So I think for 4.x we should have at least the same level of crappy integration that 3.x had. I'm hoping we can do better though. I started to test with Geronimo 1.1 and I've him my first big issue. ActiveMQ 4.x depends on activeio 2.1 which is not compatible with the version Geronimo uses. So I think I'll work on upgrading activemq to use activeio 3.x which CAN be concurrently used with the version Geronimo uses. I would just upgrade Geronimo's security module to use the 2.x or 3.x but activeio's interfaces are still not pinned down and I want to avoid other folks from breaking next time it changes.

Naples, Fla. (PRWEB) November 20, 2010
Industrial Nanotech, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INTK), an emerging global leader in nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, today announced that they are working with a major California power company to use the Company's patented Nansulate® insulation and corrosion control coatings to increase energy generation efficiency and reduce costs. Previously, Nansulate® was used on an oil pipeline project by international power company, Galp Energia, for insulation and corrosion control. The coatings are used worldwide to insulate equipment and facilities, to protect equipment, reduce energy consumption, and improve worker safety.
"Nansulate® coating technology is an innovation in insulation technology. End users of power have been reducing their energy consumption with our coatings for years. It is logical that the power companies would also be interested in increasing the efficiency of power generation with this technology," stated Francesca Crolley, VP of Business Development for Industrial Nanotech, Inc. "We have been working with a large power company on the west coast to identify areas where Nansulate coatings can increase their efficiency, including pipelines, boilers, gas meters, and similar equipment."
Ms. Crolley continues, "We have seen a marked increase in demand for our products after announcing our global sustainability project with international textile manufacturer Coats plc., who was quoted as having determined the benefits of using Nansulate to include reducing steam consumption by over 10 percent, reducing related carbon emissions by 2 percent, and significantly improving working conditions of their facilities with our product that is anticipated to pay for itself in less than a year. Companies are finding that the technology offers them an affordable way to improve energy efficiency with relatively short payback of typically between 6-18 months, in addition to providing long-term performance, improving worker safety, and protecting equipment from corrosion and chemical damage."
About Nansulate®
Nansulate® is the Company's patented product line of award winning, specialty coatings containing a nanotechnology based material and which are well-documented to provide the combined performance qualities of thermal insulation, corrosion prevention, resistance to mold growth, fire resistance, chemical resistance and lead encapsulation in an environmentally safe, water-based, coating formulation. The Nansulate® Product Line includes industrial, residential, agricultural and solar thermal insulation coatings.

News - Mold
Space Invaders: Microbes
Written by Lillie Reiter, IAQ Coordinator and Environmental Investigator
Mold can exist in the harshest of conditions but did you know if can exist in space? Yes, there is mold aboard the International Space Station (ISS). When NASA took humans and transported them into space in an enclosed area, the question of what to do about mold probably didn't cross anyone's mind. For 16 years, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the crew have been living (sweating, using the bathroom, getting sick) inside the ISS. The microbes they release stick around because the space station is essentially sealed - like living in an airplane that never gets opened. Today, it's filled with non-human life and has its own unique microbiome (a community of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that inhabit a particular environment).
News We Follow: Controlling Summer Mold Growth in Schools
From an article on ASHRAE Website
Being based in North Carolina, we understand the way the weather and humid climates can effect mold growth in buildings that are unoccupied for long periods of time. We get many calls for vacation homes that have been left unoccupied for a few months and when they returned they noticed growth within the home. Schools can face the same issue during the long Summer break. This article, shared on the ASHRAE website, addresses this issue and outlines what can be causing it to happen. Here are some highlights from the article, to read the full story click here.

Hello hello wonderful people! It was such a good week. It's really hard not to always start out my letters the same way, because it's always a good week when you're serving the Lord. But luckily, the experiences and miracles are unique every time 🙂
At the end of our P-Day last week we stopped at 7-11 so I could get a Dr.Pepper…shocker. Well, we're waiting in line to pay, and a familiar looking woman walks in. After a couple seconds we realized she was one of our investigators, Sarla, who we hadn't seen since we met her in December!! We had an amazing experience where she got home right when we arrived, and got emotional when we shared the message of the restoration with her. We had kind of lost contact, but here she was at 7-11. We talked with her and she told us they had actually moved down the street (which explains why they never answered the door) and were going through some things. She said she would give us a call when she was ready for visitors. It was such a tender mercy to see her again. I know Heavenly Father places us in the right places at the right times. Also, Dr.Pepper clearly brings blessings.
Wednesday afternoon we had an awesome lesson with our new investigator Elizabeth. The Saturday before, we had an appointment fall through and decided to look for some potentials in the same apartment complex. We had written down the wrong address of someone who told us to come back, so we tried a couple of different options. In one of the options, we met Elizabeth, and she invited us back. She was so receptive to the message. She wants to know which of all the churches are true. She told us she would start reading the Book of Mormon and praying about it that night. Sister Harrison and I walked away from the lesson so giddy. It's so exciting when you're able to teach people who are prepared. We talk with dozens of people a day, but the best moment is when you find someone who is ready.
We had another miracle happen Friday night. In December, we had met a young family, Myra, Sergio, and their two little boys. We showed them Light the World and set up a return appointment. The appointment fell through, so ever since December we've been trying to make contact with them. We've called a few times, but every time we called someone would pick up and then hang up. We thought they were avoiding us. Well, this particular evening we went to go try them again. They were home and they welcomed us in!! Nobody does that so this was so exciting. We were able to teach them a brief restoration, and they committed to reading and praying about the Book of Mormon. Myra also said she would be baptized once she comes to know that these things are true. Ah! I know this gospel will bless their family so much. God is good.
Church was amazing this week. Well, church is always great, but sometimes certain meetings stick out more than others. We had a less-active member we've been working with come to Sacrament Meeting, which was so awesome. All of her friends at church were so happy to see her. And other than that we just had awesome Sunday School classes. Something that really stuck out to me was something our Stake President said. If you've been praying about something for a long time, waiting for a yes or no, but you haven't been getting any contrary feelings…Heavenly Father is okay with your decision. You don't always have to get a huge YES to know if you're making the right choice. He wants us to make our own decisions, and He will let us know when something is not right. That was so relevant for me, and I felt prompted to share it so hopefully one of you needs to hear that as well.
Sunday night we had an appointment with this man named Daniel, who we met the week before. It has been raining A LOT here lately, but this particular night it was just a torrential downpour. We had to park far away from his apartment complex, so it wasn't a super ideal situation. We were soaking wet from head to toe and so cold, and I was so sure that he probably wouldn't be there, but I'm so glad we decided to go visit him anyway because we ended up teaching him. Daniel left his whole family in Nigeria to come get a Master's Degree here. He has strong faith, and is so open and willing to know if what we teach is true. At the end of the lesson we found out he will be moving in a week, but I'm still so grateful that we were able to introduce him to the restored gospel.
I know this gospel is true. I'm so grateful to have a Savior who is so full of grace. Something else we talked about in church was grace. It was mentioned that grace is not the gap filler, but the help and strength given to us so that we can fill the gap on our own. There are plenty of things in this life that we simply cannot do on our own. But it is the grace of God which enables us to overcome personal weaknesses and do the things we cannot do without Heavenly help.
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
All my love,
Sister Martinez 🌧
Sister Harrison's areabook wasn't working for almost 2 weeks and this week it finally started working!! Hallelujah
The calm…after the storm.

Extract from the Viceroy Lord Wavell's letter to Leopold Amery, the Secretary of State for India, 3 October 1944 concerning the breakdown of the Gandhi-Jinnah talks.
This letter concerns the breakdown of the Gandhi-Jinnah talks held in September 1944. The talks were based on the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan. They ended without agreement, as explained in this extract. The Rajagopalachari formula mentioned was put forward by Chakravarty Rajagopalachari in 1943. It stated that the Muslim League was to back the Indian demand for independence and to co-operate with Congress in the formation of a provisional interim government for a transitional period. Once the Second World War had ended, a commission was to be appointed for demarcating districts in the Northwest and east of India where the Muslim population was in the majority. A vote would then be taken of all the inhabitants in the said areas to decide the issue of separation from Hindustan.
28th September 1944
P.S. - Gandhi and Jinnah announced yesterday evening that their talks had broken down. I am sending by this bag a copy of today's special edition of the Hindustan Times giving the text of the announcement, and of the letters exchanged between the two. I will try to let you have my comments by Sunday's bag.
(signed: Wavell)
To the Right Honourable L. S. Amery, M.P., His Majesty's Secretary of State for India.
The Viceroy's House, New Delhi October 3rd, 1944
[Private & Secret] There was no letter from you in the last bag. In the postscript to my letter of 27th September I said I would try to let you have by the bag of 1st October my comments on the breakdown of the Gandhi-Jinnah talks. The examination of the correspondence took rather longer than I expected and I sent you nothing on 1st October. I telegraphed some general comments on 2nd October for use in connection with a question in Parliament. I shall not be able to tell you for some days what I think the effect of the breakdown on the general political situation will be. But my comments on the differences between Gandhi and Jinnah, and the immediate Indian reactions to the breakdown are as follows.
(2) Jinnah based himself on the "two nations" theory, according to which the Muslims and Hindus in India, however they may be distributed over the country, are entirely foreign to each other. He pressed Gandhi to accept this theory and the Muslim League's Lahore Resolution of March 1940 which he regarded as an expression of it. He made it clear that his sovereign Muslim States must be composed substantially of the British Indian Provinces now regarded as Muslim (e.g., in the north-west; Sind, Baluchistan, the North-West Frontier Province and the Punjab, and in the north-east, Assam and Bengal). The right of these areas to self-determination and separate sovereignty was to be exercised by their Muslim residents alone. Jinnah declined to answer awkward questions about economic stability and the fate of minorities. He told Gandhi that he was dealing only with British India and was not considering the Indian States. Arguing from the "two nations" theory, he could not agree to any alliance between the Hindus and the Muslims in order to achieve independence, or to any provisional Government before the Muslin claim had been finally settled. Relations between Muslim India and Hindu India would be settled by treaty as between independent and sovereign States, and there could be no question of any Central Government or constitutional link.
Gandhi propounded the Rajagopalachari formula, but made it clear that he did not really believe in it, and that what he wanted was some form of self-determination for Muslims within a united India. His immediate aim was a provisional Government responsible to the present Central Assembly or to a new Assembly elected under the existing franchise. During the war, military operations would be controlled by the Commander-in-Chief, but after the war his provisional Government would be completely independent. The matters requiring settlement under the Rajagopalachari formula would be dealt with by the provisional Government, though at a late stage in the correspondence he agreed to some kind of settlement between the Congress and the League, which the provisional Government would apparently implement.
In short, the negotiations broke down because Gandhi and Jinnah differed completely as to the nature and scope of Pakistan, and as to the order in which they placed the events necessary to Indian independence. Jinnah wants Pakistan first and independence afterwards, while Gandhi wants independence first with some kind of self-determination for Muslims to be granted by a provisional Government which would be predominantly Hindu.
It is difficult to believe that Jinnah who, whatever his faults, is a highly intelligent man, is sincere about the "two nations" theory. His refusal to answer awkward questions also shows that he has not thought out the implications of Pakistan, or anyway will not disclose his views on them. To take only one example, the north-eastern Muslim State would amount to very little without Calcutta, but Calcutta is in the main a Hindu city. On the other hand. Jinnah's suspicion of Gandhi is justified. Gandhi's ideal, though he is careful not to express it, is a united India in which the Hindus, given a free run, would inevitably dominate the Muslims. Jinnah was arguing for something which he has not worked out fully, and Gandhi was putting forward counter proposals in which he did not really believe at all. ...

Teaching English as Second Language: where have you taught and why did you choose to teach there?
(Pictured: Ritsurin by Devanshe Chauhan)
I started my teaching career working for Aeon West in the Shizuoka city branch back in 2000. I originally wanted to gain some experience teaching maybe for one year then go back to California and enroll back in college to get my teaching degree. I did my demo lesson and interview (which I passed) with Aeon back in San Francisco then was placed in Shizuoka. I worked around 2 years for Aeon and then got directly hired by the Fujisawa city Board of Education in Kanagawa as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT). This job was full time but the contract was only good for 3 years. After that, I started to work part-time and piece my schedule together by working at different schools during the regular work week. I'm still working part-time at two universities and two private high schools. I've also worked as an ALT in elementary schools and as ALT for a work agency that sends teachers out to public or private schools.
What are some of the highs and lows of teaching English?
The main high I get out of teaching is seeing the students progress and enjoy themselves in the process of learning English. The lows would be sometimes having to deal with students who hate English and don't even attempt to try to learn it.
What are some of the highs and lows of living in Japan?
The highs of living of Japan are experiencing some things of Japanese culture that can only be experienced first hand here which can also have it's lows. I you don't speak at least basic Japanese and read some Kanji, Katakana, or Hiragana it's tough to get by here.
What advice would you give to someone interested in teaching English?
Do your research. Get as much information as you can about the company or school you'll be working for. Check information about the city you'll be living in Last, be sure that you're 100% sure about moving to Japan because there's so much more to Japan than sushi and animation.
What advice would you give to someone who want to be a more successful teacher of English?
Don't be afraid to try new things in the classroom to get your students communicating in English.

I have certainly put in my two cents about President Obama. He had a unique opportunity to settle the waters with regards to race. Instead, he ignited them. In his famous "race speech," Obama told us how corporations were getting huge profits, yet many African American men and women were falling by the wayside. He told us how it was economic prosperity on an equal scale that would tame the frustrations. In reality, he did the opposite. He gave total legitimacy to the Fox channel's criticism of that speech. His famous beer between the cop and the black professor was a bomb. When cops are directed to your house, they go to your house. Yet, I doubt Obama wanted to explore that side of the equation. When Obama says his feet trembled he was so angry when his grandmother said she was afraid of blacks. Yet, blacks stereotype themselves this way all the time, like its funny. Such was a film I watched just last night, "Meet The Blacks." Is it funny to those who have been victimized? Hollywood loves their unfiltered DOUBLE STANDARD. That's an important phrase because it is sinking society. To talk about racism, you have to be a neutral arbiter. He was a biased agitator. And yet, black unemployment has gone up under his tenure, not down. But, there's more; I mean we are even starting to see people who should be on his side saying things. I leave the debate here:

Consider the validity of the sources for yourself. Pretty much, what you experience is a large part of what is going on. That's why Obama went from 'Hope and change has come to America,' to 'the message to hope and change lies with you, America.(?) Look at the audience. Listen to the audience when you said the former, Mr. President; they thought you were bringing it.
Addendum: He's not done yet. He's doing another Rock Star speech in Chicago…the very irony of EVERYTHING he talks about. Who is the real problem Obama? Who? Imagine someone going to the same town in which a mentally-ill youth was tortured by black youth, cigarette butts put out on his skin; people saying 'f' white people.' Imagine going there to say Jim Crow is still alive and well. Not an empathetic liberal to be seen there? It's another condition of the hidden intention; the double standard. Do what Michael Jackson said, 'Look at the man in the mirror.'

With offices in over 20 countries, F-Secure is certainly a top-of-the-line anti-virus and internet security company, currently offering some of the best and most innovative products available anywhere. They have won a number of awards including the product of the year from AV Comparatives, a widely respected independent testing and evaluation agency. By using any of their anti-virus or security programs, users will be fully protected against all types of threats including viruses, spyware, worms, rootkits, and more. Virtually every type of malware is detected, blocked, and/or eliminated before it can do harm.
One of the best things about the programs offered by F-Secure is that download and installation is not only comprehensive, but also quick and easy. The program automatically detects any existing anti-virus programs installed on your computer and removes them. Other potential conflicts are also detected and removed before full installation is completed. Additional features include the ability continue running your favorite programs without noticing any measureable slowdown in system performance. Users are also able to schedule automatic system scans. This allows for a higher degree of program control than most others. You will be fully protected from all types of malware including viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, rootkits, and more. The program also includes real-time updates and a powerful scanning engine. Users will be instantly protected from newly detected threats thanks to this cloud-based technology. There is even a special version created just for Macs and the special security considerations which they demand.
Both of the main program options offered from F-Secure have been fully tested and evaluated. The independent testing agency AV Comparatives has listed them at an Advanced+ rating. They are among only a handful of companies to actually receive such a high rating.
For anyone that spends more than a minute each day online, the need from strong internet security and protection is a must. F-Secure certainly understands this. That is why they offer one of the best Internet Security Suites around. Users will have everything that comes in the basic package, plus a number of online tools. These include some very helpful and customizable parental controls. You will also be immediately alerted whenever you about to enter a potentially harmful or phishing scam website. Do you chat online or use a VOIP phone network? Then you will love being completely protected when engaging in these activities as well.
The basic package offered by F-Secure for their anti-virus program is as low as £39.99 for a single user and single computer over an entire year. While this in and of itself places the program price among the lowest in the industry, it is also important to consider the value that a user receives for their money. Think about all of the features and actual protection received. Even if you want to move up to the internet security program, this would still be quite reasonable at just £45.99 per annum. The real question is whether or not you think this is cheap insurance or another commodity item.
F-Secure offers users all of the standard help and support options. This includes being able to send an email or place a call to their technical support staff around the clock. Emails are answered very quickly and usually provide helpful answers to even the most troubling issues. You can also easily access live chat. Finally, look no further than the site since it has a comprehensive knowledge base along with a number of very thorough articles and advice.
Using the software is as easy as clicking a few buttons. The download and installation process happens almost automatically. From here, you can access the main dashboard, where it is easy to see all of the user options like setting your preferences and parameters for scheduling scans and other features. There will also be a small icon placed in your computer task bar that displays the current status of your security and anti-virus protection.
There are a number of reasons why F-Secure is among the top-rated anti-virus programs online. It is easy to use and offers some very strong protections no matter how you use your computer.

Samsung is one of the few companies that makes phones with removable batteries anymore. Every single Galaxy device, even the water resistant Galaxy S 4 Active, has a removable back plate to get to things like the microSD slot and the battery. And we've seen an incredible amount of people argue that a removable battery is necessary for them in any phone they buy. But is it really that important?
Sometimes, it is. There are times where you will need your phone for an extended period of time, and with current phones, not a single one will last as long as you need it. Think about an all day music festival, where you're taking tons of photos of a new band every hour. Your battery level will drop like mad, and unless you're carrying around a bulky battery pack and keeping it carefully tethered to your device, it won't last anywhere near a day.
Samsung has proven that removable batteries are useful by pulling an awesome marketing move in Chicago's Lollapalooza music festival. They had a booth there that, for a tweet with a hashtag, would take your old discharged battery from a Galaxy device and hand you a charged one. Just like that, in a 15 second battery swap, your battery is full and ready for the rest of the day. And not many other phones can do that, with HTC, Apple, and others sealing in batteries.
Removable batteries aren't the most important thing in the world, but they do affect a buyer's opinion on a device. carrying around a small spare could save you, whether it is at a bar late at night or out in the desert when you're trying to get home (yeah, I know, extreme example). And while it isn't always necessary, it's great to have it when it becomes needed. So, dear readers, what is your take on removable batteries?

Walking paths have long been a part of Hot Springs National Park and the preceding Hot Springs Reservation. Many informal paths criss-crossed the mountains when Hot Springs Reservation was reclaimed by the federal government in 1878; however, formal trails were not laid out for several years. In the early to mid 1890's, Captain Robert Stevens laid out many of the trails on Hot Springs Mountain. Most trails were built during the 1920's with some improvements completed by the CCC in 1933.
Earn incentives while you walk in the park. Let's Move Outside and improve health.
As in all communities and parks, crimes against property and visitors may occur and you must use good judgment to protect your property and yourself. Hot Springs National Park encourages you to lock your vehicle and ensure property is locked in the trunk of your vehicle or hidden from view; hold or carry personal possessions securely; avoid dark and isolated areas; and, walk, run and hike in pairs or groups. In the event of criminal activity, you should go to the nearest telephone and call 911 to report the incident.
Trail information was generated and compiled by students from Hot Springs area EAST Labs during a 2006 summer grant program.

text: Bridge Information In the past several years, Pennsylvania has made significant state investments in bridges. In 2006, PennDOT invested an unprecedented $558 million in 894 bridge projects statewide with $133 million being spent on bridge preservation and the remaining $425 million devoted to rehabilitating and replacing structurally deficient bridges. In 2007, that investment reached roughly $700 million. A structurally deficient bridge is safe, but in need of costly repairs or replacement to bring it to current standards. Despite a record level of investment since 2003, Pennsylvania has the largest number of structurally deficient bridges in the nation — nearly 6,000 statewide. With 25,000 state-owned bridges, Pennsylvania has the third largest number of bridges in the nation, but we lead the nation in the number of bridges classified as "structurally deficient." The average age of bridges on the state system is 50 years old. Inspection Facts PennDOT has an aggressive bridge inspection program that regularly inspects all of Pennsylvania's bridges at least once every two years. Structurally deficient bridges are inspected more frequently if their condition warrants. PennDOT does not hesitate to impose weight restrictions and close bridges if deterioration causes safety concerns. Below are links to spreadsheets (as of 01/02/2013) containing bridge information for Berks County. This information is published quarterly and provided by PennDOT on their website. Users are urged to first review the Bridge Inspection Terminology and Bridge Inspection FAQ sheets before using the spreadsheets.

Cancer is a group of diseases in which abnormal cells in the body grow out of control. There are over 100 different types of cancer, all different diseases with different associated risk factors; not all are well understood. Cancer is one of the most common chronic diseases in United States, second only to heart disease as the leading cause of death. Cancer currently surpasses heart disease as the leading cause of death in South Carolina.
While many cancers are caused by lifestyle factors such as smoking and tobacco use, diet and lack of physical activity, there is an association between certain types of cancers and environmental factors which may increase their risk. The SC EPHT program collaborates with the SC Central Cancer Registry (SCCCR) to track and map this data and information.
The SCCCR is established by SC Code Section 44-35-10-100, the Central Cancer Registry Act. (http://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t44c035.php)
All health care providers who diagnose and/or treat cancer are required to report newly diagnosed cancer cases to the SCCCR. Over 25,000 new cases are reported each year to be used for cancer prevention, control, surveillance, and research efforts in SC and beyond. The SCCCR data are 'graded' for excellence by CDC and NAACCR. The SCCCR is currently a Gold Certified Registry, the highest level that can be achieved.

Understanding how the data are collected, calculated, and interpreted.
Primary cancer prevention consists of reducing risk factors. Some environmental risk factor exposures can be avoided such as smoking and breathing second hand smoke. Other factors such as a person's age, race, or genetics are predetermined. Having a risk factor does not necessarily mean that cancer will develop and many who get the disease may not have had any known risk factors whatsoever.
Making healthy lifestyle choices and taking precautions at home and in the workplace may also help reduce and/or prevent cancer such as:
Secondary cancer prevention consists of detecting and treating precancerous conditions. The number of new cancer cases can be reduced, and many cancer deaths can be prevented by having regular cancer screening tests that can help detect cancer at an early stage, before symptoms appear. When cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat or cure.
It is important to remember that when your doctor suggests a screening test, it does not always mean he or she believes you have cancer. Screening tests are done even when you have no cancer symptoms.

Proprietary Apple strikes again
Apple has unveiled the latest member of the low end of its iPod family, the iPod Shuffle. As with previous models, it's the cheapest, lowest capacity, fewest features and smallest.
Not content to have something smaller than a matchbox, Apple has now made the Shuffle smaller than a key. It provides great bragging rights "smallest in the world", but it has some negative implications — because the buttons have been moved from the Shuffle (to save space) to the headphones.
Dan Moren of Macworld points to problem #1: the controls need a manual:
The fact that Apple has to put up this diagram tells you how much more complicated it is: how would you figure out the controls without this chart? …This is of course contrary to all the principles of human factors and user-centered design that Apple has been espousing for 25 years. Didn't anyone notice?
Look, even buttons have their place: having discrete controls for discrete functions is not necessarily a design failure. Sometimes it's just the best way to get the job done. There's no inherent, intuitive cognitive connection between double-clicking to go forward or triple-clicking to go back; it requires the forging of a new link in our minds. Where does it end? Will future versions require you to quadruple- or quintuple-click? Will there be a system where you can spell out the name of the song, artist, or album you want in Morse code?
The second problem is even more serious — the one everyone's complaining about. Having the controls on Apple earbuds means no third party headphones.
This is a nonstarter for me, as for many users. I've never used the earbuds on any of the iPods I've owned. I use clip-on headphones for day-to-day use, and over-the-ear noise reducing headphones for long flights. An iPod that doesn't work with 3rd party headphones doesn't work.
I know Apple has been a systems company for 30 years, they design end-to-end solutions, and they take advantage of the control in a way that many of their competitors do not. On the other hand, they also have an inclination (not always indulged) to lock in their customers by locking out a choice of third party solutions. (I made hundreds of thousands of dollars from the entry barriers Apple created for 3rd party printers).
Perhaps Apple will license the technology for a third-party adaptor product, analogous to the the SmartTalk adaptor from Griffin turns ordinary headphones into iPhone mike/headphones. Even so, that raises the price of the iPod Shuffle from $80 to $100.
Or perhaps Apple has sold iPods to everyone who needs a small, cheap portable iPod and now is trying to peddle an impractical fashion statement to impractical fashion-conscious teens.
So for now, I'm glad that my daughter and I have our existing Shuffles (1G and 2G respectively). As a 25-year Apple customer, I'm trying to expose her to better quality products, but if her red Shuffle broke tomorrow, then if I couldn't buy a closeout 2G model I'd probably get a Sansa.

Political consultant, feminist, and Huffington Post blogger Naomi Wolf is in talks to join Al Jazeera, the Qatari-owned news network that recently purchased Al Gore's cable network, Current TV.
Responding to inquiries, Wolf said the talks are "extremely informal and very, very preliminary."
Wolf currently writes for both the Huffington Post and the UK Guardian; she has already scaled back her work for the British newspaper. Huffington Post has reported that Wolf will be ending her association with the site, though no terms were announced.
Naomi Wolf has a long history of feminist activism, authoring such books such as The Beauty Myth and Promiscuities, but she also has a history of consulting for Democrats such as Al Gore. It was during Gore's 2000 campaign when Wolf famously advised the Democrat nominee to wear "earth tones" in order to appeal to women.
In 2011, Wolf claimed that arrests of Occupy Wall Street lawbreakers was some sort of conspiracy planned and executed by the federal government and the nation's mayors eager to stamp out freedom of speech.
More recently, Wolf compared the makers of the film Zero Dark Thirty to Nazi propagandists like Leni Riefenstahl.
Of the possibility of working with Al Jazeera, Wolf said she was thrilled. "As an American who cares about civil liberties, it's good for all of us that the Guardian and Al Jazeera are doing the work they're doing," she said. "It is good for civil society in America."

Navigating the new media in menswear
From magazines to webisodes, new and old media help navigate the sartorial landscape
This spring, we celebrate two birthdays in the menswear media that so dutifully report on what's new in fashion. A pair of young ventures - one defiantly new media, one defiantly old - are now a year old, and we can learn much from both on where the broader conversation about gents' clothing is headed.
As I've got a touch of trad in me (what scribe hasn't?), let's start with Port magazine. Or, as we Yanks who balk at the $16.99 price tag call it, ImPort. If you've picked up a Details lately, it should come as no surprise that the stylish, erudite and tastefully designed Port hails from beyond the water's edge: England, to be precise.
I first fell for the rag in September while trotting about the London Design Festival and have been keeping tabs ever since. It is, in a word, smart - in both the aesthetic and intellectual sense. The quarterly's fifth issue is due out in spring, and if you make one seasonal magazine splurge, this should be it. Not only does the thing brim with sophistication, the fashion spreads, unlike those in Esquire or GQ, rarely leave one wondering, "How on earth did they get a minor celebrity to wear that?"
Not celebrating a birthday, but deserving an honorable mention in the Foreign Magazine to Spend Half Your Paycheck On category, is the newly revamped Hercules Universal. I dropped 28 clams on a copy at Fog City News, but the thing makes a real run at the magazine-as-coffee-table-book niche. This Spanish magazine has weathered the last five media-unfriendly years and is looking very sharp indeed. Better visuals than stories here; the nearly 100-page photo essay on Istanbul will have me back for more.
The other happy birthday goes to the contextualized commerce site Mr. Porter ( www.mrporter.com). So-called contextualized commerce is the newest best way to sell things online, or so my futurist tells me. By creating an Internet clothing shop chockablock with style advice, short features, handsomely produced photo shoots and a frictionless transition to trading dollars for what you see in their stories, Mr. Porter acts more like a long conversation with a hyper-knowledgeable shopkeeper than a blog, magazine or newspaper.
The site's editor-in-chief, Jeremy Langmead, claims that his "style destination" educates, entertains and motivates sales, and already generates some 1.4 million unique views per month. That's no mean feat for traffic, and even if you can't spring for the fancy duds, Mr. Porter offers significant inspiration and no small amount of deftly packaged information. Other contextualized commerce sites worth a click include the flash sale site Gilt's GILTManual ( www.gilt.com/giltmanual) and Brooks Bros.' Of Rogues and Gentlemen (blog.brooksbrothers.com).
And speaking of gentlemen, you're unlikely to meet a finer one than Jesse Thorn, born and bred in San Francisco and host of the splendid "Put This On" webisodes. On Tuesday, Season 1 of his and Adam Lisagor's terrific series of men's style videos about "dressing like a grown-up" comes out on DVD. Although you can catch the series at www.putthison.com, the DVD comes with a raft of extras and what Thorn called extended "Charlie Rose cuts" of interviews with menswear icons like Gay Talese and Alan Flusser. The DVD costs $16, or three for $30; Season 2 debuts online Tuesday as well.
I asked Thorn what he's most looking forward to this season in menswear media, and he promptly replied: Bernhard Roetzel's forthcoming book "A Guy's Guide to Style," due out in April ($19.99, h.f. Ullmann). "So many people who write these books are dour and prescriptivist," Thorn said. "Roetzel has such a pleasant tone."
As a basic dressing guide, Roetzel's book delivers with plenty of good-natured advice, history and rules of thumb on topics such as how to wear a leather jacket; which cap might be for you; and the subtle difference between business attire in the United States, France and the Middle East.
Where "A Guy's Guide to Style" falters is less in demeanor than design. For all its fine counsel, Roetzel's book feels incredibly square. The illustrative garments seem to have wandered out of the duller men's departments, and the pages are laid out with little panache. If I'm to submit to a history lesson, much less a few dictums about how to wear my tie, I want it to at least appear cooler, more sophisticated, even snobbier, than I. But by all means, bone up on menswear with old Bernhard; just leave Port and Hercules Universal out for the guests to see.

Investors depend on, and have a right to, accurate information so that they can make informed investment decisions, and false or misleading statements by companies can devastate individual investors and harm the market as a whole. Both state and federal securities law provide penalties for companies who make false or misleading statements in their financial filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Federal law requires companies to file annual reports 10-K, quarterly reports, and current reports about certain significant developments (e.g. change of control in the company or an important acquisition or disposition of assets). False or misleading statements on any of these can subject companies to enforcement actions and financial penalties.
The Dodd-Frank Act directs the SEC to make monetary awards to eligible individuals who voluntarily provide original information that leads to successful Commission enforcement actions resulting in monetary sanctions over $1 million. These include enforcement actions based on a company's false and misleading statements in their financial filings.
In recent years, the SEC has brought enforcement actions against companies for false or misleading statements in a wide range of settings, and involving a wide range of dollar amounts, from under $1 million to many hundreds of millions.
- In January 2016, the SEC settled charges against executives and board member of Superior Bank for their involvement in various schemes—including straw borrowers, bogus appraisals, and insider deals—designed to conceal the extent of loan losses in the wake of the financial crisis. The schemes enabled Superior to overstate its net income in public filings by 99% for 2009 and 50% for 2010. In addition to fines totaling at least $2.8 million, the settling defendants were permanently barred from serving as officers or directors of a public company.
- In March 2016, the SEC alleged the CEO of a microcap company, RVPlus Inc., falsely claimed a lucrative relationship with the United Nations and billions of dollars in clean energy contracts with foreign governments. The SEC charged that the CEO made bogus claims in the company's public filings and in statements to private investors.
- In May 2016, the SEC obtained a court order to freeze the profits of a trader in Pakistan for manipulating a technology stock through false company filings. The SEC alleged that the trader filed a form with the SEC falsely stating that his group of investors had purchased a 5.1% beneficial ownership of Silicon Valley-based Integrated Device Technology. The market reacted quickly to the filing and IDT's stock price increased by more than 25% in less than 10 minutes, enabling the trader to realize a quick profit. As explained by the Director of the SEC Enforcement Division, the trader "tried to fool the markets from a computer in Pakistan to make an easy profit, but we made sure he didn't cash in. Market manipulation doesn't pay, no matter the method or how distant the perpetrator."

The result of grouping these two components together is something that is too complex. From now on, Stalin's Story will refer to the second, social component, without the intricate Proppian mechanics. How should this leaner Stalin's Story work?
First, it is of the essence that Stalin is chosen by chance, not by consent. When you start playing, everyone has the hope to be Stalin, but only one will be him. (Yes, this may remind the political philosophers among us of Rawls' Veil of Ignorance.) The person who is appointed Stalin, by dice or cards, should be obeyed by everyone; this text should definitely appear in the final version in some way:
Now, you may need to rearrange the furniture a bit. Stalin and his courtiers should be able to sit, while the actors need room to act out the fairy tale. Rearrangements of the furniture are made under the supervision of Stalin, but the other players do all the work. When the rearrangements have been made to Stalin's satisfaction, he chooses a place to sit – preferably the most comfortable chair or couch – and tells the courtiers where they are to sit. (Which could as easily be on the floor as on an actual chair.)
Perhaps Stalin wants some other preparations to be taken, and it is expected that he orders the other players around and they do what he asks. Making tea, giving vodka to Stalin and the courtiers – or to Stalin alone –, turning off the music, turning on the music (I suggest Shostakovich), changing the illumination, are all good tasks. When Stalin is quite satisfied and all the courtiers have taken their designated seats, the game begins.
Then, the players actually have to do something. I don't know what, yet, but it should allow them to please or displease Stalin and each other.
Also, in order to heighten the possibility of power abuse, Stalin should be insecure. I am thinking of designating one of the players (in secret) as the Traitor, who has a gun hidden on his body, and - from some point in the game onwards - can try to shoot Stalin. Stalin's aim should be to prevent this from happening; all the other player's should aim at becoming either Stalin's right hand man, or the new dictator. The way in which this power struggle should be formalised needs some thinking over.
But the central idea must be this: during most of the game, Stalin has all the power, and this power is real: he can order players to be killed (that is, leave the game), and if he only knew who are for and who are against him, he could easily secure his own survival. But he does not know, and therefore remains, though powerful, insecure and a potential victim of paranoia.

You will find a wide variety of planners and organizers available to homeschoolers, many designed by homeschoolers themselves. We are certainly an innovative group!
First decide whether you prefer a paper or digital planner. When looking over your options, make sure the planner you choose does things your way. Are you going to have to change your method to fit the planner? If so, find a new one!
Other questions to ask:
- Is it overly complicated?
- Will it be a burden more than a help?
- Is it reusable each year?
- Does it fit your lifestyle? (If it fits in a binder and you prefer to carry it with you…there's a problem!)
Homeschool Planning and Record-Keeping Software
When we first started homeschooling, there was one tried-and-true record-keeping software program. Now there are several good options available. Most of these programs combine the tasks of scheduling/planning and record keeping. Many offer demos or online tours so that you can see the product before you buy. Make sure the program doesn't require you to enter information that doesn't fit your lifestyle. Most of these programs need to be compatible with the laws in all fifty states. Some of the states require keeping track of the number of hours you homeschool, for example. If that is not the case for you, make sure the program you will be using doesn't require you to enter that information.
- Edu-Track
Comes highly recommended by trusted names in the homeschool community. Demo CD $5.
- Homeschool Tracker
Basic edition is free for download with no strings attached and no expiration date. Great way to see if the full version is for you!
Paper Planners
These can range from black-line masters you copy to elaborately bound planners rivaling some of the office planners on the market. There are far too many options to list; however, check your favorite homeschool supplier for a wide range of planners to choose from.
Free Online Forms
We are all so unique there is probably a unique planner for each of us. So if you are ready to build your own, download the free resources at these sites…then tweak!

Hot summer weather can sap your strength, reduce your endurance and throw your athletic performance way off balance.
If you are a marathon runner, for example, you should expect to add 5 to 15 minutes to your time; pace yourself accordingly. A tennis player who normally can blast a serve at 100 mph might lose up to 15 mph when playing in the heat. Every athlete, when competing in the heat, eventually learns to hold back early to have something left in reserve.
This time of year, your heart must work harder. In addition to
pumping blood to supply oxygen and nourishment to your muscles, your heart must increase the amount of blood it pumps to the skin to help keep your body temperature from rising too high.

Re: The Mandarin in Iron Man 3...Love it or hate it? - Part 1
I definitely relate to the deflating feeling of going from that sense of dread whenever Mandarin's videos popped up and feeling like the movie was leading towards an epic confrontation between him and Iron Man, to the sudden realization that it wasn't going to happen. It does feel like the twist was more at the service of a sociopolitical message than it was the characters and the story. I think there were ways they could have reduced the importance of Kingsley's character and made Killian the central villain without making him into a walking punchline. I don't mind Killian being the main villain because he was great, I just kind of wish Kingsley's character wasn't reduced to a one-note joke.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I think Kingsley was hilarious post-twist, it was just hard to shake the feeling that the movie was denying you payoff for something it had set up really well and laughing about it. I completely get what they were going for, but I completely get the backlash too. Marvel had to know there would be some blowback for this. So yeah, I think my issue is not so much that Killian was the true main villain, just that they really went the extra mile to make a joke out of "The Mandarin".
Also, does anybody know what scene the "Do you want an empty life or a meaningful death?" line was cut from? I don't remember hearing it in the movie.

Recently, The Root engaged in gross historical malpractice by giving voice to people who would benefit greatly from learning their own true history. They created a short video titled "No Country for Me." (And if this was independently produced, well, then, they do nothing to correct the record. So either way, they are at fault for not doing more to get down to "the root". Pun intended.)
This is (among many reasons) one of the reasons why I recorded William Cooper Nell's 1855 book The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution as an audiobook. There are many outlets out there, even outlets such as The Root who benefit greatly from lying about black history.
The only reason why The Root is able to get away with this is that for so long the progressives who control our school systems have engaged in a mass coverup of the truth of American history.
Shame on The Root for lying to its own readers and perpetuating this coverup! Shame on The Root for not pointing out that Britain brought slavery to this continent!
The Fourth of July, Independence Day, is worth of celebrating, by both whites and blacks!

For your auto to be in good condition while moving, then you must hire a vehicle shipping industry. Our goal is to find a shipping business that can take care of our auto very well. But with the many Auto Shippers around, how do you know you're picking the best?
For some, the reliable companies are those who have low rates. The saying "you get what you pay for", is not always utilized. The service doesn't really have to suffer when the prices are not that high.
Sometimes, there are shipping firms that are pricier than others, but their service is somewhat not that pleasing. But yeah, the price does really tell what kind of services does the company gives. But you could always start at the bottom where the prices are cheaper.
But of course, the cheapest deal is not the only thing you should be aware of. There are many other factors you should consider. Here are some tips in finding the right company.
1. Check the "customer protection" part of their services. Frequently, what the shipping businesses do is they put a deposit fee that you cannot refund and that will be the time that they will think about your interests. Even if that a deposit is put in order to protect the carrier and the customer, there are still some flaws regarding it.
The deposit fee can reach for about 10% to 30% of the original amount. If ever it is a deposit that can't be refunded, then it must be more than 30% of the total price of the shipping. And the fee of deposit must be reduced from the price that you are to pay.
Number two, see if it has rules regarding any kind of damage. Before you leave your car to the shipping company, you're going to accomplish together with the representative of the company the Condition Report With Disclaimers page of the Bill of Lading. This makes up for certain scratches and other damages.
You should inquire about their damage policies and make sure that their guidelines are clear and do not have shady parts that leave you at a disadvantage. You will know if the shipping business is credible if they discuss this matter at hand. Consider it as a "warning signal" if ever they refuse to talk about the subject at hand.
3. Is it "A Rated" in BBB? Shipping firms that are under the Better Business Bureau or BBB are really reliable. It is in the BBB that you will be able to know if a shipping firm is reliable.
Try to spot those companies who are really the best in order to have your interests catered to. In BBB, you'll get the company that has the highest that can serve you really well and have the highest standard. Make sure you check the BBB in order to spot the great vehicle shipping and good business standing that can really serve you.
But if in case you some more ideas, try to go to the blog that will give you trusted and reliable information.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
I'll never forget what my dermatologist once said to me. I went in to his office after a breakout and expected him to write me a prescription for a spot cream and to send me on my way. Instead, he pulled out a needle, stabbed it right into my whitehead, injected some sort of something, and goes, "Better out than in." I hadn't even gotten up out of his chair before my bump had visibly decreased in size.
I knew there was no way he'd send me home with a syringe filled with magic juice, so I settled on asking his advice on what to do with future breakouts. Apparently, there's no honor in never popping a pimple. What's more, there's actually a right way to clear out clogged pores to minimize the chances of bleeding and scarring.
I say all this to say that I'll never sit through a zit's entire cycle. But mostly, I've figured out a way to avoid them altogether: tea tree oil.
Tea tree oil is an essential oil with antibacterial properties. It's also an antiseptic and an anti-inflammatory, according to the National Institutes of Health, making it super effective in fighting against toxins that cause breakouts. TTO is sold in markets like Trader Joe's in very small amounts (usually one-ounce bottles), since it's extremely concentrated.
I initially bought TTO because I struggled with dandruff, and someone told me that adding a small amount of it to my shampoo could help with the flakes. But I'd also read that it was good for getting rid of zits. (Be sure to do a skin test for allergies before you use the oil on your face.)
Here's the only catch -- you have to apply TTO well before a zit has actually formed, right around the time you feel it trying to bud through your skin. After I wash and moisturize my face, I use a Q-tip to dab a small amount of TTO directly on the spot, and let it sit overnight. When I catch them early enough (and you can usually see/feel when a breakout is coming on), the would-be pimples are gone by the morning 99 percent of the time.
In the rare case that it doesn't work, I try one to two more days of applying the oil (once each night) to the affected area. If the bump still manages to get past the onslaught, I let it go. TTO can be erosive, and if you use it too much in the same spot, it dries out the skin quickly. If I overdo it, my skin will start to burn, letting me know it's time to put the Q-tip down.
Another way TTO can be used, as previously mentioned, is as a natural hair and scalp treatment. Mix a small amount of the oil into your shampoo to add an extra agent to work against dandruff. TTO is refreshingly fragrant, so it'll enhance whatever scent your shampoo already has.
Some people use the oil in their mouthwash (do not swallow!) to add an extra kick and because it's useful in killing bacteria. If you don't want to go this route, you can also buy "Tea Tree Mouthwash," which is a thing.

Community Groups
What is a Community Group?
A Community Group is an intentional community consisting of 3 to 12 people who meet regularly to pursue spiritual growth, friendship and support. It's a safe place to study the Bible, share your life, and ask tough questions. Community Groups meet 2 or more times a month, though weekly meetings are most common. Groups gather at a member's home, on the church campus, or even in a local restaurant.
Check out the video below to catch a glimpse of Community Group life:

A harbinger of spring with its golden flowers and ruff of light green bracts this is native to Europe and is a common sight throughout the British Isles, where it is naturalised in woods and plantations all over the country. The tuberous rhizomes are freshly lifted prior to despatch. Plant about 7.5cm (3") deep.
Despatched – Mid August to the End of October
For bulbs 'in the green' please follow this link: 'bulbs in the green'
Product quantity by number or weight
Another form of Winter Aconite. Although now considered a subspecies of E.hyemalis, this native of the mountains of Cilicia in Anatolia has striking differences. Its larger golden flowers appear later over a thinner leafed ruff. It naturalises well under trees and shrubs. As with Eranthis hyemalis, tubers are freshly lifted on demand.

Wisconsin could re-set the race for the GOP nomination, according to pollster and president of the Sen. Ted Cruz -aligned Super PAC "Keep the Promise," Kellyanne Conway.
She tells Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon that she has thought all along that if Cruz could get businessman Donald Trump in a one-on-one race, he could win.
Said Conway, "It would no longer be the establishment versus the non-establishment, because the establishment is gone. It would be Trump versus non-Trump … hedging the bet that the non-Trump vote share is a majority and the place where you have the most growth opportunity."
As for Wisconsin, it "re-sets the race because it's the upper Midwest. It should be a sweet spot for John Kasich. It's a place where Mr. Trump has already won contests."
Conway's larger point is that beating Kasich in Wisconsin significantly undermines the basic premise for his campaign and by besting Trump, Cruz could be seen as the emerging leader of the two remaining viable candidates going into the convention.
Conway also admitted that Trump voters tend to support him early and are "incredibly loyal," but claimed Cruz is getting late breaking voters, while also picking up a number of voters from candidates who have dropped out of the race. She also cited the Cruz campaign's much talked about infrastructure as positioned to help him down the streth.
"Having a vaunted ground game and data analytics at his side is incredibly important. You can't invent it over night. They've been working on it for years and it has mostly succeeded. She also cited Cruz as a candidate who "fits the times for those for the times one who want the outsider with the insider knowledge and experience. Ted Cruz took elective office for the first time in his forties, not his twenties, like a Rubio or Walker and has certainly stood up to leaders of both parties in Washington," said Conway.
The entire interview can be heard below. Breitbart News Daily airs from 6AM-9AM EST on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125.

Part Three: The Greenes, Chapters 20 and 21 Summary
A week after Christmas, the Kennedys receive an engraved invitation to a Twelfth Night celebration at the Greenes' home. The night of the party, even Norman puts on a joyful face. He seems especially proud of the eggnog he has made from Colquitt's grandmother's recipe. The evening's troubles start when Susan asks Norman to help her with a second batch of this eggnog. As they head toward the kitchen, the lights in the house flicker, then go out. Norman is angry because he had asked Susan to have the problem with the lights checked on, but she forgot to do so. Susan tries to soothe Norman by telling him they don't need the electricity, but Norman insists they need the blender for the eggnog. Norman checks the fuse box, then demands Susan call...
