This is truly a pitiful act by Prime Cleric Richard Ruff of The International Congregation of Lord RayEL who consequently considers himself to be the biblical 'Moses'.
Richard Ruff faked a press release and posted this in the International Congregation of Lord RayEL in an attempt to impress the delusional congregation that he is one of Gods chosen .

The Coffee Diaries: Map of ALL Cafés in Kota Damansara (PJU 5) + My Top 3 Picks!
I love Kota Damansara. When I moved back to Malaysia a few months ago, I knew I wanted to live away from the city but not from the liveliness. Kota Damansara has grown so much, attracting more people than ever, is very walkable with plenty of charming places to see, yet just far enough from everything I dislike about city life (traffic mostly). My family still lives here after 17 years. Now, it has become my home too. Since moving here, I discovered that KD is full of interesting little nooks if you spend enough time exploring. I enjoy having coffee at beautiful cafés and nearly every month, I would discover someplace new with charming decor, great food and best yet, fantastic coffee. With some research and exploration, I decided to create a map of all of Kota Damansara (PJU 5)'s cafés to share with curious folks, along with a list of my top 3 best cafés in Kota Damansara (in no particular order). Hope you find the map useful and maybe catch you at a café here soon.
Top 3 Best Cafés in Kota Damansara
1. Wood & Steel
Image source: [1]
Ah, yes. The one that started it all. Deserving every bragging right it has earned, Wood & Steel was the café that pioneered the whole coffee/café/art/hipster culture in Kota Damansara. There were many others that popped up just about the time W&S did, but none made nearly as great of an impression and none survived as long as they did - for a really good reason. Designed around the elements of wood and steel (hence the namesake), I can only describe the interior as a walk inside an artist's mind. The place is part café, part furniture shop - that table you're eating on? That's for sale. That gorgeous armchair at the corner? That's for sale too. But design factor aside, you've also got a place that serves up a wholesome, great-looking and great-tasting meals with your favourite coffee selections.
Go here for: a fantastic breakfast and an endless stream of snaps for your Instagram feed Price range: $$ / 5
2. Olfactory Bulb
Image source: [2]
I found Olfactory Bulb by chance one day while walking towards Sunway Giza. There had been so many other cafés popping up all over town in recent months - many of them carbon copies of each other - so I really didn't place any high expectations when I finally decided to pay a visit one day and walk up to its entrance on the first floor. Past its glass and metal-framed door is a tastefully designed enclave - a respite - from the heat, or rain, or whatever. Cozy and plush with earthen decor and warm hues, this place is by far my favourite find. I mean, it's actually quite sexy. You'll want to cuddle in here, with a hot chocolate in hand listening to soulful tunes in the background. It's thoughtfully designed with nooks to fit singles, couples or groups, and is perfect for a quiet cuppa, well, just because. Their superb variety of coffee beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and beautifully crafted dessert menu will keep you occupied.
Go here for: Unique coffee- and tea-based drink concoctions you won't get anywhere else and a death by dessert Price range: $$ / 5
3. Rimba & Rusa
Image source: [3]
The latest café-restaurant addition to Kota Damansara is no new kid on the block. Rimba & Rusa by Wondermilk is part of the popular, long-running Malaysian restaurant chain Wondermilk. The menu is proudly Malaysian yet juggles a careful curation between local and international fares, whipped up by the very talented people behind the name who have carefully carved out a portion of the hipster franchise and took it up a dozen notches or so. The two-level establishment serves fine dining quality food inspired by local and other cultures of the world, and a beautiful - just absolutely beautiful - serving of desserts.
Come here for: a plethora of gorgeous, high-quality food selections and some homegrown cold pressed juices Price: $$$ / 5
Map of ALL Cafes in Kota Damansara (PJU 5)
This is it! If you're a coffee lover, an Instagram addict or just wanting to kill some time in the area, this map shows you exactly where to have coffee in Kota Damansara (PJU 5). Hope the map helps!
Disclaimer: I made this map to the best of my knowledge of the cafés in the area. It is by no means 100% complete but it is certainly a pretty comprehensive one. I try to include all the cafés in Kota Damansara Section 5 and thus may have missed on some which I have yet to discover and new ones that pop up every couple of months. However, if you know of any that are not included here and think it should be, do let me know in the comments and I'd be happy to make a quick run and personally check it out. All the locations marked on the map are to the best of accuracy (if not more accurate than Google Maps). Lastly, do keep coming back because this map is constantly being updated.
- 6th Aug 2015: Added Bmon Cafe and Houze Coffee
- 27th Oct 2015: Added Fifth Palate, Rebellions and updated The Library Coffee & Bar (now closed).
- 1st May 2016: Added Kreit Café
- 1st April 2017: I'm sad to announce that this post will no longer have any more updates. I've moved houses and travelling more than ever now. I'm just unable to keep the list up. However, the post will remain for old times' sake. Perhaps it'll be helpful to someone.

Whether you think they're kind of creepy or cute and cuddly, bats are a valuable part of our ecosystem and a friend to humankind. April 17 is National Bat Appreciation Day and at Silver Dollar City we love our bats!
Unlike any other theme park in the United States, Silver Dollar City coexists among the geography, flora and fauna of its home, the Missouri Ozarks. In fact, as it's well known, the park owes its existence entirely to a natural Ozarks formation, Marvel Cave. Like a seed, this underground world brought forth the Silver Dollar City we know today.
And bats have always been an important part of Marvel Cave's history. In 1884, when it turned out that there wasn't any marble in Marble Cave, the Marble Cave Mining & Manufacturing Company turned to bat guano, which was plentiful in the cave, for its survival. Due to its high concentrations of nitrogen, phosphate and potassium, guano was a sought after ingredient for fertilizer and gun powder. They were able sell this free gift from the cave's bat population for $700 a ton. Considering the rate of inflation, that would be somewhere in the area of $15,000 a ton in 2017.
Mining operations in Marvel Cave ceased towards the end of the 19th century, but the bats of Marvel Cave continue to be an asset today. Four bat species spend at least part of their time in the cave: the tricolored bat also known as the eastern pipistrelle (Perimyotis subflavus); the little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus); the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus); and the gray bat (Myotis grisescens ). There are estimated to be around 80,000 bats inhabiting the cave and each can eat thousands of pesky insects each night including the annoying and potentially dangerous mosquito. Thank you bats!
If you're still not too fond of this unappreciated mammal, don't worry. The bats themselves are shy and reclusive, shunning all contact with humans. You can visit Marvel Cave without fear of an unwanted encounter with these subterranean citizens of Silver Dollar City.

Nature: Therapy for your soul?
Have you ever experienced the natural high that one can achieve simply by escaping the hustle and bustle of the city? For some it might mean standing on top of a mountain, but for others it can be as simple as a walk in the park. It's a feeling of freedom and contentment and if you've never experienced that feeling before, I challenge you to make an attempt. It is real, and it's powerful, but like so many of the good things in life, you must search for it, not only in the forests or on top of a mountain, but also within yourself.
"To the dull mind nature is leaden; to the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light"
Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
"I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order."
-John Burroughs
"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountain is going home; that wildness is necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life."

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus User Manual C Spire (SM-G955UZKAACG)
Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus User Manual C Spire Overview
Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus User Manual C Spire – In case you are still settling on the Samsung Galaxy S8 or the Galaxy S8 +, at this point there is just one thing that you need to consider: what is the huge need for your phone?
For a large number of people, the small 5.5-inch S8 will be ideal. It is more reasonable in one hand, and will fit easily in your pocket. Anyway, in case you are acclimated to larger handsets, for example, the IPhone 7 Plus, Google pixel XL or Nexus 6 p at this point, I propose to decide the S8 +.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 + is shocking to every point. This is actually the smoothest Android phone I've ever held, and makes the iphone 7 and iphone 7 plus feel archaic in correlation. It is sharp-but it does not give up the convenience for style.
The screen estimate of 6.2 inches seems immense, especially since the lion's share of larger handsets stick to screen sizes in the vicinity of 5.5 and 5.7 inches. The latest leader phone I can make sure to wear a 6-inch show was the Motorola-assembled Nexus 6-and that was a bad dream to use. However, that is another story here. This is a big screen phone that feels awesome, and the credit has to be given to Samsung to make a phone that feels very good.
The folded front and back help it to settle into your socket, and the limited contour implies that your palm is not extended to such a degree as it is holding an IPhone 7 plus. It's in reality on the size as an IPhone 7 plus-despite the fact that it just has a 5.5-inch show-and it's shorter than the huge Sony Xperia XZ Premium.
Because of the big screen, I ended up trying to move my thumb easily from the base to the highest point of the show in a solitary motion, inviting me to hold the gadget with both hands. In any case, the biggest problem with size is the situation of the unique brand scanner. In a movement that cries to come short of time to install it directly into the show, the S8 + sensor is modest and packaged next to the camera. It is quite difficult to reach on the small S8, but here is for all the intentions and unimaginable ends without getting out of your thumb.
On the edges of the gadget to sit your race from the rocker volume factory and rescue catches, but they were joined by a key committed for quick access to the new voice of Samsung collaborator. Given the way the butcher is forced, he appears a waste giving him his own particular grip. Fortunately, you can without much of a Stretch negligence it-unless you accidentally hit it when you are striving to lower the volume. There is a SIM and MicroSD card space along the highest point of the phone, and a headphone jack and a mono speaker framing the type C USB port on the base.
Like the S7, the S8 + is IP68 evaluated for water protection and can be immersed in 1 m of water for about 30 minutes. Not at all like the S7, either as it may, Samsung dropped these equipment catches and disappeared virtual. The house plug even highlights a tactile reaction and can be obtained from anywhere by simply pushing down on the lower bit of the show.
The S8 + is accessible in an alternative of the same Séduisante'Orchid Gray'qui is light with a trace of blue and a dark forehead. I am glad to see Samsung throw the white forehead totally, especially since it would have brought back the "immensity" look it is trying to accomplish.
An expression of caution: it is clever to put the resources in a case for the Galaxy S8 +. Despite the fact that there is Gorilla Glass 5 both at the front and in the back, it's a fragile phone and I can't imagine that things will end well on the chance off as you drop it on a hard surface. I have been using the authority of the Alcantara case and it is suitably thin, in addition to this improves the opening of the unique sensor mark by insulating the camera.
The show is apparently the most striking piece of the Galaxy S8 +, and the element really separates this gadget from the opposition. In my investigation of the S8 Galaxy, I said that the handset influenced me to feel excited by the phones again – and that is usually down to the show.
There is no variety of edge this year, and it is both the S8 and the S8 + wear these eyes-folded sides. They are not as steep as some time recently, however, and in this capacity are all the more a contour feature than a good element. In case you have been turned off by the edges on the S7 edge, don't let that influence you here.

Xavier gets No. 1 in NCAA Tournament West Region
Arizona State (7-7 road/neutral) provided an excellent litmus test.
Jim Christian wasn't necessarily a hire that "won a press conference" when he was tabbed to succeed Steve Donahue at Boston College, but the move by the Eagles to tab Christian as their head coach is paying major dividends.
That season, the Pac-12 was ranked as the 10th best conference in the country by RPI. The ninth-place team in the Pac-12, a once-trendy Final Four pick, has trended toward the brink of the NCAA Tournament bubble. But Elon (25-7) regrouped and scored the final six points of the game to extend its winning streak to 13 games and gain an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
To be fair, the Big 12 is not the only conference to do this. Nevada won exactly one game against an at-large qualifier, beating Rhode Island at home on November 13.
Here is the complete schedule for the First Four games and the entire Round of 64. "But we are an NCAA Tournament team, if you want to know my opinion".
In the Big 12, Oklahoma remains one of the more interesting teams on the bubble.
ESPN: West Bracket playing in Dallas, FSU is a No. 11 seed taking on No. 6 seed Houston. Coaches do this more than anyone, some to save their jobs, some to promote their teams for higher NCAA seeds, some for boasts, some for a combination of all three.
Second-seeded UMBC (24-10) had lost 23 straight times to the Catamounts over the last 10 years, including twice this season by a combined 45 points.
"I don't know that he can be 100 percent", Self said after learning the Jayhawks' seed, "but there are a lot of guys who sprain an ankle and they're not 100 percent and you still play because there's not a risk of hurting it more".
Below you'll find the tip times, TV channel and commentating team that will be on each of the first round games (all times Eastern). The money passed around between agents, shoe company executives and coaches trying to get their hands on top recruits might be different if high school players could go directly to the National Basketball Association.
Both teams fought through adversity to reach the title game. The Tigers entered the poll at No. 17 after a 17-0 start. Their resume is highlighted with victories against top tier teams such as Kentucky and Arizona, but they lost three of their final five games to conclude the season.
Start: 17-0, ranked No. 1 in January 18 AP poll.
Former Western Dubuque standouts Megan Maahs and Rose Simon-Ressler combined to score seven points for the Panthers (19-12), who play in-state rival Drake (25-7) in today's championship game.
Facing lofty expectations as the preseason No. 3 team, Texas fell well short. Virginia and Villanova are tight for the overall No. 1 – I'd give the edge to the Cavaliers based on more high-quality road victories, five against the top 50 teams – and Kansas, with 20 Quadrant 1 and 2 victories, will be the third top seed.
Start: 15-0, ranked No. 3 in the AP poll on January 6.

Despair v. Hope
"Now when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is with respect to the hope and the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial." – Acts 21:6
Notice the construction of what Paul says. Not "It is for my hope in the resurrection," but rather "It is with respect to the hope and resurrection of the dead" that he was on trial. In other words, the resurrection of the dead is the hope of the dead. This only makes sense. The only hope for the dead is to live again.
A question naturally arises, "Why would anyone be put on trial because they have hope?" The answer is sad, but simple. Those who have no hope, who are hopeless, will never feel at ease with those who have hope. Nor can those who are hopeless leave well enough alone with those who have hope. Hope is a testimony against hopelessness, and those who have settled into their despair seethe against anyone who would stir their smoldering ashes of their hopelessness. Misery loves company. And misery hates hope.
I would like us to focus for just a moment on the degree to which the world has not only fallen into hopelessness and despair, but actually embraces it. This dreadful trend can be seen in any number of cultural elements. Let's look at four.
You may have heard the story of the seasick passenger leaning over the rail of the ocean liner while turning various shades of green. A steward came along and tried to cheer him up by saying, "Don't be discouraged, sir! You know, no one's ever died of seasickness yet!" The nauseated passenger looked up and replied, "Oh, don't say that! It's only the hope of dying that's kept me alive this long!"
To a certain extent, this kind of nihilistic philosophy represents the 20th Century.
"All the labor of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system…the whole temple of man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins. Only within the scaffolding of these truths, only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair can the soul's habitation henceforth be safely built." Bertrand Russell in A Free Man's Worship
"Life has become, in that total perspective which is philosophy, a fitful pollution of human insects on the earth, a planetary eczema that may soon be cured; nothing is certain in it but defeat and death." Somehow, that doesn't come across to me as a "firm foundation." Will Durant
I once had a college student visit me for counseling. He was so deep in despair that he had begun cutting himself. I asked him why he did that, not in an accusing way but because to cut one's own body is so far outside the realm of where I live and how I think that I needed help to understand. I think he knew my question was sincere, and he answered me with equal sincerity: "I've been numb to life for so long. As long as I can still feel pain, at least I know I'm still alive."
In the past, I have shown you visual arts that display a clear movement away from things that are aesthetically pleasing to things which are abstract and chaotic and tumultuous. Indeed, the one piece of modern art that may capture the spirit of a generation is commonly called "The Scream."
And which artist ushered in the 20th Century and is perhaps the most famous artist of the generation? Vincent van Gogh, who committed suicide at age 37.
Did you catch the movie "As Good As It Gets?" Jack Nicholson plays a neurotic, mean-spirited, isolated author, with whom everyone identifies. He sees a psychiatrist, and on one occasion, shows up for what he deems an emergency visit. The shrink refuses to see him. He leaves, but he's clearly upset. He returns to the waiting area, where a room full of people are waiting for their opportunity to sort out their lives, and asks the title line of the movie: "What if this is as good as it gets?"
Parents, do you know the music that your kids are listening to? I wanted to look up on the internet some lyrics that I already knew to make this point, but what I found were lyrics that I had never heard before because they come from a current genre of music that I simply don't listen to. Consider these lyrics, and what they say about Generation Next:
Hopeless (by Breaking Benjamin, from Dear Agony)
Here I lie forever, sorrow still remains
Will the water pull me down and wash it all away?
Come and take me over, welcome to the game
Will the current drag me down and carry me away?
Suddenly the light begins to fade…
HOPELESS! I'm falling down
FILTHY! I can't wake up
I can not hold on, I will not let go
WORTHLESS! It's over now
GUILTY! There's no way out
I can not hold on, I will not let go.
Silent eye goes under, I am not afraid.
I can see the daylight shine and slowly drift away.
Safe to say it's over, sink into the break,
There's nothing left inside, But I am wide awake
I can hear the devil call my name…
Are you aware I'm fake?
Are you aware I'm everything I hate?
Does it make you proud
When I entertain a crowd?
My steady hands are stained
No amount of blood could wash my sins away
I never felt so infected, So disconnected
Lock myself away, I got nothing nice to say
Does it make you feel cold
To know that I would never die for you?
I would never, ever die for you
Young & Hopeless (by Good Charlotte)
'Cause, I'm young and hopeless,
I'm lost and I know this.
I'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say.
I'm troublesome, I've fallen,
I'm angry at my father,
It's me against this world
And I don't care, I don't care.
That's some world view, isn't it?
Well, next we will contrast this spirit of despair with the hope which Paul asserts.

What is Sexual Difference?
Sexual difference is the difference of man to woman and woman to man. It affects a person at every level of his or her existence: genetically, biologically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially. Sexual difference is an
impossible to transform into or restore to a desired or simpler condition]
difference. It is unlike any other difference we experience, because it – and only it – allows for the total personal union between husband and wife that is at the heart of marriage. The difference between men and women is for the sake of their union with each other. It is what makes spousal union possible.
How is the love between a husband and a wife irreducibly unique?
The love between a husband and a wife involves a free, total, and faithful mutual gift of self that not only expresses love, but also opens the spouses to receive the gift of a child. No other human interaction on earth is like this. This is why sexual intimacy is reserved for married love – marriage is the only context wherein sex between a man and a woman can speak the true language of self-gift. On the other hand, sexual behavior between two men or two women can never arrive at the oneness experienced between husband and wife, nor can these acts be life-giving. In fact, it is impossible for two persons of the same sex to make a total gift of self to each other as a husband and a wife do, bodily and personally. For this reason, such sexual behavior is harmful and always wrong, as it is incapable of authentically expressing conjugal love – love which by its nature includes the capacity to give oneself fully to the other and to receive the other precisely as gift in a total communion of mind, body and spirit. Therefore, no relationship between two persons of the same sex can ever be held up as equal or analogous to the relationship between husband and wife.

Feel Alive
"I wanna go on a road trip someday. Alone or with someone I love. I wanna get away. Explore places. Sleep in the car. Stop a lot just to admire the view. Visit museums and try out coffee shops. Listen to my favorite albums while driving. Have a polaroid camera. Take pretty pictures of myself. Run through a forest. Chase fog. Chase the sun. Spend hours on a field making flower crowns. Feel the wind in my hair. Buy souvenirs. Meet people. Take time to observe. I wanna make memories. I wanna feel alive."
– Anonymous
Have you ever felt this way? Like, you just wanna be carefree for a day? I know everybody does! When you're too stressed and tired with all the stuff and doing things routinely, all you want to do is to take a break and be free from your overthinking mind, from any unstable emotions and away from the noise and chaos of this world.
We, as humans, need a break; to breathe in and to breathe out. We deserve to grab some time and take a moment to rejuvenate your body, mind, soul and strength to feel alive once again. Not just to feel alive but to really live your life to the fullest. One preaching of a Pastor shared this phrase that filled my heart with excitement;
If you are still alive, God's dream for you is still alive.
Isn't amazing? Isn't exciting? So GO and FIND those spices and sugars that would add flavors to your adventures! Dream big and dream more! Appreciate the beauty of nature, smile and laugh like there's no tomorrow, eat a lot and forget about your weight and capture every season of your life! Because You Only Live Once.
Loving life,
Rosy 🌹

After the completion of our Envision The Future design challenge, our wonderful partners at MatterHackers took some of the winning designs to Junior Blind of America, where students and teachers alike, had an opportunity to use the tools that were created and to give feedback!
Director of Transition Services for Junior Blind of America, Rob Schulenburg shares, "With a background in education, I can tell you that the teachers and the service providers that are working with the students that are blind or visually impaired, spend a lot of their time doing materials adaptation for the classroom and looking at abstract concepts for a person who can't see. To have a model that is tangible and meaningful in a way that we have never been able to fabricate before, is a very exciting part of what is happening in education today.
And that is why this contest is important, because it is bringing forward new ways to represent these concepts with the new technology that we could not use in the past."
Mara at MatterHackers says, "We got over 165 submissions from young designers under 18 and from adult designers from around the world. We brought the models to Junior Blind of America in Los Angeles. There we were able to get valuable feedback from students and educators on which models they felt to be most useful."
We are excited to see so many designs that have already been created and are hoping that you will continue to upload more to Pinshape so that we can help build a repository of educational tools that can be easily 3D printed in classrooms around the world, to aid those who are visually impaired, blind or are tactile learners.
To continue to submit your designs to the collection:
STEP 1 – Go to Pinshape.com and upload your design
STEP 2 – Make sure add the #envisionthefuture tag to your design upload.
That's all there is to it!
Teachers! Consider incorporating the "Envision The Future" design challenge into your 2017/18 STEM based curriculums and encourage your students to participate on their own this summer while on their break!
Kids! Consider helping fill up the tool box over the summer with your designs!
All you need to do is open up Tinkercad or another design tool and start letting your imaginations take flight!
This global e-NABLE Community is about more than making 3D printed hands and arms…we are excited to help create ways to help inspire the future generation of Change Makers who have the ability to use their ideas and imaginations to make a difference in the lives of others, simply by sharing them with those in need!
Please stay tuned for more design challenges coming your way over the summer and in the fall!! Subscribe to the blog to make sure that you don't miss any of the new and exciting things coming to enablingthefuture.org!

Dish TV Change
So, about 2 years ago when we started to full time, I did a bunch of research regarding satellite TV service. We had had both Dish and Direct over the years, and didn't really see much difference, so neither had an advantage.
We decided to get a Winegard Pathway x2 as we could use 2 receivers, and it was an automatic finding Dish. We did some adapting with some OTA adapters (that Dish's tech's didn't know about) so we could get locals without having to change service addresses each time we moved. Everything worked well until 9 Aug.
When we went to bed on the 8th, we had all of our channels on both receivers (we have the 250 channel package). When we got up the next morning and found some of our favorite channels (TBS, Fox News, Spike TV to name a few) were non existent, on either the channel guide or by going directly to the channel.
I called the tech folks on the 10th (had things going on on the 9th) and requested help. The Tech was helpful, to an extant. He had me reset the main receiver numerous times after sending a signal to it, and I continually told him that everything was fine the 8th, and I was looking at satellite 72.7 for the 2 receivers. After about an hour, he sent me to the outdoors folks. They said as long as I had a signal, it wasn't their issue. I gave up, at least for the weekend, and reattached Monday, after finding about 30 channels were missing. After going thru the same fiasco, I finally decided to wait until we relocated.
We got to Sheridan, Wyoming yesterday and I went thru the normal setup, aligning on 72.7. Guess what, same thing. O.K., something else is up. I reset to a single receiver, and surprise, we have all of our channels.
This morning, I called to kill the second receiver, and when the rep asked why, I explained the issue. She looked thru our account and saw all of it. She contacted a long time Tech and was told that the night of the 8th, a channel lineup was accomplished, and 72.7 didn't have all the channels anymore. She said to fix it, I need a new satellite dish. Yeah, I don't think so. If the company makes changes, but doesn't notify anyone (techs, customers) of the changes, that ain't too spiffy. So, we're going to start researching out going to Direct.
Another fine example of customer service.
I am a long time Dish Subscriber and have traveled all over the country with our two Tailgaters, and I never have seen satellite 72.7? I use a combination of 110, 119 and 129, for my service. The Tailgaters move to the appropriate satellite based on what we select from the program guide. Why can't you use the other satellites that are available?
My question also. Been doing this with Dish for 7 years now and never even knew that channel existed.
I am a DirecTV user but have friends with Dish. Satellites 61.5, 72.7, and 77 are the "Eastern Arc" service. The "Western Arc" uses satellites 110, 119, and 129. The Pathway X2 can access either "arc" with the flip of a dip switch. I would have thought you would be using the Western Arc sats in WY. You might try using the Western Arc sats and see if the problem goes away.
Never the less, the X2 is getting all the channels on 72.7 if there is one receiver and doesn't if there is a second one. The change in channel lineups is a non-issue. This sounds much more like a X2 issue which is caused by the addition of a second receiver. Call Wingard and ask them about this problem.
72.7 is an eastern arch sat, the OP may be to far west for it to see it
72.7 is one of the eastern arc sats. But I too am wondering why you are not using the western arc sats, especially being in that area of the US. The X2 should be able to pick either arc.
The problem is not being a eastern arc satellite as I have accessed 72.7 on the coast of Washington.
The problem is that Dish changed the channels on 72.7, nothing else. Using the Pathway x2, it looks at 72.7 so all channels are visible on both receivers.
My biggest problem is that the word was not sent to the folks that are the techs, nor to the customers.
Interesting blog. I have 1 X2 and 2 ZIP211 receivers. We have always set up with 1 receiver on the setup screen. Download the program guide and later turn on the 2nd receiver. Works for me and we are in the West--Colorado and Utah most of the time. Keep posting.
The channels you are talking about were moved to the 61.5 sat where the majority of the channels reside. They are making room for more channels on the Eastern arc. I thought the Pathway saw all the Eastern arc? This has been discussed on the Satellite forums.

A drastic change to the race course for this weekend's Lake Elsinore Grand Prix has angered some riders and fans.
In recent years, the course wound northward from The Diamond stadium through hilly terrain in town, running across or near city streets. Crowds gathered along the route to cheer riders along. Many stationed RVs in improvised camping areas, such as a spot near Franklin Street and Avenue 6, where dirt bike riders navigated a hilly area before launching into the air on a jump.
This year high water in an inlet channel to Lake Elsinore near the stadium is blocking access to the old route, organizers say. The new course, announced this week, runs in the opposite direction over a largely flat area along the lake that is inaccessible to spectators. It also passes through the Lake Elsinore Motocross Park.
grand prix graphic
"We knew that some people were going to be upset," Lake Elsinore Storm President Dave Oster said. "Either you do it this way, or you cancel the race."
Since 2009, the Grand Prix has been based at the stadium and organized by Storm Events. But the Grand Prix has its roots in the '60s and was immortalized by an early '70s documentary featuring the late actor Steven McQueen. The film, "On Any Sunday," shows McQueen racing through the streets and hills of Lake Elsinore, having entered the race under the alias "Harvey Mushman."
The Grand Prix was discontinued in the mid-70s but revived in the '90s.
Though the days of a Grand Prix that roars down Main Street are long gone, the course recently had hewed closely to a part of the original route. Critics of this year's course said the history of the Grand Prix is what draws people.
David Wilcher, a 33-year-old Lake Elsinore resident, has watched or ridden in the Grand Prix since 2003.
"They've kind of lost touch with the historical significance of the race," he said of the organizers. "There's a lot of disappointed people."
Robert Buck, a 47-year-old Lake Elsinore resident, has been a spectator for years. Camping in a parking lot and seeing only the start and finish takes all the fun out of it, he said.
"It's always been an open community event," he said. "Everybody's upset. It's not going to be through the city at all. That was what made the race the race."
Buck, Wilcher and others said they believe organizers wanted to change the route to force spectators to pay for parking and other fees at the stadium.
"I think it has to do with making money," Wilcher said.
Oster said money was not a factor and the route change is only for this year. The Grand Prix has been a money-losing proposition these past two years, he said, but the Storm believes the race has potential and values its rich history.
Rushing to prepare a new course has required much work, Oster said.
He said detours around the channel were not feasible because of traffic disruptions and other issues. With a rainstorm predicted this weekend, conditions were only going to get worse, he said.
City officials also said the water level made old route impassable for riders and there were no detours the city could approve.
Ryan Jost, a 30-year-old Buena Park man, said he watched the Grand Prix when he lived in Lake Elsinore but this was going to be his first year riding.
"It's pretty frustrating," he said. "The reason I signed up was because of the race heritage. They should have cancelled it."

- 1. I never met the person who signed the letter, we talked on the phone and that was all.2. The person never attended my speech, so there was no point in she giving the feedback that the trainees appreciated the issues etc.3. The letter was handed over to me immediately after my speech. That means the content of the letter was written even before I had delivered the speech.4. This means that this is a standard letter – irrespective of the quality of my content and delivery. Even if it was worst speech of my life, the Institute blindly certifies me!5. Why does the institute think (howsoever renowned it might be) that I need a certificate by someone who never listened to me?

yes yes yes...ReplyDelete
there are so many formal routine things that we are expected to be part of. And raising a question about those things is considered pointless and overcritical.
so many times we are told that these are trivial things and should be ignored. but then if it really is trivial, why do it?! why put your mind and energy into it?
Are there not enough trivial things already being forced upon?! what is the cost of human thought, emotion, patience and time?!
When people get into the groove of such formalities, often lose sensitivity and liveliness of spontaneous appreciation. days just drag on for them, and they think it is life, when they have already killed life.
worst part is, they expect you to be like them. being honest, awake and sensitive is an alien thing!
ohhh. that's bad. a pre-written standard letter!!!ReplyDelete
u r right in raising those questions. it does hurt esp when you've been so passionate about the lecture n the interaction with the officers.
m a trainer n i'd feel offended too. but in this part of town they dont really give such letters. they usually mail u few days later thanking u or a participant gives a vote of thanks n a bouquet after the session
haha! that letter is a good one! something to remember and publicise!ReplyDelete
Anu, it is bit tiring initially, but one gets used to it and stops asking questions to oneself - that is more dangerous!ReplyDelete
Sujathaajee, yes, a mail after a few days is certainly much better than such a pre-written letter!
Satya, that is what I did exactly! Publicized it :-)
Standard automated response. You are lucky, you did not get it before the lecture.ReplyDelete
When we start deriving pleasures from things outside or external for us..rather than from things which are true to us and doing things which mean to us...then...life is nothing but a bunch of events...inter connected with imaginary, insignificant threads...which after being broken, everything will become...meaningless.ReplyDelete
Doing things just for its pure pleasure....and inner happiness...that is life..I think..
Rajeshjee, maybe next time I will get it before the lecture :-)ReplyDelete
Kunaljee, I fully agree with you.
Things to ponder upon. Nicely put and I loved the last few lines.ReplyDelete
" Life is all about bringing in significance to whatever we do, or better leave it. Life is actually an art of making insignificant more significant. "
Thoughtful... :)
As far as the formality is concerned, well we are living along with it and I am afraid, we will continue to do the same. I am not saying that we shouldn't try changing but sometimes, it makes us follow the suit. There are few who seek and can digest the honest reactions - and I must say you seem to be one of them.
Suniljee, your point that formality has its advantages - is thought provoking. Thanks for pointing the other side :-)ReplyDelete
I think that our lives are too precious to waste on others who are not intelligent enough to understand how towork, or may be who don't love their work or whatever reason.ReplyDelete
If I receive such a letter, to be angry with the person who wrote it would mean giving too much importance to him/her and they do not deserve it.
I would rather think about how I felt about my work, how did the interaction with participants go, did they enjoy it, etc.
Our lives are too short to waste even one minute on such persons or things.
Suniljee, I fully agree with you - life is too precious to waste on aspects that we don't like.ReplyDelete
I guess, I just re-lived it to write this post - that is all. Once I write, I forget such moments. That is the award of writing; that is why I actually write :-)
hehe see i was going to say sumthing abt ur post bt den i browsed thru d previous comments n caught d part abt 'once i write i forget such moments'.ReplyDelete
n i cant help thinking- hw quaint!!
i mean wont u cum baq sumday n read wat uve written?
or is it just like a rant n once told, its out of ur system?
i find dat so odd!
n yes woww ur a guest lecturer too? i jus hope dis wasnt d CA insti or sumthin cos dey r certainly capable of dis kind of goof ups.
another thot dat cums to mind is- yaar dis aativas must surely b very old den. minimum 35. :D
i kno dis is inappropriate talk so abt d write up n fr real dis tym, i haaaate xcessiv formality, false flattery n fake smiles.
n d funny thing is, dere stil wil b sum guy who wud hav cum in b4 u to lecture n may hav thot on d lines of- i gave dem my time n dey cudn even acknowledg it wid a cert!
dere r tonnes of ppl like dat! :o
Hi Sadiya, when I have to read your SMS type of language and ensure that I understand its meaning right, I feel much more older than I actually am :-) Along with blog writing do you also guess people's age? Well, you are right - I am distanced from you in and by years!ReplyDelete
Well, I would come back and read this post sometime in future and I would certainly feel foolish! But that is the way I have been feeling all along - that only shows that I am normal - normal by my own standards :-) And yes, there are always other people and other perspectives!! No problem!

|Annotated Checklist and Explanation of Codes
|Red-eyed Vireo, Vireo olivaceus [SR -, c, c, c *** n b]
Red-eyed Vireos are among the most common nesters in the deciduous woods at Cedar Creek. Nationally, Red-eyed Vireo numbers have been on the decline, presumably due to habitat destruction in Latin America. At Cedar Creek, while still common, they do not appear to saturate the suitable habitat, and the resources available could apparently sustain a significantly higher breeding population.
Dan Sudia
|Solitary Vireo, V. solitarius [SR -, c, -, u O]
Solitary Vireos are fairly common migrants at Cedar Creek. There are no summer records, but it would not be inconceivable that an occasional bird could be found in the northern parts of the CCNHA.
|Yellow-throated Vireo, V. flavifrons [SR -, c, c, u ***
n b]
Yellow-throated Vireos are fairly common nesters in the drier, partly open woods at Cedar Creek. Nests were found in 1974, 1986, 1989, and 1990.
|Warbling Vireo, V. gilvus [SR -, u-c, u-c, u ** n b]
At Cedar Creek Warbling Vireos are chiefly found as breeding birds in aspen clumps, and so have a spotty distribution. They are uncommon elsewhere but are dependable in certain of these aspen groves, such as those north of 76 and those north of 26.
|Philadelphia Vireo, V. philadelphicus [M -, u, -, u O]
Philadephia Vireos are a migrant at Cedar Creek, and apparently uncommon, though because of possible confusion with the other vireos or Tennessee Warblers it is difficult to estimate their abundance.

News of the Night: 5/15/99
It's been quiet...too quiet...
Manor Housewife Body found off 183
Patty Valentine, a housewife from Manor, was found dead Tuesday, May 4. Her body was found dismembered and cut into small pieces, packed in suitcases. These were left on an access road to 183. There was very little blood, as the body had apparently been drained before its dismemberment. Her five-year-old daughter and her car, a 1989 Buick Skylark, are still missing.
School District news:
Dr. Freidrich Geisel, the creator of the former Advanced Learning School, has started making guest appearances in a few of Austin's smaller elementary school to discuss the idea of advanced learning through his methods in the public schools beginning next school year. Year round schools, on the other hand, will be getting information and grants to participate in his program within the next few months. School Board members were heard saying things like, "Finally someone has the initiative and methods to better our children's education. If this works well inside Austin's public schools, then [they] will try to take his ideas statewide." The future looks really bright for Austin children.
Police blotter:
Residents to the west of Austin reported a case of what most officers have assumed to be arson Friday night, May 1. A van on a highway access road exploded; no one was injured.
Legal News:
Again, local politics are affecting our drug laws. The new laws permit small amounts of drugs to be carried legally on private property such as clubs and homes. Given the contraversy surrounding other recent drug laws, the passage of this legislation has left political collumnists baffled...no surprise there.
Environment and Commercial:
The "Save our Springs" coalition has found new strength in their fight against industrialization on the county's watersheds--and they'll need it. Commercials publicizing the stalled Stassney extension project peppered the commercials, showing the transit benefits for the growing city of Austin. While public opinion is not currently behind the project, it would appear that a great deal of money is.
The Austin Chronicle, always prowling the city's art community for news and current events, published rave reviews of Madeline LeBeau's production of Prometheus. This new opera is making waves in the theater-going crowds.
Play it Again, Sam: "Blue Monday" played this evening on your favorite radio station. It's played almost every evening, a request by a woman named Dolores for a man named Alex Shelley. One more time for Alex.
Over the last week a record number of couples have been picked up for...miscellaneous violations of public decency laws...on Mount Bonnell. While a popular site for young lovers since before the founding of Austin's predecessor Guadalupe, the dozens of couples on the mountain are out of proportion to anything reported during any previous spring. The return to warm weather Saturday seems to have brought them out in hordes.

Normal service has resumed and a nice donation
Post this page to popular social media
After a very busy Easter weekend things returned to some form of normality this week...
We hope to open a shop within the museum in the next few weeks to sell some museum logo'd items. The chip and pin terminal arrived during the week, and with the POS terminal and donated POS software we are almost ready to open. Kevin M was the guinea pig and made the first credit card transaction of £2.50 via the chip and pin machine. This worked... however we forgot to tell him he could have also tested the refund facility so the Museum now has an unexpected additional donation! The cabinets to show off some of the items have been installed in the reception area so we are just waiting for some merchandise and we should be good to go. We initially intend to sell small items like pens, pads and T-Shirts but hope to expand the number of items as we move forward.
We had two very nice donations during Saturday. Jim and Carol brought in some very early PC posters which will look good around the museum. We also received an original and very early HP desktop calculator with manuals and magnetic cards. This was an HP9100A and Johan has been given the task of cleaning it up, but it looks really nice. We also received a nice looking Olivetti calculator and are also arranging to collect a rare Victor Vicki portable computer.
Tom Wooley from the National Media Museum visited today to see what we had done. He is looking to set-up a museum of computer games and came to get some ideas on how to do it.
More equipment moving and a bit of stripping
Several of the volunteers moved the remaining equipment out of the old hands-on room in preparation for the delivery of the punch card kit to go in the new Debits and Credits Gallery. We also made a start on stripping the carpet from the archive room and Pete H continued preparing for the light fitting which are due next week.
Other activities
Amongst the other activities during the week and weekend; Peter V fitted some additional blinds to the back of the large systems room. Kevin B spent much of Saturday creating programs for the Elliott 803. A number of discussions took place on the electronic office and how it could be re-done to show that aspect of computing better. Pete H continued with the mains wiring in the reception office. The IRIS Air Traffic Control system behaved itself again and started up first time.
Desktop PDP8
Phil H has started work on getting the desktop PDP-8 in the PC gallery working. Having spent a lot of time on reviving the PDP-8 in the workshop this should be a much simpler and quicker task given it's size.
Our first lost child
Just as we were closing on Saturday, one of the visitors said they could not find their 10 year old Boy. We had already started the lock-up processes so all the volunteers started to search in both the open and closed areas of the Museum. After about 10 minutes we had looked everywhere but had not located him. A second round of searching was started but shortly after we were told he had been found. He had wondered off to Hut 8 and was found by one of his Parents. We then locked up and went to the Pub.
New Volunteer
Finally we would like to welcome Rob Beavan to the volunteer team. Rob spent his first full day with us on Saturday and we look forward to his contributions and ideas for the museum.
Support us
The Museum has not received government or Lottery funding, so your help is needed.

the giant swing
Well, the only photos I've taken since last week's post are from the high school winter retreat I went on over the weekend. (Read more about our retreat here if you'd like to.) I thought this image feature was fitting since we were talking about "leading lines" in photo club last month, as well.
The cables on this giant swing, along with the posts and the riders' legs make some great "lines" that lead your eye through this composition. I thought it looked more stunning as a black and white image to crank up that contrast. I like the energy & motion captured in the shot. Hope you enjoy it, too :)

A review of Yatton Dental Practice by Hazel Pimm written on Wednesday 25th of April 2018
Excellent treatment always and I am a very nervous patient, who has had some awful experiences of dentists in the past. Dr. Mason is the best dentist I have ever had, by far. When I first went there he sorted out some problems I had expertly and even my biggest fear which is having teeth out, he handled so,well I even had to ask if he had taken it out! Highly recommend, especially if like me, you are a bit anxious about dental treatment..

Rangers coach Alain Vigneault does it his way
June 4, 2014 § Leave a comment
Alain Vigneault doesn't bristle often, at least not publicly. If a question is one he doesn't care to answer directly, he will do it with a smile or a joke.
For example, when one of the many video replay rulings went against the New York Rangers this season, instead of complaining about it — and possibly facing a reprimand from the NHL office — Vigneault said he has "a friend who says, 'They make it up as they go along.' " The coach emphasized that it was the "friend" who says it.
But during these playoffs, Vigneault was asked a question he didn't like, and he bristled. He was asked how much of a selling point his calm demeanor was when he applied for the Rangers' coaching job last summer — coming in, as he did, to replace John Tortorella.
Their personalities could not be more different. Vigneault's is breezy, Tortorella's sandpapery. Vigneault is ice cream, Tortorella spicy garlic.
"It had nothing to do with following John," Vigneault said, his voice declaring his annoyance. "This was about me being me and bringing what I believe is the right thing for this team. It has nothing to do with what happened before me."
That's been the tactic from Day One, when Vigneault had T-shirts printed that read: "Clean slate. Grab it." He probably said 100 times this season, "I don't know what happened, I wasn't here," when asked about last season or seasons before.
To be clear, though, Vigneault's was the personality the Rangers needed after the fiery coach before him wore out his welcome and they traded places (Tortorella went to Vancouver for one rocky season before being fired again). Still, that personality wouldn't matter a lick if Vigneault couldn't coach, couldn't win.
The last coach who won big-time in New York was Mike Keenan, and he was as prickly as Tortorella, maybe even more so behind the locker room doors and on the practice rink. He won. Then he booked, before the players revolted.
Just as Keenan replaced nice guy Roger Neilson and was followed by nice guy Colin Campbell, Tortorella followed nice guy Tom Renney and was replaced by Vigneault.
That might be too simple a comparison, though. Vigneault isn't just the players' buddy. "AV" can mean business: He pushes buttons, kicks some tails, uses the doghouse, plays mental games — all the stuff good coaches do.
"He certainly lets you know if it's not good enough, and he will give you positive reinforcement when it's going well," defenseman Marc Staal said. "It's a tough thing as a coach to know that sometimes. But with us, he's been great."
"Yeah, he gets worked up," said forward Brad Richards, one of the clean-slate grabbers after a nightmarish 2013 during which his relationship with Tortorella crumbled. "He's a human being, and he's a coach. Coaches have to do things sometimes to get things going. But his worked up is different than other people's worked up.
"I think you've just got to be around it and be behind closed doors, and you'll know when he wants a little more of a practice or a little more preparation or whatever he's doing. He still sets the tone when you see him that day, if things need to be changed or need to be worked on."
Vigneault sent Chris Kreider to the minors to start the season. He scratched two other forwards, Mats Zuccarello and Benoit Pouliot, early in the season. He challenged goalie Henrik Lundqvist, during the worst regular season of his career, by repeatedly playing first-year backup Cam Talbot. He criticized rookie forward J.T. Miller's commitment. He said, during the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Pittsburgh Penguins, that Ryan McDonagh wasn't playing well enough.
So, it certainly hasn't been all rosy. But all of those players — other than Miller, whose chance will come next season — responded in a big way.
Patience pays off
The style of play under Vigneault is starkly different — a game of speed and transition and depth, of having defensemen activated in the offensive zone, and playing a man-to-man system in the defensive zone. Tortorella wanted to play that way at first, saw that he didn't have the skill or the depth, and went a different way. And, to be fair, the depth Tortorella had — the Rangers' fourth line of Dominic Moore centering Brian Boyle and Derek Dorsett would have been his third line — wasn't what it is now.
Most questioned, though, whether the Rangers had the skill to play AV's way.
Turns out they did. Turns out he was the right man with the right plan.
"I personally just like how calm he is," Lundqvist said. "Obviously, he changed a lot the way we play, so it was a big change early on in training camp and the first couple months for us to adjust and for me to adjust. It was a little different game. But he was very patient and calm and understood the process for us to get there. It's going to take awhile to get there.
"But obviously having Tortorella for almost five years and having that coaching style and then AV comes in, they're opposites. As a player, you learn from both, and I enjoy both. But it's refreshing when you see a new coaching style that you haven't had before, and the way he handles pressure situations. That's been impressive to see, I think. The heat you felt early on and not getting the results and now getting in the playoffs, he's pretty consistent with the way he talks to us, good or bad."
It wasn't easy. Vigneault was saddled with a cockamamie schedule that included a needless portion of training camp in Banff, Alberta, a needlessly long western preseason, followed by a quick trip home and then a nine-game, season-opening road trip. The new coach and his clean slate of players learning a new system started 2-6.
But the man's personality, being who he is and nothing more, eventually worked.
True to himself
Vigneault's humility is rooted in an early-career failure. The Quebec native was fired after 3 1/2 seasons as Montreal Canadiens coach.
"I was six years in between NHL jobs," Vigneault said. "Got fired from the Habs, and my next coaching job was in Montreal coaching the junior team. Instead of being in front of 21,000 people, I was in front of 1,000 people coaching my team. But at that time, I had bills to pay, I had a family to make sure I was providing for, and that was the only place I could work. That's where I always felt that working was honorable, and I went to work there. Did a couple more years of junior, and I was fortunate to land a job in the American (Hockey) League. Then from there, I was fortunate enough to get a second chance at coaching in this league."
As coach of the Vancouver Canucks for seven seasons, Vigneault had a .632 winning percentage, won six division titles and back-to-back Presidents' Trophies and reached the Stanley Cup Final in 2011, losing in seven games to Boston after leading the series 3-2.
He won just one of his final 10 playoff games with Vancouver and found the unemployment line shortly before Tortorella did. Not for long.
People wondered if any bum off the street couldn't have coached the Canucks with all that talent, wondered if he could possibly succeed with what the Rangers had instead.
Vigneault answered the second part in the affirmative. He left the leading to the players in the locker room, before and after captain Ryan Callahan's departure. He left it to Richards, Lundqvist, Staal, Dan Girardi, McDonagh, Moore, Boyle and others, and then to Martin St. Louis, who was obtained for Callahan.
Vigneault said what he has learned, what has helped him to be so successful, is simple: "Be yourself and stick with what you believe in," he said. "If at one point you're shown the door, at least you did it your way.
"I was seven years in a Canadian market, and in the other Canadian markets at that time, 20 coaches went through. It's a tough environment to coach. I did it my way, and I've come here to New York in another great hockey market, and I'm doing it my way."
The guy before Vigneault did it his way, too. Just don't ask the coach of the Stanley Cup finalist Rangers about that. He wasn't here.

Libel claims - Statute and Social Media's Effects
- Posted
- AuthorChristopher Buck
Since the enforcement of the Defamation Act 2013, there's been a decrease in defamation cases. The Act is viewed to have raised the bar when an action was made against a publisher for making false statements. On the flip side, social media cases in relation to people posting on social media sites and other forums have shot up by 38% - and that figure doesn't include unreported cases…
Testing the law
Most defamation cases settle before they progress to a contested hearing, so the Act isn't largely effecting the volume of work received by solicitors. That said, there is an increase in cases involving people posting on social media.
Claimants are testing the law and looking to other actions they can take. The misuse of private information, breach of data protection and harassment are on the up, and they're not subject to the strict requirements as now required for libel under the Act.
'Serious harm' test
Previously, to test 'serious harm' the claimant had to prove there was a defamatory tendency in the words used. The Act now means the previous 'threshold of seriousness' is no longer used. Instead, the Act requires proof of the libel. The case of Lachaux determined claimants must prove, factually, that on the balance of probabilities, serious harm to the party's reputation has been caused, or is likely to be caused, as a result of the publishing of the defamatory article.
Only in obvious cases, such as sexual crimes or conspiracy to murder, where they are widely published, can serious harm be inferred.
The test itself has been said to remain an unknown quantity, and will be reviewed in the Court of Appeal this November where it will be determined how the test is applied.
The effect of the Act is that claims, which would previously have succeeded, are now subject to a different test, meaning they wouldn't be successful now. This is potentially part of the reason parties looking to bring actions are considering alternatives to libel.
The limitation date for a defamation claim - from the date of publication - is one year. This, along with the requirement to show serious harm, makes it even more difficult to make a successful claim.
Social media and the Internet
Most social media posts alone won't meet the test required to show serious harm. The reason? Although many people posting on social media don't seek legal advice in respect of what they're writing, it's not deemed to be a sufficient publication.
Although social media does produce new claims and further exposure, there's often an increased problem where the papers feature an article relating to something on social media.
As well as looking to litigate on matters regarding defamatory posts, there are other methods solicitors take in order to deal with unwanted and untrue comments. Requests for removal can be made. Also, efforts can be made with the assistance of private investigators to establish the source of the original article or comment. This can then assist with having the article or comment taken down.
Although most social media posts won't amount to successful libel claims, it's always prudent to take care and consider the consequences of any article or post made online, as well as by any other means. There are instances where the person posting the comment, post or tweet for example, has a large base of recipients, where it may be deemed a sufficient publication.
This situation arose when Katie Hopkins tweeted a defamatory post about Jack Monroe in a supposed case of mistaken identity. Hopkins' tweet was easily viewed by her some 600,000 followers on Twitter. It could also be read by anyone else who went on to her public profile. Hopkins has had proceedings issued against her further to tweeting the untrue remarks about Jack Monroe, as it's likely to be found that in personally attacking an individual in sight of 600,000 followers will amount to a publication. Furthermore, it has been discussed that had Hopkins' had fewer followers, but one of her followers (with a larger following) retweeted her post, then it would be deemed to have been published by the person (i.e. Hopkins' follower) who retweeted the post (and therefore published to all of Hopkins followers too).
Claims under the Data Protection Act 1998
Claims being made under misuse of private information (tort) and the Data Protection Act 1998 ("the DPA") are likely to rise. Claims of this nature don't have to show they are subject to 'serious harm'. Instead, actions are brought in relation to personal information, which has been shared without consent, regardless of whether it's true or not. It was confirmed in the appeal courts of Google Inc v Vidal-Hall that misuse of private information is a tort, and the proof of the loss is unnecessary. As such, more claims under the DPA may continue to come about - and libel claims may continue to decrease.
Whether online or in a published article, it's always advisable to consider the source and the truth behind any comments, posts or articles. It's also always worth considering the likelihood of the success of the claim, or whether the claim itself is worth bringing, as the party making the comment or post may not be financially worth suing.
Our experienced team would be more than happy to assist you if you find yourself in a position of needing some legal advice on this subject. You can also comment below to ask a question.

About Us
Caledon Hills Montessori School was founded in 2000 by Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Rich, both of whom had taught at a Montessori school in Brampton for over ten years. Drawing inspiration from the surrounding countryside, where the moraine hills are the source of water for much of the Greater Toronto Area, the aim of the school was to bring a font of knowledge to the local community as the first Montessori preschool in the area and in doing so, fill a need for young parents and their children. The school has operated out the Caledon East United Church since inception, where Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Rich have created a wonderful space for children aged 2 ½ to 6 years in which to work and learn.

Emphasizing the highest standards in Montessori equipment and materials, the school acts a community hub attracting young families from Erin, Caledon, Caledon East, Bolton, Palgrave and Inglewood. Over three hundred families - representing 470 children - have used the school to date. The school's reputation for independent learning, based on the Maria Montessori credo of "Help me do it by myself", has spread by word of mouth. Figured prominently among the parents whose children have attended the school are local high-school and elementary teachers.

Experiences and impressions stay with us. Some of them come through as distinct visual memories and some are less obvious, but all experiences leave a residue. This residue or feeling that stays with us is called a vāsana.
My mom has been a gardener as long as I remember. In the house I grew up in, there were flowerbeds, 2 feet deep, right along the outside of the house. There was another wider bed that traveled along the edge of the rock wall at the perimeter of the yard. The straight line edges of the flower beds framed the green grass in the middle kind of like those backyards in a David Hockney painting. My mom spent a lot of time planting flowers and other lovely green things in that yard. She watered and pulled weeds and kept all of those plants alive and well for years.
It's funny what we remember. As I'm thinking about my mom and gardening at that house on the cul-de-sac in El Paso, there's a particular moment I recall and think of often. I am probably seven years old, and I followed the sidewalk around the side of the house. I find my mom sitting on the narrow cement path with a pile of weeds by her hip and one of those little 6-pack plastic planters of sweet alyssum in her hands. She doesn't have gloves on and her hands are covered with loamy soil, which is kind of amazing since the whole yard seems to be made up of hard, rocky, lime-rich caliche. Maybe the soil came with the new little plants. As she digs and plants, she says something about how my dad told her that he doesn't really like this particular flower, so she's putting it on the side of the house instead of in the back yard.
I thought that was funny because I didn't know my dad had an opinion on flowers and plants and until that moment, I hadn't ever considered having an opinion on plants, either. I thought it was nice of my mom to change her plan to accommodate my dad's preference, even though she clearly loved the hearty plant with tiny white flowers. Maybe most importantly, I felt grown up because she let me in on this adult conversation and gave me a glimpse of what compromise can look like.
Vāsanas can be positive, negative or neutral, but these impressions of our experiences influence how we are in the world. It's part of what makes up our personality and informs how we respond to things that happen in our lives. Some impressions or vāsanas have been with us so long, that we aren't even aware of how much they are influencing our behavior and our perception. If we aren't conscious of what's going on, it's really difficult to address necessary issues. It's too slippery. We start blaming the more obvious stuff and can miss the deeper need.
I've been attempting to pay attention to the memories that come to me in a quiet moment and reflect on what vāsanas are there. I try to notice what I think about when I'm not trying to think about anything. Sometimes I succeed and can revisit a memory, like seeing my mom planting things in my childhood backyard. The memory moves into the light and I might gain some insight about why that particular memory has stayed with me so vividly. I find that since I've started working with vāsanas and memories in this way, I'm a little surprised by what I find, which is funny because they've been there all along.

Took a day off to be lazy today. Just did all the watering and melon pollinating then did stuff all for the rest of the day. Marie got a bit bored with me not telling her what to do so I got her to bag up some seeds to sell at the markets.
I did go out and up-end a pot of native water ribbons that I had let dry out and die down (Triglochin sp) to see how many tubers they had. I was a bit disappointed as I thought they would have at least a kilo but it was a fair bit under that. They were planted in a 66 litre container. I think this is the way to grow them but I will have to find some that produce better. As they are an un-domesticated plant I think I will be able to do that with some scrounging around in the river and local dams.
The tubers are sweet and nice to eat raw or cooked. It is a native food plant that might have some potential as a domesticated vegetable I think.
We are sort-of on top of the worst of the weeds, with our work, and mostly because of the dry weather stopping them from growing so it mainly the watering that has to be done regularly now. There is no rain forcast for the forseeable future so the seedlings need watering twice a day and the others every couple of days or so. I have been waiting for the new seeds that were put in about ten days ago to germinate but I have a feeling that my helpers might have planted them a bit too deeply. No worries, I will just replant.
I will have to go out tomorrow and take some pics to post before the day gets too hot. I never remember to take my camera out with me.
