Cannot activate Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it says the key is bad
Original title : Flight Simulator X Won't Activate
Running Windows 7 (64-bit).
Purchased online and downloaded Flight Simulator X.
It downloaded as a 32-bit.
Does that matter? Because when I try to play it, it sends me to the activation page.
When I type in the key, it gives me an error that the installation
is bad, and to reinstall or contact microsoft.
Tired of reinstalling, I finally contacted Microsoft and have been getting the run-around! I've already paid for this freaking game and can't use it! How can this be fixed? And considering that the download
itself is bad, why can't Microsoft just SEND ME THE GAME?????!!!!!!??????

CT scan - orbital
Alternative names
Orbit CT scan
An orbital CT scan is a procedure that uses computed tomography to examine the orbits (the eye sockets) and the globes (the eyes).
How the test is performed
A contrast dye may be injected into a vein before the test.
You lie on a table that can be moved by the technician operating the scanner. Only your head is positioned inside the CT scanner. The exam usually lasts no more than a few minutes.
You may be allowed to rest your head on a pillow, but this must be done before the scan begins.
How to prepare for the test
You must sign an informed consent form. Remove dentures, any jewelry, and anything metal.
Infants and children:
The physical and psychological preparation you can provide for this or any test or procedure depends on your child's age, interests, previous experiences, and level of trust. For specific information regarding how you can prepare your child, see the following topics as they correspond to your child's age:
- Infant test or procedure preparation (birth to 1 year)
- Toddler test or procedure preparation (1 to 3 years)
- Preschooler test or procedure preparation (3 to 6 years)
- School age test or procedure preparation (6 to 12 years)
- Adolescent test or procedure preparation (12 to 18 years)
How the test will feel
The most discomfort arises from the need to lie still on the table during the scan. The scan itself is painless.
Why the test is performed
This test is helpful in diagnosing a lesion or other disease which affects the tissues around the eyes, sinuses, optic nerves (nerves supplying the eyes), or eye muscles and vessels. As well, subtle fractures of the orbits can be detected.
What abnormal results mean
- Graves' disease
- Lesions
- Tumor
- Hemorrhage
What the risks are
The amount of radiation in a CT scan is minimal. There may be some concern for nursing or pregnant women. However, the benefits of the scan generally outweigh any risk to the fetus or newborn.
Special considerations
The contrast dye may cause adverse reactions in some patients. These reactions may include headache, nausea, and vomiting.

Massive International Fraud and Money Laundering Conspiracy Detailed in Federal Grand Jury Indictment that Charges 80 DefendantsThe United State "federal prosecutors" on Thursday, unsealed dozens of indictments after 17 people were arrested and taken into custody in Los Angeles and elsewhere in the United States. Most of the remainder of those indicted were believed to be in Nigeria, the US Justice Department said.
The Department of Justice statement, reads:
"A 252-count federal grand jury indictment unsealed today charges 80 defendants, most of whom are Nigerian nationals, with participating in a massive conspiracy to steal millions of dollars through a variety of fraud schemes and launder the funds through a Los Angeles-based money laundering network. "The indictment was unsealed after law enforcement authorities this morning arrested 14 defendants across the United States, with 11 of those arrests taking place in the Los Angeles region. Two defendants were already in federal custody on other charges, and one was arrested earlier this week. The remaining defendants are believed to be abroad, with most them located in Nigeria.
"The indictment alleges that the 80 defendants and others used various online fraud schemes – including business email compromise (BEC) frauds, romance scams, and schemes targeting the elderly – to defraud victims out of millions of dollars.
"This case is part of our ongoing efforts to protect Americans from fraudulent online schemes and to bring to justice those who prey upon American citizens and businesses," said United States Attorney Nick Hanna. "Today, we have taken a major step to disrupt criminal networks that use BEC schemes, romance scams and other frauds to fleece victims. This indictment sends a message that we will identify perpetrators – no matter where they reside – and we will cut off the flow of ill-gotten gains."
"Today's announcement highlights the extensive efforts that organized criminal groups will engage in to perpetrate BEC schemes that target American citizens and their hard-earned assets," said Assistant Director in Charge Paul Delacourt of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office. "Billions of dollars are lost annually, and we urge citizens to be aware of these sophisticated financial schemes to protect themselves or their businesses from becoming unsuspecting victims. The FBI is committed to working with our partner agencies worldwide to continue to identify these cyber criminals and to dismantle their networks". "Iro and Igbokwe essentially were brokers of fraudulent bank accounts. According to the indictment, Iro and Igbokwe collected bank accounts, fielded requests for bank account information, provided that information to co-conspirators around the world, and laundered the money obtained from victims – all of this in exchange for a cut of the money stolen from victims of the various fraud schemes. "If a bank account with a specific business name was required to trick a business-victim into making a payment, Iro and Igbokwe often coordinated with "money mules" to open accounts that could receive funds obtained, according to court documents. In addition to making the fake business name mirror the name of a legitimate company, members of the conspiracy routinely filed fictitious business name statements with the Los Angeles County Registrar/Recorder's Office that were presented to banks when the fraudulent accounts were opened.
"Additionally, Iro, Igbokwe, Ikogho, Ogungbe and three other defendants –Izuchukwu Kingsley Umejesi, 30, of Los Angeles, Tityaye Marina Mansbangura, 33, of Palmdale, and Obi Madekwe, 31, of Nigeria – are charged with operating illegal money transmitting businesses. Ogungbe and Mansbangura were also among those arrested this morning, and Umejesi is a fugitive currently being sought by authorities. "Iro, Igbokwe and Chuks Eroha, 39, face additional charges for attempting to destroy their phones when the FBI executed a search warrant in July 2017. Iro also is charged with lying to the FBI in an interview conducted during the search. The complaint alleges that, when the FBI arrived to conduct the court-authorized search at Iro's apartment in Carson, Iro broke his phone in half, while Igbokwe and Eroha threw phones from a bedroom window of the apartment. While Iro claimed he previously had broken the phone during an argument with his wife, the complaint details how the FBI was able to determine that the phone was operational until seconds after the FBI knocked on Iro's apartment door to execute the search warrant. Eroha is believed to have fled to Nigeria shortly after the FBI executed the warrant.

02 May IPCPR Submits Comment to FDA Draft Guidance
Earlier this week, IPCPR submitted a comment to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Draft Guidance: "Modifications to Compliance Policy for Certain Deemed Tobacco Products", which proposes to modify the current compliance policy in several significant respects for certain electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and flavored cigar products.
The IPCPR position states that:
- The current FDA approach to flavored tobacco products will not achieve the desired outcome of keeping tobacco and nicotine products out of the hands of teenagers;
- The definition of "flavors" is entirely too vague and is therefore impossible to understand or comply with;
- The change of product sell through time (for those products that do not meet the standards) is much too short at 30 days, as premium products average over 100 days to sell.

It's often hard to find the time to put on a bit of make-up, but when you do you always feel better, don't you?
You don't need an excuse to put on a bit of lippy other than to feel good about yourself so whether you're on the school run, at home or going to work – try and find time to do something with your face.
If you're going back to work or to an interview being well presented, smartly dressed and fresh faced will give a good impression of being organised and efficient at your job. If you've got into the habit of not wearing any make-up while you've been at home, you might be tempted to go out and fill up your make-up bag with new bright and glittery products to reinvent yourself. This is a great idea to pep you up for your days off and nights out but you want your first impression in interview to be what you say about yourself not your garish make-up. So keep it simple for the workplace and let your CV do the talking instead of your thick eyeliner!
But this doesn't mean you can't be creative with an office look. Make-up Artist Sarah Grainger says "A bold lipstick can look confident and chic so long as the fail safe rule is remembered: dramatic lips, neutral eyes. This rule also works reversed; however dramatic eyes in the workplace are usually a no-no."
Unless heavy eye make-up is done well – which is hard to pull off with your mascara in one hand, your breakfast in the other and a child who won't have their teeth brushed under your arm – it's probably best left for an evening out.
If you feel clueless when it comes to make-up, you might want to consider investing in group or private tuition with a make-up artist who can give you professional impartial advice on what suits your face. Years and fashions (not to mention your hair colour!) may have passed since you last bought an eye-shadow. It's also a good opportunity for you to spend some quality time with yourself, close your eyes and be pampered!
Time is precious whether you're a working mum or a stay at home mum, so you need to ensure quick and simple make-up application that will still leave you looking fabulous! So if your make-up bag is harbouring a foundation from your teenage years it's time to have a clear out. Here are some tips for simple make-up.
Eye shadow
Stick to a neutral eye colour which will brighten your eyes and make you look awake (even if you're not!). Finish with a quick coat of black mascara.
Tinted moisturiser
Tinted moisturiser is a quick one stop shop to give the impression of a fresh and healthy look which will help cover any uneven skin tone or blotchiness.
Powder compact
If you're prone to shiny skin choose a powder with a yellow rather than a pink undertone – even if you do have pinky skin – or a translucent powder suits most skin tones. Try to apply with a powder brush which gives a more even covering.
Get a matte blusher close to your natural blushing cheek shade. Stila lip and cheek stain is a good, quick non-drying solution for both lips and cheeks.
Sarah Grainger says "Lip stains are a great no fuss option as are glosses for their quick re-application. When choosing lipsticks stick to matte
shades. You do have more scope for expressing yourself with your choice of lip colour, personally I love pinky nudes for day time. If you're going out after work you can glam it up with a layer of gloss."
Or if it doesn't feel like a lipstick kind of a day use a shiny lip balm like Lucas' Papaw Ointment or Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream which will give you shine and moisture at the same time.
Top Tips for simple make-up:
- Choose good quality products which will last longer to avoid having to touch up your make-up halfway through the day.
- Try products like tinted moisturisers and lip and cheek tints which will save you time and keep your make-up bag lighter.
- Sarah Grainger says "Remember, at work your make-up should enhance who you are as a person, not define you. You want to be noticed for your ability to do your job, not for those extra-long spider lashes!"

Back in November of 2010, Chatsworth Products, Inc. (CPI) told you about Anixter's ipAssured for Data Centers Program. Now, we're pleased to join our global distribution partner as they kick off a series of seminars covering the topic of ipAssured: Converged Infrastructure Solutions for Data Centers. These events will be held throughout the U.S. and Canada at select premium movie theaters and focus on the continual convergence of data centers in today's industry.
Over the last decade, the transformation of enterprise networks through the innovative use of technology has allowed voice, video and data systems to be seamlessly integrated for improved management and increased cost effectiveness. As network infrastructure systems continue to consolidate into a single Ethernet protocol environment and physical security becomes more crucial to a data center's design, Anixter's message of secure and sustainable data centers in 2011 is both timely and relevant - not to mention a perfect fit with the wide variety of CPI solutions that help support system integration.
Continuing with the premium theater theme, Anixter will screen a self-produced movie at each event, featuring industry experts speaking on best practices and procedures for data center build-outs. Also new this year - a reception and meet-and-greet with leading manufacturers, including CPI.

We are not at the beginning of the process, but there is a long way to go. The original five-person Board has done the work to create a Charter and budget planning, and to take those documents through Idaho state review. As I'm joining the Board, the revised Charter (responding to comments from the state) is before the Moscow School Board who are in their 60-day review period. The review will end in a public hearing on accepting the Charter (or not). Once accepted, the fun really begins.
Aware that this project is public in nature and that some documents and information need to be managed in a confidential way, I am launching a new section of the blog with updates, action you can take, and background information. RSS feeds of these are available, a page about all RSS from this site will help you know how to subscribe.
The topics:
- Updates: Informational updates on the status of ongoing, or newly launched activities. Reports on milestones.
- Action: Invitations to specific action you can take to advance the cause of the school. Public Meetings to attend, letters to write, work parties to join.
- Background: General background information on Charter schools, school choice, resources, Experiential Learning/Outward Bound (ELOB) model, rubrics and assessment.

BEN. This wind you talk of blows us from ourselves!
Supper is done, and we shall come too late.
ROMEO. I fear too early; for my mind misgives,
Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels; and expire the term
Of a despised life, closed in my breast,
By some vile forfeit of untimely death:
But he that hath the steerage of my course
Directs the sail!
The noon of the succeeding day saw me several miles from the Castle of
Kourouk, and pursuing the rugged old Tartar highway that was to conduct
me to Yekaterinoslav, under the escort of Trebitski's Cossacks, about a
hundred of whom, armed with sabres, pistols, and lances, and carrying
their forage, food, and in most instances, plunder, rode in double file
on each side of a train of _kabitkas_, which were filled with sick and
wounded Russian soldiers, and, in a few instances, I saw Frenchmen among
Every jolt of those wretched waggons over the rough and rocky roads
caused wounds to burst out afresh; groans and curses rose in the air,
and blood was soon oozing or dripping through the salt-encrusted
planking on the dusty highway.
These _kabitkas_ are Tartar waggons, which are driven in vast numbers to
Perecop for the conveyance of the salt, which, in the dry season—from
June till August—lies on the plains or steppes so thick that they are
usually driven axle-deep among it for loading.
A number of these waggons had been improvised by General Baur for
ambulance purposes; and now I found myself seated in one, among some
bloody and dirty straw, with three severely wounded men of the 45th, or
Tambrov regiment, and a French officer, whose face was half hidden by a
large bandage, discoloured by the blood of a sword-wound, which had laid
open his right cheek.
Intent upon escape, I looked earnestly and constantly before me; but we
were now traversing an undulating plain, that was dotted by a few trees,
of strange aspect, and the flocks of the Nomadic Tartars. And as the
path dipped down over an eminence, I took a last farewell, but certainly
not "fond look," of Kourouk, with its two burnished domes, which
glittered brightly in the sunshine, while the Mountain of the Tent
looked faint and blue in distance.
Trebitski, the Cossack officer, had conceived, I knew why, a personal
animosity for me; and ever and anon, as if he would anticipate any
attempt on my part to escape, he hovered about the _kabitka_ in which I
was reclining, and recoiling in disgust from the grey-coated Muscovites
who lay beside me, and whose presence made the air redolent of Stamboul
tobacco, bloody bandages, and the Russian leather of their clumsy boots
and coarse accoutrements.
One of the first acts of the pitiful Trebitski was to deprive me of a
small basket of rations—cold fowl, wine, &c.—provided for me by the
kindness of Vladimir Dahl and Captain Anitchoff, and to substitute in
their place a meagre allowance of the black bread, salt, and _vodka_
used by the half-barbarian escort.
I determined to report this petty theft on reaching his head-quarters;
but where were they?
At Yekaterinoslav, on the banks of the Dnieper, in the territory of the
Cossacks of Azof, far over the desert plains that lie beyond the Isthmus
of Perecop, whose vast fortress bars the way from the Crimea to the
mainland of Europe.
My blood boiled up with vengeance against Berkeley, my betrayer, and my
entire soul revolted at the prospect of such a heartless and hopeless
journey, with a doubtful termination—a captivity, the end of which none
could foresee; and the desire—a deep, clamorous, and heart-burning
desire—of escape at any hazard grew strong within me; but I was without
weapon, money, or a horse.
Oh, that I had but five minutes' start, with such an animal under me as
that ridden by Trebitski, which was a beautiful and powerful Arab, whose
actions were full of lightness and grace!
To increase my annoyance, this bearded commander got tipsy more than
once on brandy and absinthe; and then he would shake his crooked sabre
at me with many "strange oaths," of which I could make nothing; but I
thought that, if some of those "wives and daughters of England," who
think foreigners so interesting, had been with us in the Crimea, their
ideas of continentals might have changed in favour of their more prosaic
"_Ouf! pst! pst!_" I heard the wounded Frenchman muttering, as he raised
himself from an uneasy doze, and looked about him with one eye, that
glared wildly, for bandages concealed the other. "But for this devilish
Crimean business, I should have been flirting in the Bois de Boulogne,
lounging in the Gardens of the Tuileries, eating ices at Tortoni's, or
drinking lemonade at a café chantant with la belle Rogolboche. _Pst!
pst! c'est le diable!_" Then, addressing himself to me, he said, "_Ah,
le Cossaque!_—yon devil of a Trebitski—is a shocking ruffian—a veritable
brigand! Luckily, the Russian savage does not understand a word we say.
He has stolen your rations, and left you—pah! what a dog wouldn't eat;
but I have something better, and you shall dine with me."
"I thank you, monsieur," said I.
"Comrades in glory, we shall be friends in misfortune!" exclaimed the
Frenchman, with great emphasis. While he ran on thus, something in his
voice seemed familiar to me.
"You are, monsieur—you are——"
"Exactly, my friend; Victor Baudeuf, at your service—Captain of the
French line."
"I thought you were killed at Alma!"
"Only half killed, as you may see. Pardieu! but who told you so?"
"Mademoiselle Sophie."
"The vivandière of the 2nd Zouaves?"
"Ah! she had always a spite at me—that dear little Sophie. You should
see her riding at the head of the 2nd, with her canteen slung over her
shoulder, and a cigarette between her little fingers, and a saucy
twinkle in her bright eyes as she sings—
"Vivandière du régiment
C'est Catin qu'on me nomme,
Je vends, je donne, et bois gaiment
Mon vin et mon rogomme.
"I hope she may escape all this wild work, and see our beautiful France
again. No, monsieur, I was not killed, but most severely wounded—left
for dead—and thus fell into the hands of these beastly fellows. I
remember you now, monsieur. We often met at Varna, at the Restaurant de
l'Armée d'Orient. A droll den it was! And you remember Jules
Jolicoeur, of the 2nd Zouaves. Poor Jules! A round shot finished him
at Alma. He has gone to his last account. Heaven rest him! You are a
Scotsman, I believe, though I always took you for a Jean Boule—à
_biftek_; and so you shall dine with me. '_Fier comme un Ecossais_,' is
still a proverb among us in France, in memory of the old times, which
our Zouaves are about to renew, I think; for they boast themselves '_les
Ecossais de l'Armée Française_,' and fraternize like brothers with your
sans culotte regiments, in what you call 'lakeelt.'"
All this sounded so like some of Toole's "French before breakfast," that
I could almost have laughed at my garrulous friend, who produced from a
small havresack, which he opened with his left hand—the right being
severely shattered by a grape shot—one of those _pâtés de foies gras_
for which Strasbourg is so famous; made from the livers of geese, after
the poor birds have undergone a process there is no use in detailing
here. Heaven knows how M. Baudeuf came by it, but the pâté, with his
biscuit, he divided very liberally with me, and with the three wounded
Russians, who shared with us the soft comforts of the _kabitka_, and
whose glances of hungry appeal there was no resisting.
Aware that they knew not a word we were saying, we conversed freely; and
I told the Frenchman that, as no parole had been offered us, we should
escape together. He replied that the hazard was great; yet that he
would have shared it with me, but for his shattered hand, which made him
every way so helpless. He wished me every success, and gave me secretly
a little map of the Crimea, which he had concealed in the lining of his
tattered uniform; and this on every occasion I studied intently.
"Mutilated as I am, it is of no use to me," said he; "but may serve you,
_mon camarade_, at a pinch."
It was small, and by Huot and Demidoff; but was extremely correct.
On our arrival at Karasu-bazar, sixteen or eighteen miles from Kourouk,
I was separated from this pleasant Frenchman. I never saw him again, and
have too much reason to fear that he perished amid the horrors of a
catastrophe which ensued subsequently.
It was evening when, after traversing a pleasant valley, we entered
Karasu-bazar, so slow had been the progress of our primitive train of
cars, with their melancholy load of human suffering. Situated on the
Karasu, an affluent of the Salghir, this town is the great wine and
fruit mart of the Crimea; and there a strange rabble of Tartars in short
jackets, with open sleeves, high caps, and high boots; Greeks in scarlet
fez and baggy blue breeches; Russians, with fur caps and canvas
doublets, trimmed with fur; and Armenians, in long, flowing garments,
crowded around us.
These escorted us through the narrow and tortuous streets in the dusk.
To attempt an escape there would be futile, notwithstanding that the
Tambrov uniform which I wore seemed to favour the idea.
Darkness set in. We were closely guarded; and now I heard the shrill,
vicious whistle of a railway engine, and found the train of _kabitkas_
halted near some wooden booths, where the wires and posts of a
telegraph, a platform, and covered passenger shed, with other familiar
features of the usual kind, indicated a railway station!
In fact, we had reached the head of a single track line of railroad,
which had been hastily constructed for the conveyance of troops and
munition of war a portion of the way towards Perecop; and probably it
might have been carried to Arabat, at the head of the Putrid Sea, or to
Sebastopol itself, but for the rapid advance of the Allies.
Roughly constructed and hastily laid down, it led from the banks of the
Karasu I knew not at the time whither, as it was not depicted in the map
given to me by Captain Baudeuf, from whom I was now, as I have said,
We were all hurriedly thrust into carriages, or rather trucks, like
those for conveying cattle in Britain, without seat or other
accommodation, save a little straw for the miserable wounded, whose
numbers were greatly augmented by some fugitives from Khutor-Mackenzie.
The line of trucks might be, I suppose, about forty, including one which
bore the gallant Trebitski with his "Araby steed;" and three quaint and
old-fashioned locomotives, with large wheels and high chimneys, were
getting up their steam—one in front, one in rear, and one in the centre;
and these, after much wheezing and puffing, screaming and clanking, with
other discordant noises, got into motion simultaneously, and in the dark
we shot away from the streets and bazaars of the Karasu, for where was
yet a mystery to me.
The Cossack escort was now reduced to twenty dismounted men, who left
their horses and lances behind them, and were distributed among the
carriages; but luckily there were none in mine.
We had scarcely left the lights of the town behind us, when an odour of
burning attracted my attention, and the attention of those who were
penned up like sheep in the same truck with me. We could only
communicate our fears by signs, and heads were constantly put forth on
both sides of the train, and withdrawn, always with exclamations of
excitement, while the alarming odour increased strongly.
The lines of rail were laid on sleepers of wood, and I imagined that,
perhaps, the hot ashes dropping from the three engines might cause the
smell of burning that was filling the air heavily, as we tore along past
hills and rocks, the domes of village mosques, or churches, tipped with
silver light by the rising moon; along wooden bridges that spanned
hoarse and brawling mountain streams; across open wastes, where the
millet, rye, and hemp had been reaped and gathered, or where the wild
tobacco still grew; past slopes clothed by dark waving woods, the
chestnut, the oak, and the wild pear tree, the rush of the train, and
the scream of the engine scaring away the goshawks, the magpie, and kite
from their nests; past round towers, arches, and aqueducts, the
crumbling ruins of the old Genoese days; past where flocks and herds
were grazing, till they fled on the noise of our approach.
And now the train dashed into a forest of pine and turpentine trees,
through which it seemed to rush for miles upon miles, its speed
augmenting every instant, while the odour of burning increased with
every revolution of the wheels.
Anon, loud cries of terror and agony rang out at times upon the night
breeze; and now a light—actual flames, other than those which came from
the furnaces—occasionally shed its swift red gleam upon the gnarled tree
stems that stood in thick ranks on each side of the way; and then came
the appalling conviction upon all our minds that, in addition to having
run off, or having been abandoned by its stupid Muscovite
engine-drivers, the train was on fire!
In those open and rudely-constructed trucks, there were no windows to
lower. I thrust my head through the nearest opening, and found that the
two carriages in front of ours were a mass of flames, which burst forth
fiercely from all the apertures, and these, as they rushed in streams
behind, in consequence of the intense draught caused by the wild speed
at which the train careered through the forest, were setting our
carriage on fire also. Fortunately I was in the rear compartment, and
for a time could look steadily ahead.
Oh, what a sight it was!
The footways on each side of the carriages that were on fire were
literally alive with sick and wounded wretches, who had crept out, and
now clung to the steps and handles, by which the guards usually clamber
about, afraid alike to fall or cast themselves off; but every instant a
shriek was heard, as the grasp of some maimed or feeble unfortunate
relaxed, and he vanished from sight as the train swept on. Some fell
into watercourses, some fell over banks, and were flung into the forest,
the turpentine trees of which, in many places, were now in flames.
The straw amid which the more helpless wounded lay was soon on fire.
Many of them were literally roasted alive, and I heard the pistols of
the Cossacks exploding, as they went off in the heat, or as their
despairing wearers shot themselves or each other.
The engine-drivers, for some reason unknown to me, must have jumped off
and abandoned the train, for it swept through the forest unchecked, a
mass of flames, from which the yells and shrieks were appalling. More
than one carriage was literally burned down to its iron, all within
perishing miserably.
Even at that desperate time the hope of escape grew strong within me,
for every confusion was favourable. Being locked in on both sides, I
crept through an aperture which served for a window, and found footing
on the side gangway, with two or three others, who clung to the carriage
and moaned fearfully, for the exertion had made their gunshot wounds
burst out afresh. They soon dropped off, and I was left alone.
The rush of the glowing flames came hotly aft upon my face and hands. I
saw the clinging mass ahead, swaying to and fro, their faces and figures
reddened in the scorching glare, which lit up the line of rails like two
red-hot wires that vanished into the forest—all this I saw for a moment,
and a moment only.
I was about to drop off, and trust to Providence for the sequel, when
there was a sudden shout, a crash, a vast shower of ruddy sparks, that
seemed to fill the air with fire, a piercing yell, and then, in silence
and darkness, I found myself rolling down a grassy bank for some twenty
yards or so, until I was arrested from further harm by some soft tobacco
plants, which there grew wild and thickly.
Unhurt, but greatly confused, and completely breathless I staggered up
to look around me.
The coupling of two of the burning carriages had broken; they had
tumbled heavily down the bank, breaking to pieces as they fell,
scattering the brands of their blazing woodwork far and wide, killing
outright some of the scorched and wounded occupants, several of whom I
saw lying near me in the moonlight, blackened and mutilated, while the
remainder of the train, with its three engines, all abandoned by their
cowardly conductors, swept on its errand of destruction and death
through the now flaming forest.
As I rose from amid the strange débris of smouldering wood and shattered
iron, of dead or dying, and half-burned men, and was considering in
which way to turn, I was met face to face by one whose right arm was
broken, but who, nevertheless, uttered a hoarse and guttural
malediction, with which I was not unfamiliar, having heard it frequently
from his lips before. Drawing a pistol from his belt, with his left
hand he levelled it at my head.
Luckily the percussion cap snapped, and the weapon hung fire. But to
close with Trebitski—for he it was—to wrench the pistol away, and knock
him mercilessly down with the butt-end, were all the work of a moment,
and then I felt that I was "the monarch of all I surveyed."
I was turning away, when a peculiar snorting sound attracted my
attention, and in a well-padded horse-box, which lay on its side far
down the slope, I saw the head of Trebitski's Arab charger, as the poor
animal lolled out its red tongue, and threw back its small close ears in
terror and anger, for the sides of the horse-box were all scorched by
flame; and the mere odour of fire is sufficient to inspire a horse with
the most bewildering fear.
Here had Providence given me an additional chance for escape. But I had
no time to lose; the train might be stopped by this time (though no
sound, save the moans of the maimed, now disturbed the silence of that
woody solitude), and succour might be sent to the sufferers, though
human life is but little valued in Russia, and human suffering is viewed
there with an amount of indifference that savours more of Asia than of
My dragoon knowledge served me usefully here. I contrived to calm and
soothe the Arab horse, to unbuckle the braces that secured it in the
partly-shattered stall, and it came forth, half-scrambling and
half-crawling, trembling in every limb, and every fibre quivering under
its glossy coat, which was flecked with white foam. Cowed, calmed, and
terrified by the recent catastrophe, the horse was as docile as if Mr.
Rarey had been whispering his magic in its ear.
A noble Arab, with all the peculiarities of its breed—the square
forehead and fine black muzzle, the brilliant eyes and beautiful veins,
the withers high and body light, and standing somewhere about fourteen
hands and a half—it was whinnying, and rubbing its nose on my hand as if
for protection and fellowship.
He was saddled and accoutred, and the bridle was hanging on the pommel.
In a moment I had it over his head, and buckled to perfection, the
bridoon touching the corners of the mouth, but low enough not to wrinkle
I vaulted into the saddle, leaving the adjustment of the stirrups to a
more leisure time, as Trebitski, in Cossack fashion, rode with his knees
up to his elbows; and just as that redoubtable personage was reviving
after his rough tap on the head, I dashed into the forest, and soon left
the scene of suffering far behind me.
In several places the wood was on fire, and, being dry with the heat of
the past summer, the branches and crisp leaves, particularly those of
the turpentine trees, burned briskly. Thus I could see the wavering
flames reddening the clouds above, while riding on, and ignorant of the
route I was pursuing, through this dense old forest, the jungle and
underwood at times completely retarding all progress.
I paused only to lengthen the stirrups, and give my newly-acquired
steed—in which I began to feel all the interest of proprietorship—a
draught at a runnel, and then sought the recesses of the densest thicket
I could find to wait for day, that I might look warily about, and
consider what to do next, for, if taken with the horse of the
Parooschick Adrian Trebitski in my possession, the chances of being
shot, or sent to life-long slavery, were great. Anyway, I feared there
would be a vacant troop in Her Majesty's lancers—a troop, perhaps, given
to Berkeley; and I feared that few Russian officers like the gay young
Anitchoff or kind old Vladimir Dahl might come in my way again.
My more immediate fear was for the wolves, which there roam in packs,
and were, no doubt, by this time howling and snarling among the victims
on the railroad. If any of them scented me, I should have to take
refuge in a pine, where I might be starved to death, after they had
devoured my horse.
Every sound startled me; but I heard only the occasional gobble of the
wild bustards, which usually go in great flocks through all the wild
places of the Crimea.
I unbitted the Arab, and let him graze, but hobbled him so that he could
not escape; and as day began to steal redly through the distant dingles
of the wood, the light slowly descending from the summits to the lower
stems of the lofty pines, I found some wild grapes whereon to breakfast,
and quench the fierce thirst which recent excitement had induced.
When the light sufficed I drew forth the map given me by poor Captain
Baudeuf, and began to study my whereabouts. Through the openings of the
trees I could see, about a mile distant, the current of a broad and
evidently deep river shining in the morning sun.
The railway had not, to my knowledge, crossed such a stream; it flowed
from the west towards the east; hence, from its magnitude, it could only
be the Salghir, which, after being joined by the Karasu, flows into the
Putrid Sea.
This stream has usually little water in its bed, save after the melting
of the winter snows; but recent rains among the mountains of Ac-Metchet
had swollen it beyond its usual size. And now I beheld what must have
been a bend or sweep of it flowing between me and the tract of country
where our armies lay—the tract that stretched away towards Sevastopol,
which I supposed to be at least a hundred miles distant; and that idea
afterwards proved to be correct.
For a time my spirit quailed at the prospect before me. I was nearly in
the middle of the savage and hostile Crimea, ignorant of the many
languages spoken there, ignorant of the roads, and with no money to
bribe or arms to intimidate.
No house or town was visible, or a sign of any living thing, save the
goldfinches that twittered in the trees, and the heron and wild duck
that waded or squattered among the green weeds and long trailers on the
bank of the rushing stream. The latter was nearly eighty yards broad. I
knew that it must be crossed, as the south side was the safest.
Crossed! but how?
While considering this, the sound of a Cossack trumpet among the
woodlands in my rear gave me a nervous start, and made me resolve on
instant action. I put my treasured map carefully away, mounted, and
urged my horse at once to the bank of the river.
I took my feet out of the stirrups, which I then crossed above the
saddle—a precaution no dragoon or other horseman should ever forget when
about to cross a river mounted; for if the horse should sink his
hind-legs to seek for footing, or, worse still, should he "turn a
turtle," while the rider's feet are in the stirrups, the most fatal
results may ensue, and he will be helplessly drowned.
I was without spurs, yet I rushed him at the stream, for there are times
when rider and horse feel as one. He took the water well, and struck
out bravely, for I leant well forward, so that my body rested on his
crest. I had no occasion to touch the rein or use the bit; but steered
him by a switch torn from a tree.
With his neck stretched out like that of a dog, he swam coolly and
steadily across, with the ripples of the water under my armpits. When
he grounded, and scrambled up the other side, I dismounted, and led him
by the bridle into a thicket beyond.
This was scarcely achieved, when some tall lances glittered on the other
side of the stream, where a party of twelve Cossacks were scouting; and
had my horse neighed they must have discovered me. However, they all
disappeared in the wood; after which I breathed more freely, and
proceeded to rub down my Arab with tufts of dry grass, and to wring out
my wetted garments.
All that day I travelled through the woods, and at times along the
highways, avoiding even the Tartar herdsmen and field-labourers,
steering in the direction of Sebastopol, guided by my tiny map and the
sun; and towards nightfall I was lucky enough to meet with some French
troops, though at first I narrowly escaped being shot by their advanced
guard—a favour procured me by my Tambrov uniform. Luckily I could
muster sufficient French to make myself known as an officer of her
Britannic Majesty's service, and was conducted to the commander.
These troops proved to be the 77th Regiment of the Infanterie de la
Ligne, under Colonel Jean Louis Giomar, Commander of the Legion of
Honour, on their march towards Sebastopol.
I was in safety now, and was treated by him and his officers with every
attention and kindness, and, in truth, after all I had undergone during
the last twenty-four hours, I required both.
The 77th had landed but a few days before from _La Reine Blanche_[*] a
French ship of the line, in which the Emperor had revived the old
Parisian name for Mary Queen of Scots.

Hey guys! So you probably clicked on this post because ummm yum?! A vegan double doozie happened. It is amazing. It is life changing. I have never tasted anything quite like it. Let's get into how you can make one too!
Look at this cookie dough… I mean, it's probably the best cookie dough I have ever had. The recipe is from another blogger, Foodie Fiasco! You can find the recipe here, http://www.foodiefiasco.com/single-serving-chocolate-chip-cookie/
So pardon the messy plate, but I actually microwave my cookies! They are so yummy, and I am sure that if you're patient enough to bake them, they'd be even better. I add a few sprinkles to the top side of the cookie just to be cute!
This is kind of the most important part of the recipe. This Betty Crocker Whipped frosting is accidentally vegan… There are so many accidentally vegan premade frostings like this, but this one almost tastes like a marshmallow cream. Insanely good. Make sure to brush your teeth at least a dozen times after eating this cookie, btw!
This is the final, ooey gooey, delicious, spectacular, extraordinary double doozie cookie. A moment of silence. Thank you. Wow. The frosting melts just enough in between the cookies to be just oh so decadent.
Enjoy it with some almond milk… Like me or like a normal person who pours it in a glass. I promise that if you are craving something sweet, even if you're not vegan(yet), this will help fix that craving. Like completely.
Thank you guys so much for reading this post! I hope that you all enjoy this recipe, and make sure to let me know if you try it out. I am having so much fun sharing all of these posts, and I have sooo many fun ones coming up!

binds us subtly to what is near
'Everything that surrounds us becomes part of us, it seeps into us with every experience of the flesh and of life and, like the web of the great spider, binds us subtly to what is near, ensnares us in a fragile cradle of slow death, where we lie rocking in the wind. Everything is us and we are everything, but what if everything is nothing? A ray of sun, a cloud whose own sudden shadow warns of it's coming, a breeze getting up, the silence that follows when it drops, certain faces, some voices, the easy smiles as they talk, and then the night into which emerge, meaningless, the broken hieroglyphs of stars.'
– Fernando pessoa

A former Deputy Communications Minister, Felix Ofosu Kwakye has criticized President Nana Akufo-Addo for appointing 125 ministers to serve in his government.
The Akufo-Addo administration now has 125 ministers, over 30 more ministers more than his predecessor had.
The most recent additions came as Ghana welcomed six new regions in 2019; the Western North, Oti, Ahafo, Bono East, Savannah and North East regions.
President Nana Akufo-Addo has consistently justified his "elephant-sized" government, saying: "as you know there are some who say my government is too big and there are too many of you [Ministers]. I am a firm believer in the adage the proof of the pudding is in the eating."
Mr. Ofosu Kwakye in an interview on the Point Blanksegment of Eyewitness News, however, dismissed the justifications.
"The explanations [for a bloated government] we have had so far do not make sense. There are countries that are much bigger than Ghana, have much bigger populations, have more complex difficulties that do not have 125 Ministers.
"Yesterday I heard Herbert Krapah claim that for instance that the GDP growth of 6.7 percent is enough justification for having 125 Ministers. To begin with, that GDP in itself is a decline from 2017 when they had 8.1 percent because of 80.6 percent in oil production due to the work done by the Mahama administration."
The flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama recently said he will scrap some of the newly created ministries by the Akufo-Addo administration if the NDC is voted back into power.
"We are said to have achieved a world record of 125 ministers. Definitely, some of those ministries will go under an NDC government," the former President said.
Mr. Mahama argued that a large number of ministers was a huge drain on public funds.
"Government expenditure has ballooned and they are not able to collect enough revenue to meet the high expenditure. And part of the high expenditure is because of the huge number of political appointments."
Citing some examples, Mr. Mahama singled out, among others, the Procurement Minister as being redundant.
"Procurement ministry will go. You have a whole Public Procurement Authority which was supervised by the Ministry of Finance. What do you need a Procurement Minister for?"

Why Online Internet Marketers Should Use Advertising Co Ops
Internet marketing. Those two words are very well known within the life of all online Internet Marketers.
Advertising Co-ops. Now there are two words that are often way more overlooked than they should be. In my last article I looked at success tips for co-ops. It's now time to see why Internet marketers everywhere should include participation within an advertising co-op.
Telling people about your product within Ezine newsletters is extremely affective. Especially if…
* The Ezine is targeted to your niche
* The Ezine has a healthy following
* The Ezine has been in the industry for more than a couple of days
However, advertising within online publications, newsletters and Ezine's can indeed be a very costly endeavor, especially if you place your advertisement with a publication that meets all three criteria's from the above list.
The three most common ways of getting an advertising spot with an online Ezine are…
* Solo Ads: You are the only ad within a given release of the publication. Typically these are the most expensive types of advertisements since they limit the ability for other advertisers to place their advertisements in that issue of the publication.
* Top Sponsor Ads: These are typically the second most expensive types of advertisements for people to participate in. The reason is simple; these advertisements come at the top of the newsletter before the publisher even has a chance of displaying the content of their publication.
* Classified Ads: Have you ever picked up a newspaper to find local area garage sales or logged on to a job board trying to find the perfect career for yourself? If so, you've seen different versions of classified ads. In an online publication the classified ad section normally focuses on different offerings within a given niche industry. While these are the least expensive option avoiding them altogether would be a mistake.
In closing here is my own personal favorite Ezine directory that will help you in finding the best possible publications for you to work with.
* EzineLocater.com
There are over 30,000 Ezine publications for online Internet marketers to form advertising co-ops around today. Therefore adding this strategy to your online marketing campaigns is not only highly suggested but it is also strongly recommended.

Is it a car? is it a plane?
February 21, 2010 at 2:00 am thinkingshift 4 comments
A publicity agency has sent me information about nifty eco-transportation that's just been released in Australia. It's called the Manhattan M3 Eco Pod and is the next generation of eco-friendly transport. It has three wheels and reminds me a bit of those Messerschmidt micro-cars that were seen whizzing down roads after WWII. Did you ever seen one of those? I think they were also called bubble cars and used the canopy off a Messerschmidt fighter plane to cover the car's cabin.
But back to the eco pod. It looks a bit like a scooter or a bike but is much sturdier with its intuitive lean stabilising system, allowing you to lean into corners, exactly like a bike, whilst keeping all three wheels still firmly on the ground, gripping the road. Check it out:
And have a look at it whizzing around on Australian roads in this YouTube video:
With gas guzzlers clogging up our roads and freeways, the eco pod is a genuine alternative mode of transport. It has a lockable boot/trunk (the volume of the boot is an impressive 72 litres), spacious back seat with fold-out arm rests and is economical. This baby can achieve up to 200km on 6 litres of fuel and is equipped with a 150cc single cylinder 4 stroke engine with an automatic CVT transmission. I can really see it as a convenient "car" to go shopping, run errands or beat the morning traffic. The cost is around AU $6,490 ride-away.

Tag request for Apple compatible modules.
The question which e-Sword modules are Apple compatible is repeatedly asked.
I know that it takes time and bandwidth to place those modules in the new categories.
But I have a simple solution: create an Apple Tag and make a hyperlink to the Bookshelves (below Premium Modules)
The only thing that is needed is that up-loaders or moderators or admins marking downloads with Apple that contain Apple compatible modules.
Once all the Apple compatible modules are marked is it easy to put those later in categories.

Whose Land is Our Land?
The Use and Abuse of Britain's Forgotten Acres
Distributed for Bristol University Press
72 pages | 5 x 7 3/4 | © 2015
In recent decades, rising land prices and ever-increasing demand for housing have made it incredibly difficult for farms to sustain themselves in Britain—with dangerous consequences for food supplies. Government attention to the issue has been limited at best, which has led to speculation and the loss of more and more farmland. With Whose Land Is Our Land? Peter Hetherington mounts a powerful argument for a more active, forward-thinking policy, one that acknowledges the importance of farming, rural society, and food security and takes stronger action to curb speculation and rampant overbuilding.

Review Quotes
Kate Henderson, chief executive of the Town and Country Planning Association
"In his thought-provoking and insightful book, Hetherington poses an important question about the future of Britain, do we use land for the benefit of all our citizens or for a privileged few? It is the right question to ask."
John Tomaney, University College London
"Hetherington breaks the extraordinary silence that surrounds land ownership and compels us to address what should be one of the great political controversies of modern Britain."
People, Place and Policy
"[Peter Hetherington] puts at the center concerns about who owns Britain and details the consequences this can have for individuals, for communities and for society at large."

Shop the look:
Weekend WearApril 4, 2014
French Connection hat, Everlane shirt, sweater c/o Subtle Luxury,
jeans c/o James Jeans, Aldo heels, Rebecca Minkoff bag (on sale!),
jewelry c/o Keltie Leanne Designs
I ended up having to stay home sick yesterday so let's just say I'll be taking this weekend easy. It's my birthday in just under a week and I don't want to be ringing 27 in still sick, so rather than spreading myself thin I'm just going to relax, do laundry, go for walks, read a book…boring stuff. I'm really quite excited about it.
Different iterations of this look are my go-to's during the weekend. All you need is a good pair of skinnies (in love with these Moto's from James Jeans!), a staple T-shirt (in love with Everlane's), cozy cashmere and a hat or scarf to stay cozy. Changed and ready to go in under two minutes, which is about as long as I'm willing to commit to dressing during the weekend!
Hope you all have an equally relaxing weekend, but make sure you check back Monday – I'll be launching a giveaway with Robson Street you won't want to miss! Happy Friday!

DWP annual compliance report available onlineAugust 5th, 2011 by Greg, Information & Restoration Specialist
Now available to download from the Mono Basin Clearinghouse is the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power's May 2011 Mono Basin compliance report. This annual report discusses previous year and current year operations and monitoring for the State Water Board-ordered requirements of the city of Los Angeles' water rights licenses. Highlights are below.
The operations plan for 2011–2012 outlines the temporary operations for the officially "wet" 2011–2012 runoff year (April 1 to March 31) that have been approved by the State Water Board for the first half of the year. The intent is to test the new flow recommendations outlined in the Synthesis Report. This section also provides a review of the 2010–2011 "normal" runoff year operations.
During the 2010 field season (the 14th year of fish population monitoring) there were 33% to over 100% increases in young of the year brown trout in all reaches of Rush Creek since 2009, yet it was the third year in a row of decreases in young of the year in Walker Creek, and there were none in Lee Vining Creek. The brown trout sampled in Lee Vining Creek were in good condition while in Rush Creek trout condition was below average. More large fish were sampled in Lee Vining Creek than ever before. The report concludes that "at least several additional years of fisheries data will be required to document if the winter baseflow recommendations continue to increase the proportion of older and larger trout…." in Rush Creek. The scarcity of pools in Lee Vining Creek is constraining the production of older and larger trout there.
A creek-ice survey was conducted for the second winter in a row, and a report is included in the fisheries section. It provides an excellent overview of the winter weather during the last two years, and clearly shows how Mono Lake moderates the local climate. Lee Vining and Paoha Island air temperatures typically fluctuated 20 degrees F less than at Cain Ranch—the maximums were on average 10 F cooler and the minimums 10 F warmer near Mono Lake. During the last decade winters were milder than during the previous decade. Last winter, ice fluctuation in the creeks was very severe, and during freeze-ups fish would be forced into faster-moving ice-free parts of the channels for up to a week at a time. Relatively warm water released to Rush Creek from Grant Lake Reservoir kept the upper part of Rush Creek relatively ice-free.
This section reports geomorphology, hydrology, and vegetation aspects of the creek monitoring efforts. Highlights include a cottonwood vigor assessment based on measuring shoot lengths that grew each year and relating that growth to the streamflow and groundwater conditions that year. Results from groundwater and stream temperature monitoring are also reported.
Waterfowl and limnology
This annual report is Mono Lake-focused, reporting the mixing and plankton dynamics in Mono Lake as well as the results from waterfowl surveys. Data from "the last six years confirm that there has been a significant increase in the size of the first generation of adult Artemia and a more rapid autumn decline in Artemia accompanying the general decrease in salinity from 1982 to present." 2010 had the lowest annual brine shrimp cyst production since monitoring began in 1982 due to low late-season adult abundance. "There is no significant long term trend in mean annual Artemia abundance;" however, there is a long-term trend of increased algal chlorophyll. A nine-year trend shows that summer waterfowl diversity and brood production are higher when Mono Lake is higher, however there have been no trends seen during the fall migration.

Liberty Plaza in Rs. 100mn tie-up with foreign investor
* To develop food court, fine dining restaurantsOctober 26, 2011, 8:52 pm
Liberty Holdings (Pvt.) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Colombo Land & Development Co. PLC, the developer of the country's first shopping mall Liberty Plaza, has signed up with a foreign investor to develop a food court and fine dining restaurants, the company said in a statement.
"The food court would be constructed in par with international standards in an extent of 20,000 sq.ft and will accommodate more than 500 guests at a given time, this would be the largest amongst shopping malls in Colombo. The cost of the project would be in the region of Rs. 100 million," the company announced yesterday.
"The construction has already begun and the food court will commence operation by April 2012 for the Sinhala & Tamil New Year.
"This would be the first initiative of CLDC's group for implementation of their blue print for re-vamping Liberty Plaza. The Food court project will no doubt add value to Liberty Plaza and CLDC group," the company said in a statement.

I just read an article on Bruce Metcalf's blog that he wrote as a response to a post Kevin Murry wrote for AJF on advocacy and ethics in craft. Basically, Metcalf states that jewelry will never be an effective means to promote social change and here's why.
For me this article was really refreshing. I basically understood it to say that the socially responsible thing to do is make the work you want to make. If you want to be an advocate for social change, go into politics. My work doesn't have a social agenda, and it probably never will. Making green or sustainable or environmentally responsible work is also the least of my concerns when I sit down to make art. Maybe this makes me a bad person, maybe I make up for it in other aspects of my life style.
My favorite part was the last paragraph:
"My gift is imagining and making things. Only as a maker can I truly excel, and only as a maker can I make a contribution that might matter. If I have a responsibility, it is to exercise my gift. It is to function as an autonomous artist who serves only my own vision. In the long run, this is my only hope to have a real effect on the world. And it won't be about ethics, not at all."
Sometimes I worry that there's no point to my work other than my own selfish amusement, so to hear someone I respect say that it's his responsibility to make his work as he sees fit, maybe I'm not so far off in the desert as I think I am. Maybe I actually am a little closer to the right track.
To read Bruce Metcalf's article go here.
I was unable to find Kevin Murray's article online.

By Sammy Jean
It all started on August 26, 2016; Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem at an N.F.L football game. His action set off a nationwide protest.
On September 1, 2016, Kaepernick repeated the same action during the national anthem. From that moment the media has kept an eye on Kaepernick. After the protest, Kaepernick stated in a press interview that "I am not anti-American; I love America, I love people." He also said that he was not protesting to be anti-military or to cause any disrespect to the troops. When Kaepernick started his protest, he sat down, but when confronted by his teammate Eric Reid, they decided to take a knee.
Reid was quoted saying, "After hours of careful consideration, and even a visit from Nate Boyer, a retired Green Beret and former N.F.L. player, we concluded that we should kneel, rather than sit the next day during the anthem, as a peaceful protest. We chose to kneel because it is a respectful gesture. I remember thinking our posture was like a flag flown at half-mast to mark a tragedy. It baffles me that our protest is still being misconstrued as disrespectful to the country, flag, and military personnel. We chose it because it is precisely the opposite."
Last weekend millions of football fans saw many N.F.L players from teams including New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, the Denver Broncos, and the Miami Dolphins take a knee or stand arm-in-arm. Furthermore, the entire Seattle Seahawks and Nashville Titans teams stayed in the locker rooms during the anthem to protest and highlight the social injustice and police brutality against African-Americans.
There has been some pushback to the players' protest from President Trump. He said, "N.F.L owners who see players disrespecting the flag" should say "get that son of a b—- off the field right now, he's fired." An unwelcome statement that triggered many Americans to respond by claiming they will boycott the N.F.L's games for the remainder of the season if players keep taking a knee or stand in-arms. Some even attempted to return or sell their season tickets. Although some fans are angry at the protest, others praise the players for their efforts in standing up together for something they believe.
"If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!" President Trump tweeted. Many argue that the president has misunderstood the reasoning behind the protest, because President Trump assumes the protest is all about disrespecting the flag. The players say that it is a protest against the social injustices that many black individuals face on a daily basis, and also against the ongoing police brutality towards many people. None of which Mr. Trump has commented upon since his initial tweet about the protests. It seems he is more focused on the disrespect issue rather than listen to the entire argument Kaepernick and other players have set forth.
The First Amendment adopted on December 15, 1791, states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" as stated in the Bill of Rights.
Overall the players have a right to protest the injustices many face on a day-to-day basis.
"Disrespecting the flag." "People have died for this country." "Think about what your actions mean to the troops." many tweeted after Sunday's game. The tweets do bring into question what the troops and military officers think about the protest. We know it is within our rights, but is it disrespectful to take a knee during the national anthem?
To better understand why some people would see the protest as disrespectful to the military, I contacted former military Sergeant Bernie Jean, who faithfully served his country in the States and Afghanistan for over eight years. He is also my uncle. "Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion, but everyone wants to be correct. Remember what you feel about an issue is beyond my control," Jean said. What Sergeant Jean is referring to is the hundreds of Facebook posts, tweets and comments left on millions of profiles in response to the protest.
When asked how he felt about the players taking a knee or linking arms during the national anthem, Sergeant Jean responded,
Right or not right, can we still love each other… can we show respect towards each other. I believe that a person's actions should be recognized. We do not have to accept another person's protest, but we should respect their right to protest and them as a person"
As of March 2017, Kaepernick has left the N.F.L. He is now focusing more on charitable endeavors and also spreading his message of social activism, mainly through the Colin Kaepernick Foundation he started last year to help fight oppression. He plans to donate $1 million, plus the profits from his 2016 jersey sales. So far he has given over $900,000 to more than a dozen charities. Kaepernick has no ambition of returning to the N.F.L.
Former Sergeant Jean wanted to leave readers with a small, but powerful message. "Practice the right to respect others, don't practice fear and hate. There isn't freedom in hate. We may not like what others do, but we must respect them."

I've run a report on our windows 2012 servers and have a few with .net framework 3.5 and 4.0. Qualys. Qualys reports says the below
.NET Framework 4, 4.5 and 4.5.1 without any service packs were detected on the target host. Microsoft ended support for .NET Framework 4, 4.5 and 4.5.1 on January 12, 2016 and provides no further support for this specific version.
I know I can update .NET but I'm guessing if I do not remove the older versions then Qualys will still see this as an issue and we will still have a security risk running an older version of .Net although it's been upgraded. .Net upgrades leave the original version in place. I don't really want to remove the old version as we have a mixture of apps, including SQL 2014 that I think will need it
Any ideas?
