Cleverly leveraging current "viral" events to gain visibility for your content can work to your advantage, especially if you can have a sense of humor about it.

The 'Miley Cyrus' effect, was created by a blogger who was tired of people not reading his articles(even though he feels they are great). So he put 'Miley Cyrus' as a title for one of his blogs, although it had nothing to do about her And sure enough, many people clicked it. If the interest in Miley is alarming enough, the truth about this article is that Titles matter. And a good title will hook you, and make you want to read it. So in this case, Miley Cyrus got some attention.

Cute brunette trying out device bondageposted by: admin
How about a nice cute looking teen getting abused by a device. This chick wanted to try out some light bondage, but before she knew it she was stuck in a device bondage scene with a machine drilling at her both love holes and two guys applying rows and rows of clamps on her body, starting from tits and going down her sides. That sure is a nice introduction to bondage, and I'm sure the chick will love it in no time!

Wanna read the latest
from Clever Magazine?
by Phil McCumskey
I remember coming out of the anaesthetic, the nurse leaning over me, stroking my face. She's here again now and this time she's stroking my back and neck and that soft spot just behind my ears. Mmm, that's good. A door swings open and an old man with a purple-veined nose and pink rubbery lips shuffles in. He's wearing a bloody apron and his eyes are glinting as he bends over me. Sticking a thermometer up my arse, he peels back my left eyelid with his thumb, peers into my eye then grins. He turns to the nurse.
'His signs are good. The effects of the anaesthetic are still there but all-in-all he's doing fine. Pity I had to amputate the leg, but if I hadn't he may well have died.' He frowns and purses his lips. 'I'm afraid I got a little carried away and neutered him at the same time. Don't know what came over me. Still, won't do him any harm.'
My ears prick up. Amputated my leg … neutered me … won't do me any harm. Is this man Dr. Mengele?
And then I remember the accident, the avalanche, when my handler, Jurgen, and I, had struggled up the mountain before locating the young skier, off-piste, deep under compacted snow. As the helicopter crew hoisted him to safety, tightly wrapped in a tinfoil blanket, the second avalanche struck. Tons of snow and ice swept us into the void below. In the silence that followed, I realized my leg had been badly hurt. A chunk of ice the size of Wales had done the damage. Miraculously, Jurgen got up and walked away, but now I'm minus a leg and my manhood butchered by an old fart who got carried away.
The name's Rufus, by the way. I'm a seven-year-old Saint Bernard, fully-trained at taxpayer's expense in mountain rescue and recovery, standing at just over three-feet high, with a shaggy chestnut-brown coat, adorable mushy face and a salmon-pink tongue.
A damn fine specimen.
Only now I'm damaged goods.
Mountain rescue was not something I chose to do. As a pup of six weeks, I'd been taken from my mother's side and thrust for two years into a strict training regime. The work here is way too demanding and dangerous. Freezing my nuts off on cold stormy days and nights is no fun. Hell, I had other dreams, other aspirations.
I'd rather have been a loving companion to a wealthy retired lady who'd let me snooze on the couch and feed me treats, or else a highly-trained sniffer dog in a temperature-modulated airport, smelling out narcotics and laundered cash. Or better still, a famous Hollywood movie star like Hooch, the giant French Mastiff in "Turner and Hooch", or Uggie that cheeky Jack Russell in "The Artist" who got his paw print on the Walk of Fame, or any one of those adorable One-Hundred-and-One Dalmatians. But no, I get to run up and down snowy peaks, sniffing out buried people for a living, with a bloody great keg filled with brandy strapped to my neck. It's not bloody fair. Looking on the bright side, though, I'm hoping the accident may help me make a fresh start, mould a new me.
At exactly 10.30 am, as they did every Wednesday morning, my new owners, Mabel and Sid Donnelly, sat in in the lounge of Downside Retirement Village, sipping tea and dunking their biscuits. They lived in a country cottage on the estate that comprised fifty acres of forest, a two-acre lake and numerous walking paths. I lay dozing at their feet on the luxurious Axminster, having just enjoyed a ramble in the woods after a breakfast of Canagan Country Dog Food, a piquant blend of duck, venison and rabbit. The sounds of the manager introducing a newcomer to the half-dozen residents slumped in comfy chairs around the room woke me and I eased open an eye. Four feet away, directly in my line of vision were two blotched, varicose-veined legs, peeping out from a tweed woollen skirt.
'I'm Jean Denny,' said the skirt. 'And this is Boris. He's a Rhodesian Ridgeback.'
Erect at her side, chest puffed out, ears pricked, stood a magnificent beast.
'Sit, Boris,' Jean commanded, and sit he did.
Boris had already spotted me and we stared each other down. Also known as the African Lion Hound, he was large and muscular and his dense, coffee-coloured coat had a clearly defined ridge of hairs running down the middle of his back. His legs were straight and long and his deep brown eyes perfectly round. In short, he was gorgeous. Oops, did I say gorgeous? Sorry, I couldn't help myself. You see, ever since the operation, my body's been giving me mixed signals. At first I put it down to the drugs and the fact that I was struggling to accept my disabilities, but once I got back on my feet, if you'll excuse the pun, and had lost the urge to lick my phantom balls, I understood exactly what had happened.
I no longer fancied bitches. Strange. Weird. Embarrassing. I know. But that's just how it is. Go figure.
Boris yawned, showing off a set of dazzling white teeth, cocked his head, and then, with a strange glint in his eye, winked at me.
I stiffened and my body quivered.
Oh, I do hope we'll be good friends.

I am thankful to have my whole family under one roof tonight. Dan came home this afternoon!!! We have not seen him since August. I love seeing how happy all four brothers are to be together tonight. It won't last long, but they're sure happy right now.
Giblet of the week?
I dragged Andy to the thrift store, my most favorite one, yesterday. He was not pleased, but what can you do when you are 11 and your mom drags you somewhere? As I searched through different aisles, Andy entertained himself in the aisle of weird stuff. (To the person who snagged up the $10 accordion before my son who had exactly $11 in his pocket, just in case, God bless you!) Andy came in search of me once he recognized the accordion was gone. I was scanning the dresses. I held one up and, more to myself than Andy, said, "Hmmmm, What do you think?" Andy testily replied, "DO I LOOK LIKE YOUR GAY FRIEND? No! I am your son. I'm only here because I cannot drive." :::sigh:::: I took that as our cue to leave.
In Other New:s:
My mom is hosting me and 22 other lovely people for Thanksgiving dinner. I spent the day hosting the cousins while my mom and sister got the house ready. While I hosted, I made about 8 million dinner rolls, some for our Thanksgiving dinner, some for a neighbor's. Glad I made so many. As I was pulling the last batch out of the oven, every kid in the neighborhood and some of their parents showed up for hot rolls and butter. I hope we can get through with just 2 million rolls for dinner. I have the back up mashed potatoes made and ready to go. I refuse to say how much butter I used there but, Paula Deen is smiling.
In the morning, Mike will be making pies. 2 pumpkin, 1 cherry/cranberry, 1 chocolate and one apple. He's also going to be cooking the back up turkey breast. As I type, the boys are tromping in the attic, not quite through the ceiling yet, hunting down the Christmas lights. That is how they'll spend their morning – festivating our house at moderate heights with staple guns in hand.
I'm going to work on my sad, sad novel now. I'm sore far behind @ 27.000 words. I will be bummed if I don't finish. I was lazy about it this time around. But, who knows? This weekend will make it or break it for me. I don't know, this is on of those dumb things that means a lot to me and no one else. Yes, that counts, but maybe not as much as other stuff?
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. (I will accept any and all leftover stuffing (plain, cornbread, sausage, oyster, you name it!) should you feel the need.)

Romance is a popular book genre. Romance novels follow a predictable pace toward a predictable happy ending. They are light reads which leave the reader feeling optimistic in the end. I have read many romance novels in my life and enjoy them when I do, so I get the draw. I understand why they are important. I understand why, now that e-readers make reading more private, many men are beginning to read them.
But my books are not romance novels. I love romance *a lot* and so I typically include lovers in my stories. I write about relationships, but not with the intention of leaving you on cloud nine in the end.
I'm taking some time to write this blog post now because I often see people complaining about books which do not have a "Happily Ever After". I see people complaining about characters dying because they are targeted for their race, gender, sexuality, disability, etc as if the author is actually the murderer just for having written such a storyline.
And this brings me to a conclusion I feel I need to proclaim: I do not write books to make readers feel good. (Though you will sometimes)
Additionally: I do not write books *solely* so you can see yourself in the pages. (Though you will sometimes). I aim, mostly, to make the reader see how not to be the villain.
When I set out to write Winter Seedlings, Jute and Allie were meant to move off to Illinois and open a little bookstore on the corner of some downtown street. That's what I wanted to happen. Two girls in love finding a happily ever after. But Winter Seedlings was never a F/F romance novel. From the very beginning, Winter Seedlings was about childhood sexual abuse and how challenging it is to define love because of it. Jute withdrew herself entirely from intimacy while Allie did the opposite; she believed her only value was in how well she pleased others sexually. I wanted to explore what would happen when those opposite forces collided together. In the end, Winter Seedlings was meant to give those who have never experienced the trauma of abuse a glimpse into the psychological effects it sometimes causes.
I wrote Winter Seedlings for people who did NOT already know what it's like to be abused.
And maybe I'm wrong for having approached it that way. Maybe I should have created it in a way that was light and fluffy and left everyone feeling warm inside.
But honestly, I was pretty upset about the issue. I didn't want people to read it and walk away feeling like they hadn't a care in the world. I wanted them to walk away feeling very, very thoughtful. I wanted them to care about what happened to those characters in a way that would stay with them in the real world where they could make a difference in real lives.
The same was true for Silencer. I tackled a lot of tough issues in that novella. Race, police brutality, mental illness, grief. Silencer is the kind of book that is meant to get inside you and twist you up, make you feel what you don't want to feel so you'll walk away with a lot more empathy when it's over. It's not written to make you feel good. And it's absolutely not written because *I* as an author want bad things to happen to minorities or the mentally ill.
Not everyone can read books like I write them. Not everyone wants to dig so deep and work so hard emotionally. I don't blame them. If you've lived your life with a certain pain, the thoughts of rehashing it through fiction can seem like torture. I do make an effort to avoid minimizing the bad things that happen in my books as if those bad things are easy to get over, and I make an effort to write from the victim's POV and not the abuser's. I avoid sensationalizing trauma for those who feed off hurting people. But I know my efforts can still, at times, not be enough. I respect anyone who says to me "I couldn't read your book because it was too triggering".
I have pulled my books out of LGBT fiction categories because most booksellers market that category like romance. Initially, I don't think I had a clear understanding of where my books fit in. I still don't. But, I have gained a better understanding of *why* readers read certain genres, and that has helped me know where my books do *not* belong. If a bookseller has a Psychological Fiction category, that's usually a safe place for me to set up residence.
So, what have you learned from reading this? Hopefully, you don't read it and think I object to your reading preferences, or your need for a HEA (happily ever after). I think you should be able to reliably find the books you are seeking and shouldn't have to read books that upset you.
BUT, I also think that you shouldn't complain about the existence of books which do not have a HEA. Complain if the author categorizes such books as romance, yes. Complain if the trauma is sensationalist and the storyline lacks empathy, but don't complain just because someone dared to write a tragedy.
Oddly enough, I've actually been knocked for one of my books ending in a way that was "too tidy". I don't know what readers want from me. 😉
If you are an author, cherish every reader who "gets you". Because there will always be plenty of others who would only use your book as a doorstop, or perhaps as a projectile aimed for your head.
My final thought: Let's all try to see the best in each other.

Actor-producer Aamir Khan says it was because megastar Rajinikanth's voice is very recognisable that he did not dub for the Tamil version of the forthcoming film Dangal. "The film is being dubbed in Tamil and Telugu, and yes, I did approach Rajini sir. Rajini sir also loved the film and after discussing it with him, both he and I decided that his voice is too recognisable," Aamir said at an event in Mumbai on Friday. "He is so famous and so recognisable, and his voice won't suit my face. I also felt that and he also felt that after discussing it. But he really loved the film, and he was encouraging," Aamir added.

AUSXIP Greater Charity Auctions was created in 2006 as a way to raise funds for the New Zealand charity The Starship Foundation. It's core principle is that 100% of the funds raised go to the Starship Foundation.
We work together with Starship to make this process as easy as possible. You can be sure that 100% of the proceeds go directly to Starship because payment is always through their donation / payment gateway.
Unless stated otherwise, shipping is free in the US and elsewhere. This is made possible by the anonymous Xenites' generosity. Whilst the shipping is free, there are times when this impossible due to the item's weight and export location. Shipping information will be stated clearly in the auction item description if fees are required.
Our one goal for this site is to live up to the ideals of the Greater Good. Thank you for joining us in this venture. Since 2006 we have raised over $185,000 USD and we hope to continue to do more in the future.

Is it remotely possible that your birth month has something to do with the things you do, the things you say, and your general attitude towards life? Let's have a look at what the different months in the year say about the female personality.
Ladies born in January have the tendency to be very critical of other people. They are extraordinarily ambitious, serious and conservative; which explains why they find it difficult to talk about their feelings. They only let down their guards when they meet someone who shares the same views about life and is on the same intellectual wavelength with them.
February ladies have a romantic nature but they can have serious mood swings which means they'll only get along with people who understand them and those who can be patient with their abstract ways of thinking. These women hate betrayal. So if you dare to betray a February lady, you may never see her again.
Females born in March are a pleasure to be with. They are charming with a strong charisma and even though they are cute, they become unattractive when they are upset. For them, falling in love can be difficult but once they are able to break that barrier they are loyal and dedicated in a relationship.
April females can be very diplomatic which makes it easy for them to interact with a wide range of people. If you are able to earn and keep an April lady's trust and make her open her soul to you, she can make you really happy. You need to be careful, though, these women can be very jealous.

Delegates Shine, "Safeguards" Vanish, Equal Pay for Women [1]
Catholic Advocacy Day Delegates Shine
Nearly 150 delegates from dioceses around California traveled to Sacramento this week for the 2015 Catholic Advocacy Day.
They met with various members and voiced their opposition to SB 128 (Physician Assisted Suicide) and AB 775 (Reproductive FACT Act). They also discussed their support for SB 3 (Minimum Wage) and SB 124 (Juvenile Solitary Confinement). (See the background sheets here.)
By chance, they were in the State Capitol the same day that the controversial FACT Act, which would eliminate the free speech rights of pro-life pregnancy clinics, was heard. Lawmakers at that hearing received an earful but unfortunately the measure passed.
Diocesan delegations were also invited to discuss local issues that affect them specifically.
One group from Stockton was comprised of deacons, a recent college graduate and a naturalized citizen. Their collective desire was to start a conversation on legislation that has a big impact on their communities.

Assisted-Suicide "Safeguards" Begin Crumbling in Oregon
Oregon's first-in-the-nation law empowers doctors to give life-ending drugs to people if they are judged to be within six months of death. Oregon's law is widely used as the standard for similar measures proposed this year in at least 20 states.
Barely noticed, however, is the desire of a key Oregon physician-assisted suicide legislator to double the "likely-to-die" window for death medicine to a full year.
The chair of Oregon's House Health Care Committee, Rep. Mitch Greenlick introduced HB 3337 which would widen the end-of-life expectation enabling physicians to assist in suicide.
Current Oregon law says a person must be judged likely to die within six months in order to be prescribed suicide medicine. HB 3337 would double the "likely-to -die" threshold for prescribing death medication to a full year.

Pope Calls for Stronger Marriages, Equal Pay for Women
In his weekly audience [7], Pope Francis spoke of the challenges faced by married couples and the impact on children from a divorce. He said that, with the increase in the divorce rate, children do not see an example of long-term commitment:
"There is this culture of the provisional ... everything is provisional, it seems there is nothing definitive," he said.
The Holy Father also urged Christians to commit themselves to equal pay for women.
"[A]s Christians, we must ... support with determination the right of equal compensation for equal work, why is it taken for granted that women must earn less than men? No! They have the same rights," said Pope Francis.

USCCB President Comments on Supreme Court's Oral Arguments on Marriage
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Tuesday, on the constitutionality of states defining and recognizing marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Commenting on the oral arguments before the Court, Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz of Louisville, Kentucky, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), said, "Today is a moment of great consequence. Marriage is a perennial institution, with deep roots in who we are and in our nation's culture and laws. Marriage is and always will be the union between one man and one woman. This truth is inseparable from the duty to honor the God-given dignity of every human person. We pray that the justices will uphold the responsibility of states to protect the beautiful truth of marriage, which concerns the essential well-being of the nation, especially children. Children have a basic right, wherever possible, to know and be loved by their mother and father together. The Church will always defend this right and looks to people of goodwill to continue this debate with charity and civility."
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling by the end of June.
May 1, 2015, Vol. 8, No. 17, En Español

With the on-chip GPU I think your frame rate is ok for Furmark at least, it is stressful.
Hate to have you download yet another tool, but try Downloads | techPowerUp to see if it picks up the GPU temp, maybe it doesn't have a temp sensor built in.
Have you checked the HP support website to see if there is a newer BIOS for that machine?
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2013
Oh okay I saw some people posting in the tutorial thread that had FPS from 7 to 15, so I wasn't sure if that was normal.
Yeah GPU-Z doesn't show the temperature either, just GPU Load, Core and Memory Clocks, and Memory Usage. I guess it probably doesn't have a built-in temperature sensor then.
RealTemp.exe and RealTempGT.exe won't run: they show an error message "The processor detected is not supported: AMD Turion(tm) II Dual-Core Mobile M520". Should I run Prime95 anyway even if I can't monitor the temperature?
I did get BIOS updated through HP's site. It's showing the updated version in System Information, so at least that went right, haha
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2013
Sorry, I knew one of the temp programs won't work with AMD. Try Core Temp it should work. Also Speccy will too and has lots of other system info what can be handy to know. Speccy - System Information - Free Download
As with all downloads read the install windows carefully so you can opt out of crapware bundled in some.
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2013
So right after starting the Small FFTS, Coretemp logged the CPU temp going up to 75 C pretty quickly. Only took a few more minutes of testing to get up to 85 C. It topped out at 88 before I stopped it. Didn't seem like a good idea to leave it running for hours at a temperature that high. I only ran it for about 10 minutes in total, so the test didn't show any errors, just the high temperature. If we need to see if the test finds any errors I could run it longer though.
Oh and also, completely separate problem that I've just noticed, but the battery is stuck in the "plugged in, not charging" state. I've fixed it before by uninstalling and reinstalling the ACPI-Compliant Control Method driver, but it didn't work this time. Think it might be because of the BIOS update, since I only noticed it after doing that. Can only seem to find the method I already tried when I google the problem, of course.
|My System Specs
|29 Jan 2013
Try using the Blend Test instead and see how the temp does.
If the lappy will run with no battery, try that then put the battery back in. How long will in run without the power cable plugged in?
|My System Specs
|30 Jan 2013
Pretty much the same result with the blend test, pretty quickly got up to 85 C and then rose slowly until I stopped it 10 minutes in... no errors, no warnings, just the high temp.
Haha oh wow that's embarrassing... I tried unplugging the battery before but didn't unplug the charger. It's charging up now. whoops haha
edit: Ah, it only said it was charging for like the 30 seconds it took to post this reply. Now it's back to not charging. Hmmm
edit 2 : It should show how much time is left in hours/minutes when you mouse over the icon in the system tray, yeah? It shows that there's 87% left in the battery, but not how much time that is
|My System Specs
|30 Jan 2013
Clean the vents out if you haven't yet, with a can of compressed air.
for the battery try this:
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2013
Ohhhh no no no. Posting from my phone now. Hit the vents with some compressed air (they were a bit dusty), then tried to turn on the computer... And nothing. the caps and scroll lock lights flash, the power button lights up...... But the monitor is black. No HP splash screen, no cursor, nothing. It was fine just minutes before, then i shut it down to clean the vents and now this. It didn't crash either, just shut it down normally.
Didn't get around to draining the battery so that's not it. Any idea for a fix? I can hear the comp start up but then blackness. What the heck could i have done to even cause this?
Edit: a few more unsuccessful tries. Can't even access BIOS. I am at a complete loss.
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2013
Ouch! It could be in moving it around to blow dust out you have dislodged the hard drive, battery, or something else.
I'll ask for some help with this.

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview 64-bit
So you cannot access even the BIOS? Is the PSU fan running when you power on? If yes, make it sure that all the hardware is seated properly, including all the cables.
If no, apply a different PSU.
Also, scan the system for possible virus infection with Windows Defender Offline.

RED OAK - Red Oak ISD police are investigating a burglary reported at the county tax office, which is located on district property at 101 Live Oak Road.
County Tax Assessor-Collector John Bridges said the offense occurred either Wednesday night or early Thursday morning of last week. There were no signs of forced entry and employees immediately contacted police upon discovering the missing money after the start of the business day Thursday, he said.
The tax office�s office hours are from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at this branch of the county tax office, which collects payments for several taxing entities. Those entities will not be shorted in their receipts as a result of the burglary, Bridges said.
Yesterday afternoon, Bridges said he was awaiting an update from the police and could not provide additional details pending the ongoing investigation.
In an interview this morning, Red Oak ISD police investigator Erik Scott said he plans to meet with Bridges later this afternoon to get more information. Due to the case involving a governmental agency and funds, Scott said he also has contacted the Texas Rangers to see if they want to assist with the investigation.
Scott said $9,853 in cash was taken.

Manager-Producers Join Forces to Form Haven Entertainment
Picture Machine and Tom Sawyer Entertainment are combining to represent talent and produce film and television projects.
Kevin Mann, Matthew Perniciaro and Mauricio Betancur of Picture Machine have joined forces with Tom Sawyer Entertainment's Jesse Hara and Rachel Miller to form Haven Entertainment, a new production and management company.
Haven has an internal development and production fund that it will use to acquire properties, along with providing financing and finishing funds for independent projects.
On the representation side, Haven is starting with a primary focus on the literary rep business, though the principals plan on expanding into talent representation in the near future.
Mann and Perniciaro, who are executive producing the upcoming Henry Cavill thriller The Cold Light of Day, will oversee production for all of Haven's projects.
VIDEO: 'Cold Light of Day' Trailer: Henry Cavill's Family Vacation Gone Wrong
Hara, a producer on Josh Radnor's Happythankyoumoreplease and the upcoming Liberal Arts, and Miller will oversee the management division, which includes such clients as Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) and Jenni Ross. Betancur, who has an extensive background in branding and merchandising, will spearhead business ventures in those arenas.
Also joining the team is manager Carlos Bobadilla as head of international affairs. Bobadilla reps many South American writers and will focus on expanding the company's presence overseas.
"We are taking full advantage of this opportunity to create a production and management company that focuses on developing industry-changing and groundbreaking content from start to finish," said Perniciaro.
PHOTOS: TV's Top Offices: Where the Showrunners of 'Mad Men,' 'New Girl,' 'Sons of Anarchy,' Work and Play
The first project to carry the new company's imprint will be the documentary A Band Called Death, which premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The company is in negotiations with a distributor for a possible 2013 release.
The company also is in production on Milius, a documentary on the life of filmmaker John Milius from directors Zak Knutson and Joey Figueroa, and I Want You I Need, a thriller from Dylan Narang, which will shoot this fall.
Haven also has television and digital content divisions and is attached as producer of an untitled Jenni Ross project set up at MTV.

The use of automatic features, most commonly auto-enroll, auto-reenroll, auto escalation, and default investment options, currently dominated by target date funds, is gaining significant traction in the marketplace. These features are a company's most powerful tools in changing behavior and putting more employees on a path to financial wellness. Anxieties about overstepping into making financial decisions for employees such as how much to defer into a retirement account are waning. Employees expect and welcome guidance in these matters and employers are recognizing that.
I recently facilitated a webinar with The CFO Alliance on the topic of The CFO's Responsibility in Retirement Planning. I asked if our webinar participants if they utilize automatic features and below is the response that I received. Over 60% of participants utilized automatic features.
A word of caution: Ensure that you run scenarios clearly showing the impact of auto features on items such as the company's match. For example, we recently conducted a re-enroll for a company with about 65% participation in the 401(k) – 6 months after executing, participation remains at 95% thus greatly increasing the number of employees receiving matching contributions. This increase in investment from the company in its workforce has been substantial but it was expected due to proper planning and diligence. Don't underestimate the power of inertia – few employees will opt out of automatic plan design.
A word on target date funds: Current fiduciary standards demand a documented process on the selection of investments. The most common mistakes that we see in the target date arena is a failure to understand the unique characteristics of how the mix of investments across various fund families changes over time for an employee and a tendency of some investment committees to concentrate solely on cost. A target date series that is designed to get an employee 'to' retirement will perform and behave very differently from a series designed to get on employee 'through' retirement. Fees matter…a lot; however, it is the annual return net of fees that will drive results so selecting the lowest cost investment option does not check the fiduciary box if that investment underperforms over the long term.

After twelve years of breeding Bengal cats we have decided to take a break…
We have retired adults currently available to approved homes~
Shelby was born at Matahari on 6.9.07. She is the daughter of retirees; Akasha and Full Throttle. Shelby is 5 years of age, and more red in color than this kitten photo reflects. Her contrast has also lessened somewhat over the years. She is petite and a very sweet cat, but also quite shy.
Shelby would prefer a quiet home, without dogs. She would be ok in a home with a non-aggressive male cat mate also. Her placement fee is $100.
See more photos of Shelby on the Queens page.
Balboa was born at Matahari on 1.30.05. That makes him our oldest retiree at 7.3yrs of age. He has stunning Bengal type, like his famous father RW SGC Stonehenge Wurththawate. He is a large male at 14 pounds, very sweet and enjoying of attention. He would do well in a home with other female feline adults, but would not do well with another male cat in the household, or with dogs. He's used to entertaining the ladies! Balboa's placement fee is $125.

Rainbows for Children Program Offers Help After Parents' Divorce
Rainbows for Children, a highly acclaimed international, interdenominational program developed to assist school-aged children of separated and divorced parents, has come to the Syracuse area. The organization offers support in a group setting to individuals who are grieving a death, divorce or any other painful transition in their family. The objective of Rainbows is to assist children in understanding a new or changed family unit in building a stronger sense of self-esteem and by directing them toward a healthy resolution of the changes that take place in their personal lives. For the third year, the 10-week Rainbows workshop will teach children to function in a changing family atmosphere and to seek support from peers and trained facilitators. The free workshop is open to children ages four to 14 and includes activities that encourage conversation, boost self esteem, identify the feelings the children are struggling with and teach ways for the children to communicate with their parents. Some of the topics include the following: feelings, grief, change, fears, endings and beginnings, stepfamilies, and reaching out.
Theresa Harris, a divorced mother and parishioner of Sacred Heart Church in Cicero, is the coordinator of Rainbows and serves on its board of directors. She said that the program is a valuable tool for children who struggle with guilt, grief and anger. "The program is more in-depth than a Banana Splits Program offered in schools," said Harris. Banana Splits is a peer support group where children from the same grade level eat lunch together, play games, and talk during the normal school day. "Rainbows offers children a neutral territory and protects the privacy of the family and child because they are out of their normal circle of peers," explained Harris. Don Harting, the registered director of Rainbows, agreed. "When you do the math and realize how many marriages in Onondaga County end in divorce and how many of those marriages involve children, you begin to realize how big those numbers are," said Harting. "And only a fraction of those children are being served by Banana Splits because some schools don't offer a Banana Splits support group, or the classes are full." Harting also said that Banana Splits is not offered during the summer as is Rainbows. "Summer can be a stressful time for a divorced family," he said "In the summer the problems of child care come to the forefront. We found that summer is a great time to offer Rainbows."
Harris said that trained volunteer facilitators who run the one-hour weekly workshops are compassionate, caring and understanding. "The facilitators find it a very rewarding experience because they make a difference with these children," said Harris. "They see a change in them from the first week to the tenth week." Harris welcomes volunteer facilitators but is firm in her requirement that those who volunteer must be committed. "These children have experienced so many disappointments in their lives," said Harris. "We ask the facilitators that unless they are hospitalized, please come to class. We don't want the children to experience another letdown." Pat Ennis, coordinator for separated and divorced ministry for the Syracuse Diocese, has wanted to bring Rainbows to Syracuse for several years. Ennis is one of the first members of the task force that gathered in 1999 to begin planning to bring the program to the area. "We saw a need for a support group for children of separated and divorced people and called a meeting," said Ennis. "It became a joint effort between Don and the people he had lined up and us."
Jennifer Abbott, a divorced mother of two, enrolled her daughters into the program last summer. "It helped them become more accepting of their situation with our family," said Abbott. "They became more open about it." Abbott said that her daughter was very uncomfortable going to Banana Splits because she felt singled out in school. Attending Rainbows taught the children that it was okay to have mixed feelings. "My ex-husband was engaged at that point," said Abbott. "When the wedding date was set, my daughters were concerned and confused. Rainbows helped us get through that." "The biggest mistake parents can make is to assume a child is okay with a divorce just because the child is not acting out," said Harris. "Sooner or later the child is going to move through the stages of grief and loss –– either as a child or as an adult. If they wait until they are an adult, it can happen in their own marriages or relationships." Ennis agreed. "People need to be aware of the fact that their children are hurting," she said. "Because the adults are hurting so badly, they can't help their children."
Harris said it's important for children to have a model of what a healthy relationship is like. "Children who have gone through the program not only become more confident, but they know what's fair and what's not fair –– what's right and what's wrong in the dynamics of a relationship," she said. Harris explained that when children learn to share their feelings, they can work toward amicable relationships with their parents, siblings and stepfamilies. Ennis said oftentimes grandparents call looking for help for their grandchildren. Ennis would like grandparents, aunts, uncles, or neighbors to spread the word about the program. "If they are not in need of it themselves, they may know of someone who is," she said.
Currently there is only one Rainbows program in the Syracuse area. Harting said that his group would welcome the opportunity to expand the program if adults come forward to help as facilitators and site coordinators. Harting also holds informational meetings about the program.
To register for the summer workshop or to obtain additional information about Rainbows for Children, call Don Harting at (315) 622-2077 or Theresa Harris at (315) 699-6644.

EIRIS analysed companies in Interbrand's Top 100 list and found that 69% of those with high climate change impacts were failing to adequately address the issue.
Leader of the pack?
Gillette (ranked 3rd in Interbrand's top 100) achieved the highest overall climate change rating in EIRIS' analysis. The brand has established long-term targets on emissions reduction and displayed strong reporting against those targets
Porsche, on the other hand, (ranked 72nd in Interbrand's top 100) achieved one of the lowest climate change scores in EIRIS' climate change analysis. This contrasts with other leading brands in the automobile and parts sector such as Toyota.
Apple vs Dell
Big differences exist in the extent to which leading technology brands are tackling climate change. Dell (Interband rank 42) has linked executive remuneration to climate change performance, established both long and short-term targets and has improved product-related climate change emissions.
However, Apple (Interbrand rank 17) has failed to implement any of these measures. On the other hand, Apple has shown an improvement in reducing its GHG emissions whilst Dell's GHG gas emissions have increased. However, it should be noted that other factors such as new business acquisitions, fluctuations in turnover, etc, can account for increases/decreases in GHG emissions.

Pepsi challenged?
Coca-Cola is at the top of the Interbrand 100 list, while PepsiCo is positioned at number 23. However, when looking at their relative responses to climate change a different picture emerges. While Coca-Cola has an assessment of 'intermediate', with a number of unidentified or unmanaged risks, PepsiCo scores 'good' according to EIRIS' methodology. Unlike Coca-cola, PepsiCo is therefore considered to have adequately managed its climate change risks.

According to Carlota Garcia-Manas, Head of Research at EIRIS: "The potential reputational damage to brand value associated with a failure to respond to the risks from climate change can have a direct impact on a company's profitability. A lack of mitigation measures can also lead to the loss of business productivity and business interruption"
"In the face of increased regulation, growing consumer expectations and greater investor awareness, climate change and other sustainability issues will become increasingly important factors in the determination of brand value," said Garcia-Manas. "Investors in top brands need to consider the extent to which companies are safeguarding their brands by addressing both current and future climate change risks" she continued.

Hi there!This is Chika from J-Hoppers Hiroshima guesthouse.
The other day,I went to go snowboarding to Geihoku Kokusai ski resort.
It takes around 2hours by bus.The ski-tour bus leave from Hiroshima station!
That was a first time for me.
I had never been to ski resort since I got there!!I didn't have my board and boots.However,they have rental service.So I could rental them.It is so convenience:-)
I haven't seen so much snow for a long time.
That's why when I got off the bus,I was sooooo excited and couldn't wait to do snow boarding.
To be honest,I was not very keen on snow boarding until I went there.
But once I snowboard,I couldn't stop it.I think I did for 6 hours!!
It was not harder than I thought.And also I felt fantastic when I traversed a slope!!!

For over a decade, it's been generally accepted that the greatest international influence on the Manhattan property market came from Russia. Although housing laws in America prevent collecting official statistics on foreign buyers in the interests of preserving fairness, a significant percentage of the most exclusive apartments in New York are the proud properties of Russian oligarchs. However, recent reports suggest that for the first time, the Chinese have overtaken the Russians in terms of buying up Manhattan properties – and this trend looks likely to continue.
Studying the international situation, it's clear that Manhattan's experience reflects a noticeable worldwide shift. With numbers of Chinese billionaires rapidly increasing, major cities all over the world are reporting that Chinese investors have become the leading foreign buyers of luxury homes. This is the situation in both Sydney and London, where Chinese parents will often buy properties that are located close to leading educational institutions. Educating your children at prep schools like Eton and Harrow before sending them on to Oxford or Cambridge remains a highly desirable expenditure for many Chinese businessmen, and purchasing properties in the country is all part of that experience.
In Manhattan, the situation is exacerbated by the fact that prices compare favourably with rapidly rising values in Asian cities. Luxury apartments sell for between $4,100 and $5,000 per square foot in Hong Kong, with the market there now ranked as the second most expensive in the world, behind Monaco. The thriving culture and international status of New York provides another major draw, while universities like Columbia, NYU and Juilliard make Manhattan a wise choice for buyers with families.
Although the Chinese are dominating the market in terms of the number of international buyers hailing from that country, the value of the homes that are purchased also makes them a force to be reckoned with. Manhattan properties may be better value than eastern homes in terms of cost per square foot, but the borough is still home to several magnificent apartments that command exceptionally high prices, which Chinese buyers are ready and willing to pay.
Meanwhile, Russian buyers have been gradually slipping from view, as the records set in the past few years are beaten increasingly quickly. In March 2012, a Russian billionaire bought a Manhattan apartment for an unprecedented $88 million, but that figure has been pushed into second place in the meantime.

Pearle Howell
Age: 50-something
Occupation: Teacher at Fairview Outdoor Education Center
Hometown: Prince Edward Island, Canada
Where would you see Howell? For 16 years, Howell has been on staff at the Fairview Outdoor Education Center near Clear Spring. Fairview is run by the Washington County Board of Education, and is best known for the residential outdoor education program it provides for all county fifth-graders.
The outdoor school was started in the 1950s at Misty Mount in the Catoctin Mountains, Howell said. In 1979, it moved to its present site, and is one of several outdoor centers around the state.

This morning, I collected guests from central Glasgow and then embarked on a Leishman and Dunsmore ancestry themed tour of North Lanarkshire.
The tour commenced with a stop at Condorrat which, in the mid-19th century, was home to a community of textile weavers. There is one former weaver's cottage still preserved ( see below). We also visited an ancestral site in Airdrie Road.
Next, we moved to nearby Cumbernauld Village where we were met at the Old Parish Church by local historian, Jim, who had, very generously, undertaken extensive and detailed family research on behalf of the group and provided a comprehensive talk on the family history and Cumbernauld local history including the nearby Antonine Wall which dates from the Roman period ( 2nd century AD.)
For lunch we visited the nearby Black Bull pub after which we continued our tour taking in:
- Cumbernauld House, an 18th century mansion.
- Film studios where the Outlander is being produced.
- Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life which has main focus on local heavy industry during the 19th century.
- Old Monkland Parish Church.
- Calder Street and Locks Street, Coatbridge.
- Greengairs.
- Riggend.
Finally, we returned to Glasgow by 5.3m.
Tomorrow, we commence a sight-seeing tour of Scotland.

Will I need a qualification?
A qualification is not needed for web content management, as experience is valued more for this line of work.
What's the best route in?
Experience and a natural flair for writing content is required for new web content managers. Having a background in journalism or marketing would show you know how to write for an audience, which would be a huge draw for potential employers. A web background would also be good for showing you know how to fully utilise the medium.
Regardless of the background however, it is vital you can show you know how to write content. Whether this was at a previous job, as part of a voluntary program or on a personal project, being able to write attractive and engaging content is vital.
Where might the role take me?
Web Content Managers can move around various jobs, but the core ability to write in an engaging and attractive style will be valuable across the advertising industry, and there are endless possibilities for a proven writer to move into.

O'Keeffe: Peach and Glass
Every spring, Google sends what I assume are fathers(and some mothers?) and Little League coaches to my blogpost: Everything I Know About Batting. I'm very proud of that post. It is meat and potatoes. It's important to not overcomplicate coaching instruction.
In this blog, I am not trying to "do" any particular good thing. I simply use this blog to express myself. If I could paint, sculpt, dance, or play the guitar or the piano: then I might be expressing myself through those instead. Everyone has things to express. This is my outlet.
If I have - on the way to selfishly expressing myself for my own enjoyment - accidentally accomplished one worthwhile thing, maybe Everything I Know About Batting is it. Googlers have read it - both last spring and this spring - at exactly this time of year: just as Little League is getting started. I am very happy about that. I hope it helps some of them.
Here's an example of a Google search: STOP SWINGING AT HIGH BALLS
Link This query called up approx 100,000 hits, and Everything I Know About Batting was #1 on the Google list. Hooray!
Ironically: I don't know, for certain, how to get a child to stop swinging at high balls. I suspect the solution is almost as much a spiritual fix as a technical fix. In the interim: "Swing level" is a good starting point. It's difficult to both swing level and swing at high pitches. At a minimum, it requires some unnatural contortion. The other thing is: never, ever swing at high pitches. Not in batting practice (this is a common mistake allowed by unknowing coaches pitching to tiny hitters); not in Wiffle Ball or softball (hit the softball chest high, and no higher); not at a birthday party Pinata. Not ever. Not EVER.
Whew. Just had to express that!

Of all my inventions, I liked the phonograph the best." - Thomas Edison
While Adafruit prefer the incandescent lightbulb, Adafruit are willing to call the phonograph a close second. And with this kit from Gakken, you can now feel like Edison himself by building your own miniature phonograph! This phonograph can record and play about fifty seconds of sound onto a wax candle - mimicking the original wax cylinder used.
This build-it-yourself phonograph works by capturing sound's vibrations by pressing a needle onto wax candle. The playback does the opposite - the grooves cause the needle to vibrate and when the waves are passed onto a diaphragm, a sound comes out from the phonograph's horn.
The kit takes about an hour to assemble and is perfect for both kids and adults. It requires no special tools except scissors, cellophane tape, and two AA batteries that aren't included. Candles, however, are included!
There's no English manual so this kit's a bit more challenging than the other Gakken kits. The pictures, however, are fairly simple to follow and the kit should only take a couple of hours to build. The Japanese Manual (with pictures) is available for download here.
Gakken is a Japanese publishing company founded in 1946. In the 1970s, they began selling educational toys, books, magazines, and electronic kits. Their kits are known for their smart design and relative ease of use and have a large cult following both in Japan and the United States.

Security mechanisms in electronic ID documents
Password Authenticated Connection Establishment (PACE)
"Password Authenticated Connection Establishment" (PACE) ensures that the contactless RF chip in the electronic ID card cannot be read without direct access and the data exchanged with the reading device is transmitted encrypted.
This protocol is used for the electronic ID card.
Which password can be used for PACE depends on the digital certificate of the reading device. Usually this is the six digits secret "Personal Identification Number" (PIN), which is known only to the ID card bearer.
For reading devices with digital certificates for official use, such as boarder control, either the machine readable zone (MRZ) printed on the back of the electronic ID card or the six digits "Card Access Number" (CAN) printed on the front side is sufficient.
More about the different "passwords" can be found under electronic ID card.
PACE has the advantage that the password length has no influence on the security level of the encryption. This means even with the short - in contrast to the MRZ - PIN or CAN the data is strongly protected on the RF chip of the electronic ID card and during transmission.
If you wish to know more about this procedure, please read our technical guideline BSI-TR-03110.

Ryan Fitzpatrick knows the drill all too well.
NFL franchises release, trade or decline to re-sign veteran players every year for performance- or salary-based reasons. Those teams then look to the draft or free agency if a replacement isn't waiting in the wings.
This is precisely what happened with Fitzpatrick (again) during the 2017 offseason. The Jets voided the final year of his contract after Fitzpatrick foundered during the 2016 campaign. Gang Green then signed Josh McCown to a one-year, $6 million contract (with the ability to earn $7 million more through incentives) as its new starting quarterback.
With 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions on a 4-5 club playing much better than expected, McCown as a full-time starter is enjoying the best season of his 16-year NFL career. Fitzpatrick landed as a backup with Tampa Bay, his seventh different NFL team, and will make his starting debut there replacing an injured Jameis Winston (shoulder) Sunday against the Jets.
Advantage: New York.
Who are this season's other winners and losers when it comes to teams bringing in newcomers to replace departed veterans? Swipe for a look at five in each category to emerge from the NFL's annual Swap Shop.
Alex Marvez can be heard from midnight to 2 a.m. ET and 8 p.m. to midnight ET Friday on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Our group began nearly thirty years ago with initial interests in computer simulation of metabolism and the theoretical analysis of metabolic control and regulation. Whilst these still remain areas of interest, we have since developed interests in modelling signal transduction, in various different approaches to network analysis of metabolism, and in reconstructing metabolic networks from genomic data. In the course of this research, we have addressed problems in microbial, plant and mammalian metabolism, often in conjunction with collaborators who have contributed experimental results.
Our current work centres on modelling the networks of reactions in cells, with particular emphasis on metabolism. It forms part of the emerging field of Systems Biology, in that we are concerned with understanding how biological function arises from the interactions between many components, and with building predictive models. We have to develop and apply suitable theoretical tools, including metabolic control analysis, computer simulation and other forms of algebraic and numerical analysis. In addition, we are investigating how to decipher the metabolic information contained in genome sequences. We are involved in projects on microbial, plant and animal metabolism, each in collaboration with an experimental team.
Potential applications of our work include the design of changes in cellular metabolism to improve the output of product such as antibiotics, detecting vulnerable sites in cellular networks that could be targets for drugs to control disease-causing organisms, and improved understanding of how organisms manage to adjust their metabolism in response to environmental changes and other signals.

PrivacyPal is a product imagined, designed and built in 48-hours for Koding's First Global Virtual Hackathon. We were given the brief a couple of hours before the event started, and it asked us to address the issue with on-line terms & conditions and privacy policies, namely the fact that no-one has ever read one except for, perhaps, maybe the people who write them. Just kidding, not even them.
We spent a couple of hours thinking of building on top of Aza Raskin's proposal for a global iconography for privacy policies and offer a service where users can immediately know, straight from their own browser, how any website is using their data, even before giving any of it away. You can use it as a Chrome extension, always sniffing around for details on the website you're viewing, or you can visit PrivacyPal's website to check any URL beforehand and prevent unwanted use of your data. We didn't win, but our prototype was actually mistaken for a real, full-fledged product, which is not all that bad.

Toronto police are investigating after a car slammed into a hydro pole in North York, splitting the pole in half.
The crash happened on Bayview Avenue near Cummer Avenue around 1 a.m. on Tuesday.
The intersection was closed for more than three hours, but most lanes reopened just after 4:30 a.m.
Charges are pending against the driver.
No serious injuries were reported.
