The Commitment to Effective 911 Community Engagement
Rowlett, TX is committed to executing a top-tier 911 community engagement strategy using outreach methods that address the core needs of the community while ensuring 911 telecommunicators and police forces are trained in the techniques and cultural competency.
A small bedroom community just east of Dallas, TX, Rowlett is focused on customer service and providing the best value to the taxpayers for their dollars. That's why we implemented the Rave Alert mass notification system.
"The best thing since sliced cheese"
Several years ago, I was introduced to Smart911, a service that allows residents to create Safety Profiles to provide additional information to 9-1-1. Being at an agency where almost 90% of our calls were wireless, I thought the concept behind Smart911 was the best thing since sliced cheese! Imagine being able to answer a wireless 9-1-1 call and have the caller's information, including home address, prior health conditions, and even pictures…what a novel idea! What I didn't know at the time was that Rave Mobile Safety was just launching an emergency notification solution for state and local agencies.
More Functionality for 911
About a year after we publicly launched Smart911, I attended my first Rave User Summit where I learned about Rave Alert another product in Rave's arsenal of public safety tools. Because I still had two more years to go on my other ENS contract, I was unable to do anything at the time but inquire about the product. However, I learned everything I could over the next few months, requested some enhancements, and when it was time, I switched mass notification systems.
Saving Time with 911 Community Engagement
When I proposed to the City leaders that we change systems (again), they could only be described as panic-stricken. Their biggest question was WHY. I explained to them that Smart911 and Rave Alert utilized the same database, so citizens would only have to sign up one time to register for both services. One of the problems I had had in the past was that it took too long to register for both Smart911 and the ENS, so the citizens would choose not to register for either. We agreed to switch mass notification systems in part because Rave Alert solved that issue with one sign-up portal.
Getting the Word Out
When I switched to Rave Alert, Rave helped me load my list of opt-in citizens. This function allowed me to send an email with the Rave Alert registration link to residents encouraging them to sign up for the new system. Residents were able to register for Smart911 and Rave Alert simultaneously, increasing the number of registrants.
In addition to the emails that went out, I also conducted community awareness and public education sessions. Rave Mobile Safety provides marketing materials for every special occasion (such as Fire Prevention Week), as well as for everyday marketing (such as videos, social graphics, flyers). I scheduled a time to speak to various groups including The Chamber of Commerce, the Senior Citizens group, schools, and crime watch groups where I handed out printed materials that were available on Rave's website. We have also utilized National Night Out, a community police awareness-raising event, to host a table with information printed from their marketing resource portal.
Training and Ease of Use
Once we had the system configured, I went through the video training for using the system. The video took me through every step of sending the different types of messages in a few hours. After I completed the training, I sent the link to the telecommunicators. I gave them a deadline for doing the training and practicing in the system before we went live. The day the system went live, one of the telecommunicators (who had been on vacation) was asked to send an alert. She had not seen the training video yet, but the system was so intuitive, she was able to log in and easily send the message. Score!!
Severe Weather Alerting
Another great feature of the system is the automatic weather alerting. When tornado season hits, we generally don't have time to send out all the notifications ahead of time. Since Rave partners with the National Weather Service, we have been able to do business as usual without having to worry about sending out notifications to tell residents to dive and take cover.
When Time is Critical
One of our best uses to date occurred very recently when we had a home invasion in which two of the suspects were shot by the homeowner. All four suspects were armed and on the run, with helicopters and officers searching with spotlights in surrounding neighborhoods. Our ability to quickly notify those neighborhoods to stay inside and lock all the doors more than likely saved someone's life.
Routine Messaging for Non-emergency Communications
The Rowlett, TX 911 community engagement strategy leverages Rave Alert for far more than just emergency communications. Besides the usual public safety notifications about spraying the city for mosquitos, we use it for overtime alerts, fire marshal notifications for structure fires, and even neighborhood potluck parties.
Switching Your ENS
Switching mass notification vendors is never easy. However, Rave's training, easy-to-use platform, integration with the National Weather Service, and unlimited messages ensured we can keep our residents informed and safe.

Toughest Characters On Avatar: The Last Airbender
The Top Ten
Really? The blind girl? Put her in sand or in water, let's see how hard she'll try to stand still! I don't deny her toughness when she's standing over Earth, but if everyone was on their element, no one could beat Aang. But, yeah, she's quite toph. I mean tough. - keyson
My names Toph, because it sounds like Tough! - t-man
The only reason Toph wasn't the one to defeat the Fire Lord is because the creators didn't want the finale to go for 2 seconds.
Toph will whoop anyone's butt.
No matter how evil, insane, or downright unstable she was, she had a tough exterior and a relatively stable mind for about half the series. If this is about physical toughness and not overall toughness, she takes the cake.
She's a tough cookie
She's tough, though she still sucks. Forever good side character.
Fan, I mean fan.
Ever seen her when she's angry? - vega_pride
He took rocks to the gut, waves, ice, air currents, two lightning bolts, starvation, swimming in arctic water at night during the winter, an explosion, nearly drowning, exhaustion, dehydration, assassins, and a fireball to the face, and walked it all off. He's shattered iron, wood, and steel with kicks and punches, has managed wall runs, acrobatics, the splits, and twenty-foot jumps like it was nothing. He's endured his father's and sister's abuse since he was born, his mother's disappearance since he was nine, being banished and hunting the Avatar since he was thirteen, and was forced to rule his country from the age of sixteen on up, and made it out not only sane, but as one of the most good-hearted people in the entire franchise. He's physically tougher and stronger than anyone on this list and mentally stronger than even his sister, who driven insane from the same pressure he had to endure.
How is he not #1?
Anyone who can take rocks to the gut and keep walking is good in my book
He isn't all that but he's tough. - vega_pride
He's the best
Don't know how to spell her name but she is like an assassin! - vega_pride
Stood up to Azula like a boss
I thought they changed his name to Combustion Man.
This guy makes every man feel really out of shape and he was able to "shoot fire from his brain", as Sokka stated.
By the way he is the most intriguing person ever in cartoon existence with just as much character development as Zuzu.
Duh, guys are you forgetting he is the god damn Avatar. When he is in the avatar state then none can beat him, forgot when he whopped Fire Lord Ozai's Ass.
HOLD ON. just cause Aang's the happy go lucky positive one doesn't mean he isn't tough. he should be number one, HE IS THE AVATAR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! he defeated "the biggest baddest man" in the series
Should be number 1! Sure Toph may look tough but Aang has been through much more than any one in the series. He is ahead of Katara too. Look how much he suffered, he lost everything, and the fact that he has to fight the most powerful person in the world. He has been through all of that yet he chooses not to be a whiny bitch like Katara. #Respect - Chico123
He is definitely the toughest. Remember when he was working out in the prison.
He broke out of prison all by himself without firebending (remember, the eclipse). He should be higher.
People who've suffered are definitely the toughest. - keycha1n
She's tougher rhan Ty Lee, put her higher up please.
The Contenders
Jet's been through a lot, even when he knew that he was going to die he stayed strong for everyone else rip jet
I'm sorry, Jet is just a horrible character in my opinion.
Jet's been through a lot, even when he knew that he was going to die he stayed strong for everyone else. R.I.P. Jet
He's been through a lot and stuff, but that changes nothing. Worst character in the ATLA show 3rd worst in the ATLA universe behind Ikki and Kuvira.
He can destroy almost all benders,
he can be great if he stops bloughing
Sokka went through a lot, and grew from a messy boy to an funny Men.
Even if he's not a bender he did everything he can to protect Katara and the others.
And remember that when he would have had a chance,he had no problem to kill ozai instead of aang. (or the melonlord ) Ps sry for my bad english.
He can take people's bending away permenantly, something nobody but the fracking AVATAR could do. - RoseWeasley

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal Victoria Newman's (Amelia Heinle) health will take a turn for the worst after she is in a tragic car accident during the week of October 9. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) worries that his daughter isn't getting the best care possible. He considers bringing back a fan favorite to treat Victoria's brain injury. Will Dr. Simon Neville (Michael E. Knight) come back for a short stint to cure Victoria's medical problem?
According to Soap Central, Victoria will get into a horrific car accident and will be rushed to the hospital. At first, the details surrounding her car crash aren't known. It appeared she could have lost control of the car or was drinking and driving. However, the Young and the Restless spoilers state that the doctor realizes that Victoria is suffering from a brain issue of some type. They aren't sure what is wrong, but acknowledge that something isn't quite right.
Young and the Restless spoilers indicate that Victor isn't happy with the care Victoria is receiving and suggests they call in a specialist. He states that money is no object, as he is prepared to pay the doctor whatever it costs. At first, the hospital staff assures the Newman family that Victoria's doctors are doing everything they can to save her. However, Victor isn't convinced and considers bringing in a specialist he knows can handle her care.
Today on Y&R, Victoria points the finger at Phyllis while Graham plots revenge. WATCH FULL EPISODE: https://t.co/xq6LxDxDP8 #YR pic.twitter.com/O2KrBNOEPb— Young and Restless (@YandR_CBS) September 28, 2017
Young and the Restless spoilers reveal that Victor considers contacting Dr. Simon Neville to take over Victoria's care. Just two years ago, Neville told Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) he was leaving Genoa City after Hilary (Mishael Morgan) started getting worse after he treated her. He left town but vowed to stay in contact with Ashley. Victor would know how to get in contact with Simon and ask him to see his daughter to determine if he can help her. Of course, there are few details regarding the validity of Neville's medical license, but Victor can fix that quickly, if needed. If Simon can help Victoria, the Mustache will make sure he has hospital privileges and a valid medical license.
Would you like to see Michael E. Knight return as Dr. Simon Neville to find a cure for Victoria?
The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.

Many people keep God at a distance because they think they are unworthy or undeserving of Him. Come on, have you seen the rest of us? We're all a mess! But we're His mess and there is nothing He enjoys more than jumping into the chaos of our lives and helping us make sense of it all. At what point would we be "good enough"? No one knows us better than He does and there is nothing more amazing than seeing Him take our weaknesses and turn them into our greatest strengths. Our efforts to fix ourselves will always fall short if we leave Him out of the process.

Well its that time of year again folks. I had to hurry with my chores yesterday because at 12: noon it was time for college football. If you remember I like to watch the football games.
The Cumberland Gap Campground here is really getting crowded. We have been coming here for at least ten years and have never seen this many campers. I guess with the National Parks celebrating the 100th year might be the reason.
Yesterday Nancy fixed us a good supper having pork chops, baked potato, green beans and a salad.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Sharpshooting sophomore leads Iowa to upset of seventh-seeded Cincinnati.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Chuck Driesell was walking out of his fourth grade PE class on Friday afternoon at the Maret School when the texts started. Then came the phone calls.
"They were all the same," he said, laughing. "'Your guy just scored 20 for Iowa and they WON.' I only wish I could have watched the game."
Driesell's guy is Iowa sophomore Luka Garza, who played for him for two years at Maret. Iowa, a 10th-seed, upset seventh-seeded Cincinnati, 79-72, in a first round South regional game here and Garza had as much to do with the comeback victory as any of the Hawkeyes.
In addition to his 20 points and seven rebounds, Garza hit two of the more critical baskets of the game. The first came early. Cincinnati was on a 14-0 run and had jumped to an 18-5 lead.
Nationwide Arena was almost deafening, the overwhelmingly pro-Cincinnati crowd starting to make plans for a Sunday game against second-seeded Tennessee.
Out of a TV timeout, Iowa went inside to the 6-foot-11-inch Garza and he squeezed between two Bearcats to score. That stopped the bleeding. By halftime, the margin was down to 36-31.
In the second half, with the size of the deficit the same -- 52-47 - Coach Fran McCaffery called an inbounds play for Garza that required him to catch the inbounds pass and shoot from the corner.
"Normally I call that play for somebody else," McCaffery said. "But I called it for Luka this time."
McCaffery grinned. "Because I knew he'd make it."
He did, cutting the margin to 52-50. A moment later, Connor McCaffery, the coach's son, hit a 3 to make it 53-52, Iowa's first lead since 5-4.
"We knew he could shoot," Cincinnati Coach Mick Cronin said of Garza. "I think we were more concerned about him in the low post because he's very tough to guard down there. But we'd seen that he could make 3s, too."
It was Garza's ability to shoot that first got McCaffery's attention. Garza was playing in an AAU Tournament in Atlanta in the summer between his sophomore and junior years at Maret.
McCaffery was there even though it was a dead period for recruiting, because Connor's team was playing and, as a father, he was allowed to attend the event.
"Right away you could see he could shoot," McCaffery said. "Back then, he was kind of a wide body -- he's really changed since then, slimmed down a lot -- but the shooting caught my eye."
Soon after, McCaffery saw him again, at an event in St. Louis, and told his coaches, "I want him."
There wasn't that much competition at that point. In December, Lefty Driesell, father of Chuck, came to watch Maret in a Christmas tournament played in Lewes, Delaware.
"He sat in the front row," Chuck remembered. "When the game was over, he said, 'that kid's a pro. He's almost 7-feet tall and he can shoot.'"
Lefty Driesell contacted the coach at his alma mater -- Duke's Mike Krzyzewski -- and the coach at the school where he coached for 17 seasons -- Maryland's Mark Turgeon -- to tell them to take a look at Garza.
Both did. Neither made an offer.
Garza lost about 25 pounds as a high school senior and averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds for Maret. He began to draw a lot of attention, mostly from mid-majors. It didn't matter.
"As soon as Coach Fran offered me, I knew that was where I was going to play," Garza said. "I was sold from the start."
Which is good news for Iowa.
"I told them he could play," Driesell said Thursday afternoon. "I mean, I wasn't tryin' to tell them he was great, that he was a one-and-done or anything, but he can play. And he just keeps getting better."
Garza became a starter this season and was averaging 12.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game entering Friday. He has all the requisite big man skills: good hands, quick feet and the ability to score around the basket. And, as the Driesells and McCaffery will tell you, he can shoot.
"We've got complete confidence in him when he has the ball in his hands," said Iowa senior Nicholas Baer. "He never takes a bad shot, but he's a confident shooter. You saw that today."
Garza grew up in Reston, Virginia, although his family moved to Arlington, Virginia, his senior year to make the commute to Maret a little less taxing. He's an upbeat kid, which isn't surprising given that his father Frank, who played in college at Idaho, is a motivational speaker.
"Even when we got down early, we were still all communicating," he said with a wide smile. "We knew there was plenty of time left and we'd start making shots. We had to make some adjustments, especially on defense, and we did. We've got a lot of guys who can shoot the ball, so we knew the ball was going to start going in sooner or later."
In fact, Iowa shot 11 of 22 from three-point range (Garza was two of three), with six players making at least one.
"We knew they could hurt us from the 3-point line, so we wanted to get to them out there," Cronin said. "But Garza was consistently tough for us to guard inside."
Garza laughed when the subject of the Lefty came up.
"I love him," he said. "I learned so much from him. Chuck would get him on video-chat with me all the time and he'd tell me what I needed to work on or give me drills to work on. He encouraged me constantly. Without actually playing for him, I could see why he was a Hall of Fame coach."
The affection between Garza and the Driesells is mutual.
"I love that kid and not just because he's talented," Chuck said. "I have never worked with a player with a better work ethic than he has. He's relentless. In our championship game against Gonzaga two years ago, he took a fall and had to get 12 stitches. Came right back in and ended up with 32 points. We lost the game. Monday, he was in the gym working. That's the kind of kid he is."
Garza is not yet a great passer ("That's my fault," Chuck Driesell said. "I told him, you touch the ball, you shoot."), but he will no doubt improve as he faces more and more double-teams inside the next two years. With only Baer graduating among Iowa's top nine players, his team could spend a fair amount of time in the spotlight next season.
For now, the Hawkeyes are 23-11 and on to play Tennessee on Sunday.
"This whole experience is so cool," Garza said as a half-dozen microphones were thrust in his face in the Iowa locker room "I'm so proud of everyone in this room."
And they're proud of him. So are the Driesells. "I told everyone he could play," Lefty said. "Maybe now, they'll know I was right."

A headache is a symptom which is often associated with many illnesses. Headaches can also come as a result of over-working and general fatigue. This illness has various treatments including herbal medications and prescription drugs. Tea is one of the major stimulants that have been used to quench headaches. It is a key remedy to relieving headaches and fatigue. This paper highlights a simple test done at home to verify the effect of tea on fatigue and headaches (Ell, 2011).
After a long week of hard work that culminated with mid-term exams, headaches were inevitable. I had a severe headache for a couple of hours by the time I reached home. After taking water to relieve my thirst, I remember the cup of tea that my dad always takes after work. According to his theory, tea is a stimulant which has remarkable results within a short while. I decided to try this theory.
Type of Informal Research Method Used
I prepared a concentrated cup of tea and took it while relaxing at the couch. I did not realize how I slept off the couch, but I woke up two hours later. My headache was gone and I felt less exhausted. After taking supper, I took another cup of tea then retired to bed. To my amazement, I woke up strong and sober (Chapman, 2012).
Two days later, I advised this remedy to my classmate. We took the same tea after school while working on term papers. He later called to inform me of the remarkable improvement he had noticed, because he was able to finish his assignments at home without sleeping at the table. In order to verify this at home, I measured the same amount of tea used previously and made another cup for my father. I made a point of asking him of any changes the following day, which he proved the theory to be true.
How is this Research Method Similar to Psychologist's Research Methods?
This method can be compared to an experimental design used by psychologists. The method has both dependent and independent variables. Although this method did not include a placebo, it can be likened to a case study based on previous experiences of using painkillers (Sanders, 2009).
What can be Changed when Given another Opportunity?
Such a study can be well-designed in order to establish a better conclusion. In this case, another opportunity will be the best to develop a strong team of participants with a suitable placebo to study the effect of tea as a way of treating fatigue and relieving headaches.

No! Altredo is a working and 100% legit.
And of course we have a lot haters.
These are morons, sitting on mammy's lap, using a pirated version of Altredo binary option and forex trading system (pirated version won't work since the license is not activated on our end). Also, those haters are so called signal provider or home trader with $20 bucks in the bank account. Unsuccessful people (the mentioned groups above never will be successful) looking all time for something to blame except their own mistakes and childish behavior.

We can assure you that Altredo is real and legit.

Season the pork ribs with salt and pepper and cut them. Chop the sauerkraut, squeeze the juice from it and mix it with salt, pepper, paprika and savory to taste.
In a deep pot, arrange layers of the sauerkraut and ribs until the products run out. Top it with mashed tomatoes, oil and cabbage soup and some warm water, enough to cover the sauerkraut. Close and bring to a boil for 3 hours on a moderate stove.
You can also put everything into a greased tray, cover it with foil and bake the pork ribs with sauerkraut.

You might not want to think too hard on a Monday, and that's totally fine. But sometimes you'll be face-to-face with excellent mobile strategy games like these and it's silly not to give them a play.
We've covered some of the best strategy games on the market before and we'll definitely stand by it. Of course, you can't and shouldn't judge a book by its cover – or, in this case, a game by its visuals – but it's nice to dig into a title that has style and substance, right?
What I do know is that these mobile strategy games tick all of the boxes: content, audio, artwork, you name it. If we've missed out on your favourite, let us know in those comments below.
The Banner Saga – download on iOS
I know, how could I not include The Banner Saga in a list about fantastic strategy games? Not only is it gorgeous in every way, it's truly an epic RPG worthy of the time and attention it demands.
The choices you make, as well as the outcome of the battles you fight, will affect your narrative and the direction of the story. There are 25 available characters to play as across two races and seven different classes, so you've got plenty of opportunity to adjust things to your personal play style.
Everything is hand-drawn and will no doubt immerse you into a fantastical world inspired by Norse mythology. It may not be game over when a character is defeated in battle, but it will affect your experience (and might make you a bit emotional).

Though some might say Kingdom: New Lands is a rather simple concept, it's rather wonderful in the same sense. You play as an overseeing monarch, tasked with ruling and building up their kingdom.
What starts off as a handful of tents and twigs grows into castles, barracks, farms, and more. The controls are simple, yes, but effective. You ride left or right on your mount, hire needy subjects, and use gold to fix up the land before moving on to the next territory.
Oh, and you need to protect your flourishing empire from demon invasions by building walls, hiring archers, and sending noble knights off on likely suicidal quests to take down the threat. Rebuild, recover, and rejoice.
SteamWorld Heist – download on iOS
This turn-based tactical strategy game is chocked full of robo-fighting, neon colours and awesome shoot-outs that'll make you feel like you're a total badass.
You're commanding a crew of scurvy, steam-driven pirates on a quest of epic proportions. As you fight through ships of enemies, you'll get to physically aim your guns to make the very best shots and upgrade your whole team to immense levels.
Easily one of the nicest looking strategy games on the market, if you fail your missions you've got no one to blame but yourself. There's no luck or chance involved here. Plus, it's an accessible game for all skill levels, even if you suck at aiming.
FTL: Faster Than Light – download on iPad
FTL might not be appealing to everyone, but it's definitely one of the finest strategy games on the market. If its top-down and rather classic-looking art-style isn't enough to grip you at first, you'll have a blast with its complex gameplay.
It's a lot to get your head around at first, but since you can pause combat and evaluate your options you should never feel overwhelmed. You can upgrade and unlock new ships to play around with and work through the story based on your choices in the narrative.
You've got to really think it through, though. One rough round and you'll be gone for good. Dying in-game means you'll have to start all over again from scratch. Talk about tension.
Ticket to Earth – download on iOS
Ticket to Earth was an unexpected treasure when it first came out. As an odd mixture of match-something and strategic gameplay.
You play as a young orphan girl, Rose, in a sci-fi setting, as she finds herself as a rather unwilling heroine of the story. Mining robots start turning on their operators, but it's only the beginning of a sudden wave of violence, and Rose has no other choice but to sign up with the Peace Keepers.
So far there are two episodes out with two more to come in the not-so-distant future. If you've not yet watched any videos or player it yourself, it's a big recommendation from me.

While hurricanes struck, Scott Pruitt was up to some interesting activities: Scott Pruitt is literally Satan. Contrast his actions with former (bipartisan) administrators and you see the truth. He is an industry tool meant to dismantle the hollowed out…
Below are the records Hurricane Irma has already broken as of this morning:
Just to name a few… more here.
here for this
Say what you will about climate change (I mean, it's 110% real) but you'd be naive to think the effects of Harvey weren't exacerbated by it (think: rising sea levels, warmer temps, higher frequency of natural disasters). Harvey isn't a one-off; we need to be prepared for what's coming next…
The Weather Channel is throwing major shade and I am here for it.
Their homepage include articles titled: "So What Happens to Earth Now?" "Still Don't Care? Proof You Should"
"..and More Proof…"
"…and Even More Proof…"
"…Or the Imminent Collapse of a Key Ice Shelf…:"
"… Or Antarctica Turning Green…"
"… Or California's Coast Disappearing into the Sea…"
It is as was feared. President Trump has withdrawn the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. This is momentous. It is ominous. And it throws the future health of the planet into grave doubt.
Some who are knowledgeable on this topic think the damage could be minimized by a renewed effort by the rest of the world, and action here at the state and local level as well as in the private sector. Others fear this could be a death knell for our global environment, as countries will shirk their responsibilities and the Paris deal will unravel. History will tell.
But whatever happens, this was a reckless and intemperate action. It is not based on science or reason. And it will not strengthen the United States.
How will President Trump argue for his actions? Who really cares? The world is watching, future generations wait in judgement, and we have shirked our moral responsibility as a member of the world community.
We can only hope that when we look back at this, it is seen as a nadir on our path back to sanity. Will this awaken voters, business interests, and reasonable politicians? We can only hope and vow to do our part.

It's been eight full years since Governor Palin hit the national spotlight. Her strongest critics (those we call Palin Deranged) have accused her of having "15 minutes of fame" and have spent all these years repeatedly claiming that said minutes were finally over.
To their dismay, however, 2016 proved to be one of her strongest years ever. And though we know she'd never take the credit for it, this last year is not only the year she made perhaps one of the biggest differences politically, but it was also a manifestation of years of success that came together that allowed her to serve as Barry Goldwater to "Trump's Reagan Revolution."
Of course the year had its share of challenges, one in particular was Todd Palin's snow machine accident earlier in 2016. The tragedy saddened us all but ironically turned out to show the massive support Governor Palin retains as an outpouring of prayers were sent to the family from supporters across the country.
Additionally, the year brought joy to the Palin family when Bristol and Dakota Meyer got married and even more recently announced a coming addition to their own family.
As with any family, as with all of us, ups and downs are inevitable. Yet, throughout it all Governor Palin remained focused on helping our new President-elect on his mission to "Make America Great Again!"
While many in the Republican cocktail circuit were laughing at the idea of Donald Trump winning the Republican nomination, Governor Palin went rogue and jumped in very early to endorse the outsider businessman for president amidst a media storm of critics.
She followed up campaigning with him in the primary.
As Trump said in the video above "everybody wanted her endorsement." He got it and it proved to be a massive help in many conservative states. Soon afterwards, the focus became on the rust belt where Governor Palin visited Wisconsin as well. Against the prediction of the experts, he won the GOP nomination comfortably.
Then came the general election where the mainstream media did all it could to smear the man who threatened Hillary Clinton's anointed turn.
Throughout their mission to steer the narrative, the Trump campaign knew that in the final hours of the general campaign that a message taken right to the people was the way to go. Governor Palin was asked to hit the campaign trail in the important battleground states of Michigan and Ohio just two days before the election.
She hit towns in Michigan here and here.
She hit Ohio here, here, and here.
As we all know and are extremely thankful for, just days after these speeches in the rust belt, Donald J. Trump was elected president of the Untied States.
After Trump secured the 270 electoral votes to win, Governor Palin posted the following on her Facebook page.
Congratulations, America!
Now the hard work begins to get government off your back and back on your side. May the wisdom of Solomon guide all decisions.
We cast the vote for the Trump movement because it was a vote for American exceptionalism, which leads to peace through our strength.
From all of us at C4P, Happy 2017 to you.
And of course, a big "thank you!" to Governor Palin for doing all she's done to help elect a new president that the American people deserve.
Our work continues.

When you compare the following emails, there are two main assumptions that are often made.
- [email protected]
- New to business
- Unprofessional
- [email protected]
- Business-savvy
- Professional
Using your domain name is more professional and people are generally more trusting of a business email that is using the domain name (especially with the increased fear of phishing emails).
DNS providers offer a way for you to easily set up email forwarding by letting you configure your DNS settings – this is included when you purchase your domain. So as a small business you could have a free gmail account "[email protected]" and tell your DNS provider to forward all emails that are sent to "[email protected], [email protected], etc." to "[email protected]".
While receiving email is relatively simple, sending email from the custom domain requires additional configuration.
This article explains how to configure your Gmail account to both send and receive emails with a custom domain (for free).
Step 1: Configure MX Records
To get started, you need to have email forwarding set up through your DNS provider. To do this, you need to configure your MX Records to point to Google's email servers (you can find the exact MX record data here: https://support.google.com/domains/answer/9428703?hl=en&ref_topic=6293345).
Step 2: Generate App Password
An App Password is a 16-digit passcode that gives a non-Google app or device permission to access your Google Account. App Passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on. (Learn more about App Passwords here)
To set up a App Password, go to https://accounts.google.com/ and click on the Security tab.
You will see options for Signing in to Google. Go to App passwords.
Next you will need to click on Select app and choose the option Other (Custom Name). You can name your app password whatever you like, then click the Generate button.
This will generate your App Password. Make sure that you hold on to this for the next step. You can discard it after the set up process is complete.
Step 3: Gmail Configuration
With your app password in hand, open your Gmail inbox to start the configuration process.
Go to Settings. Usually located in the upper right corner.
Select Accounts and Import
Go to the third section under Accounts and Import that says Send mail as.
Click the link in this section that says Add another email address.
Once you click on the link that says Add another email address, a pop-up will appear that looks similar to the following. The information that you fill in here is about your custom email address ([email protected]).
The Name field is the name that will show up as the name of the email sender. If the email is a generic email, like "[email protected]", then it would be best to use something like Example Info or something of that nature.
The Email address field is going to have the email that you have configured to forward mail to your gmail account.
Treat as an alias is going to need to be UNCHECKED.
Continue on to the Next Step >>
The following screen will automatically fill in with information that you will need to change.
Enter the relevant information into the fields provided. Be sure to substitute <your_gmail> for your Gmail address and <app_password> for the App Password you generated in Step 2.
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com Username: <your_gmail> Port: 465 Password: <app_password>
Once your information has been entered in, it should look similar to the following.
Continue on to Add Account >>
Google will send a confirmation code to your custom domain email (which should forward to your Gmail inbox). Retrieve your confirmation code, verify and you're all set!
To send an email as the new custom email address, go to Compose a new email like normal. You will now see that the "From" address line has a drop down that will let you choose which email you would like to send an email from.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out or leave a comment on this article!

Healthcare and healthcare insurance issues
Robert, the most dangerous man in Washington isn't Barack Obama – it's Harry Reid.
He runs the Senate like a dictator. He refuses to protect you from Obama's spying. He wants the IRS to enforce the worst part of ObamaCare: the individual mandate. He even wants to bail out big insurance companies with YOUR money.
It's time to end Harry Reid's reign of terror. We need to take back the Senate, and put Reid and the Democrats in the minority.
Will you help Fire Harry Reid? Let us know if you're ready to give the most dangerous man in Washington a pink slip.
In Liberty,

Just a little reminder about keeping your perspective, from a sane voice speaking out in the noisy chaos of the holiday season. Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. Whichever you choose, make it a good one.
Just wanted to give you (and me) some things to ponder this Christmas.
Be careful not to push so hard to "keep Christ in Christmas" that you end up judging and condemning those who don't.
Remember the men and women who have been killed in the line of duty, whether it be in law enforcement or the military.
It's not really a big deal if people say Happy Holidays over Merry Christmas.
Jesus is so amazingly more than just a Christmas story.
It's not worth maxing out every credit card you have just to give your children an "awesome Christmas."
Jesus is not just the "reason for the season." He is the reason we have daily relationship with our Father.
There are so many people who can't be with their families. Let's not ever forget that.
Jesus paid much too high a price for us to only celebrate Him one…

Juice that goes above and beyond
January 10, 2019
Beyond Juicery and Eatery is a new restaurant in Grosse Pointe Woods. Located at 21110 Mack Avenue at the corner of Roslyn it is well positioned to attract a large number of visitors. Even on the busy opening day, it was easy to find parking due to the large number of parking spaces.
Upon walking into the restaurant, visitors cannot help but notice the clean and bright surroundings. The employees are friendly and welcoming. They are also knowledgeable and happy to answer questions about the huge variety of menu items
Juices, smoothies, wraps and salad bowls make up the bulk of the menu. Every item is made from fresh ingredients. All menu choices are made to order.
Behind the counter, visitors can see a large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables used to create various offerings.
I had a Razzle Dazzle smoothie and an Avocado Turkey Wrap. Both items were fantastic. The smoothie was sweet and delicious without any sugar or syrup added. The wrap tasted fresh and light while containing a variety of satisfying flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed both items.
Prices are not cheap but are fair for the product being delivered. My 16 ounce smoothie was $6.00 and the wrap was $8.50.
I highly recommend Beyond Juicery and Eatery. Its goal is to provide healthy options to customers and I would say it meets that goal in a wonderfully tasty way. I am looking forward to the opportunity to go back and try some additional menu items.

Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Friday 27 October
It was a contrasting first practice session for our two drivers as Stoffel suffered an PU issue, and after three installation laps was forced to sit out the rest of FP1. The team detected an anomaly in the data coming from his power unit, which following initial interrogation in the garage could not be diagnosed, so it was decided that the engine should be changed in order to further investigate the issue.
Conversely, Fernando had a smooth and ultimately positive session. He was able to conduct a productive test programme, gathering a lot of useful data for the team and performing a number of aero correlation tests. He completed 20 laps and finished the session in eighth.
The mechanics did a good job to change Stoffel's power unit in time for FP2, and he was able to get out on track shortly after the pit lane opened at the start of the session. Both drivers had a trouble-free afternoon – Stoffel getting to grips with the car's handling after an interrupted morning, and Fernando evaluating various set-up changes and aero components. Towards the end of the session, both drivers turned their attention to longer runs and towing practice. Fernando completed 26 laps and finished 7th, Stoffel did 32 laps and finished 15th.
FERNANDO ALONSO, McLaren Honda driver, MCL32-05
|1m19.346s (+1.522s)
|20 laps
|1m18.508s (+0.707s)
|26 laps
"I would say that today has been a very positive and productive Friday. We did a lot of laps, a lot of tests, and most of them gave us good feedback. We were only seven tenths away from the fastest time and two tenths from Bottas, so surprisingly competitive in both sessions on such a complicated circuit.
"We know it's going to be a difficult race anyway, starting from the back, and with little chance of overtaking because of our top speed. In some ways we have to sacrifice this race in order to have a fresh engine in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.
"We also don't yet know which way to go for qualifying - we need to decide on a few things in terms of tyres, and see which decision gives us the least painful result.
"The stadium section is such an incredible view! It's so nice to see so many people in the grandstands here already, on a Friday."
STOFFEL VANDOORNE, McLaren Honda driver, MCL32-04
|No time set
|3 laps
|1m19.844s (+2.043s)
|32 laps
"I had an engine problem in FP1 which obviously limited our mileage. In FP2 too it was difficult for us to get out of the box at the beginning of the session due to a loose wheel, but we managed to complete our programme for that session and gather the data we needed.
"I hope tomorrow we will have a trouble-free day and continue our weekend as normal. I'm pleased we've managed to find the root of the PU problem we had in the first session, and hopefully we can get as much mileage as we can in FP3 tomorrow before qualifying.
"On a new track, mileage is always the most important thing to achieve, especially when you're trying to dial in the car to the circuit in tricky conditions like the high altitude we experience here. I feel positive that we can find a better feeling in the car tomorrow provided we can get the track time, and collect as much information as possible ahead of qualifying and the race."
ERIC BOULLIER, McLaren Honda Racing Director
"After a frustrating start for Stoffel we ended the day productively by gathering useful data from both cars in the second session.
"Following the issue on Stoffel's car in FP1, we elected to change his PU to diagnose the problem outside the car. Fortunately, the engine he was running was from our pool, and therefore it hasn't limited our resources for the rest of the weekend but simply necessitated that we bring our programme forward.
"Stoffel and his engineers ran the second session very efficiently to try to compensate for his lack of running this morning – a situation which hadn't helped his programme, especially on a track on which he's never raced before. However, he did a sterling job this afternoon to complete a full run plan and collate useful information for his team to process overnight.
"Fernando enjoyed two smooth sessions where the team was able to gather useful data ahead of the weekend and provide his engineers with valuable feedback on the car's handling around this circuit. We know this track is a challenging one for us and we're hampered by penalties for both cars, but we're pleased with the work we've managed to complete today, in spite of the PU issue, and we hope to be able to start on the front foot tomorrow with more useful running."
SATOSHI NAKAMURA, Honda R&D Co. Ltd Principal Engineer
"For today's running, both drivers started with a new PU. We changed Fernando's PU because of the issue he had with his MGU-H in the USA, and Stoffel's PU change was more strategic in order to help with reliability for the final two races in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.
"During both practice sessions, Fernando completed his programme in accordance with the schedule. Although we have been expecting a tough challenge here with regards to controlling the power extraction due to the thinner air at 2,200m, the performance he showed today was rather encouraging in terms of his competitiveness.
"As for Stoffel, we found a potential issue in his data at the beginning of FP1 and decided to change his PU as a precaution. Although it was frustrating to lose most of the session, we found the issue was very minor and there was no damage to the PU. Stoffel was then able to recover his programme, completing 32 laps in FP2.
"It's frustrating that we'll have to start the race on Sunday with both cars at the back of the grid. However, we know that anything can happen in the race. For this reason, we'll continue to focus on our set-up for long runs in tomorrow's session."

Cool Logistics Global is the specialist event for the perishables supply chain connecting some of the smartest people in the industry. The conference and exhibition has become the launch pad for new ideas
LONDON, 07.05.2019 – Cool Logistics Resources (CLR) will launch the Cool Logistics 'Innovation in Perishable Logistics' Award at the 11th Cool Logistics Global Conference in Valencia 17-19 September 2019.
The Cool Logistics Global Conference has continually offered a platform to new products and services to share innovative ideas, and to continue this we would like to recognize the companies and individuals behind them for their contributions to achieving supply chain excellence involved in the professional handling of temperature-controlled products.
Over the last 10 years, CLR has brought together a wealth of talent intent on stamping their mark on developing perishable supply chains e.g. in 2017 George Ribeiro's 'one percent waste reduction target in the cold chain'; in 2015 the official launch of Maersk Lines' real-time remote monitoring implementation strategy together with AT&T Mobile & Business Solutions; and in 2013, the launch of the Stena Reefer RoRo concept.
The Award is open to anyone involved in perishable logistics – individuals, teams, companies – who have made a difference in the way perishable products are shipped or handled. Award entrants are required to show that a product, idea, solution, process, scheme or other innovation has resulted in significant contribution to improving the efficiency and sustainability of the perishables supply chain.

Lib Dem Councillors in B&NES are warning that the Conservative Council's plan to reduce waste collections to fortnightly could lead to 'bin chaos' this winter.
B&NES residents have been receiving letters from the Council in recent days, announcing the change and explaining whether they will be issued with a wheelie bin or (in Bath city centre) a gull-proof sack.
Lib Dem Leader, Councillor Dine Romero (Southdown) commented: "Many local people are still angry that this new policy is being imposed on them with no consultation and with no choice. For others, the letters which have been sent out in the last few days will be their first notice that their collections are being cut.
"One of my main concerns is that the Conservative administration has opted for one of the smallest wheelie bins on the market. These 140 litre bins can only hold about three bags of rubbish and are smaller than a typical wheelie bin, such as those used in Bristol.
"Residents are allowed to ask for a larger bin, or a gull proof sack, but the deadline is 5 May – months before the bins are being delivered.
"Bristol City Council changed to wheelie bins some years ago. However Bristol residents were given large bins in the first place and then the smaller, 180 litre bin was introduced some years later on. This gave people a chance to get used to the system.
"Other Councils have introduced wheelie bins at the same time as new recycling options, such as the introduction of food waste collections.
"B&NES residents will not have such adaptations. Instead we are getting a change from unrestricted collections to, effectively, a three bags per fortnight quota and no additional recycling options. This has the potential to cause enormous problems for some.
"Without a pilot scheme the Council has no way of knowing if most people will be able to manage. We could have a winter of bin chaos on our hands."
Councillor Andy Furse (Kingsmead) added: "I think a lot of residents will be shocked to receive a letter from the Council telling them that their Council Tax is going up again – by 3.5% this year – and also that their bin collections are being reduced to fortnightly.
"Residents are once again being asked to pay more for less by this Conservative administration.
"It's good that we have won the argument on some sensitive areas of Bath city centre retaining weekly collections and we do support the use of gull-proof sacks, which were introduced by the Lib Dem administration. However, the visual aspect of wheelie bins is also a consideration.
"Estate agent boards are banned in Bath Conservation Area because they have a detrimental impact, but many residents will have no option but to keep visually intrusive wheelie bins in their front gardens or on the street.
"This is a clear double standard and a problem that the Council has not addressed."
Bath and North East Somerset Council issued the following statement: "The Council's plans to recycle more, keep streets cleaner and save money by reverting to every other week rubbish collections were first approved by Cabinet in July last year – and details were published in the local media, via the Council's website and social media channels and with a double page spread in the Council's residents' magazine (distributed to 76,000 households).
"Since then, the Council has taken a number of steps (including recycling roadshows across the district) to explain the planned collection changes and engage with residents to work out suitable options for rolling out the collection changes to bring the Council in line with over 70% of UK councils, including our neighbouring authorities.
"From July 2016 to date, the Council has continued to provide updates on developments and explain that we are not proposing a "one size fits all" approach – and this latest round of letters clarifies this.
"We have repeatedly stated that we are keen to hear from households who are concerned that they may have difficulty with the changes (such as larger families or houses of multiple occupation) and we will work with them to help ensure they are recycling all they can and discuss possible alternatives for their rubbish collection (such as larger bins).
"We are asking for people to respond with any such concerns before 5 May, in order to allow sufficient time to discuss their needs."

Healthy hair and skin start from within—it's a saying I live by Every. Single. Day and something my dear mother drummed into me since I was a pimply-faced teenager.
I'll admit, I've grown up not drinking soft drinks nor consuming red meat nor indulging in fast foods thanks to my mum, and I don't even remember the last time it was in my kitchen. My mum knew a thing or two about health, I reckon, and it's paid off. Back in my heydey, at 3.30pm right after school, I'd whip open the fridge door for a snack and there, stuck to the fridge staring right at me, would be a list of all the foods (well, numbers) my twin sister and I weren't allowed to eat—621 (MSG), 330 etc. etc., the list went on and on.
"Since you follow a plant-based diet, finding protein sources with ALL the essential amino acids is particularly important. Protein powders such as WelleCo can be a valuable top-up here" says Nutritionist Emma Cronin.
For my sister and me, fresh fruit, yoghurts, brown rice, organic chicken, freshly cooked home meals, fruit roll-ups and muesli bars were considered the norm, and chocolate and organic red wine were never far from our reach (hidden up the top of the pantry behind the pasta—mum honestly thought we would never find them). Grocery shopping would take hours—my mum had to read the back of every frickin' packet she picked up. I remember watching her perfectly-manicured pointy fingernail slide down the ingredients list, waiting for one of two reactions: her lips pursed in discontent as she put it back down—"It has too much sodium in it," she would say—or a nod of approval followed by a toss into the trolley.
My mum taught me a thing or two about looking after my health (ok, she taught me a lot) because being aware—which is so important—has actually shaped my decisions about how I look after myself today. Thank you, mum!
So, 15 years on… (ok, maybe 20 years), I've noticed little changes in my hair, skin and weight. First of all, it's not so easy to just lose weight anymore and secondly, my hair, which was thick, has started thinning and becoming weak. Since I've always had an amazing diet, it's not something that I had wanted to see but hey, age catches up with us all. So what did I do? I… complained to my friends over long red wine sessions, became a grump for a few weeks, cursed my age … and then I did some research and found a solution!
So, here's what I learnt and here's what I consume every day. It honestly brought back my hair vitality, shine and strength, and has allowed me to be at a weight that I'm now comfortable with.
Here we go…
You're probably thinking, "who is she to talk about nutrition?", which is fair. But since I had access to one, I asked her to assess my daily edible beauty ritual. Here's what our in-house nutritionist had to say:
Collagen is a protein which is found in our skin, making it firm and supple, increasing its moisture content and slowing the formation of wrinkles. It's also found in our hair and nails. As we age, our collagen levels decrease, which is why it's essential that we meet our daily protein requirements not just for our general health but for the health of our skin, hair and nails.
Collagen powders contain protein which is absorbed and used by your body to produce more collagen. Whether you're consuming a collagen powder, a protein powder or both together, it's important to choose high-quality products to ensure an adequate rate of bioabsorption. In particular, look for protein powders that also contain vitamins as this will improve absorption and the body's ability to produce collagen.
Since you follow a plant-based diet, finding protein sources with ALL the essential amino acids is particularly important. Protein powders can be a valuable top-up here, says Emma Cronin.
And this is what she thought of my daily diet:
1 x scoop of Welleco Vanilla Pea Protein Powder. They also have chocolate but my fav is the vanilla.
1 x Tablespoon of organic peanut butter for taste
1 x teaspoon of Chia Seeds
1 x cup of almond milk
1 x half a banana
1 x scoop of collagen powder
So whilst it's not rocket science, I believe it's all just about being more aware of what you put in your body and what your body needs. As we grow older, we just need to replenish the areas that are lacking.

Posts Tagged 'summaries'
Anyone who has spent any reasonable amount of time on a fanfiction archive such as FanFiction.Net has probably come across the very common fic summary, "I suck so much at summaries, sorry! Please read and review!" or any of a hundred different versions thereof. It's everywhere. In every fandom, for every pairing, for fics that are canon, AU, it doesn't matter – and more importantly, it doesn't state any of that information right there.
Therein lies the very problem with this sort of non-summary: it doesn't summarize. Though I can understand well the self-consciousness of new authors who sometimes use this sort of summary for their fics for lack of a better idea, hopefully this column will help to remedy this influx of somewhat confusing summaries and help authors to be more confident in putting together their two or three sentence "hooks."

Successful marriages are built on a solid friendship. However, during your relationship, you will most likely face challenges that will question the strength of your bond. According to psychology experts, a longstanding and energetic friendship is based on the profound moments you share throughout your relationship.
Here are some top ways to maintain and keep your friendship strong even in your relationship as husband and wife.
Show Real Interest in Your Soulmate
Expressing your real and genuine feelings to your partner is one way that you can confirm your commitment to your relationship. How so? If your partner is in the wrong, express your dissatisfaction in a good way and give them the chance to explain their actions.
On the other hand, if they are winning at life, share in their joy and motivate them to continue acing it. This way your partner will know that you've got their back no matter what.
Support your Partner
Situations will happen when it is you against everyone else. Best of friends will defeat the odds and support each other no matter how tricky the situation is.
Be ready to take your soulmate's side whether they are right or wrong. Also, don't reprimand them in public or in front of their peers or friends. If they are wrong, you can talk it out in private, and sort out the issue between yourselves.
Recreate Past Moments
You will share many happy moments in the course of your relationship that need to be remembered. For example, surprise your partner with a date at the place where you first met. This will show your partner that you still have a great memory of those romantic moments.
Besides that, it will also solidify your friendship and evoke more happy experiences. If you've been in a romantic relationship before, this may sound very nostalgic. Nonetheless, happymatches.com is there for you, sign up and you could be a click away from your soulmate.
Turn the Small Moments into Thrilling Experiences
At the start of your relationship, there were most undoubtedly certain aspects or features of your partner's life that attracted you to him or her. After a few years, you may have gotten used to them, and the spark in your relationship could have died down a little bit.
Here is where you need to turn those happenings you share with your better half into more fun, as a way to reassure them that you're still committed to him or her. No matter how small the experience is, always give it your all.
Be Selfless
Expressing unconditional love to a partner, even when they are in the wrong, is a sure way to cement your long-term friendship. For starters, you should understand that no one is perfect and be willing to take the baggage.
It will not all be rosy through, but you should be ready to offer your support where needed. Later on, in life, you may get kids who will split your attention and add a new dimension to your relationship. You still should be ready to take up a few chores here and there.

Regular readers will be relieved to hear that Ms. Parallax Brief had her plaster removed last week. The visit to the hospital, the same pit of corruption and negligence she stayed in when the leg was first broken, was instructive.
During Ms. Parallax's miserable week in traction in Room 101 ward 404 five weeks ago, the Parallax Brief's views of the bribery and pared care pervasive in the hospital developed from seeing it as being a case of cheeky graft and apathy to be expected of low paid workers in a society where corruption is commonplace to viewing it as a brazen effort by wicked people to exploit for monetary gain their power of life and death, comfort and pain, and full recovery or chronic suffering.
The Parallax Brief felt obliged to play the game in the form of bars of chocolate, a bottle of bourbon and some hard currency while his good lady was under their care, but he now saw no reason to line the pockets of these racketeers for removing the plaster. If they assumed the foreigner in the shirt and tie would recompense them for a job well done because he slipped the odd bribe before, let them think that – no further services were needed, so disappointment for non-payment would not have repercussions.
But the plaster was removed, and farce ensued.
Ms Parallax Brief hobbled in on crutches, clearly upset that her leg was painful and angry looking and that she was still unable to walk. Meantime, the doctor stood over the Parallax Brief's shoulder like a pending day, making no attempt to disguise his pavlovian expectation of a juicy payoff; Ms. Parallax stared the stare of a woman who wishes to communicate by facial expression alone the sentence "pay the man so we can get out of here or I'll render you infertile"; and her father stood near, elbow nudging while muttering "he wants paying" several times under his breath.
About three minutes of this toe-curling purgatory was all it took to break the Parallax Brief, and against his better judgment he whipped out a thousand ruble note, handed it to the doctor and walked off in a self-loathing pique to hail a taxi.
But then the guards who control the entrance wouldn't let the taxi into the main compound. Didn't they understand, the Parallax Brief explained in the most forthright terms, that Ms. P is in the hospital on crutches, and it would be dangerous to negotiate the steps and ramps, which are covered in sheet ice? "Hospital policy. Under no circumstances can we break the rules." But that's absurd. It's a hospital! How can you possibly have rules when patients who can't walk have to come out all the time? "You don't understand. It's simply impossible. That's the rules".
200 rubles later, the rules had been broken and Ms. P was safely on her way home, but the experience provided the Parallax Brief with a lightning bolt revelation: the hospital's business model is like that of a taxi firm.
Now, the Parallax Brief doesn't know how taxi firms work elsewhere, but in the UK the taxi driver provides his own car, radio, etc, and every week pays the firm a certain amount of cash, but then gets to keep all the fares he receives. Likewise, the doctors in the hospital we went to provide their own medical expertise and time for negligible remuneration in exchange for being able to use the premises to extort bribes. Meantime, the guards sit and monitor the access gates for a measly salary, but get to keep whatever they can rustle from those who want to get private vehicles near an entrance door.
It's the taxi firm business model working in a hospital.

Puffins! They are such strange-looking birds, to me they always look as if they are about to cry, but they are very cute birds.

Hi Jennifer,
One of my most favourite quotes is as follows:
"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." F. Nietzsche
Scary, isn't it?
KlovsjaI really love this Nietzsche quote too, so it was cool that she included it. The stamp is of a great crested grebe.

A fictitious meeting that the Harman Literary Society had was published in the 1905 Microcosm. The piece completely makes fun of the society, and some of the women involved with it. At their meeting, the women apparently held a debate on whether "Promiscuous Kissing is a Good Thing." One side argued that kissing is "conductive to good health...exercises the kissers" and gives personal experience.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Motorola Droid Turbo' started by MarBearCat, Jul 26, 2015.
They will not force you to install.
You cannot keep root on L to my knowledge.
Tap'n Turbo
Anyway to stop the constant reminders to install? I've read (in this thread actually) that there is a way to delete the downloaded files (which would make me sleep better lol), but have yet to find out how?
What sucks is I really wouldn't mind checking out 5.1, but I terrified of losing my tether-ness lol.
My friend with an S5 has been saying no for probably 6 months now.
Tap'n Turbo
I just bought Titanium Backup (paid version so I can freeze), froze the "MotorollaOTA" app, and I am now going to boot in recovery and wipe cache. I was told will do the trick for anyone else with this issue. Thanks for the replies!
I tell ya, they don't care if you're playing a game app or what, they cut right into it with their......"NEW SYSTEM SOFTWARE IS AVAILABLE!"
Haven't gotten be yet lollipopper! Bwahahahahahaha!
Same here, still avoiding it(Lollipop) like the plague. I followed the instructions on the sticky about clearing the cache partition for Kit Kat. It seems to remove the Lollipop update file and frees me from the install lollipop popup for a good period of time.
It will eventually download the file again and the pop-up will start back up.
Currently, I'm going about eight hours without being bothered by the update install popup.
Resistance is futile, you will be Lollipopified...
Marshmallow or bust for me!
I to am still on Kit Kat on my tubo. I called Verizon and they said it was ok to upgrade but I remember what happed to my last phone when it was upgraded to jellybean it messed it up and if lolliepop does the same thing as jellybean I wont upgrade. Kit Kat is working perfect for me if lolliepop is clean and bug free I might upgrade does anybody know if its bug free ? Does anybody still have problems with lolliepop messing up there phones?
I downloaded and installed "disable service" from the play store and did the same thing for free. Disable Service - Android Apps on Google Play
Do you have to be rooted to use this?
The apps description say it requires root access. I'm not rooted so I'll just keep clearing the cache daily as it appears that for me, lollipop update downloads around mid-night. It's been more than twenty four hours now and still no install popup for lollipop.

The surrounding gardens, easily maintained and a pleasure to look at, are beautifully landscaped.
Nothing is lacking in this gorgeous chalet - with a modern construction, impeccable attention to detail, and everything you could wish for in a luxurious mountain retreat, Chalet Perle de Montagne has to be among the most desirable properties in the Alps!
