Big ag money corrupts Missouri lawmakers
From the Heartland, Margot McMillen writes: There's some big money behind Missouri's HJR 7 and 11, which has been dubbed the "CAFO/Monsanto Protection Bill." That's the bill that wants to "forever guarantee modern technology" in agriculture, without saying what exactly that means. The Senate made the bill better, taking out the language that would have destroyed local control. That wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the huge number of phone calls and visits to legislators we generated. Now HJR 7 and 11 is going to a Senate/House Conference Committee where the House will try to put the bad language back in. Any day now. Our citizen lobbyists are tired and that's exactly what the corporate expected and want. They hope we'll give up. And, besides that, there are several agriculture omnibus bills (SB9 and SB 342) that would take away the right for county commissions and health boards to pass local health ordinances to protect the health of their citizens. This form of local control should be maintained. With only 3 weeks left in the session, you'd think they'd be bending their minds to better things, like passing a budget or working on the health care crisis that will undo our rural hospitals. But, no. Senate Bill 342 & Senate Bill 9 would mandate that any county health ordinances would have to be passed word-for-word by both the county commission and the county health board. It's another level of unneeded government bureaucracy. Here's the deal: Monsanto has just promised 600+ new jobs to the city of St. Louis. And St. Louis is the tail that wags the dog of our state. The newspapers are all excited about it, trying to out-gush each other with enthusiasm for the expansion. Monsanto expansion may, or may not, be real. We've seen these expansions fail a lot of times, and we've seen them succeed at government expense. Some kind of tax abatement promised, some kind of bonds issued. But, for Missouri lawmakers, the chance to say that they're bringing new jobs to the state is enough to get them re-elected. That's life in the heartland. So we need to call our representatives AGAIN to protect local control and the state constitution. We can't give up. Meanwhile, the day turned dreary and all the chores took two or three times as long as usual. Tomorrow, sunshine is predicted, and a fun day with my pal Laura, travelling the countryside in search of the perfect foxtrotter horse for one of her customers.

Consumers are in charge of their food system
From the Heartland, Margot McMillen writes: A gorgeous day today! I started it outside, when Jerry, still recuperating from heart surgery, came to trim the horses' feet. Barb's little white pony could hardly get out of the barn, but he trimmed her and said she'll probably be fine. It's really hard with an equine that's foundered. When spring comes and the fescue gets green, they just overeat and whatever healing they did gets undone. We have several horses and ponies to go, but she was the most urgent case and Jerry left after trimming her and my big old fellow, Rocky. We made appointments for Tuesday and Thursday next week. Coming back inside, a phone call from a news reporter about my grain project, connecting consumers with local grain. Uprise Bakery, mid-Missouri's finest, has started using local wheat for one of his bread recipes. What did I think of that? I think it's fabulous. The reporter was very patient, trying to absorb all the details. It's hard, when all your breads have come wrapped in plastic from who knows where, to understand how it all begins. Wheat. Farmers. Flour. Millers. Yeast. Bakers. Who knew? The main thing, as I told her, is the consumer. If consumers demand a certain kind of product, the stores will get it for them. Consumers are driving the system, but they hardly ever know it.
Let's deep-six loophole that allows Apple & other U.S. companies to avoid U.S. taxes on foreign earnings
By Marc Jampole
For those still wondering who benefits from the government intervention into the economy, I refer you to the case of Apple.
Apple management wants to shore up its recently plunging stock by increasing the dividend and instituting a stock buy-back program. Higher dividends tend to raise stock prices, as do stock buy-backs. Apple has plenty of cash, so why not? As of 18 months ago, the computer and gadget behemoth had some $76.2 billion cash on hand, more than the federal government had at that time.
Except that the cash-rich and debt-free Apple is borrowing money to pay investors and buy its own stock. And why would it do a thing like that?
The federal government has forced interest rates to historic lows, so Apple can raise the money cheaply. But, you may inquire, wouldn't it be cheaper still if Apple spent some of its golden horde? The problem is that much of that money is overseas and before Apple can spend it to shore up its stock price, it must repatriate it, which means paying taxes.
Thus the net effect of a loophole in the tax laws for big multinational corporations and the Federal Reserve Board's constant pressure to keep interest rates low is to give Apple a chance to have its cake and eat it, too: to pay off investors, yet to keep the money overseas and probably earning a good rate of return in a mix of high-yield bonds of foreign governments. Keep in mind that Apple, like many multinationals, may have earned some of that money in the U.S. and through legal accounting stratagems transferred the earnings to its foreign entities, thus shielding the earnings from U.S. taxes.
The pretext for keeping interest rates low is to stimulate investment in job-creating businesses. That's also the excuse that large corporations are giving for wanting to have a tax holiday from repatriated foreign earnings. They don't mention that last time there was a tax holiday on foreign earnings in 2005, most of the money went to buy back stock and pay off executives.
Large companies seem to prefer to line the pockets of their owners and executives over investing in jobs, which in all likelihood reflects their collective belief that there is no additional market demand that would require expansion.
The government could create that demand by closing the loophole that allows companies to shield earnings by realizing them in foreign ventures. The additional tax revenues could be used to support the victims of our economic travails since the real estate bubble burst in 2007-2008. It could be used to invest in research to commercialize alternative energy like wind and solar. It could build mass transit systems or rebuild roads, bridges and government buildings. It could decrease the size of classes in elementary schools. Any or all of these government actions would pump money into the economy and give large corporations a reason to invest as opposed to sitting on their money. Of course with a stronger economy would come higher interest rates, and then Apple couldn't borrow money to pump up its stock.
Let's face it: The goal and end result of virtually all government intervention into the economy is to help a handful of large multinational corporations and investment banks. It's called socialism for the large and wealthy and it works just fine in the United States—for about one percent of the population.

Genetically altered salmon in the pipeline
From the Heartland, Margot McMillen writes: Tomorrow, the comment period will close on whether industry can raise their genetically altered salmon and sell it to human consumers. This campaign has been going on for years. It started with a huge increase in salmon recipes in the ladies' magazines and the newspapers. That, to develop demand. Omega 3, you know. The genetically altered salmon grow twice as fast as normal salmon, which means they would take over the native ecosystems by out-eating and out-growing the natives if they got into the wild. If approved, this will be the first animal to be genetically altered and raised for human use. This at the time when we're trying to figure out what to do about the superweeds that industry created by releasing genetically altered corn, soybeans, canola, cotton and sugar beets. And if the salmon genes jump to other breeds, what then? One of my students has a habit of saying, when things are messed up, "It's all good." I think she means that things work out in the end. But, what kind of havoc are we releasing in nature? All good? Not.
Are we going to reduce ourselves to the level of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev by executing him?
By Marc Jampole
If anyone deserves the death penalty, it's Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving brother of the Chechen-American pair who planted the bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Three dead. Hundreds injured, some with limbs ripped out by shrapnel. A shoot-out which produced another death and injury. Possible plans to inflict more damage on the innocent.
This guy deserves to die.
But we don't deserve to kill him.
We're better than that. We're a civilized society. We have incarcerated and will try Mr. Tsarnaev because he acted violently and took the lives of others. But by taking his life, even after a proper trial, we are resorting to his level, playing his game, using his rules. When we take his life, he wins. His values ascend. If we kill the killer, we become the killer.
There are many arguments against the death penalty:
- Juries make too many mistakes, and you can't take back an execution.
- No studies show that the death penalty serves as a deterrent to crime.
- To ensure fair treatment, the cost of execution is now far higher than the cost to maintain the prisoner for life.
- There is an inherent bias against minorities and the poor in the implementation of death penalty sentences in the United States.
- No other industrialized nation retains the death penalty.
Our need to deny the ethos of the killer becomes poignantly clear in the case of the mass murderer or terrorist. Their crimes are heinous and it's impossible to imagine anything redeeming about their lives. They certainly do not deserve to live.
Yes, we want to kill Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, but let's instead lock him up until the day he dies and show that we know a better way.

Let's level the playing field by imposing sales tax on Internet merchants
By Marc Jampole
The Wall Street Journal is always quick to ignore the wrongs to the many to protect the rights of the few—in this case the few being Internet merchants located in New Hampshire, a state without sales tax, who would have to collect sales tax on items sold to people living in other states, while those undeserving New Hampshire brick-and-mortar wholesalers would not have to collect taxes for in-store purchases by tourists just traveling through. To ensure that this unfair situation doesn't come to pass, a Journal article wants us to urge our Senators to defeat the latest attempt to make Internet merchants collect sales tax.
The Journal forgets that in the current situation, Internet merchants have a tremendous advantage over brick-and-mortar stores because they don't have to collect local sales tax, either for the jurisdiction in which they have their official "office," or in the jurisdiction of the buyer. The new bill, as so many like it that have gone down to defeat in recent years, would level the playing field between Internet and brick-and-mortar businesses when it comes to taxation. It would end a subtle regressive element of the current situation—rich folk are more likely to buy on the Internet and so less likely to pay sales tax. And it would increase much needed state revenues in virtually every state.
The Wall Street Journal is not the only big player pushing to defeat a bill that would require Internet merchants to collect sales tax. Over the weekend, John Donohoe, the chief executive officer of eBay, sent email missives to millions of eBay users asking them to oppose the legislation.
As usual when defending the business prerogatives of the few, both eBay and the Journal hide behind the patriotic flag of small business. Both want a bill that exempts small businesses. In Donohoe's case, that means firms with fewer than 50 employees and less than $10 million in sales.
- Donohoe appeals directly to eBay sellers: "This legislation treats you and big multi-billion dollar online retailers—such as Amazon—exactly the same. Those fighting for this change refuse to acknowledge that the burden on businesses like yours is far greater than for a big national retailer."
- The Journal sees a conspiracy against small business: "So big business and big government are uniting to pursue their mutual interest in sticking it to the little guy. Any Internet seller with more than $1 million in annual sales would be forced to serve all of the nation's tax collectors."
Didn't these people ever hear of automated software or third-party payment services such as PayPal? Did the opponents to collecting sales tax in a consistent manner ever think that maybe the vendors who have automated Internet purchases will also quickly develop software that handles everything involved in collecting and transmitting sales tax to the various taxing bodies—that is, if the software doesn't already exist. The technology can't possibly be very hard to develop, considering that industry has already developed software that helps the little Internet merchant sell thousands of items with constantly changing prices and specifications, just like small brick-and-mortar merchants do.
I certainly believe that the little guy should be protected from the predatory practices of large corporations. But that's not what this proposed new law is about. It's about raising revenues in a fair and equitable manner.
Koch brothers buying Tribune Company would be newspaper business as usual.
By Marc Jampole
Progressives, liberals and maybe even a lot of centrists are shivering at the news that Charles and David Koch may buy part of the Tribune Company, including the largest newspapers in the second and third largest cities in America.
The Kochs, of course, are the right-wing financiers of the Tea Party and of a number of "thinkless tanks" that work against environmental regulations, unions, action on global warming and fair taxation policies. These guys are as far right as can be and seem to have an open pocketbook for promoting wacky right-wing notions and dangerous lies.
The fear shared by those left of Attila the Hun is that the Kochs will infuse politics into the reporting and editorials of The Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Orlando Sentinel and Hartford Courant. Additionally, throughout modern history, with right-wing politics has usually come a dumbing down and sensationalizing of the rest of a newspaper.
We already see what right-wing politics has done to the media outlets part of the Murdoch empire. A study by the Union of Concerned Scientists found that both the Wall Street Journal and Fox TV News distort news and opinion on global warming.
Fox TV News recently all but ignored the gun debate in Congress, knowing that 90% of all Americans, including an overwhelming majority of their viewers, were in favor of the background checks that the ultra-right Fox dislike. Fox, of course, was among the first media outlets to practice "Matt Drudge journalism," which consists of quoting a known liar who is lying so that the lie can be presented in the context of news.
The potential sale of the Los Angeles Times represents a particularly tragic case, since it was once a right-wing rag that under Otis Chandler in the 1960s and 1970s grew into one of the most distinguished and well-respected newspapers across the country. But all these newspapers are centrist and under the Koch's regime they would all take a sharp turn right.
But let's face it. Nothing has really changed. Rich folk have always been the only ones who could afford to publish newspapers. The Chandlers, who owned the Los Angeles Times were loaded. So was Rupert Murdoch's father. So were and are the Sulzbergers, who own the New York Times and the Pulliams, who owned the Arizona Republic and Indiana Star (and also produced that apotheosis of mediocrity, former Vice President Dan Quayle). The Mellon scion who funded the silly investigations into President Clinton's business dealings in the 1990s owns the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and many other newspapers in western Pennsylvania.
While there are rich folk who look beyond their own greed, most will support the status quo that is treating them so well, even if that status quo is unfair to many or causes many to suffer. So much of the left-right divide centers around issues of economic equity—minimum wage, government support of education and health care, unionization, government pension plans and even safety regulations. It makes sense that many of those with money will not want to share it, even if they made their bucks in large part because of an extensive civil, economic and physical infrastructure. It's because only the people with lots of money can afford to own newspapers that since the birth of the printing press, most non-government controlled media has been centrist or listed right (in the context of each era).
One early hope of the Internet was that it would level the playing field. While it is true that the Internet enables people of all opinions to shout out, the sheer number of voices gives added clout to the Internet screeners such as Yahoo! and Google, which favor mainstream and right-wing media in their algorithms. Those algorithms are subject to manipulation, which takes money, which only the big media has. Thus, while the Internet theoretically levels the playing field, the net effect is to extend the dominance of big media owned by rich folk.
The replacement of large families by large corporations as media owners does not change the situation much, since single individuals or families can so easily control a corporation with as little as five percent of the voting stick.
Let's face it. The rich will always be able to own the news. But the rich are not one unified monolithic group, but rather comprise a mosaic of opinions. If we can't prevent media ownership from being dominated by the wealthy, we can at least spread ownership around, so we can achieve as large a diversity of ownership as possible. If we want a free market of ideas, we have to limit the number of media properties owned by any individual or corporation.
The trend over the past 30 years has been to loosen regulations on ownership of media properties, which leads to greater consolidation. We should instead be moving in the opposite direction. I would propose that no company, individual or trust be allowed to own more than one print or broadcast media property in any given state and no more than five in all, plus one website per print/broadcast property.
Today, loosening regulations is leading to a loss of freedom speech and freedom of the press. Greater regulation will stem that tide.

Too Much Boston Marathon
From the Heartland, Margot McMillen writes: This is the first Sunday morning in a decade when I haven't watched Meet the Press on TV. I just can't stand to see those images again—the explosions at the Boston Marathon, people screaming, running TO the emergency rather than FROM the emergency as every TV commentator, preacher and fireman has told us. And then the "manhunt" as the headlines say. We've been given a lot of language, haven't we? I'm sad that it happened, sad for the Bostonians, sad for the Chechnyans and Muslims that will be painted with the same broad brush. I'm proud of the first responders, the people who ran TO the emergency, big shout out to all of ya'all. But I don't want to re-live it, over and over, giving it the stature that we give news events when they are relentlessly exploited. I don't want to see it raised to the level of, as they say, "iconic." I don't want to see other kids take revenge, and then other kids take revenge against the other kids. You know what I mean—we've seen it a million times. The only winners are the media and the advertisers. Better for society to say: this was a bad thing. People were killed unexpectedly, this happens every day in other places but not here. At the bottom of it all was a fearful fellow that listened to the wrong voices. How can we prevent it from happening again? Bottom line: we can't. Especially if we succumb to the fear that's driving all this hype. Let it go.

I never really used iChan back in the day, but in recent years I have heard that this has become a popular destination for people to find adult content. It might not be as populated as the competition, but it's designed just as well and has a heap of focus upon pornography pleasures. There are around 15 different boards including sexy girls, camwhores, amaterus, teens, traps and if you're a little more freaky, furry, hentai and the rest. As a word of warning, there is lolicon here which isn't exactly great if you're browsing from Australia (it's not allowed there). So yeah, just stay safe if you are from down under: avoid the hentai boards.
The teens board is where I imagine most of you will go and there are just over 13,000 posts there. Most of the content is good, but a few posts are spammy and not exactly what I'd consider to be worthy of an anonymous image board. I saw some MILFs spammed in the teen area too – I mean, if you're going to shitpost, at least do it in the same niche! Anyway, if the other boards have let you down, check out iChan and see what you can uncover. It's not a bad destination when all is said and done.
Review Pros
- Lots of boards
- Some great amateur material
Review Cons
- Spammy posts
- Not as big as other sites

In To Kill a Mockingbird, how does Aunt Alexandra involve herself in Maycomb's social life?
- print Print
- list Cite
One of the main ways Aunt Alexandra gets involved in the Maycomb social life is by being a part of the Missionary Circle meetings. The one the reader sees in the book is hosted by Aunt Alexandra at the Finches' house. The ladies of the church get together for tea and snack in order to discuss the good they can do for the church. In addition to that, they are also sharp social critics and harsh gossips, commenting mostly on the state of the black population in Maycomb and the outcome of the Tom Robinson trial.
Aunt Alexandria has a missionary club and from there all the ladies gossip about new events that are happening. They are very critical and talk a lot about the black population there in Maycomb and are very invested in the final result of the trial. Moreover, one time Aunt Alexandria tries to take Cal out of the household but Cal has been there for the kids ever since they were young and is a part of the family, and therefore Atticus tells her she will stay no matter what. We see a difference between how Aunt Alexandria and how Atticus think.

More fallout from Cruz's government shutdown. His absence from the scene this time around is telling.
I ser you're back and repeating this misstatement again. Cruz didn't shut down the government. Obama shut it down. Cruz is not minority leader or speaker or president.
Of course Cruz shut the government down. He goaded the House Tea partiers into refusing to fund the government unless Obamacare was defunded.Cruz even admitted later that he knew he couldn't win and that Obama would not relent.If it was such a good idea, why didn't he try it again this time?

Thanks to the support of the CICRA Educational bursary, I was able to attend the international conference "Organoids – Modelling Development and Disease in 3D culture", organised by the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in Heidelberg, Germany. Given the title of this conference, you may now wonder: What are organoids?
Organoids are self-organising, complex structures of cells that essentially form part of a "mini-organ" in a dish. Scientists can keep these mini-organs in culture over long periods of time and use them as models to perform experiments. These culture models have many advantages: for example, they are a three-dimensional system and they can be derived from human cells.
Our research group is growing the so-called intestinal organoid model, or "mini-guts". This means we culture the inner lining of the gut (the gut epithelium) in a dish. We are able to generate these mini-guts from just a tiny piece of intestinal tissue (i.e. a biopsy) from children that had an endoscopy in our unit. In a current project, we characterised these mini-guts on a molecular level by looking at the molecular switches in a cell that can turn genes on or off. We call these switches "epigenetic mechanisms". Interestingly, we found out that the switches in mini-guts nicely reflect their state in the human body. This means we now can make mini-guts from children with IBD and use them to find out what is different in the gut lining in IBD.
I was selected to present our findings on a poster at this conference, and got great feedback from other researchers working on related questions. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to talk to top scientists in the field, including the ones who invented the mini-gut model. The talks at the conference made clear how "mini-organs" can provide exciting new opportunities for research into human diseases. Therefore, I am very grateful to CICRA for their support that allowed me to be a part of this by attending this conference.

During October we saw oil prices rise due to the news that OPEC was looking to cut oil production, which caused markets to swerve strongly upwards. At the beginning of September, the price of oil was $45 and by the end of that month, it had risen to $49. Jump forward to the middle of October and prices had hit the $52 mark. On its own, that would have been enough to push fuel prices up by about 3 pence per litre (ppl), but the current drop in the value of the £ GDP meant that this was only half the story.
The consumer fuel price is only partly affected by the price in $ per barrel. We have seen oil prices move up since the summer, but they have only gone up by 15%, whereas the £ / $ exchange rate has moved by approximately 25% during the same period. This currency shift has been at the expense of the £ GBP, which has pushed UK fuel prices up by a much greater factor than would ordinarily result from $ oil price movements alone. If we consider the $ price of diesel at the mid-point of October, we can see it was trading at around $480 per tonne (crude being traded in barrels and refined products being traded in tonnes!). At a pre-Brexit exchange rate of 1.50, this would have given a price of 102ppl (including duty and VAT). But use the actual 1.21 exchange rate that we are now experiencing post-Brexit, and we have a price of 110 pence per litre. That's 8ppl uplift on the price of diesel due to the exchange rate, which when added to the 3ppl oil price movement, gives a total increase to the consumer of 11ppl.
The 2014 fall in oil price has been experienced and enjoyed, but now the underlying oil price is creeping back up and worse, the £ GBP is declining. Couple that with the fact that Britain imports the majority of its food, white goods , building materials, clothes and vehicles, you have the perfect ingredients for the 2017 inflationary spike that is now so worrying the Bank of England.
Looking at the situation in the short-term, it is very difficult to see how the current trends will reverse, especially given the current delay in formal negotiations for the UK to leave the European Union and the outcome of forthcoming OPEC meeting in November. But you can be confident that your local, family owned Rix Petroleum depots will be offering the great service and competitive prices, we are famous for.

Damoh, renowned for Nauradehi Wildlife Sanctuary and Rani Durgawati Sanctuary, is a city in the Sagar division of northeast Madhya Pradesh, India. It is the administrative headquarters of Damoh district.
Geographically the city of Damoh lies between 23.50' North latitude and 79.26' East longitude and is perched at an elevation of 1271 feet above sea level. It occupies an area of 7,306 Sq.Km. In Damoh, there are 7 tehsils and 1,952 villages. The city is 260 Km east of state capital Bhopal and Tikamgarh lies to its north.
The city Damoh got its name from the name of Rani Damyanti, wife of Raja Nal of Narvar.
Damoh is largely inhabited by tribal groups like the Gonds, Lodhis, Karpetis and other communities like the Dalits, Rajputs, Kurmis, Thakurs and Marwaris. Dalits of this region do not posses much land therefore they earn their living as labour on the fields. Usually, Dalits are mainly involved in the tanning of leather and in manual scavenging. But with time opportunities are slowly opening up which will help them to achieve a level of occupational mobility.
The economy of Damoh mainly depends on agriculture. On the south and east of the city there are hills and patches of jungles. The city also consists of open planes of varying degrees of fertility, interspersed with low ranges and isolated heights. The high fertility tracts lie in the centre. A number of betel leaf gardens are located around Damoh, and these betel leaves are exported. The city also has a considerable Cattle market.
A number of small scale industries based on oilseed milling, handloom weaving and dyeing, the manufacture of bell-metal vessels and pottery are also found in Damoh. Besides this large cement plant, 'Diamond Cements' is also situated in the Narsingarh village of Damoh.
Today, the district is also known for its sanctuaries like Nauradehi Sanctuary in Tendukheda block and Rani Durgawati Sanctuary in Jabera block.
The nearest big towns to Damoh are Bhopal (260 Km) and Jabalpur (106 Km).

There are many things I find challenging at my work but one saving grace is the building's foyer which is used as an art gallery. The most recent exhibition was of art and craft created by friends and family of the company.
The work by Misako Sakai was my favourite:
In her words:
"Renkon, or Lotus Roots are delicious to eat and so attractive on a plate. When slices of root dry, they shrivel up into interesting shapes, which I used as inspiration for this jewellery".
I think it is amazing what people use as inspiration!

E-mail made news twice in February and both incidents should send shivers up your spine.
The most recent incident was Feb. 28 when 38,000 Gmail users could not find their e-mails. That was a fraction of total Gmail users, but that didn't matter if it was YOU and your e-mail disappeared.
Google engineers were still trying to figure out what went wrong three days after the bazaar disappearance. Most, if not all Gmail users had their e-mail restored within 24-hours.
The other heart-stopping story began earlier in February, when hackers, who call themselves "Anonymous" broke into the computers of HBGary Federal, a government contractor.
They stole thousands of employee and company e-mails and then posted them on a "searchable" Web site, much like Wikileaks has done with government documents.
The people behind Anonymous are apparent supporters of Wikileaks and the CEO of HBGary Federal, Arron Barr had tried to discredit Wikileaks and then threatened to publicly expose the people behind Anonymous.
So they struck first.
Here's the problem: Losing your e-mail is one thing, but what Anonymous did to HBGary Federal, they or others like them, can do to YOU and/or your organization. Just think about some of the e-mails you've written and saved and what they might look like to the wrong audience? Or, what about e-mails your staff or employees may have written about your organization or you?
Now, let's go back to the Gmail problem.
In the wake of the "lost" Gmails, there has been new interest in backing up more and more digital material on so-called "cloud based" systems. I work with some very intelligent computer specialists, who brag about the "cloud" and all of its possibilities. They, and others like them, believe their information is accessible at any time, from anywhere...and I fear they could be wrong.
Cindy Cohn, legal director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation says, "We think of cloud computing as a bunch of clouds. They're fluffy and white, but it's actually other people's computers and other people's computers can go down."
In fact, my great concern is that those "other people's computers" can be hacked and your important documents and e-mail can be stolen from there, too.
This month has motivated me to move my "saved" e-mails from my computer to an off-line hard drive storage device, along with all my other sensitive client documents.
Think about it!

Your E-Mail, Wikileaks and the Cloud

If the (non-zero) numerator and the denominator of a fraction are the same then the fraction is equal to 1. That is something Michael Gove might recognise as a fact. It will doubtless astound him and the Tory blowhards that I have been teaching that fact successfully to pupils for 33 years. He pretends to believe that lefty teachers don't teach facts.
On the other hand, if a pupil is reading a
newspaper article the "facts" in the story are carefully chosen to
accord with the underlying attitude of the writer.
Stories about the
abuse of white girls by Asian men are factual for the most part. Stories
about the abuse of youngsters by Jimmy Saville and Stuart Hall have
also been published.
The first set of articles have been
used to foster a myth that the religious attitudes of Asian men in
general and muslims in particular cause them to prey on white girls. It
is a myth which fails to take into account the millions of Asian men and
muslims who do no such thing.
The second set of articles
have not been used by the Daily Mail to suggest that the attitudes of
white men cause them to prey on children.
Studying that is
not a matter of "facts". It is a matter of process. It involves looking
at the facts which are included and thinking about the facts which are
excluded. It involves looking at how the story is constructed and how
that leads the reader to a conclusion.
And that kind of education has been eloquently described by the Secretary of State for education as "yadda yadda yadda."

It's a Winter Wonderland
The snow is starting to fall in portions of the United States, and my city is experiencing quite a bit of it! As I see the chance, I'll be taking plenty of winter-themed photographs over the next few weeks and posting the best ones on here!
Snow tends to remind me of the holiday season, and I'm starting to feel the "spirit of Christmas" coming on…

My father aged 75 years suffered breakage of femur (left Pelvic joint) while he fell at home and underwent replacement for the same. However, post-operative he has shown restlessness,extreme fatigue and extreme drowsiness.This was correlated to his low Na+ level which has been corrected through oral salt. Howver his CRP count has remained 53 even after one week tratment with GLEVO followed by one week of Faronem 200.He has been on treatment for TB for 14 months ( presently R-CINEX).The above listed symptoms have not subsided..Please suggest further therapy.

Answered by Dr. Chander Mohan Singh 2 hours later
Brief Answer: Need doctor's consultation again. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have read your query. You should again consult your doctor for restlessness and fatigue, your doctor may again advise you to check level of serum sodium and potassium, fasting blood glucose level etc. But if you are more concern about drowsiness, then you should consult your doctor again for dose of urimax and franxit both of which need to be adjusted again. Another thing which you must know is that skeletal T.B needs treatment for about 24 months before the symptoms gets completely wiped off, and your C.R.P levels comes down by then. At-last I would like to suggest you that you should have proper and timely follow ups with your doctor because drugs you have advised by doctor needs further alteration in doses. If you have found this discussion useful, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer 5 points for me, so that I get a good feedback. Thanks. Dr.Singh.

By Meg Robsahm, M.Ed, LMP, BCTMB
"Wow, this is rather startling," I think to myself as I enter Rochester City Hall to prove I am a nationally certified massage therapist so I can begin my practice. I am oddly nervous about presenting a stack of paperwork proving my 15 years of professional massage experience in healthcare.
In hand, I have my Washington state licensure from the department of health; my BCTMB certification that was once identified as the NCTMB credential; my teaching credentials with NCBTMB; and a plethora of continuing education certificates including specialties in oncology massage and end of life care. Additionally, I hold my AMTA certificate of insurance and my transcript from massage school, demonstrating completion of an 800-hour professional licensure program.
My nervousness turned to disappointment when the clerk wanted only my BCTMB credential and drivers license. While on one hand I appreciated the ease with which I could begin practicing, on the other I was bewildered. I thought, "But now I can only work in Rochester? How weird!?" In Washington, I would often travel 45 miles in one direction to see a client without the concern of breaking laws.
I value my BCTMB credential. And my licensure in Washington State by the Department of Health holds me to the privilege and responsibility of being a health care provider. As a massage practitioner, I am used to being perceived and respected as a health care provider. In fact, I expect to be.
That of course requires certain obligations and commitments from me, such as annual renewal and continuing education requirements. It also means I adhere to state standards for HIPAA. I have specific ethical and professional boundaries to uphold as well. In return however, I have been accepted into health care as a colleague. As a specialist in oncology massage, I was a part of my clients' integrative care team. Many clinicians, from physical therapists to physicians, refer patients to massage for rehabilitation or symptom management. Moreover, clients and caregivers report back to their clinicians about the value and significance of massage in their overall care.
When I teach, I often say, "Clients come to us inherently asking us to help them become more whole." We open practices of massage to help others return to their daily activities and regain a sense of who they are. We open practices to help others manage injury, illness, pain, and anxiety. Let's face it, massage therapy is a part of physical medicine which impacts all aspects of our lives. If we don't feel well, we don't work well, play well or enjoy life. Massage helps us recover and feel better.
Each state in our country has regulations to uphold public healthcare standards. The practice of massage should be included in these standards. From my vantage point, standards are guidelines for clinical protocols and business practices so we can provide the best standards and practices of care for our clients. These guidelines and professional boundaries also work to protect us as professional caregivers.
We become partners and sometimes advocates in our clients care, all the while working within our scope of practice to support their health. We refer to other clinicians when our clients need something beyond our care. We become team members with other clinicians instead of massage therapists who operate outside of the circle of care. In fact, I will say that massage is one place that actually provides an opportunity for continuity of care in the health system. Unlike other clinicians, we spend the most time with people.
Minnesota needs registered massage therapists for several reasons. My reasons include the following. Voluntary registration:
- helps raise public awareness that massage is a part of health care;
- reassures the public that their therapists are bound by professional standards and ethical conduct;
- gives practitioners a credential that designates a standard across the state;
- gives practitioners flexibility in building practices in several locations; and
- brings Minnesota into the same playing field as other states that already recognize massage as healthcare.
I am sure you have your own reasons. Perhaps now is the time to add your perspective on the topic by contributing to this blog. I fully believe massage therapists have the heart and the hands to help others regain a sense of self. We took an oath to: "To do no harm." Let's step up to the plate now and build a stronger foundation for the good of us all.
Meg Robsahm, M.Ed, LMP, BCTMB has been in practice since 2001 with a specialty in oncology massage and end of life care. She now resides in Rochester, MN. As an instructor, Meg is certified through NCBTMB. She is a member of the Oncology Massage Education Associates© teaching around the country: "Massage for People Living with Cancer" © and "Bodywork in End of Life Care: Journeys in Dying" ©. She has co-authored chapter 11, "Being is Enough" with Gayle MacDonald author of "Medicine Hands: Massage for People with Cancer" 3rd edition 2014. A 2007 graduate of The Peregrine Institute of Oncology Massage Training, the first past president of The Society for Oncology Massage, Meg is also an advisor to the 2016 Oncology Massage Healing Summit in Bloomington, MN.

What Is Conveyance Condition?
--- At the time of conveyance to HUD, a property must be undamaged by fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, or mortgagee neglect, as set forth in and required by 24 CFR §203.378. For condominiums that were secured by mortgages insured under §234 of the National Housing Act, the property must also be undamaged by boiler explosion, as required by 24 CFR § 234.270. In addition, the property must be secured, the lawn maintained, winterized (as applicable), and interior and exterior debris must be removed with the propertys interior maintained in broom-swept condition. This includes the removal of any vehicles and removal of any personal property in accordance with local and state requirements. Mortgagees are responsible for the damage to, or destruction of, properties due to their failure to take reasonable action to secure, inspect, preserve and protect such properties.
If a property is damaged due to mold resulting from the mortgagee's failure to protect and preserve, the mortgagee must remediate the cause of the mold and complete any other required P&P actions to minimize further mold and/or water damage prior to conveyance of the property. ---
Securing includes all doors, windows, other openings, fence gates when pool/spa is present, and the pool.
Maintaining the lawn means the lawn has to be cut within the last 2 weeks and shrubs trimmed once in a growing season.
Winterization should take place during the wint season which is October 1st through March 31st.
So essentially you are on the hook to provide bids for all damages, debris, and personal property. Just don't miss a roof, mold, or anything else that would be expensive for you to repair at your own cost. Don't think they won't make you reroof a house that you didn't tell them had a leak. It's happened to me before. If you have employees make sure they know how important it is to take pictures of the roof everytime they are at the property and of all the ceilings when they are inside the property. So if any of your clients ask if a property is in conveyance, try to always find something so you can say no. Don't be the one on the hook for it.

This was fascinating. My mom worked in real estate for years and I always found it intriguing how property was handled and paid for among people. I learned a lot from this!ReplyDelete

- Mr. George Boakye is one of four MPs currently accused of perpetrating visa fraud
- Mr. Boakye says he was unaware of his daughter's plans to abscond and overstay her visa
- Out of the four parliamentarians, Mr. Boakye is the only one who's not a current Member of Parliament
Mr. George Boakye, former Member of Parliament (MP) for Asunafo South Constituency, has said that the reason for his implication in the recent visa fraud scandal wasn't his fault.

According to the former Asunafo South Legislator, his 37 year old daughter allegedly tricked him into taking her with him to London on the pretext of going to see her uncle only to later abscond once they reached their London destination.
Mr. Boakye confessed that although he was well aware that not reporting her disappearance to the proper authorities was irresponsible of him, he said he did not do so because he was afraid his daughter would face incarceration.
Out of four MPs accused by the UK High Commissioner to Ghana. Mr. Boakye is the only one who is not a sitting Member of Parliament.

Speaking to Citi News in an interview on Thursday, April 27th, Mr. Boakye related that he "lost contact" with his daughter after she aleggedly left the residence where she had gone to visit her uncle.
"She managed to trick me into believing that she wanted to go and visit her uncle. Not knowing, she had a prior arrangement with her boyfriend with the promise that the boyfriend would be able to regularize her stay for her. At the time that I was coming and she hadn't come, I left a message and a return ticket with the hope that it should be given to my daughter anytime she returns, and I left.
To be very honest, I lost contact with her because she knew me to be a very strict person and for that matter if I got the information that she was there with a man, she wouldn't find it lightly."

According to Mr. Boakye, he himself had gone to London in order to visit an unnamed friend of his. He only decided to take his daughter along on the trip because she said she had wanted to "look at London".
"I was going to [London] to visit a friend and she said she wanted she wanted to go with me, to have a look at London. She was 37 at the time we got the visa, but now she is 41."
Mr. Boakye said that his mistake was that he did not take the telephone number and address of the uncle his daughter had gone to visit, adding that that was how she managed to "get her way out". He related that later on as he realized that the daughter wasn't showing up, he tried to search for her but was unsuccessful. Before he returned to Ghana, he says he asked his host to look for her also, something his host was also unable to do.
"So about a week later when I realized wasn't coming, I became apprehensive and told my host to look around and find out if she [the host] would be able to trace her. We tried our best but we couldn't trace her."

I finally updated one of my tablature files, Arran Boat Song, with a sound file (LISTEN). The sound file is arranged with the melody on one stereo channel (right or left depending on your stereo connections) and the harmony on the other stereo channel. If you unplug or adjust your balance to one speaker, you hopefully will be able to hear just the melody or just the harmony.
I also found an error, fixed it, and uploaded a new copy of The Star Spangled Banner with a sound file (LISTEN).

Dear Ushnishda,ReplyDelete
Butterbeer is a tasty caramel flavoured fizzy drink with buttery foam on the top.
The real-time version of what Harry Potter would have had at Hogsmeade.
Out of all the over-priced theme park products this was worth it on a sweltering August day! :-)
I love how moody and dark those photos are. We don't get storms much around where I live and oddly I wish we did!ReplyDelete

Well, I wasn't anywhere near a store on Black Friday. Those days are long past for me. There is nothing out there I want that much that I'll get up at 4:00 a.m. for. Ok, I did want the laptop for $299 at Best Buy but couldn't justify it so I didn't have to roll out of bed in the wee hours of the mroning. (G)
I also heard from my son away at Boot Camp last night. He said it's harder than he thought (duh) and he's sore from all the push-ups and sit-ups they're doing to get them in shape. And no, they didn't get a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving either! He'll be home for the holidays within a month and as much as I was glad to get the house all to myself again, it'll be nice to have him here for the holidays. He did say they were issued their M16 rifles yesterday. Last thing a mother wants to hear!!!!!
Ok, on to writing. I'm proud to say I just got my partial ready to go out the door to Harlequin this coming Monday. It's a book I love and I hope they love it just as much. Next up, I have a short story to finish for Wild Rose Press, then it's on to my single title that's been hollering at me to get done. This will be my first women's fiction single title, and it's a new one for me.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and that your turkey day was the best!!!! Take care, till next time. Patti

Over 10,000 Roses for the Legend of Camelot
The Bayer Advanced Camelot float features a large castle that represents Camelot and two Knights of the Round Table jousting on a bed of thousands of roses, orchids, daisies and carnations. The float also features 24 giant sculpted roses.
The Bayer Advanced Camelot float, with more than 10,300 roses, including the world debut of the Dick Clark rose variety, appeared in the 122nd Rose Parade on Jan. 1 in Pasadena, Calif.
Bayer Advanced rose care products are the exclusive rose care products of the Tournament of Roses. They help you create a beautiful rose garden in your own backyard.[ Also Read: Look, How Big is Big for a Plant ]
"There is nothing more beautiful than a rose," said Bayer Advanced rose care expert Lance Walheim, who wrote the book, Roses for Dummies.
"The rose has been around for 35 million years and it's the official flower of the United States. We give roses for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and other special occasions and we grow them in our own backyards. While beginning gardeners are often intimidated by roses, they're actually much easier to grow than you might imagine."[ Also Read: Most and Least Favorite Celeb Baby Names of 2010 ]
More than 10,300 live roses are featured on the Bayer Advanced Camelot float, including the 2011 All-America Rose Selection named after Dick Clark.
There are 80 Dick Clark roses on stems in the sculpted urns that are positioned around the perimeter of the Bayer Advanced Camelot float.
Clark is the 81-year-old co-host of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest on ABC. Clark has ushered in the New Year for 39 years. He hosted the American Bandstand musical variety show for 32 years.

Dick Clark Productions also produces the Golden Globe Awards on NBC, The Academy of Country Music Awards on CBS and So You Think You Can Dance on FOX.
Floral Features: The Bayer Advanced Camelot float is 55 feet long, 18 feet wide and 30 feet tall. In addition to roses, carnations and daisies, the float also features ti leaf, strawflower, statice, white beans, coffee and walnut shell, uva and buffalo grass, kidney beans, lettuce seed, white rice, flax, sesame, ground onion and poppy seed.
Eight golden urns placed around the float feature gladiolas, orchids, heliconia, mokaras and phalaenopis, as well as the Dick Clark roses.

Is it possible to create stacked bar chart in Objective C, as below ?
Hello Vimi,
Yes this is possible. I'd recommend you take a look at the Column Series sample that is available with our free trial.
To make the series stacked go to the SChart method that configures the series and you will have to set the stackIndex property to the same value for all of the series you want to stack.
-(SChartSeries *)sChart:(ShinobiChart *)chart seriesAtIndex:(NSInteger)index {
SChartColumnSeries *columnSeries = [[SChartColumnSeries alloc] init];
columnSeries.title = index == 0 ? @"2011" : @"2012";
columnSeries.stackIndex = 0 // add this line
return columnSeries;
There must also be a value for each element. For example if you wanted to achieve this in the Column Series sample you will have to provide Okra with a paired value (that is not present by default in the sample).
_sales[0] = @{@"Broccoli" : @5.65, @"Carrots" : @12.6, @"Mushrooms" : @8.4, @"Okra" : 0.7};
_sales[1] = @{@"Broccoli" : @4.35, @"Carrots" : @13.2, @"Mushrooms" : @4.6, @"Okra" : @0.6};
I hope this answers your question for you.
Matt Webber

Cass made your complete course of straightforward and pleasurable. He by no means pressured me once. Cass payed consideration to our wants for a car and what we have been on the lookout for.

A chance improper flip earlier within the year led to assembly a pleasant bodyshop owner with a few cool US import Sort 2 VWs. The early bay had just a few gear choice points which have been recognized and rectified before the camper went off to reside with its proud new keepers in Basingstoke.

An entire new system was fitted with extra 12 volt sockets, a seperate easily accessible fusebox and house for additions as and when required.
Sam Romans was very personable and an awesome salesman! We'll definately advocate Neighborhood Autos and in addition Sam!! Keep up the great work!
