did not know this was a uiiversal

many foreigners only makes things
look darkor for the future of our

Is it worth investing more time to gain a position for a higher traffic keyword, or is it more profitable to simply target more smaller ones? So how many searches do your keywords you choose to target usually have? I know this can depend on a lot of other factors but generally as the number of searches increases so does the competition.

Review of Haydn's The Creation, 25 May 2013
Haydn's evergreen Oratorio The Creation was given an wholly new presentation by the excellent Sussex Chorus under Maestro Neil Jenkins, Soloists and Southern Pro Musica Orchestra on a mild, May evening in Brighton's musical barn, St Bartholomew's church.
Haydn's time was one of considerable change, both socially and in awareness of what we are and where we belong in our universe. Dr Chris Arridge, an expert in space environments surrounding giant planets, delivered a deeply researched summary of how Galileo's early 17th century discovery of the heliocentric nature of our place in space had been crushed through the continuing belief in Creationism until astronomic research confirmed our relationship with the other planetary bodies. Despite being able to see this for himself through Sir William Herschel's own telescope, Haydn's setting still holds the biblical story of God's creation of the world, and all that's in it, over six days. Current scientific thinking holds the time to have been around 4.6 billion years, but time is relative.
So to the music. This work is very much held together by the three soloists through the established recitative and aria or chorus format. However, Haydn both writes habitually short sections and gives the chorus many short dialogues with the soloists so keeps the pace moving and our attention focused. The opening 'orchestral chaos' alluded to in the spoken introductions, very daring and evocative in its day, still holds us spell-bound and Michael George's opening, evangelical bass recitative describing the beginnings of things, with its choral response to the creation of 'light' were magical. Paul Smy's strongly delivered tenor dialogue with the choir followed, describing how chaos was dramatically dispelled for order as the First Day appeared at God's command. Laura Wolk-Lewanowicz's very full and almost coloratura soprano dialogue expressed amazement at the 'marvellous work' and the chorus duly responded 'with praise of God'. And so the pattern was set. Laura's vocal gymnastics in the aria 'With verdure clad' and, with the other soloists sharing the glory, in 'the Lord is great' were dramatic.
In a way, the supporting nature of the choral writing belies its difficulty. To sing an extended section, with melodic points developed and repeated, allows the chorus to build up a momentum, but this work has very few such moments so the chorus has to enter already up and running and to make their musical point immediately. This they achieved and credit goes to both their own skills and to the training and discipline they had received through the offices of Neil Jenkins. Both entries and exits were, with very few exceptions, right up to the mark and the attention to detail – the barn requires exacting diction and togetherness – was highly commendable. Neil Jenkins' tweaked text – revised after considerable research – was interesting, although the very style of libretti – here, most likely mainly by Charles Jennens, a collaborator with Handel – will always be distinct and gives the music part of its character and charm.
The orchestra were very good, with lovely flute and other woodwind passages and terrible –intendedly so – evocation of heavy beasts in Michael George's descriptive aria about the creatures on the earth in the brass. The strings, always the main work-horses in this genre, were accurate and sensitive – although the realisation of light and shade which the score suggests – and was achieved in the opening section - were not always evident. And ably supporting all the recitatives, notably in the very musically sensitive accompaniment to Adam's and Eve's homily towards the finish, was the very accomplished Nicholas Milner-Gulland on the harpsichord.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable performance from a fine choir and associates. The importance of such events is huge in a world where the immediately accessible and disposable are too easily valued over the durable. We risk losing established culture at our peril and long may choirs of this excellent standard continue to develop and flourish.

I have a requirement to use the MOSS 2007 Calendar Control - month view is to apply a custom css to have a look and feel as per our requirements.
We tried applying the custom css to the MOSS 2007 calendar control - month view, it does take the custom css and applies it, but when i click on any date and come back to the calendar control, it changes the CSS of the MOSS calendar control back to the default
Let me know if anyone has any suggestion on how to customize the calendar control for css for our intranet application.
Your response would be highly appreciated.
Hi all,
I have four Lists with identical columns :
List 1
List 2
List 3
List 4
I had to merge them, hence i created a data source ( Linked Source ) and merged these lists in SPD. I have used a data view webpart to display some columns from the merged lists data source and everything was working fine.
But now i have a new List : List 5 which also has the same columns like the other four lists and i need to update the data soure such that it is merged list of 5 lists not 4.
i updated the datasource property of the linked source to merge this new list as well. However the contents of List 5 dont appear in the data view webpart.
Am i missing something here ?
I dont want recreate the data view web part from scratch eachtime , because in future there might be List 6 , List 7 as well ...
I have created a custom control from scratch and it works fine as in you can build the project that uses it and it works fine at runtime. Problem is when you go to design view the control shows an error in the place of where the control should be rendered.
Error: '<SomeValue>' Could not be set to '<SomeProperty>'
This shows up on all my custom set properties. These properties are created as basic as possible. I can give the properties values in Source view and run the app just fine. I can even add a Onclick event. If I don't set any custom properties the control will render fine in Design view. It's only when I set a value to a custom property.
Property Code Example:
public string Text
string ret = "";
object obj = ViewState["Text"];
if (obj != null)
ret = obj.ToString();
return ret;
ViewState["Text"] = value;
I've even removed the Category and Description tags with no difference.
I don't know if what I said makes sens, but I hope it
Hi Gurus ,
It happened to add an extra Gridveiw Header in row_databound event , It did worked fine on !Postback but disappered on Page.Postback . Quick google search guided me to move the event to Row_Created event and every thing is okay .
Can any expert post some pointers , differnces between grid row_created vs row_databount with some sample table data created dynamically behaviour of both the events in !Postback and page.Postback .
Thanks a tonne in Advance and any inputs will be valued and appreciated .
Hello all,
Has anyone found a solution that will allow me to have page numbers for paging in a data view web part. For instance, if I have 40 items/rows and I set the paging to display 10 items, I'd like the paging to show 1 2 3 4 rather than showing 1-10 and having
to click next over and over to get to a specific item.
I found this article, but it is for 2003 and doesn't seem to apply to 2007 or if it does I am not able to really figure out how.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

text: There is no doubt food technology innovations such as bio-innovation, gene editing, robotics and AI, will dramatically reshape how we produce, manage and demand food. However, their effects are likely to be unevenly distributed. Countries and farmers who can afford to ride the food tech wave will prosper whilst others will fall further behind. The impact of the tech revolution could, unintentionally, lead to an even greater divide between the 'haves and have-nots' and exacerbate inequality in availability, access and affordability of food. Although likely, this scenario does not have to play out. We have a choice. Government, businesses and society can, collectively, create a world where technology is instead used to narrow the gap. One of the critical enablers for this new future will be increased market connectivity. In order for innovation to scale, markets will have to foster collaboration and actively create and support open source platforms. This will not be an easy task, especially in today's world where geopolitical dynamics are demonstrating nationalist and isolationist tendencies, as evidenced by recent events and elections in the United States and Europe, which may impact trade agreements and international collaboration. To tackle inequality and to allow technology to bridge the divide, now more than ever, governments and international bodies will need to find ways to collaborate and keep data and innovations open and accessible to all. Technology can then become the true driver of sustainability. It can ensure human sustainability by creating smart ways to increase production yield and nutritional values. Secondly, it can enable sustainable production (precision farming) and preserve our critical natural resources such as water. And lastly, technology can be a game changer for the sustainability of the sector by attracting talent. One of the biggest challenges in western society is the lack of people, particularly the younger generations, who choose a career in farming. This is a serious threat to this sector with many aging farmers facing situations with no one to hand their business over to. Smart farming however could change that perception, alter the lens on sector attractiveness, and make farming sexy again. Technology, fostered in the right way, can become the blessing this world needs to overcome the challenge of feeding the growing population and addressing important issues, such as inequality in access to nutritious food. But how and to what extent technology is harnessed, rests with us. Here are our suggestions: Governments Embrace market connectivity and international trade with provisions for responsible practices Foster innovation through governance incentives, facilitate collaboration platforms and food tech hubs Facilitate access to capital to enable smaller farmers to invest in technology Stimulate transparency in food sourcing and efforts to address inequalities along the chain. Businesses (farming, food processing and tech companies) Actively seek opportunities to collaborate in the sector, including universities, allowing innovation to prosper and scale Increase adoption of the use of big data and satellite for smart farming and embrace technology that enables food to be produced in radically new ways Prioritise tech innovation to help bridge the 'last mile' problem for small farmers who account for approximately 80% of food production in the developing world Collectively change the lens on sector attractiveness through education programs at universities and joint innovation initiatives Leverage, where appropriate, block-chain to increase access to finance to fund technology investments The future of our food systems holds risks, but also creates opportunities for markets and consumers to prosper when we allow technology to help create the world we need. Our choices – through action or inaction – will determine our path. Note: The Deloitte and WEF study, Shaping the Future of Global Food Systems: A Scenarios Analysis, explored various likely scenarios based on consumption and market connectedness. It looks into 'what', 'how' and 'where' food will be produced and consumed including the possible implications on economic development, sector configuration, network risks, inequality, hunger, poverty and climate change. This is the third in a series of blogs on the Future of Food, the first was: Overweight and obese – the choice is ours as consumers, or is it? and the second: The Future of Food – We are running out

Another approach to Time Intelligence
Best Parctices for Time Scale solution
This is an original method that I use when I build SSAS Cubes and it is time to share it with you
Time Intelligence is a common issue for every OLAP structure because Time as dimension apperars in every OLAP project, in every Cube you build, despite business model or type. To handle Time Intelligence good in calculations, aggregations and optimization, you need to use Timescale as well. With Timescale I mean: MonthToDate (MTD), YearToDate (YTD), LastYear(LY) etc…, all these very important to everyday use of Business Intelligence solutions.
Now I will take to technical steps to implement this genius way of handling with Timescale and Time calculations.
First you create a Table for Timescale in the source (in you DB, DWH or Data Mart), with 3-4 columns and 3-4 records for example. Here is a sample for that:
Based on this table you create a Dimension Timescale where Columns are Attributes and Records are Members of that Dimension.
After that, I go to DSV of our Cube, on every Fact Table that needs Timescale (usually all need Timescale) I add Named Calculation FK_Timescale with value 'PE', as in the image above:
I create a relationship FK_Timescale of the Fact Table to Timescale table in Data Source View (DSV) and after I build the Cube I do the same in Dimension Usage, where I create Regular relation between Fact Table and Timescale Dimension as shown above:
I create 2 name sets for MTD and YTD right after Calculate; and the MDX for that is shown above :
— Period to date
— Month to Date
[Timescale].[Timescale].[MTD] = Sum(MTD([Time Dim].[Hierarchy].CurrentMember),[Timescale].[Timescale].[PE]);
— Year to Date
[Timescale].[Timescale].[YTD] = Sum(YTD([Time Dim].[Hierarchy].CurrentMember),[Timescale].[Timescale].[PE]);
Now, you have ready implemmented Timescale in the Cube for all your Measures, so you do not need to calculate Timescales for each Measure. Instead of having MTD(YTD) Revenue, you just use Revenue measure and change Timescale from PE to MTD(YTD). Test this with Excel, through Data Connection to OLAP Cube and enjoy possibilities. This way is proven more dynamic, flexible and optimized for query performance.
I would be very pleased and that will help me keeping posting good things about BI, if you find time from your busy schedule to suggest, critic or to share with love this blog or this particular content.

text: GREENVILLE, Mich. (AP) -- An early morning gathering involving alcohol and a 17-year-old female student led to two men losing their coaching positions at Greenville High School, according to their personnel records. The Daily News reported Friday that it had obtained the employment records of Rick Lewis and Mike Packard from Greenville Public Schools through a Freedom of Information Act request. The newspaper submitted the request after the coaches were placed on administrative leave on Dec. 19. Three days later, Lewis, 35, stepped down as varsity boys basketball coach, assistant football coach and social studies teacher. Packard, 23, was dismissed as freshman boys and girls basketball coach and junior varsity softball coach. His personnel file contained a letter dated Thursday from Superintendent Terance Lunger clarifying "the circumstances that resulted in your resignation." Lunger wrote that his investigation verified that Lewis allowed the student, who attends school in the district, to enter his home without an accompanying parent or guardian sometime between 2:15 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. on Dec. 18. "At that time you and another staff member had been drinking as you have reported, to the point of intoxication," the superintendent wrote. "We further understand the other staff member engaged in inappropriate behavior with the student and you did nothing to intervene or to remove the student from your home." The letter also told Lewis that the matter has been turned over to the Greenville Department of Public Safety. Packard's file contains a letter dated Dec. 22 from Lunger informing him that his employment was being "immediately terminated for unprofessional behavior/conduct involving a Greenville Public Schools' 17-year-old student." A telephone message seeking more information from Lunger was left Friday at his office. "I have an ongoing investigation in regards to a party," said Department of Public Safety Sgt. Randy Elzinga. He declined to elaborate whether the investigation involved Lewis or Packard.

A year has made a big difference for Broadneck's Shawn Miller.
Miller, who is top-ranked by the Maryland State Wrestling Association at 112 pounds, pinned his three opponents in a combined 3 minutes, 45 seconds in Broadneck's holiday wrestling tournament during the weekend.
He has pinned 10 of his 12 opponents this season, including six in the first period.
"I wasn't a pinner last year," said Miller, who is 12-0 and finished third in the state at 112 last year. "I was wrestling 112, but I only weighed 106 last year. I've bulked up, and I'm stronger this year."

Smoke gets in your wine
By winecase | Published: March 19, 2008
An article published on the Australia Broadcasting Corporation's web site (rural section), reports that heavy smoke will affect the taste of grapes hanging on the vine and, in turn, the taste of wine produced from the grapes in question. I imagine the question is highly important for winemakers in a country subject to brush fires [...]

CIP4 And GATF Announce Product Certification Program
Friday, January 23, 2004
Press release from the issuing companyWashington, DC (January 21, 2004) – The International Cooperation for the Integration of Processes in Prepress, Press, and Postpress (CIP4) Organization and the Graphic Arts Technical Foundation (GATF) signed an agreement to develop JDF-enabled application testing, product testing, and certification programs. Under the terms of this five-year agreement, GATF will work in cooperation with CIP4's Interoperability and other working groups to develop certification testing methods for different classes of printing and prepress software, systems, and equipment. "To specify exactly what individual classes of devices need to do with JDF, CIP4 members are developing 'Interoperability Conformance Specifications' [ICS] that will provide the standard for individual classes of devices," said CIP4 executive director, James E. Harvey. "In practice, no single device is likely to utilize all that the JDF specification provides for. For instance, if you are in the digital printing business, you may not care to facilitate data on hard case binding. A RIP need not facilitate JDF preflighting. A Stitcher probably doesn't need to handle image rendering data. These specifications will provide users with a resource designed to facilitate the implementation of the JDF specification." Once published, ICS documents will be used as the basis for certification testing by GATF. CIP4 has signed GATF to an exclusive North American contract to be the first certification testing facility. Others facilities may be later be added in Europe and Asia, and GATF will assume the role of the lead facility. Once the JDF Certification program is in operation, users will start seeing products that are marked with the "JDF Certified" logo. This certification will be to a specific ICS document and class of device. The ICS documents are all currently in draft form and only in circulation among members of CIP4, but once published, like the JDF standard itself, they will be freely available to the public. "Several manufactures have already contributed JDF-enabled products to GATF and we've been impressed by what we've learned so far," said GATF executive vice president and COO George Ryan. "GATF is committed to providing the technical and educational resources that printers and the graphic arts industry at large demands and this is an exciting opportunity for GATF to play a key role in the evolution from 20th century printing to 21st century printing."

The joy of PSGI middleware
I must admit that I rarely feel comfortable with (web application) frameworks - each system facilitates a certain type of task but it complicates the missing parts. Good frameworks support extension via plugins, but each framework has its own plugin architecture to learn. That's why I like PSGI so much - it only specifies how to connect things. This is how PSGI looks like to me (image CC-BY-SA by CMG Lee):

Off-Season Market Report: Bierkraft
Bierkraft, will you be my Valentine? On Bierkraft's website you'll see in bold: Beer, Cheese, Chocolate, Charcuterie and More. I'm in love.
The only thing missing for me is wine, but their over 900 varieties of beer, mostly from the Barley Belt of Europe (England, Germany, Belgium, France, Poland and Czech Republic) and the U.S., quickly help me forget. Richard opened Bierkraft in 2001, after a former life on Wall Street, and since then he's added cheese, charcuterie and chocolate. I asked Richard for a favorite recipe that the kitchen readers could make at home and he passed me to Ben, who was most recently a pastry chef at Town.
Now Ben's an all-around Bierkraft expert who's responsible for the duck confit – cured in salt, sugar and herbs for 4 to 5 days (My journalistic integrities did not prevent me from trying a bit that had just come out of the oven. Bierkraft, may I have this dance?) – the Berkshire ham they cure in-house – and the coffee and chocolate that sometimes find their way into the filters of the tap beer, which you can buy by the growler. A growler is a 64 ounce jug that you buy and return to Bierkraft and have refilled to your liver's content. It's around $10.
Ben's go-to are the white anchovies, or Boquerones, imported from Spain. Milder than black anchovies, he might stack a few on bread with a drizzle of olive oil or take them home and make his version of Charmoula (see following recipe). Either way, they go great with the beer, which is the main reason we all go to Bierkraft, but by no means should it be the only.
Bierkraft, located at 191 5th Avenue in Brooklyn, is open 7 days a week, Monday – Friday, 11am – 9pm, Saturday, 10am – 9pm and Sunday, 10am – 8pm.

Flashback: Elizabeth Warren Advocated For the Nuclear Option in 2013 (VIDEO)
Democrat Senator, Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren supports the filibuster on Gorsuch nomination claiming he's 'way outside the mainstream'.
This is interesting because back in 2013 she wanted to kill the filibuster and advocated for the 'nuclear option'.
Elizabeth Warren had no problem with the nuclear option back in 2013 when Republicans were filibustering radical leftist judges up for nomination:
Elizabeth Warren: "The President has nominated 3 impressive people to fill those vacancies…these nominees are not ideological. They have extraordinary legal resumes and have received bipartisan support from top litigators from around the country.
I understand that the Republicans prefer to keep the D.C. circuit exactly as it is, but Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution says that the President of the United States nominates judges with the advice and consent of the Senate. There is no clause that says except when that President is a Democrat.
There are 3 vacancies in the D.C. Circuit Court of appeals. The President of the United States has nominated judges to fill those vacancies, that's his job and it's the job of the Senate to confirm highly qualified independent judges. That's how our system works. That's what the Constitution demands. Republicans these days don't seem to like that. They keep looking for ways to keep the President from doing his job.
So far, they have shut down the government, they have filibustered people he has nominated to fill out his administration and they are now filibustering judges to block him from filling any of the vacancies with highly qualified people.
We need to call out these filibusters for what they are. Naked attempts to nullify the results of the last Presidential election, to force us to govern as if President Obama hadn't won the 2012 election….
If Republicans continue to filibuster these highly qualified nominees for no reason, other than to nullify the President's Constitutional authority, then Senators not only have the right to change the filibuster rules, Senators have a duty to change the filibuster rules.
We cannot turn our backs on the Constitution."
Funny when the shoe is on the other foot, Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren sends out completely different smoke signals regarding how our Constitution and filibustering works. I am enjoying watching the Democrats meltdown as they realize they are no longer in power.
Judge Gorsuch will be confirmed and the liberals will throw their temper tantrums until the next thing comes along.

Next Episode of South Park is
South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that satirizes a wide range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town. Much like The Simpsons, South Park utilizes a very large ensemble cast of recurring characters.
Parker and Stone developed the show from two animated shorts they created in 1992 and 1995. The latter became one of the first Internet viral videos, which ultimately led to its production as a series. South Park debuted in August 1997 with great success, consistently earning the highest ratings of any basic cable program. Subsequent ratings have varied but it remains one of Comedy Central's highest rated shows, and is slated to air through at least 2016. The pilot episode was produced using cutout animation. All subsequent episodes are created with software that emulates the cutout technique. Parker and Stone perform most of the voice acting. (source: en.wikipedia.org)
In the 13th-season premiere, Kenny gets less than he bargained for when he takes his new girlfriend to a Jonas Brothers concert.
Rival vigilantes battle for supremacy as crime-fighting icons of the town.
Randy's solution to fix the economy finds enthusiastic support in the community and revolutionizes the way people live their lives.
An April Fools' joke goes bad, inspiring fear and fury among the boys.
Cartman helps Jimmy with a comedy routine that becomes the sensation of the year until it's time to take credit for the joke.
Randy pulls out all the stops to make sure that Stan wins first place in the annual Pinewood Derby
Buoyed by news of pirates in Somalia, Cartman hatches a plan to run away to live the life of a buccaneer.
Kyle seeks help from paranormal experts when his little brother is haunted by ghosts.
Butters hopes his first kiss will put an end to his friends' ridicule.
The boys aspire to be professional wrestlers after seeing their first match live
Stan vows to save the dolphins after a family visit to an aquarium in Denver on his birthday is marred by a mass slaughter of aquatic mammals.
The boys take action when a motorcycle festival takes over the town.
Cartman is selected to read the morning announcements at school, but he turns the forum into a bully pulpit to unleash criticism of the student-body president.
In the 13th-season finale, the boys' trip to a local water park comes with apocalyptic overtones.
Trey Parker(Eric Theodore Cartman)

April Stewart(Sharon Marsh)

InnerWest sums up Tony Blair's successes and failures thus:
Tony's Tenure's Top Three....
Well, 3-2 seems to be a victory for Blair.
1. An Independent Central Bank. People really have never had it so good.
2. Northern Ireland. The IRA - remember them?
3. Devolution. Not everybody agrees about how much power should be given
away from the centre, but the important thing is that some was and it's gaining
it's own momentum....
and the Bottom Two:
1. Foreign Policy. An ethical intent gave way to the allure of the ends
justifying the means - only for the ends to become an almost unmitigated
2. Public Services. Lavishing money and ducking tough questions does not
equate to reform, just a stay of execution.
Then again, Inner West seem to have discounted a number of (own) goals:
1) Spin - need we say more?
2) Cash for Honours - because Cash for Questions was so last government
3) Human Rights - they started so well, and then it all fell to pieces
4) That economic record, which ignores the fact that unemployment, inflation and taxes all rising
5) "Education, Education, Education" - three times as much priority, and still a quarter of school leavers are illiterate, a quarter innumerate, and a third have no qualifications worth a damn...
One really could go on!
So go on. Why not add your own personal lowlights of the Blair administration. After all, it was ten years ago tomorrow!

Sams: Clickbait News Is Still News
Monday, June 12, 2017 | 1518 | 0 | min read
Joe Paduda asserted a familiar theme in his ManagedCareMatters blog last week; that is, the "real fraud" in workers' comp involves employers who don't provide coverage to their employees, and organized medical and legal crime rings that rake in millions.
He advised "real journalists" to avoid "click bait" coverage of fraud that is perpetrated by individuals. Although Paduda didn't say so, I'm pretty sure he was talking about claimant fraud, which is the subject of countless "I-Team" exposes by unimaginative television reporters.
But those same type of stories are also a staple of WorkCompCentral's news coverage.
Just last week I wrote up a short piece about a California appellate court decision upholding the perjury conviction of a 38-year-old San Diego woman who said her arms and shoulders were so badly damaged from stocking shelves at Trader Joe's that she had to ask friends to carry her paddle board across the beach so she could take it out onto the water. Talk about a crimp in your SoCal lifestyle.
The woman was videotaped, of course, pulling the 30-pound paddleboard off the roof of her 4Runner and lugging it across the beach without any help by friends. That story baited 1,019 clicks last week.
Another example is the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, woman who — when a fire-suppression sprinkler head dislodged from the ceiling and fell onto her desk — picked the sprinkler up and whacked herself on the forehead with it. Maybe that was a good plan to get a few weeks off at two-thirds pay. Head injuries can be tricky, after all. But the woman was foiled by her employer's security cameras.
Readers love dumb crook stories. She got 18 months' probation. The story got 928 clicks on our website and made the rounds in media outlets literally around the world. In fact, a Google news search shows that three Australian television stations posted reports about the sprinkler caper on the same day that Florida media picked up the story.
To follow Paduda's advice on story choice would be to deny our readers a few moments of schadenfreude as they peruse our report. I have no shame in providing that moment to hard-working adjusters who likely come across plenty of abusive claims that don't rise to a level that merits a criminal investigation and take pleasure in learning that at least some of the scoundrels get busted.
But I also see a larger purpose in telling these kind of stories.
Somebody with the sprinkler woman's employer or insurance carrier had the presence of mind to check the videotape from the camera above her work station. The claim was successfully denied and the woman was rightfully convicted as a result.
In the case of the paddleboarder, the carrier's special investigations unit knew exactly what it had on tape, and the defense attorney knew exactly what to ask during the deposition that led to two perjury convictions. (The appellate court had ruled that the woman lied separately about being able to carry the paddleboard and her ability to pull it off the roof, rejecting her argument that she had lied only once, not twice.)
You can't attend a claims conference without hearing a panelist harping on the importance of a good accident investigation. But it is one thing to hear sage advice and another to take it to heart.
News stories that provide real-life examples of how to successfully defend against a fraudulent claim cement a lesson that should be taught to every front-line supervisor: If somebody gets hurt at work, find out everything you can about how the accident happened, mostly to prevent future mishaps, but also to make sure the claimant didn't make it up.
To give due credit to Paduda's point, there is shame for any news organization that does all of its reporting from press releases. Back when I was in the newspaper business (does anybody remember newspapers?), the daily police blotter was a subject of constant ethical hand-wringing. The chronicle of folks caught exposing themselves in public, throwing rocks through windows or poisoning the neighbor's cat draw a lot of readers, but those reports are also totally one-sided in that they are based solely on a police officer's version of events.
Often, the people named are never convicted. As an editor, I sometimes get a call from a formerly accused perpetrator who has been exonerated and wants that part of the story told, too. I am always happy to oblige with a follow-up, but I suspect most of the alleged wrongdoers who escape conviction don't bother calling. One time in the public square was bad enough.
In his column, Paduda gave kudos to WorkCompCentral's Greg Jones for writing an in-depth piece about a California lawmaker's efforts to stem the kind of capping schemes that led to the arrest of 10 attorneys and six others who allegedly swindled $300 million from workers' comp insurers. (That one got 2,247 hits, and the initial story by Sherri Okamoto about the arrests 4,131, probably an all-time record for WorkCompCentral.)
Paduda is correct in that journalism that explores policy and examines the roots of widespread malfeasance is more important than writing up the routine fraud bust. Most journalists I know got into the profession because they believed their reporting can make a difference. Stupid crook stories are fun, but not the calling.
Nonetheless, readers obviously want to know about the disabled claimants who run marathons, give kickboxing lessons or work weekends impersonating Elvis.
As long as we continue to find those stories, we will keep telling them. But I promise we'll spend a lot more time looking into the "real fraud" that Paduda mentioned.
Jim Sams is senior editor of WorkCompCentral.

Several years ago I worked as a janitor for a large church in my hometown. I had it all together. I was 21 years old, attending a secular college, and a staunch Arminian (the belief that we are not predestined for salvation and that we have complete free will over our destiny). I knew how to interpret Scripture exegetically and I most assuredly knew how to turn ignorance into a virtue. When somebody asked me why there were so many paradoxical passages throughout the Bible, I in turn told them that God is mysterious and we do not need to be meticulous about the difficult questions. Check. I was in position to win.
As time went on, the church hired another janitor to work with me on Saturday mornings. So every Saturday morning, Dave and I would work hard cleaning the church for the Sunday services. We would clean stairwells, vacuum the sanctuary, and wash windows; always conversing about something interesting. But every week, we would eventually get into theological debates about election, depravity, foreknowledge, etc. You see, as I was a devoted Arminian, Dave was an even more dedicated Calvinist. And for a year and a half, every Saturday morning, we would discuss where we each stood on these topics and why the other was wrong.
After I turned 23 I moved across country, dated a beautiful woman, and became engaged. Desiring a family that was united in doctrine, my fiance and I sat down to discuss the many issues of our faith. As I began to lay out that I was an Arminian, my fiance turned to me and asked what that meant. Being the genius that I was, I began with the discussion from the opposite point-of-view and articulated what Arminianism wasn't. And it definitely wasn't Calvinism. "What's that?" she asked.
Opening the Bible to John 17, Ephesians 1-2, and others I began to show her passages that the uneducated Calvinists used to "prove" their point. I read through passages that had Jesus saying, "I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours" (Jn. 17:9). I turned to Ephesians and read to her all of chapters one and two. Finally, I came to Romans 9 and started reading through this chapter verse by verse. As soon as I read through verse 16, I stopped, and as if God said "Let there be light", I turned to my wife-to-be and said, "I actually believe this." Check mate. God won.
In the blink of an eye, my whole theology changed. The Word of God spoke to me directly and plainly. I didn't know what to do with myself. God grabbed me by my ankles and shook me until my ignorance and pride were out the door running for their lives. I went from knowing Scripture intellectually to knowing God's grace personally. As God spoke existence into being, He spoke grace into me.
No longer could I claim that I had a part in my conversion. No longer do I have a place to boast. No longer am I sovereign over my destiny. I am in the Lord's hands. It is all because of Christ!

This section of the required methods course is designed for history majors planning to go into education or secondary education majors with an emphasis in social studies. The class will discuss philosophies and methods of history as they relate to education, particularly examining standards, pedagogies, and controversies. In addition to the books, we will use materials from various national and state associations and standards. This course is writing-intensive and designed as a discussion seminar, so we will be doing writing process exercises as part of our discussion of the readings. Grading is based on class participation, 2 thought papers, and a two-part project (an annotated bibliography and a lesson plan).
The best way to think about this class is with verbs: Read. Think. Discuss. Write.
Recently the state of Hawai'i decided to sign on to the Common Core state standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts, the latter of which includes literacy in history and social studies. As you engage in reading assigned for this class, think about how we learn to read, and read to learn—and how you can foster these skills in K-12 classrooms.
Critical thinking skills and information processing are much touted in education today, but in many ways these new pedagogical strategies are old ones dressed up in new media. Thinking requires first of all content about which to think—and the skills to find it—as well as developing ability to make sense of what you read, to follow a complex argument, and to ask questions about it. We will use our library's tutorials to develop these research skills and discuss how to use new media in the classroom through projects like History Day.
Class discussion is an opportunity to think out loud, to test your ideas about what you have been reading, and to refine them through interaction with other people's ideas. As such, discussion is more process than product, but it does require preparation in the form of reading and thinking. We will examine different pedagogical strategies for engaging students through dialogue.
In History, a written text is often seen as the final "product" of the discipline, but writing is also a process that is learned as well as a good tool for learning. The Writing Intensive designation marks this course as engaging both processes of learning to write and writing to learn. We will apply these ideas to the K-12 environment.

Participation and Presentation Guidelines
Because this is a seminar-style class, daily attendance is essential, as well as coming prepared to discuss the material. Students are asked to keep a reading journal and bring it to class to facilitate discussion. Students will also have opportunities to lead discussion on assigned readings.
Writing Guidelines
All papers should be typed, double-spaced in 12-point font using Word (.doc or .docx) and submitted electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com.
All citations should use footnotes in
Chicago Manual of Style Humanities style
(or see
Diana Hacker website
Papers are graded on:
clear thesis and argumentation, indicated in the introduction and in the organization of the paper;
adept analysis of sources and other information as evidence or examples; and
vigorous, readable prose style free of grammar and syntax errors.
The instructor will not fix grammar and syntax problems, but will stop reading after the first page if she finds more than one substantial error impeding the sense.
The instructor will not accept assignments from students who have not been attending class regularly, unless by prior arrangement with a documented reason.
A Note on Plagiarism and Cheating
Plagiarism, a form of cheating punishable under the UHM Student Conduct Code, is the use of someone else's words or ideas without citation or acknowledgement. This includes exact/unique phrases without quote marks; interpretive arguments (as opposed to general knowledge information) made to sound as your own when they are not; and sentences, paragraphs, or whole papers copied or downloaded into your paper. Any paper submitted to me that violates this standard will receive an automatic F (0 points) with no resubmission. Student cheating is also reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs, and any contested cases are referred to them as well.
Disability Access
If you feel you need reasonable accommodations because of the impact of a disability, please 1) contact the KOKUA Program (V/T) at 956-7511 or 956-7612, QLCSS 013; 2) speak with me privately to discuss your specific needs. I will be happy to work with you and the KOKUA Program to meet you access needs related to your documented disability. Student Academic Services also provides a wide array of learning assistance, counseling, and support services to meet student needs.
If you encounter difficulties during the semester, whether academic or personal, that inhibit your ability to manage the class requirements, please let me know as soon as it is practical so that we can work out a plan of action. You may also find assistance at the Student Success Center in Sinclair Library or Student Services in QLC.
Annotated Bibliography Guidelines
Log in to LILO, UHM's information literacy program, and create this project.
Choose a research topic that would be accessible for students in either grades 6-8 or 9-12, one that you could develop into a lesson plan. Check out the guidelines for History Day projects. Come prepared to explore your potential topic at the Library tour on
Find 2-3 primary and 5-10 secondary sources (mixture of journal articles, books, websites). Encyclopedias, general textbooks, and annotated bibliographies in print or online are useful starting points but do not count as scholarly research materials focused on your topic. Post a draft on Laulima before the workshop on
Produce an annotated bibliography for your topic, following guidelines in Benjamin and using Chicago Manual of Style for Humanities. Format should be double-spaced, typed, 12-point font, items arranged with hanging indent and listed alphabetically within sections: primary sources listed by author and title, with current or recent edition; secondary sources, broken into subsections of books, articles, and websites. Due
Final Project Guidelines
Design a lesson plan using state standards and benchmarks, based on your topic. The project has four parts:
Background: Grade Level and class/semester subject (e.g. Grade 7 Pacific Islands, 1st semester). Unit and Topic(s): Include a copy of the State Standards page (e.g. Standard 3: History: PACIFIC ISLANDS-Understand important historical events in the Pacific region; Topic: European Contact and Colonization). Reasons for choosing this unit: what you hope to gain or demonstrate. Submit with annotated bibliography on 03/17 and post it to Laulima.
Lesson Plan Outline for the week (5 days, 50-minute class time). Write your own Student Learning Outcomes based on the State Standards benchmarks and SPAs.
Integrate historical content and thinking skills with appropriate pedagogical techniques by listing for that week:
reading assignments: textbook, other secondary, primary
other homework and graded assignments (e.g. quizzes)
in-class topic with activities or plan for each day
assessment strategy: how you will apply the rubric from the Standards
Submit draft with Paper 2 on 04/19 and post it to Laulima.
One Day's Lesson Plan in-depth (50 minutes). State the goal for the day's activities relative to that week's outline, unit, and standards. Give a bullet point outline of your lesson plan, with anticipated time for each aspect (e.g. 10 minute lecture on x; writing exercise; discussion groups, etc). Briefly list content details on each item and any multimedia you might use or develop (web, PowerPoint, audio, etc)
Summary Statement. Write a 3-5 paragraph essay explaining your teaching philosophy relative to this assignment. Post to Laulima and bring a draft of all four parts to the last day of class, 05/03. Each student will make a presentation on their lesson plan (focusing on parts 3 and 4).

When it comes to streaming media players, you have quite a few choices. But there are a few that are consistently mentioned as the best. The Nvidia Shield has been around for a couple of years now, but the recent improvements push it forward into the class of the Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV, and maybe above them. Here are a few words from FamilyTech CEO Chris Bergman about his experience with his new Nvidia Shield.
The new Invidia Sheild hit store shelves earlier this year, and it comes with tons of great upgrades. A few that really stand out are Amazon Prime video, Google voice, and the ability to stream movies, TV shows, and games in 4K HDR if you have a 4K HDTV. If you don't, you still get high-def 1080p quality. And it has all the channels you'd expect like HBO Now, Hulu, and Netflix for streaming just about anything.
It's also easier to navigate than its competitors and is faster getting from screen to screen than my old Roku.
And it's great for gaming too. My kids love the ability to play their Android games on a big screen TV and we dig the GeForce Now game subscription option as well which provides unlimited gaming for only $8 a month.
A 16GB Shield runs $199 while a 500GB Pro goes for $299.
I've seen plenty of media players that claim to do everything, but the new Nvidia Shield is a true all-in-one solution.
