will not just want to choose any counselor; instead, you should take the time to research and read various reviews of ones that are in your area. This will help you get a better idea as to which ones are reputable and what you can expect from them as well.
Furthermore, it is common practice for many debt counselors these days to offer a free initial consultation, so it may not hurt to take advantage of this offer. This can help you get answers to some of the questions that you may have about negotiating your debts and coming up with a viable repayment plan and financial budget. From there, you can work towards becoming debt-free.

Many local authority staff to work more hours
MORE THAN 5,000 staff in 11 local authorities will have to work longer hours from next March on foot of a binding Labour Court recommendation issued yesterday.
Under the recommendation, a minimum 34-hour working week is to be set for staff in local authorities around the country.
All newly recruited staff will have to work a 35-hour week.
Up to now there has been a wide variation in the number of work hours set for staff in local authorities.
The Labour Court recommendation said that in 18 of the State's 34 local authorities, staff worked a 35-hour week.
However, in the remaining 16, staff worked a variety of hours ranging from 32 hours, 55 minutes per week to 34 hours, 45 minutes.
Staff in Galway County Council have the shortest working week at 32 hours, 55 minutes.
In four local authorities – Clare, Meath, Limerick city and Galway city – staff work a 33-hour week.
The trade union Impact said the staff affected by the Labour Court recommendation were mainly in clerical, administrative, engineering, technical and related grades.
The Labour Court said outdoor staff in local authorities worked a 39-hour week.
Local authority managers had sought to introduce a standardised working week across the State under the provisions of the Croke Park agreement.
However, unions had contended there was no specific provision in the agreement to increase staff hours.
Impact had argued that an increase would constitute a reduction in pay rates which were protected under the Croke Park deal. It suggested that any increase in hours would trigger an entitlement to compensation.
In its recommendation, the Labour Court found that a 35-hour week should be retained for all personnel where this currently applied.
It also said that where full-time staff worked more than 34 hours and less than 35 hours, these arrangements should also be maintained.
However, it recommended that the working week of all other full-time staff who currently worked less than 34 hours should be brought up to this level.
It said there should be a pro-rata increase for part-time personnel or those who were job-sharing.
The Labour Court also recommended that a standard 35-hour week be put in place for all newly recruited or newly promoted staff in local authorities.
In lieu of claims for compensation, the Labour Court recommended that the additional hours come into effect from March 1st of next year.
Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Brendan Howlin welcomed the court's recommendation and said it represented "another step forward" for the Croke Park deal.
However, he said the local authorities involved "must ensure that management use the additional productivity to maintain and improve frontline services".
