Short for Sender Policy Framework, an extension of SMTP that stops e-mail spammers from forging the "From" fields in an e-mail. As SMTP itself does not carry an authenticating mechanism, the SPF extension provides the authentication scheme by specifying which computers are authorized to send email from a specific domain. In order to use SPF, the domain sending e-mails must establish an SPF record that is published in DNS records. When the e-mail passes through the DNS server, it is compared to the SPF record for that domain to determine if the sender is indeed authorized to transmit e-mails from that sender's address. If the e-mail comes from a domain that is not authorized, the DNS server will not forward the e-mail to the expected destination.
SPF is one method that can be used to stop spam from being sent using unauthorized domain names. However, it should be noted that SPF only stops the spammer from forging the "From" field in the e-mail and does not stop the spammer from sending e-mails from a domain in which it is a member.
SPF was formerly called Sender Permitted Form, but the name was later changed while the abbreviation remained the same.

Look, Ma, I'm on
TV a poster! "The Maze Runner" cast member Will Poulter (he plays jerkface Glader Gally) had a little Twitter meltdown on August 24 when he and his fellow co-stars discovered posters for their movie in the wilds of Los Angeles.
Poulter and co-stars Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Alex Flores and Chris Sheffield were together for the beginning of the movie's press tour, according to Poulter's Twitter, when they spotted the posters. They all started screaming their faces off and then had a little photoshoot in front of them, natch.
We literally all screamed THAT'S US! And we pulled over!!! Thank you Maze Runner fans, you make all this possible!!! pic.twitter.com/pI3YC30RNR
— Will Poulter (@PoulterWill) August 25, 2014
Our leader and buddy – @dylanobrien !!! #TheMazeRunner pic.twitter.com/46nyeIFeLw

Seems like director Wes Ball felt a little left out of the fun.
"@wesball: @PoulterWill where'd you guys find this! Been waiting for folks to see it." Outside a gas station in West LA brother!
— Will Poulter (@PoulterWill) August 25, 2014
If this is any indication of how the rest of the press tour is going to go, we're in for high levels of adorableness.
"The Maze Runner" races into theaters September 19.

"This Train Don't Stop There Anymore" might have been the end of Justin Timberlake playing Elton John because Tom Hardy just nabbed the lead role in an upcoming biopic.
JT might have been John's choice to play him in "Rocketman," a biopic that he and his partner David Furnish are producing, but on Wednesday (October 23) it was announced (via Deadline) that the "Dark Knight Rises" star will be wearing a lot more sequin and feathers come fall 2014, when production is scheduled to start.
Back in early 2012, John mentioned Timberlake for the role as "#1 on my wish list" and spoke briefly about the tone of the film, which is written by "Billy Elliot" scribe Lee Hall. The focus of the biopic will be limited to John's battle with alcoholism in the early 90s and the time he spent in rehab.
"It's going to be a surreal look at my life, and not just a factual look at my life, more in the manner of a 'Moulin Rouge!' " John told the LA Times. "I just don't want it to be a normal biopic because my life hasn't been like that. And it only goes up to when I go into rehab in 1990. It starts with me going into rehab and ends when I come out."
Though Hardy is best known for his roles as brutal tough guys in movies like "The Dark Knight Rises," "Inception," and "Warrior," throughout his career he has shown a bigger range than mainstream audiences know him for, a prime example being "Bronson" from "Drive" director Nicolas Winding Refn.
Since the film will cover one of the darker chapters of John's life, you can bet that Hardy will throw himself into the role completely.

Nearly everybody agrees that the tax system is broken. Jimmy Carter famously said it was "a disgrace to the human race," and for once Mr. Carter spoke for just about everybody. But every line of the tax code has a fierce champion. Introducing a reform plan is a guaranteed way to make enemies.
Rep. Dave Camp, the Michigan Republican charged with oversight of the Internal Revenue Service, had the courage Wednesday to introduce a plan to make Tax Day less obnoxious. There's much to like.
The draft consolidates the current multiplicity of personal tax rates — 10, 15, 25, 28, 33, 35 and 39.6 percent — into a 10, 25 and a special 35 percent rate. The latter applies as a surtax for married couples making more than $450,000. The arrangement is not the single rate that would be ideal, but it's significant progress nonetheless.
The figures weren't chosen at random. Mr. Camp worked with Democrats and well as Republicans, solicited opinions from members of the House and Senate, and did his homework. He came up with something that might make it to President Obama's desk.
Reducing the corporate rate to 25 percent over five years, so that it is no longer the highest in the industrialized world, seems to be one of the plan's best features. Even Mr. Obama has expressed support for the concept. The leadership of the RATE Coalition, a business group that has been pushing for corporate tax reform, congratulates him and thanks him for delivering on his commitment to simplification, base-broadening and reform on the corporate side.
Yet an analysis by Cornerstone Macro suggests the "pay fors" used to reduce the rate will adversely affect capital-intensive industries to favor businesses like those in the retail sector. Successful small businesses that pay taxes on the personal side of the ledger, the backbone of the U.S. economy, would still pay a higher tax rate thanks to the 3.8 percent Obamacare surtax. In certain cases these firms could realize enough income annually to trigger Mr. Camp's new surtax, putting their actual rate somewhere north of 38 percent.
These complaints shouldn't distract from the positives. A perfect plan based on sound economic theory would be dead on arrival. Tax bills must have class envy provisions, or they won't get past Harry Reid's Senate, much less Mr. Obama's desk. The biggest hurdle even with Mr. Camp's compromise is that easily intimidated members of both parties are wary of going on the record with a vote to eliminate the broadly popular deduction for state and local taxes and to cap the deduction for new mortgages at $500,000. Yet such deductions must fall for the rates to lower.
Rather than see this as an exercise in futility, the proponents of a fair, flat tax code should be encouraged. The ancient Chinese maxim reminds us that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The largely successful Reagan-era tax reforms started in the late '70s with initiatives like the original proposal of the late Jack Kemp that most assume had only a small chance of becoming law.
The current tax structure is a serious obstacle to economic growth and prosperity. Realistic plans must be proposed to have any chance of clearing that obstacle. With the House taking the first step, we're a little closer to rescuing the economy.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SEfm7gW5ag] My report on our emotional visit with entering CLM clients will have to wait one more day. Now, for a bit of the lighter side of visiting microfinance organizations and borrowers.
During our first half-day in Haiti, my colleague Kate Druschel and I adopted the personas of worldly, well-travelled anti-poverty professionals when advising Yeardley – who was in deep learning mode. At one point over lunch we said, "Yeardley, you should probably avoid eating these things, even though Kate and I will probably eat them since we have built up immunity over the years." It sounded slightly pompous to me when I said, it, although it was probably true.

It does not explain when or why a verse was revealed, but rather the truth that it represents. Subjects
Prophet Muhammad And His MiraclesProminet scholars of Islam say that the evidences of Muhammad's prophethood and his miracles amount to about 1000.

Miracle Boy Survivor of the Haiti Earthquake
An estimated 100,000 children were left orphaned by the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, but Kiki, luckily, is not one of them.
"They're really struggling," says photojournalist Allison Shelley, who tracked down the family in November for Reader's Digest.
"The adults share a couple of mattresses on the floor, and the kids sleep on piles of clothes and comforters." Even so, the Joachins are better off than many in this beleaguered country, where more than one million people still live in tent cities and more than 2,000 have died in a cholera outbreak. An estimated 100,000 children were left orphaned by last year's earthquake, but Kiki, luckily, is not one of them.
Even around his parents, however, he is a timid boy, given to one-word answers, still struggling to find his place in these new surroundings. Asked which he likes better, the quiet village of Depale—where he has spent the past 12 months—or his bustling hometown, eight-year-old Kiki answers without hesitation: "Port-au-Prince."
That's where he was January 12, 2010, when a massive earthquake struck Haiti. As the ground began convulsing, Kiki's mother, Gracia Raymond, ran from the porch of their apartment building in search of her five-year-old son, David, who was outside fetching water. Bloodied by falling cinder blocks, she began frantically burrowing through the crumbled concrete toward her five other kids. She could make no headway.

... You can no longer walk up to and between the stones as it is roped off and you walk around it on a gravel path. It is still impressive. Having seen the Avebury stone circles a couple of days ago, the stones here are much bigger and closer together. They also seem more complete. While some say you can skip Stonehenge if you've seen Avebury, we're glad we did both as they are each unique in their own ...

When we finished at the Baths, we walked around the corner to the Huntsman Inn to attend the 'Bizarre Bath' Street theatre at 8. It's a combination walk around Bath with humorous commentary and a bit of magic. If you like British humor at all, this is a really fun evening out and a good way to walk off ...

The rapids were fun and we hit them at top speed thanks to Anna's enthusiastic chanting which kept us all in time. She was named the captain of the ship. In true Oxford linguist style ...
... that's a bit of an exaggeration.
We did walk into the old town,that dates from 650AD however its fame really commenced from the 1600C,,they have tried hard to make the place interesting.... but for us one night was enough.

There are many issues with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part Two, the overly punctuated title, the shameless splitting of the last book into two films without checking if there was even enough plot for one, the continued insistence that there is any kind of screen chemistry between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. But there are some things that should only be discussed with those who have already seen the film or who have no intention of doing so, ie, the movie spoilers that are also plot spoilers.
10. Digital infancy (and adultcy)
Stephenie Meyer is said to have feared the final book in the Twilight saga could never be made because digital technology would have to improve in order to portray the infant Renesmee as she intended. Well, she can rest easy, baby Nessy (and yes we'll get to that nickname) was a visual success - assuming the goal was to portray her as a freakish looking digital reject from Titan AE. That baby is the first truly terrifying creature in these five films, looking neither human nor half-mortal, just like an early demonstration of what Peter Jackson was trying to avoid with Gollum. The moment where Bella met Renesmee was far more precious (MY precious) than maternal and almost explained why Bella had all the maternal instincts of a park bench.
Then there was that end scene with the older Renesmee wandering with the Twilight trio on the beach. Somehow she looked digital there too. Perhaps that's what you get when two one dimensional characters breed.
9. The National Geographic vampire special
The scene in which Edward takes Bella hunting for the first time was gut-wrenchingly awful. First off, how many different animals were we going to get long, drawn-out, close-ups on? It reached a point where Sir David Attenborough should have started planning a Forkes documentary series. If he did, he could do an episode on the local species known as the Shrieking Bad Running Effect Banshee. Seriously, after five films they still can't make the running vampire look at least as good as the Six Million Dollar Man from the 1970s TV show. It would have been more convincing if Edward and Bella had been making na-na-na-na-na noises as they raced along. At least then they could have changed their facial expressions from the permanent 'What's that smell?' look they wore the entire time they were 'running'.
8. Parenting 101 with Charlie
It was hard not to feel sorry for Billy Burke in this film. His career is on the up, he's made it through the saga without having to engage in any of the glittery shenanigans. He's still rocking that facial hair. Then just as he thinks he's going to pull an Anna Kendrick and make it out of the series with only an appearance in the strange end-of-saga montage, he gets told he has to shoot a scene in which Jacob comes out to him as a wolf - only after a bizarre half-hearted your-daughter-is-dead fake out though, because Jacob is such a prankster. Fair play to both he and Taylor Lautner, they tried to play it for laughs, but when the director chose that to be the only time in the entire series that a wolf carefully removed every piece of clothing prior to changing it made the whole thing a lot longer than it needed and cranked the awkward up to 11.
Then Charlie got to meet his "adopted" grand daughter and was handed a scene where the direction he was given was apparently at best "play numb" but more likely "we just need you to get out of the way." Suddenly the all-caring parent of the first four films was a guy who had better places to be, probably starting a new relationship so we didn't pity his new found solitude. His character crucified in the interests of plot efficiency, Charlie ducked off to wait until he could attend the world's most awkward Christmas where he could finally get the farewell he deserved, sent to sleep with the fishes ... oh no, he was just sent fishing. Great farewell that.
7. 'Nessy' and a world of discomfort
Apparently the solution to the social discomfort created by the ridiculous and more-than-a-little icky adult Jacob 'imprinting' on baby Renesmee was a terrible joke about Loch Ness. Kirsten Stewart clearly didn't want to deliver that line, we didn't want to hear it. Yes humour is a great way to deal with the elephant in a room, but (a) this joke wasn't actually funny, and (b) this particular elephant is the kind that needs to submit its name to the local authorities so it can be on a watch list. Perhaps if they'd made THAT joke, particularly given Charlie is the local authority, perhaps it would have ... no, not even then. Bella's reaction to the imprinting was that of a shocked mother who has read ahead in the script. Everyone just wanted to get past it and hope the audience would forget. We didn't. The film should have been proud of its genuinely unique story point, worn it with pride. Perhaps had one character always make jokes about it. By being ashamed of it, it just made the whole thing worse.
!!SERIOUS SPOILER ALERT: Don't read on if you want to remain spoiler-free.
6. Dallas endings and random acts of narration
Not one but two of the hallmarks of lazy filmmaking were key to the entire film. After the initial rounds of vampire sex, vampire hunting and Nessy joke killing, how to advance the plot? Easy, get Bella to crank out the old voice over. Except the film didn't start that way and we'd really rather lost the whole Dear Diary aspect of the Twilight Saga a while back. Still, at least they didn't use the old "it was all a dream trick."
Oh wait.
To be fair, the fake-out battle-didn't-really-happen moment was actually done well, but it was the only moment of drama or plot twist in the entire film.
5. DVD special features in the film
Sure, one expects a healthy dose of montages in a film such as this, but having already included the deleted scene where the actors prank each other (Jacob and Charlie) and the commentary track (Bella's vastly unnecessary narration), the addition at the end of a five minute "let's just check with every actor who has ever appeared in this series" over-effected PowerPoint display was bizarre. It didn't even pretend to add to the story. Instead it just added to the running time. Particularly nice to see both actresses who played Victoria get a look in. Not. Awkward. At. All.
4. Can I get a witness?
Let's overlook the use of the word witness when they clearly meant gang / army / posse / support group. The global quest undertaken as the lesser known Witness Location Program delivered some pretty unimpressive results both in terms of quantity and identity. We spent a lot of time with these witnesses and yet managed to learn shockingly little about them. At the end as they all went their ways and we were told in voice over where they were going, it was hard not to wonder if we weren't seeing some of them for the first time. For those that didn't have electric hands or a Captain Planet like ability with the elements, there wasn't even a nod to backstory. That is of course except for the token nationality stereotypes, which brings us to ...
3. Can I get an accent?
The Russians were just comical. The Irish were mildly offensive. But there were several sets of witnesses who appeared to hail from Dubioiusaccentopia, a small nation state that drifts wildly around the globe.
2. Can I get an actor (and an optometrist)?
Finally the Cullen clan got to hang out with Bella more and wasn't it a great experience. Alice let us all know what it is like to see the future when she walked into the room carrying a vase of flowers that may as well have had DROP ME WHEN SHOCKED written on them, Jasper really emoting how concerned he was about Alice immediately afterwards by racing vampire-style to her side to look confused. Everyone getting to wear their ill-fitting amber contact lenses a lot more so we could enjoy again and again the joy of a vampire who can look in two slightly different directions at once.
Then the witnesses arrived and the bad acting vampire olympics truly kicked off with the Russians winning by a nose.
1. Powerful Bella the impotent
So, Bella was the strongest vampire there. We know this not only because Edward kept telling everyone, but because she participated in a brief bout of rock abuse to prove it. Bella is strong. Bella has a family to fight for. So Bella ...
... did bugger all in the final (imaginary) fight. She told the dingo to run off with her baby then mostly stood around being really strong as she watched everyone else fight.
And one more ...
Endings are important, so it would have been really nice if this film had had one and didn't just peter out like an article that doesn't know how to finish.

The Evolution Of The Megane
The Megane was initially introduced in 1996, and has had three incarnations since. Each version of the Megane is drastically different from the previous model. The Megane I was quite sleek with soft lines, whereas its successor the Megane II, had much sharper lines and a rear end people either seemed to love or hate. The latest version of the Megane has seen a return to the sleeker lines of the first Megane, but now with a far more purposeful look.
Renaultsport have sprinkled their performance magic on much of the Renault range, and the Megane is no exception. There have been a few different versions of the Megane RS, as well as special Trophy editions. The Trophy editions are race designed versions of the road going car, whereas the RS versions are available to the general public, and have always been popular with hot hatch fans.

Sylvan Learning of Toledo has integrating iPad technology in hopes of accelerating and enhancing the quality of education for local kids.
The ??SylvanSync?? program is a digital tutor aimed at improving math and reading skills.
??Technology has become a really huge part of learning and it??s changing the way kids learn,?? said Tamara Callejas, director of Sylvan Learning of Toledo.
Here??s how it works: Students are tested before enrollment for an assessment of their skills, then a lesson plan is put together to meet individual needs.
??They can work at their own pace, so if they are really struggling with a concept the class doesn??t keep moving,?? Callejas said. ??We go back and reteach until they have it and can master it confidently and independently.??
The iPad is included with the program and is taught by Sylvan certified teachers.
For more information call 419-867-1331.
Do you think a digital tutor is more effective than an in-person tutoring? Weigh in below.

Packing for Africa
... of swims, fabulous! Dinner out tonight at Chef's Table Bar & Restaurant in Roseville - excellent! ENTREE of prosciutto wrapped peaches with rocket salad; MAIN Southern fried chicken on mashed potato (3 day preparation) - fantastic! Need to finish packing now .... hopefully I'll be able to shut the suitcase!! LAST big ...
Pre-preparation pack for Tanzania!
... then did some grocery shopping on our way home.
I fixed dinner tonite (salmon & veges). After dinner went for a walk along the street in the warm setting sun.
Now I need to think about packing for Africa, one more day before we set off :-)
Hanging out at home ... and out & about
Sunny & clear: 17-34c
Another shopping expedition in the morning (Kohl's) - bargains galore!
Went swimming again in the afternoon and it was fabulous!
After dinner walked up Coldwater with MaryJo - beautiful warm evening and glorious sunset.
On the way
... Eagle Lake through the Modoc National Forest, and had the highway pretty much all to ourselves. Mt. Shasta kept an eye on us all the way to the Oregon border, where we picked up 97 in Klamath Falls. Continuing north past Crater Lake (no time to stop this trip) we arrived at our motel in Chemult after a nine hour day in the saddle, tired but excited about the trip ahead.
Haley's blogs
... survived one of my 8 weeks in Europe without dying or being mugged or falling off the swiss alps, in fact I feel great! If you have been reading the rest of my family's blog, you know that I fell headfirst off my bed with my backpack (20+pounds) on and got so stuck that I had to wiggle out myself while my parents just stood there and laughed. If you don't, you know now. Because my backpack was so heavy I reduced the weight drastically and it is now just under 18 pounds. ...

Social psychologist Halvorson, a blogger for Psychology Today and assistant professor of psychology at Lehigh University, tackles attainment of goals in every area of life from relationships to sports. Extensively reviewing past studies on self-esteem, motivation, and pursuit of goals, Halvorson sidesteps conventional notions about achieving success, particularly the idea that one should imagine oneself achieving goals easily. She cites studies by psychologist Gabriele Oettingen showing that those who think the path is difficult invest more effort and work harder: for instance, "people who believed that getting a good job after college would be easy sent out fewer applications." The ideal, Halvorson says, is to think positively about achieving one's goals but to think realistically about the effort that will be required to achieve them. Halvorson then goes on to advise readers on how to set appropriate goals, avoid obstacles, and exercise self-control to stay on track. "Don't visualize success," she warns. "Instead visualize the steps you will take in order to succeed." Despite repetitious instructions, Halvorson makes academic studies palatable by writing with clarity and interspersing personal anecdotes along the way. Many will find her insights of value.
