If you shopped recently at 63 Barnes & Noble stores in nine states and used a credit or debit card there's a chance that thieves got hold of data about your accounts and your PIN.
"The tampering, which affected fewer than 1 percent of PIN pads in Barnes & Noble stores, was a sophisticated criminal effort to steal credit card information, debit card information, and debit card PIN numbers from customers who swiped their cards through PIN pads when they made purchases. This situation involved only purchases in which a customer swiped a credit or debit card in a store using one of the compromised PIN pads."
The retailer advises customers who used debit cards in the stores to:
-- "Change the PIN numbers on their debit cards."
-- "Review their accounts for unauthorized transactions."
-- "Notify their banks immediately if they discover any unauthorized purchases or withdrawals."
And it advises credit card users to:
-- "Review their statements for any unauthorized transactions."
-- "Notify their card-issuing banks if they discover any unauthorized purchases or cash advances."

Leonard Cohen is known for distinctive, haunting and provocative songs. His music inspired one artist in the Bay Area with amounts to a vision: that there ought to be a community choir of men singing a cappella exclusively from the Leonard Cohen songbook. Lisa Morehouse spent some time with the group. They call themselves the Conspiracy of Beards.
LISA MOREHOUSE, BYLINE: The Beards, as they're known, don't all have beards, but they do stand out.
RACHEL PAZEKA: They're all dressed to the nines in suits, a lot of them, lots of them are in fedoras.
MOREHOUSE: That's Rachel Pazeka. She's at this performance in an upstairs art gallery in San Francisco with her husband Tom.
TOM PAZEKA: I feel like they're going to start running whiskey across border of Canada at any second now. That's how they're dressed. That's how they look.
MOREHOUSE: The Conspiracy of Beards' arrangements set Leonard Cohen songs in unexpected forms. Here's Cohen singing "Suzanne."
MOREHOUSE: And here, the Beards rehearse their version.
CONSPIRACY OF BEARDS: (Singing) Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river...
MOREHOUSE: It's in the style of a Gregorian chant.
BEARDS: (Singing) You can hear the boats go by...
MOREHOUSE: More than 10 years ago, local artist Peter Kadyk envisioned this choir. After he died in 2001, a handful of guys came together for a one-time tribute. Peter Whitehead was there.
PETER WHITEHEAD: It was a little hit and miss. We only had two songs, but there was a lot of screaming and yelling. And people liked something about it, you know, more than the fact that we could actually sing in tune and get the words right.
MOREHOUSE: So, rehearsals began, and new members and gigs came out of the woodwork. Nine years later, the 30 or so members who show up to weekly rehearsal include teachers and carpenters and filmmakers. There are men in their 20s, and in their 70s.
BEARDS: (Singing) Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir...
MOREHOUSE: And the Beards say their staying power comes from this simple opportunity for amateurs to be serious about making music together.
BEARDS: (Singing) ...to be free.
MOREHOUSE: For NPR news, I'm Lisa Morehouse in San Francisco.

If you are thinking about investing in real estate but don't have the cash, you might be wondering how to compete without cash in Stockton but still invest. Fortunately, there are 3 pro secrets that you can use to still do deals! Keep reading to find out what they are…
Real estate investing is a great way to break free of the frustrations of Wall Street investments, get out of the rat race, and start building your financial future.
However, for most people, their ability to invest in real estate is only as good as their access to capital. They think that once they run out of money, they've run out of options. But nothing is further from the truth. Here are 3 secrets that the pros use when they want to compete without cash in Stockton.
Strategy #1. How To Compete Without Cash In Stockton – Seller Financing
Most people think of buying a house out-right from the seller by handing over money to the seller so they can hand over the keys to you. However, this is not the only way to buy. Many investors work out seller financing terms, which work just like a mortgage but without the bank!
The seller hands over the keys and you pay the seller a regular monthly payment until the house is paid off. Sellers love this because they get a regular income… you just have to ask because not all sellers are aware that this is an option.
Strategy #2. How To Compete Without Cash In Stockton – Barter
Here's another unusual strategy that can work – you can barter. Let's say you have a seller who is looking to sell their home and downsize so they can retire. You don't have to just pay them money if you don't have any, maybe there's a different option. For example, if you already own a small apartment building, they might want to move into that and the money you would pay to buy their house would just go toward their rental payment.
Or, maybe you have some money but not enough to cover the purchase of the house – perhaps you can help them move and clean up or fix up their new house. There are many different services that you can barter with sellers, just find out what they want.
Strategy #3. How To Compete Without Cash In Stockton – Partner With Others
The most powerful strategy is to partner with others and use a concept called "Other People's Money" (OPM). It works like this: you find the deal and then you find someone who has money and wants to invest. Then you act as a "middleman" to help them acquire the deal, and you work out the terms so you benefit too. For example, they might own the asset but the two of you split any rental income earned from the property.
Using just these three strategies, many investors have discovered how to compete without cash in Stockton. It's easier and more common than you think!

This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
Visa, MasterCard and some of the biggest banks in the U.S. have agreed to a historic settlement of more than $6 billion in a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of more than 7 million merchants. NPR's Steve Henn has been reviewing this settlement agreement. He joins me now. And, Steve, what's this case about?
STEVE HENN, BYLINE: Well, the case centers around swipe fees. Every time you pull out your credit card or debit card to pay for gas or a cup of coffee, credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard charge the merchant a fee. The industry averages about 2 percent of the transaction. So that's why for years, gas stations and other places have sometimes offered discounts if you paid with cash. But back in 2005, attorneys representing merchants and small businesses that accept cards brought a class action lawsuit, alleging that Visa and MasterCard were colluding to fix these swipe fees.
They accuse the card companies and some big banks, including Bank of America, Citibank and Wells Fargo, of working together to create anti-competitive rules that kept the fees artificially high. The case was set to go to court this September in Brooklyn, but this afternoon, the banks and the card companies decided to settle.
BLOCK: And they settled as we said, for $6 billion. This is big money at stake here.
HENN: It is. It's a ton of money. Americans are addicted to plastic. We use our credit cards to make trillions of dollars in purchases each year. Card companies collectively earn between 40 and $50 billion in swipe fees. This settlement requires the big banks not only to pay $6 billion in damages, but also to reduce their swipe fees going forward. Lawyers for the plaintiffs estimate that will save businesses something like $1.2 billion. The card companies have also agreed to new rules that will make it possible for groups of businesses to band together and negotiate lower fees together. And these rules also might make it easier for consumers to actually see and understand what they're being charged by card companies when they're at the checkout counter.
BLOCK: And other effects for consumers, Steve?
HENN: Well, you know, according to the National Retail Federation, the amount of money credit card companies have been charging on swipe fees has been escalating. Retailers say that most small businesses that accept cards operate on thin margins. So these fees are really passed along directly to us shoppers. And the Retail Federation estimates that the average American household spends close to $400 a year on these fees, and that's up from just over 150 in 2001. So, you know, if this has a long-term effect of pushing swipe fees down, it could save all of us money.
BLOCK: OK. NPR's Steve Henn. Thank you so much.
HENN: My pleasure. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Ankle Fracture
The ankle joint is composed of three bones: the tibia, fibula, and talus which are articulated together. The ends of the fibula and tibia (lower leg bones) form the inner and outer malleolus, which are the bony protrusions of the ankle joint that you can feel and see on either side of the ankle. The joint is protected by a fibrous membrane called a joint capsule, and filled with synovial fluid to enable smooth movement.
Ankle injuries are very common in athletes and in people performing physical work, often resulting in severe pain and impaired mobility. Pain after ankle injuries can either be from a torn ligament and is called ankle sprain or from a broken bone which is called ankle fracture. Ankle fracture is a painful condition where there is a break in one or more bones forming the ankle joint. The ankle joint is stabilized by different ligaments and other soft tissues, which may also be injured during an ankle fracture.
Ankle fractures occur from excessive rolling and twisting of the ankle, usually occurring from an accident or activities such as jumping or falling causing sudden stress to the joint.
With an ankle fracture, there is immediate swelling and pain around the ankle as well as impaired mobility. In some cases, blood may accumulate around the joint, a condition called hemarthrosis. In cases of severe fracture, deformity around the ankle joint is clearly visible where bone may protrude through the skin.
Types of fractures
Ankle fractures are classified according to the location and type of ankle bone involved. The different types of ankle fractures are:
- Lateral Malleolus fracture in which the lateral malleolus, the outer part of the ankle is fractured.
- Medial Malleolus fracture in which the medial malleolus, the inner part of the ankle, is fractured.
- Posterior Malleolus fracture in which the posterior malleolus, the bony hump of the tibia, is fractured.
- Bimalleolar fractures in which both lateral and medial malleolus bones are fractured
- Trimalleolar fractures in which all three lateral, medial, and posterior bones are fractured.
- Syndesmotic injury, also called a high ankle sprain, is usually not a fracture, but can be treated as a fracture.
The diagnosis of the ankle injury starts with a physical examination, followed by X-rays and CT scan of the injured area for a detailed view. Usually it is very difficult to differentiate a broken ankle from other conditions such as a sprain, dislocation, or tendon injury without having an X-ray of the injured ankle. In some cases, pressure is applied on the ankle and then special X-rays are taken. This procedure is called a stress test. This test is employed to check the stability of the fracture to decide if surgery is necessary or not. In complex cases, where detail evaluation of the ligaments is required an MRI scan is recommended.
Immediately following an ankle injury and prior to seeing a doctor, you should apply ice packs and keep the foot elevated to minimize pain and swelling.
The treatment of ankle fracture depends upon the type and the stability of the fractured bone. Treatment starts with non-surgical methods, and in cases where the fracture is unstable and cannot be realigned, surgical methods are employed.
In non-surgical treatment, the ankle bone is realigned and special splints or a plaster cast is placed around the joint, for at least 2-3 weeks.
With surgical treatment, the fractured bone is accessed by making an incision over the ankle area and then specially designed plates are screwed onto the bone, to realign and stabilize the fractured parts. The incision is then sutured closed and the operated ankle is immobilized with a splint or cast.
Post-operative care
After ankle surgery, you will be instructed to avoid putting weight on the ankle by using crutches while walking for at least six weeks.
Physical therapy of the ankle joint will be recommended by the doctor. After 2-3 months of therapy, the patient may be able to perform their normal daily activities.
Risks and complications
Risks and complications that can occur with ankle fractures include improper casting or improper alignment of the bones which can cause deformities and eventually arthritis. In some cases, pressure exerted on the nerves can cause nerve damage, resulting in severe pain.
Rarely, surgery may result in incomplete healing of the fracture, which requires another surgery to repair.

At Spencer Woods we can provide objective assistance with writing a business plan, based on our experience in helping businesses in the York area. Here are six elements of a good business plan...
If you think your business performance can improve and, amidst the meetings, phone calls, e-mails and office crises, you find it difficult to know how to begin, then you will benefit from reviewing your business planning.
Don't confuse business planning with crisis management. The former should prevent the latter. Making time for planning now can reduce the time you spend fighting fires later. Here are six key steps that can lead to an effective plan for your business:
In essence, your mission statement explains why your business exists. When you encounter a problem or a key decision, the answer will be informed by your mission. Think about why you started the business, and imagine where you want it to be in the future. These two elements will provide your mission statement.
With your mission statement in mind, analyse your business's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. List each category in full and be honest. Done correctly, this 'SWOT' analysis will help you to take an objective, critical, unemotional look at your business in its entirety.
Try this exercise: from each SWOT category, choose three to five important items. Then set goals to maximise your strengths, correct your weaknesses, make the most of your opportunities and nullify your threats. For example, you could decide to focus more strongly on a particularly successful product or service (a strength), and abandon a side-project which is costing time and money for little return (a weakness). Remember that you can't do everything yourself. Think about how you will delegate tasks and involve all the staff. Avoid dwelling on the negatives - set yourself realistic strategies for improving the business.
All missions and strategies need money to succeed. A smart budget will help you to regularly review your expenses and make financially beneficial decisions. You may need to take a wide variety of factors into account when setting your budget. This is where we can help you - why not give us a call?
Make sure you write down your finished plan. Include the mission statement, SWOT analysis, goals and plans, budget and forecasts, and make it clear who is responsible for doing what. Share it with your key staff and shareholders, and encourage their input.
This is vital! Make your business plan a living document that you and your staff can frequently update and improve. Consider reviewing it monthly to track your progress and readjust your strategy as necessary. Hold yourself and your staff accountable for meeting the plan's goals, and think about introducing an incentive programme to keep everyone motivated.
Remember, a good business plan is as much about the process as the final document. Creating your plan will open your eyes to the realities of your business. Keeping it updated will help you stay on the right track. For help with developing your plan, call us.
Start-ups and established businesses in the York area looking for help with writing a business plan should contact Spencer Woods for more help and advice.

Trusts are an excellent way to provide for the support and care of children while protecting them. Two important reasons to create a trust are to care for minor children or for a special needs child. In both circumstances, trusts can be an essential part of making plans to provide the best possible care.
How Trusts Work
There are several people and terms that you should know in order to understand how trusts work. Let's examine the different people or terms that will be useful in setting up and operating a trust for children.
Trustee: A trustee will be charged with managing the property under the terms of a trust document. The three choices for trustee are a bank or trust company, a private trustee or a charitable trustee for a trust that benefits charity.
A trustee has a particular name—a fiduciary. This means that the trustee is required under state law to provide appropriate management of the trust. Based on the trust document that you sign as the trust grantor, the trustee will do his or her best to follow your intent.
Property: The trust exists to hold and manage property. While in many states a trust is legally in existence after you sign the trust document, it doesn't actually have any purpose until it receives property. Your trustee refers to this as the "funding" of the trust. The trustee will manage the property according to the terms of your trust document.
Investments: Under state law, your trustee is required to follow the standards of a prudent investor. In most cases, the trustee will invest in a portfolio of stocks and bonds. Approximately 50% to 60% of the typical trust portfolio is invested in a diversified group of stocks, with the balance invested in bonds.
Under the prudent investor rules, the trustee is obligated to diversify. Through diversification the risk of loss will be reduced and the probability that the trust will function as you intend is greater.
Income: Income is defined under the law as either ordinary income or capital gain. The interest from bonds and mortgage notes is ordinary income. Historically, trusts have paid out their ordinary income. However, because many trustees now have more than half of the trust property invested in stocks, trusts now may pay out a portion of recognized capital gain as income.
Capital Gain: Capital gain is the other type of earnings of a trust. While a portion of the capital gain represents principal and will be retained in the trust to benefit the remainder recipient, part of the gain under modern investment strategies is typically allocated to income. The trustee will look at the trust document to determine who will receive the income. Normally, the trustee will pay out on a quarterly basis the ordinary income and part of the recognized capital gains.
Remainder: Under the trust document, the trust will pay income for a period of time, such as a life of a person or a term of years. After all of the income payments have been completed, the trust principal or remainder is usually transferred to the beneficiaries.
For example, a trust was funded with $300,000 and paid income to children Billy, Susie and Linda until they were age 30. At that time, the trust remainder value of $300,000 was divided between the three children. Because each received one-third of the remainder, the inheritance amount for each child was $100,000.
Trusts for Minor Children
Parents correctly understand that a minor child is not ready to receive a substantial inheritance. Therefore, it is very common for parents to create in their will or living trust a plan to set up a trust for minor children.
The trust for minor children frequently permits the trustee broad latitude to pay income and principal to the children or spend it for their healthcare or other needs. Because of this flexibility, the trustee of the trust for minor children is frequently a family member or professional advisor for the family. After all of the children reach a particular age, the trust is then usually distributed in equal shares to the then-living children.
Trust for Children Billy and Mary
Bill and Clara Jones are 36 and 34. They have two children—Billy (age four) and Mary (age one).
After visiting with their attorney, Bill and Clara signed their first will. If one of them should pass away, estate property and guardianship of the children will pass to the survivor. However, if they both pass away, then they have selected Clara's brother, Harold, and his wife as the guardians for the children. They also have selected Bill's sister, Susan, who is a CPA, as the trustee of their family trust for Billy and Mary.
CPA Susan has discretion under the trust instrument to make distributions of income or principal to Billy and Mary or to pay providers for their support or medical care. In order to provide maximum protection for Mary, the entire trust principal is retained until Mary is age 30. By that time, Bill and Clara believe that Mary will have completed her education and be well established in life. Even though Billy will be 33 and Mary will be 30, the trust principal will be divided equally between the two of them at that time.
With a family trust for minor children, the assets of the family are typically not large. Most trusts for minor children are funded primarily by term life insurance on the lives of Bill and Clara. Therefore, it is very common for the trust to continue in existence until the youngest child reaches the desired age. While this means that older children may have to wait longer for their inheritance, that is a secondary goal to making sure that the youngest children are all taken care of until they reach the selected age.
Special Needs Trust
A child with a disability or special need will require both a caregiver and financial resources.
During the lives of the parents, they are often able to provide the required care for a special needs child. However, after they pass away, there may need to be a more structured option that involves a special facility for that child.
To plan for the case when both parents pass away, arrangements for the care facility and financial requirements of a special needs child should be made in advance. A special needs child often has no major assets and therefore is qualified for the Social Security SSI Program or for Medicaid.
However, if the parents were to give the child an inheritance outright or a vested income stream, then those funds will all be expended before the child could receive federal benefits. As a result, the special needs trust was designed to allow parents to provide help for children, even though the child may be receiving federal or state benefits.
The key to the special needs trust is that the trustee has complete discretion over principal and income. He or she may add the income back to the trust corpus, or may make distributions to the child or for the benefit of the child.
Because the special needs trust depends on federal and state laws that regularly change, an attorney who specializes in these trusts is often used to draft the specific provisions. However, there generally are several items the trustee can provide the special needs child and still maintain his or her qualification for federal and state benefits. These include a vehicle, a home, home furnishings, property for self-support, medical care and educational expenses.
The special needs trust also should have an intention to preserve the trust for a remainder beneficiary. Even though the special needs child may receive income and principal that actually does exhaust the trust, the hope that another entity or person would benefit from the remainder is quite helpful.

FSFE objects to claims of 'predatory pricing' in Free Software
In a recent antitrust submission to the European Commission, a Microsoft-led coalition falsely claimed that the distribution of Free Software free of charge hurts competition. FSFE has written a letter to the European Commission's competition authorities to refute this claim, and make it clear that Free Software is critical for an open, competitive IT market.
In its letter, FSFE urges the Commission to consider the facts properly before accepting these allegations at face value. "Free Software is a boon for humankind. The only thing that it is dangerous to is Microsoft's hopelessly outdated, restrictive business model," says Karsten Gerloff, FSFE's president.
The so-called "FairSearch" coalition is essentially asking the European Commission to favour a restrictive business model over a liberal one. This is exactly the opposite of what competition regulators should do in order to achieve a fair and open market.
"Free Software is not about price, it's about liberty, a guarantee of competition and vendor independence. Asking to cripple Free Software in order to allow proprietary vendors to sell their locked-down systems is just absurd" says Carlo Piana, FSFE's General Counsel. "The most substantial threat to competition in the mobile space today are software patents, and we have repeatedly urged antitrust authorities to address this problem," he adds.
FSFE asks the European Commission to dismiss the "FairSearch" coalition's unfounded claims regarding predatory pricing, and not make them part of whatever steps it decides to take in response to the group's filing.

Have a question? We have a mini FAQs below
Should I choose High Poly or Low Poly Models?
High Poly and Low Poly models differ primarily in their polygon count and compatible software/formats, which directly impacts the level of detail and computational requirements.
- High Poly models at Globe Plants contain a large number of polygons, resulting in a higher level of detail. This makes them ideal for high-resolution renders or close-up views where every leaf and branch detail can contribute to the overall realism. However, these models are more computationally intensive and may require more advanced hardware for smooth rendering
- On the other hand, Low Poly models have a reduced polygon count, which makes them less detailed but also less demanding on your system. These models are optimized for efficiency/performance and are ideal for creating larger scenes, backgrounds, real time rendering or when working on hardware with limited processing power. They allow for faster rendering times while still providing a visually pleasing representation of each 3D plant model.
Can I get both High Poly and Low Poly with 1 purchase?
While we understand the appeal of having both high poly and low poly models, we currently do not offer both formats for just one price. The process of creating each type of model is distinct and requires separate workflows.
We encourage you to choose the model type that best suits your project needs and resources. If you need both high poly and low poly models, they would need to be purchased separately. We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist you in making the best choice for your project.
How many formats can I purchase per order? Can I download a different format?
At Globe Plants, we dedicate significant time and effort to optimize each format individually for its intended software, which is why we offer each format separately per order. We steer clear of quick auto-convert tools to ensure the highest quality. For any secondary format of the same model quality - High Poly or Low Poly, we offer a 50% discount. Please contact us for more details.
I use Twinmotion, should I choose FBX or Twinmotion format?
It depends on your needs. In theory, you can self-import FBX or SketchUp files into Twinmotion. However, our Twinmotion files are further optimized in terms of materials, such as roughness, bump, and two-sided materials as well as being much easier to import via User Library.
I'm still confused about which format to choose. Can you provide further guidance?
Absolutely, we wrote a comprehensive format guide for you here with most of your questions answered.

When you are thinking about selling your Riverside house, be sure you know the costs to hold the property. Keeping the property might be costing you more than you think. In our latest post, we take a look at the most common holding costs homeowners face when trying to sell their homes in Riverside.
Holding costs can quickly eat away at the sale price you will eventually receive for the home. As long as your house is on the market, there are a number of costs you will be responsible for. When selling your house to a private buyer who requires financing, the process to sell your Riverside house can take months, resulting in potentially thousands of dollars you will have to spend. However, when you sell your house directly to Winn-Winn Homebuyers, the holding costs can be eliminated on only a matter of days!
Mortgage Payments
The most obvious expense is the monthly mortgage payment. If you own a home you're not happy with or if you are paying a loan on an underperforming rental, the hefty mortgage payment can be a lot to deal with each month. Your mortgage is undoubtedly at least a few hundred dollars a month. This is money you could be spending on a new property instead of the one that's no longer working for you.
Whether or not you are living in the home while it is up for sale, you will need to make sure the utilities are working for any potential buyer who may want to see the home. They will likely check out the light switches and the water pressure… things that can't be done if you have turned off your utilities. Plus, you can't really show a home in the dark! In addition, inspectors will need the utilities on in order to do their job. While your bills might be lowered if you are no longer living in the home, you should still plan on paying a few hundred dollars each month to your bills.
Property Taxes
Depending on where you live, the taxes can add up fast. People living in states like New Jersey or California will see these costs eat away at their profits even faster due to high property taxes which must be paid. You are responsible for the taxes up until the closing date. When working with a traditional buyer, the closing can take months due to the lenders red-tape. When selling directly to Winn-Winn Homebuyers, your financial obligations to the home can end in only a matter of days.
Homeowners Insurance
Homeowners insurance is a necessary evil every homeowner is faced with. Depending on your home and policy, your insurance can help to quickly eat away at your profits. As long as you are listed as the owner, you will be responsible for the insurance costs. You should also keep in mind that insurance will be high for landlords as opposed to owner-occupied properties.
If you decide to list your Riverside house, your home will inevitably need maintenance work while it is listed on the MLS. A good rule of thumb is to set aside 1% of the properties value for routine maintenance and minor repairs each year. This way you aren't blindsided by unexpected costs while trying to sell your home. And remember, the faster you sell your house, the less maintenance you will be responsible for.
In addition to the regular repairs and maintenance you will likely face, there is always a chance a major repair will be needed while you are waiting for a buyer. Maybe the roof starts leaking or the hot water heater blows. Things like this can be costly but should definitely be fixed in order to attract more buyers. You should always have an emergency fund set aside to deal with such expenses so you aren't stuck with a damaged property while trying to sell it. When you sell directly to Winn-Winn Homebuyers, all expenses are covered. Repairs and all, we buy as-is.
HOA Fees
If the property is located in a private community, you'll be stuck with those homeowners association dues until you are no longer listed as the owner of the house. Depending on your community, HOA fees can be high, and some can change rapidly. Don't forget to factor these costs in when it's time to sell. Things like this can often be overlooked when trying to sell the property.
As a homeowner in Riverside who wants to sell, it important you keep all of your holding costs in mind. When they are all added up, the amount can be thousands. This can severly alter how much you are making on the sale. When selling your house in Riverside, don't forget to account for the holding costs. And don't forget to find out how a direct sale of your property will benefit you!

Double-headed eagle
The double-headed eagle is the most recognizable symbol of Orthodoxy today (other than the cross) and was the official state symbol of the late Byzantine Empire, symbolising the unity between the Byzantine Orthodox Church and State, which was governed by the principle of Symphonia or Synallelia, that is, a "symphony" between the civil and the ecclesiastical functions of Christian society.
In addition, the heads of the eagle also represent the dual sovereignity of the Byzantine Emperor, with the left head representing Rome (the West) and the right head representing Constantinople (the East). The claws of the eagle hold a cross and an orb (this combination is on the official flag of the Ecumenical Patriarchate today), or in some similar depictions with a sword and an orb.
Emperor Isaacius Comnenus (11th century AD), the first ruling member of the Comnenus dynasty, was the first Emperor who adopted the two headed eagle as the symbol of the Empire.
Palaiologos family
The yellow with a black crowned double-headed eagle flag, was the symbol of the Paleologues, the last Greek-speaking "Roman" (i.e. Byzantine) dynasty to rule from Constantinople. Emperor Michael VIII Paliologos recaptured Constantinople from the Crusaders in 1261, from a state based in Asia Minor; the double-headed eagle symbolized the dynasty's interests in both Asia and Europe, and was kept despite the fact that virtually all of the Asian possessions were gobbled up by the Ottomans within a generation of the recapture of the City. Michael's descendants stayed on the Byzantine throne until the City and the Empire fell to the Ottomans in 1453.
This flag had in the two centuries of Paleologan rule become identified not just with the dynasty but with the Empire itself and, more generally, with institutions and cultural ideas outside the Byzantine Empire that still remained centered on Constantinople.
Orthodox provenance of the double-headed eagle
The following gallery shows heraldic usages of the double-headed eagle in the history of the Orthodox Church, including:
- its use beginning in the theocratic Byzantine Empire
- its use by Orthodox churches today, and
- modern secular usages by some Orthodox nations.

Emblem of Church of Constantinople and Mount Athos
The modern double-headed eagle flag for the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and of Mount Athos, features the eagle with a cross in the right claw symbolizing spiritual authority, and an orb in the left symbolizing secular authority. Above the eagle, is a crown, and the background colour of the flag is yellow or gold. (see image above). This flag is often used also by the Greek Orthodox Churches in the diaspora under the Patriarchate as their official flag (such as in America, Canada, Australia, etc), and is not to be confused with the double-headed eagle used by the Church of Greece. Having said that, many monasteries and churches in Greece do currently fly this golden/yellow flag, for historical reasons.
Emblem of Russian Empire and Modern Russia
The two major symbolic elements of Russian state and church symbols (the two-headed eagle and St. George slaying the dragon) predate Peter the Great. The double-headed eagle was adopted by Ivan III after his marriage with the Byzantine princess Sophia Paleologo, whose uncle Constantine was the last Byzantine Emperor. After the Fall of Constantinople to the Turks in 1453, Ivan III and his heirs considered Moscow to be the last stronghold of the Christian faith, and in effect, the last Roman Empire (hence the expression "Third Rome" for Moscow and - by extension - for the whole of Imperial Russia).
From 1497, on the double-headed eagle proclaimed a Russian sovereignty equal to that of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The first remained evidence of the double-headed eagle officialised as an emblem of Russia is on the great prince's seal, stamped in 1497 on a Charter of share and allotment of independent princes' possessions. At the same time the image of gilded double-headed eagle on red background appeared on the walls of the Palace of Facets in the Kremlin.
Diffusion from Byzantium to various usages
The two-headed Byzantine Eagle is currently the emblem on the Flags of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and of Mount Athos, as well as those of Serbia, Albania and Montenegro. It has also become the Coat of Arms of modern States including Serbia, Russia, Albania, and most recently Montenegro.
The historic spread of its use occurred because the nations that officially adopted Orthodox Christianity - the religion of the Eastern Roman Empire (ΡΩΜΑΝΙΑ/Romania) - as their state religion, had the right to bear the byzantine eagle on their arms if they wanted to, with the corollary that the bearing of the byzantine eagle in gold was a priviledge that only belonged to the sovereign of Constantinople.[1] (See for example, the image of the Imperial Palaeologan eagle, above).
Therefore, the Serbian eagle is depicted in silver. Russia also had the eagle in silver but they changed it to gold (probably in the 15th century after the marriage of Ivan III, Grand Duke of Moscow with Sophia Palaeologina, the daughter of the last Byzantine Emperor & after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans), to justify their claim as the "third Rome". Austria on the other hand, earned the right to bear the byzantine eagle, after the marriage of the first German Emperor Otto I in 972, with the niece of Byzantine Emperor Ioannis Tzimiskes, Theophano (and of course the Austrian Empire claimed to be the continuation of the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans). They adopted the byzantine eagle, in black though, as the "shadow of the Imperial Eagle".[2].
Use on coats of arms
The two-headed eagle appears on the coat of arms of the following countries[3]:
- Byzantine Empire (historical)
- Albania
- Austria-Hungary (historical)
- German Confederation (historical)
- Russian Empire (historical)
- Russian Federation

Since that time, the double-headed eagle has been a motif widely used in Tlingit art.

Unlike that poetic title of an old-time standard song, Red Sails in the Sunset, red flags are not a pretty sight. They can cause a deal to crater. Sellers have to learn to recognize situations indicating there might be a problem in their attempt to sell their business. Very, very seldom does a white knight in shining armor riding a white horse gallop up, write a large check and take over the business – no questions asked. And, if he did, it probably should raise the red flag – because that only happens in fairy tales. Now, if the check clears – then fairy tales can come true.
Sellers need to step back and examine every element of the transaction to make sure something isn't happening that might sink the deal. For example, if a company appears interested in your business, and you can't get through to the CEO, President, or, even the CFO, there most likely is a problem. Perhaps the interest level is not what you have been led to believe. A seller does not want to waste time on buyers that really aren't buyers. In the example cited, the red flag should certainly be raised.
A red flag should be raised if an individual buyer shows a great deal of interest in the company, but has no experience in acquisitions and has no prior experience in the same industry. Even if this buyer appears very interested, the chances are that as the deal progresses, he or she will be tentative, cautious and will probably have a problem overcoming any of the business's shortcomings. Retaining an intermediary generally eliminates this problem, since every buyer is screened and only those that are really qualified are even introduced to the business.
Both of the above examples are early-stage red flags. Sellers have to be focused so they don't waste their time on buyers that are undesirable. If a buyer appears to be weak, does not have a good reason to need the deal, or is otherwise unqualified, the red flag should be raised because the chances of a successful transaction are diminished. The seller might seriously consider moving on to other prospects.
Red flags do not necessarily mean the end of the deal or that it should be aborted immediately. It simply means that the seller should pay close attention to what is happening. Sellers should keep their antenna up during the entire transaction. Problems can develop right up to closing. Here is an example of a middle-stage red flag: The seller has received a term sheet from a prospective buyer and is then denied access to the buyer's financial statements in order to verify their ability to make the acquisition. As a reminder, a term sheet is a written range of value for the purchase price plus an indication of how the transaction would be structured. It is normally prepared by the would-be purchaser and presented to the seller and is non-binding. A buyer who is not willing to divulge financial information about his or her company, or, himself, in the case of an individual, may have something to hide. Due diligence on the buyer is equally as important as due diligence on the business.
If a proposed deal has entered the final stages, it doesn't mean that there won't be any red flags, or any additional ones, if there have been some along the way. If there have been several red flags, perhaps the transaction shouldn't have gone on any further. It is these latter stages where the red flags become more serious. However, at this point, it makes sense to try to work through them since problems or issues early-on apparently have been resolved.
One red flag at this juncture might be an apparent loss of momentum. This might mean a problem at the buyer's end. Don't let it linger. As mentioned earlier, at this juncture all stops should be pulled out to try to overcome any problems. If a seller, or a buyer, for that matter, suspects a problem, there might very well be one. Ignoring it will not rectify the situation. When a red flag is recognized, it is best that it be confronted head-on. It is only by acting proactively that red flags in the deal can become red sails in the sunset – a harbinger of smooth sailing ahead.

Common Optionsedit
The following configuration options are supported by all input plugins:
- Value type is codec
Default value is
The codec used for input data. Input codecs are a convenient method for decoding your data before it enters the input, without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
- Value type is boolean
Default value is
Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance by default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add a unique ID
to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one.
It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful
when you have two or more plugins of the same type, for example, if you have 2 relp inputs.
Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
input { relp { id => "my_plugin_id" } }
Variable substitution in the id
field only supports environment variables
and does not support the use of values from the secret store.
- Value type is array
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add any number of arbitrary tags to your event.
This can help with processing later.
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
Add a type
field to all events handled by this input.
Types are used mainly for filter activation.
The type is stored as part of the event itself, so you can also use the type to search for it in Kibana.
If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (for example when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) then a new input will not override the existing type. A type set at the shipper stays with that event for its life even when sent to another Logstash server.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America put off a decision Wednesday on whether to lift its ban on gay members and leaders, saying the question will be taken up at the organization's national meeting in May.
"After careful consideration and extensive dialogue within the Scouting family, along with comments from those outside the organization, the volunteer officers of the Boy Scouts of America's National Executive Board concluded that due to the complexity of this issue, the organization needs time for a more deliberate review of its membership policy," Deron Smith, the BSA director of public relations, said in a statement.
Smith said the organization's national executive board will prepare a resolution for the 1,400 voting members of the national council to consider. The annual meeting will take place in May, 2013, in Grapevine, Texas.
Walking to his car after the delay was announced, board member Jack Furst had very little to say.
"It's all good," Furst told The Associated Press before driving away.
The BSA announced last week it was considering allowing troops to decide whether to allow gay membership. That news has placed a spotlight on executive board meetings that began Monday in Irving, Texas, where scouting headquarters is located.
Smith said last week that the board could take a vote Wednesday or decide to discuss the policy, but that the organization would issue a statement either way. Otherwise, the board has remained silent, with reporters barred from the hotel where its meetings are taking place.
At nearby BSA headquarters, a handful of Scouts and leaders delivered petitions Monday in support of letting gay members join. The conservative group Texas Values, meanwhile, had organized a Wednesday morning prayer vigil urging the Scouts to keep their policy the same.
President Barack Obama, an opponent of the policy, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an Eagle Scout who supports it, both have weighed in.
"My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life," said Obama, who as U.S. president is the honorary president of BSA, in a Sunday interview with CBS.
Perry, the author of the book "On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting For," said in a speech Saturday that "to have popular culture impact 100 years of their standards is inappropriate."
The board faces several choices, none of which is likely to quell controversy. Standing pat would go against the public wishes of two high-profile board members — Ernst & Young CEO James Turley and AT&T Inc. CEO Randall Stephenson — who run companies with nondiscrimination policies and have said they would work from within to change the Scouts' policy.
Conservatives have warned of mass defections if Scouting allows gay membership to be determined by troops. Local and regional leaders, as well as the leadership of churches that sponsor troops, would be forced to consider their own policies. And policy opponents who delivered four boxes of signatures to BSA headquarters Monday said they wouldn't be satisfied by only a partial acceptance of gay scouts and leaders.
"We don't want to see Scouting gerrymandered into blue and red districts," said Brad Hankins, campaign director of Scouts for Equality.

Gee, Ya Think?
Saturday, April 4, 2009
So someone at the bakery felt this cake needed an explanation, but not a do-over. I also can't help but notice that that particular "someone" has rather nice handwriting.
Of course I mean nothing by that; I was merely making an observation.
Thanks to Claudia D., who tells me this is her "favorite" birthday cake, even though her name is NOT "Genenick Claudia Shawn".

Shouldn't that sticky note say, "New chimp on duty?"
- April 4, 2009 at 9:26 AM
oh my gosh! that handwriting is worse than my 13-year-old brother's! what a rip-off! heh heh, yes, the person who wrote the explanation DID have rather nice handwriting.....
- April 4, 2009 at 9:30 AM
I'm surprised you didn't comment on the balloons!

More cakes on this site need to come with explanations. They could probably make an entire movie with the backstory behind some of these wrecks....
... not this one though. This one has very little backstory I'm afraid. (Poor Genenick Claudia Shawn) - April 4, 2009 at 9:40 AM
why are these cakes even making it into the box? are managers so lazy and greedy that they have no pride in their work? this is part of a larger problem!!!!!
- April 4, 2009 at 9:44 AM
Aside from reading it as "Happy Biffday" I did like the balloons, even the one with the string running over the top of the other. Kind of a nice whimsical touch.
Is Genenick one person or two, or Siamese twins?

Okay, seriously. Can someone please tell me - if I were to receive a cake like this, could I demand my money back? I just don't understand why people even take cakes like this home with them.
- April 4, 2009 at 9:51 AM
- Unknown said...
The "writing" does not bother me nearly as much as this: since when does gravity give up on balloon strings making them all squiggly?
fondant.com - April 4, 2009 at 9:59 AM
And the new girl is 3 years old. (At least, my 3-year-old can write about this well.)
- April 4, 2009 at 10:01 AM
Next time, they should swap - New Girl gets to write the sticky note, Experienced Decorator gets to write on the cake.
After a few weeks of that, they can let her try it with icing again! - April 4, 2009 at 10:04 AM
- Melinda said...
Did Genenick Claudia Shawn at least get a discount?
Two of my three kids birthdays are this month, and my oldest graduates next month. This blog makes me so scared of ordering from my grocery store bakery. - April 4, 2009 at 10:17 AM
- joyce said...
My husband, Bob thinks four were having birthdays: Gene, Rick, Claudia, and Shawn. I am wondering if it was suppose to be generic--Claudia, shown.
vw: bolavo: like the song, "bo-la-vo, whoa, oh" or maybe a Swedish car? - April 4, 2009 at 10:27 AM
Perhaps the text was copied from a decorating instruction manual in which one of the photo captions is "generic name shown."
- April 4, 2009 at 10:40 AM
Oh how I WISH this blog had been around in the early 90's (just as Al Gore was gearing up this thing we now call "the internet") as I would have had a doozie to share with the many fans here.
Think DQ, sail boat, dad's 40-something birthday and this fine example of kindergarten-esk decoration. You can almost see it now, can't you?
Thanks Jen for bringing back that wonderful memory. =) - April 4, 2009 at 10:47 AM

friends don't let friends decorate while under the influence!
- April 4, 2009 at 10:57 AM
- Robyn Hayes said...
My first thought is that the new decorator was looking at a list. Make birthday cakes for Gene, Nick, Claudia, and Shawn. You know - one for each, like NORMAL people get :) Or maybe she comes from a family where people actually have names like Gene Nick Claudia Shawn? Another good example of pick-it-up-early.

I have nice handwriting on paper, but in icing, I couldn't guarantee it wouldn't come out looking like that.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com) - April 4, 2009 at 11:03 AM
One would think that good handwriting skills would be a requirement for the job. Or at least a couple of days training. Just a thought.
- April 4, 2009 at 11:15 AM
- sendingtheclowns said...
Like, I'm so sure that it's totally acceptable to put that cake out there--AS LONG as they have the disclaimer/excuse there about the lousy writing job.
("Oh, it's OKAY-whatever-I'll just put a little note thingie on, so they'll GET that it was the NEW girl. Rome wasn't built in, you know, a day!")
Now, if *I* were picking that up, I'd put on my own Post-It- note--stuck on my forehead, with an arrow pointing to my face--and it would read: "Old Customer is NOT paying for this mess!" - April 4, 2009 at 11:39 AM
Wow, there are SO many ways to interpret that cake!
- April 4, 2009 at 12:40 PM
My sympathies to that girl because I know what it's like. Luckily I was never that bad since I write neatly anyway.
It looks like she doesn't know how to control the icing, in which case she should have changed the tip to one with a little bit bigger hole. It's hard to control the icing with the tip has a small hole. (Yeah, the tip probably has a name, but I'm only a merchandiser in a bakery department who only writes on cakes for customers who decide to get their cakes last minute in the evening. :P ) - April 4, 2009 at 12:46 PM
- StuffCooksWant said...
Maybe "GeneNickClaudiaShawn" are two conjoined sets of conjoined twins, and the cake virgin got it right!
- April 4, 2009 at 12:58 PM
I laughed out loud. For a long time. This is just too funny.
- April 4, 2009 at 1:00 PM
My name is also Claudia, and my favourite birthday cake was the one that said "Happy Birthday Caludia" in very pretty, swirly writing.
- April 4, 2009 at 1:10 PM
- Kelly said...
That would have been my favorite birthday cake too!
- April 4, 2009 at 1:17 PM
- k8lynr said...
sadly, that handwriting is better than mine. *sad face*
- April 4, 2009 at 1:38 PM
- Rubysky said...
Well...maybe the cake was from Gene, Rick, Claudia, and Shawn.
Maybe.. they actually say "Biffday"
Maybe..the balloons were filled with plain old air and not helium & since they were laying on the cake the strings would be squiggly.
Sorry, I can't think of any excuse for the writing. - April 4, 2009 at 1:57 PM
- Scritzy said...
Is this one of those, "Way to go, Captain Obvious!" moments?
I thought when one began decorating cakes, one practiced writing on waxed paper or cardboard before attempting it on a cake.
Guess that's not true any more. - April 4, 2009 at 2:01 PM
- Red Wolf said...
I have good handwriting, but if I tried to decorate a cake it would probably look something like that. It's not the same as writing on paper. For one thing, your hand can't touch the writing surface to steady the pen!
- April 4, 2009 at 4:02 PM
- Unknown said...
Did no one notice what a nicely shaped [ahem] rump that blue balloon resembles?
wv: reamin - lol couldn't find a family friendly way to connect this to the blue balloon... - April 4, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Lord, please tell us why, if a store has the nerve to call itself a bakery, why do they give cake-decorating duty to any dumb schmuck who happens to fill in an application? SO sad.
- April 4, 2009 at 5:16 PM

At least they spelled Happy Birthday correctly!

No real comment but the word verification "scrat" was too good to pass up on this post.
Scrat, indeed. - April 4, 2009 at 6:12 PM

I have NEVER actually piped icing on a cake, but from the one time I have piped icing AT ALL, I could say I'd probably do better than that.
- April 4, 2009 at 7:42 PM

To ad to my amusement, the add on the left side of the screen included an arrow pointing to the cake. The words on the arrow read "get funky".

that cake is ridiculous - i hope that person got a refund, the explanation is not sufficient.

Yeah...the sticky note on top is my favorite part of the entire wreck. As if that makes the hideousness that it is...ok? Funny!

My first job was washing dishes in a grocery store bakery.
I once had to do a graduation cake for a girl whose order had been lost. Her dad came in the night before her party, after the decorator had left, and we did not have her cake. Completely our fault.
So we offered one of the premades, and he insisted that I add "Congratulations Rachel!" to it. I was not a decorator, and I told him so, but he wanted it anyway. The results were similar to this, even though I do have nice handwriting.
He got a very deep discount on the cake.
Quite often, though, the problem is the customer who demands a specialized cake at super late notice when a decorator is not even on-site (not everyone in a bakery is trained to write on cakes). Discounts are offered when appropriate, but that's not always the case. And hey, at least it's cake. - April 5, 2009 at 12:31 AM
Am I the only one to feel sorry for the new girl? I'm suprised they didn't have her practice on wax paper or something before giving her a cake to do, THEN the displayed the results of what was very possibly her first attempt at piping EVER, with an explanitory note. THEN all the people at cakewrecks made fun of her.
It's okay, sweetie, things'll get better. In the mean time, grab one of your practice cakes and come over to my house. I have ice cream. - April 5, 2009 at 12:50 AM
LOL as a teenager sacking, then checking (and not remotely near the bakery) they used to pull me back there to write on cakes.
I managed to spell them correctly AND it looked as good as the decorator in the mornings. It really isn't that hard to write on a cake, and I never get why they do.
I got a sheet of paper on mine saying "Happy Birthday Elaina" Thursday instead of icing. MAYBE the new girl should try that. - April 5, 2009 at 9:39 AM
- Queen Lindsay said...
hahaha Happy Biffday! Is that really someone's name? Totally odd and so funny!
- April 5, 2009 at 1:08 PM
- Agatha Christie said...
I used to work in a bakery and had no prior experience writing on cakes, but I have nice enough handwriting and took my time, and most cakes I ever wrote on looked very nice. I do think the girl who wrote the post-it is a dummy for not writing on the cake to begin with.
- April 5, 2009 at 1:31 PM

Does that seriously say BIRFDAY?

This brings back terrible memories. I have the hand writing of a deformed tuna, so when I started working for a bakery, I was expected to write on cakes on the spot. It took months before it was acceptable...SO many angry customers...:(
- April 6, 2009 at 11:04 PM
"The handwriting of a deformed tuna"!!
LOL in the credit union waiting room!
I have terrible handwriting, but somehow icing and other scripted artforms come out ok.
Tuna trying to write! ... (Still giggling)
Hey, the haiku is impressive!!

Oh, no ! I wouldn't want that cake even if they tried to give it to me for FREE !
- April 20, 2009 at 11:54 PM
Is it just me or do some of the characters from the cake and the post-it look suspiciously similar in style?
(For example the 'N' in 'ShaWN' and the 'N' in 'New', the 'G' in Genenick' and that in 'Girl' and the 'i' in 'Birthday' and that in 'Girl'.) - April 30, 2009 at 2:29 PM
- Pom said...
My first day working in a bakery I was asked to add a "Happy Birthday, Mom" to an "off the shelf" cake. I begged, cried, and pleaded with them NOT to have me do it because I'd had NO training at all (first day as I said) and even suggested that they buy some icing in the baking aisle. They insisted. I did a miserable job. They thanked me and left with their cake.
1 hour later another employee returned the cake to the bakery from a shelf where the customers left it. I tried to tell them! LOL - May 8, 2009 at 3:17 AM

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
