The choice of implementing partners
24 May 2002
The internally displaced of Liberia's war are in a difficult position. As they are not refugees they do not have the same rights as a refugee. But they have fled the same war for the same reasons as the refugees, they just never crossed an international border. This means that they remain primarily under the "protection" of their own government. "It is true that a refugee camp closely resembles a camp for the displaced. In both instances, people have fled their homes and require material assistance including shelter, food, and access to health care. These similarities may have given the false impression that the operational response for refugees and displaced could be the same. The resemblance sadly stops at material needs and assistance ... Displaced people remain within their country, under the control and laws of their national authorities, and at the mercy of the threats and violence that may be the very reason for their flight." Most UN agencies working with populations affected by conflict (UNHCR, WFP, OCHA) work through implementing partners. For agencies such as OCHA, these partners, often local NGOs, actually implement most of their work. For the WFP this includes distribution of food aid in the camps, for UNHCR it is registration of refugees, for OCHA it is the care of the displaced people. This tendency to rely increasingly on implementing partners with limited control opens the situation to numerous problems, especially concerning the very pressing issues of protection and the delivery of assistance. This has raised the issue of the choice of operational partners, and concern for the quality and integrity of these UN operations. In Liberia, where open conflict is taking place and many of the displaced are fleeing all armed elements of this conflict, the operational partner and counterpart of OCHA to protect and assist the IDPs is the Liberian Refugee, Repatriation, Resettlement Commission (LRRRC). The LRRRC is a government agency that was started with the support of UNHCR in 1993. At that time there was no international body or UN agency mandated to care for IDPs, and LRRRC was created to fill this gap. Since then, the Secretary General of the UN has given OCHA this responsibility. One major role of LRRRC is choosing the location of camp sites and the registration of the IDPs. These registration figures are the official UN figures, and therefore dictate how much material assistance is given, and where. It is not a surprise that this government commission exaggerates figures and decides on new sites (quite a few near military bases) not according to the needs of the populations, but rather on the inflated figures. At the end of April, LRRRC and OCHA reported that there were 23,718 people in the camps close to Monrovia (VOA, Jartondo, Blamacee, etc.). MSF, which has been running mobile clinics in these camps, estimates that the figure is closer to 11,000. This can be seen when walking through the new sites. Of the shelters that are already constructed, only about 1/3 are occupied. This causes duplication of unnecessary work, and also opens up the possibility of forced displacement if the government feels certain groups need to be "re-grouped" and monitored. "Despite the fact that the Liberian Refugee, Repatriation, Resettlement Commission (LRRRC) is the ad hoc governmental agency responsible for IDPs, members of staff have reportedly facilitated Liberian security forces access to IDP camps which resulted in arbitrary mass arrests of suspected 'dissidents'. There were reports that high-ranking members of the LRRRC actually pointed out individuals who were 'supposed dissident collaborators' to the Liberian security forces resulting in their arrest and harassment. On 23 and 24 February 2002, ATU and SOD (Special Operation Division) forces reportedly entered several IDP camps near Monrovia and arrested men for 'dissident activity'. On 23 February the ATU were facilitated access to both the VOA and Zuana Town IDP camps where five people were reportedly arrested and taken away. The next evening, on 24 February, three pick-up trucks filled with ATU and SOD officers entered the VOA IDP Camp at midnight and arrested 45 young men. When family members protested the following day, all were released after payment of (US$4 - $30.00) for each person to the ATU." Since the beginning of March 2002, around 4,000 new displaced persons arrived at Sinje camp (Great Cape Mount County), the site of a pre-existing refugee camp near the border with Sierra Leone. This camp was divided into two section; Sinje I and Sinje II. The refugees from both of these camps have been going back to Sierra Leone with UNHCR for several months, leaving behind their empty huts. So when the new displaced arrived, they began to occupy some of the empty shelters. This was logical as all of the services needed were already present in this camp; clinic, water, shelter, toilets. Everything. However, LRRRC in concert with UNHCR (their main donor) decided that the IDPs should be moved to another site. This makes no sense except to create duplicate services and to control humanitarian supplies. Those agencies, which are expected now to create those duplicate services (after all, these people will need food, water, shelter), were not consulted at all about this decision. Some even found about it when it was announced in the Liberian Senate. According to the implementing partner arrangement, LRRRC should choose the site and the camp agency to manage it, conduct the registration and ensure the protection of the people.

So I'm using a clearblue easy fertility monitor this cycle and I would also like to do an HCG Trigger shot to help things along. The CBEFM is designed to detect your estrogen level and LH level. When it shows you "peak fertility", it's detecting a rise in your LH.
My question is, if I wait until the monitor tells me about my LH surge, is that too late to do an HCG Trigger?

i dont think it is too late at all, but that's bc i dont really believe in the trigger shot if you already have your own surge. and, you are doing a natural cycle right? so you dont have to worry about getting multiple follicles to release, so i think it is totally fine to wait until your LH surge to trigger. ive done 3 clomid cycles total in my life and with the first two, i was already starting to surge when i triggered, it's just the way it worked out...so i dont think it's a big deal at all. ...just my opinion : )

This morning I was rewarded by the sight of three of the four Rudbeckia plants quite a bit more alive looking than they had been last night and by the time I went out to unplug the fountain just before dark tonight the fourth one was catching up. Seems they're going to live after all. Hooray!
I was pleased to see a red rosebud nodding at me from outside the
window. Dad's rose is blooming again. Welcome back, Dad. I don't know
the name of this rose, it's an old one I do know that much because it smells
like a rose is supposed to smell. One whiff of it takes me back to
Grandma's garden with its long rows of rose bushes. That woman could really
grow flowers.
row of herbs have really been enjoying the increased heat and rain this
summer. I should take my snips out and cut off all the flowers and
trim them back so they bush out and don't get leggier than they already
of leggy, the tomato plants are going crazy making leaves and fruit. I took out that smaller bowl on the right this morning thinking it would
be enough to hold the tomatoes ready to be picked. Not even close. Not
counting the three tomatoes that the chipmunks have nibbled giant holes
in, look at how many were ready or almost ready to be picked. Durwood
and I have some catching up to do. We had tomato salads before
tonight's leftover chicken and rice and I suspect we'll have tomato
salads before tomorrow night's pizza. Can you eat too many fresh picked
tomatoes? I don't think so and Durwood certainly doesn't think so. He
had a banana and all of the split-skinned cherry tomatoes I picked for
breakfast this morning. The tomato plants are so lush that they're
falling over so I grabbed a couple more metal stakes (because the bamboo
ones just aren't up to the job) and propped up the heaviest branches.
I'd go out there and trim some of the leaves out to get some air
circulating through the plants to stave off molds and mildew but I'm afraid that branches would break and tomatoes would
be lost. Can't have that.
August 28--Louis Comfort Tiffany, Lamp.
On her walk home from her after-school job at the library, Lenore kept
track of things she could depend on. When she turned the corner from
Walnut St. to Vine St. she always saw Mr. Wineberg putting his gardening
tools into the shed. He'd catch sight of her, tip his straw hat with
the rip in the brim over his left ear, smile, and say, "Evening, Miss
Lenore." She smiled back and said, "Good evening, Mr. Wineberg sir." A
few houses up Vine St. she passed Mrs. Van Pelt's house with its wide
porch and swagged velvet curtains that framed the most beautiful lamp
she had ever seen. The shade was like an upside-down glass mosaic bowl
made up of tiny pieces of yellow and green glass arranged to look like
flowers and leaves. As the year faded and night came earlier she was
sometimes lucky enough to see the lamp lit, to watch it come to life and
glow with a richness she was sure only a special lightbulb could
had big plans to cut more clothes patterns out today but instead spent
the afternoon scanning in a 1994 dive trip album, then cropping them.
Now if I could only figure out how to convince the computer to copy them
from the hard drive to the CD I'd be in business. Maybe I'll google
it... yeah, that's what I'll do. I'm going to cut fabric tomorrow,
really I am.

Apparantly every year this fellow ,who goes by the name of Brother Judd, comes on the first day and preaches the word in a patently offensive manner. His schtick is that he goes to various campuses in the upper midwest and when he manages to piss people off enough to be assaulted he then sues the respective institution for not providing for his safety. He then takes the proceeds and repeats the process. Isn't religion grand?

Jubilee Party of Kenya set out to triple the meagre 66,000 votes Uhuru Kenyatta got in western province in 2013 to roughly 200,000.
Armed with seemingly bottomless boxes of cash, Jubilee top brass invaded western province. Not a single day passed without some top Jubilee Party apparatchik appeared in Western to extol the developmental qualities of Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto (President and Deputy President).
There is a Luo saying that no fly ever found any shit too smelly for its mouth. Like blue flies the political brokers emerged. They saw the Eurobond and wasted no time in claiming to embrace jubilee. They called press conferences to denounce Raila Odinga and protest "the lack of democracy in ODM". The media which is largely pro-jubilee trumped these stories.
Journalism which requires that they not only report an event but place it in perspective, fact check claims and if possible detect and reveal the motivations of any statements and claims was shunned. Readers and viewers were treated to raw propaganda often prepared and written by jubilee party operatives and just handed to the journalists to transmit to Nairobi for broadcast and circulate.
The party propagandists were not too far behind. They counted these brokers as proof of the "shifting ground" in Western. Populist and opportunistic declaratory statements without backing were taken as gospel truth. The fact that the brokers and defecting politicians were being paid or were motivated by the hope of earning from it was not pursued by the media. In any case most of the reporters were known to pursue politicians to hotels and their homes for handouts nicknamed "bahasha" (envelope full of money)
Keen observers always knew that the whole thing was a game. Those sent to Western to secure votes for Jubilee knew how hard that task was. Kakamega had long developed a slogan : Jubilee Tawe (simply translated means: any party but jubilee). The principled leaders know they would face serious political and personal challenges if they ever tried to defy the people and join jubilee. The people of Kakamega and not known for making empty threats nor tolerating treacherous politicians.
In 2005 Bonny Khalwale decided to support The Wako Draft which the rest of the opposition had chosen to oppose. His 3 million car was burnt in Kakamega town by anti-Wako Draft youth. Since that incident Khalwale and many other Western Politicians learned to heed the views of their people.
Why are the brokers dumping Jubilee now?
The elections are fast approaching. One needs to be in the popular party to have a chance of winning. Kakamega is an opposition zone where all parliamentary seats will most likely go to the different opposition factions. It is time to cut the eating of jubilee money and rejoin the opposition.
Most of the brokers had made it clear when questioned that they were in jubilee to raise campaign funds.
So now that the brokers are fast decamping from Jubilee back to the Opposition, would the propagandists review their positions? Nah! Do not expect it. Th I can safely predict that Washiali will dump Jubilee shortly. He has no intention of being out of parliament and once he has earned enough eurobond will follow his own people.
Apparently Ben Washiali was never consulted by his comrades when they decided to decamp. When asked by The Standard for a comment he said: "I treat as rumor because they have not declared it publicly. Jubilee is ready to defeat ODM in this county,"
Apparently Governor Oparanya is on a charm offensive to return these lost sheep back to the fold.
Jubilee can argue that while it lost some operatives in Kakamega, it was rewarded with the declaration by Labour Party of Kenya that it will support Jubilee in the coming elections. This is the same party where Former ODM Secretary General Ababu Namwamba decamped to. Namwamba is as of now forbidden to from representing or transacting any business on behalf of LPK. So his announcement must be a blatant defiance of the High Court.

Vices and virtues of today's Italy at MittelCinemaFest
Sun, 19/11/2017 - 11:25
(by Marco Patricelli) (ANSA) - PRAGUE - 'Vespa' is a universal symbol of 'made in Italy' surrounded by lights and mirrors that illuminate and reflect facets and contradictions of the 'Belpaese', seen through the prism of a camera: this is the symbol chosen for the 5th edition of MittelCinemaFest, scheduled to take place from November 30 to December 11, presented at the prestigious Luzern cinema in Prague. A showcase of the recent and recent production of Italy's cinema, which is becoming more and more popular in the Czech audience, so that this year the distributors have started working on a preventive basis. Mirius Film Distribution wanted Simone Godano's 'Wife & husband' to be screened at the opening of the festival and their representative Martina Kalova announced the Czech version is scheduled for December 14. Film Europe chose 'The Place' by Paolo Genovese to seal the 2017 edition, with the non-random screening of 'Perfect Strangers', Kristyna Haklova highlighted. The director of the Italian Cultural Institute, Giovanni Sciola, wanted to point out the festival's increasing popularity, not only in the capital city, but also in other major cities in the Czech Republic, such as Brno and Ostrava, hosting the projections in December. According to Ambassador Aldo Amati, ''the Festival has made Italy known and recognised for what it is, beyond certain phenomena and stereotypes, for its excellence, lifestyle and even its problems''. The secretary-general of the Italian-Czech Chamber of Commerce, Matteo Mariani, pointed out that culture can be a major economic driver , ''and that's why we believe in Mittelcinemafest and we are delighted by it''. Growth in attendance figures and widespread popularity show that this formula can be attractive and above all, that Italy's cinema, too often accused of provincialism, can instead express feelings and situations that go beyond the local cultural background. ''The films shown at the festival - Sciola added - go to Cannes and Venice. 'Fortunati' by Sergio Castellitto was also screened at the Karlovy Vary Festival''. The screenings are accompanied by meetings with the directors Marco and Antonio Manetti (also known in Italy for the popular television series ' Inspector Coliandro'), Silvia Luzi and Luca Bellino. At the festival close, a concert by Astor Piazzolla will be performed by the Bohuslav Martinu Orchestra in Zilin, directed by Walter Attanasi. (ANSA).

Asana: a full-featured task manager for iOS devices
An increasingly mobile workforce demands tools that don't require desktop access, so Asana's decision to offer people who use its versatile web-based task management service a full-featured iOS app is a smart move. (Asana says it's working on an Android option.)
Even better, the iOS version of Asana is, for the most part, elegantly executed. I tried Asana for iOS out on both an iPad and an iPhone. It looks more or less the same on either device, with appropriate adjustments for the smaller screen size of an iPhone.
While Asana had an iOS app in the iTunes app store before this, it was extremely limited in functionality, serving mostly as a viewer for content created in the desktop browser-based service. The new app does a lot more, allowing you to edit existing content and add new projects, tasks, comments, tags, attachments and more on the fly. Anything you do shows up practically instantly in the service, however you or your team members choose to access it.
One of a growing number of web-based services catering to the needs of workgroups (both small and large), Asana combines elements of project management, file storage, and communications. It offers several levels of organization, including workspaces (a way for users to separate, say, personal and business projects); projects, which typically involve multiple users and tasks; tasks; and subtasks.
You can assign tasks to team members (or yourself); give them due dates; and add attachments, tags, and/or comments. The mobile app launches with a home screen showing pending tasks and an inbox that's meant to eliminate the need to check e-mail for work done in Asana.
You can click on a task to view it, and creating a new task is easy--you simply tap a plus sign on the corner of the screen. But what I really liked was the quick-add screen for editing details of a task: It had a dozen buttons covering everything from due dates and assignees to tags and attachments.
Having all the data and components of a task in one place can be very helpful. For example, to illustrate this review, I created screenshots on my iOS devices and then attached them to a Screenshots task within Asana, which I later opened (for editing) in the web-based version on my desktop computer.
This was a lot easier than e-mailing them to myself, which is what I usually do. The only flaw was that all the screenshot attachments had the same name (image.png), so I had to open them to see what they were and then save them under different names.
Another nice editing feature lets you reorder tasks within a project (or subtasks within a task) by simply dragging and dropping them (much the way you can reorder a playlist). This comes in handy for managing meeting agendas: Any project (in this case, the meeting) participant can add an agenda item as a task, and the meeting organizer can reorder them, even at the last minute.

This is another book I've read through NetGalley. It reminded me a lot of some of the books I've read by Rachel Hauck. It had a mix of both Sweet Caroline and Love Starts with Elle.
Book Title: One More Last Chance
Published Date: May 6, 2014
A little bit about the book:
Sarah Cooley has come home to Last Chance, New Mexico, for one reason--because it doesn't change.
After an engagement gone bad with a man who wanted to change everything about her, Sarah is more than ready for the town whose motto may as well be, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Chris Reed, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to spark some change in the little town. As the new owner of the Dip 'n' Dine, he's shaking things up to draw folks from all over the Southwest into his restaurant.
As it turns out, the winds of change are blowing into Last Chance--just not in the ways that Sarah or Chris might expect.
My Review: One More Last Chance was a great book and I'm glad I read it. Chris and Sarah had godly character traits and always tried to make the best of every situation. Although the book was fairly realistic and true-to-life, it was still very interesting and exciting to read - a book I would recommend to anyone.

Horizons in Medicine 18: Updates on Major Clinical Advances
Jonathan M. Rhodes
Royal College of Physicians, 2006 - Medical - 311 pages
The papers included in this volume provide a fascinating review of contemporary pathology, diagnostic techniques, management approaches and pharmacological interventions. They are based on the popular Advanced Medicine conference organised annually by the Royal College of Physicians which aims to present 'the latest cutting edge advances in clinical medicine, supported by improved understanding of disease mechanisms'. Each chapter, by an eminent physician from one of a variety of specialties included, is followed by self-assessment questions, which allow the reader to ensure they have fully absorbed and correctly understood the chapter's key messages. Whether the reader's specific interest lies in, for example, 'Attacking the disease spiral in COPD', New drugs for diabetes' or Advances in Parkinson's disease' - to name but a few of the topics covered - the remainder of the book will provide them with an informative summary of advances in other fields of medicine.

On Saturday, we were invited to attend an event at Auntie P's church. Not really knowing what the event was, we showed up to her home in Parkside without expectations. We left Parkside around half past 5 and drove to the opposite side of East London where their church is. It's an enormous church built for hosting large congregations and events. There were certainly a lot more white people here than on the other side of town. It seems so odd to me whenever I see large groups of white people now. We walked in to find that this event was in fact a Christian youth rock concert called Goodstock. I don't really know how to describe this experience in words. It started at 7 and was still not over when we left at half past 11. Some of the bands that played were really talented while others were almost unbearable to listen to. But when you're worshiping and singing your heart out for Jesus, I guess it really doesn't matter what you sound like. There was also some gospel rap (something I had never heard before) and dance crews with names like Extreme Jesus Freaks. We danced around to the music and what what with everyone else and I just felt so contented to soak it all in. As a person who enjoys watching and observing other people's behavior, this was paradise. Ah the goodness of Goodstock...Thank you Jesus.
I returned home late that night to find myself preparing a talk for church the next day that I had neglected to write during the week. As tempted as I was to quote from the songs I had just heard, I felt like it would be hard to incorporate "shake, shake, shake it for the Lord" into my topic of service. I don't know exactly how Diana and I got roped into speaking in the ward. I'm really good at keeping a low profile in my BYU wards and avoiding any form of calling or talk-giving. I guess I stand out a lot more here or something. Diana and I ended up giving very good talks and I made it through to the end without shouting "Praise Jesus!" like I really, really wanted to. I used an article written by Rachel Naomi Remen for the bulk of my talk. It's called "helping, fixing, or serving?" and if you're bored (which you probably are if you're taking the time to read this) or are looking for some thought provoking reading, you should look her up. I believe this article was originally published in her book called Kitchen Table Wisdom. Anyways, I just really like what she has to say on how we approach serving the needs of humanity.
Tomorrow we are finally leaving for Cape Town and I'm über excited! Our trip had to be cut down a few days but I think it's still going to be incredible.

When You Realize that You Let the Money Go for the Wrong Reasons
"I thould never have wagered it all."
I've walked into the kitchen, pre-dawn, to find her sitting at the kitchen table, blowing cigarette smoke out an open window. Seeing me, she nervously stubs the cigarette out.
From here I can see that she is using yet another of her souvenir ashtrays, this one shaped like Clearwater County (Headwaters of the Mighty Mississippi!).
How many times do I have to ask her not to smoke in the house?
But wait. Where are my manners? You remember Dolly Gee Squeakers, don't you? When we last caught up with her, she was in this very spot, working on her March Madness basketball picks. A cross-eyed, Siamese mix with a penchant for Virginia Slims, WWE Smackdowns, and karaoke, Dolly has been with us for almost four years now.
And speaking of her karaoke, if you ever get a chance to run up to the Vegas Lounge on a Thursday night, you'll want to get an early seat: her version of Peggy Lee's "Fever" is legendary.
"Trouble?" I say. I don't really have time in the morning to be of much help, but I like to give the impression of being there for the kitties.
"Me?" she says quietly. "No. I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"You don't happen to have a couple buckth, do you?"
I frown. The look of worry on her face is touching, but since lending quite a large sum to someone who no longer returns my phone calls, I've adopted a strict hell-no policy on money-lending.
"No, sorry," I say.
Her attention is momentarily diverted to a handful of sparrows alighting on the roof next door, and her jaw bounces as she chatters with desire, her bright blue eyes on them as they hop from shingle to shingle.
She turns. "Hmm?"
"You gonna be okay?"
"Hmm," she says. Her eyes wander back to the sparrows, who flee in a burst of winged chaos. From her stool on the second floor, Dolly Gee Squeakers, formerly of the Humane Society Squeakers, sighs.
"I've been a fool," she says.
I stand still, mentally calculating the time left before I absolutely must leave for the bus. "How so?"
She shakes her head. "I let mythelf get dithtracted by the thingth I love. I thould've gone with my original method of determining who wath gonna win: big animalth beating thmaller animalth. Of courth Virginia'th Ramth were gonna beat the Jayhawkth."
She fixes her blue eyes on me. "Theep are much bigger than birdth."
A handful of birds land on the roof next door and hop down to the gutter, where they splash. She turns away from me to watch. "I jutht love the birdieth, you know?"
I consider my own recent money-losing venture. "We're all suckers for something, aren't we?" I say.
But Dolly is done talking. Her eyes on the birds, I watch her absentmindedly light up another cigarette, toss the spent match into the ashtray.
We're all suckers for something.

I'm not sure Dolly and I would get on.
I feel our opinions would clash
If she walked into my bar wanting to sing classics she would be left wanting. I'd shake my head and insist that she sings "Meeeeeeeednight – not a thound from the pavement-ah"
Dolly would fix me a disgusted stare and accuse me of not being very original.
"OKAY" I'd say, "how about a bit of Tom Jones?"
"No way José – you'll sing 'What's New Pussycat' and like it!"
At this point Dolly would be losing patience but I would hold steady. There would be a bit of a stand off.
Dolly would offer me Love-shack and I'd offer her Love-cats.
We would get nowhere. I would not be prepared to relax my rules about animals singing only relevant songs on my stage. Why would I allow such frivolity in my high class Karaoke bar?
At last, Dolly would fix me a tired look, shrug her shoulders and tell me my bar is crap anyway, before heading off to KFC.
I'd shrug my shoulders and pass the mike to Big Bird so that he can hum 'The Birdie Song', choking back the humiliated tears of indignity that were being forced upon him (he would have asked for Christina's 'Beautiful'), while I laugh and occasionally throw birdseed at him.
There is no place in my heart for talented pets.

My senior cat does not care for basketball anymore. Too bad; he sure knows how to dribble. Yeah, yeah, he's a bench warmer too. And foul trouble? Don't get me started.
He stopped making picks a few years ago and now prefers March Apathy.

Quick-and-dirty usage documentation for python integration tests
In addition to my addiction to python's doctest for WritingQualityCode, I'm developing a habit of letting my modules serve as their own integration tests when run as scripts. Python comes batteries-included with argparse, and Aargh is pretty cool, but for quick-and-dirty stuff like this, I tend not to bother at all. I just let python's stack traces serve as documentation.
For example, if it's been a while since I used source:raven-j/heron_wsgi/admin_lib/i2b2pm.py, I just run it, and I get:
(haenv):admin_lib$ python i2b2pm.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "i2b2pm.py", line 319, in <module> _test_main() File "i2b2pm.py", line 289, in _test_main user_id, full_name = sys.argv[1:3] ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack
The user_id, full_name = sys.argv[1:3] line is typically enough of a clue to remind me what arguments are needed:
(haenv):admin_lib$ python i2b2pm.py dconnolly 'Dan Connolly' DEBUG:__main__:generate authorization for: ('dconnolly', 'Dan Connolly') INFO:sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine:SELECT USER FROM DUAL ... INFO:sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine:{'param_1': u'dconnolly'} ('1f8c885f-43e3-4ace-8512-88e65494d59a', <User(dconnolly, Dan Connolly)>)

I am going to make up some leaders. Who do you think has the best hooks?
I am going to make up some leaders. Who do you think has the best hooks?
I would say Owner, or Gamakatsu
Lot of options, with most good. I'm perfectly happy with Mustads for bait.
But any you buy should be OFFSET at least a little. Worst I've ever used were some Eagle Claws that didn't have an offset. Man, talk about a bunch of missed hits.... All was well after I took them for a short visit to my bench vise. Added a little offset, and then they started fishing just fine.
+1 to brownbear
Here's an interesting read if you are tying your own leaders. I understand holding a rod is different than long lining but interesting to me nevertheless,
Page 397 on hook threading and the figure on 407 as its numbered on the document was my simple take away...I still HATE circle hooks off a kayak... that is a whole different story though.

The Green movement is among the greatest motions in America in a long period of time. Everybody is stressed over saving our planet and keeping it tidy. Wastefulness is the primary cause of pollution in our world today. A couple of ways to keep our Earth clean is to use reusable shopping bags rather of plastic bags, recycle anything possible, and to not utilize energy when it isn't essential. Keeping these easy ideas in mind will help the earth be a cleaner, healthier place for everyone.
This procedure helps our children end up being better choice makers. We talk with our children about all the choices that exist, and then take a look at the pros and cons of each option. After that, we must step back and permit our kids to make the decision that's right for them. Then, we can speak to them about how things worked out but never ever safeguard them from the repercussions of their decisions. This is where the learning occurs.
"Over the previous year and a half I have actually not concentrated on performance or recording but have actually been more attentive to the medical professionals, nurses and thoughtful Home Health Care in NJ who have been helping me face several medical obstacles. Throughout my life I never really provided much idea to my senior years. I was constantly able to get on a plane, head out on phase and make music with the band. At this moment I am no longer able to do that.
Exactly what's wrong? Think about the timing and quantity of the feeding. Personnel may have to talk with a parent about the have to alter. Sometimes very first time parents are so focused on doing as they were informed on their first medical professional visit that they really forget the baby is growing.
I keep in mind when my earliest boy was sixteen and working as a waiter in a local restaurant. He ended up being associated with a confrontation with a customer over a racial remark the consumer made. When hearing the story, I was incredibly proud that my child stood up for equality and fairness however was actually mortified by his immature, locker space behavior that he displayed! No, I will not print exactly what he did but suffice it to state that it was not a proud maternal minute.
To make a search, you just require a minimum of the surname of the person and the address. It is better if you have more information. Via a respectable background check website, you can pull up the case file of your subject. There is not ensure that he or she has not been involved in a crime before and the only way to know is to inspect the files. Your check up will either prove the individual "safe" or "unsafe" or possibly "incredibly hazardous". Choices are not going to be made for you on exactly what to do with such individuals; you will be delegated your own discretion.
As parents, you are accountable for your infant, and you are the primary caregivers, not some abstract parenting approach. If something is not working for you and you're tired all the time, maybe exactly what worked for us will work for you too.

American Spectator
John McCain: Sarah Palin Is No George Wallace
That it should be necessary to say such a thing is half the joke:
ARLINGTON, VA — U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement:
"Congressman John Lewis' comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale. The notion that legitimate criticism of Senator Obama's record and positions could be compared to Governor George Wallace, his segregationist policies and the violence he provoked is unacceptable and has no place in this campaign. I am saddened that John Lewis, a man I've always admired, would make such a brazen and baseless attack on my character and the character of the thousands of hardworking Americans who come to our events to cheer for the kind of reform that will put America on the right track.
quot;I call on Senator Obama to immediately and personally repudiate these outrageous and divisive comments that are so clearly designed to shut down debate 24 days before the election. Our country must return to the important debate about the path forward for America."
"What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history," Lewis said in a statement issued today for Politico's Arena forum. "Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse." . . .
"George Wallace never threw a bomb," Lewis noted. "He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama."

E-mail Classification for Automated Support Ticket Generation: Step 2 of 2, Create Web Service with Trained Models
By Shashi Lanka Venkata for Microsoft October 20, 2017
Report Abuse
Email classification experiment to assign an email to one or more class(es) of predefined set of classes or work queues.
The goal of this experiment is to classify an email into one or more predefined classes or categories and to create a support ticket or assign it to correct support team. This experiment has two steps [Step 1 of 2: Train model with data and Save trained models][1] [Step 2 of 2: Create an experiment using trained models and publish it as web service][2] Next optional step is to use this web service in CRM workflow, It can be found here. *APP Source CRM code Link to be added here* It is assumed that users have completed step 1 of this experiment and has Trained models saved in Azure ML studio. In this experiment, input dataset has two raw text columns: Email Subject and Email Body, and three label columns: Case Type, Case Subject, and Queue name. Once we train the model it should predict case type of the email, case subject and the queue name to which email belongs. The pipeline is similar to the training experiment, except that there is no model training and tuning – the models trained in the previous step are loaded here and predictions are made on all input data. This experiment has following steps 1. Import Data Module 2. Data Preprocessing 3. Text Preprocessing 4. Feature Engineering 5. Score model and add web service output module 6. Deploy and Test Web Service **Experiment Work Flow:** ![Work Flow][3] **Import Data:** Import data module of this experiments loads data from Azure Blob Storage, users can replace it with their own datasets like a file on the local system or online stores like Azure SQL Storage etc. In this experiment, we are providing email subject and email body as input to the model. **Web service input** module is also added to publish it as web service. **Data Preprocessing:** In this experiment email subject and body are combined as single text column Email_text. An entire row is deleted if any missing values present in data. Modify this data preprocessing steps depending on data. ![Data Preprocessing][4] **Text Preprocessing:** Use preprocess text module to specify required text preprocessing step such as remove stop words, remove duplicate char, replace numbers, convert to lower case, stem words etc.. ![Preprocess Text][5] The user can include email specific preprocessing steps if input email is noisier. **Feature Engineering:** In this step, we use **feature hashing** to convert variable-length text to equal length numeric feature vector.The objective of using feature hashing is to reduce dimensionality. ![Feature hashing][6] **Score Model:** Use Trained models from step 1 and connect to left port of **score model** and input data to right port of score model. Run the experiment and visualize the output to see predicted output along with probabilities. In this experiment execute R script module is added to fetch the scored label and probabilities and rename it for the end user to understand. ![predicted values and scored Probabilities][7] Repeat this step for predicting other two outputs and merge the result using **Add columns** Module and connect the combined results to the **web service output** module. ![Web service output][8] **Deploy and test web service:** Run the experiment and click on the deploy web service button at the bottom. A web service will be created for this predictive experiment, with all the details required to consume this web service. ![Web service][9] Click on the test button to test the Web service and provide input to require fields. ![Web service test][10] It will return predicted outputs along with probabilities. **Conclusion:** This experiment template can be used for Variety of email classification problems like sentiment analysis, spam filtering etc. In this experiment, we are predicting three label columns that are independent of each other but with little customization, this experiment can predict hierarchical outputs as well.

I dropped it off at my nearby unbiased VW Audi (who definitely have done a decent occupation on my 2 past Audi's M-Plate Coupe and A3 02 Plate TDi a hundred and forty) in Christchurch these days. They're changing the DPF force sensor + regen "exhibiting twenty% ash". I just googled it and found This great site – oh dear (facepalm) .. I'll have a chat when I choose it up tomorrow and see When they are viewing lots of these.
That is completely psychological! The number of miles has the vehicle finished in full? They may be quoted to last 80k – 100k on VW and 100k – 120k on Audi.
Then yesterday the DPF light-weight illuminated so following consulting the house owners manual I did a compelled regeneration in the DPF and it did eventually reset.
Funny knocking noises could be the prompted of gas diluting the oil so you'll want to Verify your oil stage and check what colour your gasoline filter is. This can be a sign that the tandum pump seals have failed.
The study discovered impressive results. Following a crucial investigation was performed in a lot of the non-public and community secondary colleges within the point out cash, it was discovered that learners within the junior secondary degree officer at most five pre-vocational topics that are: Agriculture, Home Economics, Business enterprise Reports, Workplace Apply, and Computer Science.
It's a fantastic position I did ultimately as the two systems I now use most are for recovery and therapeutic massage, (I'll arrive on to Restoration).
So I by now experienced the motor management gentle on for a few days and had it booked in to apparent that. A couple of times ago I drove it as much as Wales, it's was a four hour excursion so had to of cleaned out the DPF.
Will full the form when I have much more information. Audi have got again to me right now to say they have changed the sensor and performed the regeneration, but they wish to hold the car to street take a he said look at it more to check The sunshine isn't going to occur on all over again. Irritated I fully refuelled it about 2 miles prior to it went Erroneous, because they'll almost certainly be welly'ing it spherical Milton Keynes as I form. Nonetheless I do get to help keep the convertible for a nice evening.
In reply consumers would counter declare that an Audi should really past decades and if looked just after really should operate without problems linked to much less expensive possibilities?
I have a fifty six plate Audi A3 2.0TDI(a hundred and seventy) and also have experienced no problems by any means right until I received the injectors transformed in September beneath the remember. On a constructive Observe I observed my mpg leap up by about 7mpg although not long once the DPF filter warning arrived on(The very first time in 70k miles). Just about all my miles are motorway driving so I followed Recommendations and it cleared on my upcoming journey however it arrived again on nowadays along with the Engine Management light and also the Glow Plug warning gentle.

Guide to Visiting Warner Bros. Studios Harry Potter
The following post is our guide to visiting Warner Bros. Studios – The Making of Harry Potter, which was home to the Harry Potter film series for nearly a decade. We hope to help you plan your trip by telling you what to expect, how to get there, what it will cost, and what should not be missed. Additionally, we have also included a comparative list of bus tours that visit Warner Bros. Studios, as well as a list of Harry Potter Tours in London. Have a magical day in the wizarding world of Harry Potter!
Love Harry Potter? Join us on our walking tour of Harry Potter's London!
Getting There
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is essentially a museum showcasing the several thousand props, costumes, and sets that were created for the 8 Harry Potter films. The tour begins with a short video of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint talking about their time growing up on the set. Guests are then shown the front doors of Hogwarts, which they walk through to enter into the Great Hall. From that point forward, visitors are allowed to wander around at their will, enjoying the magnificent set designs and custom-made props.
The tour lasts approximately 3 hours, though some guests are able to speed through it in 1.5, while others are reported as taking up to 13 hours! Halfway through the tour, there is a small cafe serving up food and refreshments, including the wizard world's favorite drink….butterbeer! At the end of the tour, guests are brought into a large gift shop where they can buy anything from chocolate frogs and quidditch sweaters, to specialty wands and Harry Potter chess sets!
Though the Warner Bros. Studio is advertized as being in London, it is actually pretty far outside of the city! Luckily, it is very easy to get there by either car, train, or with a private tour bus.
TIP: The Warner Bros. Studio is about halfway between Luton Airport and London, making it a great activity for those who have a long layover at Luton but who don't want to venture all the way into the city.
By car: The drive from central London to Warner Bros. Studios takes approximately 1 hour, varying with traffic. The studio is located between 20-30 miles from London, depending on the route and departure time. Be sure to avoid driving into or out of London at rush hour, as traffic can get quite severe and add several minutes (and maybe even hours) to your trip.
By public transportation: Visitors can also use public transportation to travel to Warner Bros. Studios. Go to Euston Station and take the London Midland train to Watford Junction (20 minutes). Those with an Oyster Card should use that to pay for their ticket, as the fare is much cheaper (£5) than those purchased at a kiosk (£11). From there, visitors can take the FREE shuttle directly from Watford Junction to Warner Bros. Studios. Just look for the big double-decker bus with the Harry Potter images printed on the side!
By tour bus: There are several different tour companies that offer tours to the Harry Potter Studio. This is an easy option for those who are apprehensive about using public transportation or driving in the city. Below, we have detailed the best tour companies that visit Warner Bros. Studios.

Red toenails.
Damaged right big toenail from bumping toe on a step in Hydra in 1982: went black, fell out, new nail grew fungus and thick; had to go to Dr. Scholl every 6 months to clean and sand down; then used a fungoid tincture every day for a year and now it's almost as good as new.
Bunion on left foot.
Right leg has a scar on the side from surgery for polio and another one on the knee from the cast.
Left knee has a torn ACL, so I need to wear a big-ass brace when I play tennis to prevent knee from collapsing.
Left leg has a scar from falling down the stairs at the Foster train stop in Evanston sometime in the late aughts: wound got infected; had to take antibiotics which ruined my colon with c.diff.
Lower back had a herniated disk in 2000: took steroids, did physical therapy; now it hurts when lifting heavy objects.
Blue fingernails.
Head has suffered migraines for many, many years. Now it has a very small aneurysm somewhere.
Thick lips.
Big brown eyes.
Thick eyebrows.
Teeth are pretty good now after half a life going to the dentist for repairs, root canals, gingivitis.

A game room is one of the best places you can let loose and unwind. Whether it is a place to relieve yourself of stress from the daily grind or to entertain your guests during parties, the game room is an entertainment paradise right inside your own home.
When transforming any space into your very own in-house game room, here are some tips that you may want to consider:
First, look at the space that you plan to use. Imagine the furniture, games, and accessories that can fit in it. Once you think the place is enough for your future gaming haven, then clear the room out and clean it.
Second, check if the area is conducive enough for leisure. If the place is too stuffy and has a hot/cold ambiance, take steps to change this. You can start painting the walls, have more ventilation, and add fixtures if the place is too dim. If the floor is uncomfortable to step on, try placing carpets and rugs; if you have extra money, consider installing some hardwood.
The final step is turning your game room into reality. Envision how the place is going to look like. Know the game furniture that you'd be interested to buy and know where to put them.
