It looks like Joey Harrington is going to have some issues making the Saints roster:
Joey Harrington said he will focus on doing his job and turn a blind eye to the chance that he might be the odd man out if Coach Sean Payton keeps only two quarterbacks going into the regular season — Drew Brees, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and Mark Brunell, a proven veteran who turns 39 in two weeks. Teams must pare their rosters to 53 active players by 3 p.m. Saturday, leaving Saints officials with 22 player moves before the league deadline. "That's not in my control," Harrington said when asked to handicap his chances of making the final roster. "Somebody else's decision is completely out of my control. I don't bother myself with things that I can't control anymore. I can't say that it (being waived) hasn't crossed my mind. But I don't waste my time thinking about it."

Recently, members of the Florida Constitutional Resource Committee (CRC) met and put forth considerations seeking more gun restrictions, to further set the Sun on gun ownership in Florida; adding to the Florida Constitution when the ink on raising the age requirement to own a firearm is not even dry yet. As if increasing the age to own a firearm was not enough and where the Second Amendment indicates no age restriction at all. If the states and the federal government are successful in disarming the populace, illegally, they will have all Americans in their grip, exposing them to more crime, while holding all the firearms for their use to include military grade weapons at their disposal.
Since the very beginning of European settlements in America, as far back as the 1600's, guns were an integral part of everyone's life, used for hunting and self-protection. Knowing what early settlers had in their possession in the way of guns, then why was the Second Amendment added to the U.S. Constitution in the first place? First, informing the federal and state governments by placing it in print in the U.S. Constitution is our right to own and bear arms; and as to the rest of the Bill of Rights, these rights are non-negotiable as well, in fact the government does not grant rights, they are natural rights which cannot be legislated into submission or taken away. Second, to warn the government if any attempt is made to enslave us through government tyranny, we have guns; we are the sovereign over government, the first nation to do so in all history. These two points, in no other way, can't be construed to mean anything else that one can come away with concerning the Second Amendment or even the Bill of Rights as a whole. Finally, what is written in the U.S. Constitution cannot be usurped or changed in anyway by the states or congress without invoking Article V of the U.S. Constitution as outlined by the methods contained therein.
Amendment II
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Question: How do you add or take away from this statement concerning the Second Amendment? How can one possibly come away with a different conclusion about it?
The following is a list of what the Florida Constitutional Resource Committee wanted to add to the Florida Constitution—
*An "assault weapons" ban which bans the distribution, sale, transfer, and possession of so-called assault weapons and any detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than 9 rounds. (Makes possession illegal with no compensation provided for those already possessed that must be surrendered)
*A ban on any semi-automatic rifle that is able to accept a detachable magazine or has a fixed magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds. (that means almost all semi-automatic rifles)
*A ban on the sale and transfer of "assault weapons" and defines "transfer" as the conveyance "from a person or entity to another person or entity WITHOUT any conveyance of money or other valuable consideration." (Note: to "convey" between persons without compensation could mean the simple act of handing the firearm to another person while hunting, on the range, or anywhere)
*A 10 day waiting period (excluding weekends and legal holidays) on all firearms to facilitate a background check.
*A ban on the purchase of any firearm by a person under 21 years of age.
*A ban on the sale, transfer and possession of bump stocks and other accessories, tools, kits, etc.

These are the Commissioners that voiced opposition to the draconian changes to the Florida Constitution proposed by so many members of the committee:
Former Sheriff/Commissioner Emery Gainey raised a point of order and presented the case that the amendments were not germane and argued to uphold the rules. Rules Chairman Tim Cerio advised the Chair that the point was well taken and Chairman Carlos Beruff ruled the amendments were out of order and could not be introduced.
The Commissioners proposing the gun ban and gun control amendments appealed the ruling of the Chair and tried all avenues to convince other Commissioners to ignore the rules, waive the rules and just plain violate the rules. But the majority of Commissioners overwhelmingly upheld the Chair, demonstrating respect for the rule of law.
So for today, responsible leadership prevailed and our Constitution is safe from those who have no respect for its sanctity.
Among those Commissioners who fought to support, protect and defend the Constitution and the rule of law were: Former Sheriff Emery Gainey, former Senator Don Gaetz, Rep. Chris Sprowls, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Commission Chair Carlos Beruff.1
As to the rest of the Commissioners, you can easily locate them in the email addresses posted in this Column by copying their email address and doing an online search or copy and paste their address in your email service and send them a note.
Now look what our U.S. government has been up to when it comes to interpreting the Second Amendment, yes our U.S. government. Suggesting the Second Amendment is not so clear. Opinion should not be part of this statement only federal court could comment of such matters. They are pushing the meaning as they see it—
The Second Amendment, one of the ten amendments to the Constitution comprising the Bill of Rights, states: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Here is the opinion which should not be in their overview! "The meaning of this sentence is not self-evident, and has given rise to much commentary but relatively few Supreme Court decisions." There is no need for the Left to read the rest of the overview at the federal government website, this gives them all the "ammo" they need to twist the meaning of the Second Amendment.
What public education is doing and now what the U.S. government is spreading begs one to think about what this is really leading to2—

Once on the flight, Glassman breaks outtea bags and drinks up. Yes, you mayhave to leave your seat more often, butthat's a plus. "It's good to stretch," shesays. "I get up a couple of times andwalk around. You have to stay hydrated."To that end, avoid alcohol. "You'rethrowing off your sleep, your schedule —and you're adding the calories. Also try tostay away from sugar, packaged processedfoods and anything that's going to bedisruptive to your digestive system."After you land, jet lag may be unavoid-able, Aziz notes, "but studies suggest thatexposure to as much sunlight as possibleafter arrival may reduce symptoms." Adoptthe new time zone as soon as possible. "Assoon as I board my flight, I change thetime on my watch right away, and I stick tothat time. If you arrive during the day, dowhatever it takes to stay awake. Get out ofyour hotel room, go for a walk, stay busyand only come back when you know you'regoing to hit the bed."Use the opportunity to explore, butdon't forget your healthy habits. "One bigproblem when people travel is that theythrow in the towel on everything, becausethey're eating well, dining out and drinkingmore," Glassman points out. So try to keepto at least some aspects of your routine.
"You may not get to work out, but youcan get a good night's sleep every night. Oryou're dining out more, but you have a littlemore leisure time and can get in a dailyworkout." Then upon returning home, thedamage to your diet and your waistline hasbeen minimized. Perhaps most importantly,she says, "the more you can eat consistentlythroughout the day and drinking adequatewater, the more regular you're going to keepyour whole GI tract."After all, why treat TD when you canprevent it? "The most common culpritsare water, ice, salad, unpasteurized milkand cheese, and undercooked eggs, meatand seafood," Aziz says. As appealing asthe street food looks, take a picture, not ahelping. Depending on where you travel,you may want to limit your water tobottled options only.
Bugs aren't just in the water. Mosqui-tos transmit diseases like dengue fever inareas from Brazil to parts of SoutheastAsia. "There is no vaccine for it, so ifyou're traveling in affected areas, makesure you use proper mosquito protec-tion," says Aziz. "That would be DEETinsect repellent with a 20-35 percentconcentration."Car accidents are another leading risk toyour health. "This applies anywhere in theworld: Don't drink and drive, and wear yourseat belt," Aziz says. "But also use cautionas a pedestrian, because the flow of trafficmay be in the opposite direction from whatyou're used to." Or it could appear to beheading in all directions at once.
When you get home, ease your re-entry with a healthy meal. From herhotel room the night before she leaves,Glassman orders groceries online, to bedelivered to her door an hour after shereturns. "Or you can leave a few thingsin your fridge that won't go bad so youdon't just order takeout."In order to get to bed that first night,she offers up her own routine. "Takea good shower after the trip, moistur-ize, light a lavender candle, have somechamomile tea, even put on a sleep maskand try to get the best sleep possible."Then follow up with any boostersyou may need. "For instance, withHepatitis A, you want to complete yourseries so you can get the full protec-tion," says Aziz. In addition, be sure tomonitor any health problems. "A lot ofdiseases start with flu-like symptoms, soyou want to make sure it's just the flu.
When you talk to your physician, alwaysmention that you've traveled abroad, andwhere you've traveled. You may think it'snot important, but it never hurts to givethe information."Now venture forth, safe in the knowl-edge that you've covered all the bases —from Hep A to Z-Pak. p

Position: No 6
Name of wine estate: Clos Apalta Winery
Country: Chile
Wine region: Colchagua Valley
Standout points: Spectacular winery and one of the world's most iconic red wines
Winemaker: Jacques Begarie
Wine style: Chilean terroir and Bordeaux winemaking philosophy
Website: www.closapalta.com
A design masterpiece
Designed by renowned Chilean architect Roberto Benavente Riquelme, the stunning six-level, gravity-fed winery in the midst of century-old, biodynamically farmed vineyards was specially built to produce the iconic Clos Apalta Carmenere/Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. An architectural tour de force is, of course, entirely appropriate for one of the world's most prestigious wines.
Chilean terroir, Bordeaux prestige
Clos Apalta Winery is located in the foothills of Apalta, about 170km south-west of the capital, Santiago. Imagine premier cru classe Bordeaux transplanted to the Colchagua Valley. When Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle (owner of the Grand Marnier liqueur brand) and her husband Cyril de Bournet arrived here in 1994, they discovered Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere vines based on pre-phylloxera rootstock and dating back to 1915. Closely guided by Bordeaux-based super-consultant Michel Rolland, they set about realising what they saw as the area's clear potential for producing world-class wines. Several 100-point scores later, their hunch seems to have been proved right.
Every indulgence catered for
At the Clos Apalta Restaurant, a team of chefs uses organic vegetables from its own garden and top-quality seasonal products to create a special menu for the estate's wines. If energy levels permit, you have the option of trekking, mountain biking or horseriding through the vineyards and the local native forests. Follow that with a tour and private tasting in the breathtaking winery, where you can sample three award-winning wines – Lapostolle Grand Selection, Cuvée Alexandre and the iconic Clos Apalta – in a spectacular setting.
Five-star experience
For the full five-star luxury experience, a stay at the Lapostolle Residence is highly recommended. This stunning hotel complete with infinity pool comprises four airy, intimate suites surrounded by the Apalta hills and native forest. Each boasts a private terrace offering an uninterrupted view of the vines and mountains, and each is decorated with reference to the grape varieties that make up the Clos Apalta cuvée.

Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Feeder: Adults (ages 18+)
- Morning shifts start between 7:00 am & 8:00 am (0.75-1.5 hours/shift)
- Evening shifts start between 5:45 pm & 7:00 pm (0.5-1 hour/shift)
The volunteer feeder program gives adults, ages 18 and up, an opportunity to experience the satisfaction and learning which comes from providing one of the most important aspects of care to the animals residing on the Sienna Ranch property- feeding! Under the instruction of Sienna Ranch's Animal Care and Education Coordinator, volunteer feeders are responsible for following the guidelines of the morning and evening feeding routines for animals. The animals in the Sienna Ranch family include:
- Horses
- Goats
- Sheep
- Chickens
- Ducks
- Cats
The program consists of feeding, providing fresh water, transporting animals between pens, and promptly communicating any problems with animals or animal feed to the Animal Care Coordinator.
Is our Volunteer Feeder program right for you??
As a volunteer feeder you must consider yourself one of the primary caretakers of the animals; rain or shine, your animals need to be fed. In the animal care business, there is no such thing as a lazy day; expect to work hard and possibly get a little dirty in the process. Working with animals on a ranch is not a light-weight job. The volunteer feeder program requires dedication, reliability, and responsibility. If you are prepared to work hard, get a bit dirty and volunteer as part of an awesome animal care team… Apply to the Sienna Ranch Volunteer Feeder Program!
Volunteer Feeder Requirements
- Ability to work your shift, rain or shine. It is expected that you will be attending your shift in any weather.
- Punctuality. Our animals are on a strict meal schedule. Feeding them early or late can seriously jeopardize their health!
- Ability to work independently and to follow written instruction – there will not always be someone on the property to instruct you.
- Show initiative. If something is unclear, YOU must take the initiative to have instructions clarified for you.
- Good physical strength, more than opening a can of dog food! This is a physically demanding job requiring the ability to push a wheelbarrow full of hay across rough terrain.
- A minimum 6 month commitment to a regular feeding shift is required (2 weeks notice is required before resigning from the volunteer position).
Finding someone to cover a feeding shift can be very difficult without adequate notice. We require:
- 1 week notice for planned absences
- 1 month notice if two or more consecutive shifts are to be missed
- In case of illness or emergency, please give as much notice as possible
- Volunteers who are absent for 4 or more volunteer shifts within a 6 month period will be ineligible to continue in our volunteer program.
Join the Volunteer Feeder Crew
Fill out the online application form below and we will be in touch if we have a shift available which fits your schedule.
Our volunteer feeding program is very popular. We apologize if we do not have shifts available to match your schedule. Open shifts are assigned as they arise, based on the applications we have on file. Priority is given to volunteers with previous experience in Sienna Ranch programs.
Email our Director, Chris Lauf with questions at firstname.lastname@example.com to be a volunteer feeder

Sell Your House And Get Fast Cash Through It As long as we live and as long as we have the need to purchase something, we will always be in need of the presence of money in our lives. These days, the need for immediate cash, or what we fondly pertained to as fast cash, has become very dominant in our lives, but then again, even if that is the case already, the ways of catering it are limited or rather, all ways will not be able to solve this kind of problem as effective as others can. Hence, if you are on of those individuals out there who have been thinking of looking for ways on how to get fast cash or immediate money, this is now the right time for you to know about selling your home for fast money. But then again, we also know for a fact that selling your home fast for an immediate money is not something that can be done so easily as it usually takes a good deal of tension and stress on your part just thinking of how you will be able to achieve it. One of the most important, if not the most important, things that you need to take into consideration if you are planning to sell your house quickly is to know about the different concepts of cash buyers out there as they are the ones who can answer to this certain need of yours. If there is one thing that you need to know about these cash buyers, that would be the fact that they are property traders or property investors who can help you get rid of the typical hassles that may come to your way once you have decided to sell your house quickly. Speaking of cash buyers, the deal that they will be presenting to you are of a very direct nature. What we are trying to tell you here is that when you are to seek the help of cash buyers, this means that no intermediaries will be involve since we all know that these intermediaries are tasked to constitute a long chain of the traditional process of house selling. Apart from what has been mentioned already above, another good thing that comes from you choosing to directly hire the service of a cash buyer instead of relying on real estate agents is that, you will be able save as much money as you possibly can, instead of spending some more. And also, there is no such thing as delay if you are to choose the service of a cash buyer instead of choosing real estate agents.

ROBERT BALFANZ is an Associate Research Scientist in the Center for Social Organization of Schools at Johns Hopkins University, where he is Co-Director of the Talent Development Middle School project and Associate Director of the Talent Development High School project.
Robert Balfanz, Allen Ruby & Douglas Mac Iver - 2002
Essential Components and Next Steps for Comprehensive Whole-School Reform in High Poverty Middle Schools
The first half of this chapter briefly summarizes the lessons learned to date regarding components that are absolutely essential for transforming high poverty middle schools. As developers of the Talent Development Middle School (TDMS) model,2 we draw upon our own experiences from the past 6 years working with high poverty middle schools in Philadelphia, Memphis, New Jersey, and Michigan. We argue that by focusing on the infrastructure of teaching and learning and by creating a communal organization of schooling, it is possible to make significant achievement and motivational gains in high poverty middle schools. In the second half of this chapter, we discuss several remaining instructional, school culture, and policy obstacles that must be overcome, and we consider the additional components that are still needed to reliably transform the most troubled high poverty middle schools into strong learning institutions.
The extent and location of weak learning environments and poor student outcomes in American high schools need to be better understood if we are to focus attention and resources where reforms are most needed. We begin this chapter by providing various indicators of the serious problems affecting high schools and then describe how the indicators are concentrated in large high schools in high-poverty areas. There is an emerging consensus that comprehensive reform approaches that address high school organization and operations offer promising solutions to these problems. Therefore, we also provide a brief history of earlier reform recommendations that have evolved into the comprehensive change models now available. We conclude with a description of four common components of comprehensive reform models for high schools, with examples and recent evaluation evidence from one selected model that offers specific materials and support systems.

PROMETRIUM DURING PREGNANCY After M C
hi, I had m/c in may at 5 weeks. Now i'm expecting again and my OB proscribed me Prometrium (progestirone) 100mg till I'm 12 weeks to help "keep" the pregnancy. Does anyone else used it or on it ?
hey margo, how are you? i was on prometrium with my last pregnancy. I thought that I was pregnant right after my m/c and if I was, they would have put me back on it. They are just doing it to be cautious. Good luck and Congrats on being pregnant!!!!!
My feeling is anything that could possibly help should be done. I was on it with the last pregnancy, but my progesterone level never went above 14 and l m/c again. We are going to try progesterone suppositories this next time. I've heard they are pretty gross, but a small price to pay, I guess. Congrats and good luck.
Meg and Kara, thanks for your replies. I just did not know if i really needed to take if i only had one m/c. Usually Prometrium prescribed when you have more than 2 m/c or have infertility problem. My dr said that I have a very low chance of miscarring again. I have one child who is 3. Then we had m/c, and now I'm expecting again. Pregnancy is very nerve racking because of the previous m/c, but on top of that I have Incompetent cervix, so between 12-14 weeks i should get cerclage to prevent the uteres from opening up. Thanks for your support!

Trump administration needs to clean up its Libya policy mess
Wednesday May 1 2019
Ever since the White House revealed earlier this month that President Donald Trump had called a Libyan warlord who is attacking Tripoli, the US position on Libya has been confused and confusing, with real negative consequences on the ground. Even the Libyan government has no idea what Washington's policy is right now.
The least the Trump administration can do is pick one Libya policy, tell everyone clearly what it is and stick to it. The best choice would be to bolster and defend the internationally recognised government in Tripoli that we were supposed to be supporting in the first place, not the Russian-backed warlord breaking the peace.
Khalifa Hifter, a dual Libyan-US citizen leading a militia in Libya's east, is waging war against the United Nations-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) and attacking Tripoli, with thinly disguised assistance from Russia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. US military forces fighting terrorism have been forced to withdraw from Tripoli as the situation worsens and the GNA pleads for international support.
Khalid al-Mishri, the chairman of Libya's High Council of State, said in a phone interview that the GNA still has no official explanation from the Trump administration as to why Trump called Hifter, recognised his "significant role in fighting terrorism" and discussed a "shared vision for Libya's transition to a stable, democratic political system," as the White House statement said.
"We believe there's a lack of clarity to the United States policy, and we are looking for clarification," said Mishri.
As far as the Libyan government was aware, the United States was fully supportive of the 2015 agreement that established the GNA as the sole legitimate government in Tripoli. On April 7, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged Hifter to halt his offensive. "This shows that there is maybe a difference of opinion between the White House and the State Department, and we are trying to talk to our friends in Washington to find out more about this," Mishri told me.
Several officials told me that Trump's call to Hifter was the work of national security adviser John Bolton, who had spoken to Hifter himself only days prior. Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi and UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan also urged Trump to make the call, officials said.
The GNA is warning that if Hifter's attacks on Tripoli are allowed to proceed, the result will be a security and economic disaster in Tripoli that will have a ripple effect around the region and the world. War inside Tripoli will crash Libya's economy,cause a new refugee crisis, imperil international business interests there, disrupt oil markets and embolden the Islamic State, which thrives on instability, Mishri argued.
The United States has a unique role to play because it is the only country that can influence the various regional players and hopefully persuade them to back off their support for Hifter's offensive, Mishri said. The forces supporting the GNA in Tripoli will defend the city, he said, because they believe in the UN-supported process that has provided Libya with a degree of stability and a path toward democracy.
"What Hifter is trying to do is not fighting terrorism, it is to fight against all his political opponents in the name of fighting terrorists," Mishri said. "A big part of his army are terrorists and extremists that today are doing terrible things to civilians."
US senator Lindsey Graham, who was in Tunisia when the news of the Trump-Hifter phone call broke, told me he witnessed the confusion the phone call caused on the ground. Graham is trying to encourage Trump and the administration to get all the regional players to come to the table and agree on a political path forward to avoid more bloodshed. "It's crystal clear to me if Hifter moves on Tripoli this will ignite a war on a much larger level, it will be a mini Syria, that the regional proxies will up their game, that a vacuum will be created when more [Islamic State] types will be allowed to come back," Graham told me. "There's been confusion created by this phone call. And it's going to end badly if we don't clear it up."
The United States' National Security Council called "inaccurate" an April 24 Bloomberg article that claimed Trump had indicated support for Hifter to attack Tripoli. But several current and former officials told me there's no other way to interpret the phone call and the White House statement as anything other than an implicit endorsement of Hifter's actions.
"When you call Hifter in the middle of a military campaign and note his fighting terrorism, you are effectively endorsing his military campaign," said Philip Gordon, who was the White House coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf Region during the Obama administration. Trump is endorsing might over right and authoritarianism over democratic processes, Gordon said, but that's not the only problem. "Hifter can't even do what Sissi has done militarily, it seems," he said.
The Obama administration deserves some blame for failing to lead in Libya after supporting the overthrow of Moammar Gaddafi, a mistake President Barack Obama said he regrets. But Trump seeming to side with a warlord against the US. and UN policy without explanation is worse than negligent; it undermines both US credibility and the overall drive for stability and democracy in the region.

- Obviously, I didn't do any schoolwork yesterday. That leaves today. Oy.
- The sub-contractor my contractor lined up to do the exterior work has bailed on him, so he is here today trying to get the work done himself. He'd already moved on to another job in another town because he'd finished his end of the work. Or so he thought. Needless to say, the banging is a little distracting.
- Even though it's mostly cloudy, the solar has been running occasionally, helping to bring the internal temperature up a few degrees from the rather chilly start of 61.
- I took a break earlier and vacuumed the entire house. It's a little odd when vacuuming becomes a form of procrastination and not something that you procrastinate to avoid doing.
- I've gotten it in my head that I may need reading glasses. I'm thinking a run to a store might be in order to try on some of those over-the-counter glasses. That doesn't sound like procrastination, does it?

Bullets of Procrastination

I feel snuffly and tired, too, but don't know what's going on. Is it cat allergies and exhaustion from the whole traveling/guest thing? Or more? I am drinking some nice lemon zinger tea now, maybe you should try that.
- Marni said...
Vacuumed? Just because? OMG - I think I need to lay down. You are right, you ARE procrastinating...
- Mary Stebbins Taitt said...
Gypsy Cold Care tea.
You're procrastination sounds so much like mine it's really scary. When I find myself doing housework to avoid doing something else, that's a SURE sign I'm procrastinating! AK.
The more important the thing I'm doing is, the more procrastinating I'm doing.
Food is always a good diversion. I mean we have to eat, right?

From Notes Wiki
Installing lets-encrypt SSL certificate
Lets encrypt provides free automated SSL certificates. This is aservice run by Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). Refer https://letsencrypt.org/about/
Obtaining certificates for apache
To obtain a lets-encrypt SSL certificate for your domain for apache web server on top of CentOS 7.0 follow these steps:
- Install required packages and run cert-bot using:
- yum -y install epel-release
- yum -y install python2-certbot-apache
- certbot --apache
- This assumes use of httpd with one or more VirtualHost(s) in '/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf' file. You can choose to automatically create http to https redirect, if it is desired. That would only add following configuration to corresponding virtualhost
- RewriteEngine on
- RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =mail.rekallsoftware.com
- RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
- The certificate information is created in '/etc/httpd/conf/httpd-le-ssl.conf'
- If mod-ssl is installed then we need to remove line
- Include /etc/httpd/conf/httpd-le-ssl.conf
- from httpd.conf bottom and add it before first VirtualHost for _default in ssl.conf. This way all Listen 443 etc. configuration applies then lets-encrypt SSL certificates are configured and then only default certificates are used for other domains.
- Restart web server
- systemctl restart httpd
- and test that configuration works by opening site in browser
- Test that renewal would work properly. This is important as lets encrypt certificates are valid only for 90 days
- certbot renew --dry-run
- Add 'certbot renew' to cron. It renews only when certificate is close to expiry. Website recommends running it twice daily, which might be an overkill. To run this once every week use:
- 3 5 * * 0 certbot renew
- This would run 'certbot renew' command on 05:03 every Sunday. You should randomize hour and minute while taking above example configuration.
- The above crontab only renews certificates. For automatic restart of various services after renewal, use below instead:
- 3 5 * * 0 certbot renew; systemctl restart httpd; systemctl restart postfix; systemctl restart dovecot;
Using obtained certificates for postfix
For configuring certificates in postfix after they have been created for use with apache:
- Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add:
- smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.rekallsoftware.com/fullchain.pem
- smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.rekallsoftware.com/privkey.pem
- smtpd_tls_security_level = may
- smtp_tls_security_level = may
- smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes
- smtpd_tls_received_header = yes
- Here replace mail.rekallsoftware.com with your verified domain for postfix to use
- systemctl restart postfix
- systemctl status postfix
- Optionally validate using:
- openssl s_client -connect mail.rekallsoftware.com:25 -servername mail.rekallsoftware.com -starttls smtp
- openssl s_client -connect mail.rekallsoftware.com:587 -servername mail.rekallsoftware.com -starttls smtp
- openssl s_client -connect mail.rekallsoftware.com:465 -servername mail.rekallsoftware.com -starttls smtp
- after replacing mail.rekallsoftware.com with desired domain name
- https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9795/69/installing-and-configuring-ssl-on-postfixdovecot-mail-server
- https://www.upcloud.com/support/secure-postfix-using-lets-encrypt/
Using obtained certificate in dovecot
If certificates are already downloaded using apache and the same should be configured for dovecot for POP3 and IMAP, then use:
- Edit /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf and set values as follows:
- ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.rekallsoftware.com/fullchain.pem
- ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.rekallsoftware.com/privkey.pem
- ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3
- ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!SSLv2:!aNULL@STRENGTH
- ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes
- after replacing mail.rekallsoftware.com with appropriate domain. Note that '<' before path is not a typing mistake. It is required.
- systemctl restart dovecot
- Validate certificate with
- openssl s_client -connect mail.rekallsoftware.com:993 -servername mail.rekallsoftware.com
- after replacing mail.rekallsoftware.com with appropriate name

Do you know someone diagnosed with sleep apnea and you dared not ask what exactly? Are you aware that many people are unaware of suffering from this sleep disorder? Can you or someone near you suffer from this disease? Let's find out!
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that affects both sleep quality and also the important breathing process. During sleep, the patient will stop breathing for periods of 10 seconds or longer which will wake him as he struggles to breathe. These absence of breathing are called "apneas". Usually, the patient is unaware of these fighting episodes.
Did you know there are two types of sleep apnea? The first is called OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) caused by relaxed soft tissue that blocks the passage of the air during sleep.
The second type of sleep apnea is called CSA (central sleep apnea) caused by irregular signals from the brain that affect the breathing process. In some cases, patients suffer from a combination of both types of sleep apnea.
Symptoms of sleep apnea are: suffer from excessive sleepiness during the day, have a headache in the morning, feel irritated, affected by mood changes, suffer from anxiety, be affected by depression, become oblivious, sneak high and gas for air, have restless sleep, with difficulty concentrate and even fall asleep during the day. Note that these symptoms vary from person to person. Also note that the severity of the symptoms and the combination of symptoms vary from one patient to another.
Did you know that the first case of sleep apnea diagnosed occurred only in 1965? This is a bit odd when you think so many people suffer from this sleep disorder. First, only people suffering from certain health conditions, such as congestive heart failure, with sleep apnea, were diagnosed. It was also noted that problems with sleep apnea occurred after surgery, especially in obese, overweight or short-necked subjects. It later became apparent that, although noticed in these particular cases, sleep apnea affects not only those who suffer from these conditions or show these specific characteristics.
This type of sleep apnea seems more common in people who have a soft gum or other abnormalities like those that are related to the jaw, people who are overweight or consume alcohol. Did you know that 2% of female and 4% men diagnosed with a mild fall of sleep apnea stop breathing at least ten times an hour?
To evaluate the severity of sleep apnea in a patient, the specialist will evaluate it using the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). If a patient has less than 5 apneas per hour, it is considered normal. If it is between 5 and 15, it is mild, if it is between 15 and 30 it is moderate and over 30 is considered to be difficult.
Also the approximate time for each apnea (respiratory disturbance) is usually about 10 seconds but in more severe cases it can reach 60 seconds.
In some cases, sleep apnea may be caused by an external situation such as an accident, family problems, heart problems and narcolepsy. It was also responsible, either partially or completely for SIDS, also known as a sudden childbirth syndrome.
Sleep apnea is evaluated in a sleep lab. The patient spend the night in this laboratory and is carefully supervised by both a visual instrument technician and various medical resources that will also verify the level of oxygen in the blood, respiratory pattern as well as brain activity.
Well, according to the severity of sleep apnea, one type of treatment may help, while some cases may require a combination of treatments. The available treatments are: medication, anti-depressant medication or relaxing agents, avoiding alcohol, dietary changes, smoking cessation, airway enlargement surgery, patient restraining devices, special cushions, oral devices, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) which is a machine that uses a tube connected to a mask and sends continuous compressed air to keep the airways open.
Sleep apnea can lead to death because it takes a huge toll on the body and affects other systems that can lead to fatal situations such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, stroke or patient falling asleep for example and having a tragic accident.
It is important to know that while people aged 65 to 100 years of age are more susceptible to sleep apnea, it can still affect people who are not overweight, infants and children as well. That's why you have doubts about a close relative, a friend or even yourself. Seeing a doctor who treated sleep apnea can not only improve your quality of life but also gives you the opportunity to live a long and happy life.

When it comes to ink system for printer, you deal with two options, OEM ink cartridge that is already installed inside the printer and CISS (continuous ink system supply). Do you have no idea what to choose? According to those printer owners, continuous ink system is the best option to consider than OEM ink cartridge. Not to say that the latter mentioned is bad at all, in fact it is good, however if you expect more than good, continuous ink system speaks better. Unlike ink cartridge, the ink for this system is stored outside the printer using plastic reservoir.
For that alone, it caters you with better performance. The installation of the ink is located outside the device, it means you have full control toward the ink. You easily can spot if you need to pour more ink or not into its reservoir. It will be different when it comes to ink cartridge as you have no idea the right time when the ink is needed to be refilled. The result? It will be a bother as your work suddenly stop as the ink runs out, which makes Ciss HP as your better solution.
It is not the only thing, choosing Ciss for HP or for any printer brands with inkjet printer model, you have privilege to choose not only two colors, but more. Another good think when it comes this ink system is, the fact that this solution is cost efficient about more than 90% compared to ink cartridge system. The only problem for continuous ink system is the quality of the ink since if you don't pay much attention about this, it ruins your work. But, here is a suggestion for you in case if you look one within few trusted vendors for continuous ink system. It is Printout24 that provides you high quality ink and also other necessity for continuous ink system with competitive price.

Synopsis: As "Red Hot" premieres, Candy, Harvey and Frankie get caught between competing investors. Vincent and Abby must deal with an unexpected loss. Lori is afraid to go to LA without C.C.'s permission. Paul turns to a familiar source to help finance Tod's dream. Darlene comes clean. Goldman and Alston's plan for cleaning up Times Square hits a roadblock. (HBO)
Writer: David Simon
Director: Minkie Spiro
Rating: TV-MA
Running Time: 70mins
Airs: Sundays at 9pm on HBO Canada (Canada)/HBO (United States)
In this season finale, Frankie's backroom dealings catch up to him, the ghost of C.C. continues to haunt Lori, Bobby finally sees what's going on, Darlene takes a big step, and another main character dies.
This episode started with Lori not looking so good. She was at the New York premiere for Candy's movie "Red Hot". Candy arrived fashionably late and became the talk of the party. The movie was set to have a big opening and Candy even made into Variety. Lori's uneasiness continued since she was still worried about C.C.. Meanwhile, Candy's relationship with her editor ended after some remarks he made in front of his old friends.
The advent of VHS would prove to be lucrative for the porn industry. Candy was also invited to promote her movie on a late night talk show where she would only be asked misogynistic questions and be the butt of a few jokes. . Lori was unwilling to go to the premiere of Red Hot in L.A. without C.C.'s permission. To try and calm her down, Frankie told her that C.C. was dead and wasn't coming back. This appeared to have the opposite effect as she started crying.
Wasserman was confronted by the mobsters who Rudy sold 115% of Red Hot to. He was angry but Candy seem unfazed as her name was getting out there regardless. With the success of her movie, she wanted to take her son Adam on vacation liked she promised though she was stopped at the door by her parents who forbade her to go near him or back to their house. Candy's late night appearance revealed herself to rest of the world which put a target on Adam who got beat up for it.
Vincent spent some quality time with Andrea and his family. We haven't seen her in a while but she was doing good. They talked about life and he now was where she was when they were together. Meanwhile, Alston found Ashley's decomposing body and Black Frankie conspicuously performed a hit on Carlos (Gino Vento), one of Rudy's problem guys who worked at Bobby's parlor. Abby just happened to be looking for Ashley as she was giving her the money envelopes that Vincent was getting from Rudy. After what happened to Carlos, Bobby was worried that he or Vincent could be next. Vincent appropriately called him out on his timing.
While working at a clothing store, Darlene got recognized for her other work and promptly got rid of her admirer which led to her telling the truth to her friend from school. Meanwhile. hearing the news of Ashley's demise led Loretta (Sepidah Moafi) to attack Larry who was already confronting Darlene about going behind his back and making money without him. Larry denied it but this incident was enough to convince Loretta to stop prostituting and get a job at the Hi-Hat. Darlene also made a stand and left Larry who surprisingly seemed okay with it. Her hope was that they would never have to see one another again.
In other news:
- When Abby got the news about Ashley, she was devastated. Vincent made sure that Ashley was properly buried but also noticed that the underage girl they had buried had no headstone.
- Alston made his requests in exchange for shadowing Goldman. The police brass just wanted a heads up if something were to happen. Alston was also promoted to sergeant.
- Rodney completed his master plan to rob a pharmacy but failed miserably, leading to Maddix getting shot and turning the sleazebag officer into a hero.
- For his troubles , Frankie got sent back to the peep show.
- Paul wanted to help his friend Tod (Aaron Dean Eisenberg) with his dream of starting his own theatre group. He asked Tommy for money for the last time but getting out wasn't going to be easy.
The episode ended with a final sequence of everyone moving on, ending with Vincent disappearing behind the dancers in his nightclub.
Overall, this was a good season finale that set a few more characters on the right path. The editing was a little wonky here as different scenes felt cut off and the transitions were awkward. It was a shame that they chose to kill Ashley off-screen and give Rodney a whole subplot since Ashley was a much much better character. Same goes with Lori whose C.C. anxiety and subsequent cure felt rushed. At least half of the episode should have been about Candy and her movie since more could have happened with it but at least it gave us the shot of a battered Adam watching his mom walk away after getting shunned by her parents. Seeing Andrea was a surprise, however, Vincent or Abby didn't go too much further which was also a shame. Darlene left Larry and so do Larry in a way as he appeared to give up pimping. With C.C. and Larry and Lori and Darlene moving on, there are no longer any main pimps or prostitutes in the series. With so many characters, it was already difficult to satisfy everyone but this episode did a good enough job. Ultimately, it will be interesting to see where these characters go come the third and final season.
Score: 8.5/10

Miriam Cahn
Galerie Stampa
A series of black and white, and colored drawings hung around the walls of a single room, like a frieze of strictly chronological, individual works offering itself to be read. One could devine the process of creation without reducing the works to one narrative line that would limit the multiplicity of associations. In many pieces Miriam Cahn drew an arm with hand and fingers. Extended in a flowing movement, rising and sinking simultaneously, this isolated body part appeared as an independent entity, caught somewhere between sensual presence and material dissolution. Entire figures breathed in erotic proximity and at a distance, from the shadows. The gestural in these drawings was not the expression of internal agitation, but, rather, the trace of a physical struggle with paper. Each work was precisely dated, but this did not give the effect of the intimacy and system of a personal journal.

The past couple of days have been very strange for me, as I left my job yesterday ready embark on a new career! It still doesn't feel like I have actually gone, and today just feels like a day off. I worked for the company since leaving school almost six and a half years ago, and although I was more than ready to move on to bigger and better things, I will definitely miss it, especially all the friends I've made!
Today I went out for a spot of lunch and shopping with my sister and parents. We went to an amazing little Chinese restaurant for lunch, then had a look round the town centre, stopping off at Sainsburys on our way home. They have 25% off all TU clothing and accessories at the minute, so I snapped up some gorgeous clothes for my new job which you may have seen if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter!
This is the outfit I wore out, including a beautiful Glamorous skirt I got recently from Zalando. I love the pretty colours and feminine shape, but decided to toughen it up a little with leather and studs.
Jacket – Topshop
T Shirt – Topshop
Boots – Primark
Necklace – Primark
Lips – Chatterbox by MAC
As you can see, the skirt is really unusual with the block colour detail. I've seen a few of these around on the high street but never really took much notice of them. This one caught my eye though for some reason, probably the colour combination as I've never seen one in these shades! The only problem I have with it, is it is pretty see through, but nothing a slip or long vest won't solve. I wore a long Topshop fitted vest underneath it, a basic bodycon one that wouldn't ruin the rest of the look, and that worked just fine. I can see this skirt working really well in my new work wardrobe too, with pretty blouses and jumpers in winter, and even next season with sandals and simple tees!
What do you think of this skirt? Have you bought anything from Zalando recently?
Love this outfit, it's so edgy with the leather jacket and boots teamed with the girly skirt! Good luck with your new job! 🙂
Frances xx
Good luck with your career move. Its so hard to leave what you know and start somewhere totally new. The skirt is amazing love how you have hardened it up with the leather and boots looks fab x
I love the skirt and the way you make it a bit more edgy for the autumn!
where did you get your blog design from/ who did it?!
Love this 🙂 You look utterly gorgeous! I love the jacket and the skirt is super pretty xx
Skirt is really beautiful!

This almost never happens, but with a week until Christmas, I shall count my blessings. If you have a bank of Alaska or Virgin miles, both became more valuable overnight, depending on how you plan to redeem them.
Back-tracking for a second, Alaska Airlines is acquiring and merging with San Francisco based Virgin America. This means that you will have added reciprocity in the coming months. Most recently announced is the transfer ratio of Virgin miles to Alaska. Starting January 9th, 2017, one Virgin "Elevate" mile will convert to 1.3 Alaska Air "Mileage Plan" miles. So 1,000 Elevate mile nets you 1,300 Mileage Plan miles.
Why is this is a big deal?
While your 1:1.3 transfer rate from Virgin to Alaska was announced, Alaska Air simultaneously published an IMPROVED domestic award chart. You can now fly one-way for just 5,000 Mileage Plan miles on flights under 700 miles. This means travel between The Bay Area and Seattle will run you just 5,000 miles. (Previously 12,500) For travel between Orange County, CA and San Jose, CA, you'd previously need 7,500 miles one-way, but now it will run you only 5,000 miles.
Let's say you have a bunch of Virgin Elevate miles sitting around, this merger increases both the value of your miles and opens up new routing. You'll need only 7,700 Virgin Elevate miles (transferred to Alaska at 1:1.3) for a round-trip from San Jose to Seattle or Portland. The cheapest non-stop round-trip flight from San Jose to Seattle in January is showing $177. If you redeem 7,700 Virgin Elevate Miles for that $177 ticket, you'd be redeeming at 2.3 cents per point. That is pretty good for domestic travel in economy.
Status Update
More good news for Virgin Elevate flyers who now hold status. Starting January 9th, 2017 you'll automatically matched to the corresponding Alaska Air status! The Alaska and Virgin merger is pushing them up the rank to become the 5th largest airline in the country. You can read about the perks and benefits of MVP, MVP Gold, and MVP Gold 75k status, here.
In other news
This is a major deal, or deal-breaker, Alaska and Delta will be ending their partnership on April 30th, 2017. This means no more codeshare flights, which was a huge benefit when redeeming your Delta SkyMiles. Thanks to my Delta SkyMiles, I am taking a Korean Air flight from ICN > SEA > PHX next Spring. My last leg home from SEA to PHX is on an AS, which just so happens to be a new 737-900. Sadly, this code sharing won't be continuing after April 30th. My only options on Delta metal between SEA and PHX moving forward will be; 717, E175, CRJ-700. All these planes are smaller regional jets and not super comfortable for the 2:45hr flight.
Perhaps you have status or miles with Virgin, this announcement is great news for you. If you have miles with Alaska and you plan to use them for short-haul West Coast flights, their new award chart now very beneficial for you. Now, if you have Delta SkyMiles and benefit from their current partnership with Alaska Air, the news of the ending partnership is not good for you.

This pH test paper is very economical. pH Test paper will tell you what pH Zone your body is currently in. It will also help guide you on how to get your body out of a dangerously acidic state, and into the OPTIMAL pH Zone!
The VERY ACIDIC pH Zone: 4.5 - 5.75
This "danger zone" is NOT where you want your pH to be. If you're in this pH Zone, you MUST take serious steps to correct this acidity. If your pH is in this range, your body is 50 to 100 times too acidic! An internal terrain like this is poison to your cells.
The ACIDIC pH Zone: 6.0 - 6.5
In this "caution" zone, your body is 5 to 10 times too acidic. Making alterations to your diet and supplementing these diet changes with alkalizing elements will help to bring your pH back up to The OPTIMAL pH Zone.
The OPTIMAL pH Zone : 6.75 - 7.25
If your pH Composite Reading is in this zone, congratulations! Keep up the good work by maintaining an alkalizing lifestyle.
On the pH (potential hydrogen) scale, 7 is neutral, below 7 is acidic above 7 is alkaline.
How do the pH test strips work? The pH test can be done with saliva or urine:
A saliva test should be done at least two hours after eating or drinking, or first thing in the morning. Drop some fresh saliva in a spoon , and dip the pH test strip into the saliva. Shake off access.
When testing urine, do not put pH test strip in the stream of urine, since it may wash the active chemical substances from the strip. Only two or three drops of urine are required on the pH test strip.
The test strip color changes must be matched with the pH scale color chart within about 15 seconds.

When you move halfway across the world, there are some differences you can anticipate, but there will always be things that surprise you. In coming to study at the University of Twente, I have faced a healthy mixture of both.
One of the differences I expected, and was most excited about, was the density and proximity of everything in Europe. Cities lying mere minutes away from one other? Crossing the country in a matter of hours? Taking a day trip to another country?! These are mind-blowing concepts when you've spent your life growing up in rural Canada. So I have made the best of my time here, going on day trips with the ESN group to various Dutch cities and taking trips of my own both within and outside of the country. I will always cherish the memories and friends made on these adventures. I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge the Netherlands' nationally integrated public transportation system; it is a thing of beauty and I shall weep when I must be parted with it.
Something completely unexpected to me was the level of seriousness that goes into student groups here in the Netherlands. The variety of extracurricular activities, the amount of student responsibility, the range of roles possible for involvement, and just the overall sense of dedication are above and beyond anything I have previously experienced as a student. If you truly want to get to the heart of Dutch student life, join an association!
One of the things I thought I was prepared for was the international community, having previously attended a school with a large number of foreign students. But the UT is something else entirely. In my short few months here, I have met people from every continent, and made close friends from no fewer than 20 countries. And it's one thing to meet international students in your own country, but quite another experience being one yourself. Your fellow international friends become something like family. Having such a wide network of friends from around the world will be a wonderful thing, both personally and professionally, to be able to carry forward with me.

Baking: a new Gingerbread Cookie recipe - it received 'rave reviews' from my family. This recipe is a 'keeper' (I'll post the recipe soon ).
Enjoying: the last of my 'Linda' roses -- still pretty in early December and it makes me smile every time I see it (Mr. Snowman agrees!)
Wrestling: 'Grandbabe' quilts on my dining room table -- two are bound and ready to be wrapped up for Christmas -- one more to go and my holiday quilting will be done.
Knitting: a tiny Elf hat and scarf for a special little girl who still 'believes'. Who knew you could 'stitch' some Christmas magic with needles and yarn !
Dreaming: of a new project - one that will take me a year to finish and I can't wait to start (but, first I'll need more than one skein of yarn!)
Lots to do over the next couple of weeks - but, I'm taking my time to savor each task and remember the real reason for this holiday.

BISD Construction Update
Our team at Capital Projects have been busy bees this summer, tackling construction projects at Blakely and Bainbridge High School.
- BLAKELY: The finish-line is in sight! The new Blakely Elementary will open to students on Monday, Sept. 9. As a reminder, completing the building was Phase I of the project. Phase II includes constructing he play areas and fields, parking lots and landscaping. The entire project should be wrapped up by November 2019.
- Teachers are setting up classrooms in new spaces remodeled in the BHS 300 building. The bright and light-filled classrooms have flexible areas for break-out learning opportunities, a modern kitchen and appropriate spaces for occupational and physical therapies.
- The BHS 100 Building demolition was supposed to happen earlier this summer. However, the construction crew is working on unforeseen challenges that need to be addressed before the building is taken down. Underground utilities were discovered that were not included in the decades-old 100 Building drawings used as a reference. These utilities need to be re-routed prior to demolition. Meanwhile, crews have completed asbestos abatement and building salvage.
- Demolition of the 100 Building is currently scheduled within the next couple of weeks. While we had hoped to accomplish this while students were on summer break, we will adhere to required safety practices during demolition. Note: When the original 200 Building was constructed in 2008 we worked through a similar process as students were on-site.
- The construction areas are fenced and clearly marked. As a reminder under no circumstances should anyone enter these areas.
