Sky Q to get voice control feature and 'favourites' menu
Sky Q customers will be able to change channels and play their favourite shows using their voice by the end of the month.
The voice control feature allows users to speak commands such as 'change channel to Sky Atlantic' or 'play The Walking Dead' into their remote.
Using phrases like 'go to Sky Store' or 'go to Sky Sports' will help customers jump to the relevant part of the Sky Q menu.
Accessibility settings can also be changed using the new feature by saying things such as 'turn on audio description' or 'turn on subtitles'.
Sky Q already has a voice search function, which Sky says has been used more than nine million times by customers.
Luke Bradley-Jones, Sky's chief marketing officer, said: "Our customers already love Voice Search on Sky Q and we think they are going to love Voice Control even more.
"You will be able to find your recordings, rewind an amazing goal to watch again or change channel all through a simple voice command. It's a quicker, easier and more fun way to get to the shows, sports and films you want to watch."
Sky is also launching a new 'Favourites' menu in the TV guide so customers can scroll to the channels they want quicker.
Sky Q will suggest an initial list based on viewing habits but users will be able to edit it.
Customers with a 2TB box will also get a dedicated Ultra HD section within My Q, helping them find a wider range of UHD content.
Sky, publishing its financial results today, said its investment in TV content was paying off as viewing to Sky channels had increased 10% year-on-year.
"The first series of our home-grown drama Riviera achieved 20m downloads, becoming our highest ever rated original commission," said CEO Jeremy Darroch, "and Game of Thrones has become the most watched series ever on Sky."
Mr Darroch also said 51% more customers were joining Sky than a year ago and the milestone of 60m subscription products (broadband, phone, pay TV and mobile) had been passed.

Our next stretch of trail took us into Bryce National Park and to elevations above 8,500 ft. We headed into the park via a dirt road in National Forest. Looking at our maps we realized that there were several canyons that led from the National Forest into the National Park. We didn't have permits to be camping in the Park so we found a route through a side canyon that stayed in the National Forest longer allowing us to camp outside of the Park boundary. The off route canyon we chose was appropriately named Ponderosa Canyon with large trees towering above us. As we climbed up the canyon we came across patches of snow and then entire hillsides covered in snow. Just before the Park boundary we found flat spot to string our tarp between two trees and while I set up our beds Goose made a small campfire for us to cook our quesadilla dinner over. The small fire kept us warm until we extinguished the coals and had to run from the icy air to the warmth of our down bags.
We awoke the following morning to frozen water bottles and had to melt chunks of ice to brew our coffee. We then headed of to rejoin the Hayduke Trail for an entire day of hiking through Bryce amongst thick forests of tall trees and towering cliffs red and orange striped hoodoos while walking over snow covered trails in a silent wilderness.
Although we began to descend in elevation after we left the southern Park boundaries we still experienced two more below freezing nights and days where we welcomed the sun on our skin to warm us from the cold winter air that blew through the blue skies. Although colder than we had experienced the days were gorgeous and we were enjoying the easier hiking on the trails and flat washed canyon floors.
We camped at one of our water caches just outside of the town of Kanab and in the morning we hiked about six miles to the highway where after about thirty minutes we were finally able to catch a ride into town. Goose had some new shoes to pick up (he had been walking the past 150+ miles in shoes that were a size too small) and we were both planning on grabbing a few additional warm layers to get us through the colder weather ahead. And of course we were thrilled for the opportunity to stuff ourselves with town food!

The social perks of being part of a team are well documented – whether it be a netball team made up of office workers, or a team of lads from the pub who partake in a spot of 5-a-side football once a week, or something more serious.
Team sports promote excellent physical, social and mental well-being in equal measure, giving frequent players an increased chance of living a long, healthy life. With that in mind, this article explores just how team sports contribute to this desirable lifestyle.
Reduce obesity
Obesity is a huge problem in the Western world these days. Not only is it a clear sign of ill-health, obesity can also lead to other health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.
Of course, such health defects can be caused by other underlying issues, but can often be detected via a simple DNA test. You may be thinking 'how much is a DNA test going to tell me about my overall health?', and the truth is, quite a lot.
By joining a sports team, weekly exercise will become part of your schedule, and can be the perfect release – particularly if you've been sitting in an office all day.
Boost your self-esteem
Enjoying success with your teammates whilst keeping fit and staying in shape is a great way to boost your self-esteem.
Incorporating frequent exercise into your schedule is likely to give you more energy, a greater level of self-confidence, and a more attractive appearance.
What's more, the endorphins released by the brain while in physical activity mode are vital to promoting overall natural mental health, keeping depression and stress at bay.
Improve brain function
Team sports such as football or cricket improve brain function and speed of reactions. The hand-eye coordination required to excel in cricket is a sign of sharp reflexes and excellent concentration skills, while football requires you to run at varying speeds while showing your creative and technical side.
Team sports are also a great way to keep in touch with acquaintances and make new friends. They also serve to eliminate 'brain fog', and many people report losing their inhibitions completely when they begin playing sport, due to the fun, interactive environment in which they take place.
Promotes competition
Playing a team sport from a young age can prepare you for the harsh realities of life, where competition is rife. This can be an excellent way of bringing out your competitive edge in an environment which is ultimately of little significance to the rest of your life.
This promotes an understanding that the combination of hard work and ability is the best way to achieve success. Excelling in this environment can provide a mental framework and stimulate success in other areas, particularly for youngsters.

The Medical Board in one state decided to post medical malpractice payouts on its website, but doing so has been met with opposition. The Board, who licenses and disciplines 22,000 doctors who practice in the state proposed displaying all malpractice payouts going seven years back. This last proposal comes as part of an overall effort to inform patients about their doctors. The state at hand is not alone in its proposal, 25 other states have done similar things. The people who oppose it, of course, are doctors and hospital, medical malpractice insurers, and defense attorneys, who dislike the rule in general, and the seven year retroactivity in particular. The Board's legal director, however, says that only one state who has similarly posted retroactively has faced a challenge, and that challenge failed. Last year the state legislature gave the Board approval to post the payouts, but also gave the Board free reign in deciding how to do so. The final decision will be made next month.
Posting medical malpractice payouts also has proponents, like Wanda Nicholson, who husband was partially paralyzed in his foot after a spine surgery. Wanda had checked the Board's existing file regarding the doctor before the surgery, but found nothing bad. After the surgery, Wanda found out that the doctor had had issues with other patients, and some patients may have even filed medical malpractice lawsuits.

Enforcement of major part of the Trump's executive order for sanctuary cities on immigration has been blocked by William Orrick, the US District Judge. This is a setback for Trump as the Judge has blocked the US administration's executive order that had provision for denial of funds to sanctuary cities in the US that harbor illegal immigrants. The Judge was quoted to have said that the US President has exceeded his constitutional authority in the executive order, quotes Indian Express.
The executive order signed by Trump had ordered the Justice department and the Department of Homeland Security to block federal funds to the cities that do not adhere to the instructions of the federal immigration enforcement authorities.
US District Judge William Orrick was quoted in his ruling as saying that the US President was surpassing the authority conferred on him by the constitution by attempting to penalize the governments at the local level that do not comply with his policies on immigration.
The Judge further elaborated in his order that as the scope of the executive order was applicable to the entire US, it was appropriate to issue an injunction effective for the entire nation. The injunction order issued by Orrick will remain in effect as long as it is not reversed by a higher judicial authority in the US.
Reacting to the injunction order, White House issued a statement saying that this is a repeated instance where in one district judge has disregarded immigration laws at the federal level and has pronounced a new immigration law that is applicable to the entire US.
It also went on to warn that the US administration would go ahead seeking all possible legal resolutions to the threats being faced by the sanctuary cities that endanger the citizens. The efforts to ensure exit of the criminal elements from the country will continue to be intensified added the statement from the White House.
Political experts in the US have expressed their views that the court order blocking the executive order was a major setback to Trump administration. The court's order on sanctuary cities pertaining to immigration was praised as commendable by Dennis Herrera, the San Francisco Attorney.
The Attorney added that it was found by the court that the arguments put forth by US administration were not legally valid. While supporting the plea challenging the executive order, the court was on the side of the appeal on every major aspect, added Herrera. The first 100 days of Donald Trump have been a tragedy and one can only hope that the President now learns from the series of mistakes that he has committed, said Herrera in a statement.
As San Francisco took the lead in challenging the executive order of the President, it has been successful in safeguarding billions of dollars that are utilized for diverse life-sustaining initiatives across the nation, explained Herrera.

Confederate monuments: Time to get the story straight
At our worst, Americans rationalize intolerance, xenophobia and the shooting of unarmed African-Americans – young, old, male and female.
At our best, Americans show resilience in times of crisis and tragedy. Recent core-shaking events include Hurricane Harvey, September 11, Sandy Hook, Pulse, Mother Emanuel in Charleston, and Charlottesville. In response, books have been authored, movies produced and monuments erected to memorialize and remember such events and people.
Collectively, these accounts write history. An African proverb states, "Until the lion tells his side of the story, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter."
Thus, the polarization over Confederate monuments and battle flags reflecting representations of heritage, pride, hate or succession, acts of patriotism or treason is understandable. However, the toppling of Confederate monuments throughout the nation and in Durham says it's time for a new story to be told.
It is time to tell the story that "Southern heritage" – cuisine, fashion, agriculture, music, language and nearly every other aspect – either largely derives from or is influenced by the continent of Africa.
It's time to tell the story that the Civil War was fought to sustain the absolute subjugation of African people and the generational privilege it afforded to the people of European descent.
It's time to tell the story that the majority of the Confederate monuments were erected over 30 years after the Civil War (1924 in Durham) as homage to Jim Crow segregation and opposition to the civil rights movement.
It's time to tell the story that the men in gray should be reviled not revered, as this is the United States of America – not the United States of the Confederacy.
It's time to tell the story that even General Robert E. Lee wanted to "obliterate the marks of civil strife, and to commit to oblivion the feelings it engendered."
It's time to tell the story that according to Article Three - Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the states of the Confederacy and its sympathizers committed acts of treason and thus were traitors.
There is a saying, "out of sight, out of mind." But out of sight does not mean out of heart. Toppling or removing statues will not deter the hate-filled rhetoric and acts of the "alt-right" white supremacists, and others.
Instead, use your voice and votes to ensure that the true history is told. Petition government officials to rename cities, military bases, schools, buildings, and streets. Advocate to update textbooks, commission documentaries, and erect markers alongside the Confederate monuments that state "Let us never forget that the Confederates were traitors who committed acts of treason against the Union – now the United States of America – and its founding principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity."
"It is rather for us to be here, dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." (Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, Nov. 19, 1863).
Remember, "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." (George Santayana)

ON1 Issues Photo Suite 9.5.1 Update
ON1 released Perfect Photo Suite 9.5.1, a free update for owners of Photo Suite 9. The full list of improvements is below. I like what I see with Browse display enhancements. I'm using Browse as my front end to Lightroom and a better detailed view will only help.
What I'm happiest about is 9.5.1 has fixed a bug I was hitting more and more with multi-layered files. I had several PSD files that would trigger crashes. No more! Very glad to see that fixed.
The 9.5.1 includes compatibility updates for Lightroom CC 2015. It is recommended for all users. This update includes the following improvements:
Browse Enhancements
- Persistent Thumbnail Cache: Stores thumbnails are previews on disk so that when you go back to folder a second time it loads much faster. You can control the size and location in the preferences.
- Improved Detail View: Our goal was to reduce or eliminate seeing pixelated previews in Detail View. It now generates a larger preview up front so you will see less pixelated previews. It also reads ahead and behind so that when you move between images there is no pixelation. It also continues to process thumbnails and previews in the background.
- Improved Grid View: The thumbnail grid has been rewritten. It should be faster changing folders. You can also scroll through large folders with no detail.
- Albums: Create and manage lists of photos that can live anywhere, similar to a collection in Lightroom.
Crash Logger: Automatically logs crashes and hangs and reports them back to on1.
Scratch Disk: You can now configure where you scratch disk is located. This is handy if your boot volume is a small SSD. Adjust this in the preferences.
Mask Enhancements
- Line Mask Tool: Create or edit masks with a point-to-point polygon tool. Click around the shape you want to mask, then click in the middle to mask that area
- Double-click on Blur and Chisel: You can now (or finally again) apply the Blur Mask and Chisel Mask tools to the entire mask by double-clicking on the tool icons.
- Luminosity Mask: You create a luminosity mask or copy the luminosity to paste it as a mask onto other layers. The commands live in the Layer and or Mask menus.
- Mask Contextual Menu: When you right click on a mask thumbnail in Layers or Effects there is now a contextual menu with the same options as the Mask menu.
- Feather in or out with Blur Mask tool: There is now a mode option in the tool options bar for the Blur Mask tool. When it blurs it can either lighten or darken so that the blur goes inside or outside the current mask instead of just along the edge. Handy finishing touch for hair.
- 'O' key now toggles the mask preview on and off like Lightroom.
Portrait improvements
- Faster Loading, like three seconds instead of 12!
- Faster Control Point Adjustments. You can still get it to beep occasionally. We will continue to improve this for Suite 10.
- Updated Control Point Overlay.
- GPU Processing for Perfect Effects: We are in the process of converting everything in Perfect Effects to process in the GPU (video card). This make it much faster to adjust the sliders and use tools. For Suite 9.5 the following filters have been updated.
- Blending Options
- Antique
- Color Enhancer
- Cross Process
- Lens Flare
- Photo Filter
- Split Tone
- Vintage
- Vignette
General Enhancements
- Hold down command and option when you launch to delete preferences.
- Colorize and Invert options added to the Borders and Textures panes in Effects. This gives you more control over what color you want for basic borders like Simple and Emulsion.
- Crop settings now sticky across sessions and modules.
- 100% Actual Size option is now available in the Print dialog.
- Brushes should now behave more like Photoshop. They feather equally in and out instead of just in. The brush profile has also been modified to act more like Photoshop.
- Color Temp control has been adjusted to be more yellow, less orange. It now tracks closer to Lightroom when you are working on a raw file
- Suppress Edit What dialog (coming soon). When you use the Suite as a standalone you will not be prompted for your file handling options every time you open a file. These options are being moved to the preferences instead.

The plaudits for Barb Jungr have piled ever higher in recent years following her string of astounding CDs interpreting the likes of Brel, Dylan and Presley, but still can't capture the intensity, skill, presence and humour of a live performance in full flight. Barb is one of Pirate Jenny's oldest friends, first appearing in 1995 and often back at about this time of year, and we're delighted once again to welcome her for her first visit to PJ's since our relocation to the Drill Hall.
Born in Rochdale of Czech and German parents, Barb emerged through the British cabaret and music scene working with leading UK artists from comedians Julian Clary and Alexei Sayle to singers Claire Martin, Ian Shaw and Mari Wilson. She's since built a brilliant reputation for herself in New York, written a musical and started several cabaret and chanson clubs of her own. Her last album Love Me Tender radically reinterpreted the Elvis Presley repertoire, and a live album/DVD is due in 2006.
Queen of the funky harmonium Jane Bom-Bane is a true original, performing her own poems and songs to the on- and off-beats of a bellowing harmonium - or sometimes three - small, middle-sized and large. She also tells grown-up fairy-tales, sings songs to a small guitar and astonishes with hats that grow with her harmoniums.
This former associate of the Flying Lizards is a well-established favourite on the Edinburgh fringe, and has numerous TV appearances to her credit as well as a CD exploring the world of palindromic songwriting with collaborator Nick Pynn.
"Blisteringly off-beat" Daily Telegraph
Pirate Jenny's founder and host Des de Moor is a fine writer of original salty English chansons as well as insightful interpretations and faithful translations of other people's songs. Tonight he's delivering a set of originals, including some new work.

Question: How do you set the classpath?
Answer: WebLogic Server installs the following script that you can use to set the classpath that a server requires:
WL_HOMEserverinsetWLSEnv.cmd (on Windows)
WL_HOME/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh (on UNIX)
5)How do stubs work in a WebLogic Server cluster?
Clients that connect to a WebLogic Server cluster and look up a clustered object obtain a replica-aware stub for the object. This stub contains the list of available server instances that host implementations of the object. The stub also contain Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: How do I generate web pages from a program (CGI)? Are there libraries to make it easier?
Answer: Most web servers support one variation or another of a standard for adding your own programs to the web server. The standard is called CGI (Common Gateway Interface).
Marc Hedlund has written a FAQ on CGI programming (URL is <URL:http://www.best.com/~hedlund/cgi-faq/> ) which makes a good introduction to the subject. The standard itself can be found at NCSA (URL is <URL:http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/> ).
For tips on overcoming common CGI problems, consult the CGI problems Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: how can I access the web?
Answer: You have two basic options: use a browser on your own machine (the best option) or use a browser that can be telnetted to (not nearly as good, but possible). Web access by email is available, but very marginal. Note, however, that the traditional online services such as AOL, Prodigy, and Compuserve now offer web access of one degree or another as a standard feature. Real web access is finally easy to come by for all PC users, at least in North America.
It is always best to run a browser o Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: What is on the web?
Answer: Currently accessible through the web:
* anything served through gopher
* anything served through WAIS
* anything on an FTP site
* anything on Usenet
* anything accessible through telnet
* anything in hytelnet
* anything in hyper-g
* anything in techinfo
* anything in texinfo
* anything in the form of man pages
* sundry hypertext documents Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: What is the Web?
Answer: WWW stands for "World Wide Web." The WWW project, started by Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics), seeks to build a "distributed hypermedia system." In practice, the web is a vast collection of interconnected documents, spanning the world. Tim Berners-Lee continues his pioneering work with the W3 Consortium at MIT.
The advantage of hypertext is that in a hypertext document, if you want more information about a particular subject mentioned, you can u Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: How do I find out what's new on the web?
Answer: comp.infosystems.www.announce
The newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.announce carries announcements of new resources on the World Wide Web. Since newsgroups are distributed, it can be accessed reliably even when the net is very busy.
What's New With NCSA Mosaic
The unofficial newspaper of the World Wide Web is What's New With NCSA Mosaic (URL is http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Docs/whats-new.html ), which carries announcements of new servers on the web and also Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: How can I set deployment order for applications?
Answer: WebLogic Server allows you to select the load order for applications. WebLogic Server deploys server-level resources (first JDBC and then JMS) before deploying applications. Applications are deployed in this order: connectors, then EJBs, then Web Applications. If the application is an EAR, the individual components are loaded in the order in which they are declared in the application.xml deployment descriptor. Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: How should you type cast a remote object? Why?
Answer: A client program that is intended to be interoperable with all compliant EJB Container implementations must use the javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(?) method to perform type-narrowing of the client-side representations of the remote home and remote interfaces. Programs using the cast operator for narrowing the remote and remote home interfaces are likely to fail if the Container implementation uses RMI-IIOP as the underlying communication transport.

Question: What is the function of T3 in WebLogic Server?
Answer: T3 provides a framework for WebLogic Server messages that support for enhancements. These enhancements include abbreviations and features, such as object replacement, that work in the context of WebLogic Server clusters and HTTP and other product tunneling. T3 predates Java Object Serialization and RMI, while closely tracking and leveraging these specifications. T3 is a superset of Java Object. Serialization or RMI; anything you can do in Java Object Serialization and RMI can be done over T3. T3 Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: Where is the subject catalog of the web?
Answer: There are several. There is no mechanism inherent in the web which forces the creation of a single catalog (although there is work underway on automatic mechanisms to catalog web sites).
The best-known catalog, and the first, is The WWW Virtual Library (URL is http://www.w3.org/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Overview.html ), maintained by CERN. The Virtual Library is a good place to find resources on a particular subject, and has separate maintainers for many subject areas.

Question: What happens if remove( ) is never invoked on a session bean?
Answer: In case of a stateless session bean it may not matter if we call or not as in both cases nothing is done. The number of beans in cache is managed by the container. In case of statefulsession bean, the bean may be kept in cache till either the session times out, in which case the bean is removed or when there is a requirement for memory in which case the data is cached and the bean is sent to free pool. Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: Which format is better for WWW image purposes, JPEG or GIF?
Answer: Almost all browsers can view inline JPEG, and there are free libraries available to do that, so the remaining browser vendors are very short on excuses. There is no need to avoid inline JPEG any longer. So the proper question is, which format is better for your specific purpose?
JPEG is for photographic images. GIF is for line-art images, such as icons, graphs and line-art logos. You will very likely find that JPEG produces smudgy line art and GIF produces large and washed-out photographs Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: What happens when a failure occurs and the stub cannot connect to a WebLogic Server instance?
Answer: When the failure occurs, the stub removes the failed server instance from its list. If there are no servers left in its list, the stubb uses DNS again to find a running server and obtain a current list of running instances. Also, the stub periodically refreshes its list of available server instances in the cluster; this allows the stub to take advantage of new servers as they are added to the cluster. Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: How can I distribute audio through the Web
Answer: Not all web browsers have audio support built-in, but nearly all can launch external "viewers" to handle audio. These player programs are widely available as freeware or shareware for most architectures (or standard with your operating system).
Audio is a particularly thorny case owing to the need to download the entire audio program before it can be heard. Fortunately, there are now systems available which avoid this problem by playing the audio as it is downloaded.
Source: CoolInterview.com
Question: How does the Web compare to Gopher and WAIS?
Answer: While all three of these information presentation systems are client-server based, they differ in terms of their model of data. In gopher, data is either a menu, a document, an index or a telnet connection. In WAIS, everything is an index and everything that is returned from the index is a document. In WWW, everything is a (possibly) hypertext document which may be searchable.
In practice, this means that WWW can represent the gopher (a menu is a list of links, a gopher document is a hype Source: CoolInterview.com

The economic relationship between Belgium and the US remains strong, according to AmCham EU's new report The Transatlantic Economy 2017. Below we share some of the report's most telling statistics.
US employment in Belgium
Did you know US companies employed an estimated 132,000 people in Belgium in 2015? US companies in Belgium are job creators and, in particular, generate a significant amount of employment in the manufacturing sector.
Exports to the US
Did you know the US is Belgium's fifth largest trading partner and ranks first when EU countries are excluded? Belgium exported $19.5 billion worth of goods to the US in 2015 – accounting for 6% of total Belgian exports, or 21.4% excluding intra-EU trade.
The export of chemical products has grown four-fold in the last 15 years and have become Belgium's main export product to the US. Manufactured goods and machinery & transport equipment come in second and third, respectively.
Belgian imports from the US
Did you know the US supplied 8.7% of total Belgian imports in 2015, amounting to $32.6 billion worth of goods? When EU countries are excluded, almost a quarter of Belgian imports come from the US. 55% of these exports are intra-firm (within corporate groups).
Belgium is a top export market for 32 of the 50 US States. For five US States – Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota and Tennessee – Belgium is even their first European export market!
In terms of volume, Texas is the largest exporter to Belgium with $4,613 million shipped in 2015 – in fact, Belgium is Texas's second export destination in Europe! – followed by New York ($4,473 million), California ($2,942 million), Illinois ($1,611 million), Louisiana ($1,312 million) and Pennsylvania ($1,289 million).

A Day at the Dog Park
After a day of putting in resumes AGAIN, I took my baby out to the dog park around 2:00 p.m. She is SO happy going to the dog park that she anxiously scans the route we take to see when we get close. Sometimes she whines as we get a couple of blocks away so lately, we've taken to howling as we arrive. The two of us, heads thrown back howling, we're a sight, and I'm sure if anyone saw us, they'd think we were completely mad. I'd be a bit embarrassed trying to explain that to a copper if one pulled us up. :)-----
We get to the park and out of the truck, Shasta pulling me like she's pulling the truck instead, hunkered down,pulling with all her might against the lead, shrieking at other dogs, sounding positively embarrassing as though I'm torturing her as we approach the sallyport gate. In we go and she bounds down the path, up the little bridge making these HUGE thumping sounds as she crosses it, and round the corner. I don't even see her until I've caught up, then she's usually harassing some people or dogs down the path, practically 1/2 a mile away until I call her back. She rarely comes back, but sometimes waits a few seconds before exploding up the main path to the clearing where there are usually lots of other dogs. Today was slow so no dogs there, but sights and scents distracted her all along the way, and she would stop to raise a leg and pee, letting everyone know she was there.
It was such a crisp cold day that I wasn't complaining about it. I walked where she wanted to go, then when she was left behind doing some of her scent investigating or chasing squirrels, I would hide behind a tree large enough to conceal.me and wait for her to find me. She ALWAYS finds me! We did this all day, just laughing and chasing, hiding and growling. It was a wonderful day with her.
When we arrived home I had to work more on my laptop and trying to get out some resumes. Later, as we were relaxing, I had her covered up on the bed with only her eyes and nose poked out watching me until I began growling at her and she jumped straight up, ready to engage! She was on my bed, so I just came over and wrestled the little monkey. She absolutely LOVES to wrestle me, moaning and making these funny sounds, somewhere between a growl and a howl, and nibbles my skin, not quite biting me, but playfully nibbling me. SO funny!
My housemate Casandra said that we must have been lovers or very close in a former life and God felt badly that we were separated so brought her back in my little dog's body. I don't know as I believe in that reincarnation nonsense, but she has the biggest heart in the tiniest body, and she's absolutely the best companion I ever had, in this life or any other!

Revisions to Bylaws; Article II – Membership, Section 5(c)
Implementation: Upon Approval By the Senate
Student senator representation to the Senate is detailed in the Constitution, Article II, Section 5(c) where it states that, "The full-time, degree-seeking students at the University shall be represented by student senators elected by their units and by two ex officio student senators from undergraduate student government organizations."
The Bylaws go on to stipulate the election of student representatives from various colleges, locations and units (including the Graduate School, Dickinson Law, Penn State Law, and the College of Medicine).
Article II, Section 5(c)(4) goes on to allocate student senators as:
"Two leaders of undergraduate student government organizations as follows: One representative of the University Park Undergraduate Association; One representative of the Council of Commonwealth Student governments. Whenever comparable units are added to the University or created through reorganization, each new unit shall elect one student senator. The term of a student senator shall be one year."
Given that each undergraduate and graduate student unit is represented by an elected student senator, it seems inequitable that undergraduate student government organizations are provided representation, while the graduate and professional student government is not afforded similar representation.
The duly recognized Graduate and Professional Student Association was established in 1951 (originally as the Graduate Student Association and then reorganized in its current form in 2014). Moreover, there is already a provision for adding representation as needed.
It is therefore the opinion of the CC&R that this inequity in representation be redressed by providing for a senator from the Graduate and Professional Student Association.

Saturday Super SNIPS
Saturday Super SNIPS runs alternate weeks and is based at the Dorothy Goodman site on Stoke Road. With 60 children on the books it does mean that we have to limit the numbers each week to avoid overcrowding. This means that each child is offered 3 of the 6 available sessions each term.
However, there are some children that are eligible for all 6 sessions, this can be arranged via your social worker.
We are able to utilise all the facilities of the school including the soft play, sensory room, kitchen and library. We also take along our very own bouncy castle for good measure. In addition to the school based activities, we also like to go out and about in the Westfield mini buses that are available to us.

Posted In Blog,Videos
Nothing beats some good ol fashioned RnB and Luv'Rell certainly delivers in her first video. "Room for One" as the title suggests is a soft sensual slow jam. Sounding almost Kelly Rowlandesque the vocal is pure quality and probably the standout feature of the track. Luv'Rell is already generating a lot of attention and she's only going to get better. Keep an eye on her i get the feeling there will be plenty more to come.

Varadkar: 'Hard border will just never happen, ever'
IRELAND is not planning for border on the island in the event of a hard Brexit, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.
The Taoiseach is adamant that even if the UK crashes out of the European Union in March 2019, a border will not be erected.
A 'no deal' scenario could see World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules apply which would introduce tariffs on goods and services crossing between the Republic and Northern Ireland.
But Mr Varadkar insisted today that a physical border is not an option.
"That will just never happen, ever," he said.
Last week UK Prime Minister Theresa May tabled a proposal aimed at providing a temporary solution to the 'Irish question' – but it has been largely rejected by the EU.
Despite this, there is growing expectation that the Brexit negotiations will be allowed move when EU leaders meet later this month.
Asked by Independent.ie if this meant the Irish position was weakening, Mr Vardakar replied: "Certainly our position hasn't softened. I'm happy to correct that if that's the impression I gave in any way."
He said the deadlines for the withdrawal agreement is October but Ireland will insist on "real and meaningful progress by the June summit at the end of this month".
"What was produced by London last week is a small step in the right direction. It helps to find some solutions when it comes to the customs aspect of the Irish border question. We don't have enough when it comes to the regulatory alignment of the border questions," he said.
The Taoiseach said a date cannot be put on when the temporary customs arrangement suggested by the UK will end. The document put forward by Mrs May said it's expected a permanent solution would be in place by the end of 2021.
"The whole point of a backstop is that it's there as a backstop until something better is agreed," Mr Varadkar said.
"We're going to need to see some more movement from London between now and the summit at the end of the month before we can be satisfied."
He was speaking at the launch of a new plan to grow this country's international footprint. Plans include the establishment of new embassies in Ukraine, Morocco and Philippines.
New consulates are to be opened in Cardiff, Frankfurt and Los Angeles.
At the event, Tánaiste Simon Coveney said: "These increased resources abroad will help Ireland play our full role in addressing global challenges, while also meeting our moral obligations as global citizens.
"That's why we are seeking a seat on the UN Security Council and it's why we plan to rapidly scale up our spending on Overseas Development Assistance towards 0.7pc of GNI, as also signalled in the strategy launched today."

Why map uploader isn't accepting my map? Is there something wrong with the uploader? I made an improved version of my recent Australia.wmf, which would be a candidate in the contest.
What is the error you see? You might need to rename your map to Australia1.wmf. Do not worry about clobbering up the maps section, we can manually clean out the ones that should not stay around later.
The problem is that once I've clicked the upload button, It just says that there is no selected map, which was there before clicking the upload button. Uploader notes are still there, but selected map gets lost to somewhere. And yes, I've tried with renamed map too. The problem is still there after the bug fix got done.
