Personal Life--
- Set aside time for healthy eating and exercise.—Eh,not so much!
- Set aside special times for my husband. VASTLY IMPROVED. :)
- Spend more time reading the Word of God and memorizing it.-- This project has helped in this area!
- Spend more time in prayer—Finding respite in prayer
- Spend more MEANINGFUL time with my family (*and Friends) --- As with any family; my family has hurts and needs right now. –I'M LEARNING that: TIME IS ALL WE HAVE
The goals in this section are probably the highest on my list though I've written them here last, they are not the least in importance. I know if I make improvements here in this category—the rest of my goals will either FALL AWAY or become A LIGHTER LOAD TO CARRY.
There's really not any point of making a list if you don't return to it,on occasion; and review the Goals you've set for yourself—You can read my list, in full, here
I took some time off from blogging recently. During that time I reconnected with a good friend. T.H. and I visited with them in their home. One of the things that came up was bible talk. I had mentioned that I wasn't able to read the smaller print from my new bible. That I missed using my old bible—while I still had it, I kept it put up; because the binding was coming apart and The Book of Ephesians had COME OUT! Along with pages from various other New Testament books. Right away –she showed me her and her husbands bibles and how they had similar situations and they DIY'd their bibles.
Naturally, I wanted to do this! Why hadn't I thought of doing it myself? I THINK HAD…but just hadn't taken the time to research. I know THAT bible came to mind when I wrote my list in January. I just don't care to read my bible ELECTRONICALLY—and like I said, my newer bible had too fine a print.
What follows are my pictures of my bible rebinding process intermingled with the Destruction THAT IS BUSTER!
Sometime in the last year…(almost, we'll have had Buster a year Memorial Day weekend at the end of this month. Can you believe it?) Anyway, Buster had a complete COME-APART-ONE-DAY WHILE LEFT INSIDE—we were gone about 4 1/2 hrs.
He utterly destroyed my living room. I was distraught he actually bit off a piece of my couch, that I had worked so hard to recover—and almost destroyed my already FRAIL and well worn bible. I was so upset. I never did a post about it. It was bad— SERIOUSLY…I THOUGHT WE HAD BEEN BROKEN INTO WHEN I GOT HOME THAT DAY.
- Back to the Bible and book re-binding.
-- BEFORE—Back Cover Inside
--AFTER- Back Cover Inside ( I just used an old folder made of heavy duty card stock for this application)
--BEFORE- Inside Cover page –'separation'
--AFTER- Inside Cover page 'rebound' :)
--BEFORE- Ephesians out!
--AFTER- Ephesians 'rebound'
--AFTER- Outside: front and back
You can see a little bit of the some pages peeking out there—those are the very frail and little bit frayed pages of Ephesians. They are in there—just not all the way. I trimmed them up a bit afterward. I love it. I can read this bible with no problems—and I have all my notes, highlighted areas and hand written references inside. It feels good to hold it in my hands again and read it. I'm grateful my friend showed me this tutorial The written WORD is a help to me most days- to read encouraging and uplifting words.
~ Thy word IS a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. ~ Psalm 119:105
- Here are the links to the video she shared with me.
…Til next time, be blessed.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. ~ 2 Timothy 4:2


text: (Bloomberg) -- Just as strategists began to warm up to European shares, the rally overtook their consensus. .For the first time since Bloomberg began compiling 2016 targets last year, forecasters have increased their estimates for the level at which the Stoxx Europe 600 Index will end in December. They now see the gauge reach 346, according to the average of 10 projections compiled by Bloomberg, up from 334 last month. The measure, propelled to its biggest jump in almost three weeks after the Federal Reserve kept borrowing costs unchanged, closed 0.5 percent above that level..Reassurances that central-bank largesse will keep supporting growth have helped revive a rally that stumbled in the past two weeks. The Bank of Japan on Wednesday shifted the focus of its stimulus from expanding the money supply to controlling interest rates, while the Fed trimmed its projection for hikes next year to two from three. Continued global support is good news for Europe, where economic data are back to missing forecasts. The Stoxx 600 rose 1.6 percent on Thursday, on track for its biggest weekly rise in two months. ."Things are better, but not great," said Charles de Boissezon, co-head of European equity strategy at Societe Generale SA in Paris. "Central banks are still trying to minimize the shocks in the market. The economic momentum is OK, fears of deflation have receded, and we see some signs of easing fiscal policy. Some concerns are receding, but there are still fears on the horizon.".The average year-end forecast still implies a more than 5 percent decline in the Stoxx 600 this year, which would be its first since the height of the sovereign-debt crisis. Last month, strategists expected a 8.6 percent slump. For Germany's DAX Index, the average estimate rose to 10,554 -- which would mean just a 1.8 percent slide for 2016 -- from 9,988 in August..Concerns about the efficacy of European Central Bank stimulus, paired with a banking crisis in Italy, the U.K. vote to leave the European Union and political tensions from Spain to German have driven away bulls that poured record money into the region's funds in 2015. Now they're backing off like never before, with a Bank of America Corp. report last week showing 32 straight weeks of withdrawals..Yet the extreme pessimism that sent the Stoxx 600 down as much as 17 percent in February has eased. Since the low that followed the British referendum in June, the gauge has rebounded 13 percent and analysts have begun tempering their bearish profit outlook for its members after 15 consecutive months of downgrades. With a valuation of about 15 times estimated earnings, European shares are cheaper than those in the S&P 500 Index or the MSCI All-Country World Index, data compiled by Bloomberg show.."The good thing about Europe is that it's not that expensive and it has the possibility of earnings delivering more than expectations," said Pierre Mouton, who helps oversee about $8.5 billion as a fund manager at Notz, Stucki & Cie. in Geneva. "The strategists are probably getting less pessimistic, with a good chunk of bad news already behind us. There are good companies out there.".On Thursday, all Stoxx 600 industry groups increased, and every western-European market advanced. A gauge of expected euro-area stock volatility sank 14 percent to its lowest level since December 2014..Commodity producers jumped the most in more than two months, with Rio Tinto Group and BHP Billiton Ltd. up more than 3 percent, while energy shares climbed with oil after data showed U.S. stockpiles dropped to the lowest since February. Automakers, up the most in almost seven weeks, helped push the DAX higher for a fourth day. The index added 2.3 percent for the region's biggest gain, with Deutsche Bank AG rising 3.2 percent from near a record low..Among companies moving on corporate news, Swedish maker of biometric sensors Fingerprint Cards AB advanced 2.1 percent after a report that a Chinese company approached it this summer about a potential merger..To contact the reporter on this story: Roxana Zega in Zurich at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Commenting on the success of the retreat, Avinash Agrawal, COO, Times Internet Limited said, "I think an event such as this helps us in reaching closer to our seekers.

The Top 10 Games On PlayStation 4
The PlayStation 4 got off to an early lead this generation, and a steady stream of exceptional first-party exclusives, complemented by robust third-party support, has kept it that way. Whether you just picked up a PS4 or have owned one since launch, we're rounding up the best experiences you don't want to miss in this continually updated feature.
Please note that while the list below contains 10 entries, we aren't actually ranking them – if a game has made it this far (and managed to stay here), it's a must-play, period. As such, we'll be listing entries in reverse chronological order. Also, you'll find a rundown of previous entries at the bottom of the list. While those titles have gotten bumped for bigger and better experiences, they are still all great games in their own right and worth exploring if you're already caught up on the latest hits.
Here are Game Informer's picks for the top 10 games on the PlayStation 4.
Red Dead Redemption II
Release: October 26, 2018
We've waited eight long years for another rodeo in Rockstar's open-world western series, but the results were worth it. Simply put, Red Dead Redemption II delivers the most immersive and meticulously detailed world the video game industry has seen yet. While not technically a role-playing game, Red Dead Redemption II's level of freedom and player agency allows you to completely lose yourself in the life of a frontiersman, whether you spend your days robbing trains and stagecoaches, or hunting and fishing on the outskirts of society. Arthur Morgan, along with Red Dead's vast array of supporting characters, is brought to life by stellar performances and the unprecedented interactivity you have with them – from greeting strangers in the road and goading poker players into fights, to bonding over a campfire with your fellow outlaws. It's not hyperbole to say Red Dead Redemption II is a generation-defining game that you shouldn't miss.
Release: September 7, 2018
Just months after Kratos axed his way to accolades, Sony had another exclusive hit on its hands. Spidey's latest adventure sets a new high bar for open-world superheroes, thanks to a gorgeous recreation of NYC and fast and fluid combat. Insomniac did right by longtime comic book fans by including tons of nods to Spider-Man's history, while also weaving its own compelling story and interesting takes on familiar characters. While some of the side activities became a bit repetitive, Spider-Man delivered dozens of hours of high-flying, web-slinging action that we won't forget anytime soon.
God of War
Release: April 20, 2018
The video game industry has come a long way since God of War's deity-beheading, vase-bumping antics, but thankfully so has Kratos. Santa Monica Studio's reinvention of the series makes daring changes to virtually every aspect of God of War, from the new camera perspective to the more deliberate and tactical combat. The biggest change, however, lies with Kratos himself and his new role as father and guardian to Atreus. The duo's relationship casts God of War in a whole different light and allows Santa Monica Studio to weave a mature and thoughtful story that stands among the best this generation has to offer. Thanks to Kratos' continued penchant for slaughtering any creature that stands in his way, the new God of War still offers plenty of excitement as well, along with the most visually arresting battles to date.
Monster Hunter: World
Release: January 26, 2018
Capcom's monster-slaying sim has been a hit in Japan for over a decade, but it wasn't until the series finally landed back on consoles this year that it achieved worldwide success. Chasing down and vanquishing towering beasts is the name of the game, but the frantic hack-and-slash action is augmented by over a dozen different weapon types that each takes hours to master. Once you settle on a fighting style, a deliciously deep crafting tree for upgrading weapons and armor provides countless more hours of enjoyment, along with a steady stream of timed events and crossovers from Capcom. Despite all this depth, Monster Hunter: World is also the most accessible entry for newcomers, so if you haven't joined the hunt yet, now is the perfect time.
Persona 5
Release: April 4, 2017
JRPG fans had been pining for a follow-up to Persona 4 for 8 long years, but the wait was worth it. Not only does Persona 5 pack enough depth, strategy, and story to keep players busy for 100+ hours, the stylish presentation puts every other turn-based RPG to shame. Whether you're acquiring and fusing new Personas, bonding with your fellow classmates, or just enjoying a night out in Tokyo, Persona 5 sucks you into its world and keeps you entertained for the long haul.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Release: February 28, 2017
Guerilla Games has been supplying Sony with solid shooters since the PS2 days, but the developer's decision to ditch Killzone for an open-world robot apocalypse changed everything. Horizon Zero Dawn has proven to be one of the best new IPs of this generation, introducing players to an exciting fusion of futuristic technology and prehistoric warfare. The intense combat, intelligently designed robot enemies, and gorgeous open-world vistas are just a few of the reasons pick up Horizon, while the multilayered mysteries at the heart of Aloy's journey make it hard to put down.
Release: May 24, 2016
Blizzard's hero-based competitive shooter has been out for over two years now, and yet it remains one of the most frequently played games by the G.I. staff. Part of Overwatch's longevity can be attributed to its pitch-perfect gunplay, deep roster of characters, and infinitely replayable Assault, Control, and Escort modes. However, what really keeps us coming back are all the improvements and additions Blizzard continues to offer, from countless balance tweaks to the host of new heroes and maps that have been added over the years, to the surprising and creative timed events.
Not everyone on staff loves Overwatch's implementation of lootboxes, but that doesn't stop us from jumping back into the grind every time new costumes are introduced, and the additional revenue stream has kept Overwatch's cornucopia of content updates free for all users. As long as Blizzard keeps updating Overwatch, we'll keep playing it, making it an easy recommendation for competitive shooter fans.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Release: May 10, 2016
Nathan Drake has served the PlayStation brand well over the years, and his final adventure proves to be his best. Not only does Uncharted 4 feature the biggest environments and most bombastic set-piece moments of the series, but it also offers the most mature and nuanced storytelling, delving into Nathan's childhood and relationship with his estranged brother Sam. As riveting as Uncharted 4's crumbling clocktower and motorcycle chase sequences are, the quiet character moments with Elena steal the show, and build to a touching finale worthy of one of Sony's biggest franchises.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Release: May 19, 2015
The Witcher 3 still remains the shining example of what we hope is the future of open-world RPGs: a massive, fully realized world to explore, expertly crafted and multidimensional characters, and intriguing choices that ripple throughout the dozens and dozens of hours of gameplay. The hefty Blood and Wine expansion spoiled us with even more fantastic content, but even years after release we look back fondly on our adventures with Geralt. If you're looking for the best the RPG genre has to offer, The Witcher 3 delivers.
Release: March 23, 2015
Nowadays there's no shortage of games inspired by From Software's notoriously difficult Dark Souls series, but the developer's own Sony-exclusive spinoff remains our favorite of the bunch. Bloodborne's livelier action and Lovecraftian horror combine to create a captivating and dread-inducing world to explore. True to its roots, Bloodborne's combat remains as unforgiving and supremely satisfying as ever, requiring you to master both the intricacies of your loadout and your enemies if you hope to survive. Bloodborne's high degree of difficulty may not be for everyone, but if you are ready to "git gud," this is the place to start.
The games bumped off of the list in recent updates are: Grand Theft Auto V, Diablo III, Dishonored 2, The Last of Us Remastered, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Destiny, Dragon Age: Inquisition, The Witness, Fallout 4, Axiom Verge, Batman: Arkham Knight, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. They're all still great games, so give them a try, too!

United States District Court, D. South Dakota, Southern Division
June 3, 2016
HOLINESS AMISI, Plaintiff,v.v. TOM MELICK, IN HIS INDIVIDUAL AND OFFICIAL CAPACITY; SUTRAN, INC., A SUBSIDIARY OF FIRST TRANSIT OF AMERICA, A DELAWARE CORPORATION; FIRST TRANSIT OF AMERICA, THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AN AGENCY OF THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA; Defendants.
matter is before the court pursuant to plaintiff Holiness
Amisi's complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
alleging defendants violated her Fourth and Fifth Amendment
constitutional rights while acting under color of state law.
See Docket No. 1. Ms. Amisi also asserts common law
state claims of assault, battery, negligence and negligent
infliction of emotional distress pursuant to the
court's supplemental jurisdiction. Id.
Defendants have filed a motion to quash or in the alternative
for a protective order concerning a subpoena duces
tecum which Ms. Amisi served on the South Dakota Highway
Patrol. See Docket No. 37. The presiding district
judge, the Honorable Lawrence L. Piersol, referred
defendants' motion to this magistrate judge for ruling.
See Docket No. 40.
Amisi's complaint stems from an incident which occurred
on January 15, 2014, involving Ms. Amisi, a minor at the
time, and defendant Tom Melick, an employee of defendant
SuTran, Inc. At its most basic, Ms. Amisi alleges Melick used
excessive force in breaking up a physical altercation of
which Ms. Amisi alleges she was the victim.
to working for SuTran, Melick was employed by the South
Dakota Highway Patrol from 1985 until 2002. In between the
Highway Patrol employment and Melick's employment with
SuTran, he held various jobs in sales, repossession, serving
process, driving bus, and in security. Dates for these other
jobs were not given. SuTran did not request or receive
Melick's personnel file from the Highway Patrol at the
time it hired Melick.
fall, Ms. Amisi served a subpoena duces tecum on the
Highway Patrol seeking a copy of Melick's personnel
file from his time as an employee of that entity. Defendants
objected and filed a motion to quash. See Docket No.
16. The parties reached a mutual agreement concerning that
subpoena and defendants' motion, so the court denied
the motion as moot. See Docket No. 24. Defendants
agreed to provide Ms. Amisi with a copy of Melick's
application for employment with the Highway Patrol and with
the civil and criminal case numbers of some litigation Melick
had been involved in. See Docket No. 38-4.
receiving this information, Ms. Amisi served defendants with
a request for the production of Melick's Highway Patrol
personnel file. See Docket Nos. 38-2, 38-3.
Defendants agreed to produce certain (unspecified) records
from that file, but not the entirety of the file.
See Docket No. 38, p. 2, ¶ 6.
April 7, 2016, Ms. Amisi again served the Highway Patrol with
a subpoena duces tecum seeking Melick's
personnel file. See Docket No. 38-1. The subpoena
seeks "a complete and comprehensive copy of the
personnel records of Trooper Tom Melick. The response to this
subpoena shall include but is not limited to any reports and
records of all internal investigations of the conduct of
Trooper Melick, whether on or off duty, any record concerning
the discharge of Trooper Melick's service weapon
whether on or off duty, counseling referrals, psychological
or psychosocial exams, tests [sic] results or reports,
including examiner's notes, any other disciplinary or
human resources investigation materials on file."
now move to quash the April 7 subpoena duces tecum.
Defendants argue that the information sought is too remote in
time from the incident forming the basis of Ms. Amisi's
claims to be relevant. Defendants also argue that the
information sought is not reasonably calculated to lead to
the discovery of admissible evidence and that the request is
overly broad. Defendants also argue Ms. Amisi is estopped
from seeking a copy of Merick's Highway Patrol
personnel file because on two prior occasions she entered
into agreements to accept less than the complete file.
Finally, defendants argue the subpoena seeks only to annoy
and embarrass Melick and, for that reason, is improper.
South Dakota Highway Patrol filed a response indicating it
supports defendants' motion to quash, but will abide by
any order the court may enter as to the subpoena. The Highway
Patrol points out that employee personnel files are protected
as confidential under state law.
Amisi notes that her negligence claims against SuTran and the
City of Sioux Falls center around those entities'
failure to properly hire, train, and supervise Melick. Thus,
Ms. Amisi asserts the information in Melick's personnel
file may be relevant if it shows facts which indicate Melick
was an inappropriate candidate for the position the other
defendants hired him to hold. It may also be relevant as to
whether Melick required special training or supervision
before being allowed to carry out his job duties for the
other defendants. Ms. Amisi believes the requested documents
may show Melick discharged his service revolver to shoot his
neighbor's dog and that the Highway Patrol fired Melick
or asked him to resign for improper actions on his part. Ms.
Amisi asserts that any concerns as to confidentiality are
assuaged by the protective order entered in this case.
parties in this case stipulated to the entry of a protective
order in this case. See Docket Nos. 29 and 32. Under
the terms of that order, "confidential
information" is defined as including specifically
"any document in Defendant Tom Melick's personnel
file from the South Dakota Highway Patrol." See
Docket No. 29 at p.2, ¶ 3. In the stipulation, the
parties agree that confidential information will only be used
for the purposes of this litigation. Id. at ¶
2. Confidential information may be produced only to counsel
of record for the parties, attorneys appearing in or working
on this litigation, including regular and temporary
employees, contractors and agents; experts or consultants
hired to assist in the preparation of this case by any
attorney in the case; photocopying, graphic production
services, computer services, or litigation support services
hired by the parties or their counsel to assist in the
litigation; parties' employees (current and former) and
agents for purposes related to this litigation; the court and
its staff; and any other person to whom the court authorizes
disclosure. Id. at pp. 2-3, ¶4.
the protective order, if confidential information is
disclosed to any person, that person must be told the
information is confidential and they must sign an
acknowledgement that they have been given a copy of the
protective order and agree to abide by its terms.
Id. at p. 3, ¶5. Inadvertent disclosure of
confidential information, including material protected by the
attorney-client privilege and the work-product doctrine, does
not waive confidentiality. Id. at ¶¶6, 7.
information submitted to the court must be filed under seal.
Id. at p. 4, ¶8. Any party may designate
material as confidential information. Id. at p. 5,
¶10. If the other party disputes the designation, the
disputing party must file a motion with the court and seek
the court's determination of confidentiality.
Id. The producing party need not produce the
document until the court resolves the issue. Id.
At the
end of this litigation, all confidential materials must be
destroyed or returned to the producing party. Id. at
¶11. The receiving party must certify to the producing
party that the materials were either destroyed or returned.
Id. The protective party allows any party to seek
even more protections for confidential information should
that be necessary. Id. at p. 5, ¶ 14.
Standards Applicable to Discovery
Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) sets forth the scope of
discovery in civil cases pending in federal court:
Unless otherwise limited by court order, the scope of
discovery is as follows: Parties may obtain discovery
regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any
party's claim or defense and proportional to the needs of
the case, considering the importance of the issues at stake
in the action, the amount in controversy, the parties'
relative access to relevant information, the parties'
resources, the importance of the discovery in resolving the
issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed
discovery outweighs its likely benefit. Information within
the scope of discovery need not be admissible in evidence to
be discoverable.
See Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1). Rule 26 contains specific
limitations relative to electronic discovery and other
objections to providing discovery:
(B) Specific Limitations on Electronically Stored
Information. A party need not provide discovery of
electronically stored information from sources that the party
identifies as not reasonably accessible because of undue
burden or cost. On motion to compel discovery or for a
protective order, the party from whom discovery is sought
must show that the information is not reasonably accessible
because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the
court may nonetheless order discovery from such sources if
the requesting party shows good cause, considering the
limitations of Rule 26(b)(2)(C). The court may specify the
conditions for the discovery.
(C) When Required. On motion or on its own, the
court must limit the frequency or extent of discovery
otherwise allowed by these rules or by local rule if it
determines that:
(i) the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative or
duplicative, or can be obtained from some other source that
is more convenient, ...

The Newport Beach developer is building a $50-million project in Fullerton that will be a multi-tasking Medical complex with doctors' offices and shopping mall in Southern California.
According to LeBeau patients will visit their medical center for a CT scan or a flu shot also stay for lunch or some shopping.They perhaps meet a friend for lunch or browse for skin-care products. To encourage browsing and eating, the doctors' offices will have small waiting rooms and patients will be given pagers that alert them when the doctor is ready to see them.
So far, the mall portion of Fullerton's 100,000-square-foot Providence Center is slated to house a modest pair of contemporary restaurants and a skin treatment spa, but LeBeau hopes to attract other convenience retailers, such as sunglass stores, cellphone shops and a gym.Renee Cobos, a dermatologist who signed a pre-lease for Providence Center and plans to open a clinic and a medical spa offering products and cosm
etic treatments, such as Botox and peels,said "I've been looking at several [lease] spaces and this is perfect," According toLeBeau ,the hospital would provide additional retail customers, but that it was the combination of retail and medical complex that made Providence Center unusual. "You've got a whole baby boomer generation that is going to see the doctor more often for preventive care nowadays," LeBeau said. "They are not necessarily sick patients."

Elite performance is determined by a number of factors, amongst them innate talent and genetics, hours of deliberate training, coaching, and luck. But performance is also great affected by what is between an athlete's ears: mindset. An athlete's state of mind is perhaps the single greatest factor that affects performance. In his great book The

The Armpit of American Youth Sports: "Friday Night Tykes"
Tuesday, 21 January 2014
The armpit is the part of the body that is dark, stinky, and unattractive. Everyone has one, but no one wants to see it or acknowledge it, and would rather cover it up and move on. The armpit of American youth sports is the culture of win-at-all-costs, uneducated, over the top coaches and parents who

The Surprising Story of Simon Kjaer: Why Talent Selection Does Not Always Work
Monday, 23 December 2013
In 2004, FC Midtjylland in Denmark set out to establish Scandinavia's first youth soccer academy. As a new club, it did not have the pick of the litter of Danish soccer talent, which went to bigger, far more established clubs. And as the coaches put together their first team, they were short one player. With

Our Biggest Mistake: Talent Selection Instead of Talent Identification
Monday, 09 December 2013
Many youth sports coaches claim to be great talent identifiers, and point to the results of their 11 year all star team as proof. Yet they are not talent identifiers. They are talent selectors. The difference could not be more striking, or more damaging to our country's future talent pool in many sports. Talent selection

California customers: Please click here foryour Proposition 65 warning.
Music Hall's Cruise Control is an outboard power supply and power regeneration center which provides ultra pure and stable power to Music Hall or Pro-Ject turntables. Replacing the stock power supply, the Cruise Control delivers incredibly precise power with very low distortion and the effect on the turntable is simply stunning; bass becomes incredbily tight and rhythmic, the midrange becomes silky smooth and the treble extends and opens up. Music flows with greater presence and weight, slight speed instabilities which previously went unnoticed are now gone and the purity of tone is absolutely entrancing. Adding a Cruise Control to your turntable is like moving up a model and upgrading your cartridge.
Other Features
The Cruise Control also has a couple of very cool features, for instance, push-button speed changes, no more belt changes to switch between 33 and 45rpm records*. For those looking for 78RPM capability, swapping out the pulley on the turntable allows the Cruise Control to switch between 33 and 78rpm. Either way, the Cruise Control delivers absolute control of platter speed with fine adjustments of ±0.1rpm, easily accomplished from the front panel. The quartz locked speed control provides outstanding speed stability with accuracy of ±0.0001% deviation.
* For proper operation, the Cruise Control requires the belt of the turntable be set to the larger diameter pulley.
The Cruise Control is designed to work with Music Hall and Pro-Ject turntables (except for MMF-9 and MMF-11 series), but it will also work with many turntables that use 120V AC synchronous motors. Please give us a call if you have questions about compatibility with your turntable.

"A significant constraint on realizing value from Big Data will be a shortage of talent, particularly of people with deep expertise in statistics and machine learning, and the managers and analysts who know how to operate companies by using insights from Big Data. We project a need for 1.5 million additional managers and analysts in the United States who can ask the right questions and consume the results of the analysis of Big Data effectively."- McKinsey Report
Data scientist job title is rising along the big data technology. It is an undeniable fact that data scientist or related roles such as data analysts, data engineers and statisticians are among the most sought after careers now. Attracted by the great compensation benefits, increased number of job opportunities and visibility to business leaders, professionals are heading towards the data scientist career path without much knowledge of the required business and technical skills, attitude and day to day responsibilities of a data scientist.
CLICK HERE to get the 2016 data scientist salary report delivered to your inbox!
Data Science is an extremely fun and challenging field to be in- data scientists are doing some pretty amazing things by playing with organizations' data to draw business insights. It is no surprise that many people are looking to find out the answer to the question- "How to program your way into data science?"
At DeZyre we have always believed that it is better to learn from Industry Professionals on how to get into the industry. We have organized a DeZyre InSync session to answer this specific question – "How to program your way into data science?"
We had the pleasure to invite Eeshan Chatterjee, Data Scientist at MEDIA iQ Digital Ltd. MEDIA iQ Digital is an analytics technology company that unlocks insights to help businesses drive growth. The analytic technology at MEDIA iQ helps in driving prediction at scale so that the buying outputs of a business can be improved across various campaigns. Eeshan is an integral part of the analytics research for the display advertisements space and digital marketing at MEDIA iQ.
You can click on the link below to listen to a recording of the recent webinar on "How to program your way into data science?" by Eeshan Chatterjee.
What is data in the business world?
If you can observe the data, record it, store it and measure it – and doing that will help drive business growth, then this can be termed as 'data in the business world' that is important to any organization.
What data does my business generate?
"Each and every department right from CEO's office to the janitorial division collects data."
Each and every department of an organization whether it is –Sales & Marketing, Production, Operations, Finance, HR department, Supply Chain or any other division of a business organization, generates data. The idea behind storing data collected from all the divisions of an organization is to get a wholesome picture of the business. This helps organizations to look at the business from various perspectives together and that's what is popularly known as "Data Science".
What is Data Science?
Data Science helps businesses look at things that were nearly impossible or difficult to look at earlier. Data science helps businesses analyse various aspects like-
- How does change in customer behaviour impact the business?
- How does change in the supply chain process impact marketing?
Data Science is a progressive step in various interdisciplinary subjects like business analytics that consists of modelling, mathematics, computer programming, statistics and data analytics. Data Science basically deals with using automated methods for analysing huge amounts of data to extract knowledge and meaningful insights from it.
Twitters' Sid Patil very well pairs up Data Science with the popular Blackjack Game, he says-
"Blackjack is the only game in the casino that has a memory. What happened in the past is indicative of what will happen in the future, and this is very much like the world of analytics. We're constantly trying to understand what has happened in order to understand the probability what might happen next, with varying amounts of certainty."
The HypeCycle and Data Science
Image Credit : gartner.com
Every new thing in the technology world goes through the hype cycle; data science is one among them and is widely accepted by all. As it is evident from the below Gartner HypeCycle, Data science started to climb up to the peak of inflated expectations in the hype cycle in 2014 and as of today it's right at the top. In future,the hyped up data scientists are going to do some great things with data which was not possible earlier like-
- How can an organization accelerate tomorrow's business?
- How does depending on data provide better results?
- How can businesses mine data in an effective manner?
" In tomorrow's business, big data can tell you more about your operations than your people alone."- says Emma Byrne
The Basics- How did we arrive at Data Science?
Businesses have always collected data and analysed it to make better business decisions, however business analytics has evolved exponentially since the 1970's
- The Era of Statistical Insight-In the era of statistical insight, businesses used to model metrics, measure KPIs and lot of time was spent in operations research. For instance, UPS has been a pioneer in using data for making effective business decisions to give better deliveries since 1970's.
- The Era of Business Intelligence- 10 years ago the era of business intelligence was ushered in through dashboards (dashboards are kind of static charts that don't allow any kind of interaction).Dynamic, frequent updates to those dashboards was not possible, but there was a need for real time data analysis - and then emerged business analytics.
- The Era of Data Science-The dashboards have evolved into cockpits which are interactive charts unlike the dashboards (dash-boring or dash-boredom). For instance, a marketing manager needs to talk to the charts by dynamically allocating dollars and see how it will affect the business reach or a production manager needs to see if changing the production life cycle will affect the final output. Distributed computation has become really huge in the era of data science. Intelligent systems have evolved as a core part of data science which requires training machines to make better business decision.
The only thing that has not changed since the 1970's is the motive to help businesses make better decisions.We are in an age where businesses talk to data at all times to make better business decisions.
The most important question is –"Can a statistician call himself a Data Scientist?" The answer is 'not exactly' - because the job role of a data scientist is diversified and demands a wider skill set. So what are the skills that need to be mastered. The most popular Venn diagram in the field of data science explains the amalgamation of skills professionals must possess, who want to enter the field of data science -
- He/she should be strong at Math and Statistics.
- He/she must be a subject matter expert in specific business domain – a person who knows the business very well.
- He/she must be technologically good with a computer programming background.
But is that true? Can we actually find professionals who possess all these skills? It is very difficult to find professionals who fit all the criteria mentioned. If by any luck, there are such brilliant people then why would they work for someone?
- A person who is relatively good at math and computer programming can be termed as a "Data Engineer".
- A person who is relatively good at math and possess strong business or domain knowledge can be termed as a "Business Analyst or a Requirements Analyst".
- A person who is relatively good at computer programming and possess some kind of business domain knowledge can be termed as a "Data Design Architect".
The job role of a data scientist is to bring in all these roles together i.e. striking a balance with the above skills along with good design thinking.
The popular Data Science Cheatsheet
Image Credit : datasciencecentral.com
The next most important question that bothers professionals yearning to enter the field of data science is – "Do Math and Business Acumen also require programming knowledge?" The answer is definitely 'yes'. If we look at the above, one cannot tick off 15% of the above checklist without programming. Once a person learns the fundamentals and basics of statistics, the cheatsheet shows a complete new field of programming that data scientists must learn to proceed further. Having learnt programming, the next step is to master machine learning which requires solving complex mathematical problems which would be difficult to solve manually-so the only solution is to write a program for solving the mathematical or statistical problem.Visualization is also an integral part of data science that requires coding using various data visualization tools. If we look at all the sections in the cheatsheet, it can be observed that all of them require some kind of programming or the other. The "Toolbox" in the cheatsheet summarizes the various skills a data scientist must master to program their way into data science.

Programming for Math-The Algo Whiz Codebook
- The first step is to choose a scripting language for programming math. The most popular choices that are available today are R language and Python Language.
- The next step is to look for the required packages. Both R language and Python Language have in-built packages freely available for almost all techniques that a data scientist might want to use today.
- Visualize the result through interactive plots that can be created by using the scripting languages.
R or Python –The debate settled
With R and Python Language having similar capabilities, it becomes difficult for data scientists to decide – as to which is a better choice of the scripting language.
Data Scientists should Choose R Language When-
- They are beginning to explore the data.
- They are developing analysis methodology or looking to find a onetime business insight.
- They want to explore a broad spectrum of techniques to find best ensembles to use.
- R is preferred over Python for complex data structures.
Data Scientists should Choose Python Language When-
- If a person has good understanding of the techniques and of the data they are working with then Python is a better choice.
- Python Language should be used when the analysis methodology is to be deployed on large scale production systems.
- Python Language is a better choice if you want to train deep models on GPU's.
Programming for Tech
For a data scientist, it is important to know the basics of C++ and Java as they form the backbone of all at-scale data systems.
When it comes to data in data science, programming for technology should be done on 4 general platforms-
1)Creating data platforms that ingest or manage data. These form the backbone of the data services.
2)The next step is to scale out or distribute data across multiple systems using Hadoop, YARN, Scala,and JADE (for multiple parallel analysis).
3)Having distributed the data, a data scientist must effectively process the data using low level subroutines written in C++.
4) Using GPU's for processing - which are written in C or C++ or making use of machine learning algorithms with millions of data points.
Programming for Business
This is the most interesting part of data science- the results of the analysis should be presented in a manner that can be easily understood by end users.
There are different libraries of visualization available like d3.js that allows data scientists to provide interactive charts for answering business questions intuitively.
- The node server in JavaScript should be used for pushing out real time updates that can help businesses make decisions based on the latest available information.
- The drill down capabilities and bird's eye provide multiple perspectives of a business for making well informed decisions without losing the context.
Design Thinking and Programming
A scientist approaches a problem with a very 'problem focused approach' whereas an architect approaches a problem with a 'solution based approach'. A scientist breaks down the problem and gets to the best solution whereas an architect does not think on the intricacies of the problem but just does multiple iterations to arrive at a nice solution to the problem.
Design Thinking is an elegant approach that combines the two approaches-break down and analyse the problem into sub parts and bits. Look at the ones that are important- categorize the wants and needs. "Wants" are the good to have parts and "Needs" are the cant do without parts. Then synthesize the best solution from multiple solutions possible.The entire concept of design thinking depends on a future goal and not a solution. Design Thinking is the ability to define a better goal irrespective of the problem – that means looking at the BIG PICTURE. The ability to define a state where the problem has been solved and the solution of the problem can be used in several other ways then the desired future state has been achieved. There are several roadblocks to reach the desired future state and data scientists need to come up with all the possible solutions by prototyping them. The last step is to develop an at scale solution for the prototype.

You've gone from this:
To this:
Over the course of this month you've flipped from front to back seven times, and back to front twice. "Tummy time" has you raising yourself up on your hands; elbows are so passé.
You'll clamour for us to help you sit up and stand.
You're totally curious about big people food. You've insisted on being held in our laps during mealtimes so that you can watch us eat. Sorry, bei, I'm totally not ready to deal with big people poop.
One evening the other week daddy was out late, so I called his cell phone and you left him an epically adorable voice message. The words were gibberish, of course, but the tones and inflections sounded eerily conversational. You deserve to be subtitled.
You play with your tongue, poking it out of your mouth for expressions that are extra squee.
You delight me.
the sleep conundrum
Posted 22 July 2012on:
- In: parenthood
- 5 Comments
In the first week of motherhood, I ventured to say that Ashelyn wasn't a difficult baby. (Of course, prior to her birth I'd scared myself by reading about "high criers" who screamed for eight hours every day.)
I still can't say that she's a difficult baby. Ashelyn is sweet and supremely happy. However, she doesn't sleep independently.
She sleeps on me. At night, when she's not hugging my torso, she's in bed beside me, because I've managed to flip her there without her waking.
We sleep okay. The pattern is one big chunk of sleep, then one or two smaller chunks. (Our best night was 8 hours, followed by another 2.5 hours.) I'm pro now at sleeping with a sleeping baby on my chest.
It's not that Ashelyn dislikes her crib. She rolls around like a tumbleweed and kicks up a storm and delivers orations in there. What she doesnt do is sleep.
During the day, she naps best while being held. Sometimes I'll use a sling. Sometimes I set her down, with mixed results. She's napped fairly successfully in her pillow, swing, even highchair. But more often than not she'll magically open her eyes as soon as she hits a foreign surface.
Yes, I've heard all about "putting her down drowsy but awake" so she can "self soothe." Great concept. Sounds good. Makes sense.
Except … once I put her down, she is no longer drowsy.
I don't want to stress over something that may not be all that important. Maybe Ashelyn isn't ready to self soothe, but she will be, in time. Until then, we'll carry on with what works for us. It's at most an inconvenience to me, but hey, never once have I felt like crying when the baby cries. That's how (relatively) well rested I've been.
dear ashelyn (3.5 months)
Posted 18 July 2012on:
It's been weeks since I've needed to change your diaper in the middle of the night! This has cut down our use of disposables to 1-3 a day, depending on whether we go out.
You've introduced us to the "tantrum cry." I don't believe you're old enough to actually throw tantrums, but you do arch your back and flail your limbs to impressive effect.
Speaking of flailing, you can kick so hard it shakes the whole crib.
You get SO EXCITED at your reflection in a mirror.
You're singing. When I sing to you, you chime in with a kind of half-hum, your brow crinkled in earnest concentration.
Sometimes in the middle of breastfeeding, you'll stop, look up at me, grin and coo. You're welcome.
You're grabbing at soft, easy-to-grasp things like fabric. You've gone from sucking on your fists to grabbing the front of your clothes with both hands and trying to cram everything in your mouth.
Clasping your hands together is your new favourite thing. Coupled with your ever-increasing library of facial expressions, it looks like you're delighted at something, pleading for something, or praying.
Not yet four months, and you're outgrowing some of your 3-6 month sleepers and onesies. To quote a friend: "How can such a skinny person grow such a fat baby?" (Hey, I was a fat baby too.)
You never did attempt to repeat the front-to-back flip after those two successes. However, you're now rolling from back to front three-quarters of the way, with just an elbow in the way of a full flip.
non-chord tones ftw

W: "Do you sing Ashelyn lullabies?"
D: "No, she sings her, like, jazz and stuff."
(True story. Because I have a bit of musical ADD. By the way, has it ever occured to anyone that "Rock-a-Bye Baby" is about a BABY FALLING OUT OF A TREE?)
working out that immune system
Posted 8 July 2012on:
On Tuesday morning Ashelyn woke up with the snufflies and a bit of a cough. She was also sneezing gunk out of her nose. Her first cold! Poor baby.
It confirmed my suspicions, because over the long weekend she'd been fussier than usual. Which is still not very fussy. But enough for us to wonder if she was teething. (As she's already biting on occasion, I sincerely HOPE NOT.)
Once the cold symptoms set in I expected increased crankiness, but instead Ashelyn mellowed down and was extra quiet all day. And extra sleepy, and extra hungry. Luckily, though her nose was stuffed up, it wasn't so bad that it interfered with her feeding. So she ate voraciously and napped, and in between became very "attachment child" on us, not wanting to be put down at all.
I called our doctor's office, but they weren't open until the following day. We went in on Wednesday just to confirm whether it was a cold (it was).
We had a conference last weekend at church, so Ashelyn was around a ton of people. She's popular and gets passed around a lot. Combine that with her newfound love of sucking on her fists and, well, hmmm.
We're doing well, though. The coughing and sneezing subsided in no time. All that's left is some snufflies. I never thought I'd be picking gunk out of my child's nose, but here I am. And it's oddly satisfying.
Because of her cold, I've postponed transitioning Ashelyn into the crib. Of course she would catch a virus just as I was meaning to do that. Sneaky little koala.
i stand corrected

Did I say Ashelyn wasn't rolling over yet? She must've heard me and thought, Oh yeah? I'll show you, mama! because this morning, she flipped from tummy to back in her crib.
I missed it, actually. I was getting dressed. All I heard was a bump as her shoulder (lightly!) hit the side rails, and when I turned, she was pressed up against them on her back.
Naturally I was all, "HEY!"
"What?" Kevin inquired from the office, probably thinking something was wrong. Probably thinking I'd found a silverfish under the bed. (Those things are gross, and they show up in our house from time to time.)
"She flipped over!"
He came in, and when he scooped Ashelyn back onto her tummy she rolled over again right away – flop – just like that, effortless.
Of course, when we broke out the camera and tried to film it (yes, we're lame that way) she wouldn't repeat the performance.

Airplane air
The only confession I ever heard was from the child sitting next to me one day. He let one rip as we started to get out of our seats to deboard, and his mother confronted him on it. He loudly admitted it was him, and giggled. And the surrounding passengers, who were all suffering from the odor, had to laugh too. Only a child could so innocently confess to such a thing; not even a cat lets on when it has passed gas. But a dog? They take it a step farther, they usually swing their head around and take a sniff at their back-end. With a dog there is never any doubt. Adults? We pretend it never happened, or we blame the dog.
Another cause of unpleasant odor on airplanes is people, usually men, who take off their shoes and then stick their feet up into the space between the seat in front of them. I would be quietly dozing with my head against the window when suddenly the smell of stinky feet would wake me up. Once I looked down and there was the foot almost on my armrest. I gave the foot an elbow but it continued to try to invade my space, so I finally put my purse into the gap to block access and odor. Men sitting in first class are the worst offenders.
And then we have the women who pollute the air with heavy perfume. It makes me feel sick when someone drenched in perfume sits near me - I'm allergic to perfume. I'm sure they think they smell great, but the only way I can tolerate them near me is to blow the vent at full force over my breathing space. Not to stereotype but it's usually woman with lots of little carry-on bags (often shopping bags) who have doused themselves.
The best smell on airplanes is in first class when they bake the chocolate chip cookies. I have been woken up from a dead sleep by the inviting smell of cookies, and even though I'm not hungry, you can bet I'm going to eat my cookie.
My days of first-class travel are over as I have lost any status I ever had on the airlines - status that gave me free upgrades and allowed me to enjoy comfy first-class seats, early boarding, and questionable meals. But that's ok - I'd rather have my feet on the ground than be up in the air confined in close quarters, breathing in the 'outputs' of strangers.

Sue, my friends who are flight attendants do what they call crop-dusting. If they have gas, they walk the aisles to let it escape. So . . . it may not be the passenger next to you! HA!
I have some Alaska points that I've found impossible to use in the last year. The only way to use them is first class on American to Cancun. So one of us will probably be flying first class this July while the other sits back in coach. (I'm hoping the one getting the cookies will be me?)

Sometimes one has to forgo class to get the laughs.
And really, is there a classy way to talk about tooting?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's olfactory senses where offended at one point of time.

Beck - I never thought of the flight attendants, hmmm, guess that would be the best solution for them, lol! And American Airlines were the ones that served the cookies. Going east/west in the summer they also served hot fudge sundaes - such a nice treat on a plane. Enjoy!!
Tanis - thanks for visiting! I love your blog and no, writing about 'tooting' (gee, I didn't know other people still called it that, it's what I was raised to call it), probably isn't classy, but yeah - to me it's funny. Thanks for the belly laughs today, it was a great way to start the day. Hope you're feeling better!

Many of you have talked with me about how you're paid, your resentment when lower-level employees earn more than you do, and your discomfort about asking a family member or a non-family executive for a raise. So in this Ask Amy column, I'll share some ideas about a situation that many of you may face. I'm sure I'll focus on this challenge many times, since it's an important issue and the way it's handled can vary from business to business, and of course, from family to family.
Dear Amy,
I have worked in my family's business for three years, and I deserve a raise. But every time I try to talk about it with my dad, he says, "You have nothing to worry about." And as a result, nothing happens. It's very frustrating.
I don't think there's one answer to this question, or one way to ask for a raise from a family member. Your dad probably does feel that as a family member, you are secure. And he may have a succession plan in mind for you, even if you're currently in the dark about it. But like any hard-working person, you want to feel that you are earning your salary, not that it's completely unrelated to your performance, competence, and effort.
I applaud you for asking your dad for a raise. Getting clear about the value you add to the business and asserting your worth is part of becoming a mature adult – even if your first efforts are not successful. It's healthy to want to know where you stand.
So I would try again, perhaps with a different approach. Many family businesses, particularly small ones, don't have a well-defined system for career development and the salary increases that typically come with a promotion. You may need to educate your dad about how non-family businesses assess and reward their employees. Other employees in the business may be feeling the same kind of ambiguity about their own compensation, which may leave them feeling resentful and less motivated. So as you make your case, make it for the sake of the business, not just for yourself.
BUT… be sure to make the case for yourself as well.
Here are some suggestions:
1). Explain to your dad that like many people, you are trying to plan for your future, and that means getting a good sense of your financial situation. Tell him you are not worried; rather, your intention is to be a responsible adult.
2). Share your understanding of the goals of the business, and demonstrate (with metrics if possible), how you have contributed to its success. Be specific. Your dad may not be paying attention.
3). If you think he can hear it, explain to your dad that many women, like you, are becoming successful leaders in their family's business. And that means that they are becoming knowledgeable and engaged in financial side of the business. Depending on your dad's age and experience, this may be a new insight for him. Help him see that he can be like other progressive leaders who understand the value daughters can bring to a business, and rewards them for it.
4). Finally, and this is a tough one… be open to the possibility that your dad doesn't think you deserve a raise, but is uncomfortable explaining why. His reasoning may be difficult to accept; on the other hand, his feedback may help you see ways to improve your performance.
The goal here is for you to present yourself as an ambitious, committed, and self-confident professional.
If you've had a successful experience asking for a raise, please let me know so I can share your story with others!

Remember today, for today is poignant.
This series of photographs is intended to reflect the idea of poignancy, and of silent remembrance.
Photo #1: The old, beat-up car has outlived your father.
Photo #2: If the woman you love leaves now, are you certain of her return?
Photo #3: Perhaps hearing the sound of gentle waves lapping against the rocks were a favourite date activity in the past. You are now standing atop those same rocks, but this time, you are alone.
Photo #4: The attic where you used to play with your brothers and sisters has fallen into ruin, just like the strained relationships between you siblings now.
Photo #5: Notice how the chair at the forefront seems to stand out? It is strikingly, and blatantly empty; just like the lost presence of a once revered colleague or boss, who was at the same time, your best friend.
Photo #6 and #7: These two photographs are intended to wrap up this series in a positive light. Both pictures convey the idea of seeing a light at the end of the tunnel that you've been walking, perhaps for far too long.
There is a vibe of positivity embedded in these photos. It doesn't strike you at first glance; but just like life, you sometimes need to look a little harder to find that shred of goodness.

Today, consumers expect personalized experiences from brands, regardless of channel. The promotional emails they actually open and read should feel as customized as the service they receive at stores they frequent. Yet according to a recent Segment study, only 22% of consumers are satisfied with the degree of personalization they receive from marketers. What are we, as marketers, getting wrong? How can we be better at giving people what they want?
The Buyer Persona Only Gets You So Far
Savvy, results-oriented marketers are deliberate and thorough in defining their buyer personas in order to inform their marketing campaign decisions. For instance, we'll invest in data analysis to provide intelligence around behavioral trends, likelihood of interest, and demographics, to name a few. We may hold focus groups to understand the nuances in personal preferences and psychology of buying. Internal surveys may illuminate challenges, concerns, or trends apparent to the people who interact with customers directly. And the list goes on.
Understanding the buyer persona helps us determine the marketing channels we choose to use, the specific messages we broadcast, and audiences who will see those messages.
With so much emphasis and effort dedicated to identifying and understanding the target customer and then orchestrating the campaigns and corresponding messaging, we would hope that message is getting to just the right audience for the greatest ROI and campaign revenue.
Marketers Aren't Targeting Who They Think They're Targeting
Unfortunately, it's easy for B2C marketers to overlook discrepancies between the buyer persona, the campaign messaging, and the individuals their campaign actually reaches. One reason this happens is that we're often targeting consumers with data that's based on their personal-level attributes alone.
For example, say you're selling a smart baby monitor and you want to target tech-savvy, working, young parents who value innovation. You might use your data provider to pull together a custom segment that includes individuals who fall under these categories:
- Lives in one of the top five major U.S. cities
- Between 27 and 40 years old
- Recently purchased two or more baby-related products
This is a pretty targeted audience segment. But to really hone in on an audience likely to buy, it's helpful to know their job title, industry, and workplace. Those data points will give you a better idea of their income bracket and thus their willingness to invest in a smart baby monitor and tell their network about how much they love it.
With that in mind, here are a few more attributes to layer in:
- Job roles in product, marketing, or engineering
- Mid- to senior-level job titles
- Employed at the world's fastest growing tech companies
Your marketing can pay dividends by adding in this information about what your audience is doing during the other half of their waking hours.

Day 182 – Ken here (F)(3-12-2010)
(DEF II, v.3, ch.30, pp.130-140)(pages read: 1230)
Not feeling so hot today, so a brief day.
We come to the long, slow and obvious decline of Rome in the West. It is 403/404 and the troops are moved out of Britain, never to return in strength, moved out of the frontiers of Gaul and Germany, and sent to Italy to defend Honorius, who moves the capital permanently to Ravenna (buried deep in the swamps and considered more defensible) and away from Rome forever. Skeleton forces are sent back, but the frontiers are undefended. From this point on the Dark Ages are already recognizable, and the new Europe is taking form. The empire is effectively gone, in the West, except on the law books.
The end of an empire often goes out with a whimper rather than a thunderous clash of opposing armies. Romans left Northern Europe after 400 years of occupation and then, rule under the empire in an unlikely scenario no one would probably have expected. Italy, besieged by Visigoths, is "saved" by the great Roman General Stilicho (a Vandal by race, but Roman by culture) when Stilicho pulls all remaining Roman troops guarding the borders back down into Italy to create one last Roman army to deal with the Visigothic invader Alaric. The troops never made it back to their posts in strength. Troops had been pulled out before, especially during civil wars, but everyone always expected they would be sent back after the emergencies were over. It had to happen that one time, they wouldn't. This is that time. They never went back. The frontiers were not defended. Effective military control of Britain, Northern France and Germany ended in 403/404. This is one milestone that can be identified on the journey from Roman Empire to States of Europe: the end of military occupation.
This from GIbbon:
The barbarians, perhaps some tribes of the Alemanni, respected the firmness of a chief who still assumed the language of command; and the choice which he condescended to make of a select number of their bravest youth was considered as a mark of his esteem and favour. The cohorts, who were delivered from the neighbouring foe, diligently repaired to the Imperial standard; and Stilicho issued his orders to the most remote troops of the West, to advance, by rapid marches, to the defence of Honorius and of Italy. The fortresses of the Rhine were abandoned; and the safety of Gaul was protected only by the faith of the Germans, and the ancient terror of the Roman name.
Even the legion which had been stationed to guard the wall of Britain against the Caledonians of the North was hastily recalled, and a numerous body of the cavalry of the Alani was persuaded to engage in the service of the emperor, who anxiously expected the return of his general. The prudence and vigour of Stilicho were conspicuous on this occasion, which revealed, at the same time, the weakness of the falling empire. The legions of Rome, which had long since languished in the gradual decay of discipline and courage, were exterminated by the Gothic and civil wars; and it was found impossible without exhausting and exposing the provinces, to assemble an army for the defence of Italy.
(DEF II, v.3, p.132)
The Theodosian Code is a summary of edicts of Roman emperors, used for study and to provide a guide for judges and lawyers to decide points of law based upon the published laws of previous emperors. Each law is dated and is located by the city in which it was proclaimed. After 404, no laws are made anywhere in the empire except from Ravenna and Constantinople (not Milan, not Rome, not Thessalonica, not a castra or frontier camp, or any other provincial city). We have truly entered a new era, the old empire is gone, and the new has taken its place.
This, from a footnote in Gibbon:
Note 063
From the year 404 the dates of the Theodosian Code became sedentary at Constantinople and Ravenna. See Godefroy's Chronology of the Laws, tom. i. p. cxlviii., etc.
(DEF II, v.3, p.141, fn.63)

Have you ever been assertive and not a milk toast to
maybe a doctor you didn't like or questioned?
It was yesterday when that happened and 16 years ago when they misdiagnosed me with something awful that had to do with walking and movement . They wanted to put me on all these drugs but I said "Noooooo". I'm still walking and it turned out to be nothing they said it was. I'm still walking against the scrupulous idiots.
It was yesterday and a meeting of mine got cancelled. And right now I am fine lining about how much to say here. But one of hubs doctors came in and said something and I gave him a piece of my mind in a severe get real way. What he said was very off!
Finally!!! I'm proud of myself. I am no church chat fake milk toast that believes everything. I am not naive. Many docs are money hungry and need to be stopped before causing more damage. Because I've been married 18 years, and I love my hub I will give privacy to the issue for a while. I will Not say what it is because of this.
How I wish I could print those bad words here. Some of you churchy folks need to get a life and a career and a brain and use it.
It is not about socialized medicine or Obama care, it is about doctors knowing what they are doing! There are bad doctors who are very greedy.
I'm 95 percent not sorry for doing what I did. I'm 53 years old and don't do everything those church fools say that I should do. I'm anti scrupulous and will remain so!
Got that?!

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Many of us will be making resolutions for the new year. It's common for those resolutions to be related to physical fitness or weight loss. There are some other helpful tips for making 2019 a healthy one for you and your family.
The American Medical Association recommends knowing your blood pressure numbers. If you have high blood pressure, make sure you get it under control to reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
You should also cut back on processed foods and replace sugary drinks with water.
Finally, if you smoke, make 2019 the year you quit for good and declare your home and car a smoke-free area.

Periodically, the latest major fraud hits the headlines as other organisations sit back and watch, telling themselves that 'it couldn't happen here.' But the reality is that fraud can happen anywhere. While only relatively few major frauds are picked up by the media, huge sums are lost by all kinds of businesses as a result of the high number of smaller frauds that are committed....

OKLAHOMA CITY – Authorities arrested a man on several counts of rape and lewd acts after a child came forward with allegations of sexual abuse.
In June, officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department were notified about the allegations.
According to the arrest affidavit, the victim told her mother that 35-year-old Martine Balderas had touched her "intimate parts" when she was just 10-years-old.
When the victim's mother pressed for more information, the victim told her that Balderas "put his private parts in my private parts" but refused to tell her anything else.
The victim's mother called police and said that she was concerned that Balderas would flee to Mexico if he found out that he was being investigated.
Balderas was arrested on three counts of indecent or lewd acts with a child under 16 and four counts of first-degree rape.

Edmonton's Plan for Affordable Housing
Cornerstones was City Council's five-year plan (2006-2010) to increase the number of long term affordable housing units and advocate for increases in income supports and support services funding for lower income Edmontonians in need of housing.
On November 20, 2012, Mayor Stephen Mandel joined Cornerstones partners and Sustainable Development General Manager Gary Klassen in City Hall to proclaim Housing Week and to celebrate the success of the Cornerstones program. From 2006 to 2011, Cornerstones helped Council create and upgrade 553 secondary suites and over 3,300 safe and affordable homes for citizens.
A second phase of the successful Cornerstones program, Cornerstones II, is now underway for 2012-2016. Cornerstones II includes another five-year secondary suite grant program, as well as the Curb Appeal Program.
