U.K. corporate expense management solutions provider Fraedom, which was recently acquired by Visa, will be providing its commercial card technology to U.S.-based UMB Financial Corporation, the companies announced in a press release sent to PYMNTS on Wednesday (Sept. 5).
Through their partnership, UMB will develop a suite of commercial card solutions for corporate customers that includes expense management and reporting, as well as a mobile app linked to the solutions. Existing corporate customers of UMB will be migrated to the Fraedom platform, the firms noted, which will be white-labeled with UMB logo and design.
"Partnering with Fraedom will enable us to bring significant benefits to our business customers across the U.S.," said Uma Wilson, UMB senior vice president and director of product management, in a statement. "Our new suite of commercial card services will enable them to achieve enhanced operational efficiencies and help ease customers' day-to-day needs."
Wilson added that their collaboration will also improve the user experience and provide faster access to features linked to their commercial card and expense management solutions.
In another statement, Fraedom CEO Kyle Ferguson said their collaboration exemplifies the improvement in services that banks can achieve when working with FinTech firms.
"This partnership is a great example of the way banks can differentiate their services and stay competitive in the face of ever-evolving market demands," he said. "For banks, partnerships are a great way to accelerate the development and introduction of services to bring solutions to the market [that] the industry expects."
After UMB customers are migrated to the Fraedom platform, their partnership will focus on enhancing existing services through the launch of a new mobile app to complement the browser platform. The companies said they expect the app to launch in the first half of next year.
"We see mobile as a key element of the partnership moving forwards," Ferguson added.

Tea Meldings
A message from the tea plant
I am an ancient medicine plant long admired for my health bringing properties. I nourish body, soothe the mind and excite the spirit. I carry the wisdom of the East westwards, inspiring you to let go of limiting beliefs and perceptions. I inspire you to reach for your own greatest self. I open you to the depths of your being. I will support you as you transform what lies in shadow into golden light.
Use me reverently and respectfully and I will awaken the wisdom that lies within you. I can signpost your way as you journey into greater and greater harmony with all that is. I am thorough in my action and far reaching in my consequence. Do not trivialise what I have to offer you. Slow down, honour your relationship with me and you will taste freedom.
What is a Melding?
Meldings are the creation of Sarah Atkinson, medical herbalist, and Jane Alexander, soul worker and energetics practitioner and were named after the Medieval word 'meld' meaning a blend. They are blends of plant and vibrational plant energy created to interact with your subjective experience. Many people find working with plant 'medicine' beneficial and herbs have been traditionally used as aids for health for centuries.
Meldings work a little like the food we eat and a little like flower essences and can be used to support your emotional wellbeing as well as to facilitate spiritual development or healing work. If you are interested in learning more about the original Meldings and their families then please take a look at our website: www.meldings.com
Just as the original Meldings came about through a chance conversation between Sarah and Jane, the Tea Meldings arose from a chance meeting between Sarah, Jane, Anne and Ric at ATTIC Teas. The high quality and purity of ATTIC tea means that it is perfect for creating Meldings from. Jane & Anne became very excited about the possibilities of tea Meldings almost straight away and, well...here they are!
They are a little different in effect from drinking the tea as part of your everyday. It can be helpful to think of them as a focused element of each tea's qualities. We recommend that you work with them mindfully or during meditation and with clear intent and don't underestimate their impact. It can be great to take a particular Melding alongside your favourite ATTIC tea but it can also be powerful to take one that contrasts with your usual cuppa.
You might find that the intuitive choice is both the most surprising and the most helpful. We really recommend that whichever you choose, you also work with the Inteagration Melding for integration of your experiences. You will get more from them if you are present when you take them, during meditation or one of the associated practices for example. But you can take a drop or two every day either in a little water or in your cup or pot of tea.

The seasons of love
The seasons of love
(The first chapter)
A Chapter by Coyote Poetry
Old memories.
Late August 1978. My Scotland Beauty and I were enjoying our last days and nights together. She was a auburn hair beauty who stole my heart in the Early Spring. We drank, danced and create a life. She was working the Summer in Germany and she needed to finish her college in Scotland. We made great plans for love and marriage. Last day of August, I was waiting for Sheena by the Boebingen small lake. I was sitting by the lake and reading some Jack London. A beautiful German stood above me and she asked. What you reading Johnnie? I looked up. A long blond hair beauty with river blue eyes were watching me. I held silence surveying perfect legs and body in her see-through white Summer dress. I told her. Jack London book "When Gods laugh". I asked her. You know my name and I don't know your name. She smiled and she told me. " I have been looking for you. You have forgotten me. At the Spring Festival in January. You promised me wild nights and great love. If you don't know. You are famous. You were the beer drinking champ of the tavern and the wild man who loved the girls. We danced, we laughed and I held you till the morning lights. You escaped me in the morning. Are you afraid of the German girls? My name is Daniela."
Daniela, she left me breathless. She was a perfect German girl. Eyes of blue, tall, long legs and robust breasts. She was a tempting woman. She was filled with confident and she had a voice of a angel. I told her. I remember you. You carried me to your home, wrapped me in a blanket and you caressed my forehead like a little baby. I did escape. You are too beautiful for me. Mistress love is dangerous and can be so sweet. She will tempt you and give you everything. Bring you into a self-made prison where heartbreak is the final place. If I held you too long. I would be addicted. I know wild and free spirits. You are a wild and free lady. No-one will own you or keep you. You would be the keeper.
She smiled and laughed at my words. She asked me. "Am I siren or muse dear Johnnie. Remember love that is slumbering in darkness. Become a heavy load to carry. If you don't attempt the temptation of touch and kiss. You will always wish you did. When you seek more than beer and song. Please come find me dear Poet."
Sheena arrived at noon. She was leaving for her home in two days. She was my Spring and Summer love. I told her. I wrote a poem for you dear love.
My Sheena
I have adored you my love since the first I saw you.
You were a Summer rose on a cold Winter day.
I re-arranged my life to find you and know you.
You have become my first wish and last wish.
We have sang, danced and allowed love to grow.
Please be my lover today, tomorrow and forever"
She fell into my arms and she cries. She whispered to me. "Johnnie, my sweet. Please wait for me. Please don't break my heart. "I told her. I would die first. Her fingertips roll over my bare arm and to my face. I took her hands and I kissed them. I told her. I will miss you everyday and I want you to do well in school. I will here, yearning and waiting for you my love.

Stage set for biggest ever Odissi show
The eight-day event will start with a mega dance show by 555 performers together on a single platform tomorrow in an effort to find a place in the Guiness World Record.
Odissi dancers from India and abroad would perform during the grand festival organised by Odisha`s tourism and culture department in association with Odissi Research Centre (ORC) and US-based Indian performing Arts Promotion (IPAP), Ramahari Das of ORC said.
The event comes after a performance of around 2,800 Kuchipudi dancers, who earned he Guiness World Record last year in Hyderabad, a senior culture department official said.
A huge podium has been prepared at the sprawling Kalinga Stadium in the state capital for 555 Odissi dancers to perform, Das said.
Authorities of the Guiness World Records are slated to be present at the venue.
Besides Kalinga Stadium, programmes would be presented at Rabindra Mandap, Utkal Mandap and Utkal Sangeet Mahavidyalaya during the festival.
Seminars, symposia and discussions on Odissi dance would also be organised during the festival which go a long way in increasing the popularity of the dance form, Guru Ratikant Mohapatra said.

Granulocytopenia is a topic covered in the 5-Minute Emergency Consult.
To view the entire topic, please sign in or purchase a subscription.
Emergency Central is a collection of disease, drug, and test information including 5-Minute Emergency Medicine Consult, Davis's Drug, McGraw-Hill Medical's Diagnosaurus®, Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Tests, and MEDLINE Journals created for emergency medicine professionals. Explore these free sample topics:
-- The first section of this topic is shown below --
- A significant decrease in the number of granulocytes in the peripheral blood.
- 3 classes of granulocytes:
- Neutrophils or polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells and bands
- Eosinophils
- Basophils
- As PMN cells predominate, the term neutropenia is often used interchangeably with granulocytopenia, as almost all granulocytopenic patients are neutropenic.
- Granulocytes are a key component of the innate immune system.
- The clinical risks resulting from granulocytopenia are best defined by the level of the absolute neutrophil count (ANC):
- ANC = WBC × percentage (PMN + bands)
- Modern automated instruments often calculate and report ANC.
- Neutropenia: ANC <1,500 cells/mm3:
- Mild: Between 1,000 and 1,500
- Moderate: Between 500 and 1,000
- Severe: <500
- Agranulocytosis: <100
- Patients with a count <1,000 that has recently or rapidly fallen are at greater risk for infection than those with a count <500 but rising.
- Patients with myelodysplastic syndromes should be considered granulocytopenic with higher counts because of defective neutrophils.
- 4 basic mechanisms cause granulocytopenia:
- Decreased production
- Ineffective granulopoiesis
- Shift of circulating PMN cells to vascular endothelium
- Enhanced peripheral destruction.
- Mortality of fever and neutropenia is as high as 50% if untreated:
- Mortality correlates with the duration and severity of the neutropenia and the time elapsed until the 1st dose of antibiotics.
- 21% of patients with cancer and neutropenic fever develop serious complications.
Pediatric Considerations
- Newborn infants have a physiologically elevated ANC in the 1st few days of life and may be granulocytopenic with levels >1,500/μL.
- Children >3 mo without underlying immunodeficiency or a central venous catheter unexpectedly found to have isolated moderate neutropenia are not at high risk of serious bacterial infection.
- Most common in patients undergoing myelosuppressive drug therapy or radiation treatment for neoplasms. Most common 5–10 days after chemo.
- Adverse reaction to drugs is the 2nd most common cause:
- Excludes cytotoxic drugs and requires at least 4 wk of administration prior to the onset of granulocytopenia
- Discontinuation usually results with correction within 30 days.
- Drugs with the highest risk:
- Antipsychotic: Clozapine
- Antibiotic: Sulfasalazine
- Antithyroid: Thioamides
- Antiplatelet agents
- Antiepileptic drugs
- NSAIDs
- Drugs that suppress the bone marrow:
- Methotrexate
- Cyclophosphamide
- Colchicine
- Azathioprine
- Ganciclovir
- Chemicals
- Bacterial infections:
- Typhoid
- Shigella enteritis
- Brucellosis
- Tularemia
- Tuberculosis
- Parasitic infections:
- Kala azar
- Malaria
- Rickettsial infections:
- Rickettsialpox
- Ehrlichiosis
- Rocky Mountain spotted fever
- Viral infections
- Postinfectious neutropenia:
- Most severe and protracted following HIV, hepatitis B, and Epstein–Barr viral infections
- Immune-related:
- Primary immune neutropenia:
- Due to antineutrophil antibodies
- Crohn's disease
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Goodpasture disease
- Wegener granulomatosis
- Thymoma
- Compliment activation
- Primary immune neutropenia:
- Bone marrow infiltration
- Transfusion reaction
- Alcoholism
- Vitamin deficiency (B12/folate/copper)
- Chronic idiopathic neutropenia
- Pure white cell aplasia
Pediatric Considerations
- Congenital neutropenia:
- Neutropenia with abnormal immunoglobulins
- Reticular dysgenesis
- Severe congenital neutropenia or Kostmann syndrome
- Cyclic neutropenia
- Chronic benign neutropenia
- Neonatal isoimmune neutropenia
- Shwachman–Diamond syndrome
- Cartilage–hair hypoplasia
- Dyskeratosis congenita
- Barth syndrome
- Chédiak–Higashi syndrome
- Myelokathexis
- Lazy leukocyte syndrome

I have too many characters in the Saved name of a JPEG file. How can I shorten the name so it can be opened?
Rename the file so that the name is short enough to open.
You've been helped by a 15 year old.
And if there is some reason you can't rename it, tell us more.
Such as how long the name is, how you know it is too long,
which filesystem is used by the partition that the file is on, etc.
Windows' limit of 260 characters is the length of the entire
path, not just the filename and extension.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
message edited by Jeff Root
Usually you just right click and then Rename from the drop down. The file should still open normally.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Thanks, Jeff.
Usually, of course, right-clicking the mouse provides the option of Renaming a file. However, the Rename option is not included in the options when right-clicking this file.
The Rename option remains available for all my other files.
I do indeed have a very long file name, and it probably does exceed the 260 character limit. But when I saved the file originally with Windows XP, I was not warned that the long name would hamper my ability to open the file later. There are warnings for improperly doing other things, but apparently not this one.
I only mention XP because now I am using Windows 7, which may or may not have anything to do with this problem (I certainly doubt it).
In any event, this is pretty perplexing. Any more thoughts?
I think you jumped the gun when you marked my post as
the best answer. It may be the best response so far, but
it isn't an answer to your problem.
The default is for a single click on a filename to select it.
If you wait a second, then click again, it should immediately
go into "rename" mode.
Aternatively, instead of clicking a second time, you can hit
the F2 key to go into "rename" mode.
If neither of those work, lemme know, and I bet I can come
up with something else to try.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
A live Linux CD would fix it. You can about do anything with that and Windows will not get in the way. The other possibility is to rename it using the command prompt (if it will let you).
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Jeff, your F2 suggestion works on every file except my problem file. I get no response from F2 on my problem file.
When I right-click, the Options are:
Open, Set as desktop background, edit, print, review, rotate clockwise,
rotate counter clockwise, open with, pin to start menu, send to
When I click "Open" I get a small screen that states, "the file name or extension is too long." In the upper left part of the screen is "Explore.EXE." The lower right of the screen is an "OK" button.
When I try the other Options available to me, I get No Response or the same small screen saying the name's too long. An exception is the "Review" Option which prompts the following message on a full screen:
Windows Photo Reviewer cannot open this picture because either Photo
does not support this format, or you don't have the latest updates to
Photo Reviewer.
I'll bet anything all this has nothing to do with an Extension problem. The Saved Name is simply too long. But to not have some way to shorten that name defies all logic (at least 'logic' as I think of it).
Jeff, I hope will give this problem some more thought?
Re my #6.
Sorry I didn't make it clear that the two suggestions were to enable you to shorten the file name. I believe that the Live Linux CD (which just runs between RAM and the CD) would definitely work, maybe the command prompt idea - not so sure about that.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
message edited by Derek
Sorry, Derek, your message got by me before. Or maybe I just didn't understand it.
What's a "Linux CD" and what's a "command prompt?" How do I access and use these two things?
Linux Live CD's are produced using your burner software from a download. You start the computer with the CD in the drive and (if the CD drive is ahead of the hard disk) then you Linux will run direct from the CD only without affecting your Windows installation in any way. However it will give you access to any file on your hard disk so you could then find it and shorten the name - it's usually "Windows" that is stopping you.
I'm less confident about the command prompt idea because Windows is still running. To get there you type cmd.exe in search. A black screen with white writing then pops up and you type in the commands to rename the file. If you let me know exactly where the file resides and it's long name then I can give you the necessary information. We can probably work in "truncated 8 bit names", which could help our chances of renaming it - more later. This might be the easiest thing to try first.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Changing the name or copying the file to one with a new
name at the command prompt is what I came up with, too.
Also the 8.3 short filename. You should be able to use the
short name for the file and just ignore the long one. Short
names are eight characters long with a three-character
extension, like this:
VERYLO~1.PNG VeryLongFilenameThatSomebodyThoughtWasAGoo
All files with names longer than 8.3 have a short 8.3 version.
You don't need to know the whole long name in order for
Derek or me to help you -- just the first six letters of the
filename and the first three letters of the extension, as in
the example above.
It is also helpful to know the full path to the file. That is, the
drive letter and the names of the heirarchy of folders it is in,
if any.
I'd go with the Linux solution myself, since I already have
Ubuntu Linux installed on this computer. :) I got my Ubuntu
disk from the Computer Science help desk at the University
of Minnesota, so didn't have to download it or "burn" it.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
My guess is that the filename (including extension) is
255 characters long, which is the limit for NTFS drives,
and adding the path onto it makes it longer than the
Windows limit of 260 characters for the full path
including filename.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
Yep Jeff, agreed. You shouldn't need to quote the whole long name in order for
us to help you.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Is this JPEG file on a CDR? If so, copy and paste to your desktop. Then right click on it and choose properties. If read only is ticked, untick it and you should then be able to change the name.
Even if the file is on your hard drive the properties may still be marked as read only.
My answer to OtheHill: I am unable to copy my problem file. So even if I was familiar with a "CDR" (which I'm not). I wouldn't be able to copy it there anyway.
Thanks again to Derek and Jeff: Since I have been punished many times in the past for wandering into unknown cyberspaces, I hesitate to try and download Linux directly to my Burner. I can order a Linux CD itself for about $7.00, but will hold off until I see if the "Command Prompt" idea can work. Incidentally, there's all kinds of price ranges ($7 to hundreds of dollars) for the Linux CD, etc. Assume the $7 product is all I need?
Anyway, I searched and found the black screen after Searching for "cmd.exe." I'm not sure what to type next, nor what I will do after I type something. So, here goes:
My file name is:
Anderson & Plant_CheriGrahamPlantGradLPNSchool_George III Plant, son of CheriFriend(Newland), MikePlant,RoyAnderson,CheriPlant_GeorgePlantSr,GeorgePlantJr_OscarWendahl_1912EstesChicago_cic1974
The path:
1.5t/Backup/My Docs/My Pictures/FamilyHX_Anderson/FamilyMembers
Since all my other JPEG images have the ".jpg" extension, I assume so does my problem file. However, since I can't access the "Properties" of my problem file, I can't guarantee that it has the same extension.
I have no idea how many of these problem files I might have, I can identify at least 5 of them at this point, but I'm sure others are ready to ruin my day when I need a particular file that I know I have somewhere.
Anyway, I am continuing to ask for your help. Thanks.
Don't buy a "Linux CD" because you certainly don't want or need to install Linux. You could end up overwriting Windows. The idea with a "Live Linux CD" is that it only runs from the CD drive and does NOT install itself.
Is this path on the hard drive (as I assumed) or on a CD or DVD, as OtheHill asked?
If it is on a CD or DVD the whole situation becomes different.
If it is on the hard disk we need to be sure where the path actually starts from. What are you doing in order to get this path info?
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
I'm reading what's across the top of my screen when I'm ready to click the file icon. And, yes, this path is on the hard drive.
Wish I could be there to see what you are seeing and where LOL. What you gave was not the full path. I'm looking for the start point which must be before the "1.5t" part. It must be somewhere off the hard drive and there are likely to be other folders involved too. Maybe if you temporarily set to show hidden files and folders it will help - then perhaps you can track it down from "Computer".
This could be a little tricky for you if you are not into Files/Folders in a big way. Using a Search for most of the file name might find it and give you the full path if you right click and select Properties (assuming it even lets you do that).
Without a meaningful path we are stuck. From the path given there is a strong possibility this is on some sort of backup partition - in which case we would be treading where angels fear to do anything at all with it.
Silly question at this late stage but why do you want to open it - do you know what it is?
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
message edited by Derek
Your reply helped me find what I now believe is the complete path:
C:/Users/GeorgePlant/Desktop/1.5t/Backup/My Docs/My Pictures/FamilyHX_Anderson/FamilyMembers
The actual 'slashmarks' (as you must know) go in the other direction than what I've typed.
I was exploring some family history a few years ago, and I was Archiving old photographs by scanning them, then saving them to my computer. Savingimages got pretty challenging identifying people, places &dates. Hence the long file names. We all know that ignorance is Hell not Bliss.
Anyway, Derek, the photographs may no longer be available, though I certainly hope so.
Would appreciate more input if you have it. If not, I appreciate your help (along with Jeff's).
OK, that's nice and clear now. It was only the fact that Backup appeared in that path which worried me a tad.
It would be easier if you let me know one more important piece of information before we go ahead. From Windows will it let you open the folder "FamilyMembers"?
We can proceed whatever your answer but I want to make it as easy as possible for you by moving down the file structure as far as possible before we input the command. This will make the command shorter (thus avoiding typos which are not allowed).
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Click on Computer> tools> folder options> view. Check to display the full path in the title bar. Uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. Click Apply and OK.
This will show the file extension, or lack of it.
If you right click on the file in question you should then see a context menu that has many choices. Among those choices should be Copy, Paste, Rename. Do you see those?
OtheHill, when I click on Computer, nowhere can I find Tools, Folder Options, View.
Sorry, but you've lost me.
Derek, yes, I have many other files in my Family Members folder.
Shortly after I posted I realized that I was wrong about needing
to have the first three characters of the filename extension. Just
the first six characters of the filenane, which you've provided, will
be all you need.
I have complete confidence that you will be able to recover all of
your photos. Hang in there. I will. I think the others here will, too.
If you haven't already learned since saving those photos a long
time ago, someone who knows more about it than I do should
explain to you how to store descriptive information with your photos
so that you don't have to try to fit it all into the filename. There are
lots of options available, and some of them are already built into
I think the first thing you should do is to try to get as much of the
long filenames as possible, so you won't lose the information in
them by renaming them. Derek will probably guide you through
that if you haven't done it already. Otherwiise, I'll be glad to.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
The selection in Tools - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings
that you refer to says:
" Display the full path in the titlebar (Classic theme only) "
It is unlikely that he's using a classic theme. There are other
things he can do to see the full path if he currently doesn't see it.
I suggest that you find out first what he currently can see.
Since he has apparently provided the full path, I think we're ok.

Sorry had to go AWOL. I'll be back shortly with commands....
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Open up cmd.exe
In Command prompt we call folders "directories" (historic). Upper and lower case is unimportant, everything else must be input exactly.
Command Prompt should display C:\Users\GeorgePlant>
So "GeorgePlant" is the folder we are actually inside. Each of the next commands will change directory (cd) and move you further down the path you gave. Hit Enter key after each command. The next folder you are inside will display after each command, so you can check each step as you go:
cd Desktop
cd 1.5t
cd Backup
cd My Docs
cd My Pictures
cd FamilyHX_Anderson
cd FamilyMembers
If you get an error at any stage, type it again to see if it was a typo.
If the full path is now displayed we can then tackle the long file. Before that type dir/p and hit Enter which will show all the files in the folder, screen at a time. If there are a lot it will ask you to hit any key to show the next screen full (Enter will do).
If there are a number of files which start with Anderson then we are in for a bit of fun to find out which one we should be dealing with. If there is just one then this is the command to enter:
ren Anders~1.jpg New001.jpg
(Note: Just two spaces, one after ren and one after...jpg).
If this shakes out the dodgy file will be renamed to New001.jpg
If there are stacks then let me know how many. We might have to rename all of them.
Note that I could have given a single long command to do all this but by taking it step by step it should allow us to see where we are at each stage and minimise the chance of typos creeping in. It obviously rests with the assumption that the information you gave is "exactly" right.
Good luck

Excellent help, Derek.
I'll add a few remarks about using the command prompt.
The window cannot be widened, but it can be dragged taller
so you can see more lines.
If many files are in a directory, a " dir " or " dir /p " command
could have many pages. Hit Ctrl-C to immediately stop the
directory listing at any time.
Pressing the up-arrow key goes back through the commands
you have typed, so you can repeat a command without having
to re-type it. You can edit those commands as needed.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
I've found that dir/p usually stops neatly at a full screen but thanks for the extra half mile on this whatever. Every little helps as they say.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Yes, dir /p does stop at a full screen, but when he comes to
the page containing the file of interest, he'll want to stop there,
and can do so by hitting Ctrl-C.
But it also works when the files are whizzing up the screen
like movie credits on TV.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
OK thx - I get your drift.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
I'll give everything a try in the morning. Thanks one and all, and I'll let you know what happens.
One other minor point. Jpeg and jpg are pretty well exchangeable but jpg is mostly used. If the file extension was jpeg rather than jpg then add the missing "e" in the first part of the final command or it is unlikely to work.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
We forgot an important command. Use " cd .. " to exit the current
directory and go back to the directory one level up.
One of the extensions should work: .jpg or .jpe or .jpeg
If not, wildcards will probably do the trick.
The asterisk wildcard can be used in place of any number of
characters: " dir geor*.jp* " will list all files whose filenames
begin with the letters " geor " and have an extension which
begins with the letters " jp ".
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
Yeah, I guess there's stacks we could add. See how the poster gets on with what he has at #27 and if necessary various other tricks can be employed.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Another option would be to boot to the Windows Recovery Environment (Tap F8 at startup and select Repair Your Computer), and then open a command prompt and follow the steps in #27 (but be sure to enter the commands C: and then cd Users and finally cd GeorgePlant before doing the commands in #27), which would allow you to attempt to rename the file without the Windows environment running as an alternative to a Linux CD.
You've been helped by a 15 year old.
I've followed the directives of #27, and I can identify the problem file on the black screen. Incidentally, the extension is in fact .jpg
The bad news is that there are almost 300 files starting with Anderson, and I am not (at least at this point) willing to risk having to rename all of them.
Also much of the discussion after #27 is over my head, so I've held off doing anything further until I followed doing #27.
That said, now what?
as another thought, something you could try.
open a notepad and paste this in the white space
rename %1 newfile.jpg
then "save as" it in the folder with the picture in it as change.bat with "all files"(In the drop down box below it.). Then drag and drop the file onto the change.bat.
I totally agree with you about not wishing to tackle 300 files - it would be crazy. Unfortunately it is near impossible to identify the particular file using command prompt - unless anyone else can think of some way. You could try it using full file names but my guess is that you will end up back with "access denied". The hope was that using short file names would have circumvented this.
My view is to use a Linux Live CD because you will then have a fighting chance of identifying the particular file that has problems. It is not terribly difficult to do this and we can do a step-by-step if you wish. There are only two points where folk can stumble:
1. You have to burn the Live Linux CD onto the disk using "burn an image" feature (included with most burning software) - you don't just put the download onto a CD. If push comes to shove you can temporarily install a small freebie to do this.
2. When using the CD you have to ensure that the first boot drive is your CD/DVD drive. It might be already but as often as not it is the main C drive. You therefore have to go into BIOS to change the boot order.
So, that's about all I can suggest - let us know if you want to go that way.

I believe Derek meant "It is ***NOT*** terribly difficult to do this".
There is no doubt that you can recover your photos. It will just
take more effort than we thought when there were only a few.
The $7 Linux CD could be a good alternative to downloading
and burning the CD yourself. As I said, I obtained my Ubuntu
Linux disk for free by walking over to the university computing
department. I have 5 disks. They can be used as live CD as
Derek suggests. If it might be faster, I could mail one to you.

I'm most willing to part with either (or both) the oldest and the

that of Windows 8. They probably all work fine. If you want
one or two of these, e-mail me at jroot at freemars dot org.

At this point I'm going to try and get my hands on the photos that I originally scanned. If I can, then the problem(s) are solved.
Thank you for your efforts, everyone. Particular thanks to you,Jeff, for your willingness to send me one of your Linux CDs.
This has been a rewarding experience even though the 'problem' hasn't been solved. Thanks again.
Ooops, thanks for pointing out my most unfortunate typo - have corrected.
Sounds like a good plan - hope it works out for you.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
I have another idea that might fix this problem.
The problem appears to be that the full path, including
filename, of some of the files in a folder containing many
files are longer than 260 characters, making them too
long for Windows to access or rename. How did they
get that way? Two possibilities: Either they were saved
by a program which is not limited by the Windows limit,
or they were saved into a folder that had a short path,
and the path was later lengthened.
The solution might be to shorten the path. And there are
two possible ways to do so.
Either rename each of the folders in the path with shorter
names, or copy the folder containing the problem files to
a location closer to the root.
Then it should be possible to shorten the long filenames.
-- Jeff, in Minneapolis
As I read through all, I was about to add that copying the entire folder with the files in it directly to the root C: drive might shorten all file names enough to make them accessible. I now see that Jeff just basically added this at the end. It does have the advantage that if it works it will save a LOT of hassle with the minimum of work.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
Not sure how this will work on a local machine, but where I work we have this issue constantly when saving CAD files. The solution I tend to use is to map a drive letter to the folder that is too long.
for example if "C:\users\AWTL\.................................\Files\" was the offending folder, then id map a drive to that folder and it immediately shortens the path to something like
it happens so often that iv written some VBA that allows you to map a folder to an available drive letter, happy to send if you PM your email address.
as I said though, iv never tested this on a local machine, always have used a networked environment so not sure how relevant/useful this would be. i'll try it at home perhaps.
Not so sure our poster will still be watching as this post is over 2 years old.

Doh didn't realize that, just saw the thread on the top of one of the forums and decided to reply. Thanks,
I don't understand how this thread was even open at this time. That said, the original poster doesn't seem to be responding to the recent posts. I would say this is fruitless at this point.
For anyone researching similar issues, I found this problem popping up when archiving large folders with multiple layers of sub-folders to CDR or DVDR. Both those media are read only but With each layer of folders the string gets longer.
Windows 10 does allow a user to change the 255/260 character length. Google for it as there are many hits.

A ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Republican Devin Nunes is making it known that he intends to send "multiple referrals on a number of different crimes" to the Justice Department as he investigates possible misconduct within the DOJ and FBI.
In an interview with Breitbart News, Nunes said, "as of now, it'll be one criminal referral but with multiple referrals on a number of different crimes." Although he will likely be making more as he expects, "we will have some leakers in there for sure."
Nunes also spoke on the Mueller investigation as a reason this investigation was prompted, "We knew this was a joke from the beginning, and I've said as much for a long time. Basically from the time our report came out, which has been a year. But now, the real work begins. It's good to not have that sitting out there. But we have to now go on offense and track down all these dirty cops and bad players."
Nunes claims that he will have as many as 50 people under review, and that Attorney General William Barr will be forced to recognize the referrals. "There'll be things in there that cannot be ignored. There will be crimes … so they have to be dealt with," Nunes said.

thank you for being brave enough to go after corrupt dems have donated to your campaign & hope all who believe in our constitution honesty & ethics in our govt will also donate/you did the right thing when all odds were against you/so proud of you/stay strong
I agree wholeheartedly! This must not stand!! Thanks Congressman Nunes!!
Who ever has the nerve to get a investigation going, p,s put Trey Gowdy in charge. He would leave know rock unturned!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gowdy would be perfect for this as he is a pit-bull when he sees something illegal being done.
CONGRATULATIONS, Congressman Nunes, We need more good men like yourself to fight these horrendous people that STILL claim that there was COLLUSION. Schifty Schiff seems to not realize the "PARTY" is over and President and the people won. Now, we are coming for as many as possible, TRAITOROUS Dems! They all need to go to prison. Clapper, Brennan, Powers, Lynch, KELL-ERY HELLERY, Rice, Holder,Rosenstein, Baker, McCabe, Page, Mr.UglyStroyk, Orgs (2), Comey, and more. The Dems need to get to work and stop dwelling on the past, but work on every day by day agenda. They need to do something and get someone to pull their agenda (if they have one) together. Cortez didn't like it when her "Green Plan) was voted down. She needs to be taken down a peg or two. She's nasty!
I totally agree. I would like to see them get the big cheese (Obama). I have said all along the his plan was to destroy America and he almost succeeded.
I am glad someone is doing it. I would hope Graham would jump in there as he said he would. I am just Nunes can stand up to the dirty democrats. As well as Obama, Hillary, DOJ, FBI, and any corrupt democrats and republicans sitting on any committee!! He needs to put in a referral for Jeff Flake as well as Ryan!!!
and UNLIKE Adam bat shiff crazy, Nadler oinkings, Swalwell with forked TONGUE….Nunes must have a COLLECTION of FACTS to BURY these CRETINS!!! …. TIME to GET THE REST OF THE STORY OUT!!
It is about time! Hopefully Barr pursues all of those who have committed crimes during this fiasco.
David J. Stull
Let's hope someone has the balls to put these traitors/criminals on notice and sent to jail or else do like Mueller "give up Hillary or go to jail" Much like he did with Pres. Trumps people.
More than just an illegal coup – This crossed the line into a full blown criminal sedition conspiracy long ago – Let's not forget that all members of a conspiracy are liable for crimes and actions committed by others in furtherance of a conspiracy; and the call for actual violence from members of Congress, Media, and Hollywood in advancing the cause of overturning the election results.
Long over due.
[email protected]
We all now it's a crime to make false charges. So all of the Democrats who started that should have warrants against them. And since it was proven they did commit these crimes they all should serve at least 25yrs. And not in a Federal prison.
Mueller should have personally grilled TurdRUMP on his crimes. That thin shell covering his dishonest persona would have cracked easily.
ralph you are a idiot
What an ignorant thing to say.
Ralph, you're a typical liberal wing nut.
devilcrats party sticks together like ball of snakes like there father satan all his puppets going to lake of fire liars thieves traitors to america and better stop winds of war because all bets are off we wont take prisoners……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. pa alone washington our houses all snakes gone in minute,
The need and exigency exist to prevent making the rule of law a sham. Former president Obama, former attorney general Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton,current congressman Adam Schiff, James Comey, James Clapper, Maxine Waters, Lisa Paige, Bruce Ohrr and many others worked in concert with spies in a shill game to secure the 2016 presidential election for Hillary Clinton. Book'em Danno!
Execute those who have committed treason and/or high crimes against our government. They do not deserve to be housed in any place that taxpayers have to pay for.
I LOVE Devin Nunes. He is so brave after being under attack by Demorats. Did his job and continues to do so. Not in his district but will contribute to his re-election. Thank you all who voted for him in his disrtrict.
You are backing one of the FEW HONEST MEN in our do-nothing Congress.
Thank you Nunez, it's been a long wait, so glad to see this finally come to fruition. America is a truly great country, I am now glad I am a citizen and see justice happening.
It's about time the traitors are brought before the courts to answer for their scheme to unseat an elected president.
Only 50? Well I guess that's a start.
I say follow the Democrat/Socialist model of bringing in every possible person who might have some contact with the fake collusion charge then like the Dem/Soc plan run them through the wringer and break them financially when all of their money is gone then let them go . After all of the truly guilty parties are found then have a real kangroo court like Mueller did, those that are guilty throw the book at them (especially the Clinton Crime Family, Obama etc.
The "Democratic" Party and the media which overwhelmingly supports it has been dealing in wishful thinking rather than objective news reporting ever since Trump was nominated. This whole Mueller fiasco is simply a continuation of the same wailing and gnashing of teeth that characterized the left after the election. Don't they realize that the media in their wishful thinking (to impeach and/or imprison Trump) were the ones who caused this in the first place?
thank God for Nunes !!!!!!!!!!
You are a traitor and a Trump suck-up.
Trump, you and most Republicans are dirty bribe takers who are Russian assets.
Thank you for standing up for all of us who want the whole truth and those who have perpetuated the lies are caught and punished without delays which I'm sure those who are in this up to their collective noses will try and drag this out in the hopes President Trump is not re-elected in 2020.
Trump needs to order a Special Prosecutor be appointed and insist that the investigation be done investigative agencies not under the DOJ like NCIS or CIC or at least the Secret Service or US Marshals rather than the FBI.
That is the answer. While there is a prosecutor working on it, maybe we can get back to the issues that the American people want our elected servants to work on.
Mr. Nunes is a true American Hero. Ttis country owes him a debt of gratitude we can never repay. I have contributed to his campaign and will continue to do so. Thank you Devin, we are behind you 100%.
It is about time, that these crooks get the justice they deserve. They almost succeeded in destroying our country. I hope and pray that this will come to pass.
Good for you Mr Nunes, keep up the good work, you are what this country needs, Thank you
It is a dirty Democrat mess. The devil rules in Congrress. Schumer growing horns and Pelosi is getting a new broom and growing apinnochio nose.lol
Include the Muslim FRAUD who was the instigator of this CRIME/TREASON
Treason is a badge of honor for the Godless NAZI Commie liberal Racist Demoncrat Party and RINOs! The party of hate, hypocrisy, lies, deception, Fake News (Russian Collusion and Jussie M hoax) the list is endless! And the clueless minions that follow them!
Devin, be careful what you wish for, this administration holds the all time record for those indicted and convicted. No, wait, keep talking, like BabyT who constantly tells on himself.
Why do some of you on this site keep referring to liberals as Natzis and communists when it is your idiot people in Congress quoting Hitler in session? Don't get it twisted, some of you have no idea what these words mean, you heard them on Faux Fox, and think you know what they mean. Faux Fox is about as credible as "Entertainment Tonight" which is why BabyT and the maga red hat bogans love it. No educational value at all.
but the question is, Nana, can you dodge bullets ? Amerikan socialism will fail. The stupid will die.
As this investigation continues, may every hidden supporting cast member, be drawn out and prosecuted. Many layers of criminals here….may God help us to get every one of them. Every hand that touched this case need the same investigation that Trump went through.
charge them, fingerprint them, after you send some HONEST FBI agents to their houses at 4 AM.
Go "get em", Nunes, you are a patriot.
These are not your grandfather's Democrats
The Democrats' obstinate refusal to fund a physical barrier on our southern border is the starkest illustration yet that they are no longer a political party dedicated to the protection and prosperity of the United States. The party has been captured by cultural Marxists who are radically hostile to America's founding principles, its history, and its people. It's no exaggeration to recognize the reality that the Democratic Party is engaged in an ideological war against the historic American nation, which the party's members despise.
Post-Civil War Democrats fashioned themselves as champions of America's working classes and defenders the freedoms contained in the Bill of Rights. Those Democrats were patriotic and believed that while the founders' promise had yet to be fully realized, their ideals of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" were profound and sacred truths.
That all changed beginning with the cultural revolution of the 1960s, as cultural Marxists began their long march to take over America's universities, media, courts, and popular culture. These Democrats fancied themselves revolutionaries who believed that because of its flaws, America was irredeemable. Their motto was "tear it all down." While tattered remnants of those old-style Democrats survive on the margins, they are no longer an animating force within the party.
If you think I exaggerate, consider how the Democrats turned their backs on labor unions, once the surest path to the middle class for men and women who worked with their hands and backs. The Dems threw unions under the bus in favor of radical environmentalists who oppose coal mining, oil drilling, and pipelines. Those high-paying jobs were sacrificed by the Democrats to the false god of global warming. The jobs and fossil fuel production didn't vanish, mind you – they just moved overseas, beyond the reach of American workers.
At the same time, millions of high-paying manufacturing jobs were shipped offshore to appease the gods of globalism. Even now, the Dems are all on board with their Tech Titan masters in Silicon Valley as they scheme to put millions of professional drivers out of work with self-driving trucks. Union workers, who had been faithful and committed Democratic Party supporters, were left out in the cold until Trump came along and championed their interests.
Committed civil libertarians were also jettisoned by the Democrats. Once champions of free speech, the Dems now work in myriad ways on college campuses, in popular culture, and on social media to censor opposing points of view, often through violence and intimidation.
Second Amendment rights are likewise under constant assault from the Democrats, who know that an unarmed, docile populace is a prerequisite for state control. And Fourth Amendment rights to privacy have been so violated as to now be rights in name only.
The Dems have filled the void created by the abandonment of these constituencies and once cherished beliefs with a toxic stew of grievance and identity politics. They've cobbled together a coalition of people who believe that government is their salvation and that any shortfall of their own is the fault of an oppressive, bigoted America.
Where once they believed in equal rights, they now push racial preferences and quotas. Where once they believed in free enterprise and market capitalism, they now openly advocate socialism. Belief in strong, traditional families has been replaced by advocacy of redefining marriage and men in women's sports and bathrooms. Once antiwar, they now openly advocate for endless, globalist wars of no discernible national interest for America's young men and women to fight and die in.
The problem with all this is that America is still marginally a traditionally conservative nation, and none of these leftist policies enjoys majority support outside liberal coastal and big-city bastions, so the new Democrats are pretending desperately to be the Democrats of old just long enough to complete the transformation of the nation to fit their Marxist ideology.
The way Democrats mean to complete the transformation is through mass immigration – both legal and illegal. They have been importing a new electorate that has little history, understanding, or appreciation of free enterprise and civil rights. These new voters are more concerned with day-to-day economic survival than "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" – ironically because of the very socialist governments they are fleeing.
This is the reason why the Democrats are so adamantly opposed to a physical barrier on the border – not because they believe that it doesn't work, but because they know that it does.
Devin .. if Trump ever had a hemmoroidectomy, you head would have to be removed first. May God forgive you.

The Elf Queen measures 33mm to her eyes if she was standing up straight with her heels to the ground. She is obviously a little taller in this pose as she is on her tippy toes on top of the smoke. She comes in 2 pieces and is cast in fine pewter. She will make a great addition to most 32mm miniature collection.
Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.

Why People Want Govt Jobs?
Hello Friends, welcome to another blog of sarkarikaam. In today's post, we are going to discuss why people want govt jobs?
For some individuals from the center pay gathering, there has been one never-ending issue – regardless of whether to join a private occupation or a govt work. In a previous couple of decades, there had been a race for private employment when contrasted with government occupations. Notwithstanding, now individuals lean toward working for the govt.
Why People Want Govt Jobs. Here is the reason.
Recession proof
In private job people have to focus only work if work isn't done then you have to complete till the night until work is not done. Moreover, recessions do not affect the government organizations at all. In other words, people do not stop getting their salaries when they work in one of the government jobs and in a private job, there is no guarantee for your salary. In fact, you would never lose your job when you work for the government since the government jobs are stable.
When you take up these jobs, you can without much of a stretch get promoted to the next post. In a govt job, the more the number of years you serve the legislature, the higher are your odds of getting an advancement. Clearly, this could work out to be a favorable position and in addition a disservice since somebody, who is better than expected, will most likely be unable to become quicker than his normal associates.
Perks and benefits
In these jobs, one can get promotions as well as retirement benefits. Additionally, you can get paid get-aways to a position of your decision when you work for the govt job. Your compensation would likewise increment with no relationship to your execution when you work in a govt job. You would likewise naturally remain to get regard when you are working for the legislature when contrasted with when you work in private employment. There are no strict guidelines while working in the govt job. You can go to your office even somewhat later and no one would address you. In the private part, strict principles are watched and individuals need to go to the workplace on time.
Child and dependent care
There are many different schemes for the child. You can also pass the job to your kid when retire or grow old. This is the benefit of govt jobs that are not available in private jobs. This is why most people want government jobs as compared to private jobs.
Final Words.
I hope now you know Why People Want Govt Jobs. So these all the benefits of govt jobs that are not in private jobs.

Moroccan photographer Zara Samiry celebrates the women who participate in the traditional horseback riding in Morocco. James Estrin of the New York Times wrote an article this past May about Samiry and her photo-project focusing on the same troupes of women that I plan on doing my research with. Check out the article at: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/05/27/a-female-fantasia-in-morocco//
While the women riders get attention from the media, actually finding them in real time is a bit of a challenge. There are not many groups around Fez, so I find myself cold-calling or cold-emailing some of these ladies so I can meet up with them later in the year.
This past week was furititous because I connected with one of the regional presidents of the male fantasia troupes. In Morocco, the way you get around is by not what you know, but who you know and who they know and so on. While sometimes this can be a bit time consuming, it is fun whenever you meet a person who participates in the fantasia because they are so enthusiastic and want to talk for hours and show you pictures and the latest videos of the fantasia groups. It's like whenever you run into a fellow-horse person, their passion shines through. Hopefully more to come in the following weeks!

This plucky young comedic musician and songwriter has appeared on Uke Planet before and I suspect will continue to do so with his bold, witty and upbeat releases. As he matures his music is seasoning with him as is evident in this, his second album. By the time Isaac's next CD hits my desk however I am going to have to tell myself there must come a point that such a popular and prolific character in the ukulele world I can no longer lazily describe as young.
This nine track album kicks off with Adolescent Syndrome Disorder which informs us the studio quality of this CD is pretty sharp. It courts thoughts of the West End with swirling strings and a crooning voice before that's thrown out of the proverbial window as the frantic uke strumming kicks in, the tempo scampers on and the lyrics indulge themselves in a fun level of silliness right down to the inclusion of a few bars of Wheatus. Ah yes, we're in familiar Isaac territory. Further on Oppression carries that same upbeat fun although with a much more politically sensitive topic. And there's a sign IHD is ripening, his lyrical content this time around stacked with political and social commentary and stance.
The music does however regularly depart from Isaac's uptempo trademark, Fake Glasses being a Uke Planet favourite, a flurry of piano blues scales with light parodic angst of such things being worn in the name of fashion. "Fake hearing aids" though? Morrissey, Top Of The Pops 1984. Lordy, how pedantic of me! Seriously though, the whole thing is effectively a poem worthy of John Hegley himself, brilliantly performed over a cleverly suitable musical backdrop.
The album draws to a close with the reggae sounds of Reheb, a tongue in cheek homage to the gentrification of his home town and Lamdton Worm, the uke over-driven complete with rock vocals and kazoo solo. It reminds me a little of The Kings Blues.
I could argue that this album is mostly about the lyrics, something that has always being strong in Isaac's songs. Indeed most of these tracks could be delivered to rapturous applause at a poetry slam of your choice, all with just the right amount of wit and comment. But I actually think the music does add more, it doesn't take itself too seriously and adds a fun element to soundscape. Isaac is clearly getting better all the time, building on the natural confident comedic spark he was born with and I can see nothing but success for this guy as his career blossoms. This is the best yet but I wager you a groat the next one is even better.
You'll find Isaac on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Bandcamp (where you can stream it, buy the download or buy the CD… he's got you covered).

You need to rely on yourself if you want acne help. Part of this is empowering yourself with the proper knowledge about the causes and the cures for acne. If you want help, the first thing you need to do is know the myths about acne.
The first myth is that acne is caused by bad hygiene. This myth might lead you to believe that to get acne help, you ought to wash your skin roughly and a lot of times in the day. If you do this, however, you can actually make your acne worse.
The truth is that dirt and oils on the surface of your skin do not cause acne. Excess skin grease, dead skin, and a buildup of dirt on your skin sure can look gross, but there is no need to remove all of that gunk by scrubbing your face. It can actually make your acne worse to go at your skin with heavy-duty washing and rubbing.
Remember the Basics
If you want to ax your acne, the best thing you can do to get acne help is wash your face twice a day with a mild soap, making sure to be very gentle. Pat it dry, don't be too abrasive with the towel, and then apply your acne treatment medication.
One more thing you don't want to do: don't just sit back and expect acne to run its course. It's a fact that there is acne help out there and your acne can be cleaned up. Dermatologists can direct you to the proper medicines if the simple approach above, just washing and patting dry your face, does not seem to work.
Since so many excellent products (including my recommendation below) are on the market today, it makes no sense to sit back and suffer through acne, risking bad scars for the rest of your life.
The Acne Benefits of a Proper Diet
Another thing you can do in the meantime to save yourself from acne is to eat right. It is a myth that particular foods in your diet can bring on acne. There's been tons of scientific research that shows there is no connection between acne and certain foods, such chocolate, french fries, pizza, peanuts, and soda.
If your dermatologist or other doctor recommends that you steer clear of certain foods that may cause your acne, then listen to them and avoid those foods. However, your best way to find acne help in your kitchen is to just eat a sensible, balanced diet made up of all sorts of healthy foods.
Everybody has heard this last myth: that stress causes your skin to break out. But as doctors and scientists have proven over and over, the day-to-day, normal stress that you get from homework, sports, and other typical activities does not have any significant effect on your skin.
On the other hand, if you experience very severe stress that you get medical help and medication for, your treatment drugs may actually be causing your acne as a side effect.
In this case, your best acne help is not to stop taking the drugs on your own. Instead, talk with your doctor to see if your breakouts are from the prescription medication you are taking for stress or depression.
Acne is not just a cosmetic disease. Sure, acne may not seriously affect the way you look and it may not be a serious threat to your physical wellbeing. But it sure can end up causing permanent physical scars on you face and on your feelings. So get some acne help by avoiding these acne myths.

It seems like the whole town has shut down again due to blizzard conditions today.
School was cancelled. A number of businesses closed their doors early for the day. The Polar Fest kick off took a hit, as the Grand Lighting Ceremony of King Isbit's Royal Courtyard was moved to Saturday due to the unfavorable weather. Becker County snow plows even had to take a break after 10 hours of clearing the the blowing snow from the roads.
The Becker County Highway Department announced they would stop plowing county roads at 2 p.m. today and start back up again at 3 a.m. Friday. As for the Minnesota Department of Transportation, they kept on trucking, though they put out a no travel advisory for five surrounding counties, including Big Stone, Clay, Stevens, Traverse and Wilkin. The department also put out a no travel advisory on Interstate 94 between Fergus Falls and Moorhead
The extreme winter weather has put quite a damper on a number of activities, with the Tribune reporting 257 weather announcements as of Thursday afternoon.
Detroit Lakes Superintendent Doug Froke said the snow days mean there will now be school on March 18 and April 22, which are built-in bad weather makeup days. The last day of school will also be pushed to Friday, May 24; however, whether those days become teacher inservice days or school days will be a decision the school board will discuss in its upcoming meeting.
Even though students had a snow day and many others around town were sent home because of the weather, there wasn't much fun to be had. The cold that came along with the snow made it difficult to do much outside.
Detroit Mountain even announced on Facebook that it would close down Thursday and Friday: "Another Cold & Windy couple days scheduled again, and yes...we know there is fresh snow falling, but we tried that on Monday and the cold temps won...we will be closed this Thursday and Friday. Saturday & Sunday we will be open regular hours."
Polar Fest festivities were expected to kick off today with a Grand Lighting Ceremony of King Isbit's Throne down by the pavillion, but the majority of the ceremony has been cancelled. The Royal Courtyard will be lit tonight, but the ceremony has been moved to Saturday.
Not many people want to be out and about, even ones who enjoy the winter. Lowell Seaberg, owner of Seaberg Power Sports says his business has been doing well this season, selling a lot of the winter inventory they haven't sold in years past. He says he's seen a slight increase in sales, but the frigid temps are still keeping people from really enjoying the snow.
"It's been too much bitter cold...When it warms up again, I think people will be out enjoying the snow," he said. "There's some people that look forward to snow, but I don't think there's anyone who looks forward to the bitter cold."
Some places don't have the option to close, though, like Essentia Health's Emergency Room. Tom Alinder, the emergency department manager at Essentia, said there is never a time when the weather would be so bad they would shut their doors; though, in this storm, they aren't able to let patients leave, once they are checked in.
"We've kind of put plans in place, so we can provide support and hospitality for the patients and or family that are remaining in the hospital," he said.
Alinder says during storms like these they often see an influx of patients in the first couple of hours and then their intake numbers drop off. He says they'll likely see a slow flow of patients coming in throughout the storm, and their door will always be open for newcomers.
"The big part is we want people to be safe in their homes wherever they're at. If they need emergency care, please come. That's what we're here for," he said, adding, "Stay safe. Stay warm. And avoid unnecessary travel."

The damage was sustained during Holland's match against Sweden on Oct 12 and, although initial fears that Kuyt could miss the entire season quickly subsided, his rehabilitation was still expected to take at least a month.
"Dirk Kuyt is making incredible progress," said Hodgson. "He shouldn't be as far advanced as he is with his ankle but he's looking good. I don't think he'll be fit for the weekend [Bolton away] but maybe the weekend after. With Glen Johnson it will be touch and go for the weekend."
Chelsea's Frank Lampard is also expected to be available for the Liverpool match following his return to training this week after groin surgery.
Lampard is unlikely to be risked against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, but is hoping to at least play some part of the Champions League match against Spartak Moscow on Wednesday.
Chelsea were visited at their Cobham training ground on Thursday by Guus Hiddink, their 2009 FA Cup-winning manager. "I'm very impressed by the way they've performed this year and last year – it is very stable and it's good to see," said Hiddink.
The Dutchman was popular among the Chelsea players and is a long-time friend of Ancelotti, his successor as manager. "What I tried to do was to stabilise the performances, it was up and down, good and bad, but I tried to do it in a short time," said Hiddink. "I'm proud of that and that we achieved."

3rd July 2018
Dear Parents and Carers,
Principal's Letter – July 2018
It is hard to believe that we now have less than four weeks left before the summer holidays.
Our Summer Fair was a huge success and I would like to extend everyone's thanks to the PTA who, as always, did an amazing job at organising and running the event. Thank you to staff who supported the day and ran stalls and thank you to all of you for attending and making it a wonderful community event. As soon as we have details of the money raised we will let everyone know.
We have had high excitement in the last week or so as our pond has finally come back to life! Classes have been outside pond dipping, classifying all the creatures they have found and exhibiting an incredible sense of awe and wonder as they have discovered more and more living creatures. We must thank Mr Goldsmith who has brought the pond back to life for us, extended the learning area around it and provided seating in the form of railway sleepers so the children can sit and write down their findings.
We have a wonderful new library, installed where the ICT suite was located.
Mr Goldsmith headed up the coordination of this project and what an amazing job he has done.
Children and staff have been so excited by its appearance and Mary Taylor, our parent governor, has been very busy helping Mrs Taylor, Mrs Cashmore and the children relocate our books so the library is ready to use. Our computers will be relocated to classrooms.
Today the children have met their new teachers and we are looking forward to two more transition sessions before the end of term. We have some changes to staff for September and sadly will be saying goodbye to some very special people.
Mr Higgs is leaving us to pursue a career as a student at Reading University! Mr Higgs is realising his ambition of returning to study to achieve his Masters in Education. We wish him well and secretly hope that he will find it far too boring and come back to us at Hartley!
After starting her career at Hartley as an NQT 6 years ago, Miss Balrow has decided it is time to take up a new challenge at a school in Rochester. We all wish her well and will miss her very much!
Miss Monk has decided that for now she would like a break from teaching. Miss Monk is getting married in August and we wish her well.
Mrs Chapman is moving on to enjoy a well-earned retirement and spend time with her grandchildren. Mrs Chapman has worked at Hartley for over 21 years and has been a wonderful support to both children and staff. We are very sad to see Mrs Chapman leave us but also very happy for her that finally she gets to have some time with her family.
I know that you will join me in wishing all of our staff who are leaving the best of luck and offer a huge thank you for all that they have done to make our school a happy, vibrant and nurturing setting. They will all be missed.
From September, we welcome Miss Chawner who will be teaching in Year 1. We also welcome Miss Hassett who is returning to us in September as a teacher! We are all very excited for Miss Hassett who is a valued member of staff and who will be an amazing member of the teaching team.
I have mentioned many times about the financial challenges we have to face in schools at the moment and we are no exception. We have ongoing budget cuts to make and face these with positive resolve to ensure we maintain the outstanding provision we pride ourselves on.
An impact of these cuts is that Mrs Lambourne will be returning to class teaching – whilst continuing in her Vice Principal role. Mrs Lambourne will be joining the Year 5 team for next year and will have met her class today.
We still have some exciting events to look forward to; these include Sports Day (Monday 23rd July), end of year discos (Tuesday 24th July) and the Year 6 production (Tuesday 17th/Wednesday 18th July) and Leavers' Celebration (Tuesday 24th July). The next few weeks will fly by so I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your ongoing support and hope you are all enjoying the wonderful summer weather – fingers crossed it stays for August!
Kind regards,
Mrs S Goosani

94th Artist Meeting
Tra Sacro e Profano - Cari Privitera
The Art Discussion Group (ADG) will be holding its 94th meeting on Tuesday 3rd May at 19.00 hrs at MISCO Training Centre (first floor on right) in Fino Showrooms in Notabile Road Mriehel. Cari Privitera (1971- ) who is exhibiting at Cavalieri Hotel (6th May - 6th June, 2011) is our guest artist for May.
Cari Privitera is a multifaceted diamond, an artist with considerable talent: decorator, painter, sculptor and restorer. Her classical and academic background enhances her graphic and pictorial powers and she exploits such advantage with bravura and virtuosity.
She loves the old masters and her eclectic nature nourished by various influences yearns for excellence in painting masterpieces not as a mere academic exercise or for pure interpretation but to prove to herself and to others her great gifts in design and painting. Her remote Surrealist past with symbolic undertones has gradually faded into a more physical and sensual naturalism – a personal concept and vision of life around her. In a power point presentation Cari Privitera will show the actual collection being presented at Cavalieri Hotel and will answer any question from the floor and expand about technique.
Cari Privitera was born in Catania, in 1971. In her infancy her family moved house to Germany and she lived there for seven years. After her return to Sicily she attended art schools and finally qualified as a 'Maestro d'arte in architettura ed arredamento' and became 'Decoratrice pittorica' in the Accademia di Belle Arte of Catania. For several years she worked at a restoration laboratory for art objects that gave her the chance of becoming an art connoisseur of antiques and at the same time falling madly in love with th
e subject. She painted with gusto for a long period and the necessity to create the third dimension opened wide the possibility of experimenting with sculpture.
She applied her knowledge by teaching sculpture through projects and courses she organized in different schools opening laboratories or workshops for differently abled and less gifted students. She presently lives in Via Grande near Acireale in open countryside in the shadow of ice capped Etna.
Cari Privitera will arrive in Malta on Monday 2nd May 2011 and will be staying at Cavalieri Hotel till Saturday 7th May 2011.

Paddy and Jimmy Kenniff were cattle-duffers, pony-pinchers and general rabble rousers. They were the last of the great Australian bushrangers. Roaming the land fully armed and living in caves in country Queensland, in the early 1900s. They would come undone due to the brutal murders of an innocent copper, Constable George Doyle, and a bullying station manager, Albert Dahlke. The story of the Kenniff brothers is one of adventure and tragedy as well as being an intriguing murder mystery.
In Sydney in the late 1940's, a short, bespectacled, great-grandmother named Caroline Grills became an unlikely serial killer. Caroline loved making cakes, biscuits and cups of tea for her relatives and especially loved seeming like an angel by helping them when they were ill…from the thallium she was poisoning them with.
