I went to visit my mother last weekend. She lives in a nursing home in Georgia, about three hours from here. Just about the time I drove in to town, the nursing home began a quarantined lock down of the facility. Some kind of bacterial infection was spreading and as a result, no visitors. I spent two nights there, visiting with my sisters waiting for the quarantine to lift. I finally had to head back home. I never got to see my mother.
Mom never knew the difference. The reality is, she probably still wouldn't have known I was there, even if I had been able to hold her hand and kiss her cheek. Her memory began slipping slowly at first, but not long before my father died in 2011, the descent became significantly steeper and darker. I don't think she remembers the day he died. It's hard for my sisters and me, but Mom's not remembering that he is gone is a blessing. She doesn't feel the pain of living without him.
Really, the trip to visit my mom was mostly for me, not her. Sometimes you just need to see your mom. You need a reminder that someone really has loved you all your life, even when you've not been your best self. You need to look into another face that you see glimpses of when you look in the mirror. It reminds you that you are not the only one. You need to remember because she can't. You also need to forget some things too.
I have a special memory of my mother that always seems to surface around Mother's Day. I was a preschooler riding in the front seat on the passenger side of a sedan that my Aunt Alma was driving. This was before car seats and seat belt laws. I was barely tall enough to see out of the window, but I had my head turned towards it as I peered out.
A drunk driver coming from the opposite direction swerved over into our lane and crashed into us head on. I remember the loud noise and how my head bounced back and forth off the window several times. There was a full service gas station nearby that not only pumped gas for you, they also worked on engines and such. As people rushed to help, somebody from that station handed me a greasy red rag filled with ice and told me to hold it on my right eye and not let go. The gasoline smell of that rag almost took my breath away.
I don't remember how I got to the hospital. I do remember that I didn't see anyone there that I recognized. The nurses made me lie down on a cold, metal table and they put my head in a green foam form to immobilize it for the x-rays and scans. Once they determined that my greatest injury was just a black eye, they sat me up on a high counter near the reception area. My four-year-old legs dangled over the edge while I sat there alone, just waiting.
From there I could see the ER doors that opened automatically when someone approached. The sun outside was very bright and the light inside was dim, so I couldn't really see any faces or details of the people coming through those doors. I only saw dark silhouettes. I watched figure after figure pass by. Then, finally, I didn't have to see her face to know it was her. I recognized my mother as she came through those doors simply by the shadowy outline of her permed hair and the curved shape of her hips. She ran in, put her arms around me and scooped me off that counter. I know I must have ended up with one heck of a headache that day, but I have no recollection of pain. The only physical feeling I remember is finally having my mother's arms around me.
You forget the pain when you remember the blessing. My mother knew that. Jesus taught us both that.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy. Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world. Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you." (John 16:20-22)

Shared Governance Council
Summary of Shared Governance
The practice of shared governance involves conversations about policies, procedures, and issues of values, culture, management, as well as operating frameworks, such as legislation, which are externally imposed, with an opportunity to present alternatives to such matters.
The College believes shared governance is essential to the health and growth of an academic institution and embraces it as an important and effective way to ensure decisions made reflect the perspectives, expertise, and best interests of its stakeholders, including students, all employee groups, and citizens by way of the Board of Trustees.
Each constituency group at College of DuPage is invited to participate on the Shared Governance Council and engage in discourse with the ultimate task of ensuring collaboration on institutionally important topics. Collectively, Shared Governance Council makes a recommendation in support or opposition of actions to be taken by the decision-making entities at College of DuPage.
Shared Governance Council will serve an advisory role to those who make decisions at the College and as a repository for campus-wide committees as a means to prevent redundancy among work completed and actions taken at the College.
Current Shared Governance Guidelines
Functions of Shared Governance Council
- Act as a clearinghouse for institutional issues while fully exploring them from both a professional skills perspective and as the liaison of constituency groups;
- Prepare a formal recommendation to the President to influence decision-making;
- Receive feedback regarding action taken based on recommendations, or in contradiction of recommendations;
- Act as a repository of committee work that affects the institution's direction;
- Produce an annual outcomes report proving the need for shared governance within the decision-making process;
- Visualization of Shared Governance Council
Current Council Members
Cabinet:Dr. Ann Rondeau
Administrators: Sandra Martins, Nathania Montes
Full-time Faculty: Richard Jarman, Jackie McGrath
Adjunct Faculty: Phillip Perillo, Bonniejean Alford (Vice Chair)
Managerial Staff: Judy Coates, David Virgilio
Classified Staff: Sue Kerby, Trisha Sowatzke
Police Department: Officer Raul Valladares (Chair)

ANTIPAST as the fashion brand was presented in 1992 by two Japanesse designers Junko Jinushi and Kyoko Kato. The word "antipasto" in Italy stands for a small dish before the main meal. While Italian antipasto raises the appetite before an amazing dinner, ANTIPASTO fashion brand creates the "inspiration for fashion", according to the creators. On the other hand, the game of words "anti-past" symbolizes creativity, fresh ideas and decisions, as well as the excitement before wearing something totally new and undiscovered.

Hey y'all! I can't believe it's been a week since my last post. I had every intention of posting while I was on vacation, but then the whole lack of wi-fi got in the way. I'm very good at relaxing though, it's one of my many talents, so I enjoyed the little hiatus from the blogosphere.
|Is this not the most relaxing view ever?
I snapped a few pics of some pretty houses and lovely views for y'all.
|This house had gorgeous copper lining the roof. I wish I'd gotten better picture.
|Here it is bit closer
|I love the big screened in porch. How gorgeous are the flowers?
|I love the smaller one-story houses in Sea Island as well.
|How about that lawn? It was beautiful! This house is on the beach believe it or not.
|This is the house we used to stay in. It's being renovated and I cannot wait to see the finished result. It was such a beautiful home that needed a lot of TLC. I'm so happy to see the new owners are keeping the architectural integrity of the home.
|The view while walking down Sea Island Drive. There are so many beautiful old trees.
|I love all of the pink and green!
|I've walked up and down this beach a hundred times. I love that it's so quiet.
|In my opinion, the most beautiful house on the beach.

4 Hospitals, 2 Dispensaries and organizing Yoga camp in various remote part of India.
Swami Vivekananda in his lectures at Chicago starting from 11 September 1893 gave a call for Universal Brotherhood. He said that the man on this earth has continued too long to be fanatic about insisting that his religion alone was true and other religions being false had no right to exist. He also stressed that as long as this situation persists there can be only bloodshed in the name of religion and no brotherhood which, the practice of religion should actually bring about, would be possible.
At present though it appears that fanaticism and terrorism is engulfing the whole world, actually it is like the flame that flickers the brightest before getting extinguished. Swami Vivekananda had said that, "Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendants, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled this earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilisation and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these possible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time has come…"

While I realize that Transrisk isn't FICO it does seem to rougly move up and down the same so I use it daily to track my progress with Credit Karma. Then I pull my FICO every few months and check it.
I recently bought a new car and went from a 22% interest rate on our old car to a 5% rate on the new one. I also in the past seven months got two new credit cards.
Doing these three things have hurt my Transrisk score somewhat. It seems the main reason is that it made my Average Age of OPEN Accounts too new. I have lots of really old accounts that are closed and those don't seem to matter since they only go by open accounts.
They say that my credit utilization being 35% is pretty good and that my ontime payments being 99% isn't bad and that my AAOOA is kind of bad.
I am fighting to get my score up by next Spring/Summer so we can get a construction loan and it surprises me that having a perfect payment history for over 3 years and a reasonably low utiliztion aren't helping me more. I am still in the low 600s.
I tried having my wife add me to her Target card which is a 4 year old card, but after 2 months it hasn't shown up on my credit report, which isn't a surprise since all they asked for was my name and no other personal info.
I would assume that the decrease in your car loan interest rate is indicative of the improvement of your CR. Keep doing what you're doing!
Does the true FICO score only go by the age of your open accounts or does it go by the age of all the accounts on your report?
Closed accounts count too. Paid closed accounts in good standing will stay on your account for 10 years.
i belive it counts all.
after 10 years or reporting closed the account falls off your reports.
and 7 years for baddies from dod.

Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the entire Genkyotex team, I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in our project. I am thrilled to welcome you to our new website and introduce our Group that is now listed, following the strategic operation with Genticel, which you supported.
Our unique therapeutic approach is based on the selective inhibition of NOX enzymes and covers a broad range of disease processes, including fibrosis, inflammatory pain, cancer growth, and neurodegeneration. These diseases are responsible for almost 45% of all deaths in the developed world*.
We have developed a platform capable of identifying orally available small-molecules that selectively inhibit specific NOX enzymes. Our portfolio of drug candidates enables one or multiple NOX enzymes to be targeted. Our lead product candidate, GKT831, a NOX1 and NOX4 inhibitor, is expected to be tested in a phase II clinical trial in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC, an orphan fibrotic disease) during the first half of 2017. This product candidate may also be active in other fibrotic indications. Our second drug candidate, GKT771, a NOX1 inhibitor targeting multiple pathways in pain processing, and inflammation, should go through a clinical trial in the second half of 2017.
Our recent strategic operation with Genticel was a major milestone for Genkyotex. It turned our company into a listed Group, with a stronger financial structure. Our improved cash position will allow us to perform a clinical trial with GKT831, start early clinical development with GKT771, and continue our discovery activities in other therapeutic fields. The licensing agreement signed between Genticel and Serum Institute of India Ltd., in 2015, could also generate substantial additional revenue in the longer term.
We are delighted to have you onboard as we achieve another milestone in Genkyotex's development. We will continue to work hard to develop our first-in-class drugs with substantial therapeutic potential for application such as fibrosis and inflammatory pain.

Article The Answer to American Idol's Problems Is...
All over the new Internet these past few weeks, there have been many articles analyzing "what is wrong with American Idol?" Although still profitable, the show has lost its cachet and impact, along with it status as ratings juggernaut. One might have thought a few years ago that it didn't matter who the judges were or what kind of contestants populated the staged, but the last several painful years has shown this to be far from true. There have been possible solutions batted about but I have not seen the one answer that I believe to be the one.

This month I wrap up the rewrite of Seduced by the Screenwriter, Book 2 in the Hollywood in Muskoka series. Then it will be sent off to beta readers in September and my editor in October. If all goes well, the book will be published on Amazon in November!
Seduced by the Screenwriter is the most roller-coaster-emotional and hottest romance I've ever written. It's fun—the heroine gets to dress up in movie costumes—as well as serious. Catrina has PTSD and Chett is afraid of dogs. The theme is "love conquers fear."
Beautiful police diver Catrina Turner abandoned her career after a traumatic underwater dive and moved to Muskoka, Canada's upscale vacation destination for the rich and famous. She and her retired police service dog Titan provide security services to wealthy celebrities.
When Hollywood screenwriter Chett de Groot invites Catrina to role-play love scenes in costumes from old movies, she discovers how satisfying acting can be. Soon she's ad libbing passionate lines in scorching "performances." But then Chett returns to Hollywood, and Catrina realizes the emotional pain from her past is nothing compared to the agony of a broken heart.
Here's a taste from the chapter entitled The Seduction of Miss Prudence Maxwell.
Set up: Catrina is dressed in the demure floor-length skirt and jacket, hat and gloves that Chett sent over to her place earlier. She has arrived at the luxurious lake house for dinner on a frigid January evening.
Catrina followed Chett into the Great Room. Drafts ruffled flames of stubby white candles in glass holders on the fireplace mantle, on the round table in the dining nook set for two, and on every flat surface in the room. Green-tipped flames leaped in the wood-burning fireplace. Enchanting flattering light gilded the space, not quite reaching shadowed corners.
"There was no electricity in Virginia City, California in the 1880s," Chett explained as he handed her a glass of chilled chardonnay.
"Virginia City. The setting for tonight, I presume." She sipped the wine and held the cool glass to one cheek. "My, it's warm in here."
"Your comfort means everything to me." He lifted her free hand and pressed the back to his lips. Her heartbeat quickened as cocky blue eyes met hers. "Big Joe Grifter, ma'am, at your service. Itinerant gambler, rustler, and all around rake."
She pressed a hand to her heart in a decorous pretend swoon. Deep within, her blood heated in anticipation. Ohhhh, a bad boy. "And I am—?"
"Until today your name was Miss Prudence Maxwell, innocent daughter of an impecunious gentleman who regrettably fares poorly at poker."
"My father's broke."
"Not only that, in his most recent game he bet his daughter's hand in marriage. And lost. Or rather, it was my lucky night at the card table."
Catrina tossed her curls. "Ahhh. I expect I am not terribly keen on becoming the wife of a stranger who is patently a blackguard."
"Precisely, my dear Prudence. However you no longer have the option to refuse me. Despite tears and protestations on your part, your papa dragged you to the preacher this afternoon and we were married to pay his considerable debt. Tonight is our, ah, wedding night."
He raised his glass to her in salute. A self-satisfied grin curled the corners of his mouth. It was the smile of a man who'd won the girl and was primed to enjoy the spoils. The arrogant confidence he wore like royalty had nothing to do with the part he was supposedly playing.
"Prudence" sipped her wine to moisten a suddenly dry throat. Assuredly, she'd have a difficult time pretending to resist the advances of this handsome new husband of hers. She'd have to rely on her lines. "May I read the script?"
"Naturally." He handed her a few sheets of paper and returned to the kitchen to check on the meal. She placed her wine glass and script on the coffee table and arranged the bulky skirt to sit gracefully on the white leather sofa.
While he gathered dinner plates and cutlery, she scanned the typed pages. It only took a minute. She turned them over. Blank. A seduction scene was nowhere to be found. "The dialogue ends right after dessert." She tried and failed to keep disappointment out of her tone.
"You taught me to believe in improvisation," Chett called from behind the granite counter. "If at any time you draw a blank, the words 'more' and 'again' are useful."
Her lips twitched and she lay the script down. Delightful anticipation squelched hunger. The tight corset left little room in her stomach for food anyway. The sooner Big Joe and Prudence dispensed with the preliminaries, the better.

EPC & ECO (Warden) Training
It is the responsibility of the Senior Officers of all organisations to establish an Emergency Planning Committee (EPC) who must ensure a suitable site specific Emergency Plan and Procedures is prepared for their facility.
ECO Training
It is the responsibility of the Emergency Planning Committee to ensure all members of the ECO and its Fire Wardens are fully trained in order to be able to effectively implement the Emergency Plan, and be able to use Fire Equipment if that was the organisation's policy.
Members of the ECO must also be trained to conduct Annual Evacuation Exercises.
Click on the more tab for additional information.More
ECO and Staff Skills Retention via Online Learning
According to AS3745-2010, the members of the ECO must undergo Skills Retention Training at least 6 monthly. This Skills retention requirement can ideally be met by an Online Training Module for the Fire Wardens, whilst an Online Fire Extinguisher Module can help general staff understand the operation and use of Fire Extinguishers.
Click on the more tab for additional information.More
Emergency Plan
The Emergency Plan and Emergency Response Procedures are to be prepared in accordance with Australian Standard AS3745-2010 and its recent Amendment 1 and in Health Care Facilities to AS4083-2010.
Statcom Systems has trained Emergency Planning Consultants who will help establish an AS3745 compliant Emergency Plan which will allow the organisation to be ready and able to respond effectively to an emergency.
Once an Emergency Plan has been established by the EPC, they must put in place an Emergency Control Organisation (ECO), responsible for the carrying out of the Emergency Plan. The ECO in association with the EPC will then prepare Emergency Response Procedures to ensure each emergency can be effectively responded to.
Emergency Response Procedures
The Emergency Response Procedures must be recorded in a written form and published in a site specific Emergency Response Procedures Manual for all to review, and must comply with AS3745-2010.
Evacuation Exercises
Emergency Evacuation Exercises must be carried out regularly to test the suitability of the Emergency Response Procedures which should then be revised if the Evacuation Exercise demonstrates that there are flaws in the current Emergency Response Procedures.
Evacuation Diagrams and Signs
Evacuation Diagrams and Signs are located throughout each facility to educate and inform all occupiers as to the location of all fire equipment, the nearest emergency exits, the Assembly Areas and who to call in the event of an emergency. The Evacuation Diagrams must comply with AS3745-2010 and its most recent Amendment 1.
Emergency Planning Consultants
Statcom Systems is able to provide professional services via its team of Emergency Planning Consultants to help prepare the Emergency Plans and Procedures, ensure all responsible staff and occupiers are trained, to help conduct the Evacuation Exercise and prepare all the Evacuation Diagrams for the facility. All Statcom Emergency Planning Consultants have completed the necessary Units of Competency in Emergency Procedures and also hold Queensland Occupational Licences.
Contact Statcom Systems on (03) 9894 3888 today to talk to an Emergency Planning Consultant. We would be happy to meet with you onsite to discuss your specific organisational needs and to review your current Emergency Plans and Procedures, ECO Training needs and the supply or update of your Evacuation Diagrams.
Alternatively, send a meeting request to firstname.lastname@example.com and one of Statcom's Emergency Planning Consultants will call to confirm your proposed meeting time.

"The service at check-in was excellent and the attendant was very helpful. If you are looking for a resort that has everything you need... look no further... Eagle Crest Resort is that place for the entire family to enjoy spending time together. The condo that we rented exceeded our expectations and had everything that we needed. It was conveniently located to all that we needed. I would encourage anyone to stay at Eagle Crest Resort if you are looking at Central Oregon." - Stayed June 2015
"We spent a week here and had a wonderful time. We had a two bedroom condo and it was beautiful and well-equipped. Very roomy and right on the golf course. The kitchen was better equipped than my own. There is so much to do here. Pools, tennis, racquetball, basketball, bike rentals, golf, hiking, horseback riding, spa, and it is right on the Deschutes River. Especially nice was the golf putting course. Perfect for golfers that don't want to take up too much time playing the regular courses. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this resort!" - Stayed May 2015
"My husband and I stayed at the Lodge at Eagle Crest for several days last week for a birthday getaway to play golf. We enjoyed our stay at The Lodge. Walking down the hall to have a nice breakfast at the Aerie Café was so nice. We played at two of the three golf courses at the resort, and loved them both. Dinner at Niblick & Greene's Restaurant was convenient and always excellent. We will definitely try to go again." - Stayed April 2015
"Excellent accommodations and service. A real value as well. We played six rounds of golf on the three courses in four days. The condo was clean and the hot tub was also clean and set at the right temperature." - Stayed June 2015
"Eagle Crest has been one of our favorite locations for many years, and this most recent trip did not disappoint. The location is close enough to Redmond & Bend, yet far enough away that it's wonderfully quiet, and peaceful. We stayed over on a weekend, in a chalet on the ridge. All of the utensils, cookware and small appliances were provided. We used the BBQ grill on the deck one night, and enjoyed a quiet dinner with birds singing for background music. We escaped the chilly air and used the jacuzzi tub indoors. It was perfect. Can't wait to return" - Stayed May 2015
"Stayed at the Lodge at Eagle Crest for 3 nights and had a great time. I was attending a conference and ended up in a king suite which had a separate bedroom with a king size bed and a small living room... Nice veranda off the living room overlooking the golf course which was nice in the late afternoons. I really like the shower with one of those huge shower heads. Small fridge and microwave that worked fine. Folks that work here are out to make your stay the best it can be. NO problems. I highly recommend the Lodge at Eagle Crest. Lots to do here!" - Stayed July 2015
"Everything from check in to check out was fabulous. The room was very nice, great view, extremely clean and well put together. Very close to conference center which made going to meetings very easy. Highly recommend Eagle Crest Resort." - Stayed July 2015

Brazil fans lamented an epically bad first half—down 5-0 midway in the match—in its semifinal 7-1 loss to Germany this afternoon, and social media's amateur comedians were out in full force to have fun with the unexpected rout. While some indeed made fun of weeping women and children, other fast-thinking Twitter users took the high road, delivering some good-natured teasing that merited a hearty LOL.

Stockholm Ferries and Boats
From: Stockholm Transportation
Stockholm is a maritime city, and--especially during the summer season--ferries offer convenient shortcuts between its major islands.
In the city center, you'll see antique Djurgården pedestrian ferries zigging and zagging through the harbor almost constantly. These antique ferries carry some 2.4 million passengers a year, primarily in summer.
The Djurgården-Skeppsholmen-Slussen line operates year-round, with departures every 15 to 30 minutes during summer and a limited schedule the rest of the year. The ferries are part of Stockholm's SL transit network, so you can ride them with SL zone tickets and travel cards. (Transfers between the ferries and SL buses or tunnelbana trains are free, and you can bring your bicycle on board unless the boat is crowded.)
Other ferries serve the suburbs or towns in the archipelago of 28,000 islands between Stockholm and the Baltic Sea. For timetables and other information, see Fjäderholmslinjen and Waxholmsbolaget.
Sightseeing and excursion boats
The harbors of Stockholm are jammed with excursion boats of every variety, from historic steamers to modern tour boats.
Strömma offers a good selection of boat tours, including a "hop-on hop-off" boat that stops at the major sights. You can take either the Royal Canal Tour or the Historical Canal Tour free with the Stockholm Card.
Strömma Kanalbolaget has sailings to Drottningham Palace, archipelago tours aboard the 1912-vintage Gustafsberg VII, brunch cruises on the steamboat S.S. Stockholm (see photo), a full-day "thousand islands" cruise with the Waxholm III, and other sailings. (I enjoyed the Stockholm cruise during a September visit; the three-hour roundtrip to Waxholm included a smorgåsbord-style buffet.)
Cinderella Båtarna uses modern, multi-deck boats on its day trips, lunch cruises, and dinner cruises in the archipelago. In December, it sails to Utö's Christmas Fair.
Finally, Waxholmsbolaget (already mentioned under "Ferries" above) offers both transportation and excursions on its fleet of classic steamers, fast ferries, and year-round vessels.

This species is listed as Least Concern as, thanks to successful conservation efforts, it no longer approaches the thresholds for Vulnerable under any of the IUCN criteria. Although it has a very small range and small population, the species is now increasing in numbers.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to Madeira and formerly the neighbouring island of Porto Santo, Portugal. It is found predominantly on the island's mountainous northern slopes, but can also be seen on a few isolated laurel forest pockets in the south. It was very abundant in the early years of human colonisation, but subsequently declined dramatically to c.2,700 birds in 1986 (Oliveira et al. 1999). However, the population recovered rapidly soon after the ban on hunting in 1986. Since then, estimates put the population at between 8,500 and 10,000 individuals (Oliveira et al. 2007, BirdLife International 2010, P. Sepúlveda in litt. 2011) in approximately 160 km2 of suitable habitat (P. Oliveira in litt. 1999, Oliveira et al. 1999). The most recent population estimate is 10,000-14,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015). The species is now widespread throughout all areas of laurel forest, and has reoccupied many parts of its former range that it had previously deserted (Madeira National Park Service in litt. 2010). Tracewski et al. (2016) estimated the maximum Area of Occupancy (calculated as the remaining tree area within the species's range) to be 13.65 km2, however the laurel forest is said to be increasing in area (C. Gouveia in litt. 2017) and the species is being found outside of the laurel forest (C. Gouveia in litt. 2017), so this is considered to be an underestimate.

|The population is estimated at 10,000-14,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).
Trend Justification: The species's population recovered rapidly following a ban on hunting in 1986. It increased from an estimated low of 2,700 individuals to more recently 8,500 to 10,000 individuals, although there is some fluctuation (Oliveira et al. 2007, Barov and Derhé 2011). The most recent assessment of the species's population estimates the trend as stable (BirdLife International 2015).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|The species is confined to laurel forest, largely below 850 m (Oliveira et al. 1999). There is strong evidence that it is highly mobile between different areas at different times of year (Oliveira et al. 2006). It nests in trees in laurel forest, occasionally on the ground or in cavities in cliffs. Normally only one egg is laid. The species is largely frugivorous, although leaves and flowers are also well represented in its diet: at least 33 different species are taken (Oliveira et al. 2002). It feeds mainly on the berries of Laurus azorica which is the most common tree in the laurel forest (Tucker and Heath 1994). It also eats the fruit of Ocotea foetens, Persea indica, Appolonias barbujana, Myrica faya, Clethra arborea and Piconia exelsa (Zino and Zino 1986, Jones 1988, Tucker and Heath 1994). Birds may also feed on agricultural land (Marrero et al. 2004, Oliveira et al. 2006) where it forages on cabbages, watercress and fruit trees (Tucker and Heath 1994).
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Movement patterns:
|Not a Migrant
|Major Threat(s):
|Extinction on Porto Santo and historical declines on Madeira were directly related to forest destruction for wood, agriculture, grazing and human settlements. Laurel forests have been reduced to only 13.5% of surface area of Madeira (Baptista et al. 1997). Regeneration and expansion of the forest is now ensured with the removal of livestock from the forest. This species's unpopularity, as a result of its use of agricultural areas, has a negative influence on conservation and management actions. Hunting and poisoning, as a result of the damage done to crops, continue illegally in a few well-defined areas, especially on agricultural land, and in response to farmers' protests, the regional government authorised limited culling of the species on one occasion in 2004 (Nagy and Crockford 2004). Nest predation by black rat Rattus rattus is likely to be a factor limiting reproduction.
|Conservation Actions:
Conservation Actions Underway
EU Birds Directive Annex I. It is legally protected and hunting was banned in 1986. Madeira Natural Park has a management plan, and an action plan for the species was published in 1996. All key sites are now protected and habitat restoration has expanded the area of laurel forest (Barov and Derhé 2011). Farmers suffering crop damage are provided with free bird-scaring devices, and several government control programmes have been implemented, reducing levels of illegal hunting and poisoning (Barov and Derhé 2011). Work has been undertaken to remove cattle from some areas and control invasive species in laurel forest, as well as measures to reduce the incidence of fire (Barov and Derhé 2011). Conservation Actions Proposed
Continued survival of species depends directly on protection of habitat and strict control of hunting, and perhaps also of rats (Baptista et al. 1997). Research and monitoring should be continued and the management plan implemented. Illegal hunting should be controlled or prevented. An education campaign may overcome the species's unpopularity. Identify and protect new areas of laurel forest. Promote the use of bird scarers to reduce agricultural damage. Ensure authorities have appropriate means to prevent and extinguish fires in the laurel forest. Continue monitoring rat control (Barov and Derhé 2010).

Auditing SharePoint is one of the indispensable processes before deploying a new solution on the existing farm since SharePoint is going to be more critical to the corporate business. There are many reasons why auditing before SharePoint deployment is really important:
- Identifying things are properly configured in SharePoint farm
- Identifying the impact of hardware and software on SharePoint performance
- Measuring security in several different aspects
- Infrastructure involved to operate SharePoint
- Customization maintenance
The wheel describes 5 parts you need to look at when conducting a SharePoint audit.
This includes network topology, logical and physical architecture, and server farm details of the SharePoint farm you want to do an audit in. With network topology, hardware and network devices including firewall, router, switch or so on need to be documented. You don't have to necessarily perform an assessment on network device, but the least is to list down which network devices involved to be functioning for SharePoint. With more specific to SharePoint farm, drawing a whole SharePoint farm is ideal. See the following sample:
We will then documents physical servers or virtual machines involved in each farm. Each needs to have the following data:
- Server Name
- Operating System
- Memory of RAM
- System Disk
- Data Disk
- Virtualized (Yes/No)
- Software
That's all about physical topology. Now we need to document logical topology for current SharePoint farm. The following scopes you should look at:
- Service (with server services are running relatively)
- Service application (with application pool account and service application database relatively)
- Web Application (Zone, Port, Host Header, Public URL)
- Site Collection (Web Application, URL, Template, Content Database)
- Content Database (Specific name, Description, Backup/Recovery Option)
See the following sample for Service Application scope.
Security is a very huge topic and it can't be done over a night. However, when it comes to SharePoint audit, security needs to be taken into account. You don't have to be a professional security auditor or someone who is familiar with penetration testing.
What need to be documented basically from the security perspective are as follows:
- User Account
- Operating system with security patches/hotfix (use Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer)
- Security hardware (mapping to infrastructure network devices)
- Compliance
- Custom security policy
When having an overall of security template your client has made, you can ask them accurately what you need for your development.
Farm Configuration
Farm configuration includes important information for your SharePoint deployment. See the following sample:
SharePoint has many out-of-the-box (OOTB) features that empower end-user to build business solutions without having to write code. This statement is correct. However, in many cases, custom solutions are deployed to fit specific needs. That said, every of them need to be documented with the following data:
- Solution scope: farm, web application, site collection, sandboxed
- Interaction: solution may interact with external file server, or ASP.NET-based application.
- Assemblies: solution ID, assembly location, deployment target
- Features: feature ID, scope, purpose…etc.
- Deployment guidance: via PowerShell/STSADM, Central Administration
These above often get documented in SharePoint Custom Solution Documentation. If not, you would have to ask internal development team or use 3rd party tool to capture information. I strongly recommend SPCAF (SharePoint Code Analysis Framework) tool (http://www.spcaf.com/features/)
There are several common types of performance testing: performance test, load test, stress test, and capacity test. Each of them has different benefits and challenges. I strongly suggest you to follow Performance Testing Guidance from Microsoft patterns & practices written by Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb924375.aspx)
Taking a look at the following helpful tool:
- Microsoft Visual Round Trip Analyzer
- Visual Studio Test
- Dashboard Designer
- Forefront Identity Manager (used to see the duration of profile synchronization)
Report & Recommendation
There are lots of things in SharePoint you would have to count in or may be asked by the client. The reality is that you don't really have enough time to cover all. So before conducting SharePoint audit, you need to identify and ask the client what need to be audited. For example, if you are to configure high availability solution, look at infrastructure scope first.
In terms of report, it should at least include the following:
- Issue
- Description
- Priority (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
- Category
- Recommendation (optional)

LAWYERS for the former media adviser of Queensland MP Bruce Flegg want access to police evidence alleging he made threats and demands against the Government.
The state's crime and corruption watchdog in June issued Graeme Hallett with a notice to appear in court for making "demands with menaces upon agencies of government".
Hallett's lawyer Kris Jahnke asked for an adjournment in Brisbane Magistrates Court yesterday to give prosecutors enough time to hand over police notebooks containing interviews about the case.
WHISTLEBLOWER: Graeme Hallett to be charged with serious criminal offence
GOVERNMENT: Hallett says he will fight charges of demands with menance
Hallett, who is on bail, did not appear in court and is also excused when the case returns to court on September 8.
The Crime and Corruption Commission alleged that after Hallett was sacked by Dr Flegg in November 2012, he threatened to release information and make a complaint to police unless he was rehired in another government role.
Dr Flegg was the state housing minister when he dismissed Hallett.
Hallett held a press conference the day after being let go and claimed his former boss lied to Parliament by failing to record the extent of contact his office had with Dr Flegg's lobbyist son.
The next day, Dr Flegg stood down as minister, saying there had been "administrative failures" about which he had not known.
Mr Jahnke has previously said his client denied the allegations against him and would fight the charge.

Hello, and thanks for visiting my website. My name is Daniel Puch and I am a graphic designer with more than 25 years on the medium. When I was graduated from the School of Graphic Arts, in Montevideo (Uruguay) computers where still not so common, design work was done on paper, cutting and pasting texts and writing indications about color percentages to the prepress specialists over a semi-transparent paper. Aaaah! The good old days.
Now, everything has changed, with the introduction of the computer everything seems to be easier. But to be truthful, to get a great design and to make it in a way that it will run smoothly on press it's not so easy. In my experience, having worked with the old traditional systems really give designers an advantage. That advantage is that we can see the computer as one more tool to accomplish our goals and creativity is not limited only by doing a nice "flashy text effect" in Photoshop. Creativity is based on taste, good ideas and proven methods of attracting customers to highlight your design in a very overcrowded market.
I hope I can help you to accomplish the best design you can get and I and my team will always be here to help you with anything you need to achieve your goals. Whether is graphic design for traditional offset printing, web design, social media, comic making, illustrations for commercial purposes or for children books.
If I can be of help in any of these fields of expertise, I will be here for you!

MetroPCS demonstrates the risks of leapfrog strategies
I was briefly an Android (and MetroPCS) user during the past week, but found the reality of the MetroPCS LTE service (and the Samsung phone) didn't match the promise.
I got my first digital phone in the late 1990s when I switched from AirTouch to Sprint. I was with Sprint for about 14 years until I quit Sprint in May over high prices and a lousy phone replacement policy. Since late last year I've been assuming that I'd switch to MetroPCS (if I were working in San Jose or LA) or Cricket (if I were in San Diego).
I've been a particular admirer of MetroPCS, which combined the Cricket (Leap) business model with aggressive price cutting and clever branding to become the 5th largest network owner in the US. (Most importantly, they've also pressured the Big Two to be less outrageous in their pricing.) My biggest gripe was their misleading "$40/month" advertising — which (ala Sprint and the other Big Four) is not available to smartphone owners.
When I got the job in LA County I considered the various Android phones on MetroPCS and quickly settled on the Samsung Galaxy Indulge: it was one of their few Android LTE phones, and the only one with a keyboard.
As a result, after settling into my new job and living quarters I decided to give MetroPCS a try. For the past week I was a MetroPCS customer with the Galaxy — until I took it back Tuesday afternoon.
There were several reasons why the reality was worse than the promise.
First, the battery life on the Indulge was truly terrible. The store manager tried to warn me that his friend had problems with the Indulge, but it was even worse than he said. On Monday, I had the phone on in the morning for an hour (with WiFi on), checked email twice and lost half my battery life. Even without making phone calls, there's no way I'd make it through a whole day. And when I had it plugged into the car adaptor, the phone got very hot — suggesting (as with 2G and 3G) that first generation 4G phones have serious power consumption problems.
The battery life was exacerbated by the need to turn down the screen saver. My most common search experience was the screen went blank (on a 30 second timeout) before I could get the answer to a simple Google search.
But the last straw was the poor LTE coverage. When the phone was in 4G range, it seemed to have good performance. (Other users reported 2.4 mbps, but I never formally measured it). However, it was not in range at my East LA County residence, and at various places on SoCal freeways. It was also (as expected) not in range when roaming to Cricket territory in San Diego. In those cases, it fell back to 1x (which users estimate is under 0.1 mbps).
For me, Metro's gamble to leapfrog 3G for 4G was a failure, because the price was to fall back to completely useless 2.5G data service. All the other carriers have some sort of 3G coverage which would have been fine for my use case.
In fact, the most useful thing about the exercise was to crystalize my use case for my first post-Treo, post-Symbian smartphone:
- Email — both gmail and Exchange
- Traffic maps
- Web browsing, especially news
- Google searches
The one frill I tried was the wonderful new music streaming app — Yahoo! Music Radio — which is a partnership with Clear Channel and its Radio.com. I would eagerly install and use the player just for one station — LA's K-Earth Classics (KRTH HD2) — which plays the 60s oldies that the iconic 101.1 used to play until it switched from boomers to Generation Jones and 70s music.
However, using a phone for music streaming requires good battery life (or a handy power adaptor) and an unlimited data plan. A 56K MP3 stream two hours a day on every weekday would use up 800mb/month of a limited download budget. (MetroPCS only allowed 1 gb/month for its $50 plan).
Android phone that does LTE. The other Android phones also didn't have physical keyboards, and my one week MetroPCS trial confirmed my suspicion that a physical keyboard is an absolute must for typing without looking at the screen. The company's weakness in Android phones is (IMHO) the main problem of their recent financial difficulties.
The story had a happy ending, at least for me. The company's MetroPromise means you can take the phone back for a full refund if you follow their conditions. I did follow the conditions, and got my money back with just a long wait due to an understaffed local dealer.

I don't like saying goodbye.
My visit is coming to an end. I'm counting down and I don't like the prospect of saying goodbye. I've been meaning to share these photos with you, I took them on Friday at around 2pm, as the bustle of getting ready for Shabbat was winding down. People are making their last purchases for the weekend, whether food or newspapers/magazines for the weekend read.
Buying ready made food is still not customary here. Most of the cooking is done in the home kitchen unless going out to a restaurant. But in the past 10 years or so, one can buy ready made, home made food. The malls are lined with tables and on them huge pots filled with amazingly delicious dishes. The dishes are made by the person standing behind the table.
There are tables and shelves of pastries and sweets, as well as bread, (particularly Challah) stacked high, (although these photos show the stacks lowering quickly).
|Logs of Halva, a sweet delicious treat made from sesame seeds. It comes with nuts, or chocolate, or fudge, very decadent!
|You can tell it's midday by the large basins of food that are emptying.
|A shot from above. Look at that fruit!!
|I wish you could have smelled the spices...
I'll be back next week, a little sad but happy to be home.

Coe Sodexo Director of Dining Services Tom Wieseler and Sodexo Operations Support Manager Keith Pitner (left) and Coe Vice President for Student Affairs Lou Stark (right) congratulate Coe Sodexo Hostess and Checker Pam Hoback, who was recently named the national divisional winner of the Customer Service Excellence Award.
Pam Hoback, a hostess and checker for Sodexo Dining Services at Coe College, has been selected as the national divisional winner of the Customer Service Excellence Award. Hoback was selected from thousands of Sodexo employees who work at 750 colleges and universities across the country in the campus food service division of the company.
Hoback first won the October Customer Service Excellence Award among the employees at 14 colleges in Iowa served by Sodexo. She was then selected as the regional, multi-state winner, and qualified as a national division finalist.
As the hostess and checker, Hoback is the first person students and guests see when they enter The "U" – Coe's dining hall in Gage Memorial Union. Although she has only been working at Coe for about a year, she has earned a reputation for friendliness and superior service in the campus community.
Hoback lets individual students know when their favorites are included at one of the Sodexo food stations. She frequently converses with students in an effort to get to know them better and interacts with everyone in the Coe community.
"Pam is the face of the department, and she makes that first impression a good one," said Wieseler. "She is quick to greet and assist our guests, direct them through our food stations, and welcome them to Coe."
As part of the nomination process, many positive student comments about Hoback were forwarded to Sodexo, such as, "Pam always makes me smile when I come into The 'U.'"
The award presentation was made by Sodexo Operations Support Manager Keith Pitner, Coe Sodexo Director of Dining Services Tom Wieseler, and Coe Vice President for Student Affairs Lou Stark.

Harlequin Enterprises, the world's largest publisher of romance fiction, was founded in Winnipeg by Richard H.G. Bonnycastle. The company originally published westerns, thrillers, cookbooks, etc, but by 1964 was exclusively publishing romances because they were the strongest sellers.
CRTC (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission/Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes). Established by the Broadcasting Act in 1968 it is an independent agency that regulates and supervises all sectors of the Canadian broadcasting system, including AM and FM radio, television, cable, pay-TV and specialty services.
As first days at the office go, it was the most bizarre in Peter Moss's career. On March 6, he reported for his first day as president of entertainment for Montreal-based children's TV programmer Cinar Corp. Moss arrived to find "the whole place had been turned upside down," he recalls.
