When I first saw this book I thought, "wow it's a Bible Atlas that's almost pocket-sized!" Measuring just a couple mm's more than your average paperback, this handy reference book is more than transportable. Whether taking it to church or to your Bible study group, you won't be weighed down.
As for content, it spans the whole of the Bible's fascinating history – from creation to the spread of Christianity. It's geographically rich, travelling across the globe and includes many photos, maps and artifacts. Each section is spread over a double page, with clear subtitles and to-the-point language. I can see this book being extremely useful for every day Bible readers who want some historical/geological insight while they read about Solomon's Temple or Herod the Great.
A useful feature is the side flap on the front cover and back cover. You can bookmark what you've discovered to then take along to a small group to share or keep your place on the Egypt page while you're reading Exodus. The whole experience of reading it, with full colour pages and browsable feel, make it completely user-friendly.
What it doesn't do is partake in theological discussion – it presents the history, shows you the facts, quotes from historical sources, but holds back on deeper discussion (hence the 'concise' part of its title). I wouldn't recommend this book to theology students, but I would to those looking to enrich their Bible reading with an historical side glance at the Bible.

|While attempting to document Soviet nuclear capacities, the first generation of American intelligence satellites also captured vivid images of archaeological sites and landscapes across the Near East. Since their declassification, archaeologists have eagerly exploited them to investigate early cities, trackways, and irrigation systems. In many cases, forty years of development and modernization has damaged or destroyed these sites and features, leaving the satellite photographs as the best surviving record. This paper reviews case studies from Syria, Iraq, and Iran.

A Middle East on fire, as the Islamic State burns and slashes its way toward its goal of a global Caliphate.
A confident president, who believes that armed terrorist fighters "on the backs of pickup trucks" do not represent an existential threat to America.
A divided field of GOP presidential candidates, who debate the best method to confront the threat. Airstrikes. Economic damage. "Boots on the ground."
The world waits for an answer.
One man has found it.
Oregon folk singer James Twyman plans to travel to Syria next week to confront the mass-murdering terrorist group — with songs of peace.
The Portland native and self-described "Peace Troubadour" will perform a concert at a venue in ISIS-controlled territory in Syria on January 31, according to Fox News. Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a prayer, Twyman believes that focusing on positivity can held put an end to the devastating bloodshed.
"It's going to be pretty powerful," the singer told Fox. "When people come together and focus on something in a positive way… there's scientific evidence that it can change things for the better."
Twyman reportedly plans to depart for Israel on January 20. From there, he'll cross over the country's northern border with Syria, and meet with contacts who are helping to plan the peace concert. Twyman says that Christian, Islamic and Jewish leaders — and more than 2,500 Tibetan monks — will join with him as he sings song infused with the traditional prayers of each of the three religions.
The singer is also simultaneously organizing a worldwide prayer vigil, to be conducted on the day he performs in Syria.
"With all the violence, with all the fear that has been generated, I think the only answer is for us to focus on love and compassion and peace," the singer told Portland Fox affiliate KPTV. "And so to do something as crazy as going over there — it hopefully inspires people."
Twyman claims that a similar prayer event he helped organize in 1999 during Desert Storm drew roughly 2 million participants, who helped stave off air strikes by focusing their prayers "at the same moment [they] were ordered to begin."
The singer has reportedly ignored repeated warnings from the State Department advising him not to take the trip: "No part of Syria should be considered safe from violence," reads the agency's longstanding travel warning for American citizens.
Still, Twyman hopes that his extensive catalog of music, including songs like "Let's Put an End to War" and "God Has No Religion," will help inspire peace and unity in the traditionally sadistic and bloodthirsty terrorist group.
"People everywhere are concerned about the escalating violence in the Middle East, especially with the rise of ISIS, but they don't feel empowered to be part of the solution," he said on his website. "That is what we are about to change."

Beckler Peak Trail #1240
Total Ascent: 2300ft
Highest Point: 5062ft
Total Distance: 7.5 miles
Location: N 47° 44.1420, W 121° 16.9080
Required Permit: Northwest Forest Pass
Difficulty: Moderate
This week we headed out toward Steven's Pass to investigate news of a new trail opening in the Wild Sky Wilderness promising an easy hike up to great views atop Beckler Peak. We weren't the only ones who had heard the news; we arrived to find the parking lot at the recently dedicated Jennifer Dunn Trailhead already overflowing.
This trail delivers a great view without too much effort - a combination that has already made it very popular. The East Peak does not have a lot of room, and by the time we made it to the top there were already quite a few other folks there. While the crowds were certainly drawn by the recent trailhead construction, this hike is likely to continue to be popular so expect some company on your way up. Still, the route is in great condition and the nearly 360-degree views are excellent. We recommend you find your way out to Beckler Peak before long.
There's a lot more to Beckler Peak, and you can learn all about it in our book, Hiking Through History Washington. You'll find a trail map, route descriptions, history, and more for this and many more hikes throughout the State. Help support hikingwithmybrother.com and the work we do by picking up a copy!
To get there, take Highway 2 out past Skykomish. Two miles past the Ranger Station take a left onto FR 6066, which is signed but easy to overshoot if you're not paying attention. Continue for just under two miles to a junction. Bear right and continue about five miles to trailhead at road's end. FR 6066 is a one-lane gravel road with occasional pullouts; use some extra caution navigating the traffic as hikers explore new trailhead. -Nathan

You Must Watch "Friday Night Lights"
I saw some episodes when the show first came out, lost track of it, and now have bought the first two seasons DVDs (good deal on Amazon) and am in the process of both watching the first full season and the new season, which has been running on NBC at 9 p.m. on Friday night EST.
This is a great show. Click here to get a sense of what it's all about. The acting is just awesome, and I'd give special kudos to Kyle Chandler, who plays head coach Eric Taylor, Connie Britton, who plays Taylor's wife, Tammy (who is now the high school's principal) and Zach Gilford, who plays QB Matt Saracen. The others whose names are in the credits are outstanding, too, as is the cinematography, the supporting acting (the actress who plays the star running back's mother gives all-time performances), and the music is terrific. This is a great series about a community in Texas, its high school football team, and the lives of many who surround it.
Give yourself a treat -- take the time to watch this show.

Interactions between von Neumann algebras and quantum algebras
Gesamtkosten:EUR 165 598,80

During his construction of a solid mathematical theory behind - the at that time completely new - quantum mechanics, von Neumann introduced his eponymous algebras to describe observable quantities. These "von Neumann algebras" became a basic tool in various other branches of mathematics, including Lie theory (the theory of continuous symmetries), non-commutative geometry (a "quantum" version of classical differential geometry), and, surprisingly, the theory of knots, for which V. Jones received a Fields Medal.
Strangely enough, although the theory of von Neumann algebras is quite pervasive in mathematics and mathematical physics, their actual construction and classification remains largely shrouded in mystery (despite deep work on classification by A. Connes, also getting him a Fields Medal). Particularly unsatisfactory is that the types of von Neumann algebras that are most relevant to quantum mechanics, so-called "type III"-algebras, are very rare.
With this Marie-Curie fellowship, I pick up the two challenges of construction and classification, especially focussing on Connes' famous rigidity conjecture for lattices in Lie groups as well as type III von Neumann algebras, using two entirely new approaches. The first is the use of finite-dimensional approximations, that I used previously in a different context (studying the Haagerup property and Lp-Fourier multipliers). The second new approach is based on the theory of quantum groups.
Utrecht University (host institution) is the unique place in Europe housing both experts in non-commutative analysis and Lie theory, and thereby provides exactly the necessary (complementary) expertise that is necessary to attack these deep and profound problems.
The results will have a lasting impact on and connect further the theories of non-commutative geometry, operator algebras, Lie theory, quantum group theory and partly quantum physics.

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia -- A group of Universiti Sains Malaysia medical students has allegedly been brainwashed into leaving their studies by a Buddhist monk.
"These students were led to believe that patients should not receive medical treatment for their condition as sickness is the result of their karma.
"They are convinced that they should not become doctors as the act of treating patients will interfere with karma," said Chong.
It is believed that the monk had approached the students in March this year and had gained a following through religious activities conducted off-campus.
The monk also allegedly claimed that he had supernatural power and was able to tell the past and predict the future of the students.
"Compassion is central to Buddhist beliefs. What the monk had propagated about leaving patients to their sickness is wrong.
"We hope to curb the spread of misleading religious beliefs among students by creating better awareness on the true teachings of Buddhism," said Chong.
The students are said to want to leave the medical school and transfer to other programmes such as nutrition and sports science.
They are also having strained relationships with their family members following their decision to quit medical studies.
It was understood that some of the students were in their third and fourth year of studies.
A university official confirmed that three students had applied to transfer to other courses.
Vice-chancellor Prof Dr Datuk Omar Osman said none of the students had received approval to switch courses and the university viewed the matter of students being influenced by misleading religious teachings seriously.
"We do not want the students to simply switch courses because they are very good students and had worked very hard to gain a place to study medicine," said Prof Omar.
He added that the university was reaching out to the students through counselling.

Top 100 Agencies: Lanmark360
Lots of firms in the South Jersey area gave generously of both their time and their money in the wake of Hurricane Sandy last year. But the effort that was spearheaded by Lanmark360 president Howard Klein might have been the most personal, if only because its progress could be measured by looking at his face.
Located just a Frisbee-throw away from the shore in West Long Branch, NJ, Lanmark360 suffered a dual blow at the storm's hands. Both its office and the nearby homes of most of its employees were without power for some time after Sandy hit. But even before the lights went back on, Klein and the agency had gone live on the web and via social media with "Shave the Shore," in which Klein pledged not to shave until the agency had raised $10,000 to help victims of the storm. He was joined in various ways by others at the firm; a proofreader, for example, vowed not to dye her hair until the campaign met its goal.
Three weeks in, "Shave the Shore" was within $500 of the $10,000 mark and the Lanmark360 gang were honing their razors. Then a client, Darby Dental Supply, stepped up with a challenge: If the agency would keep going until it reached $15,000, Darby would donate $5,000 to push the final number to $20,000. And so it was on Day 39 of the campaign that the goal was met and the full sum was donated to the American Red Cross.
Klein couldn't go clean-cheeked for a day or two beyond that—the campaign's conclusion coincided with his barber's day off—but he couldn't be prouder of the way his agency rallied around the cause. "Bringing out the best in us and those around us—that's what we wanted to do with Shave the Shore."
That kind of spirit and commitment informs just about everything Lanmark360 does. The firm doesn't take half-measures, whether with its clients (the duration of its average client relationship is seven years) or with its coffee (the in-house Café 360 brews 10 different coffees from fresh beans every day, free for employees, clients and UPS guys alike). "Look, we're in advertising. Everybody knows it's not a nine-to-five job," Klein says. "But who says that you can't attempt to give your staff a good quality of life while everybody's working hard?"
The approach appears to be working for the agency. Lanmark360 closed 2012 just shy of $10 million in gross billings and the firm expects to clear that benchmark when the 2013 results are tallied. New clients Lanmark360 included Oragenics (for work on probiotics), Colgate (for oral pharmaceuticals) and Evident Health Services (for the first of what's envisioned as many diabetes care centers). Lanmark360 also picked up the hospital down the block—Monmouth Medical Center. Klein lauds that new business as "a return to my roots" (his background is in hospital marketing). The agency only lost a single client: the salivary-diagnostics concern OralDNA, which was sold by Quest Diagnostics to Access Genetics.While the agency's headcount remains just about where it was at this time last year—40 full-timers—Klein says that he sees something of a shift in the Lanmark360 administrative model. "We'd always been an agency that prided itself on using all full-time resources and rarely bringing in freelancers, but times have changed," he explains. "I'm not sure anyone would be able to survive if they didn't bring in contracted specialists. Given the digital nature of the business, nobody can afford to have all sorts of coders around all the time."

Nets general manager Bill King believes All-Star point guard Deron Williams will join the team in its new home in Brooklyn after exploring free agency this summer.
Speaking at a year-end wrapup five days after the Nets missed the playoffs for the fifth straight year, King sounded confident that he would be able to re-sign Williams after the 27-year-old opts out of the final year of his contract.
"I feel pretty good," King said. "I haven't wavered all year in my thought process with this. I think he and I understand what I've got to do and where we've got to get to. The goal is to win. The goal is to not be talking to you this early in the year in the spring. If we can come back with our core and add to that, I think we have a great shot to be playing postseason basketball next year."
Heading into the offseason, King has four players under contract for next season – rookie guard MarShon Brooks, rookie forward Jordan Williams, backup center Johan Petro and shooting guard Anthony Morrow.
Starting center Brook Lopez is a restricted free agent. Power forward Kris Humphries is unrestricted and forward Gerald Wallace has a player option to decide whether to stay with the Nets (22-44).
"Obviously, Deron and Gerald Wallace are key pieces that we would like back in the fold. (And) Brook Lopez," said King, who also wants to re-sign Gerald Green, who averaged almost 13 points after coming out of the developmental league. "They are major, big-time free agents, and you add Humphries in there as a starting four.
"So, you look at those guys and I didn't do it in any order. I'm just trying to think as you go through the 11 in my head. But those four, I think, are core pieces that you've got to look to build with going forward."
Williams seemingly is the one they can't let slip away as the team move to the new Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn. He is the face of the organization at this point, the one guy who can be used to convince new fans to support the team.
The problem is convincing Williams to stay. He has said he will opt out of the final year of a contract that will pay him $17.8 million next season to test the free agent market.
Williams wants to play for a team that can win a title. The Nets believe they are building a contender and have the added attraction of a state-of-the art facility that King believes will be the best in the league.
King said the Nets could survive in Brooklyn without Williams, who led the team by averaging 21 points, 8.7 assists and 36.3 minutes. But clearly, having him there is better than not.
"Anytime you have a guy that I consider to be the best point guard in the league, it makes my job a lot easier, it makes Avery's (Johnson) job a lot easier," King said. "It makes everybody else's job easier, so yes."
The 30-year-old Wallace, who was acquired from Portland at the trading deadline, would be the other big get for King. The veteran refused to say whether he would opt-in to play for the Nets next season, but King indicated that Wallace also would test the free agency market by not opting in on the final year of his contract by June 13.
King realizes this might be the last chance for Wallace to get a big contract, and he told him he deserves it.
"Our goal is to get him to the point where we're comfortable with the numbers, he's comfortable with the numbers," King said, "and we keep him in the fold."
King said the Nets would be aggressive in free agency, one way or the other.
"We have cap space," he said. "We have the potential to create more cap space, so the flexibility is there, and I think the greatest thing we have is a brand-new building that's gonna be the best in the NBA. We're in Brooklyn, so all of these things, it's different than the last two summers in the offseason, because now you're not talking, `hey, here's the pictures of the Barclays Center. Come look at it.'"
King doesn't feel extra pressure taking the team to Brooklyn and producing a winner immediately for owner Mikhail Prokhorov.
"People say, `Is there pressure because Mikhail said we're gonna win a championship in five years?'" King said. "No! That's a great goal. I'd rather have an owner saying that than `Don't lose me money.' You know? There's some guys who own teams that don't (care). All they care about is they don't want to lose money.
"We've got one that wants to win a championship. It's my job to try to help get the pieces and help Avery."
King felt Johnson did an outstanding job coaching the team in a lockout-marred season that saw Lopez limited to five games by injuries. And King has not talked to Johnson about possible changes to the coaching staff.

BUG: Rectangles inside FW symbols become blurry/misalignedgroove25 Sep 28, 2012 11:30 AM
There seems to be a problem with the use of Rectangles within Symbols in Fireworks CS6, CS5 and earlier.
The problem is that they become blurry. More exactly, they become repositioned within the symbol—aligned to the half-pixel—and their edges become anti-aliased as a result. For example, here's a series of rectangles that I'd created on the canvas to visualize a set of color swatches:
Here's the same set of rectangles after having been saved as a Symbol and imported into another document:
At first I thought this was a problem with Symbols in general, but then I discovered that it only occurred with Rectangles—a.k.a. "rectangle primitives", which are a special kind of grouped vector object created using the Rectangle tool—and only when the contents of the Symbol in which they resided had a pixel width or height ending in an odd number (i.e., 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9).
Here's what I've observed, in greater detail. Start with two Rectangles, 99 x 99 pixels—one with a stroke only, the other with a fill only. Select the first Rectangle and choose Modify > Symbol > Convert to Symbol, and then do the same for the second. Save the file. Everything looks OK, right?
Now close the file, and reopen it. Have a look at the thumbnail previews within your Document Library. They look a little... fuzzy, yes?
Click on the name of one of the symbols in the Document Library to open the Symbol Properties dialog, and then click OK. Now look on the canvas...
Yikes. The symbol instance containing the stroked Rectangle (on the left) has become quite blurred. Now, back within the Document Library panel, click on the thumbnail preview of the other symbol to enter Edit Symbol mode, and then return to the document canvas...
Yikes again. The symbol instance containing the fill Rectangle (on the right) has also become blurred—horizontally, in this case. They both look worse now.
Note that it's not the instances nor their placement on the canvas that's the problem—you can move them anywhere on the canvas, and they'll still look just as bad—but the symbols themselves. Double click on one of the symbols to enter Edit Symbol mode and select the rectangle. Its X-Y position in the Properties panel will look normal, but if you open the Transform panel extension (http://www.senocular.com/fireworks/extensions/?entry=572), you'll see the real story: The rectangle has been re-aligned to the half-pixel.
Importantly, the trigger here isn't the dimensions of the rectangle, per se, but of the symbol contents as a whole. If the symbol contents have an even-numbered dimension, alignment remains crisp and pixel-perfect along that dimension; if the symbol contents have an odd-numbered pixel dimension, a blurry misalignment occurs. For example, here's a series of "even" rectangles (20 x 20 pixels) that, with their single-pixel spacing, comprise an odd-numbered selection (125px), shown before and after symbol conversion:
Incidentally, the same problem reveals itself when you import these symbols into another document using the Import Symbols command within the Document Library options menu.
The patch for this bug, once it's occurred, is to edit the symbol. In Edit Symbol mode, select all objects—or just the misaligned Rectangle objects—and choose Modify > Snap To Pixel.
The fly in the ointment here is that, in many cases, the original alignment is not preserved. The rectangles may now be misaligned in relation to other objects in the symbol, as well as to other objects on the canvas. Therefore, to finish the job, you may need to also nudge the rectangle(s) by a pixel horizontally or vertically using the keyboard arrow keys.
The good news is that once a symbol has been fixed using Snap To Pixel, its alignment and clarity should remain fixed.
The surest way to avoid this issue, of course, is to avoid including Rectangles in your symbols—not the geometric shape, but the grouped vector object as it's created by the Rectangle tool. Therefore, prior to converting a selection to a symbol, check for any Rectangles within the selection and ungroup them using the Modify > Ungroup command, which will convert them into simple paths, unaffected by this bug. (Chances are, by the time you're converting these objects to symbols, you won't need the fluid resizing or adjustable rounded corners that Rectangle objects offer; the trick will be remembering to perform this extra step.)
Lastly, here's the bug report that I submitted to Adobe regarding this issue:
Product name: Fireworks
Product Version: 22.214.171.124
Product Language: English
Your operating system: Mac OS 10.6.8
Concise problem statement: Rectangles within Symbols become blurry if the width or height of the symbol contents is an odd number (e.g., 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, etc.). The blurriness is caused by misalignment of Rectangles on the half-pixel within the symbol, and becomes apparent upon closing and reopening the document and either a) viewing the symbol's Document Library thumbnail preview, or b) clicking to view Symbol Properties or to Edit Symbol. It can also be observed upon Importing the symbol into the Document Library of another document.
Steps to reproduce bug:
- In an open FW document, draw a Rectangle and set the width and/or height to an odd number (e.g., 99 x 99 pixels).
- Select the Rectangle and Convert to Symbol.
- Save and close the document.
- Reopen the document. In the Document Library, double-click the symbol name to open the Symbol Properties dialog, and click OK. (Or double-click the symbol preview to Edit, and then return to the document canvas.)
Results: The Symbol instance appears blurry on the canvas. (The Symbol itself also appears blurry within Edit mode.)
Expected results: The Symbol should appear as it was originally created, without a loss of clarity or change in alignment.
Note that this bug can occur whether a rectangle's dimensions are even or odd; the determining factor is the dimensions of the symbol contents as a whole. However, the bug affects Rectangles only; it has not been observed with paths, ellipses, auto shapes, bitmaps, or groups.
The Transform panel extension was used to view the precise pixel alignment of objects and determine the cause of the blurriness.
For more information, including graphic demonstrations and workarounds, please see the following forum post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1073489?tstart=0
This bug has also been observed in Fireworks 8 and CS5 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Amazingly, this bug can also affect Symbol instances on the canvas that have been "broken apart". To see this for yourself, create a symbol like one of the preceding examples, select the symbol instance on the canvas and choose Modify > Symbol > Break Apart. Save and close the file, then reopen it. The "broken apart" instance on the canvas will now appear blurry/misaligned(!).

Update on my paw
So my paw's getting better! I was having some trouble getting up for a couple days, I really got mom and dad worried. I couldn't care any weight on my back hip which is weird because I didn't fall or hurt my back leg, the vet says if it isn't better in a couple days I'm gonna have to get my blood drawn (yikes!). But I'm better! I'm able to walk around fine and getting up is much better. I think I might've given my mom a heart attack when all this happened. But don't worry, I have to go back to see Dr. H on tuesday to remove my staples (yikes again!) Dad was sad because he had to go to Vegas for his bachelor party (without his best man- me!). But he's been calling everyday to check up on mom and me. So the past couple days has just been me and my mom. We've been doing alot of laying around because she wanted to let me rest - what? I'm a young boy I don't need rest! The only thing I got to do was go for a couple small walks, that's about it. Mom's been walk-stingy. Ok Ok so the best part of my update is that we finally got snow!!! Yesterday when Mom and home and let me out there was snow EVERYWHERE! I was in heaven! I was running around the backyard like a lunatic! Dad says he wishes he was here to see me play in the snow. But he'll be back tonight. Mom promises more pictures soon! If not I'll tell her to get on it.
Peace out,

There is a reason why the post below is

Peter's Principle
The last thing that criminals, anarchists, and domestic and foreign
terrorists need is to have Americans acknowledge publicly that the
services and sacrifices of police officers throughout the United States
and members of the military are valued DAILY. One way of doing so is to
simply give a "thumbs up" signal of appreciation to a police officer
whenever eye contact is made, even at a distance or when a patrol car
drives by. The same applies to members of the U.S. military services
whether at home, at an airport, or overseas. There are more "Good Guys" in America than
"Bad Guys", and its time to let the "Bad Guys" know that Americans will
not stand by and allow criminals or terrorists to destroy our
neighborhoods, towns, and cities. The disrespect of institutions and
people that protect America must end, and this includes holding
accountable members of the press, media, advertisers, and sponsors that
overtly or cryptically support dishonest and corrupt politicians that
believe that they are above the law.
Message by "The American"
The Protect The United States project involves
domestic and foreign issues that currently threaten America's
independence and values.
This will be the "worst nightmare" for all "Bad Guys" -- domestic and foreign; having to deal with millions of decent and idealistic Americans with home computers (and their OWN network of friends and social media contacts) is a lot different than being able to threaten, intimidate, blackmail, or pay off thousands of KNOWN vulnerable or corrupt people who happen to be influential or work in "high places" like in government or the press and media.
The last
thing that the "Bad Guys" need is having thousands of experienced Americans
providing ideas and guidance to the next generation of "computer-literate
self-starters". For those young idealists who like the idea of taking on the
"Bad Guys", the following advice applies: No political party or person in America has a monopoly on good or bad ideas.
Operate as an American who knows God, understands the meaning of freedom, and is
not afraid to debate and defend the values our country was founded upon. We encourage Americans to help the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION to #DrainTheSwamp.
This is a "new ball game" and we thank our nation's founders and God for
laying out the "ground rules".
Message by The American to All DOMESTIC "Bad Guys"
"Just let every
Senator and House member know that Americans will be organizing millions
of senior citizens along with high school and college students, teachers, and professors to use the
Internet to uncover waste, abuse, fraud, and corruption involving local,
county, state, and federal level government employees and their contract
awards and contractors. Americans cannot depend on self-serving
politicians and their friends in "high places" to protect the United
States on economic and national security matters."
"If the national press and media choose not to fulfill their constitutional responsibility to protect the public's right to know when "government" and/or its "representatives" abuse their power, our constitution allows Americans to legally express themselves (freedom of speech) by also either boycotting or praising the very advertisers and sponsors that financially support the press and national media. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on one's point of view) "money talks". Just as the national press and media have the right to expose or ignore abuses of government power, the American public has the right to support (or boycott) the sponsors that help support financially the national press and media. An analysis of the problem shows that (1) the media is highly dependent on advertisers, (2) advertisers are highly dependent on the public, and (3) the public has been very ineffective in holding politicians and members of the press and media accountable for irresponsible conduct.
America has MILLIONS of Americans, affectionately known in the "Old Day" as "Sleeping Giants", who are about to wake up. The last thing that the "Bad Guys" need is to have millions of "Good Guys" waking up" and taking a close look at what the "Bad Guys" are doing and how they are doing it. The TRUMP ADMINISTRATION will #DrainTheSwamp with the help of the Americans that voted on Nov. 8, 2016.
The Value of a Free Press
The NBC-Brian Williams scandal of
February 2015 was just the beginning. The TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN demonstrated to Americans that our founders knew exactly
what they were doing when they created the Constitution of the United
States. The former NBC Nightly News Anchor would never had been exposed
in a country headed by a dictatorship that controls the press, media,
and free speech. Likewise, the dishonest press and media was exposed during the TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. Message to all "Bad Guys:
Ending Racism and Discrimination
Anyone born in America or who becomes a naturalized citizen of the United States is an American. There is no reason why an American citizen cannot be called an "American" by others rather than "what type" of American they are. This policy will help end a lot of nonsense and put racists of all colors and ethnic backgrounds out of business, including self-serving profiteers and politicians. Exploiters of human beings are mostly looking for power, money, or some type of unfair advantage over others. Unfortunately, some members of the press, media, and even their sponsors support this nonsense, which also makes it more difficult for the United States to compete economically against other nations; holding any American back by not applying our laws equally to individuals adversely affects our productivity.
Some politicians will not call an America an "American" if it offends their "politically correct or incorrect" supporters. In simple language, there is absolutely nothing wrong with appropriately using the term "American" to describe a White-American, African-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, Christian-American, Jewish-American, Islamic-American or any other "qualified" American. Doing so will deal a major blow to racists, terrorists, self-serving politicians, and a lot of divisive people who make their livings exploiting or hurting others.
Any American certainly has the right to call themselves whatever they wish. This especially applies to any American who is proud of his or her ethnic heritage. But Americans also have the right to question the motives of anyone who is afraid to or will not call an American an "American". This is another way of saying that all American adults should abide by the law, all laws must be enforced and applied equally to all Americans, and all Americans should expect other Americans to protect their rights. Apply this as accepted "Policy" in the United States, supported by all political parties, and watch most all Americans positively and optimistically hold their heads high...again, the way it used to be when immigrants wanted to be called "Americans".
American parents and grandparents must communicate this message to their children. There is nothing wrong with being an American and standing up to and protecting the principles our country was founded upon.......nothing less.
Please pass this on.

Smart Connections Will Account for 97 Percent of Global Mobile Traffic by 2019
Smart Connections Will Account for 97 Percent of Global Mobile Traffic by 2019
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 3, 2015) - Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) -- According to the latest annual update of the Cisco® Visual Networking Index™ (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast for 2014 to 2019, the ongoing adoption of more powerful mobile devices and machine-to-machine (M2M) connections combined with broader access to faster cellular networks are key contributors to significant mobile traffic growth. In 2014, 88 percent of global mobile data traffic was "smart" traffic, with advanced computing/multi-media capabilities and a minimum of 3G connectivity, but that figure is expected to rise to 97 percent by 2019.
The worldwide shift from basic-feature phones to smartphones -- combined with the continued growth in tablets, a resurgence in laptops with tablet-like capabilities as well as expanding machine-to-machine (M2M) applications -- are key factors supporting the increasing smart traffic trend. From a global mobile network perspective, 3G is expected to surpass 2G as the top cellular technology, based on connection share, by 2017. By 2019, 3G networks will support 44 percent of global mobile devices and connections; 4G networks will support 26 percent of connections, though will generate 68 percent of traffic.
In terms of topline traffic growth, the Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast projects that global mobile data traffic will reach an annual run rate of 292 exabytes by 2019, up from 30 exabytes in 2014. These predicted 292 exabytes would represent:
*An exabyte is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one quintillion bytes or one billion gigabytes.
Key Global Mobile Data Traffic Drivers
From 2014 to 2019, Cisco anticipates that global mobile traffic growth will outpace global fixed traffic growth by a factor of three. Trends driving mobile data traffic growth include:
Impact of Mobile M2M Connections (and Wearable Devices)
M2M refers to applications that enable wireless systems to communicate with similar devices to support global positioning satellite (GPS) navigation systems, asset tracking, utility meters, security and surveillance video. Wearable devices are included as a sub-segment of the M2M connections category to help project the growth trajectory of the Internet of Everything (IoE).
Increase in 4G Connectivity
Many global service providers are deploying 4G technologies to address consumer and business users' strong demand for wireless services and content. In many emerging markets, service providers are creating new mobile infrastructures with 4G solutions. In some mature markets, service providers are supplementing or replacing legacy 2G or 3G solutions with 4G technologies.
Wi-Fi Offload Traffic Surpasses Cellular Traffic
"Offload" refers to traffic from dual mode devices and supports cell and Wi-Fi connectivity, excluding laptops, over Wi-Fi and small cell networks. Offloading occurs at the user or device level when one switches from a cell connection to Wi-Fi and small cell access. The Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast (2014-2019) mobile offload projections include traffic from public hotspots and residential Wi-Fi networks.
Voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) Surpasses Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE)
Given the growth and strategic mobile networking role of Wi-Fi technologies, this year's study includes an analysis of VoWi-Fi compared to other mobile voice services. VoWi-Fi is not new, but earlier solutions had limitations that affected adoption and end-user experiences. Carrier-grade VoWi-Fi offers are now being introduced, which can be delivered to non-SIM devices, such as Wi-Fi only tablets. VoWi-Fi has the potential for significant growth over the next five years.
Growth of Mobile Cloud Traffic
Cloud applications and services such as Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, and Spotify allow mobile users to overcome the memory capacity and processing power limitations of mobile devices.
Key Regional Growth Projections
In terms of mobile data traffic growth rates over the forecast period, the Middle East and Africa region is projected to have the highest regional growth rate. Below is how each of the regions ranks in terms of growth rate by 2019:
1. The Middle East and Africa will have a 72 percent CAGR and 15.3-fold growth
2. Central and Eastern Europe will have a 71 percent CAGR and 14.4-fold growth
3. Asia-Pacific will have a 58 percent CAGR 9.7-fold growth
4. Latin America will have a 59 percent CAGR and 10.1-fold growth
5. North America will have a 47 percent CAGR and 6.8-fold growth
6. Western Europe will have a 48 percent CAGR and 7.1-fold growth
In terms of mobile data traffic generation, the Asia-Pacific region is projected to generate the most mobile data traffic. Below is how each of the regions ranks in terms of anticipated mobile data traffic generation by 2019:
1. Asia-Pacific: 9.5 exabytes per month by 2019
2. North America: 3.8 exabytes per month by 2019
3. Western Europe: 2.4 exabytes per month by 2019
4. Central and Eastern Europe: 3.5 exabytes per month by 2019
5. The Middle East and Africa: 3.0 exabytes per month by 2019
6. Latin America: 2.0 exabytes per month by 2019
Cisco Mobile VNI Forecast Methodology
The Cisco VNI Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast (2014-2019) relies upon independent analyst forecasts and real-world mobile data usage studies. Upon this foundation are layered Cisco's own estimates for mobile application adoption, minutes of use and transmission speeds. Key enablers such as mobile broadband speed and device computing power are also factored into Cisco mobile VNI projections and findings. A detailed methodology description is included in the complete report (see link below).
Supporting Quote
"The ongoing adoption of more powerful mobile devices and wider deployments of emerging M2M applications, combined with broader access to faster wireless networks, will be key contributors to significant mobile traffic growth in the coming years. This mobile-centric environment will give service providers a new landscape of challenges and opportunities to innovatively deliver a variety of mobile services and experiences to consumers and business users as the Internet of Everything (IoE) continues to take shape."

Promise and Reality
The victory cheers had barely died down in Grant Park when seismic shifts could be felt in the world of healthcare. Barack Obama's election-win heralds a new era for the industry with the potential of far-reaching reform. With this upcoming healthcare tsunami, communications professionals will be challenged like never before. Players in every sector of the industry are already scrambling to position their policy initiatives in a favorable light with the public and the new administration.
And it is no wonder. Healthcare was the number-one domestic issue in the campaign prior to the economic meltdown. Given the interconnectedness of healthcare to the economy, many experts believe that the economy cannot be fixed without fixing healthcare. It is the biggest piece of the economic pie, representing one in every six dollars—17% of the gross domestic product. Indeed, President Obama has said the question isn't whether we can afford to fix healthcare, the question is whether we can afford not to.
Already the forces of reform are aligning. Sen. Max Baucus has introduced a bill similar to Obama's healthcare plan, which would vastly increase the number of Americans who receive health insurance. Sen. Ted Kennedy has announced that he will also be sponsoring a bill on universal coverage and has enlisted Sen. Hillary Clinton in this effort. America's Health Insurance Plans just announced their own reform plan which would achieve universal coverage by reducing the cost of healthcare by 30% over five years.
Powerful voices in the advocacy world are weighing in. Just to make sure the new administration does not lose sight of healthcare as a legislative priority, AARP and the Service Employees International Union, along with other groups, have launched a multi-million dollar ad campaign urging healthcare reform now.
The appointment of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to head Health and Human Services is a clear signal to many that Obama will use his political capital early to push a reform package through Congress. Yet the realities of the economy may make this approach less tenable in the year ahead. Public support for reform is high; with 70% of Americans believing our healthcare system is in need of major change, according to a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
While debate rages whether reform should be immediate and sweeping or incremental with small victories, the stage is set for some landmark legislative battles that will affect every sector of the industry. PR and public affairs specialists will be integral to framing the looming battles ahead. In addition to the specter of massive reform, here are some areas to watch:
Children's healthcare The only mandate in the Obama healthcare plan is to cover children. Watch for the renewal, and possible expansion, of the State Children's Health Insurance Plan, which requires all children to have coverage. While other elements of reform will be contentious, this is almost certain to garner bipartisan support.
Medicare and drug prices Obama has proposed changing the Medicare drug benefit legislation to allow federal officials to negotiate the price of drugs. While there is considerable sentiment that the government, as the largest purchaser of drugs, should be able to negotiate prices, there is fierce resistance from the pharmaceutical industry. And for good reason—drug companies stand to lose $30 billion in revenue if this is passed. Not surprisingly, PhRMA, the association of pharmaceutical companies, has launched a major television advertising campaign aimed at supporting "free market healthcare." Look for a new iteration of Harry and Louise, those iconic characters from the Clinton reform era.
Medical technology The Obama plan calls for $50 billion over the next few years to accelerate the development of electronic medical records (EMR). Many people believe EMRs will improve safety and generate considerable cost savings. The new administration is tech savvy and will be a friend to innovation on the medical technology front.
Generic drugs Generic drugs represent 65% of the total prescriptions dispensed in this country, and this sector of the industry is poised to get a big legislative boost. With the dramatic cost savings of generics, the Obama administration is likely to work with Congress to enact an approval pathway for biogenerics, a long-sought goal of the generics industry. As the economy declines, there will be considerable pressure to make these lower-cost drugs available to millions of Americans. For pharmaceutical communicators who advocate the efficacy of branded products, this will be a major issue in the year ahead.
The FDA Congress just announced an investigation into the FDA's process for approving medical devices. This is just the latest in developments that hurt the agency's credibility. It is hoped that Obama's appointment of a new agency head will strengthen management and restore morale to the FDA. As Sen. Kennedy's committee must confirm the nominee, it is expected that this individual will not have ties to the pharmaceutical industry. The tough regulatory climate that has slowed drug approvals is expected to continue. Pharma communicators may have more advisory committee hearings and stalled drug approvals in their future.
Stem cell research Obama's election was very good news for the nation's fledgling stem cell companies, which have chafed under the ban on federal funding for research imposed by President Bush. Obama is widely expected to overturn this ban. However, this good news for stem cell companies is somewhat mitigated by the financial crisis which will put a damper on investment in the industry.
Providers According to Moody's Investors Services, the nation's hospitals will prosper under Obama's plan to extend healthcare to uninsured Americans. In addition to alleviating the financial burden of hospitals caring for the uninsured, Obama's plan is expected to increase research funding and provide $10 billion to hospitals to adopt healthcare information technology. Both for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals are expected to thrive under the new administration.
Health and wellness All of the health reform plans on the table are unanimous in their calls for preventative measures that will keep people healthy and reduce the staggering costs of chronic illness. While health plans have long championed "wellness," look for employers, who bear the greatest burden of costs, to be more aggressive in promoting health and wellness among their employees. Brand companies with healthcare platforms will flourish in this new environment. For communications professionals, this is the fastest-growing sector of healthcare, and that growth will be accelerated in an Obama administration.
The Internet rules Just as the Obama campaign wrote a new chapter on Internet fund raising, the new administration will employ online strategies to lay the groundwork for healthcare reform. HHS Secretary Designate Tom Daschle has announced a grassroots program comprised of online videos, blogs, and e-mail alerts to solicit opinions on healthcare issues. The Obama administration will use the Internet in other areas, but chose to begin with healthcare because "every American is feeling the pressure of high health costs and lack of quality care, and we feel it's important to engage them in the process of reform," said Stephanie Cutter, spokesperson for the Obama transition team.
The roars of Grant Park are now echoing in the halls of Congress. Change is coming and it is already rearranging the landscape of healthcare. There will be winners and losers as industry players jockey for position with the new administration. For healthcare communicators, it will be the best of times and the worst of times—but nonetheless a time when their skills can have a profound impact on the American healthcare system.

Media decide new Spider-Man also may be gay
As sometimes happens when comic-book story developments become mainstream-media sensations, the official announcement yesterday that Marvel's new Ultimate Spider-Man is a biracial teen named Miles Morales has turned into a game of Telephone, with information added and dropped as the message goes along.
It didn't take long for London's Daily Mail to jump from Spider-Man has a half-black, half-Latino teen to a half-black, half-Latino teen … who "could be gay in the future": "Fans will have to wait until the official Spider Man relaunch next month to find out how he came to be the superhero. But another surprise could be in the pipeline after his creators said that in the future they would not rule out making him gay."
As best as I can tell, the sole basis for that is a quote from USA Today in which Ultimate Spider-Man artist Sara Pichelli says, "Maybe sooner or later a black or gay — or both — hero will be considered something absolutely normal." It's not exactly the same thing, is it? Doesn't matter, though, as it's good enough for Matt Drudge to declare that the Spider-Man "reincarnation" "could be gay."
For the record, a Marvel spokesman was unambiguous when he confirmed for CBR News that Miles Morales isn't gay.
Still, a blogger for the gay magazine Instinct is pleased with the possibility, writing that "though my money was on Robin as the first mainstream superhero to come out, I'll be nothing but in awe if Marvel makes the great webbed one bat, err, spider, for our team!"
Meanwhile, Glenn Beck has weighed in on the new Spider-Man, saying, "Do I care if he's half-Hispanic, all Hispanic? No. Half-black, half — I really don't care. Half-gay, all gay, I don't really care. … I don't care. It's a stupid comic book." However, what he does care about is that … Michelle Obama is somehow — somehow! — behind the "half-black, half-Hispanic gay Spider-Man."

The parties to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) were unable to reach any agreement at their month-long 2015 Review Conference ostensibly because of Middle-East politics. The parties were also far apart on how to deal with nuclear disarmament. In the Humanitarian Pledge, a new dynamic has emerged.
By Tim Caughley
'The whole plan to have the non-nuclear-weapons powers accept responsibility for preventing the destruction of mankind by renouncing nuclear arms is in disarray'. So said Alva Myrdal (Swedish minister for disarmament during the NPT negotiations and former Nobel Peace Prize winner) in 1976. The recent five-year review of that treaty has done little to dispel that conclusion.

WASHINGTON — Making surgical death rates in Veterans Administration hospitals public could harm patients and encourage doctors to ``manipulate`` statistics to make their safety records look better, VA officials told a Senate committee Tuesday.
``This statistical data could be easily misinterpreted by the veteran,`` said Dr. John A. Gronvall, VA deputy chief medical director. ``As a consequence, such a veteran may well be dissuaded from seeking appropriate treatment.``
But Sen. Alan Cranston, D-Calif., who has introduced legislation to make VA medical data public, said the agency`s position reflected ``a misguided sense of paternalism.``
``Veterans . . . have a right to know about the proficiency of various programs from which they might seek care,`` said Cranston, ranking minority member of the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs.
VA officials contend death and injury statistics from the agency`s 172 hospitals are secret under a 1980 law that makes all medical ``quality assurance`` documents confidential.
Cranston`s bill was introduced in response to the VA`s four-year legal battle to conceal heart surgery death rates at Miami`s VA hospital from the Fort Lauderdale News and Sun-Sentinel.
After filing a federal lawsuit, the newspapers won release of VA documents showing the Miami program had reported heart surgery death rates as high as 25 percent, five times the VA`s average. VA officials say the hospital`s safety record since has improved.
While VA officials concede that death rates vary among VA hospitals, they insist that ``indiscriminate`` release of this information might ``damage`` public confidence in the VA, the nation`s largest health care provider.

Crowds of well-wishers got one last glimpse Monday, April 11, of Prince William and Kate Middleton, in the couple's final public appearances before their wedding later this month.
Heavy rain did not keep crowds away from greeting the couple in the northern town of Darwen in East Lancashire.
The couple met teachers and students as they formally opened a new school and launched an award in the prince's honor.
The SkillForce Prince's Award will honor a teenager - starting in 2012 - who shows significant character or makes a major contribution to the community. The prince is the patron of SkillForce, an education charity.
Prince William and his future wife then traveled to nearby Witton Country Park in Blackburn, where about 15,000 well-wishers greeted them. The couple watched several outdoor sporting events, and Middleton raised and dropped a flag to cue the start of a 100-meter race.
The visit wraps up a four-stop tour of the nation, Middleton could one day rule as queen after the couple's April 29 wedding.

While Flame and Gauss act as stealthy espionage malware, having already infected several thousand systems in the Middle East to gather information from their targets, researchers have discovered a new piece of malware that targets those already infected in a more precise way.
Analysts at Russia-based security firm Kaspersky Lab has detected MiniFlame, or SPE, an information-stealing backdoor that works independently, or as a module of Flame and Gauss, on about 50 to 60 machines.
The small number of victims is telling of the malware's design and purpose: to zero in on high-profile targets pinpointed in the Flame and Gauss campaigns.
MiniFlame's capabilities include capturing screenshots while victims run specific programs or applications – like Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader or instant messenger – or use USB drives to store data collected from infected machines, but which aren't connected to the internet.
The malware is able to communicate with its own unique command-and-control servers or with Flame's servers, according to Kaspersky. It is also likely that the malware is deployed during initial Flame and Gauss infection.
Roel Schouwenberg, senior researcher at Kaspersky Lab, told SCMagazine.com on Monday that MiniFlame gives attackers continued access to its targets.
"MiniFlame really serves as a backdoor," Schouwenberg said. "Meanwhile, Flame and Gauss were about data and information gathering. MiniFlame gives more direct access to a target machine."
With the discovery of MiniFlame in July, researchers have determined that the authors of Flame and Gauss, and those of other nation-state-sponsorsed weapons like Stuxnet and Duqu, are cooperating in their spy efforts.
Kaspersky published an anaylsis of Flame's command-and-control servers last month, where it discovered an in-the-wild Flame variant, now thought to be one of several MiniFlame strains infecting machines.

I have been Inspired by an array of both emotions and reality, I hope to allow my readers to enjoy this collection of fun and enchanting poems in my first ever published book.
(PRWEB) January 25, 2014
Meatric, a connoisseur of all things artistic, has completed his first book "Indulge in Me": a gripping and potent journey through the emotions and experience of a true renaissance man.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Meatric's poignant words transcend the physical plane and reside in a realm of pure creation melded from the intelligence and soul of a powerful writer.
Poetry is the language of love and few poets have captured this true nature of poetry as well as Meatric. "Indulge in Me" is a collection of poetry whose words come from the heart and delivers the message straight to your heart. Dealing with lust, passion, loss, desire, and adoration, "Indulge in Me" brings the reader along from the ride on the emotional roller coaster that only Meatric could create.
For the first time, Meatric's poetry is combined into one book where a reader can turn to seek companionship in their times of solitude, as well as hope in their times of need. "Indulge in Me" features poems that are so insightful, that readers will wonder whether or not Meatric has been a part of their love life.
Readers who wish to experience this mesmerizing work can purchase "Indulge in Me" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

If You Can't Take the
Follow the
From indirect calorimetry to wet bulb globe thermometers, the strategies safety pros use to protect workers from heat exposure would make the average person's eyes gloss over. Fortunately, we cater to average people on this blog.
So here's the message in plain language: Summer temperatures in Texas are unpleasant at best, fatal at worst.
People who make their living outdoors, as well as those who do physical work in warehouses and other hot indoor spaces, will be at risk of heat illness. Their employers need to take steps to protect them.
Fortunately, you don't need a PhD in thermodynamics to avoid heat illness. What you do need is a system for identifying the best ways to protect yourself this summer. Safety professionals call it the hierarchy of controls. The rest of us can call it an easy way to keep our cool with hot, humid weather descending on Texas.
Engineering controls
Engineering controls deliver the most effective protection against workplace hazards. Engineering controls eliminate the hazard at its source:
- Provide air conditioning and/or cooling fans.
- Increase ventilation; provide portable ventilation when possible.
- Install local exhaust ventilation, such as exhaust hoods in laundry rooms and other hot, moist workplaces.
- Redirect heat with reflective shields.
- Insulate hot surfaces, such as furnace walls.
Administrative controls
Administrative controls are the second-most effective way to control hazards. Administrative controls change the way employees do the work. The goal is to reduce exposure to the hazard:
- Promote water, rest and shade.
- Allow workers to acclimatize, or gradually get used to working in hot conditions.
- Modify work schedules to reduce employees' heat exposure.
- Teach workers to monitor themselves and their co-workers for signs of heat stress and to administer first aid when necessary.
- Conduct physiological monitoring of workers when necessary.
- Encourage workers to download OSHA's heat safety app.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
PPE is your least-effective control against workplace hazards because it carries risk. PPE could be damaged, and it could give the user a false sense of security. So PPE should always be your last line of defense against workplace hazards:
- Broad-brimmed hats with neck flaps
- Light-colored, breathable clothing
- Safety glasses with tinted, polarized lenses
- SPF 15-25 sun block
- Water-cooled garments, air-cooled garments, cooling vests and wetted over-garments
- Insulated gloves, insulated suits, reflective clothing and infrared reflecting face shields
- Thermally conditioned clothing, such as a garment with a self-contained air conditioner in a backpack
- A garment with a compressed air source that feeds cool air through a vortex tube
- A plastic jacket with pockets filled with dry ice or containers of ice
Heat claims landscaper's life
A 30-year old landscaper collapsed and died at the end of a day spent mowing lawns. Doctors recorded his body temperature at 107.6 degrees, compared with a normal temperature of 98.6 degrees.
The day of the incident, temperatures climbed no higher than 81 degrees. So how could the man's core temperature reach a fatal level on such a relatively mild day?
Further examination revealed the worker was taking a prescription medication that increased his risk of heat-related illness.
Some prescription medications affect your body's ability to stay hydrated and respond appropriately to heat. Similarly, some illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines, can increase your core temperature.
We encourage you to watch this 30-minute Texas Mutual webinar titled "Keep your cool this summer" for the rest of this case study in heat illness. Our experts will also define the most common varieties of heat illness and give you more tips for protecting your employees.
How hot does it feel?
When talk turns to heat safety, it's tempting to take our cues from the thermometer. But temperature only shows half the picture. The heat index, which combines temperature and humidity, is a more accurate reflection of the climate and how it will affect you.
|Heat Index
|Risk Level
|Protective Measures
|Less than 91 degrees Fahrenheit
|Lower caution
|Basic heat safety and planning
|91 to 103 degrees Fahrenheit
|Implement precautions and heighten awareness
|103 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit
|Additional precautions to protect workers
|Greater than 115 degrees Fahrenheit
|Very high to extreme
|Triggers even more aggressive protective measures
You don't need a PhD in thermo-dynamics to avoid heat illness

Our role: Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) for plans and programmes is a relatively new area of work stemming from the European Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) that was transposed into UK law by the 'Habitats Regulations' in July 2007. Ecosulis provided ecological support, alongside Aquatonics Ltd and John Knight Ecology, to the Appropriate Assessment (AA) stage of the HRA of the Wiltshire County Council and Swindon Borough Council Minerals and Waste Development Framework, which is being led by the consultancies Enfusion Ltd and the Center for Sustainability C4S/TRL.
The HRA process undertaken by Enfusion and C4S, involved scoping and screening work for twenty two internationally designated sites within and around the Wiltshire and Swindon administrative boundaries. Of the twenty two sites, thirteen covering SAC/SPA & Ramsar designations, were subject to more detailed AA in order to determine whether the Minerals and Waste Plans as proposed, would significantly effect their integrity. The results of the complete HRA, including recommendations for mitigation, will be published alongside the Plans Submission Reports in March 2008.

I don't know if it is bad luck or I am just suddenly accidental prone but in the last three days, I have gotten injuries on my middle finger on my left hand. The first injury was due to a paper cut that tore the skin off right under my nail and the other injury was from some scissors after I was cutting off a ziplock lol and then the first injury was made even worse when I got another paper cut on top of it. I do not know why this is happening right now, especially since the other day I was discussing getting my nail done with my sister. But now, my middle finger is hurting and could probably use some pampering. I haven't had any injuries for a long time apart from small scratches. I hope they heal really soon so I can start thinking what to do with my hands.
On the plus side, if someone asks about it (and I don't like them lol) I can shamelessly give them the middle finger!

Expressions of Interest Sought
Call for Expressions of Interest for UNESCO NZ Second Contestable Activity Funding Round, 2014/15 Financial Year
NOTE: The purpose of calling for Expressions of Interest is to enable those individuals and organisations which will be submitting an application for funding to receive immediate guidance from the Secretariat of the National Commission on the appropriateness of the proposed project for funding.
Submitting an Expression of Interest by the set date (9 January 2015) does NOT also stand as submitting a formal application, such applications follow a separate process and are due on February 9 2015.
The NZ National Commission for UNESCO is calling for Expressions of Interest for the second stage of its Contestable Activity Funding Round for the 2014/15 financial year.
Grants will be made of amounts between $5,000 and $25,000 (up to $40,000 for exceptional 'high level' projects, ie projects whose 'reach' throughout New Zealand will be considerable).
Projects must be completed by 30 June 2015 but should it be a 'high level' project, the National Commission will discuss whether it is possible to spread the project over a longer period.
The National Commission would particularly welcome Expressions of Interest for a 'high level' project which contributes to one of the following Strategic Priorities:
• Contribute to the development of New Zealand's high quality education system to encourage life-long education for all (to mark the end of Education for All goals in 2015)
• Promote intercultural dialogue and respect for cultural and linguistic diversity
Expressions of interest are also welcome for projects relevant to the any of the strategic priorities, the other four Strategic Priorities of the National Commission being:
• Engage New Zealand youth to be creative and innovative global citizens particularly in the context of sustainability and in the development of resilience
• Connect science, policy and people for a sustainable New Zealand and the Pacific
• Protect and promote our heritage, and foster creativity
• Promote freedom of expression and universal access to information and knowledge
