In the last of our three-part series on cyber-security, we're going to talk about how you can create a culture of security to prepare your employees to avoid the single biggest threat: human error.
Cyber-Security for Small Business Owners (Part 2)
Last week, we outlined some of the reasons cyber-security matters for small business. This week, we're going to provide you with some basic tools to help secure your Web site.
Cyber-Security for Small Business Owners (Part 1)
Recently, I attended a Cyber-Security Summit organized by the Arizona Technology Council. After attending many of these events in the past few years and through conversations at the many events I've attended, it's clear this is still an important topic of education for small businesses. I'll try to cover, not just the reasons for concern (hopefully without scaring anyone into giving up their smart phone entirely), but also some tips on how to prepare your small business for the ever-changing cyber-security threats.
Scope Creep: The Silent Killer
When it comes to product development, whether it's digital or not, there's an on-going conversation between the person behind the actual production and the person guiding the process. This is important because it helps to clarify the vision, validate the work as part of the creation process, and ensure everything stays on track. Unfortunately, it's inevitable that somewhere along the line, a request will be made that impacts the original scope. This is called "scope creep" and it needs to be managed carefully.
Security Should Never Be Ruled Out
We recently started to map out a proposal for a new project. This particular project meant working around an existing relationship with a staff developer who maintains a version of the app for another platform. As we moved through the process of crafting a proposal to meet their needs, a number of questions came up, including the question about security.
Transitioning to a New Web Team
Most small businesses rely on an outsourced Web designer to manage their Web site. With the economy improving, not all of those resources are sticking around. They are instead heading back to work for other companies themselves and they all handle the transition differently. Some are great - providing their client with well-documented processes and information about their site. Many simply fade away. If you're outsourcing your Web design and development to a freelancer or independent firm, here's a few tips on making sure you're ready if you're forced into a transition.
Failure is Part of Every Great Plan
Failure to plan is planning to fail.
We've all heard the old adage, but with software, failure should be part of any plan. This isn't because we want or even know that failure will occur. We certainly don't want the application to fail, but disaster happens. It could be a fire at the data center where the application is housed, infiltration by a malicious hacker, or any number of things that cause an application to fail. What's important, though, is that you have a plan in place to get back up.
Making Sure Everyone Gets a Timeout
Over that past few years supporting applications, I've received multiple requests to not timeout (either at all or less frequently). From a user's perspective, it's frustrating. You get up for a cup of coffee between work and get distracted by a quick conversation or the ding of email. You come back to the application, click, and you're required to log in again. There's a number of standards for the length of login timeouts, but everyone has their own opinion and each industry has different specific requirements.
Crafting a Platform with Built-In Security
Building a platform with security built-in from the beginning isn't a common occurrence. Many freelance developers or small development teams consider security late, if at all, which results in what we call "bolted-on" security (versus "built-in" security). Bolted on security, while still security, tends to poke a lot of holes in an application. Here are three things to discuss with your Web team about before you start the next project or enhancement.
3 Reasons We Challenge Clients On Web Site Security
Recently, a class-action lawsuit was filed against 21st Century Oncology. In it, the medical provider is accused of storing patient data in Joomla. Since we primarily use Joomla as a content management system, this story was interesting, particularly when you look at the lawsuit attorney's comments.
What Can You Do to Protect Your Company?
This week, it's time for information about digital security and what you can do about it. When I previously discussed security, I mentioned that the tone when people talk about digital security, privacy, and recently hacked companies is dire, but I want to focus on what you can do about it. Recently, Entrepreneur published two great articles on the topic, one broadly covering the topic and the other specifically addressing the issue of employee theft.
3 Easy Ways to Help Secure Your Web Site
There's been a lot happening in the news recently about stolen passwords, breaking into sites, and other illicit activity. It's important to understand that it's not if you get targeted, it's when. Unfortunately, this is the simple truth of living and doing business in the Internet age. While you may not be able to stop every attempt, it is possible to protect your Web site with some simple steps and easy to install software.

Well, the strong favourite won this award this year: Berkeley Group – the only volume housebuilder to come through the recession almost unscathed …
The Berkeley group
In the toughest year for decades for housebuilders, Berkeley Group stood out as the only volume housebuilder that did not have to get bailed out by lenders. The full story is even more impressive: it is the only UK housebuilder with zero debt, it turned over £702m in the year to April 2009 and posted a pre-tax profit of £120m. Such is Berkeley's reputation for sound financial management and grasping the prevailing economic conditions, that in the depths of the downturn all eyes turned to chairman Tony Pidgley to detect the first signs of the bottom of the market. So, for Berkeley, 2009 was a year of business as usual. And business as usual for Berkeley means a variety of things: developing exciting modern architecture, such as the glass-fronted apartments at Imperial Wharf near Chelsea; carrying out complex conversions, such as the 19th-century, grade II-listed Sugar House on the eastern edge of the City; and undertaking a prominent role in some of the most important urban regeneration schemes in the UK, such as the £1bn Kidbrooke redevelopment in south-east London. Needless to say, the company is also well placed for when the upturn eventually comes – its landbank of more than 30,000 plots equates to more than £2bn in future gross margin. No wonder, as the judges noted, "if you visited their sites you wouldn't even notice there was a recession".
Barratt Developments
Despite enduring all that the downturn could throw at it, Barratt managed to come through 2009 with its reputation enhanced. Its sustainability credentials are being demonstrated at Hanham Hall near Bristol, where it is building the UK's first large-scale development to level six of the Code for Sustainable Homes; it was responsible for 30% of completions in the government's HomeBuy Direct initiative up to October last year; and it has more than maintained its standards of customer service, as shown in its 4* rating from the HBF. It is also looking well placed for the recovery, with building under way on 400 developments across the UK.
Bellway's financial management during the recession must be the envy of the Treasury. It started 2009 with £218m of debt but managed to reduce this by £181m, while bringing in £368m of forward orders. Last autumn, it increased its weekly sales by 51% on the same period the previous year, and spent £64m on land acquisitions, giving every impression of a company preparing for a sustained period of rude health. Considering that its financial strategy has resulted in it becoming the only UK housebuilder currently paying a dividend to its shareholders, it would be hard to argue with that prognosis.
Crest Nicholson
Crest Nicholson has always placed design at the heart of the housebuilding process, as shown by the fact that it has more Cabe gold standards than any other developer, so in that sense 2009 was just more of the same. One Brighton, its standout development of the past year, has created a fashionable icon for the design-conscious South Coast town, as well as providing an exemplar of zero-carbon living through a combination of on and offsite renewables. With a successful refinancing under its belt in 2009, Crest looks set to carry on doing, well, more of the same.
Galliford Try
Galliford Try is a rare thing: an expanding housebuilder. Having secured a rights issue worth £119m and bought two regional firms in Hull and the South-west, 2010 looks set to be an exciting year for the company. Which is good news for homebuyers too, because Galliford Try's customer approval is second to none. Some 97% of its buyers would recommend the company to friends or family, a statistic that is all the more impressive when you consider the diversity of Galliford Try's output – never relying on a standard housing type, but consistently picking up awards for everything from traditional country houses to urban apartments.
Miller Homes
Miller may be in its 75th year, but it's certainly not stuck in its ways. In 2009 it even launched its own YouTube channel and Twitter feed, receiving a nomination for the Golden Twit awards for its troubles. But then, Miller has always been open to new ways of doing things, as shown by the fact that it is the first firm to complete a for-sale zero-carbon home on a live scheme. Its response to HomeBuy Direct has also been impressive: it is providing more affordable homes compared with the funding it receives than any other builder.
United House Developments
United House Developments is rapidly establishing a reputation as one of London's most innovative developers, tackling such unusual challenges as building a deck across a railway line to create a new square in Islington, and converting offices at the Barbican into luxury flats. The financial stats almost make better viewing than the glamorous developments: between 2007 and 2009, turnover has risen from £118m to £220m, with profit leaping from £3m to £15m. Not bad, all things considered …

We've all watched shows like Takeshi's Castle and Wipeout and thought 'yeah, I could do that'.The psychology behind the lockdown buzzcut
Then we watch as athletes in peak physical condition plunge into the water and realise that no, no we can not do that.
And yet the hope lives on. The hope that we are secretly excellent at running, jumping, and swinging.
Which is why we're very excited to discover that there's a way for us to try out our obstacle course skills without risking public humiliation or serious injury.
This summer, the world's longest, continuous, inflatable obstacle course is going on a tour around the UK.
It's called the Labyrinth Challenge, and is a 1,000ft long course made up of 30 obstacles like jump-offs, hurdles, balance beams, and giant balls.
It's set across five themed zones – the Lava Zone, Jungle Zone, Toxic Zone, Combat Zone and Ocean Zone – and starts with a jump off a 20ft platform into a crash bag. Fun.
The final step involves climbing up a wall and sliding down a massive inflatable ship.
After you're done fulfilling your obstacle course dreams or crushing them, there are games and snacks on offer – because rolling around on inflatable slides really works up an appetite.
The tour is starting in Reading this weekend, then will move around the UK from now until September.
Tour locations and dates:
- Reading Outpost Activity Centre, 3 June and 4 June
- Doncaster Racecourse, 9 June to 11 June
- Newcastle Racecourse, 23 June to 25 June
- Wolverhampton Racecourse, 30 June to 2 July
- Chepstow Racecourse, 7 July to 9 July
- Bath Racecourse, 7 July to 9 July
- Haydock Park Racecourse, 28 July to 30 July
- BT Murrayfield Stadium, 4 August to 6 August
- Kempton Park Racecourse, 11 August to 13 August
- Brighton Racecourse, 18 August to 20 August
- Uttoxeter Racecourse, 1 September to 3 September
- Great Yarmouth Racecourse, 8 September to 10 September
- Windsor Racecourse, 15 September to 17 September
- Fontwell Park Racecourse, 22 September to 24 September
If you fancy trying it out, tickets start from £15 and can be bought online.

Hello everybody!
Sorry this one took so freaking long! First Premiere Pro won't start ... Oh yeah! That update for my graphics card! So then I use Windows Update for it: big mistake. Alright, Steam thinks it's up-to-date, and so does Driver Booster!
After a few attempts with reinstalling and uninstalling, I finally got it to work! (THANK YOU GOD!)
Now, those scores ... it's 0 if you hit nothing, or if you do, the tomahawk bounced does NOT stick to the wood (bounces off), 1 if you get to stick in the wood, 2 if you slit the card (the 'bull' of the target) somewhere, 3 if you cut the card in half ... of course this is all getting the 'hawk stuck in the wood ... and I think that's about it! My score on the regular match was 6: first 4 were 1s, last one was 2!
Anyhoo, I'd love to write more ... but it's late, and I'm tired. *YAWN!*
Thanks again for reading me and thanks AGAIN a lot for 50 now 53 NOW 52 subscribers!

At least it's nice to know that the "for richer or for poorer" vow can only move in one direction.
Using 80 bales of hay, Clifford spelled out "WILL YOU MARRY ME RUTH?" creating a minor amount of confusion by leaving out the comma. The plan was to fly his sweetheart over this monument of love at night while a friend illuminated the hay bales with his car's headlights, because nothing drops panties faster than some nighttime hay-spotting. However, the friend with the car never showed up.
In a desperate move to save the special moment, Clifford's brother, Iric, set the bales on fucking fire. The fire quickly spread out of control, consuming the field around it. You know, as fire does.
Leaving onlookers to assume that Satan finally met a nice girl to settle down with.
Luckily, no part of bathing an entire field in an ocean of flames struck Ruth as being totally insane, and she agreed to marry Clifford. Meanwhile, Iric, the Cyrano de Bergerac of this story, got arrested, because of course he did.
This sort of thing is, as it turns out, surprisingly common.
In Shenyang, China, a student named Dim Xiong Chien wanted to propose to his girlfriend, and he wasn't going to settle for a mere hay conflagration. His plan was to take his prospective fiance on a romantic walk through their college campus, culminating in a brilliant impromptu fireworks show lighting up the night sky as he popped the question. However, in what is perhaps the least subtle omen in recorded history, his girlfriend completely forgot to meet him. Not one to be discouraged, Dim went off to find her, but decided to set off the fireworks first to get her attention. Luckily, there's no possible way she could have failed to spot his signal of love, because the three enormous boxes of fireworks Dim ignited and subsequently left unattended set fire to half of the goddamned campus.

Soundtrack review: Disconnect (Max Richter – 2011)
"Disconnect" is a 2012 American drama film directed by Henry Alex Rubin and stars an ensemble cast, which includes Jason Bateman, Hope Davis, Frank Grillo, Andrea Riseborough, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Alexander Skarsgård, Max Thieriot and fashion designer Marc Jacobs in his debut acting role. The film explores how people experience the negative sides of modern communication technology by following three interconnecting stories. Max Richter wrote the score.
I have made it my mission to listen to any composition by Max Richter, be it classical, film or TV, ever since I heard the first minutes from his score for the first season of "The leftovers"; the music left a permanent mark inside me and I still count that as one of the most intense and lasting first impressions I ever got from a composer. For me Max Richter is one of the most gifted piano players and composers in the world and he enchants me and moves me with his music every chance he gets. Now I am listening to this score from 2012 and the first cue already has me in a state where I could me mopped away with a cloth: "On the nature of daylight" is one of his most stunningly beautiful and touching pieces but I already knew that since this is the poignant start and end of my favourite movie from 2016 "Arrival". Johan Johannsson wrote that score but the director used this magnificent Max Richter composition to begin and close his wonderfully emotional story. "On the nature of daylight" transcends film music; it actually transcends music itself and goes somewhere much more spiritual and intimate. It really is a piece of music that will last forever. Where can he go from here? If he starts a score with a cue like this what else does he have in store? Is it even possible to have something better?
Probably not but he can write something different and come back from the astral plain right into the plot of the movie; the story is about technology, fast moving, connections or lack there of so the score changes its pace to colder and more alert during enough moments and I imagine those are the moments when the on screen images need to take precedence. Luckily Max Richter has his own path and comes up also with some splendid reflective ambient cues like "Zero balance". This sounds plays very well with the idea of mystery and incognito. Everything makes sense to me in the music, from the frantic pace to the quiet moments and I am enjoying the music differently as I am still marked by that opening cue.
Even without that opening "Disconnect" would be a very good thriller score and one of the few where Max Richter leaves out the orchestral for a more modern and electronic sound. I like this side of his music as well and he proves with this score that he can be assigned different kind of projects as well and he can expand his musical world. Me, I am all in especially since I know that he will always find inspiration and place to write piano cues inside a score no matter the story, just like he did here with "Written in the sky" and "Unwritten". It's like all of a sudden he goes to a special place where nothing else matters, other than what he feels inside and wants to put into music; the story doesn't matter, the context doesn't matter. Only his talent and love for the music.

Literary criticisms in Madhumati, a Hindi Literary magazine, March 2004 MEGHAVAHAN
In Meghavahan, the author has presented philosophic thoughts, too, in a simple and attractive way. From the story, its presentation, style and points of view, it is an excellent work. Nirmal Kumar has presented an ancient story in an effective and modern way. His imagination has presented the figures and emotions of the characters poetically and convincingly.
The characterization of Princess Sarawati and Queen Drishti is profound. The novel, though about an ancient happening, is relevant to our times too. The story and its presentation, both, elevate the mind of the reader.
Literary criticism in the famous literary magazine Vaani, Jan- Feb issue 2005 MEGHAVAHAN
Rahul Sankrityayana had initiated the art of creating a whole novel on the basis of scanty history. Meghavahan is the most successful outcome of this literary tradition. With the help of his amazing creative and imaginative powers, Nirmal Kumar has transformed the historical Meghavahan Kharvel into a vigilant and powerful defender of India's unity and cultural integrity. He has attained amazing success in creating a lively, enlightened and powerful character, like Meghavahan Kharvel….. By projecting Meghavahan as a powerful patriot, the author has created the vision of a true politician for the modern politicians of India, and has engraved a message on the canvas of time that, if the Indian politicians of yore had thought like Kharvel, India could never have been enslaved…… Today when the Western culture is overpowering the Indian culture, this novel is giving us a clear and powerful message…… Today when the atmosphere is replete with the idea of the empowerment of woman, the creation of a female character of the stature and strength of Saraswati is an unparalleled achievement in the art of novel writing, and on the part of the novelist who has created her. He brilliantly shows the truth that whenever the Indian men became shaky and failed to steer the ship of India through troubled waters, Indian women rescued the nation……It is indeed a great and powerful novel………which successfully passes the fire-test of a modern novel, too.

When it comes to hangover supplements, Leslabs Detoxx for hangovers is a veteran in the game.
It's been around for years and was formerly called Pretoxx.
As pioneers of the hangover supplement category, they've established a great company reputation.
With more and more products coming on the market, we thought its about time we test it our for ourselves to check whether it can compete with the newbies.
With that in mind, we judge products based on their reputation, safety profile and most importantly ingredient formula.
So how do hangover supplements work?
Products like Detoxx use natural ingredients to mitigate the effects of a hangover by providing your liver with the raw materials it needs to enhance its detoxifying role.
Alcohol is a toxin itself and its metabolism produces even more toxins in the form of free radicals.
These are highly reactive by-products which damage the cells they come into contact with.
Hence why hangovers can be debilitating with symptoms including headache, nausea, brain fog and lack of energy.
Most hangover supplements on the market today use natural antioxidant ingredients which clear the toxic waste products before they can cause damage.
Leslabs Detoxx for hangover ingredients
The first thing we notice is that they use a proprietary blend for their "Liver antioxidant blend."
Proprietary blends are a way for manufactuers to hide their ingredient list.
Most claim to do this to protect their "secret formula".
But the fact of the matter is they use it as it's cheaper to manufacture. This is because the "proprietary blend" is made in bulk to cut costs.
As a result, you'll find that each bottle will have varying levels of each ingredient which is far from ideal.
On the flip side, Detoxx for hangovers uses a good selection of ingredients such as:
N-acetyl cysteine – This is an amino acid that your liver uses to produce glutathione. This is known as the bodys "master antioxidant" due to its potency .
Milk thistle extract – If you're into hangover prevention, you've probably already heard that milk thistle is great for it. We're always to see this included in any hangover pill
B-Vitamins – Detoxx includes these vitamins at a high dose which is pretty important as they are essential in re-building your liver enzymes.
Prickly pear extract – You'll see most hangover supplements use it. There are some studies that say it can reduce hangover symptoms however it's not yet conclusive yet.
Whats missing from Detoxx?
Detoxx ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to selecting the best hangover supplement ingredients.
That being said, we were disappointed to see a few absolutely essential ones missed out.
Dihydroyricetin (DHM) – A flavonoid that is making waves in the hangover supplement world. Its been shown in studies to increase alcohol breakdown which is key to ridding your body of its toxic by-products
Ginger extract – Used worldwide for thousands of years to reduce symptoms of nausea. As hangovers are notorious for making people feel sick, we feel that this ingredient is pretty essential.
Turmeric extract – A well researched anti-inflammatory which is used to reduce aches and pains. If you've experienced a bad hangover, you'll know that headaches and body aches are up there with worst symptom.
L-Theanine – Increases brain alpha waves. These help the mind go into a more relaxed state which can be important if you suffer with hangover anxiety. This ingredient is found naturally in green tea.
Detoxx for hangovers reviews
They have over 2000 reviews on Amazon with mostly positive review. It speaks for itself. They've got a loyal customer base.
At the time of writing they have 4.3 out of 5 stars which is impressive.
Most customers experience reduced hangover symptoms from taking Detoxx.
There are some however who didn't feel any benefit from it.
What about side effects?
The ingredients in Detoxx are all natural with no stimulants or medicines.
As a result, it's safe to take. However it's important to note that everyone is different and some people may have intolerances or allergies to certain ingredients.
Always check the ingredients label and ask your doctor if you're not sure.
Is this the best supplement for me?
We don't currently rate Leslabs Detoxx for hangovers as the best on the market.
The reason is, they use a proprietary blend and also miss out several key ingredients including DHM, ginger and theanine.
When it comes to hangovers, you really need to cover all areas to make sure you wake up feeling at least a little better in the morning.
That being said, Detoxx does have some good ingredients and its actually very reasonably priced at $20.
This makes it one of the cheapest hangover supplements. However, you're getting what you pay for with Detoxx.
Anything else to consider?
Theres a few things we have to mention about hangover supplements. None of them are miracle cures.
They are there to support your recovery and won't act as magic pills.
So its still important to take the necessary precautionary measures by drinking within limits, sticking to lighter coloured drinks and keeping hydrated throughout your night.
Also, its always important to have a meal before you go out as this will slow down the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into your system which is key to reducing hangovers.
Review conclusion – Final thoughts on Detoxx
That brings us to the end of our Detoxx for hangovers review.
Overall, we think that this is a decent supplement that has some good ingredients at solid doses.
It's just a shame that it's missing a few of our favourite ingredients and uses a proprietary blend.
To summarize, we think that Detoxx is a solid supplement, but we don't rate it as one of the very best in this category.

Of course, every bus will eventually go above 50 MPH and slow back down, so you still might be in the clear. You just need to make sure you keep your stupid loophole a secret until the bomb blows up. And not that we should have to tell you this, but when we say you shouldn't tell anyone, that includes the explosives expert who, despite his dazed expression and perpetually stoned manner of speaking, is the only person who's ever come close to being able to catch you.
You would want to keep him as far away from your convoluted, gaping loophole as possible. Agreed?
Why It Failed:
Goddamnit Payne, you told the bomb expert! In fact, he's the first person you told! And then you let him get on the bus and spend an hour and a half trying to figure out how to screw up your plot!
It's right around here where we have to stop questioning your intelligence and start questioning whether you want to be a terrorist at all.

Bee Lady
We were lucky to have a visit from Alison, the bee lady! She taught us about the anatomy of a bee and how important they are in helping flowers to reproduce. We also built a beehive, labelled parts of a flower and looked at honeycomb. We had an unbeeeeelievable day!
Ludlow Castle
We had a very enjoyable visit to Ludlow Castle. We learned about life in a castle, dressed up as different people who lived there and had a banquet! We completed different activities - labelling a castle, designing our own tiled floor and drawing different artefacts. In the afternoon, we had our our tour of the castle and were lucky that no-one got left in the dungeons!
Keeping Healthy
Year 2 have settled into the school year very well. We have been learning all about healthy food, the importance of exercise and about how to keep clean. We especially liked designing and making a healthy pizza! We taste tested different bases and decided which one we liked the best. We also chose our toppings deciding which would be the healthiest! The best part was making our pizzas and getting to eat them at they end. Most of us agreed that they tasted delicious!

*Do the parents of the Godchild get a gift for the Godparents?
While it is a great honor to be chosen as a Godparent for a child, it is also a great responsibility. A proper gift of thanks is appropriate at the baptism. The gift can be anything of choosing and can range from a frame for a picture of the godchild, to kitchenware, to homeware, or to something specific for the Godparent's taste. A religious gift icon, for example - is always appropriate as well. The main requirement is that the gift be heartfelt to acknowledge the responsibility that the Godparent has just assumed.

Okay, he's taken the bait. We'll let him get close, then you distract him by puking on his coat, and I'll take him down.
City Streets was written by Gene Harvey, aka Jack Hanley, who we last saw authoring 1942's Leg Artist. Harvey was a literary vet who authored such memorable lite-sleaze epics as She Couldn't Be Good, A Girl Called Joy, and Stag Stripper. City Streets is from 1954 and apparently his various publishers liked it so much they issued it four times—Venus Books put it out in 1950 as Cutie, Exotic Novels released it as Passion's Slave the same year in an illustrated format, Original Novels published it as what you see above, and finally Star Novels published it, also as City Streets, in 1955. These companies were closely related, but that's still a lot of mileage from one book. It explores the trials and tribulations of beautiful young Dru, "a bad girl of the slums," who's gotten her education from the school of hard knocks—i.e. from Chicago's south side. The cover art on this is by Rafael DeSoto, who cleverly hid his signature in the gutter. It's a really beautiful effort from him, certainly one of his best. We've featured him often, so just click his keywords below if you want to see more.

That's great. Very sexy. Now why don't we—just for context, you understand—see where the legs actually attach.
Originally published in hardback in 1942, with this Red Circle paperback appearing in 1949, Leg Artist is the story of a model named Lee Martin who rises to the top of her profession only to be targeted by a con man and felled by the tabloid press. The title refers to the photographic arts but is also a double entendre, as a "leg artist" is mid-century slang for a man adept at picking up women. Harvey revisited this theme later with 1950's Leg-Art Virgin. Red Circle was part of a publishing group put together by U.S. publisher Martin Goodman, and some of these companies evolved into Timely Comics, which in turn morphed into Marvel Comics. The art for this cover is by unknown.

Back in the early-70s, when what is now Cumbria was spread between Cumberland, Westmorland, and parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, I became a frequent user of the county record offices. What began as a family history search became a local history study, and I came to appreciate the great value of the archive services maintained and operated by our county councils. Students of Lake District history would be in great difficulties without them.
Life has changed since then. There was no such thing as a laptop computer, and any thought of a handheld pda such as a Palm or Blackberry was the stuff of science fiction. Search rooms were small, and one sat at tables with paper and pencil poring over boxes of papers – yes, the originals, not images on a screen. Such indexes as existed were typescripts, and much of the contents of many boxes had never yet been indexed.
Of course the functions of a county record office are wider ranging than to provide a service for amateur, or even professional, historians. The county archivist has statutory duties with respect to the documentation of the various local government bodies. Nevertheless what most people these days experience is the provision of information in the form of old, even ancient, documents recording the history of towns, villages, parishes, houses and families.
Those of us with an interest in Lake District history, or Cumbria family history outside the National Park, owe a great debt to the professionalism of the staff at the record offices in Carlisle, Kendal, Barrow and Whitehaven. They, however, need modern facilities in which to provide the ever more sophisticated services we ask of them.
It is good, therefore, to know that the building of the new state-of-the-art Carlisle record office is under way and completion is expected late in 2010. The major task of packing for the move is already in progress. Apparently volunteers to help with this massive "house move" are still being sought. Click here for more details if you're interested.

Your eye health relies on a consistent production of tears that nourish and hydrate your eyes. When your oil glands malfunction, you can develop dry, irritable eyes, leading to tremendous discomfort. This is especially true for contact lens wearers who need additional lubrication for maximum comfort. At Watson Dry Eye Center, ophthalmologist Susan Watson, MD, offers an innovative treatment called LipiFlow®, which restores glandular function. If you suffer from dry eyes and you're located in the Raleigh, North Carolina, area, call or use the online scheduling tool to find relief.
Why would I need IPL?
There are certain inflammatory skin conditions that can affect the health of your eyes, including ocular rosacea, which impedes the glands around your eyes from producing critical oils, leading to bacteria buildup. The symptoms of ocular rosacea include:
Ocular rosacea is almost always tied to the facial version of the disease, but some people develop the ocular version first.
While many of the symptoms of ocular rosacea are a matter of comfort, if left unchecked, the condition can cause more serious problems down the road, such as inflammation in your cornea.
What is IPL?
As a specialist in dry eyes, Dr. Watson has researched every treatment option available and has chosen the most effective tools for most every situation. When it comes to rosacea, she turned to the dermatology field to find the best treatments for this inflammatory skin condition and found that there's been incredible success using a laser therapy known as intense pulsed light, or IPL.
IPL has been in use for many years to reduce or eliminate skin discolorations, such as brown spots, age spots, broken blood vessels, and rosacea. At Watson Dry Eye Center, the team uses the therapy to tackle ocular rosacea by delivering multiple wavelengths of light into the area to break up broken blood vessels.
The energy from the IPL constricts your blood vessels, while the heating effect works to open up your glands to promote better oil secretions for your tears.
Most patients experience immediate relief after just one treatment, but the team at Watson Dry Eye Center typically administers three to six treatments spaced several weeks apart for the best results.
Does IPL hurt?
One of the greatest advantages of using light energy is that it passes harmlessly through your skin and is absorbed by your pigment and blood vessels below. You may feel a snapping sensation during the treatment, but the mild discomfort is short-lived.
Rest assured, Dr. Watson and her team keep your comfort foremost in their minds with any treatment they administer, and IPL is no different.
To learn more about the innovative IPL therapy for inflammatory eye conditions, call Watson Dry Eye Center, or use the online scheduling tool to book an appointment.

Bess sat on the wooden bench, in front of the metal tool shed, while Mr. Mars cleaned the lawnmower. "Do you think there are ghosts?"
Mr. Mars wiped his greasy hands on a rag. "Haven't seen any."
Bess laid her book to one side. "I heard noises in the attic. Megan and I are afraid to go up there."
Mr. Mars chuckled. "Shall we go look?"
They went in the back door, of the red brick apartment building, and up the back stairs. Bess followed Mr. Mars up the creaky uncarpeted stairs until they reached the attic door. There was a loud creak when he pushed the wooden door open and strolled into the dimly lit cluttered room.
"This room gives me the creeps," Bess wrapped her arms around her chest as she peered into the shadowy corners. "I've got goose bumps."
The air was filled with the sound of shuffling feet and the constant rattling of the shutters when Mr. Mars crossed the room to pull the cord on the overhead light. The bare bulb bathed the room in a golden light but didn't reach the corners. "It's time everything was cleaned out. Most of it is junk anyway. Will have to fix the windows and shutters. Could be the source of your noises."
"Want help? It's boring because Megan is grounded and can't even have company." Bess said as she looked around. "We always hear creaking and footsteps."
"Hmm." Mr. Mar stroked his goatee. "Two can get the job done faster. Maybe find the source of your ghost."
"Our apartment is one floor below and often hear noises at night," Bess said, as she pulled out a box of old newspapers.
"Time for a bonfire." Mr. Mars looked through another box of old magazines and books.
Bess rummaged through the books. "Can I keep them? Don't throw them out. Here is an old copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales."
"Of course, you can have them," Mr. Mars said, as he opened another box. "Why, it's full of old toys. Wonder who stashed these? There is a teddy bear on top."
"They could be donated . I'll add the teddy bear to my collection," Bess said. "Hey, look at these albums."
Often wondered where those disappeared to," Mr. Mars said. "The wife almost turned the apartment upside down searching for them."
Bess knelt in front of the box of toys and pulled out two dusty teddy bears. "Just need cleaning and cuddling."
"Shall we continue?" Mr. Mars said. "No sign of your ghost though. Possibly tree branches scraping the windows. Was it windy when you heard the noise?"
"No, not always." Bess set the books, teddies and albums to one side.
"A slight breeze makes those old shutters bang," Mr. Mars pointed towards the ceiling. "Look there."
"Look at what?" Bess asked as she looked upward.
"Follow me. I think that's the source of your ghost," Mr. Mars strode across the rough plank floor towards the window.
Bess looked up at the ceiling as a beam of sunlight peaked through. "What has that got to do with the noises?"
"See that nest in the exposed beams," Mr. Mars said, pointing. "The window is broken and the wind makes the shutters bang and creak. Critters can get in."
"Why yes," Bess answered. "Is it a bird's nest?"
"Don't think so," Mr. Mars said. " I will set up the step ladder and we'll have a look."
"Can I look first," Bess asked when the ladder was ready.
"You bet," Mr. Mars said, as he steadied the ladder.
"How cute," Bess said, as she looked at the baby squirrels nestled together. "They wouldn't make that much noise would they?"
"They run around at night and sleep during the day. Will get someone to fix the roof and window," Mr. Mars said, as Bess climbed down.
"What will happen to the squirrels?" Bess asked as she sorted through a box of magazine clippings. "There are a lot of old recipes and pictures in this box. What do you want to do with them?"
"Will have to ask the wife," Mr. Mars said. "Most will go into a bonfire. It's a fire hazard up here. The squirrels will be relocated."
They worked silently each lost in their own thoughts and soon had piles for donation, bonfire and keeping.
"Help push those old dressers against the wall. Someone might be able to use this old furniture. The wife donates items to needy folk," Mr. Mars said, as he leaned an old oak mirror against the wall.
"Can I have the mirror and corner book case?" My shelves are overflowing," Bess asked.
"Of course. You'll need a place for those old books." Mr. Mars said. "You have been a big help. Been putting this job off for months now. Glad it's done."
"Won't Megan be surprised when she learns the source of our ghost," Bess said, as she headed down the narrow stairs.
The End
This is a story of what Bess's life was like before she became sick. If you like this story then maybe you would like to read the free first chapter that is on one of the pages.

Shrimp Etuffee (CMvet @ HT)
I started making this after moving back to California, and was craving Alligator Soul(in Seattle)!
I recommend using a porcelain coated cast iron pot like a Le Creuset or similar.
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 fresh tomatoes, chopped (or 1 can of stewed tomatoes diced)
- 1/4 teaspoon Pueblo Dynamite Powder
- 3 tablespoons seafood seasoning (Old Bay)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons I'm So Chile Hot Sauce
- 1 cup fish stock or chicken stock
- 1 pound crawfish tails ( I never do)
- 1 pound medium shrimp – peeled and deveined
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour, and stir constantly until the mixture turns 'peanut butter' brown or darker ( I prefer Mohagany), will take 20 – 30 minutes. I use a flat edged wooden spoon. This is your base sauce or 'Roux'. It is very important to stir this constantly. If it burns, start over. This is where the depth of your Etouffee will come from..
Once the roux is browned, add the onions, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the skillet, and sauté for about 5 minutes to soften. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and fish stock, and season with the seafood seasoning. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season the sauce with hot pepper sauce and cayenne pepper (if using), and add the crawfish and shrimp. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque.

Originally submitted by the Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA)
Mr. Godwin Bana, a retailer from Kagera region in Tanzania, is a registered participant in the PMI-supported Tanzania National Voucher Scheme (TNVS). He accepts Hati Punguzo (HP) vouchers, which are issued to pregnant mothers and infants through reproductive and child health clinics, in exchange for insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs). The program provides Mr. Bana with a guaranteed market for his product, and it ensures that pregnant mothers and infants receive the protection they need from malaria.
Like many retailers, Mr. Bana has a permanent shop where he conducts most of his sales. However, he realizes that many people live in remote areas and cannot travel such long distances. As a way to boost sales and improve the program, he began joining with mobile clinics conducting outreach services to rural parts of the community. As a result, voucher recipients can now receive an ITN without making the long journey to the nearest HP retailer.
Prior to the start of the TNVS, which is part of Tanzania's national malaria control program, many communities experienced shortages of ITNs, especially in rural areas. People were forced to travel many kilometers to town centers in search of retailers who stocked this product. Now, thanks to the guaranteed market provided by the TNVS, nearly 7,000 retailers and wholesalers nationwide sell ITNs. This large private network is helping to overcome the problem of ITN scarcity and distances people must travel, while at the same time helping local businesses to earn a sustainable living.
The President's Malaria Initiative provides support to the TNVS for the HP infant voucher. Infants receive a voucher when they are brought in for measles vaccination. The program is implemented through a partnership of three NGOs and contractors – Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA), World Vision, and Population Services International – and operates in all 21 regions of mainland Tanzania. The TNVS is also supported by the Global Fund to Fight Tuberculosis, AIDS and Malaria.

20th Century Fox Gamifies Movie Trailer To Promote 'Kingsman: The Secret Service'
The action flick's marketing site tests people to see if they have what it takes to be a Kingsman.
Working with Unit9, 20th Century Fox is promoting its upcoming Colin Firth/Samuel L. Jackson film, Kingsman: The Secret Service, with a combination of film and online interactivity that puts the player right in the middle of the plot.
The interactive site introduces players to the film's lead characters and lets them navigate through a series of gamified challenges offering users a taste of the Kingsman's world while also revealing added video content. The whole thing is led by lead character Harry Hart, played by Colin Firth.
Employing a cross-device connection between mobile and desktop, people can play two mission challenges within the "Become a Kingsman" world. Each uses video sequences inspired by scenes in the movie. One mission is a fight scene; the other is a timed trial using Google Maps. Each puts players' skills to the test to see if they have what it takes to be a Kingsman Knight.
Throughout the game, players are regaled with witty repartee from the Harry Hart character such as accusations of a "total absence of hand-eye-coordination" of player behavior that is "as discreet as a porcupine in a pillowcase." In what is most likely not a nod to that other action film franchise with Liam Neeson, player are also told to "work on their so-called skills" before reconsidering their application as Kingsman Knight.
You can check out a video overview of the game here:
20th Century Fox is aggressively promoting the movie on Twitter and Facebook with loads of content including movie clips, trailers, stills, hundreds of retweets of others' comments on the movie and a little dose of Super Bowl #SB49 hashtag hijacking.
Kingsman: The Secret Service opens February 13.

Colossians 1:3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Philemon 1:23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

Tim Allen's been doing fairly nicely over at ABC, the place his hit comedy Final Man Standing has been a mainstay for four seasons. I simply acquired a comment asking about watching Netflix on HD. I initially thought that it was as a result of my VPN however I can now affirm that it's not. I agree with all you've said, which is why I have not watched TV in years apart from sports and the information every so often. When the forged would take their bows at the finish of filming, Earl Hindman would maintain a miniature part of fence made of tongue depressors in entrance of the decrease a part of his face. One other DVR which might be related to an antenna to capture over-the-air TV programming is the Channel Master TELEVISION CM 7400 HD DVR (CM7400).
Because youngsters imagine that what they see on TELEVISION is real and true, you will need to take further care to ensure that the characters they watch are various and optimistic. Netflix's PR goons then go on to drop the bomb that Netflix will now be separating all unlimited DVD and unlimited streaming plans in the U.S. A huge improvement over some of my different boards and one my spirits appear fond of. I've seen collectors and preppers submit their complete coin collection on-line to point out off—silly, stupid, silly!
With annual cable TELEVISION payments already exceeding $one thousand-and anticipated to nicely exceed $2000 by 2020-these will permit families to scale back their discretionary spending without main life-style adjustments. Also within the episode where Al takes over a cooking present as a favor and Tim is diminished to enjoying second banana they basically swap schticks and Al becomes the Small Name, Big Ego while Tim is the quieter, competent, Deadpan Snarker sidekick. One of the amazing parts in regards to the sequence is seeing that younger forged grow into their very own. They ask to use your bathroom and get an excellent take a look at all the things inside your house.
To find out if you happen to can obtain over-the-air TV broadcasts, visit and enter your zip code, avenue tackle and whether your antenna peak shall be above 30 feet from ground stage. Crochet hats and scarves, restore outdated images and frame them, scan old photographs and add them to a digital body (purchase online earlier in the 12 months). A: There isn't any evidence to help this rumor that started in the sixties, when Normal Electric bought TV units that emitted extreme quantities of radiation.
You either want to or you do not – do not draw it out for episodes on end and get each cast member involved. After the first few episodes accomplished with Patricia Richardson as Jill, Tobolowsky was still tied up along with his different commitments, and Karn found himself in his function permanently when Tobolowsky decided he would have no time to do a collection. Battling the contraption, I went to the deck and put it up against the house.

South Korean popular culture is providing rich flavours and fun moves at Monash University for Korea Week, which runs until September 7.
The Korean Appreciation Student Association (KASA) will run the events in collaboration with the university's Korean Language department to encourage students to get involved, said KASA marketing officer Esra Sahingoz.
"The Korean Studies department at Monash is constantly growing, and I hope through this collaboration, more students and faculty who already have a vested interest in Korean culture will pursue studies in the Korean Studies field," she said.
The week will be dedicated to events relating to the Korean culture including traditional Korean music and dance performances, taekwondo workshops, kimchi-making and Korean food tasting events, as well as Korean conversation learning circles.
Ms Sahingoz said people are attracted to Korean culture because it is so unlike Western entertainment.
South Korean rapper PSY's 2012 viral hit Gangnam Style assisted in the initial introduction for many into K-pop, which then started spreading like wildfire internationally.
Gangnam Style held the title for the most viewed video on YouTube for five years straight, and currently has over 3.3 billion views.
Another K-Pop sensation, BLACKPINK, formed in 2016, now has their own reality TV show called BLACKPINK House.
The BLACKPINK House series has amassed over 45 million views on YouTube, and their YouTube channel now has over 10 million subscribers.
South Korea's unique fashion, food, Korean soap-opera television (K-drama), skincare and music have continued to attract the world.
A 2017 report found South Korean tourism skyrocketed, increasing from 300,000 tourists visiting per annum in 1998, to 11.8 million in 2014.
Ms Sahingoz said the fandom culture and accessibility of artists is "vastly different to that of the Western international entertainment industry".
"This kind of connectivity is something that is so unique to Korean entertainment that Western media doesn't really accommodate," she said.
Monash also holds a weekly dance class as part of Monash Dance Sports (MDS), providing an hour-long K-pop boy group and a K-pop girl group dance class that anyone can be a part of.
MDS K-pop member Shruthi Shankar said she "stumbled" across the K-Pop dance classes when she was performing for another group.
"I thought it was so cool because I am a huge fan of BTS, ATEEZ and NCT [K-pop boy groups] and love dancing, so this was perfect," she said.
Ms Shankar said the "high energy" dance classes are run by a professional teacher, and the classes have enabled her to become more social at university.
"I look forward to classes every week and I've made a lot of friends through it," she said.
KASA's upcoming events include their annual ball, which is thematically organised around a K-pop music video every year, a K-Pop trivia night, and another K-BBQ event.
