What Are Dust Mites & How to Get Rid of Them
Dust mites are tiny bugs that thrive on dust inside the homes. A big percentage of the country's population is allergic to these tiny creatures. Even although they are tiny in size, their power is inside their numbers. In the event you are sustaining from conditions like a runny nose, watery eyes, and itchiness or sneezing inside the morning, it is most likely that dust mites are the culprit. If that is the situation, you have to consider action immediately to get rid of these nasty small bugs. To get rid of them, you have first to understand the creatures
About Dust Mites
Dust mites have a tendency to thrive in any place that is warm, and the colony continues to grow as long because they obtain a provider of meals. In contrast to bed bugs, dust mites don't bite you or feed in your blood. This may make them invisible to you to get a long time. However, dust mites have a tendency to feed around the dead skin cells that we shed every day. Dust mites thrive nicely in humid and warm conditions. This is one of the factors why summer time occasions see a greater increase inside the number of allergy instances reported. It is not only the mattress where dust mites live. Upholstered sofas and cushions are fantastic locations for dust mites to grow. We shed skin cells all of the time through the day. At any place, we sit or lie down more than time, there will be an accumulation of dead cells.
How to Get Rid of Them
Dust mites can be cleared in the mattresses and pillows by washing them in scorching water or by vacuuming. The higher water temperatures kill the dust mites. In case your pillow is not washable, you can use allergy resistant covers in your pillows and mattresses. The covers have to be non-porous to ensure that the mites don't come into get in touch with together with your skin or your breath. Pillowcases and other bed linens ought to be washed weekly in scorching water and dried nicely both inside a scorching air dryer or beneath the sun. In the event you use a vacuum cleaner to clean your carpets, make certain the filter inside your cleaner is capable of holding inside the allergens picked up in the carpet. Dusting the upholstery, curtains or carpet will make the allergens mingle inside the air and will not remove them in the products. If dust has to be cleared away, use wet cloth or vacuum.
The type of mattress at anAZ mattress outletyou use will also affect how nicely the dust mites thrive in your bed. Spring mattresses have a hollow space together with the coils or springs, which acts as being an ideal base for dust mites to stay and multiply. Around the other hand, strong foam mattresses or latex mattresses don't have air cavities and don't help dust mites to thrive. Therefore, in mattresses made of strong and dense memory foam dust mites are not generally seen. In the event you have a previous inner spring mattress that is older than seven years, you need to think about whether or not a change to the mattress would help. Alternatively, you can include a memory foam topper to your bed. The topper is a layer of memory foam, which you will face. In the event you are including this layer on leading, make certain the coil mattress is covered with plastic or another non-breathable layer. Make certain the mattress protector around the mattress infested with dust mites goes throughout the mattress and about.

It's assumed that when the United States catches cold, Canada gets pneumonia. But the reality now is that if China ever catches cold, Canada will get double pneumonia.
And the reason is, sticking with medical metaphors, that Canada is weak and vulnerable because it has an advanced case of the "Dutch Disease." This is an affliction caused by a booming resource sector which drives up the currency's value, which in turn drives out exporters, manufacturing and tourism.
Canada's looming predicament is well described in a report by MacroResearchBoard (MRB), an independent investment consulting firm. Located in London and Montreal, the report is headlined O Canada (Part I) and Uh-Oh Canada (Part II). This study, and its conclusions, should be required reading for every politician and executive in Canada.
"A severe case of Dutch Disease has dramatically reduced the breadth of the Canadian business sector over the past decade, hollowing out manufactured goods exporters and making the nation increasingly reliant on commodity demand. Canada has often been referred to in jest as the 51st state, due to its historical reliance on the U.S. as a key export market. However, it is becoming more accurate to regard Canada as another Province of China," writes MRB partner Phillip Colmar.
Canada is not directly co-dependent with China, as it has been with the United States, but it is dependent on high commodity prices, which are largely driven by China's economic boom.
"When China stumbles in the years ahead," points out Colmar, "and the commodity bull market comes to an end, Canada will suffer through a painful economic contraction. The fallout at that point [likely still a few years away] will be prolonged due to the fact that the Canadian business sector is uncompetitive and the household sector has accumulated substantial leverage to live beyond its means."
My only criticism of this report is that it ignores, as do politicians, Canada's dirty little secret, which is that federal public debt to GDP may be the lowest in the developed world, but when provincial debts are included, the ratio is nearly as serious as America's in relationship to GDP. To separate them is misleading because provincial debts are guaranteed by Ottawa. And a year from now, Ontario and Quebec alone will owe more than Ottawa, or half a trillion dollars.
In fact, Eastern Canada's economies resemble Michigan's, Detroit's or Spain's, but are hidden by the boom in the West, led by Alberta.
But once commodity prices head downward, China slows or both, it will have a huge impact on Canada. This is the report's important takeaway.
"The Canadian economy is experiencing a massive windfall gain from natural resources, corporate profits are booming, employment growth is strong and households are willing to spend. This is the time when the Canadian government should be paying down debt and putting away national savings in a sovereign wealth fund. Instead, the government is running a cyclically adjusted budget deficit.
The upcoming election is unlikely to bring fiscal prudence. If the Conservatives obtain a majority, they will likely push ahead with roughly the current budget. If they win a minority, the proposed budget will be diluted somewhat. If a coalition government is formed among the opposition, public finances are likely to deteriorate much faster."
Here are some figures:
- The 70% surge in the Canadian dollar has hollowed out the non-commodity export sector.
- Canadian exports have not grown for a decade.
- Energy and agricultural commodities are 34% of total exports, up from 14%, and manufacturing is 17% from 32%.
- The TSX's energy and materials equities represent 57% of market capitalization, up from 15% in 2000.
- The Bank of Canada has kept interest rates too low, amid fear the dollar would go higher, but this is creating labour market and housing bubbles, both of which will come back to haunt the country in a downturn.
- Canada runs a substantial trade deficit. "This presents a significant longer-term risk for the economy, and is shocking given the natural resource boom [note that Australia is running a substantial trade surplus]."

Setup: 1605 running 12.0(5)T with IPFW w/ NAT(PAT) with one public on e0 and one private on e1.
I have turned off service dhcp and made sure no databases were define and no ip helper-address enabled, but everytime I scan the public side with nmap UPD it shows port 67,68,138 in the state open.
The results of show stack:

Is the DHCPD and DHCP client have anything todo with the open ports 67 and 68?? If so, how do I close 67,68,and 138?
Could you please provide the config of the router as well as the output of a "show ip sockets". Have you had a look at this document: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/21.html ?Exert: "If you have the output of a show running-configuration command from your Cisco device, you can use Output Interpreter to display potential issues
UDP Ports 67 and 68 are to do with DHCP
UDP Port 138 deals with Netbios over IP (Microsoft)
You need to be careful when you do port scans and make sure you're on the same network as the router. Where did you perform your scan in relation to your router? This *may* be a false representation from your port scanner.

Deep within a Central American forest sits the ruins of an ancient city the world forgot -- and it has just been discovered by a Quebec teenager.
15 year-old William Gadoury claims he has discovered a long-lost ancient Mayan city using a clever combination of old-world astronomy and modern technology.
Passionate about ancient Maya, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellations and realized that the Mayans aligned their 117 cities with the positions of the stars. But he discovered that one star in another constellation that didn't have a corresponding city.
If his theory and calculations were correct, that would place the missing city in a remote coastal location on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.
Using satellite images from the Canadian Space Agency and Google Earth maps, Gadoury zeroed in on the precise location — and a pyramid and about thirty ancient buildings were spotted, partially hidden, in the dense forest.
"There are linear features that would suggest there is something underneath that big canopy," Canadian Space Agency liaison officer Daniel de Lisle told The Independent. "There are enough items to suggest it could be a man-made structure."
Gadoury has named the lost city K'aak Chi, or "Mouth of Fire." It is believed to be one of the five largest Mayan cities on record.
The discovery has won Gadoury praise from space agencies in Canada and Japan as well as NASA. He's also become a local hero in Quebec.
The young scientist — whose passion for the ancient civilization was sparked by reading Mayan doomsday prophesies in 2012 — was thrilled with his remarkable breakthrough.
"I did not understand why the Maya built their cities away from rivers, on marginal lands and in the mountains," he told the Journal de Montreal. "They had to have another reason, and as they worshiped the stars, the idea came to me to verify my hypothesis."
The jungle that houses the newly discovered city has not been explored, but Gadoury says he can't wait to see it for himself.
"It would be the culmination of my three years of work and the dream of my life."

Kuwaiti authorities have detained 60 people in connection with the bombing and closed a charity for alleged militant ties in raising funds for Syrians, local newspapers said on Tuesday. "We are in a state of war. It's a war that had been decided with this cell. But there are other cells, and we will not wait for them to try their luck with us," Interior Minister Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled Al-Sabah told Parliament.
The Kuwaiti newspaper al-Qabas reported on Tuesday that five people arrested for suspected involvement in the attack had been referred to the Public Prosecutor. The five, it said, had confessed to receiving financial transfers from abroad to carry out attacks targeting houses of worship.
Kuwaiti officials said the attack was aimed at stirring up sectarian strife in the majority Sunni Muslim state. Relations have traditionally been good between the 70 percent of Kuwait's 1.4 million citizens who are Sunni and the Shiites who comprise 30 percent, but regional rivalry between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shi'ite Iran has opened some fissures.
The bombing has sharply heightened regional security concerns because Islamic State appeared to be making good on its threat to step up attacks in the holy fasting month of Ramadan. On the same day as the mosque bombing, an Islamist gunman killed 39 people, mostly British tourists, in Tunisia. Since the suicide bombing, plainclothes officers have carried out arrest raids on the homes of five people for possession of illegal weapons, the state news agency KUNA said.
Some had been found to have been in contact with Sunni Islamist militants while others were suspected of belonging to "extremist" groups, al-Qabas reported, without elaborating.
Meanwhile, H.H. the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah expressed great admiration at the unity and solidarity among Kuwaitis since the terrorist attack on Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque. HH the Amir said this unity has shown the true image of Kuwaiti people as one family that is loyal to the homeland and united behind its leaders against violence and extremism. His Highness the Amir underlined that the crime of killing of innocent people contradicts with all religious teachings.
This attack has drawn widescale condemnation from the whole world, he said. His Highness the Amir hailed the highly- efficient work of security agencies which helped unveil the circumstances and arrest those involved in the crime. His Highness the Amir also thanked the armed forces, Ministry of Health, Kuwait Fire Service, Ministry of Information, and local and international press and all the bodies and organizations that contributed to the efforts and measures taken after the attack.
H.H. the Amir expressed thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince Nawaf Al- Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim, the National Guard Chief His Highness Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah, Deputy Chief of the National Guard Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, His Highness Sheikh Nasser Al- Mohammad Al-Sabah, His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, Parliament members, citizenry and residents on their good sentiments after the tragic incident. HH the Amir thanked leaders of Arab, other world countries and heads of the government and international organizations which condoled with Kuwait.
The sources said some clerics and religious personalities were summoned for interrogation because their names surfaced during interrogations with the accused. Moreover, their photos were found on the smart phones of the suspects. The State Security service, sources say, has prepared a long list of names of people who are believed to be either promoters of the deviant thought and extremist ideology and/or are supporters of the terrorist organizations. Some of the names on the list names were picked from the phones of cell members who planned and bombed the mosque in Al-Sawaber last Friday. The sources pointed out, the Interior Ministry has sent the list to their counterpart in Saudi Arabia because it includes the names of some Saudi religious personalities.
The names are reportedly supported by pictures and documents which were gathered during interrogation with the suspects in police custody. The pictures allegedly show the suspects with those who are still at large. The pictures were picked from their cell phones and websites including Instagram and Twitter. The sources explained one of the defendants Jarrah Nimr confessed during interrogation that he received money from 'outside' and 'inside' from extremist religious people to promote the thought of DAESH through religious lessons which he gave to children and teenagers inside mosques and during land and sea journeys inciting extremism and urging them to join the organization.
The source added Nimr maintains a strong relationship with religious people in Saudi Arabia and that he has been receiving a number of them to set up seminaries and organize workshops inside diwaniyas in Sulaibiya.
The same source said the State Security have spotted nearly 10 such diwaniyas over the past few days in addition to mosques where extremists groups belonging to the terrorist organizations in the region are received. The source explained these diwaniyas are set up in open areas and installed with the most recent audio system and furniture. The Interior Minaistry is coordinating with the Kuwait Municipality to demolish these diwaniya and other encroachments on state property over the next few days, particularly in Sulaibiya.
On the other hand the Al-Qabas daily quoting official sources at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs have warned of the danger of makeshift mosques which are spreading in some areas of the country such as Wafra and Kabd. The sources described them as 'time bombs' because they breed extremists and sympathizers of terrorist organizations. The sources said these mosques are not subject to supervision of the Ministry of Awqaf, which means the Friday sermons are not recorded and lessons or donations collected there shall not be monitored.
The sources revealed the Ministry of Awqaf has submitted reports on these mosques to the concerned authorities, stating some of them promote extremism and incite sectarian strife, posing a major threat to the security and safety of the community. Meanwhile, the State Security police have taken into custody a Kuwaiti imam of a mosque, identified as H. K., from Doha, a suburb of Jahra for interrogation because the whereabouts of his sons are not known but believed to be in Syria fighting a holy war. The State Security men are also interrogating a Kuwaiti and an Egyptian. They were whisked away for interrogation after picking them from one of the mosques.
According to the sources, the citizen prompted suspicion of securitymen because he wore black clothes. Police also found in his vehicle a forged ID, and is believed to one of the former suspects. The Egyptian was arrested while taking pictures of surveillance cameras installed in a mosque. Police also found on his cell phone sectarian slogans. Police investigations have revealed that the suspects who have been arrested following the bombing of the Imam Al- Sadiq mosque in Sawaber in downtown Kuwait City belong to a large network of terrorists from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, reports Al-Shahed daily.
A high-level security source said the investigations carried out by the State Security service in cooperation with their Gulf counterparts have revealed that the network is closely linked to DAESH and was planning to carry out terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain. The same source said the investigation resulted in unearthing three other suicide missions – one in Kuwait and two in Bahrain. The security source said the three people who were to carry out the suicide bombings are two Saudis and a bedoun. They remain at large but their escape from the country on forged passports is not ruled out. According to the source they may have gone to Syria following the arrest of some of the members of the network.
The attack on the mosque in Kuwait, sources say, was planned inside a mosque in Saudi Arabia a few weeks ago following attacks in the kingdom and Kuwait was chosen as the second target followed by Bahrain. According to the investigations, the Saudi suicide bomber Fahd Al-Qaba'a communicated with the DAESH via the Internet. The investigations also said he was trained in suicide operations in one of the restrooms east of Riyadh. He reportedly coordinated all moves with a terrorist cell in Kuwait before the operation was accomplished. Investigations also show the terrorists have made an unidentified Asian country as their base to carry out terrorist attacks and recruit and train new members.
Meanwhile, MP Dr Abdulrahman Al- Jeeran has denied information that was published by some media concerning members of Osoud Al-Jazeera 'Peninsula Lions' who are serving time at the Central Prison and reportedly were all praise for the bombing of the Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque, reports Al-Anba daily. Al-Jeeran said he met the prisoners and they expressed their anger. They described the act as 'criminal' and have nothing to do with religion. Al-Jeeran is a member of Osud Al- Jazeera Prisoners Rehabilitation Committee — a committee that has failed in its mission.
The relatives of the martyrs in the recent terrorist attack on Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque affirmed their cooperation and unity with Kuwaitis to stop terrorism from achieving its vicious goals in the country, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
In different statements to KUNA, they expressed their shock over the terrorist attack which killed their relatives. At the same time, they commended the positive efforts exerted by the country and all Kuwaitis particularly H.H. the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah in this regard. Mohammed Al-Nasser, brother of martyr Ali Rabea Al-Nasser, explained that he and his brother were supervising the media committee of Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque. At the time of the attack, they were inside the mosque for recording the Friday sermon and coordinating other technical duties of the committee.
He said, "I started performing the prayer after the sermon. When the explosion took place during our last Rakaa at the back rows, I rushed quickly to check on my father and uncles who were also in the mosque. After confirming their safety, I ran to the recording room to check on my brother but I did not find him. I ran outside the mosque to look for him and check if anyone helped him in getting out. After searching desperately for two hours, I finally found his body among the martyrs. He must have been the last martyr to leave the mosque." Mohammed hailed the efforts of the political leadership and the government in taking necessary action and procedures quickly in dealing with the incident. He added that martyr Ali Rabea Al-Nasser was one of the martyrs who were buried in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf City in Iraq. Meanwhile, brother of martyr Mohammed Sulaiman Al-Bahraini, Abdulhadi Al-Bahraini said, "My brother usually performs prayer in Imam Al- Sadiq Mosquea. When we heard reports about the bomb explosion, we called him on his cell phone but he did not answer. Later, I received a call from one of my friends who was at the mosque who told me that my brother died as he was praying in the back rows."
It is worth mentioning that a large number of citizens and expatriates attended the ceremony held in honor of the martyrs of the callous terrorist attack.
The names of these martyrs are:
Mohammed Hassan Ali Al-Hader, Taleb Mohammed Saleh, Abdullah Hassan Sulaiman Al-Sayegh, Mohammed Hassan Ali Al-Khawajah, Jafar Mohammed Redha Al-Safer, Hussein Ismail Ibrahim Ismail, Sadiq Jafar Taher Hussein, Ali Mohammed Ali Al-Khawajah, Ali Jafar Mohammed Al-Fali, Mohammed Ahmad Al-Jafar, Jassem Mohammed Al-Khawajah, Taher Salman Buhamad, Abdulaziz Ali Al-Herz, Yousef Abdulrazzak Al-Attar, Makki Turki Makki Al-Qallaf, Mohammed Sulaiman Al-Bahraini, Ali Rabea Al-Nasser, Abdulhameed Ouda Al-Rifai, Qais Habib Al-Mutawa, Bin Abbas bin Ali, Mohammed Saeed Al- Matroudi, Sabti Jassem Hassan Al- Saad, Gholam Hassan Mohammed Naqqi, Mohammed Redha Mohammed Ali, Abdulhameed Sayed Mohammed and Rawdhan Hussein.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Welcome to my classroom…..my virtual classroom. The below article, Multiple Modes of Learning at Orient School District, was featured in The Statesman Examiner, August, 2013. This article gives an "snapshot" of how the CVA virtual classroom operates. The below pictures are of myself and two of my CVA families who live on the west side of the state. The third picture is Orient, a town in the northeast corner of Washington, where I live.
Multiple Modes of Learning at Orient School District
Education occurs in different environments with a focus on our hopes, dreams and plans for our children to be the best and most successful people they can be. Today, there are several choices of where learning can occur, including: the formal brick and mortar setting; the informal family trip with observation of wildlife and topography; or the formal delivery of curriculum in the informal setting of the home. Choices of where, when and how our children learn becomes more prevalent as technology surpasses the traditional exchange of information. In recent history, educational information has been delivered in the brick and mortar classroom with much conversation taking place to directly assess student learning. Due to technology, this same assessment can now take place virtually. Orient School District participates in both the traditional and the virtual exchanges of information, providing choice in public education to parents. In Orient, Columbia Virtual Academy (CVA) is the virtual school operating under the roof of the traditional brick and mortar school. The hours students attend the virtual school are the same as the hours expected of the brick and mortar students. The curriculum used by CVA students meets the requirements of the new Common Core Standards. CVA students have many choices of curriculum to choose from. Through the collaboration of an academic advisor (a certified teacher), the supervising teacher, parent and student, an individualized education is created and then delivered in a home setting. Each student has an individualized Written Student Learning Plan (WSLP), which is one of the four basic requirements of CVA. The WSLP specifically outlines the state-required objectives to be met for the specific curriculum chosen for each subject the student takes. To further the accountability of student learning, CVA's second requirement is a Monthly Review the teacher prepares, with input from the parent and evidence of learning from the student. Satisfaction of the Monthly Review is determined by the weekly attendance and contact, CVA's third requirement. The student shares examples of problems, application of thought processes, and new understandings of concepts with his or her CVA teacher each week in order to meet this requirement. Specifically asking students to explain concepts learned for the week in each subject allows for a higher level of knowledge integration. According to Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning, which serves as the basis for the objectives determined by the state, high level and in-depth learning takes place when students apply, explain, evaluate and synthesize information. These skills are obtained when CVA students turn in their weekly attendance. Just as students are tested in the brick and mortar setting, the fourth CVA requirement is annual testing. CVA students are encouraged to take the state assessment, although alternative assessments can be utilized. How to educate a child can be one of the most important choices a parent makes. Orient School District recognizes each family's desire to diversify, individualize and implement an education which serves the purpose of realizing their dreams for their children's future.

HABC Announces New Asthma Initiative at O'Donnell Heights
On Wednesday, the Housing Authority of Baltimore City's (HABC) Acting Executive Director Michael Braverman joined Mayor Catherine E. Pugh, Council President Bernard "Jack" Young, and partners from the Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI), the Baltimore City Health Department, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), the HABC Board of Commissioners, and the HABC Resident Advisory Board (RAB) to announce the Healthier Homes Asthma Initiative at O'Donnell Heights. This new pilot program is designed to help families create a healthier home environment by reducing indoor allergens that contribute to asthma.
"Asthma is a prevalent condition that strikes millions of people throughout the country. Although there is no cure, the condition can be prevented," said Mayor Pugh. "The partnership between HABC, the Health Department and GHHI supports my administration's commitment to providing Baltimore residents with the knowledge, access, and environment that will enable healthy living."
HABC staff will receive "Healthy Homes" training to help families identify and eliminate the environmental factors that trigger asthma attacks. They will also be trained to perform sustainable, healthy home repairs that lower ongoing repair costs and create healthy outcomes for families. In addition, GHHI will provide environmental assessment, resident education, and program evaluation.
"By implementing this groundbreaking HABC program, Mayor Catherine Pugh and the Housing Commissioner are demonstrating their commitment to improving the City's public housing safety standards and ensuring that residents live in housing that does not negatively impact their health," said GHHI President and CEO Ruth Ann Norton. "By addressing environmental factors such as asthma triggers and household injury risks, we improve children's health outcomes, increase a parent's ability to get to work and a student's ability to attend school, and enhance school performance while lowering costs for families."
"Our environments — from the air we breathe to the food we have access to — are a major contributor to health and well-being," said Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen. "Environmental justice is a critical social justice issue of our time, and I applaud Green & Healthy Homes Initiative, the Housing Authority of Baltimore City, and all of our partners for their initiative."
HABC provided $200K to pilot the Healthier Homes Asthma Initiative. The pilot will serve the residents of O'Donnell Heights for one year. HABC intends to expand the program to all public housing sites. GHHI has hired two O'Donnell Heights residents to serve as community health workers. The workers will be trained and certified in home visiting and asthma education.
"I'm proud HABC is a part of an innovative partnership with GHHI and the Health Department that supports Mayor Pugh's vision. Our housing agenda is not just about creating structures, but is ultimately about creating the conditions and opportunities for families to be successful," said Acting Executive Director Braverman. "It is our hope that HABC's Healthier Homes Asthma Initiative will become a national model that will inspire other housing authorities across the country to replicate the program."

Translation Services: Case Study
A global auto manufacturer needed to manage a range of technical, warranty, and owner guide content support in 40 different languages. The goal was to better manage all the translation requests that came from multiple offices around the world. The client also wanted to streamline all their projects globally via their Content Management System (CMS).
We created a dedicated project management team to oversee the entire project. We also set up regional teams for seamless coverage, with in-country offices used for APA languages. With the client's help, we also developed customized tools that enabled us to process over 10,000 files for production per month.
Cost reduction: We leveraged translation from the same CMS. Improved efficiencies: We established a unified translation process of all group locations and improved their ability to meet global launch deadlines.Clear communications: We created clear points of contact at Lionbridge to reduce inefficiencies; everyone knew who was responsible for what.

Three Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake
I've made a two ingredient flourless Nutella cake and a three ingredient flourless peanut butter cake. So this past weekend I decided to try a three ingredient flourless chocolate cake.
The cake was very rich and dense, similar to other flourless chocolate cakes I've eaten. And so easy to make with just three ingredients.
As a personal preference, I do wish there was a slightly spongier and less dense texture like the flourless Nutella cake. I may try to play with the proportion of ingredients next time I make this to create a lighter texture. But it's still great as is. And you may prefer this denser texture.
Three Ingredient Flourless Chocolate Cake
7 oz semisweet or milk chocolate chips (don't use bittersweet as the cake won't be sweet enough)
1/4 cup butter
4 eggs
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and then line a 6-7 inch spring foam pan with parchment paper. (make sure to grease first and then line with paper because the cake will still stick if pan is only greased.) Place chocolate chips and butter into a microwave safe bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals until completely melted. Make sure to stir in between each of the 30 second intervals until smooth. Mine was done at about 1 min 30 seconds.
2. Beat eggs at high speed in stand mixer for about 7 minutes until almost triple in volume.
3. Add 1/3 of egg mixture into melted chocolate and stir in clockwise motion until no egg streaks remain. Repeat with another 1/3 of egg mixture and then again with final third.
4. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for about 22-25 minutes until knife inserted comes out clean.

Gas prices are hitting record highs for this time of year and with summer approaching, they're likely only going to get worse. While the average cost of a gallon of gas is costing Americans $3.73, our readers are already paying well above that (see below).Looking to save on gas? Here are some tips on how to maximize your gas mileage:
- Keep your tires inflated to their optimal pressure to improve your car's fuel economy.
- Be gentle on your pedals, and refrain from making sudden stops.
- Download an app to help you find the lowest gas prices in your area.
- Don't speed -- you'll burn through your gas tank faster.
- Plan your outings efficiently. Minimize the number of stops you have to make and outline your route in advance to minimize mileage.
- Clean out your trunk so you're not lugging around extra weight. The heavier your car, the harder it has to work to move.
- Take your car in for a check up to make sure it's operating at its full potential.
What are you paying? We called upon readers to show us what they're paying in their home towns.
Check out these pictures of what readers are paying for gas.

You are here
Are you wearing the right bra size?
Recent research has shown that only 30% of women wear the right bra size, even though your bra can only be truly comfortable and beautiful underneath your clothes when you choose the right size.
1. Is the bra fabric puckering? Don't the cups fit properly?
In that case the cup is too big. The cup should enclose the breast perfectly without any folds or lines anywhere.
2. Is the cup's edge showing any overflow?
In that case the cup is too small. You will see an unflattering indentation in your breasts making it seem as though you suddenly have 'double' breasts. The transition from cup to breast should be smooth.
3. Is your back band riding up?
In that case it is too big. Without a nice close fit, the back band can never provide the required support and is pulled up by weight of the breasts. The back band provides a nice horizontal fit around your body.
TIP: Have your bra size taken at least once a year.
Your body - and therefore your breasts - is affected by many different factors: pregnancy, slight weight changes or just the fact that you are getting a little older. This is why you should have your bra size taken by a lingerie styling expert at least once a year. Or better still: ask for guidance each time you buy a new bra. This will ensure that you wear the right bra size.

There are 1,327 named openings and variations to a match in The Oxford Companion to Chess, but how can a player remember any of them when the days spectators include a pair of dragons? Actually, I dont think anyone is worried about them at all, laughs the artist James C Christensen. They enjoy a well played game. Its the little guys with the lances that get ornery when they are captured.
Welcome to "The Chess Match" as imagined by James, the professor of the imagination. These characters are quite passionate about the game. Youll notice that theyve incorporated the checkerboard pattern into their clothing and even onto the castle walls. But, theyve only learned the game as distant observers, somewhat like you or me getting fascinated over a rugby match on the Aussie Channel. We could get all excited, run into the backyard and form up a scrum but we wouldnt know the nuances of the game. Still, wed have all sorts of fun and maybe even lose some teeth in the process.
The two players remind me of Oberon, in red, and Titania, in blue, from Shakespeares "Midsummer Nights Dream," each with their own castles and followers. Instead of playing with the traditional black and white pieces I was going to tip a hat to Alice in Wonderland by using red and white. From a design point of view, it was a little boring, reveals Christensen, so I went with blue instead of white. I didnt think much about it until a friend stopped by and pointed out that I happened to choose the colors of Utahs own Holy War - the University of Utah (red) vs. BYU (blue).
As for the field of play, its classic Christensen. There is little doubt that the two queens, one with her magical staff and the other with her broadsword, are the most powerful players on the board. The kings, being slightly less so, have compensated for their diminutive stature with rather tall thrones. At this point in the game, the blue king has opted for a nap, while the red king does his best to direct traffic with a staff not as potent as his queens.
I had fun playing the different pieces off of each other, relates James. Knights, castles and kings all employ minions and ogres to move them about the field. The red bishop is very Rome, as if he has just arrived, ornate mitre and all, from a conference at the Vatican. His counterpart is a red-haired, crazy druid running around (technically, diagonally) with a bunch of skulls on his belt. You have the Napoleonic, Great Garabaldi pawn in the foreground very serious and very fired up for his role while his opposite number seems to be having trouble mustering any real sincerity. Then, theres the crowd that surrounds the main event. Advisors, apprentices and dragons are part of the action. Like children mimicking adults, a group of faeries plays their own version of the game. A traveling salesman, in this case a pawn-broker, entices the locals with his wares. A chip monk hides in the woods holding a pawn. Has he swiped it or is he looking to get in a game?
An old, lost king lies half buried in the ground. Seventy-eight of his companions, known as the Lewis Chessmen, were discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. These medieval ivory pieces date back to the 12th century and are believed to have been brought to the Scottish islands by the Norwegians, who ruled Scotland at the time.
For those who know me well and that think Ive forgotten something here, I havent. Hidden in the forest are at least three (maybe more) fish adding their enchantment to the days festivities. After all, it wouldnt be a Christensen without magic in the air. And, oh, by the way, its reds move.
James C. Christensen
James C. Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California. He studied painting at Brigham Young University as well as the University of California at Los Angeles before finishing his formal education at BYU. Since then he has had one-man shows in the West and the Northeast and his work is prized in collections throughout the United States and Europe. Opulent, colorful, Shakespearean, extraordinary: All words that aptly portray Christensens most popular artworks that have also been described as creations from the land a little left of reality. He has created a Shakespearean Island, an entire undersea world and a village of Mother Goose characters. But when he isnt giving life to others worlds, he paints a place of his own. The result is a unique kinetic kingdom where recognizable human emotions are often manifested as fish or fowl, utilizing the viewers own imagination as no other artist can. His art includes unique people, places and things that exist somewhere between adult dreams and childhood memories. I dont think of myself as a fantasy artist, said Christensen. I certainly have an affinity for myths, fables and ancient lore, but I also find time to create landscapes and other subjects which include commissions. Recent projects, for example, include a mural commission for a conference center in Nauvoo, Illinois, a poster for the 2001 Utah Shakespearean Festival and a sculpture for Nu-Skin. Whats truly important to me is that my art is introspective and in turn challenges the minds eye of those who view it regardless of the subject matter. The artist has been commissioned by both Time/Life Books and Omni to create illustrations for their publications and his work has appeared in the prestigious American Illustration Annual and Japans Outstanding American Illustrators. Christensen has also won all the professional art honors the World Science Fiction Convention can bestow, as well as multiple Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists. Christensens fine art appears as works of art in porcelain and brass from The Greenwich Workshop Collection; artist-inspired products such as note cards, silk ties and books are also available. His first book, A Journey of the Imagination: The Art of James Christensen, was published to great acclaim in 1994. His second, the adventure fantasy Voyage of the Basset, has more than 75,000 copies in print. His subsequent book include the inventive Rhymes & Reasons, published in May 1997, Parables (written by Robert Millet, 1999), The Personal Illumination Series and The Personal Illumination Journal (2000), a series of interactive journals, A Shakespeare Sketchbook (2001) and James Christensen, Foremost Fantasy Artist (2001). Christensen was recently designated as a Utah Art Treasure, one of Utahs Top 100 Artists by the Springville Museum of Art and received the Governors Award for Art awarded by the Utah Arts Council recognizing the significance of Christensens artwork to Utahs cultural communities. He was inducted into the U.S. Art magazines Hall of Fame. Jim and his wife, Carole, co-chair the Mormon Arts Foundation.

TRANSPORT minister Philip Hammond said major transport schemes worth £260 million to improve Birmingham's travel network would reinforce its position as the second city.
The Government announced the road and rail makeover for the area including four-lane running on the M6 between Junctions 5 and 8, a new train station at Fazeley Street for the high speed rail link, and continued development at New Street station.
It also revealed that an extension to the Midland Metro would go ahead, which could win funding from a £600 million pot of investment that would be available to other schemes across the country.
Secretary of State Mr Hammond said of the improvements to the city: "The combination of the motorway, New Street Station, new station at Fazeley Street, with the high speed trains running in at 49 minutes, I think greatly enhances the opportunity the city has to reinforce its position as Britain's second city.
"The rebuilding of New Street Station is not just a boon for passengers, but is opening the whole area of the city so they can travel with ease from the south to the north.
"The extension of the Midland Metro is also great news.
"It will drive regeneration, economic growth, and job creation. It is very important to what is happening."
And he added of the M6 scheme: "It is complicated to deliver because the motorway is on a viaduct and it won't be easy on the elevated section.
"But it completes the section from M40 to M54 intersection and it will help with congest at peak times."
He said the same improvements on the M42 showed that the system was working.
"It reduces journey time, improves congestion, cut accidents, lower fuel consumption and carbon output – you can't do much better than that," he explained.
"The number of those killed or seriously injured has also been drastically reduced."

School trip to Berlin
Author : Anuscha Zeighami
At the beginning of Feburary, around 40 students of this years S7 class spent 4 days in the German capital Berlin. The trip was a long awaited and well deserved break after the tiring prebac exams - for many it was the first time in Berlin !
Already in the first evening after a 6 hour train ride, the chaperoning teachers had an extensive program planned put. A journalist showed us around Potsdamer Platz, where he explained the background of the new architectural impulses that are shaping the central district. Next, we headed towards Pariser Platz. The gold illuminated Brandenburg Gate was the perfect background for the hundreds selfies that we took. Later on, we marvelled at the nearby government institutions and visited the Holocaust memorial that extends over an entire city block.
The S7s spent most of their time in museums featuring post-WWII and Cold War exhibitions. We visited the DHM (German Historical Museum), DDR Museum, the Museum of the Allied Forces, the Stasi Museum and went on a tour of the extensive bunkers built beneath The city's surface. It is almost impossible to say which museum was the most impressive. One thing can be said with certainty : there was something for everyone.
Yet, Museum visits were not the only thing on our group's itinerary. After our second day in Berlin, the group dined together at a modern Mexican restaurant. The food was amazing and the portions gigantic.
In conclusion the trip was a success. We learned a lot, mingled with different people and had sufficient free time to explore the city on our own accord. A visit to Berlin should definitely be a part of the S7 experience for students in upcoming years.

LET GO: Mark Alvarado raised PUEBLO's profile in the community, but he didn't raise enough money to keep the grassroots organization financially afloat. Last week, he got the ax — after moving to Santa Barbara from El Paso — and PUEBLO volunteers will be expected to pick up the slack on the South Coast.

Due to the temperature out in the barn and the depth of snow - the Panhard resto has had to take a back seat.
We had a major issue with the wiring before the wiinter set in....I know I said I hated brakes - well that has now been surpassed by my passionate dislike of wiring..
Anyone have a wiring diagram???... thought not... so now I'm dealing with re wiring an armoured car where every wire is white... and I don't have a diagram..its like exploring Outer Mongolia without an OS map..
To try and help out I contacted Bovington Tank Museum as they have a Panhard AML 60 in a complete condition - excellent, loads of pictures and we can fatham out the wiring..... maybe...
Due to a rejig of the collection they were very busy but were extremely accommodating and helpful when I turned up on thier doorstep un announced and armed with only a weak blag....- thanks Bovington..
I was given complete access to the Bovington AML. I haven't seen any pictures of a complete AML internally (a few exist of the AML 90's..) so it was a chance of a lifetime to get a 'warts and all' photographic record of this iconic vehicle.
I was pretty excited as it has the only still fitted 60mm low pressure mortar I know of still in the turret. The AA52s had long gone - but I'm trying to reconstruct a 60mm mortar for my turret so to get to see a real one in situ was worth its weight in gold.
First thing that struck me entering the tank was how small it was with all the kit fitted. The turret was minute and with three grown men in the hull it was snug to say the least. I also noticed if the turret was rotated it obstructed the driver and he couldn't leave the vehicle! He would have to remove the steering wheel (interestingly a revised quick release system in the centre of the wheel in the Bovington tank that is a little less complicated than the original version I am used to) he would have to remove the wheel, stand up and try to exit the vehicle through the hatch above the driving position. I simply would not be able to do this - you either have to be thin as a racing snake or about 12... I would not want to be caught in the vehicle if the turret was facing to the rear and there was a fire - toasted french recruit - yummm. Mental note to myself ' fit a fire extinguisher system'...if you ever want to rotate the turret whilst moving...
Interestingly the brake resevoirs in the Bovington tank were broken off and sat at the front of the hull in a shattered state. Upon speaking to the Bovington representative this tank hadn't ever driven it was always towed/ pushed into position. Looking at the broken braking system this wasn't a surprise.
The interior was very dusty and interestingly the french or UK authorities had stuck radiation signs on any object that glowed - very tight Health and Safety - but not much help as you couldn't read the dials!!
Many pictures later (some to the right) the wiring system was mapped and the turret cage fully recorded.
So heres some pictures for you. I guess these are the only pictures of the interior available - and the only fully equipped AML60 interior on the net! Enjoy modellers and any rivet counters who may be interested!!
Pictures speak for themselves.. apart from last picture that is the floor of tank under the turret basket.. you can see the vehicle wiring for the turret (in the box in the middle of the picture)..

Chapters 19, 20 & 21 Summary and Analysis
Chapter 19: Tiff Wood, having only recently won the bronze medal in world championships, is now in danger of not even finding a place on one of the Olympic sculls. Tiff Wood has great faith in his coach Harry Parker but his rage is growing as he faces this difficult challenge of trying to get a position on the Olympic team. Chapter 20: Paul Enquist is mellow and humble with respect to the temperaments of rowers in general. Halberstam tells the background story of this rower. Enquist tries rowing at the University of Washington. He is not very good. He wants to do it anyway, so he does. He is permitted to train around the women's team. The first year, the majority of the women on the team beat him; this is mainly because they have good form and he is rather weak...

But yeah I dont get the point of using apple. If you look at things like the iMac, yeah they are stylish, but you have no costumisation, so you buy a machine that is way more powerfull than what you need, or not powerful enough. It would be luck if you spend all that money in a way that is just right for you. And if you want customisation with a power mac you pay through the nose for it.
But its easy. Instead of configuring all the right machines for the arts department and setting them up, you just buy an Imac and put it on the desk. Its not your money anyway, its the shareholders.edit on 7-2-2013 by Merinda because: (no reason given)

My computer is a few years old macbook. I'm pissed. No more being able to watch any videos posted up here on ATS. SO now when I join a thread here unless there are pictures, I can only imagine what the posters are discussing about since I can't see the video. I can't even watch youtube now.

They created a BIOS system where they could disable hardware (the motherboard) by switching it off if they wanted. This was their plan to deal with the Windows XP Corporate Key leak that everyone around the world was using.
Why did HP out of the blue declare they were getting out of the PC Business? Somebody figured out why every HP laptop died after the warranty expired....
They were being SWITCHED OFF.
Buy yourself ALLLL the computers you can find that are PRE-2000. Those computers have locked BIOS's and will continue to work forever. The NEW Bios's have an operating system running in them now allowing someone to switch OFF your motherboard.

Very logical and intelligent approach to the issue. I just hate the fact that I can drive around the streets in a car made in the 50's but now I am starting to not be able to use my Apple tablet made in 2010. Yet, my spouses android is still being supported and not a single app has stopped working, which it was purchased December 2010.

I wouldnt hold much stock in that.
Corporate firewalls and such would make it difficult for a kill command to get in, let alone attack the bios.
And Windows XP was the most basic system to activate, with or without a key.

New-media innovator to join Medill Faculty
1982 was a revolutionary year for Owen Youngman. It was his first time using the Internet, his first time using online chat and the first time he realized the emergence of a new media landscape.
"[I] realized that many of the boundaries that limited the reach, timeliness and effectiveness of our work were going to fail," Youngman said. "The immediacy was transformative."
A new-media visionary and longtime Chicago Tribune journalist, Youngman will be bringing his expertise to Medill this April when he becomes the Knight Professor of Digital Media Strategy at Northwestern University.
"It's very exciting to contemplate spending my time in the company of people who are excited about thinking, learning and innovating," Youngman said. "I've never made this radical a change before, so of course I'm nervous. But there is nothing as exciting as learning something new."
During his time at the Chicago Tribune, Youngman oversaw the creation of Metromix and RedEye. By targeting a different kind of audience, or "Tribune rejectors," Youngman has successfully launched both of these brands. In 2007, Youngman was appointed the Tribune's vice president of development.
As a Facebook user, Youngman is a big believer in the potential of social media and Web 2.0. Last year, chicagotribune.com increased traffic by 10 percent within three months through the use of social networks. Youngman believes this is an indication that traditional media forms are not as irrelevant as critics claim.
"Every story created by a newspaper has an enormous potential audience. Through strategic deployment of both digital and analog media, journalists can reach the people who most need what we have to say," Youngman said. "Our creativity and our ambitions need not be constrained."
Youngman will teach, write and do research during his time at Medill. He intends to influence and mentor a new generation of journalists who know how to take advantage of this new-media platform.
"I am hoping to pass on some of what I have learned at the Tribune to the next generation of great journalists," Youngman said. "I believe that my Medill colleagues and I have the opportunity to affect the whole news and media industry, not just one slice of it."

From the Editor
For many people in the United States, prisons are invisible. How is this possible, given that the US has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with more than 2.3 million people behind bars?
The answer is that prison, as an institution, relies on its own invisibility – its ability to disappear human beings.
Prisons are often stowed away in isolated rural areas and small towns. A large number of people in this country, particularly those who aren't part of the communities most impacted by incarceration, simply avert their eyes. As activist …more

Caleb and I had the opportunity to venture to Tennessee this past weekend for a wedding of an old friend. He grew up in church with the bride, Heather, so we all knew each other already! Also, my bestie was a Bridesmaid in the wedding, which made it even more fun!
They seriously got the perfect weather for a November wedding date. You really never know with November. It could rain, it could be 20 degrees and snowing, or it could turn out to be mid 50's and just tolerable enough to not wear a jacket. Luckily, that last one is exactly what we had. The glow from the sun we had all day was JUST right and I couldn't stop smiling. Michael and Heather, thank you so much for letting us be part of your big day, we had so much fun!
|Thats my bestie, Lynds! She and Heather have been roommates for the last few years, so this was a bittersweet day for them!
Their reception was way too much fun! Heather and Michael's friends were all so sweet! We left feeling like we made a bunch of new friends!
Rewind to Friday night when we arrived in TN, we stopped at our favorite book store in all the land; McKays. We discovered it about 3 years ago with Erin and Jared when we made a road trip to Memphis for a wedding Caleb was in, and knew we had to make the pit-stop again. Seriously, I had like 7 books in my hand, all for about .50 cents to $1.75. There was actually one brand new book I've been wanting and it was $7, but that's still a quarter of the price if I had bought it brand new from any other store! We headed back to our hotel and ordered a pizza, watched a movie and called it a night.
When we arrived back home Sunday afternoon, I took a MUCH needed nap. It. Was. Glorious! I'm really excited that we are approaching some SERIOUS free time now that this weekend is behind us. It's much needed. We have one more wedding in December, but guys, we have 4 free weekends before that. I can't even handle it! As much as we love photographing weddings, and serving our clients, its time to take time for ourselves and I'm pumped about it!
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend as well!

- July 24, 2014
Ordered several items and pleased on the quality of all. Based on reviews, I ordered a size or two up on everything. That turned out to be over zealous on some items, but not this shirt. I ordered a L and I am usually an S. It fits perfectly, is gorgeous and comfortable... just order two sizes larger!!

2007: A Preliminary Elemental Analysis of Amphipoda Gammarus spp. Collected From Disturbed and Pristine (Reference) Streams
Michael Stanley Gallisdorfer (Biology) University at Buffalo, The State University of New York
An application of the principles of ecological stoichiometry, this preliminary investigation examined the elemental composition of Amphipoda Gammarus spp. (including G. pseudolimnaeus and G. fasciatus) and associated leaf litter collected from disturbed and pristine (reference) streams in five watersheds located in James City County, VA. Disturbed streams received discharge from storm water retention ponds (BMPs) within 100 m of the sampling site, and also displayed varying degrees of channel incision and widening, bankside root exposure, disruptive sedimentation and burial of leaf pack habitat, and potentially conspicuous anthropogenic waste (e.g. rubbish, discarded appliances.) Pristine streams displayed no anthropogenic disturbance, although undocumented contamination may impact such sites. Samples were sorted, with identifiable (larger than quarter-sized) leaf litter and amphipodsremoved from coarse woody debris, sand, pebble, cobble, and unidentifiably small organic detritus. Leaf litter and Gammarus spp. were identified to family and genus, respectively, sorted into size classes, freeze-dried, pulverized, and analyzed for total C, H, and N with a Perkin-Elmer Series II CHNS/O 2400 elemental analyzer. Total P for leaf litter and Gammarus spp. were determined colorimetrically using an ashing/acid technique. Comparisons of C:N, C:P, and N:P were completed by size class and stream type. A repeated measures analysis revealed significant differences by amphipod size class for C:N (MD, SM) and N:P (LG, SM,) and for %P (LG, SM) and %N (LG, MD.) No significant differences occurred in C:N, C:P, N:P, %P, %N, and %C, between disturbed and pristine (reference) streams. A six-size class (LG+, LG, MD+, MD, SM+, SM) sample was prepared from a single pristine (reference) stream, suggesting an inverse relationship between C/N:P and %P. Leaf litter C:N, C:P, N:P, %P, %N, and %C differ significantly from their amphipod values, indicating that amphipoda homeostatically regulate their elemental composition. The elevated %P observed in SM+ and SM size-class Gammarus spp. and significant difference in N:P (LG, SM) suggests greater amounts of nucleic acids, possibly related to greater rates of cell division and therefore a more rapid growth rate in early instars.
For additional documentation Michael Gallisdofer provided a PowerPoint Presentation entitled "Elemental (C, N, P ) Analysis of Gamarrus spp" provided here in PDF form.
