SSDlife Pro 2.5.82 ~ crack/serial/keygen
SSDlife Pro is a hardware maintenance utility dedicated to diagnose and monitor the health of your solid state drives (SSDs), as a way to ensure that they are functioning properly and prevent data loss due to storage device failure.
The application analyzes all the detected SSD drives, displaying all the gathered information within a forthright interface. Its compatibility range extends from the latest SSDs to older models from various manufacturers.

|Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8 64 bit, Windows 2003, Windows 2008
The GUI comprises technical details concerning the SSD manufacturer, model and firmware version and tells you whether the drive supports TRIM or not. In addition to this, it displays data on the available and the total storage space, along with the total work time (the amount of time from the first boot) and the number of times it was powered on. What's more, it can read the throughput data amount, both read and written for the latest 7 days.
SSDlife Pro Serial uses a special calculation method to estimate the lifetime of the hardware component, based on how actively the SSD was used so far, which is rather important for second-hand buyers.
Unlike SSDlife Free, the Pro edition reads the S.M.A.R.T. attributes for all the connected SSD drives and displays them within a separate window. The structured table includes parameters such as the read error rate, the power cycle count, the erase fail count, the temperature, the number of program fails and so on. Alongside the value assigned to your SSD, the program also displays the worst, the raw and the reference values. You can easily take a snapshot of the table or generate an online report using the dedicated buttons.
Hardware failure can result in data corruption or loss, but SSDlife Pro is a tool that can be used for avoiding such unpleasant situations. It helps you check the status of each drive and make sure that your folders and files are safe exactly where they are.

Mrs. S. M. Dingee, whose death occurred May twenty-third while on her way home from a winter in Florida, came to Wilmette first in the year 1858. After a brief residence elsewhere, she and her family returned to Wilmette, living for a time where the Kindergarten College now stands on Sheridan Road. In August, 1870, they moved into the home at 926 Lake avenue which has been her residence from that day until the date of her death.
Mrs. Dingee was a contemporary of many events which most of us regard as long past history. She was a young lady of eighteen when the Civil War began, and a woman of nearly thirty at the time of the Chicago fire. During her lifetime she saw the coming of most of the inventions and discoveries that make our complex civilization what it is today. She witnessed the transformation of Wilmette from a small settlement of scattered villagers to its present magnificent development. Under her eyes it evolved from pioneer conditions to what it is today.
But Mrs. Dingee did more than merely witness the growth of this community. She aided that development in many helpful ways. First of all, she built the kind of a home without which no worthwhile community can exist. There were four sons and two daughters in that home. She mothered them and also made her home a center of hospitality and neighborly kindness. Even the students from the University at Evanston found this a welcome place in which to visit and sometimes stay. At one time she cared for two children of a student while he and his wife completed their preparation for missionary service. At another time, she took into her home some of the survivors of the Lady Elgin and nursed them during their convalescence. Her heart was big and generous, and her strength was abundant. No needy friend or neighbor, even a worthy stranger, appealed to her help in vain.
Interests outside the home found a ready helper in Mrs. Dingee. She was a charter member of the Methodist Episcopal Church organized in 1874, and of the Woman's Club which started in 1891. Through the long years she worked in the Evanston Hospital Auxiliary and with the Red Cross. During the Civil War, as well as the World War, she worked energetically to make dressings and other things needed by the soldiers in the field. In these and other activities the strength of her service reached far beyond the bounds of her own household.
Naturally one thinks first of the length of Mrs. Dingee's life, for she was eighty-six years old on May 12, 1929. That is a long time to live. Yet, that is not the best that can be said about her life. Hers was a life of more than one dimension. As it had length, so it had depth, breadth, and height. There was in it love and loyalty as well as longevity. The long years simply serve to disclose its inner strength and beauty in larger measure. Written by Horace G. Smith.

色々大変な事もあり、ご心配くださった皆様には感謝です、そして、お世話になった皆様には心より感謝です…!As already many dear friends recognized and sent me messages about that, I have been safely back to Japan from Malaysia.
I was detained by Malaysian immigration during convention, and now finally released. You can see below statement from Organizer ( Geek Summit オタクサミット / WCS Malaysia) to see what happened in detail.
*Official Statements from Organizers*
Fistly I would like to say big thank you to all who made much effort to release us earlier, Japanese/Spanish Embassy, Organizers, WCS members and all dear frineds who worried us….thank you so much for everything.
We did Cosplay Judge for WCS preliminary of Malaysia then, but then immigration came and finally detained. This time not only 3 Japanese Cosplayers, but one WCS Japan Inc permament member (Pol Roca-san from Spain, not cosplayer) has detained as well. So it is not the incident only for cosplayers anymore. (also I am the member of WCS too)
We already know similar incident has happened in this March in Malaysia, so to prevent in advance, we already confirmed all required points to the organizer, and also the organizer told us they took all required process and organizers are too careful about that as well, but still it happened again…..
Now here I wrote that since I do not want to see anyone who have such experience again in future anymore.
Also we were sad since on some news they reported as if we are not innocent (of course we are released as innocent)….and their news photos are from Malaysian immigration taken for their investigation, which should not be used on the medias, but it was used…..
During detention, we should stay too dirty jail sometimes with handcuffs, where crammed over 200 overstayed people and there were too many big mosquitos/cockroaches/mouses….stayed there for days with no-clean small foods/drinks, without bed & human rights. Strongly I do not want to see further cosplayers to have such experiences so I wrote that.
I know so far Malaysia used to be great and safety for international guests too, but just right now it is not. We should wait until the timing it will be better.
Now I quickly wrote that because I truly appreticate to all Organizers, Japanese/Spanish Embassy, WCS Inc. and all dear friends who helped us lots during our detention, and also feel thankful to all the friends who worried us about that, it relieved me lots too….!! My dear friends must know that I never wrote such kind of posts so far on SNSs, but this time I received many messages from dear friends with big worry, so finally I wrote this with some important things. I will take enough rest and again, thank you so much.
Experiences in Malaysia of this time

One of the key features of Pearl Homes & Marina is our use of the sonnenBatterie system to create a net-positive energy home. This means that your home will produce more energy than it consumes. We're excited to introduce this innovative system to Florida, and because it's so new to prospective home buyers in the United States, we thought we'd take a moment to share some of the top benefits you'll realize when your purchase a net-positive energy home.
Your energy bill will likely be $0 every month
One of the wisest investments you'll make in the home buying process is in a net-positive energy system. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, homes in Florida average $123 per month in electricity bills, which is 15 percent higher than the national average of $107 per month. On the low end estimate, that's a savings of $15,000 over 10 years of owning your home, which more than pays for the sonnenBatterie system itself. Plus, if the cost of energy in the area goes up, it won't affect you.
When the grid goes down, you stay up
The State of Florida is no stranger to severe weather, especially during the summer and autumn months. In these instances, it's common for areas to experience power outages. Not Pearl Home, however. Because your home is independent from the grid, your home is unlikely to lose power during severe storms in the area.
You're becoming part of a movement toward responsible, sustainable living — without sacrificing quality
If reducing your carbon footprint is something you take seriously, Pearl Home is the ideal community for you. So often, however, shifts toward responsible living require some degree of sacrifice in living standards. That's not the case with Pearl Home. In designing this community, we sought to create a place where those who want to live a more responsible, sustainable lifestyle could do so while continuing to enjoy the luxury lifestyle to which they've become accustomed. Plus, as long as there is sunshine in Florida, you'll have power in your home.
It's incredibly easy to use and manage your power supply
The sonnen app, which is available for iOS and Android phones, communicates with your sonnenBatterie system to keep you informed about your home's energy production and consumption. From the palm of your hand, you'll have access to your sonnenBatterie's status, including historical data and autonomy from the public grid.
You're becoming an early adopter—a pioneer
Pearl Home is the first of its kind in Florida, and among the first in the United States to take advantage of the sonnenBatterie system. The company's products have been in use and touted for years in Europe, and now it's our turn to take advantage of all they have to offer. Purchasing a home at Pearl Home puts you among the world's most discerning customers. It means you've seen the future of energy and it's net-positive.

Mobile app development strategy should be explored before every app development project begins. Be it direct or indirect ROI for your business, it is crucial to come up with a mobile app development strategy that suits your business KPI before beginning the project. We will be exploring a few strategies and a short step by step guide on how to craft the best approach for your mobile app development.
What is a Mobile App Development Strategy?
Mobile app development strategy is the plan that you should create before starting to develop the app itself. In SleekDigital, a mobile app development strategy is defined by mobile app KPI, mobile app development company, mobile app technology stack, mobile app design strategy, mobile app timeline & milestones.
Why is Mobile App Development Strategy important?
Mobile app development should be approached with a detailed strategy rather than blindly. Although building a mobile app is easy, making it a success will be challenging without a plan in place. It will also speed up the process of the mobile app development project if a plan is already in place. In SleekDigital, we focus on the KPI of the mobile app development rather than just developing the mobile app. Mobile apps can change the world and it should be applied exquisitely.
#1 Mobile App KPI
First and foremost, you have to define what do you the mobile app is for. Is it for a startup? Is it for a company for internal usage? Is it a platform for you to expand your customer base? Next, you have to define what do you plan to achieve with the mobile app. Do you wish to automate a manual task? Do you wish to speed up certain processes? Do you wish to increase customer satisfaction with the mobile app? Or do you wish to increase revenue?
These are questions that should be asked before proceeding with the mobile app development. To put these questions into perspective, we can use a fruit stall as an example. A fruit stall might want to build a mobile app for their customers to order. Therefore, in this scenario, it is to increase customer satisfaction with the mobile app. This also opens up a unique marketing opportunity for the fruit stall owner.
Next, it is good to define the exact goal that you hope to achieve with the mobile app. For example, the fruit stall owner might want to increase revenue by 10% compounded every month. This is a huge increment of sales that can be achieved with the right mobile app development strategy in place.
For coming up with the right mobile app development API strategy, one must do his due diligence. Are you building something that the market reacts really well to? Or are you building something that you assume that the market will react well to? Research and user inputs will help determine if the mobile app is something that users will adapt well to.
#2 Mobile App Development Company
The next part of a successful mobile app development strategy is choosing the right mobile app development company. This is a huge success variable as app development companies will produce different results. You will have to choose the mobile app development company that you suits your needs.
Some companies focus on delivering the best designs, some provide the fastest development, others provide the cheapest prices. At SleekDigital, we aim to develop mobile apps with the highest ROI. By helping to achieve your KPI, we have achieved our goal. SleekDigital wants to be the top app development company by constantly delivering results for our clients.
With a combination of the best UI/UX in our mobile apps, best marketing strategies, best mobile app ideas, we hope to develop a strategy that generates real results. To us, the main point of a mobile app is to make a return on your investment. Thus, SleekDigital will be here to surpass that expectation.
#3 Mobile App Technology Stack
Choosing with mobile app development technology is also a deciding factor in your mobile app. Should you go with a hybrid mobile app or a native mobile app? This should be the question that you ask before you begin your project.
Read more about different mobile app development technologies.
In basic terms, hybrid mobile apps are lean, fast, lower-priced, while native apps are higher-priced but very scalable. For most scenarios, we recommend that you go for hybrid apps as there is a shorter time to mobile app due to shorter mobile app development times. The cost of this mobile app development is also lower.
Native mobile apps are when we want to appeal to a mass market and we cannot risk performance issues. In general cases, for example, in-house mobile app usages, we do not need super high performance, thus hybrid mobile app development will suffice.
#4 Mobile App Design Strategy
Designs of the mobile app are to give users a better feel when they are using the app. Not only will your users be intrigued to explore the mobile app more, but they will be staying in the mobile app for a longer time. They will also be using the app more often if the user interface (UI) of the app is good. In a simple scenario, will you rather use a mobile app with sleek and modern designs or something not so interesting? Users will feel it is a pleasure using mobile apps, it is also statistically proven that users will tend to share the articles to their peers if the mobile app design is great.
Apart from UI, User Experience (UX) is also important. Mobile UX is improving the experience of the users by redesigning some parts of the mobile app. Some key elements in mobile app UX are fonts, font sizes, colours, the positioning of elements. In order to provide an awesome user experience for your users, you can consult a UX expert separately. If you have engaged a mobile app development company that does UX, it will be best for your company.
UX and UI are one of the main indirect factors of gaining a return on your investment in your mobile app development. Although a layman might not be able to see it and the results are difficult to measure, UX is proven to be a key strategy for mobile apps. Therefore, do not take a simple positioning of an app element lightly as it might affect the user's mood while using the app.
#5 Mobile App Marketing Strategy
Having a mobile app will not guarantee success. Having a mobile app marketing strategy in place will help with you garner traction, increasing your sales. However, it is to note that this does not apply to companies that are using this for in-house processes. A mobile app marketing strategy is needed for companies who are selling products or services to customers.
By defining your target audience, you can craft a marketing strategy that is suitable for your target market. For examples, if your mobile app is targeting millennials, then Instagram marketing is the way to go. If you are targeting the older generations, then other forms of marketing like target Facebook ads will be suitable.
If you need help with this, be sure to contact your mobile app development consultants, we will be sure to propose the right strategies for your business and mobile apps.
#6 Mobile App Timeline & Milestones
For this Strategy, it is to choose the right functionalities to releasee in the mobile apps according to your business plan timeline. In mobile app development, the app developers can release mobile apps in milestones. By releasing in milestones, there are many benefits for your mobile app development plan. Firstly, the cash flow for milestone development will be much more comfortable than the lump sum payment for the entire mobile app. In other words, you pay less for the first phase or milestone of the mobile app.
Secondly, with the milestones in place, you can gather feedback from the few app development functionalities in the mobile app. From there, you can improve the future milestones.
Thirdly, you can actually get results from the mobile apps in the initial stages of the mobile apps that can potentially cover the costs of the mobile app development in the future.
More Tips
Apart from getting the right amount of mobile app development research as mentioned in point #1, you can also start building an MVP. This is where you build the simplest form of a mobile app and test the market with. It is like building a skateboard to move forward rather than building a wheel of a car, where you cannot move.
By building an MVP, you can test if the concept of the mobile app is working and get users' feedback. From there, you can learn how to iterate the mobile app idea so that the mobile app users will have a better experience.
The key is to build the rawest form of the mobile app concept that you have in mind. This will help you clear out the noise in the app and focus on what matters for the mobile app. Not only will it be built quicker, but also it can be cheaper and can be tested within a shorter time.
In summary, you need very strong individual strategies of all the ones that we have mentioned above. Without any one of the strategy, your mobile app development might not reach the full potential.

Our mission is to help our clients improve their KPI of their business at the lowest cost and shortest time. Start your journey, contact us for mobile app development today.

Yes, we've now reached the point in the ongoing Apple v. Samsung brouhaha where we're having lawsuits revealed within lawsuits. As spotted by FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller, Apple's recent complaint against Samsung that led to a preliminary injunction blocking sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Europe also contained a brief passage indicating that Apple is suing Motorola over the decidedly tablet-like Xoom as well. What's not clear, however, is whether Apple is also seeking an injunction against Motorola to block sales of the Xoom, but Mueller suggests that is indeed likely (Apple has also reportedly sued and received an injunction against local German tablet manufacturer JAY-tech). Of course, Apple and Motorola are no strangers to legal entanglements, but this is the first time we've seen things spread beyond phones to tablets.
Apple's Samsung complaint reveals it's also suing Motorola over the Xoom originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:31:00 EST.

Among the green shoots sprouting today, we have several lenders reporting things are potentially looking better. Let's glance at two:
Loan Delinquencies Increase For Freddie Mac: Freddie Mac said on Friday its mortgage investment portfolio grew by an annualized 7.3 percent rate in September, while delinquencies on loans it guarantees accelerated.
The portfolio increased to $784.2 billion, for an annualized 3.4 percent decrease year to date...
The portfolio size increased on a year-over-year basis. In September 2008, the portfolio was $736.9 billion.
Delinquencies, which increase stress on the company's capital, jumped to 3.33 percent of its book of business in September from 3.13 percent in August and 1.22 percent in September 2008.
Hmmm. All big lenders are shrinking their portfolio except for the one's outright nationalized. Oh well, there is one thing they nearly all have in common, and that is they are taking credit losses up the wazoo! Most paper over the losses with cute terminology and accounting gimmicks, but we at BoomBustBlog.com know better. After all, if you apply The open source mortgage default model loss rates to these companies' portfolio, the truth is evident.
SunTrust posts 3Q loss but sees some signs improve 22 Oct 2009 - The Associated Press: ATLANTA - SunTrust Banks Inc. on Thursday posted a big third-quarter loss as it set aside more money to cover bad loans, but said the rate at which mortgages were slipping into delinquency slowed for the first time in a year.
I'm going to review this one in another post since I have so much to say about it.

When you and your husband had children, you decided to stay home to take care of them and tend to the house. It wasn't an easy decision to leave your career, but you felt that it was the best option for your family. Now, you and your husband are going through a divorce—and your financial future looks very uncertain.
Women who decide to stay home with their children face a bevy of financial problems in a divorce. You may feel concerned about becoming financially independent, maintaining your lifestyle and caring for your children.
Taking control of your finances
It is important for stay-at-home moms who are going through a divorce to take control of their finances. If your ex-husband is the family's primary breadwinner, this may not be easy. Many stay-at-home moms rely on their partners' income. Some of financial issues in a divorce that you will need to address include:
- Dividing your marital assets.
- Establishing a line of credit or strengthening your existing credit score.
- Creating separate accounts for checking and savings.
- Requesting alimony payments and child support.
Steps to take
There are several steps that you can take to address your post-divorce financial life.
- Examine your current financial standing
Sometimes, the family breadwinner oversees financial matters. Your first step will be to learn as much as you can about your current finances. How much money can you access? Do you have adequate savings? Could your husband be hiding assets? Once you know the answers to these questions, you will have a better idea of how to proceed.
- Accept help
It is not easy to go through a divorce alone. In this difficult time, you may need to seek help elsewhere. Some women avoid hiring outside help to save money, but this is not wise. Divorce is very expensive, and making a mistake can cost you even more money down the road. Many stay-at-home moms choose to consult from financial advisors, family counselors and divorce attorneys in addition to friends, family and loved ones.
- Consider your legal options
The legal process of divorce is long and complicated. The outcome of your divorce will affect your lifestyle for years to come. It will also play a major role in your child custody and child support arrangements. Because the outcome of your divorce is so important, you must consider all your legal options. Taking advantage of your legal options is a way to empower yourself, protect your finances and get the outcome that is best for you.

The single most popular New Year's resolution in our country seems to be, "I'm gonna lose weight!"
I hope no one minds, but I'm going to veer out of my lane for a little bit. I'm no authority on weight loss, obesity, etc. I only have one qualification to discuss it: I've been fat and I've been slim, and for the most part "slim" is better. About the only thing I miss about being heavier than my bone structure was built for is that it the weight added some power when I put it all into a punch.
I'm not going to try to sell you on the Massad Ayoob Exhaustion and Dissipation Weight Loss Program™. Instead, I'm going to refer you to someone who actually knows what she's talking about, and has built an enviable track record helping people with that.
My friend Elizabeth Babcock, LCSW, is a therapist, and she specializes in helping patients with weight loss issues. I've found that most doctors roll their eyes when medically-related advice is offered by someone who doesn't have the letters "MD" after their signature, but I can point you to a ton of medical professionals who have endorsed her book. It's because what she teaches has been proven to work, as countless of her clientele will attest.
The title is "Why We Overeat and How to Stop." Hint: it's a lot more about the brain than about the stomach, and Elizabeth looks at the organic side of it as well as the psychological side, and also the sociological aspects that make dieting so damn hard (and temporary), and overeating so damned seductive.
Order here. While you're at the Amazon site, read the reviews. There is a reason why 97% of the reviewers gave Elizabeth and her book the coveted "max" of five stars. And, yes, it's available on Kindle.

Description of Organization
Three dedicated Credit Union visionaries from Georgia were committed to becoming better acquainted with other African- Americans attending the CUNA Governmental Affairs Conferences. Gene Johnson and Pete Crear were very instrumental in encouraging Sheilah B. Montgomery and Calvin Tucker to create a meet and greet. They decided to invite people to Hogates Seafood Restaurant. Tucker would stand in the hallways inviting other African-Americans to meet for dinner at the informal gathering. The first gathering was a success and the opportunity to network was so valued that a core group committed to consistently including the annual gathering in their personal itineraries for the GAC. From 1993 – 1995, the group began to seriously discuss the feasibility of forming an association to cater to the specific needs of African Americans in the Credit Union Movement and their organizations.
The African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC), was formally organized in 1995 by credit union volunteers and professionals at one such meeting at Hogates Seafood Restaurant in Washington, D.C. Those present at the formal organizing meeting were: Sheila Montgomery, Helen Godfrey Smith, Richard Turnley, Dr. Willie Bryant, Eldridge Etienne, Gene Johnson, Calvin Tucker, Phyllis Moore, Martin Olagbegi, Carol Aranjo, Paul Dumars, Eva F. Edmon, Gary Holmes, Cleveland Lockett, W. Scott Logan, Goldie C. Randle, Roderick Sanders, Brenda Simmons, Dr. Benjamin Stephenson, Byron A. Taylor, Jennifer Taylor, Charles Williams, A. Lee Williams, George Wright and Louisiana Wright. Strong Supporters who were unable to attend: Pete Crear, Leroy Nesbitt, Jr., JoAnn Bailey, and Shirley Jenkins
The Coalition was created to initiate a platform that would increase diversity at all levels of the Credit Union Movement and provide an avenue to exchange ideas and experiences to bring value to the Movement.
AACUC Executive Board of Directors
- Adrian Johnson, Chairman
- Larry Sewell, Vice Chairman
- Ed Presnell, Treasurer
- Lynette Smith, Secretary
- Timothy L. Anderson
- Michael Hale
- Tracey Jackson
- Dorthy Mack
- Maurice Smith
- Bert Hash, Jr. - Director Emeritus
Committee Members
The African American Credit Union Hall of Fame website is a product of the African American Credit Union Coalition's Funding Development Committee.
Chairperson: Adrian Johnson
Co-Chair: Lynette Smith
The Funding Development Committee's purpose is to assess the financial needs of the AACUC on an annual basis and to fulfill those needs by securing adequate funding to carry out and support activities, programs, and services as sanctioned by the Board of Directors.
AACUC is an established credit union organization with a mission to:
- Increase the strength of the global union movement. We are a non-profit organization of African-American and African descent professionals and volunteers in the Credit Union Movement; and
- The website is a way to raise funds for the organization to continue its mission and to identify African Americans instrumental in making changes in our communities.
AACUC Timeline - Accomplishments
- To assist low income producers in South Africa communities to increase their income and wealth through improved access to financial services
- To build long-term, sustainable community based institutions which support this individual economic growth
- And to build South Africa civil society through increased popular democratic participation in credit unions
- CEO Institute I
- Strategic Planning University of Pennsylvania
- The Wharton School
- CEO Institute II
- Organizational Effectiveness
- Cornell University
- Johnson Graduate School of Management
- CEO Institute III
- Strategic Leadership Development
- University of Virginia
- Darden Graduate School of Business Administration
In an effort to continue support to the country of South African, the AACUC Board adopted this partnership four years ago. So far, AACUC has paved the way for twelve students to continue their education.
Both board members and management students will come together and take a series of courses, which prepare them to handle the challenges SACCOs face in today's changing environments. The management students will come in on Monday to begin their course of study, then the board member students will join them later in the week. In some cases they will be learning together in a joint classroom setting.
The scholarship was named after credit union pioneer, Mr. Pete Crear, President/CEO of the World Council on Credit Unions. Pete has served with distinction and has dedicated his professional career to the service of credit unions both in America and abroad since 1965. He was the first African American to serve in various high level positions in the credit union movement.
The program encourages the mentoring pairs to develop a plan of activities that meets the individual credit union needs. Within the general guidelines of the plan, the participants determine the goals of the mentor-mentee partnership and the action steps to meet those goals.
Mentorship Mission: "To offer technical assistance, funding and management expertise to credit unions in need"
- To help credit unions advance by providing a motivated, creative work force.
- To provide African American Credit Union employees with an opportunity to enhance their careers through guidance of experienced professionals.
- To supplement the credit union movement's existing programs with the added perspective of African Americans.
- Mentorship organized an assessment team that went to New Orleans ready to help
- The team met in New Orleans with a group of affected credit unions
- A plan was put together to help each credit union return to the business of serving members

AACUC Timeline - History
- 1st credit union in the United States was located in Manchester, New Hampshire, St. Mary's Bank.
- Groups were poised and ready to employ this cooperative model as a means to bring "access to reasonable financial services" to African-American communities. Some of the earliest and most successful efforts were in the State of North Carolina. North Carolina was the first State south of the Mason-Dixon Line to pass a credit union statute.
- The credit union movement was officially ushered in by the Passage of the Massachusetts Credit Union Law
- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded with a mission intersecting the credit union movement's mission. The NAACP adopted the credit union model as a means for community development.
- There were 136 African-American credit unions in the U.S. of which 86 were in the south. Of the 86 southern credit unions, 33 of those were in North Carolina. The earliest African American Credit Unions which operated under community charters were the Wayne county FCU in Jessup, Georgia and The Light of Tyrrell Credit Union in Tyrrell County, NC.
- There were 36 "education based" African-American credit unions in the U.S.
- The total assets estimated in African American credit unions totaled $500,000.00 and the average loss ratio was estimated to be .075% or 7.5 cents of each $100.00 loaned.
- Records showed 13 African-American church credit unions.
- 27 states and the District of Columbia had credit unions which were chartered, owned and operated by and for African Americans.
- Total loans made by African-American credit unions totaled approximately $3,000,000.00 since their inception. Losses were very low at .07%.
- John "Ernest" Johnson started his extensive career in the credit union movement with the chartering of Delta Valley Community FCU in Tallulah, Louisiana. He did organizing work and technical assistance in 17 states and in South Africa.
- Aston A. "Paddy" Bailey was credited for bringing the credit union concept to the continent of Africa.
- In August 2002, AACUC presented Maudelle Shirek with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
- Littleton P. Mitchell, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen, was named Delaware Outstanding Credit Union volunteer for his tenure as a credit union president and volunteer for 39 years. He led the Delaware state branches of the NAACP as President for over 30 years, and was directly involved in defeating cases of discrimination and segregation affecting thousand of citizens.
- October 2005 - When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the AACUC was one of the early credit union organizations to respond with an assessment team of volunteers to assist the credit unions.
- November 15, 2005 - Rodney E. Hood was appointed by President George W. Bush to a seat on the Board of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
- November 30, 2005 - the NCUA Board elected Mr. Hood to serve as the Vice Chairman of the Board.

Voices: The Power to Vote Is Awesome. Use It.
Voices: The Power to Vote Is Awesome. Use It.
Frustrated. Mad. Those were just two of the ways I felt as I toured the recently opened Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
It was a homecoming of sorts for me. I live in California, but I was born and raised 10 miles from the museum, in Alexandria, Va., in a black neighborhood affectionately referred to as Mudtown.
As I walked the halls of the beautifully curated museum, the exhibits brought back vivid — and painful — memories of my childhood in the early 1960s. Memories that made me angry about how much we sometimes take our hard-won rights for granted.
For decades, Virginia chose a path of massive resistance to civil rights, putting up barrier after barrier to disenfranchise its black residents. One of the state's most effective tools was the poll tax, a shameful policy whose sole purpose was to keep people — African Americans specifically — from having a vote or a voice.
I remember eavesdropping on election-time conversations at church or around the dinner table as my parents and their friends and neighbors talked about the tax. Many said they couldn't afford it and wouldn't vote. Others talked about refusing to pay in a show of protest. A few advocated compliance, citing the importance of voting at any cost. But even those with money in hand were often denied the right to cast a ballot as new requirements were dreamt up to shut them out.
In general, Virginia was a tough place for black people to live back then. Not only was there a state-sanctioned campaign to keep blacks from voting, segregation was firmly entrenched. I was born in a segregated hospital. My mom was so outraged by the shoddy treatment she received that when it came time to deliver my younger siblings, she made the trek across the river to D.C., to Howard University's Freedmen's Hospital, founded in 1862 to aid in the medical treatment of former slaves.
The problem in the 1960s was that African Americans in Virginia didn't have the power or influence to push anything anywhere. When the 24th Amendment was ratified in 1964 to prohibit states from imposing poll taxes, Virginia set out to find a way around the Constitution. For years, it made black voters file special paperwork and go through all kinds of other hoops to prove their residence. Virginia didn't even ratify the 24th Amendment until 1977.
Today, Virginia is very different from the state I grew up in. The poll tax is long gone. Alexandria is a tourist destination and regularly ranks as one of the wealthiest cities in the country. But, as in other states across the country where people feel threatened by changing demographics, there is still plenty of stubbornness in Virginia on issues like voter identification.
That's why I will never take for granted the privilege and the power of the vote. And it's why I left the museum feeling frustrated and angry at any American, but especially folks of color, who are contemplating sitting out this upcoming election.
Consider what's at stake when we go to the polls in November. The leaders we elect will be deciding what happens to your family's health care. They will be making decisions that will affect your wages and working conditions. The amount of affordable housing in your community. The quality of the air you breathe and the water you drink. The ability of your local schools to give every child the education she or he deserves.
And let's be real — the issues of race, community safety and gun violence in our country have got to be addressed. It's time, once and for all, for leaders at all levels to find solutions to ensure that black lives matter; that those in law enforcement who protect and serve us have the support and training they need to do their jobs effectively and stay safe; and that our criminal justice system treats everyone fairly and compassionately.
People, sitting this election out is not an option. Our history — my history — shows that the vote is a powerful thing. And it's the only thing standing between us and the steamroller of oppression. If you're still not convinced, take a tour of the museum. See for yourself the sacrifices that were made so that all Americans would have the right to make their voices heard.
The bottom line: If you haven't registered yet, do it. Get your friends and family to do the same. Time is running out. And then mark your calendar for Tuesday, Nov. 8. The polls are open all day long — and voting won't cost you a thing.

Browsing The Bag
Jordan_Bishop posted a topic in What's In Your Bag?Been playing Callaway Apex CF16's (PW-3i) and haven't tried anything that made me think upgrading was necessary. This past year I took my TaylorMade Rocketballz 3 wood out of the bag and got the Ping G410 5 wood to help spread my numbers out a little bit better. Love the way the Ping sets up on the ground as well as the feel off the club face. I'm still playing the Ben Hogan TK15 wedges (50/58) but will be in the market soon to replace and will likely be going with the old faithful Vokey or the TaylorMade Milled Grind 2. I've been playing Ping Drivers for as long as I can remember and am still carrying 250 with my Ping G400 with the HZRDUS Smoke shaft and will likely ride it to the retired bag grave with how much I like the feel. On the greens I roll with the Odyssey Protype Tour Series #2. Switched to the Ody after years of a hand-me-down Ping Anser that once the greens started speeding up, I lost all touch with. Currently caught between the Snell MTB-X and the Bridgestone Tour B RX.
TESTERS ANNOUNCED: PING G400 Drivers
GolfSpy Barbajo posted a topic in TESTERS WANTED(4) TESTERS WANTED PING G400 Driver Lineup 10,071 shots over 245 hours. That's how many and how long it took for MyGolfSpy to crown the PING G400 LST the Most Wanted Driver of 2018. And not for nuthin', PING's G400, G400 Max and G400 SFT were also top performing bombers. There were an awful lot of outstanding performers in this year's Most Wanted testing, which tells us one thing – while there may not be one driver out there that's best for everyone, there is one driver out there that's best for you. And with four drivers finishing in the top half of our testing, there's a decent chance a PING driver may, in fact, work for you. But let's put that premise to the test, shall we? TESTERS WANTED! Back in school, whether it was math or science class, they always wanted you to check your work. Well, that's what we want you guys to help us out with. We're looking for four of you to test and review (and keep) a PING G400 driver – whichever one you feel best fits your game. It could be the low-spinning, Most Wanted champ G400 LST, or it could be the ultra-forgiving and Tour-proven G400 Max, or the standard G400 or the G400 SFT – it's your call.

When the Jets start their sales pitch to Kirk Cousins, he's going to want to know about more than just the size of their check. He's going to want to know, among other things, how they plan to protect him.
That's a project they can get started on right now.
The Jets should begin by re-signing center Wesley Johnson before the free-agent market opens on March 14, and solidify what was a young and better-than-you-think offensive line last season. Together with right guard Brian Winters and right tackle Brandon Shell, it would give the Jets a strong young corps on the line to build around. And with two solid veterans on the left side -- tackle Kelvin Beachum and guard James Carpenter -- it's a line that could actually be pretty good.
No, last season wasn't great for the Jets' line. They gave up 47 sacks, tied for seventh in the league, and their rushing attack ranked only 19th, gaining 106.4 yards per game. Across the board, their Pro Football Focus Grades -- that fans love to quote, no matter how flawed they are -- weren't very good.
But don't look at the numbers (especially the PFF grades), because offensive line play is about much more than that. Keep in mind that several Jets players complained (correctly) about how former offensive coordinator John Morton skewed all the offensive numbers by abandoning the run game too early and becoming far too pass-happy -- a big reason why Morton lost his job. And the sack numbers were hurt by coverage sacks -- when the Jets' middling receiving corps couldn't get open, forcing Josh McCown (and later Bryce Petty) to hold the ball.
That's not to say it was a good season for the line, but it was better than the numbers indicate. The truth is there's a lot of potential there. And as offensive linemen constantly say, continuity is incredibly important at that position. So in this case, stability is good. There's no reason to blow everything up.
And they don't have to, since the 27-year-old Johnson is the only one of the starting five headed towards free agency, after playing last season on a $2.7 million restricted free agent tender. But letting a young, versatile center hit the market would be a mistake. When the Jets gave him that RFA deal, they were hopeful he was the heir apparent to the great Kevin Mawae-Nick Mangold line of centers they had enjoyed.
Why would they give up on that idea now?
It's not clear exactly what the Jets' plans are at center since according to multiple sources the two sides haven't had any substantive discussions on a new contract. Johnson's agent, Brian Parker, was unavailable for comment, but it's a good bet he'll be meeting with Jets' officials at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis next week.
And that's good, since at a position that was devastated by injuries last season, the 6-foot-5, 305-pound Johnson has proven to be durable. And the center market in free agency is largely considered to be weak. Weston Richburg of the Giants is largely considered to be one of the best on the market, and he wasn't playing well at all last season before he missed 12 games with a concussion. Baltimore's Ryan Jensen could be an option, but he could be an expensive one given the thin field.
It makes no sense to overspend on someone else's player when the Jets can pay someone they've already worked to develop. It won't be cheap, necessarily. Parker had the highest-paid center in free agency twice in the last six years (Scott Wells, who got a four-year, $25.5 million deal from the Rams in 2012, and Evan Smith, who got four years, $14.25 million from the Bucs in 2014) so he has a handle on the market for that position. But it doesn't have to be crazy money either. The 49ers just re-signed their young center, Daniel Kilgore, for three years and $12 million with $7 million guaranteed.
Johnson, at $4 million per year, would be a bargain and easily affordable for the Jets. And it would save them on having to overbid on the open market, using resources they'd be better off spending on an edge rusher or a top receiver. If they want reinforcements on the line, they're better off looking to the draft to develop long-term replacements for Beachum and Carpenter.
For now, though, the Jets have five solid linemen under 30. Give them a chance to grow together, and keep Johnson in the middle of it all. The worst thing the Jets could do is break it up and make Cousins think they're going to just patch things together in front of him. A quarterback wants to know he's protected. The last thing he needs is uncertainty up front.

As one of the cheapest forms of protein, eggs are an excellent choice when it comes to a healthy diet. One egg alone is packed with 6-gram of protein and 14 other key nutrients.
Furthermore, they are also easy to be cooked and can fit into many recipes. Boiled, half-cooked, fried, steamed, scrambled or baked, eggs are definitely a versatile ingredient to turn any recipes into a flavourful and hearty meal.
What is in an egg?
An egg contains 11 different vitamins and nutrients like vitamin A, D, E, B12, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, choline, and antioxidants.
Eggs and cholesterol
Many people might avoid taking eggs regularly as they are assumed to have a high level of cholesterol. However, studies proved that healthy adults can enjoy taking eggs without having to worry getting risks for a heart disease.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), eggs are lower in cholesterol than previously recorded. The cholesterol in eggs has almost no effect on our blood cholesterol levels. In fact, eating hard-boiled eggs may even help boost levels of good cholesterol.
So, what is the benefit of eating at least two eggs every day?
- Weight loss
Studies have proved that protein-rich breakfast can actually induce weight loss in the long run. According to study in 2008, eating a low-calorie diet with a regular intake of eggs for breakfast can help enhance weight loss in overweight or obese adults.
Also, eggs can help you feel full longer compared to other foods, meaning that they make for a good alternative for people who want to lose a few inches off their waistline.
2. A boost to the immune system
Studies have also shown that eating just two eggs a day can help boost one's immune system and protect him or her from certain infections, viruses and general illness like flu and fever as they contain 22% of the recommended daily intake of selenium which is the mineral that is necessary for physiological systems.
3. Better memory
Eggs contain choline, an essential nutrient for brain and metabolism. Choline is also associated with nerve signals that help us to make and retain memory, thus, helping you to remember the little things that many people always forget about like where you left your keys or wallet.
4. Superfood for eyes
Like spinach and other leafy greens, eggs are also a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin, nutrients that are crucial to maintain sharp and clear vision.
Luten protects the retina from being damaged.
5. Combating depression
Very few foods actually contain vitamin D but eggs are one of them! Vitamin D is generally helpful to combat depression along as well as good for calcium absorption and regulation.
6. Strengthening the bones
As they are high in vitamin D and calcium, eggs play a number of critical roles for bone growth and repair, helping you to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
7. Good for the blood
Eggs contain a high level of folate, a type of vitamin B that is necessary for the formation of new red blood cells.
Folate is also crucial for the development of foetus in womb.
8. Anti-aging
Eggs also contain amino acids that help to regenerate new cells and improve the signs of aging and wrinkles.
9. Reduced risk of heart disease
Researches from Canada have found a significant link between egg-dense foods and a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. This is because eggs contain two important anti-oxidants: tryptophan and tyrosine.
This is a good news for people who have LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) levels who are at greater risk of developing heart problems.
10. Building muscle
Many gym-goers prefer eating a diet that is rich in eggs and this is not a surprise as eggs are packed with high levels of protein.
11. Great hair, skin and nails
Eggs also contain vitamin B and omega-3 fatty acids that are essential if you want healthy hair, skin and nails.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) describes a backflow of acid from the stomach into the swallowing tube or esophagus. When you swallow, the lower esophageal sphincter (a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of your esophagus) relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into your stomach. It then closes again. However, if this valve relaxes abnormally or weakens, stomach acid can flow back up into your esophagus, causing frequent heartburn and disrupting your daily life. This acid can irritate and sometimes damage the delicate lining on the inside of the esophagus. Almost everyone experiences gastroesophageal reflux at some time. The usual symptom is heartburn, an uncomfortable burning sensation behind the breastbone, most commonly occurring after a meal. In some individuals this reflux is frequent or severe enough to cause more significant problems, that is a disease. Thus, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a clinical condition that occurs when reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus is severe enough to impact the patient's life and/or damage the esophagus.
GERD Symptoms
Classic symptoms of GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, include:
- Repeated bouts of heartburn (a burning feeling in the chest) and acid regurgitation
- Bitter or sour-tasting fluids (acid reflux)in the back of the mouth or throat
- Belching
- Pain in the upper abdomen
- Worsening of the above symptoms when bending over or lying down
- Chest pain
- Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
- A dry cough, hoarseness or a sore throat
Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Acid Reflux and GERD
We will work with you to determine the best treatment option to relieve your symptoms. These may include lifestyle changes, medication, and possible surgery.
Some of the following lifestyle or medication changes may alleviate your symptoms of GERD:
- Avoid smoking, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, peppermint, citrus, colas and fatty foods
- Raise the head of your bed
- Avoid eating food close to bedtime (eat meals at least 3-4 hours prior to lying down, avoid bedtime snacks)
- Eat moderate portions of food and smaller meals
- Eat meals more slowly
- Lose excess weight
- Some over-the-counter antacids may offer relief
If the above-mentioned lifestyle or medication changes do not offer relief, you will need to undergo additional testing. Surgery may be an option when treatment with medications does not completely relieve symptoms. It is also a good option for patients whose symptoms are well controlled but who don't want to take medication, and for patients with complications of reflux disease, such as ulcers, strictures or Barrett's esophagus. Anti-reflux operations (Laparoscopic or Open Nissen Fundoplication) may help patients who have persistent symptoms despite medical treatment.
Laparoscopic Anti-Reflux Surgery (Nissen Fundoplication)
Surgery is an alternative that is generally applied when long-term medical management is either ineffective or undesirable, or when certain complications of GERD are present. This surgery is commonly referred to as Laparoscopic Fundoplication surgery.
Laparoscopic Fundoplication surgery will improve the natural barrier between your stomach and esophagus. This prevents the flow of acids from the stomach into the esophagus and strengthens the valve between the esophagus and stomach. This will stop acid from backing up into the esophagus as easily. It can also be performed as an open surgery if necessary.
Anti-reflux surgery can breakdown, similar to hernia repairs in other parts of the body. The recurrence rate is not well defined but may be in the range of 10-30% over 20 years. A number of factors can contribute to this breakdown. In some individuals, even after surgery, reflux symptoms may persist and the use of medication may need to continue.
Getting back to normal
The laparoscopic surgery usually requires one overnight hospital stay. You should be able to return to normal activities between one and two weeks, compared with four to six weeks for traditional surgery. Make sure to take it easy upon your return home, avoiding heavy lifting and vigorous exercise. You may advance your diet as able. You should continue all of your usual home medications. Your anti-reflux medicine should be continued until your initial follow-up. This may be discontinued during the postoperative visit.

Oriana Project Kenya
We are designing a boarding school for disabled, vulnerable and orphaned children on a ten-acre plot near Nanyuki with views of Mount Kenya.
The Nanyuki Preparatory School is an existing school in central Kenya looking to expand and secure its future while providing expanded boarding facilities. Working with a registered charity headed by Peter and Emmeline Carr, Allies and Morrison and Arup have jointly designed a new home for the school. The new campus has been designed on a pro-bono basis.
The children for the school come from many different backgrounds, including orphans who have lost their parents to disease to those who are physically disabled because their wheelchair simply cannot fit through existing doors. Our architecture responds to these conditions by creating an accessible place that is a nurturing and inviting environment.
