For some, a trip to the art museum means and experience filled with wonder and majesty. For others, it is the most boring way to spend a day, and that's the sentiment that one man expressed on a comment card of a London-area museum.
Reddit user mar480 posted an image of a comment card he found at the Tate Modern in London, which read, "My wife made me come here, and I'm not convinced this isn't a joke."
Other Reddit users chimed in with experiences of their own at art museums.
"When I was in the Saatchi Gallery a few months back, there was one exhibit which was literally just boxes and ladders laid out to look like it was an exhibit, which was waiting to be put together," Reddit user Gisschace wrote. "I am pretty sure the artist was taking the (expletive) with that one."
Another user said that the user should "frame the note, and boom, you got yourself another piece of modern art!"
Not all users were against the piece.
One man wrote that "some people would argue that since it provoked a reaction of emotion," -- even though negative -- "it must be good art."

For centuries, she's been smiling at us. Maybe thinking, 'you have no idea who I am'?
Mona Lisa. Well, researchers trying to identify the woman who modeled for Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting may have come across a critical clue. (Via Wikimedia Commons / Musee du Louvre)
Fox News reports researchers have started DNA tests on a skeleton found in a church in Florence, Italy.
What they're trying to do is link the skeleton to other recently discovered bones — bones believed to be belong to the model's descendants.
This is all based on the theory that the model for Mona Lisa was Lisa Gherardini, a noblewoman who lived near da Vinci. (Via euronews)

And as The Wall Street Journal reports, if the DNA tests are positive, if this skeleton is Gherardini, the researchers plan to make a computer-generated reconstruction of her face.
And that could solve an age-old mystery. Who is the woman behind the smile? The DNA results are expected by May or June. (Via Wikimedia Commons / Musee du Louvre)
Still, some speculate da Vinci could have used several models over a period of years for the painting. In which case — might need to get Dan Brown on the phone or something.

AJAX Login Modal Triggers
After installing the AJAX Login Modals Extension, you will be granted access to a number of different triggers you can use in conjunction with our login modals. In this doc, we're going to review each of these triggers, their settings, and features.
Click Open Trigger
The Click Open Trigger is a default trigger offered in the free version of Popup Maker. If you're not familiar with how to use the Click Open Trigger, check out our Click Trigger doc that explains the process of setting up your first click trigger.
Upon installing the AJAX Login Modals Extension, some additional targeting options will appear under the General tab of the Click Trigger Settings menu, as seen in the screenshot below (eg. Target Which WordPress Links?):
Popup Pro Tip: To easily add these links to your site, we recommend using the User Menus Plugin. You can even use AJAX Login Modals click triggers with User Menus Plugin to dynamically change your menus when users login or logout of your site!
Targeting WordPress Links
You can target specific WordPress links automatically to trigger your login modals. This means that if you check the Login box as pictured above, then every Login link on your site will automatically be targeted to trigger the Login popup without having to manually attach a trigger.
The standard WordPress Login Link is "www.yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php" - anywhere this link appears on your site will automatically be targeted to trigger a popup if you enable this targeting setting.
The standard WordPress Register Link is "www.yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php?action=register" - anywhere this link appears on your site will automatically be targeted to trigger a popup if you enable this targeting setting.
The standard WordPress Password Recovery Link is "www.yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword" - anywhere this link appears on your site will automatically be targeted to trigger a popup if you enable this targeting setting.
Force Login
After installation of the AJAX Login Modals, you'll have access to this trigger.
This trigger will automatically open your login popup when a user arrives on your whole site, or specified page(s)/post(s). The Forced Login Trigger forces users to login before they can proceed to the site content, therefore the close button will be disabled and removed.
Popup Pro Tip: You can force users to login on specific page(s)/post(s) using the Conditions Pane in the Popup Editor! Leaving your Conditions blank will force login on your entire site.
Popup Pro Tip #2: Want to keep your site and content secure at all times? Make sure your users are always logged out with Secure Idle User Logout.
Click Blocking
Upon installing the AJAX Login Modals Extension, this trigger will be added to your trigger list.
The Click Blocking Trigger functions the exact same way as our Click Open Trigger, including the five different methods to trigger the popup, the only difference is that when a user clicks the targeted element, they will be presented with a login popup, instead of a traditional popup.
Once logged in, the user will be forwarded to the action the link is attached to, whether a file download, hyperlink, etc.
Since the user has the option of logging in, registering, or recovering their password, or just closing the popup, the close button is not removed or disabled. The user won't be able to access whatever is behind the link, however, without logging in, respectively.
Popup Pro Tip: Make sure to set a cookie on Login/Registration Successful so your users aren't continuously spammed by your Click Blocking popup!

Cerner, a global leader in health care technology, today announced that it has been named to Forbes magazine's 2016 list of America's Best Employers. Cerner ranked No. 307 out of 500 companies. This is the second consecutive year Cerner was named to the list.
"It's an honor for Cerner to be recognized once again as a best employer in America," said Julie Wilson, executive vice president and chief people officer. "For more than 35 years, we've been committed to changing health care through innovative solutions. Our associates experience this vision firsthand, through things like our on-site clinics, focus on preventive health management and effectively managing the cost of care. This approach enables us to attract associates and build teams across Cerner with the best talent in our industry, in communities across the country and around the world."
The top employers comprising the list were chosen by Forbes based on an independent survey conducted by Statista.com. The survey included more than 20,000 American employees working for large U.S. companies and institutions, and U.S. divisions of international firms with at least 2,500 workers in the U.S. Respondents were asked anonymously through several online panels how likely they would be to recommend their employer, or any other employer in their industry, to a potential employee. The respondents mirrored the gender, age, region, educational level, and ethnicity of the overall U.S. workforce. More than 3,500 companies were represented in the survey, with Forbes creating a list of the top 500 firms for their April 2016 issue.
The complete America's Best Employers list can be found on the Forbes website.

So I know weekends usually only have 2 days in them really. BUT this was a long weekend. And we really didn't do too much on this super chilled long weekend so you could squish it all into 2 days if you like. *wink*
Guys, this was the first time in our travels that my planning, or lack thereof, backfired. It was devastating because I am like the queen of spreadsheets. Planning is my jam! I plan holidays in my head and on Pinterest knowing it will probably be years before I visit that place. I just like it. Research makes my heart happy.
Day three was quite a flop, so please don't expect any spectacular story (or photos). Sometimes travel doesn't happen the way you imagine it will, and that's ok, you just gotta make the best of a crappy situation.
We woke up nice and early because we planned to go to Versailles for the day. After a quick check of their website for opening times we learned that the Palace wasn't open on Mondays and because of the miserable weather, the gardens were closed for the day too. Flipping hell man! Shoulda planned ahead!
Tip: Plan ahead for things that you really want to see, check museum/palace/monument opening times online before you go. Often you can buy a city pass that will give you entry to more than one museum/attraction for a cheaper price than paying separately at each museum/attraction you go to. BUT if things don't go as planned, don't let it ruin your trip, make the most of your limited time in the place you are visiting.
So we lay in for a bit trying to figure out what we wanted to do, we didn't want to be out in the rain too much so decided to skip the Louvre, and Notredame because #beentheredonethat and decided to just see where the day took us.
When the growls in our tummies got too loud we decided to set off in search of some breakfast. It was like a ghost town, the streets were quiet with everyone huddled inside tiny cafes hiding away from the rain.
A lot of the cafes we passed were either closed or filled to the maximum, we even considered sitting outside under cover at one cafe that looked particularly good but decided against it – it was too cold out. Eventually, we found a not-too-crowded Le Pain Quotidien and settled in for very late breakfast platters and some coffee.
The breakfast was mildly disappointing and very bready with nothing exciting going on, the orange juice was from concentrate and the only real highlights were the yoghurt and fruit parfait and the Pain au Chocolat. It had nothing on day two's breakfast.
We made our way into Paris, starting at the Eiffel Tower, we had to go say goodbye as it was our last day in the city. The weather was horrible so we spent the day going in and out of shops and cafes as we made our way along the Seine, ducking for cover as the rain came down in torrents.
We decided to stop off at Angelina's, a beautiful Belle Époque style tea room, for one of their famous hot chocolates to warm us up. Walking in there felt like stepping into another world, a world of delicate details, curtsies, classy white hand gloves worn by ladies with fancy little hats and all things beautiful and decadent. Photo's don't do this place justice.
Tip: If you are going for breakfast or lunch, book online ahead of the time to avoid having to wait in the queue, it can get pretty long.
Now, there weren't any ladies wearing white hand gloves or fancy little hats, at least not that I saw. BUT, rewind 100 years or so, and I'm sure that's exactly what you would have found. After all, it was frequented by the likes of Coco Chanel back then. *sighs wistfully*
We stared at the menu for a good 15 minutes before deciding to have a hot chocolate each and share a pastry.
Damn! That hot chocolate! Before I tell you about how good it was, I'll tell you what they think makes it so special…"The traditional and famous "African" hot chocolate is composed of three carefully selected varieties of African cocoa from Niger, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. The combination of these different types of chocolate from different lands confers its exceptional taste and distinctive character upon Angelina's hot chocolate." That is directly from Angelina's website.
Now I'll tell you what I think made it so special…your drink arrives in a hot little jug with cream on the side! No calorie counting allowed here – shut that inner skinny cow up and just drink your damn melted chocolate and ENJOY IT! So, you pour this thick, rich, velvety, hot chocolate into your cup and then you stir in a (big) dollop of cream to break the sweetness a little and then you sip it and savour it, and while you're enjoying this decadent cup of heaven, you watch all the people, and check out all the food flowing from the kitchen and maybe do a little gossiping in your own secret language.
We spent over an hour at Angelina's, the queue to get in moved quite quickly and we took our time enjoying our hot chocolate and a delicious pastry to share. We left reluctantly to fetch our bags, agreeing that we didn't want another sweet for at least a week, but still eyeing all the goodies on display in the counter and shop on the way out.
It seems that we can't go to London from Paris on the Eurostar without being delayed, it's kind of like a tradition for us now I guess. We were delayed for 2 hours in the station due to a suspected bomb on the platform. So it was a KFC for dinner kind of night while we waited to hear if we would have to find a room for the night like we had had to on the previous trip. Luckily it was nothing and we were back in London before midnight.
Luckily it was just a scare and nothing bad went down and we were back in London before midnight.
Tip: Pack snacks for your travels. On our first delay from Paris for we got delayed for hours whilst on the train and we couldn't get off, the dining cart sold out of stock pretty quickly and the train staff ended up handing out the last box of individual twix bars and bottles of water to the passengers.
Perhaps we will meet again Paris, on an overnight to Disneyland in the summer, or maybe some far-flung roadtrip to the South of France? Who knows…I think flying south would be way easier though, I guess I'll just need to find someone to go with me to Disney! Any takers?? Riaan is not keen *sad face*
You can read about days one and two here and here.
Until next time,

Houston Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Motorcycles offer riders a unique and thrilling experience at the expense that substantial injuries and sometimes even fatalities can result when motorcycles are involved in accidents. When motorcycle accidents occur, is often essential to retain the services of legal counsel who can make sure that adequate compensation and the best potential outcome is reached.

Because motorcycles do not include the amount of protection as motor vehicles, there is an increased risk that motorcycle accidents will result in substantial injuries. Individuals who are involved in motorcycle accidents can face a variety of injuries due to motorcycle accidents, which include the following:
- Back Injuries. When an individual's back significantly impacts any part of a motorcycle accident, there are a range of injuries that can occur.

- Leg Injuries. Motorcycle accidents frequently result in injuries to a rider's legs and hips. These injuries can result in substantial obstacles in dealing with one's life. Some of the most common leg injuries are hip locations, tibia fractures, and pelvic fractures.
Steps To Avoid Motorcycle Accident
There are some ways that an individual can decrease the chances of a motorcycle accident occurring, which include the following;
- Carefully observe alcohol consumption. Motorcycle accidents due to alcohol use are a substantial problem and motorcyclists are strongly urge to not operate motorcycles while under the effects of alcohol.
- Do not allow other riders to ride unless the motorcyclist is especially skilled at operating a vehicle in adverse weather conditions.
- Double check that the motorcyclist's license is readily apparent. This piece of advice remains relevant regardless of where a motorcyclist may travel.
- Follow all posted rules concerning motorcycle usage, which includes maintaining adequate speed and avoiding potentially catastrophic accidents.
- Make sure to wear adequate safety guards which include a helmet and proper face guards. Also make sure than any passengers wear a helmet and adequate protective gear. These measures increase visibility.
- Obverse potential hazards in the road that can result in motorcycle accidents including cracks and holes that can cause motorcyclists to lose control.
Liability for Motorcycle Accidents
There are a number of parties that can potentially be held liable after a motorcycle accident. These parties include potential employers and manufacturers who might have defectively designed motorcycles. As a result, motorcyclists who are involved in accidents must understand that that there might be multiple parties involved in an accident.

Windows file servers contain critical information that requires protection. That's why file server auditing is imperative for any organization. By auditing all file and folder-related events, you can ensure file server security while meeting compliance requirements.
While native auditing can provide information regarding who accessed what, when, and from where, sifting through volumes of event logs is cumbersome. Circumvent this time-consuming process with the use of a real-time Windows file server auditing tool like DataSecurity Plus.
You can also utilize the following features:
Analyze files and disk space
Actively respond to security breaches
|The File Analysis report helps isolate files that are old, unused, unmodified, large, hidden, or non-business; making data cleanup easier. The Disk Analysis report provides visual insight into disk space usage and trends, facilitating optimization of disk space; it also reveals properties of files and folders.
|The Disk Analysis report provides graphical insight into disk space usage and history, facilitating optimization of invaluable disk space across file servers.
Audit access rights
Meet PCI DSS, SOX, FISMA, and other regulatory needs
|Examine share and security permissions of files and folders and prevent access exploitation.
|Comply with regulatory mandates through consistent auditing and reporting of the file server environment.
Minimize incident response times
|Become proactive with real-time file and folder access and change auditing. Continuously monitor and get notified about critical activities.

Speaker: Professor Iain Stewart, School of Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Plymouth.
The exploration and extraction of UK shale gas is being touted by our politicians as a potential energy game changer and yet the prospect of its development here has met with widespread public concern and intense community hostility. Whether it be the central plains of Midlothian and the Scottish Borders, the upland spine of northern England, or the leafy commuter hinterland of London, a new energy frontier lurks beneath our feet. But is it a resource that we can or should exploit?
Speaker: Professor Sanjeev Gupta, Professor of Earth Science, Imperial College London
Read the summary report of Professor Gupta's lecture on Further Adventures of the Curiosity Rover in Gale Crater, Mars
NASA's Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, touched down on the surface of Mars on August 5, 2012 in one of the most audacious planetary landings ever. This car-sized rover has been successfully exploring Gale crater since then. Built to conduct an investigation of modern and ancient environments on the surface of Mars, this talk will describe the rover's explorations and adventures, and discuss the latest findings.
The aim of the mission is to search for evidence of ancient habitable environments as preserved in sedimentary rock formations on the surface of Mars. Extraordinary rock outcrops imaged by the rover provide a rich environmental history of early Mars. The talk not only outlined some of the exciting new evidence Curiosity has gathered on its journey, but also explained how scientsts and engineers make it all happen.
The Cormack Bequest meeting has been a long-standing annual RSE event for the Scottish Astronomy community to gather and share, via talks and posters, some of the very wide range of astronomy research being conducted in Scotland. Each year, there is an invited talk on a hot astronomy topic.

Jan Jenkins| LegacyofCourage.com
Jan and I met at a Christian Women in Media conference and immediately hit it off. We started working together when she needed a few print items for an upcoming keynote she was delivering. Soon after we started to work on her website. Her old site was difficult to navigate and her message was not clearly communicated. To keep costs low, Jan and I picked a new template that better represented her. Jan sent me the content changes and I implemented them. Check out her new site below...
Stephanie Hofhenke is the real deal! Working with her is like meeting a new friend who deeply cares about your success. How does she do it? Stephanie listens to who you are and what you want, communicates clearly, and tells you the truth, while demonstrating responsiveness and flexibility. You can trust her expertise and know that she will always have your best interests at heart. Stephanie is kind, gracious, and one of the most authentic people I've ever met. Developing/designing/managing a web site takes competence and character. With Stephanie Hofhenke, you get the whole package. As long as I have a web site, I'll be working with Stephanie as my trusted partner.

Beck's Hybrids is the largest family-owned retail seed company in the U.S., with over 460 employees. Based in rural central Indiana, Beck's presently has ten locations in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Iowa.
In 2008, Beck's Hybrids was poised for rapid growth into neighboring states, and they needed to substantially to upgrade their headquarters' telecommunications and internet capacity to keep pace.
Beck's headquarters occupies the Beck family's original homestead, in a relatively remote agricultural area. Because the area is home to few (if any) other target businesses, the largest telecommunications providers have invested very little in establishing or developing infrastructure nearby. Brad Fruth, Manager of Information Services for Beck's Hybrids, recalls, "We were struggling to find good bandwidth in our location. The big problem is that the big Telcos don't want to invest in these rural areas. Even when you have a company that's growing, there are no advanced services in most of these areas. You know you're in trouble when you've maxed out every bit of copper between your headquarters and your Telco's central office and they're telling you, 'We can't provide you any more services.' Reliability was a huge problem—and cost was through the roof. We were paying ridiculous money."
Because IFN's fiber optic system runs throughout Indiana and IFN is locally based, we were a natural fit for Beck's Hybrids' needs. We were able to tie Beck's into IFN's broadband infrastructure very quickly—in just a few months. Over the past six years, Beck's and IFN have partnered to keep the expansion of Beck's communications capabilities on pace with their highly aggressive growth strategy.
Of course, one of the keys to IFN's success in developing a system for Beck's has been our ability to be flexible in accommodating their budget requirements. Again from Mr. Fruth: "One of the other reasons it's been great to work with IFN as a local independent fiber company is that we've been able to do some creative financing with them. They were able to work with us on a five–year financing program, and that's what made the deal even more attractive. There is a lot of transparency with them, and that was a big factor. IFN allowed us to spread the initial construction costs over the original term, and then once we had it paid off, we still saw a huge decrease in our bill. From a business standpoint, it was easy for us to sell the program to management because there was an immediate economic impact for our company."
A major part of Beck's growth strategy from the outset was the expansion of their physical presence into neighboring states, in areas that are every bit as rural as their Indiana headquarters. IFN was able to add considerable value to our relationship with Beck's by cooperating with our broad partner network. "We originally started with just a single circuit with IFN, but we've had this crazy growth over the last couple years," Mr. Fruth says, "and we've expanded our services with IFN greatly. So one of the other things that's extremely attractive is that we can use IFN as an agent to leverage their partners with INDATEL. We've been able to leverage their power to help us expand so we still get to deal with IFN, with the same people, on the same contract, even though the last leg of those circuits in Iowa, Ohio and other sites is delivered by one of their partners. That has opened a whole new opportunity for us that we're still able to get the same services that we know and love and yet we have that regional reach."
"It make things incredibly simple when we can just call IFN and say, I need to go to this address in Iowa, and they say, okay, we can get there through, say, Chicago, and we say, okay, I need it on the same cross–connect, and BOOM, we're up and going."
Beck's Hybrids now has a physical and market presence in four additional states—with plans to continue its growth. All of their locations are connected by a reliable high–speed voice and data system, supported by IFN's fiber network and partner network.
Brad Fruth summarizes: "IFN allows us to be very scalable in the services we can provide, and they are flexible to our business needs. IFN is a trusted partner of Beck's Hybrids. I know they're looking out for me and I know they're going to do what's in our best interest. There's huge value in that. IFN's local ownership and local control is huge for us—knowing that decisions aren't being made in a corporate boardroom a thousand miles away, that they're not just looking at the balance sheet to make decisions. I know when we go to IFN with something we want to do; they may say, that's not a good fit for you. When they're willing to leave money on the table to do what's right for us, you know they're looking out for us. There's a true relationship of trust there."
"We've been extremely happy with IFN. In this industry, you tend to get what you pay for, so there is more value in the people and in knowing how you do business, and of course being like–minded. With IFN, you know what you're going to get."

What is Virgin Galactic, how much will it cost to fly to space and when will Richard Branson's venture launch?
Billionaire Sir Richard Branson is hoping to offer space tourism from 2018
THEY say the sky is the limit, but that may not be the case for Virgin Galactic which has recently got one step closer in its quest to offering space tourism.
The brainchild of billionaire tycoon Sir Richard Branson is eagerly awaited by those keen for a tourist trip into space - but what exactly is involved and when will it be open to the public?
What is Virgin Galactic?
Intrepid explorers could soon be able to travel into space with Virgin Galactic – and the incredible opportunity may happen sooner than you think.
If all goes to plan, space fans will be launched more than 50 miles above Earth, a point which NASA define travellers as astronauts.
Passengers will ride aboard SpaceShipTwo, a spaceplane designed to carry six passengers and two pilots.
It is carried aloft by a large areoplane before breaking away and zooming to an altitude of about 62 miles (100 kilometres).
Last year, Professor Stephen Hawking unveiled Virgin Galactic's second SpaceShipTwo craft, called VSS Unity, after the first SpaceShipTwo craft VSS Enterprise crashed during tests in 2014.
In May 2017, it was announced that a new "feathering" test, where the twin tails of the craft fold up to providing aerodynamic braking, has been successful.
It was hailed as a key step in getting the project off the ground.
Virgin Galactic is currently up against fierce competition in the private space race from firms such as Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX.
How much will it cost to fly to space?
With a hefty price tag of $250,000 (£175,000) a ticket, the opportunity will be targeted at celebrities and wealthy thrillseekers, as well as researchers.
And there are already a whole host of 700 celebrities and scientists desperate to get a chance to try the spacecraft - including Hollywood A-listers Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Space scientist Stephen Hawking, 75, said the Virgin boss had offered him a seat.
When will Richard Branson's Spaceline launch?
Despite the idea proving popular with space lovers, the concept has proved to a tricky business to get off the ground.
Virgin Galactic has been predicted by business mogul Branson to be up and running before the end of 2018.
In early October, Branson hinted that the venture remains on track, revealing that he hopes to be in space in half a year.
Speaking at the Nordic Business Forum in Finland, he said: "We are hopefully about three months before we are in space, maybe six months before I'm in space."
He initially predicted the maiden space flight would happen by 2009, but the date has been repeatedly pushed back after technical problems.
2004: Branson founds Virgin Galactic and says the first launch will take place in 2007
2007: Testing of SpaceShipTwo but three workers die in an explosion during the event. The $250m spaceport, Spaceport America is agreed to be built in New Mexico
2008: Sir Richard says the first voyage will take place within 18 months
2009: Sir Richard says that flights will take place from Spaceport America within two years
2010: Virgin Galactic hire Nasa's chief of staff, George Whitesides, as its new chief executive
2014: Sir Richard predicts the first commercial flight will take place in early 2015. A fatal accident occurs during a test launch of SpaceShipTwo
2016: Test flights of SpaceShipTwo continue

Senator Johnson Introduces Legislation to Ban Local Hire RequirementsSeptember 14, 2015
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Darlene Schlicher (615) 741-6336
September 14, 2015
NASHVILLE – State Senator Jack Johnson (R-Franklin) filed legislation today to stop local governments from enacting any charter provision, ordinance, resolution, referendum or regulation which requires a company bidding on a public construction project to employ individuals that reside within their jurisdiction. The legislation comes after the adoption of a charter amendment pushed by labor unions in Nashville that requires at least 40 percent of work hours of local companies bidding on contracts come from Davidson County workers on Metro construction projects that cost $100,000 or more. The amendment does not affect companies outside of Tennessee which can hire as many out-of-county or out-of-state workers as they choose.
"This constitutionally suspect amendment, which discriminates against local businesses, is misguided," said Senator Johnson. "It will result in increased costs to taxpayers in a wide variety of ways, including less competition for contracts, delayed construction projects, and greater administrative costs to implement the regulatory guidelines of the amendment. But most of all, it has a chilling effect on the economic growth and development of this area and Tennessee as a whole."
The practical effect of Johnson's bill would be to nullify the Metro Nashville amendment. It would also prevent other local governments from taking similar action in the future.
"More than half of workers in Middle Tennessee reside in another county," added Johnson. "This amendment discriminates against thousands of workers who commute short distances from adjoining counties."
The General Assembly will return to Nashville on January 12. The bill is expected to be considered early in the legislative session.

Governor Haslam presents budget proposal focusing on education and jobs for TennesseansFebruary 13, 2015
Education and jobs were the focus on Capitol Hill this week as Governor Bill Haslam unveiled his proposal to fund state government for the 2015-2016 fiscal year in his annual State of the State Address. The $33.3 billion balanced budget makes strategic investments in education and workforce development, while continuing a thoughtful approach to making government work more efficiently and effectively.
During the speech, Haslam said nearly 225,000 new private sector jobs have been created in Tennessee since 2011. Over the past several years, the General Assembly has made great strides in preparing students for the 21st century marketplace and in creating a business-friendly climate which draws new and better paying jobs to our state. These efforts include passage of a number of job creation initiatives such as tort reform, unemployment reform and workers' compensation reform.
The governor also announced that out of the 65,000 high school seniors, 58,000 have signed up for Tennessee Promise, the scholarship program which provides last dollar tuition assistance to fill unmet financial needs so students may attend community college or a college of applied technology free of charge. The General Assembly worked with the governor in passing the scholarship program last Spring. Tennessee Promise is part of the state's efforts to ensure a strong workforce by filling the skills gap to bring technologically advanced industries to the state. It is also part of the Drive to 55 initiative that aims to raise the percentage of Tennesseans with a certificate or degree beyond high school from 32 to 55 by the year 2025.
On K-12 education, Governor Haslam heralded the state's recent academic achievement gains. State students had the largest academic growth on the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in the nation, making Tennessee the fastest improving state in the nation. He also noted that Tennessee "is one of the few states in the country to make significant investments" in funding education improvements. State spending on K-12 education over the past four years increased at a rate more than double the national average. The proposed budget includes nearly $44 million in new money to account for growth in the Basic Education Program, $100 million for increasing teacher salaries and $5 million to create the Educators' Liability Trust fund to offer liability insurance to teachers at no cost.
Other highlights of the governor's proposed budget include:
- $260 million for capital projects, including new science facilities at Jackson State Community College and the University of Tennessee, nearly $25 million for improvements to colleges of applied technology across the state and funding for a fine arts classroom building at East Tennessee State University;
- $25 million to fully fund the Complete College Act formula;
- $10 million for need-based scholarships for students;
- $2.5 million for statewide outreach efforts geared toward adult students, technical assistance to local communities that are finding ways to support adult learners, and a one-stop portal for adults;
- $2.5 million to support the success of the SAILS (Seamless Alignment and Integrated Learning Support) program which address remediation in high school;
- $1.5 million to provide last dollar scholarships to adults with some post-secondary credit to attend community college;
- $1 million to establish competitive grants to 2-year and 4-year institutions to develop initiatives specifically designed for veterans;
- $48 million for state employee pay raises and compensation tied to performance and ongoing market adjustments
- $4.7 to fund group health insurance cost increases for state employees and $2.5 million to fund their 401 K match plan; and
- $41.3 million to complete the phase out of Tennessee's inheritance tax which is set to expire in 2016
The budget reflects $300 million in revenue growth, $500 million in cost increases and $200 million in reductions. Unlike Washington, Tennessee requires a balanced budget so any increase in spending in excess of available revenues must be off-set with reductions.
Tennessee has the lowest debt per capita of any state and is among the lowest tax rates. Haslam said that the state will spend $13 million less this year on interest than the previous as a result of reducing the amount of debt. At the same time, the proposed budget would add $36.5 million to the state's Rainy Day Fund to bring the total to $528 million, the highest level since 2008. The Rainy Day Fund acts as the state's savings account in case of an emergency and helps ensure the state's financial stability with credit rating agencies.
Tennessee's sound financial practices have earned the state top-notch credit ratings with Wall Street rating agencies. This credit rating helps determine how much interest state and local governments must pay when they borrow money to fund projects such as new schools and roads.
General Assembly wraps up Special SessionFebruary 6, 2015
The first Extraordinary Session of the 109th General Assembly adjourned on Wednesday after three days of legislative deliberations on Governor Bill Haslam's Insure Tennessee proposal. The action to adjourn came after the Senate Health and Welfare Committee voted 7 to 4 against giving the Governor authorization to enter into a contract with the federal government to expand the number of Tennesseans eligible for Medicaid or healthcare benefits which are available under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
Senate Joint Resolution 7001 would have given the Governor authority to implement TennCare Demonstration Amendment #25, which is a waiver amendment request to provide services to "newly eligibles" between the ages of 19 and 64 with family incomes that do not exceed 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Legislative authorization on the Insure Tennessee proposal was required under a law passed by the General Assembly last year.
The Legislature's Fiscal Review Committee, which is responsible for analyzing the cost of all legislation with a financial effect on state government, released an analysis on Tuesday showing the Insure Tennessee proposal would increase state spending by $7.8 million in the 2015-16 budget year, $43.6 million in the 2016-17 budget year and $46.2 million in the 2017-18 budget year. It also showed it would increase federal expenditures by $675.3 million in 2015-16, $1.4 billion in 2016-17 and $739 million in the 2017-18. Although the federal government would fund the vast majority of the program, concerns were expressed about the impact the proposal would have on the national debt which now stands at $18 trillion.
Other key concerns expressed by state senators opposing the plan included the absence of a final legal agreement that would bind the Obama administration to provisions in which federal representatives had verbally agreed to in their talks with Governor Haslam's administration in preparation of the waiver. Of particular concern was the ability of Tennessee to opt out of the program without legal repercussions or loss of federal funding.
In 2005, state lawmakers worked to rein in the escalating cost of TennCare to the state budget from 33 percent to 25 percent due to its negative impact on other critical areas which need funding like education and public safety. There were, however, legal hurdles to that disenrollment. That cost is now back up to 33 percent due to mandates from Washington.
In the 1979-1980 budget the total cost of TennCare was $116 million. The state now puts in more than that amount on an annual basis in just the increased costs, which has averaged $187 million per year over the past four years.
Another key concern for committee members voting against the plan was the number of enrollees projected to be eligible for Insure Tennessee. The original projection in December of 200,000 enrollees has been increased by 20 percent to 280,000. The Bureau of TennCare has stated enrollment is estimated to be 307,600 by the 2017-18 budget year, with other healthcare experts anticipating that population could be as much as 400,000.
In addition, while initially intrigued by some of the free-market aspects of the governor's plan, many Senators expressed concern that providers would have little incentive to enforce the co-pays in the Volunteer Plan. This would effectively eliminate a key-cost saving measure cited by proponents of the plan.
This year's Extraordinary Session was the 58th special session in the history of the state. The most recent Extraordinary Session prior to this year was in January 2010, and focused on education.
General Assembly to Reconvene Regular 2015 Legislative Session on Monday as Governor Prepares to Deliver Budget AddressFebruary 6, 2015
Now that the Special Session is complete, the General Assembly will reconvene the regular session on Monday evening, when lawmakers will gather to hear Governor Bill Haslam's fifth annual budget address. Rising healthcare costs to the TennCare program combined with inflationary growth for the state's Basic Education Program have compounded the state's budget problems during the slow economic recovery. These two items will consume the vast majority of new revenue growth, leaving little discretionary money for improvements for other important state government needs unless other cuts are made. This will make passage of a conservative balanced budget that prioritizes education, job creation, and public safety challenging in 2015.
The State Funding Board met in December to reevaluate Tennessee's economic condition and set a new growth rate of 2.6 to 3 percent upon which the 2015-16 budget year will be based. This compares to an estimated growth rate of 3.85 to 4.2 percent last year and equates to approximately $300 million in new revenues.
Citizens can view the Governor's budget address at 6:00 p.m. CST through the General Assembly's live video stream at http://www.capitol.tn.gov/. A more detailed budget presentation will take place on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. CST in the Senate Finance, Ways and Means Committee. Viewers can watch that presentation at the same website.
In the meantime, legislation is still being filed for consideration during the regular session. As of noon Thursday, 403 bills have been filed in the Senate and 419 bills have been filed in the House of Representatives. The deadline for filing all general bills for consideration is Thursday, February 12 for both houses. Senate Committees are scheduled to hear several important bills next week, as well as presentations on a number of other important state government matters. This includes a Senate Commerce and Labor Committee hearing on potential forthcoming legislation to authorize municipal electric systems and other governmental utility authorities to provide broadband services.
Brooking Report Heralds Tennessee's New Labor Education Alignment ProgramFebruary 6, 2015
Tennessee's new Labor Education Alignment Program (LEAP) has been heralded as a model for other states to follow, according to a new report released on Tuesday by the Brookings Institute, a private nonprofit organization devoted to independent research and innovative policy solutions. The competitive grant program provides for cooperative efforts between government, education and businesses to fill the skills gaps in the local workforce pool, while increasing the number of Tennesseans with post-secondary degrees. It allows students at Tennessee's technology centers and colleges the opportunity to combine occupational training in a high-skill or high-technology industry with academic credit and to apply that experience toward a degree.
The report, America's Advanced Industries: What they are, Where they are and Why they Matter, praises LEAP, along with the state's Tennessee Promise and Tennessee Reconnect programs. Tennessee Promise provides two years of free attendance for high school graduates at a state community college or college of applied technology (TCATs), while Tennessee Reconnect provides tuition-free certificate training at the state's TCATs. The three programs bolster the state's Complete College Tennessee Act and "Drive to 55" initiative with the common goal of raising the percentage of Tennesseans with post-secondary degrees from 32 to 55 percent by 2025.
"States should facilitate and support 'bottom-up' efforts to align labor with demand regionally through the workforce development and skills education system," the report said. "Only through robust partnerships and open channels of communication can the public sector hope to respond to the rapidly changing needs of local advanced industry employers."
Experts maintain that within the next five years, over half of all jobs in Tennessee will require postsecondary credentials beyond a high school degree.
Taskforce Set To Examine Tennessee Sentencing Structure, Recidivism RateFebruary 6, 2015
A task force formed by Governor Bill Haslam meets Thursday in Nashville to continue studying the state's sentencing structure and examine ways to reduce Tennessee's high recidivism rate, or the number of people returning to prison within three years of being released. The goal of the task force is to develop recommendations for the Governor and his cabinet in an effort to improve state corrections laws.
The current sentencing structure in Tennessee has been in place for more than 20 years, with the recidivism rate averaging approximately 45 percent. After the meeting, the task force is expected to release its findings to Governor Bill Haslam by June. At that point, the Governor will make his own recommendations to various state departments and offer changes to state law to the legislature for approval.
Last week, the Council of State Governments (CSG) released a Texas study which showed that juveniles under community-based supervision are far less likely to reoffend than those incarcerated in state correctional facilities.
The study is expected to have significant implications on the operations of state juvenile justice systems across the country, including Tennessee, which experienced the fourth-largest decrease (more than 70 percent) in its incarcerated youth population in its state correctional facilities between 1997 and 2011. Tennessee's Department of Children's Services Juvenile Justice Division is already working with the CSG Justice Center to pilot recommendations to improve its data collection.
Earlier this year, Tennessee joined Utah, Pennsylvania, Nebraska and Kansas to test recommendations set forth by two CSG studies which detail what state and local governments can do to improve outcomes for youth in their juvenile justice system. The grant will help the states improve their methods for collecting and analyzing recidivism data and will serve as a model juvenile justice system for other states to emulate.
Sen. Jack Johnson reappointed Chairman of Senate Commerce and Labor CommitteeJanuary 20, 2015
(NASHVILLE, TN), – State Senator Jack Johnson (R-Franklin) has been reappointed Chairman of the Senate Commerce and Labor. The announcement was made by Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey as the General Assembly wrapped up a week of organization duties.
The Commerce Committee has jurisdiction over legislation concerning banking and lending institutions; communications; regulation and licensing of occupations; protections of trade and commerce; corporations; labor and industrial relations; consumer affairs and consumer protection; and unemployment compensation. Due to the scope of legislation considered there, it is considered one of the most powerful committees in the General Assembly.
"I am very honored to have been selected again as Chairman of the Senate Commerce committee," said Senator Johnson. "It is important that Tennessee has a pro-business climate that is attractive for bringing new jobs to the state. I look forward to the challenges we face in a very competitive environment."
Senator Johnson was also appointed to the Senate State and Local Government Committee. The State and Local Government Committee is responsible for all general matters pertaining to state and local government and its entities, as well as election laws.
Now that the organization is completed, the General Assembly has adjourned until February 2, when an extraordinary session of the 109th General Assembly called by the Governor is scheduled to begin.
Redesign of General Assembly's State Website Provides Greater Transparency of Legislative ProcessJanuary 20, 2015
As the 2015 legislative session opens, citizens can access more information about the issues and proceedings through a redesigned and improved General Assembly website. The redesign represents a substantial effort to make the website more usable, accessible and informative.
The new format supports all major mobile devices for streaming video, as the site will shrink, bend or move to adapt to the screen size. This improvement provides desktop content to users with smaller screens such as iPhones, iPads and Android devices.
In addition, a new content sensitive search engine makes it easier for users to navigate the site. Other improvements include a new web design feature which lets the general public set up an unlimited number of lists in the "my bills" application. This allows users to keep up with the latest developments on issues of importance to them. Action history flags highlight which chamber took action to make it easier to track bills through the legislative process.
The main page features the current schedule of meetings, giving citizens easy access to live video streaming of meetings. The website also provides access to previous meetings which are archived on the site.
The General Assembly has received awards and national recognition for their website, including the Online Democracy Award and the Digital Governance Award.
In addition, Tennessee's public broadcasting stations (PBS) will continue live and tape-delayed broadcasts of legislative meetings. Citizens can check with their local public television station for the weekly schedule of legislative coverage.

Internet Training and its Protocols
With the current advancements in technology, it is no doubt the future of higher education lies with online learning. Jobs and family reliance commit college and university students with schedules away from their normal tasks. However, with an alternative option in online studying, it is easier to meet all demands according to priorities, and without compromising other duties. In recent years, it is estimated that, 18 million online colleges and universities have been registered to meet the escalating demand in online learning.
In the present job market, internet jobs provide a lifetime opportunity where employees remain in their competitive ability without requiring time off. On the other hand, not all students are capable of studying online; self-evaluation is the most important element before enrolling for online programs. Some questions recruiting students are required to ask themselves are their capabilities to learn by themselves; their interest in computing; their level of acquiring and integrating information; and their devotion to not less than ten hours in seven days.
Many learners think studying via the internet is easy. In comparison to normal studying, there are more assignments and reading materials with an aim to engage students. Use of software with virtual programs as blackboards requires commitment in order to reach fellow students and instructors. The software program is capable of integrating the social media seamlessly. Therefore, online learners are equipped with skills to make use of platforms such as podcasts, blogs, discussion boards, podcasts, and tweets that are related to the course. Below is an example how online studying works.
Study: My Understanding of Careers
How online courses work
Study: My Understanding of Careers
Online studying involves the same procedures as traditional learning. What differs is that, internet learning's tasks are given via the internet. Additionally, instructors have more control over the students though the learners choose learning schedules during the enrollment procedures. Such instances will be like this:
The tutor first opens their internet course list where new applicants are required to fill in their details. The trainer then issues the learners with a given amount of classes to cover for the full course and will be available every week. To add on this, the lecturer meets with the students live just in case students have questions. Educational internet platforms that can supports comments such as Facebook groups, and quiz platforms enhance the learning procedures. The communication between learners and their lecturers is a key element improving learning.
There is always people with negative attitude towards change and are reluctant to look forward to online learning as fruitful. The harsh reality in today's world is that, studying via the internet saves money and time that would otherwise be used in traditional schools.…

Actually, an iPad mini would fit quite well into my life.
Case Study: Bed, lying down. My iPhone 5 is a tad small and tall for Comixology (currently entombing Terry Moore's Echo). Reading in bed —lying down— the iPad 2 is a bit unwieldy and the MacBook, while it is by no means a scorching hot, nor does it sound like a cheap and nasty leaf blower coughing up a reeking oily lung; it does get heavy. I would worry about dropping it on myself as I fall asleep, or worse; it sliding off my corporeal lassitude, over a teflonic cotton sea, and Baam! Onto the floor. Hurruck, churns a great few empathic readers' stomachs.
It is hard to subscribe rigidly to only one philosophy when you read into ontology, epistemology, axiology and consider the different stances and branches you can grip. Stepping outside your comfort zone and the seemingly frictionless network of deeply carved, raw and tender pathways in your mind.
Instead, give these bleeding, searing trails a rest. Let healing take place from a remove. Enlarging the horizon of possible, allowable thoughts from new and alien perspectives is uncomfortable. You hate something because you cannot access it in your mind, and you cannot make the journey to reconcile this. You have no capacity to even release that there exists another way. Or do you? Screeching in.
Scar tissue forms when tender roots are spreading beyond a link to the past. Tender roots are fragile. Nurtured by a thirst for knowledge, an open-minded curiosity towards appraising many approaches, and the will to suffer the fresh pain of living in these roots as they die or thrive in the battle against the concrete that is our own stubborn preconceptions and limitations; breaking through a new plane to breed seeds of hope. Pollinating, only then, gnarled trees of hard-won experiences; together, not alone. Vulnerable still to diseases and abuses from proximal beings and poisonous feedings.
Now I think about it again. An iPhone is just dandy dander. Compressed like carbon in the fabrication of artificial diamonds. No, that's not right. Dander with a latent film of smug yuppie pore excreta, smearing and swirling invisible, till the lights go down.
But in fact, I wrote and edited (thirty/seventy split) all this while lying in bed, tapping my thumbs onto a foil of glass, the busiest section four postage stamps wide, two tall, and promising to realise all dreams, with so much potential, until next year's new model steals eyeballs and bile again.


text: I got the ps3 update loop of death yesterday (where the update stops at 99% installation and then tries to update every time it turns on). However, I have managed to get it to the point where it can updating using a usb instead. But whenever it finishes preparing to update it shows the new update 4.70 (something whatever the new one is) and then takes me to a user agreement before it can install. The user agreement it takes me to is the one for the 1.4 update. I've gotten this update loop before, and its taken all of my saved data. I really, really don't want that to happen, and I have a feeling that if I agree to the user agreement that I will lose all of my data. Does any one have a solution to this so I don't lose my data?
