About Us
Who we are
One Mile Up was started in 1988 as a graphics company. Originally creating graphics for the government and government contractors, the demand was so high for aircraft drawings that we eventually branched out to create scaled drawings of military and general aviation.
One Mile Up offers libraries of EPS military and civilian graphics for purchase and download.
We also offer our Panel Planner software which allows you to design and fabricate instrument panels for general aviation. We maintain a library of the current instruments according to the manufacturer's specifications. Panel Planner allows you to create a DXF or SVG files to print out for proofing. Viewing can be done in JPG, PNG or PDF format. The DXF file is then taken to the machine shop for the cut out. The product is available for both Macintosh and Windows.
One Mile Up offers an Exterior Planner and an Interior Planner library. The Interior Planner has drawings of 150 sample aircraft floor plans allowing you to design the interior seating of your aircraft.
The Exterior Planner allows the customization of the paint schemes for the outside of the aircraft using over 1000 renderings. These products require a knowledge of Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw.
Hangar Planner is our premier software which allows FBO's to plan the parking of aircraft arriving and departing their facility. We have a library of over 2000 aircraft to scale. The product is available for both Macintosh and Windows.
One Mile Up is constantly working to add new drawings and to upgrade our products for better efficiency. We welcome all customer feedback and suggestions. We also offer free technical support for as long as you own your product.

From the Fields - April
We produce our Texas Native seed right here in Central Texas. Here are some select shots from the field in April.
Oso Halls Panicum is recommended for use in range planting, upland wildlife use, and highway rights-of-way.
A close up of the seed heads of Osos Halls Panicum.
Venado Awnless Sunflower Bush is great for attracting beneficial insects, and white-tailed deer sometimes consume the leaves.
Two different False Rhodesgrasses, Kinney and Hidalgo. Hidalgo is the more fanned out seed head and Kinney is the lighter colored, paintbrush shaped one. Both are used in range restoration plantings.
Lavaca Canada Wildrye is a good cool season forage for livestock and deer. It also provides nesting cover for birds and fawns.
Maverick Pink Pappusgrass and Mariah Hooded Windmillgrass. Maverick Pink Pappusgrall has the tall slender seed heads and Mariah has the shorter, multi spiked seed heads.
Maverick Pink Pappusgrass is used for livestock forage, wildlife cover, retired cropland restoration, and ornamental plantings due to its deep green color with pink hued seedheads.
Here you can see the showy pink seed heads.
As the bluebonnet season begins to wane, the bluebonnet seed production begins. Here the seed pods are maturing and will be harvested soon.
South Texas Sideoats Grama's wide distribution and value as livestock forage make it an important pasture grass statewide.
Welder Shortspike Windmillgrass is frequently used in conservation plantings on roadsides, filter strips, riparian buffs, and more.
Rio Grande Prairie Acacia is semi-woody legume, the plant is an excellent source of forage for both livestock and wildlife, also providing cover for deer and upland birds.

It has been two months since my last post.....and I am ok...still marching in this fight against cancer! I have been so very busy traveling back and forth to Houston every three weeks for dr visits and scans on the INCB 054828 trial. I am on Cycle 8 of this targeted therapy trial for the FGFR2 gene mutation.
I want to thank all the people who messaged me or e-mailed me to see how I was doing since I seem to have a hard time updating lately. I am just so busy living....I can't hardly apologize when I am just having too much fun living life!!
I wanted to mention some of the side effects from my trial. My fingernails are "lifting" and my toenails are ready to fall off (actually two already have). This is a side effect for this trial drug and also the BGJ398 trial that I was on a while back. My left eye is somewhat blurry which is also a common side effect not to mention dry skin, dry eyes, dry mouth....you get the picture. I also have mouth sores by the time I start week two on the trial drug. My mouth gets super sensitive to spices, acid based foods or fruits, anything acidic. I cannot use toothpaste by week two on the trial drug...so I use baking soda for that second week. I also have a mouth swish and swallow drink to use to help keep your mouth healthy. It's all manageable to a certain extent besides food starts to not have much taste. I just go through the motions and eat so I stay at a healthy weight. I will have a vision appointment at my next visit to MD Anderson to see how bad this drug has effected my eyes. Hopefully they will not kick me out of the trial as long as it is not at a stage 3, which is like a high alert and might result in calling the drug company to see if they will let me stay in the trial. We'll cross that bridge when we get there!!
I will also have a scan on my next visit on June 26th & 27th. I don't have any idea what the scan will show. In the past, my scan results have been mixed and have been for several scans. There has been slight growth (a few millimeters) and also some shrinkage so it is putting the breaks on my cancer. Although I have great trial doctors that I see at each visit, they just are not the same as Dr. Milind Javle. He has been a compass for me on this journey with his knowledge and caring attitude. I truly do not believe I would be alive without his expertise on cholangiocarcinoma. He is the best in the U.S according to many people including me.
Before my next visit to Houston, I will be going to Siesta Keys, Florida with my sister-in-law Sheila Stoltz and my cousin Amelia Lydle for a week vacation. I am sure there will be relaxation, eating, reading, and walking on the beach most days.
There have been even more friends who had cholangiocarcinoma that have passed recently. One in particular was diagnosed the same month and same year as me. It really hit home for me and scares the hair off of your head! OK....just my head!! Each friends who passes from this dreadful cancer is a true warrior and I just want to put my head in the sand like it never even happened.....but I know I have to face it and try to stay as positive minded as I can for my own health. It's just hard every single time and it never gets easier.
I have also been in contact with CURE magazine that is all about cancer, research, articles about rare cancers and not so rare cancers. They contacted me and wanted to do an article on cholangiocarcinoma and a patient with CC. I agreed and the lady writing the article actually read my blog over a weekend and could pretty much write the article with everything she acquired from the blog. She did interview me over the phone also. Tonight, (June 13th) I had a photographer from Effingham come to my house to get a few pictures taken for Cure magazine and the article that will be published sometime in the near future. Most people have not heard of CURE magazine unless you have had to deal with cancer or a family member has. I have been receiving it for several years and after reading the magazine several times, I usually mail them to cancer patients because many of the articles are a wealth of information. I have always loved their magazine and was honored when they wanted to include me in a piece on cholangiocarcinoma. I will update when the article is actually available or I have a few copies.
So....as you can see, I truly have been busy. My step daughter Kate just left today after flying in to visit for several days. She brought her boyfriend and it truly was a nice visit and long overdue. We spent time with her sisters and all the nieces and nephews. Joe's Pizza was one of the first foods Kate wanted from 'home' so Joe's it was!! Pat and I hope to get out to visit Kate and see Massachusetts and Connecticut by the end of summer. It's just a wait and see game to decide when Pat and I actually do have time to travel somewhere besides Houston, Texas. BUT, as long as I am still going, I AM ALIVE!!
That's it for now folks!! Stay tuned!!
My daughter Leslie came over before my CURE photo shoot to do my makeup. She did a great job and I am so thankful my daughters are always there for me!! Leslie took this picture of me but it looks pretty good to me!!

As millennial-boasting populist Sen. Bernie SandersBernie SandersGabbard hits DNC over poll criteria for debates The Hill's Campaign Report: Democratic field begins to shrink ahead of critical stretch Keystone XL Pipeline gets nod from Nebraska Supreme Court MORE (I-Vt.) surges to front-runner in the crucial first primaries of Iowa and New Hampshire, many ask how he'll perform past that. For several months, some have raised doubts (this writer included) about Sanders's ability to break through a Clinton Machine "firewall" (that's the latest buzzword) in Nevada and South Carolina, due to heavy blocs of black and Latino voters. Recent signs suggest some scrambling toward a Clinton campaign write-off on the first two primaries, a "let Bernie have it" strategy that refocuses resources in much more diverse states.
That calculus, now, finds itself mired in complications as African-American voters — once viewed as solidly, when not tepidly, supportive of Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonThe road not taken: Another FBI failure involving the Clintons surfaces DHS cyber agency to prioritize election security, Chinese threats ABC chose a debate moderator who hates Trump MORE in 2016 (notwithstanding any 2008 grudges) — show some interest in Sanders. While there are reservations both in terms of cosmetics and grumpiness quotient, a growing number of black voters appear to appreciate Sanders's seemingly unapologetic stands on the economy in a time of increased election cycle focus on foreign policy.
As a result, in a late-December Public Policy Polling poll, Sanders had 42 percent favorability among African-Americans compared to 73 percent favorability for Clinton. Clinton's lead among black voters in South Carolina (where she really needs to stop Sanders) has also dropped steadily from 86 percent in October to 76 percent currently, according to YouGov. There, Sanders has seen a 15 percent rise in black favorability. He's also at 21 percent black favorability in the most recent Monmouth University poll.
That spirited conversation on whether Sanders actually pulls off an upset and routs Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary assumes millennial voters as the key factor. The 18-to-35 age bracket is widely viewed as the core of Sanders's rise in the polls since last summer, catapulting him in now spectacular and once unbelievable across-the-board increases.
So, naturally, in order to break through Clinton's firewall of black voters in places like South Carolina, conventional wisdom says all Sanders has to do is fire up the black youth vote.
But, in all the hype surrounding youth voters (including #BlackLivesMatter-focused black millennials), there's still a big question mark: Will they turn out?
That question above then prompts what could be, arguably, an even bigger question: What about black senior voters?
White senior voters certainly got all the props in a recent New York Times piece that picked up that, at the end of the day, it's older over-50 voters who consistently dominate at real polls in ways that younger, louder voters do not. Republican front-runner Donald Trump may be in danger of finding that out the hard way in places like Iowa and New Hampshire, should his deliberate and rather frugal lack of ground game fail to channel any millennial or Gen-X exuberance. Right now, older white voters over the age of 65 aren't feeling him.
In that type of analysis, black voters never get the courtesy of similar segmentations. There's just a general presumption of all black people thinking the same way, falling in the same income group, being the same age, living in the same hoods and supporting the same candidates.
The discussion on decisive black voters favors a focus on what black millennial voters will do, even when there's little evidence proving they're even close to being reliable the same way their elders are in primaries. When data center on so-called "senior voters" or "elder voters," holes begin showing in Sanders's current surge. While there's no specific "black senior" or African-Americans over-age-50 voter data readily available (just yet), a look at voter favorability and preference ratings by race and age show Clinton, if only slightly, outpacing Sanders with black voters and seniors.
Combining the two data-sets shows Sanders somewhat vulnerable among black senior voters (with many holding on to the Clinton brand since the early 1990s). That enthusiasm for President Bill ClintonWilliam (Bill) Jefferson ClintonDemocratic governors fizzle in presidential race Israel should resist Trump's efforts to politicize support Poll shows Biden, Warren tied with Trump in Arizona MORE among older African-Americans may not translate completely into an advantage for Hillary Clinton (particularly with a few still bothered by Bill's initial arrogance and dismissive racial paternalism toward then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008). But it may provide decent enough protection when she reaches South Carolina and other states with large black Democratic primary bases.
In the latest YouGov/Economist polling, Clinton still shows 63 percent national favorability ratings among black voters (even though she'll need that at 90 percent or more if she reaches the general election phase). And despite some low favorability numbers among voters ages 45 and older, Clinton outperforms Sanders among both blacks and seniors on the question of whom they expect the Democratic nominee will be and who will win the general election. When asked, 58 percent of voters 65 years of age or older consider Clinton the nominee, compared to only 15 percent for Sanders. Black voters agree; 60 percent for Clinton and 18 percent for Sanders in the latest YouGov tally.
Even as Sanders has substantially closed the gap between himself and Clinton nationally with the millennial enthusiasm wind behind his sails, the jury is still out: Can millennials match their bark with turnout bite?
Looking at youth voting trends since 1964, it's not clear that they will. Typically, seniors (or voters 65 years and over) boast much higher voter turnout rates. In 2012, that voting block had the highest turnout rate, at 69.7 percent, compared to 18-to-24-year-olds at only 38 percent and voters 25-to-44 years of age at less than 50 percent.
And as Michael McDonald's United States Election Project shows, while senior voter participation dropped from nearly 70 percent in 2012 (steady from 2008 and 2004) to a little under 55 percent in the 2014 midterm elections, it was still much higher than voters ages 18-to-29. Millennial voter turnout was just 45 percent in 2012 (down from 51 percent in 2008) and under 20 percent in 2014.
The number of registered black millennial voters who voted in the 2012 election was still slightly higher than whites in the same group by several percentage points. But our present tendency toward outright dismissal of black senior and elder voters may find us rightfully re-evaluating initial judgements.

Heather Francis is a registered nurse and certified diabetes educator working in an endocrinology clinic at Tanner Clinic in Layton, Utah. Heather volunteered to participate in the Fakebetes Challenge and was paired with Jennifer Cruze. During the Fakebetes Challenge Heather wore an insulin pump containing saline, tested her glucose, and counted her carbohydrates. Throughout the challenge Jennifer would text Heather glucose levels or symptoms that Heather would need to respond to in real time. Last week you read Jennifer's guest post describing her experience during the Fakebetes Challenge, here is what Heather had to say about her experience.
Why did you decide to do the Fakebetes Challenge?
I decided to do the challenge to help me be more sympathetic and understanding for the people I work with.
What did you gain from the Fakebetes Challenge?
I gained a better understanding of what it would be like to be living with diabetes. I also realized that practicing what you preach can be difficult at times. I admit I missed some preprandial blood sugars and insulin doses for snacks on the run.
Was there anything that surprised you?
I was surprised by all of the things my partner had to remember and keep track of all of the time. Such as, making sure her pump had enough battery left, her dexcom is charged, and her meter is charged. My partner brought up many things I hadn't even thought of before. For instance, I told her I'd be going to the gym in the morning. I planned on taking my BG before exercise and bringing some glucose tablets. My partner asked if I had a medical alert bracelet or if I had provided the gym with an emergency contact. Both are very practical and something everyone should do, I had just never thought of doing it.
How did the Fakebetes Challenge affect your day-to-day activities?
I definitely had to think about things and plan more. I usually count carbs anyway, but during the challenge, I had to make sure I was consistent and accurate. I also had to figure out how to make things work in different social situations. I attended a pool party one night. I wanted to wear my pump as much as possible to get enough basal, but the pump wasn't waterproof. Everything worked out well, I just had to plan ahead and make it work.
Has your perspective of someone living with diabetes changed?
My perspective has changed. I told my partner that having diabetes reminded me of having a new baby. Throughout the day, you have to be prepared for a bunch of different types of scenarios. If you plan on going anywhere, you need to plan ahead and bring things to make all of the different scenarios work. Activities can still be enjoyable, but may need to be altered just a little to complement your lifestyle and diabetes.
Who else should participate in the Fakebetes Challenge?
I think anyone who provides care/guidance/encouragement/education to people living with diabetes would benefit from the challenge. You learn what its really like and you may even pick up some cool tricks or hints to pass along to those you work with.
Thank you Heather and Jennifer for participating in the Fakebetes Challenge! If you are a healthcare provider or are a person living with diabetes and would like to participate in the Fakebetes Challenge please contact me.

Looking for something adventurous to photograph? A fishing trip is the perfect solution. Fishing trips go hand in hand with plenty of scenic shots, adventure shots, action shots and trophy shots. These trips are the perfect opportunity to get good photography practice and to try out new angles and new ideas. And hopefully the following tips will help you capture amazing fishing shots.
No catch means no glory
Some photographers are multi-skilled some are not. It is perfectly fine not to be the world's best fishermen but what is not ok is going on a fishing photography expedition – without catching any fish. There has to be at least something to show. To get the right catch you will of course need the right fishing gear. Good fishing gear also makes the fishermen look a lot more credible on your shots. You will need a good fishing rod, a good fishing reel, hooks and sinkers, bait and a good fishing outfit to accommodate you on your trip and to help you actually get that fish.
Hold that fish for photos
Holding the fish for a pose shot is quite hard but is a must for a great photograph series finale. Holding the fish however isn't quite as simple as it might seem. Fish are slippery and it might take a bit of practice before your subject gets the right hold and the right poses but it will be worth your extra waiting time.
Capture the gear
Don't just capture your landscapes and faces. It could be nice to see what gear you used on your fishing expedition as well.
Fishing silhouettes are superb!
Wait until the golden hour and capture an image of the silhouette of the fishermen and his fishing rod against the shiny waters. Fishing silhouettes are beautiful, interesting and great for online sales.
Don't miss out on action shots
Action shots are great photography practice and they make these trips seem much more adventurous. Remember to capture action shots of casting, catching, baiting and any other action shot you can work in.
Snacks and beverages
A shot or two of your drinks and snacks can also create a story for your photo series and can be an interesting find when you are looking back on old adventure shoots.
Portraits are always great
The outdoors and shoreline is the perfect shot to get some terrific portrait images of friends and family members. It is always great to see exactly what people looked like during these trips and natural fishing portraits can be a good way to bring reality into your images.
Of course you need a few landscape shots of the fishing waters, river shores, gorgeous sunsets or whatever else may be interesting. Landscape shots are always great to recall exactly what your fishing spot looked like.
Work with natural sunlight
Sunlight is hard to work with but can be a great ally when it comes to creating interesting and unique fishing shots. Try to capture sunbeams on interesting angles so your fishy photos can shine.

Samantha Plumley and Leanne Signoriello – 1851 Staff
Whether it be through Lasell's concept of connected learning or the inspiration to complete internships, Lasell is not shy when it comes to providing students the opportunities to transition into life after graduation. Recently, members of the Lasell community had the opportunity to shootfor networking opportunities.
A small group of Lasell students attended the two-day Shooting Touch Sports Conference at Babson College during the last weekend of March. Shooting Touch is a non-profit program that works on furthering education and opportunities, whether they be for athletics or for personal development, for innercity children. The organization holds an annual sports conference to help individuals expand personal networking opportunities for business and entrepreneurship.
The conference featured panelists including a number of CEOs, COOs, and other marketing executives. A few of the big names featured at this year's conference included Brad Stevens, head coach of the Boston Celtics, and Jackie MacMullen, analyst and commentator for ESPN, along with Keynote Speaker Kevin Eastman, Vice President of the Los Angeles Clippers.
"There were several panels and speakers that highlighted areas within the Sport Industry that included front office and team operations, broadcasting and media, sports entrepreneurship, and coaching" said senior Shawn Fleurie, a sports management major, who was in attendance at the conference.
Junior Ryan McFadden, a creative advertising major, was one of the students who also attended the conference. "I knew that it was aimed towards sports communications students. But I actually found out that the second day of the conference, a lot of it was based on personal marketing and marketing itself, and I thought that it was beneficial for what I am doing," said McFadden.
The two speakers who McFadden found to be the most influential were Robert Lewis and Ethan Zohn, who were both featured at the Social Innovation panel. Both speakers are heavily invested in using sports to better the community. Lewis is the President of The Base, a Boston based organization that uses sports as a means for character development for youth. Zohn and the organization that he co-founded, Grassroots Soccer, use the sport of soccer to raise awareness of and eliminate HIV. Lewis and Zohn reflected and spoke about why they were inspired to start their companies.
"I try to take every opportunity and see what I can get from it," said McFadden.
During the networking sessions, McFadden met students outside the Lasell community along with business professionals. He was approached by a number of executives about potential internship opportunities. "I was able to talk to a Nike sales executive as well as get his contact information. He was very promising about seeing what he could do to help me," said McFadden.
Interaction among the conference attendees was not restricted to the networking sessions. Attendees were encouraged
to live-tweet the event. Throughout the event, there was a contest on Instagram, which provided an opportunity to interact
on social media. A prize was given to the winner of the contest.
"'You never make a shot you don't take,' was a common phrase during the event and it speaks volumes to where the amazing group of professionals are now by taking risks to further their growth," said Fleurie.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Jelly Bean Update For US: Here We Go Again
To some people the Samsung Galaxy S2 is considered to be a dinosaur, however it has a developer community that is healthy and it has had a lot of hype behind it still, and as such the device is still prominent.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Jelly Bean update
Therefore it wasn't a huge surprise when Samsung announced that they would be updating the device to Jelly Bean 4.1. The company said that owners of the Samsung Galaxy S2 can expect to get the update around February. At the moment the update is set to roll out in Singapore, which has a population of less than 10 million individuals.
The fact that Samsung chose to release the update first to one of the smallest markets brings up some bad memories for owners of the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Anyone living in the US and who owns the handset with Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile will know about the issues they had with ICS. Many critics said that Samsung were the worst for updates due to this issue, despite the fact the update rollout schedules also rely on carriers.
Now it can happen all over again with the Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Galaxy S2 on Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T. Owners will no doubt get the update at some point this year. However don't hold your breath that you will get it before the second half of this year despite Samsung saying it comes out in February.
Also, as the device is two years old, owners may give up on it and make the upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4 shortly as their contracts end. While I would like to believe Samsung will roll out the Jelly Bean update in a timely fashion here in the US, I don't think carriers are interested enough about the aging handset to give the same priority.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Sprint's top executive has committed to run the company until it resolves its legal battle over hiring away a replacement from BellSouth.
The company said Chief Executive William Esrey and Chief Financial Officer Ron LeMay will keep their posts during a transition period. Sprint plans to make BellSouth executive Gary Forsee its new chief executive "as soon as permitted by Georgia courts."
So far, BellSouth BLS, +0.00% has blocked the move, citing concern about trade secrets. Yet a court in Georgia, BellSouth's home state, said the dispute should be solved by arbitration.
That raises the likelihood that Forsee will be allowed to take the top job at Sprint, where he has previously worked, once a temporary restraining order expires in 30 days.
Esrey, the longtime CEO, and LeMay, his onetime designated successor, have lost the backing of the board amid a dispute over a tax shelter that both executives used.
By staying on, they prevent a leadership crisis from derailing the company at a delicate stage in its attempt to recover financially from an industrywide slump and intense bout of competition.
On Tuesday, shares of Sprint FON, -3.80% rose 9 cents to $12.39.
Elsewhere in the telecom sector, Qualcomm QCOM, +0.83% shares gained 3 cents to $37.65 after the wireless-technology bellwether said it will pay its first-ever dividend of 5 cents a share.
Qualcomm also plans to spend up to $1 billion over the next two years in a stock buyback. See full story.
The gain by Qualcomm was not enough to prevent the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index from turning lower. The index, which tracks younger equipment manufacturers and phone carriers, ended down 0.2 percent. Qualcomm is by far the index's largest stock.
The index's 20 largest stocks were split between advancers and decliners.
Similarly, the American Stock Exchange's Networking Index, which represents large manufacturers, slid 0.3 percent. Stocks ended narrowly mixed.
Big phone stocks, measured by Standard & Poor's Communications Services Index, fell 1.8 percent.
SBC Communications SBC, -0.01% dropped 3.2 percent to $23.71, while BellSouth slipped 1.8 percent to $22.90, to pull the index down. Sprint PCS PCS shed 5 percent to $3.80.
Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission said it would push back a key public meeting slated for Thursday. The meeting will now be held on Feb. 20.
At the meeting, the FCC is due to decide whether to ease requirements on the Baby Bells as to what parts of their networks they have to lease to rivals. The agency also has to decide if it will assert the right to set wholesale prices and limit the ability of states to tinker with rates.
If the FCC decides to provide regulatory relief to the Baby Bells, it could make it harder for rivals to offer local phone service. Foes of regulatory relief argue that such a move would reduce competition.
The Bells argue that wholesale rates are set too low and vary from state to state, giving them little financial incentive to upgrade networks with newer technologies ideally suited for high-speed Internet access.
The FCC, divided between three Republicans and two Democrats, are split. The swing vote, GOP member Kevin Martin, has publicly backed the role of states in setting wholesale prices. By contrast, FCC Chairman Michael Powell believes in a more uniform approach.
The agency is also considering whether to gradually require rivals of the Baby Bells to install some of their own network assets, such as the switches that route calls to and from their intended destinations.

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do — and if not, I'd be happy to take the leftovers off your hands 🙂
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 12 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 C celery slices
- 2-3 mangos, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 (2″) piece of fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 C lime juice
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos
- 1/4 C honey
- 2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1/4 C apple cider vinegar
- Heat skillet, then add oil.
- Sear chicken 2-3 minutes, until brown. Turn over and sear other side another 2-3 minutes.
- While chicken is searing, slice celery, chop mango, and mince garlic – set these aside. Measure remaining ingredients all together into a bowl.
- When chicken is browned, remove pieces from the skillet and set aside. Add celery, mango, and garlic to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery starts to soften and mango begins to caramelize.
- Add remaining ingredients (measured while chicken was searing) to skillet, mix the sauce well, mashing mango a bit, then add chicken back into skillet.
- Turn chicken over so that pieces are coated with the sauce. Place lid on skillet and simmer until chicken is completely cooked, about 20-30 minutes (depending on size of chicken pieces).
Serve chicken with sauce over cauliflower rice. Serves 6.
Note: This is my variation of a recipe over at Tara Perillo Wellness.

No, things did not go very well once the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Bottles were thrown and people were getting in fights.
Though the Jacksonville Jaguars improved to 9-4 after their win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, their fans just couldn't enjoy the victory, now could they. Instead, we had bottles flying out of the EverBank Field stands in the direction of Seahawks players.
Seahawks defensive end Quinton Jefferson took exception to this beverage tossing in his direction and just about climbed into the EverBank Field stands to fight some Jaguars fans. In short, we almost got the NFL version of the Malice in the Palace.
You would have thought that something really bad happened during the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Perhaps either the Florida Gators or the Georgia Bulldogs did something dumb to set EverBank Field off like this. Nope, turns out the change of guard in the NFL's best secondary from the Pacific Northwest to North Florida was not a smooth defensive back inauguration.
Could you imagine if these two defensive-minded teams met in the playoffs? Well, it could happen…in Super Bowl LII. It would be essentially an ultra-rowdy version of a 1980s basement gig by The Replacements. Can't Hardly Wait, now can you.
Though the Seahawks put up a fight in the fourth quarter, it was Jacksonville and their fans that were victorious. Obviously, frustrations boiled over for Jefferson. I mean, who throws a
shoe bottle, honestly? Fired up Jaguars fans apparently, do. They've got some celebrating to do.
Jacksonville will finish the season above .500 for the first time since the second Bush Administration, the one whose brother was the Governor of Florida at one point in time. No, this incident is not a good look for the NFL, but there has been a lot of PR disasters to go around in recent weeks, so why join the party, Jacksonville?

34BigThings discusses future consoles, Redout's console release and much more.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 20th, Jul. 2017 Under Article, Interviews
Anyone looking for a racing simulator these days doesn't have to look far. Titles like Forza Horizon 3, F1 2016 and Project CARS have fulfilled that craving while Gran Turismo Sport, Forza Motorsport 7, Project CARS 2 and so on will offer a lot more. However, for the arcade racing fans, particularly of games like the recent WipEout HD Collection, it's fairly slim pickings. Then again, there's one game that released in September 2016 for PC and coming to consoles this year that stood out with many proclaiming it as the spiritual successor to F-Zero: 34BigThings' Redout.
Releasing for Xbox One and PS4 as Redout: Lightspeed Edition (with a Switch release happening later), we thought it was a good time to get in touch with the studio. Where is Redout going and what can you expect on consoles? Find out here.
"The main focus for us has been speed and creating the driving sensation. I would say this is obvious for anyone who played any AG racer before and Redout."
How has the reception to Redout been on PC thus far? What motivated the move to release console versions?
We saw an enthusiastic and continuous response to Redout on PC. Probably because PC was clearly lacking a leader in the AG racing space and the community around Redout has been growing and thriving since launch. We hope to see the same response from the console communities and we are definitely expecting so. Players deserve a modern take on the genre and we are trying our best to fulfill the expectations!
While paying tribute to F-Zero and WipEout, what did you do to ensure that Redout wasn't too similar to the classics? How difficult is the balance between paying tribute and doing something different?
The main focus for us has been speed and creating the driving sensation. I would say this is obvious for anyone who played any AG racer before and Redout. We have been focusing on that vertigo that stands at the core of the arcade racing genre and we pushed a lot on the driving feeling, achieving a believable physical response from the hovering ships drawing specifics from quadcopters and cars physics.
The Career mode seems to offer a much meatier single-player experience than most arcade racers. What can you tell us about its development?
Well, we have so many different game modes and modifications of those that the possible permutations tend to infinite. This allowed us to design a paced progression towards the highest speed possible in the game, where the endgame is the global leaderboard.
Considering the vast variety of modes in Redout, has there ever been any thought towards including ranked multiplayer races?
It has definitely been on our minds (also, huge Overwatch fans here) considering all the heat eSports are gaining lately worldwide and we think there's an interesting and open spot for a deep and technical racer.
"There's so much space in the arcade genre we still have to explore it would be a shame to stop now."
What obstacles did you face in bringing Redout to consoles, especially with regards to support from Microsoft and Sony?
Support has been pretty great from both platform holders, actually, and I don't think we got into any troubles in this regards. Most of the work related to porting our game to consoles has been via optimizations, compliance, age ratings and bureaucracy in general.
After working on both consoles, which do you think best represents what Redout has to offer, both in terms of graphics quality and controls?
Both for different reasons. The Xbox has a great platform and infrastructure that completes the game from the sides: the controller alone could be a good reason to prefer one platform over the other. PlayStation will, on the other hand, offer a better multiplayer experience, considering the wider user base.
What new features will the Redout: Lightspeed Edition have?
The Lightspeed Edition is where our care for the game progression peaked. It includes Europa and Neptune packs, increasing the base game content (tracks, bosses, new ships, a ton of liveries…). These DLCs seamlessly integrate into the game career, adding unique events and a relevant amount of single-player play. And we didn't announce everything yet!
What's currently in the pipeline for the next update?
We just shipped our third DLC, the Mars Pack, which adds a new environment, enhances our backstory with all the mars terraformation arc and delivers some of the longest tracks of the game. We are taking some time off from new DLCs during the summer, but we'll get back to it pretty strongly afterwards. There's so much space in the arcade genre we still have to explore it would be a shame to stop now.
What does the future look like for Redout, especially given all the features it's already received?
Our community definitely appreciated the long-term support we are providing. We believe that's one of the main differences between a true indie studio and bigger corporations. The direction is definitely set on more features to come and balance tweaks, slowly moving towards our next projects.
Have you considered working on a sequel to the game any time soon?
Honestly, yes. We are considering the opportunity to rebuild most of the systems from the ground up, having a much larger architecture and plan in mind. Especially about eSports and some of the features the game is currently missing (IE. Ghost racers, Replay, etc…).
Can you please tell us about the engine that the game is running on? The game looks absolutely spectacular.
It's Unreal Engine 4. We try to keep it always update to the latest version as Epic is really good at sneaking in improvements and new features we can leverage easily each time. At the moment, we are on 4.15, but we are upgrading to 4.16 for the final consoles release and probably to 4.17 soon enough.
What kind of improvements have you made to the engine in terms of physical based rendering, global illumination and lighting?
Unreal has been very kind to us in terms of features and we didn't need to make deep changes to the engine to enhance effects or add novel features. We had the chance to focus on the game and tweak the engine for our specific needs in terms of lightmaps, shadow computation and a couple of full screen post-process effects.
Can this possibly run at native 4K and 60fps at all times on the PS4 Pro?
Optimization is an art that takes patience and time. We are trying to make it in time for launch, but we can't be sure at the moment.
Along with a massive boost to resolution, what other improvements were implemented in the PS4 Pro version?
HDR is there, if your TV supports it. But honestly I would say the huge performance boost is the main reason to play Redout on a Pro.
"I don't think there can be a console that out-powers PCs in general, for obvious reasons."
In a recent interview, Mark Cerny, the lead engineer of the PlayStation 4 Pro claimed that converting a base PS4 game to PS4 Pro version is just 0.2 Or 0.3% of the overall effort. What is your take on this? Do you think that the extra work required to develop an additional Pro version is actually bigger than the number quoted?
Definitely not, I can agree with him. For us the process has been straightforward and didn't bring up anything we weren't expecting already. And loved the performances.
What are your thoughts on Xbox One X and how do you think it compared to modern gaming PCs? Do you think it out-powers most of them?
I don't think there can be a console that out-powers PCs in general, for obvious reasons. But I can agree the Xbox One X is the most powerful console ever released and probably the one with the smallest gap with the average gaming PC. That being said, it's an amazing piece of hardware and I'm really looking forward to see Redout running on it.
The Xbox One X has been designed as a native 4K console to begin with. But do you think it's capable to run your game not only in 4K but at Ultra PC settings and that too at 60fps?
As I said earlier, optimization is an art that takes patience and time. The capability is definitely there, but the devkits aren't really easy to get and that could have an impact on the timing of the optimization patch for Xbox One X.
What is your take on the differences between the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X from a development perspective?
Both consoles come really strong on the internal hardware and side features (Dolby Atmos, HDR, etc…) and they both are really comfortable to develop games with. We can tell both platform holders put a lot of effort refining the development process, trying to speed up it entirely and solve classical bottlenecks.

A boisterous crowd of nearly 600 packed the Waterville Primary Community Room on Wednesday night for a state environmental hearing on the compressor station NEXUS Gas Transmission wants to build in Waterville Township along Moosman Drive, south of Neapolis Waterville Road.

All 450 seats were taken and well over 100 people stood in the back and along the sides of the room, which has a 680-person capacity. Nearly all available street parking within a half-mile was taken.
"We are kind of pushing the comfort of the fire marshal with the large crowd we have tonight," the hearing moderator, Mike Settles, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency public involvement coordinator, said as he asked people to find seats when they became available.
The agency didn't initially plan a hearing in this area, then agreed to have one after learning of the high demand for one.
The first to testify, Jim Fritz, Anthony Wayne Schools superintendent, told state and local regulators the proposed site is unacceptably close to five of the district's six buildings, 4,000 students, and 300 staff members.
"We are concerned not only about the average amount of emissions per year, but also the peak emissions," Mr. Fritz said.
He and others cited complaints of burning lungs, nausea, headaches, sore throats, chronic dizziness, body pain, cancer, and other health problems associated with residents who live near compressor stations.
One person who claimed to be a victim, Barry Booth, said he lives 1.5 miles from a compressor station in Carroll County, and he and his wife, Mary, drove five hours to testify.
He said gases have been so strong, you sometimes find yourself "lying on your living room floor, puking, with snot coming out of your nose."
"These are not odors. They are volatile gases that are going to kill you, eventually," according to Mr. Booth, whose testimony got a standing ovation from the crowd.
Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken got loud applause when he talked about a resolution he and other commissioners passed in opposition to the proposed site during Tuesday's board meeting.
"This is what, to me, democracy looks like," Mr. Gerken said while sizing up the audience. "We are not against clean, safe natural gas energy, as long as it's placed in our society's rules."
The hearing was limited to air emissions, the only aspect of the project the Ohio EPA regulates — not the explosive risk of the compressor station or the pipeline itself, Mr. Settles said.
Several speakers said they are worried about exposure to formaldehyde, benzene, methane, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants they expect to become airborne in the Waterville-Whitehouse area if the compressor station is built at the proposed location.
"Why must this compressor station be located here?" Karen Schneider, Waterville Township trustee, asked.
NEXUS wants to build the compressor station to help move natural gas along a 255-mile pipeline it wants to build. It ultimately wants to send natural gas from the Utica and Marcellus shale regions of eastern Ohio and West Virginia to markets in Ohio, Michigan, and Canada.
So many residents wanted to speak that Mr. Settles said he wasn't sure if the Ohio EPA could get them all in during its allotted 3½ hours. A nearby teacher's lounge was opened as an auxiliary site for residents to give testimony.
Nobody in the audience identified himself or herself as a NEXUS spokesman. The company has said in past interviews it will consider all objections that are raised before making a final decision.

Ohio EPA to Hold Public Meeting, Receive Comments Concerning
Draft Air Permit for Proposed Waterville Compressor Station
Ohio EPA will hold an information session and public hearing on March 16, 2016, about a draft air permit for a proposed compressor station that would be located off of Moosman Drive (south of Neapolis Waterville Road) and is intended to facilitate delivery of natural gas along the Nexus Gas Transmission (NGT) pipeline.
The March 16 meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the Waterville Primary Community Room, 457 Sycamore Lane, Waterville. Ohio EPA will begin with an information session including questions and answers, after which the Agency will open an official hearing so members of the public can submit comments for the record concerning the draft permit.
If approved, the draft permit would allow the installation and operation of equipment associated with the compressor station, which produces air emissions.
Before issuing the draft air permit-to-install-and-operate, Ohio EPA reviewed the company's application to ensure that emissions would comply with federal and state air pollution control standards, laws and regulations.
If the permit is approved, Nexus' total maximum air emissions would not be allowed to exceed levels that protect public health and the environment. This permit would allow emissions up to 7.81 tons per year of carbon monoxide, 31.08 tons per year of nitrogen oxides, 6.24 tons per year of particulate, 3.24 tons per year of sulfur dioxide and 30.8 tons per year of volatile organic compounds.
Ohio EPA does not have regulatory authority over issues such as: siting; eminent domain; setbacks to homes, schools and businesses; noise levels; traffic; zoning; pipeline safety; or impacts on property values. An Ohio EPA factsheet detailing the Agency's role in issuing air permits and considerations related to natural gas compressor station emissions can be viewed on the Agency website: http://epa.ohio.gov/Portals/47/nr/CompressorStations.pdf.
Interested parties may review the draft permit online at: http://wwwapp.epa.ohio.gov/dapc/permits_issued/1365557.pdf
Related comments must be received by the close of business on March 21 and should be mailed to: Matthew Stanfield, Toledo Department of Environmental Services, 348 South Erie Street, Toledo, OH 43604; or sent via email: firstname.lastname@example.com
From 13abc:
WATERVILLE (13abc Action News) – Some people in our community say they're afraid, worried about their health and safety because of something that could be built in Northwest Ohio.
You may have heard of the Nexus pipeline. It will transport natural gas. But the I-Team found another part of the project some neighbors say could destroy a thriving area.
The Nexus pipeline starts in Eastern Ohio and goes across the state. It's scheduled to run though Erie, Sandusky, Wood, Fulton, Lucas and Henry counties before it moves north into Lenawee and Monroe county before eventually linking up with the pipeline through Canada.
The issue people near Waterville have is something called a compressor station. It pushes natural gas along the line.
If it's approved as planned, it would be on a piece of land that sits next to U-S 24 near Waterville. As proposed, it's located about half a mile from land owned by Stacy Owen.
"I have 2 kids with a third on the way. I'm thinking family. How's this going to happen? How are my kids going to be affected, that kind of thing," said Owen.
Owen's spearheaded a group fighting this compression station and making sure people know what it would mean to the area.
"I either have to do something or I'm just going to have to deal with it I guess and I decided I have to do something," said Owen.
Documents filed by the pipeline operators say the compressor station will house a 26,000 horse power compressor unit, oil coolers, and exhaust and air intake system. Those documents say the cost will be over $83 million.
"You feel like it's David and Goliath. We've got stones and sling shots and they have legal teams and a lot of money," said Waterville resident Deb Swingholm.
"It's frustrating, embarrassing, infuriating that you ask questions and no one will give you an answer. And there's no one that you can go to to make them, the operators, give you an answer," said Rick Kazmierczak, Swancreek Township trustee.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC, has the final say. That commission is currently taking public input, preparing an environmental impact survey. Opponents think the compressor station's impact will be huge.
If there's an accident, who would be impacted? Some say far more than regulations would have you believe. The I-Team learned that the US Department of Transportation calculates a potential impact radius.
When you use the DOT formula, the impact radius around this pipeline and compression station is 943 feet. But in Defiance late year, when a pipeline ruptured authorities evacuated a ¾ mile radius. That's about 4 times the radius for a pipeline smaller than would be coming through this compression station.
So what's in the radius around this one? Within a 3 mile radius you find homes, farms, Waterville and about 4000 Anthony Wayne students and staff members.
"We're concerned that the public knows about what's actually coming out of there. We're concerned for the students and staff in our school buildings," said Jim Fritz, Anthony Wayne Schools Superintendent.
Superintendent Fritz worries about accidents and daily emissions.
"There's still a lot of unknown. I think that's where the citizens of our area need to ask questions," said Fritz.
The area has certainly seen change. For example the construction of new US 24. Opponents of this station say they understand growth, they understand the idea of energy independence but they say it doesn't make any sense to put this station in a part of Lucas County that for the last 10 years has actually been growing.
So what does Nexus say about its compression station? They'd only send the I-Team a statement.
When it comes to air quality the company says air quality impacts "will be minimized by the use of equipment, emission controls and operating practices that meet or exceed best available technology."
Nexus also says the compression unit will be installed in an acoustically insulated building.
"We can do it smarter and we can affect less people. The bottom line is, no matter where we put it someone will be affected," added Kazmierczak.
Which gets the opponents to an obvious questions. If it doesn't go in their backyard, wouldn't it just go in someone else's backyard? If the federal regulators don't like the Waterville location, the answer is yes.
"But at least I could look at individual straight in the face and say instead of affecting 100 people now we're only affecting two and I'm sorry it has to be you but the greater good is served by moving it to a more rural type area," said Kazmierczak. "It's a terrible situation to be in when you have to choose between two poorer options but at least the common sense option is to get it out of a highly developed area and move it to a less developed area."
The opponents are also asking about the Lake Erie algae bloom. Digging the pipeline will mean crews will have to dewater where the water table is high. So they'll be taking water out of the ground to put the pipeline in. But when the water goes out will it go out over farm fields, what nutrients will be running off into stream, rivers and eventually into Lake Erie? How will that affect the algae bloom? No one knows, another reason opponents don't want the pipeline in the first place.
Right now the Ohio EPA is taking public comment to see if they will hold a public hearing on the compression station. That period ends in a few days. So if you'd like to weigh in, you need to now.
The federal government will put out that draft environmental study in the next few months. That's when the public can weigh in further before a final decision is made.

Full statements from Nexus to 13abc:
Compressor stations are necessary along the pipeline to give the gas a boost. Over distance, friction and geographic elevation differences slow the gas and reduce the pressure. Compressor stations are highly regulated facilities and integrate a variety of safety systems and practices to protect the public and station employees and property. All NEXUS compressor stations will be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by highly trained and experienced personnel who operate and maintain the station equipment and pipelines.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through the state environmental agencies, strictly regulate compressor station emissions. Federal and state ambient air quality standards are promulgated to protect the public health, welfare and environment by limiting the levels of pollutants that can occur in the outside air. Additionally, the turbines that drive the NEXUS gas compressors will be equipped with low emission technology and fueled by clean burning natural gas. They will be designed to achieve a NOx emission rate lower than what is required by federal and state regulation.
Location criteria for compressor stations are determined by a number of factors that include stakeholder considerations, engineering design, geographic suitability, environmental resource impacts and constructible terrain. The proposed Waterville Compressor Station in Waterville Township is west of the City of Waterville, Ohio and approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Whitehouse, Ohio. However, as part of its environmental review, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will make the final decision as to the compressor station location.
Currently, the Waterville Compressor Station will consist of 1 Solar Titan 250 natural gas turbine compressor unit and gas cooling that will serve the compressor station. The turbine compressor unit will be installed inside an acoustically-insulated building. Air quality impacts from operation of the Waterville Compressor Station will be minimized by the use of equipment, emissions controls, and operating practices that meet or exceed Best Available Technology. NEXUS will continue to evaluate noise control measures to be implemented at each new compressor station for the Project through detailed design of the facilities.
Potential impacts on groundwater resources will be avoided or minimized by the use of both standard and specialized pipeline construction techniques. Dewatering of the pipeline trench, the only activity requiring pumping of groundwater, may be necessary in areas where there is a high water table. However, phased pipeline construction activities within a particular location are typically completed within several days, and any lowering of localized groundwater from pumping and dewatering will be temporary. The construction and operations of the NEXUS Project will not alter the permeability or functionality of the Oak Openings aquifer.
I would like to direct you to the Resource Reports filed with FERC, which are available online and show, among other things, the locations and descriptions of Project facilities; the land requirements associated with facility construction and operation; proposed construction procedures; operation and maintenance procedures; emissions and air quality; and economic impact. You can view these detailed reports which provide extensive information about the project at: www.nexusgastransmission.com/content/ferc-formal-application or on the FERC website by using the docket number for the project CP16-22.
The US Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) governs the design and operation of interstate facilities. According to the US DOT, interstate pipelines are the safest mode transportation for natural gas. Moreover, NEXUS Gas Transmission is dedicated to the safe, reliable operation of facilities and the protection of employees, the public and the environment.
The NEXUS pipeline and associated aboveground facilities will be designed, constructed, maintained and operated to meet or exceed the safety requirements exclusively governed by the USDOT. Pipelines and related facilities are designed and maintained with strict adherence to USDOT standards to ensure public safety and reliability. Once the facilities are placed in service, NEXUS will implement operation procedures designed to monitor the pipeline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365-days-a-year.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the lead federal agency on the construction of pipelines, researched pipelines effect on property values and reported the results in an Environmental Impact Statement issued in October, 2014 (FERC Docket No. CP13-499-000, pages 4-152 to 4-156). The Environmental Impact Statement found that there was no pipeline-related impact on property value.
I have also attached a rendering of a compressor station. For more information please visit www.NEXUSGasTransmission.com where you can view fact sheets, review frequently asked questions and view a video that describes how compressor stations work.
The links below will direct you to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) website. I've included the safety stats from the PHMSA website below.

Have you ever wondered how one shoe or a sock ends up on highways? My better half and I were taking one of our weekend excursions when we saw one sneaker on the highway. How does that happen? Was it being worn at the time? Wouldn't a person miss the shoe? Maybe it blew off the back of a pickup or something. I don't know. It remains a mystery.
Another anomaly is racing to a stop light or stop sign. Drivers know there's a stop sign at the corner. Why race to it just to slam on the brakes? It's the same way with a stop light. Drivers know it's going to turn red after it turns yellow. Does that mean to floor it to the intersection? It's not necessarily an age thing. I've seen middle-aged drivers do the same thing, usually talking or texting on a cell phone and eating a bowl of chili.
Why can't people just drive? Why do they have to be multi-tasking the entire time? We even observed a younger driver with both hands around a cheeseburger, speeding around us on the highway. What?!? How was she driving? With her knees? Her feet?
State statistics show a decrease in auto crashes but I don't see how that's possible. Look at other drivers when you're driving. How many of them are doing other things? How many have on their seat belts?
I guess that's why the rest of us wear our seat belts and try to pay attention so we can watch out for those who don't.

Eurosport - Home of The Olympics
Dixon Baxi have created the full visual communication brand guidelines for the next 8 years for both the winter and summer Olympics from On-Air and Digital through to Environmental. In a great execution of simplicity and energy they claim 'The Podium' is the foundation for their brand experience - on every platform, an icon which is a common feature between the two polar opposite seasons - summer and winter. They claim the design uses the iconic three tiers as a simple visual metaphor that can be used in hundreds of ways. In motion they've utilised layers of vibrant colours that are clearly inspired by Olympic venues while using expressive typography to create a flexible and distinctive graphic style (Dixon Baxi). They've also taken into consideration the behaviour of these shapes giving them movement akin to a sporting event, such as hammer throw, for example using the physics of that action then implementing this as an animation, a really cool idea.

Just as openness, honesty, and a commitment to figuring things out together are keys to a solid relationship, they're also important when tackling money issues together. If you and your partner have decided to share your lives and a home, or are figuring out if moving in together is the right choice, make sure your finances figure into the situation.
Have the Money Talk and Lay the Ground Rules:
First thing's first: Have an open and honest discussion with your significant other about how you'd like to approach your finances together and any financial goals that you might like to work toward as a couple. Being in sync on your money early on will guide you when you need to make important financial decisions and will also help you avoid allowing money to negatively impact your relationship down the road.
Before you move in together, lay the ground rules for what's "yours," "mine," and "ours" to avoid arguments in the future. This includes questions like:
1. What expenses do you consider joint expenses?
2. Who's responsible for making sure payments are made on time?
3. Will you create and maintain a joint budget to help you keep track of joint expenses?
Figure out the answers to these questions before moving in together so you know how to approach these things before they become problems.
Open a Joint Checking Account for Joint Expenses:
Once you've laid the ground rules for what's "yours," "mine," and "ours," you'll need to figure out the best way to pay for "ours." For many couples, that means opening a joint checking account that both you and your partner have access to, will contribute to and from which you'll pay your joint expenses.

How much will each of you contribute? You have two choices: Split expenses 50/50 or contribute an unequal amount based on your salaries. For couples who make about the same amount of income, a 50/50 split may be the best option and one that won't leave either partner feeling like they're contributing more or less than what's fair.
However, for couples who make very different salaries, splitting expenses based on your income may be a better scenario that's not overly taxing on a single person.
Think of it this way: If your combined expenses total $2,000/month, you bring home $2,000/month while your significant other pulls in $3,000/month, a 50/50 split would mean that you're shelling out 50 percent of your income on expenses, while your partner is contributing one-third — or 33 percent — of his income. Is that really fair?
In the case of unequal salaries, consider splitting the costs based on how much each of you take home every month. Here's how to do the math:
1. First, you'll need to figure out three things: Your monthly take-home income, your total joint expenses, and your combined monthly take-home income.
2. Next, multiply your individual monthly income by your total joint expenses. Using the numbers above, that would be $2,000 x $2,000, which equals $4,000,000.
3. Finally, divide the amount from #2 by your total combined income. In our scenario, that's $4,000,000/$5,000, which equals $800. That's your monthly contribution to joint expenses.
10 Simple Steps to Creating a Budget You'll Actually Stick To
To figure out how much your partner will contribute, simply subtract your contribution ($800) from your total joint expenses ($2,000). In our example, your significant other will contribute $1,200 ($2,000 – $800 = $1,200).
Next, deposit this amount into your joint checking account to cover your shared expenses. Many employers allow you to direct deposit a certain amount of your paycheck into a special account, while the remainder can be deposited into your individual checking account. You'll still have to sit down and do your bills together, but with many banks, you can set up bill pay for free to make sure all your joint expenses are paid on time every month.
Keep Some Things Separate:
Your decision to move in with your partner may have been prompted by your desire to share your lives, but there are some things that should stay separate — for your own good and the good of the relationship.
First, hang on to your own checking and savings accounts. Different people have different ideas about how to properly manage their finances. In case your money personalites don't mix, having your own bank accounts help you take care of yourself without burdening your partner in case you lose your job, have an unexpected expense like a car repair or even if you'd like to buy your significant other a special gift without him knowing.
It's also important to keep at least one of your own credit cards — and that includes not allowing your significant other to become an authorized user on your account. Having your own card will allow you to build and maintain a solid credit history as an individual so in case your relationship doesn't work out, you'll be able to move on with your life….at least financially.
Finally, while you and your partner should talk openly and honestly about money and do your bills together (at least your joint expenses), it's up to you to make sure you know what's going on with your money. You never know when a little rain is going to fall in your life — and that includes relationship problems and breakups –so it's important to learn how to manage your money as an individual first, and as a couple second.

Lyric Infringement Claim Dismissed Under Renewal Provisions Of 1909 Act/
Chase v. Warner Bros. et al., No. 15-cv-10063 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 27, 2017).
Plaintiff's copyright infringement claim was dismissed because under the 1909 Copyright Act the author of the lyrics, which had been included in a songbook of nursery rhymes, had not renewed the copyright. Instead, the book itself (a "composite" work) had been registered and renewed by the publisher. But under section 24 of the 1909 Act, the Court held that the publisher could only renew its interest in part of the book and that the author of the lyrics, which had been contributed to the book, needed to renew the copyright in the lyrics. Accordingly, the defendants' motion to dismiss was granted, because the author of the lyrics had not renewed the registration for the part that she had contributed to the book. (Defendants were alleged to be using the lyrics in the TV show The Big Bang Theory).
