I can't remember the last time John and I went out to see a show or a movie at night. If we do go out to eat, it's usually for lunch. We probably wouldn't have gone out last night either, if it wasn't for my generous son, James, who bought us tickets to see Michael Franti. He was performing at a small venue only 40 minutes south of us. James used to work for EMI Music before they were bought by Universal Music and his job was working with the "entertainment." I remember him telling me on several occasions how much he liked working with Michael Franti; he is not your typical spoiled musician. He is a true bodhisattva not only with his music but in his real life.
Franti's performance was acoustic so not all his band members were there; he played for a smaller audience (around 500) and took time out to tell us the story behind each song. Wikipedia describes his band as: Hip hop with a variety of other styles including funk, reggae, jazz, folk, and rock.
His audience was eclectic and I got to do a lot of "people watching," which is another hobby of mine. Usually though there isn't the variety of people like there was last night, so that made the evening extra special. It was a mix of several generations, yuppies and Rastaferi personalities.
I also watched the wait staff who were on the go the whole time. We were in a dinner theatre so food was available to those who wanted it. The servers looked to be in their twenties and thirties. Watching them brought back memories (in case you don't know, I worked in restaurants off and on for twenty years). Everyday was an adventure. I miss it, but even if I was able to physically do the work, I'm considered too old. You don't see many servers over the age of forty anymore and I'm a couple years older than that. Waiting tables is not only hard on the body but it requires good multi-tasking skills… and if you work in a nightclub, you need super sonic hearing. The music was so loud, I couldn't hear anyone talking to me. I don't know how the servers understood what their customers were saying, although decades ago I worked in a loud discotheque (Come to think of it, that's probably why I can't hear so good now).
Franti is heading back east so if you want to see him, click here for ticket info. I highly recommend going.
If you don't know his music watch his video:

Senator Barker has worked for transportation improvements to Northern Virginia's inadequate transportation system for more than two decades. In 2013, he worked hard in both the Senate and the House to get enough votes for Virginia's first major transportation initiative in 27 years. This year, Senator Barker opposed legislation that would prevent Northern Virginia from getting our fair share of transportation funds and that would restrict resources for education and other services. With Northern Virginia population growth averaging more than 40,000 people per year, we must work hard to meet transportation needs. Each year, Senator Barker supports policies that ensure Northern Virginia gets its fair share of transportation funding. He regularly works with state and local transportation groups and agencies to find ways to reduce congestion, improve roads, and keep traffic moving.
Our Economy and Jobs
Senator Barker has a background in economics and is determined to strengthen our economy, our businesses, and bring high quality jobs to Northern Virginia. He, along with Senator Bill Stanley (R-Franklin), received the 2014 Economic Competiveness Award from the Virginia Chamber of Commerce for their effort to develop a "shared work" program that helps both businesses and employees. Senator Barker is currently working on research investment so that our PhDs do not go elsewhere after graduating. He also led a group developing options for increasing medical residencies so our new doctors do not have to go out of state for training, never to return. The State Chamber President said, "With the support of pro-business legislators like Senator Barker, we can continue to improve Virginia's business climate and maintain Virginia's ranking as the Best State for Business."
Senator Barker serves on the Education and Health Committee and sponsors the most education bills in the Senate. He has worked on funding to address class sizes, giving everyone the benefits of full day kindergarten, allowing elementary and middle school students to retake SOL exams they nearly passed, measuring school performance by student growth rather than a snapshot SOL test, getting International. Baccalaureate students the same credit as Advance Placement students, increasing teacher pay that lags far below the national average and making sure Virginia is not ripped off in funding of virtual schooling. Senator Barker will fight to get Northern Virginia schools the funds they are due and never stop working for our children and out future.
Military and Veterans
We all owe more than we will ever know to our veterans and service members. Senator Barker has worked on issues large and small to help ensure they receive the respect, care, and support they deserve. These include building a Veterans Care Center in Prince William, helping non-profit groups giving health and mental health services to veterans, granting tax exemptions for survivors of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, giving those who return from deployments a grace period to get their cars inspected, giving temporary car registrations to those returning from abroad when the military did not have the proper paperwork, and getting veterans, National Guardsmen, and members of the military appropriate in-state tuition.
Senator Barker knows that in order to get things done, we need to work together and put party politics aside. Senator Barker works closely with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get more bills passed than almost any other Senator. He partners with Republican leaders in the district to on common sense legislation that will create long-lasting solutions for all Virginians.
Common Sense Solutions
Senator Barker has led on many common sense issues in Virginia, including allowing Virginians to keep their health insurance plans, prohibiting censorship of the sermons of National Guard chaplains, allowing police to stop people who are texting while driving, giving Virginians a tax refund check rather than a debit card, ensuring those in a mental health crises get emergency care, making sure college students contemplating suicide are contacted and have the support of family and friends, ensuring students who are sexually assaulted get the support they need and help to decide whether to pursue prosecution, providing protection from financial exploitation to elderly persons, holding the line taxes, and putting more money in our Rainy Day Fund.

The pictures coming from Haiti showing hundreds of corpses lying in the street in front of the morgue in Port-au-Prince and the women crying for their children buried in collapsed buildings are cause for great anguish and weeping.
Each of us shudder as we think that I could be standing there and my children and spouse could be dead. We pray, "Dear Lord, have mercy." Death at any age is a horrible thing, a time for weeping.
The young college student killed in an auto accident, a father in his forties struck down by a heart attack, a five-year-old with cancer or a grandmother, all are missed and mourned when death takes them away from us.
Many mourn at this time of year for the nearly 1.2 million infants in this country that die each year by abortion. Jan. 22 is the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade Decision that legalized abortion in the United States. The weeping is done off camera in the quiet of many homes. And many still pray that one day these tiniest of infants will see the light of day and be nurtured by loving fathers and mothers.
There is still more weeping over the most pathetic of all situations. Last year in Wichita, Kansas Scott Roeder shot to death Dr. George Tiller, an abortion doctor in his church. Scott knew that killing tiny infants was wrong, but he was not the one to bring judgment on the offender. His sin was deplorable because he took another person's life. And by so doing he disgraced the cause of all who those who long for the end of abortion and pray for the safety all infants in and out of the womb. We all weep.
At this very time, many are weeping as they consider the possibility that the new health care bill will treat abortion as an acceptable medical procedure whose costs are covered by health insurance. And to further add to the sorrow is the possibility that medical personnel will be required to participate in abortions even against their conscience. I can not put into words how sad this whole situation has become. We treat endangered species with more respect than our own offspring.
But in spite of all this, there are reasons and seasons for joy and laughter. Who doesn't rejoice to see the outpouring of donations for the survivors of the earthquake in Haiti?
Millions around the world are praying for them and volunteering to help. We thank God for those who speak French and Creole who can speak words of comfort for those who mourn. We rejoice for the medical and rescue workers who have been putting in unbelievably long hours to find and save the injured.
Just one year ago this month, millions were rejoicing and still rejoice because Captain Sullenberger and his co-pilot landed his powerless plane safely in the Hudson River. All 155 people aboard were rescued from the icy waters by ferry boats and small crafts. Lives were saved and millions rejoiced.
When we do all that is possible to save and enhance lives it lifts the spirits of everyone. But when we talk about limiting care for the elderly it is depressing. People rejoice for life. I have seven children and I got chocked up with joy and gratitude at the birth of each one of them. We celebrate birthdays to express that joy. I know of no one who celebrates the anniversary of an abortion.
I hope all our laws will respect and support human life in every stage of its development.
Finally, we rejoice for those at Birthright here in Socorro who are encouraging and helping women with "problem pregnancies." Phone 838-2326 or 835-4236 for information.

IATE Term of the Week: Border Security
July 6, 2018 9:30 am
Europe has been a target of terror attacks repeatedly since the early 2000s. European countries have especially had a difficult struggle during the last four to five years. Fortunately, many of the planned attacks could be prevented by locating and capturing the perpetrators. But how are we able to detect covertly planned attacks before they are executed?
This is largely thanks to the security management and the safety measures taken by the European Union. Several units are involved and put their efforts into securing the EU´s external borders as well as the Schengen area. Police forces and the military are supported by agencies such as Europol and Frontex, which are not only responsible for terrorism prevention but also for fighting organised crime such as human trafficking, or for managing migration more effectively. Despite all security activities, the procedures aim to ensure the privilege of free movement of people inside the Schengen area. This conflict represents a challenge for the border guards, who have no background information of the travellers and are therefore unable to decide whether they should deny entry or not.
However, to counter further risks other precautions are envisaged. One of the focal points in this week´s plenary session in Strasbourg was the reinforcement of border security. On Thursday, the new European Travel Information and Authorisation System (Etias) was voted in. This system, which is set to come into force in 2021, will mean that non-EU travellers who are exempt from a visa obligation, will have to get an official authorisation before entering the EU in future. This new regulation will affect more than 60 countries. The authorisation will be requested online, where the applicants will be required to declare their name, their nationality and gender. They will also be asked to provide details about possible health issues and criminal records. The document will cost 7 euros and will be valid for three years; it will be free for minors and seniors over the age of 70. These precautions are intended to filter out visitors who are classified as dangerous to the population of the EU, due to possible epidemic risks for example. Thus, this system intends to increase the security of the member countries.
Here is a screenshot of the IATE entry for border security:

Hey, kids! It's the Botching one with another look into "The Illustrious Future". This is the show I enjoy most each week. Let's get into this one, shall we?
Matt Riddle vs. Punishment Martinez
Who among us though we'd see Punishment Martinez in a WWE ring? Nice "get" for sure! Punishment is quite vicious. I have to hand it to Riddle in there too. He sold like a champ. This wasn't a long match but it did its job. It showed Riddle being legitimately challenged. Ohno's attack on Riddle was perfect too. Ohno was humiliated and Riddle had to pay. Nice story and good match.
Cinéma de Press Conference – Ricochet
The typical press conference thing. When the right person is doing it, the results are pleasurable. Ricochet is the right person. Good stuff.
Humberto Carrillo & Raul Mendoza vs. Forgotten Sons (Steve Cutler & Wesley Blake w/ Jaxson Ryker)
Carrillo was quite the surprise here. Really both Mendoza and Carrillo were. I was expecting a jobber match and didn't get it. This was done really well. Nice back and forth from both teams. For me, Carrillo & Mendoza were the real news here and I hope they'll put Carrillo and Mendoza together more often. They were really fun to watch.
Backstage segment – Velveteen Dream
He snapped and his music came on. He did his interview the way only he could do it, snapped again, and the music went off. Velveteen Dream just…is…and for that, I am grateful. I have nothing else to say and when you see it, you won't either.
Backstage segment – The Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, & Adam Cole)
A promo from just Fish only. He nailed! They all talked. Of course, poor Roderick was the weak link. He got off "The Bore Raiders" but then got off "The Weaky (get it? The Mighty…oh who cares). In spite of Roderick blowing it, this was still a good promo.
Dakota Kai vs. Shayna Baszler (w/ Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir)
If you haven't seen Dakota on UpUpDownDown, you need to. She was an absolute riot. (Here's) the link. You're welcome…😁
Few things are as cringe-y as Shayna's arm manipulation. She's so good at it but it doesn't work if the person she's working with doesn't sell it well. Dakota does that better than most so the cringe was added to even further. The gut wrench superplex that Shayna administered didn't look good for either of them. Still, they both recovered well and the match continued. I was kinda hoping for more from Jessamyn and Marina (they both just kinda stood there without being very animated) but the match was good. Loved seeing Io Shirai come out for the save after the trio decided to do more damage.
Also must give props to CFO$ for Shayna's theme. It's so dark and really effective. You know things are going to get ugly when you hear it and, with Shayna, they do.
Tommaso Ciampa, Aleister Black, & Johnny Gargano
Tommaso is great on the mic and Aleister is was fantastic too. Tommaso is totally responsible for the discord between Gargano & Black. He is the puppet master and it's delicious. He's just egging the whole thing on. We're gonna get Black & Gargano in a steel cage at TakeOver: Phoenix. Further, Ciampa ate Black Mass for making all this happen. Great segment.
Here's the aftershow link for those who'd like to see it:
We caught up with @SuperKingOfBros, The #ForgottenSons, and @QoSBaszler after tonight's #WWENXT… and you'll be glad we kept the cameras rolling. pic.twitter.com/GyKsuJRwli

NXT never lets us down and for that, I am so grateful. Another stellar night of action and storytelling. See you guy next week for another look into "The Illustrious Future".

CNN has partnered with production company Radius to produce an as yet titled film about campus sex crime, said network officials.
The movie will follow the personal struggles of several people working to deal with their trauma related to the issue of sexual assault on college campuses. One in five women is sexually assaulted while in college, according to the Campus Sexual Assault Study of the National Institute of Justice.
Radius will distribute the film theatrically and CNN/U.S. has acquired the broadcast rights to the film, which is scheduled to premiere in 2015. Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering (The Invisible War) will direct and produce the film, according to CNN.

Canadian pot grower CannTrust Holdings on Thursday said that the sale of over half of its stock of cannabis and around a quarter of its plants had been suspended following the discovery of unlicensed cultivation at its facilities.
Regulator Health Canada last month found unlicensed cultivation in five rooms at a CannTrust facility.
Health Canada placed a hold on about 5,200 kilograms (11,500 pounds) of dried cannabis harvested in the rooms, while CannTrust also put a voluntary hold on a further 7,500 kg of cannabis equivalents.
CannTrust on Thursday confirmed its earlier forecast that the value of the impacted inventory and assets was around $51 million.
It warned that if Health Canada ordered the destruction of affected product, its second-quarter results would be materially impacted.
Since the news broke in July, the company has fired its chief executive officer, disclosed a regulatory investigation, and said its results may have to be restated, sending its shares plummeting over 50 per cent. Earlier this week, Health Canada also found issues at another of its facilities.
The company said on Thursday that it had been preparing a remediation plan for Health Canada to consider but so far had had no "substantive discussions" with the regulator.
Ontario-based CannTrust also said that the New York Stock Exchange was monitoring the company's late filing of its second quarter financials.
For now, its shares continue to trade on the NYSE but the stock exchange could begin delisting procedures at any time if it chose, CannTrust said.

Hi Guys,
Need your input on this. Not really sure how to do this, but is there a way to hide the Input Parameters that you supply when you call a Webscreen?
Please see Picture
You could use sessions or if that is not preferred use an encryption plugin extension like 'GenerateSaltedMD5Hash' from the PlatformPaswordUtils. or get one from the forge (I vaguely remember one there called crypto something)
Hi Michael,
The component Eric is refering is CryptoAPI.
Some of the options you have are thease:
And for sure you have a lot more options to secure your data if you are creative.
Marcelo Ferreira wrote:
Marcelo and Eric,
I downloaded the cryptoapi and I am not really sure what to supply on the input parameters on the RSA Encrypt and Decrypt.
Base on my screenshot above, One of the input parameter is LeadId,now which of the two parameter RSA_Encrypt(PublicKey Input Parameter and Plaintext Input Parameter) should I put the LeadId and what should I supply on the other RSA_Encrypt input parameter?
You can approach this on a couple of ways. The one proposes makes it not easy for the developer(s) to debug.
If you take a look at https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component/632/urlencryption/ it might suit your need better. It encrypts the url, only on IIS level, which means the end-user only sees it encrypted, while the debugger works as is..
Furthermore, you do it per module/espace i believe and not per screen, so that makes life also easier.
You should use AES_Decrypt and AES_Encrypt with key set by yourself to start. Or for more advance use you can use the actions of the component to create keys.
You can also try J. suggestion. I will try it for sure.
Hi J.,
Are you sure this component work? I was trying it on my personal environment (version 10) and it doesn't work. Beside that I read the support of the component and it looks like it doesn't work since version 9. Were you able to make it work?
Are you sure this component work? I was trying it on my personal environment (version 10) and it doesn't work. Beside that I read the support of the component and it looks like it doesn't work since version 9. Where you able to make it work?
we have it running on premise, so not sure if it works in personal environments.
I have no clue if we changed some stuff to get it to work.. will ask around
Michael Chu wrote:
You can also change the Method of the "Link / Button" to Submit. This will execute a "Post" as requested method and will send the data in the body of the request. Data is also encrypted since Outsytems ViewState is encrypted.
The most secure way is using the Session but, of course, you will have to manage the session size.
Kind regards,
Miguel Sousa

I used the Submit(to hide the input parameter in the WEBSCREEN) before I change it to Navigate. Not really sure or is it just in my head that i find the submit method a bit slower to get to another WEBSCREEN?
best regards,
J. wrote:
Marcelo and J,
I will consider both options. At this point in time I was just asking around if there is a way because I notice that URL can be tampered with by the User by just changing the input parameter on the screen.
Going back to the Crypto API, I am using version 10(on premise) right now and planning to upgrade to 11 sometime in the future and this is the first time i will implement this if ever.
When you say use AES Encryption and 'Set the Key yourself' how do I do that?
There are 2 parameters in AES Encryption.
1. Cyperkey
2. PrivateText
AES_Encrypt have this 2 inputs:
and as output you will get Ciphertext
@Miguel Submit is not a secure option. I will be able to see the input anyway on browser tools. Beside you run the preparation again of the screen you are in (bad for performance).
Is URLEncryption working at all in OS 10? I installed it but still can't get any result from it.If espace marked as IsEncryptionActive, should action Destination automatically generate a proper url?If not, where should it have affect?

Happy Holidays card 2012
Click the image above to see the animation.
The Happy Holidays card from 2012 was sent out from the office of the president for Stetson University. The recipients were generous donors to the university. The card's design had to be upscale (while on a limited budget) and be appropriate for an audience of varying beliefs. I started by hand drawing the design on old-fashioned paper with pencil. Then I scanned my drawing, used it as a template in the background of Illustrator. The final vector was then imported into Indesign to finish the layout of the card with the inside card message and prepared the files for press. The final card was printed on an #80 cover Neenah linen stock.
The design was also used as an animation in an email marketing campaign. The animation was created with Flash.

B-CU inducts record number of students into honor society
The Bethune-Cookman Chapter of the National Society for Leadership and Success, Sigma Alpha Pi Honor Society, recently held induction ceremonies for more than 160 new inductees. The ceremony took place on campus in Heyn Chapel.
"We are so proud of our new student leaders," said Dr. Paula McKenzie, faculty advisor and associate professor of Communication in the Department of Communication Studies, Theatre and Dance. "This class broke all records. Of the 265 students who joined, more than 160 completed the induction process."
Staff honored too
In addition to students receiving their certificates of achievement, awards were presented to Dr. Hiram Powell, dean of the School of Performing Arts and Communication; the Rev. Kenya Lovell, chaplain; Junell McCall, assistant director of Student Activities and Involvement; Josh Cohen, Center for Information Technology; and Anthony Owens, National Society for Leadership and Success advisor.
"The society gives our students an opportunity to develop leadership skills through special training," said Owens, assistant advisor and instructor/student success coach in the College of Undergraduate Studies.
The society's motto is "We Build Leaders Who Make a Better World." The mission is to help people discover and achieve their goals. It provides a community where like-minded, success-oriented individuals come together and help one another succeed.
Induction process
It offers life-changing lectures from the nation's leading presenters. Fall inductees heard four nationally known speakers, including: Al Roker, NBC News; author John Maxwell; and actors Jesse Eisenberg and John Leguizama.
Each student who attended induction received a certificate, pin and T-shirt. The induction process required students to invest approximately 20 hours in leadership preparation by attending orientation, a leadership training day, three speaker broadcast events, and three success networking team meetings.
The National Society for Leadership and Success, Sigma Alpha Pi, is an honor society for leaders established on the Bethune-Cookman campus in 2009. The chapter has 500 members.

April 19, 2017
Seven Philadelphia public school principals honored Tuesday by the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation will receive a $20,000 stipend to help improve their school community.
Winning the 2017 Lindback Award for Distinguished Principal Leadership were Joanne Beaver, The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts; Simon Hauger, The Workshop School; Christopher Johnson, Science Leadership Academy at Beeber; Guy Lowery, Mayfair Elementary School; Andrew Lukov, Southwark Elementary School; Jeannine Payne, Richard R. Wright Elementary School; and Dr. Crystle Roye-Gill, Thomas Holme Elementary School.
"These award-winning principals represent the best of our best," said Dr. William R. Hite, superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia, said in a statement. "Their leadership and dedication have shaped them into distinguished school leaders who are very deserving of this honor. We are all grateful for their hard work each day, and we are proud to recognize their successes."
Speakers at Tuesday's ceremony at the Prince Theater in Center City included Hite; Mayor Jim Kenney; Frances Wolf, first lady of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; Joyce Wilkerson, chairwoman of the School Reform Commission; and Sheldon Bonovitz, Lindback Foundation trustee.
District principals submitted plans for the funds with their applications. Among the projects: establishing more after-school programs, supporting project-based learning, purchasing Chromebooks, and infusing arts programs with new resources and supplies.
The award is allocated by the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation, and recognizes principals who have made significant leadership and humanitarian contributions to their schools and communities.
The district provided the following background information on the 2017 honorees:
Joanne Beaver has served as principal of CAPA for three years. Under her leadership, attendance has increased while lateness has decreased and academic standards have improved. A lifelong supporter of the arts, she is at home in her school among creative staff and students, who love and respect her.
Simon Hauger has been working in Philadelphia public education for the past 20 years. During that time, his students have won multiple national competitions and were honored by the President at the White House in 2010 and again in 2014. His innovative approach to education is the basis for The Workshop School, which challenges students to solve the world's most pressing problems, and organizes teaching and learning in service of doing so.
Christopher Johnson became the founding principal of Science Leadership Academy at Beeber in 2012. He began working in education as a substitute teacher, and has since worked as an elementary, middle and high school teacher, regional office director, assistant principal, high school principal in Central Office special assignments, and as deputy of Climate, Culture and Safety.
Guy Lowery was born and raised in Philadelphia, and is a 2000 graduate of Northeast High School. He earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees from Temple University. Before serving as principal of Mayfair School, one of the largest schools in Philadelphia, Lowery was a science teacher, special education lead and assistant principal.
Andrew Lukov is a genuine champion of the student, teacher and community. From the first day he walked into Southwark School, his words and actions reflected his intention to create an atmosphere that guides teacher growth, increases student learning and brings the community together. His collaboration with numerous community partners, creation of Southwark's Two-Way Immersion Bilingual Program and middle school elective lasses, and revamping an emotional support program into a model of inclusion are just a few examples of how his actions are transforming Southwark.

As a leading global provider of financial transcription services, we offer an unparalleled service in transcription for one of the most important industries in the world.
What is Financial Transcription?
Finance is a global sector, so the use of accurate financial transcription services is essential to the industry's smooth running. On the surface, financial transcription is simply transcribing spoken words within the finance sector and translating the resulting document into another language, so businesses can easily get accurate information. In practice, this is one of the most complex and difficult areas of translation, and it should only be carried out by experienced professionals.
Transcription differs from interpretation services, as the finished translation is offered in a document, as opposed to interpreted aurally in real time. The document can then be translated into a number of different languages, depending on a business' needs.
Since it's a global industry with a huge impact on the world economy, having expert transcription services in the financial sector is crucial. Using the wrong terminology, or not having a solid understanding of the industry, can result in drastic changes to businesses, and even on the economy as a whole. One misplaced comma or misheard figure changes the nature of an entire document, which is why we pride ourselves on the quality of our work.
Our trained financial transcribers understand how the industry works, and have the experience and knowledge required to ensure there are no mistakes in the end translation, whether we're working with accountants and auditors, or global financiers and banks. We accept sound files in most formats, including CD/DVD, MP3, WAV, WMA, DSS, DS2, M4a, BigHand, and Winscribe, making it easier for you to send your files to us.

When do I need Financial Transcription?
Financial transcription is crucial for a number of different finance professionals, including accountants and auditors, global financiers, and high street advisors. It is useful on many occasions, including after business meetings and surveys, client correspondence, calls/webcasts, analytical reviews, financial reports, and even seminars and training programs. For example, financial transcription services could be used following financial seminars, in order to compile all the vital points into one document, which can then be translated if required.
The Global Voices financial transcription team are experts in the field, with background knowledge in the financial industry, and are experienced in deciphering various accents to accurately transcribe audio files. This high attention to detail is pivotal when working with transcribing financial conferences, which may have multiple nationalities talking over each other. Ensuring that every word is accurately transcribed minimises any miscommunication, which can drastically impact businesses in the financial sector.
Global Voices' expert financial transcribers can also quickly transcribe handwritten notes, reports, and correspondence, and can apply your business' unique house style to the finished document, ready for you to use within your company. We also offer document conversion services, so if you have a PDF document you need reformatting and converted to another file, simply send the document to us, and we can transcribe and reformat it for you.

One thing we love in our home is dips. We dip just about everything we eat, so I'm always trying to come up with flavorful and healthy dips for my family to enjoy. Bonus points if my toddler likes the dip. We eat a lot of Mexican food in my home and although we love our salsa and guacamole I like to switch it up. One of our favorite Tex-Mex restaurants has the most amazing creamy jalapeno cilantro dip. It's so good I could drink it, but it's a bit on the spicy side hence the jalapeno. I've been working on a similar version that is milder to the taste buds but still packs the same punch!
I've tested this recipe with both plain yogurt and Greek yogurt and ultimately my family enjoys the dip the best when I make it with plain yogurt. We even had friends over one evening and they loved the dip and thought it was an avocado ranch dip. They were shocked when they heard the creamy base was made with Stonyfield yogurt. They both said they would have never thought to make a dip out of just yogurt.
To make this dip all you need is a food processor or a high-powered blender. You'll puree 1 cup of the Stonyfield Smooth & Creamy Whole Milk Plain Yogurt with all the spices, fresh herbs, and garlic clove. Once the dip is completely pureed you'll pour it into a large bowl and then carefully hand mix in ½ cup more of the Stonyfield Smooth & Creamy Whole Milk Plain Yogurt. I found that if you simply pureed the 1-1/2 cups together the dip wasn't as thick and more of a soup like texture. By hand mixing in the last half cup it gives you a little bit of a thicker texture. If you're looking for a new Mexican-style dip to serve at your next fiesta I highly suggest you try my recipe for Cilantro Lime Yogurt Dip!

A few days ago, BoomBustBlogger Stuart made the following comments:
I'd be curious to see where you think GNK fits into the mix. They popped up on a screen so I briefly looked at them. Their latest 10Q has a investment in a company called Jinhui. That company trades on the Oslo bors (ticker JIN) and is 54% owned by a Hong Kong company. GNK values their stake at $200 million based on a Sept 2007 stock price. Problem is that JIN has lost about 90% of its value since that time. I don't short stocks so I just eliminated it and moved on. But might be worth a closer look for subscribers, esp if a write down triggers collateral posting requirements under their 2007 credit facility.
On a broader note, this research note [the latest shipping company research note] seemed to rely heavily on the order book to current fleet ratio, which would indicate price will not be rising to prior highs anytime soon. But, how reliable is that number? Shipping co's have been canceling right and left and I expect that trend to accelerate as it becomes clear that China will not miraculously boom during a rest of the world downturn. If few of these cancelled ships are completed, then I would expect the order book to current fleet ratio not to accurately predict future supply. For example, with respect to bulk carriers, the Business Times reported recently that an astounding 30% were placed with "greenfield" yards in China. It would shock me if the majority of those vessels (or even a large portion) ever got built. This makes me think that relying on current order book to predict future supply is not reliable and in fact may be wildly off.
We have looked at Genco Shipping, a carrier of iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other dry bulk cargoes. Following are some of our observations on the company based on preliminary investigations –
- · As of September 2008, Genco's investment in Jinhui stood at $60 mn (short term investments based on NOK 21.70 or US$3.70 and 16 mn shares outstanding) (instead of $200 mn as stated in the comment below). As of September 2008 the investment in JIN represented 3.0% and 7.4% of total assets and shareholders' equity, respectively.
- · Since September 30, 3008 JIN's price had declined 67% in local currency and 73% in USD. Based on JIN's last closing price of $1.0 the value of investment in Jinhui stood at $16 mn representing a loss of $44 mn (representing 5.4% of shareholders' equity) for 4Q2008.
- · To gauge the impact of this loss we have recreated Genco's balance sheet. After adjusting for loss of $44 mn, Genco's BVPS declines to $24.4 from $25.8. The Price-to-book value (after adjusting above loss) is now 0.53x versus 0.50x, previously. Even after adjusting for this loss Genco's P/B is at a discount to its peers' which are trading at an average P/B of 0.58x. (Genco is trading at a discount to its peers based on other valuation multiples as well. Pls refer comp analysis sheet in the attached document)
- · Over the past one month Genco along with its peers have seen a sudden spurt in their share price (ranging from 60-120%) due to anticipation of increase in Baltic dry index. Baltic dry index have increased 12% over the past one month after declining 92% since beginning of 2008. Baltic dry index is currently at 784 (December 23, 2009) versus 8,891 in January 2008.
- · Despite a 92% decline in Baltic dry index, Genco's EBITDA margins are strong at 85% (3Q2008). Also the debt position for company is reasonable with debt-to-assets of 0.56x and debt-to-equity of 1.14x.
- · In addition to this the stock has witnessed a decline of 76% over the past one year (despite a 61% increase over the past one month).

With regards to our latest shipping co. research note we had relied on company's presentation and filings for industry order book. Although we agree with the reader that shipping orders might get cancelled in the near-to-medium term due to financing constraints coupled with excess inventory buildup-vis-à-vis expected increased in oil production (the reason that drove us to build an alternative scenario in the research note), we continue to believe that prices for VLCC and Suezmax vessels have a downward bias owing to two arguments which were highlighted in the report as well
· The current overbook-to-fleet is substantially high with overbook-to-fleet at nearly 50%. Even if 50% of these orders are cancelled the order book-to-fleet would still continue to be at elevated levels (25%) which would cause a substantial increase in supply negatively impacting charter rates.
· Second argument is that even with the existing fleet (assuming there are no additions to the existing fleet) industry is going to have excess capacity due to expected decrease in oil production. OPEC has already announced 4.4 mn barrels per day production cut and is expected to announce further production cuts to bring prices into equilibrium. However with eminent slowdown in developing economies the demand for oil is expected to be subdued. With decline in oil volumes we believe that even the existing fleet could cause excess capacity impact charter rates.
I want to inform readers who have not noticed that I will be on a light posting schedule for the holidays.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Chaunuka, Happy Kwaanza, and happy holdiays and New Years on behalf of the entire team at BoomBustBlog.com.

As an employer when should I permit students to work, in terms of their education levels?
The law is quiet concerning students and work. However, we can classify working students as either children or adults. Presuming that some students (in primary, secondary school and college) are below 18 years, then the law would define them as children (Employment Act, 2007, and the Children Act). Section 56 prohibits of Employment Act allows employment of children from the ages of 13 to 16 years for light work and defines those of 16 to 18 as employable.
For further discussion we look at adult students mainly in colleges and universities.
As an employer should I have job placements for students who have completed different levels of colleges and universities?
Yes. However, apart from the internship programmes, job placements are open for all applicants and not specific to fresh graduates from colleges and universities. Placement of prospective job applicants in an organisation usually depends on the job requirements of the respective organisation.
What basic requirements should an employer consider for placement of graduates into employment?
Most organisations open job placements according to job requirements and qualified applicants are expected to apply. Normally qualifications are in terms of experience/ skills, and other job specifications and behaviours. Applicants are also expected to submit a cover letter, CV and all supporting documents to the organisation. Successful short-listed applicants will be invited for interviews.
Is there any arrangement where students at school can undertake industry attachment programmes?
Yes. Industrial attachment or internship programmes are usually undertaken by students as part of their academic requirements, especially in universities and polytechnics. For example, this programme is well organised in the education sector, and is commonly known as teaching practise.
At the workplace the student would be placed in an appropriate department and given duties and work under a supervisor in that department. At the end of the internship the student would be expected to write a report which is supposed to be signed by the supervisor at the workplace and the institution of learning.
Are there institutions that facilitate graduate employment in Kenya?
Yes. There are institutions like the Public Service Commission and commercial private recruitment agencies.

Fascists Still Want to Kill Jews - Al Qaeda bomb plot
One of the targeted synagogues is a GLBT synagogue, Congregation Or Chadash. It's certainly not the biggest or most prominent synagogue in Chicago, so I wonder how or why it was picked. Did someone in Al Qaeda in Yemen used to live in Chicago? (Anwar al-Awlaki, who is one of the leaders of Al Qaeda in Yemen, is an American and used to live in the Washington area; his side-kick is Samir Khan who is also an American).
Some bizarre articles have come out about this in the Jewish press online already. Lee Smith published an odd one in Tablet whose point I really cannot figure out (it seems to be blaming President Obama for doing something bad - but since all the president has done is to work as hard as possible against this threat, I don't understand what he's done wrong). And the Yeshiva World website headlined their story "Bomb was addressed to Chicago 'Toeiva Synagogue.'" This is an ultra-Orthodox website that apparently cannot bring itself to utter the word "gay." (The word "toeiva" means "abomination"). Disgusting.

The government (and the UK government) now claims that, notwithstanding the mail address on the bombs - what I like to call, labeling the bombs with the word "bomb" -, they were not intended to reach their stated addresses but to blow up in planes. I find such stories difficult to believe but the press has not been asking what, to me, seem like obvious questions.ReplyDelete
Among them, why would someone from Yemen look to conceal a bomb on a plane by basically painting the bomb with a signs that read "bomb" - i.e. the address - on it? How many packages a year go from Yemen to any Jewish institution, much less a not so well known institution? I bet the answer is pretty close to zero, until now.
I would think that the government, looking to stop copy-cat crimes has a vested interest in downplaying the address and making up a story. Then again, maybe the terrorists do not care where the bomb goes off. What a mess.
Or perhaps for the terrorists it was a twofer - if the bombs had blown up in mid-air, then there would have been two spectacularly successful attacks. And if not, and the bombs are found, the Jews are terrorized. I doubt it was an either/or.ReplyDelete

You are certainly making sense.
I note and highly recommend an article from the CIF comment section of today's UK newspaper The Guardian by someone named Martin Rivers. I usually dismiss articles in CIF as more BS than factual but this article was all factual, so far as I can see and it is just terrifying. The most interesting part follows:
"Even when our security apparatus was tipped off about the UPS bomb, even when we were spoon-fed the tracker number of the offending package, and even when our bomb disposal experts stared the device squarely in the eyes, still we gave it the all-clear. That has never happened before. That is a game-changing development in the threat we face."
This is really scary stuff and the authorities may have decided to calm fears in the face of a threat not previously fully appreciated and about which we currently have no sufficient countermeasure. That may be why we keep hearing that the authorities are not sure they stopped all the bombs.

The advent of 5G technology is certain to revolutionise industries right around the world and it will change how people interact and use technology forever. From self-driving cars, to sensors controlling the internet of things – our homes, offices and daily lives will be smarter by the day!
5G technology was heavily featured back at the start of the year at the Mobile World Congress where experts from global leaders and tech companies came together to discuss the latest and most exciting happenings. The sky's the limits and we're only really scraping the surface of what will be possible down the line.
AV Needs and Possibilities Will Increase
Enterprises are taking things to the next level and are putting in place measures that will enable them take full advantage of faster speeds and higher quality video. Upgrades include 1Gb or 10Gb ethernet installations that will be able to transmit 4K signals around facilities.
With 5G technologies, there's the possibility to send 20Gbs of data over mobile connections and this opens up lots of new opportunities – where high-quality video content can be streamed easily.
The Need for Speed
Everybody wants to access the info. they need or content they are interested in – more quickly and one thing that we know for certain is that speeds are going to increase dramatically with 5G.
Faster speeds will allow companies to be less tied down to their physical locations and to take part in video conferencing or participate in collaborative work from anywhere on the planet. This will mean much more flexibility and significant potential to increase productivity.
In a recent article, Ira Brodsky says: "Technologists learned that there are multiple pieces to the telecommuting and remote collaboration puzzles. The networks, end user devices, and applications must all work together to deliver the right user experiences at the right prices."
Large tech companies are planning well ahead for this new future and they have given us a glimpse into some of the possibilities with collaboration and remote working. Microsoft recently gave us a sneak peek into their meeting room of the future that features 360 camera and mics that can detect each person in the meeting along with transcribing what everyone says. Also, they recently announced their Surface Hub 2, expected in 2019, which is packed full of exciting features that can present data faster and more effectively.
When advancements such as these are supported by 5G, next generation AV Solutions will bring remote collaboration to a new exciting level.
Digital Signage – 5G
With super-fast low latency 5G connectivity we could see a whole new level of personalisation as far as digital signage is concerned. Instant facial recognition or a system that can recognise you by your smartphone or piece of wearable tech would then call up personalised videos, images, messages or advertisements based on your social media profile or other online information and give you a unique and personalised experience.
We have to admit this is very cool but a little bit scary at the same time!!!
AV Integration
With the reality of 5G fast approaching, AV integration will play an important part of bringing all the pieces of the puzzle together.
You'll no longer have to look for a connection to find the data you need or to present it to people at a conference or meeting it will literally be at your fingertips.
So, what can you do to prepare your company and make the most of these advancements?
One major challenge will be pro-actively encouraging your employees to use the latest available AV tools. Getting your team on board and fully trained will ensure a return on your investment. Existing technology like video conferencing will be faster and experience far less latency, so the tech will become much more enjoyable to use.
Emerging technologies like AR and VR will become more common place and these are areas that you might want to invest it. Working closely with an AV specialist to find out what's right for your organisation and to find out with will add benefit – and what won't – will be important to make sure you make the right commercial decisions for your business.

…that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.
~~ Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities (1859)
Photo credit: Athena Alexander
Yes, so true! I love to read Dickens. Beautiful photography, Athena.
I love to read Dickens, too, Sharon. Glad you enjoyed the post, and really appreciate your visit today, my friend. Have a lovely weekend…. 😀
You too Jet!
Great Post
Thanks very much, Mukul.
Human natural existence implies complexity hence divinity, HJ Thanks Jet! 🙂
We certainly are a complex species. Thanks so much for your visit and comment, HJ — and have a terrific weekend! 🙂
I haven't read "A Tale of Two Cities" – shame on me, and a London boy too. Maybe one day; Dickens is always a fine read. A lovely quote to go with the delightful photographs. Thanks, Jet, I hope you are having a pleasant MLK day, and you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Adam, I am currently reading "A Tale…" for the second time, just finished it and then started over. It's poignant and brilliant, but one of his darker books. My favorite Dickens is "David Copperfield" (and I have many other favorites of his), so if you're looking to read a great Dickens, maybe try "David C" if you haven't already read it. Thanks so much for your comment and visit today, I always enjoy our exchanges. You, too, have a wonderful weekend.
I so prefer the Falls in Africa to Charles Dickens point of view! Nature naturally uplifts with so much more ease!
People are complicated and complex, but nature is often pure and easy. Thanks so much for stopping by, Val — I hope you have a wonderful and uplifting weekend. 🙂
That is one of my favorite places in Africa! It's magnificent and mysterious…visited those falls five times, and would love to go again 🙂
I visited twice, but in the same season, which was when the water was lower. It was still magnificent, but I've seen photos when the falls were at the fullest (season, non-drought, etc.) and wow, what power! I'm so glad you've had the joy of being there five times, Tiny. Fantastic!
One time when I was not there, the "guys", my hubby and his friends, walked over the falls during "dry" season. Very foolish and dangerous. I learned about it only years later.
I saw a few fools doing that too. ;/ Great to hear from you Tiny, I hope you're enjoying a great weekend, my friend. 🙂
Lovely quote. Surprised it was from Tale of Two Cities. We always learn from you, Jet…
I am happy you liked the post, dear Nan — thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂
i shall keep this
a secret 🙂
…and I will reflect upon that. 😀 Thanks so much David, always a great pleasure. 🙂
Great quote, and those falls have to be absolutely breathtaking in person!
Yes, the Victoria Falls are breathtaking. Thanks so much, Donna, for your comment and visit–appreciated.
Yes, and still we come from the same source, I think anyway.
That is what makes it so wonderful. Thanks so much Bernie — great to have you stop by, as always. 🙂
I'd SO love to see the V Falls. I know I never will, so it's on my 'ghost bucket list' of things I'll never do (climb Everest & win Wimbledon could be there too…). RH
I'm glad you could visit them here, RH. And thanks so much for stopping by~~
Marvelous all the places you have been! Love the Dickens quote. I just finished rereading "Tale of Two Cities" and liked it a whole lot better than when forced to read it in high school! 😀
It's quite a work of art, isn't it Gunta? I just finished it too. We were reading the same book at the same time! Thanks so much~~
That's almost spooky! (reading the same book)
Such a beautiful image. Is there a spot on this planet you and Athena have not visited? I think I'm fighting off wanderlust envy. 🙂
It's such a big world! I'm sure you have found, Sue, there's so much to see, and no matter how much we see, there is still more calling us. Thanks for your visit! 🙂
So true Jet. Even in our home province there is so much we have not yet explored!
😀 😀
That's always been my favorite secret 🙂
It's a good one, Inese…. 🙂
Strong the message conveyed through the timeless and realistic quote,dear Jet!Just a few words that have as much power as the forcefully running water of the beautiful Victoria Falls in Africa.We have to start with our own self first,then try to really know the ones who are dear and near to us,and then we might be able to get to know all those communities of strangers around us.Such a humanistic post,Jet my dear friend.You are a considerate person who empathetically lives near nature and all the living beings 🙂 Enjoy every moment of the new day!Sending you plenty of sunshine ☀ ღ `*o*` ღ ☀
Your very kind words are much appreciated, dearest Doda. We all have so much to learn from one another, loved ones and strangers too. So much I have learned from you, and continue to, and am grateful. Also appreciated all the Greek sunshine you sent, for today it is raining and foggy, and your sunshine, and warm words, brightened my morning. @(♥o♥)@ 😀
A foggy and rainy day?Here,it's almost spring at the moment.All the flowers and birds are a bit confused … Well,for your praiseful words and for appreciating the Greek sunshine,I'm sending you more to warm your day and your heart 🙂 ♥ ☀ ☀ ☀ ♥
And oh, how you just lit up my face, dear Doda. ~~(O*O)~~ Thank you!! ♥♥♥

There are turning points in everyone's life that remain vividly clear long after they occur. I'll always remember the precise moment I decided to apply myself and learn how to take better pictures. I was passionate about spending time outdoors, and loved the act of taking photos. Yet, after picking up my film from the lab, the images did not come anywhere close to matching what I had envisioned. While this failure was exasperating, it was the catalyst for taking things to the next level.
Fast forward ten plus years and I've learned how the occasional misstep is not only necessary, but essential to artistic growth. They force you to take personal inventory, find what you need to move forward and reach your goals.
I've spent these years searching for the perfect image. On a few occasions, I have even came close. Yet there's always one nagging aspect of a frame that irks me. Maybe the depth of field was a little too shallow, or the sky wasn't as ideal as I would have liked. "Next time" I think, it'll be just right. And so it goes, the ongoing pursuit of the elusive flawless image. Call me a hopeless optimist, but I believe it's still out there waiting to be captured. The craft of photography can be humbling like that.
The more I learn about photography, the more I realize how much more there is to know. This is one of the things that makes it a worthwhile endeavour. It challenges me to work harder everyday, get better, and study new techniques and technology. The web is certainly a great resource but I find something more serendipitous about the photography section in a bookstore or library. To spend a few hours reading and looking at photos can fill your inspiration bank in a hurry.
"Wow, the perfect picture!" reads a comment on my Facebook page. It's funny how art is subjective like that. You can look at other people's photos and think they've achieved perfection, but rarely give your own work the same credit. I know I've been guilty of this. I'm learning though that it's more productive to only compare yourself with yourself. Do you see improvement over this years captures compared to those from last year? How about five years ago?
There is no overnight success in any artistic medium. Anyone who achieves success does so by showing up each and every day and putting in the work. Without mistakes, perfection wouldn't exist. As Victor Kiam said, "Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward."
Every day holds the potential for a spectacular image. This is what springs me from bed early each morning. Whatever you decide to do today will have an effect on tomorrow. Whether or not you achieve perfection is subjective. The important thing is that you have the courage and ambition to try.

GOP presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump tells Greta Van Susteren of Fox News that the United States wouldn't benefit from granting President Obama fast track trade authority through the TPA.
The Senate is scheduled to hold a key procedural vote on Trade Promotion Authority on Tuesday.
"We have to take the jobs away from other countries that are making our product, they're taking our money, and they are in fact taking our jobs," Trump said.
"That trade pact is a disaster for jobs in our country," Trump added. "We should not have it … The fact is Obama is not a negotiator."
"The last person I want negotiating for me is President Obama," Trump concluded.
Trump also announced he's officially filed his papers to run for president with the FEC.

The Fort Myers Miracle have joined other Minor League Baseball teams across America to raise money for Vs. Cancer, the signature fundraising campaign of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
The Miracle will host Vs. Cancer Night today, Aug. 9, at Hammond Stadium to generate support for pediatric brain tumor research as well as family support and child life programs. Fans can donate at the ballpark and purchase raffle tickets for baseballs autographed by former, current and future MLB ballplayers. Sport Clips also will be on hand offering haircuts in exchange for donations.
Minor league teams have turned the Vs. Cancer fundraiser into a competition, allowing donors to offer online contributions on behalf of their favorite Single-A, Double-A or Triple-A baseball team. Several Miracle players also have created their own accounts and are soliciting donations from fans.
"The Miracle gladly partner with a variety of charitable organizations in their fundraising initiatives, and the Vs. Cancer movement is critically important to help children who are battling brain cancer," said Chris Peters, president and general manager of the Fort Myers Miracle. "Although we're hoping to generate the most donations among all minor league teams, the key is raising as much money collectively as we can to help the Foundation."
To donate to the Miracle's Vs. Cancer campaign, please visit Team.CureThe Kids.org/team/233684.
