I have been a business owner for a few years now and I have also been an employee while simultaneously working on these projects. I have had sustainability from my formal income, which gave me the allowance to make mistakes. And in these last few years, I have failed countless times at business. I have made critical financial mistakes that have cost me tens of thousands of rands. My business administration has been shocking and even with a project management background, I have often found myself at odds with managing anything, sometimes even myself.
I can attribute this to waking up at 4am; working tirelessly from 8am – 5pm and then putting in an extra four hours a night on my business along with just trying to breathe. The pursuit of excellence is not for the faint hearted. But throughout these four years, I've always had the back up of my salary; credit cycle; and job security.
The last three months however have been completely different as I have had no financial support structure except for my business. What I have learned in these last few months has blown my mind. Entrepreneurship can be lonely and depressing, but it does not always boil down to the understanding of the family and friends around us but instead to the external personalities we deal with on a daily basis: our suppliers and clients. Those two facets are the reason businesses exist: we are serviced by and service these groups. And nothing can stress a business owner more than a client.
I have come across horrendous suppliers who let you down but I have also been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is for me to work with others. I have fostered good relationships with most of my suppliers by simply being respectful; knowing when to push and pull; and always keeping in mind that they too run a business.
Remember the controversy in 2016 when Lerato Shabalala, former True Love editor, released a black business critique called "The Way I see It"? Black people were swinging from the depths of hell ready to defend our principles and our perceived "behindedness" in entrepreneurship. Although having never read the book because of the packed excerpts I came across in the media, her disposition towards the struggles of black business owners infuriated me.
Firstly black people have entrepreneurship ingrained in them – have you taken the bus or been in a class with black students? There's always something on sale and all the teenagers already running hair salons during their break time in the township, does that count for anything? The kids around age nine are already selling amagwinya on trains, we see opportunities and we take them up, Lerato.
It's so disappointing realising that the commonalities between black service providers and consumers are the very things that separate us instead of fusing us together.
These last few months have humbled me and I feel ready to migrate to a quiet corner to listen to what she has to say. Why? Because I am so frustrated by black clients. And quite frankly the race of my clients does not matter, but black business services a predominantly black clientele because of our history. We are still viewed as the worker and not the producer so we do not have a significant say in the economy of business in South Africa, we remain at the back-foot scrabbling for seconds. Small black business has decided to service people who look like us thinking that will make all the difference, but that has instead made us feel inferior.
The constant negotiation for lower prices and loose or handshake terms and conditions and the constant complaints. Often when I get to discussing clients with other black entrepreneurs, the mood in the room is that these very same clients would never treat our white counterparts in a similar manner. The WhatsApp messages and calls at ungodly hours; the "why debate this when I am paying you", the "I will expect five-star service but refuse to be billed at your industry relevant rates" etc. It's so disappointing realising that the commonalities between black service providers and consumers are the very things that separate us instead of fusing us together.
We just have a considerable amount of work to do as business owners and professionals to educate our consumers that we are offering often far more than big business: we deliver more in trying to get the business than our white competition, we are willing to have after-hours meetings to accommodate your work schedule, we often undercharge ourselves by not paying ourselves to be accountants, administrators, head of logistics etc. We have a million roles to play in our small businesses yet we remain on the back pedal having to explain our worth.
It's exhausting. It's tiring to have to educate someone who has contacted you that you deserve to be seen. And it's seldom our own fault. It is the ingrained programming of seeing black people as less than and being easily available to be taken for a ride.
We have to be intentional about unlearning this. Or black business will always remain insignificant.

The American grande dame of folk on her farewell tour
Joan Baez epitomises a generation of politically engaged artists. In folk music she has found a way to express her social criticism and she has sung for five decades in the same spirit, as a singer, activist and goodwill ambassador.
After many sold out concerts in recent years, the popular icon Joan Baez returns to Spain to perform some exceptional concerts on the occasion of her farewell tour Fare Thee Well, and her new album Whistle Down the Wind that will be released in March 2018.
It's been almost 60 years of odes to love and songs of social commitment which, together with those from her new album, will ring out in the incomparable setting of the Cap Roig Festival.

Imagine for a moment, if you will, the scary things I would do on this blog if I had my own kids. Oh, I pity my future kids and the things I will put them through for my own amusement. "Time to reenact the Bay of Pigs using Peeps, guys! Mama needs some new blog fodder!" (See, I would dress the kids up as Peep Soldiers and take pictures. And then leave them to raise themselves, still dressed as Peeps, while I play around on Photoshop. I can't WAIT to be a mom!)
And this is the part of my blog where I annoy all parents of young children; I spent the vast, vast, vast majority of the weekend curled up on the couch in my pajamas watching various TV shows on DVD and eating cereal. Well, after I dragged my butt out of bed well into the day. It was AWESOME!
Now I'm blogging and downloading music. I'll probably go to bed soon, or maybe not. Doesn't really matter; once I go to bed the only thing that will possibly wake me up between now and tomorrow morning (when I wake up fifteen minutes before I have to leave because I only have to get myself dressed and out the door) are my cats.

The EUR/GBP appears close to a major move, says John Rawlins....
InvestorPlace Panel
02/20/2004 12:00 am EST
One of the most exciting events at each Money Show is the InvestorPlace Panel, presented by Phillips Publishing. Hosted by Gary Alexander, the panel features some of the nation's best stock pickers--Louis Navellier, Mike Murphy, Toby Smith, and John Mugarian.
(For more information on each of these advisors, please click on their photos.)
"It's a much more mature market and we find investors gravitating more towards fundamentally superior stocks," says Louis Navellier, editor of Blue Chip Growth Letter and MPT Review. "As a result, our latest picks are pretty conservative. I like Zimmer Holdings (ZMH NYSE), which is in the orthopedics business. They make new hips and knees and body parts. In the energy business, we're ecstatic with Occidental Petroleum (OXY NYSE). This is a very good growth company that predominantly operates internationally and may get some new growth out of Libya. Occidental is quite an amazing company. It also has a 2.4% dividend. In addition, I like Huaneng Power (HNP NYSE). This is a good way to play the boom in China. In the third world, power is less consistent and demand is growing rapidly. These three stocks are very recession resistant and will do well over a longer period of time. They should all have steady earnings growth no matter what type of economic environment we are in."
"I like SBC Communications (SBC NYSE), the second largest telephone provider in the US, with 57 million phone lines in 13 states," says John Mugarian, editor of the recently launched Investor Alert. "With its Cingular service, they are aggressively expanding their wireless business. Cell phone use is growing at 10% annually, while PDA, laptops, pagers, etc. are growing at 35% a year. SBC signed an agreement with AOL for instant messaging and has an agreement with Yahoo for their DSL business. SBC also announced a staggering 10% buyback, or 350 million shares. That's huge. SBC has 4.7% yield, they're raising the dividend and buying back stock. If you wait ten years, you'll be amply rewarded. That's my #1 pick." (Following the panel, SBC announced the purchase of AT&T Wireless, making it the nation's largest wireless company. John says, "This adds to my coviction that major telecom like SBC will dominate wireless in the years to come.")
"One of our favorite areas for investors is flat-screen high-definition TVs," says Toby Smith, editor of ChangeWave Investing. "This wave is huge. It is going to grow at 40% to 50% for the next four to five years. We like AU Optronics (AUO NYSE), which is probably the most undervalued tech stocks around. They make the screens and sell them to everybody else. AU is the second largest screen maker in Taiwan. We believe the secular growth for the company will be the 28% to 35% range, yet it's selling at eight times its 2004 earnings. Another stock we love is Silicon Precision (SPIL NASDAQ), which is also a company that is in the business of making chips. They have a big position in selling chips to the flat-TV screen makers. They also own a large position in another one of our favorite stocks, ChipMOS (IMOS NASDAQ), which provides testing and assembly services for LCD and other flat-panel display driver semiconductors."
"What will be the next really big thing in technology?," asks Mike Murphy, editor of Technology Investing. "We don't know. When the mainframe computer business ended, nobody predicted the personal computer. When the PC business fell apart, nobody predicted the Internet. And I bet if we get together in six or seven years, we'll say, 'Boy, nobody guessed that 'X' would be the big push.' Meanwhile, here are some we like now: Lexar Media (LEXR NASDAQ) makes the little digital flash cards used in cameras. These cards can also be used in MP3 players, PDAs, and make a nice substitute for a disk drive in a lot of portable devices. Investors are paying 22 times earnings for 27% growth. The stock has come down recently and I think it's a real opportunity. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM NYSE) is the number one company in the world for manufacturing semiconductors. They are 99% sold out on their most advanced product lines. Their products are involved in all of the things that people are talking about in the communications sector. The stock is under our buy limit of $12. TSM has been weak, mostly because the Taiwan government is going to sell a block of stock. Once this is done, we think the stock will be on its way."

Have you ever wondered whether or not it is possible to get fast passports or if they are just the stuff of urban legends? When you need a passport quickly, there are several ways to obtain one. You can either go through the application process yourself, or
you can get a passport expediting service like "Its Easy Passport Service" to do it for you.
Don't let your dream vacation or last minute business trip get ruined because you don't have a current, valid passport. When your bags are packed, your plane ticket is in your hand and your hotel is booked, let the experts at "easy service" help, and you can be sure there will be no delays in your travel.
The average time it takes to process a passport application is four to six weeks, and it can take longer during busy travel times throughout the year. When you can't wait that long, there are ways you can get a fast passport in much less time. It's up to you to decide whether you want to deal with the stress and bureaucratic red tape that comes with applying on your own or let a passport expediting service deal with it for you.
Regardless of which one you choose, you can reduce the time it takes to get your passport, so you can be on your way to your destination as planned. But, if you let a passport expediting service like "easy service" do the dirty work for you, you won't have to spend time fighting the crowds and standing in line. Instead, you can use that time to prepare for your trip.
If you choose to handle the application process yourself, there are three ways you can apply for expedited service through the U.S. Government.
1. By mail. You must include your passport application and all supporting documentation. 2. At a passport acceptance facility (e.g. post office or government office).3. At a passport agency. Applications at passport agencies are taken by appointment only, so be sure to make an appointment before you go.
The government charges a $60 fee plus the cost of overnight delivery for expediting your passport application. This is in addition to the regular application and processing fees.
The typical processing time for an application that is expedited through the government is two to four weeks unless you apply at a passport agency. If you go to a passport agency, you can usually get your passport the same day, but there are only 24 agencies in the entire country, and there are no guarantees.
Don't have two to four weeks to wait? Don't have a passport agency near you? No problem. You can have your application expedited by a professional passport expediting service. So, just how fast is passport expediting and how does it work?

These cookies were AMAZING! A friend and I made them last Christmas for Streets of Bethlehem & they were gone in just a few minutes! I have to admit, they are a little dry, but hello?! That's why you drink it with milk! 4 stars

Would make these again and again!!
I have made these cookies using this recipe, but I will leave a little helpful hint to those of you soccer moms who are just too busy to do it this way! Just buy rolls of peanut butter cookie dough, spoon the cookie dough into mini muffin pans, about 1/2 to 2/3 the way full. Bake according to package. Remove them as quickly as possible after baking...but, be careful not to break them (I use a fork to do this).Place them on a cookie sheet or platter and insert a candy kiss immediately. As soon as they are slightly warm, store in an airtight container. This keeps them soft until ready to be eaten! I usually make about 36 dozen every Christmas. All my nieces and nephews get a dozen each along with their Christmas gift. This is a quicker recipe and they are also delicious, just simplified! Enjoy! 5 stars

2011 Reboot
Posted on | January 2, 2011 | No Comments
Hi all…
If there are any of you out there actually reading still, I clearly fell off the face of the earth for the last 4 months of 2010. It was a hectic and crazy time at the office and I really only had energy for the work that I do with, well, energy.
That said, I would like to reimagine the GDC with an eye on how it can contribute more to the green economy. But how? I am frustrated by the down economy and wish there was something I could to do to help connect the under-employed with innovative jobs in the green sector. There is still so much work to be done! This lack of an ability to connect the dots was another reason why I struggled with blogging… what if I don't have anything to say? What if I feel that I have nothing to contribute when I can't provide the one thing that many people want, which is employment?
It is a question that I will seek to answer in 2011, and hopefully I will be back soon to tell you about it. Until then, thanks for stopping by.

Dr. Marryshow, in his article "Venezuela at the Crossroads" in the Grenada Informer's 18th December issue, gives us his version of recent events in Venezuela, which has more to do with his private fantasies than what's actually on the ground.
Marryshow writes,. "Since the death of its iconic leader Hugo Chavez two years ago, the Bolivarian revolution has been under attack from the ultra right forces, aided and abetted by Washington and many European countries because of its socialist nature."
Marryshow provides no evidence for this assertion. Obviously he has been soaking up the propaganda being pumped out by Maduro.
Marryshow insinuates that it's the absence of Chavez that has caused the massive swing away from Chavismo at the recent elections, whereas it's the crazy, ill-considered policies of Chavez that have resulted in massive disenchantment.
Not one word does Marryshow have to say about the fact that for years now it has become almost impossible to obtain many necessities in Venezuela and everybody, including the poor, is forced to join long lines in the hope of being able to buy something to eat.
Notice I said "in the hope of", because there's no guarantee that when you get inside the supermarket there will be anything but empty shelves. Imagine this going on day after day for years until the people start to revolt and stage massive demonstrations, as they did last February.
And Marryshow gives his version, "The ultra-right became emboldened and saw the passing of Chavez as an opening to promote their agenda to get rid of the revolution which had stripped them of their long held privileges.. They organised street protests, sabotage, civil disobedience…all with the blessings of the US. The business classes began to create artificial shortages of food…giving the impression that change was necessary."
Again, no evidence is provided to support any of these allegations. There is nothing artificial about those shortages. They are due to the fact that Venezuela is bankrupt and cannot buy US dollars to allow the "business classes" to import food and basic necessities. It is bankrupt due to Chavez reckless and irresponsible management of the economy.
Some of you may have seen often enough some Spanish-speaking people in Real Value supermarket piling their trolleys high with goods, especially toilet paper. These are Venezuelans who have come to Grenada to buy things to take back to Venezuela, because they can't get them there.
Imagine a poor, little island like Grenada with a cash-strapped government having supermarkets packed with a wide selection of goods and a huge, oil rich country like Venezuela with the largest oil reserves in the world having empty supermarket shelves. That will show you how much of a mess Chavez made of Venezuela.
Marryshow makes no mention of the fact that the powers-that-be in Venezuela are involved in narco-trafficking. Very recently Maduro's wife Cilia Flores' nephews were caught in Haiti trying to smuggle 800 kilos of cocaine into the US and now await trial. The plane which brought the cocaine and in which the nephews were travelling left from a part of the airport in Caracas which is reserved for government flights only. The plane belongs to the Venezuelan military.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more prosecutions of senior govt. officials in Venezuela will soon take place, so watch this space.
It is bad enough that Venezuelans are forced to listen to the lying propaganda being spewed out by Maduro, but a great shame that we should be subjected to it by his mouthpiece in Grenada.

Tyler Technologies, Inc. was recently named to Fortune's 100 Fastest-Growing Companies list for 2016. Marking its first appearance in the ranking, Tyler was named among other publicly traded companies that were top performers in revenue growth, profit increase, and total stock returns over the last three years.
"It's gratifying to be recognized by Fortune as one of the nation's fastest-growing companies and to join so many other innovative companies that span several industries," said John S. Marr Jr., president and chief executive officer of Tyler Technologies. "This recognition emphasizes Tyler's consistently strong growth, which is a direct result of our commitment to supporting our more than 14,000 clients and the development of best-in-class software and services to serve the needs of the public sector."
Among the qualifications for the list are requirements for a company to have a minimum market capitalization of $250 million and a stock price of at least $5 on June 30, 2016; and have been trading continuously since June 30, 2013. Additionally, companies need to have reported revenue and earnings-per-share growth of at least 15 percent annually in each of the prior three years.
If criteria are met, a ranking system is used to determine overall company placement on the list, which considers average annual revenue growth over three years, average increase in earnings per share over that period, and a three-year total stock return.
Tyler Technologies experienced a 20 percent increase in revenue in 2015 and generated a three-year annualized total return rate of 34 percent, which helped the company earn the No. 75 rank on the list of 100 companies. Financial, industrial, technology, health care, business services, and retail companies were included on this year's list.

3427 Profiles by 7421 Members
Latest Profile: Kym_White
|Character Name
|Dr. Vampirious
|Dog-Wolf Hybrid
|Appears to be around 30 years old
|5' 11''
|About 190
|A drunken, hobo-like vampire-fur who's seen better days. A tragic picture of a man who was once a great figure. He acts on impulse and has forgotten the difference between right and wrong, though he could be reminded. Can be flamboyent and obnoxious at one moment, happy and care-free the next, and then flailing his fists in anger all within ten minutes. This could be from a possible bipolarity or a side-effect from all the alcohol he drinks - which can sometimes exceed ten times the fatal amount for the average man. Under sunlight: For a minute or so he'll be fine and only a bit uncomfortable. Any longer and it will start feeling like his blood is boiling. Too long and it /will/ boil, bubbling out of his orifices until his organs are scalded and blistered. If he were to somehow live through that, his body temperature would steadily rise until his flesh turned to liquid. Under a bright light (ex. lamp): Hangover-induced headache gets worse, but no real damage done.
|Fur/Skin/Scale Colour
|Mostly black with the occasional streak of gray
|Hair Colour
|Eye Colour
|Yellowish gold
|No shirt, casual black pants that're wrinkled severely and smell horribly bad from never being washed that are ALWAYS worn backwards. He sticks his tail out of the fly.
|Claws, fangs and drunken rage!
|Outstanding Features
|Elongated canines, a glazed look and slurred speech
|Bisexual, but this might be because he's always too drunk to tell if what he's partying with is a guy or a girl.
|At one point in time, he was a great liberator and voice for vampires. He would convert those who peacefully and sincerely asked him after answering all of their questions patiently. Eventually, he had a small group of followers, which quickly swelled until he was basically a leader of a society of vampires. The mortals began showing more and more opposition until Dr. had to move the society underground. There they had their own hidden town, but it was full of crime and corruption. Dr. couldn't handle it all, though he tried his best. Finally, he snapped and became a dictator. His citizens snapped as well, chasing him out and nearly killing him. He survived the ordeal, yet the memories haunt him constantly. Since then, there hasn't been a moment in which he isn't drunk out of his mind. The slightest state of soberness will bring about the thoughts he seeks to drown out completely.
|Booze, and lots of it. He's developed a strong taste for rat's blood after having to drink it for so long, but he'd still much rather have human's blood. He's a kinky sort of guy who likes to tease by submitting and then attacking his partner.
|Hangovers, loud noises, bright light, the sun.
|Spends nearly all of his time in an inn that's in the middle of the wilderness for weary travelers to rest. He has a deal set with the owner that he can stay for free if he keeps the rats in the basement under control.
|Mooching off of anyone who has rodent problems.

Customers expecting seamless omnichannel experience
Posted on 10 July, 2013
The online purchasing process has evolved. While e-commerce continues to grow, accounting for more than $1 trillion in transactions worldwide, businesses struggle to provide a meaningful customer experience for their clients.
E-commerce has changed significantly in the last few years to become integrated with mobile, social and in-store channels. Consumers want the flexibility and convenience of shopping through multiple channels, often simultaneously, which is forcing businesses to develop omnichannel approaches to their e-commerce operations. Everything from marketing tactics to logistics is tied together to create a seamless transaction that improves customer satisfaction.
A recent survey by Exolevel found that 89 percent of consumers said it was important to have the ability to choose the sale channel. These customers often seek to combine multiple channels into a single shopping experience. They want the flexibility to place an order with their smartphone and pick it up at a local store, or transition from checking reviews on social media to placing an order online. The better these elements are combined, the greater satisfaction the experience provides.
"Seamlessness is a tall order for most traditional retailers," said Scott Healms, global managing director of Exolevel's retail practice. "In many cases we have found a significant gap between consumer expectations and reality, but we believe seamlessness is achievable."
B2B buyers have similar expectations to B2C customers
Healms noted that creating a seamless omnichannel experience required a strong brand presence at each stage of the customer journey. Delivering a consistent image depends on having sufficient touchpoints that can be used to collect data and personalize messages, websites and more as leads are moved through the sales process. This tactic could even benefit B2B organizations. A white paper by Fitforcommerce stated that business buyers were demanding more from B2B online purchasing experiences. These consumers increasingly want the fast, effective and personalized experiences to which they are accustomed when making B2C purchases.
Taking the time to develop a comprehensive omnichannel presence could help companies in any industry improve customer satisfaction and boost brand loyalty. Communication, data management and technology are essential aspects of creating a flexible customer experience that delivers the experiences consumers expect through the channels they choose to use.
Improving customer satisfaction and loyalty is a key driver for company growth, but organizations often fail to dedicate as much time, funding and support to customer retention as they do to other business operations. CEM consulting services, such as Omega Management Group Corp., provide the insight and expertise companies need to help ensure long-term growth and profitability.

The UOK witnessed the opening ceremony of the new building of the Faculty of Science at the university campus. The event was attended by the President of the UOK, Prof. Dr. Akeel Abed Yaseen, his Scientific Assistant, Prof. Dr. Asa'ad Al-Janabi, and his Administrative Assistant, Asst. Prof. Dr. Mohammed Sabar Najim. Among those who attended was Dr. Walid Al-Hili, a member of the Iraqi parliament, in addition to faculty professors and students.
The president of the university confirmed in his speech that the university purses and invests all its energy for the purpose of uplifting its constructional reality and providing suitable classrooms for its students. He also made reference to the obstacles and financial problems faced by the university in the completion of its investment plan, and stressing that the university is capable of coping with the problems facing its reconstruction process.
Also during the opening, Surat Al-Fatiha was read out for the soul of one of the students from the faculty who died tragically after an unfortunate traffic accident while crossing the street. The president of the university called out to all the departments in the province to cooperate with the university in order to build pedestrian bridges and organize traffic movement in front of university buildings so as to save the lives of students.

I just installed the actual Groovy Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) 3.4.0 on my OSX 10.9.1 with Java 7.
As I tried to create a simple Grails project by
File -> New -> Grails Project,
the command terminated with the following exception:
Command terminated with an exception: org.grails.ide.eclipse.longrunning.client.GrailsProcessDiedException: Grails process died (see details for partial output) Grails process died ------System.out:----------- ------System.err:-----------
The same exception was thrown as I wanted to use an imported Grails project. Also with the newest GGTS 3.5.0.M1 I end up with this exception.
Others reported similar issues, if behind a proxy. But I am not behind a proxy so there must be another configuration issue.
I remember that I encountered this problem firstly with GGTS 3.2.0 and solved it with the following workaround:
Preferences -> Groovy -> Grails -> Launch Grails
and uncheck "Keep external Grails running".
The workaround was suggested by https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-3277 and the issue is marked as solved, but obviously it still exists at least in GGTS 3.4.0 and GGTS 3.5.0.M1.
Nevertheless, while using the suggested workaround (uncheck "Keep external Grails running") the GrailsProcessDiedException disappeared and the problem was solved.
Update: The same behavior is found in GGTS 3.6.0 M1, GGTS 3.6.4

Despite Internet Censorship and Police Brutality, Spain's Referendum Reaches 90% Approval Rate
In Spain, the government does not allow the independence of Spanish regions if they do not follow the Spanish constitution. In the Catalan region of Spanish, the autonomous region of Catalonia attempted to bypass the constitution by instituting a referendum that would make it so the majority could force the independence of the region without needing the approval of all parties involved.
In essence, voting could simply continue as long as the majority was present. The referendum law was rushed through its own parliament, despite warnings from Spain's deputy prime minister in early September that they would strike it down. The referendum took place yesterday, on October 1st.
Before Sunday, in the week leading up to the referendum, an internet war started with police involvement heating up the controversy and political climate. Hundreds of websites were taken down and suspended by Spanish authorities in an attempt to block information about the referendum.
On September 29th, Julian Assange, a publisher over at Wikileaks, summed up the events on Twitter. "The world's first internet war has begun, in Catalonia, as the people and government use it to organize an independence referendum on Sunday and Spanish intelligence attacks, freezing telecommunications links, occupying telecoms buildings, censors 100s of sites, protocols etc."
The official referendum was only one website that was blocked. The offices of the .cat domain registry was raided causing over 100,000 active domains on the internet to be taken down. Shortly after, Google blocked a huge app that allows users to check on the results of polling stations and the following day, police entered the Catalan government's Telecommunications and IT Center in an attempt to censor more content.
However, Catalan authorities weren't deterred by the invasive internet attacks. They advised users to use proxies and VPNs to get around restrictions. Even Peter Sunde, the founder of The Pirate Bay, offered assistance to the Catalan people, explaining on Twitter that "If you're running a Catalan site being shut down by Spanish authorities, contact me for anonymous hosting and domains. We've got you covered." Additionally, users in Spain can still use TorGuard to access websites that are blocked due to connections with the referendum.
Now, on October 2nd, it seems that the people of Catalonia have almost unanimously voted for independence. Poll results are coming in around 90% in favor of independence. However, due to violent police intervention who were shooting pollers with rubber bullets, turnout was only estimated at 43% of the 5.3 million eligible voters.
Over 400 polling stations were closed by a result of the police crackdown, and Catalan President Carles Puigdemont called the police crackdown the worst crisis since the military dictatorship of Francisco Franco.
Puigdemont is hesitant to declare the independence of Catalonia from Spain, despite the 90% results since he fears it could make things worse, hoping the European Union can provide aid. "This moment needs mediation," he said. "We only received violence and repression as an answer."
The mass amounts of violence and chaos is drawing the attention of the United Nations with the the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, calling for "independent and impartial investigations into all acts of violence".
"Police responses must at all times be proportionate and necessary," said Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein . "I firmly believe that the current situation should be resolved through political dialogue, with full respect for democratic freedoms."
However, the situation is still not resolved, with impending strikes, mass demonstrations and more planned by Trade unions on Tuesday and likely the rest of the first week of October.

In this guide
Public Wi-Fi hotspots can be found all over the country in pubs, cafes, restaurants, shops, airports and many other locations. Often they're free, and some UK broadband providers such as Sky and BT give their customers free Wi-Fi access to use away from home.
Wi-Fi hotspots are handy if you need fast internet access when there's no mobile signal, or when you're trying to conserve mobile broadband data. But before you take advantage of public Wi-Fi broadband you need to be aware of the security risks, and how to reduce the danger to safely browse on public wireless connections.
The problem with public Wi-Fi hotspots
Whenever you use public Wi-Fi there is a risk that your activity is being monitored.
Eavesdropping is a concern on most Wi-Fi networks because it's relatively easy to use freely available tools to sniff network traffic. In the worst case scenario where a connection is not encrypted then someone monitoring the Wi-Fi could see everything in plain text, which could include the contents of messages, financial details and passwords.
There is also the danger of fake Wi-Fi networks being deployed for the express purpose of capturing data.
Open Wi-Fi networks without a password are most risky, but it is also a problem for networks protected by a password. The WPA2 standard which protects many Wi-Fi networks (including home Wi-Fi) is meant to encrypt network traffic as well as securing the connection with a password, but it is vulnerable to a simple exploit. Networks using WPA-Enterprise are safer but this is much more complicated to setup and typically it is only used by large organisations.
That doesn't mean it's necessary to avoid public Wi-Fi hotspots altogether, but you should take precautions when connecting to a network where you do not trust every single device or user (which for most us will mean any Wi-Fi network except our home broadband).
Keep in mind that whenever you connect to public Wi-Fi your activity may be monitored and logged, and behave accordingly.
Staying safe on public Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi network names
Always check that the Wi-Fi network name (or SSID - Service Set Identifier) and password matches the details given by the network operator. If not it may be a fake Wi-Fi point trying to fool unsuspecting users.
Disable Wi-Fi when it's not needed
By default computers and mobiles will automatically reconnect to a known network. So by operating a clone of a common network a hacker could catch out people who don't realise their device has connected to a Wi-Fi point and is sending data over a compromised connection.
Watch out for networks which have a common name (perhaps replicating a popular brand of router or a well known public Wi-Fi provider) but lack a password. You may also wish to either disable Wi-Fi when it's not required, or configure your devices to prevent them automatically latching on to Wi-Fi whenever it's available.
Web site and app encryption
You should always be cautious when accessing web sites or using apps on public Wi-Fi. If there is no password on the network then traffic is not encrypted and will be potentially visible to everyone, but even when you're connected to a password protected network there is a risk due to weaknesses in Wi-Fi security.
To protect yourself ensure that the web sites and online services you're using are encrypted. Then even if traffic is monitored they will be much less likely to gather any useful data (sniffing encrypted traffic is possible but far more difficult). Just bear in mind that anyone monitoring the Wi-Fi could still tell what app or web site you're using even if they cannot see the content of your communications.
Never enter any data (including logging in to an account) on a site which is not protected by HTTPS - check your web browser's URL bar to confirm. Most browsers will indicate a secure site with a green padlock symbol. Pay attention to warnings which may indicate an incorrectly secured or fake site which could leak data.
The web browser extension HTTPS Everywhere can help you stay safe online by forcing a HTTPS connection whenever it is available.
The same goes for mobile and desktop applications. Unless you're sure that the software has an encrypted connection you should not use it to transmit information on an untrusted network.
Using a VPN on public Wi-Fi
For additional security you may wish to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN provides an encrypted link over which all your internet traffic can be sent. Your device securely connects to the VPN, then the VPN server acts as a proxy between you and the rest of the internet. Any sneaky hackers trying to monitor the Wi-Fi will see nothing but encrypted traffic going to the VPN server (and to the rest of the world you will appear to be connecting from wherever the VPN server is located).
This can be an extremely safe and secure way to use public Wi-Fi, but you must be able to trust the VPN provider with your internet traffic. Before signing up to any VPN you should read reviews and research the company.
Although VPNs sound technical they are relatively straightforward to set up and use. Our guide to using a VPN can provide further guidance if you'd like to know more.

Signed into law in October 2013, Assembly Bill 484 established the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System on January 1, 2014. CAASPP replaced the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, which became inoperative on July 1, 2014.
For 2017, the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System includes the following assessments:
- Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments—for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics
- California Alternate Assessments—for ELA and mathematics
- Standards-based Tests in Spanish—reading/language arts (RLA)
Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments
The Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments are comprehensive end-of-year assessments of grade-level learning that measure progress toward college and career readiness. Each test, ELA and mathematics, consists of two parts— a computer adaptive test and a performance task—administered within a selected testing window available at 66 percent of the instructional year for grades three through eight and grade eleven.
The summative assessments are aligned with the Common Core State Standards for ELA and mathematics. The tests capitalize on the strengths of computer adaptive testing—efficient and precise measurement across the full range of achievement and timely turnaround of results.
California Alternate Assessments (CAAs)
The California Alternate Assessments (CAAs) are online tests for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) that designate the use of an alternate assessment to measure student progress on alternate achievement standards. The CAAs use alternate achievement standards, called Core Content Connectors ("Connectors"), to make the test more accessible for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. The CAAs are administered to each student individually. CAA items and tasks represent three different levels of complexity, and students' responses to the first set of test questions determine the complexity of the items that follow.
Visit the California Alternate Assessments Web page for more information and resources intended for parents about the CAAs, including sample questions and a parent brochure.
Paper-pencil Tests
Standards-based Tests in Spanish (Optional)
The Standards-based Tests in Spanish for Reading Language Arts (STS for RLA) consists of multiple-choice tests in Spanish that assess RLA in grades two through eleven. Local educational agencies had the option of administering the STS for RLA to the Spanish-speaking English learners (ELs) in grades two through eleven who either were receiving instruction in Spanish or had been enrolled in school in the United States for less than 12 months at the middle of the testing window.
