It was gathered that senators who supported Lawan's bid had allegedly met with some All Progressives Congress leaders on the need to remove Saraki and that they had started the meeting with the leaders shortly after the Senate went on recess.
A member of the group from the South-West geopolitical zone, who also craved anonymity, confirmed said that they have started reaching out to their colleagues who had joined the camp of Saraki.
He said:
"We know that getting the required figure to carry out an impeachment at the moment would be a herculean task but honestly we hope to achieve it very soon. Already there has been a serious move to get our former party members who are with Saraki now back to our camp.
"I can also confirm to you that we have the support of about 12 Peoples Democratic Party senators who are ready to support any move against Saraki. Don't forget that some ranking PDP senators are still aggrieved over the emergence of freshers as their principal officers."
Another source said:
"We learnt that the like minds senators are already working on some of their supporters in the PDP camp to reject the ministerial list by refusing to screen them but we are also ready for them. I won't disclose our strategy for now."

Sonus Faber used a chance to show their newest version of the Aida loudspeaker, in the largest display room at the Warsaw National Stadium location of Audio Video Show 2017.
While outward appearances seem nearly identical to the previous model that debuted in 2011, it's the internal changes that are of consequence for readers as Sonus faber has spared no expense in revamping their flagship model.
Starting from the system, that is "3 and 2/3 way" with Stealth Ultraflex", which allows better bass extension while minimizing distortion and eliminating spurious vibration coming from the air passage inside the reflex duct.
The typical lyra shape enclosure, as in the previous edition, is complimented by the "Anima Legata" system, the "Tuned Mass Dampers" and a revision of the special "Bow spring" suspension, which contains the "Zero Vibration Transmission" system, all designed to keep both the loudspeaker and the musical environment free from unwanted resonance and vibration.
Perhaps the most radical among the new changes is the selection of all-new driver systems. The tweeter is the "D.A.D. Arrow Point" H28 XTR-04, first used in the Sonus faber Lilium and also in the most recent Homage Tradition Collection.
The midrange is also promoted to a M18 XTR-04 enhanced with the avional- gunmetal basket, the most advanced midrange driver in the entire Sonus faber catalogue. This new combination of tweeter and midrange creates the "Voice of Sonus faber", the iconic configuration of driver technology capable of maintaining the effortless, warm and involving timbre that has become a trademark of the Arcugnano-based company.
Completing the new driver arsenal are the new specifically designed woofers: W22 XTR-12 complete with all-new powerful Neodymium magnet motors and SW32 XTR-08 infra-woofer, probably the craziest subwoofer ever designed in Sonus faber, equipped with Nano Carbon sandwich cone and a long-throw 4'' voice- coils, powered by a Neodymium magnet motor.
The new Aida is using only Neodymium powered transducers for reaching new pinnacles in terms of speed and dynamic.
Inherited from "The Sonus faber" cost-no- object project is the patented "Sound Field Shaper" technology – a unique system of attenuated rear-facing drivers allowing precise control of the dimensionality and perceived size of the sound-stage. This system is upgraded further utilizing the latest tweeter and midrange: "Arrow Point" DAD 29XTR2 and M8XTR, as well as a complete redesign of the crossover network.
New Aida is available to purchase starting in December for "82.000€ + VAT = $130,000" according to the representative.

Shola Amoo takes A Moving Image to Africa
Mozambique workshop and Hustle
South Africa Hustle
10th January 2018
Shola Amoo recently travelled to four African countries with his feature film A Moving Image for a series of screenings and workshops
Here's Shola's account of his trip:
My screening and workshop tour ran across four countries, including Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania and South Africa.
The aim was to screen my debut feature A Moving Image, in Nairobi, Maputo, Dar es Salaam and Johannesburg. In addition to that I ran a three-day short film workshop in both Maputo and Dar es Salaam.
In Kenya, I collaborated with an organisation called Docubox to screen the work of two key Kenyan artists, Jim Chuchu and Ng'endo Mukii. They screened a selection of acclaimed VR work and short films and then we engaged in a Q&A that queried the state of cinema and artistic practice in Kenya. It was an interactive discussion with a very engaged and vocal audience. We touched on the topics of distribution, multimedia practice and artistic practice in the wider diaspora.
The first three-day short film workshop took place in Maputo. It included participants from other neighbouring countries, including Zambia, Botswana and Namibia, alongside the participants from Mozambique.
This was a highly interactive course, interrogating how to create short form content that could capture a global digital audience. Part of the process involved watching various pieces of online media, including short film, webinars and web series. The participants also had to pitch their projects in under three minutes. I was supported by local artist Iria Marina, an amazing multi-hyphenate who recently had a fantastic exhibition in Maputo. She also sat on the panel for the A Moving Image screening, chaired by Filomena Mairosse and hosted by SA-based organisation Creative Nestlings.
After Maputo, I ran the same course in Dar es Salaam but this time supported by talented photographer turned filmmaker Osse Sinare, who delivered an exceptional masterclass on branding. Daniel Nyalusi, the director of the Zanzibar Film Festival also gave an informative masterclass on the international festival circuit.
At the end of the course, two of the best projects were awarded £1,000 to enable the winners to attend the Zanzibar Film Festival 2018 to support the screening of their work.
The final screening of A Moving Image was in Johannesburg, again this was hosted by Creative Nestlings, which curated a panel of talented, locally based practitioners.
The post-screening discussion was very intense, due to the reality of gentrification in Johannesburg, particularly in places such as Maboneng.
The question of how powerful a tool art is to combat social injustice was a recurring motif. It directly tied to the central theme at the heart of my film and felt extra pertinent in this highly political time around the world.

Positive Self Exploration
with Michael Greene, MA, CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherapists)
Positive relationships are essential to well being, whether they be colleagues, friends or intimate partners. Many people have difficulty in managing healthy relationships. They often lack trust in others and themselves.
I can help you improve how you deal with other people. We will trace your relationship history, how you first learned to relate, your relationship models and the people and events that shaped how you view yourself in relation to others. In this way we will give you a better understanding of your beliefs and behaviours that either help or harm your relationships. With these in mind I can provide you with strategies that can make your relationships more fulfilling.
Codependency is characterized as a dysfunctional relationship where one person relies on their partner to fill all of their emotional and psychological needs. It is powerful and addictive and often destructive. I can help you understand why you have this type of behaviour by examining the roots of your codependent relationships throughout your history, particularly your family history. I will show you the false beliefs that underlie codependent behaviour and why you have come to use codependency, particularly as a protection. I will also give you ways to focus on and understand yourself better so that you can feel a sense of healthy independence. Finally, I will help you create new and positive behaviours that can make your relationships more rewarding.

All the world's a stage…
Today is World Theatre Day
Today is the 56th time for the global theatre community to officially celebrate theatre as an art form. Theatres, actors and theatre lovers all over the world will mark this day with national and international events.
One of the most important of these is the circulation of the World Theatre Day Message, through which a world-renowned figure shares his or her reflections on the theme of Theatre and a Culture of Peace.
If there ever were a better time to achieve a culture of peace, it is now when we are all connected with an increasing number of people choosing to become nomads — digital or physical. This is what Jobbatical is all about — bringing the most varied opportunities for you to grasp. Be it a Sales Rep in Barcelona or a Developer in the Swiss Alps. And, soon, we hope — an actor in Berlin or a theater director in Sydney.
French theatre and movie actress Isabelle Huppert will be the author of this year's Theatre Day Message that'll be translated into 50+ languages. Would you believe that there are 147 languages represented on Jobbatical — and this is what we counted just this past month!
The first World Theatre Day Message was written by Jean Cocteau in 1962. It is translated into more than 50 languages, read to tens of thousands of spectators before performances in theatres throughout the world, and printed in hundreds of daily newspapers. Also, more than a hundred radio and television stations will be transmitting the message to listeners in all corners of the five continents. This year, the main event will be celebrated at the UNESCO hall in Paris, and French theatre and movie actress Isabelle Huppert will be the author of this year's message.
The day is also meant to act as a wake-up call for governments, politicians and institutions that have not yet recognised the value of theatre — for the people and for the individual — and have not yet realised its potential for economic growth. We here at Jobbatical have an array of gigs and talents to choose from, and theatres, creatives or tech talent working in the industry would definitely be great assets to add to this list. And politicians — if you ever crave to change your career or country…
We'd love for ya'll to join our community on Jobbatical.com. I mean, who wouldn't want to hire Ryan Gosling?

Report: Tajikistan River to Be Stemmed for Dam Project
In what has been billed as a historic development, Tajikistan will later this month start stemming the flow of the Vakhsh River as part of construction work on the Rogun mega-dam.
Moscow-based ferghana.ru has reported, citing a source in Tajikistan's energy sector, that a ceremony to begin diverting the river will be attended by President Emomali Rahmon on October 29.
Construction duties on Rogun were earlier this year assigned to Italian company Salini Impregilo. It is estimated that the project will cost $3.9 billion to complete, although it is far from clear where Dushanbe is to source such a vast quantity of funds.
The website cites energy industry insiders as saying that work on the Vakhsh River will not affect existing hydroelectric facilities downstream.
Salini Impregilo explained the purpose of diverting the Vakhsh — as well as how it will be done — in its project page on Rogun.
"The diversion of the Vakhsh River … will be done with confluence of two diversion tunnels in a mountainside in order to keep the foundations of the dam dry. It is a very complex task that, because of the strength of the river, will only be able to be done during the winter months when the mountains are covered in snow and the water level is lower," the company said on its website.
The project is broken down into four components, with the most expensive one involving the building of a 335-meter-high rockfill dam — the tallest in the world — which will entail costs of around $1.95 billion.
Salini Impregilo boasts on its website of significant experience in major dam-building projects. One listed on its website is a €2.5 billion ($2.8 billion) hydroelectric plant in Ethiopia with an installed capacity of 2,200 megawatts. That is relatively small fry compared to Rogun, however, which is designed to incorporate six 600 megwatt turbines to make up for a colossal total installed capacity of 3,600 megawatts.
This latest anticipated development will serve as an interesting test case in neighboring Uzbekistan's apparent desire to pursue a diplomatic entente with Tajikistan. Uzbekistan has for many years vociferously objected to Tajikistan's plan to build a giant dam across the rivers that serve as sources of irrigation for its important agricultural sector.
But that the intransigent stance adopted by Tashkent may have softened somewhat following the recent death of Uzbekistan's long-standing leader Islam Karimov.
A statement issued by Rahmon's office following a visit to Dushanbe by Uzbek Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Komilov in late September hinted that the two nations are at least entertaining dialogue on the difficult water resources question.
"Water and energy, and transport and logistics, as well as issues the mutual [cross-border movement] of citizens were identified as areas requiring active constructive cooperation," the statement read.

Who Was Guarding the Guardian?
Charles Johnson catches Max Hastings of the Guardian in a moment of lucidity:
[...]A friend who visited the White House recently described the president's buoyant account of his Iraqi crusade, which highlighted the fact that a national government has been formed. Some progress is claimed towards normalisation in Shia and Kurdish regions. Syrian withdrawal gives Lebanon a chance of making something of democracy. Washington asserts that it is involving itself more than ever in the Middle East peace process.Not surprisingly, this magnanimity does not quite last to the end of the article. Inevitably, when the left is forced to acknowledge the success of conservatism, it does so by way of contrast with the downside, in a tone of balance and even-handedness:
None of these claims should be dismissed out of hand. The greatest danger for those of us who dislike George Bush is that our instincts may tip over into a desire to see his foreign policy objectives fail. No reasonable person can oppose the president's commitment to Islamic democracy. Most western Bushophobes are motivated not by dissent about objectives, but by a belief that the Washington neocons' methods are crass, and more likely to escalate a confrontation between the west and Islam than to defuse it.
Such skepticism, however, should not prevent us from stepping back to reassess the progress of the Bush project, and satisfy ourselves that mere prejudice is not blinding us to the possibility that western liberals are wrong; that the Republicans' grand strategy is getting somewhere.
My own contacts say that the situation is improving, but remains precarious.Still, Hastings fights manfully against the temptation to be wholly negative:
It is hard to derive much comfort from statistics that show a diminution in clashes between insurgents and security forces.
The most powerful reason for remaining cautious about Iraq must be doubt -- shared by many US officers -- about whether the country is sustainable as a unitary state.
It seems wrong for either neocon true believers or liberal skeptics to rush to judgment. We of the latter persuasion must keep reciting the mantra: "We want Iraq to come right, even if this vindicates George Bush."Irresistibly, the old addiction to nuance and multi-lateralism resurfaces, but only in the final paragraph:
Those who say that Iraqis are incapable of making a democracy work may well be proved right. But until we see what happens on the ground over the months ahead, we should not write off the possibility that the Iraqi people will forge some sort of accommodation. A premature coalition withdrawal promises catastrophe for them, not us.
Yet it still seems reasonable to question the optimism currently prevailing among Washington's neocons, because this remains founded upon a woefully simplistic vision. It is true that, in some chronic, unstable regions, some bad governments those of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein have been removed by the Americans. But the fragile advantages gained will be lost, unless Washington can match its boldness in the deployment of military power with a new sensitivity to alien cultures, matched by far more subtle political skills.Ironically, the "simplistic" Bush approach was what, during the Reagan administration, liberals used to call "common sense". American firepower employed in taking out the most egregious dictatorships was precisely what we demanded. The fact that the US did not drop its ("futile" and "counterproductive") cold war with the Soviet Union to clean up the stinking torture states of the third world was irrefutable evidence of its greed, corruption and domination by big business. Now that the USSR is gone -- and, I am cynically inclined to add, no longer in need of liberal support -- the same factors are adduced as motivations of Bush's interventionism.
What Hastings needs to remember is that the word "neocon" which he so glibly tosses around is not an epithet but has a precise meaning: a former liberal who has seen the value of conservative principles. In that light, it is hardly surprising that Bush has taken the liberal foreign policy recommendations of the '80s and actually made them work.

Addendum: In citing Bruce Cockburn's Rocket Launcher, it occurs to me that the entire song is worth quoting in this context:
Here comes the helicopter -- second time todayWell, Bruce, we do have a rocket launcher.
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay
I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate
On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for Guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate
I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

Alisher Usmanov has confirmed that he has decided to sell his shares in Arsenal to majority shareholder Stan Kroenke.
The Russian business magnate, who doesn't have a seat on the board or have a say in running the club, will receive £550m for his 30 per cent stake in the club.
Usmanov's decision to sell his stake in the Gunners comes after previously failing to buy out Kroenke, with the American outlining his decision to complete a full takeover at the Emirates on Tuesday morning.
Now with Usmanov set to leave north London, rumours of the 64-year-old investing in Everton have been doing the rounds once again.
In a statement from Red and White Holdings Limited, the businessmen confirmed his decision to sell his stake and took a sly dig by claiming that Arsenal "could be the best football club in the world".
The statement read: "Red and White Holdings Limited ("Red and White"0 today confirms that Mr Alisher Usmanov has given an irrevocable undertaking to KSE, UK, Inc. to accept the Offer in respect of Red and White Securities' entire holding of 18,659 Arsenal shares (representing approximately 30.05 per cent) for an agreed price of £29,419.64 per share in cash valuing Red and White Securities' stake at just over £550 million."
Usmanov said: "I have decided to sell my shares in Arsenal Football Club which could be the best football club in the world.
"I wish all the best and great success to this wonderful football club and to all those whose lives and careers are entwined in it."

In the spring of 2016, Dr. Alissa Ackerman and her colleague, Dr. Marshall Burns published a study in the Justice Policy Journal.
Abstract: Data on the recidivism rates of individuals convicted of sex crimes varies considerably across studies. Both academic papers and government reports have assessed various forms of recidivism for this group, with different findings. The vast majority of the public believes that people convicted of sex crimes will inevitably reoffend and this is the premise upon which most related legislation is based. However, this premise is based on false and misleading information contained in numerous published reports. After a review of 287 studies of recidivism statistics, we selected seven that exhibit the most egregious misinformation and that have been the most influential in shaping governmental policy. We examine these seven studies thoroughly to better understand their definitions, interpretation, and presentation of recidivism data. We then seek to resolve discrepancies and to determine what can legitimately be said about sex-crime recidivism. We then discuss new revelations about recidivism and sex crimes vis-a-vis our analysis and we offer suggestions for future research.

Please come along and let your children try the sport. The training takes place next to the club house – so close to an endless supply of hot drinks and bacon rolls! Training lasts for about 90 minutes (with occasional drink and snack breaks) – or longer if the sun is out. We cannot guarantee that any of the players will play for England, win a world cup or become global super stars, but we can promise that they will have fun and be given back to you happy and exhausted!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian lender VTB on Wednesday revised its data on exposure to foreign borrowers to remove reference to a $12 billion loan to Central African Republic (CAR) which it said had been entered due to a clerical error.
The mention of the loan was included in a quarterly VTB financial report published on Tuesday by the Russian central bank on outstanding financial claims that VTB group had on dozens of countries as of Oct. 1 this year.
Asked by Reuters about the loan, which is roughly 12 times CAR's annual economic output, VTB said on Tuesday there was no such loan, and that it had been included in the data by mistake.
A new version of the quarterly data was published on the central bank's website on Wednesday, with no mention of CAR among the countries on which VTB had outstanding claims.
The data for VTB group claims on borrowers in Cyprus had also been revised, to 1,035,975,600,000 roubles ($15.40 billion), from 234,041,779,000 roubles ($3.48 billion) in the data that was published by the central bank a day earlier.
VTB Chief Executive Andrey Kostin was quoted as saying by Russia's RBC television channel that bank staff had mixed up Cyprus with CAR when compiling the initial data.

At the time a project contract is signed, everyone is generally optimistic and cordial whether it was competitively and openly bid on (a complete set of documents) or designed and built with just a concept of the final product. Yet, you know that the "honeymoon" phase of a construction project is usually over when the first change orders start rolling in. It seems that no one likes changes.
There is no law stating that there has to be change orders. Unless it specifically allows the owner to make changes, all construction contracts are changeless contracts. If a contract states, "I will pay you $X to do Y scope of work, the contractor can't be forced to do any more or be entitled to do any less work than Y. Also, the owner can't be forced to pay more or be entitled to pay less than $X. If a general contractor does not make a similar agreement with a subcontractor, the subcontractor can't be forced to agree to a change either. Without a changes clause, there can only be a change if both sides agree. This gives the contractor leverage — the contractor could refuse to make the change unless he or she was paid what was demanded.
However, most construction contracts do have change clauses. Contractors don't want to do work that they won't be promptly paid for. So, are there any steps that contractors can take to improve collections on change orders? There are some obvious steps contractors can take:
Give notice that you consider something to be a change.
Read your contract. It probably requires that you notify your customer if you think that something is a change — even a no-cost change. If you don't give this notice, you may never be able to collect a dime. Often, if the owner understands that something is extra and how much more money and time it will take, he will change his mind about the change entirely.
Demand a written order to do the change.
There is often pressure on the contractor to "just do it" with the assurance that "it will be worked out later." Who wants to tell a customer that you need it in writing from his boss? Yet, that's what the contract probably says — and you can expect that most courts and arbitrators will enforce this clause. So, make them follow the contract if you want to get paid.
Negotiate contract terms for prompt payment for changes.
Contractors are not bankers, but they can end up financing a lot of extra work. It is now common for clauses to provide that only the disputed portion of a change can be held back. Also, the owner is usually required to front half the estimated cost of the extra work until it can be finalized even as to the disputed part. Such provisions help to level the playing field between owners and contractors.
Negotiate contract terms to verify the customer has money to pay for the change.
While most owners borrow enough to cover their contract cost, they may not have borrowed enough to cover extras. A contract term that allows a contractor to ask for confirmation from the lender that there are sufficient funds to cover the extra work is no longer unusual. These days, banks are more likely than ever to insist that they know about changes and approve them to protect their investments.
Take time extensions into account.
Contractors who do not think to ask for time extensions as part of changes could end up paying liquidated damages that they don't owe. Extra time also frequently generates additional field overhead, including temporary utilities, storage trailers, insurance, etc.
Consult with all trades about the impact of a change.
Just because the change is to reroute ductwork doesn't mean that an electrician, plumber, fire sprinkler or other subcontractor won't also be affected.
Reserve lien rights for unresolved changes.
Many lien waivers are drafted to give up lien rights for all work as of a certain date. If work has been done on changes, but not yet paid for, signing such a lien waiver could be giving up rights. Make sure that you tailor the lien waiver form to accurately reflect what should or shouldn't be covered.
Fully document specific costs of the change.
The moment work is started on a change, the contractor should assign a separate number to that work and record all expenses to that number. Contractors lose a lot of money because, months or years later, they can't prove how much the extra work actually cost.
Know your state's prompt-pay law.
Most state prompt-pay laws don't deal with the subject of changes specifically and admittedly are grey areas. However, by tightening up your contract terms, record-keeping and billing procedures, you can fall within provisions that give you attorney's fees and steep interest if you have to collect - this alone often prompts an owner to pay up quickly.

Sounders Insider
Schmid: Crackdown on simulation needed
Jhon Kennedy Hurtado wasn't around in the locker room to discuss the red card he picked up in the 39th minute of Seattle's 2-1 loss to Salt Lake. And coach Sigi Schmid implied he didn't get a good enough look to complain much about Alvaro Saborio's backwards fall to the CenturyLink turf. However, he seemed suspicious.
"I haven't seen the replay," Schmid said. "The referee has a tough job. It's hard for him to make the call not having the benefit of seeing the replay. The thing the bothers me is if it was simulation. If a player goes down holding his face when he didn't get hit in the face, I think that's an issue. I think that's unprofessional, and I think that's something the league really needs to start looking at and start addressing. And again, I don't know, I haven't seen the replay personally, so I don't know if he got hit in the face, or if he got hit in the chest. But certainly from his actions on the field, he reacted as if he got hit in the face."
Interestingly, Real coach Jason Kreis seemed even more skeptical of the call.
"I would go further and say I don't think Seattle's red card was warranted," he said. "I don't think their player elbowed Alvaro Saborio on purpose. I just think the referee made some bad decisions."

I started about a month ago with a mission to take a picture everyday or 365 pictures over the next year and post them on Instagram with the unique hash tag #TRS365. It's been a challenge to post a picture a day, but it's also been fun to challenge myself to search the TRS offices and find a picture to take. My background is in journalism, and what's interesting to me is finding things around the office that might be new or a little different. I like to see changes in things.
So if you want to find out what's new or a little different at The Right Solutions, follow me on Instagram as I post a picture every day. If you haven't already, you will need to download the Instagram app (click for Apple iOS or Android device) on your smart phone or tablet and set up an account to follow me.
Once you do that, search for the pictures using the hash tag #TRS365. It'll be fun, and you might learn a little something about me and the staff here at The Right Solutions. Click here to find the pictures so far.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) Launches Health Care-Focused Campaign
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) on Monday launched a four-day, health care-centered campaign, saying that President Bush has "ignor[ed] a health care crisis in America" and that his proposals would "cure a 'badly broken' system," the Los Angeles Times reports (La Ganga, Los Angeles Times, 5/11). At Edinboro University in Pennsylvania, the first stop in the campaign, Kerry said, "We need a president who understands our health care crisis is unacceptable. We need a president who has a plan to fix it. I do." (Johnson, Boston Globe, 5/11). "Instead of talking about universal access and the estimated 43 million uninsured Americans," Kerry "emphasized costs, a hot-button issue for both middle-class voters and businesses," the New York Times reports. Kerry stood before a banner that read: "Affordable health care means a stronger America" (Wilgoren, New York Times, 5/11). Kerry did not introduce any new proposals, but he "spotlighted his plan to reduce health care costs" (Los Angeles Times, 5/11). His plan is designed to cut costs "by retooling or expanding existing government programs," the Washington Post reports (VandeHei, Washington Post, 5/11). Kerry would expand a range of public health insurance programs such as SCHIP and Medicaid (California Healthline, 5/6). The plan also calls for the federal government to assume the cost of workers whose care exceeds $50,000 per year. Kerry also plans to control costs by giving the HHS secretary the ability to negotiate prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies for Medicare beneficiaries; allowing people in the United States to buy drugs from Canada, where they are often cheaper; and prohibiting people from filing malpractice lawsuits unless a specialist determined that a reasonable claim existed. His plan, which would cost an estimated $653 billion over the next decade, would be paid by repealing Bush's tax cuts for families with annual incomes higher than $200,000 (Los Angeles Times, 5/11). Kerry said, "Mine is a plan that will cut soaring premiums, cut the waste, cut the greed, and cut Americans a good deal" (New York Times, 5/11). Kerry intends to target key battleground states with his health care-focused campaign, meeting in Kentucky, Florida and Arkansas with health care workers and those who have struggled to pay for care (California Healthline, 5/10).
To "buttress the argument that Mr. Bush has done little to control health care costs," Kerry's campaign handed out a 13-page report Monday, detailing "grim statistics, most from recent research by the Kaiser Family Foundation," the New York Times reports (New York Times, 5/11). Kerry also used data from the U.S. Census and HHS, according to the Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles Times, 5/11). According to the report released by Kerry, the average health plan premium for a family of four has increased $2,777 since 2000, bringing the total cost to $9,549 per year (Washington Post, 5/11). The campaign also e-mailed a 50-second video message to about 250,000 supporters (Los Angeles Times, 5/11). The video shows Bush in January 2000, saying, "I'll have the goal, the idea of making sure people have got affordable health care and insurance policies to make sure they're able to pay for them." The video states, "Under Bush, family premiums have increased $2,777," and "Bush has no plan to lower rates" (Glover, AP/Miami Herald, 5/10).
While Bush officials "did not dispute the numbers" that Kerry's campaign cited, they said "those costs have been on an upward trajectory for more than three decades, not just three years," the Post reports (Washington Post, 5/11). According to the New York Times, the Bush campaign also "accused Kerry of skipping votes" on the Medicare legislation while he was campaigning. Stephanie Cutter, Kerry's communications director, said that Kerry had returned to Capitol Hill to try to block the prescription drug bill, but "when that effort failed, and it was clear the bill would pass, Kerry felt it was more important to get back on the campaign trail and talk to seniors about their needs and how to address those needs" (New York Times, 5/11). In a conference call with reporters, House Ways and Means Chair Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) said, "John Kerry's health care plan would raise taxes and increase government bureaucracy without doing anything to decrease health care costs for American families" (Boston Globe, 5/11). Thomas, "speaking on behalf of the Bush campaign, said that Kerry had not pushed [such] ideas during his 20 years in the Senate," the Washington Post reports (Washington Post, 5/11). Bush's aides added that Kerry has not fully detailed how he would pay for all of his health care plans (Memmott, USA Today, 5/11).
The following broadcast programs included segments on Kerry's health proposals:
- CNN's "Inside Politics" on Monday reported on health care proposals from Kerry and Bush (Woodruff, "Inside Politics," CNN, 5/10). The complete transcript is available online.
- NPR's "Morning Edition" on Tuesday included an interview with Tom Fiedler, executive editor of the Miami Herald, and Carl Wernicke, opinion page editor of the Pensacola New Journal, about presidential campaign issues in Florida, including health care (Inskeep, "Morning Edition," NPR, 5/11). The complete segment is available online in RealPlayer.

Use of the controversial Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (Ripa) by local authorities will now require the approval of a magistrate and use of "directed surveillance" will be confined to cases where the offence carries a maximum custodial sentence of at least six months.
It means councils will be unable to use the surveillance cameras on those leaving out their bins on the wrong day but an exception will be made for investigations into the underage sale of alcohol and tobacco.
However other measures, including access to telephone billing and the use of undercover officers, will still be permitted for less serious cases.
Detention before charge has already been dropped from 28 days to 14 but draft emergency legislation will be drawn up to be introduced to parliament in response to "multiple co-ordinated attacks or during multiple large and simultaneous investigations" to allow for a return to 28 days.
Random stop and search powers under section 44 of the Terrorism Act are to be repealed and replaced with a new power that limits its use to smaller geographical areas and a shorter time period.
No change is to be made to legislation banning groups that espouse hatred or violence, after the review found that such measures would be "disproportionate and possibly ineffective."

TechCrunch reported that Instagram is currently testing School Stories that only students from certain schools could use or see. To ensure that it would not turn into bullying cesspools, the code has a warning that any School Stories will be reviewed manually to ensure the safety of the community.
School Stories could help in creating a fun environment for kids when sharing with their peers. However, they could still worsen some teen culture issues.
Jane Manchun Wong first spotted the code for School Stories. It detailed some of its features. Unfortunately, the company did not comment on it yet.
Stories that are specific to certain schools might be similar to other school-based programs that IG tested.
Last summer, it experimented on a groups feature for students. It was intended for college students that were currently enrolled.
In here, users who were invited to a school's group on the said social media platform could view the member's public Stories. They could send a direct message from the community lists.
The concept follows the beginnings of Facebook, Instagram's parent company, that started as a social networking platform exclusive for college students. The service was designed for students enrolled in a university, even alumni were not included.
Snapchat also tested on school stories in 2015. But it was just short-lived. The feature was called Our Campus Story. For some students who got to use it stated that they had fun using it but it did not last long.
Instagram has published several features since its founders left the company. In the past years, we saw a lot of converging features on Facebook and Instagram that make them similar. For instance, they both have Stories feature.
It has come a long way, from being an exclusive image-sharing platform to making it useful for users and businesses. Last month, the company gave us more updates that could further assist marketers in accomplishing their goals.
For example, Instagram now allows you to upload longer Story. That is, you can now upload a video that is more than 15 seconds. However, a minute long video will be split into 15-second sections.
It also rolled out quick replies for DMs. This feature lets you save your replies so you do not have to repeat yourself. It is a vital tool for social media marketers. In here, you can save those generic responses that you can utilize frequently for your followers. But you can easily customize them.
Marketers receive often asked questions. They also have the same interactions every time. With this feature, they can easily save their response, pull it up, customize it as needed and send it again.
Instagram has done significant updates and changes to the app since its first launched. It has evolved slowly with a stream of updates.
The School Story might not be the most anticipated updates. However, among the latest updates, it has released, the most useful is the saved replies feature.
What do you think of the School Story? Should Instagram roll it out?

I know it has been so long since I blogged. Even after saying I would be back the day after my last post, to be honest when mum and dad went back home Sunday I slept my day away. I needed it.
The first time I realised I was growing up and genuinely felt like an adult was the day I saw my best friend get married. I stood beside my friend of 20 years as she exchanged vows and made promises to her life partner. The moment hit me like a tonne of bricks, all of a sudden I had to hold myself together, there was a split second I had to think about food just so I wouldn't interrupt the ceremony with a loud sob.
NO! I lie… yes I calmed myself and then it hit me at this moment but the very first time I took a second to process what was happening today was when we were about to leave the house, getting some last photos. My best friend and her mum (my 2nd mum) got a photo together and I stood there capturing it in my mind. I looked at her mum and started to cry "my sister is getting married" I said to her. I could not hold back the tears; and then the ceremony happened.
As I was standing up there listening to the I do's I couldn't help but look at Luke and know there is no one I would rather share this moment with than him. Not only did I get to share this moment with my best friend but also the man I want for my life. I felt nothing but joy for her and her new husband and super excited for their future together.
So much has happened since then; Lukes' sister had a baby boy as did my older sister, my best friend (as previously mentioned) had her second boy, my boss literally just had her first child, Both older sisters bought a house each and we are getting married this year and possibly buying ourselves a house. GOSH! Time is flying, have to remember to stop and smell the baked goods.
I love baked goods.

The night train we boarded to Paris had 2 separate classes, but like our night train between Vienna and Venice, we hadn't been able to get a triple compartment. Thus there was an additional stranger sharing a cabin the room for 4. The double sharing cabin in the front section was pretty nice though. As it was close to midnight by the time the train arrived, we were ready for bed by departure and after our passports and ticket train stub has been collected by the conductor. While I knew this was the standard procedure, there wasn't any need for us to surrender our passport during out night train to Venice. I suspect that since this train passes by Switzerland, there will be a passport check during the journey by the Swiss authorities.
The ride during this train ride is expected to be smoother since it passes mainly plains and flatlands after crossing into France, while the Vienna to Venice train passes the Italian Alps. Still, it wasn't the most comfortable way to travel, and perhaps might be my last night train journey. Before arrival into Paris we weren't provided any breakfast either, though every passenger had a bottle of water for them to quench their thirst throughout the night. One major qualms about taking night trains, though was that most night trains run older locomotives and usually arrive at older train stations. In this case, our arrival was at Paris Bercy, as opposed to the more modern and larger Gare de Lyon which is a short 5 minute walk away from Bercy. As our rental car agency, Europcar/National was located opposite Gare de Lyon, we had a short but nice walk under the Parisian sunny morning. Weather in Paris was cool similar to that of Hamburg and makes for a very relaxed walk towards Gare de Lyon. Turns out the rental car agency is located in a building across the Gare de Lyon and connected via an overhead bridge. All the major car rental agencies like Hertz, Avis and Sixt had their counters here and there are also several cafes where we had out breakfast. I ordered a continental breakfast and english breakfast set to share between 3 of us before collecting our car. Having initially booked a Citroen C5 or similar car, I was pretty disappointed to be given a Peugeot 5008 which is a medium sized MPV as I prefer saloons. The agent, though mentioned it was an upgrade. We were given keys to the car, the parking coupon and headed down to the car park. Apparently the car had just been cleaned and placed in a location totally different as said on the key fob. Thus it took some time for us to find the car before settling in and adjusting the seats, getting used to the controls and setting the sat-nav. The car was spacious, allowing 5 to be seated comfortably with ample luggage compartment. I didn't really like the hard support the seat provides and the large feel of this car, which makes it less nimble. We were however soon on our way towards Versailles from Paris. After a slight delay from the outer ring road in Paris due to traffic, we soon reached Versailles, with the help of the sat-nav that has an English language compatibility.
The large parking lot outside the Château de Versailles was convenient though it has to be mentioned pricing was quite expensive here. Making our way towards the Château de Versailles, we noticed the palace being located in a slightly higher ground elevation and was magnificently decorated in gold allowing it to shine in the morning sun. It is without doubt as to why many palaces including Schönbrunn and Charlottenburg have tried to copy the grandeur of this palace. History buffs would know that this palace was also the scene of drama during the French revolution which forced Louis XVI and his wife to flee the palace grounds before being caught later on. Fronted by a large courtyard, visitors need to head left upon entering to find a ticket and information booth and queues for the public restrooms. A small archway beside the public restroom also leads to the gardens of the Château which was beautiful during this time in summer. From this area, one can admire the architecture of the palace and view the exterior of the Grand Appartement de la Reine or the Queen's Apartment.
After the short walk around the gardens, we entered a new modern visitor's entrance to the palace after showing out tickets and was greeted with the inner courtyard as well as the marble courtyard directly outside the King's apartment. This section of the palace has got to be the most beautiful with its amazing array of colours and golden roof linings. Crossing past the marble courtyard into the starting point of the tour, one is greeted by the vast royal chapel or chapelle royale.
A staircase allows visitors from the ground floor to reach the Tribune Royale and obtain a great view of the Royal Chapel, as seen by the Royal family when they hear mass. The adjoining chamber leads to the Salon d'Hercule where 2 famous paintings reside at. The most mesmerizing point of view in my opinion, though has got to be the Apotheosis of Hercules, which gave this salon its name. The ceiling mural would give visitors the impression of being in Olympus amongst the gods.
The next few chambers along the hallway are exactly a tribute to the gods at that time from the Diane, Vénus, Mars, Mercure and Apollon. The Vénus salon had buffet tables displayed with flowers and pyramids full of fruit and marzipan treats for the King's guests. The Diane salon served as a billiard room during Louis XIV's reign and had platforms for lady guests to applaud the king's skillful play. The Mars salon, initially intended as a guardroom with its military theme, was made into use for music and dance, and utilized as a ballroom. The Mercure salon served as a ceremonial bedchamber though the bed might be removed in winter to make space for gaming tables and had decorations with a silver theme. The last Apollo salon was originally the most sumptous room as Louis XIV identified himself with the sun-god and had this room dedicated to music or a concert room. Though the silver furniture and magnificent throne has been melted down. It is worth noting that busts of Louis XIV decorates all the salons and wonderful ceiling murals depicting each of the gods the room is named after ensure that there will be much to see during this section of the palace.
From the Grand Appartement du Roi or the Grand Apartment of the King, there is the room of War which leads to the Hall of Mirrors, perhaps the most splendid room in the palace. As the name implies, rows of mirrors line this long hallway which connects the War and Peace Room as well as the Grand Appartment du Roi with the Grand Appartment de la Reine or the Grand Apartment of the Queen. The Hall of Mirrors has windows on one side which overlooks the vast gardens of the palace. A small connecting room from this hall brings visitors to the Chambre Louis XIV.
King Louis XIV's bedchamber is actually made up of 3 chambers which he converted for his own sleeping chamber as well as the Chamber of Council where he held audiences every morning. Its location facing the easterly direction was to ensure the morning sun enters the chamber to greet his day. The rooms also face the main entrance and marble courtyard of the palace. As expected the bedchamber of Louis XIV is lavishly decorated and had a grandiose bed facing the window towards the morning sun. And like the other parts of the palace, busts, statues and potraits of Louis XIV decorates the chamber, showing his vanity.
From the Chambre Louis XIV, one exits onto the Hall of Mirrors again before heading to the Peace Room which is at opposite ends to the War Room. The Peace Room leads to the Grand Appartement de la Reine which is the Queen's Private Quarters. A similar number of chambers line this wing of the palace with rooms symmetrical to the salons in the Grand Appartement du Roi, before ending with the Guards Room which was the place where guards stood by to protect the royal family. It was here that guards warned Queen Marie Antoinette on the impending revolution reaching the palace gates, thus allowing the royal family to flee from Versailles. The next section of the guided tour involves visiting the History of France Galleries where the highlight has got to be the Salon Napoleon with 3 giant paintings depicting Napoleon during his campaign for Europe.
With the satisfying lunch, we walked back to our car glad and headed out of Versailles towards the Loire Valley. Having seen the travel brochure for France during my University days, and read a book on the Châteaux de la Loire, I just had to visit these magnificent castles of France's first kings. However coming back to think of it, given that I had limited time and was tired from my train ride from Milan, it was probably not such a great idea. The drive from Versailles to our first stop which was Chambord took around 2 hours though the drive was relaxing enough across France's motorways which allowed me to drive the rental Peugeot 5008 to a very rapid 150 km/h very easily. Europe's motorways are really great for high speed cruising, and I would perhaps be as happy renting a car for the trip as compared to taking the high-speed train. Upon reaching the small town of Chambord it isn't too difficult to miss the Château with well placed signage and help from the sat-nav. A long driveway past the Château hunting grounds showed the use of this castle as a hunting lodge for the Royal family and was as such during Louis XIV's reign. The chateau was built by François I and today is the largest of the chateaus along the Loire Valley and perhaps one of the most magnificent with its intricate roof spires and grand scale.
After passing the driveway, there was a paid parking area for motorists and it was a short walk passing by several gift shops and a small refreshment store before the castle comes into sight. The architecture of the Château de Chambord was in the Renaissance style and was more elegant and beauty than about fortifications. The highlight would have to be elaborate roof spires which was a sharp contrast to the clean masonry, and was meant to resemble a town skyline. As it was already late when we arrived at Chambord, we did not enter the chateau and left within the hour which permitted us free parking upon exit. Our next destination was our lodging within the Loire Valley at Amboise, which meant we had still around 2 hours of driving distance. The drive to Amboise from Chambord would perhaps have been a very scenic drive if not for the drizzle we enountered along the way. The wet and cloudy day might have dampened our spirits but I thought it was interesting to pass by the route that François I took to travel between Chambord and his primary residence at Blois and Amboise, both of which are much larger towns and have significant royal chateaus of their own. It is also worth noting that both of these towns serve as great lodging areas for its wide array of restaurants and convenient amenities. We passed by Blois first before driving along the Loire river for which the valley is named after to reach our lodging at Le Manoir Les Minimes. Initially a monastery, this elegant small mansion with a well manicured courtyard had nice views of the Loire river and the Château d'Amboise.
However as a small 2 storey establishment, there wasn't any elevators, but the desk manager on duty was very helpful in bringing our luggage upstairs to our corner suite which we booked. There was also ample parking along the courtyard for guests which was nice and I spotted an Aston Martin as well in the car park lot. With our luggage settled in, we headed out to get some mineral water and dinner which was easy to find in the centre of town. Amboise and Blois are both pretty straightforward towns with a town centre revolving around their prominent chateau and it was easy to find grocery stores and restaurants in these towns and there were more choices as well. We chose a small French restaurant just behind the Château d'Amboise for our dinner location and we had some French specialties including an order of escargot, duck confit, sauteed fish and of course chocolate dessert. The food was pretty good for a small town restaurant and had reasonable prices. The restaurants in town seems to be pretty full and this was our second choice as our first choice was already packed. There was a heavy tourist flow into Amboise by what appears that night.
It was night time as we returned to our hotel and I took this opportunity to venture around the mansion. The first storey of the mansion is dedicated to a small entrance foyer, the reception area underneath the staircase, and a small lounge with computer and internet facilities on the left room. On the right from the foyer lies a bar area and the restaurant and cafe where breakfast is an extra cost for guests of the hotel. Overall the hotel was very nicely decorated and furnished and it gave guests the nice ambience of living in a noble French mansion. We booked the Suite Prestige which would have comfortably sleep 4 person, as the separate living area has a double sofa bed and the main bedroom was fitted with a king bed. Both rooms had LCD TVs and seating areas with a small dining table on the living area. A large bathroom also made the room very comfortable! Another thing to note was the very classy decor in the room, that while given the traditional wallpaper, does not feel antiquated or intimidating. In fact the decor goes very well indeed with the overall theme giving the authenticity of living in a countryside mansion. I would really love to come back to this hotel for an extended visit in the Loire Valley.
Speaking of which, I do recommend visiting the Loire Valley once if one is interested in castles and kings. Besides the rich history, the place would be very beautiful under the correct weather and has ample architectural landmarks that will make up for more than a day's worth of sightseeing!

transforming it into a handle
you could lift the cage with.
Here are suitcases full of shaved differentials,
bowling balls, ploughshare parts,
bags whose contents give the impression
their owners do squat-thrusts
on the decks of submarines
at Captain Nemo Camps for aspiring
middle management cadre.
Here are Siberian tigers from a zoo in Calgary
being transported to an outdoor game park
in Granby. Here's the pat on the back
(more like a shove) a co-worker gave you
as you bent towards their cage, the roar,
his grin as you sprang backwards.
Here are those returning DC-8s from Acapulco:
the giant sombreros of weekend vaqueros
still tipsy at the baggage carousel,
hand-carved collapsible corner tables
for suburban rumpus rooms
where Mexican hat-dances on a patio

U.S. Coast Guard 5th District Mid-Atlantic
Coast Guard assists man aboard sinking boat 7 miles east of Deltaville, VA
Editors' Note: Click on images to download high resolution version.
CAPE CHARLES, Va. — The Coast Guard assisted a mariner aboard a 24-foot recreational boat more than seven miles east of Deltaville, Wednesday morning.
The mariner notified Coast Guard Station Cape Charles watchstanders via VHF-FM channel 16 that his boat was taking on water on the Rappahannock River.
A 45-foot Response Boat-Medium rescue crew launched from Station Cape Charles to provide assistance.
The Coast Guard crew used a P-6 dewatering pump to remove water from the vessel and escorted the mariner to Broad Creek.
"Mariners should be prepared for emergencies, because you never know what's going to happen on the water," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Joshua Heilman, coxswain for the case. "Bringing a dewatering device can prevent your vessel from sinking."

APA's council takesactionon pressingEarmarks $3 million
Monitor Executive EditorRecognizing the growing imbalance between the number of psychology graduate students who need a clinical internship to complete their degree requirementsand the availability of those internships, APA's Council ofRepresentatives voted to fund a $3 million internship stimulusprogram to increase the number of accredited internshippositions. The funding is expected to help as many as 150
The money will help offset program expenses in such areas as
application and site visit fees, program consultation fees and
intern stipends and benefits. The typical maximum grant to an
individual program will not exceed $20,000. Funding will be
available starting this fall through an application process.
APA has called on the entire psychology graduate education
community to work together in the face of the imbalance
problem. The association's goal, in addition to ensuring that
all students are able to complete their graduate training, is to
ensure quality in all facets of that training. APA is particularly
concerned that students who complete unaccredited internships
limit their future career opportunities.

The Story – Week 14
Kings on Parade
I Kings 15:1-16:28 (2 Chronicles 13-16)
Were it not for the overruling hand of a sovereign God, the Jewish nation could never have accomplished what God called them to do: bearing witness of the one true and living God, writing the Scriptures, and bringing the Savior into the world. There were now two kingdoms instead of one, and leaders and common people in both kingdoms had departed from the Lord to serve idols. The priests still carried on the temple ministry in Judah, but during the 345 years from Rehoboam to Zedekiah, only eight of Judah's nineteen kings were classified as "good." As for Israel's twenty kings, for the most part they were all self-seeking men who were classified as "evil." Some were better than others, but none was compared with David.
Keep in mind that the books of Kings and Chronicles don't record history from exactly the same perspective. The focus in 1 and 2 Kings is on the kings of Israel, but in 1 and 2 Chronicles, the emphasis is on David's dynasty in Judah. The northern kingdom of Israel, later called Samaria, is mentioned in Chronicles only when it had dealings with Judah. Another thing to remember is that the two kingdoms used different systems in keeping official records. In Judah, the king's reign was counted from the beginning of the next calendar year after he began his reign, while in Israel, the count began with the year the king actually ascended the throne. Also, some kings had their sons as co-regents during the closing years of their reign. These factors complicate calculating how long some kings reigned, and this helps us understand why biblical chronologists don't always agree.
A dynasty continues (15:1-24; 2 Chronicles 13-16)
The northern kingdom of Israel had nine dynasties in about 250 years while the Southern kingdom faithfully maintained the Davidic dynasty for 350 years, and that was the dynasty from which the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of David, would come (Matthew 1:1). With all of its faults, the kingdom of Judah was identified with the true and living God, practiced authorized worship in the temple, and had kings who came from David's family. Two of these kings are named in these chapters – Abijah and Asa.
Abijah (vv. 1-8; 2 Chronicles 13)
This son of Rehoboam was handpicked by his father because of his proven ability but he wasn't a godly man. He reigned only three years (913-910). He was from David's line through both parents, for David's son Absalom was Abijah's paternal grandfather. Abijah may have had David's blood flowing in his veins, but he didn't have David's perfect heart beating in his breast. Abijah's father, Rehoboam, had kept up a running war with Jeroboam, and Abijah carried on the tradition.
However, Abijah knew his history and had faith in what God said to Moses and David. He had the courage to preach a sermon to Jeroboam and his army of 800,000 men, twice as large as Judah's army, reminding them of the true foundation for the Jewish faith (2 Chron. 12:4dd.). For his platform, he used Mount Zemaraim, a prominent place located on the border between Benjamin and Israel (Joshua 18:22). He opened his sermon by reminding Jeroboam that the line of David was the true royal dynasty as stated in God's unchanging covenant with David (vv. 4-5; 2 Samuel 7). The phrase "covenant of salt" means "a perpetual covenant" (Numbers 18:19).
Asa (vv. 9-24; 2 Chron. 14-16)
Abijah's son Asa ruled for forty-one years (910-869). He began his reign with a heart like that of David (I Kings 15:11; 2 Chron. 14:2), but though a good king for most of his life, during the last five years of his reign, he rebelled against the Lord. The word "mother" in 15:10 should be "grandmother" for it refers to the same person mentioned in v. 2l. The Jewish people didn't identify relatives with the same precision we do today.
Unlike David, whose heart was sincere before the Lord, Asa's heart was divided – one day trusting the Lord and the next day trusting in the arm of flesh. A perfect heart isn't a sinless heart but a heart wholly yielded to the Lord and fully trusting Him. King Asa revealed the wickedness of his heart by becoming angry, rejecting the prophet's message, and putting him in prison. Apparently some of the people opposed Asa's foreign policy and his mistreatment of God's servant, so the king brutally oppressed them.
God gave Asa time to repent, but he refused to do so. Asa was a man who made a good beginning and lived a life of faith, but when it came to his final years, rebelled against the Lord. The people made a very great bonfire in his honor, but in God's sight, the last years of Asa went up in smoke (1 Corinthians 3:13-15).
A dynasty concludes (15:25-16:22)
At this point, the historian turns to the account of the kings of Israel and will remain there until the end of the book. The story of the kings of Judah is found primarily in 2 Chronicles. David's dynasty is mentioned in 1 and 2 Kings only where there is some interaction between Judah and Israel. The dynasty that began with Jeroboam is now about to end.

Online Images Can Carry Location Data, Leave Users Vulnerable to "Cybercasing"
August 30, 2010
Photos and videos posted on Web sites such as Craigslist and Twitter can carry detailed information about where the images were taken, according to researchers at the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI). This may leave them vulnerable to "cybercasing," the use of geo-tagged information available online to mount attacks in the real world.
In an ICSI technical report published May 2, Gerald Friedland and Robin Sommer reported that they were able to identify where images posted online were captured. This information is automatically embedded by higher-end digital cameras and smart phones, such as the iPhone. People who post these images are often unaware that they are also posting data about their location.
Friedland and Sommer cross-referenced the latitude and longitude embedded in images with publicly available information, such as Google Maps Street View, to quickly find where photos were taken. The researchers, for example, identified the home addresses of people who put photos on Craigslist, even when those posting the photos had opted to hide their real names and email addresses.
In one search of YouTube videos, the researchers were able to find users with homes near downtown Berkeley by searching the embedded geo-location data. They included the search term "kids" since many home videos are of users' children. They then searched for videos posted by the same users that had been filmed over 1000 miles away. Within fifteen minutes, the researchers were able to find a resident of Albany, California who was vacationing in the Caribbean, along with a dozen other users who might be vulnerable to burglary given the subject matter of the videos they had posted.
The results will be presented at the USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Security in August. The research has been featured on the ABC News Web site and in New Scientist magazine.

In the market for a new payroll provider or you're ready to get to the cloud? You've got some research ahead of you. You want to choose the best payroll service for your company; one that fits your needs and your company culture. You want a payroll provider you can trust with confidential information and rely on for support. You want a payroll service that can streamline your efforts and deliver results.
Finding the right talent for your company is a challenge even in the best of times. But with the job market growing ever more competitive, and the skills gap looming large, it's getting trickier to fill positions with highly-qualified candidates. For savvy and strategic recruiters, it doesn't have to be an impossible task, though. Here are a few best practices to help you sharpen your recruiting and staffing processes so that you can find and attract the strongest candidates:
For an HR manager, the onboarding process can potentially be a clipped, formal set of necessary steps. It's possible to limit the whole onboarding experience to covering legal bases and getting an employee's paperwork completed.
There is a lot of information out there and it's easy to get lost in the mix of it all. As a payroll manager, you've got plenty of duties. You may not even have time to do much of what you hope to accomplish in a single day. Why add a payroll blog to your already full plate?
Looking for top talent to fill your payroll manager role? You must create a job description that will attract the right candidates for the job. Managing a company's payroll and everything that goes with it is a big job. You want someone who is reliable, trustworthy, detail-oriented, good with numbers—and people.
