All right that's a lie. The truth is, she wanted to get out and I invited myself along, as usual. Then in our supreme intuition, we decided to drag Big Sister along with us. This was a calculated risk, since BS is still in rather a fragile state of bereavement. She was, as usual, a trooper and came along.
We decided that this was the Barn Day. We didn't get there in the summer when we first talked about it, but today was as good of a day as any to get it done.
We had to take a bit of a stop at Borders to buy some books, and at Sam's for a few necessaries, then off we went to Newton!!
Where's Newton, you ask? Good question. With more luck than ability, we got there with only one minor detour. Think of the Great American West, then think of Utah. Once you are in Utah, stay far north, near the Idaho border out in the middle of the farmland and frozen tundra, and here we are.
The next question I'm sure will be asked, is: "Why Newton?" Answer: That's where the barn is, silly! It's also where our niece's home is.
There is snow in Brigham, where we came from. There is SNOW in Newton, where we went. Good thing I had my faithful little Jeep. Niece drove to the barn and we followed. She was absolutely right, it was a fantastic barn. We stood on the road and took pictures because we are old babes and there was SNOW.
Niece had her baby with her in the car. The plowed part of the SNOW by the road was hip-high, and I'm pretty tall. On the other side of the SNOW windrow, a single snowmobile track led down the side and beyond the barn. Little Sister, the adventurer said, "I'm going in!"
Now, keep in mind that Big Sister and Little Sister are delicate little flowers. Me? Not so much. Think behemoth. Tons of fun. Beached whale. Still, I couldn't let her go on alone. What kind of sister would I be?
Did you know that snowmobiles just kind of skim the surface of the snow, like a very large snowshoe? Yeah, they do. Did you know that even size 9 tennies are not like snowshoes? No, they're not. (Step, sink, step, sink, wobble, lurch, etc.)
We made it to the fence behind the barn. The side of the barn is as cool as the front, and I was perfectly happy to take pictures of the barn from the lone snowmobile track.
Little Sister said, "I'm going in!"
Being the responsible big sister that I have been for many, many years, I knew what I had to do.
"You're on your own, you knucklehead!"
She peered in the broken window. She eased over to the open gap, and squeezed herself inside. Then came a terrible racket that sounded like I Don't Know What.
"Are you all right?", I screamed.
Crap again.
I'm not going in. Did you see how deep that stupid SNOW is? What if the whole interior of the barn fell on her? Niece said there are barrels of stuff in there. What if she's buried under tons of them?
I guess we'll find her in the spring, cause I ain't going in!
Soon I heard the horrible racket again, and out she eased with no harm done. At least, until I get my hands on her.
Back she trudged with frozen fingers and feet and a rosy nose. We went out the way we came in, with the minor change of her taking pictures of me lumbering like a mammoth in front of her.
I did good until I had to climb over the SNOW windrow by the road again, then I went down like a ton of bricks. Not the proverbial s*&t house, just the bricks. Luckily the car was there to catch my fall.
When we quit laughing, we got Big Sister out of Niece's car, where she had the good sense to wait for her retarded siblings, hopped into the Jeep and went to one more location.
This is a typical pioneer house. It has the little historical register sign in the front. It's one of Utah's oldest homes, but in the scheme of things, Utah is a very young place. Our Blackfoot and Shoshone neighbors beg to differ, but that is another story.
We voted among ourselves and decided that Betty had been a good sport, but was getting very worn out. It was time to take her home.
We got to her house, took her parcels in, and the little doggie was waiting at the door in raptures. Her little tail was wagging so fast it was a blur. She put both her little paws on Momma's cheeks and kissed her and kissed her.
I got home and the granddaughter glanced up from the computer and said, "Hey, Nana", then went back to what she was doing.

Biography - WARREN E. McCASLIN
A public-spirited and highly esteemed citizen of Greenville, now serving
his sixth year as county clerk of Bond county, Warren E. McCaslin comes of
pioneer ancestry, and is a fine representative of the native-born residents
of Southern Illinois, his birth having occurred, July 14, 1867, in Bond
His father, the late William G. McCaslin, was born in Bond county, Illinois, July 13, 1829, and died in the very house in which he first drew the breath of life on February 13, 1907, at the advanced age of seventy-eight years. The son of a pioneer farmer, he succeeded to the occupation in which he was reared, spending his whole life in agricultural pursuits. He married Mary J. Steele, a daughter of Walker Steele, a well-known agriculturist of Bond county, and she still lives on the old homestead. Six sons and five daughters were born of their union, Warren E. the subject of this brief personal record, being the seventh child in succession of birth.
Warren E. McCaslin received a practical education in the common branches of learning while a boy, while on the home farm he was well drilled in the agricultural arts and sciences. Entering upon a professional career at the age of twenty years, he taught school two years, after which he took a commercial course of study at a business college in Danville, Indiana. Returning to Bond county, Mr. McCaslin resumed his educational work, teaching in various places, for three years being principal of the Mulberry Grove schools. In 1906 he was elected county clerk of Bond county, and filled the office with such ability and fidelity that at the expiration of his term, in 1910, he was honored by a re-election to the same office without opposition. Politically Mr. McCaslin is a straightforward Republican. Religiously he is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and fraternally he belongs to the Modern Woodmen of America; to the Court of Honor and to the Knights of the Maccabees.
Mr. McCaslin married, in 1887. Gussie A. Goad, a daughter of William M. and Amanda J. Goad, who are now living, retired from agricultural pursuits, in Greenville. Mr. and Mrs. McCaslin have three daughters and an adopted son, namely: Ruby B., wife of Ralph G. Bowden, of Collinsville, Illinois; Gladys A., deputy county clerk; Cora Pearl; and James Y.

precisely to eliminate the fact that any violation of the laws of our country provides a range of specific powers possessed by prosecutors.
As experts say, this competence is called legal means, which are applied to the prosecutor's response.Such facilities response can be divided into certain types.For example, there are common, which are applicable to all branches of supervision.You can find specific and that are more appropriate for individual sectors, as well as some areas of activity.
In response a number of common tools to include acts of protest, which are contrary to law, ie the prosecutor, carries a requirement to eliminate the violations in accordance with the applicable legislation.All actions must be taken by the prosecutor in the end to create all the preconditions for bringing to justice all set involved in the case the perpetrators.
What should contain a supervisory appeal and the prosecutor's
can say with certainty what the prosecutor is a document that is most frequently used as one of the best ways to respond to the violations of the law.
Regulation on the submission described in Art.24 of the Law on the Judiciary.The prosecutor introduced by the prosecutor in another case, this procedure has the right to perform his deputy.This document is subject to almost immediate consideration by authorized persons who are required to take all necessary measures for its implementation in the shortest time.
Making the prosecutor paid solely on the basis of the audit carefully, including a deep analysis of the identified discrepancies legislation.The supervisory complaint is filed directly with the court of supervisory instance.The document must contain the most complete information, the study of which could immediately understand the position of the prosecutor.
main points
document must contain the following items:
- name of the court, which will be sent to the submission;
- data of the person who delivers the performance, as well as the place of residence;
- names of other persons who due to objective reasons are involved in the case;
- data of third parties, as well as their place of residence;
- indication of the number of decisions and rulings to be appealed;
- indication of footnotes, which you can find out what the violation was committed by the courts.
How to prepare and deliver the response to the idea
Once the submission has been received, should be given an answer within the statutory period, ie no later than 30 days.Note that the answer to the prosecutor should contain full information on what measures have been taken to eliminate such violations.To do this as carefully as possible to consider the resulting document and take all necessary measures, which will eliminate the illegal actions.You should also resolve the issue of bringing all responsible persons to set disciplinary responsibility.
If a citizen or organization is considered the arguments unfounded, an appeal can be made to the prosecutor's higher bodies.However, one should know exactly what are the reasons for this.It should be in full accordance with the law to describe all the facts that the violations mentioned in the presentation, were not admitted.The only way to protect themselves from a difficult situation in the future.

How to Create Repeatability in Enterprise Software Sales in the New World Order
The last 3 blog entries focused on creating repeatability in the enterprise software sales process. One thing that hasn't been addressed is the changing landscape in this arena. I read this post recently and got a chuckle, certainly things are not like this if you are LISTENING:
But it also leads to a bigger issue – depending on where your product is targeted and who your customer (and influencers) are, making use of the phone may be relatively obsolete.
Before you go any further, I strongly recommend you read this blog by VC David Skok to determine where (and how) you should be selling your product:
There is a fundamental shift in selling when your product is geared toward software developers. I will claim that the process identified in the last 3 posts is absolutely still required, but with one major difference. On the front end of the curve (prospecting) – you really don't want to be using the phone anymore. Open source software has enabled one major shift in buying behavior – the upper hand in the buying process has shifted from the vendor to the developer. Developers now have the ability to "self-select" who and what they work with. They expect software to be fluid – easily downloadable, no limitations, full exposure to the product internals and documentation. If they have questions they want to be able to collaborate with a community that can aid them through the process, answer questions, and commiserate. Frankly, the only option that a sales person has in this process is to choose whether or not you want to be part of the community that this developer is a part of. Short of that, you will NOT be effective trying to reach this person directly.
So, how do you prospect? It's actually gotten simpler, if you and your company can make the shift to enable a new way of thinking. The goal is to make access to your product as simple and streamlined as possible – open up your product BEYOND your target market. You want to create as large a funnel as possible to appeal to as wide a market as you can. This over-extended market will (on its own) self-select where your value is – and once you find the repeatability in this area, you can then start to target the people that have true interest. It simply isn't worth your time to convince a developer to try your product – even if you succeed in this effort, your return will be a net loss (per Skok's blog). You cannot make money until the developer has shown interest that your product may help them – at which point you enter the prospecting mode – without having to cold call!
Many sales people will say that this is marketing's job to provide them with leads, and I could not disagree more. This is a joint effort that requires both sales and marketing to listen and learn to what their constituency is telling them. Remember, I said that you have to make your product accessible to a wide net – wider than what you can realistically handle. This can't go on indefinitely, at some point the focus needs to be on customers that have the highest conversion. Marketing should focus on going wide, sales needs to figure out how and where to go deep.
The last thing to consider is conversion rate –most successful companies will tell you large scale conversion of developers is in the 1-5% range, and that's a massive range. You need to figure out quickly what your success rate is so you know how many people you need self-selecting, and how many of those people move to the evaluation/purchasing stages. The process in those stages is EXACTLY the same as the traditional enterprise sales market – you will put the appropriate amount of time into the sale based on the ultimate price, but all of the same dynamics (group selling, handling objections, etc) will be there – even for $10K deals.
The large and established vendors don't necessarily see this, but practically every startup selling enterprise software will run into this issue – even business-level software. Developers have become empowered influencers within an organization, and you need to work with them but most importantly not let them push you back to your old habits of pushing them to do things they are not interested or prepared to do.

Is it bedtime yet?
It was a long day and we will all sleep like logs tonight.
And just because I ribbed the kids about how goofy they were being last night, it is only fair that I admit (however reluctantly) that it was I, not either of them, who had to stop three times for potty breaks. They only came into the rest stop with me the third time because I told them I would buy them a snack. Stinkers.
Yes, I took a picture of my alarm clock. Just to remind myself - the gal who hates getting out of bed in the morning - that I could do it. And this was after I got out of the shower, even. Ha!

I'm happy to share I've been with The Jeffs for an entire year now! We've played everything from a variety show to massive corporate party to giant outdoor festivals. In addition to the great gigs, rehearsals are full of camaraderie and creativity. Joining them has fulfilled my dream of being a lead guitarist for a rock band.

Download or listen to the E.P. here at: https://itsthejeffs.bandcamp.com/album/its-the-jeffs
Our 2017 calendar is filling up fast and we constantly add new material to the mix. I hope to see you Wednesday, January 18 at the Big Room Bar. The music begins at 9 – and we play a couple songs live on the radio around 9:45 on CD 102.5. The Jeffs at Big Room Bar – Facebook Event
Good thing I love to practice and play the guitar!

Despite some competition from the likes of Ice Cube in Fist Fight and Matt Damon in The Great Wall, The LEGO Batman Movie will not be suffering from the second-frame blues. On Friday, the animated comedy, a spin-off of the tremendously popular The LEGO Movie, took the top spot once again after winning out last weekend over Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick: Chapter 2. Now, it's looking like the comedy might also rule over this weekend above Fist Fight, The Great Wall, and Gore Verbinski's A Cure for Wellness.
According to Variety, LEGO Batman Movie came in with about $7.5 million yesterday and the number two spot, surprisingly, went to Fifty Shades Darker with $6.8 million. Considering it's not-so-warm reception from critics and it's placing last week, my thought was that either Fist Fight or The Great Wall would grab the secondary spot over Fifty Shades Darker, with the James Foley-helmed sequel still landing in the top five for the weekend. Apparently, some of the Valentine's Day crowd waited for the weekend after to see the not-so-sexy sex movie.
I expect that The Great Wall, currently in third place with $5.9 million, will take the second spot by the end of the weekend but Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick: Chapter 2, landing solidly in fourth place, are showing some serious legs here. There's less confidence in Fist Fight, which is now in fifth place with $3.8 million, striding that far beyond this frame but John Wick could be putting up good numbers for another two or three frames. Meanwhile, A Cure for Wellness, the weekend's most ambitious movie, is struggling with a $1.8 million take that is keeping it well outside of the top five.
Next week will get awfully interesting, with only Jordan Peele's nightmarish Get Out really showing any serious tracking, though I can't count out Rock Dog for the kid's movie faction. We could be looking at a three-peat for The LEGO Batman Movie, which is not entirely surprising, but the weekend after will shut down all comers as Logan's opening will likely be one of the bigger openings of the year, especially for an R-rated movie. For now, however, a DC hero continues to hold court.

Ultimately, Levetto has the opportunity to grow their business with access to timely labor and sales reports at their fingertips.
Categories: Scheduling, Time & Attendance, Payroll
Ontario, Canada
Previous System
About Levetto
Nothing says comfort quite like a hearty pasta or a saucy slice of pizza. Levetto Pizza and Pasta Bar is just that. With 6 operating locations in Toronto, Levetto is rapidly growing in size and popularity. They offer real Italian comfort food, ranging from freshly made in house-made pastas to hand-tossed Roman pizzas. In a city with a budding and diverse culinary scene, Levetto's premise is simple – its unpretentious classic Italian food that speaks for itself. At Levetto, you'll find high quality dishes at an exceptional price in a comfy and casual atmosphere.
Levetto Challenge
Levetto is a fast-casual restaurant but their previous workforce management system was everything but that. It was inefficient and slow. With over 130 employees, it was difficult to update employee records and there's nothing worse than being charged for a service that you are not using. Levetto's previous provider would still charge them a fee for inactive employees. They may have had 30 active employees that were getting paid and 10 inactive but their previous provider would still charge for 40 employees.
With Levetto's previous method of payroll, owner Sammi Nguyen still had to process data manually. Payroll calculations, such as statutory holidays, would take her more than 2.5 hours to manually calculate out and enter into payroll. As meticulous as Sammi is, manual calculations and data transfers are often prone to human error. Adding miscellaneous earnings and deductions would also take forever. They had to input each employee individually. Can you imagine how long it would take to manually process payroll for 136 employees?
Push Solution
Introducing a new employee labor management system to a rapidly expanding restaurant chain is understandably hectic. But with Push's commitment in creating a system where scheduling and payroll is seamless as possible, the onboarding process was simple and easy.
Push Operations' employee labor management system is not only aesthetically pleasing but it is also simple to learn and easy to use. It's all about efficiency. It streamlines the bulk of labor activities into a single platform. Tedious and manual work is no longer existent. The system aims to not only saves on labor costs but also on time. Before, it would take Sammi over 5 hours per pay period to finish payroll. Now with Push, payroll is no longer a painful process. She is able to upload batches of earnings and deductions, cutting the payroll processing time in half; making the task simple, easy and extremely efficient. The bane of every restaurant owners' existence, statutory holidays, are made simple and effortless with Push's automated payroll software. The payroll process is automated, making payroll processing a breeze. All employee clocked hours are effortlessly streamlined into payroll and manual calculations are instantly eliminated.
"…the system really adds accountability back to the managers when they're managing the employee hours."
Sammi Nguyen, Owner
Managers also have the ability to have complete control of the workforce. Sammi notes that "the system really adds accountability back to the managers when they're managing their employee hours ." Managers now have the ability to approve and make changes to hours in real time. They no longer have to be stuck in their offices trying to deal with the headache of administrative work during lunch or dinner rushes. Their time is better spent on the floor; where they can revel in the excitement of the dining room and spend more time with their staff and customers. When reports come back to Sammi, she can do an instant high level overview of each store, instead of contacting each restaurant individually or playing phone or email tag with managers. With a quick audit and spot check, Sammi is able to run payroll with just one click. Ultimately, Levetto has the opportunity to grow their business with access to timely labor and sales reports at their fingertips.
Push Operations not only prides ourselves in providing a system that works, but also in understanding a diverse array of clients. Push's robust software is tailored to each client and the system is customized to fit the needs of each individual business. Push's ultimate goal is to allow clients to work faster and smarter. We revel in simplicity and Push's software allows Levetto to easily handle the behemoth of payroll, have complete control of their workforce and grow their popular business with real time reports.

This morning, we made our way to the statue of Pedro de Valdivia in one corner of the Plaza de Armas to await our FoodyChile Tour of Santigo's thriving market scene. Alvero, our friendly, easy-going guide, had no problem picking us out, which was no easy trick, given how many gringos were crowding into the plaza. (Or, maybe it was easy, since we were the only ones sitting under the rear end of a massive horse!)
Alvero wasted no time leading us to the nearest mote con huesillo cart. While we'd had a cup on Friday, I was ready to sample another — and today's batch, from a mustached fellow on one of the pedestrianized streets, was just as good as what we'd tried two days before. (Alvero's glass was even better, since he asked the vendor to leave out the puffed wheat and dried peaches, giving him a full glass of nothing but nectar! "I can do this," Alvero explained with a wink, "because I'm Chilean.")
We sipped on these as we crossed the historic bridge (designed by Monsieur Eiffel, who designed, I've heard, some little tower in Paris) into the market district. I marveled at the number of Peruvian vendors on the bridge selling cheviche; the air, in fact, was ripe with the scent of fermented seafood. I asked Alvero if he ever ate "street cheviche," and he was quick to say "No!" Especially given the red tides in the south (which can make uncooked seafood dangerous), eating raw fish in Santiago is really risky — particularly when it's been sitting out in stainless steel dishpans in eighty-degree weather all day.
The market unfolds in phases. Up front, there's a two-story open-air space, constructed to replace the building that collapsed in the earthquake of 2010. It's bright and spacious, with vendors in orderly stalls. (One, in fact, is operated by a local chef, who sells his wares here for a fraction of what you'll pay for the same dishes in his swanky joint in the city.) But, as Alvero explained, you pay extra to shop in this kind of environment; the real bargains (and the real Chile!) lie further on.
Next, we found ourselves in the much older, much more authentic marketplace. The narrow aisles were packed with people shopping for every kind of product you can imagine — and some you probably haven't. Here, stalls loaded with silver fish on ice. There, white refrigerated display cases piled high with cuts of beef. A bit further down, an old woman with a seamed face sells bulk spices. Beside her, a man sells odd metal hooks for lifting up the heating elements in stovetops. Beyond that, racks and racks of calculators, cables, knock-off designer shoes, dog-eared paperbacks, wood carvings, baby clothes, and athletic socks.
As we stood shoulder-to-shoulder with locals stocking their pantries, Alvero introduced us to a number of chiles used in Peruvian cuisines (the Chileans, it seems, are not as fond of chiles as their neighbors). My favorite was a tiny, extremely hot red chile named for a certain body part of a monkey. (The exact body part I will leave to your imagination.) While we didn't sample it, Alvero did pick up a hot sauce made from pancos, some extremely hot, extremely orange peppers, and carried it with us to our first extended stop: a restaurant in the heart of the market.
This place reminded me of some of my favorite eateries in Thailand: packed with locals and not an English menu in sight. We started with a taste of porotos granados, a Chilean bean stew. (It tastes a lot like hominy.) My favorite, though, was the ajiaco, a meat soup laced with cumin and oregano. Normally, you'd cook it up with leftover meat from your family barbecue … but the version we had today was delicious enough.
We also tucked in to a sample of humitas — little packets of corn husks, wrapped with twine. Inside, we found a soft, sweet serving of grated corn and cheese, spiced in a way that made us both think of my mother's delicious cornbread dressing.
I enjoyed the other food samples (including the best fried empanadas we've had here, stuffed with cheese and seafood), but I also loved the beverages we sampled along the way, including colo de mono … or "the monkey's tail," a local beverage that tasted a bit like Bailey's Irish Creme, if Bailey's Irish Creme were laced with cloves.
But that was just the beginning! We also sampled local craft beers, a tasty white wine, and the cocktail you can't leave Santiago without drinking: the pisco sour. Suffice it to say that, as someone that never drinks much (You in the back! No snickering!), all these samples made this one very jolly tour indeed.
And for us — laid back folks, who appreciate good conversation and good humor — Alvero was the perfect guide. We talked politics. We talked about the peculiarities of Chilean Spanish. We talked about the work of Chilean philosopher/director/author/mystic Alejandro Jodorowsky. We talked about the distinctive cuisine of Chile. We talked about what life is like for couples like me and Clyde in Santiago. We even talked about Alvero's apartment, and his girlfriend, and the fact that the longer he stuck around with us, the more likely he was to avoid having to go home and paint a bedroom in the heat of the day.
If you're in Santiago, you'd be silly not to join FoodyChile for the market tour — or their combination of a market tour plus a cooking class in a local home! (We didn't have the time for that one, alas.) And if you're like us, and enjoy great food even more in the company of people who feel like old friends from the minute you meet them, you'd be even sillier not to ask for Alvero as your guide.

Cops: Connecticut man drives 112 mph in Vermont heading to pay speeding ticket
ROYALTON, Vt. >> A 33-year-old Connecticut man told police he was headed to traffic court to take care of a speeding ticket when Vermont State Police say they pulled him over for driving over 100 mph.

le Bangladesh
Since 25 August 2017, more than 700 000 Rohingya refugees escaping violence in Myanmar have sought protection in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh – increasing the area's refugee population to approximately 900 000. Some 1.2 million people of both refugee and host community populations are in need of food security and livelihoods assistance.
The speed and scale of the influx has placed extensive pressure on public services in host communities and may have a long-lasting environmental impact. Firewood collection has exacerbated ongoing serious deforestation in areas surrounding refugee camps, resulting in a dwindling supply of cooking fuel. The majority do not have sufficient food, cooking fuel or cooking utensils.
The crisis has cost the host community significantly through loss of natural resources, rises in food, cooking fuel and transportation prices, and a highly competitive labour market with greatly decreased wages. Firewood selling was previously one of the few local income-generating activities. Ensuring livelihood opportunities for host communities is vital to maintain peace and foster social cohesion. The situation for both communities is increasingly dangerous during the cyclone season and monsoon rains.
Together with the Government of Bangladesh and humanitarian partners, FAO is linking local production to expanding food markets to generate income and improve nutrition, as well as working to mitigate the impact of disasters, such as floods and landslides. Cash-for-work activities in watershed management is helping to stabilize the land, prevent topsoil loss and re-establish forests.
FAO's priority interventions are to:
- curtail environmental degradation and rehabilitate the natural resource base;
- provide economic opportunities to host communities while increasing local food production;
- improve the nutrition of refugee and host community populations.
Controlling transboundary animal diseases
FAO animal health is building capacity to prevent, detect and respond to disease threats. Activities are implemented by FAO's Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) in Bangladesh and 34 other countries. Many communities rely on animals for their livelihoods as well as their food security and nutrition. When diseases jump from animals to humans they can spread around the world in a matter of hours or days, posing a threat to global health security. FAO is working to reduce the impact of animal diseases on lives and livelihoods, and helping to stop emergence and spread of potential pandemics at source.

Breeders and Puppy Buyers - This spring brought forward a neurodegenerative sensory disorder called Acral Mutilation Syndrome (AMS). A protein in the brain called GDNF becomes deficient and causes sensory insensitivity. In simple terms, the dog does not feel pain or temperature. There were cases of infected dogs chewing on themselves and do to the extent of the damage had to be euthanized. This disorder has been found in English Cockers, English Springer Spaniels, English Pointers, German Shorthair Pointers, French Spaniels and Miniature Schnauzers.
What we know so far:
- No effective treatment
- Genetics - AMS is inherited. Both parents must carry one copy of the mutation for the disease to occur.
- DNA Testing is the only way to identify carriers.
- OFA now accepts Acral Mutilation Syndrome results. You will need to complete an OFA DNA Application and attach a copy of the lab report and mail to OFA with the $15 fee. OFA will mail you a certificate. The application can be found on the OFA website at https://www.ofa.org/pdf/dnaapp_bw.pdf.

**Kit costs $179.00 and includes both AMS and PRA tests. Discounts available for purchases of multiple kits. Save $25: ESSFT25

Actually an actual group effort is to set ground rules for what we can and can't bring depending on the state
PM me for link
We have to defend somehow honestly. Forming a human chain = obvious breakthroughs.
We need people who know what they are talking about
Who have experience rather than imagining things
We should be non-lethal by nature.
Anyone got a lathe?
We could custom make batons.
We're not doing fucking batons
Jesus fucking christ
there is no non-lethel only less-than-lethal
Weapons are on the table but simple shields already employed in riots are off the table?
nigger fuck you, batons are cool as shit.
Nigger neck yourself
We are not a fucking police organization
Good god damn this isn't fucking hard
At the moment our plan for irl action isn't as an overt group
It's as individuals
Antifa brings batons and shit to fucking beat innocent people. Nigger, if we are going to be staring these people down in the streets and countering their protests we should be ready on their level.
I'll be honest though, how do 5 of us stop 100 of them?
Good for fucking them, let them
so no shields?
It shows the whole fucking world that they're the facists they claim to hate
This is a culturual war
Exposing these fucks to normies will me more effective than getting into fights with them
Culturual wars are won and lost in the PR of normalfags

No. 8 Penn State 38, No. 6 Wisconsin 31
Trace McSorley threw four touchdown passes and No. 8 Penn State stunned No. 6 Wisconsin 38-31 on Saturday night, overcoming a 21-point first-half deficit in the greatest comeback in Big Ten title game history.
Penn State (11-2, No. 7 CFP) won its first first conference title in eight years. The Nittany Lions must wait to see if the selection committee rewards them with one of the four coveted playoff spots Sunday.
Penn State trailed 28-7 with 5:15 left in the first half, but McSorley led the Nittany Lions to touchdowns on each of its next four possessions, finally taking a 35-31 lead on an 18-yard pass to Saquon Barkley with 13:41 left.
Things looked bleak early, but McSorley repeatedly burned the nation's No. 3 defense with long passes on a record-breaking night.
McSorley finished 22 of 31 for 384 yards. The yardage and TD passes were both Big Ten championship game records. He also broke the school's single-season records for yards passing and touchdown passes. And he wasn't the only one to have a memorable performance. Saeed Blacknall caught six passes, two for touchdowns, and finished with a championship-game record 155 yards.
Wisconsin (10-3, No. 6 CFP) played without starting quarterback Alex Hornibrook but still jumped to a 28-7 lead behind Corey Clement, who ran 21 times for 164 yards including a 67-yard TD run in the first quarter.
No. 1 Alabama 54, No. 15 Florida 16
Alabama showed off all its weapons in the Southeastern Conference championship game.
Now, the Crimson Tide can expect a return trip to Atlanta for the College Football Playoff.
The nation's No. 1 team scored off a blocked punt and an interception return before wearing down No. 15 Florida in the second half with a dominant running game. The result was a rout that positioned Alabama to go for its second straight national title and its fifth crown in the last nine years under coach Nick Saban.
Next up: a likely semifinal game at the Georgia Dome on Dec. 31.
The Crimson Tide (13-0, No. 1 CFP) bolted to a 16-9 lead in the first quarter, despite being held to minus-7 yards and no first downs. They scored one touchdown off a blocked punt, another off an interception return. A field goal was set up by another pick – one of three thrown by Florida quarterback Austin Appleby in the first half.
The Tide led 33-16 at halftime – the most points ever scored in the first two quarters of an SEC title game – and iced the victory with scoring drives of 98 and 91 yards, sparked by a goal-line stand that finished off the last gasp by the Gators (8-4, No. 15 CFP).
No. 3 Clemson 42, No. 19 Virginia Tech 35
ORLANDO, Fla.
Deshaun Watson bolstered his Heisman Trophy candidacy by passing for three touchdowns and running for two more to lead Clemson past Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Winning consecutive league titles for the first time in 28 years likely will send the Tigers (12-1, No. 3 CFP) back to the four-team College Football Playoff for the second straight year, providing Watson with an opportunity to resolve unfinished business from last January, when his team lost to Alabama in the national championship game.
The Clemson star completed 23 of 34 passes for 288 yards, including TDs of 21 and 10 yards to Jordan Leggett and 15 yards to Hunter Renfrow for a 42-28 lead midway through the fourth quarter. He also rushed for 85 yards on 17 attempts for the Tigers, who've won back-to-back ACC titles for the first time since winning three straight from 1986-88.
Watson's counterpart, Jerod Evans, was just as impressive for Virginia Tech (9-4, No. 23 CFP). The 6-foot-3, 238-pound ran for two touchdowns and rallied the Hokies from a 21-point deficit to make it close at the end.
No. 7 Oklahoma 38, No. 11 Oklahoma State 20
NORMAN, Okla.
Baker Mayfield passed for 288 yards and three touchdowns, and Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State in matchup that decided the Big 12 title and likely guaranteed the Sooners a trip to the Sugar Bowl.
Mayfield performed well throughout, despite finishing the game without top receiver Dede Westbrook. Westbrook caught four passes for 111 yards before being knocked out of the game on a crushing hit by safety Jordan Sterns.
Samaje Perine rambled for 239 yards on a career-high 37 carries and Joe Mixon caught a touchdown pass and busted a 79-yard touchdown run for the Sooners (10-2, 9-0 Big 12, No. 9 College Football Playoff).
Mason Rudolph completed 11 of 25 passes for 186 yards for Oklahoma State (9-3, 7-2, No. 10 CFP). His top target for the season, James Washington, caught two passes for 50 yards on eight targets.

Tipped to be one of the world's most popular holiday destinations the island archipelago of Maldives is a dream come true for adventurous travellers. The top activities for visitors are as follows.
Regarded as one of the most romantic and relaxing activities on offer in the Maldives nothing quite compares to setting sail in the early hours of the evening to experience the daily miracle of the sun setting for the day. As an island haven offering unhindered views of the sky at every angle there is no better way to experience the magic of a Maldivian sunset than on board a sunset cruise. Setting off during the hours of dawn when the sky turns pale hues of orange witnessing the sun's descent from on board a boat while sipping champagne in a must-have experience for all visitors vacationing in the country.
Famed as one of the best snorkelling and diving hubs in Asia, one of the favourite activities of seasoned holidaymakers vacationing in the archipelago is indulging in a snorkelling or diving safari. Those who are unable to snorkel or dive can learn the basics of the sports and also gain certification through the many diving schools set up in resorts and as private institutions in the Maldives. Even children can learn to snorkel and the finer point of underwater exploration through the Bubblemaker course while adults can secure PADI certification. With its sea beds littered with vibrant marine life (dolphins, eagle rays, turtles, manta rays, sharks, and more coral species than found anywhere else in the world there's no better venue to peak beneath the ocean's surface than in the Maldives.
Offering visitors and resort dwellers the chance to unwind in style massage therapies are part and parcel of the Maldivian holiday experience. Most resorts offer massage therapy within the familiar confines of one's own over water villa where guests can relax with the sound of the water serving as the perfect soundtrack. As a favourite resort based activity enjoying a massage can be done in a group or as a couple as spa facilities within the establishments also offer group sessions. Employing a variety of world renowned massage techniques including healing techniques typical of Swedish, Thai and Balinese massage schools the spa facilities and massage therapists found in reputed Maldives hotels such as Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas provide a relaxing holiday for all.
Known across the world as the Sea of Stars, the luminous phytoplankton in the Maldives is a must-experience highlight for all beach lovers and natural phenomena fanatics. Visible in Vadoo Island this unique sight which has been featured in Hollywood films such as the Life of Pi is caused by the bioluminescent phytoplankton that are only found on the island. As the only location on the planet in which this phenomenon takes place the entire stretch of beach on Vadoo Island sparkles each night with tiny beads of luminous light. Difficult to photograph and describe with mere words this magical occurrence is another reason to head down to the Maldives this holiday season.
Often described as one of the more transformative experiences one could have in the Maldives uncovering the local culture of the Maldivian populace is another highlight of a vacation in the paradise isles. Touring the scenic confines of the capital city of Male visitors can stopover at the National Museum or Hukuru Miskiiy to discover the rich cultural heritage of the country. Other highlights in the capital include Jumhoori Maidan and Utheemu Ganduvaru.

Pit Bull Rescued From Abandoned Crack House Becomes Firehouse Dog
February 23, 2017
A month ago, animal rescuers Erica Mahnken and her fiancé, Michael Favor, found Ashley the pit bull inside an abandoned "crack house" in Staten Island, New York. She was severely malnourished and covered in cigarette burns.
Now she's standing proud as the official firehouse dog of the Lower East Side "Fort Pitt" FDNY station.
probyash / Instagram
"We didn't ask any questions when the person called us and told us the dog was alone," Mahnken told CBS News. "It was freezing out. There was nothing in the house. No, we didn't think about it — we just ran and got her and said we'll figure out what we were going to do after we got her out of there."
At the time, the pair didn't have anywhere to house the shivering dog. So, they called up some firefighter friends.
The firefighters, who used to house a rottweiler, agreed to temporarily welcome the dog. Three days later, they called up Mahnken and asked if they could adopt the nearly one-year-old pit bull.
probyash / Instagram
"My heart wants to explode," Mahnken said. "Everyone's so quick to judge a dog, especially a dog you don't know where it came from or what kind of person they are and what kind… It is very satisfying."
probyash / Instagram
Ashley loves to hang out with the crew in the kitchen and goes on ride-alongs with the firefighters when they respond to a fire. She even has her own little spot on the fire truck.
probyash / Instagram
Ashley even has her own Instagram account. The firefighters give almost updates — almost daily — on the dog's adventures and whereabouts.
"Reporting for doodie… ready to ride…I got the woof! (Roof)"

Thanks to the MIT Museum Store, it's now easier to find those unique-to-MIT gifts. Earlier this month, the store unveiled MIT Hatch'd, a selection of products designed or developed by MIT alumni, students, staff, and researchers.
The Hatch'd line, which is available on the museum's newly-designed online store, focuses on STEM products whose primary content or design was developed by members of the MIT community.

Nervous System jewelry, inspired by complex patterns generated by computation and nature, designed by Rosenkrantz and Rosenberg.
Roominate, a STEM-infused dollhouse construction kit that aims to girls ages 6–10 excied about math and science. Co-created by Alice Brooks '10.

Rhino 11 30000 Review
It's true that men are faced with various issues. Perhaps what bruises our ego most is knowing that we no longer perform well sexually. Perhaps this is what Rhino 11 thought they would fix.
The company strives to boots male sexual energy by increasing testosterone. But does it work? Let us take a closer look. [maleside]
Company behind Rhino 11 30000
It's made by Ultimax. I became suspicious of Rhino 11 30000
when the FDA confirmed that this product contains sildenafil even though it's not listed under its ingredients
Rhino 11 30000 Claims
They claim that:
• it restores manhood performance by boosting the body's testosterone capacity
• Gives you satisfactory bedroom performance
• Gives harder erections for a long time
Rhino 11 30000 Ingredients
Korean Ginseng – Traditionally used to increase mental awraens3ss, this ingredient is used in this supplement as it helps clear the mind from distractions.
Vitamin B6 – It's closely tied to dopamine. It clears the mind helping you relax
L-Arginine – Normally used in bodybuilding supplements, this active ingredient boosts blood flow making you hard for a long time
Dodder Seed – It's used by the Chinese due to its aphrodisiac properties
It also contains Asparagus, dong quai and epimedium though in lesser quantities
How does Rhino 11 30000 Work?
The manufacturer claims that Rhino 11 30000
is made from natural safe ingredients that give you larger erections. We know that this is a lie considering that they contain unlisted ingredients. According to their official website, it boosts stamina by boosting blood flow to the male sexual organ.
Rhino 11 30000 Pros
- Enlarged manhood size
- Makes you last longer
Rhino 11 30000 Cons
- Ineffective
- Falsely advertised
- Unlisted ingredients

What is Independence Day and why it is celebrated in the USA?
The birth of America is celebrated on the 4th of July every year since 1776 after everyone voted in favor of Independence. Independence Day officially became a Federal holiday in 1941. If July 4th falls on a Saturday, then Independence Day is observed on Friday and if the date falls on a Sunday, then it is celebrated on Monday. Independence Day 2018 is to fall on the 4th of July, which is a Wednesday.
Independence Day was an idea put forward by Richard Henry Lee in 1776. The voting for the motion was held on the 2nd and put into effect on the 4th of July.
The Declaration of Independence was filed and to this day remains a proof of the day that America got its Independence. The celebrations in America on the 4th of July are massive.
People wear patriotic colors of the flag and take part in parades, carnivals, and public speeches. Most of the government offices and schools remain shut and the ones that are open offer their employees a paid leave to spend the day with their families.
The American Flag and the National Anthem are the two most significant symbols of Independence Day in America. Also, Independence Day is one of the four federal holidays that fall on the same date every calendar year.

How did this day come to be and history?
The American Revolution began on April 19th in 1775 and raised the feeling of Independence within a few. By 1776, many others joined this movement of Independence. On June 7th, Richard Henry Lee, the delegate of Virginia brought forward a motion to put Independence into effect.
Congress, however, put a hold on the matter and instead appointed a group of five people who were given the duty of filing a formal statement in justification to the breaking up with the British.
This group or committee consisted of Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Roger Sherman. These gentlemen were from different states representing all Americans.
- Suggested read: When is Memorial Day in 2018?
On the 2nd of July, the Congress voted for the motion that was introduced by Lee, and on the 4th of July, the Declaration of Independence which stated that 13 US States had formally broken away from the British rule was officially adopted.
Though everyone voted on the July 2nd, America officially became a free country on the 4th of July.
After the War between America and Britain in 1812 patriotism spread throughout the country like wildfire and in 1870, the Congress officially declared the 4th of July to be a federal holiday and in 1941 the day became a paid holiday toward all employees.
The 'Declaration of Independence' which is the proof of Freedom of America is placed in 'The National Archives' in the state of Washington.

Tsvart Last Call review of -04 by Bob Briscoe (diff)
This document has just entered working group last call in the NVO3 working group. I am asking for broader review for two reasons: Most of the content was developed some time ago and could do with a fresh and detailed review. Secondly, it deals with some of the networking considerations that result from the way virtual machines are managed in a data center. I want to make sure that any potential issues for the overlay network that result from VM mobility and the management thereof are addressed, hence the request for review from the Ops area. The working group last call finishes on 29th June, but it is fine for any further reviews to take longer as I am aware of the short timeframe of the request. I will wait for all reviews t be addressed before progressing the document.

|Has Issues
|Review completed:
I have reviewed this document as part of the Operational directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written with the intent of improving the operational aspects of the IETF drafts. Comments that are not addressed in last call may be included in AD reviews during the IESG review. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. Document reviewed: draft-ietf-nvo3-vmm-03 Summary: This document describes a virtual machine mobility protocol commonly used in data centers built with overlay-based network virtualization approach. For layer 2, it is based on using a Network Virtualization Authority (NVA)-Network Virtualization Edge (NVE) protocol to update Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table or neighbor cache entries at the NVA and the source NVEs tunneling in-flight packets to the destination NVE after the virtual machine moves from source NVE to the destination NVE. For Layer 3, it is based on address and connection migration after the move. Document Status: Has Issues. Comments: General Considerations: The document could do with some much needed rewrite, as it is very hard to understand its content. There is extensive use of terms like "this virtual machine", "those VMs", and "those NVEs", without being specific of which virtual machine or NVE one is referring to. By the end of the fourth paragraph of Section 4.1, it is very difficult to understand which VM one is talking about, the source or the destination. The same is true about the NVE. Is it the old or the new NVE? The next paragraph starts by saying that RARP is not used by VMs because VM already knows about its IP address. It then goes on to describe how a end-user client (a new term, not defined before) goes about getting the same IP address using RARP. It concludes by saying that that is how IP address assignment is completed for a migrating VM. s/central directory at the NVA/central directory of the NVA/ s/recorded to the entry/recorded in the entry/ Also who is "we" in Section 4.2, first paragraph? Also what is "guests"? Would strongly suggest that the authors discuss the Connection migration strategy with TCPM WG to understand if their proposal makes sense, as I do not understand the term "reopen dropped connections", nor how a connection can be "paused". Finally, in Section 7, the document claims that in a hot standby option, the VMs in both primary and secondary domains have identical information and can provide services simultaneously. Does it mean that a TCP connection can talk to two different VMs at the same time? If so, who is replicating the information to the two VMs and how is the duplicate information coming from either of the sources quashed? The following comments look at the document both from an operational perspective as well as a management perspective. Operational Considerations: Operational considerations include installation and initial setup, migration path, requirements on other protocols, impact on network operations and verification of correct operation. The document is a BCP, so it is not expected to provide any operational considerations. Management Considerations: Management considerations include interoperability, fault management, configuration management, accounting, performance and security. The document is a BCP, so it is not expected to provide any management considerations.

Miyamoto Not Working on Nintendo NX
Ashley Allen / 5 years ago
Nintendo's creator extraordinaire Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that he is not participating in the development of the company's next gaming console, codenamed the NX. Instead, the brains behind Mario, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda, is concentrating his energies on developing games for the new hardware.
"I've pulled myself back out of some of the hardware section and I'm really focused on some of the software that I'm involved in—for example, the new Starfox game," Miyamoto revealed. "Of course I am observing and looking at the hardware, but I am not actively participating and making decisions."
It seems that Nintendo may have learnt a valuable lesson from the subjective failure of the Wii U: the company spent so much time and effort in developing the hardware that it totally neglected the software. Poor sales of the console only picked up a couple of years after its launch with the release of titles such as Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Miyamoto, however, puts the Wii U's lack of success down to other factors, specifically the rise of tablet computing. "I feel like people never really understood the concept behind Wii U and what we were trying to do," he said. "I think the assumption is we were trying to create a game machine and a tablet and really what we were trying to do was create a game system that gave you tablet-like functionality for controlling that system and give you two screens that would allow different people in the living room to play in different ways. […] Unfortunately, because tablets, at the time, were adding more and more functionality and becoming more and more prominent, this system and this approach didn't mesh well with the period in which we released it."
Thank you Fortune for providing us with this information.

May 20, 2019 – Motorists using U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) in Delaware County are now traveling in a new traffic pattern where a lane of eastbound and westbound vehicles are riding on the newly constructed eastbound pavement between U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) and Clayton Park Drive in Concord, Bethel and Upper Chichester townships.
The new pattern allows the contractor to expand construction of two new westbound lanes (Stage 2) across the entire mile project area.
Stage 2 construction began at the western end of the project in early 2019 after traffic was moved onto the new eastbound pavement between U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) and Fellowship Drive in January.
Once traffic has been shifted into the new pattern by Wednesday afternoon, previously closed intersections with Station Road North, Station Road South and Merion Drive will be reopened. The intersections have been closed for reconstruction to tie them into the new eastbound lanes.
Periodic lane restrictions and brief stoppages also may take place in the work zone on Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for the remainder of construction.

Welcome to Roy's Real Estate for the week. Hopefully you are coming of a good week after cashing in on a record number of 100's in round 8. This week lots of coach's are looking at downgrade trades as well as huge upgrades to premiums. Many teams are putting the final touches on their lineups with only 1 or 2 final trades before owning a set team barring injury. I am only 1 midfielder away from my final team (before injury). I am at this point faster than planned due to using all my injury trades as mini downgrade/upgrade trades. Not ideal, but it will do the job. So here are a few names to look at, either for interest sake, or possible trade sake.
Superstars due for a further price drop:
Luke Power: Luke Power has been an underrated DT champion for years. He has a serviceable average at the moment of 85, but he will be looking to improve that by seasons end. After missing a game through injury, Luke came back 1 week early to score only 40 which has sent his price plummeting. He is down to $361,600 with a BE of 138 suggesting another heavy price drop is just around the corner.
Marc Murphy: Murphy has had an inconsistent start to the year by his standards, mainly due to the week on, week off basis he receives a hard tag. The promising thing about this is that Mark is certainly becoming more comfortable as the tagee, and his base scores are still solid. A good second half vs port got his score to a respectable 88 despite his hard tag but it was not enough to reach his BE and consequently his price is down to $409,300 with a target of 131 this week.
Gary Ablett: A shocking score of 96 last week has seen Ablett's price drop to $548,000. He looks set for a further fall this week with a BE of 134. Pfft, yeah right! he basically averages that!! Good old Gazza wont be dropping at all.
Ryan Okeefe: ROK is an absolute star of the game, but the last two weeks he has resembled more of a pebble or really old bit of dog poo that looks hard until you pick it up to throw and realise it crumbles in your hand. His two 70 point games have seem him drop to a tasty $383,300 with a BE of 134.
Bargain Central:
Daniel Cross: In the last 4 games Crossy has averaged 108 per game, that is elite status. Many people argue that he is a poor Dter due to his high handball to kick ratio, but lets face it, he gets so much of it that it doesn't matter. Cross is down to a bargain $408,000 with a very low BE of 68. Now is the time to pick him up, I only wish I wasn't a few grand short or he would be warmly welcomed to destROY.
Jordan Lewis: Although he was almost dropped a couple of weeks ago, Jordan has 3 100's out of the the last 4 games. That tells me a price of $349,800 and a BE of 49 makes him a bargain. Jordo can be a bit loose, but if he keeps scoring like that he could make alot of coaches happy.
Alan Didak: With 4 100's out of the last 5 games it is hard to believe that Dids can be picked up for less than 400,000. He has a break even of 68 and considering they play Geelong, there may be a 2 week window before his price gets too out of hand. There is the added bonus of duel position for coaches that way inclined.
Simon Goodwin: Yes yes, I know Goody is getting old and many think he is past it but there are vacant midfield spots at the moment and the big fella is coming off back to back 100's. As a backman with a BE of 38 and a price of $350,000 he could be a great 7th backman or small downgrade/ straight swap for Greg Broughton.
Well I'm undecided on my downgrades/ upgrades this week. In fact I may even mix it up and not trade at all. Pfft, talk about an addict in denial! Have a look at Chooks Rooks for you downgrade options and discuss your plans on here. Good-luck.

Animals are increasingly becoming a valuable part of property marketing, with agencies now using dogs in their material.
In Australia, we clearly have a love for dogs, but as lovely as they are, you don't want to buy a house that stinks like any kind of animal.
My suggestion is to ditch all signs of animal life when marketing. It may be tricky, but worth it to show your property in the best light.
Pet problems
Generally speaking, during viewings you don't want pets there. There's no hard and fast rule, but if you think about people who may have allergies coming to view your home, you could potentially lose a sale.
The one problem a lot of people have is what to actually do with their pets during an open for inspection. Getting them off-site is tricky, but going the extra mile can enable someone to really take in your property without worrying about the cat on the bed or the barking dog behind the gate.
Putting your animals around the side of the house is still too much... because even if a buyer loves your dog, they'll be focusing on him and not the home!
What you can show
However, being selective about what you do show can be to your advantage. If you have a really stylish dog basket in your laundry, make sure it's clean.
Dog bowls - once again if stylish and clean - can stay, as long as it makes your pet look like it never puts a paw wrong.
Guinea pigs or snakes in cages tucked away in the garage are usually no problem, as well. Keep them somewhat hidden (and secured!) and you won't have to worry too much.
Pets and tenants
If you're selling an investment property and your tenants have pets, you do have to come to terms with the fact that you can't control the situation.
You can't expect tenants to put themselves out for you, but if you're desperate, perhaps offering them something like a voucher or discounted rent could sweeten the deal.
