Back at CES 2017, Linksys announced its new line-up of Velop routers, which had mesh networking capability. Now, they're back at CES this year with a second model that is smaller and cheaper, while also being a tad bit slower than the flagship device.
Mesh networking is a way of connecting more than one router around someones home, office, or other areas to obtain a bigger and stronger network that delivers a faster and more reliable internet connection than that of a single router can do.
The first version of the Velop, alongside most of its competitors, have a tri-band system, meaning that they use three lines of wireless connection that they could use to talk to other routers and connected devices in the given area. However, because of how expensive that technology can get, most routers come with a dual-band system, and that is true with the cheaper Velop router.
As stated earlier, the cheaper Velop is a bit smaller than the outgoing model, which stood at 7.3-inches tall. Linksys has not stated pricing and availability details as of yet, but that could be coming within the next few months.
Linksys is going to include parental controls and some other software features when the device launches to improve stability and speeds, for those who are worrying about the slower speeds and ability to handle large numbers of connected devices.
Stay tuned to TechDependent for more of our CES 2018 coverage. To get caught up on what has happened so far, click here.

The season 9 of the Walking Dead will make a small leap in time
And if, for once, it was not said of the evil of The Walking Dead ? And if for once it was not said that the image of his creatures, it is a series of dead-alive ? And if, for once, we try to be nice with it in memory of the good old days ?
Yes because, as much admit it without detours, if it proved a massive hit as The Walking Dead, it is probably because we feed her against feelings guilty, not assumed, and prohibited. A species of secret love that we don't say aloud because we fear the reaction of friends.
In love, you said
Waiting to make the point on our feelings, we must admit that the series has decided to shake up their habits in order to please us. At the same time, the situation is grave because the hearings have never been so low and that the season 9 will be aware of the departure of two key persons, including the hero, which is not nothing.
But the new showrunneuse Angela Kang, has decided to obviously give everything to make the next season an event. And as this was apparently still not enough, here she comes. to confirm the micro to Insider that the season 9 will also be the opportunity of a small leap in time :
"We are working on a season that has really a new face and is fresh. We are playing with time in this season. So this allows us a certain way to advance in the story."
And no, we do not releverons not the absurdity inherent in such a statement feels the patch full nose to pick up the pieces and reconnect with the comics. No, we are not telling that in the comics, the end of the war against Negan is the opportunity of a leap in time of two years. As we will not say that this manoeuvre, for what it's worth, feels the map of the last chance to cut any link with the past, start again on good bases, and attract a new audience. We won't tell any of that because, we remind, at the bottom, we love The Walking Dead. Or then it's just to talk about it because it's click of death…
Walking Dead, cé tro well

If you are in search of a new search for your private home, then you must give some consideration to modern furniture. For example, it may possibly mean furnishings accomplished in right this moment's model, every time right this moment happens to be. For occasion, someone living in 1950 who owned furniture made within the 1950s may name it contemporary, however someone dwelling as we speak who owns furniture created within the current time could additionally name it that method.
You will discover it simple to include modern accessories and décor in your house, supplied you don't stay in a gingerbread Victorian packed to the rafters with antiques. Stick to these simple pointers when furnishing your own home and you will be enjoying modern décor before you recognize it! Contemporary can be attributed to a selected type of adorning which is easy, plain and yet subtle and trendy.
In truth, a lot of the furnishings displayed at these stores is made by some well-known manufacturers reminiscent of Zocalo, Ital Art, American Drew, Wesley Allen, Fairmont Designs and Trica Furniture. Geometric shapes are quite common in modern style which can provide the room a futuristic look. A key characteristic of latest accessorizing is the use of hand-created decorative items. Discover the big range of fashions, shapes, and varieties of up to date furnishings at our web site. This is the most important attribute of latest furnishings that it addresses the have to be distinctive and fashionable and but comfortable.
Contemporary furnishings is out there in any variety of totally different pieces, including tables, chairs, beds, nightstands, cupboards, and extra. Woven wooden blinds, mobile shades and curtains in natural fabrics hold the lines simple and are also an excellent fit in a contemporary area.

However, that depends an ideal deal on the place in the world the furniture comes from. Most individuals believe that a cheaper value in your furnishings signifies that it's of inferior quality, but this is not actually the case more often than not. The purpose is that eating table and sofa are the costly furnishings, so in the event you choose contemporary earlier than hand, you can save a lot of money on this.

When you wish to make an excellent purchase, you do not just make your resolution after you could have looked at one retailer.

In their article in this issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, S. R. Dominguez et al. (J Clin Microbiol 56:e00632-18, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.00632-18) describe the performance of PCR detection of herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA versus viral culture in skin and mucosal samples from 7 neonates with HSV disease. This is a significant contribution to our understanding of the optimal diagnostic approach in babies being evaluated for neonatal HSV disease. Many diagnostic laboratories already have made the change to molecular diagnostics for skin and mucosal swab testing, however, in large part due to the labor costs associated with viral cultures. Thus, important studies such as this one are being conducted to support a decision that has already been made in many locations on mostly economic grounds. This small case series supports the decision to use molecular testing for samples from skin and mucosal sites, but larger studies are needed to more fully define the performance characteristics of PCR in this population. Since a false-positive result would commit a baby to months of management that would be unnecessary and have potential harm, it is critical to base diagnostic decision making on data that support the use of a specific test.
The views expressed in this Commentary do not necessarily reflect the views of the journal or of ASM.
The advent of molecular diagnostics has revolutionized the practice of medicine. No longer is it necessary to grow a pathogen in the laboratory to establish a diagnosis. Now, one can simply detect its DNA or RNA using PCR or other powerful technologies. For herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, the PCR era was ushered in by Fred Lakeman and colleagues at the University of Alabama at Birmingham in their landmark 1995 publication describing patients with herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) (1). Prior to that time, the diagnosis of HSE required the patient to have a burr hole drilled through his or her skull so that a piece of (presumably infected) brain could be biopsied and sent to the lab for viral culture. Using stored cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from HSE subjects whose brain biopsy specimens grew HSV in a treatment study conducted by the Collaborative Antiviral Study Group (CASG) in the 1980s, Lakeman and colleagues proved that viral DNA could be detected in CSF with high reliability. From that point forward, invasive brain biopsies were no longer needed for the diagnosis of HSE. Shortly thereafter, Larry Corey, Anna Wald, and colleagues at the University of Washington published a series of seminal papers documenting the power of molecular test detection of HSV from mucosal samples from women with genital herpes (2–5). Cumulatively, these publications advanced not only the diagnosis of genital and central nervous system (CNS) HSV disease but also our understanding of the natural history of these infections through enhanced detection of the virus at specific anatomic sites down to the single-copy level.
In 1996, colleagues and I published similar work documenting the utility of CSF PCR in neonatal HSV disease (6). Over the next decade, significant advances were achieved in standardizing how PCR at one institution compares with PCR at another. In all of these situations, though, the gold standard against which HSV PCR was compared was viral culture. In the late 2000s, though, things began to change. Clinical laboratories came under increasing financial pressures, at the same time that molecular diagnostics seemed to be entering a golden era. It costs a lot of money in labor to maintain cell lines and to set up and read viral cultures. In contrast, purchasing one PCR machine that can run virtually any highly automated PCR test is less expensive over the long run.
In the case of neonatal HSV CNS disease, there are data that support the use of CSF PCR for diagnosis (6, 7). More recently, smaller studies of blood PCR also have suggested its utility in the diagnosis of neonatal herpes (8–10). However, comparative data on the detection of HSV from skin or mucosal sites in neonatal HSV disease are lacking. Since ∼70% of neonatal herpes cases have skin vesicles or mucous membrane lesions and the most common category of neonatal herpes (namely skin, eye, and mouth [SEM] disease) is defined as having solely skin and mucous membrane involvement, knowing how skin and mucosal PCR compares with the gold standard of viral culture is critically important. Diagnostic laboratories have extrapolated from the findings for other populations (e.g., the results for samples from the genital tracts of sexually active adult women) to suggest that PCR, of course, is as good as and is likely better than viral culture of skin or mucous membrane lesions from neonates. That in the process they can save their health care systems money by doing PCRs instead of viral cultures should not be considered coincidental. And they may be right. But there are no data comparing skin and mucous membrane PCR versus viral culture for neonates with HSV disease. The reality is that the economic tail is wagging the health care dog currently, in the hope that molecular diagnostics will work as well in this population as they have in other populations.
With their publication in this issue of the Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Dominguez et al. present a retrospective comparison of HSV PCR versus culture for skin and mucosal specimens from neonates with HSV disease (11). They are to be commended for their efforts to inject scientific inquiry into what currently is more of an economically driven calculus. While their report is limited by a sample size of only 7 and by a retrospective study design utilizing frozen specimens, it nevertheless is one of the first to attempt to directly compare PCR with the gold standard of culture in this population. Their results are encouraging. But 7 subjects are not enough to declare equivalence between PCR and culture of samples from skin and mucosal sites of neonates, and the authors are correct to call for larger studies to support their findings. Indeed, the CASG currently is conducting a large, multi-institutional (17 centers) prospective study to define the sensitivity and specificity of PCR versus culture in neonatal HSV disease. In addition, opportunities exist for collaboration between herpesvirologists and leaders of clinical microbiology laboratories at children's hospitals to pool specimens and resources in order to get to more definitive answers more rapidly.
In the absence of these data, though, policy makers have had to adjust their recommendations in the face of the economically driven reality that PCR is more widely accessible than viral culture. In all editions through 2012 of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Red Book, the Committee on Infectious Diseases (COID) recommended that part of the diagnostic workup for a baby suspected of having neonatal HSV disease include "swab specimens from the mouth, nasopharynx, conjunctivae, and anus ('surface cultures') for HSV culture" (12, 13). With the 2015 Red Book, the recommendation was broadened to include surface swabs "for HSV culture and, if desired, for HSV PCR assay" (14). In the recently published 2018 Red Book, the COID recommends that the physician send surface swabs "for HSV culture (if available) or PCR assay" (15). While the wording changes over this 6-year period may seem small, the intent clearly reflects the increasing difficulty in finding a place to send specimens for viral culture, thereby necessitating a shift to PCR even in the absence of data comparing the two.
The risks of shifting recommendations based upon availability rather than scientific comparison are not inconsequential. While it is likely that molecular detection of HSV will be more sensitive than viral culture in identifying HSV on the skin or mucous membranes of neonates, what if PCR is detecting DNA from nonreplicating virus? Or what if someone in the lab is asymptomatically shedding HSV-1 in their mouth (as 5% of the world's population is at any given time [16]) and it contaminates a PCR run? Since neonatal HSV infection is a potentially devastating disease, the physician is likely to consider a positive molecular test result as real and to treat accordingly. This includes 14 to 21 days in the hospital, placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter or central line, administration of parenteral acyclovir at a dose that in 20% of cases causes significant neutropenia, continuation of therapy beyond the acute phase with oral acyclovir administered for 6 months, following of absolute neutrophil counts throughout that time, and telling parents that their baby has a viral disease that quite likely came from a sexually transmitted infection—with the associated stresses that all of these place on a family. If the baby really has neonatal herpes, these are very necessary steps to take. If the test was a false positive, it exposes the baby and the family to what are unnecessary risks and harms. With the pace of diagnostic discovery increasing rapidly, now is the time to have more reports such as the one by Dominguez et al. (11) so that decisions can be data driven rather than economically driven.

It's finally, FINALLY April. After a particularly cold winter with a few too many snowstorms, I'm absolutely loving this 50 degree weather we've been having (the Texan in me never thought I'd say THAT…). It's time to get my tiny apartment out of hibernation.
Of course, if you're anything like me, motivation is key. How do I motivate myself? Real Simple Magazine, for starters. I have a subscription, and every time I read it, I want to clean and organize my apartment. I also want to paint it and go spend ridiculous amounts of money on fixtures at Anthropologie, but I'll save that for after I buy a place.
But that wasn't even my biggest motivator today. No, today I saw this video about a woman with a – wait for it- NINETY SQUARE FOOT APARTMENT. On the Upper West Side. For $700/month. (Yes, I realize that you can get a nice apartment with a laundry room for that in Indy…) And it was super organized and cute. It made me feel a little bad about all the complaining I've done about my small apartment (which is probably a whopping 550 square feet). If she can make her apartment organized and cozy, why can't I?
When I moved here almost a year ago (!!), I got rid of a LOT of stuff. Like, a LOT. At least half of my furniture, and countless bags of clothing/purses went to Goodwill. I sold my violin and guitar, and tried to keep to the bare essentials- so, lots of books and too much clothing. Andy and I have managed to almost get our apartment in a livable state, but we could really use another closet and room for another big bookshelf.
Organizing our apartment will be an ongoing project, but this weekend I did what I could to clean the other parts. Like most New Yorkers, I had my laundry sent out yesterday, but it won't be back until tomorrow morning. Today after ballet, I cleaned and mopped (that's right, MOPPED- not swiffered!) the kitchen and cleaned the bathroom. We changed the sheets and did our monthly paranoid preventative bedbug spraying in the bedroom. We finally threw out my gigantic cardboard box of big pictures (just the box, not the pictures), and now I'm going to have to figure out where to put them.
So, drumroll……..I'm finally ready to post some pictures of my apartment! I know some of my friends back in Indy have asked to see it. I've given a few Skype tours, but I still think the size might appear shocking to my friends in Indiana (for a frame of reference- my ENTIRE apartment could fit in the living room of the apartment I shared with Sarah and Katie a few years ago…).
So here's my semi-clean apartment. Does anyone have any organization tips? (That don't require a huge trip to Ikea..)
Bedroom, with Tinker blinded by the flash. To give you a sense of the size of the room- I'm standing in the doorway for this picture, and that's a full size bed- not queen.
Bedroom, standing on the corner of the bed. We have a VERY small closet and a few overhead cabinets, but that's pretty much it for built-in storage space.
Living room, from the bedroom door. This is where the magic happens- this is a living room, dining room, office, and more. The black and white poster/picture collage is still a work in progress. That's Andy's project.
Living room from the other side. We need more bookshelf space!
(I'm skipping the entryway and bathroom, because they're really not that exciting. And the bathroom's too small to get a good picture).
Next up, the kitchen: (taken from right in front of the fridge. All you're missing is the fridge and the recycling bins.)

Mystery shopping has taught me more about the patient experience than just about anything else. One of the most revealing things is what patients and visitors overhear from hallways, waiting rooms and exam rooms. They constantly hear things that they shouldn't; and that applies to clinics as well as hospitals.
One of the Disney principles is the "onstage and offstage" concept. Using that metaphor, the biggest problems exist because staff and physicians are not conscious of "stage." The stage isn't just when they are conversing directly with an individual. The stage is everything that a patient or visitor can see, hear, smell and touch – even when the curtain is closed.
Imagine that you have a cast of actors on stage. The curtain is closed and the auditorium is dark. The audience is sitting silently, each person anticipating the start of the show. From behind the curtain you hear voices arguing, gossiping, talking about specific members of the audience, or what they plan to do after the performance. The actors discuss their lousy working conditions and how much they hate their jobs. You'd be appalled. Even when the curtain opens and the show begins, it would be difficult to forget everything you just experienced, regardless of the beautiful set, perfectly orchestrated musical score and talented actors.
We observe "back stage" behavior in a significant percentage of our mystery shops. And they have a huge impact on the patient perception of the whole organization. A few recent examples include:
- A front office person hangs up the phone and says to her colleague, "<First and last name> is on his way in for <treatment>. When he gets here, you take him. I'm not going to deal with his crap today."
- Everyone in the waiting room got his name and reason for the office visit. They are now wondering how staff talks about them.
- A family inside a patient's room hears two physicians arguing about the care of their loved one. "If we do it your way, we could lose her."
- This sent the family into panic.
- A nurse calls her supervisor into a patient room. In front of the patient and roommate she points out an issue and says, "This is unsafe patient care."
- The issue isn't that she pointed out a problem. The issue is that she said it in front of two patients who will now question the rest of their care.
- A scheduler calls a patient on the phone and can be heard saying, "Is this <first and last name>? We have your test results for <condition> here and they're not good. Dr. <name> would like to see you right away."
- The people overhearing this call are now privy to someone else's personal information, and questioning how well their confidential information is protected.
I wish I could say that these are isolated incidents. They aren't.
I cannot stress enough the importance of monitoring what can be heard in waiting rooms, hallways and inside exam rooms and patient rooms. The issue isn't just about HIPPA violations. It's about how each comment impacts the patients' perceptions of the whole organization. So listen up! What you don't know can, and does, hurt you.

What informs our views on crime? Why do myths prevail across the political spectrum? How can we begin to understand crime for what it is – as a risk that can be managed and, more importantly, reduced?
From the wide-spread misconception that poverty causes crime to the belief that tougher prison sentences reduce it, Tom Gash marries real-life policy-making experience with research to challenge our perceptions of crime. After years of experience working at the heart of government, he argues that crime can be less rational and much easier to reduce than many people believe, and that there are small changes that can be made to achieve a dramatic decrease in wrongdoing.
In this talk at the RSA, policy adviser Tom Gash analyses how our obsession with universal rules to explain crime's causes can lead us to irreversible mistaken individual cases.

This week I had the opportunity to spend some time with faculty, students and friends at the great Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio. In addition to meeting with students to talk about what it would look like for them to continue their education at Midwestern Seminary #forthechurch, I spoke twice in chapel.
In two messages, I aimed to help students think through (1) how to live the Christian life when we face internal challenges and temptations in our minds and then (2) how to live when we face external challenges and temptations in the surrounding culture.
The answers to these questions are ones I first learned, in part, as a new believer in my undergraduate years, but, candidly, am still learning. In part, these were two messages I needed to revisit and review this week, and I am glad Cedarville gave me the opportunity to do that.
Here is the first message, "The Most Important Discipline I Learned in My 20s: Conquering Sin by Remembering and Reminding" (Ephesians 2:11-13).
Here is the second message, "Is this a dream? No, It's far worse … and better" (Psalm 73)
I've been thinking through these themes for a few years and, thus, you can read some earlier thoughts in article form on each message here and here.
Cedarville University has risen to the top as one of the best schools in Christian Higher Education in their theological commitments, integration of the Bible throughout the curriculum, and overall campus community and campus life. In addition, they have a near 100% job placement rate for graduates to career employment. Cedarville University is a wonderful place for future students to consider for their undergraduate studies.

Sorry, there is an other hardware limitation that don't allow us that change on current devices.
The main reason will be that it costs royalties to unlock an LTE band and makes the phones higher priced. So no manufacturer will do this after sales...

It is widely known that Sonny Stitt didn't want to be taken for Charlie 'Bird' Parker and changed from playing the alto to the tenor saxophone. Although false rumors pop up every now and then, the truth is that at the beginning of the 1940s Stitt independently developed the same be-bop licks as Parker without ever having heard him. For 1966's Stitt Plays Bird Sonny had to unearth his old instrument and insert a new mouthpiece because Atlantic Records and their entrepreneurial president Ahmet Ertegun hoped for big sales figures. Which actually proved true.
One half of the Modern Jazz Quartet provided the melodic and rhythmic basis for improvisations on eight 'hits' by Parker and one composition by his first employer Jay McShann. Added to this are the subtle, sensitive scatterings from Jim Hall and the emphatic beat from Richard Davis, both of which lend delicacy and pulse to the numbers. It's hard to recommend a special track, but "Scrapple From The Apple" is just awesome! All the numbers are based on standards – which are detailed in the informative liner notes by the be-bop expert Ira Gitler.
This Speakers Corner 180g vinyl reissue was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.
Sonny Stitt, alto saxophone
John Lewis, piano
Jim Hall, guitar
Richard Davis, bass
Connie Kay, drums

From the Daily Caller. (H/T Right Wing News)
A very large proportion of recent university graduates have soured on President Barack Obama, and many will vote GOP or stay at home in the 2012 election, according to two new surveys of younger voters.
"These rock-solid Obama constituents are free-agents," said Kellyanne Conway, president of The Polling Company, based in Washington, D.C. She recently completed a large survey of college grads, and "they're shopping around, considering their options, [and] a fair number will stay at home and sit it out," she said.
The scope of this disengagement from Obama is suggested by an informal survey of 500 post-grads by Joe Maddalone, founder of Maddalone Global Strategies. Of his sample, 93 percent are aged between 22 and 28, 67 percent are male and 83 percent voted for Obama in 2008. But only 27 percent are committed to voting for Obama again, and 80 percent said they would consider voting for a Republican, said New York-based Maddalone.
That's a drop of almost 60 points in support for Obama among this influential class of younger post-grad voters, who Maddalone recruited at conferences held at New York University and Thomson-Reuters' New York headquarters.
The bad news for Obama was underlined May 19 with a report by a job-firm Adecco that roughly 60 percent of recent college-grads have not been able to find a full-time job in their preferred area. One-in-five graduates have taken jobs far from their training, one-in-six are dependent on their parents, and one-in-four say they're in debt, according to the firm's data.
Let's see. These graduates voted for Obama during college, and now they've just finished going through many years of indoctrination from teachers who are typically isolated from real life, i.e. – isolated from private sector employment, military service, entrepreneurship, stay-at-home motherhood, and so forth. They parroted all of the secular left-wing views of their indoctrinators, got their diplomas in social work or English or peace studies, and now they are out on their own for the first time, looking for jobs from the people they have been taught to hate and despise. Imagine their surprise to find out that the world is nothing like they were led to believe, their non-quantitative degrees are useless, and that they are now $60,000 in debt, and they will never collect a dime from entitlement programs from Social Security.
Not to mention the $534,000 dollars that each household in the US owes because of Nancy Pelosi's $5.34 TRILLION dollar addition to the national debt. (H/T Doug Ross)
Image from Conservative Compendium.
Here's another interesting article from the Washington Examiner, by political guru Michael Barone.
Barack Obama and the Democratic congressional supermajorities of 2009-10 raised federal spending from 21 to 25 percent of gross domestic product. Their stimulus package stopped layoffs of public employees for a while, even as private sector payrolls plummeted.
And the Obama Democrats piled further burdens on would-be employers in the private sector. Obamacare and the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill are scheduled to be followed by thousands of regulations that will impose impossible-to-estimate costs on the economy.
[…]It's hard to avoid the conclusion that the threat of tax increases and increased regulatory burdens have produced something in the nature of a hiring strike.
And then there is the political posturing. On April 13 Obama delivered a ballyhooed speech at George Washington University. The man who conservatives as well as liberal pundits told us was a combination of Edmund Burke and Reinhold Niebuhr was widely expected to present a serious plan to address the budget deficits and entitlement spending.
Instead the man who can call on talented career professionals at the Office of Management and Budget to produce detailed blueprints gave us something in the nature of a few numbers scrawled on a paper napkin.
The man depicted as pragmatic and free of ideological cant indulged in cheap political rhetoric, accusing Republicans, including House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan who was in the audience, of pushing old ladies in wheelchairs down the hill and starving autistic children.
The signal was clear. Obama had already ignored his own deficit reduction commission in preparing his annual budget, which was later rejected 97-0 in the Senate. Now he was signaling that the time for governing was over and that he was entering campaign mode 19 months before the November 2012 election. People took notice, especially those people who decide whether to hire or not. Goldman Sachs's Current Activity Indicator stood at 4.2 percent in March. In April — in the middle of which came Obama's GW speech — it was 1.6 percent. For May it is 1 percent.
"That is a major drop in no time at all," wrote Business Insider's Joe Weisenthal.
After April 13 Obama Democrats went into campaign mode. They staged a poll-driven Senate vote to increase taxes on oil companies.
They began a Mediscare campaign against Ryan's budget resolution that all but four House Republicans had voted for. That seemed to pay off with a special election victory in New York's 26th Congressional District.
The message to job creators was clear. Hire at your own risk. Higher taxes, more burdensome regulation and crony capitalism may be here for some time to come.
Corporations do not hire workers or expand their businesses when there is uncertainty and looming tax increases.

Sri Lankan High Commissioner Prasad Kariyawasam has said that India will be isolated if Prime Minister Manmohan Singh doesn't attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. This came as the Tamil Nadu Assembly passed a resolution asking the Prime Minister not to attend the meet in Sri Lanka. Speaking to CNN-IBN, Kariyawasam said, "If PM Singh doesn't go, we have to think about who it will affect. Who will be isolated? Every other country barring Canada is attending. So those who don't attend will be in isolation." "The Tamil Nadu Assembly is uninformed on the status of Tamils and eventually, the decision on PM Singh's visit is prerogative of Indian government only," he added.
The resolution passed unanimously by the Tamil Nadu Assembly says no Indian representative should must attend the meet and that Sri Lanka should be suspended from the Commonwealth until Sri Lankan Tamils are granted independence. Many Tamil Nadu politicians including Shipping Minister GK Vasan have been pushing for India to boycott the meeting. (CNN-IBN)

A credit card statement consists of all the transactions you have carried out in the previous month, the statement period, due date, credit limit, minimum due amount, account summary, reward points, and offers. All these details can be combined to summarise your monthly credit behaviour and usage. Reading your credit card statement will help you find out any errors in the statement, so that you can then rectify them promptly. This is just one aspect, but there are numerous reasons why you must keep a tab on your monthly credit card statements. Take a look at the 4 such reasons.
To spot identity theft
Most of the time identity theft is recognisable when a fraudulent entity attempts it, as you will receive an OTP you have not initiated or a message with transaction details. However, thanks to technological developments, many frauds can go undetected. The only way you can track such transactions is via your credit card statement. So, it is always a healthy practice to go through your credit card statement to spot any transactions that don't add up.
To catch any errors
Your credit card issuer does not compute your bill manually, but through a software. Owing to this automated system, there can be misprints or erroneous entries, especially in situations when you swiped the card and the first transaction failed, but you were billed nonetheless. You can identify such mistakes only when you check the statement. Apart from this, see that the interest calculation is right, and no late payment penalty is added after you have made payments on time.
To keep track of your spending
Keeping an eye on your credit card statementgives you a glimpse into your monthly expenditure. By looking at all your transactions, you can understand your spending patterns and get a grip on your finances. You can curb overspending, see the overheads that you need to cut down on and ensure you stick to your budget.
To catch incorrect charges
Every credit card issuer charges you fees on special transactions, payment delays, balance transfers, partial bill payment and EMI conversions in addition to levying an annual fee. However, if you are paying your credit card dues in full every billing cycle, for example, then you don't have to pay any interest. So understand the fees or charges and how they are calculated, and then check your credit card statement every month to see if they you are being charged correctly.
If you are looking for a reliable issuer who not only permits online credit card payments, but also offers detailed credit card statements, apply forBajaj Finserv's RBL Bank SuperCard. This card packs in a punch with cashbacks, rewards, EMI conversions, and minimal charges. Moreover, you can use the SuperCard as an EMI card, loan card, and an ATM card as well and enjoy facilities like no-interest cash withdrawal for up to 50 days, conversion of credit card purchases into easy EMIs, and no-interest personal loan for up to 90 days.If you want to benefit from these features immediately,check your pre-approved offerfrom Bajaj Finserv and apply using your customised offer to enjoy instant approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the tape last on my skin?
Normally tape will last 3-5 days, though it can vary due to excessive oil on the skin or humid conditions. Make sure to clean skin thoroughly, then wait an hour before applying.
Can I shower with it on?
Yes, it is designed to stay on the body through showers, bathing and even in hot tubs.
Can I cut the tape? Will it lose its effectiveness?
Cutting the tape will not diminish the effectiveness, but one of the clear disadvantages of cutting it is the lessened ability of the strip to adhere to the skin. When you decrease the surface area of the tape sticking to the body, it will not have the same degree of sticky surface to attach itself.
Do I have to stretch the tape like other sport tapes?
Since the mechanism of Bolt Tape is from the solution on the tape and not the actual tape itself, it is not necessary to stretch the tape for effectiveness. Bolt Tape offers the benefits of sport tape, without needing to stretch the tape, and the bio-energetic response from the natural, safe energy solution.
Does it help in recovery?
Many athletes have reported that Bolt Tape has improved recovery from training including sore muscles and energy that is restored faster than normal.
Will I injure myself by not feeling pain where I have applied the tape?
No, the tape and energy only allow the body to rebalance the injury and does not allow a change in sensation or altered state to normal pain, soreness or other abnormality.
Does the energy on the tape only last a certain amount of time?
No, the energy in the tape lasts as long as the tape is adhering to the skin.
Does it work on Fibromyalgia?
We have had success with Fibromyalgia patients. The majority of people have had pain relief and improved function with Bolt Tape.
Does the tape need to be taken off daily and can I reapply?
Once the tape is applied, it can not be taken off and reapplied due to the nature of the adhesive. Put the tape on and leave it on. It is designed to stay in place for a 3-5 day wear time. Some people who have trouble keeping the tape on that long need to make sure the skin is dry and clean of excess skin oil, sweat, etc.
Is it normal to feel a tingly sensation when wearing Bolt Tape?
Although it is not an everyday experience to feel tingling when the tape is applied, the energy on the tape can "wake up" energies in the body that will diminish over time as a re-balancing of the system takes place. It will not cause any damage or harm from the tingling. It is temporary. As your system accommodates to restored function, you will experience better movement and pain relief.
Is the treatment on the tape going into my skin?
No, there is no absorption of the solution that is on the tape; it is strictly on the tape and does not pass into the body.
I am an athlete that is drug tested, is there any risk with this product?
There are no chemicals, medications or other elements in the solution that will cause any change in drug testing or absorption in any way. It has been applied to Olympic athletes and College athletes that were drug tested without any issues. It is energy that is changed in the body that creates the response, not chemicals or other absorbed substances.

TAtech is pleased to introduce a new feature that will, from time-to-time, spotlight some of the thought leaders in the talent acquisition technology industry. This week we're profiling Mona Tawakali, a Partner at KRT Marketing.
TAtech: Tell us about your company – what does it do?
KRT Marketing is a full-service recruitment advertising agency that provides large and growing organizations with talent attraction services across the globe. Companies choose to partner with KRT because of their commitment to analytics and using data to drive marketing decisions. KRT has gained broad recognition within the industry for its PPC Portfolio Manager™, a programmatic job ads service that uses job-level rules to optimize campaign performance.
TAtech: How did you fall, stumble or choose to get into the talent acquisition solutions business?
I originally studied to be a journalist and started my professional career in the newsroom and then in the advertising sales department at the CBS San Francisco affiliate. It's there where I developed my appreciation for the intersection of marketing, data, and storytelling.
I eventually wanted to go agency-side and moved to KRT and worked on all the non-recruitment consumer accounts. After a few years, I started to explore ways we could bring some of the more consumer-style digital marketing tactics to what we were doing on the recruitment marketing side… I guess you can say the rest is history!
TAtech: What do you think will be corporate recruiters' biggest pain point in the next 18 months?
Change management. Recruiters must learn to work in harmony with technology to recruit the best talent more efficiently than ever before.
TAtech: What's the hardest part of your business day?
The hardest part of my day is also the most exciting part of my job, finding innovative ways to help a very diverse set of clients solve a unique set of challenges. Every single day is different.
TAtech: What's the biggest challenge facing those of us in the TA solutions business?
The TA solutions business is more crowded than ever, and one of the biggest challenges is breaking through that clutter. The companies that are overcoming those barriers have been able to clearly articulate what problems they are solving while also providing analytics platforms to help employers measure the value of their investment. Integrating with diverse technology stacks also brings its own set of challenges.
TAtech: Tell us about an important lesson you learned in your very first job?
One of my very first jobs was as a makeup artist, and I learned so many valuable lessons from that job. First, the importance of good communication. Knowing how to ask the right questions to develop a clear understanding of someone's vision is critical to a successful outcome — I use a lot of the same approach in uncovering our clients' needs and challenges today. Second, I learned how to take feedback, and use it to pivot quickly…always with a smile.

text: Rector's Stewardship Message "Living Generously" They rise in the darkness as a light for the upright; they are gracious, merciful, and righteous. It is well with those who deal generously, who conduct their affairs with justice. For the righteous will never be moved; they will be remembered forever. Psalm 112:4-6 (NRSV) Dear Friends, Psalm 112 speaks eloquently about the theme of "Living Generously." It defines such generous living as being gracious, merciful and righteous. To live in such a way, we are to conduct our lives with justice. Such living in today's world is both a tremendous challenge and a source of inner peace. Generous living is much more than what we do with our money. We are called to be kind to one another and to all living things. We are called to deal with each other honestly and humbly. Living Generously is call to action to each of us as followers of Jesus. He showed us the way to live generously: by welcoming the outcast, by overturning the tables of the money changers in the temple, by dining with the poor and healing the sick, by teaching, by forgiving, and ultimately by giving his life so that all might have life abundant. On Sunday, October 9th, we embarked on a three-week annual giving campaign: "Living Generously". You have heard from fellow parishioners and me about how we are striving to live more generously as we offer our time, talent and treasure. Our campaign will be particularly challenging this year as we attempt to fill spaces left by some very generous givers who have gone on before us in the last twelve months into the nearer presence of God. As we meet this challenge together, we give thanks for many new blessings that have given to us as a parish family – particularly the ministry of Christopher Richardson with our children and young adults (have you seen him "high five" a six-year old yet?), our vibrant music program (including the completed organ – wow!), and the overwhelming number of outreach ministries and the literally thousands of souls they touch (In August I was present to give out over a thousand toothbrushes to Guatemalan school children in a single day!!!). Our ministries here at Saint Mark's are empowered through the generosity of all of our members. Each week, we are nurtured in word and sacrament. We are called by God to care for those who are ill or hurting, and to welcome all those searching for a community of faith. Saint Mark's strives to be a generous parish. Some of our members tithe, giving ten percent of their income to the church. Others commit a certain percentage, make a one-time annual gift, or give, as they are able. While giving levels vary in the congregation, what is important is that each of us give in a way that reflects our commitment to living an abundant and generous life in the name of Christ. Faith is a journey we make together, not a solo expedition. The annual giving campaign is a time set aside to reflect upon the practice of intentional giving so that we live into the generous and abundant life God is calling us. Jesus said, "I come so that all may have life and have it abundantly." Living generously brings us closer to that abundant life. Over the next three weeks, I invite you to prayerfully consider how you might live life more generously. Please consider how your standard of living lines up with your standard of giving. Think about the impact this community of faith has on your life and the wider community. Pray about God's generosity in your life and then make a pledge that reflects that generosity. On October 30th, plan to offer bring your folded pledge card to the altar as we sing the stirring hymn: "Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices". I am personally grateful for the wonderful, generous friends I have at Saint Mark's, for the ministries we share, and our ongoing commitment as Christ's "heart, hands and voice" to a broken and yearning world. Please join me in helping our church to further expand its footprint in the community and the world at large in 2017. Blessings and Peace, Paul St. Germain

The Adopt-a-Roadway Program is a volunteer litter prevention program for county roads. Similar to the Florida Department of Transportation's Adopt-A-Highway Program, which focuses solely on state highways and interstates, the County's program encourages local civic organizations, beautification, fraternal and business groups to adopt two or more miles of county and/or township roadways.
To participate in the program, an organization must be willing to pick up litter at least four times a year and provide adult supervision for youth groups that participate in cleanups. Other responsibilities of a participating organization are also available on this Web site. These guidelines are in place to protect the volunteer organization.
All an organization needs to get started is volunteers who are in good physical shape responsible and interested in helping to keep Lake County's communities clean and beautiful. There are many other benefits to participating in the Lake County Adopt-a-Roadway Program. To find a stretch of a County road that is currently not adopted and fill out an online inquiry.

In 1980, Eastern Shore Yacht Club was the only yacht club at Great Oak Landing. Eastern Shore was a long established, traditional club. A group of younger boaters, mostly sailors and many already members of ESYC had an inclination towards forming a less formal group with more emphasis on activities and boating. At a dinner dance in December of 1980, several of these folks got together, notwithstanding the stimulus of a few martinis and decided to form a new yacht club to be named Great Oak Yacht Club. To formalize this conception, they affixed their names to one of GOL's cloth dinner napkins. It is unfortunate that this napkin, which was later framed and fortunately photographed, has been lost. The following were elected to office at the first meeting:
Commodore - Bob Ziegler
Vice Commodore - Derrick Tuck
Secretary - Ruth Clements
Treasurer - Bob Clements
These folks, with the assistance of some of the early "charter" members, put together a set of By-Laws, went through the incorporation procedures, formed various committees, etc. In short they did a colossal amount of work in a very short period of time.
Our membership in 1981, our first operating year, was about 80 boats. Our first flag raising was on May 23, 1981. During that year there were several cruises, a square dance, golf tournaments, sailboat races, a field day, beach party, Monte Carlo night and several BYOB parties. Our Christmas party was held at the Philadelphia Country Club.
Our second year was difficult. The initial enthusiam declined and the degree of activities the previous year, provoked membership apathy. However, under the very persistent and capable leadership of Commodore Derrick A.C.Tuck, we survived. The offices of Rear Commodore and Fleet Captain were established. There was also an increase in the number of Directors. Our assets were minimal, barely covering the printing of the roster and various activities.
During the succeeding years, membership fluctuated but hovered around 80-90 boats. The expansion of the marina, plus a most active and aggressive membership chairperson at the time, Nancy Clewell, presented opportunities for our club to grow to one of the largest and best yacht clubs on the Chesapeake Bay.
Since then, GOYC has maintained a roster between 100 and 120 families every year. We were one of the few clubs that offered combined cruises for both power and sail. Our activities are geared towards families, with a strong emphasis on our junior members. We actively promote safe boating and have offered the US Coast Guard Safe Boating course to our junior members over the past ten years. Our Bridge, Board of Directors and Committee people are all volunteers, and we are constantly looking for new "blood". Not only does this help GOYC, it allows our new and old members alike to really get to know one another.
This year we have a host of activities. They will be posted on this website under Events.
If you are visiting our club for the first time, use the following link for Directions.
Mears Great Oak Landing Marina has been home to Great Oak Yacht Club since 1980. As a slip holder, the Officers and Directors of GOYC would like to cordially extend to you and your family an invitation to become members of our Yacht Club. Your membership entitles you to participate in numerous superbly organized activities. A typical yacht club schedule usually includes the following events:
- Chesapeake Marine: 10% off labor and parts
- GO Marina: 1.00 per ft. off waxing, bottom painting, and sanding. $10 off Weekly and Bi-weekly wash-down(s)
- Harbor House - 1/2 Price Appitizers (with membership card)
- 10% off liquor/Wine at Suds-n-soda (Chestertown)
- Boat US - $15 Membership dues, 10% Towing (Group ID GA81785Y)
Must show club membership card and FOR MEMBERS ONLY!
As you can see, your membership includes activities and events for all members of the family. Membership in Great Oak Yacht Club is a perfect way to enhance your family's boating experience while at Mears Great Oak Landing Marina and Resort. All of our membership dues go back to the members in the form of memorable and friendship filled activities. Please take a moment to consider membership in this very worthwhile organization. And as always, please boat safely!

Expected to Occur Between August 17 and October 15
Brillion, Wisconsin (June 14, 2018) – Ariens Company has announced the closure of its Auburn Manufacturing Plant located in Auburn, Neb. as it leverages its manufacturing footprint in Brillion, Wis. The shutdown is expected to be complete sometime between August 17 and October 15 of 2018. The closure affects 193 employees.
"This was a difficult decision knowing the Auburn employee base and the Auburn community, but it just doesn't make economic sense to keep this plant running in light of the significant productivity improvements that have been made elsewhere in the company," says Larry Weyers, President, Ariens Power Equipment. "The main plants in Wisconsin have increased daily production by 64 percent compared to last year."

I set aside the blue one and began again in Lizabeth Charcoal. The reason for this is the beads. They was too much discrepancy between the sizes that it was awkward to work.
Even though the thread size is the same, I had better results when I got beads closer in size. Another obvious mistake is the loading of the seed beads. I still like how it turned out. Once again I began with tatting the non-beaded butterfly then the beaded one. This time around, I didn't have any thread waste.
The most frustrating thing was the actual "weaving" of the extra beads. I broke at least 4 needles. Today while purchasing new beads to finish this, I came across these needles in the beading section of Joann's Fabrics and Crafts store. They are large eye beading needles. They are not cheap, luckily, I had a 60% coupon that took the sting out of buying them. I don't bead, so in all honesty, I can't say if they're expensive or not but $7 for two needles is expensive to me. These wonderful needles held up to the stress of running the thread several times through the beads, with the help of some pliers.

Texans sign first-round tackle Tytus Howard
The Texans have signed first-round offensive tackle Tytus Howard to a four-year contract worth $12.3 million and a signing bonus of $7 million.
JOHN McCLAIN'S MAILBAG: Is Texans' Tytus Howard the next Duane Brown?
The deal, signed in advance of a rookie minicamp that begins Friday, includes a fifth-year club option
Howard was drafted 23rd overall out of Alabama State.
The 6-5, 322-pound left tackle is expected to compete for an immediate starting job at left tackle to protect star quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson was sacked an NFL-high 62 times last season.
ON HOUSTONCHRONICLE.COM: Texans No. 1 pick Tytus Howard is all grown up
Recommended Video:
"It's just a blessing to sign my first NFL contract," said Howard, an all-conference selection who ran the 40-yard dash in 5.05 seconds at the NFL scouting combine. "Now, I'm ready to go to rookie minicamp and get to work and grow with my teammates and protect Deshaun."
Meanwhile, the Texans have made significant progress toward locking up their entire rookie draft class.
That includes signing second-round cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. (Kentucky), third-round offensive tackle Max Scharping (Northern Illinois), fifth-round defensive end Charles Omenihu (Texas), sixth-round cornerback Xavier Crawford (Central Michigan) and seventh-round fullback Cullen Gillaspia (Texas A&M, Katy Taylor).
The Texans are expected to soon reach a deal with third-round tight end Kahale Warring (San Diego State).

Parents who lost their 15-year-old daughter to suicide two months ago delivered a 30,000-strong petition to Parliament today to mark World Mental Health Day.
Hana Reedy and Api Nasedra presented a photo of their daughter Ariana, framed by the names of the thousands of New Zealanders calling for an inquiry into mental health.
Mrs Reedy's petition will remain open and can be signed at http://change.org/mydaughter.
The Hastings parents want New Zealand First to make an inquiry into New Zealand's mental health crisis a bottom line in coalition talks.
Before the election, all political parties, except National and Act, committed to holding an inquiry.
The petition and an earlier video of Mrs Reedy's story inspired an outpouring of support online. Mrs Reedy said she didn't want other family to go through what she had.
YesWeCare.nz, which ran The Shoe Project suicide prevention campaign, supported the family today.
Coalition members include the Public Service Association (PSA), New Zealand's mental health union.
PSA national secretary Erin Polaczuk says 77% of New Zealanders support an independent inquiry into mental health and support services.
"Families like Hana's are being forced to face their darkest hours alone," says Ms Polaczuk. "Hana's call for a mental health inquiry is supported by tens of thousands of people not because her story is unique, but because it reflects a shared experience of a system that is failing the people who need it most."
Polaczuk says the unions' members were "stretched" with many crisis teams "on the brink of collapse".
People's Mental Health Review spokesperson and Psychotherapist Kyle MacDonald says whoever wins the election, services need an overhaul: "The only thing that's changed since we launched the recommendations of the People's Mental Health Report is that things have gotten worse," he said.
– Mrs Reedy's petition is available at: http://change.org/mydaughter
– Comments supporting Hana's petition are available here.
– Health Minister Jonathon Coleman was invited to receive this petition on behalf of caretaker Prime Minister Bill English but was unable to attend.

ESMA yesterday published nine opinions on position limits proposed by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). These set the initial limits on those contracts which relate to metals and agricultural contracts traded on certain UK venues. At the same time, ESMA issued this master list of contracts on which bespoke limits are due to be set (that is, contracts considered to be "liquid" and therefore not subject to the default limit of 2,500 lots). The page with links to the opinion documents can be found here as well as on the master list.
The opinions join the three that were issued in August relating to agricultural contracts traded on the MATIF exchange (see here). Each of the nine contracts see one "spot month" limit and one "other months" limit. Unlike the limits set in August, these each comprise one value, rather than changing over the course of the month. Last month, ESMA announced that National Competent Authorities (NCAs) would be permitted to publish position limits directly without first waiting for ESMA to issue an opinion (see here). This is due to the number of limits to be published before they go into operation on 3rd January 2018. Last week the FCA published an updated master master of bespoke limits within their own jurisdiction, as well as a list of other contracts which would be subject to aggregated de minimis limits (see here).

"Gender Born, Gender Made," by Dr. Diane Ehrensaft is an amazing resource for anyone wishing to expand their knowledge on gender and children. I recommend this book to all of my client's parents who bring in their children for "gender issues."
Gender can be scary and complex, especially when you're the parent and you just want what is best for your child. Allowing your child to explore and express their gender is healthy and helpful in their development.
I encourage everyone to read this wonderful book and her follow-up, "The Gender Creative Child."
