The House and the Senate have agreed to spare the knife on nearly all the items in the Pentagon's $9 billion information technology budget request for fiscal 1996, while throwing in close to $100 million in unrequested funds for good measure.
In their final conference report on the 1996 Defense appropriations bill, the two houses of Congress bucked the prevailing budget-cutting trend and stuck by the generous tone set this summer during authorization and appropriations negotiations.
The conference report was rejected by the House Sept. 29 for reasons unrelated to the IT funds. It cannot become law until Congress and the White House work out their budget differences. A stopgap resolution will keep the government operating until Nov. 15.
Though the overall bill could change significantly before then, congressional sources said it is unlikely that the comparatively small IT budget items would change at all.
Confirming a retreat from proposals to outsource data processing activities performed by the Defense Information Systems Agency's 16 megacenters, the conference report endorsed a House requirement that DOD's comptroller provide a detailed economic feasibility analysis of such proposals.
The conferees also urged DOD "to look to franchising for these and other similar [data processing] services from other federal agencies that already provide similar, cost-effective services." Specifically, the budget panel urged DOD "to initiate a prototype for using the National Finance Center cross-servicing functions, in conjunction with existing DFAS [Defense Finance and Accounting Service] and private operations in the area."
The one significant fiscal rebuke for IT in the conference report was directed, ironically, at the Joint Logistics Systems Center, which had been nominated for a $100 million increase by the House Appropriations Committee [GCN, July 31, Page 1]. In its report, that committee had lauded JLSC for demonstrating "the proven payoffs of modern systems approaches to logistics automation" and for generating "dramatic savings in dollars."
The conferees appear to have attended a very different JLSC progress briefing. Alluding to long-standing reports that JLSC is hobbled by mismanagement and skimpy support from the Pentagon, the conferees flatly rejected the increase and instead froze half of JLSC's existing budget "until the secretary of Defense has taken appropriate action to correct JLSC's organizational deficiencies and has designated the Air Force as the executive agency for the JLSC."
"JLSC is not properly organized to accomplish the redesign of the Department of Defense's logistics systems," the conferees reported, citing a September report by the House Appropriations Committee's surveys and investigations staff. The conferees instructed the secretary to provide a plan for improving JLSC's "management, technical, contracting and acquisition support" activities.
The conference committee increased procurement funds for the Army's Reserve Component Automation System (RCAS) by $25 million, bringing the total to $108 million. Congress justified the extra money by predicting an end to the administrative logjam that has kept deliveries on RCAS to a trickle for four years.
"For the first time in the RCAS program's history," the report said, "there now appears to be a general consensus between the active Army, the National Guard, the Army Reserve, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Congress on [the future of RCAS] based on the restructure proposed by the chief of the National Guard Bureau."
That restructuring, announced last spring, would allow RCAS to evolve from the minicomputer and dumb-terminal architecture proposed by contractor Boeing Co. in 1991 to an open-systems architecture running mostly commercial software on PCs connected by standard LANs [GCN, May 15, Page 8].
A spokesman for the National Guard Bureau said details of the restructured architecture would not be released until the appropriations bill is signed. Under the 12-year, $1.6 billion RCAS contract, Boeing is expected to provide secure network links and a variety of administrative applications for some 60,000 Army reserve users across the United States.
The conferees also approved an unrequested $18 million increase for the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System and endorsed DOD plans to use that system to develop "the core capabilities required to support joint requirements for the objective DOD field-level data collection personnel system."

This is the first in a two-part series by Schneider All-Star Lucas Karcher. Since joining Schneider back in 2012, Lucas has been a shining example of continued career progress. Read more about his incredible journey in his All-Star profile. In part one of his series, he'll share what he wishes he knew as a new driver. In part two, he'll describe life as a Schneider All-Star, including a story about the difference he made in someone's life.
Being a new truck driver in the industry comes with its own set of unique challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. I first discovered this when I climbed into the cab of a Schneider Tanker truck in 2012. In addition to traveling through 48 states and six Canadian provinces, I've learned quite a bit along the way. My leaders and trainers taught me the skills and knowledge I needed to be a safe and successful driver. When I was a trainer, I got to experience the other side of the coin.
Here are a few tips for new drivers looking to find their way in this complex and exciting industry:
Develop a Good Relationship with Your DBL
A driver business leader (DBL) is a unique position at Schneider that serves as a driver advocate to help and support drivers when issues arise, whether it's pay or they need to get home for any reason. I knew I could always count on my DBLs and felt confident that help was just a phone call away. They educated me on the industry and showed me how to maximize my time out on the road to get the best paycheck possible.
Communication really is key when it comes to developing a strong working relationship with your DBL. Speak to them openly and proactively to create a good, respectful rapport. Call just to check in and provide status updates. Be the driver who gets things done without spills or accidents. Always bring possible solutions in the case of issues or questions. In a nutshell, be the driver they look forward to talking to.
Keep Your Cool
When I first got on the road, I was not the most patient driver in the Schneider fleet. When time on the road directly affects your paycheck, it's hard not to feel like every moment you're on hold waiting for your DBL is taking money out of your pocket. Sitting and waiting on the phone is frustrating.
The truth is, the DBL has about 20 other drivers who could all be calling at the same time with issues. My recommendation to new drivers is to be patient. Your DBL is there for you, doing what they can to take care of you and other drivers.
Your Trainer Has Your Best Interest at Heart
Every week I had the opportunity to tell new Schneider drivers in training that they are the most important members of Schneider. Without them, we wouldn't be here. We rely on drivers to deliver exceptional customer service, and they rely on the training staff to give them the tools they need to be successful. It's a team effort.
I think the training group catches grief for being sticklers about doing everything by the book, but it's easy for drivers to develop less than strong habits. When I was a trainer, I called people out for small things like facial hair growth and wearing the wrong shoes. It's not that we want to bust chops – we want to keep our drivers safe.
I've learned as a driver that sometimes you need to do and say things you don't necessarily want to, but it's required in that role to maintain our core value of Safety First and Always. That's why Schneider has the best training in the industry.
Looking for a change?
Thinking about becoming a new driver or making the switch to Schneider but not sure where to start? Check out the various career paths Schneider offers.

Short-term, Low Carb Diet better than Low Fat Diet for Weight Loss, say Experts
Weight loss is a top New Year resolution and many individuals are enrolling in the weight loss programs offered by leading NY healthcare centers. Dietary guidance is an important part of these programs, but you should also know what experts are saying about the diet you should follow to lose weight.
Medical News Today recently reported that Mayo Clinic physicians say that a low-carb diet could be better than a low-fat diet for weight loss in the short-term. Their advice is based on a review of 41 trials that measured the impact of low-carb diets on weight loss, which showed that participants who followed a low-carb diet lost between 2.5-9 more pounds than those who followed a low-fat diet. The goal of the review was to find out if low-carb diets are safe and effective for weight loss, and heart and metabolic health.
Typically, the foods for a low-carb diet would include proteins such as meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some nonstarchy vegetables. A low-carb diet would mean excluding or limiting most grains, legumes, fruits, breads, sweets, pastas and starchy vegetables, and possibly even nuts and seeds. Some low-carb diet plans allow limited quantities of certain fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Though the studies had varying definitions of what constitutes a low-carb diet, they showed that compared with other diets, low-carb diets promoted weight loss without adverse effects on blood pressure, glucose, and cholesterol.
The Mayo Clinic physicians recommend that those looking to lose weight eat "real foods" – natural foods that are not a product of industry. Regardless of the diet followed, people should avoid highly processed items including processed meats such as bacon, sausage, deli meats, hot dogs, and ham. They also caution that patients considering a low-carb diet should be told there is very little evidence about its long-term safety and effectiveness.
Regardless of the diet you are considering, it's important that you consult a physician before starting out. If you live in New York, Health Quest can help with your weight problems. Our multispecialty center offers auriculotherapy, a stress-free weight loss modality that addresses the root cause of obesity – appetite. This painless therapy involves electrical stimulation of the reflex points of the ear which works to suppress cravings and control appetite. Nutritional evaluation is also part of our program.
To learn about the special discounts available for our weight loss program through the end of January, call 718-769-2521!

Our analyst Sam Larner returns to Planet Rugby and this week he touches on England's impressive defensive form and Georgia's backline woes.
Before the World Cup I thought I would leave you with a bit of a pick and mix of some trends and interesting stuff I saw in the final set of games before teams pack up and head out to Japan.
We'll start in Newcastle where England dominated Italy after a slow start.
One of the most impressive parts of the game for England was their 11th minute 24 phase defence which ended with Italy centre Tommaso Benvenuti dropping the ball five metres out. There has been some unusual discussions, which aren't backed up by fact, since Wales won the Six Nations. Wales needed the three Grand Slam bonus points and a remarkable Scottish comeback to win the 2019 Six Nations. For many that was an unsatisfactory ending. Of course the rules of the competition state that if you win all five games you win the tournament. If you win those games 5-0 or 45-44, it doesn't matter. Wales chose the first approach, an exceptionally stout defence and fairly unadventurous attack. That approach has been generally derided since, with pundits claiming boatloads of points is the way forward. The truth is that a solid defence is always a positive thing and England showed that they are peaking defensively just when it matters last Friday.
First, the bad. These phases happened because England made a defensive error and allowed a clean break. What will be concerning is that this happened on the second phase. Italy got a small maul going from the lineout and then peeled out the back. A quick recycle trapped English forwards on the wrong side of the ruck and as they realigned they couldn't keep connected.
Sebastian Negri simply straightens up and runs into Jamie George and Owen Farrell. They both go high but neither can stop Negri from freeing his hands and popping the ball out to Carlo Canna. The reason why Canna has such a big lane to run through is because the defence is not connected to one another.
After those early errors, things got much better for England. Mark Wilson was particularly dominant defensively. In this example you can see how he hits low to break-up the potential Italian two-man drive. Italy spent pretty much all 24 phases within five metres of the English line but they couldn't break through.
One of the keys for attacking so close to the opposition line is that you should always have an overlap. The short carry is such a threat that teams pack their defenders tight around the ruck and largely neglect the wide areas. When attacking teams put a few quick carries together the defence can find themselves all tightly packed and then just a couple of passes result in a try. Here Dan Cole counter rucks and draws three further Italian players into the ruck. Italy then have six in the ruck while England have committed just one. The wide open spaces are no longer there for Italy.
When the ball finally does come out wide, England don't find themselves with a single player defending a whole ranch of space. When the Scarlets won the PRO14 they did it, in large part, by stealing balls in the tackle by ripping it from the attacker. It is hard to know whether this is a mistake by Jonny May where he goes too high or a deliberate attempt to rip the ball. When he does go high though May sees that Benvenuti is holding the ball in one hand and May rips it out to end the attack.
England made a mistake in letting Canna launch Italy to just five metres from the line. However, they bent but didn't break and Italy ended up wasting 24 phases. In the next 70 minutes the Italians failed to add any points. During the four games England played in the warm-ups they didn't concede more than 20 points once. If they can replicate that at the real thing they might find themselves playing seven matches in Japan.
There has been a lot of talk about Georgia heading to the Six Nations. I believe that they are currently a large stride below England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France and a step behind Italy. This World Cup will decide whether their burgeoning reputation grows or stutters. They need to be competitive against Wales and Australia and pick up wins against Fiji and Uruguay. If they leave this World Cup with only a single win there will be less incentive for Tier One teams to play them.
Unfortunately, Georgia are suffering from a complete absence of backs. Nowhere was that more apparent than during their Friday night trip to Murrayfield. At half-time Georgia were losing 10-9 as they let Scotland make mistakes and then kicked the penalties they gained through their scrum. It wasn't a particularly exciting game plan but it kept them in the match. That was until the second half when Scotland stopped making mistakes and Georgia started playing a much more expansive game plan.
When Georgia decided to go wide they gained some yardage but they also struggled to keep hold of the ball. Georgia won just 92 percent of their rucks. That meant they consistently piled pressure on themselves close to their own line. In this example they lost the ball when they carried it out wide and Scotland scored just a couple of phases later.
It can be tempting to think that Georgia's lack of attacking back play is a decision but I disagree. I think it's a much more fundamental issue; lack of skill. This is uncharacteristically Georgian play, they choose to chip the ball over the defence just five metres from their own line. You have to get the ball around 10-15 metres forward to land in that spot where no Scottish players are. You then need to trust that the bounce goes in your favour. Fly-half Tedo Abzhandadze can't do that and Peter Horne just turns around and walks it in.
Combine that lack of attacking play with some suspect and simple defensive errors and Georgia look like their progress has stalled. In two games against Scotland, games which they would have expected to be competitive and maybe even grab a win in Tbilisi, they scored a single try and just 19 points. We know what their forwards can do, the real question is what the backs can pull out of their box of tricks.
Short takes
– Japan will need to ensure they keep their first choice hooker, Shota Horie, fit. Not only does he fill the Dane Coles role of hooker turned wing he also nails the lineout. Atsushi Sakate started against South Africa and lost two of his first three lineouts and only just grabbed the missing one after a communication error. Japan don't need to dominate the set-piece, but it does need to be serviceable to get them attacking ball.
– Uruguay have spent the summer losing at home to Spain, narrowly beating a South American XV at home, beating Brazil comfortably and losing to an Argentinian XV. Success for them is not conceding 100 points against Australia or Wales and keeping within 25 points of both Georgia and Fiji. A good World Cup for their 22-year-old lock Manuel Leindekar from Oyonnax would also bring them some much needed attention. We are a number of years from them really competing, in the way Samoa or Tonga say, do at the World Cup.

GOP Tax Bill Becomes Law
By: Matthew Issent
Republicans in Congress passed tax reform into law just before the Christmas holiday. President Trump signed the 'Tax Cuts and Jobs Act' into law on December 22nd before leaving for vacation in Mar-a-Lago. The tax legislation makes major changes to individual and corporate tax rates, as well as changes to deductions and credits. It includes a number of other provisions not directly related to taxation. Here's a survey over what's included in the final plan:
Individual Tax Cuts
Tax cuts for individuals expire after 2025. Standard deduction for individuals will be doubled from $6,350 to $12,000 and for married couples from $12,700 to $24,000.
SALT (State and Local Tax) Deductions are now capped at $10,000. The SALT deduction was one of 6 deductions in place since the original income tax code became law in 1917. The capping of SALT deductions will impact states like California, New York, and New Jersey especially hard.
Although 88 percent of SALT benefits go to those with incomes in excess of $100K, the end of the deduction may negatively impact small business GOP Tax Bill Becomes Law owners and folks who live in high-cost cities like Los Angeles or New York City.
The Childcare tax deduction has been doubled to $2,000 per child, with a refundable limit that hits $1,400. The refundable portion will allow some families to reduce their tax obligation to zero and even receive money back when taxes are filed.
Corporate Tax Cuts
Corporate tax cuts are permanent, dropping from 35 percent to 21 percent. Business income that is filed by individuals (called passthrough businesses) will be able to deduct 20 percent of their qualified business income.
Shareholders are expected to benefit from the tax legislation in the form of shareholder payouts. Savings under the tax plan, according to a survey of 300 US Corporations, will be used to pay down debt, repurchase stocks, and invest in mergers.
The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) for corporations is permanently repealed in the tax plan. The Corporate AMT is set up to ensure that Corporations pay at least some income tax.
Also included is a one-time repatriation tax of "8 percent on illiquid assets and 15.5 percent on cash and cash equivalents for about $2.6 trillion in U.S. business profits now held overseas." The provisions of the tax bill are expected to make incentives to store profits overseas obsolete.
The carried interest loophole is kept in place, allowing for a lower capital gains tax rate for investors that hold on to investments for more than three years. The prior limit was one year, but the change will still allow many investors to avoid the full brunt of the capital gains tax.
Other changes
The Individual Mandate for Health insurance is repealed beginning in 2019. The repeal of the individual mandate is expected to increase healthcare premiums by 10 percent and 13 million Americans are expected to lose Healthcare by 2025.
Environmental provisions in the tax plan include the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) being opened for oil drilling. Renewable energy tax credits for wind, solar, and electric cars were preserved in the tax plan, despite moves in both House and Senate legislation to roll them back.
"This reform preserves a key form of finance for wind and solar projects, but creates uncertainty going forward by forcing annual calculations to see if the 80 percent threshold is hit by multinational tax equity financiers," wrote Charles Hernick, from the Atlantic Council.
The estate tax will now exempt estates worth $10 million or less, up from $5 million. A number of Republicans hoped for outright repeal of the estate tax, but this was not included in any version of the tax bill passed through the Congress this year.
Like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) before it, this legislation was passed on part lines and by using the reconciliation process. Republicans have worked for years to repeal provisions of the ACA, it's to be expected that Democrats will work in the future to make changes to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The diary of Connecticut POW Robert Kellogg indicates that it was raining the day my great-great-grandfather, William Davies, arrived at Andersonville Prison.
Kellogg had already been there for a month, enduring the Georgia heat of mid- to late May of 1864 in the open-air stockade. His only protection from the weather was a shelter he and ten comrades had constructed:
For the small sum of two dollars in [Federal] greenbacks we purchased eight small saplings…These we bent and made fast in the ground and covering them with our blankets, made a tent with an oval roof, about 13 feet long.
They had to lie on the bare ground, with no other covering, but they felt the shelter from weather was more important.
On June 1, it began to rain and continued for three weeks, Kellogg wrote.
As I stood in the holding pen between the outer and inner doors of the prison's reconstructed North Gate, I tried to imagine how Davies felt as he stood in the rain on June 21, 1864, crushed against the other Union soldiers, waiting for his first sight of the inside of the camp.
Had rumors about Andersonville reached him? Did he know what to expect? Certainly he could hear the shouts of arguing men and the moans of the dying. He could smell the reek of the "sinks", or latrine, which backed up into the swamp that bordered the prison's only water source at the time, a three-foot-wide stream.
Kellogg described what he saw when the inner doors swung open: men who were "mere walking skeletons, covered with filth and vermin." One of his friends wondered, "Can this be Hell?"
I walked through the gate and out onto the treeless hillside, covered with brown grass on this February morning. The land sloped gently down to the stream that crossed the camp from west to east, its banks no longer swampy due to extensive drainage ditches. Another hillside rose from the other side of the stream to the white markers that traced the outline of the former stockade.
Several photos were taken of the camp in 1864 by A. J. Riddle, who was documenting prisons for the Confederate government. I tried to superimpose those pictures over the bleak, blank landscape before me. I imagined the land teeming with men, over 1000 inhabitants per acre, some men with shelters and some without.
The shelters reconstructed in a corner of the prison site are disturbing to look at. Most of them are lean-to's or crude tents, narrow and low to the ground, barely big enough to cover a man lying down with his legs curled up.
I hope Davies did not have to rely on such a structure for shelter. Perhaps, like Kellogg, he lived with a group of friends.
In spring of 1863, his diary mentioned "the Welsh Squad," a group from Company A, consisting of "T. Humphrey, myself, John Jones, S. Gales and Evan Evans," all of them Welsh immigrants. Jones died of pneumonia that fall. Davies, Gales, and Evans, along with Ohio native Wakeman Bell, shared a tent at a camp outside of Memphis in the spring of 1864. All four of these men are listed in the database of Andersonville prisoners at the POW museum.
None of the 19 captives from Company A perished in the prison. It helped that they were only imprisoned for three months, unlike men who were transferred to Andersonville from other prisons. But maybe the comradeship of the Welsh Squad helped them survive.

The reported economic output of China's provinces exceeded the national figure by US$1 trillion (RMB6.06 trillion), or 10.7%, in 2013, Bloomberg reported on Monday, citing data published by local governments since December. This gap stood at 11% in 2012. Last year's narrowing of the gap between the national statistics and the provincial total, for the first time in six years, suggests that regional officials are heeding directives from President Xi Jinping and his team to shift their attention toward more sustainable expansion, including reducing debt and pollution. Communist Party leaders have vowed to reduce the focus on growth in evaluating local officials.

- "She remembers what she's been taught. She likes to chase butterflies and leaves blowing in the streets, but that doesn't mean she hasn't always known her work."
- —Phelan Rapp referring to Achoo[src]
Achoo Curlypaws was a scent hound of the Provost's Guard of Corus at the Jane Street kennel. She was one of the best hounds of the Guard at that time, but was treated badly by her handler after Phelan Rapp had to let her go. In 247 HE, Rebakah Cooper became her handler and Achoo accompanied her to Port Caynn, where the hound successfully tracked down Pearl Skinner, a coin counterfeiter and leader of the Rogue of Port Caynn. Three years later, Achoo helped in the rescue of the kidnapped and enslaved young prince, Gareth of Conté.
Achoo was born around 245 HE[1]. Her first handler was Phelan Rapp. He also trained her and taught her the necessary commands. For this Phelan used his own, somewhat mangled dialect of Kyprish. Thus there is no risk that Achoo would hear any of her commands from passersby.[2] The hound was happy with Phelan, who even allowed her to sleep in his rooms instead of the kennels.
Abuse and rescue
After Phelan left the Provost's Guard in early May of 246 HE, Achoo was passed on to different handlers and not all of them treated her well. They had no patience with Achoo and all of them insisted on Achoo being kenneled along with the other hounds. She had at least one litter of puppies, perhaps even two, but one of her later handlers decided he didn't want her to have more puppies and had etched the sign of the closed womb in her collar[3].
The hound even came to fame in Port Caynn. The local guardsmen had borrowed her to sniff out dreamrose smugglers in 246 HE[1].
In September of 247 HE, Ercole Hempstead was Achoo's handler. By then she was skinny and frightened.[4] Pounce and Beka witnessed Hempstead mistreating Achoo one morning. After some initial hesitation on Beka's side--Ercole was a senior guardsman--Pounce convinced her to step in. Hempstead, who didn't have any more patience with Beka than he had with Achoo, dumped Achoo on Beka. Koramin Ingensra treated Achoo's injuries while Pounce reassured her that she would fare better with Beka. Ahuda gave her approval to Beka being Achoo's new handler the next day. Beka was the dog's first female handler[5].
Physical description
Achoo was a mongrel of medium height with tight-curled amber coloured fur - although it is nearer to white when long. She had brown eyes[2]and was described as button-eyed.[6] Her normal weight was about thirty pounds. However, Beka estimated that Achoo weighed no more than twenty pounds when she took over as Achoo's handler. At that time her fur was also matted and Achoo half starved.[7] She had welts all over her body and her ribs showed.[8] When Beka got Achoo from Hempstead Achoo also had fleas and ticks.[9] After some time with Beka, Achoo regained her normal weight[10]- although she still had scars remaining from her past mistreatement.
Achoo's breed is never specifically mentioned, however, she may be modelled after a Wheaton Terrier, English Cocker Spaniel or an Otterhound.
Personaltiy and traits
Achoo tends to be quite silly when there is no work to be done and likes to sniff at things. However, she is one of the best scent-hounds.[7] She got her name from her habit of sneezing once she got the scent.[11] When the scent is particularly strong she sneezes more than once, up to three times. Her good training is not only shown in her work but also in her other behavior. Thus she knows she musn't do her business indoors and even goes to the next gutter to do it, instead of just using the courtyard.[12] She doesn't listen to anyone but only to her handler. Even when others know the proper commands Achoo won't do as they say and she is confused when other people than her current handler use her commands.[13] Since scent-hound needed to run long distances Achoo, too, liked running and had no problems in keeping up with galopping horses.[14]
Before she met Pounce in the end of April of 246 HE she ran from five cats because one had clawed at her nose. She doesn't mind Pounce though and when Beka becomes Achoo's new handler in 247 HE Pounce soothes her.[6] Achoo also hates mules[15] .
When Beka took over as Achoo's handler the hound was afraid of her own leash (because it was used to hurt her by another handler) normally an important tool in her work.[8]
Achoo shows devotion to her scent hound work by whining when Beka, for what ever reason, is unable to continue the job or cannot allow Achoo to continue. For example when tide waters are too high, or Beka is tired and can't keep up.
Achoo made a short appearance in Terrier, when she helped find the murderer of Esseny the Lily on April 15, 246 HE. The hound appears a second time in this novel when Phelan brings her along on one of their breakfast meetings. She plays a much greater part in Bloodhound, when Beka became her handler and Achoo helped her bring down Pearl Skinner.
Tamora Pierces new addition to the series, Mastiff, is the most important in Achoo's work as a provost scent hound. Achoo has been given the job of finding an important noble child who has gone missing.

MIAMISBURG-- A local construction company is now the second in the U.S. allowed permission to fly commercial drones. Danis Buliding Construction is a large commercial builder in Southwest Ohio.
For Danis, drone approval means better safety for workers, and money savings for clients.
For the public, it means the drones will be seen at construction sites around the region.
Danis applied for FAA exemption in October 2014, and was approved to fly in April 2015.
The drone model they use allows for about an hour of flight time, and according to FAA regulations, flight paths up to 500 feet in the air.
The man piloting Danis' drone has 9 years flying experience, having spent 9 years on covert helicopter missions with the United States Marines.
"A lot of the capabilities you see here are the same capabilities you see in military drones," said Rob Mauro, the drone's pilot, also an engineer for Danis.
Danis' drone is strictly for visual prototyping use, and is only flown at the request and knowledge of the client.
"I think at first there's going to be a little bit of a taking back because there's some privacy issues," said Aaron Phillips, Danis' Director of Virtual Design and Construction,"You know... 'What's that drone doing above me- what's it taking pictures of'."
Danis says they will use the drone as a simple, cost effective way to get clients a better look at the construction progress.
It was recently used at Dayton Children's Hospital as they started a new construction project.
"We can get our drone flight up there, take pictures for inspections, or to visually confirm something has been installed, installed correctly," Phillips said.
"Logistics costs the client money," he continued, "Where these drones are really inexpensive at this point in time."
Danis says another big draw of using drones; keeping workers off big equipment and safe on the ground.
"We're really focused on not putting our people up in the air on lifts and cranes," Phillips said, "To view potentially hard to reach areas."
The proposal Danis wrote to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to gain drone approval was recently used in a congressional debate on allowing commercial drones into national airspace.
It is likely their model of use will be a model for companies seeking future approval.

For Immediate Release
Wayne Bank Offers CardValet for Improved Debit Card Control
Honesdale, PA – Wayne Bank is pleased to introduce CardValet®, a mobile card management application that helps reduce fraud by allowing cardholders to monitor accounts with their smartphone and control how, when and where their debit card is used.
CardValet was developed in partnership with Fiserv and is available in the Apple® App Store or Google® Play. Once CardValet is set up, cardholders have the ability to "turn off" their card when not in use, establish transaction spending limits and decline a transaction when the amount exceeds a predefined threshold.
Real-time smartphone alerts can be customized based on the types of information each cardholder would like to receive. For example, a cardholder can set up an alert to be notified when a card is used, when a transaction is approved and exceeds any of the permitted use policies, or when a card transaction has been attempted but has been declined based on the parameters established.
CardValet offers cardholders the capability of linking additional accounts to better monitor dependent spending. For example, by using the GPS system in their smart phone, geographic use restrictions can be established for college students along with restrictions on merchant type and spending limits.
CardValet is also ideal for small businesses. All transactions can be monitored or controlled for specific merchant categories, such as travel, restaurants or entertainment, and can be denied or reported for types of merchants deemed not business-related.
"CardValet is ideal for users who want to actively manage their cards. CardValet's inventive and thoughtful approach to card management makes the user experience as easy as possible," said JoAnn Fuller, Vice President and Deposit and Loan Operations Manager. "We are excited to offer this tool to our cardholders! Not only is CardValet user-friendly and convenient, but it will aid in our continued efforts to prevent fraud and identity theft for our cardholders."Wayne Bank is a subsidiary of Norwood Financial Corp., Member FDIC, and is located in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The Bank has 15 Community Offices in Wayne, Lackawanna, Pike and Monroe Counties with Commercial Lenders easily accessible within each of those counties. Norwood also recently announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement to acquire Delaware Bancshares, Inc., and its subsidiary, NBDC Bank of Walton, NY. Pending approval, the transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016. NBDC operates twelve offices located throughout Delaware and Sullivan Counties, NY. The stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol— NWFL.

Sue Matthews Has a Way With Watercolor
The Alameda artist works from photos to detail boats, watery reflections, lagoons, and portraits that she then paints.
Photo by Lance Yamamoto
When Sue Matthews paints with watercolor, she captures scenes from her immediate environment: boats and watery reflections, lagoons and bay scenes, and portraits of family and friends. Working from the art studio in her home on Bay Farm Island, she creates vivid and colorful works on paper.
When she begins her painting, Matthews works from her own photographs, detailing the subject by drawing it onto watercolor paper before ever dipping her brush into paint or taking a brushstroke. Painting is a meditative process for her, and when she is fully engaged, three intense hours of studio work can feel as brief as 10 short minutes, she said.
Matthews is self-taught artist whose earliest work included drawing studies of natural objects —flora and fauna in her childhood. Born in Wisconsin, she spent her formative years in Clayton. She started out as a biology major at UC Berkeley but finished with a degree in life sciences from California State University, East Bay. After earning a teaching credential at San Francisco State University, she took up residence in the Sierra foothills as a teacher for the Sly Park Environmental Education Center in Pollock Pines, a science camp run by the Sacramento County Office of Education.
"I was one of 11 credentialed teachers teaching fifth- and sixth-graders who came up to the foothills by bus from Sacramento Valley schools," Matthews said. "The program started in the early 1970s and still continues today."
In her 30s and 40s, Matthews earned continuing education credits in teaching at the UC Point Reyes Field Station by taking classes in natural history and drawing that also further develop her artistic talent. Retiring after 30 years of teaching, she returned to the Bay Area and began to focus more intensely on her art. When she discovered a class at the Frank Bette Center for the Arts nine years ago, she allowed her drawings to segue into watercolor, which brought added vibrancy to her images. She remains a student and member of the FBCA, and she has become an award-winning member of the California Watercolor Association.
"Georgia O'Keefe was an early influence," Matthews said. "I am also influenced by local watercolorists Margaret Fago and Pablo Villacana-Lara."
Matthews recently exhibited her work at the Delta Gallery in Brentwood and Eyewise Optometry, a FBCA satellite gallery at the Nob Hill Shopping Center.
"I am flattered if my images remind people of somewhere they would like to be," she said.

Naromi Annual Meeting
Date: 7/12/2019
Time: 6:30 PM -
Location: Mauweehoo Lake Clubhouse
On Friday, July 12 at 6:30 PM, Naromi Land Trust will hold its Annual Meeting at the Lake Mauweehoo Clubhouse. Bring the family, enjoy refreshments and hear from our keynote speaker, Eileen Fielding, PhD. Dr. Fielding is the Director of Audubon Sharon (a National Audubon Center) and Team Leader for Audubon's Healthy Forest Initiative in CT, which Naromi's West Briggs Hill Preserve has just joined! The Annual Meeting is free and open to the public.
Dr. Fielding will present on "The Birds in Your Woods: Who, Why, and How to Help Them". Do you know whether your preserved woodland is supporting the species that you want it to? Forest wildlife communities change over time, as the forest matures and ages. Many of Connecticut's forest bird species are in decline, but could be helped by proactive measures that we can do. This talk introduces a variety of forest birds, and describes forest management techniques that can benefit not only the birds, but other wildlife and the forest itself.
The evening will include a short business meeting. The Clubhouse at Lake Mauweehoo is the intersection of Route 37 South and Leach Hollow Road. Contact Naromi's office at 860-354-0260 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

AML failings have led the FCA to prohibit a bank MLRO from performing compliance oversight and money laundering-related functions at regulated firms and levy a £17,900 fine.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found acute and systemic weaknesses affected most levels of Sonali Bank (UK) Limited's anti-money laundering (AML) control and governance structures. Linked to this, the FCA considers the bank's money laundering reporting officer (MLRO), Steven Smith, breached the Statements of Principle 6 (exercise due skill, care and diligence) as he failed to:
- exercise due skill, care and diligence in managing the business of the firm;
- demonstrate competence and capability.
Additionally, the FCA said he was knowingly concerned with the firm's breach of Principle 3 (organise the business responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management).
From the Final Notice, we can see the FCA expects the MLRO to:
- explain AML resourcing requirements to senior leadership and take timely and effective steps to recruit resources for the firm;
- embed a robust, well-resourced, money laundering reporting function and act as an effective person in the MLRO role;
- provide relevant and accurate management information about the effectiveness of AML systems and controls;
- provide specific training for and monitoring of staff compliance; not place excessive reliance on the general training provided to staff as a means of ensuring that staff understand their duties;
- challenge risk indicators (e.g. low levels of suspicious activity reports); and
- process interrogation must be sufficient to identify serious compliance failures (e.g. levels of customer due diligence).
The FCA accepted that Mr Smith was not well supported by senior management. However, the FCA insists that in such cases an MLRO can take still steps to address AML compliance: document and report concerns to senior management; escalate concerns to the board, risk and audit committees and external auditors; take expert advice; effectively utilise annual MLRO reports; and report to the FCA (e.g. whistleblowing).
FCA requirements
The FCA's final notice states that: "The role of the MLRO is a vital one in any regulated firm. The implementation of adequate AML systems and controls requires an MLRO who takes a robust approach, ensures that AML responsibilities are understood at all levels of the organisation, has sound knowledge of the controls, ensures that regular testing and monitoring is carried out, and escalates concerns appropriately to senior management."
The FCA identified a wide range failings (see sections 4 and 5 of the Final Notice) and as such MLROs and senior managers with compliance responsibilities are advised to use these as the basis of a review of how they fulfil their job specification and AML requirements. The FCA's fine and ban against this individual is clearly intended to be a deterrent. As this Final Notice indicates, failure to heed warnings from the regulator will count as an aggravating factor when assessing sanctions (see paragraph 6.12 in the Final Notice).

After Roughly planning and designing the content for the video I now have a better idea of what type of techniques I will need to carry out to achieve the desired affect. After a little research these links and video bare similarities to the techniques I will be using myself.
Splash Photography Technique – http://www.learnmyShot.com
DIY Studio Silhouettes – www.thatnikonguy.com
This Video I've added with the scene including the human fractal elements, the circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems. With the initial idea of using an artist's manikin this set would prove informative. However it is a little long.
Time lapse photography: how to shoot stunning sequences without any hassle – www.digitalcameraworld.com
A lot of the photography I will be carrying out will be in the form of time-lapse photography. Having only a little experience around this area of photography, this article has informed me further giving me a greater understanding of the technique.
Photoshop Montaging Techniques – www.designinsrtuct.com
A significant amount of montaging will be carried out using Photoshop CS5. This article explains, a lot better than I could many of the tools and techniques that I use in the montaging techniques I often adopt in my work. I have chose this article because it uses paint splatters in the tutorial, which is a content with properties very close to my own.
Abstract photo ideas: get creative with oil and water – www.digitalcameraworld.com
As I have already create works including the photograph of ink dispersion in water, I am eager to experiment, taking the idea further. Along with shooting multiple series using different lighting setups, temperatures of water, marbling and surface inks, U.V inks, using an O.H.P, different textures are also an path I would like to explore further. This article has given me a good Starting point.
Here are some scans of rough lighting set ups I have sketched. Apologies for the poor quality, they have lifted from my tiny note pad I carry round for ideas. I Almost didn't include them they are of such poor quality.

Ever have those experiences in your life where you want to tell a friend you are praying for them but you know that 1,000,000 other people are saying the same thing. Something like this....
"I'm praying for you"
"Covering you in Prayer"
"Believing God for your family"
"Know and Believe God is taking care of your situation"
All of those phrases are to let someone in need know that you are praying for them. All well meaning and all truthful. All amazing and all helpful. However, sometimes it seems that in those times, you are just joining in with the crowd. Like it isn't a big deal that you are praying since the 1,000,000 others are already praying.
How stupid is that? God is HUGE and he doesn't just want 1,000,000 praying for one family, he wants the 1,000,001 people praying for them. Even if many people are praying for a situation, God still listens to the one. He doesn't need fancy words, he just needs something simple and genuine.
Thank you for your provision and your love. Thank you for your grace and goodness. Thank you for being in control of ALL situations. Thank you that even when we have NO idea what's going on, that you do. Thank you that when we don't know what to pray or how to pray, you hear our hearts. Take care of the Moody's this week. Continue to show yourself faithful to them. We love you!

There is a verse that comes to mind. James 5:16 :) You are so true. One prayer is powerful enough cause that's how amazingly almighty and omnipotent our Father is :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for this :)
Lets keep encouraging each other :)
It's such a reassurance just to be able to chat to God about our worries isn't it? Thanks for the reminder to keep on praying. :)ReplyDelete
