VCC VentoFlex modular lighting system opens up countless ways to make an impact and delivers seamless backlighting, even in challenging interior spaces.
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 13, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ — Visual Communications Company (VCC), a recognized global leader in the illuminated electronics market with advanced indication and specialty illumination solutions, is launching its groundbreaking VentoFlex Flexible Modular Lighting System later this month.
The new VentoFlex lighting system is made up of flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL) sheets with 90 CRI LuxeonⓇ LEDs. VentoFlex was designed to open up design possibilities in applications including environmental design, furniture, equipment and so much more.
With VentoFlex, the sum is greater than its 12 x 12-inch parts:
Versatility – VentoFlex tiles mount to any surface — either by staples, nails, screws or even double-sided tape. Each tile can bend to 90 degrees and isn't confined by flat surfaces, creating infinite opportunities for awe-inspiring lighting design.
Customization – the 12" x 12" inch tiles are only half of the story — they can be cut and formed around corners and other shapes with just a pair of scissors. With a footprint as small as 0.15 (3.81 mm), making a big impact has never taken up less space.
Modular design – the tiles themselves aren't the only flexible thing about VentoFlex. The configurations can be quite flexible, too, with 10 or 15 tiles being connected to a single driver. Plus, the cables don't have to physically touch to enhance design aesthetic.
In addition to the utmost versatility and convenience, VentoFlex tiles provide:
Stunning, reliable ambiance for both damp and dry locations
Seven color temperatures for added versatility: 2200K, 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K
A wide viewing angle for maximum impact – 140 degrees, for the win
Dimmable illumination all the way to 1 percent with any 0-10V or DALI signal
VentoFlex is unlike any product currently available through distribution, making creative design solutions easily accessible to a host of industries and manufacturers.
"We are beyond ecstatic to introduce such a versatile LED product for customers in a range of industries," stated Sannah Vinding, VCC's Director of Product Development and Marketing. "VentoFlex is a gamechanger, not only because the tiles are so versatile and beautiful, but because its modular design makes it easy to customize configurations. Giving designers the utmost flexibility without sacrificing quality is our main mission, and VentoFlex is the perfect example."
VentoFlex tiles will be available through VCC's distribution channels on February 2019. To learn more or watch a video on how these tiles bring design to life, visit: https://vcclite.com/ventoflex

**Alll program notes by respective theatres.
Screening All Weekend
Fri - Sun, various titled and session times
Quad Cinema, New York City
Part two of Quad's Hammer retrospective finds the studio reaching its zenith: by the late 1960s, modern cinema had caught up with its lurid envelope-pushing blood and guts, and so Hammer took advantage of loosening censorship to forge ahead into the realm of "erotic horror": the sexual undertow that had hitherto been glimpsed in its films was now literally bared, titillating anew the generation that came of age during the Swinging Sixties. Other genres were explored, and sometimes cross-bred in experiments that recalled those in the studio's durable Frankenstein series. The famous monsters that Hammer had successfully reanimated were updated and upgraded, while women were given more agency to dominate horror mythos—and to flout some taboos. But the studio's "disreputable" and unarguably cut-price offerings were to be outflanked and outdone by films like The Exorcist, which signalled the mainstreaming of horror. Hammer unleashed one final memorable salvo in 1976 before retreating into the crypt, emerging later only to tell television tales of terror. After long haunting and inspiring fans and filmmakers, Hammer has begun making movies again in this decade; there may yet be a full-blooded resurrection at hand. Until then, we present glories from the gory go-go years. Click HERE for the full lineup including DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE and FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED. Unmissable!

New Restoration
Fri - Sun 10:30am, 2:20pm, 6:30pm & 8:35pm IFC Center, New York City
An icon of psychedelic pop culture, Yellow Submarine is a colourful musical spectacle and an exhilaratingly joyful cinematic experience for all ages – filled with visual invention, optical illusions, word play, and glorious, glorious music. Once upon a time….or maybe twice….there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland, 80,000 leagues under the sea it lay, a place where beauty, happiness, and music reign supreme.
But this peaceful harmony is shattered when the Blue Meanies invade with their army of storm bloopers, apple bonkers, snapping turtle turks, and the menacing flying glove in an attempt to stop the music and drain Pepperland of all colour and hope. So it's The Beatles to the rescue, as our animated heroes team up with Young Fred and the Nowhere Man and journey across seven seas to free Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, make peace with the Meanies, and restore music, colour, and love to the world. But beyond all the glorious music, Yellow Submarine is a landmark in animation, with Heinz Edelmann's inspired art direction conjuring up a non-stop parade of wildly different styles and techniques. From the paper-doll residents of Pepperland, to the tinted photography of the soot covered roofs and smokestacks Liverpool, the menagerie of fanciful characters in the Sea of Monsters, the kaleidoscopic colour-splashed rotoscoping of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the vertigo inducing op-art of the Sea of Holes, and the triumphant euphony of the It's All Too Much finale, the film is simply a joy.

More graphically-realistic than ever THE BLOB has returned in this horrific tale about a vile, malignant life-form that crashes to earth in a cozy, rural American town called Arborville.

Now the oozing, gooey killer is back with a new high-tech 80's look. What was once only suggested now comes to life in this visually gut-wrenching thriller in the tradition of such classic remakes as "The Thing" and "The Fly".
Screening Saturday
Sat Jul 21st 7pm
Roxy Cinema, New York City
Kicking off a highly successful collaboration that would lead to Dog Day Afternoon a few years later, prolific auteur Sidney Lumet and height-of-his-70s glory Al Pacino redefined the police genre with the groundbreaking Serpico. In what is now a common police procedural trope, Serpico tells the real-life story of Frank Serpico (Pacino), a tirelessly dedicated NYC cop who goes undercover do expose widespread corruption in the police department, resulting in threats to his life and ostracization by his fellow officers. Pacino is predictably virtuosic with his soulful, layered performance, and Lumet pulls off a real feat balancing drama with gritty, street-level action, but Serpico's strongest attribute is the manner in which is wrestles with the hard truth of the matter – that for one person to stand alone systematic corruption means they must be willing to sacrifice everything for their principles. With John Randolph, Jack Kehoe and Tony Roberts

Filmhouse, Scotland UK
Often referred to as Alfred Hitchcock's return to form after a series of critical and commercial disappointments and co-written by Raymond Chandler (though many aspects of his script didn't make it to screen), Strangers On A Train was adapted from Patricia Highsmith's debut novel, published just a couple of months after the author's 29th birthday in 1950. Robert Walker and Farley Granger play Bruno and Guy, two young men whose chance meeting on a train journey leads to a supposedly foolproof murder swap - Bruno agrees to kill Guy's wife if Guy disposes of Bruno's father...
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974 / 35mm Print)
Sat July 21st Midnight
Nitehawk Cinema, Brooklyn NY
Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of a handful of films that punctuate the very life-blood of cinematic history. Intensely brutal with very little reprieve or consideration for the audience, it came out of a rift of a socio-cultural framework, bursting onscreen with the evisceration of the family structure, youth culture, and cultural fragility in a post-Vietnam United States. Like Night of the Living Dead did five years earlier, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre reveals the unraveling framework of society and places the possibility of horror/death to occur anywhere; not in the Gothic castle nor in the fields of Vietnam but, more terrifyingly, in our surrounding neighborhoods. The film also reveals one of the first final girls (Sally) in the American slasher genre.
Sat July 21st 8pm
Frida Cinema, Santa Ana CA
Japanese genre master Takashi Miike's shocking, deeply disturbing – and surprisingly, subversively poignant and thought-provoking – 1999 thriller Audition comes to The Frida. High-ranking on the list of "The less you know about it going in, the better…" films, Audition first hints at being a romantic comedy-drama as it follows Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi), a father of one who decides to start dating again after a period of mourning following the death of his wife. Aided by a film-producer friend (Jun Kunimura), Aoyama stages auditions for actresses for a fake film production, essentially creating his own dating service. When Aoyama becomes intrigued by the withdrawn, gorgeous Asami (Eihi Shiina), they begin a relationship; however, it's not long before he begins to realize that Asami isn't as reserved as she appears to be, as the audience is given insight into Asami's bitter past – and unnerving present.
THE SEARCHERS (1956 / 35mm Print)
Sat July 21st 7:30pm
Dryden Theatre, Rochester NY
Civil War veteran Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) returns to his brother's Texas ranch, hoping to settle down with his family and the woman he loves. But a Comanche raid destroys these plans: the ranch is burned to the ground, his family is massacred, and his niece (Natalie Wood) is kidnapped. Vowing to bring her back and kill every last Comanche, Ethan and his nephew set out on an epic five-year journey, filmed with the artistry of composition that made Ford a master and this film a milestone.

Secret Sundays from the Vault (SSFTV) is a series with no limits, featuring films from the G William Jones Film and Video Archive at SMU.
Sun July 22nd 7:30pm
Loft Cinema, Tuscon AZ
In this hilariously oddball all-star comedy, based on Dark Horse's "Flaming Carrot Comics," the strangest superhero group in history is assembled to strike down evil with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering! When Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear), Champion City's legendary superhero, falls into the hands of the evil madman Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush) and his disco-dancing henchmen, there's suddenly a chance for the city's aspiring superheroes to show what they can do. They're the Mystery Men … a ragtag team of superhero wannabes featuring: Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller), whose power comes from his boundless rage; The Shoveler (William H. Macy), a father who shovels "better than anyone;" The Blue Raja (Hank Azaria), a fork-flinging mama's boy; The Bowler (Janeane Garofalo), who fights crime with the help of her father's skull; The Spleen (Paul Reubens), whose power is pure flatulence; Invisible Boy (Kel Mitchell), who's only invisible when no one's watching; and The Sphinx (Wes Studi), a cliché-spewing philosopher. They're not your classic superheroes. They're not your favorites. But they just might save the world. A hilariously clever spoof, Mystery Men subversively rewrites the mythology of the superhero film from the inside out.

The Knapp and Papermill is a nature reserve owned by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and I walked around it a few days ago. The visitor centre had an interesting notice board upon which visitors and the Warden could note down the wildlife that had recently been seen on the reserve. What inspired me though was what may have been quite mundane to many people but which, to me, was a beautiful work of nature and creation.
The reserve has an old apple orchard which you approach as you walk down to the stream from the entrance. The huge old apple trees are on a gentle hillside bordered by the river and trees at the bottom and woodland on the other sides, forming a small enclosed orchard in a small valley. I love meadowsweet, but here were clouds of the beautiful cream flowers, red stems and almost turquoise leaves carpeting the orchard. There were also docks, greater willowherb, umbellifers (may have just been Cow Parsley), convolvulous, tall grasses and brambles all intertwining over each other between the trees. There was a beautiful assemblage of creams, greens and pale browns. Occasional white butterflies speckled and danced in the dappled sunlight. The stream murmured in the background, the air was still, very warm and it was mainly sunny. The tall apple trees towered upwards, already laden with small fruits and their high canopies umbrellering outwards. The grasses gently swayed in the breeze and mistletoe clung to many trees.
Why describe it? A lesson in observation. It was a beautiful place, an ideal place to be after a long walk in hot sunshine over the nearby Suckley Hills. Sometimes a place just reaches out to me and almost asks me to join with it in appreciating creation.

In a Nutshell
From an early in my life I learned that success occurs at the intersection of subject expertise, personal passion and market need. I've been a marketer since my teens. While in high school I became an expert on the subject of mopeds. Yes, mopeds. Those 49cc motorized bikes may not be a big deal to you but to a 15-year-old in NJ, they were two yeas of free-wheeling freedom. I knew all brands, models, and types of mopeds from the handlebars to the exhaust pipes. In fact, I bet I could still tear-down and rebuild a moped in a lazy afternoon.
Friends trusted me to help them buy a moped. I was their advisor and I helped them save time, money and frustration. Smart parents even called me with questions. I was a subject expert. I didn't know everything about everything, but I knew everything about one thing.
Back then I was proud of consistently achieving an ROI that would be the envy of business pros 20 years my senior. Any day of the week I could turn $50 into $500.
That's still my philosophy in life and business. My body of work is a 15-year career in digital marketing and social media. I'll admit that I've done an abysmal job of touting my own expertise, I can say that I can go toe-to-toe with knowledge and information with any other subject matter expert.
What sets me apart from other "experts" is that I have real-world, hands-on experience with creating revenue. Big revenue. Despite my lack of personal promotion, I've done some great work in digital marketing and social media. I can do the same for you.
I'm a strategist. I see the big picture; the long range goal. I can put the pieces in place to make digital marketing and social media work together like a well-oiled machine. I'm well-versed on B2B and B2C, eCommerce and the latest and greatest tools and platforms of social media.
As a marketer, I know that results are at the intersection of art and science. As a digital marketer, I work hard to understand the data laying beneath the surface to make more informed decisions.
Hire me. I'm available for projects and contracts.
I'm social, find me, connect with me, chat with me.

Masters in Education, Regis University
I have been teaching for over ten years, and love teaching Kindergartners with all their wonder and curiosity! Kindergarten is such an important year for children to develop both their self-confidence as a student and an intrinsic, lifelong love of learning and inquiry. It was in volunteering in my oldest son's kindergarten class when I decided to become a teacher! I also have additional training in gifted and talented education which I believe applies to every student.
*For Kindergarten, the child's fifth birthday must be no later than August 31st of the year the child is admitted. The principal and Kindergarten teacher(s) shall be the final arbiters of a child's readiness for admittance to Kindergarten based on readiness evaluations.
Pumpkin Patch Field Trip
Saints Parade
Thanksgiving Program and Celebration
Gingerbread Houses
Baby Shower for Jesus (Christmas Party)
Pancakes with Dad
Student Showcase
Mother's Day Brunch

Kindergarten Graduation
Field Day
Moving Up Ceremony
The math program is designed to extend the understanding of key concepts. Active, hands-on methods develop problem-solving skills and extend the children's understanding and enjoyment of numbers and their functions. The classroom environment encourages students to explore, develop, test, discuss and apply ideas.
Each child is encouraged to use all their senses to observe and explore the natural world around them. Students explore topics about apples, bears, penguins, butterflies, frogs, chickens and plants. The read nonfiction books and publish their own information books about these topics. The students are encouraged to share their discoveries in the classroom and at our all school science fair.
Social Studies
The Kindergarten social studies program focuses on the children themselves, their families, their class at school, and the school community. Children also experience the meaning of holidays and the social traditions connected with them through songs, stories, experience writing and other special projects. The Kindergarten students have their first history unit with their study of the Pilgrims and the Native Americans.
Religion is integrated into every aspect of our day. Prayer includes the traditional memorized prayers and spontaneous prayer. We learn about participating in the Mass and prayer services. We learn about creation, the Saints, Church holidays and celebrations. the children participate in Lent and Advent. They learn stories from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The children become even more aware of how precious they are in God's light. They learn that Jesus loves them – no matter what happens!
Language Arts
In Kindergarten, children focus on reading, writing, listening and oral expression. A print rich environment is provided to encourage experience for thought and conversation that extends each student's language skills and builds their vocabulary. A balanced literacy approach emphasizes recognizing basic sight words, using decoding strategies, building fluency and expanding vocabulary. Daily language activities include shared reading and writing, guided reading and writing, independent reading and writing and reading and writing with a peer. Because phonetic analysis is an essential reading skill, each child uses their knowledge of the alphabet to do word study activities. Handwriting skills are refined through daily practice.

Rolling Stones play surprise gig in Paris
The Rolling Stones have performed to 350 fans in Paris after announcing a surprise gig on Twitter.
It was their first concert since 2007, and came ahead of 50th anniversary shows in London and New Jersey.
Playing for almost an hour and a half, the band rattled through hits like It's Only Rock and Roll and Brown Sugar.
"I can't believe we're all still standing up," joked Mick Jagger. "You'd think by now one or two of us would be sitting down, but we're not."
Tickets to the event at Le Trabendo club in Paris cost £12, selling out within minutes.
By contrast, seeing the band at London's O2 Arena in November could set you back £406.
The Rolling Stones are in Paris to rehearse for those arena dates and tweeted that last night's performance would be a "short warm-up gig".
They played fan favourites including Route 66 and Miss You, as well as their latest single Doom and Gloom, which peaked at number 97 in the UK's Official Singles Chart.
Fans Don Device and Robert Blalack were amongst the crowd.
"It seemed like it was their fifth or sixth performance, they still had the enthusiasm and the thrill of enjoying the audience reaction, even after 50 years," said Mr Blalack.
"Actually, after tonight, I think that they have got a long time in front of them," added Mr Device.
"They were much more tight [tonight]. I saw them for the first time in 1979 - worst concert I have ever seen. Tonight - amazing! I saw younger men tonight than I saw in 1979."
Le Trabendo has previously hosted famous names including Metallica, Arctic Monkeys and the Neptunes. But the Rolling Stones are the biggest band to perform there.
The venue has a capacity for 700 people and the crowd was also made up of the band's friends and colleagues from the music industry.
"We really lucked out," said one fan from San Francisco, who had secured a ticket because her husband's former boss works for the Stones.
Hit songs
"I have seen them before, but it has been in larger arenas with 40 thousand people, and [in] such a small club it was incredible. They played all the hits. Brown Sugar was still my favourite."
Johan Anssens said he had waited in the cold for three and a half hours to buy his £12 ticket after he read about the gig on Twitter.
He said he didn't feel sorry for fans in Britain and the United States, who are being charged much steeper prices for the band's 50th anniversary tour dates.
"I don't have a job so I wouldn't be able to go if I had to pay the same price as in London," he said.
"But here I could afford it, so I think it is very democratic. I love the Rolling Stones and I had an amazing night."
Some fans said that they had got in for free after organisers granted last-minute entry to those who had been unsuccessful queuing for tickets earlier in the day.
"They let about fifty extra people in, of all ages, and we did some very loud clapping!" said one man, who was wearing a backstage pass.
"Don't worry, I don't work for the Stones, I picked this up on the floor as a memento!" he laughed.
Guitarist Ronnie Wood had earlier hinted that the band could perform in Paris.
He told NME magazine that there were "going to be little club gigs that we're gonna surprise ourselves to do as well… I don't know who we'll be billed as but we'll turn up somewhere and put a few to the test. Tiny, 200, 300 people kind of places."
There will be a second private gig on Monday funded by investment company Carmignac Gestion for their employees.
Fans at last nights gig said there were already rumours of further possible concerts in the French capital next week as the band continue to prepare for their major shows.

Written and directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Occasionally I push myself to challenge my biases and go see an action movie. Sometimes, maybe it's a mood thing, I somehow find myself enjoying them. Mission Impossible: 6 was one such movie. I now find myself trying to figure out what was appealing about it. Part of it no doubt was that protagonist Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) was accompanied by two less macho sidekicks (Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg)), making it endearing in much the same way as Disney animated movies.
The sidekicks as individual characters, however, are not all that memorable. Dunn is a good-kind-of-misfit in the work and is part of a couple decent gags, but there's not much to write home about him. Stickell meanwhile is charming and a subtler misfit, but again, he's nothing to write home about. Luckily, these characters are not the be all and end all of the film's comedic elements. Mission Impossible 6 is, of course, ridden with fight scenes. While many of these can be described as performances of traditional action ambition, I could not help but get a whiff of comedy out of some them. There is one scene in which Hunt and CIA Agent Walker (Henry Caville), fight an enemy target in a bathroom. The fight seems easy at first, but when it is disrupted by some immature, passerby men, the enemy suddenly regains form. What proceeds from there is an extended sequence in which a high stakes, high tech fight is somehow carried out with fists and a urinal pipe.
The subtle comedy of Mission Impossible 6 is complimented by its surprisingly high dialogue to action ration (at least in its first two thirds) as well as an absurd sequence in which plot twist after plot twist is thrown upon each other (eventually its gets absurd, but it's largely an engaging moment). None of this is enough for me to describe Mission Impossible 6 as a comedy, but comedy is certainly an ingredient in the Mission Impossible stew.
And ingredients, are what I think makes this movie work. It's a film that offers a little bit of something for everybody, and even if those somethings aren't always top notch, they give the film an engaging enough texture to make is exiting for those who might be bored by other action flicks.
Mission Impossible 6's little-bit-of-everything approach is largely effective, but it creates odd results as well. The film's villains are described as anarchists, and in the opening scene, one rants at Hunt & crew with delirious, but moral conviction, insisting they share his manifesto with the world. The idea that these characters are idealists is repeated throughout the film, yet it's never fully developed. Meanwhile, Hunt & co. ignore their ideals, treating and discussing them as purely evil beings. It is as if the film's writer thought: a lot of viewers want to see complex and sympathetic villains, but a lot more viewers just want a tradition good-vs-evil smash-off. The result is that the film caters a bit to both crowds. As I said, this approach works: the supposed complexity of the villains no doubt left me a bit more engaged by the evil, even as the logical part of my brain was left frustrated by the fact that the villain's motifs were never properly elaborated on or made truly sympathetic.
The character of Hunt is similarly written as complicated-but-not. An early tension in the film is that Hunt values the lives of his friends even when doing so could compromise his mission. This supposed idealism puts him at odds with the CIA. While this detail comes across as potentially interesting when raised at the beginning and end of the film, it also feels phoney as it never really describes Hunt's character. He comes across as a largely generic, calmly calculated, cool-with-violence action hero.
Mission Impossible 6 is, in short, a bit fraudulent. I use that word as an observation not an insult. It is undoubtedly very good, but parts of its quality comes from the fact that it poses as a "smart movie." It is not ,ideas wise at least, a deep work, but it goes to show that sometimes even hinting at having ideas can make your movie effective. At the same time, it leaves me longing for a Mission Impossible like movie that could be as ambitious about its themes as about its stunts.

DBF Converter - the most popular DBF editor and viewer for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista in the world. Convert Txt File To Dbf
DESCRIPTION Convert Txt File To DbfDBFView is a terse but efficacious program for editing, viewing, printing DBF-format databases - screen shot.
It supports FoxPro, Visual FoxPro, dBase, Clipper and other DBF formats. In contrast to many analogues, DBFView is completely a Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/Vista program. The user friendly graphic makes working with databases easy and hassle free.
Most important parts of DBFView code are written in Assembler, therefore the basic operations performs fast and the .exe file is very small (only 410Kb! ).
DBFView uses its own database access applications and does not require external drivers for connection to databases (such as ODBC or BDE) or additional libraries (.OCX,.DLL).
The program allows you to view and edit files in DOS or Windows character sets, get detailed database information, convert csv and xls / xlsx to dbf format, pack records, delete, export dbf to txt/html format, zap, import/export from MS Excel (including MS Excel 2007! ), add, recall, search in a file, sort. DBFView comes with Installer/Uninstaller, documentation in HTML format, and sample files.
John Priers
I found Dbf Editor after a lengthy exploration on the net. I was looking for a product that could provide a view, update, and edit interface for a large database that could reside on an internet drive (like X-Drive), where I and co-workers out of state could access and quickly update our numbers (basically job/data tracking for telecommuters). The company does waveform compression, photo-editing (school, corporate, restorative work) utilizing high-speed internet, some good computer artists. Maybe 5000 negative scans per year.
Anyway, nobody wanted to install full-blown database program, sql server or the like, the company is not that big, nor is the data itself considered critical. So for this type of user, your interface provides clean, quick, simple, no syntax required, put the data in and go. Others I looked at tried to do the same but usually forget the "people element", and I don't have time to learn sql syntax and help them complete their software. (Incidently, I used to have a lot of fun programming DBase II and III, then I saw Access and cried).
Lisa C. Stopp - Finance Administrator
I am looking at your web site concerning your software DBFView. We currently work with Excel 2007 on XP operating systems. We save excel files as DBF IV format so that we can import them into other aplication that we use. Will this product work with Excel 007(. Xlsx)?
Helen Mitten - Software Manager
We were interested because our users needed something rapid to view dbf files and we did not want to use FoxPro. We had another aplication that works on Windows 95 and NT but would not work on Windows 98. We tried work with Excel but it would only read up to 65, 536 records and some of the files they look at are larger than that. I had looked at another dbfviewer but it did not have all the functionality that yours has.
Ulrich Pfleghard - Software Manager
We have installed Access 2000, and the export data from access to dBase destructs actually all file structures (thank you, guys from MS! ) of the DBase files in a manner that dBase doesn't recognize them as dBase files... I have to support an old Clipper/dBase based aplication. I was looking for a documentation tool for dBase because we still use a Clipper compiled aplication that uses dBase tables. Then I found Your aplication and thought i could see the structures of the files: I can! Excelent! I also can see the contents of the tables even if the Access derived files have a mistake in the second byte (at least) of the exported files. And I can modify the contents of the fields. Even better!
Dbf Editor Toolbar & Menu
With the toolbar button you can quick call main menu commands. If you leave the mouse cursor on a button for a moment, a small window with a description will appear.
Dbf Converter Print
Prints the displayed table, file name, current time/date, depending on the current DBFView settings ('Options - Print').
Edit Dbf File - Add Records
Adds a new record to the end of table

If you buy travel insurance, be aware of the 'first payer' clause
They looked at buying travel insurance through their group health insurance provider at home, Pacific Blue Cross (PBC), but decided to go with a policy from RBC Insurance because it was slightly cheaper. After a serious illness, the US bill came to more than $200,000 US.
A "first payer" clause, standard insurance industry practice called "subrogation," means RBC sent the bill to PBC. RBC recovered $97,954.19 from the other insurer.
Pacific Blue Cross, like many insurers, has a lifetime maximum coverage amount for its extended health plans, and they are dangerously near it, since they both have chronic illnesses (diabetes and MS). Milaneys' Pacific Blue Cross coverage includes dental, vision, physiotherapy and medical devices.

Honey Cake with Ginger
Well, the honey cake, or lekach, is normally ready well before Rosh Hashana, which was a week ago. But it's not possible to be Wonder Woman every minute of every day (getting into this costume alone is hard work). Luckily, it's never too late for cake.
Here's the recipe, and there'll be plenty for a couple of days and some to spare for breaking the Yom Kippur fast on Wednesday. Preparing this cake will remind you of making muffins, with wet ingredients being mixed into the dry, although it's harder to overbeat this batter.
For more Rosh Hashana-related recipes and posts, click here.
Depending how early you make it, you may wish to freeze half or a quarter of the cake for post-Yom Kippur noshing as this is not a cake you can leave lying around (it tends to diminish with each visitor to the kitchen).
Preheat the oven to 350F. Get a baking tin ready by lining with parchment paper and spraying Pam onto the paper.
Shana Tovah, a sweet and happy new year to all who have rung in 5773!
What you need:
Dry ingredients.
- Flour, 3 1/2 cups
- Baking soda, 1 tsp
- Baking powder, 1 tsp
- Cinnamon, 4 tsp
- Cloves, 1 tsp
- Ground dried ginger, 2 tsp
- Nutmeg, 1 tsp
- Castor sugar, 1 cup
- Brown sugar, 1 cup
- Salt, 3/4 – 1 tsp
Wet ingredients:
- Eggs, 3 whole
- Honey, 1 cup
- Mild-scented veg oil, like grape seed, 1 cup
- Tea or coffee, strong, 1 cup, cooled
- Orange juice, 1/2 cup
- Rye or whiskey, 1/4 cup
- Ginger, fresh and grated, 2-3 tsp
- Vanilla, 2 tbsp
- Use your food processor to mix the dry ingredients together first, till incorporated nicely
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Into the well, add all the wet ingredients, one by one
- Gently process till it all comes together, increase mixer speed and give it a good whirl.
- Pour into baking tin. Sprinkle the top with slivered or sliced almonds, if you wish.
- Bake for about 45-55 minutes, till a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, or till the cake – when touched with a finger – leaves no depression.
Sometimes I like to make a simple syrup with brown sugar and orange juice and pour it all over the cake when it's done, to make it even more moist.

Oh my, that looks delicious! Love the video, makes it look so easy. Would be great to see you adding more videos to your recipes.
Thank you Gudrun! You are kind. Cake is easy – one just needs to have all the ingredients at hand. And remember to add them, said the one who nearly forgot the oil.. 😉
[…] is the third recipe with ginger in recent weeks, after honey cake and burgers. Even panic shopping involved the fragrant rhizome – it was preceded by my […]

Apparently I have more time these days...
She got some odd shadows when I scanned her, but I kinda like 'em. Just messing around. Lately, I've been cruising ffffound.com, checking out what's been posted. I snagged this pic for inspiration. I have my students doing a series of three pieces (realistic, abstract and non-objective) based upon the same image. I think, as I play too, that I'll use her as my realistic.

The protein-based Dukan diet
ALL diets are developed with the intention of helping you to achieve weight loss, and most of them will result in this once you adhere to them. Unfortunately, very few diets are designed to help you permanently stabilise your weight and this, according to the nutritionist and wellness coach Donovan Grant, is where the Dukan diet is winning.
"The Dukan diet was devised by Pierre Dukan; it is a commercial fad diet which is mainly protein-based. The assumption of this diet is that limiting carbohydrates allow the body to use up fat, therefore, resulting in weight loss," Grant explained.
He pointed out that the reason why the diet aims to increase proteins and limit other sources of energy, such as carbohydrates and fats, is based on the theory that proteins are naturally filling, require a lengthier period for digestion, and have very few calories for each gram of food, compared to carb-heavy foods.
"When protein supplies the majority of a diet, fats and carbs are limited and fast weight loss ensues since, in the absence of carbohydrates, which is usually the main source of energy for the body, it is forced to turn to an alternative fuel — which is fat stored by the body," Grant said.
The diet, according to Grant, has four ground pillars which are referred to as phases — each earning its name from the focus of the phase. They are as follows:
Phase one – Attack
This phase, which runs for 10 days, focuses on rapid weight loss. You will eat lean protein such as beef, fish, chicken, eggs, soy, and cottage cheese. The only rule is that your protein be low in fat and does not contain added sugars. In addition, dieters should consume an additional 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran and at least six cups of water, and should exercise for approximately 20 minutes daily.
Phase two – Cruise
This phase will be high in vegetable consumption, with the aim being helping dieters to reach their targeted body weight gradually. The vegetables will have to come from a list of 32 specific vegetables; fruits are not allowed. Generally, dieters aim to lose two pounds per week and the duration of this phase will be dependent on how much weight the dieter wishes to lose. So, for example, if the desired weight loss is 30 pounds, this will last for 15 weeks; however, if they want to lose five pounds, it will last 10 weeks.
As in the Attack phase, the dieter is allowed to eat unlimited amounts of low-fat protein and unlimited amounts of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, lettuce and green beans. However, one general rule is that they will alternate their consumption of lean protein and vegetables. Similar to the previous phase, the dieter will continue to consume 1.5 litres of water and one tablespoon of oat bran each day, and aim for 30 minutes of exercise daily.
Phase three – Consolidation
This phase aims to encourage weight stabilisation and as such the main focus is on avoiding weight gain. Dieters are allowed to eat unlimited quantities of protein and vegetables, one piece of low-sugar fruit, one portion of cheese, and two slices of whole-grain bread. He/she can also consume one or two servings of starchy food and one or two celebration meals (which is basically whatever the dieter chooses) each week. In addition, during this phase, the dieter starts eating the core diet of pure protein one day each week and involves 25 minutes of exercise a day.
Phase 4 – Stabilisation
This phase of the diet will occur over time; it focuses on long-term maintenance as opposed to weight gain or loss. Grant notes that while in this phase dieters can eat pretty much whatever they want, there is a list of rules they must follow:
• One day each week they must have an all-protein day, as in the Attack phase.
• Eat three tablespoons of oat bran each day.
• Exercise for 20 minutes each day.
• Never take escalators or elevators.
Importantly, the stabilisation phase is a long-term plan that becomes part of the individual's lifestyle. Dieters are also advised to take multivitamins with minerals.
While the diet has worked for many people, Grant argues that there are a number of drawbacks, and many critics have labelled it nutritionally incomplete on the basis that it does not include valuable foods such as fruits and grains. In addition, Grant notes that dieters are at an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease and worsening cardiovascular health. He said that the diet has even been linked to kidney stones.

The Journal of the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and SchoolsVolume 3, No.1January 2015
Among expectations of post-secondary education in general, and
of private, independent colleges and schools in particular, is a
high degree of efficiency regarding the enrollment and completion
of students. The expectation has been expressed by policymakers,
funding sources, and the accreditation community in various forms;
at the federal level, the expectation is manifest as "on-time
graduation rate" as reported through the Integrated Post-Secondary
Education Data System (IPEDS).
ACICS recognizes the value of measuring and reporting the
efficiency of member institutions in enrolling students and keeping
them enrolled through completion or graduation. ACICS codified that
recognition when it added "graduation rates" to the list of
institutional effectiveness elements required of all institutions.
The Council also recognized that because the IPEDS definition
applies only to first-time, full-time students, it creates an
incomplete analysis of efficiency by institutions that primarily
enroll part-time students, many of whom have had a post-secondary
education experience before.
One of the issues raised during the President's Town Hall in
November was the persistence of the "graduation rate, when
available" element of the published Campus Effectiveness Plan
(CEP). Members want to know if ACICS will develop a definition that
is more applicable to students enrolled at private, independent
institutions, when it will be available, and how it will be
benchmarked, such as a required minimum graduation or completion
ACICS remains committed to measuring and evaluating the
enrollment-to-completion efficiency of member institutions,
partially as a proxy of quality and effectiveness, and partially to
respond to expectations from the broader community.
In the first case, available literature establishes a direct
link between "deeper learning" or student engagement in the
instructional process and stronger graduation and completion rates.
See more)
In the second case, low graduation and completion rates are
frequently cited as indications of poor quality by policy advocates
and critics. They assume that students do not persist or graduate
because the educational experience lacks quality.
The Council has clearly articulated its focus on enhancing the
student experience through the ACICS accreditation program. (
See ACICS Mission and Value Statements) One important
opportunity to directly apply that focus is by tracking, reviewing,
and holding institutions accountable for efficiency in graduating a
majority of the students they enroll.
Devising a comprehensive graduation metric that will
appropriately capture the outcomes derived from a diverse student
population is a work in progress. Unlike the IPEDS metric, no
alternative, comprehensive graduation metric is currently in wide
use by the higher education community. Emerging student demographic
trends simply do not align with IPEDS. ACICS is working to develop
an original measuring stick.
The scope of institutional effectiveness metrics applied to
ACICS institutions is robust and relevant to the experience of
students. In aspiring to establish standards for completion and
graduation efficiency, the Council is fortifying that scope with a
new metric that matters.
Albert C. Gray, President and CEO
AWARE Webinar Reminder
Important changes and clarifications to the Council's
definitions and thresholds for student achievement performance are
described in the
January Memo to the Field. The published guidance also
elaborates on the due process protections afforded institutions
with retention, placement or licensure exam pass rates (program
level only) that are below standard. The changes to policy will be
discussed in greater detail during the AWARE Webinar scheduled for
2:00 p.m. EST Thursday, February 5, 2015.
Register for the webinar.
Call for Proposals: ACICS 2015 Annual Conference
ACICS is seeking proposals for breakout session presentations at the 2015 Annual Conference in Las Vegas, May 27 through 29. Categories of topics include enhancing student success, making that
international connection, engaging military veterans, information technology - central to your success, and investing in your teachers. Proposals,on these or other topics of your choosing, may
be submitted on the ACICS Annual Conference website. All proposals are due
by Friday, February 27, 2015.
WIA/WIB Research: Your Participation Requested
ACICS has commissioned research regarding participation by member institutions in training programs funded by the Workforce Investment Act and local Workforce Investment Boards. The research will guide ACICS in reviewing short-term, non-credit programs and developing better ways to evaluate program effectiveness. A targeted survey of institutions currently offering short-term programs has been completed; soon all ACICS colleges and schools will be asked to complete the brief on-line survey to better inform the final report. The survey is completely voluntary, but member institutions are encouraged to participate. (Read detailed information)

Album Review: Shonen Knife - Free Time
Posted by Jason Glastetter on Friday, August 27, 2010
(Good Charamel Records)
Imagine an all-female Japanese punk band for a second. Got it? Good. Chances are the images circling in your brain involve cute lyrics with thick accents and distorted, Ramones-esque guitars. Basically, you've already imagined Shonen Knife circling around your thoughts without even realizing it. Considering the band's lengthy career (spanning several decades now), they're likely responsible for many of the niche genre's conventions, and they keep it up with their 2010 release, Free Time.
The album was released earlier this year in Japan, but an English version of the record drops this Tuesday, August 31 on Good Charamel Records. And it's really just what you'd expect, that pop-punk sound, the accent, and some silly lyrics thrown in for good measure. There are also two bonus tracks with this release; however, these tracks (while a welcome addition) also reveal some of the new album's weaknesses.
In particular, a bonus Japanese version of "Rock N Roll Cake" is included, and it's impossible not to want to compare it to the English one. In the band's native language, the song is just much more raw and aggressive. Translating the track results in a slower song that may be poppier and more accessible but it's also just a little less interesting. Don't get it wrong, Shonen Knife still delivered a great album with the english version of Free Time, but one cannot help but wonder what may have been lost in translation.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
| 📖 # 14 |
Title: To Kill A Mockingbird
Author: Harper Lee
Start Date: 4/1/16
End Date: 4/1/16
# of Pages: 336
Edition: Harper reprint hardcover (2015)
Favorite Quotes: (1) "…it drew him as the moon draws water…" (2) "Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." (3) "When the three of us came to her house, Atticus would sweep off his hat, wave gallantly to her and say 'Good evening, Mrs. Dubose! You look like a picture this evening.' I never heard Atticus say like a picture of what." (4) "Atticus said that Jem was trying hard to forget something, but what he was really doing was storing it away for a while, until enough time passed. Then he would be able to think about it and sort things out."
Why I Chose It: My family spent my sophomore year of high school in England, and I believe that was the year that CAL students read this book. So, as much as it seems a heinous crime, I had not read it! My general understanding is that it is one of the most appreciated "assigned" readings from high school, so I was eager to jump in.
Other Notes: This is a powerful story. And an extremely sad one. The perspective of a child on very important subjects is refreshing and revealing, and I couldn't help but observe parallels to what I see in the world, and our country today, watching some of it unfold through Jem and Scout's eyes. The thought that echoes through my head as I close the book comes from a weary Atticus, "It's not okay to hate anybody."

Justice Programs facilitates the shared governance of the system through the representative Statewide System Management Group; assists counties and agencies that wish to use WISCOM for all their daily radio traffic; provides support, training, and technical assistance for WISCOM users; and administers all user fees and contracts that fund the maintenance and operations of the system.
WISCOM allows responders across the state to seamlessly communicate during a major disaster. WISCOM dramatically increases the communications capacity currently provided by conventional mutual aid channels, and saves taxpayer dollars by sharing a common infrastructure.
The shared WISCOM system creates a communications capacity previously non-existent in Wisconsin. It is designed to operate with existing radio systems, and is flexible and open enough to work with the many different local and regional systems currently operating in the state. WISCOM can also be expanded to accommodate more channels, and local agencies may find it cost-effective to discontinue maintaining their local systems and use WISCOM for all of their daily radio traffic.
To achieve WISCOM, the state leveraged 80 existing state-owned communication towers and other infrastructure, and made use of longer-range VHF frequencies, which require fewer tower sites to cover the state. Wisconsin modified existing radio towers owned and maintained by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (the towers facilitate radio communications for the State Patrol) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources by installing WISCOM equipment on their 80 tower sites as well as other related equipment. OJA contracts with the State Patrol for the technical administration of WISCOM equipment.

Clyde Jackman is the latest provincial Conservative to quit politics.
That's not surprising. He was supposed to go in 2011 but hung around to make sure the party didn't have to make an serious changes in people or policies.
Jackman had a few colourful moments during his political career, not the least of which was his stint as fish minister. He scuttled an historic agreement to reform the fishery. Clyde and his colleagues couldn't be arsed to spend money on it when they had all their cash tied up in other things.
Then there was the time Clyde and his colleagues couldn't be arsed to fund an historic commemoration when Clyde was responsible for tourism.
Other than being part of the crowd that added more public debt to the back's of provincial taxpayers than all the other administrations since Confederation combined, Clyde Jackman had a relatively tame political career compared to some of his colleagues.
Now Clyde is retiring. Not surprising really. In 2011, he barely scraped back into office in a situation where his party didn't face huge opposition. Clyde wasn't alone. Lots of his colleagues kept their seats by only the thinnest of margins. it's only when you look at the numbers that you realise how just close the Conservatives came to losing in 2011. It wouldn't have taken much,.
Good bye and good luck, Clyde.
Enjoy the grand-kids.

I met a friend the other day, a woman I hadn't seen for a few months, and when she saw me she said, Oh, you look so young! It pleased me more than I think it should have to have that word applied to me, even though it was most likely out of charity and sweet friendship.
I really think I should be more mature about my maturity by now.
But in spite of that, I think I'm entering this new year with a sense of beauty I haven't allowed myself to experience before.
There's this period of time, you see, between being young and beautiful, and being old and beautiful. It's a settling time, a learning-to-find-peace-in-the-changing-landscape-of-one's-body time. It's my time, and while I've a ways to go, I'm finding the adjustment more peaceful than I thought I would. I'm looking at us all, myself included, though wiser, kinder, gentler eyes. We are gorgeous women, we really are, in our wholeness. Gorgeous in our years and our bodies and our spirits and our minds. Lovely in our selves, beyond the youthful yearning for perfection.
These days I am sweet to myself, mostly. I look myself in the eye and I like what I see, because what I see is a woman living her story, treasuring the chapters past and anticipating those to come. There's no hollywood script with perfect words or well-chosen wardrobe. There's little yearning for better or more. There are only lives, mine and yours, winding and bumping and crashing their ways through the days allowed.
I am softer now, and it's not just in the skin. There's a deeper gentleness that forgives easier and accepts flaws more gracefully and is more content with the making do of imperfection.
Today is the first of a new bundle of days. There is some magic in this beginning, if I look for it. It's the magic of renewal, and renewal is meant to be kind and sweet and encouraging. I've spent other firsts more critically. I've seen failure and need for improvement and I've been stern with myself.
Today though, this first day of this new year, I'm not looking to recreate. I'm not looking to improve on or make better. I'm not scolding myself for not being more or not doing enough. Instead, I'm smiling at myself and laughing a little at the way that smile folds up my face in generous lines. I'm combing my hair and not telling myself it's too long for my age or too silver for its length. I'm pulling warm clothes over a body that has borne three babies and hugged sorrow and shaken with anger and with laughter. I'm pulling bright red fuzzy socks over feet that have walked miles around the world and around my kitchen. I'm rubbing sweet lotion into fingers that have held the hand of a husband for almost half my life, and it's all a wonder.
Women, we are adorned, so adorned, with all our years and all our stories, and we are beautiful.
Hello new year. Let's be friends. Let's mark these days with laughter and great love and sweet moments and grace. Let's be quick with forgiveness and happy to overlook the small offence. Let's wear comfortable clothes and drink our tea with honey and read good words and smile at all the children. Let's be women… gorgeous, lovely, beautiful women… in our worlds.
Blessings on your heads, blessings on your hands, blessings on your hearts, dear friends. May 2015 find you drowning in kindness and love.

This last weekend, Christey and I hung out in Epcot for my birthday. Besides eating our way around the world, we rode the "Living with the Land" ride in the Land pavilion. The first part of the tour is an interesting ride through Earth's ecological zones -- rainforests, deserts, through history and so forth. The second half of the ride goes through Disney's greenhouse and experimental farming labs. Many of Disney's restaurants get their vegetables (and some of their fish) from stock grown in the Land pavilion. So, for a foodie, of course, it was really interesting to see what Disney is doing in the way of experimentation.
Florida is sub-tropical, but the greenhouses and controlled environment make it possible to grow exotics not native to Orlando, such as jackfruit and dragonfruit, not to mention the more accessible fruits like papaya and banana.
Other than tropicals, they experiment growing lettuce-type greens in environments that are outside the traditional ecosystems
A lot of the vegetables/fruits were heavily influenced by Disney experimentation, however. If you take a tomato plant, an annual that lives roughly spring through early fall, and almost truss it -- instead of the compact poultry trussing meant to keep the meat compact, the tomato growers tie it up to struts to actually spread out the plant, to increase surface area for both sunlight absorption and CO2 consumption -- they can keep a tomato plant producing for almost two years. And not only tomatoes, but squash and zucchini and pumpkin...which normally grow close to the ground, but are now pulled up and suspended in mid-air, with the fruits tied and supported so they don't rip the whole plant out of the air.
Now, add to that innovation by supporting huge fruit like pumpkin (with zip-ties and netting), and even enclosing these huge fruits in clear containers to mold them into shapes (like, say, Mickey Mouse), and this is really pushing the envelope of farming.
Disney also works with hydroponic techniques -- no dirt, no sand or soil, just rotate plants through nutrient baths, or keep them in a flowing nutrient mixture, and herbs and vegetables like lettuce grow almost in thin air.
Disney also experiments with farming of proteins -- eel, tilapia, and even alligator
Most of this food, they say, makes its way to Disney restaurants. If you have a cucumber salad where the cukes are shaped in a Mickey-head, the cukes probably didn't come from Mexico or Rancho Verde, California.
On the other hand, the Ahi, the mahi mahi, the black angus, and the blue points are not coming from Epcot. This was an amazing peek into the modern surface of farming technology, though, there was only a minimal quick-mention-in-passing of the benefits of gene-manipulating. But I'm wondering how much of this would work in the real world, where even viewing the farm isn't subsidized by a $55.00 ticket into the park. Hand-stretching/trussing of plants, custom lucite vegetable molds, having to hand-tie each individual fruit to a framework so they don't rip apart the mother plant....yes, the plants last longer than the "real world", but there is so much human involvement in each individual plant that I can't imagine the free market would support this in the real culinary world.
To Disney's credit, they aren't pretending this technology is Green or will solve hunger problems in Africa. They're pushing this more in futuristic terms -- the 18-month lifespan of a tomato "tree" would make sense in a "self-sustaining trip to Mars" or "greenhouses in orbit" or "learning techniques now to apply in the future". Hand-teased produce, even with a 300% fruit-bearing lifespan can't compete with a 395-acre semi-automated farm in west Nebraska growing tomatoes for $0.05 a fruit, wholesale. Even if the taste is 3000% more savory.
Still, it was a fun look into what may or may not be the future of plant growing, and what may push the envelope of what anyone might thing of traditional farming, either antique or modern.

How To Become An Insurance Agent In Kentucky
What Kind Of Agent Are You Going To Be?A majority of people who are applying for their insurance license have a plan in already in place of where they are going to use it. If you don't yet have a plan on how you will be using your insurance license, this is the place to start. Here are some of the questions that you should ask yourself:
- What type of insurance am I going to sell?
- Home & Auto? Life Insurance? Variable Life Insurance? This will tell you which "lines of authority" that you need to hold. The most common lines of authority are Property & Casualty (P&C) and Life, Accident, & Health (L&H).
- Am I starting my own agency or working inside of an existing agency?
- It may depend on how your agency is set up to tell you what type of licenses you need to hold.
- What types of licenses does my company require me to hold?
- Whether working for an agency, or owning an agency, you may be required by the company to hold more than one type of license.
How To Get Your Insurance License In Kentucky
1. Pre-License Education
The first step in getting a Kentucky insurance license is taking pre-license education courses. These are state required courses pertaining to the subject matter that will be on the license exam. To fill the pre-license requirement, you must complete twenty (20) hours of education coursework per line of authority that you wish to hold. You will receive a certificate upon completion of the course. Keep this certificate, as you will need it when taking your exam.
Example: If you want to get a Life Insurance license, then you would need to take twenty (20) hours of coursework. If you are going for Life, Accident, & Health (LA&H), forty (40) hours is your requirement. For Life, Accident & Health (LA&H) and Property & Casualty (P&C), you will need eighty (80) hours total of pre-license education.
Most applicants choose to take these courses online, as it fits their schedule better, but there are also in-person courses available. You should choose which format in which to take your courses based on your preferred method of learning. The goal isn't just to get the courses out of the way, it's to prepare you to pass your license exam on the first attempt.
For pre-license education products and courses, StateRequirement recommends:
2. Background Check
Kentucky requires that all insurance license applicants initiate a background check prior to licensing. If you have any prior misdemeanors or felonies, this may affect the outcome of your licensing efforts. For more information on this topic, call the Kentucky Department of Insurance at (502) 564-6004 or email the License Department.
The fee for having a background check run online is $25.
To initiate the background check, go to the Kentucky Court of Justice AOCFastCheck system, then follow these steps:
- Select "Register"
- Leave the top radio button selected, and fill out the form to register yourself for the system
- You will receive an email with a verification link -- open it and click the link
- Login to the AOC FastCheck system with the information you just registered
- Select "Create New Record Request"
- Category "Licensing" -- Group "Dept. of Insurance (DOI)" -- Reason "Licensing"
- Complete form with all of your information, then select "Add To Batch"
- On the bottom, left of the page, the "Submit Request" button should now be usable -- Select "Submit Request"
- Follow any further instructions
This can be an arduous task, so if you have any questions, call the Kentucky Court of Justice at (502) 573-2350, and ask to speak to "Records."
3. Insurance License Exams
The last step after completing all of your pre-license coursework, and submitting your application and background check, is to take the insurance exam. You will take one exam for each line of insurance you wish to carry.
This is a proctored test, which means that you will be in a controlled environment with a person watching you. For people who haven't tested in a situation like this should be aware of this fact, and work on taming their nerves prior to sitting for the exam.
The fee for each attempt of the exams is $50.
When you arrive you must have a photo ID and the original pre-license education certificate.
The exams in Kentucky are all 50 questions long and require a minimum of 70% correct answers to pass.
Kentucky and Kaplan Financial provide content outlines for each exam:
Kentucky Life Insurance Exam Study Outline
Kentucky Health Insurance Exam Study Outline
Kentucky Property Insurance Exam Study Outline
Kentucky Casualty Insurance Exam Study Outline
Check out our Insurance Exam Guide. It's extremely in-depth, and will hopefully help you pass the first time.
Insurance license tests are intentionally difficult, but not impossible by any means. You should study to the point of comfortability with the information before you attempt the test. Failing the exam isn't the end of the world, but keep in mind that you will need to pay the fee each time you attempt the test.
Note: StateRequirement recommends that you study for one exam at a time, then after passing, starting on your next line. The exams are difficult enough on their own without confusing information from one line to another.
You may register to take your exams and find more information in the Kentucky eServices Tool.
After you have passed your exams, your license will be issued immediately.
4. License Application
Once you have completed your exams and fingerprinting, you are now ready to apply for your license. If you have more than one line of authority that you have passed the exam for, be sure to apply for all of those lines.
The fee for an online application is $40 per line, plus a $5 NIPR fee for a total of $45. You will also pay for your first attempt of each exam you are applying for here.
Fill out your online application on the NIPR Kentucky Insurance page.
5. Application Review
Once you have submitted your application and have filled all the other requirements, your license application will be reviewed by the state. Your background check will also be reviewed.
If everything is to acceptable standards your application should be accepted within a few days.
If there are any items from your background check that need to be reviewed, it may slow down the process of issuance. If this is the case, the state may contact you to provide context to the issues that they have run into.
You've done the work, put in the time and effort, and now hold the key to your own success! We're proud of you. Take five (5) minutes and celebrate.

Today we picked up our first farm share of the season at Deri Farm. We were really happy with our bounty last year, so we signed up again this year.
Here is this week's share:
1. Swiss chard
2. arugula
3. kale
6. hakurei turnips
7. cilantro
8. radishes
It's very similar to week 1 in 2008, so we're happy.
Tonight, Angela made herself a salad for dinner. She used the salad mix and radishes from the farm and some vidalia onion, scallions, carrots, cucumbers, feta, and balsamic vinaigrette from Hannaford
We're working on recipes to use the remaining vegetables.
