My Heart Goes Out to Syria

The Syrian civil war is an ongoing armed conflict between the government and the opposition forces. The conflict has caused thousands of Syrians to flee as refugees and the death toll continues to rise every day. Millions have lost their homes, loved ones and cities have been torn down due to war.
What started off as a peaceful protest in 2011 has turned Syria into a blood bath where a shocking figure of more than 250,000 men, women and children have been killed. The internal conflict has seen a steady rise with rebels fighting against the government forces. This armed conflict has led to the descent of the civil war and we know thousands continue to die even today.
It's horrific to see Facebook posts every other day where families have been displaced, children have been wounded and countless have been killed. We hear terrorizing stories of ISIS who have inflicted brutalities on Syrians with their own propaganda. The 'war within a war' situation has transcended into the rebels, jihadists, government backed forces and the Kurdish wage a war among themselves. And in this mess, the internal conflict among the various political parties has left millions dying or fleeing the country for their lives.
This Syrian conflict is one of the worst humanitarian tragedies in today's times. The UN security of council has demanded that the use of weapons be stopped in crowded areas, but we see towns ravaged by bombs and Syrians massacred on streets. And while all of this happens, the I.S. fighters carry out their own public executions and inflict punishments who refuse to accept their agenda. The common man is living on the edge with death, terror, bloodshed and no hope for the future. ISIS may have lost most of their territory in 2017, but the damage they have caused is irreparable.
It's heart wrenching to see the children suffer, and 2016 was the worst year where more than 652 died. UNICEF has stated that more than 850 children were recruited to fight, which is twice of what they did in 2015. We see images on television channels very often where millions of children have been brutally attacked and many left orphaned. These children have been psychologically ruined and scarred for life. They see no future ahead and are at the mercy of their perpetrators. Almost every child that we see in these images has lost a home, a family and have had their towns bombed.
President Assad and his supporters continue to participate in this genocide. The atrocities inflicted by the ISIS have killed numerous innocent lives. It is a modern day holocaust with thousands perishing by the cruelties of the regime. Turkey and Jordan have opened up their borders and are accepting refugees arriving in large numbers. The Gulf States are staying out of this, Germany seems to be doing a lot of relief work and the British have implemented stricter border laws. The intensity of human suffering in Syria has been at its worst in the last couple of years and it continues today.
The rest of the world is watching in silence, and that's the real tragedy.

Cherie Moore commented on Disease Facts 2018-07-26 12:38:16 -0600This information is informative, but darn if I totally understand it. It would help, from time to time, if less technical terms were used and more "everyday" words were used. It shows a lot of time, effort and preparation were put into these videos. Fantastic info., but I need to watch several times to get it.
Cherie Moore commented on My Story 2018-07-16 15:29:38 -0600My grandmother, mother and brother had this disease and died. I literally ran to a doctor to test my blood 4yrs. ago after the death of my younger brother and was told I do not carry the gene for this disease. Recently had hernia repair surgery and got an unusual bill from pathology. Called about the bill and found out surgeon had biopsies done on my liver, knew I had this disease and never said a word to me or my husband. If I had not called about the bill, I never would've known. Now, I start down the road of this journey to save my life. Your information helped me extremely well and I can't thank you enough.

Code style
Different developers always use different coding styles, and there is no problem with that. However, when working as part of a large team, developers constantly edit or view code written by other developers. In addition, code searches, which become important when a code base grows larger, remain dependent (to some extent) on code formatting. Some form of code etiquette, if done right, can therefore boost productivity.

Code elegance
It's pretty difficult to settle on what code elegance really means, but I would argue that the more symmetric and compact code is, the more elegant it is. As long as it does not get in the way of code readability, of course.
Which one of the following looks better? Version 2 does the same as version 1, but only uses only one line of code. Code efficiency is at least better with version 2. Version 2 is also a bit more mathematic, and therefore, I would argue, more elegant.

Aging Millennials do the most shopping over holiday weekend
Thanksgiving. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. That long weekend, which also swallows up another two days of the week in November, has it all, if shopping's your thing. And this year, it turns out shopping really is your thing – if you're at the older end of the Millennial Generation. Older Millennials – people born in the 1980s who would be between their mid-20s and mid-30s by now – outperformed other shoppers over this year's long weekend. On average, they shelled out $419.52 over the full five-days, 25% more than the overall average.
This finding is delivered courtesy of the National Retail Federation's (NRF) latest survey, and directly reflects the increase in spending power that the Millennial generation has undergone and is undergoing. It also implies more trouble for brick-and-mortar retailers: Millennials are notorious for using their phones to shop with.
That isn't directly backed up by the data. This year's survey blended in Cyber Monday and online deals with the offline action to produce a more robust overall view of retail. But it means separating out online and offline channels is hard. NRF CEO Matthew Shay told listeners on a conference call: "The big takeaway here is: Gone are the days you could measure the success of this weekend by looking at a single metric."
What we do know is that 174 million Americans shopped online and in-store over the period. That beats the NRF's estimates for 164 million by a long shot. But researchers at ShopperTrak seem to indicate that brick-and-mortar retailers felt the pinch: footfall was, allegedly, down by 1.6% over Thanksgiving and Black Friday together.
Still, the majority chose to blend Ecommerce and physical shopping. Shay says: "We were very encouraged that what we saw was strong engagement across the board, both in stores an online. That validates the investment retailers are making to reach customers in multiple ways."
Dominion holds a number of online retailers, including Amazon, Zalando, Google, Alibaba, and more, in its Global Trends Ecommerce Fund.

RAIPUR (CHHATTISGARH) — Abhinandan Pathak, who looks like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, dresses and speaks like him and begins his speech with 'Mitron', is campaigning for Congress party these days in Chhattisgarh.
He was Uttar Pradesh vice president of BJP-led NDA constituent Republican Party of India (Athawale) till he joined Congress last month.
"Achhe din nahin ayenge"(Good days will not come), he says at election rallies. During 2014 Lok Sabha campaigns, Modi and BJP had promised achhe din to people.
"Since I look like Modiji, people will always ask me where are the 'acche din' (good days), as promised by Modiji ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha election. Hurt by seeing problems of the common man, I left the BJP's ally to join Congress last month," Pathak was quoted a saying by PTI news agency.
In election meetings, Pathak is reportedly targeting the prime minister, while mimicking his style, over his promises of 'good days' and depositing Rs 15 lakh in bank accounts of every Indian after retrieving black money stashed abroad.
"Mitron (friends), I came here to tell you the truth that 'achche din' (good days) are not going to come. It was a false promise and please vote for the Congress which can ensure your development," he said, while addressing people.
Since 2014 till last month, Pathak had been campaigning for BJP and its allies.

DEL NORTE- The town of Del Norte recently hosted the Rural Philanthropy Days (RPD), a funding conference provided through the Community Resource Center (CRC) that brought grant makers and grant seekers together for a three-day event. Several organizations from the six counties in the San Luis Valley gathered in Del Norte for three days of networking and learning the fundamentals of grant seeking to help their organizations and communities. RPD is a statewide program hosted by the CRC that helps communities create opportunities for local organizations and nonprofit groups to meet with grant makers and learn how to make a grant proposal a success.
During the conference, which was held at the Gateway Church in Del Norte, an openly gay activist, Justin Garoutte, with the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE) and another pro LGBTQ man gave speeches that have sparked controversy within the San Luis Valley and beyond.
During his speech, Justin Garoutte focused on the struggle many young gay individuals face while trying to accept their sexual identities. Garoutte opened his presentation by stating that he grew up in southern San Luis Valley in the community of Antonito and that he struggled with coming to terms with being a young gay man throughout his life. According to sources, and a transcript of his speech, Garoutte continued in great detail about his journey and acceptance of his homosexuality.
According to sources, a few attendees walked out of the conference during the speech but otherwise it was well received. However, behind the scenes, those who are associated with the Gateway Church felt differently. Gateway Church Pastor Greg Schaffer told Valley Publishing staff that he responded to his congregation during his sermon the following Sunday by stating, "We were absolutely taken off guard. Even the local group that planned the event was not aware of the presentation. When our church opened our doors to the community for Rural Philanthropy Days, I believed it to be a good thing. I thought it would be a blessing to contribute to the success of local business, people and ultimately to the economic growth of our Valley. However, when a guest speaker got up and began to share his life story about how he embraced his homosexuality, I was a bit taken aback and unsure about what was taking place. As far as I knew, RPD had nothing to do with a man's life story of how he embraced his homosexuality. Let me make this clear. That the surprise, and eventual offence, was not that he was homosexual, but the content of what he shared was offensive. What was shared in our church behind our pulpit was a message that clearly mocked God and belittled our faith. In his story the reference was made to his sexual experiences and the shaking off of his religious guilt."
The refence to sexual experiences was substantiated by the following transcript of a portion of Garoutte's speech provided by a trusted anonymous source, "The internet was both a blessing and a curse. Late nights in my mother's empty kitchen, after she'd gone to bed, allowed me the freedom to explore my sexuality (the kitchen was the only place I could connect to our dial-up AOL internet connection back then). AOL chat rooms introduced me to entirely new realms that I otherwise didn't have access to in rural Colorado. I could virtually meet other guys online and find answers to my questions that neither of my parents could give me; as they still didn't know what I was going through."
Garoutte continued by stating, "A short while later, after having returned to my studies and having met a gentle, caring man late one night at a college party, I returned home with a hickey. This hickey forced me to come out to my mother and two younger sisters."
In an interview, Pastor Schaffer stated, "In reference to the words I shared last Sunday. First, my congregation deserved an explanation as to what took place. They also needed to be reassured as to who we are and what we believe. In my sharing, most of those who were offended turned their ears off when they heard me say, 'We do not agree with homosexuality.' However, after that statement was made, I called our people to love all in spite of our differences. I also shared that we must see all sin as the same and to first look at our own sins before looking at the sins of another."
Pastor Schaffer continued, "We as Christians are called to forgive, to walk in peace and to love our fellow brother. We endeavor to do this every day. We will not trade insult for insult. We will forgive what has been said and work on building meaningful relationships will all people to lead to mutual respect. We would ask for the same in return."
The sermon was video recorded and shared online on a YouTube channel and has quickly gained National attention. In response to Pastor Schaffer's sermon, a group of concerned citizens gathered together to protest outside of the church on Sunday, Sept. 29.
Scott Rappold, the organizer of the protest, had this to say, "Many of us in Del Norte were shocked when we heard about the divisive, homophobic sentiments expressed by the pastor of Gateway Church in last Sunday's sermon. And because a gay man spoke at the church when it was loaned out for a community event, Rural Philanthropy Days, Pastor Greg asked for a 'one-prayer cleansing' of the building. Such statements are not indicative of the spirit of inclusion and acceptance that we embrace here in Del Norte. We decided to make our sentiments known by protesting at the church because we want the community and our visitors to know that this is a welcoming town, no matter someone's race, background or sexual orientation. Our goal is not to sow discord in Del Norte but to ask Pastor Greg and Gateway Church to issue a public apology for the sermon, which has cast Del Norte in a negative light and has portrayed the community as one of bigotry and hate, which could not be further from the truth."
With regard to the recent San Luis Valley Rural Philanthropy Days (SLV RPD) conference held in Del Norte and corresponding events held at Gateway, The San Luis Valley Rural Philanthropy Days (SLV RPD) Steering Committee Leadership, and partner organizations, Community Resource Center and Anschutz Family Foundation, stated that, "The SLV RPD Steering Committee, made up of diverse individuals from across the region, spent a year collaborating to design and present a conference that reflects our shared values of equality and inclusion for all people - including those from the LGBTQ+ and faith-based communities. This collaboration celebrates and encourages diversity by bringing together regional leaders from all six counties of the San Luis Valley. As members of the nonprofit sector, we strive to build community, connect people, encourage philanthropy and enhance organizational capacity to support thriving and healthy rural communities across Colorado. We want to focus on our commitment to equality and inclusion for all. The future Steering Committees will ensure that our chosen partners and venues are committed to this message. We want to continue to build bridges and advance a healthy dialogue."
The Del Norte Prospector reached out to Justin Garoutte but did not receive a response by press time. According to sources, the protests of Gateway Church will continue until the church issues a public apology for the Sunday, Sept. 29 sermon. You can follow this developing story on Valley Publishing publications, websites and Facebook pages.

Facebook app stuck at logo
The Facebook app for Windows 10 will not get past the logo! it is stuck at the blue background with the F Facebook logo. I tried closing the app and reopening it but it made no difference. I googled "Facebook app stuck at logo windows 10" but only results about the app crashing showed up in the results, the app is not crashing, so I added a "-crashing" to force Google to exclude the word crashing but now only results about computers stuck at the Windows 10 logo during boot showed in search results. There is nothing anywhere pertaining to this problem. There seems to be no information or anybody else with this problem with the Facebook app for Windows 10. It is important that I get into it because my school account is tied to the app while my personal account is tied to my Firefox.
Does anybody know what is wrong and how can I fix it?

Another week, another whisky event, this time – in my home town.
This was another event run by the increasingly busy Whisky Lounge, run by Eddie Ludlow. I attended on account of my hard work at the Manchester event, and on behalf of the best whisky shop in the North of England – in my opinion, The Wright WIne & Whisky Company…
As a customer on this occasion, it was all about tasting for me on this event, and after a pint at the York Tap, we headed off…
Read on to find out what a Whisky event is about – and the 16 whiskies I sampled…
The format for these events, for those who haven't been, is at follows;
- take a large room
- invite loads of distilleries
- invite loads of customers
- give customers a glass as the enter
- leave customers to seek out what they want
Simple really – and everyone's a winner. As a customer, you try a load of Whisky – many which you may never have considered before, and as a distillery, you get to show said customer why they should part with their hard earned money.
In between all this, The Whisky Lounge do special tasting sessions, and in the corner, someone is selling bottles to you. Genius.
Starting off with familiar territory of Glenfiddich (spirit and faces), we had a Madeira Cask – quite a rich 19 yo which I had tasted in Manchester, but perhaps my Oktoberfest Bier from the York Tap was playing too much of a part in this tasting, as it didn't grab me as it had done in Manchester.
After a quick 'hello' with the incredibly knowledgable Katie from The Wright Wine & Whisky Co., we headed over to The English Whisky Co to have a catch up with Andrew Nelstrop, MD. Here, to Andrew's advice, we started off with Chapter 6 – a non-peated and easy going dram which is surprisingly just 3 years old. (Made me wonder what a cask of Bunnahabhain, which I part own, currently tastes like…?).
Smooth and easy as this was, we were after something to arrest the senses a bit more. Staying with Andrew, we sampled their peated whisky (Chapter 11?). Not cask strength but didn't need to be. This clearly showed us that our palette's wanted something more powerful rather than delicate and subtle.
Staying with the peat, i was tempted by Laphroaig and their Triple Wood single malt. THis is distilled in bourbon barrels, transferred to quarter casks, then finished in Oloroso sherry butts. It is unmistakably Laphroaig: spicy, medicinal, smokey. In fact, this reminded me of my first taste of Caol Ila, and not for the first time on this day, started me reminiscing of days in Islay…
I was still looking for 'something' I hadn't had before, and after a detour with Hakushu 12 yo (rich, christmas cake – somewhere between makers mark and a lightly peated scotch whisky), i opted to try Auchentoshan – not a brand i am familiar with.
Upon advice, I tried the Three Wood – matured in bourbon then Oloroso Sherry or PX casks. Now THIS was the fruit and spice we were waiting for. Oranges, treacle and raisins with a lovely rich finish with an woody finish. Lovely. So far, dram of the day. (Julian – reserve me one!)
Next up, Glengarioch Founder's Reserve. Again, not a distillery I am familiar with, and to be honest, it didn't change my world. Worth a try – of course – this is what whisky events are all about, but after the Auchentoshan, perhaps i needed a glass of water and a sit down to watch the swollen waters of the Ouse pass by as i reflected on the Three Wood…
Again, a chat with Katie, and a quick slurp of The Whisky Lounge's blend served up by the ever friendly Joe.
Moving on, under Katie's strong recommendation, we went for the Balblair 75. Wow. Boom. This was the stuff we were here for. Ok, so it had the heftiest price tag of the day – but this was everything we were looking for. Full of nose, flavour and finish. This really stopped us in our tracks. Ok, so we were 8 samples in and tried a younger Balblair too (my handwriting was going astray at this point), but we agreed – Balblair was 'the one'..
Where to go from there? 2 highs with Auchentoshan and Balblair. Following these high expectations was Glenkinchie 12 yo. A light, smooth and floral lowland spirit bottled at 43%. Perhaps I should have started with this, not after some peat-monsters.
Singleton 12 followed – again, a smooth and mellow dram, but perhaps too late in the day to do a lot for me. Some rich fruits and nutty tastes – but all together not powerful enough for me.
Somewhere, in the haze, i recall The Balvenie (Caribbean Cask for me, Singlewood for my brother). Doublewood is a favourite of both of us – but…. the same heights weren't met. To be honest – we were both left feeling a bit let down.
Additionally, we had Lagavulin 16 yo. Strong, smooth, peatey, smokey. Reliable and absolutely fantastic. I was in a good place trying this, and it really evoked memories of a great, great sample session with Iain McArthur. Just brilliant. Simple.
Very, very finally, we finished on a particularly high note. A surprise package too: Buffalo Trace Distillery.
I love Bourbon, that's where The Whisk(e)y Obsession started with me, but was never to familiar with Buffalo Trace. We had, in the following order; WL Weller 12 yo (this has 3 ticks on my notebook, so much have been great), Hancock Single Barrel and finally, Rock Hill Farm. All of them lovely, rich as bourbon should be, but the standout, WL Weller 12 yo: a wheated bourbon and is smooth with a chocolately taste to it. Just wonderful.
So, all in all, 16 whiskies and some new favourites in Auchentoshan, WL Weller and Balblair, but special mention to Lagavulin for reminding me how fantastic it is.
Can't wait 'till the next one…

Many business owners stick to Excel as a tool for Inventory Management because it is simple in use and inexpensive. In reality it causes more damage to business than it really helps in inventory tracking. As the company grows, it becomes increasingly more difficult to organize schedules and keep track of certain types of data. As the number of transactions grows, Excel cannot provide up-to-the-minute, real-time inventory tracking. As Excel documents grow in size, business owners come to understand that business cannot grow further for the following reasons:
1. Manual entering of inventory causes inevitable data errors which are not easily spotted and therefore cannot be corrected. It leads to confusion, re-ordering, overstocking or understocking. The manual approach is time consuming and causes unnecessary expenditures.
2. Excel limits use to only one user at a time, while most companies have several people who do the inventory tracking. This leads to an increase in error and inefficiency. Today there is a need for multiple users to review and update inventory details; this can be done by an automated inventory tracking system.
3. Acting upon wrong or insufficient information can be harmful to business. Excel doesn't provide up-to-the-minute, real-time information. When inventory data is entered at certain times only, the business owner gets a huge unsynchronized spreadsheet. This can be misleading as data can change between the time it is entered and the time when a worker or a business owner checks it. There is a need for real-time inventory tracking.
4. It takes a really long time to find or track items in Excel document. A business owner or an accountant has to deal with enormous spreadsheets to find acute information. Besides that, they have to manually count inventory and enter data into a spreadsheet. Printed inventories have to be transferred into spreadsheets, which is time consuming. As a result, it is next to impossible to have a clear picture of resources' allocation and movement.
Even though Excel is familiar and inexpensive, it makes sense to switch to an easily operated, automated and cheaper than expected inventory software, such as HandiFox. It will pay for itself in no time with cost savings and increased sales.

1. Allusion.—This is the finest of all rhetorical figures, partly for the reason that it most directly compliments the reader's intelligence and education. It assumes that he is familiar with the story, passage, character, or fact alluded to, and that he will see the resemblance without having it pointed out and explained. It often enables the writer to suggest a great deal with a word or two or a short sentence... Two qualities are requisite in an allusion: it must have point by reason of an evident similarity in the circumstances, characters, or relations that are compared ; and it must allude to something that the reader may be supposed to be familiar with, or at least to have heard of. It would not be possible to define any strict boundary for the realm of allusion, and a boundary that might be proper for one set of readers would not do for another. (Johnson, 17-19)
2. A figure of speech may contain a reference to some noteworthy incident in history, in classic story or literature, in the Bible, or to some fable or proverb or well-known custom, and so may carry additional authority and beauty. Figures containing such allusions show not only the author's perception of the relations which things sustain to each other but that he has read as well as observed, and for that reason are grateful to the reader or hearer. (Kellog, 120)
1. For instance, it should always be allowable to allude to anything in the Bible or in Shakespeare, assuming that every intelligent reader has some familiarity with them. Perhaps if we could have a committee on the subject, they would agree in adding Pilgrim's Progress, Robinson Crusoe, Don Quixote, and AEsop's Fables. (Johnson. 19)
1. An example of a very common Bible allusion occurs in Frederic Harrison's Biography of Cromwell: " The voice was the voice of Fairfax; but the hands were the hands of Oliver." The Old Choir, by Benjamin F. Taylor, contains a similar but less common allusion:
The three-score grief is not akin to youth's:
And Whittier, in The Crisis, has these lines:
Even now, from starry Gerizim or Ebal's cloudy crown,
A delicate and beautiful Bible allusion occurs in John Williamson Palmer's For Charlie's Sake:
I would not any seer might place

NeoGraft - Imran
I'm 24 years old and I got my NeoGraft done about six months ago. The reason why I got it was because I started balding and thinning pretty heavily starting at 17. Pretty much my young adult life was filled with a bunch of insecurities and low confidence because of my hair. That was the biggest thing that was making me feel upset, and I would wear hats constantly. So I made the decision to get a NeoGraft done, and I couldn't be happier with the way it looks and how I feel.
There are a lot of different things that I tried for my hair, some shampoos like Rogaine. I looked at the strips that you can do. I looked at going to a different country for a cheaper procedure. I just looked at everything that what was possible, feasible for me to do. But in researching NeoGraft, it felt the most comfortable for me. It felt the most safe and the most natural.
I actually chose Krch Med Spa because I work with Dr. Ryan Krch N.M.D.. We coach a high school rowing team together and he had always been talking about his aesthetic practices, and they're not invasive. And he brought up NeoGraft and said I would be a great candidate for it.
Dr. Krch is very detail-oriented. He's trustworthy, and he does everything to 100%. So there was no question that I put my entire faith and my hair and confidence in his hands, and honestly I couldn't be happier.
During the procedure, I was a little bit overwhelmed. You would think that even though I've had a short time of thinning hair and balding, that I shouldn't feel that way. But it was so overwhelming to the point where I was brought to tears when the procedure started. Even though it was anesthesia and it was a little bit painful, I was completely overwhelmed with everything happening because it had been something that I had been thinking about every single day of my life from 17 to 24, and at that moment it was changing.
The procedure itself, I don't remember all of it because I was asleep. And it was a great nap, I will say. But I just remember once it was all over, all the steps, I felt really good. I knew it was going to be a long process to heal, but I knew that it would be worth it in the end.
The post procedure was not too bad. It really only lasted couple days. But at that time it was tough for me because I had few events going on where I had to be talking to people and be outside, and stuff like that. But it's really the challenge in terms of the procedure itself was having to reapply the bandages, take them off, and all that stuff. And it just seemed like the blood that was left over, and kind of gross. But just also being really careful in terms of not touching the top of your head, because I didn't want any of the follicles to fall out, and just being really careful in terms of showering.
But after a couple days, everything was good to go. I still had to be careful in terms of showering. I think I took a little bit longer to shower carefully just because I was just worried that something would happen, so I just wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

The Georgia basketball team has a new player. Lithuanian guard Ignas Sargiunas signed his letter of intent earlier this week to join the Dawgs for the upcoming season.
Georgia has had a few international players on the roster in years past but the program definitely isn't known for pursuing international talent as much as some other college basketball programs.
Sargiunas is a 6'5″ combo guard that has been playing basketball overseas for his entire life. He has played on several of Lithuania's national teams. That experience on such a large stage was one of the reasons head coach Tom Crean became interested in the young guard. Sargiunas' stats don't jump off the page at first glance but his ability to be a two-way player and his diverse set of skills make him a solid addition to the Georgia basketball team.
At 19 years old, Sargiunas will provide some good, young depth to Georgia's backcourt this upcoming season. While fans shouldn't expect him to start, he'll likely see some good minutes off the bench if he can transition smoothly to playing in the NCAA.

To start a blog post with a weak title is probably not the smartest thing to do and I do think Terry Fallis' title is weak. While reading this compelling story, I just could never remember the title. Finally I wrote it down. Because the book is excellent. And the story of the book is excellent.
Terry Fallis wrote about the political scene in Ottawa, a scene his main character, Daniel Addison, was trying to escape. His way out was to find a Liberal party candidate in a totally Conservative riding just outside Canada's capital. By cajoling and dealing, he talks fellow university professor, Angus McLintock, into being the candidate as long as he doesn't have to speak, go to meetings, campaign or in any other way waste his time. Angus' name is on the ballot. Period.
Fallis' satirical story gives a unique and humorous slant to party politics. Angus McLintock gets elected by a huge fluke and then, amazingly, goes on to win public support by being an honest man and not by following the party leader. He thinks for himself. And it works.
And that is the similarity between Angus and Terry Fallis, the book's author. Faced by a whole year of rejections from the publishing world, Fallis self-published The Best Laid Plans. He did it his way. Next he won the prestigious Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour. You can bet the publishing world took notice then.
Three characters in the book are outstanding: the crusty professor, Angus, who writes letters to his deceased wife, the disillusioned speech writer, Daniel Addison, who grows from party-politician-back-room guy to Angus convert, and the five times ran-and-lost, eighty-one-year-old Muriel Parkinson. She hasn't lost a whit in intelligence or usefulness, even though she is in a seniors' facility.
The book, then, gets a five-star review from me. Canadians who are just sick of the same old party platitudes or who enjoy satire will love it. The rest of the world can learn a little about Canada and a lot about human nature. And they can probably easily take a lesson from Angus that will apply in their own country.
Have you read Terry Fallis' book? What did you think of its portrayal of Canada's political system? Leave a comment about this or other great books.

Got the latest Essential Fantastic Four this week featuring the last issues Jack Kirby pencilled. I was inspired today to finish the inks on this Captain America piece over a copy of Kirby's pencils. I started this months ago but wasn't pleased with how it was going. After drawing a lot of Kirby characters in Marvel Zombies and inking JL Garcia Lopez and Rick Leonardi on JLA I felt more confident about having another go with these inks. Might even try colouring it next, but first back to some paying work...

I'd be surprised if John Morrow doesn't get in touch with you: he's had some great artists inking Kirby pieces as covers for his great JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR magazine over the years. This'd be right up his alley.

I was planning on showing it to him when I've coloured it. I'd love to do a cover for the Jack Kirby Collector.

Mr Netanyahu said the move would honour Mr Trump's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan in March.
Israel seized the Golan from Syria in 1967 and annexed the territory in 1981. The move has not been recognised internationally.
Syria said Mr Trump's decision was "a blatant attack on its sovereignty".
Mr Netanyahu, who has secured a fifth term in office in the recent Israeli elections, has been on a trip to the region with his family for the week-long Passover holiday.
He'll also be receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to President Donald Trump.
"Spoke to Tiger Woods to congratulate him on the great victory he had," Trump tweeted, and "to inform him that because of his incredible Success & Comeback in Sports (Golf) and, more importantly, LIFE, I will be presenting him with the PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM!"
His remarks came a day after education secretary Betsy DeVos was criticised for defending a proposed $17.6m (£13.5m) cut to the organisation, which is designed for disabled children.
The request was included in Mr Trump's $4.75tn federal budget, which was not expected to pass Congress.
Mrs DeVos responded she had pushed for funding "behind the scenes".
"I heard about it this morning. I have overridden my people. We're funding the Special Olympics," Mr Trump said of the world's largest sport organisation for people with intellectual disabilities.
If any number of women are to be believed, and I believe they are, Donald Trump is a sexual predator.
Both Kavanaugh and Trump have denied allegations against them. I wish so deeply that the alleged sexual violence -- and overall cruelty toward those who are vulnerable -- committed by those who wear the mantle of our nation's government began and ended with these two men. It does not. It exists at every level of our national institutions, and even at agencies working on behalf of our government who are tasked with the sacred duty of caring for children.
The Financial Review reported that in his eight years as president, Barack Obama was absent only once, in 2013, when he cancelled his trip to the host, Bali, because of a government shutdown.
The shock announcement was made by senior South Korean officials in Washington, who passed on a letter from the North Korean leader.
They said Mr Kim had also agreed to halt nuclear and missile tests and was "committed to denuclearisation".
It appears to be a major breakthrough after months of threats and violence.
The South Korean delegation had held unprecedented talks with Mr Kim in Pyongyang earlier this week.
In remarks to reporters at a dinner photo opportunity with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy in West Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said when asked if he is a racist, "No, I'm not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed."
The President has drawn sharp criticism since he was reported to have called African countries "shitholes" while discussing immigration with lawmakers Thursday.
The vote was taken during an emergency meeting which was held on Thursday (21/12/2017) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
The vote came after threats by the US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, who said Washington would remember which countries "disrespected" America by voting against it.
"The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the general assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation.
It will focus on long-term explorations and use of the Moon's surface, in partnership with the private sector.
Mr Trump also said the program would lay the foundation for an eventual mission to Mars, although he did not give a date for this.
Correspondents say any realistic effort will probably need Congress to agree to a big funding boost.
There is bipartisan support for further space exploration but parties disagree over the timeline and budget.
"Trump you failed to protect your nation," it read. The post by Akayed Ullah was revealed in charges filed by federal prosecutors on Tuesday.
They say the 27-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant carried out the bombing inspired by the Islamic State group.
He wounded himself and three others in Monday morning's attack.
Mr Ullah is accused of blowing up a crude device strapped to his body in an underpass at Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal during the rush hour.

Since released in May, the director's cut releases of both Gods and Generals and Gettysburg have garnered rave reviews, as the missing pieces of the enormous puzzles were finally put in place and made available to the general public. In many articles, we have read that sales figures for these two films have been good, but just how good, exactly? After browsing on Blu-Ray.Com, which has become a daily read for me, I just happened to scroll down the right side of the page to view the top-sellers for the United States, and lo and behold, there was the Limited Collector's Set of both films that was released in July, sitting at #3 overall (with a total, worldwide sales rank of 23). This definitely came as a pleasant surprise, if not complete shock. This was no mirage or speculation, but actual statistics detailing the success of these two films. The LCS also currently sits at #1 on Blu-Ray.Com's best bargains list, where you can now purchase the massive boxed set, loaded with extra goodies, for only $36.49
This set trails only The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (which is on pre-order since it has not even been released yet) and Moneyball, which came out just last week. With such a diverse group of titles sitting amongst the top 20, it is, in fact, the only historical drama present there, unless you count season one of HBO's Boardwalk Empire as history, which comes in at #11. If you take some time to look at this list, the duo of Gettysburg and Gods and Generals has outsold The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Set (which came out last June) and even the complete Star Wars saga, probably the most hyped-up Blu-Ray release of all-time.
For all those who felt, or still feel, that the Civil War cannot be a moneymaker, they must think again. Granted, theatrical figures have never been impressive for any film of this genre, and the running times of these two made it difficult, but the overall interest is indeed there, and should open up some eyes, hopefully those of producers looking to get in on the action. This begs the question to be asked: is there still hope for The Last Full Measure? Director Ron Maxwell told me himself in July that he works on it frequently and it is not forgotten, but all that hard-work may be for naught without the big bucks. One of the main reasons why we even saw director's cuts of these two films is because DVD (and earlier, VHS) sales had always been enormous. That sentiment, combined with the 150th anniversary of the War, is what led to the two long-awaited releases back in May. Perhaps this is what is needed to get the ball rolling on the final installment of the trilogy. One can hope, right?

Our Clients
Graphic Designers &
Design Studios
With more than a decade of experience managing projects in corporate marketing departments, I'm familair with serving as a "gatekeeper" to graphic designers. My job is to make sure have what you need from your clients when and where you need it so you can keep your design flow going with no interruptions. I'm well-versed in "design speak", I know my way around design software, and I have plenty of experience with brand management, proofing and print production and can also assist with production desgin as needed.
Marketing Agencies
with Remote Teams
When working as the "hub" of a team, my job is to set expectations, budgets, and timelines. I make sure everyone has what they need on hand to complete their tasks. I enjoy setting up or refining systems to streamline processes, allowing everyone do their jobs as efficiently as possible. I serve as the "go-between" ensuring that the client delivers what is needed, when it's needed, and I ensure that team members stay on task. Communcation is key in this role, and I pride myself on making sure the team is informed about project details.
Hi, I'm Lisa!
I began my career in marketing close to 15 years ago as an assistant traffic coordinator.
That particular job was short-term, but it was the start to a long and fulfilling career path!
I've carried what I learned in that role serving as the hub of a busy downtown marketing agency with me in every position I've held since. Whether I was acting as a marketing coordinator on a corporate team, or a traffic manager at an agency, one thing has always been clear...managing marketing projects and creative teams is my jam!
Nothing brings me greater joy than bringing your idea to life ... except maybe the tools, tech, and processes needed to make it happen. I love collaborating with fellow creatives to keep things on track and I enjoy brainstorming to find solutions to challenges.
While my career in marketing has remained fairly consistent over the years, some things have changed. These days I'm passionate about online business, and rather than working for big corporations or hip downtown agencies, I'm focused on using my skills and expertise to provide services to online agency teams, and design studios.
I have extensive experience managing the deadlines, the vendors, the budgets, the tools, and the people that play a role in any marketing project. Let me put my expertise to work for you so you can focus your time and energy on the things only you can do.

Hiring an expert to manage the moving parts of your marketing projects is the best way to grow your business to the next level and beyond.
Imagine how much time you'd get back if you let someone you trusted manage your team and coordinate all the details of your projects. You'd be able to focus on securing new clients, on pitching new ideas, on doing all the things that only YOU can do. You'd be able to enjoy your position as the CEO of a company and get back to living the life you dreamed of when you started your business. (You can finally take a vacation!)
If you're at the stage of your business where you just can't grow on your own, let's chat about how I can lighten the load and help you take your business to new heights. It's time!

the first page February 14, 2015
i wanted to open this beautiful book
with kind words to match the fine paper,
with a prayer or a blessing
something sweet from a beloved honey-bee
but i cannot do so honestly.
God knows the truth in my heart.
i am venom and sting tonight.
you want to know how hard you can squish
before i sting – will you kill me first?–
fool, you do not know i will die
if i try to harm you
and if i do you will never be free
those barbs will hook your flesh forever
my venom shall never leave your veins.
you use big words, compassion and empathy,
you write them, speak them, but they are empty.
in your heart you refuse to hear them
and worse, leave a trail of broken wings behind
your running back without a care.
i cannot find a prayer for you
but only for your victims, Her pain i feel
suffering and tormented by your hands
your words, your feet.

A good father knows… what?
During a random whizz through WordPress.com today I saw a post with the title: A Good Father Knows the Heavenly Father. This post asserts exactly what you'd expect from its title. Apparently, trust in, and reliance on, god is what a man needs to model for his children. We are also told that a man's ultimate triumph as a father comes when his children say, "I serve the god of my father." The thrust then is that god is the perfect role model as a father.
The god we are talking about here is the god of the Bible. You know, the god who asked one of his favourite 'children' to kill his own son and was happy when the guy proved he would do it. The god who got hacked off with his 'children' and killed all but 8 of them in a flood. The god who ordered his 'children' to commit genocides. The god who sent his own son to be killed by his 'children' to atone for their sins; sins which only existed because his eldest 'children' ate an apple once when he didn't want them to.
I'm a father and I suspect that if I did any of this stuff in relation to my child the authorities would be pretty interested. I can only imagine what life is like if your father really is as choleric, intolerant, megalomaniac, homicidal and petulant as god. Unfortunately too many children know exactly what it is like to suffer under the tyranny of fathers like this. It cannot be a good idea to hold up this fictional construct of Bronze Age mythology as a role model for fatherhood. It is simply impossible to trust, or rely on, a father with these characteristics.
So what is the ultimate triumph for a man as a father? To hear a child say, "I serve the god of my father," is no triumph in itself. It is, in fact, more likely to be an abject failure. I would far rather my child said, "I am the best person I can be." If they decide that includes serving a god then so be it, but it must be their decision. A father's job is surely not to produce little carbon-copies of himself, slavishly regurgitating his platitudes. My job as a father is to equip my child to be better than me, to move themself and others forward, to seek knowledge.
I'm not sure it is possible to fully succeed as a father, but it is certainly possible to fail utterly. If god exists, which is very unlikely, then he is a failure as a father. The vast majority of his 'children' don't know him and do not have any relationship with him. Those who do acknowledge him as a father don't understand him and disagree on what he wants.
I do not presume to offer advice to other fathers. I'm still in the middle of doing the job and have no idea if I'm doing it well. I think I am, I hope I am, but only time will tell. I do know I'm doing better than that dysfunctional god though.
What do you think? Any insights you can give into fatherhood or parenthood will be gratefully received.
PJH permalinkMay 19, 2011 19:45
Muddle through are my watch words, bloody things don't come with a manual do they? I think keeping God out of their lives is probably one of the better things we can do as fathers. Like some weirdo boyfriend that appears on your door one day, you know he's wrong for your daughter in so many ways…

I'm having problems attaching a a 2.7mb pdf to my autoresponder email.
I've checked the upload folder file permission and made sure it's set to 0777.
I've tried to upload via IE and Chrome
when I hit save and go back to the autoresponder, the file is not attached.
I did end up working around this by going into FTP and uploading the file to the attachment folder that was created by sendy. I went back to the autoresponder message and the attachment shows up.
I checked your phpinfo and saw that your
upload_max_filesize was set to
2M on your server. You need to increase this value to a larger number (contact your host to help you do so if you're not sure how to edit php.ini to increase the value).
Best regards,

2 of 5 stars.
Included in Extreme Zombies edited by Paula Guran, this tale is not about zombies, it doesn't include zombies–zombies do not exist in the world of this story. Christine Cross is a Story Editor trying to pass off a stolen script as her own to finally get a writing credit to her name. The script is for a television show which depicts the unsure young starlet being used and manipulated by the show director as they set about making a zombie movie. The starlet ends up playing the titular "Queen of the Zombies." Three stories in one: zombie movie plot, television show script on the drama in making of the movie, Chrissie passing the television script off as her own. [Four layers if you picture Etchison telling this story, but I digress.]
The tale alternates between telling Christine's actions with the script as she finds out she may still not get credit for the script and the script itself which includes both the show and the movie within the show. The horror of the movie takes a Twilight Zone-like twist in corrupting the players in the television show. The horror spreads. Meanwhile, the parallelism of what's happening in Chrissie's life with the actions of the script are thrust upon the reader of this not-very-short short story by the alternating lay-out of the story. The horror spreads outward.
Unfortunately, the promising premise falls flat. Chrissie is rife with internal dialogue at the beginning effectively showing her mix of motivations and guilt in her own deceit. The bulk of this story however is given to the climax which lasts longer than most of the tales included in this Guran anthology. The climax unfortunately has far too much of the script left to tell and little action on Chrissie's part. Rather than not continue with the back-and-forth, the story gives equal time to a conversation she's having in which nothing gets said or communicated:
"Excuse me," she said.
"Excuse me," said the person with the pillow. "Are you the one?"
"I hope so," she said . . . [half a page later]. "Come with me," she said. "We have to talk."
[Four pages later]
"It's been such a long, long time," he said at last. "I'd almost given up hope. But you are the one, aren't you? Yes. You are."
"I'm the one," she said.
[Three pages later.]
"Are you the one?" he repeated more forcefully.
"Yes. I mean no." . . .
"But you said you're the one."
This vague Who's-On-First, Waiting-For-Godot conversation takes up a full six pages not including the interspersed horror script. It's more frustrating and infuriating than suspenseful as Chrissie suddenly offers zero internal thoughts to balance out this lack of action.

I can't say I am having much success. So, I am trying to figure out where I am going wrong. I have been doing the seven day diet Jorge posted. And I followed it pretty closely. So, here is my question, if Jorge says don't count calories, how do you know if you over eat? Is that just based on the sugar/carb/fiber amounts? I don't think I ever eat all of any of the amounts.
PS I love your blog. You are an inspiration to alot of folks out there!Stop Eating Sugarhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846269146879759902.post-80338401041242836502010-03-30T15:55:40.900-07:002010-03-30T15:55:40.900-07:00Fantastic news, Volvo NA has agreed to cover 100% ...Fantastic news, Volvo NA has agreed to cover 100% of my transmission costs (apparently it will be $7k!)!

Testing with meta.c (attached)
Test program created numerous files using various file open() flags and truncated each to 10 MiB. The test then wrote a 512-byte block beginning at offset 0 to each file. After a 10-second delay, the next 512-byte block was written, and so forth.
During the testing, both regular file write() and memcpy() to an mmapped file were tested, as well as combinations of fsync(), fdatasync(), and no file sync.
While the test program was running (after 10+ hours), customer initiated their snapshot + backup process. The metadata of the various files (in particular, the 'mtime') was then compared.
The result of the testing indicated that the file open() flags had no bearing on whether mtime was updated. Both fsync() and fdatasync() were confirmed to behave as expected (fsync forced both data write-out and 'mtime' update, while fdatasync() only caused write-out of the data).
When the file was written to through an mmap, fdatasync() was called, and fsync() was not called, the file's 'mtime' was never updated. In these cases, the mtime remained unchanged since the file creation time. File contents appeared to be correct in all cases.
In comparison, when the test program ran on a local ext4 filesystem (with the default data=ordered), the combination of mmap and not calling either fsync() or fdatasync() resulted in files where the 'mtime' would periodically lag behind the write time (and the mtime of the other files), but never by more than 20 seconds. (Note: after running 'sync', all metadata was written to disk, and the maximum mtime difference was less than 10 milliseconds).
It appears that gfs does not update the on-disk mtime in file writes when: an mmap() is used, fdatasync() is called, and fsync() is not called

Here is something I've learned over my travels: many international airports do not have a good magazine collection*. While C and I waited for our eleven hour flight from Nadi, Fiji, to Los Angeles, California the other day, I went to find a magazine to keep me occupied and help to send me off to sleep with visions of haute couture, beautiful homes, and possibly a worthwhile article or two. The only magazines on offer were the thin, nasty, gossip mongering celebrity rags. I am not at all above having a flick through those magazines while I stand in line to buy gum or when waiting for a train, but I don't want to actually buy one. In Nadi, I didn't recognize even one celebrity either as they were all Australian. My kindle had just died so I knew I would have to throw myself at the mercy of Fiji Airways in flight entertainment and hope for sleep.
This small disappointment over magazines was probably the low point of my month-long honeymoon. Suffice it to say, our adventures in Hawaii, Fiji and Vanuatu were completely wonderful.
The South Pacific Islands are as magical as you might imagine. Women in Hawaii do wear hibiscus flowers or frangipani behind their ears. You feel like T-Rex could burst from the jungle on Kauai. We saw humpback whales both from the sea and from above thanks to a helicopter trip. I even had the incredible treat of hearing them–with my naked ears!!–underwater while I was snorkeling.
We stayed on Leleuvia Island just off the east coast of Fiji for a few nights. I have never seen fish like there are in Fijian waters. The colors are electric; blues, yellows and oranges. But even more incredible were the geometric prints on some of them! Perfect straight lines in black and while or blue and orange. Intersecting black and white lines on the butterfly fish that have bright yellow heads and look exactly as if Mondrian had designed them. The coral was the color of a soft sunsets: lavender, light pink and blue. The star fish were bright navy. Our skin turned pink then brown. My freckles all came out with a vengeance, even the ones that line my top lip and make it loos as though I am constantly wearing '90s-style brown lip-liner.
Then we made our way to Vanuatu, a country I hadn't known existed this time last year. Just west of Fiji you will find this group of Islands that have not been discovered by tourists in the way our previous stops had. Granted, the Aussies have known about Vanuatu for a while as it's a mere 5 hour trip from Sydney. But C had the distinct honour of being the first Irishman to stay in two of the resorts we visited.
Vanuatu is quiet and easy to be in. The Ni-Vanuatu people are respectfully curious but not aggressive. We saw fruit bats for sale (for eating), as well as piles of crabs still alive sitting on tables at the market. We marveled at the texture of bread fruit; not unlike a "floury potato", and walked up to, around and down a live volcano. We also did the same up an extinct volcano. The water was like a swimming pool; as clear and as warm. Paradise is the only accurate adjective.
After an epic travel day that included 5 hours in Los Angeles, we are back on our own island. It is distinctly colder. But the sun is shinning (for now) and our skin is still brown (and freckled in my case).
*This also includes Cochin, India, Mumbai, India, Port Vila, Vanuatu, Mexico City, Mexico but NOT Tokyo, Japan. That airport shop is fabulous.

Akhara shocked by Tomar's fall from grace
Rajiv Tomar is nothing less than an icon in wrestling circles, and the pride of the Guru Hanuman Akhara - the wrestling den that still holds pride of place in India despite the founder, Guru Hanuman, passing away more than a decade back. Ajai Masand reports.other Updated: Sep 03, 2010 00:02 IST
Rajiv Tomar is nothing less than an icon in wrestling circles, and the pride of the Guru Hanuman Akhara - the wrestling den that still holds pride of place in India despite the founder, Guru Hanuman, passing away more than a decade back.
On August 29, when Tomar received the highest sporting honour, the Arjuna Award, he added one more trophy to the already overflowing cupboard that lies on the foot of a gigantic portrait of Guru Hanuman.
Wrestlers as young as six, who are left at the door of the akhara to learn the ancient art in mud-pits, look to this senior pros for inspiration.
And Tomar is not just the most decorated grappler at the akhara, he is said to be the most disciplined of pupils of Mahasingh Rao, the Dronacharya Awardee.
With a record 35 Bharat Kesari and Hind Kesari titles, Tomar, the 120kg freestyle grappler, is the cynosure of all other akharas around.
But on Thursday, the mood in the akhara was of disbelief - of how the 29-year-old, who walked into the akhara as a 12-year-old from Mallakpur village in Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh, could do such a thing.
"There is some misunderstanding," Rao told HT. "He had suffered a relapse of cold and cough on July 30 and had gone to a doctor in Kamla Nagar. All the wrestlers go there when they fall sick," said Rao.
"I don't believe he can do such a thing, Tomar has the doctor's prescription, which he had furnished before the trials at Sonepat's Sports Authority of India centre on August 8. We are going to appeal against the positive test," said Rao.
"Tomar has two Commonwealth Championship gold and a silver, has represented the country in the Olympics, has won silver in Olympic qualifiers and bagged grand prix titles all around the world, but has never come under the cloud of dope," said Rao about the grappler, who is a Head TT in the Railways based in Delhi.
"But this is not the end of the world. We will appeal for the 'B' sample test. He is a fighter.
"He came back from a debilitating knee injury, which needed an operation and took two years to heal. So, he will fight and be back in the team."
But for once, the image of the akhara that boasts of more than a dozen Arjuna awardees, has taken a beating.
