Wrongly jailed immigrants in Dallas get $5.6 million
Wrongly jailed immigrants get $5.6 million
Police informants planted fake drugs in a scandal that cost Dallas millions
DALLAS - Sixteen immigrants who were wrongly jailed after police informants set them up with fake drugs will receive $5.6 million to settle their federal civil rights lawsuits, a city attorney said Friday.
Nine cases are pending and lawyers on both sides predicted some will go to trial.
"We are putting behind us the most egregious cases and most of the financial exposure the city has," Dallas City Attorney Madeleine Johnson said.
"In the course of conducting the war on drugs, missteps and mistakes are made. Approximately three years ago, mistakes were made and today we are dealing with the consequences."
One attorney who is suing the city said the total cost could climb to as much as $8 million once all 25 cases are resolved.
The settlements, which are expected to be approved by Dallas City Council next week, ranged from $120,000 to $485,000, according to a city summary.
Apology from cityThrough much of 2001, a group of confidential informants working with street-level narcotics officers planted 330 kilograms of fake cocaine and methamphetamine on 30 unsuspecting residents. Most of the victims were Hispanics who spoke little English and could not afford lawyers.
The council unanimously passed a resolution in October that apologized "to those wrongfully arrested, to their families and to the citizens of Dallas for the breakdowns within the Dallas Police Department that contributed to the scandal." The resolution directed Johnson to enter into negotiations with the victims over compensation.
Lawyer Don Tittle, who settled for 12 of his 19 clients, said the amount of time a person spent in jail was the biggest factor in determining the settlements. "One spent a couple of days. Others spent up to five or six months," he said.
Tittle said victims arrested in late 2001, after problems with the cases began to be known within law enforcement circles, received more because the city should have known what was happening and therefore had a greater amount of liability.
"It's OK," said Jamie Siguenza, a 32-year-old mechanic who spent more than five months in jail. "I've wanted to see the people who did this in jail, but a lot of them are still walking free. I can't put much faith in juries."
Siguenza will receive $455,000. "When I get it in my hand I'll tell you what I'm gonna do with it," he said. "First thing I'll have to pay my lawyer."
Charges are pendingThe lawsuits named as defendants the city, fired narcotics officers Mark Delapaz and Eddie Herrera , former Chief Terrell Bolton and other police supervisors.
The settlements equaled the $5.6 million the city paid to seven police commanders in 1999 and 2000 after they sued for being demoted by Bolton. The chief was fired in August 2003, partly as a result of the fake drug fiasco.
Delapaz, the detective at the heart of the case, is scheduled to go on trial in state court Feb 28 on charges of tampering with evidence. He was acquitted of federal civil-rights charges in November 2003.
State charges are pending against two other police officers and five informants.
Three informants who worked with Delapaz have pleaded guilty to federal charges.

The camp was great in general and I enjoyed every moment.
The camp was one of the best I've been to. It had great teachers and staff, and I was able to learn while having fun.
Camp was inspirational to furthering any pursuit in mathematics, both during school and the time following it.Teachers were supportive and amicable and my knowledge [strengthened].
I like the challenge level of the classes and the motivation that the teachers gave us. We could make friends with a lot of talented people and have fun!
This was a really great experience. I'm glad I was able to come to this camp and meet so many people that share my interest of coding. I had a lot of fun.
This camp was very fun and solved many problem sets and actually USACO problems. Clearly learned all the topics need for the division and [had] great teacher support.
I started this camp with no knowledge whatsoever about coding, and now I am comfortable coding programs.
This camp has taught me a lot in such a short time and the teaching style was fun, clear, and easy to comprehend. There were many activities such as board games, tournaments, and outside sports to entertain yourself.
I liked this camp and learned a lot. I think I am going to do good in the following math competitions.
I really, really enjoyed this camp! I learned a lot and enjoyed it a lot. Who would have known that math was this fun!
It was very useful to receive guidance from the teacher and work with other students to solve problems, as it enabled us to learn a lot together.
It helped me learn a lot more about computer science & helped me visualize how to go about tackling problems.
Best educational camp with supportive teachers and good vibes.
Really appreciate your program. My son is very happy with the coursework and we are thrilled with your exceptional service.
Thanks a lot for the wonderful camp. She really enjoys and learns a lot!
Thank you so much! My son has enjoyed the learning tremendously. We are very grateful for the opportunity you provided for him.
I have been looking for a year-round Math training program for many years. Teachers are very dedicated. They have the skills and passion for training the students. My son has benefited a lot from this program. Thank you!
They are all dedicated teachers. They spent a lot of extra times for the free office hours. I loved your practice tests for AMC and AIME, and I can tell the difference you made in my child.
My son had the most enriching, creative and fun filled educational experience ever! He came home every night so excited telling us how much he was learning, building, and coding. He will be back again.

I am MAD late to the game with this one but it's better late than never, I guess. My boy Gouldie put me on to this sick Kanye Remix mixtape this morning but it actually dropped back in November 2008 to help promote Kanye's 808's & Heartbreak album.
This went WAY under the radar for me and I completely missed it. Luckily it still holds up well over time so it doesn't really matter when you heard it first. Just quality tracks all the way through. This is by far one of my new favorite mixtapes and I will be bumpin' this for a long time. SICK!

Since 2012 our Peaceful Oasis shelter has served as a haven for Muslim and non-Muslim women and their families escaping abusive households. However, due to high need, we are increasingly having to turn away more than 30 clients per month, amounting to more than 360 clients per year. With current zoning restrictions, we were unable to further expand the Peaceful Oasis facility, but thanks to a generous family, we were able to purchase a second property, Musarrat Home, to serve as a second shelter and address the growing need.
With the property secured, we need your help to transform it into a comforting and safe space for our clients! Help us fulfill the name "Musarrat," meaning happiness in Urdu! Learn how you can help here.

Investment in ICT during 2009 has helped AMP minimise the negative impact of the global financial crisis.
In its financial statement for 2009, the financial services company said its AMP Financial Planning business had benefited from the successfull rolled out of a new financial planning platform.
The company is now in the process of running a program to help its AMP Financial Planning and Hillross practice to realise the benefits of the platform — expected to bring efficiency gains of up to 30 per cent.
Its AMP Capital Investors (CI) business also continued to invest in technology during 2009, completing the transition to a new strategic platform and rolling out new back office services which would allow the organisations financial planners to spend more time with clients, according to the company.
"This marks the end of the most complex phase of AMPCI's technology transformation program, which is already delivering quantifiable benefits," the report reads.
"AMPCI secured two new credit mandates totalling over $500m in FY09 with the news systems noted as a key differentiator by investment consultants."
AMP recorded an underlying profit of $772 million for the full year 2009, down five per cent on 2008.
"This robust result, delivered in a very difficult business environment, reflects good earnings diversity, tight cost control, resilient net cashflows and early signs of success from our continued investment in growth initiatives," AMP chief executive officer, Craig Dunn, said.

More about National Mall
You won't find The Gap or a Cinnabon on the National Mall.
We all know the sight of the Washington Monument towering above the National Mall in Washington DC, but sometimes we forget all the other amazing institutions standing in its imposing shadow. This 1000+ acre expanse of green space - affectionately dubbed "America's Front Yard" - is not only a national park protected by the National Park Service, filled with frisbee players, picnicking families, and photo-snapping tourists, it also contains some of the most recognizable monuments and museums in the United States. Spread between the United States Capitol, the symbol of democracy, at one end and the massive memorial of a 19-foot Abraham Lincoln seated in his giant chair at the other, these diverse museums include the National Gallery of Art, the National Museum of African American History & Culture, the National Air and Space Museum and the Freer Gallery of Art, just to name a few.
In 1791, at the beginning of building the American capitol's legacy, a French-born American named Pierre Charles L'Enfant was tasked with designing DC by none other than the big man himself, George Washington. L'Enfant planned the entire capitol to allow for open spaces and a grand avenue that would span nearly 1.5 miles. Over time, L'Enfant's vision was expanded, giving way to the National Mall as we know and love it today.
Over 200 years, the National Mall has come to symbolize the values, sacrifices and desires of the American people. For the last 100 years, it has been the birthplace and premier site for protests, celebrations, rallies and memorials such as Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech, the AIDS Quilt, Presidential inaugurations and so much more.
This place is the ultimate cultural hub. You can walk through the Korean War Veterans Memorial and its immensely lifelike sculptures, or trace the gigantic winding wall of names that make up the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or stand beneath the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial and think about all that American history. From there, you can go see the gaudy Peacock Room in the Freer Gallery of Art or examine the space shuttle hanging in the lobby of the National Air and Space Museum - all free I might add.
With all these options, you can see why this is the most visited National Park in the country. It brings American history, culture, and leisure onto "America's Front Yard" for all to see and share. So next time you venture into the nation's capital, take a gander at the tremendous offerings of the National Mall. Take that stroll from the U.S. Capitol to the Potomac and step into a museum or two, or three, or all fourteen if you have the gumption. It'll be worth your while and probably a return trip.

Featured Content
Here is what Wikipedia says about National Mall
The National Mall is a landscaped park within the National Mall and Memorial Parks, an official unit of the United States National Park System. It is located near the downtown area of Washington, D.C., the capital city of the United States, and is administered by the National Park Service (NPS) of the United States Department of the Interior.
The term National Mall commonly includes areas that are also officially part of neighboring West Potomac Park to the south and west and Constitution Gardens to the west. The term is often taken to refer to the entire area between the Lincoln Memorial on the west and east to the United States Capitol grounds, with the Washington Monument dividing the area slightly west of its midpoint. A smaller designation sometimes referred to as the National Mall (proper) excludes both the Capitol grounds and the Washington Monument grounds, applying only to an area between them.
The National Mall contains and borders a number of museums of the Smithsonian Institution, art galleries, cultural institutions, and various memorials, sculptures, and statues. The park receives approximately 24 million visitors each year.

The photo we have used in the header was taken on a recent trip to Africa where we went on an eight day safari. We came across some hippos lazing around in a pool and two of the hippos were mating. I took a whole series of shots to capture the moment which I will post at a later date. We plan to write a series of blog posts about our African Safari.
Just a comment here one of the things that the internet can't show you is the indescribable smell at the hippo pool. You could smell hippos long before you saw them. Enjoy.

The Rosebank Acoustic Sessions Available Everywhere Today
Current Single "More Hearts Than Mine" Nears Top 25 At Country Radio
Warner Music Nashville / Atlantic Records breakthrough artistIngrid Andress has received continuous praise from fans and media alike since the release of her debut song "Lady Like." This month, the acclaim continues with worldwide lifestyle magazine ELLE featuring her in their latest 'Women in Music' issue, on stands 9/24 (READ HERE). The lauded singer/songwriter is also celebrating the release of her Rosebank Acoustic Sessions, available everywhere today (LISTEN HERE). The three-song project showcases stripped-down versions of "Lady Like," "Both" and current single "More Hearts Than Mine," which totals over 26 million on-demand streams to date. Andress walks fans through the making of her Top 30 single for Apple Music's 'Song Essentials'(WATCH HERE) with Vevo sharing her live performance from their studio in Nashville of the "elegantly written song" (New York Times) today (WATCH HERE).
"My first three songs started as scattered lyric ideas in my phone, but after many hours in the studio with my friends and some tequila, they turned into the songs they are now," Andress shared. "I wanted y'all to get to listen to them the way I did the day I wrote them: stripped down on a guitar or piano because that's how I'd play them for you in your living room…or bedroom if you want to get freaky."
MusicRow praised Andress once again for her latest release "We're Not Friends" (LISTEN HERE), which she co-wrote with AJ Pruis, Derrick Southerland and Nate Cyphert, stating, "This lady so beautifully captures how complicated relationships can be. It's a complex song, full of twists and turns. But her assured performance and brilliant writing keep the whole thing wooshing down the tracks. Wonderfully involving, ear-catching and brain tickling. She's a terrific music creator. Play her." It is the fourth new song released this year from "one of Nashville's most sought-after songwriters" (Billboard), who is also set to make her Grand Ole Opry debut on October 18.
The Colorado-native is also set to kick-off her own headlining run throughout Europe this week in Berlin. She'll make multiple stops in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom throughout September with Essex-born singer/songwriter Mabes joining Andress' UK dates. Tickets for all performances are available now (PURCHASE HERE).
9/17 – Berlin, Germany – Frannz Club*
9/18 – Hamburg, Germany – Reeperbahn Festival
9/19 – Munich, Germany – Folks Club*
9/22 – Amsterdam, Netherlands – Melkweg Upstairs*
9/24 – London, United Kingdom – The Courtyard Theatre*
9/25 – Manchester, United Kingdom – Castle Hotel*
9/26 – Glasgow, United Kingdom – King Tuts Wah Wah Hut*
10/5 – Austin, TX – Austin City Limits Music Festival
*The Lady Like European Tour
"A country pop rookie who can write a chorus like Sia," (PAPER), Ingrid Andress is chipping away at expectations of herself and her sound with debut single "More Hearts Than Mine." Praised by HITS magazine for its "honesty and vulnerability virtually absent on Country radio," the recently named iHeartCountry On The Verge artist performed her "elegantly written song" (NY Times) on NBC's TODAY a week after it became the most-added new single at country radio. The Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville recording artist made her first national TV appearance earlier this year on Late Night with Seth Meyers performing her major-label debut, "Lady Like," only two months after its release. With several co-writer credits to her name, including Charli XCX's "Boys" and FLETCHER's "About You," the Colorado-native first honed her skills writing with heavy hitters in the music community such as Sam Hunt and Alicia Keys and has received additional critical acclaim from People, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Vulture, and many more. With the release of her latest tracks "Both" and "We're Not Friends," Andress' new music continues to prove her as one of the most unique and moving vocalists in the country space and beyond; one that is thrillingly honest, raw and refreshing in a way rarely seen emanating from Music City.

Money and Real Estate in the Time of Coronavirus
Money and Real Estate in the Time of Coronavirus
After a dynamic start in 2020 in the real estate market in Paris and Ile-de-France, the Covid-19 health crisis constitutes an unprecedented shock for the market, the consequences of which are still largely unpredictable. Adrian will discuss how the industry is dealing with the crisis now and what the professionals' predictions are for the future, as well as her own visions. The session will last one hour with a PowerPoint presentation by Adrian followed by a Q&A.
It's free and will be fun and informative...
Friday, April 17th, 3 p.m.
Visit Wice-Paris for instructions on how to register and how to Zoom in!
Dear Parler Paris Reader,
I was supposed to be on a train coming back to Paris from Nice on Saturday in time for Easter Sunday. That was then, this is NOW. I never went to Nice at all. Patty Sadauskas was supposed to do the same, but from Nîmes to Paris in time for Easter. She has stayed there during the confinement.
The day after she arrived in Nîmes, which was the day the lockdown started on March 17th, a couple of nice neighbor guys came knocking at her door. She was so pleasantly surprised, she took a photo of them and texted it to me, commenting, "Some neighbors just stopped by to see if I was okay and if I needed anything. They were knocking on all of the doors. How nice is that?"
This past week, she sent another photo and text message: "Look at this horrible letter that my nice neighbors received. They think it's someone in the building, after they went around knocking on doors to help people. It's hard to comprehend that someone would actually send this."
For those of you who don't read French, here's a translation of the letter the guys received:
"We have nothing against homosexuals but we kNOW that you will be a carrier before others as AIDS has been. You can infect young children and frail people. So please avoid touching the doors especially by going to visit the whole residence to offer your help (we especially do not want any), the entrance of the building and the trash room. As for the digicode, you normally have a badge in your possession to avoid touching the keyboard. If this is not the case, please ask the Syndic to do so. Thank you for your understanding and altruistic attitude towards others."
Shocked by this anonymous letter at the words of incredible violence and stupidity, Arnaud and Julien decided to file a complaint with the authorities and an investigation will ensue as a result. The good news is that in spite of these homophobic neighbors, the others in the building are united. A letter signed by a dozen people was posted in the hall of the building to the order of the author of the anonymous letter.
"We are a nurse, emergency room practitioner, a physiotherapist, a surgeon...and we are more exposed to Covid-19 than all of our neighbors, regardless of their sexual orientation, so I hope you will be delighted to learn that we are strenuously pushing on the digital code several times a day and throwing our trash cans in the dedicated room by opening the door using its handle. If you want to leave a letter for us too — anonymous of course — don't hesitate. Make good use of it if there is ever a shortage of PQ [TP, or toilet paper]. It would obviously be best for YOU to leave our residence in which homophobia, cowardice and discrimination have no place."
The story went viral, starting with the local press. It's even reached 20Minutes.fr, but here's the whole story in the Midi Libre (in French). And as Arnaud's emotional response waned, he commented, "There is so much more that is serious, all these sick people from Covid-19 at the moment. I decided to keep my head high." And he laughed a little: "Definitely, with the confinement, the jerks are coming out!"
I guess those homophobic neighbors won't do that again! At least, let's hope not.
It's hard to believe, but for the first time since 2003, there will be no Après Midi tomorrow. Our presenter, author Heather Hartley, is stuck in Italy, the café is closed and we're all locked up in spite of the gorgeous weather. With Zoom.us, it might have been possible, but the point of the meet-ups is just that...to meet-up, make friends, interact, and while we're doing that, learn something new. Not to be discouraged, however, Heather has graciously agreed to postponing her talk until April 13, 2021...so we have a year to wait, but all is not lost.
For the May Après Midi with author Kathy Borrus, we're not sure if lockdown will be over and the café open again. If it is open, then we may arrange for Kathy, who is in Washington, DC, to make a virtual presentation, not only to those of us who are physically there, but to those who can join us on Zoom, too, by projecting her remote talk on the wall (we use the wall instead of a "screen"). It will be a first...but, never say never! Kathy being in Paris would have been then, but this is NOW.
Wednesday evening, while many people were celebrating Passover in very small groups, or virtually, I attended my brother-in-law's funeral in New Orleans...also virtually, on Zoom. The Rabbi and the immediate family were graveside wearing face masks, but 50 of his friends and relatives logged into Zoom to witness and participate in it. It was surreal in many ways, but amazing and heartwarming that so many people could "be there," not in body, but way more than in spirit, too. We were able to talk among ourselves, then watch the service, then say a few words after. The Rabbi recorded the ceremony and my sister can have it for posterity. This is definitely the NOW and I wonder it it will stay.
Since then, I've been on Zoom just about every night...for an "apéro" with friends on Saturday night and for a Paris Writers Group meeting Sunday night. Patty Sadauskas will celebrate her five years in France, what she calls a "France-iversary Party," on Tuesday night, April 15th, with some of her closest friends...on Zoom.
For those of you concerned about the economy and your portfolios, NOW's the time to Zoom in on a meeting with Brian Dunhill, of Dunhill Financial, who is offering 1st Quarterly Review 2020 - Economic Update on Zoom (of course) on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. EST/2:30 p.m. London Time/3:30 p.m. Paris Time: "The first quarter of 2020 has come to an end and the situation of the markets and the world as a whole has seen very turbulent times so far. We would like to invite you for our Economic Update where Brian will be sharing his thoughts on the current market situation and evolution and how this is affecting the way we are managing your portfolio."

Zooming in again...Democrats Abroad is offering information on the CARES Act and Americans Abroad during an online Webinar for Americans abroad on Wednesday, April 15, 2020, 7 p.m. CET (Paris Time). "Join Democrats Abroad as expat tax expert Nathalie Goldstein MsC, EA and CEO of My Expert Taxes discusses the implications of the CARES Act legislation for Americans living abroad, how to go about requesting a stimulus check, and other Expat 101 tax basics."

For a fun look at the NOW, "This L.A. Photographer Turned a Coronavirus Lockdown Into an Intimate Portrait of Our Times, In a new video and photo collection called 'Touchless Birthday'... Saam Gabbay created a brilliant way to celebrate." My daughter, Erica, was one of his subjects! Read the article here and the video here.
The weather in Paris has been extraordinarily beautiful — temperatures in the mid to high 70s Fahrenheit, full sun, blue skies. It seems like a slap in the face to have such beautiful weather while being trapped indoors unable to fully enjoy it. I'm no meteorologist, but it seems that the very lower levels of pollution is contributing to our glorious weather. Could that be true?
Meanwhile, the trees are doing what trees do in spring...their leaves a bright green popping out turning the branches into lace. The wisteria vines are full with flowers and my geraniums are loving the sun. With no boats on the river, the water is an emerald green glass. Paris has never been more beautiful...yet never more weird! This is the NOW.
A la prochaine...

Hello there!
As you can maybe guess by the title, today I am going to be talking about side project. Specifically, things that I am working on outside of both school and work.
The Blog You're Reading
If you're reading this post right now, then thank you! You're helping me stay motivated to keep creating content to share. Support goes a very long way and even though I haven't been doing this for long, it's always nice to people giving my posts a read.
Currently, my plan is to keep making content to share and gain more knowledge about different aspects of the game industry. In addition to that, I want to have a space to be able to share and discuss opinions, share other things I'm working on, and eventually start doing more in the way of reviews. At the end of the day, the most important part of this process is to have the opportunity to meet new people and to build something together.
Writing is something that I have enjoyed doing for a few years at this point. From short stories to game narrative to novel writing to this blog, I have tried my hand at a lot of things writing wise. Although I haven't done much in the way of completing things, I have constantly been working on improving my writing skills. I feel that now I am much better than when I began and I know that I will get better as time goes on.
For now, my plan is to focus on writing for this blog and continuing to develop my skills and share shorter projects. Before tackling a novel, I would like to work on my basic skills and finish some short stories. Soon, I will share some previous writing projects I have done and talk a little bit about the background on it. Also, this semester of university I am taking a class based around narrative for video games and would like to share some of the concepts that I develop over the course.
Video Games
As you may or may not know, I am currently in school for computer game design. I have always had a passion for video games and now I get to study them in school. The courses I have been taking have taught me everything from 2D and 3D art to using Unity and Unreal to narrative design and everything in-between.
At the end of my studies, I plan on starting my own indie studio. Along the way there, I am trying to lay out the foundations and learn as much as I can about creating games. That brings me to another reason why I started this blog. My plan is to eventually use this as a developer's blog as well and share what I am creating. Hopefully attracting people to be interested in what I am doing.
Arts & Crafts
In the realm of creating things, I also very much enjoy art. Honestly speaking, I enjoy making things and learning new processes to make things that look visually interesting. There is so much more that I want to learn to do along with how I can refine what I already know how to do. In my opinion, my favorite part about making things is figuring out how to make it even better.
As it stands, I am working on starting a shop on Etsy for custom controller shells for game controllers. I have also learned a little bit about making dice sets for D&D. In order to get that to a point where I could also sell them on Etsy, I need to learn about how to engrave the numbers properly or how to add them on top.
At the end of the day, I work on these many different side projects with the goal of eventually getting to quit my job and do what I really want to do for a career. I like to believe that I'll get there eventually, but for now I just gotta take it a day at a time.
Thank you for taking the time to read! If you have anything that you like to do on the side, feel free to share and talk about it in the comments!

In this review, we will be talking about the recently released 'Aerofly FS 2' from IPACS, published by Aerosoft. This review, however, will be focusing on the VR aspects of Aerofly FS 2, as it is an increasingly popular aspect of flight sim, with other sims such as P3D and X-Plane already having support or it being implemented
The Review was run on the following specs with the oculus rift…
i5 6600K @ 4.5 GHZ CPU
Performance is a very strong point of Aerofly FS 2, as it is using the latest development processes and techniques, and is not held back by an old rendering engine. This is great for VR as you are constantly getting 90+ fps on max settings, for VR purposes, this means that you won't feel nauseous from the sim, as the fps is constant and smooth. unlike other sims which in tests have dropped to 40 fps in VR, which sounds like a high number, but in VR this leads to stuttering and you feeling very nauseous afterwards – meaning you cant fly very long in other sims without lowering your settings
loading times are also amazing! the sim can load in the scenery and the aircraft in under 30 seconds in most situations, meaning you can get straight into a flight in no time
User Interface
The UI is where Aerofly FS 2 falls short in desktop mode, the UI is still very mobile-orientated, as Aerofly started out as a mobile app, the UI has not changed in the PC port, and looks a bit odd, however, in VR the big slider buttons are great! while in the sim, pressing the 'esc' button will bring you to the main menu, it is presented to you in a window directly in front, and you use the mouse to navigate through the menus, much like you would with your standard monitor, it's very comfortable to get around and easy to find what your looking for, even the navigation map, where you select your airport, is great in VR, it's just like having a massive monitor in front of you
all of the aircraft in aerofly are pretty well detailed, some aircraft struggle on their exterior model, the 747 for example, the textures in some areas look very outdated, especially when you get up close to them. But in the cockpit, all the aircraft perform exceptionally well, the textures are crisp, and the screens are clear
aerofly also supports PBR on all aircraft, some aircraft show this better than others, the Q400 I found to show it best, it looks great and doesn't affect the smooth 90 fps I got in the sim. The clouds in the sim look pretty good but they aren't anything to blow you away, even in overcast conditions they aren't anything comparable to P3D with active sky, it would be great to see some more work done here, such as cloud motion effects on the cockpit and more cloud types, it would also be great to see some car traffic on roads to really bring the sim alive
when using the sim, the render scale factor is set at 1.00, pushing this up to 2.00 doubles the quality and sharpness of the sim in VR, this improves the appearance of the aircraft and surround scenery greatly, reducing aliasing and improving the image clarity, be careful with this slider though, as some PC's cant handle this and your fps and smoothness will suffer! But it's great that the devs included this slider in the sim, as with some other simulators you have to use 3rd party tools to increase this, which is quite a pain
the sounds that come with the aircraft unfortunately aren't very impressive, some of the aircrafts such as the 737 and a320 share the same sound sets, which was disappointing but understandable as the sound is not everyone's top priority, and some users may not notice it at all. when sitting at the stand starting up the Q400's engines, I didn't feel very immersed at all, compared to the majestic Q400's sound set which provides a loud steady rumble when starting up the PW150A's, the sounds were still accurate but didn't have that 'wow' factor, with a little tweaking on the volume and bass side of things, the sounds could be greatly improved
Aerofly FS 2 is currently not a global sim, meaning you cant for example, fly from Heathrow to new york, as the UK does not exist, it's just a big ocean. but for aerofly, this is totally fine, when purchasing the sim, you get the USA Colorado, USA Utah and the southwestern USA regions, with fully detailed airports (not as detailed as 3rd parties but still amazing for coming free with the sim). with these regions you get plenty of fun, sometimes you don't want to sit in a cockpit for 8 hrs crossing the pond, you just want to jump into a takeoff or landing situation, and this is what aerofly does best.
satellite imagery is used throughout the sim for ground mesh, which looks more than great! autogen is currently not implemented into aerofly as of yet, so some areas look bleak if there is no hand placed buildings, ORBX airports do not have this problem as ORBX have covered quite a large area in scenery such as Innsbruck with their hand placed buildings. another problem this causes is night lighting, without hand placed scenery, your left with a darkened ground image as seen in the screenshots below, so when flying at night its best to stay at regions with hand placed buildings (near airports and ORBX regions)
when testing out the aircrafts, I found the most functional to be the Q400, most of the switches had an effect and you could start and shut down the engines, unlike the 737 and a320. a lot of the systems aren't modelled, however, to some people this means nothing as they just want to fly and have fun, which is what aerofly is all about. But to those who want some depth and realism with the aircraft systems, unfortunately, your out of luck right now with the current selection of aircraft, as you can see below, all the gen switches are off, as well as the batteries, yet the whole aircraft still appears to be powered
as of now, a pushback or any ground service system is yet to be implemented, this means when wanting to start your taxi from the stand, your going to have to use your reversers, the same is to be said about the FMC, there is currently no functionality, you can, however, use the flight planning feature found in the main menu. The flight dynamics found in the aircrafts are basic but work well, the 747 is much slower and banking as you would expect, and you can really feel the heaviness when in control, but the flying remains smooth, the fly by wire in the a320 is there but its quite subtle
one of my favourite features in aerofly is the ability to jump straight into an approach, with the aircraft fully configured for you, I have not had any problems with this system at all and it works really well, you can also change the time on the fly similar to X-Plane, all the lighting loads instantly with the time change, and there is also no performance impact at all. the interactive map for selecting your airport is also great, you can find the airport you want to fly in or out of really quickly, even if you don't know what airport you want to try out, the map has you covered with all the airports right in front of you, when clicking on an airport you can then select which runway you want to be stationed at, or which stand on the ground
one feature that was missing from the desktop version, is the replay feature, the devs have mentioned that they are looking for ways to implement this system into the VR mode, but it is yet to make an appearance, which is quite sad because it is a really fun feature of the simulator, and it would be great to watch your landing from the passanger view or from the ground
in VR mode you have the option of using your touch controllers or your joystick / yoke, trying to use both just doesn't work as you have to keep trying to find your touch controllers when you want to flick a switch, so I stuck to using the joystick and mouse, which is surprisingly easier, as using the touch controllers, I found myself having to move back from the monitor and recentering my view to give me enough space to reach all the switches and buttons, so using the mouse was more convenient
when changing views in aerofly, you are given a set of views to choose from using the number buttons on your keyboard, it would be great if we could make custom views, much like you can in P3D and X-Plane, positioning different views around the cabin for example, to get a great view when on approach into the airport
for a price of £45, I would definitely recommend aerofly FS 2, Prepar3D is around the same price for the academic license, the 2 products cant really be compared as P3D is for more serious users, whereas aerofly is all about the fun aspects of flying. the VR in aerofly is one of the most immersive ever in a simulator, and I would recommend it over other simulators for VR, with its stunning ground scenery and wide range of airports built in, aerofly is very impressive. if you choose not to buy it now, I would definitely recommend keeping an eye on it, as it receives more features in future updates and more add-ons from 3rd parties
Performance - 10
User interface - 7
Visuals - 9
Sound - 6
Scenery - 8
Realism - 7
Features - 9
Immersion - 8
Value - 8
Overall, Aerofly FS 2 gives the best flight sim VR experience to date, its quick to get into a flight, it looks great and the performance is amazing, the sim is great for people who want a break from the usual fully modelled flight sim and just want to get into a quick flight that looks good and is fun, it may not be for everyone, but it is definitely something to watch out for in the future as the developers add more features

ST. LOUIS (AP) – The Archdiocese of St. Louis is criticizing the federal government for putting Catholic businesses in a tough spot, after Mercy Health said it is considering extending benefits to same-sex partners of employees.
Mercy, based in suburban St. Louis, is among the nation's largest Catholic health care systems, with more than 40,000 employees in seven states. Mercy officials say they're considering the move to comply with the Affordable Care Act and other federal programs. It did not say when the change might happen.
In a statement to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the archdiocese says it's inconsistent to claim to be a Catholic institution while publicly acting against church teaching. But the statement added that not complying with federal regulations could impose fines that would hurt employees and patient care.

Seminar in NOLA
August 28, 2016
I checked into the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans. It has been a rainy, cloudy day. I have registered and am chilling.
I tried to post the other day when I first got to the hotel. I think the weather was affecting my ability to upload a photo. It seems like it is always something.
Yesterday was my first day of class. I have the wonderful Nancy Cucci as a teacher and we are stitching chocolate. What could be better. I guess sideways is better than no ways………why is it so hard to figure out how to rotate a photo????

Is your back a problem for you? Is your pain ongoing? If so, you need to find relief quickly. The best kind of relief is through chiropractic care. No matter if you want to attempt some things yourself or go to visit a chiropractor, there are some techniques and tips you need to learn about. Continue reading to find out how to help relieve you back pain.
Lots of doctors are working with outside specialties. This being said, it's vital that you know whether your medical insurance provides for chiropractic care and services. They are great additions to more traditional medical care.
Be mindful of your sleeping position if you're suffering from back pain issues. Put a pillow beneath your head and shoulders. Place a rolled up towel beneath your neck and knees to maintain the natural curve of your body. Also make sure your mattress is a comfortable one.
A chiropractor can help you in boosting your body's immunity. When you have spine misalignment, your nervous system and immune system can be impacted. Having your spine realigned by a chiropractor will increase the blood that flows into the nervous system. In turn the additional blood helps your body to fend off an infection.
You should not expect one treatment at the chiropractor to solve your pain problem. You may feel a great sense of relief at first, but you need to realize that true healing can only happen with ongoing care. If you get told to do certain things by a chiropractor, make sure you do those things to get the right results. Otherwise, you have sought help with little gain.
If you need a chiropractor, you ought to see if your own doctor has a recommendation. A referral may not be required, but it helps you find the most qualified, trusted professionals in your local area.
Make sure you make a wise decision when searching for a chiropractor. Even though there are plenty of quality chiropractors, some of them aren't that good. There are even some chiropractors who create bigger issues. Carefully research any chiropractor you are considering seeing.
If you have chiropractic issues, your sleep position needs to not cause or worsen them. You should sleep with a cervical pillow beneath your neck. They will let your head drop down while a regular pillow has your head being pushed forward.
Do you have high blood pressure? Research indicates that manipulating the first vertebra in the neck can lower high blood pressure. The manipulation lets the blood supply flow freely.
Your back pocket is not a good place for you to keep your wallet. Many men put a wallet in back pockets because they do not know it can hurt your lower back. It can cause pressure to the lower back, colon, and other organs. Try putting it in your front pocket to reduce that pressure.
If you carry a wallet, try to avoid putting it in your back pocket. This can cause lower back pain. It puts constant pressure on the back as well as on nerve connections going to the bladder, colon, reproductive organs and the back of the legs. So, put the wallet in a front pocket instead.
Most chiropractors have specialties that they can treat exceptionally well. Find out if your chiropractor has any specialty training. Some chiropractors treat things that have nothing to do with their practice. Try sticking with those that only treat these ares for someone that's more trustworthy.
Don't sleep on the front side or your stomach if you have back problems. Your spine will become arched if you sleep on your stomach. Instead you should be sleeping on your back, and you should place pillows under the shoulders and knees. Also, put a rolled-up towel behind your neck. This supports the three most important curves that are natural to your spine.
It is easy to find a qualified chiropractor almost anywhere in the United States. Chiropractic care represents the second largest health care profession. It is growing fast, too. In the United States, there are more than 60,000 practicing chiropractors. On top of that, as many as 10,000 students or more are learning the practice themselves.
Do not let a chiropractor snap your neck. There are two arteries in the neck that can cause knots. This isn't a problem unless the neck gets turned too quickly and the lining of the artery tears. This can cause clots to form which may lead to a stroke.
Sit-ups and crunches can hurt your back. Yoga's plank position is a great alternative, and is easy to master if you find online videos demonstrating it.
When seated, position your knees slightly above your hips. Do not sit completely upright or slouched over. Keep your spine curved slightly and naturally. Chairs with wheels let you adjust your seating position when you need to, and that can alleviate long-term strains.
In order to take care of your neck and back while at work, it is important that your computer screen is at eye level. When looking downward at the screen, the weight of your head puts a strain on your neck and compresses the discs in your spine.
If you have jaw or neck aches, a chiropractor can help you alleviate that pain. Tightness may be causing the pain. Grinding or clenching teeth while you sleep can overwork your TMJ joint in your jaw. A guard can make a huge difference in this case.
Sleep helps your body heal after you see a chiropractor. Though you should understand some things. For one thing, don't use a cushion or pillow that will tilt your chin forward. This will place pressure on the neck. Also, don't sleep on the stomach because this can hurt your neck and back.
The only way to get back on your feet and return to your normal daily life is by calling a chiropractor and seeking relief for your back pain. The most effective way to relieve back pain is to practice chiropractic care. See a chiropractor or perform some exercises on your own. Use the tips located above to help relieve back and neck pain.

Diverse economy fuels Danbury job market
Danbury may be the "forgotten city" in Fairfield County, but it is leading the way when it comes to job growth in the county — and the state, for that matter.
The Danbury Labor Market Area boasts the lowest unemployment rate of the nine LMAs in the state. At 3.9 percent, the Danbury LMA outpaces the state unemployment rate of 4.5 and also tops the U.S. rate of 4.1 percent.
While the state has recovered just 80.4 percent of the jobs lost during the recession, Danbury has regained all of its losses, and them some — 7,000 lost and 7,400 regained, according to state Department of Labor statistics. The Danbury LMA has recovered 105.7 percent of the jobs lost from the recession, the only market area to have gained back all of its positions.
"In many ways, Danbury is the forgotten city in Fairfield County up north here," said P.J. Prunty, executive director of the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce. "These statistics show that people are attracted to a city that has opportunity and good employment. It's growing, and that's a good thing. People are voting with their feet by moving here."
It's not that Fairfield County as a whole is performing poorly. The Bridgeport-Stamford LMA, which comprises most of the county as well as western New Haven County, has an unemployment rate of 4.6 percent.
Bridgeport, with its large population and 7.0 unemployment rate, skews that number. Norwalk, a city with similar demographics to Danbury, has an unemployment rate of 4.4 percent. Stamford, the second largest city in Fairfield County, comes in at 4.3 percent.
Waterbury, a similar-sized city 30 miles to the east, has struggled to recover from the recession and has a 7.5 unemployment rate.
While Danbury itself has an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent, the other towns comprising the market pull their weight with rates ranging from 3.2 to 4.2 percent. Other towns included in the Danbury LMA are Bethel, Bridgewater, Brookfield, New Fairfield, New Milford, Newtown and Sherman.
Don Klepper-Smith, chief economist and director of research at DataCore Partners, said during an economic forecast earlier this month that "Danbury continues to outperform" the county and state on many economic fronts.
The unemployment rate can be deceiving statistic as it does not factor in discouraged job seekers who are no longer actively looking for work. Danbury, however, also has the highest year-over-year job growth rate in the state, Klepper-Smith said.
"(Danbury) is poised for further growth in 2018 barring a domestic recession," he said.
Diversity is key
Newtown, with just over 14,000 people in its labor force, has an unemployment rate of 3.6 percent. First Selectman Daniel Rosenthal said the economic diversity of the town, as well as the area, plays a key role in putting people to work.
"Generally speaking, people seem busy and that's a good sign," he said. "Newtown has its own local industry and also benefits from some of the urban areas that are around. Economically, it's a very diverse region."
While the Danbury area has its share of relatively low-paying retail and service jobs, it also has a healthy mix of middle- and high-paying position. Klepper-Smith said the manufacturing and business & professional service industries are strengths of the region. Those are industries with high job and spending multipliers, he said, and "speak to a well-balanced regional economy."
The area's employers reflect that diversity. Western Connecticut Health Network, Danbury public schools, biotechnology company Boehringer Ingelheim, relocation services company Cartus and Western Connecticut State University are the major employers in the Danbury area.
Manufacturing looms large in the region as well with Pitney Bowes, Branson Ultrasonics, Belimo, Schaeffler (Barden), UTC and dozens of smaller companies making goods.
"We have a strong middle class here and that's critical to (a low unemployment rate)," said Prunty, a Danbury native.
With advanced manufacturing already seeing a labor shortage in the state, the Danbury area is taking steps to prepare tomorrow's workers in that field with programs at Naugatuck Valley Community College and Henry Abbott Technical High School.
"Long ago, cities had a specialty — Danbury had hats, Waterbury had brass. But our forefathers in the city were able to predict the collapse of the single-industry economy and attract other types of businesses to Danbury," Prunty said. "It's so diverse here. Danbury is not only about the mall."
According to the CT Data Collaborative, manufacturing ranks third in Danbury behind health care and retail as the industries with the most employees. Health care tops the list with nearly 9,000 jobs, followed by retail with about 8,000.
The retail factor
Greater Danbury is a retail hub with Danbury Fair mall and shopping districts that stretch for miles in areas such as Federal Road and Newtown Road. Danbury Fair provides an estimated 2,000 full-time positions. The city of Danbury alone also has nearly 500 restaurants, including fine and casual dining, delis and fast food.
The retail and restaurant scene attracts visitors from throughout the region as well as Westchester and Putnam counties in New York.
"We have I-84, I-684, Route 7 and the rail line. We're in a great location and serve as a destination and employment hub," Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said. "(The city government has) a good relationship with the business community and that helps. When those two entities work together, good things happen."

If only there were more musically-inclined stars who could make the transition to the big screen as painless as this... Hell, most of them can't even handle the small screen. With that in mind, here are the top six most self-conscious acting performances by musicians in a TV show.

Social media plays a big role in bringing customers to online stores for huge shopping days like the Black Friday. And the latest trend suggests that an enormous number of customers are making purchases through the popular social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. This makes it clear that online store owners cannot deny or delay their social media campaigns and marketing strategies.
According to statistics gathered by M-Connect Media, social media played a significant role in generating revenue on Black Friday 2014 and the value of the average order from Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter was estimated as $114.45, $93.20 and $90.74 respectively. Also, the combined sale value of social media sales of the Black Friday and Thanksgiving was equal to $74.6 million.
The most important factor is that social media keeps customers talking and even increase sales with every passing year. When compared to the previous year, Twitter showed 48% more conversions on Black Friday 2015 and eCommerce store owners discussed shopping details on Twitter and there a record breaking 3.5K tweets regarding customer services. Electronic products were best sold through the social media platforms in 2015.
Now, as per the reports by readypulse, there were 1.4 million tweets that talked about Black Friday 2015. This was much more than the 1.2 million tweets in 2014 and 2015 was all about Hashtags, deals and tempting campaigns with crowd pulling brand names. We can discuss the strategies that made people talking on the social networking sites which played a key role in generating a huge sale on Black Friday and Thanksgiving 2015.
Find here, the effects of social media on Black Friday and other big shopping days and how these platforms can help you generate more traffic, sales, revenue.
How can social media bring in huge sales on Black Friday 2016?
Use the Hashtags:
Hashtags played a big role in pulling people. Although, the customers are the decision makers but you can certainly make and keep them thinking about your products through the proper use of hashtags and other marketing tools. Also, campaigns like The Opt Outside made a mark by creating gigantic online sale without having an actual physical store. Simple yet untraditional marketing campaigns resulted in the big sale. #BlackFriday, #CyberMonday etc. should have a big place in your campaign.
Update customers on social media channels:
A good marketer knows how to use the social media channels to keep the customers engaged. Some of the biggest brands informed their customers about the opening and closing hours of the Black Friday through their social media channels and they drove far more sales than their competitors. This was also the best way to respond to customer queries, give them personal attention and help them in making purchases. You must use this technique this time to keep your customers stay updated.
Announce deals and discounts:
You must announce exclusive deals and discounts on various social media platforms. This will make people talking and create your brand image. You need to engross your customers by designing appealing campaigns for social media accounts for the Black Friday. You can expect a 10% conversion through this method. Remember, it will have an impact only when you plan it in advance and execute the plan on scheduled time.
Gauging customer preferences:
Big brands were meticulous in their communication with the customers and also observed their social media accounts to observe the nerve of the market. They actually offered products as per the customer's demands. With the help of engaging questions and customer shares and conversations, they found the demands and thus created the supply. The same could be done for shopping season of 2016.
User generated content:
Marketers find this as the finest way to score high on shopping seasons. Facebook posts, Vine videos, and selfies which talked about the brand and customer experience can be a big tool to generate further sales. Brands could retweet and share the best customer messages and experiences. This will build a rapport with the customers as well as pull in some more sales.
With this, we know the impact of social media on bringing in customers, sales, revenue. You cannot underestimate these powerful tools that like, share and talk about your products. Use these platforms to create curiosity, to resolve queries and to engage the customer for a long term association.
Black Friday 2015 proved that social media has a big impact on the customers and has changed the way they shop online. And you can apply the same formulas this year as well. All the Best!

There are 74 photographers who match your search.
What it takes for a good party photography.
Choosing the right photographer A photographer has only one chance to capture a moment. For that reason, it is important to choose the right event photographer and make sure that she/he is well prepared. Finding a professional event photographer is worth the effort. Of course, it is also allowed for the staff to take photos using their phones for that. This is great for instagram and other social media. Still, there is a huge gap between these snapshots and the quality of the pictures taken by a professional photographer. Good party photographer is a good communicator, sees details, is creative and has technical skills as well as legal knowledge. Always a good idea to ask for references, portfolio and instagram when choosing a photographer for the party. As well it is useful to ask about the equipment or post-production and delivery process. Give as much information as possible to the photographer: what working hours, what should be covered, how many formal shots, will he/she make photo book, who owns the rights afterward, etc. Truefie.com has party photographers from Amsterdam, Den Hague, Rotterdam and other cities. Key elements to a party photos The photographer should capture details, group photos, abstract motion, atmosphere, single portraits, candid shots and venue shots. Important to pay attention to different backgrounds and interesting graphics. Or if the venue does not have those, then maybe it is possible to create some backgrounds. Photo booth, video slideshows, and event theme related shots always give an extra value to people photography. It's trendy to use props like mirrors, balloons, costumes etc. or even hand a camera to someone else to make selfies in the center of the action. Party event definitely requires more atmospheric photos. If it is not possible to hire a photographer for a whole night, then maybe it's wise to ask him/her for only the most important hours and skip the introduction part and after party for example. Share all the information about the venue that's possible. It is really appreciated by the photographer. That way it is ensured they photographer knows to bring along the right lenses and other equipment. For example, let the photographer know how much natural light he can use. How is the stage light? Are there any special lighting effects? A lot of people don't want their pictures to be taken. It's reasonable for the photographer to chat a bit to ask for a permission and a bit of their time. If people are approached in a polite way then usually they give the permission because no one wants to seem impolite. Another thing if these pictures can be shown online or are they for private use.
Interview with Truefie photographer We asked Truefie.com photographer Simon from Rotterdam to answer some questions about party photography. He thinks " Photos where no one is posting are a must for me, the photo has to be organic. A glimpse of the party that was. When people look at my photos and say: "that's what the atmosphere was like!" I succeeded. I like to take a camera body that isn't too big, no excess equipment. Get a nice wide angle and mix that with a rough flash to make sure everything is in focus and I don't waste my time on that when I really want to get quick shots." While the majority of your shots will probably be candid shots you should also think ahead about what type of 'must have' sort of shots you want from the party. These might, for example, include some group shots for to make photo book, cake shots, blowing out candles, opening presents, party games or even some posed shots of the birthday boy or girl etc. Most likely some images will be shared later in instagram with friends and followers. Social media is a great way to reach wide audiences and connections abroad.
Some inspiring photography tips It's amazing to see how a room can be transformed in just an hour when there is a group of children in it. For this reason, some photos should be taken before the party actually starts. This might include some of those shots that focus in on different elements of the party but also shots of the birthday boy or girl dressed up and looking (and behaving) at their best. Also a few shots at the end of the party – they could make a humorous comparison series with before shots and of course if something gets messy. The focus of children's parties is generally the children – but the adults attending the party can actually present you with some fascinating shots too. Sometimes their reactions to what the children are doing can be quite fascinating and it's worth noticing that. Could be that pictures have to be prepared for the next morning press release or uploaded to instagram the same night. Momentum after an event is really important. How soon will the edited shots be delivered? It is important to discuss with the photographer about how the photos will be used later. Will they be needed for media, uploaded to instagram, collected in a photo album, used for promotion of the event in future years, etc? Does the photographer want to be credited? Talk through all the possible ways on photos can be used later. It is normal for the photographer to continue to own the rights to the photographs. But it is also normal to agree how these shots can be used by the client. You can book Simon directly through this link: https://truefie.com/en-NL/photographer/simon-nicolai
Truefie is a platform where you can conveniently compare photographers for every budget and can book a photoshoot for an honest price. We guarantee the quality of the shoot, handle the payment and transfer the usage rights of the photos to you.
