The Impact of Tablet PCs and Pen-based Technology 2006: Vignettes, Evaluations, and Future Directions
The Impact of Tablet PCs and Pen-based Technology 2006: Vignettes, Evaluations, and Future Directions (Paperback)
Book Description
The tablet PC and similar pen-based devices are being embraced by a wide variety of disciplines as tools for the radical enhancement of teaching and learning. Deployments of Tablet PCs span all the K-12, higher education, and graduate levels and deal with an amazingly diverse range of subject areas, including geology, writing, mathematics, computer science, Japanese language, physics, engineering, business, economics, and technical communications. Despite the diversity of content areas, many deployments generate a singular passion among students and teachers. In April of 2006, a group of educators gathered to exchange ideas at the First Workshop on the Impact of Pen-based Technology on Education (WIPTE). The editors have selected a subset of papers that were presented at WIPTE for inclusion in this book. The papers have been selected for their broad appeal, diverse content, and insightful evaluations. The collective experiences of these authors will help the reader to identify best practices with regard to the educational use of pen-based computing.

The night begged its own seat in the calendar of seasons. A warmth but a triumph over fire and a confusion over coast.
A frenzy, like lightning it was, like an invitational mystery with a jocular humor. For girls, such skies. Much like the girls I used to be.
The scenes I used to take to and the love drug storms I used to make fall short of this graceful math. This lightning with no wind, this rain with no reason. I am not for such delights. I am not for seeing what is already there.
He times a surprise and I shorten a tantrum. Evolve, is it? And without revolt?
A handicapped breath gives way to a kidnapped cloud; we are not alone, one hopes. I am ever alone, I spoke. My eyes only for ghosts.

Our friend at http://www.footballweeks.com/ picked up a report that claimed The Bills have completed the signing of A.J. McCarron on a two-year deal.
According to reports from Pro Football Rumours, The Bills have signed A.J. McCarron that will see the former Bengals signal caller at his side on a two-year deal.
McCarron, for now, will start as the Bills' new starting quarterback following the trade of former Bills Tyrod Taylor to the Browns. He only started three career games playing behind Andy Dalton in Cincinnati, but the 27-year-old quarterback certainly looked capable during his time on the field.
Across 11 career matches, he has completed 64.7-percent of his passes for 920 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions. During McCarron's brief starting season in 2015, he also registered 31 rushing yards on 14 carries. That season, he started the Bengals' playoff loss to the Steelers, throwing for 212 yards, one touchdown, and one pick.
Despite his starting inexperience, the quarterback was still one of the top-ranked players available in free agency. The Broncos and Cardinals had previously been connected to the former fifth-rounder, but both of those teams ultimately added other players at that position. He was ranked 12th in Football Weeks' list of the top-50 free agents, and he was listed fourth in our positional rankings. Earlier today, Zach Links ranked him as the sixth-best remaining free agent.
The Bills presumably signed McCarron as their starting quarterback next season. Other than the free agent addition, Buffalo is rostering Nathan Peterman.

An agency created to cut electric bills for Illinoisans may end up boosting them instead.
Higher electric bills? Thank meddling pols
An agency created to cut electric bills for Illinoisans may end up boosting them instead.
How can that be? You get three guesses, and if they're not politics, politics and politics, you haven't lived here very long.
Illinois lawmakers formed the IPA last year to protect consumers from what House Speaker Michael Madigan considered price-gouging by electric utilities. The agency's stated mission was to shop around for the best price on electricity and pass the savings along to customers. As a buyer of enormous amounts of electricity, it would have the bargaining power to negotiate low prices.
Or so the theory went. But Gov. Pat Quinn and Mr. Madigan's daughter, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, are finding other uses for that purchasing power. Boosting Illinois wind-power companies appears to be the primary goal the two will achieve by requiring the IPA to buy wind power at above-market rates. It also may burnish their credentials as supporters of politically popular "green energy."
Mr. Quinn, Ms. Madigan and environmentalists argue that the long-term wind-power contracts will act as a hedge against future increases in the cost of power generated by other sources. They may very well be right. But at current market rates for electricity, the wind-power contracts will push electric bills higher.
What's most disturbing isn't the possibility of a small, short-term increase in electricity prices. By interfering in the IPA's contracting decisions, Mr. Quinn compromises the independence of an agency set up to serve Illinois consumers.
The premise behind the IPA that a government agency can do a better job than the private market at setting fair prices is dubious enough. Political meddling in its decision-making discredits that premise completely.

Your Letters to the Law Society and Annual Report Submissions
In the background materials posted on the Law Society website for Convocation in December of 2017, a brief of supportive letters was included. None of the many letters written by lawyers and legal associations which expressed concern about the Statement of Principles, or the EDI initiative generally, were included.
All submitted content reflects the opinions of the writer only, and not necessarily those of the StopSOP team.
Please include your full name and location of practice, and provide a Word version of your letter, if possible.
Forward submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Annual Report Submission, by David SteinbergMarch 22, 2019Just Say 'No'
This year, again, the LSO annual return inquired whether I would "abide by a Statement of Principles that acknowledges my obligation to promote equality, diversity and inclusion", in order to address "the barriers faced by racialized licensees".Again, I said 'No'.Here's why:
Annual Report Submission by Leonid SirotaSeptember 24, 2018Constitutional Law instructor, Leonid Sirota, has shared his Annual Report submission on the Statement of Principles:
Annual Report Submission, by Carl IrvineSeptember 24, 2018
Annual Report Q.13
The Law Society of Upper Canada (the "LSUC") has asked me to prepare and abide by a Statement of Principle that "acknowledges my obligation to promote equality, diversity and inclusion generally, in my behaviour towards colleagues, employees, clients and the public" (the "Purported EDI Obligation").
Unfortunately, the...
Letter from Carl Irvine to Law SocietySeptember 24, 2018
Dear Sirs Mesdames
This is an open letter to the benchers of the Law Society of Upper Canada (the " LSUC ") with respect to the new Guide to the Application of Recommendation 3(1) (the " Guide ") which purports to provide clarity on the new requirement that members prepare a " statement of principle " as...
Stephen Morrison's Letter to Law Society, dated Nov. 17, 2017July 9, 2018 Stephen R. Morrison LL.B., C. Arb, C. Med, FCIArbBased on the feedback that I have received from other licensees, this measure is being received as an outrage or, even worse, as a bad joke. I have yet to speak directly with another licensee who supports it. While many will probably check the right box on their annual return, merely to avoid the potential repercussions of not doing so, this coerced compliance should not be confused with assent. Respect for our governing body is being eroded, and I anticipate that this will be manifested at the next election of Benchers. Moreover, there will undoubtedly be legal challenges to the provision, and we gain little by litigation which pits our membership against its leaders. And, most significantly, I fear that the negative reaction to this measure will undermine support for the remainder of the important equality, diversity, and inclusion initiatives. I urge Convocation to reconsider.
Annual Report Submission re Statement of PrinciplesMarch 30, 2018 Alec S. Bildy, LL.B., LL.M. (Cambridge)The requirement is (i) quite clearly contrary to my rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, (ii) in my opinion, ultra vires the powers of the Law Society, (iii) contrary to, and indeed ignorant of, the role and function of a lawyer in a liberal democracy, (iv) the result of political ideology, rather than any evidence-based process, and (v) deeply offensive to me personally in terms of its clear implication that I and my profession and society are racist.
Letter to the Law SocietyOriginally dated November 8, 2017 March 23, 2018 Michael A. MenearOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its members may be the most oppressive. To be cured against one's will and cured of 'states' [biases, prejudices] which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason, or those who never will.
C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (abridged)
I do not agree with, nor can I support, the EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) Initiative of the Law Society of Ontario (LSO). Let me explain my reasons.
Annual Report Submission re Statement of PrinciplesMarch 22, 2018 Chris DobsonInvoluntary statements are immoral. As they are lacking in moral authority, even when the intention is to force a perceived good, one cannot be required by law to make them. I object to the inclusion of the SOP in the Annual Report and will not acknowledge them even under threat of sanction. I do not acknowledge the claims of the Final Report as valid. Convocation lacks the authority to sanction licencees who have committed no offence other than to refuse to comply with a totalitarian requirement by forcing a declaration that they may not agree with or to falsely declare something which the licencee does not believe to be true. It offends my freedom of conscience, expression and religion.
Karen Selick's Reasons for Stating "No" to the Statement of PrinciplesMarch 21, 2018I comply with all applicable human rights legislation, but I have no legal obligation to "promote" any particular policy, practice or philosophy. I believe it is beyond the Law Society's legal mandate to require me to sign such a statement. I also believe that such forced expression is unconstitutional, as a violation of my right to freedom of expression.
Annual Report Submission re Statement of PrinciplesMarch 5, 2018 Joseph StarkmanThe Law Society has no right or authority to require the adoption of a prescribed set of principles. Principles are, by definition, beliefs. Beliefs cannot be compelled upon a person's conscience, either morally, legally or practically. Historically, only totalitarians have pretended otherwise. Requiring this declaration and the preparation of a statement of principles it contemplates violates my freedom of conscience, belief, thought, opinion and religion. In addition, it violates my freedom of expression insofar as it requires me to affirmatively state my allegiance to the favoured causes. Furthermore, requiring a "correct" opinion or belief can never be justified in a free society; on the contrary, it is anathema to it. I object to this requirement as, among other things, unconstitutional and otherwise beyond the power of the Law Society to prescribe, as well as being vague and ill-defined.
As Justice Robert Jackson stated in striking down, in time of an existential war, a compelled declaration far more defensible under the circumstances than this one:
"[N]o official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion, or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein."

So that's something else I share with Bernie Sanders.
As I've said many times, the Republicans in general, and Trump in particular, had no policy to compete against Hillary Clinton. They have been desperately searching for something that looks like dirt on her to try to salvage the Presidential election.
So she ran a private email server, while she was SecState. Various investigations show no violation of the law.
At some point, the FBI found more emails on a computer used by one of her aides.
That set off howls of outrage among the low-information set that is devoted to Trump and the sickly remains of the Republican Party. In less than a couple hours, I've seen memes fed to those low-info types that howl that the "missing 30,000 emails were found" and "there was classified information that is a danger to the country". Pence got on Chris Matthews show and was allowed to run at the mouth for almost five minutes, bitching about how bad the emails were, and being given the opportunity to spout mindless talking points. The same on CNN and Fox, a bunch of free advertising.
But little intelligent discussion about the actual effect. What is most likely is that the emails in question are copies of some or most of the emails already looked at, since the computer in question has already been identified at getting messages from the server in questions.
The FBI (the Director, I would guess) seriously screwed up by stirring up the situation without having any indication of any new information.
Regardless, it all comes down to the fact that Trump and the Republicans still don't have policy to run on. Unless one of the magic emails is found to have a true national security impact, Clinton will be elected.
Republicans need to grow up to be a real party again, or they will be gone in a couple years.

Faced with the prospect of Thanksgiving alone, I ran with it. All the way to Flushing. Weeks of socializing and work had left me wanting time to myself. On this holiday that brings friends and family together, I wasn't sad to be alone, I was excited.
My destination for the holiday was Spa Castle – a multi-level Korean pool and sauna extravaganza. Boasting outdoor and indoor pools, different kinds of saunas in "sauna valley", and treatments galore, it was a spa theme park. Like a vacation getaway, it was far from my regular milieu, and entailed a long trip on two trains and their free shuttle bus. Upon arrival, this well run machine provided a "uniform" and a digital wristband, which indicated your lockers and tracked your spending, making money unnecessary. You are freed of all possessions and burdens. I enjoyed jumping from sauna to sauna with different specialties like salt, jade, gold, LED light; taking breaks in between with my book, appropriately enough, Bill Buford's Heat. The pools were all at a comfortable bath water 95 degrees with optional whirlpool massage jets. Outside had a 104 degree hot tub, the best place to be in crappy weather, I wished there was snow on the ground. But my favorite place in Spa Castle was the "sleeping area", a partitioned corner which had a heated floor to lie down on – nap heaven for adults.
After four hours, completely relaxed and elated, I had Thanksgiving dinner at Jang Tuh, where the shuttle dropped off on 37th Avenue. Instead of turkey, I got bibim bap with all the trimmings. A perfect holiday.

Rebecca Sounds Reveille – Wake Up! – Eat to Beat Alzheimer's – With Guest Author Francie Healey
By TLB Media Director & RSR Show Host: Rebecca L. Mahan
On this episode of Rebecca Sounds Reveille, the hot topic is how to beat Alzheimer's (even prevent it) through nutrition. Research has shown what we consume has a direct correlation on our diet and many diseases, to include what is now being dubbed as Type 3 Diabetes – Alzheimer's.
Over the years and through my own research, I had discovered the positive impact on this devastating disease with the supplementation of B vitamins. My guest, Francie Healey, who is author of , Eat to Beat Alzheimer's, completed her undergraduate degree in Sociology and Criminal Justice, has a Master's degree in Counseling, has clinical experiences in a psychiatric hospital, community mental health center, and a methadone clinic, and currently works with clients in these areas, was one I needed to discuss this with. And wow! You will be surprised at the effects of eating foods loaded with this vitamin!
There is so much more though that Francie is able to share with the audience on the show. Her goal is to help others dodge Alzheimer's, and it's difficult not to see how this disease can be combated without the use of pharmaceuticals.
This show really only scratches the surface. To learn more you can grab a copy of Francie's first book, Eat to Beat Alzheimer's, a manual for health and cooking. It provides nutritional science and education to help readers become well-informed on the connection between the food they eat and how it affects their brain health now and in future years.

Recent reviews
Very good 8.4 From 116 reviews
Booked this hotel based on previous reviews and wasn't disappointed. Arrived on an early flight from London and they facilitated a smooth, quick and early checkin. Manager and staff super helpful. Spacious clean room and great wifi. Large TV and close to two MRT stations. Hotel not in city centre but easy access by public transport. Fully recommend. Breakfast is available at the cafe/bar next to reception desk. Good value for money.
Nice area . Hotel was nice but too cosy and not enough space to move around
My most recent stay at Aqueen Heritage Hotel was very satisfying. Hotel lobby and room are clean and welcoming as always. Great shopping and eateries are close by. As usual, Mr. Hamid is very welcoming and friendly, making the stay even more pleasant.
room super small compared to last time i stay, only bed almost near to to wall, only have 1 side can go up to bed. no place to open my luggage. Lighting at toilet too dark. Sound prove need to improve, can heard sound from beside room and door bang sound and person talk at walkway.
Place looks better then normal stay hotels, but could have some improvements. 1) the room I stayed (318) can't watch YouTube or netflix with the smart TV, would be nice if there's cable channels other then local channels. 2) at early morning some one tried to open my room room. Luckyly I latched the door. Think it was a staff cos mumbled about open wrong room. 3) been 3 weeks and my deposit has not been returned. Overall I'm still happy. Would return again soon.

Mums have until 20 June to enter an awards programme that honour mumtrepreneurs, mothers who run their own ventures.
The scheme is open to any mum running a business while also raising kids at home, across any industry and at any stage of the business' lifecycle.
The 30,000 Fly Buys points on offer to the winner of the Supreme Mumtrepreneur title will be enough to overhaul a venture's technology or for return flights and accommodation for a family holiday, Fly Buys says.
The awards were set up to recognise mothers who have taken an entrepreneurial idea and turned it into reality, says CEO Stephen England-Hall. "We know the barriers to success for anyone starting a business are high, let alone for women whose focus and energy is also needed elsewhere in their lives.
"Fly Buys want to celebrate this group who are no doubt some of the busiest people in the country," he says.
The Supreme winner will be chosen from five categories: Best Product or Service, best Online or Technology Business, Best Creative Business, Best Food and Beverage Business and the Best Agribusiness.
They'll be judged by Trilogy co-founder and mumtrepreneur Catherine de Groot.

Chase, standoff just ended on Interstate 35
Law enforcement officials closed down part of Interstate 35 south of the Des Moines metro due to a chase and standoff Tuesday.
Police dispatch indicated the chase began north of Des Moines about 1:10 p.m.
A driver led officers south on Interstate 35/80 to Interstate 35 through West Des Moines. A trooper was trying to pull him over for speeding.
Dispatchers said speeds reached between 100 to 110 mph.
A trooper deployed stop sticks on the interstate near the intersection with Highway 92.
State Patrol spokesman Sgt. Scott Bright said the driver hit the stop sticks, had three flat tires and stopped at that point. He exited his car and showed a weapon and then got back inside the vehicle.
Interstate 35 was closed between mile markers 53 and 55 in both north and southbound lanes.
The patrol had a couple negotiators at the scene and they were able to talk the man out of the vehicle after about an hour. The man was taken into custody about 3 p.m. No one was hurt during the chase or standoff.
The incident remains under investigation.

Find the number of inflexion points on $$f(x) = \frac{x^2-5x+4}{x^2+5x+4}$$
I graphed the function and got this:
As you can see, there is a clear maximum and a clear minimum point on the graph, but there doesn't appear to be a third inflection point. I know in this case that the inflection point, although technically is inclusive of the maximum and minimum points, isn't the maximum or minimum point as these maximum and minimum points were mentioned separately in other subparts of the question. The answer given is 1.
I decided to use a different approach - I found the second derivative of the function to be:
$$f''(x) = -\frac{20(x^3-12x-20)}{(x^2+5x+4)^3}$$
Equating this to zero gives $x^3-12x-20 = 0.$ I then plotted this on the same coordinate axis:
This indicates a clear inflection point at roughly x = 4. I believe this to be the inflection point the answer is referring to. By definition, from Wikipedia, an inflection point is a point on a curve at which the curve changes from being concave (concave downward) to convex (concave upward), or vice versa.This is obviously not the case looking at the graph:
Why wasn't I able to identify this inflection point just by looking at the graph? This point does not seem to fit the given definition of an inflection point - what am I missing?

By Myra Lewin
To be a human is to be in a state of constant change. From the moment we are born, we are dying. Every moment that passes creates some shift of energy, time or feeling. Even your body, as stable as it might appear, is in a state of constant renewal. But beneath all this change lies one thing that is steady and constant: you, as eternal spirit.
The purpose of all the practices of Ayurveda and Yoga -- meditation, mantra, eating for balance -- is to remember who you really are. As you come to know yourself as eternal spirit, you will learn to allow your true nature, not one of the many masks you wear, to guide your life. This creates joy and fulfillment beyond what you could ever imagine otherwise.
Pain, whether chronic or infrequent, mental or physical, is a greatly misunderstood part of the human experience. Most people want more pleasure and less pain, but when you tune in to the messages that pain is attempting to show, it can become a tool to reach moksha, or liberation in life.
The practice of Ayurveda offers a fresh perspective on how to manage pain in your life. By seeing yourself as a holistic being, you'll see how the mind, body and spirit work together to create pain, and how you can use all these parts of you to heal from the inside out.
This is the first in a three-part blog series on how to reframe your perspective on pain and natural pain relief. In each, we'll share Ayurvedic wisdom on pain and offer simple techniques to help you feel better for your entire life.
When people think of strength, they often think of the big muscles: biceps, quadriceps and trapezius. It's true that these large muscles play a big role, but they're often not the key players. There is something more subtle at play in the true source of your strength, and it comes from deep inside. This is the power of the pelvic floor.
The pelvic floor is two bands of muscle located just above the pubic bone. They span the base of the pelvis and hold the organs in place, somewhat like a hammock. They provide support for your torso and connect your upper and lower body. Even though the pelvic floor is neither large nor visible, these two small bands of tissue are one of your greatest sources of strength.
Is it possible to live in the modern world while maintaining a spiritual focus? Of course. Cultivate consciousness through regular spiritual practice and bring that into everything, everyday.
Cooking can be a spiritual act with that intention. That means turning off the cooking shows, putting away cookbooks with complicated recipes, and moving into your heart, where you have all the information you need to create simple, healing food. Allow your spirit to lead the process and you will be satisfied every time.
Kapha dosha makes our bodies and minds strong and sturdy. A daily Yoga asana practice builds on kapha's natural strength and reduces the tendency toward weight gain that can come with excess kapha.
It doesn't have to take a lot of time -- even 15 minutes in the morning will combat the effects of sedentary living and create enthusiasm for life that will reach far beyond your Yoga mat. Just set your wake up time a bit earlier (start before 6:00 a.m. and you'll get the bonus of the increased energy that is present in the vata time of morning called brahmamuhurti) and make the commitment to asana as a part of your morning routine.
To balance kapha's heavy nature, focus on invigorating poses, such as strengthening standing poses and backbends, as we have outlined in the two sequences below. Hold each pose for 10 to 15 breaths if you are feeling sluggish to awaken kapha. If you are feeling fearful, scattered or other signs of vata imbalance, hold each pose for 20 breaths.

Kolasin – Tender on the occasion of privatization of the Ski center "Bjelasica", because of the preparations which need to be made will be announced after the Christmas holidays, "Vijesti" have found out.
The bankruptcy director of Kolasin Ski center "Bjelasica", Srecko Medenica announced earlier that until the end of this week a new advertisement about the sale of the property of ski center will be published.
The decision about the new tender came after the declarations of ex Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic, and minister of tourism Predrag Nenezic who have warned that the stalling of privatization of the Ski center "Bjelasica" jeopardizes the development of the north region.
That at the same time will be the 6th attempt of the sale of the ski center which for years has been administrated by the Business court because of the import of bankruptcy.
Business court is formally managing the ski center through the bankruptcy administrator, and the major owners of stock chares are state funds. In all five attempts of the sale of the Ski center the only company which applied was the company "Beppler and Jacobson", which is the owner of the hotel "Bjanka" in Kolasin, and of hotel "Avala" in Budva.
That company on the previous tender has offered 550.000 euros for the major package of stock shares of the Ski center and 3, 5 millions for the investments. This company on every other tender has decreased its offer. On the first tender the offered investments were 9 millions of euros, and on the last one 3, 5 millions of euros. Beppler was the only company which applied for the auction which was supposed to be held several days before New Year, but it was nullified because the condition of application of at least two investors was not fulfilled.

Regular interceptor cleaning and waste collection is an important part of keeping your site running efficiently, avoiding costly downtime from environmental incidents and drainage problems. To arrange for your interceptor maintenance call 0800 171 2204 for our low-cost service.
Interceptor Emptying
Unless you arrange for interceptor cleaning and maintenance, over time, contaminants build up within your interceptor and can cause blockages and increase the risk for flooding and the risk of pollutants contaminating the local watercourse.
Our Customers
Our customers requiring interceptor maintenance and cleaning include fire stations, supermarkets, garage forecourts, car parks, car wash bays, bus depots and industrial yards where vehicle washing takes place.
They all depend on us for oily water disposal where oil, water and silt is removed from their oil interceptor or fuel separator for disposal at a licensed treatment facility for recycling.
Our powerful vacuum tankers, high pressure water jetting and support vehicles can provide you with a complete cost-effective interceptor cleaning service.
What is an Interceptor?
An oil interceptor is fitted to your drainage system to protect the environment by preventing pollution from oils and the overspill of sludge and silt containing other contaminants.
The purpose of your interceptor is to separate water from oil, silt, dirt and any contaminants picked up within the drainage system. The separated waste is retained in a chamber in the interceptor for collection.
If your interceptor is not maintained, the run-off from vehicle washing and cleaning activities and subsequent overspill can threaten the environment and pollute rivers, streams, and the water table.
This could lead to prosecution by the Environment Agency, who have a history of taking court action to pay for remediation.
Interceptor Waste Collection and Disposal
The disposal of oily water, sludge and silt should be carried out at frequent intervals and we have a modern fleet of vehicles and trained operatives to help you.
We operate a 24-hour response for interceptor waste disposal and can get to your site quickly, removing oils, sludge, silt and other debris using powerful vacuum tankers.
Furthermore, our operatives are fully equipped and qualified to carry out interceptor maintenance by replacing used interceptor filters with new ones.
Free Quote and Advice
We operate in London and across the South, bringing you quality service, reliability and a dedication to providing the best value for oil separator and interceptor emptying in your local area.
We are licensed and accredited by the Environment Agency, UK Spill Association and a member of Alcumus SafeContractor.
For a free quote or consultation for interceptor cleaning and waste collection, get in touch today.
Additional Services for Interceptor Cleaning

The police shooting of an unarmed black man, the ensuing protests, and the local police officials' response to control these protest using military-issued equipment in Ferguson, Missouri, has sparked a national debate over the Pentagon's controversial "1033 program." The program equips local and state police departments with military surplus weaponry.
With the media digging into the 1033 program, the public is learning about the 145 law enforcement agencies that the Pentagon has banned from receiving surplus military weapons and supplies. According to the Cox Washington Bureau, in all cases, the departments were suspended after losing high-powered weapons – M14's, M16's and assault rifles. There have also been occurrences of missing .45-caliber pistols and shotguns.
Certainly this is a list which no department wants to be on. Yet, while many departments have avoided the unwanted publicity, they have had incidents where weapons have been lost, misplaced or stolen. Inventory control of weapons and auxiliary equipment remains antiquated in countless law enforcement agencies still relying on error prone manual tracking logs. With missing police weapons taking center stage in the news, it may be a good time to re-evaluate your agencies inventory control system.
If your agency is interested in improving the tracking and securing of weaponry and other critical assets, LEID Products has proven technology which can provide full accountability. Expensive? Well that depends on how you look at it. If a weapon goes missing and ends up being used by a criminal, the civil liability of a lost item can be extremely costly. Beyond monetary cost, the reputation of the police department suffers indefinitely.
LEID Products' BACS System is a field proven inventory control and asset management system used by federal, state, and local agencies, as well as private sector clientele throughout the country. BACS eliminates long-standing paper log methods, saving valuable employee time and resources while providing easily accessed and credible electronic tracking reports. Added benefits of the BACS Asset Management software include tracking equipment maintenance requirements and officer firearm training qualifications. See the 'How BACS Works' article for details on the system.
A white paper, written by former Waterford, Michigan Deputy Chief of Police, Dale LaCroix, details the benefits his department realized after implementing the BACS System. For LaCroix's department, the BACS System cost was recouped in 18 months. Cost savings were realized through labor savings, better maintenance of equipment, as well as the ability to have multiple officers share equipment. Dale noted in the conclusion of the paper that the savings related to limiting liability exposure, while they may be immeasurable, could be the greatest savings of all.
Here is an excerpt from the white paper
The departments inventory control of weapons and auxiliary equipment was improved greatly with the BACS system over the old sign out system. Every department I know has had incidents where items are lost for a time and turn up later or sometimes never at all, and no one seems to know what really happened. The civil liability of a lost item can be extremely costly.
The BACS System was also built with an equipment maintenance application within the software, along with the ability for an officer to tag an item for maintenance when returning an item at the end of a shift. Making sure equipment is working properly and maintained on schedule could save a department from an embarrassing situation at best to a costly civil action should a piece of equipment not work properly when deployed.
Once the system was installed there were no losses of equipment. In addition, repair times were reduced and equipment uptime increased as damaged equipment was reported immediately so repairs could be made timely and efficiently.
The initial cost of the system for our department was more than paid for with only the time savings from supervisor's wages in just eighteen months. There were also added cost savings in the ability to have multiple officers share equipment in lieu of purchasing equipment for each officer. The cost savings in the liability area are hard to put real numbers to, but could be the greatest savings of all. It is my opinion that no department should be without this type of system, and in reality, most cannot afford not to have this system.

CIP Program Steps
Use inner vertical slider to view all text in scroll box.
On completion of the Caustic wash the circuit will be drained by pressing F10 DRAIN CIRCUIT.
This action will (a)stop the CIP Pump, (b) open the DRAIN Valve (V04), and (c) close the RETURN (Recycle) valve V03.
In most commercial applications of automated CIP and AIR BLOW will be initiated to clear the CIPS line of solution. The "state-of-the-art" Mini-CIP Skid has that capability but the circuit lacks the robust construction required to handle the introduction of air.

My Twitterpal Melissa Garcia, (@ColoradoHOAGal) pointed me to this article in the Miami Herald, which explains the mechanics of a typical reverse foreclosure. Reverse foreclosures are being pursued by community associations throughout the country, as associations find themselves stuck with units on which the owners will not pay and on which the lenders will not foreclose. The problem arises everywhere, but particularly in those states with higher foreclosure rates.
News on Reverse Foreclosures
A condominium or homeowners association (HOA) that forecloses a unit upon which there is a senior lien will not be able to take title, but will be able to get access to the unit, and presumably put some pressure on the lender to step up to its obligations. The law is still developing in this area, so watch for new developments as some cases are decided.
The article also quotes another frequent blogger and twitterer, Donna Berger, (@CondoandHOALaw); Donna wisely recommends that associations rent the units after taking them from the banks.

After three weeks in France, I finally purchased my first baguette. And a jar of Nescafé. I'm ashamed to admit it, but up until that point I'd been eating American sandwich bread and drinking Maxwell House instant coffee with my lunch.
My first trip to the grocery store was so intimidating that without even thinking about it, I selected the most familiar items on the shelf. I was asking myself, "What does one eat for lunch?" not "What does one eat for lunch in France?" I don't even drink Maxwell House coffee in the U.S., but the familiarity of the brand name prompted me to choose that over the jars of Nescafé and its European off-brands.
Thankfully, I recovered from this jet lag-induced brain lapse and realized that I should avoid settling for the familiar while I'm in a foreign country. I need to intentionally seek out what is unfamiliar, to say "yes" to things that are new and different. Would you like honey on that crêpe? Yes. Would you care for an espresso? Yes. Do you want to sample this strange-looking casserole that appears to be a mixture of all recent leftovers baked beneath a crust that you can't quite identify? Um… yes? (It was fantastic, by the way.)
So the next time I visited the grocery store I walked down the chocolate aisle and, from among the bags of Kit-Kat novelties and bars of fine chocolate with recognizable brand names, purposefully selected something I'd never seen in the States: Kinder Schoko-Bons (whatever those are). Kinder is like the Hershey's of Europe, so while the brand is hard to find in the U.S., I figure it's pretty representative of everyday European life, or at least of European childhood.
Along with my "daily life" purchases of Nescafé, baguettes and Kinder chocolate, I've also made efforts to sample actual French cuisine. In truth, I have yet to find it very different from the variety I'm accustomed to in my life in the states, apart from the country's affinity for bread and this region's deep love of crêpes. However, the two most common questions I receive from the French are: 1) have you ever seen Barack Obama? and 2) do you like French food?
They're very proud of their country's cuisine (and our country's president, it seems) so perhaps it would be polite of me to rave about the food a bit more. At any rate, I did try something distinctly French last weekend. My host family's grandparents came to stay for a few days and "Bonne-Mamon" made escargot as an appetizer (aperitif) for the Sunday meal. "Do you like escargot?" she asked me. I had to reply with, "I don't know." "You can try it, and if you don't like it, you don't have to eat it."
My older host brother took a shell in hand and showed me what to do: first you slurp up the extra sauce on top, then you take a toothpick, stab it into the depths of the shell and pull out the thing inside. I slurped, stabbed, extracted and the thing on the end of my toothpick actually looked like a snail. It was round and grey and — were those two small antennae? I gave my host brother a look that said, "You actually eat this?" then, with a surge of resolve, popped it into my mouth.
It chewed easily and tasted like garlic — that's all. Wanting to stretch myself a little farther, I tried one more but couldn't bring myself to accept the third that was offered me. I mean, they're snails. The idea of consuming the little things whole (antennae and all!) overrides the delight of butter and garlic. At least, however, I knew what I was getting myself into. Sometimes I say "yes" when I don't even know what's being offered.
Like this morning. The grandfather (Bon-Papa) is a very nice old man, but very difficult to understand; he mumbles and mutters in accentuated nasal tones, like the teacher from the Peanuts videos with more intonation, and he doesn't know how to communicate with me. "Wah wah wah wah pain." Okay, something about bread. Was that a question or a statement? "Comment?" I ask: what? "Pain," he replies, then repeating the same nasal syllable at a higher volume: "Pain!"
He gestures with the loaf to indicate his subject. Yes, thank you, good sir, I know we're talking about bread; it was, in fact, the only word in your sentence that I understood, so waving the loaf at me will not fill in the other gaps in my comprehension. Could you by any chance articulate better so that I could understand a few other words along with it — the verb, for example? It's easier to imagine a sentence based on context clues rather than attempt to understand Bon-Papa, so "Oui": in case that jumble of sounds was an offer of some bread to go with my dinner, then I accept.
This morning, then, I found myself beside Bon-Papa at the breakfast table with no host siblings around to translate his nasal garble into comprehensible French. "Wah wah wah heure wah." Oh boy. That could have been "What time is it?" "What time do you leave?" "What time does your class start?" or none of the above. I stared blankly at him, so he threw up his hands and turned toward the counter, muttering to himself.
When later he seemed to be offering me something, I saved us both the trouble of attempted communication and simply replied: yes. He did say bread, didn't he? That sounded like "pain." Bon-Papa stood up and turned on the electric kettle. Apparently he'd said "thé." Oh well. Bread, tea — they're both good things to have with breakfast. I'll just help myself to another slice of brioche and wait for the water to boil. At any rate, there will be a baguette and Nescafé waiting for me later.

Implant-supported Dentures
Dr. Parkes explains the benefits of implant-supported dentures. He and Dr. Stewart both have extensive experience strategically placing implants that provide a lifetime of support for dentures. Their compassion and skill make them the clear choice in Jackson.
View transcript
Implant supported dentures are removable, the denture comes in and out. So, the denture snaps down onto the implants, whereas All-On-4®, the denture does not come out. It stays in there all the time. The procedure to do implant supported dentures takes about the same amount of time as an All-On-4® to do the surgery, and then at that appointment usually we take another hour or so to fit the denture onto the implants at that time. So, all in all, three to four hours. We have many people that do implant supported dentures. It's less expensive than All-On-4®, and a lot of people opt for that because of the expense of it.

text: slewa 1 Report post Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Hello MoDaCo Forum! Couple of weeks ago I bought Grand X (tegra2) in switzerland (the name is here: My Surf Pure, or Mimosa X) I succesfully rooted my device, and successfully installed CWM recovery with Grand X tool. The first thing in the CWM I made a backup, and full wipe, (system, data, zteconfig, cache, dalvik cache) after that i tired couple of ROM-s, ie: StarscreamMOD 1.7, ZTE V970V1.0.0 B05 (RU) etc. But when I try to going back my stock ROM the first thing what I realised, CWM tell me, the MD5 sum mismatch. I solved this problem, I generated md5, but when I tired to restore my backup, the CWM tell me, cannot restore data, .android.secure, and sd-ext. After that I wipe everything (system, data, zteconfig, cache, dalvik cache), I choose the advanced restore --> system, it will be successfull, but not perfect, because my bootlogo missing, and bootsound also missing, and when I go to the About phone --> baseband version: Unaviable, Build number --> Unaviable. I tired to check my build.prop, it is contains my original (stock) details, but in the /zteconfig -->manualfactoryInfo.txt the last part contain my original build number and my last ROM build number also. (P943FV1.0.0B07ZTE V970V1.0.0B05.7) Maybe this cause the unaviable thing in the about phone option... I tired to delete the last part, but with every reboot, came back... So my question, can I restore my phone to the stock properly, if I need warranty repair? Or anybody have switzerland SD card update, it would be best! I would be thankful for any help Thanks Edited July 6, 2013 by slewa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

152/365 - Zan goes on a sunny adventure.
First to the antique shop.
Then we wandered past some mini horses.
We stopped off for lunch and a drink.
Then we went to find a windmill. I mean, wind turbine.
There it is! Isn't it huge? My fellow walkers are those tiny little figures at the bottom right of the photo!
There are my rambling buddies. Don't they look pleased? :)
Look! My hair is trying to imitate the wind turbine! :) Hahaha! And look at that sky - beautiful!
We moved on to explore a nearby glen. And we found a gate that has really has no reason to be there!
There's Jessica's dad, and my mum in the background there.
I was so excited about seeing a waterfall, can you tell?
I leave you with a photo of the bluebell woods we found. So pretty!
I had a really good time today, discovering new things and reminding myself of happy, sunny things. It's been a long time since we've had such good weather in UK, and I'm really pleased to have found some time to enjoy the warmth, and admire the greatness of the Great British countryside. I also realised that if the weather was like this all the time in the UK, then people would probably go on less holidays abroad and actually stay. It is absolutely beautiful here - we just need to see it in the right light sometimes :)
Hoorah for our rambling adventure, and hoorah for sunshine! :)
