From the Pasture Golf Mailbag
"Pasture Golf. I love it! My friend has a very similar setup here on Vashon Island, WA. While his course is far smaller he's right on par with you (pun intended). His course is large enough for a pitching wedge or 9-iron. It's also funny you mention the Tee Time Cafe in Grants Pass. I've actually been there (several years back). Great work putting this out for other people to find..." - Dave, 4/13/05

Mark Stevens
Class of 2007
Major/Minor: Economics/Political Science
Since graduating from Washington College, I have been fortunate to achieve great success in my academic and professional careers. Washington College was instrumental in preparing me for graduate studies at the University of Delaware after graduating in 2007. I was fortunate to graduate from Delaware in the Spring of 2009 with a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree.
After completing my graduate studies, I was selected through a highly competitive selection process for a two-year Administrative Fellowship at the National Eye Institute on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. In July 2011, I successfully completed the Fellowship, and am now working full-time as a budget analyst managing the $70 million dollar intramural research program budget for the laboratory, cores, and units conducting scientific research on eye and vision-related areas of interest to the biomedical research community. In addition to working full-time, I am currently pursing my Doctorate in Public Administration at the University of Baltimore on a part-time basis. I am in my second year of study with an expected graduation in May 2014.
Below is a link to an interview I participated in as a former NIH Administrative Fellow and now Budget Analyst at the National Eye Institute.

M2 – 31m and Second Dive
Time - 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
This is a 2 dive day so no coming back to port, firstly we dive the amazing M2 then we have lunch with a surface interval of about 90 mins and then we have a second dive on either the James Fennell, Aerials or cannon ball run.
Extra dive cylinders can be rented from Skindeep or Underwater Explorers based in the marina.
Info on the M2
In 1927 HMS M2 became the worlds first undersea aircraft carrier – a submarine carrying a small two-seater seaplane in a watertight hangar. The seaplane, which had folding wings, was launched by catapult off a runway on the deck. When it landed near the sub, it was hoisted on board and into the hangar by a specially designed small crane. The M2s crew was proud of the speed with which it could launch the little floating plane. Rising to periscope depth, the submariners would check around for enemy ships, surface, open the hangar door and catapult the plane off on its flight. They were constantly trying to beat their own speed record. It was this speed which was to kill all the crew. The M2 dived at 10.11am during exercises off Portland on 26 January, 1932, and disappeared. On 29 January all hope was officially abandoned for the 60 crew aboard. It took eight days to find her. The first divers discovered that the hangar door was open with the plane still inside. The hangar had apparently been opened while she was still underwater. A salvage operation retrieved the plane, but after 11 months and a total of 1500 dives involving 26 Royal Navy divers, the Admiralty had to admit defeat over the submarine. On 8 December, 1932, the M2 was left to rest forever on the seabed off Portland.
A comprehensive wreck tour is available

The Pearson web site keeps telling me that the Course ID mehrtens30799 does not exist. Is this the correct Course ID?
Yes, it is the correct Course ID, but 99 times out of 100 when this happens, the student is attempting to enter that Course ID into masteringbiology.com and not pearsonmastering.com. As I said in class on the first day, these are two separate systems (both owned by Pearson) and what works in one system WILL NOT work in the other. First and foremost, make sure you're logging into pearsonmastering.com and then try our valid Course ID. If you continue to have issues after that, please do a screencapture and send me the pictures of what it looks like when you have trouble. It helps tremendously in getting to the bottom of what's going on.

About Aaron McCollough
English Literature Librarian, University of Michigan
We're already half way through April, which is (as we all know) National Poetry Month. Here at the University of Michigan, we have a very well regarded graduate program in creative writing, and I'm happy that the library has been enthusiastic about partnering with the English Department to highlight the poetry talents of the faculty. This year, we put on three poetry events in our library gallery space. Two of the events were poetry readings (featuring Keith Taylor, Tung-Hui Hu, Raymond McDaniel, Ken Mikolowski, Linda Gregerson, Laura Kasischke, A. Van Jordan, Benjamin Paloff, and Cody Walker). The other event was a panel discussion on the subject of "poetry and difficulty," featuring professors Benjamin Paloff, Douglas Trevor, and John Whittier-Ferguson. All of the events were well attended, and they seemed to produce real excitement in the audience. I was pleased to get many people from the university community into the library for this and to cast focused attention on poetry for a few days.
April isn't over, but our semester is, which means we probably won't be doing much more for poetry month here this year. My wheels are turning for next year, however. I wonder what others are up to. Do you do special things to observe National Poetry Month at your library? If so, I'm sure many of us would love to hear about it (and maybe steal some of your ideas…).
If you're still working on Poetry-month-related programming, here are some other interesting idea sources:
* The Academy of American Poets Official National Poetry Month pages
— including this nice list of "30 Ways to Celebrate"
— & including this nice calendar of events
* We're six days off form "POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY," and easy guerilla-style way to celebrate
*The Poetry Foundation also has lots to offer on the subject
* This may not be a very good poem, but it does talk about moustaches:
NB: Video of all of three of this years' MLibrary National Poetry Month events was captured, and it will be posted on the library's website as soon as I have all of the consent forms back from the participants.

- Name: Cristina Nunes
- Project Title: Hotel Perl
- Synopsis: A website where Perl mongers can: register and submit their vacant space to receive other Perl mongers traveling, search for a place to stay at another Perl monger's, announce they're looking for a place to stay at a given city/country (so that people who aren't making their spaces public can still invite them over; this is to make the website useful for people who don't want to open their doors to just anyone they don't know)
Cristina Nunes
Project Title
Hotel Perl
A website where Perl mongers can:
- register and submit their vacant space to receive other Perl mongers traveling
- search for a place to stay at another Perl monger's
- announce they're looking for a place to stay at a given city/country (so that people who aren't making their spaces public can still invite them over; this is to make the website useful for people who don't want to open their doors to just anyone they don't know)
Benefits to the Perl Community
Better interaction between Perl mongers.
Cut expenses when attending Perl events like conferences, workshops and/or social/technical monger meetings.
Bring the Perl community closer together by allowing more and more Perl mongers to attend venues by cutting expenses on lodging.
- register
- invite a monger (to join the website)
- personal profile
- submit a space
- search for a space
- request a space
- accept/reject a request
- review a space
- define necessary services for the project to start (web, smtp, database)
- repository (git)
- define paths
- define and implement DB model
- authentication
- invites
- profile edition
- adding and editing spaces
- search
- submit request for crash-space
- moderate request (refuse/accept)
- submit reviews
- accept/reject space reviews
Project Details
A more detailed description.
The project will be developed using Catalyst and Template Toolkit,
with a MySQL database beneath it all.
Estimated Project timings:
- define paths - 1 day
- define and implement DB model - 1 day
- invites - 1 day
- profile edition - 1 day
- adding and editing spaces - 2 days
- search - 2 days
- submit request for crash-space - 1 day # with all the intricacies of making the request get to the proper people
- moderate request (refuse/accept) - 1 day
- submit reviews - 1 day
- accept/reject space reviews - 1 day
After all these tasks are done, the project would be usable. While there are other functionalities that can (and probably should) be implemented, these are the tasks that would be covered by this grant.
Project Schedule
Work has already begun (the database and the workflow are already defined, and a few things already work, but there's still a long way to go).
I can begin working on this project as soon as a grant is assigned to it (if one isn't, I'll do it eventually anyway, but it's going to take considerably more time for me to get to it; from personal experience, I'd say a year or so, as money-making activities always show up and stand in the way).
Work will be mostly done during weekends, which means that in theory it should take 6 weeks, but let's point that to 8 weeks, because there's always the unexpected weekend family activity showing up.
Project start: the weekend after the grant is assigned
Project end: two months later
I'm a Perl monger from Lisbon currently working for Booking.com.
I have almost 10 years of experience with Perl (my language of choice), and I also have strong experience with both Catalyst and Template Toolkit, the tools being used in this project.
I have worked in several areas, ranging from ISPs to Search Engines, and I've also done a lot of web development. The fact that I've never settled for the knowledge I had and pursued conferences and training have made me a better Perl programmer throughout the years (meaning I actually have years of Perl experience and growth, and not just a few months of Perl repeated all over again for 10 years).
I have given a lot of thought to this project (I've been meaning to do this for over a year now), and I've discussed it with several people (including people who would actually use the system and benefit largely from it), which means I already have a lot of feedback on issues and concerns to be addressed, and this will surely contribute for the success of the project.
I also have the mentoring of José Castro, TPF's Community Relations Leader, and given that this is a project for the community, I cannot think of a more appropriate mentorship.

Murray and Jane - Dorrigo 1 Real Estate I would like to sincerely thank you both for the assistance that you gave my husband and I in the selling of our family home at the end of 2018. Although words cannot express the extent of our gratitude, we would like to offer this testimonial as the least that we can do in return for everything you have done for us. When I first contacted your office late last year in search of an honest and supportive real estate, I was extremely apprehensive and nervous. I was about to commence the process of selling my late parent's and formerly grandparent's home which had been in our family for well over 50 years and so my emotions were riding a roll-a-coaster. However within minutes of speaking with you, my nerves had calmed and I felt complete trust in handing over such a precious process to Dorrigo 1. From that first point of contact not only did you treat us with utmost respect but you were sincere and showed great empathy to our emotional state and situation. At our first meeting in person, your extensive local knowledge and clear explanation of the legalities involved in selling property, assured us that we had made the right choice in selecting your business with such an important aspect of our lives. Murray, your regular updates both in person and via text and phone, kept us in the picture along every step of the journey. The reassurance that you gave us enabled us to be able to focus on other aspects of our busy lives. Your background in the building industry was such a valuable asset when discussing the condition of our home and in determining a realistic price range. You provided us with recent statistics and comparative properties both on the market and recently sold in the local area. Your local knowledge was amazing. Throughout the entire process Jane and yourself demonstrated exemplary customer service. At all times you made us feel your 'A1' customer. Your mediation with our legal representatives, local council and other parties involved was exceptional. Thank you for providing us with a service that was supportive, personal, genuine and stress free and ultimately a great outcome for all involved. Adele & Roger Rae
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dorrigo 1 Property Sales to all interested in either buying or selling. I have done both with Dorrigo 1. Murray Slender goes well above and beyond the job role, to the extent of clients becoming friends with both himself and Jane. I would certainly use Dorrigo 1 again without any hesitation.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN It is with great pleasure that we recommend Murray Slender and Jane Wells of Dorrigo 1 Real Estate to you for your consideration. We have known Murray and Jane, both personally and professionally, for approximately seven years. After listing our rather unique property for sale with Dorrigo 1, Murray and Jane worked tirelessly to find the most fitting purchaser for our home and then the absolutely perfect property for us for our retirement years. Both Murray and Jane made the whole process as smooth as possible, keeping us fully appraised as to the proceedings at every stage. Nothing we asked was ever a problem. We found them both to be professional, circumspect, knowledgeable, honest and pleasant at all times. If you need to sell/purchase a property, you cannot do better than to list with Dorrigo 1 Real Estate, and have Murray Slender and Jane Wells act as your agent. We wish Murray and Jane continued success in the future, they are certainly deserving of nothing less. Bruce and Lynne Lawson

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk has gone on the offensive after an unflattering portrayal of the Tesla Motors Model S electric car appeared in The New York Times last week.
In a lengthy post on the Tesla Motors blog Wednesday, Mr. Musk published data collected from the vehicle used in the review, demonstrating what he says are gross inaccuracies in the Times's highly critical story.
Behind the back-and-forth is a debate over the impact of cold weather on the distance a Tesla can drive on a single charge – a sensitive subject for electric carmakers eager to ease a sense of "range anxiety" among consumers.
The Times piece details one reporter's failed attempt to drive a Model S from Washington to Boston, recharging at two ultrafast charging stations Tesla installed along the way. After crossing into New Jersey, the car's stated range dropped unexpectedly, according to John Broder, the author of the critique.
Despite consulting with Tesla representatives over the phone, the electric car shut down completely on a cold day in Branford, Conn., and ended up on the back of a flatbed tow truck.
Mr. Broder blames the failure at least partially on winter temperatures. In the post-trip debrief, Tesla's chief technology officer noted that cold weather inflicts a 10 percent range penalty. That number's higher when the heater is running.
Musk has called the article "fake," and published a lengthy blog post replete with vehicle logs he claims pokes significant holes in Broder's original story. The New York Times has so far stood by the piece, but the Wall Street Journal says the news company is reviewing Musk's data-laden rebuttal.
There's no denying that winter taxes electric cars. They rely on electricity generated by chemical reactions in lithium-ion batteries. Low temperatures slow down those reactions and make the battery less willing to accept a charge.
The 2012 Nissan Leaf, for example, has a range of up to 138 miles in optimum conditions. In winter conditions, it's best to plan to recharge every 50 miles if you want to stay warm and make good progress, according to a December 2011 test by GreenCar Reports.
Of course, winter battery woes aren't limited to electric cars. Anyone who has lived through a harsh winter knows dead batteries are a reality even for gas-powered cars.
And carmakers are developing ways to minimize winter's drain on the battery. The Tesla Model S, for example, employs "liquid thermal management," which eschews passive air cooling and instead moderates the battery's temperature with a liquid.
In his Wednesday blog post, Musk defended Tesla's winter capabilities.
"[O]ur highest per capita sales are in Norway, where customers drive our cars during Arctic winters in permanent midnight, and in Switzerland, high among the snowy Alps," Musk wrote. "About half of all Tesla Roadster and Model S customers drive in temperatures well below freezing in winter."
To further preserve range performance in the winter, GreenCar Reports encourages electric car drivers to store their car inside, keep their tires fully inflated, and allow extra time for recharging.

dotnet run## What is program.cs doing? The sample walks you through several resrouce group and storage services operations. It starts by setting up a ResourceManagementClient and StorageManagementClient objects using your subscription and credentials. #### Login for Azure Stack: In order to access to the specific Azure Stack you want to operate, you need to customize a ActiveDirectoryServiceSettings with the value of AzS_ActiveDirectory and AzS_ActiveDirectoryResourceID we prepared in previous steps pass it for login. Otherwise, your operation will just go to the public Azure as a default behavior.
ActiveDirectoryServiceSettings s = new ActiveDirectoryServiceSettings(); s.AuthenticationEndpoint = new Uri(AzS_ActiveDirectory); s.TokenAudience = new Uri(AzS_ActiveDirectoryResourceID); s.ValidateAuthority = true; var serviceCreds = await ApplicationTokenProvider.LoginSilentAsync(AzS_TenantID, AzS_ClientID, AzS_SecretKey, s);#### set up the ResourceManagementClient object The mangement endpoint for resource management client object in Azure Stack has to be replaced by the value of AzS_ManagementEndPoint we prepared in previous steps. This is for the specific Azure Stack we need to manage.
var resourceClient = new ResourceManagementClient(creds) { BaseUri = new Uri(AzS_ManagementEndPoint), SubscriptionId = AzS_SubscriptionID };#### set up the StorageManagementClient object The mangement endpoint for storage management client object in Azure Stack has to be replaced by the value of AzS_ManagementEndPoint we prepared in previous steps. This is for the specific Azure Stack we need to manage.
var storageClient = new StorageManagementClient(creds) { BaseUri = new Uri(AzS_ManagementEndPoint), SubscriptionId = AzS_SubscriptionID };### create a storage account In Azure Stack, there are some differences compared to public Azure, for example, Azure Stack storage supports LRS and gerneral-purpose storage account type, so we need to identify these value correctly when creating a storage account. For more information in Azure Stack Storage: Differences and considerations
// set default parameters for storage account in Azure Stack public static Microsoft.Azure.Management.Storage.Models.Sku DefaultSku = new Microsoft.Azure.Management.Storage.Models.Sku(SkuName.StandardLRS); // Azure Stack only supports LRS public static Kind DefaultStorageKind = Kind.Storage; // Azure Stack only supports general-purpose stroage account type public static Dictionary<string, string> DefaultTags = new Dictionary<string, string> { {"key1","value1"}, {"key2","value2"} };

Livestock gunned down in Vidor
The Orange County Sheriff's Office is investigating the deaths of 15 cattle found shot in a private property area of Mansfield Ferry Road in Vidor. Sheriff Keith Merritt said his office was alerted to the incident Monday, April 15, at approximately 8:50 a.m. by a concerned citizen traveling by the scene of the crime. According to a press release from Sgt. Chad Hogan, the cattle were all female and included several calves.
Livestock/ animal control officer Deputy Rocky Bridges said Monday that a necropsy would be performed on the deceased animals in an effort to find evidence against the person or persons responsible for the slaughter, the offender(s) facing felony charges for 15 counts of animal cruelty.
Caretakers of the deceased livestock were at the scene in the early afternoon of April 15, searching for clues as to who may have committed the livestock killings and waiting for a local veterinarian to arrive and examine the animals. Judy Williams, one of the caretakers at the property, said the animals were more than just cattle, and she had genuine affection for the herd.
"We nursed one of the calves from birth, bottle-feeding it," she said, adding that she had no idea who would want to harm the cattle. "I tried nursing them (the slaughtered cattle) back to life, but it didn't work this time."
Williams said in addition to the slaughtered cattle, two bulls are missing from the property. They are marked with the bar double aught brand, a bar with two circles under it, and one is a registered Charolais.
"They were not among the dead," Williams said. "We can't find them on the property anywhere...They were either taken off the property or broke through the fence when they were frightened by the gunshots."
Williams said she walked along the fence line of most of the property and found no bullet casings and no evidence the fence was down where the bulls would have crossed. She confirmed there are still cattle on the property and described some of them, particularly the females whose calves were shot, as "very traumatized" by the violent slaughter. She said neighbors with cattle have looked among their herds for the missing bulls to no avail. According to Williams, everyone in the neighborhood, especially livestock owners, are concerned about the shootings.
Deputy Bridges said Tuesday, April 16, the initial necropsy revealed the cows died of multiple gunshot wounds, but he was not able to release the caliber of the gun used in the incident. He said evidence is being examined at the crime lab, and several people are being interviewed in regard to the crime. A neighbor reportedly heard gunshots sometime during the night, and law enforcement officers are following up on leads.
"I just want us to find out who did it," Bridges said.
The investigation continues. Anyone with information about the livestock shootings should contact the sheriff's office at (409) 883-2612.

California Car Dealers Go Crying To DMV About Tesla's Website
from the (no)-sympathy-for-the-devil dept
Auto dealers have been dealing with disruption just about as well as any other legacy industry has. Instead of attempting to compete, dealers have chosen to respond to Tesla's refusal to cut them in on the middleman action by throwing up as many regulatory roadblocks as possible. Sadly, this antagonistic attitude toward both their competition and the car-buying public somehow makes sense to them, and they seem very willing to bury both the upstart and their last remaining shreds of goodwill at the same time.
In many states, the usual course of action for car dealers is to lobby for protective legislation. Many states have already hooked up car dealers and made it illegal for manufacturers to sell vehicles directly to the public. The remaining states that haven't are being pressured to follow suit.
However, Tesla's direct sales are completely legal in California. Rather than mount an attempt to push protectionist legislation through, the auto dealers have decided instead to attack Tesla's direct sales website, accusing the company of deceptive marketing and pricing. (via Slashdot)
The association's letter to the California DMV (PDF) complains Tesla violates several sections of various Federal and California codes and regulations:The letter (which runs nine pages alone and includes 11 pages of exhibits) also takes issue with Tesla's widely criticized "cost calculator" and its usage of "net pricing" to show potential buyers a pretty much unattainable ticket price. The letter includes screenshots of Tesla's website, some of which include tons of fine print that would seem to indicate that the rosy picture being painted above, which utilizes all possible incentives and rebates, actually comes with several catches.
"Tesla fails to provide required information and shatters the notion of comparison finance shopping by including the potential availability of incentives, gas savings, and tax savings into final payment quotes for prospective customers. This scheme is most blatantly demonstrated by the general ―$580 per month after gas savings advertisement found on several of its internal web pages."
It also notes that Tesla's quoted new-car prices net out a $7,500 Federal income-tax credit for purchase of a plug-in electric car. According to the California dealers, just 20 percent of all car shoppers qualify for that credit--and the group attributes that statistic to the Congressional Budget Office.
The complaint also attacked the way Tesla calculates resale value of its cars, the financial value of savings in commute time by using HOV lanes, and the methods used to calculate the savings of powering a car with electricity versus gasoline.
But while the letter goes long on "deceptive pricing" and "arbitrary numbers," it conveniently ignores the fact that auto dealers have long held a monopoly on those tactics as well. The reputation of car salesmen ranks somewhere between
Everything Tesla's being accused of has been the standard operating procedure for countless car dealers around the nation. That doesn't make Tesla right, but it hardly makes the car dealers -- who are fiercely defending their profitable "gatekeeper" status -- look like the lesser of two evils.
This seems to be a whole lot of effort to be expending in order to grab a percentage of a higher-end niche market. The auto dealers would be better off approaching their "benefactors" (especially the Big Three) and asking them why they're not producing highly desirable, groundbreaking products at bonus-spiking profit margins. Instead, they'd rather approach the situation in the worst way possible -- attacking an upstart with a righteous fury that's completely oblivious to the obvious hypocrisy of the accusations.
Certainly Tesla should conform with applicable laws, but its website -- which to most people will still look like amazing prices attached to pages of fine print -- is pretty much similar to any car dealer's online cost calculator. People who think they're going to get the low monthly payment (and low percentage rate) splashed across TVs and newspapers (and websites) are rarely surprised to find out they don't qualify for the promotional rates. What the auto dealers are pointing to as the epitome of deception in this letter is really nothing more than "another day at the office" at nearly every sales operation anywhere: if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. And most consumers are able to see through these advertising tactics without the help of protectionist laws, just as surely as they'll recognize the auto dealers' "concern" for what it truly is: self-interested and desperate flailing.

Officials representing a Vermont landfill that has been subject to numerous odor complaints in recent months say they have a $1.1 million plan to control the problem and they have stopped accepting sludge that is the source of the odors.
Mary O'Brien, a spokeswoman for the company that owns the landfill, Advanced Disposal Systems, says they can't change the past, but they're promising to work closer with the town in the future.
Odor from the landfill along U.S. Route 2 and visible from Interstate 89 has been a chronic problem.
WCAX-TV reports work on the landfill has essentially halted after the company spent about $450,000 because the state hasn't renewed the certification it needs to proceed.
The state will make a final ruling on the landfill's permit in March.

VINA DEL MAR, Chile, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- No. 1 seed Fabio Fognini, extending a rush of good play that has put him in the Top 15 in the world, won his second-round match Thursday at the Chile Open.
Fognini reached the fourth round of the recent Australian Open and then won both his matches in Italy's first-round Davis Cup triumph over Argentina.
He drew a first-round bye in this tournament and then advanced Thursday by defeating Aljaz Bedene 6-4, 7-6 (8-6).
Fognini will take a 6-2 record for 2014 into his quarterfinal match against Jeremy Chardy, the tournament's fifth seed who got past Carreno Busta 6-3, 7-6 (7-5).
In other second-round matches, third-seeded Nicolas Almagro was a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 winner over Martin Alund, qualifier Taro Daniel moved on in his ATP Tour debut by upsetting eighth-seeded Federico Delbonis 1-6, 7-6 (7-5, 7-6 (9-7) and Daniel Gimeno-Traver ousted defending champion Horacio Zeballos 6-2, 6-4.

2100 feet below the Earth's surface, 33 trapped miners wait in darkness to be plucked from what might have been their grave. Surviving for 17 days on rations meant for two, 32 Chileans and a Bolivian refused to surrender to the death that gleefully awaited them – each ingesting only a spoon-full of tuna fish and a little milk every 48 hours so that all would have an equal chance to live. With resolve and dignity, they said "no" to a fate that had never before taken "no" for an answer. And so they live, still. With no cause for hope, they kept hoping – and made sure the rescue party found them. With no reason to believe they would emerge alive from the rocky jaws of the mountain that had engulfed them, they kept believing – and politely asked for toothbrushes instead of last rites. How absurd of them! Yet, right before our eyes, the absurd becomes sacred; ordinary miners, nobility.
In a world poisoned by pettiness, vanity, and mindless consumerism, where image trumps reputation, and the hypnotized multitudes fall victim to the tyranny of status and profit, 33 shirtless men entombed in a dank Chilean copper mine show the rest of us how to live. Instinctively, each man understood the intrinsic value of his fellows; and all worked in concert to accomplish what no man could have accomplished alone. And thus did the miners mutually re-enforce their collective will to survive so that survival itself became possible. By daring to break down the forbidding walls of their own angst and doubt, they found the strength do what had to be done to see their loved ones again. These men are true heroes and role models for every Girl Scout.
Imagine what could be if the whole world did that! And if the bottomless well of pettiness then ran dry and the stink of vanity went away. Indeed, what would happen if we all awoke and suddenly grasped the true nature of our human potential? And if we all stopped being so tiny-minded and instead embraced the humanity and courage of the Chilean miners and made them our own? Would we then be able to say "no" to another fate that has never taken "no" for an answer? And yet another? Could we then, in turn, be rescued from the dungeon of egoism into which our media-dictated priorities have surreptitiously cast us? Could it be that by their example the trapped miners are unwittingly rescuing us? If so, will we find the wisdom to allow ourselves to be rescued?
And what of other examples of raw, unpretentious courage? About nine years ago, masses of New York's bravest selflessly cast themselves into the breach to rescue whom they could from a 110 story inferno in lower Manhattan. Hundreds never returned. In 2009 a US Airways pilot, scorning the taunts of destiny, brought an Airbus whose heart had stopped beating in flight to a safe landing on the Hudson river. All aboard survived. Rare as precious gems, a lone man or woman – or a group of individuals –inevitably comes along when we least expect it to remind us of the nobility of which we are all capable and what it truly means to be.
The trapped miners, the New York City firemen, and the US Airways pilot, simply went to work to feed their families. Meeting basic needs and responsibilities and honoring an unspoken commitment to their fellow human beings is what motivated them. Deep underground, 32 Chileans and a Bolivian were literally "mining their own business" when the Earth swallowed them whole. Undaunted, they humbly declined fate's best offer and chose to live instead. Like the intrepid firemen and the steely-nerved pilot, they chose to answer only to their better selves. In response to these stunning examples of courage, confidence and character – three words that the Girl Scouts of Nassau County live by - we can only say: "Thank you, thank you very much."

About Joe Magly
I would question it as fact. It looks like the study was more based on correlation of digital sales without looking at the wider industry. In the same time frame that Megaupload was taken down the following also happened:
* Amazon adds 5000 videos to Amazon Instant Video and begins heavily promoting it on their site
* Hulu starts getting real traction by adding advertising allowing them to expand their catalog.
* A number of networks decided to follow some form of the route taken by South Park by hosting streams for their own shows/movies.
* Digital download editions of physical media began to be sold
* Walmart offers a digital transfer service that allows consumers to copy their DVDs to a digital format
I'm sure there is more.
So while shutting down megaupload may have had an affect on piracy the numbers are questionable due to the fact so many other big shifts to digital happened in the same few years and gained traction all around the same space of 12-24 months.
Technically not possible as far as I am aware. In order to burn a CD an image must be prepared and authored (most of this is transparent to the end user these days) which generally means your data is not only copied to a persistent disk but may be copied 2-3 more times during the burning process.
I am not sure there are any tools out there that can take a data stream and push the output directly onto a an optical disc short of leaving the session open and treating it as an RW device. Even then I would wager the files stop off at the hard drive before being written to the open session.
How about a local raid system?
What if someone creates an app that lets you tie the free disk space you have on multiple systems together to use as a single remote volume? I can come up with all kinds of novel ways to work with files and their filesystems that would run afoul of this ruling just sitting in my basement.
Sounds like, with this ruling, now doing anything with protected media other than consuming it from the original device it was downloaded on using approved software is now illegal. Want to move your music from one folder to another? Illegal. Want to copy music from your old PC to a new system prior to throwing the old PC away? Illegal. Are someone who only had an iPod but no full PC until recently? All that stuff you downloaded on your iPod must stay there forever.
Well, if it was hyperbole before, with his ruling, if I am reading it right, all computer users in the US will violate copyright everyday, multiple times a day, just by using their computers.
Of course from a practical sense it would be hard to harass the public over this. You would first have to prove the user actually understands how the software on their system works well enough to actually willfully infringe.
It's still somewhat untested at scale.
The DMCA provides provisions that allow consumers full rights to break DRM and use the content under it if the DRM is defunct. Meaning that if the industry disables auth servers or changes to a new kind of encryption/DRM and you can no longer buy on the public market new devices that support that DRM then you can legally break that DRM and I believe devices capable of breaking the DRM are allowed to be distributed for personal usage.
So far this has only happened on a small scale for some games and other niche areas and I don't think it's really be tried in the courts. This particular provision is something they want to kill IIRC but have yet to do so completely (though I'm sure there are more restrictions than what i simply state here).
The thing is, based on the spec, this is just a plugin API (ie no real DRM happens in the browser). Meaning each content creator is going to push onto your machine either 1st or 3rd party DRM code that will RUN on your computer rather than just play a stream.
On top of all the issues with how this really is not much difference from the ActiveX and Flash messes of old; All I see here is a way for malicious developers/site authors to take advantage of end users and gain access to a new area where code can run (Possibly even outside the sandbox depending on the implementation).
Just like any other DRM, the people who can will remove it fairly easily when they really want something. However it will cause a whole bunch of fun for end customers when their DRM plugin store goes awry or they click a link from an email they think is from netflix, watch a TV show and now have a virus.
And how would such a program ever accurately tell someone has or is infringing? As time goes on and people collect more digital data from a dizzying array of sources how could any piece of software determine a "legal" file or resource from an "illegal" one?
I have been ripping MP3s and DVDs for personal streaming since the technologies were available. Further as a computer professional I have tons of software from multiple vendors with all kinds of different licenses (retail, volume, corporate, shared keys, etc).
It seems to me that the first people that would get in trouble with such spyware would not be actual pirates (and the criminality of piracy is HIGHLY questionable as it is) but rather digital pack-rats and professionals that may have more on their system (and a larger variety of esoteric types) than your average home user. I don't pirate and everything I have and do is acquired legally. I am glad this is only in Canada for now, I really don't want to worry about a software download potentially sending me through the legal ringer for a 8 year old MP3 I haven't listened to in ages and ripped myself anyway.
True, but the Metro UI is the default upon logging in and what the majority of casual users will spend the majority of their time.
I would tend to agree.
Many modern wireless and combo routers also include USB, eSATA or Firewire ports for hooking up storage devices for exposure over the network.
There is no way to tell if a particular router has such a device hooked up until you actually break into it and generally, unlike shared storage on a PC that may implement some form of security, very often these router shares are open to whomever has network access.
A monopoly is only a problem if they are, through some action, attempting to keep competition out of the market (I don't know if they have or not). Considering events like the X Games I would say they aren't even a monopoly but they do hold the lions share of the market.
As I said in my first reply I don't disagree with you on the IP rights side of things but your rant about exploiting the athletes makes no sense.
As for committees charging to the use of a sport I don't honestly know if you can put IP rights on the playing of a sport. That seems just as twisted as what the IOC is proposing though perhaps that was your point.
I agree that the bully tactics the IOC uses are overboard but how is their business model evil?
Athletes want to compete in the Olympics in various events.
People all over the world want to watch people compete in those events.
Putting on these kinds of events requires a ton of resources (money, time, etc) and logistics to even happen.
The IOC is a business providing this service that is paid for by advertising. Is it somehow wrong for them to expect to make a profit on the venture?
The athletes are not being exploited, no one forced them (well at least for most participants) to do what they are doing and if they didn't feel the potential pay off was worthwhile they would not do it at all.
I know the athletes are a big part of this but you are completely discounting what the IOC is bringing to the table as having little or no value. Without the IOC or some organization putting resources into such an event the Olympics would be little more than some locals running around in an empty field.
Could it be done better, cheaper or in a model that is non-profit? Sure but it does not mean that the poor athletes are being exploited because someone is making a profit somewhere.
By your logic you might as well say the host cities are exploring the athletes too since very often host cities benefit greatly from the Olympics. Let not forget those evil exploiting fans too, I mean, they didn't do anything but they get all the pleasure of watching the event.
Not that it is right but corporate decisions can change pretty quick when you have senior senators calling your executives asking for a "favor".
This is partly Amazon's fault though one wonders what kind of threats (expressed or implied) is Amazon afraid of.
Wired jumped the shark a loooong time ago.
It happened sometime in their first year in business.
Based on the TOS I the likeness can be used however the language used with the image may be questionable.
Can an advertiser say that a specific person did x and "thinks you should to" when that never really happened?
If the text said something like "Find more friends like Bill" or "You can find new and old friends using X" I would think that would be less of a problem.
I would think that the use of the image combined with a false assertion could be problematic but likely in some legal grey area. IANAL
Jscript obfuscation tools out there that do a much better job than this.
This was just lazy/inexperienced work.
I would copy pasta the old tired quote about how giving up freedom for security gets you neither but based on your post it would seem you are quite happy to give up everything to protect yourself from the big bad bogey man.
No you don't but if you plan on publishing a magazine you better CYA or you may find yourself in hot water.
As I said before, the very nature of her role requires her to know these things or acquire advisors that can help in understanding.
I doubt mono would run a Silverlight app, Mono has yet to catch up with some of the language features that Silverlight uses.
I would be inclined to back you up if this lady was just your average user. As the editor of a magazine a plea of ignorance on how IP on the internet works does not fly as it should have been part of her role to be very aware of how others content can be used and the customs around it as well as the possible consequences if she messed up.
Should she loose or shut down the magazine over this? I am on the fence about that but she most certainly was responsible and saying "I didn't know better" just does not work.
People have all kinds of principals until they can't do something they really want.
Though I find it hard to believe that this came up on it's own without some prodding by a party that stands to profit either way.
Same here, I love playing with magnets and tend to buy stuff like this on impulse.
Zen just made a sale, as soon as I find them in stock.

Syrian rebels capture four U.N. peacekeepers
UNITED NATIONSA Syrian rebel group detained four U.N. peacekeepers on patrol on the Golan Heights in a tense area that separates Syria and Israel, the U.N. said Tuesday.
It was the second time in two months that unarmed U.N. military observers have been taken captive by the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigades, and illustrated again the vulnerability of the U.N. peacekeeping mission amid the spillover from the war in Syria, which is now in its third year. The separation zone on the Golan Heights is supposed to be free of any armed groups but in recent months it has been the scene of fighting between Syrian government forces and rebel fighters.
Kieran Dwyer, spokesman for the U.N. peacekeeping department, said the four peacekeepers, all from the Philippines, were taken by an armed group near Jamla on Tuesday and "efforts are underway to secure their release now." U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said later that the Yarmouk brigade had claimed responsibility.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the detention of the peacekeepers and called for their immediate release, Nesirky said.
A spokesman for the rebel group holding the four peacekeepers said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigades, which is operating in the Golan Heights, is holding the peacekeepers. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is outside of Syria and is serving as a mediator on peaceful matters concerning the group.
In a statement that was posted on the group's Facebook page Tuesday, the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigades said the peacekeepers are not their hostages, but are being kept with them for their own safety.
In early March, the same rebel group held 21 Filipino U.N. peacekeepers for four days before releasing them unharmed after tough negotiations.
- U.N. says 21 peacekeepers detained on Golan Heights
- U.N.: Captive peacekeepers freed from Syrian rebels
- Syria, Israel at impasse over Golan Heights?
The rebel unit said that it suspects that peacekeepers are shielding Syrian President Bashar Assad's troops who the rebels said killed civilians during an army sweep of Wadi Raqat, a town in southern Syria.
The U.N. monitoring mission, known as UNDOF, was set up in 1974, seven years after Israel captured the Golan and a year after it managed to push back Syrian troops trying to recapture the territory in another regional war.
For nearly four decades, the U.N. monitors have helped enforce a stable truce between Israel and Syria.
But in recent months, Syrian mortars overshooting their target have repeatedly hit the Israeli-controlled Golan. In Israel's most direct involvement so far, Israeli warplanes struck inside Syria in January, according to U.S. officials who said the target was a convoy carrying anti-aircraft weapons bound for Hezbollah, a Lebanese militia allied with Assad and Iran. The Israelis struck targets in Syria again over the weekend.
After the 21 peacekeepers were taken in March, the U.N. vacated two vulnerable posts in the separation zone and took other measures to beef up security for the peacekeepers.
Secretary-General Ban reminded all parties in the Syrian conflict that the U.N. is monitoring a disengagement of forces agreement between Israel and Syria and called for its freedom of movement, safety and security to be respected, Nesirky said.

I feel like a celebrity today because I received something that celebrities at the Emmy's received this year! It is the Tinseltown Silver Knot Genie and it is so cool! I had no idea how cool this product was until I tried it! I have medium length brown hair and was surprised how the Knot Genie worked so smoothly with my hair. There was no pulling or breakage. I am in love with this brush! My toddler loves it too and wants to keep using it, even when he doesn't need to. He says that it is shiny and fun! No wonder they shared the Tinseltown Silver Knot Genie with celebrities at the Emmy's this year!

Trusting in the Emmanuel
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive in her womb, and she shall give birth to a son. And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means: God is with us." -Matthew 1:23
This statement by an angel, to the frightened carpenter Joseph, is one of the standard issue Christmas verses. And lately, it won't get out of my head. But not because of it's presence, rather because of it's absence.
Here's what I mean. This Christmas season has been the hardest for me to live within the reality that "God is with us." Instead, I find myself wrestling almost daily with believing that God is truly near, that God is here and present with me. I realize and fully admit how narcissistic that sounds, and I try to guard myself from making such individualized statements about God (i.e. it's all about God's presence with 'me!' and then I may or may not choose to acknowledge God's presence with 'us'). But this season my heart is going there whether I want it to or not. My mind argues, and wants to hold tight to the knowledge of the presence of God, but my heart wars against it and finds reasons to doubt. Finds reasons to argue, reasons to latch on to the parts of my life recently that have been excruciatingly hard. The other day I wrote about some of this battle as it was reflected in attending church for the first time in a while.
And what's curious to me is that lately I have had several very powerful reasons to accept the reality of the presence of God in my life right now. And yet, my heart still resists. It's as though I'm living the chorus of the Mumford & Sons song, "Winter Winds"
And my head told my heart "Let love grow" But my heart told my head "This time no"
So what has my head been telling my heart lately?
My wife is one week away from giving birth to our 4th boy. And what a beautiful reminder of God in so many ways. The God who creates and gives life to Creation has blessed us with the ability to create 4 miniature humans of our own. And the advent of THIS baby boy comes at the same time of year that the God who emptied God's-self became clothed in humanity. What a perfect reminder.
And yet my heart resists.
The other day I had a conversation with someone who shared with me an incredible story of how I had been used by God to show up in someone else's life at the exact right moment. I sent this person a text (someone I've texted maybe 5 times before in my life) letting them know I was thinking of them and pausing to pray for them. Come to find out, they received that text at the exact moment that something extremely difficult was happening in their life. There was maybe a 5 minute window that this moment even existed, and THAT'S precisely when I felt compelled to text them. There's more coolness to the story that I won't share here for the sake of anonymity, but suffice it to say that it was definitely a powerful indicator of "God with us." And I know that the person who received my text was impacted by the presence of God. And I know that I, too, ought to have been impacted in this way.
And yet my heart resists.
A month ago we threw our kids, dog and a fish in the van and left our home in Arizona. Like many in this country, we are upside down with our mortgage. And like many, we were needing to sell our home quickly. For those who have been there before, you know the stress and strain that latches on to you when you move to a different state and leave behind a home that you hope and pray will sell. Two weeks ago, on Monday, we put our home on the market. By Tuesday we had five offers. By Thursday we accepted an offer and it went to the bank for approval. I can't say for sure whether God assisted this process for us or not, but probably at another time in my life I might have easily attributed this moment to a blessing/presence of the Divine.
And yet my heart resists.
What I'm discovering is that while my mind has been presented with numerous evidences for the reality of God's presence in my life, my heart seems intent on rejecting such notions. My heart is still lumbering along at a frustratingly slow pace since it was crushed several months back. My heart is still, at the very best, resisting God... and at the very worst, blaming God.
During the Advent season we are invited to a time of waiting. Of anticipation and expectation. The four words oft associated with Advent are Joy, Hope, Peace and Love.
But this season I might add a fifth word: Trust.
Better yet, I might just replace the original four with Trust.
You see, perhaps God (if God is at the moment doing such things) is inviting me in to a learning season of Trust. Perhaps God sees in my life areas where Trust is lacking, and during this season I get to lean in in a whole new way.
Trust, as I'm learning, isn't the same thing as Faith. Here's what I mean...
The author of Hebrews wrote, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (11:1). Or maybe you could say, faith is what you cling to when your heart has a conviction about something but you simply can't wrap your mind around it. But Trust? Maybe trust is what you cling to when your mind has a conviction about something but your heart can't acquiesce.
Faith for me right now isn't necessarily the issue. I believe in the ever-presence of the Creator, the always-thereness and always-nearness of the Divine. But right now I'm struggling to trust in that which I believe in. Or, to put it more simply, I'm struggling to feel what I know. We lean in to faith to help us overcome our lack of knowing. Right now, I need to lean in to trust to help me overcome my lack of feeling. Maybe the feelings will come... maybe not. Feelings are pretty flighty like that. But as finite humans we nonetheless rely on them quite a bit.
So, for this Christmas season, I might stick with the author of Hebrews, but go backwards to the second chapter. "But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor... I will put my trust in him" (2:9,13).
I may not know what that looks like. I certainly don't know how to do it. But just being able to step back and see a glimpse of what God might be calling me to right now in my life is enough. I will lean in to that, and by doing so, lean in to God. Lean in to the Emmanuel, the God who is with us. The God who, I am led to believe, is with me.
And then, maybe then, I'll move from the chorus of "Winter Winds" to the final verse:
And if your strife strikes at your sleep Remember spring swaps snow for leaves You'll be happy and wholesome again When the city clears and sun ascends

Set up more checklists in the screen builder or compare the expert models below...
Price to Net Net Working Captal compares the Price to Benjamin Graham's valuation measure, Net Net Working Capital which is defined as Cash + Short Term Marketable Investments + Accounts Receivable * 75% + Inventory * 50% of Total Liabilities
This is the daily average of the cumulative trading volume during the last three months.
As an example, the 3 month average volume of Vodafone, admittedly a mega-cap, as of May 15th 2015 was 59,376,983.
Large institutional funds cannot trade in and out of a stock without leaving their footprints, and learning to read the signs in daily and weekly volume is important. If current volumes are higher than previous volumes while price is increasing, it may be a sign of fund accumulation

Redefine Gaming Performance
Make your game faster and more immersive than ever by overclocking RAM and Intel®-based DDR3/DDR4 memory.
Make your game faster and more immersive than ever by overclocking RAM and Intel®-based DDR3/DDR4 memory.
Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (Intel® XMP) lets you overclock RAM and compatible DDR3/DDR4 memory to enhance the gaming features built into PCs with Intel® Core™ processor. Get that extra edge you need to dominate.1
You can load predefined and tested Intel® Extreme Memory Profile (Intel® XMP) profiles through your computer's operating system, using BIOS or a specific tuning application. To find the right tuning utility for your system, contact the board manufacturer.
|Multiple Serial Presence Detect (SPD) Profiles
|Enables preset or user-defined memory profiles that can be selected depending on usage model. For example, an aggressive, low-latency profile could be used during intense gaming, while the default memory setting can be used for everyday home computing, such as home office or web browsing.
|Memory Vendor-Specific SPD Fields
|Enables memory module suppliers to program their own capabilities and provide unique value to end users.
|Easy Overclocking (Novice)
|Enables end users to easily overclock their platforms by selecting the appropriate profile instead of adjusting individual parameters in BIOS. Reselecting the default profile resets the platform to default setting.
|Advanced Overclocking (Intermediate/Expert User)
|Expert users can manually change specific SPD parameters in the BIOS and save the profiles (platform/BIOS specific).
|Fail-Safe Default Boot
|"First boot" with default JEDEC setting on a platform that supports DDR3/DDR4 standard JEDEC specification (your standard DDR3/DDR4 memory frequencies), ensuring base functionality. Then the user can enter BIOS and manually change settings or use the Windows-based Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU).
Overclocking your processor, RAM, and motherboard is a way to custom tune your PC for performance that can exceed specs. It speeds up your components—and your gameplay.
Use this simple, Windows-based performance tuning software to overclock, monitor, and stress test your system.
Altering clock frequency or voltage may damage or reduce the useful life of the processor and other system components, and may reduce system stability and performance. Product warranties may not apply if the processor is operated beyond its specifications. Check with the manufacturers of system and components for additional details.

AdSense policy FAQs
The purpose of AdSense policy is to keep Google's content and search networks safe and clean for our advertisers, users, and publishers. We hope that all publishers participating in AdSense have a long and successful partnership with Google. To understand why we need policies and the role they play in the ads eco-system you can watch this video. For that to happen, it's important that you familiarize yourself with the AdSense program policies. It's important to make sure visitors to your pages are not misled and avoid any deceptive implementation that may bring accidental clicks. For more details, please check out our ad implementation policies.
- Part 1: Site content
- Part 2: Ad implementation
- Part 3: Mobile-related
- Part 4: Deductions from earnings FAQs
- Part 5: Requests for reviews and violation reporting
- Part 6: More resources
Part 1: Site content
AdSense is a family-safe network. Our policy regarding adult or mature content may include any material that is not appropriate for all audiences. While this obviously includes full nudity or sexual activity, it may also include textually explicit sexual content, image or video content containing lewd or provocative poses, strategically covered nudity, see-through or sheer clothing, and close-ups of anatomy that would be inappropriate if shown nude. Additionally, topics such as sexual health and sex tips may be held to a higher standard of professionalism than content that isn't bordering on mature. Even if there's no adult content hosted on your page, links to adult pages or displaying adult ads from a third party will also be considered as adult content. When in doubt about whether an image or text might be construed as adult content, our general guideline is this: if you wouldn't want a child to see the content, or if you would be embarrassed to view the page in front of colleagues, then it's probably not family-safe and you shouldn't place AdSense ad code on it.
Images or video content containing lewd or provocative poses, or close-ups of breasts, butts, or crotches are considered as sexually gratifying content as per our policies. Therefore if the bikini pictures in question are lewd or suggestive in nature then they would be considered adult content.
Yes. We don't allow ads to be displayed on pages with links or ads that drive traffic to adult or mature content. This includes but is not limited to:
- Links to adult sites
- Displaying adult ads from a third party network
If there are no valid search results then you shouldn't be displaying ads on no-content pages as per our policies. When you receive a notification email, our suggestions for you are:
- Remove the ads from the example page or remove that page right away.
- Set your ads not to be displayed when there's no search result.
- Set adult keywords filters.
While we're unable to provide you with a list of adult keywords, we recommend that you try searching for terms such as "keyword filtering" or "content filtering" on Google.com.
Yes. Publishers should not place ads on content that they do not have permission to monetize or distribute. In addition, pages do not have to host the content themselves, it's enough to link to sources that clearly infringe our copyrighted material policy.
If the software you provide is cracked software that isn't authorized by the software owner, that will be considered as copyright material. Providing the serial number without the owner's permission is also another way to crack the software.
There are two policies that you need to consider if you wish to do this. Firstly, you need to consider whether you might be breaking copyright by distributing these videos and monetizing them. Remember you can only monetize content that you own or have permission to do so. Secondly, you need to consider the value you are providing to users. It's important for a page displaying AdSense ads to offer significant value to the user by providing unique and relevant content, and not to place ads on pages with little to no original content.
Simply using a free host template would not be enough alone to be considered a violation. We would look at the quality and uniqueness of the content that you are providing on that template. Your site should offer significant value to the user by providing useful and information-rich content. If you create lots of similar sites with similar or duplicate content, we will consider them as template sites.
Yes, publishers are responsible for all the content on which they've placed their ad code, regardless of whether they own or have produced the content. If there's a lot of user-generated content on your page(s), we suggest that you take some measures to avoid displaying ads on the pages with violating content. For example, you can set filters to avoid ads showing on pages with adult content. You can also check your page(s) regularly with Google site search to remove the violating content. For more tips on maintaining user-generated content, please refer to our guide to user-generated content.
Part 2: Ad implementation
Displaying ads above the fold is not a violation as long as there is enough content above the fold for the users to read. We don't allow page layouts that push all content below the fold so that the only visible content is ads. Implementations like this make it hard for users to distinguish between content and Google ads.
When you implement ads, please always think about your users and consider whether if you were a user coming to the page for the first time, would you be able to distinguish the ads from content. You can choose the appropriate ad size, color, and background to match with the design of your page, but never try to format the ads in such a way that makes them indistinguishable from the other content on the page where they appear. And please always keep a proper distance between ads and content to avoid accruing accidental clicks.
We don't allow publishers to mislead users in any way. The only labels we allow to be put above ads are "sponsored links" or "advertisements".
Putting ads around a "download" button may mislead users into thinking that the ads are the download links. So please always keep your ads far away from "download" links and make "download" buttons readily seen.
Yes, it does violate our policies. Firstly, you're not allowed to place ads in a frame within another page. Exceptions to our policies are permitted only with authorization from Google for the valid use of iframes. Secondly, you're not allowed to put ads in your software, e.g., if you control both a page with ads and an app that loads that page, we will take action against it.
Part 3: Mobile-related
Please don't use AdSense on apps since it is a clear violation. Also please be sure not to violate the following policies when using AdMob. The following policies should be considered for apps that work as browsers, or apps that try to frame external pages: AdMob and AdSense ads can't be shown on the same screen. Publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on pages that frame content from other pages without permission from the owners of those pages. For more details about AdMob policy, refer to the AdMob Help Center.
Part 4: Deductions from earnings FAQs
Your earnings may include deductions for various reasons. Google may adjust your earnings if it detects invalid click activity in your account or ad implementations that are not in compliance with AdSense policy. We encourage you to review the policy and traffic quality guidelines to learn more.Why were my earnings deducted?
Part 5: Requests for reviews and violation reporting
It's likely that while you removed the violation from the example page we provided, similar violations are still existent throughout your site. Note that the URL we provide in the notification email is just an example and the same violations may exist on other pages of this site. We recommend that you take the time to review the rest of your site to ensure that it's in compliance with our policies. After you fix all the violations on your site, you can request a review via the Policy center in your AdSense account or the Help Center.
You can use the Can't see my ads troubleshooter to help you troubleshoot common issues on your page or site.
You don't need to contact us if you've received a warning. You should take action on the warning ensuring that you remove all violations throughout your site. If ads have been disabled on your page or site then you can contact us through a review request form. Before you reach out to us, please fix the problem first. We strongly recommend that you read the related policies in our Help Center to help you understand the current violation. To request a review, please use the Request a review for a violation troubleshooter, and then go through the steps to find the right review request form.
For more info about requesting a review, refer to our Policy refresher blog post.
As you may know, Google takes issues regarding program policy compliance very seriously. Our program policies are in place to help ensure a positive experience for our publishers, their page visitors, and our advertisers. As such, our decisions are typically final.
If you feel that this decision was made in error, and if you can maintain in good faith that the policy violations accrued were not due to the actions or negligence of you or those for whom you are responsible, you may appeal the disabling of your account. To do so, please contact us only through our Policy violation appeal—account disabled form.
We will review your request as soon as one of our specialists is available. However, please keep in mind that we reserve the right to disable an account for violations of program policies, and there is no guarantee that your account will be reinstated.
Please note that you may submit only one appeal for your account. Any additional submissions will not be reviewed.
We strive to maintain the quality and reputation of AdSense by holding all of our publishers to our program policies. We appreciate your help in upholding these standards. If you find any page or site that may contain the policy violations, please report it to us by clicking the "Ads by Google" or "Ad choice" label on the ads. Our specialists will review it and take action accordingly.
You can report this behavior through our Unauthorized ad code has been placed on my site form. We'll investigate this matter and take the appropriate actions. Please be aware that these ads were placed on your website without our knowledge. If you haven't already done so, you can remove the ads from your site by deleting the ad code from your site's source. In addition, we suggest that you review your site's security to ensure that unauthorized individuals aren't able to access your website's source code.
We strongly recommend that you use the "site authorization" feature. Site authorization is an optional feature that allows you to identify only specific sites that are permitted to use your Google ad code. If a site or URL is not in your authorized sites list, then a violation from the site won't negatively affect your account in any way.
Learn how to add a site or URL to the list of sites that can display your ad code.
