How to trigger an email when reaching certain date?
I have a recordset with an expiration date for customers and i want UE to auto send an email five days before reaching the expiration date.
thanks for your help,
Jim Balthrop
I have a recordset with an expiration date for customers and i want UE to auto send an email five days before reaching the expiration date.
thanks for your help,
Jim Balthrop
Universal Email will create the script that will send the email for you but it will be up to you to create the other parts of this. I think you should start out with a page that has a recordset on it that selects all the customers who expire in five days. You would then use Universal Email to setup the message and send it to everyone in the recordset.
To automate this you will need to setup a chron job or scheduled task depending on your server environment. Both of these would work the same way, you preconfigure the settings of what script you want to run (the page) and when. You should do this daily so that you everyone gets an early warning about the expiration.
Thanks Eric,
I have it set up and set UE to send email to all in the recordset with the trigger 'recordset not empty'
Does just what i want.
Have another question-
If i set a cron job to open the page (which sends the email) daily, is there a way to not send to a person in the recordset, if they had an email yesterday. In effect so that once they receive an email, it won't send them again?
Having it setup like this would be a little tricker since the script itself does not know if an email has been sent to a certain person. You would need to control this with the rs query so that it did not select any user's that have had the email sent recently.
To do something like this you could update the records that you have sent the email to so that it indicates the message was sent. Then when you query the db you will need to filter these users out so that they do not appear in the recordset again. This would be a very custom piece though.
Another way you could do this would be to tighten up the query so that it only sends emails to user's that are a certain number of days away from expiring. For example if you had 5 users and three of them expire in 5 days, and the other two expire in six days you can have the query select only the users who expire in 5 days. This would send to the the three example workers whose expiration date is 5 days away but it would not send to the other two who expire in 6 days. When you run this same query 24 hours later there should only be two matches and they would get their email while the others remain untouched.
I think this is the best way to go about it, then you do not have to account for others that may have already received the email.
thanks for your response.
Great idea about query for just accounts that are 5 days from expiration; works great and only sends the email once since i am running the page just once per day.
I could not get the cron set up properly to run once per day but i used windows task scheduler to open the url once per day and it finds the qualifying accounts and UE sends the email.
Have been watching your post with interest as this is something I am looking to do. I have never used Windows Task Manager before and wondered if you could shed some light as to how you set this up?
Thanks Jo
i have windows 7
go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler
Click 'Create Task'
Tabs are General, Triggers, Actions, Conditions, Settings
Action to open URL -
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" www.mydomain.com/[and then page you want to open]
Triggers is time of day, daily, weekly, etc.
The page opened has a recordset that GETS record of any customer expiring in 5 days.
UE trigger is 'recordset not empty'
If there is a customer expiring in 5 days, UE sends the notice of expiration to the customer/customers and then redirects to a page that lists the customers that were sent the email.
the URL remains open on my PC until i close it.
I have it run daily at 10:30pm

Interest rates have been reduced to 1% by the Bank of England to try and kick start the economic recovery, or at the very least to slow the negative growth that the UK economy is experiencing. Previous cuts haven't had the desired effect and it doesn't look like this reduction will be any different.
This is further bad news for savers especially those who are elderly and rely heavily on their savings to survive and also counter productive for Banks who are seeking more deposits.

Events and cycles are lining up for a good correction, and the VIX is telegraphing investors positioning themselves with this protection. Wall Street can't make money without volatility, and the VIX is crushed. UVXY seems like a great stock/derivative to play it.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Exercise Plans and other Exercise topics.
To get a good idea of your fitness level before starting an exercise program, try running or walking for 12 minutes and see what kind of distance you can cover. If you cover a mile or more you're in decent shape. You should feel good about where you are. Start your exercise program at a more vigorous level if you do well. Don't feel bad if you don't get close to a mile. Most beginners can't. You just have to start out at a pace that is comfortable for you and increase it as your fitness improves.
i think that i will try it. the distance from walking from my school to the bus stop is more than a mile and i try to get to a certain place at a certain time.. so it will be fun to do walking and see what i can get done.
you should be able to jog a 12 minute mile, but walking? that's about impossible.
suzinpb, back when I was power walking vigorously I could power walk faster than most people jog! if you are in good shape it's not unreasonable to do a 12 min mile, since it should take about 15 mins to walk a mile.
I have osteoarthritis. Running or walking at this rate does not reflect my fitness. I currently hit the bike and am getting excellent results. Walking takes forever. And, although I could run when I was in my twenties, there is no way I can run today without causing additional pain and damage. Try to find a better indicator than running or walking so us so called old folks can actually use the data or information. BTW, yes, you would have a tought time staying with me on the bike.
i run about a 6 to 7 minute mile, walking i can do about half a mile in 10 minutes
Walking a 12 minute mile even on a tread mill is impossible or so I believe. As to accomplishing that distance on a track, or sidewalk, not possible. I can easily do 15 minute miles for an hour on a tread mill with an incline.
At a relaxed walk, no, you probably would not get a 12-minute mile time. If you walk with a purpose one could definitely reach that mark. Congrats to you that tried it!
Rod, good work on the bike, and yes i'm sure you could beat me at a 'cycle off' because you do it so often that your muscles no longer have to think about how to do the motion, they are adapted to it. Therefore you can do it no problem but the results that you were seeing initially i'm sure have flat-lined unless you have added some other kind of exercise. In regards to the pains you have, good Personal Trainers/Physical Therapists should be able to show you exercises you could do to strengthen your body parts that feel pain when you exercise. Just a tip :)
very good tip to heed. I thought it was useless for me to continue, thinking I had NO stamina at 46. Thanks for the boost.

ISIS Acknowledges NYC Subway Bomber, But Refuses to Claim Ullah as Their Own
The Islamic State acknowledged in the new issue of their weekly al-Naba newsletter that Monday's New York subway bomber claimed to be their "soldier," without explicitly claiming Akayed Ullah back.
The attack news was demoted even further back in the issue than the Halloween attack on a Manhattan bike path, in which Sayfullo Saipov is accused of killing eight people before his capture. That was on page 3 next to the editor's note, while Ullah was relegated to the news briefs buried on page 11 of 12.
Ullah, 27, a lawful permanent resident from Bangladesh who lived with his family in Brooklyn, is accused of setting off the improvised explosive device during Monday morning rush hour in Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal. There were three injuries that consisted of ringing ears or headaches, and Ullah was burned on his abdomen from the pipe bomb detonation.
The criminal complaint says Ullah told investigators "I did it for the Islamic State," while news stories cited law enforcement sources saying Ullah told them he had also read al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's Inspire magazine and found the bomb-making instructions online.
Inspire, which is published in English and circulated widely online, features more practical how-to advice for jihadists than ISIS publications, with explicit directions geared toward novices for making a variety of devices. The bomb recipe from "The AQ Chef" used by Ullah was published in the summer 2015 issue, including a Christmas light in the circuit.

Violence against Native women was the main subject of the event. Many of the speakers either made sure to acknowledge the victims of sexual violence, or told personal stories proving that this issue must be addressed. Indigenous women who are sexually assaulted are sometimes 'disappeared', and even when they are not, justice seems to be hard to come by as a result of their brown skin.
The speaker that drew my attention the most was a Native American women from British Colombia, Canada. I cannot recall her name, but she told of how this type of atrocity has personally touched her. Her niece was found murdered, and to her knowledge, the one responsible has not been brought to justice. This story brought about one of her main points, oil pipeline expansion, and 'fracking', requires bringing in a bunch of laborers who stay at temporary settlements called 'man camps'. These 'man camps' brings an increase of criminal activity, especially sexual assaults.
The work required to increase oil production often infringes on Native American territory, bringing an outsider presence with it through these so called 'man camps'. A female law enforcement officer, Grace Her Many Horses, before beginning work as an officer around one of these 'man camps' was specifically told of how sexual assaults become prevalent in the surrounding areas of these settlements. I have often seen the environmental argument against oil pipeline expansion and 'fracking' in particular, but I have never seen a widespread call-to-attention of the increased sexual assaults that occur as a result of increasing oil production. She tells of one particularly heinous act where, "We found a crying, naked, four year old girl running down one of the roads right outside of the Man Camp. She had been sexually assaulted".
With this in mind, I am surprised that I have only been cognizant of the environmental argument against increasing oil production. This may be an indictment of my own obliviousness to the crimes against Native women that occur in North America, but this must also be an indictment of the media's apathy towards criminal acts against Native Americans. If these type of 'man camps' are necessary in order to build up oil production infrastructure, then the responsible companies must also shell out the cash to increase the law enforcement presence because this problem is proven to be real, and must be dealt with or else the list of sexual assault victims, and disappeared peoples, will continue to increase with oil production.

Tortuous Colon Symptoms
Being diagnosed with a tortuous colon could send some into hysterics, mostly due to the ominous-sounding name. Yet despite its name, a tortuous colon isn't nearly as frightening as it sounds. It's rarely a serious condition, and the symptoms can normally be treated through dietary changes alone.
Being diagnosed with a tortuous colon could send some into hysterics, mostly due to the ominous-sounding name. Yet despite its name, a tortuous colon isn't nearly as frightening as it sounds. It's rarely a serious condition, and the symptoms can normally be treated through dietary changes alone.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
A tortuous colon isn't called that due to the pain it inflicts. In this instance, tortuous simply means "having bends and twists." While that's an apt description for all intestines, a tortuous colon, sometimes known as a redundant colon, simply means the colon is longer than usual. It only becomes a serious problem when the elongated colon loops too much and becomes severely twisted, possibly leading to intestinal blockages.
Some individuals are born with a tortuous colon. In others, the condition develops over time due to improper diet. If a person doesn't consume enough fiber, their stools can become hard and difficult to pass. This can lead to severe constipation. The subsequent straining and slow passage of stools through the digestive tract can eventually lengthen the colon, making it literally tortuous.
The symptoms of a tortuous colon are similar to those of irritable bowel syndrome and other gastrointestinal problems. They typically include cramps, bloating, excessive gas and irregular bowel movements. In some cases, skin rashes can develop due to waste and toxins not passing through the colon quickly enough.
A colonoscopy is often required to properly diagnose a tortuous colon. In a colonoscopy, a doctor inserts a thin, flexible camera, called a colonoscope, into the patient's rectum to examine the interior of the large intestine for any ulcers, tumors, polyps, bleeding, or inflammation. The test will also reveal if the colon itself is tortuous. If the tortuous colon is too twisted, it can prohibit the doctor from getting the colonoscope through the entire colon, limiting the effectiveness of the procedure.
The best treatment for a tortuous colon is to reduce the stress on the colon. This can be done by introducing more fiber to the diet. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. It's also important to drink generous amounts of water. The combination of the increased fiber and water will produce softer stools and make waste elimination much easier. If the improved diet fails to alleviate symptoms, laxatives may be prescribed to aid with bowel movements.
Despite erroneous fears to the contrary, a tortuous colon does not lead to cancer, nor does having a tortuous colon predispose someone to develop cancer.

I am the Design director. To our clients, this means that I'm their Single Point Of Contact during the creative process. At first, I lead their digital transformation by framing their value proposition and audience, and later by designing from concept to delivery.
To the teams I work with, my role is to facilitate a smooth design process. I don't ideate from an ivory tower. Instead, I eagerly join teams in the trenches to foster collaboration and motivate people to produce their best work.
Before embarking on this adventure, I worked as employee for a few companies. One thing that struck me was the overarching complexity of any project. Somehow, the problem to solve was never as complex as its management or some bureaucratic limitation. Being a fan of all things Agile, I believed there was room for improvement. And being an individualist at heart, I had to do it my way! [laughs]
I have an eclectic background in design, development, linguistics, and visual arts. This affords me a cross disciplinary view. I am interested in emergent behaviors: when skilled people get together to create something grand. Such groups need a conductor who lets each member shine while leading the result to something bigger. I do my best to fit that role.
People confuse individualism with egoism! The contrary of egoism is altruism, the contrary of individualism is collectivism. There is little point in restraining the individual, I believe instead in nurturing what makes each of us unique, and to perform that ability as best we can. This notion relates so much to branding, I want it to permeate with our clients. We live in a global age, be competitive by defining your difference!
My favorite part is the conceptual phase between ideation and implementation. Assumptions have been made that must now be tested as you draft the first prototype. Interviewing users in the field is an eye opening experience, it motivates me to pursue simplicity. But eventually, the end result trumps the rest. Ideas change during the lifetime of a project, but judgement is passed on the end result. It ain't over till it's over.
My favorite book is Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. And my favorite artwork is perhaps this photograph of Sylvia Guillem by Richard Avedon. Both strong aesthetic works of individualism and simplicity.
I admire highly driven people such as Steve Jobs, Dieter Rams or Frank Lloyd Wright. I find beautiful works on dribbble or Pinterest, watch movies, read a ton on and offline… I try to let go of what I see, with inspiration as an echo at the outskirts of my concepts rather than center stage.
I would share the same advice I give to my teams: focus and drive is more important than any knowledge you previously acquired. In today's world, most knowledge is a few fingertips away. So, if you want to achieve a goal, keep learning and do what it takes to get there!

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Thursday that he would impose a 5 percent tariff on all imported goods from Mexico beginning June 10, a tax that would "gradually increase" until the flow of undocumented immigrants across the border stopped.
The announcement, which Mr. Trump made on his Twitter feed, said the tariffs would be in place "until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP."
On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,..— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2019
In a presidential statement that followed, he said that tariffs would be raised to 10 percent on July 1 "if the crisis persists," and then by an additional 5 percent each month for three months. They would remain at 25 percent until Mexico acted, he said.
An across-the-board tariff on all Mexican goods would exact a serious toll on American consumers and corporations, and is likely to generate significant opposition among businesses. Rufus Yerxa, the president of the National Foreign Trade Council, which represents the nation's largest exporters, called the move "a colossal blunder."
The president's threat escalated his immigration fight with Mexico and is a significant move against an American ally that essentially dared the Mexican government to risk economic catastrophe on both sides of the border if it did not capitulate to the demands of the United States president.
But while Mr. Trump has made cracking down on illegal immigration a priority, his announcement on Thursday could derail another of his chief goals: Revising the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico.
[Read more on how Trump's trade war is being fought around the world.]
Markets reacted quickly. The Mexican peso weakened against the American dollar, while shares of Japanese automakers fell because many of them have manufacturing facilities in Mexico. Futures that track American stocks suggested Wall Street would open lower on Friday.
Previous administrations have tried to pressure the Mexican government to do more to stem the flow of migrants and to combat drugs and other crime. But no president has used the kind of blunt-force threat that Mr. Trump wielded on Thursday night against a neighbor and an ally as critical to the American economy as Mexico.
Mexico is Washington's largest trading partner, sending across the border items like tomatoes, cars and rugs. Mexico sent the United States $346.5 billion of goods last year — meaning that a 5 percent tariff on those products would amount to a tax increase of more than $17 billion.
Most of the costs would then be passed on to businesses and consumers.
Mexico's deputy foreign minister for North America, Jesús Seade, said at a hastily arranged news conference on Thursday that Mr. Trump's announced tariffs would be "disastrous" and suggested Mexico could retaliate against American products. But in a letter to Mr. Trump posted online, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico said he did not want a "confrontation" with his American counterpart and insisted on the need for dialogue.
Mr. Trump's frustration over the rising number of illegal border crossings has steadily risen since January, when Democrats refused to grant him billions of dollars to build his long-promised wall along the southwestern border. Since then, he has consistently framed immigration as a national security crisis and tried different tactics to punish the countries he blames for the flow of migrants.
[Read on how China is planning a list of US firms to block in answer to Trump.]
He has moved to cut off all foreign aid to countries like Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and threatened to completely seal off the border with Mexico, a move that numerous officials told him would violate American law and international treaties.
He later retreated from that threat by giving Mexico a "one-year warning" instead and threatening heavy auto tariffs on cars coming into the United States. Mr. Trump also shifted hundreds of Customs and Border Protection agents from inspecting goods flowing into the United States to policing the southwestern border, a move that has disrupted trade by producing long wait times at border crossings.
He has also purged top officials at the Department of Homeland Security, including the secretary, Kirstjen M. Nielsen. But he has continued to say that he believes Mexico could do more to prevent the problem.
Earlier on Thursday, the administration said it planned to seek congressional approval of its revised trade pact with Mexico and Canada, known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which would preserve the ultralow tariffs originally put into place under Nafta. To hasten approval of the deal in all three countries, Mr. Trump recently agreed to lift tariffs the United States had placed on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico. Those countries, in turn, agreed to lift punishing tariffs on American goods, including farm products like pork, whiskey, apples and cheese.
Administration officials on Thursday portrayed the president's move as a matter of national security, suggesting it would take priority over other goals.
"The situation is both a humanitarian and a border security crisis that has become a national emergency," Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary of homeland security, said in a conference call with reporters after the announcement, echoing the messaging that Mr. Trump has used relentlessly for the past several months.
White House officials were vague about what actions by Mexico would satisfy Mr. Trump enough to postpone or cancel the tariffs. Mr. McAleenan said the Mexicans needed to do three things: increase security at the border with Guatemala, crack down on criminal gangs that help migrants and help the United States more with asylum seekers.
"We are going to judge success here by the number of people crossing the border and that number needs to come down substantially," said Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff. He added that the administration would judge Mexico's actions on a "day-to-day, week-to-week basis."
Mr. Mulvaney said administration officials had consulted with leadership in both chambers of Congress before announcing the tariffs, saying that they had "talked to Republicans more than we did Democrats."
He later joked that the actual number of Democrats the administration had briefed was "zero."
In the past, the president has used the threat of tariffs to try to pressure foreign leaders into taking an array of actions, like renegotiating trade deals or limiting the amount of metal or cars shipped to the United States.
In April, he threatened to place a 25 percent tariff on cars assembled in Mexico if it would not take action to stem the flow of migrants, walking back a promise he had made in the revised North American trade pact.
The president has told his advisers that he likes tariffs because they can take effect immediately and unilaterally. He has already imposed tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods and threatened to tax nearly all Chinese imports. And the United States continues to tax metals from Europe, Japan and other trading partners.
But tariffs are typically used to counter violations related to trade. If the administration followed through with unilateral tariffs against Mexico, it is likely to face serious legal challenges.
In the statement, Mr. Trump said he was using authorities granted to him by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which gives the president broad power to take action to address any "unusual or extraordinary threat."
Imports from Mexico include billions of dollars of cars, machinery, fuel, medical devices and many other goods. The country is also the United States' largest supplier of agricultural imports, including cucumbers, grapes, beer and avocados.
The nations also share complex cross-border supply chains. Many of the products that Mexico sends to the United States, including cars and clothes, are made with parts or materials that were originally made in the United States.
Mr. Seade, speaking to reporters, called the threat serious. "If it comes to pass, we — in my opinion — should respond in an energetic way," he told reporters.
For now, he said, Mexican officials would make "discreet" contact with their counterparts in Washington to figure out "what we're talking about and make sure that that isn't really on the table."
"There is no justification for doing this over migration," he added.
Senator Charles E. Grassley, a Republican from Iowa who has been one of the biggest critics of Mr. Trump's trade approach, rebuked the president over his actions on Thursday night.
"Trade policy and border security are separate issues," he said in a statement. "This is a misuse of presidential tariff authority and counter to congressional intent."
Eswar Prasad, a professor of trade policy at Cornell University, said the tariffs would have "substantially disruptive effects on the tightly-woven supply chains in North America and portend even greater uncertainty in U.S. relationships with major trading partners."
Immigration hard-liners, however, praised the move. "President Trump went out of his way to work with Mexico to alleviate this crisis," said Stephen K. Bannon, the former White House chief strategist. "They failed to act. Now he dropped the hammer. The ratcheting up to 25 percent will get their attention."

· Strip foundation
· Wide Strip Foundation
· Raft Foundation
· Piled Foundation
An important note. When you unload the dungeon, you need to gain control of the buildings, the NHBC or an independent structural engineer to examine the ground before pouring the bases. Disregarding this means getting your bases as the worst case, especially when the soil is not suitable for the type of foundation you intend to pour.
It's safe to do the checks
Trench Fill
] Filling the ditch is a technique used by deep bases to fill ditches. What's going on, going to the scene and digging your bases, but about 1600 or maybe even 2,000 mm under the ground. Obviously, you do not want to fill this depth in full depth, so you order a weak mix of concrete from your finished mix company and fill it in the ditch until you reach the depth on which your bases are proposed for concrete. Tunnel filling is just as powerful as a good carrier to provide a good foundation for the base of the strip.
Strip Foundation
The base of the strip is the simplest house foundation. This is a Gen 1 grade concrete with a width of 650 m wide and generally up to 350 mm, with reinforced steel to the upper or lower part of the base or occasionally to both. It is preferable for engineers to plan the foundation for you and give you the size before starting. The base of the strip is replaced with a wide strip base and now supports the inner walls of the house.
Wide Striped Stones
Wide Streaks are Similar to Standard Stripes, Unless Wider. They are wider to spread the space over the ground. Wider strips are usually used in worse soil conditions. The base strips are generally 1 m wide x 450 mm deep, reinforced steel or upper or lower part of the foundation or sometimes both, although the engineer may determine other dimensions depending on the soil conditions and the load applied to the foundation
Raft Foundations
Basically, this is a concrete slab concrete that is placed under the steel reinforced concrete slab on the base of the house. While the raft foundation is still in use, it is slowly leaving fashion as shipwreck tends to lie in very bad soil conditions.
Good quality areas are scarce, the weak unpaved soils are currently being built. Weak or liquid soils or soils containing large amounts of compressible elements are of primary importance to piles. Pile is simply a square-length concrete through which four ironed steel rods run through.
The pile is generally 350 mm depending on the engineer and can be of any length from 4m to 12m. The engineer determines the number of piles needed to support the house and where to place them. This is usually within in-house nodes and intersections. They stumble as long as they are not instructed. So they will not go any further.
After the piles were driven on the vertexes, they were slaughtered and all they had to do was stick to the beams. A mud or 50 mm concrete layer is then placed on site. Then the line of the house is marked, as well as all the internal load-bearing walls. Then, on each side of the piles, a small support wall is built in order to create a trench within which the bases can be cast.
After the blockade is completed, reinforced concrete is poured into the concrete site and engineers plan to plan and combine to form a steel cage that forms the foundation of the foundations. These are on top of the piles. Once the steel was installed, fitted and tied, the concrete was poured in the same way as a ribbon or a wide ribbon base. The concrete is mixed with poker to remove any excess air bubbles from the primer.
All you have to do is wait for the concrete to solidify and start building your house. Generally, pre-stressed floor tiles are used for accumu- lated foundation. This is a very safe and fast method for building.

President-elect Donald Trump tweeted early Sunday morning about how angry he is about Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin's portrayal of him on "Saturday Night Live."
Following this weekend's show, the president-elect didn't waste any time in blasting it as "unwatchable," "totally biased" and "not funny" ― while saying Baldwin's impersonation "just can't get any worse."
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 4, 2016
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad
This skit that seemed to anger Trump centered around Baldwin as Trump retweeting random people, including a high school student, during what should have been an important security briefing.
"There is a reason actually that Donald tweets so much," said "SNL" cast member Kate McKinnon as Trump's campaign manager and top aide Kellyanne Conway. "He does it to distract the media from his business conflicts and all the very scary people in his cabinet."
Baldwin as Trump replied: "Actually, that's not why I do it. I do it because my brain is bad." Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon even made an appearance, as the Grim Reaper.
In November, the president-elect said the the show "totally one-sided" and "biased." The previous month, while he was still on the campaign trail, he said it was "boring and unfunny" and called for it to be scrapped.

Fine Art Friday: Ronald Ophuis
I recently came across the work of Ronald Ophius in Elephant Magazine and was moved by both the grim subject matter and the variety of his work. If you follow the Fine Art Friday posts at all, you will pick up on the fact that I am a huge fan of dark subject matter and art that makes the viewer uncomfortable. Harsh truths about the animal-like instincts of humans in times of conflict painted in gritty, splotchy paint will always keep my attention. Reminiscent of Leon Golub, David Becker, and Francis Bacon, you can check out more of his work on his Upstream website HERE.

Listen: AbnormL Injustice - "Life Is The Main Event" Album
Kind of a left field post here, but I just came across the work of AbnormL Injustice and was digging the sounds of a fellow experimental, instrumental producer who takes a more mellow approach to his music. Using irregular sounds and some faithful throwback and jazzy samples, he brings a nice mix of beats to zone out with on his latest album "Life Is The Main Event". Here's hoping for more from the LA-based producer in the years to come!

Listen: Stretch X Bobbito Radio Show "Pop-Up Special"
The Stretch Armstrong Show hosted by Bobbito special POP-UP show originally aired on 02.22.13. Prior to their guest appearance at the New Museum, Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito did a "one-time" only "pop up" show on their original time slot, day and station 89.9 WKCR FM NYC. Listen and observe a true hip hop legend in action. In the heyday of rap, lyrical freestyles, grimey beats, and improvisation were the real test of someone's cred and the archives of the Stretch and Bobbito broadcasts showcase these skills that are sorely missed today's faulty swag-based rap scene.

When employees report ethical, legal, or environmental wrongdoing by their employers, they risk retaliation by their employer. Employees in these situations are referred to as "whistleblowers." Retaliation can take many forms including:
However, because as a society we want to encourage the reporting of wrongdoing in the workplace, there are federal and state laws, called "whistleblower" laws, which provide employees a level of protection from retaliation and ultimately encourage employees to speak out. If you believe your employer has retaliated against you for reporting a violation, make sure that you file a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration within thirty days of your employer's act of retaliation.
In Georgia, whistleblower laws prohibit public employers from taking action (or threatening to take action) in response to a complaint about a legal violation or breach of the public trust. It should be noted that Georgia's whistleblower laws only protect public (not private) employees
The main provisions of Georgia whistleblower laws are listed in the following table.
Code Section
Prohibited Employer Activity
No action may be taken or threatened by any public employer with authority to take, direct others to take, recommend or approve as a reprisal for making a complaint or disclosing information to the public employer unless information disclosed with knowledge that it was false or with willful disregard for its truth or falsity
Protection for Public or Private Employees?
Opportunity for Employer to Correct?
Can have any prohibited action taken by employer set aside in a proceeding in court
Note: State laws are constantly changing -- contact a Georgia employment attorney or conduct your own legal research to verify the state law(s) you are researching.

You can also check out FindLaw's section on whistleblowers to get more general information on the topic. Finally, consider consulting with an employment law attorney to ensure that your rights are fully preserved and protected if you find yourself in a whistleblower situation.

MOSCOW, April 14. /TASS/. Russia has submitted a question to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) asking why results of the analysis, pertaining to the Skripal poisoning, carried out by Swiss experts at the Spiez laboratory were not included in the final report, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Saturday at an annual Assembly of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy.
"The clinical picture fits in better with the use of BZ chemical. None of those factors, to say nothing of BZ, were mentioned in the report that OPCW experts had presented to the Executive Council," Lavrov said.
"In this connection, we are asking the OPCW a question: Why was the information that would reflect conclusions of the experts from the laboratory in the city of Spiez omitted in the final report?".
