Offit Kurman Family Law Attorney Marjorie Just Testifies Before MD Judiciary Committee
On Friday, February 27, 2015, I traveled to Annapolis, Maryland, to the Lowe House Office Building to testify before the Judiciary Committee of the Maryland House of Delegates. I testified concerning a bill to clarify jurisdiction over peace orders and civil protection orders. The bill, if passed, would add to the peace order and civil protection order statutes a sentence stating that the Courts have subject matter jurisdiction over a case as long as the petitioner is a resident of Maryland, even if the respondent lives out of state and regardless of where the violence occurred. The purpose is to make clear that these statutes are intended to protect Maryland residents where they live. The bill came about as a result of a case in which our client, a Maryland resident, filed for, and obtained, a Maryland peace order against a defendant who had been violent toward her in an incident that occurred outside Maryland. When the defendant violated the peace order by continuing to contact her, we pursued penalties against him for contempt of the peace order. At the trial court level we were successful, but the defendant appealed the order to the Circuit Court, claiming that the court did not have jurisdiction over him because he was not a Maryland resident, and the violence had occurred outside the state. At the trial level the District Court judge found that a Maryland-resident petitioner created jurisdiction to hear the case, but the Circuit Court disagreed, overturning the trial court's ruling and dismissing the case. It was an interesting afternoon of bills being presented to the Judiciary Committee. All were bills concerning either juvenile justice or domestic violence. On the subject of domestic violence, there were bills to: (a) specifically include electronic communications and monitoring within the definition of harassment and stalking, (b) expand the definition of a "person eligible for relief" in the civil protection order statute to include people in a dating relationship, and (c) add harassment to the bases for relief under the civil protection order statute. All, including our jurisdiction bill, would be helpful improvements for those in abusive relationships seeking protection from the Courts. When we went before the Judiciary Committee, there were five speakers on our panel. Delegate Vanessa Atterbeary, a freshman delegate from Howard County, introduced the bill. It was her first sponsorship of a bill in her first Legislative session. After Delegate Atterbeary spoke of the need to clarify jurisdiction, my client told her moving story of an abusive dating relationship, and her attempts to escape it and end all contact with her abuser, which were frustrated by the vagueness in the peace order statute concerning jurisdiction. I then testified, describing the procedural history of the case through the Courts. After I spoke, representatives from the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence spoke about the need for women to be able to obtain protection from the Courts where they live. They also noted the need for this bill in this particular geographic area, where people are crossing state lines on a daily basis to and from the District of Columbia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, etc. It was an exciting experience, and we are hopeful the bill will receive a favorable report from the Judiciary Committee so that it can move to a floor vote from the House.

Basketball Halftime Games
Mike Watson Images/moodboard/Getty Images
For 15 minutes in the middle of a basketball game there used to be a period of quiet on the court in which spectators rushed to the restrooms, crowded concession stands or simply got up to stretch their legs and prepared for the second half. However, halftime has since become more than that. Schools, universities and professional sports venues now fill that time with interactive entertainment and games for the viewing audience.
Beat the Clock

This basketball halftime game involves choosing a spectator at random who must beat the clock to win prizes. The shooter tries to make four baskets in 30 seconds. The four baskets must be a free throw, a lay up, a three-point shot and a half-court shot. Those who have some level of shooting ability can quickly get through the first half of the contest but may struggle with the three-pointer. Those who make the three-point shot must then contend with Lady Luck to heave a long ball from a distance.
Twist Contest

The twist contest is a humorous way to get the crowd energized at halftime. The mascot goes into the crowd and selects random fans. The fans compete in a twist dance contest in an attempt to win over the crowd. Crowd applause judges each contestant. The crowd applauds the loudest for the best twister who then receives some kind of prize, such as gift certificates or even a free foam finger to cheer on the team.
Dueling Free Throws
Two people compete in this halftime basketball game by shooting at the same goal. One fan represents each half of the crowd, giving everyone someone to cheer for. Both players stand side by side on the same free-throw line and try to sink as many baskets as possible before one minute expires on the clock. As the crowd cheers, the contestants shoot, rebound and find ways to sabotage the other to gain the most points by the time the buzzer sounds.
Shoe Scramble

This halftime game allows several people to get involved in between basketball halfs. Ten contestants from the crowd gather in the center of the court where they each take off their shoes and place them in a bag. The contestants turn their backs and walk to the baseline. The game officials scatter the shoes all over the basketball court. The contestants rush around the court to find their shoes and then run to the bench to put them on. The first person to get his own shoes on wins a prize.

'Chiu on This' is a short and regular opinion blast
One of the strange things I've found about the CS:GO community is that they can stalk the number of hours a player has on CS:GO for any particular week. This means that if a pro isn't putting in the time and they don't do well, they get angry about the lack of downtime. The first time I saw this phenomenon was in the early days of StarCraft 2 with Incontrol. There were massive threads flaming Incontrol for saying he played some console game or different video game.
There are two aspects to this. Some fans think that it is unfair that a pro player isn't ruining his entire life getting better at a game. It comes off as either jealousy or spite. "How dare this person take a break when I take a 9-to-5?" or whatever it is. The job of a pro is incredibly different from a layman's job and in terms of intensity and pressure it's incredibly high. For that reason I won't bother addressing this anymore.
The other reason I can think of is a misunderstanding of hard work. An argument that often comes up is hard work vs. talent and which wins out. In reality, it is rarely the case that you have either extreme. It's a mix. At the highest level, you can put in an intense amount of hard work, but that will not mean you can become better than the person you are trying to beat. Life and TaeJa from SC2 were known for being some of the biggest slackers in that game. They ended up being two of the greatest to ever touch it and transcended it. What I can say is that hard work is generally better than no work, but this doesn't take into account of how the brain works.
Generally, the best way to improve at a discipline is to study/practice a lot. Then you take a break doing something else. It could be exercise or a hobby or whatever. The point of this is that the brain needs downtime to process everything you are trying to put into it on a subconscious level. You can't just force it into your brain for most people.
I generally don't talk about the psychology of players, but it's important to mention in this case. There were a few players in SC2 who did do this. They went insane practicing around 12-15 hours a day for multiple years. Snute, a player I rate as the third best foreigner of all time in that game, did this. Despite that great praise, if you asked me why he never won a big one, it has nothing to do with his skill. It was purely psychological because he had practiced so much more even relative to many Korean players that when it came to the big moment he fell to the pressure in his mind.
When a player is in a slump, it isn't as easy as putting in an insane amount of hours. Sometimes it might be better to take a break from the game and come back fresh. The entire practice of getting better is complicated. SmithZz was bad at the end of his time in G2, but all of the stories I heard said he was practicing an intense amount. These are some things to think about when looking at how top players practice.

As a follow up to the Peace IV tendering and consortium building sessions you can find the Peace IV opportunities for Belfast presentation here.
The EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation is a unique structural funds programme aimed at reinforcing progress towards a peaceful and stable society in Northern Ireland and the Border Region of Ireland.
The PEACE IV Programme will provide support to projects that contribute towards the promotion of greater levels of peace and reconciliation. The Programme will also place a strong emphasis on promoting cross community relations and understanding to create a more cohesive society.
BCC has developed a draft local action plan (Belfast Peace IV Plan) which focuses on three priority themes:
• children and young people
• shared spaces and services
• building positive relations
BCC has consulted on their proposed PEACE IV plan for the city and based on the outcome of this they have submitted a PEACE IV Local Action Plan bid for funding under the PEACE IV Programme.
If the application is successful and BCC receives funding from SEUPB, the PEACE IV Programme will present many opportunities for people across the city to contribute to peace and reconciliation.
The city's residents will have the opportunity to participate in projects, engage in addressing local issues and become involved in the networks and forums established through the specific projects.
There may also be a number of tender opportunities for local organisations and community and voluntary sector groups submit a bid, in line with PEACE IV requirements and regulations.

The economy is almost experiencing four-percent growth despite economists saying that it would be lower!
A year ago even Fox Business was expressing skepticism that we could attain four-percent growth in the economy. Grover Norquist was one of the few who thought the President could do it.
What a difference a year of Donald Trump makes! The Gross Domestic Product is nearing four-percent grown, surpassing what many experts were predicting! The rate of growth has almost doubled since the first quarter!
CNBC reports, "Trump's forecast of 4% GDP growth close to coming true as Americans spend tax-bill proceeds."
The economy in the second quarter is tracking close to 4 percent growth — a level President Donald Trump raved about last December, just before the tax bill was approved. At the same time, he had also told reporters he was holding out for a doubling of growth to 6 percent.
For now, his 4 percent forecast is close to coming true on a quarterly basis, after strong retail sales data pushed up tracking GDP growth for the second quarter to about double the first quarter's level. The economy grew by 2.2 percent in the first quarter.
CNBC/Moody's Analytics Rapid GDP Update reported economists' estimates of tracking GDP show average growth at 3.8 percent, following Thursday's retail sales report. Their actual forecasts, which take into account economic reports yet to be released, is running at an average 3.6 percent.
Retail sales in May were up 0.8 percent, double what some economists expected. Without autos, sales were up 0.9 percent.
"On the heels of this data we now estimate real GDP is expanding at a 4.0% annual rate in Q2, up from our prior estimate of 2.75% and almost twice the 2.2% growth rate experienced in Q1," wrote JP Morgan chief U.S. economist Michael Feroli. If the economy hits that growth rate, it would be the best since the third quarter of 2014.[…]
White House economic advisors last fall had expected just the corporate tax cuts to send growth to 3 percent to 5 percent annual pace within three years, and they could be hitting the low end of the range this year. In December, Trump was even more optimistic: "So we're at 3.3 percent GDP. I see no reason why we don't go to 4 percent, 5 percent, and even 6 percent," […].

Mongolian archeologists use advanced mapping technology to discover archeological sites for the first time in Mongolia
For more information please contact:
Ganzorig Tsend
Cell: 9908-5617
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (ot.mn) – As part of the Oyu Tolgoi Cultural Heritage programme, a team of Mongolian and international scientific experts, used GSI archeological predictive models, a powerful mapping technology, to help discover the location of new archeological sites in the Omnogovi aimag. These are the first models to be developed and implemented in Mongolia, and have already led to the discovery of 2000 new archeological sites covering a 150 thousand square km area in the South Gobi region.
"These predictive models were key for our short term project to discover new archeological sites in the South Gobi region, enabling us to work with efficiency and speed:" said Dr. Ch. Amartuvshin, head of Salvage Research Department of Mongolian Academy of Sciences, who leads the tangible heritage team of the Oyu Tolgoi Cultural Heritage programme.
"There was a need to develop a general mapping exercise on tangible cultural heritage sites in South Gobi aimag:" Amartuvshin continued. "This was the perfect opportunity for Mongolian archeologists to combine their experience of working in Gobi region with the latest technology and equipment."
The team developed models covering a 150 thousand square km area of Omnogobi aimag and determined areas with high, medium and low probability of containing archeological resources and conducted field work to confirm these probabilities. During field work, the team discovered the impressive shrine of khirgisuur and square burial site dating back to the Bronze age, which are rare finds in Gobi region. The new artifacts show migration pattern of ancient nomadic tribes in Mongolian territory.
The Mongolian International Heritage Team (MIHT) is part of the Oyu Tolgoi Cultural Heritage programme, a 1.3bn MNT (US$1.1m) investment designed to develop an integrated approach to the preservation and management of cultural heritage for Omnogovi aimag. The MIHT is comprised of scientific experts from Sustainability East Asia LLC, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Archeology, Statistical Research Inc and the University of Arizona.

A new report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows how unprecedented land exploitation, including farming and forestry, is contributing to climate change, says report co-author and leading expert from The Australian National University (ANU).
The report also notes land potentially offers solutions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including reforestation and storing carbon in soil.
Professor Mark Howden, Director of the ANU Climate Change Institute and an IPCC Vice Chair, is in Geneva for the release of the new report on the relationship between land use and climate change.
"Climate change is rapidly ramping up existing threats to the land, reducing its ability to feed and support populations around the world and impacting on ecosystems," Professor Howden said.
"At the same time, the land sector is currently contributing to climate change, even as it potentially offers some of the solutions to reducing greenhouse gases.
"This report confirms the world has a double-edged sword hanging over its head.
"We ignore the interactions between climate change and the land at our peril.
"If left unchecked, the current situation threatens to make climate change worse, and leave the world hungry and with increasingly damaged ecosystems."
Professor Howden noted land use and the global food system produce 29 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Land-based ecosystems also absorb 22 per cent of GHG emissions.
"With the right management, there is potential to reduce the land sector's GHG emissions and increase the land's carbon sinks," Professor Howden said.
"But the land sector alone cannot address climate change. Reducing our fossil fuel emissions remains absolutely vital."
Professor Howden said integrating land management and climate change policy was also crucial.
"Better land management not only delivers win-wins for farmers, communities, governments and biodiversity but also helps address climate change," he said.
"The IPCC's latest report highlights yet again that climate change is not some distant future threat - it's relevant to all of us now and it is in our own interests to address it urgently.
"Improving our management of the land and tackling climate change the same time will bring multiple economic, health and environmental benefits."

Kidney function tests
This is an important test that can be used to investigate kidney and liver diseases.
About Kidney function tests
What is the kidney function test?
The kidney function test is a comprehensive test of both kidney and liver function. The kidneys filter the blood, remove waste and regulate fluid balance, whilst the liver metabolises fats, carbohydrates, proteins, ammonia, produces cholesterol and processes bilirubin. The waste products of liver metabolism are transported to the kidneys before being excreted in the urine. Normal kidney and liver function can be measured by looking at biological markers such as creatinine, a waste product that must be filtered and excreted by the kidneys and bilirubin, a substance processed by the liver.
Why take this test?
This test measures the level of proteins and substances in the blood related to kidney and liver function. It can be used to investigate kidney and liver diseases.

Why Private Domain Registration is a good thing.
The reason I brought up this subject is just because of the fact that most people who start their very first web blog or website, as they are sometimes referenced as, they all depend on a web hosting company to keep their files and provide incentives to promote their site and even earn money using ads and such. The sad thing is, however, whenever anyone decides to start a blog or personal home page as they used to be called, there are search companies that like to be helpful but often are hurtful, by providing search engine results about the site owner's PID - aka, personal identifiable information, which is only good for hackers and identity thieves.
Whois is an organization that lets you look up a website to find out who they is, or rather who they are, where they live and their telephone number or contact information. This is good for business in some ways but bad for people who just want to have a website so they can put their ideas and thoughts out there on the world wide web to get some attention, feedback and support by sharing their own personal take on things. The fact is, most people who are starting off with a brand new website or personal blog, just don't have a clue about Whois, and don't even understand what a Private Domain is or how to even register their site as a private domain to get protection that is only around a dollar a month to get protected with their domain hosting service.

Barcelona's famed opera-house, the Liceu, has had to raise prices for its performances in the face of financing cuts (read article in Castilian here, El Periodico). The Liceu has seen its funding reduced from the Generalitat (15 percent) and the Spanish Culture Ministry (10 percent), as well as Barcelona City Council and the Diputació of Barcelona, which will adapt their contributions of 10 and five percent of the institution's budget. The director general of the Liceu, Joan Francesc Marco, yesterday announced a series of measures to deal with these cuts, some of which will be felt by the public. Firstly, the ticket-price for the most popular events will be increased by 10 percent, and secondly, the start of the season will be pushed back to October, a month later than usual. The upcoming 2011-12 season will have 13 operatic performances and two recitals less than normal, although there will be more concerts and ballet recitals.
A researcher from the Catalan History Circle, Eva Sans, has found proof showing that in the 15th century the royal town of Pals on the Costa Brava had an important port, a finding that has added fuel to the debate about the launch point for one of Christopher Columbus's trips to the new world as well as his possible Catalan nationality (read article in Castilian here, La Vanguardia). The official history of Columbus's first trip to what became known as the Americas says that he left from Palos de la Frontera in Andalucia, but the latest finding suggests that he actually left from the Catalan town in the Empordà. The proof discovered by Sans is an official document in the archive of the Aragonese crown from 1406 saying that naval operations were launched from Pals. The finding lends credence to theories posited by historians including Jordi Bilbeny and Teresa Baquer regarding the Catalan roots of Columbus based on the existence of a noble from here called Joan-Cristofor Colom i Bertran who, according to documents found by the investigators, carried out expeditions on behalf of King Ferdinand the Catholic and the Crown of Aragon, with three boats from the port of Pals; Bilbeny first put forward this theory in 1990.
The tweets of the council of Catalan town Vilassar de Mar are in the running for a Shorty Award, for which they will be competing with the tweets of US President Barack Obama, amongst others (read article in Catalan here, Avui). This is the third year that these international prizes have been given to those who are part of the Twitter community and Vilassar de Mar's council has been nominated in the Government category by users of the system. The Shortys recognise the work of individuals, organisations and institutions on the social network and includes 30 categories. The other nominees in the Government category are the analyst John Moore, the mayor of Newark Cory Brooker, congress member for Virginia Eric Cantor and the Briton Lord Credo, as well as Obama. This is the first time that a European finalist has been in this category and was the third most voted-for by the public, putting Vilassar ahead of more well-known options such as Sarah Palin, Arnold Schwarzenegger and NASA. The councillor for communication in the town, Laureà Foch, said that the council had made an active choice to promote and use new technologies and put them at the service of local residents; Foch said that they had been pioneers in using Twitter and Facebook, and that other councils were now following their lead. The winner of the Shortys will be announced on March 28th in a ceremony in New York.

Most countries have a form of retirement plan or structure that gives employees a tax incentive to save for their retirement. This usually takes the form of tax concessions, contribution matching for low income earners, or even being tax free all together. Over time, the power of compound interest works to produce a sizeable nest egg which can then be drawn down to fund your retirement in your later years.
In Australia, we have a mandatory retirement scheme called Superannuation. Super is similar to a 401K scheme, Roth, Roth IRA or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), but there are one or two critical differences. The superannuation portfolio or account itself is essentially a tax sheltered stock portfolio. This was designed to reduce the reliance on social security and the aged pension, and put the onus on the individual to look after their retirement.
Under Superannuation according to the ATO if you earn more than $450 a month your employer must generally contribute a minimum of 9.5% of your wages into your superannuation portfolio – but they can contribute more. This is usually called the employer contribution.
You can also concessionally contribute or salary sacrifice your own before tax dollars up to $25K per year, or make a non-concessional (using after tax money) into the fund too (I think up to $100K per year). Not all super funds are the same, and inside your super there can be different 'parcels' of funds with different names – but most funds have the following three general accounts;
- Employer Benefit – Paid by the employer
- Employee Benefit – Extra contributed by you
- Ancillary Benefit – Super rolled over from previous funds
Sometimes they all go into the same one account, but beware that the different methods of contribution can sometime have different benefits attached to each contribution. Also, TPI and life insurance could be billed out of one section and not the other – You should check specifically how your retirement savings are invested!
Your Retirement accounts build up during your 'working career', and then when you retire you can usually elect to either take it as a lump sum amount (which a lot of people do to pay off their house or any other debt they may have) or you might otherwise have the option to take it as a (hopefully indexed) pension. So whats the catch? You can only access the funds when you hit your preservation age…
Preservation age
Contribution match
Some superannuation packages for low income earners feature contribution matching by the federal government; that is, if you are on a low income stream, you might quality for contribution matching. This means for every dollar that you contribute to your super, the government will contribute an extra dollar, helping boost your total retirement benefit.
Defined benefit fund
There is a special subset of superannuation packages called defined benefit funds, which allow their members to access their super at a set age regardless of when they were born. Defined benefit funds work a little differently to regular super, and are actually more like a guarantee or life insurance scheme as opposed to a portfolio that is directly invested in the stock market.
Defined benefit funds are actually some of the best retirement plans out there, and many have been created for government workers (by government workers…). Infact, everyone has cottoned on as to how good they are and now due to financial pressures the Aussie government is reigning in on them – there are pretty much no defined benefit funds left that you can join (unless you were already signed up as part of one previously).
Two Tier retirement for FI
So in general, this means when most of us turn 60 the government deems we have officially hit retirement and grants us access to our retirement nest egg. Little do they know that FIRE retirees have been living it up retired for the past 30 years somehow! Although you can't generally access it before your preservation age, super helps FIRE retirees a different way.
As long as your FI portfolio can last you between early retirement and preservation age, you can draw down on it until you can access your Super. And all the while, your super is growing in its tax sheltered haven. Whilst you work investing and building up your FI portfolio, your employer is still investing into your super. Other than the mandatory 5% post tax contribution you have to make, any cash you've stashed in it along the way was only charged at 15% tax rather than the much higher marginal rate. This is called concessional contributions and in Australia, this is currently capped at $15,000 per year for individuals.
Of course there are ways for dodgy employers to get around having to paying super, such as hiring you as a contractor by making you get your own ABN (Australian Business Number). Some other companies blatantly refuse and break the law, hoping no one finds out, but they usually end up in court or in jail and have to pay out damages.
My Super
Personally, although I don't make as much money as some of my colleagues flying for private jets or various airlines. Overall though, I have pretty good benefits which includes above industry superannuation contributions, as well as generous travel and overnight allowances. Although I have less control over my Super (I can't pick where it is invested and my fund has fairly high management fees), the higher employer contribution outweighs the drag penalty of the fees. My Retirement investment account is essentially at the discretion of the company – but if I had my way I would simply make it mirror my FI portfolio and hold good quality, diversified and rock bottom price stock market index fund ETF and LICs.
In addition to the company paying their contribution towards my super, I had contributed a lot of concessional and non concessional contributions for many years. As mentioned before, any additional contributions I want to stash in here are only charged at 15% when they go into super, as opposed to being taxed at my current marginal rate.
After 13 years in the workforce I currently have around $500K in super. I used to salary sacrifice additional contributions up to my concessional cap ($25,000 per year), plus about $7K of non-concessional contributions. I used to think contributing to superannuation (401K) was a good thing, and I would try max out my contributions without starving.
For someone happy to work that 8-5 grind until they are in their sixties, and who wants to save a bit of tax, it probably is a good idea if they want to be more comfortable in retirement (if they didn't work themselves into an early grave first!). I realised though, that I was going to reach FIRE and retire early, that I was going to need that money sooner.
So rather than contributing to my superannuation or any other tax sheltered retirement accounts, I just decided to build up my FIRE portfolio outside of superannuation. Whilst it wasn't going to be as tax effective as superannuation, I could make up for this by being very mindful about spending and really paring down my cost of living. Then I just direct this torrent of savings into ETFs and LICs. I'm now regularly hitting my goal of an 80%+ savings rate, and sometimes manage to get close to 85% when I crunch the numbers in my monthly reviews.
Other tax effective structures
I didn't have enough invested at the start to really warrant starting a discretionary trust structure, however now since the income from the FI portfolio is starting to push me into the higher tax brackets, it is now worthwhile. By using a discretionary family trust, I can allocate the tax burden of the FI portfolio by distributing income to members of my family on lower tax brackets than me.
This tax saving more than covers the administrative burden of the trust. Whilst I'm not exactly getting the same low flat 15% taxation rate I would in Super, its still better than nothing, and I can control the trust meaning I can direct its distributions to me when I retire.
If you compare this 15% to the marginal tax scales above you can see that someone with an income of $37,000 is paying a total tax rate of approximately 9.6%, and any income distributed to them to take them over the $37,000 bracket would be charged at 32.5%, rather than the 37% or 45% you may be getting charged at the higher tiers.
If you can distribute to a family member not earning an income such as a non working spouse or stay at home kids (over 18) studying at college, then they will potentially pay zero tax on distributions up to $18,200, so it is very effective.
Income tax sheltered retirement accounts can be a very effective way to grow your retirement nest egg, but they can have some serious draw backs about when you can actually access your money. Complicating things further is potential legislative change which might see the preservation age continually creep upwards as we see a global ageing population and a greater strain on social security, healthcare and the aged pension.
What are your thoughts on tax sheltered retirement accounts? Do you have Superannuation or use a 401K account? If so, do you max it out with concessional contributions? Let us know below.

Hello, someone originally set up my WordPress site a couple years ago and I have since lost his contact. I am trying to update a few things and I can't seem to locate the home page on my website. It's not listed under Pages or Posts, and I don't see it on the WordPress home dashboard. Does anyone know where it could be hiding? I see the homepage fine on the live site, but I can't find the editable WP page.

My Reach is Nationwide!
The cold hard truth will never be hard to come by on this website. I'll be the first to tell you that not a lot of people read it. I see the numbers. My readers right now are primarily my Facebook friends. The most readers I have attracted on a post thus far is around 1,000. The least I have gotten is about 300. So when Mr. Frank Jones of Asbury, New Jersey reached out to me on Twitter (@donlan_andrew) to express his displeasure with one of my blogs after reading it, I was a bit shocked. I am not sure where he came across my blog, but he did, and we had a fun conversation over one of my least read blogs- Darrelle Revis: A Further Look Into His Demise. This is the blog where I presented my theory on Darrelle Revis' downfall, and how it had more to do with him being an unknown environmentalist than actually becoming a worse football player. Frank didn't like that theory. Regardless, I was happy to engage with a new reader. Here's what ensued:
And then, just like that, it was all over. I like to think that after this twitter talk with Frank, he retreated to his room, stared blankly at his wall, and bought into my theory. Then, the next day, he went in to work and told of his co-workers about it, who then turned him into his boss. Whether this happened or not, your boy is going global!

You have come a long way from who you used to be. After reading your blog, I realized that you are one of the most influential men in our country. Well, I am really proud to be your friends, however, I do not even think that you still remember me. We used to hang out so much when we were young, be we have long been over that. I hope that we can meet again sometime though, I would love to chat with you.

by VPNHaus | 10/15/2009 |Rethink Remote Access
Haus is starting a series of posts looking at how to rethink remote access. We have asked IT experts with no affiliation to us to share their thoughts with you.
In this post, Chris Larson, President of WICA Technologies shares ideas on remote access policy. Who is WICA Technologies? An application development company that deals with security at that level, that believes a fundamental understanding of network and application security is a must for any developer.
"[Remote access policy] depends on the target audience more than anything else. Different scenarios require different approaches, as is often the case. Factors such as cost, number of users and levels of security are always considerations that need to be analyzed. Remember that no matter how good the solution, there is always the possibility of vulnerabilities and unwanted intrusion. However, the most basic policies should always involve the following aspec
Encrypted connection from endpoint to endpoint
Ensuring security during the transmission of data across public lines is a must no matter what. Whether this is an on-demand VPN software solution, SSL via a web browser, built-in encryption of GoToMyPC or a more dedicated solution of Router-to-Router dedicated VPN, some form of encryption is a best practice in all remote access scenarios.
Limiting the activities of all users based on a role-based security policy
Ensuring that the security policy for each user accessing remote resources is properly defined and supports such things as not allowing end users to shut down remote access servers and preventing users from installing rogue applications provides a safer and more stable environment for all end users.
In an ideal solution where cost is not an object, you would have point-to-point networking configured at the router level so that everything was transparent to the end user. I would still recommend a VPN as part of that communication. Aside from simple encryption, the VPN provides an IP address to the client that emulates an IP address within the private network. Using VLAN's, the remote users can be segmented away from the true internal network to further limit the access available to them.
For highly secure installations, NAC offers an additional layer of security that is more easily manageable than such primitive techniques as MAC address filtering and IP restricting. I would further look at remote devices requiring biometric authentication rather than keyboard or smart card access to a workstation. I would combine that with RSA security tokens to ensure that there are two security devices required to log in. Unless someone chopped off a finger and stole the token, that workstation would be locked down fairly well.
Security should always be equal to the perceived value of the organization from an outsider's perspective. A beer distributor is generally a far lower value than a technology company, even if they are of approximately the same size. An advertising company, especially one that works with large organizations, even when significantly smaller than comparable businesses, is a very high value target.
Security is 90% perception, 10% implementation. If the perception of the security is impressive, most people will not bother with trying to break it. They simply do not care. However, for those that make a living by attacking security and opening holes to get information are not going to rely on packet sniffing and bandwidth monitoring to gain access if they REALLY want to get in. It is generally easier to put a Trojan Horse on a system inside the network that calls out to a workstation than to try and penetrate from the outside in."

I'll sing you this October song
Oh, there is no song before it
The words and tune are none of my own
For my joys and sorrows bore it
Mike Heron and Robin Williamson,
Indeed October has arrived and Susan is singing her song.
Susan rang Sam to fill him in on developments. There was so much to tell him, she felt he could not fail to be inspired by what was going on and now she had this warehouse space sorted then surely he would join her. He had news of his own when he told her he was finally going back to university and could not in fact talk long. He was off to a party at the Rugby club.
She could hear Mumford and Sons playing in the background. He had texted her recently to ask if she wanted to come and collect the Clash vinyl etc, that it was a phase he'd passed through but maybe she could still have some use in their child like polemic. She had replied with one word: wanker. Hearing the sounds he was playing now underlined that: wanker.
And then the wanker was droning loudly down the phone to her. 'You've changed Susan, and not how I'd hope you'd change when I picked you up from the homeless insecurity of the high street and made something of you, if I'd known then blah blah…' Susan clicked her phone dead with the frustration of it all. She knew her heart, her soul, her being was a constant.
And so what if she had changed, change is a good thing, a necessary thing, and looking at the street around her she could see the world was changing with her, maybe because the world liked the way she was changing and wanted to change with her. And people couldn't see it because they still could not see beyond the wall of dystopia that was current media.
And current media at that moment had Hilary Benn making an emotional plea for Britain to bomb Isis Fascists helping David Cameron to win Syria air strikes vote 397 to 223 and a woman who refused treatment after losing her sparkle died but a commuter pushed under a tube train survives and man is arrested, the chance of infection in the city was very likely.
In ten or fifteen years they would see right enough, and they wouldn't recognise their own city and maybe Susan wouldn't either and who knows the change might not be for the better but all she knew was that she was loving the changing and all its chance and hope and the possibility of a new way of life forcing its way through and exploding around her.
And knowing she is a part of it, that she has her part to play, that she is bang in the centre and active, an activist, helping to change and being changed by it all at the same time and that dreary wanker Samuel of fine word and weak gut if he didn't understand that then more fool him let him slide back and revert to type and stagnate and die, God she was venting.
Then a weird moment turned her mind away from the phone call.

Franchise Financing Starts Using a Fantastic Small business Strategy
Franchise financing can be a essential starting of beginning your enterprise strategy. Do you definitely require to make a organization program? The short answer is yes. The value of a comprehensive, thoughtful small business program cannot be overemphasized. Quite a few elements essential to business accomplishment depend upon your program: franchise financing, equipment leasing, industrial true estate finance, outside funding, credit from suppliers, management of your operation and finances, promotion and advertising and marketing of the small business, and achievement of one's targets and objectives.
A number of people assume that if they're not going to seek franchise financing help from lenders or investors to open their business enterprise that they don't require to prepare a organization plan, but each small business should really have a single. Writing a enterprise plan serves as a road map for your venture when you're starting out. It could enable you to figure out several essential enterprise components, including:
* What you'll want to accomplish to get started and what sources (time, franchise financing) you can will need to expend.
* What it's going to take for your business to make a profit and how long that may you need a commercial real estate finance loan?
* What details potential prospects, vendors and investors will will need to know in order for you personally to market your enterprise proficiently.
Writing your company plan also forces you to think about your business objectively. When you happen to be carried out, you can possess a extra realistic thought with the work it can require and whether it really is a venture you should pursue at this time.
Even when that you are starting a business enterprise from scratch or taking a look at a franchise you need to create that road map on how your company will likely be executed. A plan will assistance figure out projections of income, costs, and in case you require financing to begin. Franchise financing is just one remedy we supply our clients.
In relation to franchise financing, we've got the capability to obtain the financing you may need. Financing a new company or purchasing an current business is usually difficult and lenders look at a new venture as risky, especially for anyone who is a initially time business enterprise owner. Lenders having said that like franchisers simply because there's a history of sales as well as a corporation to back you up.
It's best when you can receive the credit you need utilizing small business credit rather than personal credit to ensure that your individual assets are certainly not at a full risk. Also lenders are apt to loan extra income to a business enterprise than to an individual.

Daily Fishing and Outdoor Report
Showing dignity and grace after the election results were in ...
Below:Along the coast we're already practicing for the new administration ...
Sunday, November 13, 2016: Once again it's perfection with a price. Ultra-clean skies, just-fine air temps in the 60s, and fallish west winds all equal tough surfcasting for stripers and blues. The ocean is clearing rapidly. It's also in one of its lake phases, with waves barely 1 to 2 feet. Water temps are mid-50s.
Weather note: The Midwest is well above average, temperature-wise. That air mass is heading here. The entire upcoming week is going to be sweet -- temperature- and sky-wise.
While the current forecast has nothing but westerlies blowing, I see chances for afternoon southeast winds. Those can quickly spark the stripers. Of course, right about now, we need something like a full-blown electrical bolt more than a mere spark.
There will also be some boat bassing chances in the upcoming mix. It'll very much be a catch-as-catch-can ... pun intended. If you look out and see the flags less than straight out, hit it fast.

Big tournament yesterday and couldn't get a bite. Back to the same area today and fishing was easy. Figures. It's like they know.....
Below: via Sean Marti
Heard an interesting story about a near-50-pounder caught in the tailing of the dredge out getting sand for the Holgate replenish. I'd wondered about that potential.
ALERT: For the many of you who'll be boarding duck boats for weeks to come, please use good judgement -- an have safety gear. Sadly, we've lost a number of hunters after their smaller, flat-bottomed vessels were swamped, most often by honking west winds. Obviously, things get hairier when duck boating across wider stretches of bay or ocean water. Yes, quit a few duck hunters go out into the inlets an open ocean.
I fished a big chunk of yesterday and got as discouraged – more like as pissed – as I've been all fall. I even gave up counting the number of times I cast, a sure sign I was giving up. I was so put off by the lack of action, I swear I would have even chucked out chunks of bunker to bait fish. Yep, I was that dang desperate.
That said, there was a fine 34.54-pound, eel-caught BL bass Christopher Altieri. It's timed in at 12.01 a.m., which makes it a midnight hookup. If that's true it adds some verification to a report of an after-dark bite, North End, as I was told by D.S. With the moon fully filling in, I'd highly suggest getting out and taking in the night sights – and possible bassiness.
I was also told about two other just-keeper bass caught north of mid-Island. Both bait-caught.
WORTH A TRY?: Below is a video of a just how hard I've been trying to attract a taker when plugging. The sound isn't great but you can still hear enough to make out the concept.
This popper tweak offers an amazing look when being popped – and even a cooler swaying action when allowing the plug to rest. I can easily see this plug getting ravaged when at a total stop.
Admittedly, this tail tweak takes a popper with a lot of flotation to attach a tail. I prefer a Tom White plug model, famed for buoyancy.
While the popper I'm showing has lost its bucktail to blues, I'll bet a smaller plastic tail would go on under a full wad of hair, though it might not hold as firmly as the one seen here. I have pushed the head of the plastic over what remains of the wrap area on the hook.
This tweak does not work with a treble.
As I note, the tail must be downsized based on the size of the plug.

At a time where the global war for talent is rife, HR teams are continuously shifting and adapting their strategies to gain and retain skilled international employees. While many companies focus on optimizing their recruiting efforts to fill vacant positions, the recruiting process doesn't end when the contract is signed.
According to Haufe, 90% of HR Managers don't allocate any budget to the onboarding process, even though 85% believe that onboarding facilitates the professional and social integration of a new hire. While onboarding plays a crucial role to keep new employees engaged, it is particularly relevant for international employees who do not only need to integrate into a new company but also into a new country. One of the most delicate but crucial phases of onboarding programs is the pre-onboarding process.
What Is Pre-Onboarding?
Pre-onboarding refers to the phase between when a candidate accepts the employment offer and the first day of work. While some of the procedures to onboard a new hire will need to be covered in person, others can be addressed before day one. However, there is more to pre-boarding than just shifting onboarding activities ahead of the new hire's start day. Along with squaring away all the formalities, the pre-onboarding process should also focus on welcoming new hires and putting them at ease before they start working.
Why Does Pre-Onboarding Matter?
Pre-onboarding is an important phase as it not only lets the new hire focus on work from day one, saving time for both employer and employee, but it also helps with making the hire feel welcome in the new company.
As most new hires don't start the job straight away, there is room for second thoughts and doubts, stemming from the uncertainty that comes with making a career change. According to Haufe, 28% of new employees resign even before day one. Of those who come to the office on day one, 15% have second thoughts. It's important to fill this time with ongoing communication to increase employee engagement and commitment.
Theresa Häfner, Head of Business Solutions at InterNations, explained in a recent article that the talent acquisition process needs to be followed by onboarding that is structured and well-defined. "If not, the risk of losing those new hires in the first weeks increases significantly — and this risk is even higher when employers recruit international talent," she stated.
How to Improve the Pre-Onboarding Process?
To make the new hire feel welcome, it's important to provide them with the information they need to prepare for the new job and maintain the excitement established during the hiring process. Some activities that can help achieve these goals include:
Accepting a new job is a major life decision — and it's even more life-changing when the new job is in a different country. International hires might need additional support, as they not only need to integrate into a new team but also into a new country, leaving their home and friends to relocate abroad. According to the Expat Insider 2019 Business Edition, not having enough socializing opportunities abroad represents the top unhappiness contributor for international hires when moving to a new country. The report findings show that loneliness is the key reason for an early return, a choice contemplated by a quarter of the international hires who took part to the survey. This could potentially lead to talent loss.
Some steps that can be taken to help international hires settle in abroad include:

More on the new Calvinism
Here I try to map Piper's assessment – "twelve features [not unique and exclusive distinctives] of the movement as I see it" which are, he said, "not dividing lines" between the old and the new Calvinism, matters of separation – over mine for the purpose of a very brief analysis. I understand that we are not always saying the same things, but it is interesting to look at the points of contact.
See the whole at Reformation21.

Wish Piper's language was understandable, it read as so much gobbledygook to me. Yours, on the other hand, was in a known language.

Day Three:
We started the day with our journals again and had snack. Two students that had been missing for two weeks were back in school today… one of them was related to the victim of the recent murder in Regina of a 16-year-old girl. This undoubtedly affects the students and the community. I think that it is important to incorporate difficult subjects and events that happen in our community into the classroom but how do we do that in a respectful and meaningful way? Our students are extremely gang affiliated but it is never talked about out loud at the school. It is just something I can't help but think about. I think a goal for me in the future would be to talk to my co-op teacher and principal about what the situation is like and how many students are involved in gangs and how we can address it within the school.
The day began with my health lesson on food labels. We started off by reviewing some stuff we talked about last week and students actually did remember some good information that we went over. They also shared some healthier choices they made throughout the week. Today I made sure to lay out my expectations at the beginning of class because last week I didn't and it was reason for some disruptions and every student was awesome throughout the lesson. They like to jump in and comment on things and answer questions out loud, but I would rather they are excited and want to contribute rather then them not being engaged at all. In my previous lesson I changed my expectations about having hands up half way through the lesson which may have been confusing, so today I made sure to stay consistent with my expectations.
After getting through the opening of my lesson and the video we watched, I had students write a letter. We have an hour to teach a lesson with this class so that is a lot of time for ten-year old students to be focused. Each week I learn more about how I need to approach my lessons. Today I think that I needed another activity or a break brain incorporated because students writing stamina is a lot lower than I expected. This is fine, I just needed to adjust my lesson in order to keep them engaged in learning for the entirety of my lesson. Another one of my goals is to focus on more adaptations for some of the students who have diverse needs, such as, our student who is new to Canada and can't speak any English or our boy who can't write at all.
During Physical Education, we played tag and dodge-ball for the third consecutive week… I think there is a lot that can be done in a Phys ed class and this was an interesting thing to see. I was thinking that maybe Carina and I would be able to do a Phys ed class at some point throughout the semester. After lunch, Carina did her lesson and students really struggle with the afternoon so we are working as a team to think of ways that we can keep students on track and engaged in the lesson. I think it would be important to get them moving around the classroom more in the afternoon or even do brain breaks half way through to keep them focused. Carina did do a kahoot with them online and that was a total hit!! Super fun to see the kids so excited about something.
Finally, I wanted to share a joke that one of our students came up with:
"How do grandparents make mashed potatoes? You Kohkum and Mosom!"

- My Rating: [B], I gave it a (3.5 of 5) on Ratebeer.com
Disco Soleil (India Pale Ale brewed with Kumquats) – Brasserie Dieu du Ciel, 6.5% ABV, 330 ml., (St-Jerome, Quebec, Canada)
Ingredients: water, malted barley, wheat, kumquats, hops, yeast
- Style: (flavoured – kumquat) India Pale Ale
- Taste: Smooth sweet citrusy kumquat low toffee barley malt short body resiny bitter hops
- Where I got it : Bottle Jockey / N. Burnaby
- How much: $3.50 (after 12.5% off) – 330ml., September 2015
- Do I love this enough to drink it again: no
- Would I recommend this to beer aficionados: yep, an IPA with delicious twist
Visual: Pours cloudy marmalade orange with a smallish head, a thin layer of retention, scattered small clusters of micro streams, suspended micro sediment.
Nose: slight orange citrus, sweet malted barley, soapy edge. (lvl-3)-pungency
Attack: crisp bite, smooth creamy CO2
Mid-palate: sustained bright kumquat citrusy, background soft tangy, (lvl-5-sweetness), sweet toffee barley malt
Finish: hints of banana wheat malt, dry resiny hopped bitter
Summary: The kumquat brings a nice sustained citrus element that is apparent from the mids to the finish. Overall delicious but I wished for more length and depth in the mids – it could use a meatier malt base. Overall well constructed and another quality DDC brew.

OK, this is it. I am in deep trouble now. The errors on the Hard disk is making the Notebook go nuts a bit. And sometimes, the browser crashes when I needed to get to a site. Switching back to Firefox from Chrome was much better.
But its all too late now.
Celcom has cut off my line and I cannot do anything until tomorrow morning. It just took me over 13 minutes to get to Maybank but its too late at they are "Under Maintenance". Or then again, maybe the line was already cut the night before.
Didn't realise this until I tried to SMS nexus. This damn HDD sucked my weekend away.
Anyway, the messages for some of you are:
The SOB LED is facing a bit of a problem because of the programming software inside the HDD. I might have to reinstall the software again but I would need to get the serial number online. Plus, the shops in Pasar Road gave me the wrong 'rare' ICs so I have to get beck to this weekend.

Motorola Milestone :: Music Pops And Stops - Headphone Jack Connection?Sep 21, 2010
The only reason I'm starting this thread because I haven't seen this issue on a Milestone thread, and no other threads seem to have an actual 100% solution for this...Most of the times I'm walking around with my Milestone, the music pops or the player pauses completely. I've tried different options (carrying it around inside my bag and not my pocket, for example), different WORKING headsets (including the Motorola ones) and even different players, but nothing solves the problem completly. I just want to make sure there are other options beside having to take it to maintenance (it's still under warranty).View 4 Replies

Hello! It's become common to see German-style stollen sold in grocery stores and in gourmet food catalogs this time of year. Quite frankly, the ones in grocery stores look dry and boring to me, and as much as I love the famed Zingerman's of Ann Arbor, MI, I would never want to pay the $40.00 they charge for their stollen in their holiday catalog.
Fortunately there is an alternative - my bread machine. I probably never would have thought to make stollen in it, but then several years ago I received Rustic European Breads From Your Bread Machine as a gift. Not only was there a stollen recipe in it, but there was also a suggested substitution of dried fruits for the traditional candied fruits. That sounded good to me, as I don't care for candied fruits.
The recipe turned out fine, but then I happened to sample the aforementioned Zingerman's stollen while visiting their store one December. I realized that their stollen had much more fruit in it than mine did, so the next year I doubled the amount of dried fruit.
This made for a very good stollen, but I still thought that overall the bread seemed a little dry. So after buying The All-New Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook at a thrift store a couple of years ago, I was intrigued by the author's recipe of stollen using a brioche base (brioche is another recipe I've fiddled with over the years). This recipe makes a richer bread than the first stollen recipe, so I decided to try it. It turned out very well!
Ever since I began making stollen, I always make one loaf for my dad - the rest either stays with me or is given away to someone else. I made this year's stollen this morning (after the required overnight chilling of the dough) and here's how it turned out:
Above, you see a slice from my loaf -after all, I had to taste-test it to make sure it turned out okay! The loaf that'll go to my dad is behind it. This bread is great toasted and spread with a little butter - and also makes wonderful French toast!
I have a little thriftiness shown here with the plates and table linens. The plate that my stollen slice sits on is part of a set of Christmas tableware that I got half-off at a secondhand store after Christmas (the holly leaf design isn't visible); I paid $10.00 for a complete set of dishes for eight, which included two sizes of drinking glasses. The plate that the loaf rests on was 80c at a thrift store. I paid 25c last year for the napkin - it's labeled Kolf and comes from Austria. Cute folk art design. The table runner underneath isn't vintage but looks it - it was a gift from a friend 12 years ago.
Even the bread machine was a thrift store find. The model is the Breadman Ultimate and I got it last year at the Salvation Army for $13.00. It looked like it had never been used and came with an equally-pristine bread machine cookbook that would have cost $8.95 on its own. I already had a similar model that had begun to act up, so when that machine finally died, I had my thrift store machine waiting to take its place.
Happy baking to anyone out there who's gearing up their ovens for the holiday season!

Today from "Margin of Safety" book by Seth Klarmann, I would like to point out this paragraph:
"At times when interest rates are unusually low, however, investors are likely to find very high multiples being applied to share prices. Investors who pay these high multiples are dependent on interest rates remaining low, but no one can be certain that they will. This means that when interest rates are unusually low, investors should be particularly reluctant to commit capital to long-term holdings unless outstanding opportunities become available, with a preference for either holding cash or investing in short-term holdings that quickly return cash for possible redeployment when available returns are more attractive."
It nicely summarises why the current valuation of the stock market should make you reluctant to commit capital.
