"This training has convinced me to "unlearn" everything I have been taught about parenting. Implementing only a fraction of what I have learned in the last five weeks has already made a difference in our home." –parent
♥ "Meredith has made a big difference for many parents who are struggling with the parenting of their children with behavioral problems due to early abandonment, neglect, and/or trauma.
As an attachment therapist who works primarily with families of adoption, I have found that she has streamlined and facilitated the therapeutic process for parents of children with traumatic backgrounds by laying the foundation for understanding and effective communication with their children. After taking Meredith's parenting class, my clients are much more able to grasp the tools and attitudes they need to be effective "therapeutic parents."
Meredith has inspired me with her constant pursuit of knowledge as a parent and a teacher. She is constantly studying, learning, growing , and evolving. She consistently works to be the best parent she can be, and she is a wonderful model for other parents, supportive, empathetic, nurturing, and deeply caring, yet able to set healthy boundaries.
Meredith is able to think very clearly about children with early hurts and their behavioral issues, and she is able to communicate those ideas to parents in a way that they can hear."

♥ "Meredith is a non-controlling, encouraging, instructor. Her insight, care, concern, help and openness was very helpful." –parent
♥ "I found the sessions to be extremely helpful. The combination of an opportunity for me to simply download all the mushed up worry, concern, aggravation and despair as well as some very helpful pointers from you about how to reframe a lot of what has been going on. The balance of listening, emphasizing and suggesting from you worked for me. I really got the sense that you knew what I was talking about, and your willingness to share from your own experience really gave me that feeling in the moment. I also appreciated that I did not get the feeling that you had "been there and done that", that it was all in the past, but rather that you had worked through a lot and that you are continually finding ways to think about and work with what your son brings to your family. The freshness of your thinking and engagement with the material you offered, from Dan Hughes, or the Positive Discipline piece, made it very accessible and appealing." –coaching client
♥ "Support from other parents going through similar challenges makes a big difference." –parent
♥ "I enjoyed our conversation very much. I always appreciate your insight. When I talked about the critical incidents we've had, you reminded me how much of that could be better when the parents are in a state of calm and able to be empathic. You remind me also to take a look at my son's positive qualities and build a positive story that I need to start telling.
A 'trauma coach' would've helped so much right from the start of adopting because there is so much even from Day 1 that we parents can be doing to nurture. Our world was turned upside down when we adopted two children at once. We went into survival mode. We set up schedules and worked with doctors and professionals of all sorts to help our children catch up physically and in speech and to begin to learn the ropes of American life. That work needed to be done but there was no one coaching us on building a relationship with our traumatized kids. So many things we could've done that would've made it easier at 16 months and 3 years and later. I wonder if there is a book on what to do each month and year after you adopt to build the attachment — a guide to healing. But even if there were a book, we would've needed a coach!" –coaching client
♥ "The sessions were quite informative. I could take what I learned that day and apply it right away." –parent
♥ "I cannot begin to describe how much I have learned not only about parenting but about myself as well. I am so much more comfortable handling situations that arise because now I understand why the behaviors arise." –parent

Angela Green Adds Experience to Solutions Advisors' Consulting Practice
When Angela first got into the senior living market 18 years ago, she quickly realized how much joy she derived from the many relationships she forged with fascinating residents and their families. She loved seeing them thrive in innovative programs, new relationships, and new environments. It was then that Angela immediately caught the start-up bug. Along the way she developed a love of coaching and growing salespeople, seeing them succeed and ultimately get promoted. She also took that same energy for achieving results to redevelopments, turn-arounds, and communities with sales leadership gaps across organizations large and small. In the last several years, Angela has grown passionate about exploring new markets, finding unmet niche needs for community residents, positioning communities to tell their story differently than anyone else, and leveraging technology, talent, training, and data to scale the approach across multiple campuses and product lines. All of it circles back to that root passion: serving fascinating residents with innovative services, products, and environments. Learn more about Angela >>
The proof is in the envelope
At one of our Midwest life care communities, we conducted an A/B split test of the target list to determine if a promotional envelope versus a white envelope would perform better. The promotional envelope had an event call out: "Wine & Chocolate Happy Hour – Your Invitation" and was compared against a plain white "control" envelope:
Bottom Line: We proved our marketing hypothesis that the promotional treatment would outperform the plain envelope.
Survey says…
At another one of our life care clients, active leads were sent an online interest survey developed by our creative team.
Bottom Line: When there are strong relationships with the prospects in the lead base, an email strategy such as this is not only cost-effective but produces high response rates.
Get what you pay for
At a Mid-Atlantic memory care community, we noticed that Facebook was generating almost no traffic to the community website. We began two Facebook ad campaigns in February to remedy this: One to promote a CEU event and one to promote a blog post on the symptoms of Alzheimer's.
Bottom Line: Utilizing paid Facebook advertising as opposed to only organic posts dramatically increased our reach compared to the prior month's averages.

Find Your Accord
The legendary Accord gets redesigned inside and out, featuring sophisticated materials, next-level intelligence and Hybrid model updates–once again shaking up the perception of midsize sedans.
When the first Accord hit American shores 40 years ago, it defined a new kind of car. Since then, it's won 34 Car and Driver's 10Best and now sells at a rate of about one every two minutes.
On March 20, the 10-millionth Honda Accord was built. Honda also released a two-motor hybrid powertrain that achieved 195 peak, concurrent horsepower and received a 50 mpg EPA city rating.
This year saw two important safety advances: Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ ACE™ body structure and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA™).
The Accord Hybrid emphasized performance with the Honda IMA (Integrated Motor Assist). It got better mileage than its 4-cylinder counterpart and still hit 0–60 in 6.7 seconds.
In 1998, the Accord became the first automobile to meet California's Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle standards, ushering in a new class of efficient, midsize cars.
The fifth-generation Accord included world-class safety features, low emissions and improved environmental considerations. A year later, it got its first V6.
This year, Accord became the first vehicle from a non-US-based automaker to earn the title of America's best-selling automobile.
The '88 Accord Coupe was built exclusively at the Ohio plant, making it one of the first domestically-assembled Japanese nameplate vehicles exported to Japan.*
In 1982, Honda produced the Accord at an all-new plant in Ohio making us the first Japanese automaker to build cars in America using domestic and globally-sourced parts.
Our first Accord was a hatchback that shocked the industry with its features, refinement and high sales. This was followed by a sedan model in 1979.

Vitamin B12 helps keep your body's nerve and blood cells healthy. It helps make DNA, the genetic material in your cells. It also helps prevent a type of anaemia that can make you feel tired and weak.
Normally, your stomach and intestines digest and absorb vitamin B12 from your food. Vitamin B12 deficiency happens when your stomach and intestines can't absorb the vitamin. This can happen if any of the following apply.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can also happen if you don't eat enough foods with vitamin B12. Most people in New Zealand get plenty of vitamin B12 from food. But some people might not get enough. These people include:
Vitamin B12 deficiency is diagnosed through a blood test. You can't treat vitamin B12 deficiency by diet alone. So if you are low in vitamin B12, your doctor will recommend vitamin B12 treatment.
How you replace your stores of vitamin B12 will depend on why your vitamin B12 level is low. If you are low in vitamin B12 because your body can't absorb it from food, you may need vitamin B12 injections. High-dose vitamin B12 tablets are an option for some people, although they are not publicly funded. These tablets provide a much higher dose of vitamin B12 than the standard vitamin supplements you can buy from a pharmacy or health food store.
When your vitamin B12 level is back to normal you may be able to stop the treatment. Although some people need ongoing vitamin B12 treatment. Discuss this with your doctor.
Other plant foods including grains, fruit and vegetables do not contain vitamin B12. Some people claim that seaweed, algae and fermented food such as tempeh contain vitamin B12. But these foods usually contain a form of vitamin B12 that our bodies can't absorb.
If you are 65 or older, your body will absorb the vitamin B12 added to fortified foods more easily than the vitamin B12 found in foods naturally.
These supplements are only suitable for maintaining vitamin B12 levels in people who can't get enough vitamin B12 from food. They are not suitable for treating vitamin B12 deficiency.
Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you what the most appropriate supplement is for you.

Article Text
Aims To investigate the global and regional relationships between peripapillary vessel density (pVD) and visual field mean sensitivity (VFMS) in glaucomatous eyes with and without high myopia in comparison with those between peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFLT) and VFMS.
Methods A total of 130 eyes from 130 patients with glaucoma consisting of those with and without high myopia were included in a consecutive manner. High myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent <−6.0 dioptres or axial length >26.5 mm. The pVD and pRNFLT were evaluated using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. VFMS was assessed using a linear unlogged 1/L scale. The vasculature–function or structure–function relationships were analysed by comparing the pVD or pRNFLT to the corresponding VFMS, according to Garway-Heath map regionalisation.
Results The global pVD-VFMS association was significantly stronger than the pRNFLT-VFMS association in glaucomatous eyes with high myopia (p=0.009). However, there were no significant differences between global pVD-VFMS and pRNFLT-VFMS associations in glaucomatous eyes without high myopia (p=0.343). Regionally, the pVD-VFMS association was significantly greater than the pRNFLT-VFMS association at the superonasal, nasal and temporal sectors (all p<0.05) in glaucomatous eyes with high myopia.
Conclusions The pVD assessment by OCT-A shows a better global and regional correlation with VFMS than a pRNFLT assessment in glaucoma patients with high myopia. The pVD may be a useful parameter in monitoring disease progression of highly myopic glaucomatous eyes.

A "Masshole" explains why he's voting yes on Question 3 in Massachusetts today.
A law that added gender identity to the state's anti-discrimination laws was put on the ballot. Voting "Yes" on the referendum keeps the law on the books, making it the pro-transgender side.
A group called "Massholes Not Assholes" released an ad featuring a man with a thick Boston accent telling everything he does that annoys others.
"We bang U-ies wherever we want — no blinker. We cut you off on the Pike, and then we slow it right the fuck down. And the second that light turns green, I'm honking," he says.
Related: A hate group used a store in an anti-LGBT ad. The store got them to stop.
But then he explains the difference between that and actually discriminating.
"You know, our forefathers originally granted us this right, to be loud, proud, occasionally obnoxious, and that freedom is so important to us. So, who are we to take away our neighbors' liberties or revoke the law that protects their right to live a life free from discrimination? Or be biased against someone based on the gender they identify with? We're Massholes, but we're no assholes."
The ad was created pro-bono by the agency MullenLowe working with "a group of trans-supportive citizens."
The official Yes on 3 campaign, though, distanced themselves from it.
"While it's intended to be a fun take on the ballot question, we recognize that this is a serious issue and the Yes on 3 campaign rejects name calling," a spokesperson for the campaign said in a statement. "Our campaign is about dignity and respect for all people, including voters who are right now deciding how to vote on Question 3."

Audi North Houston's Certified Used Audi Inventory
Offers Audi Quality at a Great Cost
In the automotive industry, a certification goes a long way. It upgrades used vehicles from foggy vehicle histories and undependable constructions to new car rivaled quality without the price. Certified pre-owned programs are the ideal fix for prospective buyers that are unsure of the used Audi inventory but do not have the means of affording the latest and greatest on the market.
While many brands offer the certified pre-owned option, not many provide as much as the Audi brand does. The Audi brand does more than have well-trained service associates complete thorough 300-point inspections, covering everything from brake quality to the luster of the emblem but provides its drivers with an array of perks like Roadside Assistance.
Save money without sacrificing quality with our
certified pre-owned Audi inventory here at Audi North Houston. Peruse our

It's career realignment time… again. As Jason Hiner writes in TechRepublic, "Most IT departments are a shadow of their former selves." They'll get even more shadowy as new technologies reshape the roles of everyone who's still left in the data center. So, Hiner wonders, where will the IT jobs of the future be? He sees them being in just three categories:
We're going to see most of traditional IT administration and support functions outsourced to third-party consultants. This includes a wide range from huge multinational consultancies to the one person consultancy who serves as the rented IT department for local SMBs. Many of the IT administrators and support professionals who currently work directly for corporations will transition to working for big vendors or consultancies in the future.
Project Managers
Most of the IT workers that survive and remain as employees in traditional companies will be project managers. They will not be part of a centralized IT department, but will be spread out in the various business units and departments. These project managers will also serve as the company's point of contact with technology vendors and consultants. If you look closely, you can already see a lot of current IT managers morphing in this direction.
By far, the area where the largest number of IT jobs is going to move is into developer, programmer, and coder jobs. While IT used to be about managing and deploying hardware and software, it's going to increasingly be about Web-based applications that will be expected to work smoothly, be self-evident, and require very little training or intervention from tech support.
Do you agree, and do you already fall into one of these three categories? If so, you may have a head start as the rest of us scramble to climb aboard one of these lifeboats.

FOX 8 Defenders: Many await indefinitely full refunds for cruise trips
NEW ORLEANS, La. (WVUE) - Those who booked a cruise for the summer months are likely still waiting for a full refund.
Chad Blancas said he booked a Carnival Cruise to Mexico in January, and cancelled in March amidst the crisis.
"Around March 23, I got the email from my travel agent. She said this is your options, a full 100 percent refund, or you can book for a future trip. So I agreed that I wanted the full refund due to the pandemic and everything going on," Blancas said.
Carnival Cruise Line notified him the refund would take four to six weeks.
"Four to six weeks go by, I don't hear anything. So I wait an extra week or so, still didn't hear anything. So I emailed the travel agent. I wound up emailing Carnival also," Blancas said.
Carnival responded, stating, due to a high number of requests, they are taking longer to process refunds.
"I haven't worked in about 60 days now, so I need the money. I'm moving in a couple of days, in about a week, so that money could go towards the deposit, it could go towards my rent, it could go towards putting food in the house. So, it's just really frustrating," Blancas said.
His travel agent said he's one of many customers she's trying to help either get refunded, or rebooked.
"I am calling the cruise lines and I am waiting on hold every other day or so, and I want to know if you haven't gotten it," Belinda Unbehagen, with Cruise & Tours Unlimitted, said.
She said 95% of her business comes from booking cruises which includes Carnival and Royal Caribbean.
"Some have been waiting for 60 days, 65, 70 days. Since March 12, that was my first cancellation," Unbehagen said.
She saID customers will likely get their money back in chunks.
"All of these different portions or attributes of your cruise fare are coming from different entities though carnival. So Carnival's pushing money out that they have, and as they get the other money, they push that through," Unbehagen said.
FOX 8 reached out to Carnival Cruise Line, which sent a statement saying in part, "Well over one million Carnival guests have been impacted by this extended pause in cruising, which dwarfs any disruption we've experienced in even the worst hurricane season...
We are committed to issuing refunds as soon as possible, but cannot give an approximate date at this time."
A spokesperson with Royal Caribbean International said refunds will take up to 45 business days.

Anyway to get police templates soon? That would be dam coll and usefullJune 10, 2015
also thos steps will replace the sheriff1-2 and the coastgurard, because the same named, default modells will be automaticlxy replaced if you add a new file with the same name therefore the els system will be confused on the taurus since the taurus thinks hes an crown vic.
5) Navigate to OpenIV/GTA V/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/patchday3ng/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf
6) Add all files (4) from :: officercornish/Enhanced LSSD 2015/sheriff :: folder into this .rpf
7) Add all files (2) from :: officercornish/Enhanced LSSD 2015/sheriff2 :: folder into this .rpf
So there need to be a way to add and not replace them (probably just changin names to sheriff 4 and 5. This way it might solve the ELS prolbem or delete all ELS. However since you are replacing the granger with a granger you wont need to worry about it. But the intrceptor will have rpoblems so i recomend to replace ths "sheriff" with the "sheriff 3(ford vic)".
another thing you could do is to replace the sheriff cruiser with the sheriff stanier you made in this update and make the interceptor the sheriff 3. (just switching the mod-interceptor with the mod-sheriff stanier). Since you are now replacing the sheriff vic with a sheriff vic (same modell and all) the lightning should be perfect. Therefore you might solve the problem with the sirens etc. not working on the mod-stanier while making the sheriff taurus to the car whith the mssing ELS system. It wont be a moajor change but you would have a prolem less and only 2 unsovled questions.
I thinkyoul have to find a way to add all vehicles (since this should add sheriff 3 but replace sheriff 1-2) while finsing a solution to acces and copuie the files for the stats and lightning sytem.
Of course im not an expert and the mod is nto running for me right now (not finished with the instalation) but it just came to my mind since I fiured out how the ELS´s will change depending on what car they are made for and what car is going to replace it
@officercornish. Alright i think i got through the readme:D. But my first kinda stuid tipp might be uesefull.. If the "sheriff" is the taurus and you follow the installation guide it sould replace all the files named the smae - therfore it wont be added and it will just replace the ford crown vic(sheriff cruiser). I think due to the different lightbars for the sheriff crusier it is going to replace it could have the els problem. Because if you replace it this way it will take over the old vehicle stats (it drives 10 mph slower then the other ford vic/intercepotr) because its somehow still an ford tuarus (vapid crusier). SO if there is a way to add it as a sheriff 4 with based on the police interceptor it should work - however i have no idea where files are place who control/effect the Lightning
@officercornish Ill just replaced it since i barely found any propper intruductions/tutorials for the openiv 2.6 so i done it like i was used to with gtaIV. But sure adding the vehicles is a lot better. Thanks for all the effort you put in there its truly awsome:)
I havent tested it out si far but took a quicklookat the readme(ina hurry). If the sheriff interceptor/ford taurus hast problems with the lightning system it might be because its designed to replace the sheriff cruiser and therefore somehow addapts the sheriff crusier pattern (which can vary since the sheriff crusier got 2 different types of lightbars by default). You can fix this by renaming all the "sherif...." files to "police3..." so it will replace the interceptor which is essentaly the same vehicle.
As i said - i ahvent teted it out so far. And my idea might be otterly stupid/obvious but probably thats what youve been looking for.
One quick question. With those meta files: will it now replace or add the cars?. Becasue i would like to replace the sheriff cars (since the white car looks a bit pale) but i dont want to delete my police3 - Interceptor for that
and yeah i would love too se a green or black n white update for the sheriff stanier since... nah the default skin is a bit shabby
And for the copy question: if i copy the vehilce rp as a path it wont let me paste it. I am only able to use the "add" function. But if i use "add" and fill inthe path its saying that the path is invalid
you are saying: copy the vehicle rpf from the vanilla uopdate rpf - i can only copy the vehicle rpf as a path how do i paste it in there?

A graduate of Germantown Academy, Fishman was active in his local youth group and a member of Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel in Elkins Park. His dream was to be in business for himself.
And so, he invested in Waterfront Square Condominium and Spa, later featuring the development on his Web site, NewCondosOnline.com, now a premiere resource, he says, for marketing new and preconstruction condo developments, representing more than 20 complexes in Philadelphia alone.
"My partner, Brent Gleeson, and I created NewCondosOnline about three years ago. We are not developers, and we don't sell condos. We are pretty much an advertising service, now the largest online condo advertising service for developers, representing about 1,300 different projects around the world," he claims.
But business alone can't quite satisfy the soul, remarks Fishman. For example, he and his partner are involved in all kinds of charities, like the one they founded called Tutorzilla, a new global tutoring site.
Says Fishman: "We hope to create the largest online tutoring site in the world, teaming up with governments to put together programs for underperforming children to offer online education and very affordable tutoring by certifying tutors here and in other countries as well."
So when his aunt, Lori Sklar, died from breast cancer in 2006, it seemed only natural for Fishman to join forces with his mother, Debra, and other family members in an organization called JACOB International, a foundation dedicated to educating Jewish women about their risk for breast and ovarian cancer, and raise money for genetic testing.
JACOB — which stands for Jews Against Cancer of the Breast — was founded by Lori Sklar before she passed away on Dec. 30. Her mission to save lives continues today through the efforts of her husband, Bill; and her sisters, Linda Kivitz and Debra Fishman. Brandon Fishman and his mother sit on JACOB's board, along with doctors, religious leaders and businesspeople.
Education Equals Power
According to Debra Fishman, "We were all motivated to keep this going because Lori developed breast cancer at the age of 47, as a result of a gene mutation. We felt that if she had known about her genetic predisposition, she would have taken positive measures to reduce her risks."
In fact, Debra Fishman continues, one out of 40 Ashkenazi Jewish women have a BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation, which gives them a 33 percent to 50 percent risk of developing breast cancer by age 50, and 56 percent to 87 percent by age 70.
Additionally, one out of 40 Ashkenazi Jewish women have a BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation, which gives them a 27 percent to 44 percent risk of developing ovarian cancer by age 70.
"A simple blood test will tell you if you have either gene mutation," she explains. "So our mission today is to educate women relative to the benefits of genetic testing in order to identify the gene mutations that might place them at risk. With this information, women can take proactive steps to reduce these risks.
"We recognize the sensitivity of the subject of genetic testing, but Lori's story is one that could have been avoided had she been properly educated. We want women to remember that knowledge is power!"
Lori Sklar was in the real estate business, and she and Brandon sort of helped each other as they pursued their dreams. Today, Brandon Fishman feels he "owes" his aunt in more ways than one.
"In the case of JACOB, it's become a very personal need to recognize and honor my aunt for who and what she was."
Adds Debra Fishman: "This organization is really my sister's legacy and a way of continuing on with something she was so involved with. We know that knowledge is power. And, just as the Talmud tells us, if you can save one life, you've saved the world!"

GBM InkShow: HP iPAQ 900 Series Business Communicator
While I was at the HP event in Berlin, I got an HP iPAQ 900 Series Business Communicator, aka a really nice PDA phone. This phone has it all – Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, touch screen, GPS, 3MP camera. Except that it isn't mine anymore. As you may remember, I got an Apple iPhone a few months back, so I have a nice new phone. My husband, on the other hand, has been using my cast-off phone, an i-mate JAMin, for quite a while, so he got the spandy new iPAQ to use. Following in the footsteps of Thomasin and Kathi, my husband David is helping to do a review of the iPAQ 910c.
The iPAQ 910c, as it is known in the US, is (was?) scheduled to launch today in "select markets." I haven't been able to find any announcements, though, in any of the major geographies.

Loretta Lynn (Born Loretta Webb April 14, 1932) is an American country-music singer-songwriter and author born in Butcher Hollow, near Paintsville, Kentucky, USA, to a coal-miner father. At the age of 15 she married, and soon she became pregnant. She moved to Washington state with her husband, Oliver Vanetta Lynn, Jr. (1926–1996), nicknamed "Doo". Their marriage was tumultuous; he had affairs, and she was headstrong; their life together helped to inspire her music.
On their 6 year anniversary, at the age of 21, (1953), Lynn's husband bought her a $17 Harmony guitar. She taught herself to play and when she was 24, on her wedding anniversary, he encouraged her to become a singer. She worked to improve her guitar playing, started singing at the Delta Grange Hall in Washington state with the Pen Brothers' band, The Westerners, then eventually cut her first record (Honky Tonk Girl) in February 1960. She became a part of the country music scene in Nashville in the 1960s, and in 1967 charted her first of 16 number-one hits (out of 70 charted songs as a solo artist and a duet partner) that include "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)", "You Ain't Woman Enough", "Fist City", and "Coal Miner's Daughter".

Country music radio stations often refused to play her songs. Banning 9 of her song. But Loretta pushed on to become "The First Lady of Country Music". Her best-selling 1976 autobiography book was made into an Academy Award-winning film, Coal Miner's Daughter, starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones, in 1980. Her most recent album, Van Lear Rose, was released in 2004, produced by Jack White, and topped the country album charts. Loretta has received numerous awards in country and American music.

Should Tulare councilman pay for his city-funded trip, if he campaigned for Assembly?
A question about how Tulare City Councilman Jose Sigala spent a city-funded trip campaigning will have to wait for an answer.
At the Oct. 2 meeting, Carlton Jones said fellow council member Sigala used part of the conference to campaign for the 26th District Assembly seat. Jones said he saw Sigala distribute campaign materials during the League of Cities conference.
Jones, who ran for the same assembly seat four years ago, said that didn't sit well with him.
"I didn't think it was in good taste to have the city pay for someone's campaign trip," he said.
Sigala, running as a Democrat, is taking on the controversial Assemblyman Devon Mathis (R-Visalia).
Jones requested council members ask Sigala to pay for his trip and charge it to his campaign. Jones said he wanted Tulare City Council to take up the item at this week's council meeting, in an effort to be transparent, he said.
The discussion item was not included in this week's meeting agenda, though. Jones said the item was denied by Mayor David Macedo.
During this week's meeting, council members voted to include the item on the Nov. 20 agenda. Council's first meeting in November is on election day. Council members agreed on a light agenda for that day.
Macedo said he wanted council to take up the item in a "moving forward" manner, not dwelling on the past.
Tulare paid about $1,200 for Sigala to attend the conference. Besides Jones and Sigala, Willard Epps, interim city manager, and Janice Avila, the city's human resources director, attended the September conference in Long Beach.
Previously, Jones had questioned a trip Sigala took to Sacramento when board members were requesting a state audit into Tulare Regional Medical Center's finances.
Jones' beef with Sigala continued this week, after Jones claimed Sigala attended only four of 14 Tulare County Homelessness Taskforce meetings.
Jones agreed to take Sigala's spot as a representative.
Sigala said the meeting are hard to attend with his schedule.
"I would welcome (Jones taking over)," Sigala said.
To address the homeless issue, Tulare City Council set aside $15,000 in funding.
"The homelessness issue has been a huge one," Jones said.

Okay so…since my last post…
So I still have diabetes. They have switched my day time insulin to NOVO-log and it doesn't work as well. My sugars have been in the high 200's and 300's. It should be between 100-120. But they are working on that I guess. My diabetic retinopathy has gotten a bit worse. I had the one laser treatment in my right eye and two in my left. There was too much blood in my right to do another treatment. So they gave me a little over a month to see if the blood and broken veins would clear up on their own. But not only did it not clear up but it got worse & it started in my left eye. So now I am legally blind in my right eye and my vision is going in my left… Plus I have a level 4 cataract in my right eye. So I was scheduled for surgery on June 11th to have all of that removed from my right eye. But until today I did not have the green light for surgery because of my heart failure.
Now…the anemia. I am still severely anemic but I finally got in to see the hematologist at the cancer center. He seems to think my very irregular and severe cycles are the cause of the anemia. He also thinks the cyst on my ovary might be the cause of the bad cycles. So, Now I am getting 6 Iron infusions over 6 weeks. I had one last Thursday and after it was over I had a reaction and was in terrible pain on my feet and my hands and lower arms. But I felt amazing this whole week after. I was putting up tables and chairs and walking all over the place and never had to stop to catch mt breath! I have 5 more scheduled on the next 5 Thursdays. Hopefully the reaction won't happen again or they will at least give me more pills to counter act. The hematologist also wants to make sure I get in to get my cyst removed soon. I was denied for surgery on April 30th by my cardiologist because my heart wasn't strong enough.
TODAY I had an appointment with my cardiologist and he approved me for surgery on my eye this Friday and also said I could have surgery to get the cyst removed! YAY! YAY! YAY! So after my eye surgery I will talk to my GYN and be able to reschedule that surgery too!
Oh and the bestest news ever! The nurse practitioner I saw while my cardiologist was on vacation said that as soon as my anemia gets under control…my heart should fix itself!
SO……I get the eye surgery which fixes my eyes better than they've been since 1987 an I get the iron which is making my heart stronger and helping with the anemia which allows me to have surgery to remove the cyst WHICH will hopefully fix the bad cycles AND the anemia and then my heart will fix itself and I will feel better than I have in years!!! I am so excited that God is using all this shit to turn my life around and make me better than before!!!!!
Oh oh oh!!!! And the icing on the cake people! I told mu OB/GYN that the doctors i had in 1987 when I had cancer, told my parents that , if I lived past 10, I would never be able to have kids. She asked me a few questions and said that we've not been able to get pregnant because of this cyst and she sees no medical reason why we should not be able to get pregnant after it's removed!
Holy Moses!!! Prepare yourselves world!! There could be a min Pomeroy coming your way in the next year or two!!!!

SEO or search engine optimization refers to techniques and practices used to influence a website's ranking position in the search engine results page. Unlike traditional SEO, local SEO efforts are a lot more nuanced. There's a lot more detail involved, more work, various elements you need to consider and, of course, a greater chance of messing it up. When executed properly, local SEO allows potential clients to find your business more easily. That said, here are 6 SEO tactics you should use to take over the local market.
1. Title and meta tags are still important
Title tags and meta tags represent specific HTML elements which can be customized to reflect your website's content. They are both displayed in the search results, with the acceptable length for the title being around 50-60 characters and 160-200 characters for the description tags. Titles and descriptions need to be compelling, descriptive and unique, or else you risk getting a low click-through rate. For reaching local customers, it is best to include the name of the city and the area where your business resides, as well as the targeted keyword which should be placed close to the beginning of the title tag.
2. Claim the Google My Business page
Claiming the Google My Business, as well as Bing Places for Business pages is crucial for local businesses. Not only is it free, but it provides a good level of exposure, which is imperative for driving local traffic. Claiming the Google My Business page is simple, all you have to do is visit the GMB page and go through a simple verification process. This process is used to let Google know your business is legitimate. Once claimed, you have to optimize the page using a proper description and details such as business hours, categories, payment types, etc.
3. Optimizing for online directories
According to a study performed by Google, 80% of consumers use the search engines to perform local searches. Unfortunately, most small businesses simply don't claim their local business listing and miss an excellent SEO opportunity. Green Web Marketing experts recommend that you list your business consistently and correctly in various business directories such as City search, Merchant Circle, and Yelp. Your NAP or name, address and phone number need to be correct and present on various listings, as well as on citation data aggregators such as Acxiom, Factual, Infogroup and Neustar. Any discrepancies in the data, such as abbreviations, misspellings, and wrong numbers are detrimental for local SEO, so make sure to double check the information you provide.
4. Use a local schema markup
Schema markups, or structured data markups, are used to provide major search engines with additional information regarding your business. This includes any products and services you're offering, reviews your business has collected, etc. Schema markups are an excellent addition to doing local SEO, as they help Google's spiders to better determine exactly what your content is all about. Google is offering a dedicated, Structured Data Testing Tool which you can use to check if your schema markup is correctly implemented. For those who don't have enough experience, or simply don't like coding, there's another Google tool called Data Highlighter, which lets you mark your content up by using a mouse.
5. Work on getting (positive) reviews
Google My Business page and your business' Facebook page are the two single most important places you should work getting reviews on. As most people use social media on a daily basis, having positive reviews on your profile can actually help drive traffic to your business. Google My Pages is equally important; as the reviews, you collect are displayed in the search engine results page whenever someone tries to look up your business. You can use various marketing software tools to monitor and maintain your reputation on social media, such as Reputation Loop, Trust Pilot, and Vendasta.
6. Use PPC for advertising
Getting your website to rank high takes a lot of time and while you wait you can use paid search to significantly boost your business profile. As a local entrepreneur, you can use PPC, or pay-per-click ads to target specific keywords your local customers are likely to type in the search bar. Once they do, the results should display your business at the very top. Simple phrases cost more than longer words, and as such are prone to a lot of competition. This is why it's recommended to focus on a long tailed keyword which precisely targets the customer base. This way, you not only save money but also attract just the right kind of consumers.
There are more local SEO tactics which were not covered in this article, such as link building and advanced local strategies which help both with traditional and local SEO efforts. However, these techniques represent the utmost necessity when it comes to comes to local SEO efforts. If properly implemented, these practices create an excellent foundation on top of which you should proceed building the rest of your local SEO campaign and absolutely dominate the local market.

Cape May
We've gone to Niagara Falls, Boston, Atlantic City, and this weekend we headed to Cape May, NJ for the day - a little tourist town on the beach with lots of Victorian-style homes and white picket fences.
As you well know, I'm a house junkie, so I was doing a lot of gawking! Excuse the plethora of pictures!
Adorable Victorian homes in a row. Not my style, but still awfully cute!
And we got to explore the beach a little bit...
Yes, my belly is starting to round out very nicely, thank you very much.
We visited Cape May Winery and enjoyed walking around the vineyards and relaxing on their beautiful deck.
One the way home, we got to see a beautiful sunset from the airplane!
Landing at the Lancaster Airport - what a gorgeous flight we had! Thanks so much Mark & Mary!
By the way, thank you to everyone for your kind comments and concern from my last post! It's taking a little while to get over the stress of the whole situation, but I'm feeling so incredibly blessed! Thank you friends!!

Beatboxers, singers, and club performers, your Loop Station has arrived—introducing the RC-505, a unique and powerful live performance tool that's perfect for next-generation loop artists.
Beatboxers, singers, and club performers, your Loop Station has arrived—introducing the RC-505, a unique and powerful live performance tool that's perfect for next-generation loop artists. In a compact tabletop device, you have easy fingertip control of five stereo phrase tracks and various loop playback behaviors, plus INPUT FX and TRACK FX that deliver a wide range of real-time processing options for dynamic, expressive sound creation. Just plug in a mic, instrument, or other audio source, and then ride the intuitive panel controls to build and mix some amazing loops! The RC-505 also supports computer integration via USB and operation with external pedals and MIDI, opening a world of advanced looping possibilities for all types of musicians.
The RC-505 features five stereo phrase tracks that can play simultaneously, the most yet in a BOSS Loop Station. Independent record/overdub/play and stop buttons for each track let you capture and control loop performances with your fingertips, and dedicated volume faders allow you to mix loop levels on the fly. Each track can have its own playback mode (multi, single, one-shot, reverse, etc.) and tempo sync settings, providing an unlimited range of creative looping behaviors.
With the large selection of built-in effects, it's easy to enhance your sounds as you perform. INPUT FX such as ROBOT and VOCODER create unique, dramatic sound textures for recording loops, while TRACK FX like VINYL FLICK and BEAT REPEAT provide dynamic DJ and sampler effects for real-time processing of phrase playback. Six dedicated buttons—three each for INPUT FX and TRACK FX—can be loaded with your favorite effects, giving you one-touch on/off access while looping. In addition, effects parameters (filter cutoff, effect depth, etc.) can be tweaked in real time with the INPUT FX and TRACK FX knobs. Global compressor and reverb effects are also available for processing the overall sound output.
99 phrase memories provide onboard storage for phrase track data, various playback and effects settings, and more. A combination of frequently used settings can be saved as a User Set, which you can easily load to quickly reconfigure any phrase memory, even in the heat of performing. 85 different onboard rhythms offer backing for loop recording, with a large selection of odd-measure beats for advanced looping. The rhythm part can be routed to the rear-panel PHONES jack only, giving you a dedicated click track for monitoring purposes.
The RC-505 is outfitted with a number of simultaneous inputs, allowing you to capture and mix a variety of different audio sources as you build loops. There's an XLR microphone jack with phantom power, mono/stereo ¼-inch inputs for guitars, synths, or other instruments, and an AUX mini-jack for connecting a music player, smart phone, or other stereo device. Via USB, you can plug into your computer and import/export WAV audio phrases, great for loop archiving or loading up RC-505 phrases with backing tracks or sounds for sampler-style triggering. The RC-505 also functions as a USB audio/MIDI interface, making it simple to integrate with your favorite DAW software for audio recording, MIDI sync, and more.
With the RC-505, you have the ability to set up customized real-time controls for the way you like to loop. You can specify up to eight different functions and operate them in a variety of ways—with front-panel controls, an external expression pedal or foot switches, and/or various MIDI Control Change messages—extending your command of looping and many other operations. The eight control assignments are stored with phrase memories, allowing you to create and recall custom setups for different songs and performing situations.

Bangkok (Thaiand), 9 March 2010 - With the support of UNODC, the Turkish International Academy against Drugs and Organized Crime (TADOC) organized a workshop on 18 and 19 February 2010 to assess the possibility of introducing computer-based training courses throughout South-Eastern Europe.
The workshop was officially opened by Deputy Director of TADOC Iikay Akay, UNODC Regional Programme Coordinator for South-Eastern Europe Carla Ciavarella and Rod Curtis, Senior Law Enforcement Advisor at the UNODC regional centre in Bangkok.
Participants in the workshop included law enforcement officials from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia.
Computer-based training allows law enforcement agencies throughout the world to build the capacity of their staff in their own language on stand-alone machines.
The aim of the workshop was to provide law enforcement officials with an opportunity to view the computer-based training facility at TADOC, learn about its development, significance and its strategic role in the programme's target area entitled "Building the capacity of frontline law enforcement agencies and financial intelligence units through the e-learning platform of computer-based training".
TADOC is home to the only computer-based training facility in Europe and its staff passed on their experience to their colleagues from the participating countries.
"The computer-based training programme represents an interactive and customized learning tool which has encountered high acceptance and positive feedback from various law enforcers in different parts of the world," said Rod Curtis. "The newly established centralized unit in Bangkok will help monitor the activities in the over 300 computer-based training centres across 52 countries, and we hope to be able to assist many other Governments to benefit from this tool."
As a result of the workshop, it was agreed that Montenegro would be the first South-Eastern European country to host the pilot computer-based training programme.

Living under the sway of ideas …
The idea that some 'ideas' (books, ideologies, beliefs) should remain 'uneditable', is perhaps a good example of a bad idea.
Tolerance for 'intolerance' is perhaps another bad idea.
Some ideas are not intrinsically 'bad', they may have served a purpose some time ago, but we have now replace them with better ideas; the 'flat earth idea' might serve as such an example. Astrology has been supplanted by astronomy; alchemy by chemistry, etc.
In a bygone era, when we saw some people 'over there' that looked different than us, it might have been a very good idea to stay away and avoid contact with them. Nowadays though, our lives are usually improved by interacting with people who look and behave differently; diversity makes the world a far more interesting and wonderful place.
Ideas are wondrous things; they simply 'appear' in consciousness - so we can hardly be 'blamed' for having them. Thoughts and actions though … that may be another matter … (philosophical discussion required on this point).
There are bad ideas (or perhaps outmoded might be a better word) that we should shed; and good ideas that we should adopt. There are also just 'new' ideas; ideas we can try on, test, subject to rigour … and see how things turn out. It's a wondrous, calamitous, sometimes dangerous, always interesting and ongoing experiment.

Poll: Majority of Republicans support rights for same-sex couples
A survey of more than 1,000 Republicans by Public Policy Polling shows that self-identified members of the party support legal rights for same-sex couples even if they aren't backing gay marriage.
PPP compiled the results from national polling in March, April and May. The findings come on the heels of four national polls showing the majority of the American public is in support of gay marriage for the first time.
The poll asked Republicans, "Which of the following best describes your opinion on gay marriage: gay couples should be allowed to legally marry, or gay couples should be allowed to form civil unions but not legally marry, or there should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship?" Twelve percent said that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry, 39 percent said they should be allowed civil unions, and 48 percent said that gay couples should have no legal rights. That means 51 percent of Republicans polled support relationship rights for same-sex couples.
Eighty-nine percent of liberal Republicans support either gay marriage (48 percent) or civil unions (41 percent). Fifty-seven percent of conservative Republicans said there should be no rights for same-sex couples. Still, 42 percent said there should be civil unions (35 percent) or full marriage (7 percent) for gay couples. That trend was almost identical among those that identify with the tea party.
Young Republicans were much more likely to support rights for same-sex couples. Among 18- to 29-year-olds, 56 percent supported either same-sex marriage or civil unions; among 30- to 45-year-olds, that number was 54 percent; 50 percent for 46- to 65-year-olds, and 48 percent for those over 65.
Republicans in the Midwest and the South were more likely to oppose rights for same-sex couples at 49 percent and 54 percent, respectively.
And the less money a family makes the more likely they were to oppose rights for same-sex couples. Fifty-seven percent of those making less than $30,000 a year opposed any rights for same-sex couples, while only 33 percent of those making more than $100,000 supported a complete ban on any rights. Thirty percent of those under $30,000 supported civil unions or same-sex marriage, while 66 percent of those making more than $100,000 support it.

For Beginners, Big data is the term for a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.
This stream is seeing a host of activity with most major businesses looking to enhance their overall business strategies and leverage from the data which until recently was ignored or forgotten. From Retail Companies to Hotels all these businesses are looking to enhance customer experience and ensure effective sales and focus on increased revenues.
The many applicability areas of Big data are still being researched and discovered. India is one of the frontrunners into Big data with a medium but brilliant talent pool who can create magic with numbers, we analyzed some numbers and here they are.
All IT majors are coming up with various software to tackle the Big data boom. Biggies like IBM, Oracle, Fujitsu etc have their own software offerings based on the customer need. Hadoop by Apache software is widely usedTalent Pool in India
We don't have a huge number of people who know Big Data, Since the Big data space is evolving we estimate the numbers to rise every year.
The Demand and Supply tops in Bangalore followed by other cities. But other cities are catching up, the demand is expected to grow and so will the supply. A lot of people are looking to get into Analytics, we get a lot of calls from candidates enquiring about job opportunities in the Big Data/Analytics space.Compensation Analysis
Compensation department is very generous to data scientists, but the developer population which works with the scientist to create cutting edge Big data software are paid slightly lower. There is no particular pattern of pay for the scientists. They start with an Avg Pay of about 8-10 lacs and can even earn a crore with 10-15 years of experience. The below table shows the pay package of the IT crowd who work with the scientists

| I just obtained a womens 24" cruiser that I am in the process of restoring. Its most identifying features are the triple-plated fork crown, the twin top tube, which is of course curved down towards the crank, and on the chainguard i could faintly make out the word "DELUXE" but whatever was in front of it I couldnt see....The bikes original color was a beautiful teal green color, but had been painted red and then blue over the years. I dont have a picture right now of the frame but i will post one soon if no one knows what this might be. thanks for your help!

|I have what I believe to be a 1972 Schwinn Typhoon frame that needs a seatpost. From eyeballing it, it looks a bit smaller than a 1 inch internal diameter seattube. Does anyone know for sure the size post I need or a site where I can find the correct size. I hate to buy something online based on a guestimate that it takes 7/8" post. Below is the serial number stamped on the rear wheel drop out. Thanks for any help or recommendations.

Actually I'm really a bit miffed, right now: in the two weeks since this bike showed up, someone has pilfered the seat (an original two-tone with the 'S') and replaced it with a torn banana from an old Stingray, so it momentarilly has high-rise bars to match ;) I'll see if I can borrow a caliper from my LBS...

These parcels were purchased under the Floodprone Land Acquisition Program. This program enables purchase of floodprone properties to protect public safety and preserve natural floodplain characteristics. In this case fee title ownership was acquired. No restoration or management plans have been developed, however as an upstream site in a rural area, the acquisition preserves natural over bank flood storage and natural floodplain characteristics to minimize potential downstream flooding and protect riparian areas. Closure of the gravel pits will enable restoration of natural sedimentation and flow characteristics.
This is a cost-effective strategy to remove people and property from exposure to flood hazards and loss of life, as well as property damage. Preservation of flood water storage capacity in floodplains minimizes future flood damages, reduces the need for structural flood and erosion protection, facilitates groundwater recharge, creates passive-use recreational opportunities, maintains urban open space corridors, and preserves and enhances riparian habitat and corridors of natural biological diversity. This program complements the goals of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan to preserve riparian areas.

(Pocket-lint) - Google is planning to add Android screen mirroring to Chromecast "very soon", allowing users to stream their phone screen to a television set.
It was found in Android 4.4.1 code by Koushik Dutta, co-founder of Cyanogenmod. It's not clear when Google plans to release the feature, but small code snippets are usually an indication of features to come.
Currently Chromecast, available on Google Play for $35, allows mirroring from a Chrome browser tab on laptop or desktop to a television, but so far on Android devices it's been locked down to supported apps like Netflix, HBO Go, and others.
Without the help of Google, Dutta and his team are working on a third-party solution to stream your Android phone's screen through the Cyanogenmod software, a customer Android firmware. Google limitations may be slowing it down, however.
"Unfortunately that API is not available to anyone but Google and the OEM," Dutta said. "Similar solutions to different hardware can't be built (Apple TV, etc)."
Until Chromecast support is released soon, the only way for Android users to stream their phone's screen to a television is through Miracast, a peer-to-peer wireless screencast standard formed via Wi-Fi Direct connections in a manner similar to Bluetooth. There are several dongles on the market, starting as low as $25. Android support was added in 2012.
On the other side of the competition, iOS allows users to stream their iPhone or iPad screen over AirPlay to an Apple TV.
A mobile screen streaming feature on Android would put the platform on a par with iOS in this regard.
Chromecast, measuring just 2 inches in length, runs a simplified version of Chrome OS and is designed to be completely cross-platform, working with Chrome, Windows, Mac, Android, iPad and iPhone. It connects to your TV via HDMI to supply the video and audio, and will connect to your home Wi-Fi network to pick up that content from its source online.

How to Handle Anger That Is Justified
I'm Dr. Ryan Fuller and I practice in New York City. I work a lot with anger management clients. Frequently I have clients ask me how to handle anger when it's justified. The thing that I try to make clear to clients right off the bat is that I, in fact, believe all anger is valid. That is, the experience, or the feeling of anger is always valid, given the particular situation and the beliefs the person might be having about the situation. With that said, the behaviors they engage in while angry may or may not be good ideas, in terms of their goals and their principles. First, a lot of people struggling with anger management do find themselves angry, not so much as a function of the actual trigger, the activating event, which might seem disproportionally small compared to their emotional reaction.
If that's the case, it's important that we assess their beliefs. In a case like that, although I don't use the language, someone might say, "It's not really justified." What they really mean is their beliefs are out of sync with reality and not logical. They're not really seeing it in an appropriate way. If that's the case, we want to make sure they change those beliefs. At the same time, there are plenty of instances where we can come across someone who's experiencing anger because, in fact, there's a transgression that is so severe or the violation is against such an important standard, that the anger is still there. When that's the case, again what's critical is that we validate the feeling, but we make sure that the behaviors that follow are pro-social or in line with the person's goals. What we really want to do is have that person say, "Okay, I'm angry. Here's why." and then realistically decide, "What can I do to change the situation?" That might involve something they take on personally, by trying to problem solve. It might be assertively communicating with the party who's violating that standard, very clearly and constructively, "This is the problem that I have with the behavior that occurred. Here's what I'd like to see in the future, and here are the consequences if that behavior doesn't change." There certainly are times when we might be really thinking rationally and we're still angry. When that's the case, it's critical that we communicate clearly about it, and actively problem solve.

Botanical expedition
A botanical expedition is a scientific journey or voyage designed to explore the flora of a particular region. The expedition could be specifically designed for exploring the flora, or this could have been a part of studying the natural history of the region. A naturalist or botanist was charged with drawing and describing the flora, collecting specimens of unknown plants in a plant press, and identifying potential economically important plants.[1] On botanical expeditions funded by governments, the plants were often collected by the person in the field, but described and named by a government sponsored scientists at botanical gardens and universities. For example, many of the species collected on the Lewis and Clark Expedition were described and named by Frederick Traugott Pursh.[2]
