Remember back here where I queried the installation of Give Way signs for cyclists on the new Fitzroy Street, St Kilda bike path? It seems someone was reading or there have been complaints as they have been removed and new 'Road Ahead' signs erected.
Then there was the tow bar discussion a week or so ago. I came across this tow bar on a car in Prahran last week. It has rubber around the protrusion and will protect peoples legs somewhat. Better than nothing but still dangerous.
Speaking of roads, are these the last set of traffic lights in Melbourne with the old yellow lamp covers and backboards? Location siv you play?

the old lights ... Sth Melb?
Ferrars? Bank St? I owned a house once, in Dundas Place and used to catch the 10 on Canterbury Rd.
No idea but I shudder to think what they demolished next to that blue terrace jobie to erect that steaming pile of horse crap impersonating a box :(ReplyDelete
Hot flushes on top of hot flushes, sorry ;)

Following up on our previous post, here is another building that demonstrates Voorhees Walker Foley and Smith's later stripped-down modern style in brick. The Church of Saint Emeric on 13th Street between Avenues C and D, dates from 1949. Its placement is unique, sitting on a large lot among public housing and the enormous Con Edison power facility to the north. The back of the church can be seen in the image below behind the quonset hut.
At the other corner of the site is a school building, labeled St. Emeric School, now closed and under renovation or demolition. This structure was almost definitely designed by Voorhees Walker Foley Smith as well. There is a little mystery here as this location is given in building records as St. Mary Magdalen Church and School done by Voorhees Walker in 1945, but the signage on the school listing it as Saint Emeric looks original.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME - Golden Oldies On the Big Screen
Golden Oldies On the Big Screen Golden Oldies On the Big Screen
For Hicksflicks.com, Friday, June 7, 2019
EDITOR'S NOTE: Famed wheelchair-bound physicist Stephen Hawking, who died last year at the age of 86, wrote a best-selling book that was turned into a hit documentary movie in 1991. If you'd like to see it on the big screen, now's your chance, as the Salt Lake Film Society presents 'A Brief History of Time' at the Tower Theater during the coming week as part of its 'The Greatest: Life-Changing Documentaries' series. My review was published in the Deseret News on Oct. 23, 1992.
A fascinating documentary by master filmmaker Errol Morris ("The Thin Blue Line," "Gates of Heaven"), "A Brief History of Time" is an adaptation of the best-selling book by handicapped British physicist Stephen Hawking, a complex explanation of his theories of the universe.
But don't let that chase you away. Morris cleverly, with the use of dazzling film technique, integrates these theories with a biographical story, Hawking's life. The result is a highly entertaining film that allows Hawking's views to become (somewhat) accessible along the way. Hawking's own delightful sense of humor also helps and his uniquely optimistic outlook on life permeates the project from beginning to end.
Stephen Hawking, 'A Brief History of Time' (1992)
Hawking suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known in this country as Lou Gehrig's disease. During the film, he sits motionless in a wheelchair, one hand operating a speech synthesizer that sounds like a robot or computer, without emotion.
But, as with Hawking's difficult ideas, Morris knows how to use this to advantage and what results is a compelling film work, combining impossibly large ambitions with the story of one man's difficult but important life.
"Did the universe have a beginning?" Hawking asks, later using for emphasis the age-old question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Morris illustrates all of this quite imaginatively, with everything from a live chicken placed against computer-generated pictures of the universe to clips from the old Disney science-fiction movie "The Black Hole" (an amusing joke).
Morris also employs traditional interviews, a stirring musical score by Philip Glass and even a narrative device, building a sense of suspense as the audience becomes aware of just how degenerative Hawking's disease is and a question arises about whether he will be able to finish his work before his body gives out completely.
Stephen Hawking, 'A Brief History of Time' (1992)
In the end, the film's success is largely a matter of Morris revitalizing the documentary form without ever sacrificing his front-end agenda, which is to tell a story.
If I have a complaint about "A Brief History of Time" it is Morris' penchant for not identifying his talking heads until the end credits. But that's minor carping for what is, on the whole, an absolutely mesmerizing work.
The film is not rated but would doubtless receive a G.

We hired one of these in September 06 possibly the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven
We hired one of these last year (2002) We did not find it heavy to handle, and the whole experience was comfortable. The climate control was brilliant and it was a generally quiet ride. The interior space was good and the power more tahn enough to keep ahead of the Greek lorry drivers who tend to try to ride your back bumper! I cannot say where we hired from, as we took the car to the very top of Mount Ainos, guided by a Kefalonite who grew up on the island and knew every inch of the roads. The car came back as good as new, but I would not recommend the trip to anyone who does not have a good guide, unless you are going by 4X4, and even then I would strongly advise caution. We would not do that trip again as our guide has now returned to Australia, and we would not go on our own, unless it was to walk to the top of the mountain in the spring. We will certainly be choosing the Accent again this year in June, and look forward to driving to our favourite places in comfort.

Everyone has an idea of what the new Android OS 4.4 KitKat will bring to its users, Google launched the new OS along with the launch of the Nexus 5.
What we are talking about here is the feature that has not been noticed lately, as the Android 4.4 will include a new photo editor. The company's Nicolas Roard shows, users can now apply effects, filters and adjustments at very precise levels, down to specific color channels and regions. Users can create presets, and every change made can be reversed. As demonstrated in the video it takes just a couple of taps to revert to the original image.
The Nexus 5 release date should be sometime next month as pictures of the device hit the internet this week.
The photos were taken by a MacRumors user who happened to encounter the device while out and about. He released a brief report detailing his experience with the Nexus 5.
"Got to handle the Nexus 5," he said. "It is smaller than the G2. Didn't actually measure it, but holding it in the hand it is smaller. It does feel good holding it. The black back cover feels like my Nexus 7. The screen was ok, didn't wow me like the Note 3. The bezel is very small."
A blue version of the HTC One is coming, and what was previously only a render is now a fully-fledged leaked device.
A version of the device in a sea-coloured hue was spotted on a subway train in China, and was uploaded to Mobile01, a smartphone-related forum. This confirms the previous leak by evleaks and a leaked casing of the handset in the same colour.
HTC must be planning its HTC One follow-up already, as the device was announced in February and released in April. Rumours of a One Max persist, with an announcement slated for early next [...]
Photos of the HTC One Mini popped up just last week. Now there's a new image to go along with some hardware specifications for HTC's upcoming 4.3-inch phone.
Bloomberg is confirming what we already knew. According to "two people familiar with the matter," HTC will release a smaller version of their popular HTC One flagship phone. The report indicates that the One mini will have a 4.3-inch display and "will probably have a less-powerful Qualcomm Inc. processor and lower-resolution screen than the flagship."
When the images of the HTC One mini leaked online a couple weeks ago the [...]
Dell has announced the launch of its S Series of monitors, targeting consumers seeking entertainment experiences such as watching movies or playing games. The new monitors come in 27″, 24″, 23″ and 21.5″ sizes and will be available soon on Dell's India website.
These monitors carry Image Enhance Feature which delivers increased picture quality and color producing razor sharp images with crisp edges and fine details. These monitor penal could be tilted up to 4 degrees forward or 21 degrees backwards. This will help the users in enjoying wide viewing [...]
KitGuru has leaked what it claims is a "test sample" with the glass front panel roughly intact. We've seen the darker steel sides, aluminum back and new dock connector before, but the front gives us a much better sense of how the finished product will turn out. Sitting next to an iPhone 4S, it's suggested that the new model would stuff in that bigger screen more through a better use of the available area — there's much less blank space than on the iPhones we've known since 2007. Now as we're getting closer to the official launch of the next iPhone, be prepared for an avalanche of leaked images!
As requested by our viewers, Bharat Nagpal unboxes the Pebble Blue version of the Samsung Galaxy S3. The box contains a 2100 mAH battery, Stereo headphones with changeable earbuds and a microphone, a mains plug with USB sync charge cable, a Quick start guide and a Warranty card. The MRP of the device is INR 42,000 but is available in the market for around INR 36,000.
We will be coming out with a full in-depth review soon, so stay tuned!
Check out our unboxing, hand-on, video and image samples and launch videos here :
A newly leaked marketing render of HTC's upcoming Omega Windows Phone has surfaced the inter webs of today. Specs include :1.5GHz processor 512MB of RAM 8-megapixel camera 3.8-inch display WIndows Phone 7 Mango Looks like a juiced up variant of the Sensation for Windows Phone 7. It will be interesting to see if this device ever makes it to India. We are trying to get more info on this.
Toshiba has released a new CMOS image sensor with a 0.25 inch optical format. This new sensor has the smallest pixel size to date of 1.12 micrometers and delivers cutting edge peformance with its built in back-side illumination technology.
The sensor has been designed to accomodate tight form factors and still capture high definition images. Due to this feature, the company expects it to be embedded into mobile devices such as cameras, smartphones, tablets and even laptops in the near future. The 8.08 MP sensor can capture video at 60 frames per second at both 720p and 1080p resolutions.
Today we have an image editing software for you which manipulates images and allows you to re-colour them. Like the caricature artists in fairs you too can now cartoonize and re-colour your images from your photo albums or take fresh images from your camera. You can share your images in the ToonPAINT hall of fame, post them directly to facebook, tweet about them and also e-mail them.
Lets look at some of the features of the app. After you've selected your image, the app processes the image and you can pan/zoom to the desired region, change shading options and the sizes of various attributes that modify the image. After you've set the image the [...]
Apart from the revamped versions of the Blackberry curve for 2011 the Apollo(GSM) and Sedona (CDMA) the company is said to be working on a full touchscreen Curve, appropriately dubbed the Curve Touch. The device pictured above is said to be the Orlando , which looks like the Sedona/Apollo but has a touchscreen, instead of an regular lcd display.
Whether or not the above image is real or not, all we know is that there is an impressive lineup of devices coming from Blackberry this year.

By Anshul Tewari:
Over the last few days, we told you about what it really means to fight for child rights in India. We also told you Reshma's heart wrenching story how she had a still born child, who suffocated inside her womb, due to lack of proper medical help.
In India, one child dies every 20 seconds due to easily preventable illness. 126 lakh children are engaged in child labour, and 170 lakh children remain out of school. For a country whose 40% of the population constitutes children, we have the dubious distinction of not caring for the future generations of our country. Are we really that selfish?
Pick up any manifesto of one of the mainstream national parties and you will find that there is no strong focus on the development of children. What's problematic is that most of the political manifestos club women and children together, while it is widely known that the issues of women and children are extremely different, and they need to be dealt with differently. Children need a stronger political focus. In a country of over 1.2 billion people, bringing in laws is only the beginning, the real struggle is the implementation, and at the policy level – the battle is not being fought.
Rampant malnourishment cases and those of newborn deaths are growing as we speak. Lack of proper educational and recreational facilities are creating an entire generation of underprivileged population, and sadly enough we do not see it right now. The world decades from now will suffer, and our inaction will be to be blamed.
This election stands as an important one, and you already know it. People are more aware and are asking crucial questions from their leaders, before they cast their vote. This election is also important for one more reason, if you, me and everyone else decide that we want a better future for the children of India, we can take a stand and vote for the party or politician that guarantees us that.
We don't ask for too much. The Save the Children charter details out what really needs to be done, and one quick look at the same will tell you how basic the demands and needs of India's children really are. We want our political leaders to guarantee that once voted to power, they will act and ensure basic rights for India's children.
Political manifestos are being made, and the process is catching speed. We need you NOW to help us advocate.
Save the Children and Youth Ki Awaaz are proud to announce the #Vote4Children campaign that aims at giving you the opportunity to drive strong political advocacy, coupled with strong public action, to ensure that the needs of India's future generation are at the forefront, this election.
In the next few days, you will hear heartbreaking stories which prompt us again and again to fight for a population that is not a vote bank, you will get a chance to engage with influencers and champions of the children's cause, well known social figures such as Nandita Das and others, and will also get to be a part of our political advocacy process. But more than anything, we really want you to sign the #Vote4Children pledge below this post.
Signing the pledge is the first step to telling your decision makers that this situation needs to change, and that the time is NOW to make stronger policies for India's children. When you sign the pledge, decision makers receive the Save the Children charter detailing out what exactly needs to be done. But this is not where it stops. The pressure you build helps your decision makers know that this matters to you, the people, the most. Constant pressure till the elections and beyond is what we need.
As I ask you to sign, I want to leave you with one thought: Decades from now, when our children grow up, they will ask us one question, "Where were you when my future was being decided, why did you not act to ensure that I receive the basic entitlements?", and at that moment you will not have an answer.
Let's not let this happen. Act now and change the future of the country.

Pet Health Insurance
Pets add loyalty, love, and excitement to our lives. Sometimes, that excitement includes accidental injuries and unexpected illnesses. It is our responsibility as owners to have a plan of action when it comes to pet emergencies. The cost of veterinary diagnostics and treatments can add up quickly. Having a financial plan allows conversations between owners and their trusted veterinarian to remain focused on what truly matters – the best treatment plan for the beloved pet. We encourage every pet owner to familiarize themselves with their pet health insurance options, to be better prepared for such an event.
Pick a plan that fits your needs. There are many pet health insurance options available and some may be customized to better fit your budget. Which plan is best will depend on each families circumstances. Below are some guidelines and links to assist your research.
Accident and Illness vs. Wellness Care
When shopping for pet health insurance, a great place to start is by deciding what level of coverage you need. Accident and Illness plans cover various treatments for major unexpected health issues. Wellness Care plans cover preventative care expenses such as vaccinations and annual exams. Not all pet health insurance companies offer wellness care plans. Wellness coverage is often offered as an additional benefit which can be added to an Accident and Illness policy for an additional fee.
Health Plan Terminology
There are several insurance terms to understand. Definitions may vary. It is important to always review the "Definitions" section of any policy.
Premium: The monthly fee you pay for insurance coverage. Ask whether the premium is fixed for life or if you should expect annual increases.
Deductible: The amount that you have to pay annually before the insurer pays anything. For example, if you have a $1000 deductible and your pet needs an $2000 procedure, you will have to pay $1000 before your insurer will pay the remaining $1000. Increasing your deductible may lower your monthly premium.
Coinsurance / Reimbursement Percentages: The percentage you must pay after you've met your deductible. Coinsurance percentages may vary and are often customizable. For example, if you have a plan with 70% / 30% (Insurer / You) co-insurance requirements, the insurer will pay 70% of the full bill and you will be responsible for the remaining 30%.
Annual Limits: The maximum amount that the policy will pay in any annual term. Annual limits may vary and are often customizable.
Coverage / Exclusions All pet health insurance policies have a list of care or conditions which may be limited or not covered. It is important to review these limitations before investing in a policy to ensure that it will meet your families needs. For example:
How does the policy define "pre-existing conditions"? Are hereditary or congenital conditions covered? Is there a maximum age for enrollment? Is any level of dental care covered, etc.?
The Company
Perhaps most importantly, does the company have a good reputation? Reflect on your experiences when investigating each company. Are the policies and information provided reasonably easy to understand? Does the claims process seem reasonable? Was customer service available to answer your questions? Are there any discounts or hidden fees? Transparency is key!
Use What You Know
Shopping for pet health insurance can be overwhelming. Hopefully the information provided here will help you research with confidence. Know that, regardless of the outcome, you are taking responsible steps for your family. If questions arise, we would be happy to help!

Everyone wants to look their best but people rarely think about how their health affects the state of their hair. Unhealthy, dry, and damaged hair is not only due to poor maintenance but also neglect of the body. Here are a few quick tips to keep your hair shiny and your body healthy.
- Work-out at least 3 to 5 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- When doing cardio, the rule of thumb is to burn 100 calories every 10 minutes.
- Do weight training 2 to 3 days out the week. Cardio is great, but you must build your muscles to gain more metabolism.
- Change your eating habits. Eat clean, green, and raw as much as possible.
- Let your hair breathe. Expose yourself to open sunlight everyday for a healthy dose of Vitamin D.

There are many 20,000 mAh battery packs hitting the market lately. Portable batteries and charging solutions are popular among all mobile users, especially power ones.
Limefuel offers a 20,000 mAh portable battery that can charge two devices at once, at varying levels, on the go. But can it be your go to portable battery charger on the go?
Let's look at the Limefuel 20,000 mAh battery pack and see what type of punch it backs for mobile users on the go.
More About the Limefuel 20,000 mAh Battery Pack
The Limefuel battery pack can output 1A and 2.1A through two ports. It's universally compatible, working with tablets and phones alike. You can charge two devices at once, making this an option when on the go with family, friends or coworkers.
It offers an auto on and off feature, ensuring you're only getting the charge you need to preserve its battery life along with your device's batteries. It features a digital display to let you know what its battery life is at, along with to ensure you it's charging your devices and which ports are active.
A unique feature of the Limefuel 20,000 mAh is its built-in flashlight. This makes it a tad bit easier to charge your phone or tablet in the dark or simply have a light at night. The battery pack runs on a heavier side due to its capacity, weighing about a pound and measuring 6.4 x 3 x .9 inches in total size.
This isn't a battery pack you throw in a purse or backpack without feeling the weight. Limefuel boasts a 500+ lifetime cycle of use for this battery pack, which is among the highest on the market.
Limefuel 20,000 mAh Review
Out of the simple packaging this device comes from, it looks and feels good when holding in your hands. The weight is expected but doesn't seem overwhelming or a deterrent for power users.
However, right off the bat, both 1A and 2.1A ports had trouble charging my Samsung Galaxy S5. It seems the connections in the port are bad or loose, which meant I had to jiggle my charging cable to get the charge started. After a few uses, it became less necessary to do so as the ports became "use" to my cable. I'm not sure. It still happens every now and then, I jiggle the charging cable, and it charges without pause until I unplug.
This battery pack seems to charge slower, even with a 2.1A output and Samsung default lightning cable. Plugged in to the wall my Galaxy S5 charges in less than two hours when fully depleted, it took close to 3.5 with this battery pack. I gave up trying to charge my tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3) on it, it just wouldn't get enough juice to matter much in the long run if the battery was drained.
While a 20,000 mAh battery pack, in theory, should charge a Galaxy S5 about seven times. I was able to get four to five full charges out of it. Not sure where the battery drain is coming from between the Limefuel or my phone, but when compared to other battery packs out there, I've yet to come across this issue which leads me to believe the Limefuel battery pack is losing capacity somewhere or isn't as efficient charging as it claims to be.
Note: I will say that looking at other reviews of this unit, not everyone experienced this issue so keep that in mind when choosing a battery pack.
As an overnight charger, this works the best. When you don't need your phone for periods of time, the Limefuel 20,000 mAh battery pack can keep you going when you need it the most.
Despite the negatives I came across when reviewing the Limefuel 20,000 mAh battery pack, for the price, it's a decent power bank to consider for long-term travels, overnight stays, camping and the like. It'll get you through a trip, so long as you utilize it to charge overnight and can charge it back up when not in use. Consider pairing the Limefuel with a decent solar charger, and it'll get you through all occasions.
Disclaimer: The above company sent us the product for testing. However, that has not swayed my opinion of their product one way or another. All conclusions are based on at least a fortnight of careful testing.

Recipe for success at the Rites of Passage Obesity Health and Wellness Camp
Healthy eating
Support – one of the best contributors to success in getting in shape is to make it public. With friends and family keeping someone accountable, they are more likely to follow through on their fitness plan. At the Rites of Passage Obesity Health and Wellness Camp there is a ready- made community of people all in the same boat. We all know what our goal is to get in shape! We encourage one another on days where we don't 'feel' like eating right or exercising, we challenge each other to keep pushing on, and we inspire each other with success stories.
Healthy eating – It cannot be highlighted enough how important the food we consume is on our health. 80% of a person's success with respect to getting healthy will depend on their diet. This is a staggering statistic which is why the Rites of Passage Obesity Health and Wellness Camp put such an emphasis on healthy, holistic foods. For more information see About Healthy Eating.
Aims – "If you aim at nothing you will hit it every time" (~Zig Ziglar). Quite often attempts to get in shape fail because a person has not set clear and specific goals. Examples of specific goals include: increase the amount of vegetables I eat to three times a week, or exercise every day for at least 30 minutes. These are naturally built into the program at the Rites of Passage Obesity Health and Wellness Camp. We aim to walk every day in a fun and exhilarating environment, and we aim to eat in a holistic manner. Achieving these goals are a guarantee. It's this invaluable habit formed during their time with us that enables continued success for students when they return home and have to continue setting specific goals for themselves there.
Psychotherapy – Student's get time to process important questions during their time with us under the supervision of supportive and trained staff. Questions like, 'why do I turn to food so much?', 'Are there other coping mechanisms I can learn to cope in life?', 'what are my personal reasons for wanting to get in shape?', 'how can I stay motivated?'.

"Purpose may point you in the right direction but it's passion that propels you."
— Travis McAshan, Entrepreneur and Web Strategist
It may have been the cold war, but in 1975, something was burning in the hearts of the men and women who came together in Elkhart, Indiana, to build a 500,000-watt shortwave transmitter. This massive piece of technology was able to punch through Russia's jamming efforts and render useless their attempt to keep gospel broadcasts out of their country. What motivated these engineers in 1975 compelled them to come together again in 1986 and take on a challenge, along with other international radio ministries, to reach every major language group in the world with the good news of Jesus Christ.
What propelled these brilliant engineers to give up the potential for lucrative careers and raise their own missionary support to take on these challenges??? Passion.
Having personally experienced the life-transforming message of the gospel and the freedom it brings, these engineers understood the need to reach others with this life-giving news – news that would set them free from the power of sin and infuse them with abundant life.
The very same passion that motivated those first engineers is what continues to propel us today.
Since those early days, SonSet Solutions has established over 500 radio stations around the world and assisted ministry partners in 166 countries. Over 49,000 SonSet® radios have been distributed to strategic locations all over the globe.
But the ministry is not all about radio anymore. SonSet Solutions is passionate about providing our partners with other technology-based solutions that open the door to sharing the life-giving message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
One such solution is a monitoring system that allows ministries to keep track of the functionality of their water wells and alert them to problems and breakdowns. To date, SonSet Solutions has sent 175 water monitoring units to six partner ministries with monitors installed in 14 countries.
SonSet Solutions is researching and developing the ability to monitor other systems such as gospel media downloads for a particular partner. We are exploring mobile media options that will allow us to engage with the next generation. Our engineers create technology-based solutions to help our ministry partners expand their reach and deepen their impact. Two new solutions include the solar media center and equipment power protection unit.
Passion is what drives us to continue to research and develop technology that allows us to introduce people all over the world to the Source of true abundant life. Jesus said, "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:10) That is the life Jesus intended for every soul on earth. The technology may be changing, but we are still doing what those first engineers did many years ago – creating technology for abundant life in Christ. That is the passion that continues to propel the ministry of SonSet Solutions.

Basseterre, St. Kitts, October 29, 2016 (SKNIS)—The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis' first living national hero, Dr. the Right Excellent and the Right Honourable Sir Kennedy A. Simmonds, along with his wife, Lady Simmonds, has given high commendation to Mrs. Akilah Byron-Nisbett on her appointment as Senator in the National Assembly on October 26, 2016.
In a written statement to the St. Kitts and Nevis Information Service, Sir Kennedy and his wife said that they view the appointment of Honourable Senator Byron-Nisbett "as a clear message to the young people of St. Kitts and Nevis that they are welcomed to partake of all the available opportunities for individual growth and development, and be fully assured that their voice will be heard and their concerns addressed."
"She has the qualifications, intelligence and strength of character to succeed in her new appointment and make a valuable contribution towards making our country stronger and more sensitive to the concerns of young people and women from all walks of life," they added. "She graduated from college with high honours and was always recognized for her exceptional work ethic and dedication to all of her undertakings."
Senator Nisbett holds a Master's of Science Degree in Computer Information System from Quinnipiac University, Connecticut, and a Bachelor's of Science in Information Systems Management from the University of South Florida. She has extensive experience in Management Information Systems (MIS), having worked at the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and the MIS Unit, St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank Ltd, as a systems analyst.
For a number of years, the newly appointed honourable senator has been involved in the organisation of the annual Haynes Smith Miss Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant. She has the distinction of representing the Federation in 2000 at the Commonwealth Millennium Youth Parliament.
Senator Nisbett is married to Alexis Nisbett. The couple has three children, two boys, Ajani and Amani, and one girl, Anaya.
Adding to the plaudits of Sir Kennedy and Lady Simmonds, Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris said that his Cabinet gave full support to the appointment of Mrs. Byron-Nisbett as the right choice to fit the post of Senator in the National Assembly and imminently as deputy speaker.
"I am truly delighted to welcome Mrs. Akilah Byron Nisbett as our newly appointed Senator to the Federal Parliament. In surrendering a lucrative career at the ECCB, she has demonstrated how highly she regards national service through her own self-sacrifice. Not only does her appointment increase female representation in one of the highest public offices, but as a working mother of three, she stands as an excellent role model and inspiration for all women across the Federation, showing just what can be achieved through hard work and dedication," Prime Minister Harris said.
Sir Kennedy Simmonds was a founding member of the People's Action Movement (PAM) Party. He was Premier of St. Kitts and Nevis from 21st February 1980, until the twin-island state of St. Kitts and Nevis gained Independence from the United Kingdom on 19th September, 1983. Upon Independence, he became the first Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis and as such has been hailed as "The Father of the Nation". In 2004, he was made a Knight Commander of the Order St. Michael and St. George. In 2015, Sir Kennedy became the fifth person to be named as a National Hero by the National Assembly. He is the first living person to receive this honour.

Start date:
Due date:
% Done:
Estimated time:
from an e-mail from Richard B. <...>:
Hi There, I downloaded your app and had a thought. i was taught that you could never have more than 8 hours sleep credit, ie if you slept for 2 days you would still only have 8 hours sleep credit.is there a way of putting in a limit in your calculations in your program?
Regards richard.
PS excellent app
He later told me that the cap only applies to positive balance and doesn't affect debt. He says this came from flight training course on human performance.
Later he said this:
When I was taught about sleep I was given a few basic bits rules.
- 1 hour sleep = 2 hours credit, i.e. 2 hours of awake time. So after 8 hours sleep you get 16 credits.
- You can earn a maximum of 16 credits.
- If you stay awake more hours than you have credits then you can go into –ve credit, in other words debt. Sleep will first go into repaying the debt before giving you credit.
Updated by Tony Ciavarella over 9 years ago
- Subject changed from add a setting to cap the balance to add sleep credit statistics
Updated by Tony Ciavarella over 9 years ago
- Status changed from New to Closed
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
The time has come to claim victory on this matter.

Virtual TimeClock Support Blog
Error 21: Library Out of Sequence
If you receive an Error 21 while opening or restoring your time clock database, it is an indication that your time clock database has been corrupted. Database corruption is rare, but can sometimes happen during a power outage, network interruption or unexpected computer shutdown when your database is writing, reading, transmitting or storing time clock data. Occasionally this error can be linked to hardware issues on the TimeClock Server computer that are disrupting normal database activity.
Resolving an Error 21
There are several options for resolving the error and getting your time clock up and running again.
Restore a database backup
If you have a backup of your TimeClock database, you can use that backup file to complete a database restore which will fix the problem. You may need to add manual time punches to get your backup database caught up to the current date. For more information, review the Restoring a Backup article.
Contact Technical Support
If you do not have a backup of your database, or if you would like to see if your database can be recovered, contact our Technical Support team for assistance. Some databases are unrecoverable, so we cannot guarantee successful database recovery. If you are enrolled in Premier Support, we will attempt repair at no charge; determine which support plan you have. If you have Standard Support, there will be a $49 support fee to attempt the repair.
Start a new database
If you do not have database backup and recovery is not an option, you will need to start a new database. When you start a new database you will lose your historical timecard data. To start a new database, select New from the Open a company database screen.
It's important to remember that if the database error was caused by faulty computer hardware, you may experience a similar issue in the future. Where possible, we recommend moving your TimeClock to a new computer.

Template:Increation In No Native America, because of higher tempertures, the POD is that the ice bridge that connected Asia to North America melts before humans can settle in the Western Hemisphere. This leads to to two major differances which are discussed in the next part.
Major DifferancesThe first major differance, is pretty obvious, is that they're are no Natives to the Western Hemisphere. The second, less obvious effect, is that all the people (that in OTL are Native Americans) are memebers of the Chukchee tribe, in north-eastern Siberia.
Chukchee CivilizationBecause of the high population, a civilization in the Chukchee homeland is delveloped as early as 250 a.d. A unified monarchy arose around the city-state of Rom Xoht (Great City in Chukchee), in 463 a.d.. This was the Xohtian dynasty. Another city named Ususpner (Garden) rebelled and created the Ususparian Dynasty, in 883 a.d.. This was the golden age of ancient Chukchia, and during this time contact with China was made. Thsrep ( Sky Blue), which was the last of the three main Chukchee cities, created its own dynasty in 1204, the Thrasp Dynasty. However during its brief reign ( it only lasted till 1217) the empire of the Chukchee, which had greatly expanded under the past two dynasties, declined and was very unstablle. It is likley that it would have ended around the 1260 even if the Mongols hadn't invaded.

No nation knows sorrow like the Jewish Nation. No people has suffered like the Jewish People. No god has been slandered and defamed throughout history like the God of the Jews.
Yet not only did the Jews endure; we thrived and prospered. Each time a new enemy arose to cut us down, like a plant pruned for new growth, we blossomed anew. There was suffering; there was sorrow. The "cup" of Jewish tears truly overflows, but we hold fast and firm. Eternal People that we are, we persevere.
Yet this last month in Israel was crushing. In a frenzy of hatred, thirteen-year-old Hallel Ariel was brutally stabbed to death in her bed in Kiryat Arba. Shortly after, in the latest horror in the two-hundred-year old Arab crusade against the Jewish people in the Holy Land, the beloved Mark family from Otniel were gunned down in their car. Both Hallel and Rabbi Mark were added to a long list of Jews killed al Kiddush Hashem.
Rabbi Mark's wife Chavi was hurt badly; two of their ten children were wounded. Chavi survived but has a long haul in front of her. (Please continue to daven for Chava Rachel bat Ayelet Hashachar.) The children are, baruch Hashem, not in danger. Shuki Gilboa, a security man who fought the terrorist that killed Hallel, lost an eye but has finally been released from the hospital.
People learn to deal with tragedy. They live through natural disasters, terrible as they may be. They pick up the pieces as best they can and go on with life. We in Israel are "used to" hatred and violence, but we are not immune. Each additional disaster wreaks havoc anew. We find ourselves shuffling the confusing pieces in the puzzle of life, trying to keep our emunah intact and our belief in an All-Powerful, Benevolent God alive and in good condition. We want to serve Him with love and joy. But who can wholly eliminate the niggling thoughts…? How can God allow this to happen to such wonderful people? Is a child not safe in her bed? Can a family not travel safely on the roads? Are we to forever be a lamb among the wolves? After suffering through the Holocaust, have we not suffered enough? When will we finally sit peacefully, each family under its vine and fig tree? Are we not yet entitled to greet Mashiach? What unsettling thoughts! Yet our Father in Heaven knows that we, His children, are seeking His support and understanding.
Jews are rachmanim bnei rachmanim. We are instinctively merciful – often (and often foolishly!) even to our enemies. When confronted with grief or misfortune, we immediately sigh, empathize and try to mitigate the suffering. Unfortunately, today, when the world seems engulfed in hatred, violence and angst, we have countless opportunities to sympathize. Nonetheless, there is a limit to how much suffering one can carry in one's heart.
This is why I rarely get excited about events in Libya, Turkey, England or Iraq. Or America. Fifty years in Israel have given me enough to think about without trying to solve Uncle Sam's problems. (Is there still an Uncle Sam?) I wish my American friends and relatives well and I pray for the welfare of the United States. That's the most I can do, so I sigh and move on. The bulk of my energies are reserved for problems closer to home.
Nonetheless, this past year, America has filled my mind, my heart and my computer screen. As I follow the unbelievable election news I can only pray that God has some undreamed of surprise up His sleeve, so to speak – that Americans will not be forced to choose between what the media has dubbed "the election between the Clown or the Crook." I mourn for the great ideal and country that America was… and could be.
Then I remember that it is God who controls the hearts and minds of kings. He is directing this show. It leaves me feeling a bit calmer and helps me reach a (sometimes shaky) state of equilibrium.
But even before I can return to my primary concern – Israel and my own people – America is confronted with a new tragedy: Dallas. The previous terror attacks of the past year, Orlando, San Bernardino, and all the rest had filled me with compassion and concern, but Dallas and the resultant turmoil, furor and pain made me shudder. Will this nightmare never end? Will the great United States of America splinter into racial "tribes" like the Middle East? Will the killing never stop? Will peace never come? Even though my "primary concern" is for Am Yisrael, all people are created in the image of God and the Jewish vision for the future includes all of God's children. Their suffering makes me suffer as well. So where does all this leave us?
With a challenge, a battle and a job. A challenge to believe even when we don't understand. A battle to improve, even when our tools and abilities are limited. A job that is never finished.
It begins in our homes, hearts and minds. To be the best people we can be, the best Jews we can be. To learn God's Torah. To perform His mitzvot with love and care. To be honest and kind. To be shining lights of Torah and kedusha wherever we go – whether in our homes or on our way to work. When jogging around the neighborhood or sitting in a meeting or picking up a carton of milk at the local 24/7.
The only way most of us can counteract the all-engulfing evil around us is to fill the world with Godliness, Goodness and Prayer. Prayer for a world gone astray. And if you really want your prayers and input to have power, try sending them through the Main Gate to God's throne… the Land of Israel.

ChristopherI have a lot of tutoring experience in science and math. Through this, I've developed the ability to make difficult subjects easier to understand and engaging. I've always enjoyed math and been successful in it. As a result, I spent 25 years informally helping fellow students, friends, and family in math and science topics. As an undergraduate, I was a straight A student in math and was able to be a member of the math honor society. It's a joy for me to train students in science and math topics, but it doesn't matter if it's calculus, physics, or basic operations like addition. I've tutored many students who find math or science to be too difficult, and helped them turn around their grades and build a good understanding of these topics. In addition, I make it a priority to be flexible to your scheduling needs.

European Athletics have recognised a young British official at the prestigious Women's Leadership Awards held in Tallinn, Estonia.
Melissa Robertson, a level 2b Starters Assistant on the UK Athletics officials pathway and member of Nithsdale Athletics Club, was awarded one of three European Athletics Scholarships for Future Women's Leadership at the event last month after being identified by British Athletics as a future leader within the sport.
The acknowledgment allows Melissa to join fellow winners Yana Kasova of Bulgaria and Nanna Brandt of Denmark on a training programme to be delivered in 2014 focussed on leadership development.
Melissa said: "I am honoured to have been selected for this opportunity and I believe it will greatly benefit me in my development to potentially be a future leader in the sport. I was selected as a young woman they believe has the potential which is a great honour ".
The scholarship follows Melissa's attendance at the Women in World Athletics seminar (WIWA) in April 2013, to which she credits her recent accolade. The four-day seminar is in line with European Athletics' work in the area of Women's Leadership and aims to prepare females already working within the sport for higher level leadership roles in the lead up to the IAAF World Athletics Championships in 2017.
Cherry Alexander MBE, British Athletics Major Events Director said: "In the first year of WIWA, it is great to see that it has already created a momentum for women's leadership roles. WIWA will be held over the next five years and we will work to identify additional volunteers who wish to take the next step along the pathway and UKA will help them all the way".
It was the UKA 2010 Young Official of the Year's catalogue of involvement within the sport which was recognised by European Athletics as they focus on celebrating the important contributions made by women throughout Europe to track and field.
Melissa took a leading role during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games as a Starter's Assistant; one of 42 athletics officials and volunteers from Scottish Athletics. She added to her knowledge and experience by acting as Assistant Call Room Manager at the European Athletics Team Championships in Gateshead earlier this year. In addition, she sits on the Scottish Athletics Youth Advisory Group which directs its focus on recruiting young athletes, coaches and officials into the sport of athletics.
The night featured a further 24 winners identified by their respective national federations as "significant contributors" to the sport for their work and accomplishments.
European Athletics Council member Dr Sylvia Barlag (NED) who headed the awards process, said: "These awards and the scholarships are the centrepieces of our strategy to promote the women leaders we need in athletics."

After another 4 years of study, Dr. Arnone received his Diplomate Degree from the American Board of Chiropractic Internists (DABCI) through Parker University. He is a Board-Certified Chiropractic Internist.
Dr. Arnone has owned and directed the Balanced Body Center in Matthews, NC since 1994 and holds one of the finest reputations in the Charlotte area. As one of the largest and most respected clinics in the greater Charlotte area, many medical professionals--orthopedists, dentists, and podiatrists alike--refer their most difficult cases to Dr. Arnone.
While there are many effective chiropractic techniques, Dr. Arnone has adopted what he believes to be the best and safest of these methods. The Balanced Body Center is one of only 300 clinics in the country where the doctors are trained in the NUCCA upper cervical technique. In addition to upper cervical care, Dr. Arnone performs gentle, full spine and extremity adjustments in order to improve symptoms quickly and correct structural problems.
Recognizing that each patient's condition is unique and often multi-faceted, Dr. Arnone's clinic also has physical therapists, exercise therapists, nurses, and massage therapists on staff to help fully meet the needs of each patient. As a Doctor of Chiropractic and Board-Certified Chiropractic Internist, Dr. Arnone has created a health center dedicated to helping patients discover natural solutions to many diverse health conditions. The Balanced Body Center is a full diagnostic and treatment facility including:
- Digital laser-aligned x-rays
- State-of-the-art chiropractic techniques
- Decompression therapy

Recently, Dr. Arnone has also introduced a technology from Germany to the United States--the ExMI Pelvic Floor Therapy Chair. This therapy uses non-surgical, non-invasive technology to strengthen pelvic floor muscles. Several patients have turned to this method as a successful treatment for incontinence.
While most of his time is spent caring for patients, Dr. Arnone also gives lectures educating both organizations and physicians alike on the mechanisms and treatments available through natural medicine. Every year he brings together medical physicians, chiropractic physicians, naturopathic physicians, and other health care professionals in an annual symposium dedicated to the advancement of natural medicine.

Dr. Derek S. Farmen, BS, DC, CFMP
Dr. Derek Farmen acquired a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Health Science with concentrations in Kinesiology and Physical Therapy from the University of Wisconsin - Parkside with a level 300-400 course GPA of 3.9. During his studies, he also achieved certification in the Functional Movement System (FMS) to screen for movement dysfunctions. He is certified by the USA Olympic Weight-Lifting Committee to teach and instruct Olympic weight-lifting and he became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Dr. Farmen considered many different medical professions; however, after suffering a low back injury that was resolved with chiropractic care and functional medicine, he decided to dedicate his life to the profession.
Dr. Farmen graduated Cum Laude with a Doctorate in Chiropractic from the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he focused on developing skills in several techniques that are both safe and effective in correcting spinal dysfunction. He became certified in Grostic Upper Cervical Technique, Orthospinology level 1, and attended classes for many other chiropractic techniques (including NUCCA) in order to combine what he feels is the safest and most effective combination of techniques to restore proper spinal balance. He now utilizes a combination of NUCCA upper cervical technique, Thompson (non-rotational, drop table) technique for gentle full spine adjusting, Cox flexion/Distraction, and Pettibon rehabilitation for postural re-training to provide the best care possible for his patients.
Realizing that patients often present with more than just back pain, Dr. Farmen continued his education to become a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner through the University of Functional Medicine and has also completed over 300 hours of internal medicine education in his current pursuit of acquiring a Diplomate Degree from the American Board of Chiropractic Internists (DABCI). Dr. Farmen is also striving to earn the Diplomate Degree from the American Clinical Board of Nutrition (DACBN) in order to coach patients about living healthier lifestyles based on their individual conditions. It is this whole-body approach that led Dr. Farmen to the Balanced Body Center, where he utilizes the clinic's full diagnostic and treatment strategies, including:
- Digital laser-aligned x-rays
- State-of-the-art chiropractic techniques
- Decompression therapy
- Physical therapy
- Massage therapy
- Advanced laser therapy
- Bone density testing
- Vascular ultrasounds
- Electrocardiograms
- Computerized lung functions
- Blood chemistry studies
- Delayed food sensitivity tests
- Amino acid testing
- Gastrointestinal function testing
- Neurotransmitter testing
- Male & female hormone testing
- Environmental toxicity testing
- Heavy metal toxicity testing
- Genomic testing
- Orthomolecular/nutraceutical therapies

Nominee for Palmer Clinical Excellence Award - 2017
In 2017, Dr. Farmen was a finalist for the Palmer Clinical Excellence Award, which is given to "a graduating doctor who provides outstanding service to patients, the College and the chiropractic profession. Clinic faculty nominate students. Award criteria are quality of patient care, leadership potential, knowledge, skills and service."

I hope he's still teaching, and still reading great poems to his students. And I hope they're listening.
Same in Blues
By Langston Hughes
I said to my baby,
Baby, take it slow.
I can't, she said, I can't!
I got to go!
There's a certain
amount of traveling
in a dream deferred.
Lulu said to Leonard,
I want a diamond ring.
Leonard said to Lulu,
You won't get a goddamn thing!
A certain
amount of nothing
in a dream deferred.
Daddy, daddy, daddy,
All I want is you.
You can have me baby—
but my lovin' days is through.
A certain
amount of impotence
in a dream deferred.
Three parties
On my party line—
But that third party,
Lord, ain't mine!
There's liable
to be confusion
in a dream deferred.
From river to river,
Uptown and down,
There's liable to be confusion
when a dream gets kicked around.
For more Tuesday poetry fun, check out today's featured poem at The Writer's Almanac, "Un Bel Di" by Gerald Locklin. It made me freakin' teary eyed earlier. I think I'm a little homesick. But then again, what doesn't make me teary eyed?

Consider this: someone is accused of murder, and 60 other people step forward, offering as a defense of the accused that they themselves weren't murdered by this person.
Does that sound absurd?
How about if someone is accused of sexual harassment or assault? Because that's what's playing out in the accusation—now three accusations—against Tom Brokaw. After one woman spoke up, 60… 65… (and perhaps still counting) women have publicly and collectively vouched for Brokaw's "decency and integrity."
The rationale seems to be that if he didn't harass them, he couldn't have harassed the other women. And in the court of public opinion, the fact that there are more women whom Brokaw hasn't allegedly harassed than there are women whom he has allegedly harassed, well, it's all the more proof that he couldn't have harassed anyone. Ever.
And this standard seems to be unique to sexual harassment and assault claims. Think about it: when someone is accused of arson, do their defenders point to all the buildings that person hasn't burned down as evidence that they couldn't have burned down the building in question? Or, in a more pointed case, when Wells Fargo was accused of opening over 2 million accounts in customers' names without the knowledge or consent of those customers, was the fact that other clients didn't have accounts opened fraudulently on their behalf considered proof that no crime had been committed?
A different twist on this "proof is outside the pudding" logic, there was the defense of Sean Spicer's treatment of journalist April Ryan: apparently, since Spicer was rude to lots of people, that was evidence that he wasn't racist or sexist.
What the Brokaw and Spicer situations have in common is the perceived insufficiency of not just the claims made against them, but who made them: women, and in Ryan's case, a woman of color. The idea being that they are inherently untrustworthy because, you know, they're prone to "playing the [insert identity] card," possibly hysterical and have "an agenda" that could irreparably damage the good names of the professionals whose "decency and integrity" we can all rely on without a petition.
Now, you're thinking: don't forget that those are 65 women who've spoken up in Brokaw's defense. Yup. Like all people, they each get to make up their own minds about what and whom they believe. It's just that whether or not we believe them depends on the side they pick.

William G. Buxton, MD
Director, Neuromuscular & Neurodiagnostic Medicine, and Fall Prevention, Brain Health Center; Adult Neurology
Awards and Accomplishments
William G. Buxton MD, FANA, FAANEM is board certified in Adult Neurology with Subspecialty Certification in Clinical Neurophysiology through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology with additional certification in Electrodiagnostic Medicine through the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine. He serves as Director of Neuromuscular and Neurodiagnostic Medicine and of Fall Prevention at Pacific Neuroscience Institute and has been recognized as a fellow of both the American Neurologic Association and the American Academy of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
Dr. William G. Buxton's interests in neurosciences and neuromuscular medicine span nearly 30 years, beginning with research in muscle responses to strain and stress as an undergraduate at UCLA, where he graduated with a BS in Biochemistry and honors including Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and Departmental Honors. At UCLA Medical School, he received the Richard Walter Award for outstanding performance in the neurology clerkship. He completed his internship in Internal Medicine and residency in Neurology at UCLA and then a combined UCLA and Cedars-Sinai fellowship in Clinical Neurophysiology.
Upon completing his training in 2002, Dr. Buxton was invited to join the UCLA faculty and was one of three founders of UCLA – Santa Monica Neurological Associates. From 2003 to 2018, he served as Medical Director of the Neurodiagnostics Lab at UCLA – Santa Monica Medical Center. From 2015 to 2018, Dr. Buxton served as quality officer at the UCLA Department of Neurology and in that role developed streamlined methods to optimize safety in outpatient settings, especially related to fall prevention among neurology outpatients. His interventions, which he has presented at multiple national and international meetings, have reduced falls and, through work with his PNI colleague, Dr. Verna Porter, have even trended toward fewer falls among individuals with dementia, a population in which fall prevention efforts had previously been viewed as impractical. These experiences have instilled a strong commitment to quality, evidence-based, compassionate care in neurology, especially in the outpatient setting.
Dr. Buxton also has interests in neuropathies, especially those secondary to autoimmune disorders and other systemic processes, as well as the clinical interfaces between neurology, rheumatology and orthopedics and has presented work on these and related subjects at international meetings and continuing education courses through UCLA School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School. An active and experienced neuro-diagnostician, Dr. Buxton's practice is well established in electromyography, evoked potentials, and now neuromuscular ultrasound, as well as in electroencephalography. He has been recognized by the Super Doctors, Los Angeles Magazine Top Doctors, and Marquis Who's Who programs.
Along with his colleagues at Pacific Neuroscience Institute, Dr. Buxton is honored to care for patients with complex nerve and muscle disorders, exploring novel diagnostic and therapeutic options in autoimmune neuromuscular disorders and developing new means to optimize neuro-diagnostic testing through combinations of more traditional EMG/NCS testing and newer ultrasound techniques. He is especially enjoys working in PNI's unique interdisciplinary team to identify and address fall risk among patients with the broad range of disorders treated at PNI.
Dr. Buxton continues teaching trainees at UCLA as a voluntary Health Sciences Associate Professor and is pleased to be back professionally in Santa Monica, the community he and his family are proud to call home and where he is an active participant in many community service programs.
