Technical difficulties indeed - Photoshop crashed while I was polishing off my pencils. (Memo to self- hit command-S more often). So rather than delaying Monday's strip, which was already done, I'm going to go back and finish Sunday's later today.
Update: As promised, it's up. As a sidebar, today begins a long uninterrupted run of paying sponsors. That's good news, of course, but I'm interested to see what effect it will have on my tendency to be late on strips (even without technical difficulties). The going theory is that it will make me an honest man. Let's see!
We recently got a copy of a mailing by Whatcom County, WA that went out to tens of thousands of households. They're pushing library cards, something we support, and when they asked if they could use an Unshelved strip to help make a point about reading, we of course said yes. And when they asked how much, we said "your money's no good here."
It looks great.
So here's our offer. We've got over two thousand strips about libraries and the things that go on there. Please use them to promote your library, school, or other noncommercial reading-friendly cause. If you have questions about usage, or if you need a high-resolution version suitable for printing, just mail us.
And heck, if you are overwhelmed with gratitude you can always buy a book.
Update: I edited this post last night, clarifying the offer. I also alluded to an ongoing debate Gene and I are having about Creative Commons.
No one knows more about graphic novels than that one guy at my local comic shop, the one who doesn't date much. But next to him, it's our good friends at Diamond, the #1 distributor of comics & graphic novels in the world. They produce a handy publication called Diamond Bookshelf, chock full of news, reviews, and other resources helpful to librarians, teachers, and others wading through the colorful but chaotic sea of graphic novel possibilities.

During Week 23 I hiked the second half of Vermont – finishing my 12th state, crossing over the "500 miles to go" mark, and entering into New Hampshire, my next-to-last state. Unexpectedly, this proved to be a somewhat emotional benchmark or accomplishment. I have always anticipated the White Mountains of New Hampshire to be both a special, significant attraction as well as a formidable hurdle. It was so far from the southern Appalachian mountains it was never something that was easy to focus. But now, I was here. Realizing the distance travelled to reach this point (and the fact that this 2,190 mile journey might be realized) caused me a sense of accomplishment AND excitement for the final two states (yet recognizing that New Hampshire and Maine still contained over 400 miles of challenging hiking).
Except for Mt. Killington, this week did not feature as dramatic hiking as the first half of Vermont. That said, Killington was probably the highlight of the Green Mountain State. The day before the climb up the east coast's largest ski resort mountain, was a pleasant hike featuring some wonderful mountain streams and ponds, including Little Rock Pond.
The climb up Killington was challenging but the trail traversed the mountain making the ascent more manageable. The day was beautiful. After setting up camp just below the summit a number of us took our stoves and dinner to the summit for our evening meal and sunset. It was exceptional because it was so clear. I scrambled back up early the next morning for the sunrise as well.
From Killington I descended towards the road to Rutland, Vermont and made my way to the Inn at the Long Trail for resupply and a zero day – primarily so I could watch the final round of the Open Championship. A number of hikers familiar to me were there and we enjoyed an evening at the pub on site where there was live Irish music. The following day was filled with rain, but I was able to watch the entire coverage of the golf tournament.
From there, on Monday, a group of us hiked 21 miles during a day of clouds and heavy rain. We concluded at a free "barn hostel" (the owner was at the Irish pub and invited us to stay) located right on the trail, where we were able to order pizza, which was a nice treat after a very wet day. It rained so much I couldn't get my phone/camera to work (because of the need to "swipe" and the presence of rain on the phone's case) – there were few special views/sites (especially due to the weather), however, earlier we did go by an impressive "Thundering Falls."
After our stay at the barn hostel, we had another fairly uneventful day. The weather cleared and the day was beautiful. I fell behind the group after hanging out with some southbound thru-hikers at a shelter where we had stopped for lunch.
Arriving in West Hartford, I crossed the White River and finished the day at another private "hostel," next to the river. We took a swim, some jumped off the bridge into the river, and we were able to order Chinese food.[It is worthy to note that the volume of thru-hikers who started at Katahdin about two months earlier has increased considerably. It's been fun to talk with them and compare notes and exchange tips and recommendations. We were told that a large northbound "bubble" and the southbound "bubble" was converging right about this time. (Keep in mind, while we are running into the southbound bubble, the number of thru-hikers leaving Katahdin and attempting a southbound hike is only about 10% of the total number of the year's thru-hikers.)].
Like the two previous days, the last day in Vermont was relatively easy and uneventful hiking as we climbed out of White River (passed under I-89) – and after sometime in the woods – hiked into Norwich, VT, walked under I-91, and then crossed the Connecticut River into Hanover, NH. This involved a 2 and ½ mile road walk, although we were treated to trail magic at the driveways of some of the homes in Norwich. We got to Hanover before the rain came. A large group of hikers who had been together the last few days enjoyed lunch and hiker "freebies" offered by some of the town's merchants (free pizza and free donut). While awaiting a bus to take me to my motel a local woman offered to take me around town for resupply and then drop me at the motel – a little more trail magic.
While the final two days in Vermont were unspectacular from a hiking perspective and the weather both days was poor, Vermont proved to be a wonderful state for hiking the Appalachian Trail – well-designed trails, well-maintained trails, wonderful earthen and pine-needle paths underfoot (with few rocks), beautiful weather, few bugs, good times with hiker friends, and great scenery, including sunrise/sunsets, views from mountain tops like Bromley, Stratton and Killington and ponds like Little Rock Pond and Stratton Pond – oh Vermont!

I mentioned way back last year (I get to use that joke at least once!) that I was knitting some socks. Boy did they take me a long time! [For what its worth, I would have finished way earlier had the Mexican security agents bothered to read the TSA guidelines and realized that knitting needles are NOT fireworks nor dangerous weapons, but are specifically exempt from being confiscated :(] Anyways, these little guys were worth it. And they've confirmed their worth by surviving their first bout with the washing machine! So, I'm doubly glad. I about had a heart attack when I realized I washed them before I took a picture to prove they existed.
I wanted to make socks precisely because I've heard that they are very hard to make. If I were a bug, I'd have totally been killed by that giant buzzing neon light by now. What I learned is that socks are indeed a huge pain to make, but not so much because of complicated knitting patterns, but because they take forever. Especially when you decide to go against the directions and make them calf high (which on my chunky German calves, still don't make it very high. I forgot to measure the hypotenuse!) And I didn't even make them with the smallest needles possible! (Which would only have increased the time).
Anyway, here they are in all their glory, completed using 4 double point needles, as you can see in the first picture. I think the self-striping yarn is pretty nifty.
Oh, and if you're curious how I, a self taught knitter, figured out how to "turn the gusset" and "graft the toe" with reasonable success on the first try, I give all credit to this lady on youtube, who, with her charming British accent, can take you step by step through a whole sock pattern and lay it out easy-peasy. And her voice lowers your blood pressure – if you don't fall asleep first!
Have you ever knitted socks? Have you ever gotten something unlawfully confiscated by the TSA and almost cried like a baby? Please don't say its just me on both counts!

I will have to agree with my colleagues that mainframe, by its very nature, is a more secure computing environment than a distributed computing environment. I would add more but I think the 8 responses before mine pretty well summed up the conclusions haha.
Tamer, interesting perspective and I agree it's important to have the fundamental understanding. Shared resources are critical in the review.
I think the necessity of availablity of data is often times forgotten while the confidentiality and integrity are more often focused on rather than the A in the CIA triad. Availability is absolutely critical and should always be top of mind when analyzing.
Said I completely agree with the others it was a good idea to bring to the forefront some of the limitations or challenges they bring to the table when used. That being said, I think we can all agree that even with the few limitations or disadvantages there's no question why relational databases are so widely used today.
Ian, interesting perspectives on the recommended controls you brought up. I definitely agree with capacity management. Cloud computing may also address server limitations but opens up an entirely different list of risks, however, off the top of my head I can't seem to come up with an alternative.
It may not be the responsibility, however, I believe it is best practice to collaborate and discuss action plans that other's may have used to address similar findings. Any insight that can be provided can bring a huge amount of value to the client which should certainly be a part of goal if you would like repeat business from said client.
I agree. Intimate knowledge of key vertical industries can be a huge help and should be leveraged more.

I agree with Deepali's sentiments here.

The transition process at St. Anne's is in full swing, and we have moved into the next phase! On February 13, the Vestry appointed a committee to conduct a self-study to determine the particular needs and desires of the congregation going forward. The goal of the study is to create a parish profile, an accurate picture of St. Anne's and a sense of where the congregation is heading. The work will be used to help the Search Committee (not yet selected) to recruit and select the best candidates to be our new permanent rector. Read the charge from the Vestry.
The Profile Committee will engage with the entire Parish to gather input and feedback. Watch the bulletin, eBlast, and other communications about these exciting opportunities.

Almond Allergy Symptoms
Almonds and other tree nuts are great sources of nutrients, but for some people they can also cause allergic reactions that range from a mild rash to severe breathing difficulties. Such reactions typically occur within minutes to 2 hours after eating. Though outgrowing allergies is certainly possible, at least one study suggests that the odds favor persistence when it comes to tree nut allergies. If you are allergic to almonds, the more you know about your symptoms, the better you'll be able to partner with your physician and discuss your care.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Skin and Mouth
Symptoms involving the skin are the most typical reactions to food allergy that come to medical attention. These include hives or other types of itchy rashes and typically appear within an hour of exposure. Symptoms affecting the mouth are sometimes referred to as the oral allergy syndrome. The mouth and/or throat may feel itchy or tingly, and the tongue may also swell. These symptoms usually appear 5 to 10 minutes after eating an almond and typically occur in people who are also allergic to birch tree pollen. Such symptoms typically do not progress beyond the mouth. However, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, about 9 percent of patients may also have systemic symptoms, and about 2 percent may also experience anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that can be fatal.
Respiratory Tract and Gastrointestinal Systems
Respiratory tract symptoms typically include a stuffy, runny and/or itchy nose and may also involve sneezing. In children, tree nut allergies are also often associated with asthma, which can involve coughing and shortness of breath. Gastrointestinal symptoms typically include stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea. These symptoms usually occur soon after eating tree nuts.
Anaphylaxis is a serious reaction that can be associated with allergy to tree nuts and peanuts. It can affect a person's breathing as well as circulation. Symptoms typically occur within a few minutes to a few hours of exposure and may include throat tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, low blood pressure, dizziness and loss of consciousness. Without immediate medical treatment, anaphylaxis can be fatal.
Warnings and Precautions
If you are allergic to almonds, consider avoiding all tree nuts because of potential cross-reactivity. Read food labels carefully, keeping in mind that manufacturers of nut-flavored alcoholic beverages are not required to include nuts in ingredient lists.
Anaphylaxis requires immediate emergency care. According to guidelines published in the January 2011 issue of "Nutrition Research," when confronted with an anaphylactic reaction, a person should try to remove the trigger if possible but also call 911. If using an epinephrine autoinjector, or EpiPen, administer epinephrine via the thigh muscle, following the manufacturer's instructions, prior to visiting the ER.

Earlier in the year, at the suggestion of a friend who is a prolific reader and writer, I joined Twitter so I might follow his thoughts on matters of interest. You can imagine my son's surprise when after suggesting I get a twitter account so I could "keep up" with him, I told him I had had one for quite some time. It probably shocked him to know that his archaic mother wasn't completely in the dark ages. Of course, I never check my twitter account as it all comes directly onto my facebook page.
But what has been so interesting are all the notifications I've received from people "following" me. People I don't know. People who don't know me! I received another one just moments ago. And before I get all puffed up about it, this fellow is also following some 487 other poor souls as well. What's up with all of this? I've never "twittered" the first thought! So what are they "following," for crying out loud? It's a little silly if you ask me.
It's also a little scary, because in a way, I think it speaks loudly of our society. We blindly follow that which we do not know as well as that which is going nowhere: the most recent fad; the loudest voice; the newest "prophet." But the truth is that there is one Person and one Person only whom we should follow. His name is Jesus. In fact, He demands it. No less that 18 times in the four gospels do we hear Him say, "Follow ME." And within that context, and that context alone, we are to follow after those things which make for peace and that which is good. We are to follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness. We are to follow in His steps. The question might even be asked, "Would Jesus tweet?" Somehow I think He would. The name "Christian" ("little Christ") was given to believers in Antioch (Acts 11:26) because people saw in them the Christ they followed.
But 2 Timothy 4:3-5a speaks a strong word of warning to all this "following." Paul writes, For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to right teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever they want to hear. They will reject the truth and follow strange myths. But you, keep your head...
Sounds like a good rule to "follow," does it not?
Just an ordinary moment...
God so often reveals Himself to us in the ordinary day-to-day experiences of life. Yet we miss Him. These entries are to encourage us to look for Him, find Him, and worship Him. It's my prayer that my ordinary moments would spur you to look for your own.

Further Forgiving
Once you have learned to forgive those around you, you must also learn to forgive yourself. Some of you may think, "well, I'm not angry at myself at all." If you have genuinely forgiven yourself already, then that's fantastic, but if something at the back of your mind is still causing feelings of disappointment, shame, embarrassment, regret, remorse, hopelessness, guilt and sadness, that is a sign that you most likely have unresolved issues with yourself.
The act of not forgiving is itself a limiting condition; it is a roadblock that only you can tear down and remove. If you refuse to forgive yourself for past mistakes and misdeeds, you will never feel that you deserve more than what you have now. This applies not just to wealth (general abundance) but also to other things like happy personal relationships, health, job, etc.
How can you improve your ability to forgive people and yourself? We must remember that slights and grudges arise primarily because of our own judgment of people and their actions; it is judgment toward others and ourselves that ignites anger and rage. We MUST be willing to let go of those judgments toward the past behaviors of others and ourselves, and if you relinquish your hold of your personal judgment, forgiveness will come more easily. Once you let go of your initial personal judgment, you will also begin to see motivations to forgive.
Non-forgiveness will not bring you peace of mind at all due to resentment regularly resurfacing and this is not helpful in developing a more positive mindset; this can become a simple motivation for forgiving more easily in the future. For those who have suffered many great and genuine injustices in the past, this information may be hard to comprehend and apply to your way of thinking and feeling.
Think of it like this: the past is the past and what's done is done; you can't change what has already happened, you can only change the way you feel about it now. Try writing a nicely worded letter or email explaining to someone how you feel in response to their past actions, write at the end "Even though your actions may have caused me to feel this way and you may not have done it on purpose, I sincerely forgive you because we all make mistakes" and then don't read their response until you are in a stronger, positively impenetrable state of mind that has already TRULY let your judgment of your own past behavior and their past behavior go; simply because the person may become defensive and attack your feelings and all you truly need to forgive him or her is to let that person know how he or she has made you feel so that you can release those negative emotional thoughts and gain peace of mind.
Holding grudges and resentment towards others takes a lot more energy; dwelling in the realm of negativity takes double the energy and effort! So when it's all said and done, you really are just wasting valuable energy on something that you cannot do anything about anymore and valuable energy that could be used for motivating yourself toward more positive things.
It's good to learn from your past mistakes but the learning process does not require holding onto grudges or resentment. You may feel that holding onto the resentment is a good reminder to avoid certain kinds of people but it's NOT. Resentment is not positive or transformative; in fact, it is negative and counter-productive.
Learn to forgive yourself, everyone and everything and the last remnants of anger and resentment will begin to disappear, making it MUCH more possible for you to form happier and more positive thoughts and emotions to manifest the life you truly desire.
"The past does not define the future, we do." — Clark Graham
DON'T let what you can't change in your history hold you back — FORGIVE COMPLETELY!!!!
Up to this point we have been focused on how your mind and emotions create the reality you experience but this has simply been to spark the mental motivation and inspiration needed to physically act; without the proper positive attitude for mental motivation and inspiration, changes in physical behavior are less likely to stick around!

The Workers' Compensation Agency is undertaking a major replacement of its data system and the Magistrate docket functions presently in the existing system will be transferred to the Board of Magistrates case management system which will eventually be generating hearing notices as needed. The date for the transfer has not been fixed as of this time. To avoid costly programming of the old data system to accommodate the recent changes in the Administrative Hearing Rules, the existing standard language in the pretrial notices will not be updated. The parties should be aware that their obligations under the new rules may be different than past rule and practice.
It is hereby ordered that the language on all acknowledgement and notice of pretrial mailings is deemed to contain the following language: Failure of either party to appear may result in Board of Magistrates action as provided by R 792.11303.

COMPTON, Calif. (CBS) - It has been a very long and emotionally charged journey, but now its finally over.
U.S. Army Veteran Hector Barajas is now a U.S. citizen.
Barajas woke up on Saturday in Tijuana where he's lived for years after being deported, he crossed the border and become a U.S. Citizen.
And now he's home in Southern California.
"I had a life deportation I thought I was never coming home it feels good," Barajas said.
Decorated Army veteran Hector Barajas left Compton a deportee, but he came home Saturday evening an American citizen.
"I get to live the American dream a second time," Barajas said.
He couldn't hide his pride this morning as he took the citizenship pledge in San Diego.
The one-time paratrooper had just come back into the U.S. from Tijuana where he been living and where he started a group for deported veterans like himself
"I feel regardless of what these men and women have done they shouldn't be deported it's morally wrong," Barajas said.
Barajas was first deported in 2004 when he was convicted of shooting at an occupied car.
Because he was a green card holder, not a citizen, the felony record triggered his deportation and barred him from becoming an American.
That is until last month when Gov. Jerry Brown pardoned him.
His red white and blue decked celebration is giving hope to many of those veterans.
And Barajas says he will continue to fight for them.
But first Barajas will fill up on his mother's enchiladas and on Monday a first with his
11-year-old daughter.

Update to deal (24th Sept '08)
The French electricity group EDF is ready to unveil a £12bn deal for the takeover of the UK's nuclear power generator British Energy as early as next week.British Energy is attractive to buyers because of its sites, which could be used to build a new generation of nuclear stations.
It's believed 25% of British Energy would go to Centrica which would give the UK firm an alternative source of energy and reduce its dependence on gas – as well as giving the French some kind of British cover for what might be seen as further proof of the French takeover of the potentially resurgent UK nuclear sector.
There would appear to be a French takeover of the UK nuclear sector happening after the French group Areva this month became preferred bidder with two others to takeover management of the Sellafield nuclear complex in Cumbria.
French nuclear leaks
France's independent radiation watchdog sounded the alarm Thursday after a nuclear leak – the fourth such scare in a fortnight.
Electricité de France workers were exposed to radioactive particles on Wednesday that escaped from a pipe at a nuclear reactor at the Tricastin complex. Experts said that the latest incident involved the highest number of workers to be collectively contaminated in French nuclear history.
Tricastin, which houses four reactors, suffered another leak earlier this month at a separate treatment facility when 74kg of liquid containing unenriched uranium was spilled.
Authorities have just lifted a fishing and water sports ban in two nearby rivers.
It appears we should now be sounding the alarm here in the UK over the government's nuclear energy policy.

Are you skipping meals? Studies show that skipping meals, especially breakfast, may be associated with obesity. When you skip breakfast, you can put your body in what is called pre-starvation mode.
This usually causes you to overeat at your next meal and lead to the consumption of more high-calorie snacks in effort to ease the hunger. In turn, managing weight will become much more challenging.
Eating a healthy breakfast jump-starts your metabolism and provides energy. With the hectic days, we entrepreneurs sometimes experience, this boost of energy may be just the trick to keep us going.
If that is not enough incentive, you should know that an individual who eats breakfast will make healthier food choices throughout the day, do good with work and are also less likely to develop type 2 diabetes.
Have you downloaded your copy of 100 Healthy Snacks for weight loss?
Breakfast does not have to be time-consuming. Did you know that making a peanut butter, banana and spinach smoothie ONLY takes 3 minutes to make? Yes, I said spinach…lol.
You may be thinking to yourself that this looks good but I bet it's not as tasty as it looks. Guess what?
This is a healthy and yummy combination and you will not even taste the spinach.
Here is the recipe:
8 oz of 30 calorie vanilla almond milk 1 scoops of this protein powder 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter 1/2 of a frozen banana 1/2 cup of spinach optional: sprinkle chocolate chunks and coconut flakes
Do not fall prey to the myth that skipping the most important meal of the day will shed a few extra pounds. Those of you who skip breakfast due to the idea that you will lose weight are actually setting themselves up for disappointment.
The benefits of breakfast far outweigh the "believed benefits" of no breakfast, so grab your shake or smoothie and start your day off the right way.
I hope this helps you on your health journey. As many of you know, I love hearing from our community. What's your favorite breakfast smoothie? Let us know in the comment section below.
If you enjoyed this Most Important Meal of the Day post, feel free to save it on Pinterest and Facebook using the buttons below. Your family and friends may like it too.
P.S. If you like shakes and are looking for a good affordable one to replace one-two of your 5 to 6 small meals a day. Let's connect, I'd be happy to share what I'm using.

- Abstract
- The research note assess the withdrawal of Russian troops from the Baltic Republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Since recovering their independence in 1991, the three Baltic states have demanded a speedy repatriation of the Russian military garrisons from their lands. Negotiations with Russia have been ongoing since January 1992. The report examines the negotiating process and the principal differences between the states involved. Additionally, it studies other issues that have emerged as adjunct to the troop withdrawals, namely the controversy surrounding the status of the Russian minority in the Baltic states, border rectification, and the emerging concern about Kaliningrad.

David Goffin and Andy Murray square off in the quarterfinals of the 2016 Rome Masters.
David Goffin is coming off a straight sets win over Tomas Berdych that took 12 games to decide. Goffin's victory in which he did give away a single game may have been the most impressive win of the tournament. Goffin has now won his last two matches in straight sets and has won six of his last nine matches overall. Goffin is clearly experiencing a breakout season and looks for his third semifinal appearance since the Indian Wells Masters. Goffin now has three career wins over top-10 players and could find himself in the top-10 if he stays on this path. Goffin hopes to reach the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 for the third time this season.
Andy Murray is coming off a straight sets win over Jeremy Chardy that took 16 games to decide. Murray has yet to drop a set this tournament and his last five wins have been decided in straight sets. Murray is finding his consistent form at the right time and could make the semifinals for a third straight tournament with a victory here. Murray is dominating his service game and continues to put pressure on his opponent defensively. When Murray is hitting the ball the way he is currently, he's very tough to beat. Murray looks for his second semifinal appearance in the Rome Masters and first since 2011.
These two have played three times in the past, and Murray has won all three meetings. The most recent match was in the 2015 Belgium v Great Britain, a match that was decided in three sets. This will be the second time these two play on clay court.
Goffin made me look foolish in his last match and is simply on a tear as of late. However, Murray is playing some of his best tennis currently and has owned Goffin in a limited sample size. You have to think Murray is still motivated to win his first title since last season.
I'll take Murray in what should be a tight match given their current form.

AIRBUS returned to action with a 4-3 home win over Runcorn Town at a sweltering Hollingsworth Group Stadium.
Steve Jones almost fired the visitors into a first-minute lead but his strike was turned away for a corner and it was the Wingmakers who took the lead midway through the first half when Asa Hamilton slotted home a penalty which was initially saved by keeper Adam Reid.
But Town were level inside seven minutes when Luke Edwards drilled a low shot into the net from 10-yards out.
Airbus regained the initiative after a flurry of goals early in the second half with James Hooper slotting home past Reid, before Kev Exell equalised with a chip from 10-yards out.
A cross from the right was then despatched into the bottom left hand corner by Nathan Quirk before a trialist finished-off a good passing move to give the hosts a two-goal cushion.
After the Red Arrows had stolen the show, Runcorn responded through Jones who grabbed his second of the afternoon.

Corporate espionage & breach of privacy
In the cases we deal with, the stakes can be high, both for the people we act for, and those we claim against. Sometimes the methods employed by defendant companies are unlawful and can become the cause of legal action in their own right. The use of corporate espionage is one such example, which involves spying for commercial rather than national security purposes. Thus campaigners against a particular industrial activity may be infiltrated by spies commissioned by the industry in question in order to obtain confidential information that can be used to undermine the campaign.
Case Study: Anti-asbestos campaigners v K2 Intelligence
Leigh Day acts for three prominent anti-asbestos campaigners suing Mayfair-based K2 Intelligence Ltd, its Executive Managing Director, Matteo Bigazzi, and Robert Moore.
Moore, engaged and paid by K2 to work on "Project Spring", allegedly infiltrated and spied on the campaigners' anti-asbestos network for the benefit of K2's client. The network comprises eminent anti-asbestos campaigners whose activities, internationally, are focused on preventing the public health risks associated with asbestos and advancing the rights of asbestos victims.
It is alleged that Mr Moore claimed to be a journalist who wanted to make a film exposing the hazards of asbestos and to establish a "Stop Asbestos" charity, and that under this cover Moore embedded himself into the heart of the network, and from 2012 to 2016 gained access to an array of highly confidential and valuable information, which K2 passed to its client.
It is alleged that K2's client was an individual or entity involved in the asbestos business and that the purpose of Project Spring was to obtain information about the funding, aims and strategies of the campaigners' network, particularly their strategies towards a ban on the import and usage of chrysotile (white asbestos) in Thailand and Vietnam, where a ban was under consideration but has not so far been implemented.
It is alleged that invoices produced by Mr Moore show that K2 paid him a total of £336,000 in fees and £130,000 in expenses. At the same time, it is alleged that Mr Moore received nearly £10,000 from his victims after claiming he had no source of income while establishing the charity.
Legal proceedings were initiated in October 2016 for breach of confidence, misuse of confidential information and breach of the Data Protection Act In October the High Court granted an injunctions against Moore, which resulted in him handing over 35,000 documents, 650 of which he claimed were passed to K2. In her judgment on 5 December, Mrs Justice Laing stated:
"I have been shown some of the emails which indicate the extent to which the first defendant [Moore] and the second defendant [K2] were engaging in a sophisticated and conscious process of manipulating particularly, I think, the second claimant [Laurie Allen], in order to enable the first defendant to insinuate himself into her confidence, so that he in turn could get confidential information from her; and I would be amazed if the client [of K2] was not aware of that strategy. So it seems to me pretty clear, on the limited information I have, that the client must have been involved in wrongdoing and that is an inference I am prepared to draw on the material I have seen."
The proceedings are ongoing. In addition to seeking damages, the claimants' concerns is to prevent further confidential information being disseminated and to ascertain the extent of the damage caused to the global anti-asbestos campaign by the alleged espionage.
The business of corporate espionage seems to be expanding rapidly. Where it can be identified, legal action of the type outlined above may provide a viable means of deterrence and redress.

Have a question or a comment? I would love to hear from you.
Artist Karen Télio first discovered her passion for beads and precious metals during a trip to Asia. Karen was not looking for a new career at the time - she already had her hands full working as a neurosurgical nurse and raising 2 young children.
What started simply as an interest, quickly turned into an obsession. It soon became clear that Karen had found her true vocation as a jewellery designer; there was no turning back.
Today, Karen's work is displayed in over 35 boutiques across Western Canada and she is currently in the works to expand to Eastern Canada.

I see little change in US economic fundamentals, despite a modest rise in Treasury yields over the last month, which seemed largely due to a sharp selloff across many other global bond markets, rather than to domestic factors.
The Fed appears to believe the economy's performance remains robust enough to continue with a gradual tightening of monetary policy and is inclined to downplay stubbornly low inflation data for the time being. With the labor market closing in on full employment, and consumers benefiting from firm housing and stock prices, I would concur with the Fed's assessment of the health of the underlying economy.
Given such conditions, economic orthodoxy suggests inflation will pick up at some point, and this remains our core view, in the absence of more conclusive evidence that the late period of this cycle could diverge significantly from previous examples in this respect.
US economic data generally followed the mixed pattern seen so far this year. Softer readings included a monthly rise of only 0.1% in consumer spending in May, although much of the weakness was ascribed to low energy prices. More positively, the report contained a healthier monthly gain for spending on services, the largest category.
But retail sales in May and June came in well below consensus expectations, as did some corporate data, notably May orders for durable goods, even when adjusted to exclude the more volatile transportation component of that report. There were also further signs auto sales were continuing to retreat from the record levels reached in 2016, as tighter financing and an increase in the supply of used vehicles increased pressure on new car sales.
The most significant offset to the weaker data was the payroll growth seen in June's labor report. The 222,000 jobs added were well ahead of consensus forecasts, and upward revisions to previous months' data left the three-month average for job gains at approximately 194,000, showing little sign of a slowdown in job creation, despite the past tightening of the market.
The service sector was particularly strong, and a rise in temporary hiring suggested employers might be turning to contractors, after struggling to fill permanent positions. The unemployment rate ticked up a tenth to 4.4%, mirroring a similar rise in labor participation, as more people were encouraged to look for work.
However, June's employment report gave no hint wages were responding to the vibrant pace of payroll growth. Earnings failed to match consensus expectations and rose only 0.2% month-on-month in June, leaving the annual increase at 2.5%, while the equivalent figures for May were revised down to 0.1% and 2.4%.
The lackluster wage growth echoed a similar tone in broader inflation gauges, with the core personal consumption expenditures price index—the Fed's favored measure of price growth—dropping to an annual rate of 1.4% in May, a third consecutive decline and its lowest level in 18 months.
As the minutes from the Fed's June meeting showed, most of the committee members were not unduly concerned about this ongoing softness in inflation, putting it down mainly to "idiosyncratic factors" such as cheaper cell phone bills and drugs.
A few, though, did express fears that progress toward the Fed's 2% inflation target had slowed, and later remarks by Fed Chair Janet Yellen, which emphasized the close attention being paid to whether price pressures were at risk of stagnating, were seen as slightly more dovish than earlier indications.
Similarly, the Fed minutes illustrated differing views among policymakers on the potential implications of the tight labor market, given that the unemployment rate had moved close to or even below most prior definitions of full employment.
Further detail was revealed about discussions related to the unwinding of the Fed's balance sheet, with the September meeting still a possibility for such a move to be announced. All in all, however, reaction to the release of the Fed's June discussions appeared fairly muted, and market participants remained divided on whether another rise in US interest rates would take place before the end of the year, as indicated by the Fed's own projections.
The relatively upbeat sentiment regarding the economy was by no means confined to Fed policymakers. Consensus estimates for second-quarter gross domestic product growth remained in the 2.5%–3.0% range, suggesting a strong pickup from the first quarter's latest reading of 1.4%, itself a healthy upward revision from the initial figure of 0.7%.
There were further grounds for optimism in the strength of the June Institute for Supply Management purchasing managers' indexes (PMIs) for manufacturing and services. The surveys pointed to solid levels of employment, new orders, business activity and production, with the manufacturing PMI rising to its highest level since 2014.
Another positive indicator was a quarterly survey of chief executive officers—canvassing their planned investment and hiring as well as projected sales—which hit a three-year high.
The signals coming from the Fed seem to indicate policymakers' clear desire to gradually normalize monetary policy, so how the pace of this normalization could be affected by domestic data and other factors continues to be the main focus for market participants.
The possibility of future tax legislation and deregulation under the Trump administration and its potential to boost growth remains one of the key unknowns that could significantly impact the Fed's calculations.
Very good overview of the things with US economy. Basically its aggregation of primary concerns and worries, I'd appreciate if you sauced it with some personal opinions or at least likely scenarios.

A young man and a couple of his pals (all drunk, all stupid and all horrifyingly eligible to vote) became bored one night. They conducted a quick inventory of their present possessions in order to assist them in finding something to break up the monotony. [1] Noisy vehicle … check. [2] Loud stereo with ample supply of death metal and gangsta' rap … check. [3] Beer … check. Thus armed and presently driving around in the vicinity of a local Hutterite colony, they decided to spend the next 20 minutes terrorizing the sleeping families in the colony. They raced through the large property, spinning donuts, ruining gardens, frightening livestock and causing about $3,000 damage to a truck scale. This continued until most of that community's men had jumped into their own trucks in order to coral the marauders. That didn't worry our heroes though. They were confident in the ability of their vehicle to outrun a bunch of farm trucks and were about to do so when an essential but unconsidered element in their pre-mischief inventory became evident … [4] Full tank of gas. Moments later police arrested and charged the driver with impaired driving and an assortment of related charges. He'll need to get a ride to court so hopefully whoever takes him there is more attentive to the limitations of the gas tank.
One weekday afternoon, this week, a couple of would-be gangsters decided to skip lunch and apply themselves to some extra-curricular artistic endeavours. The aesthetic vision they shared was to spray paint "AW" (in bright blue) on as many buildings as they could manage over their lunch break from classes. That number of buildings turned out to be 18. Police followed the reported sightings of the mischievous Michael Angelo's to a pair of similarly featured characters lurking in a nearby back alley. The member approached them and said, "let me see your hands". This request was delivered in the standard "let me see your hands" manner which is intended to elicit the recipient to hold out their hands for examination. The suspects interpreted it as the other version of "show me your hands" which is usually barked and is augmented by the pointing of a gun. Just as well. The pair raised their hands over their heads and in doing so were unable to keep several cans of bright blue spray paint from tumbling out from beneath their jackets. "Caught red handed", declared the member, then she noticed their upraised hands and corrected herself, "caught blue handed!".
Both members of the well-advertised "AW" gang (Artful Wankers? Academic Wonders?) were arrested and charged with about 18 counts of criminal mischief. Both were also charged with obstruction when they tried to provide police with fake names to avoid additional charges related to probation breaches. Actually the names seemed reasonable, it was the dates of birth that had the aroma of deception. They gave two different dates of birth but insisted that they were: 1.) Brothers. And: 2.) Twins. When police pointed out that they were born in different months, they both rolled their eyes ("stoopid kops") and explained, "we're fraternal twins … not identical".
If one wants to avoid the attention of a passing police officer … one must avoid saying things like, "Oh Sh(ucks!) It's the cops" loud enough for the "cops" to hear. One should also avoid making obvious attempts to hide something that was in one's hand, somewhere else in one's clothing, before escaping back into the bar one just left. One such person was then followed back into the bar and then into the ladies' rest room. The male member stood outside of the closed rest room stall and listened as the toilet tank cover was removed and then hastily replaced. The female suspect then stepped out and (seemingly unsurprised to see a male police officer in the ladies' room) said, "it's all yours". Very soon after she was arrested for being in possession of a controlled substance (marijuana). The member was pretty sure that it was going to be some form of illicit drugs which she had attempted to hide inside the toilet tank. He surmised that she had put the drugs in the tank because she wanted to come back to get them after he left – otherwise she would have flushed the evidence away. What did surprise the member was that she had thrown several rolled cannabis cigarettes into the water and the baggy of loose buds was open and had sunk to the bottom. No good for smoking anymore but still an excellent exhibit for court purposes.
Early Monday morning a semi hauling assorted cargo for a courier company lost control on the QEII and flipped over on its side. The trailer remained mostly intact except for about a thousand pounds of product which crashed through the rear door and spilled out onto the roadway and into the ditch. The driver was uninjured. Investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. The fire department attended and dealt with the vehicle. A HAZMAT team was called in to deal with the spilled materials and police attended to secure the scene and prevent anyone from helping themselves to the spilled contents. Did I mention that those contents were primarily pharmaceuticals; namely birth control pills, Viagra and nicotine gum?
When I heard about this I thought, "why the HAZMAT team?". I know that people routinely ingest those three products. I considered "chemical reaction" as a reason but discounted it after considering that those three products are often used in conjugation (I mean conjunction) with one another. That left me with "residual environmental impact" as the rationale for the HAZMAT involvement. I presume that we will know whether they were successful or not depending on the rigidity of the cat tails and wild grasses in that particular section of ditch next spring.

Petition to stop "Warfare Packages"
News from the Beta: Innogames is exploring new possibilities to implement even more competitive advantages for Premium players. In exchange for a certain amount of money you can now buy so called "Warfare Packages" which contain bonuses like triple battle points, population expansion or troop reinforcements.
Although I do embrace the concept of using gold to support the game, I must say that the amount of effort they put into the monetization is getting kinda ridiculous! Mostly because other stuff desperately needs improvement…
For that reason, I want to express my support for all the people who right now try to make a change by starting petitions on their language markets. I urge everybody to sign these or to even start one on your markets as well if it doesn't exist.
Here is a list of all the petitions I know of:
Post into the comments if you know of more petitions and I will add them to the list.

Eclipse glasses: Everything you need to know
NASA has recently warned of unsafe glasses being distributed by dishonest companies. The agency recommends the following brands as the best in the business: American Paper Optics, Rainbow Symphony, Thousand Oaks Optical, and TSE 17.
On Monday, August 21 the moon will pass between the earth and the sun, turning day into night for a short period of time. The total solar eclipse will happen above parts of our viewing area, but you risk permanent damage to your eyes or possibly blindness down the road if you don't watch the eclipse safely. Here's what you need to know about getting reliable glasses.
At minimum, the reference number ISO 12312-2 (or ISO 12312-2:2015) must be printed on the inside of the glasses. This means they were made using the latest strict international safety guidelines.
However, you can't trust all brands. NASA has recently warned of unsafe glasses being made/distributed by dishonest companies. The agency recommends the following brands as the best in the business: American Paper Optics, Rainbow Symphony, Thousand Oaks Optical, and TSE 17.
More brands have recently been deemed as reputable. | A LIST IS AVAILABLE HERE.
To avoid getting your hands on counterfeits, make sure the manufacturer's information AND the ISO code appear on the glasses.
No matter where you buy your glasses inspect the lenses closely. Make sure they're not scratched or wrinkled because this would make them unsafe to wear. Also, don't reuse eclipse glasses if they're more than three years old.
Wearing these glasses during the partial phases of the eclipse is extremely important. These are the times when only some of the sun will be covered by the moon. When the sun is totally covered it's fine to sneak a peak without eye wear, but only for a brief time. As the moon continues to move past the sun it's important to put your glasses back on to avoid permanent eye damage or blindness. Sunglasses are never a substitute for eclipse glasses. However, welder's goggles are acceptable if Shade 12 or higher. Also, eclipse glasses should be worn over top of regular eyeglasses.
The partial eclipse will start around 1 p.m. eastern time, and the total solar eclipse will begin around 2:30. Spring City, TN will be in the center line, meaning people there will get the full two minutes and forty seconds of the total eclipse. People within approximately 50 miles of Spring City will see the total eclipse for as little as little as 30 seconds or as long as two minutes and fifteen seconds.
READ MORE | 2017 Solar Eclipse
While supplies last you can purchase viewing glasses at some stores in the area. For updated information refer to the text in the story online HERE.
If you miss this total solar eclipse, you'll have to wait several years for the next one to happen near the Tennessee Valley. It will be above central Arkansas and southeast Missouri in April, 2024.

When you think back about 2015, what comes to mind? Maybe you started or finished something very important to you. Or maybe you did something that you've never done before, or you learned something new. Take a minute to think back on the year. I hope something wonderful comes to mind. And if not, 2016 is here, and you've still got 50 weeks to see those New Year's resolutions through!
For me, 2015 was a phenomenal year. For starters, I advanced my own skills and met several colleagues from all over the country at several advanced dental education seminars. I spent quite a bit of time in Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Boston and Memphis to earn certifications from USC, the Spear Institute and other top dental organizations to make sure my skills are up to date and that I can offer my patients all the latest techniques available.
I also asked my longtime girlfriend if she would marry me. And she said yes!
For me personally that was the highlight (and I think it was for my fiancé too!), but I also loved helping so many other great people accomplish their dreams throughout the year. And I know that feeling is shared by all of us at Sleep Dentistry Defined. So I want to take a minute to look back at some of my patients who also had reason to celebrate in 2015.
Marlee's smile looks fantastic after years of her not loving her teeth. She had stained, chipped teeth when she came to Sleep Dentistry Defined for the first time. During her initial consultation, we discussed her options and Marlee decided to go with porcelain veneers so that she could restore her smile to what her teeth looked like 20 or 25 years ago! Her new veneers were applied over two appointments, under sedation, and the results are simply incredible! Marlee now enjoys complete confidence in her beautiful smile.
Our patient Bill has dealt with colitis and related health issues for years, but in 2015 he decided enough was enough! Several medications for non-dental issues can have an adverse effect on your teeth and dental health. Over the years, low-grade infections had taken their toll on Bill's teeth. He came in to Sleep Dentistry Defined and we discussed ways that we could address infections in his teeth, and keep the infections from coming back. We replaced Bill's damaged teeth with dental implants, which in his case were much easier to keep clean, and has had a huge effect on his overall health. He feels better, looks better and can more effectively deal with his other health issues now that he doesn't have to worry about his teeth!
Winnie came in to Sleep Dentistry Defined with traditional dentures, which if you've ever used them, you know that they are neither comfortable nor very useful! Winnie and I came up with the perfect way for her to be done with her dentures for good. By using our advanced CT scanner and creating a game plan for her new implant dentures, we were able to transform Winnie's smile with just one surgery and a couple follow-up appointments. Many people like Winnie have lived with dental issues for years, but once a better way is presented they can't wait to make the jump to something better. Winnie loves her new smile, and we do too! By making the leap to a new smile in 2015, Winnie can enjoy her new smile and added confidence for years to come.
I think you'll all agree that these three individuals have a lot to be happy about. Here's to 2015 and an even more amazing 2016!
If you have a success story to share, or want to talk about how we can make your 2016 a great dental year, give us a call.

Written by Counselling Psychologist Jonathan Bosworth
The World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH) defines infant mental health as: "as the ability to develop physically, cognitively, and socially in a manner which allows them [infants] to master the primary emotional tasks of early childhood without serious disruption caused by harmful life events. Because infants grow in a context of nurturing environments, infant mental health involves the psychological balance of the infant-family system."
Why infant mental health?
The first thought that may cross your mind is : "Why is infant mental health important?"
I hope to provide the answers to this important question thoughout this series of articles. Initially I would like to share some of the reasons for focusing on the psychological wellbeing of babies, which may start to answer your question.
1. Babies should be seen as little people
For a long time many health professionals believed that babies lack an in-depth mental life. For this reason they neglected to focus on infant mental health and rather focussed on other areas of babies' development, most often their physical development. However more recently there has been a lot of evidence indicating that infants are a lot more aware of what goes on in the world around them, and that they actually have a very rich emotional life. In this sense babies should be seen as little people with their own minds, experiences and views of the world. As seen in the above WAIMH definition – and to be expanded upon in future articles – this emotional life has a large social component. The first way we get to know ourselves and our world is through our immediate social relationships and circumstances, mostly commonly our family.
2. The formation of a baby's personality
Getting to know ourselves and to form what makes each of us uniquely us is definitely something that starts in infancy. The World Association of Infant Mental Health (WAIMH) focuses on the period from conception to three years of age. Many prominent psychological theorists propose that our personalities are formed or even set in the first two or five years of life. Our experiences in infancy therefore may play a huge role in the development of our personalities and later mental health. Because of the basis for our personalities and psychological strengths and weaknesses being laid down at this age, it is often this period when our inner conflicts are more accessible and more readily able to be processed and mastered. As we move into childhood and adulthood we may become more set in our ways and the factors underlying our difficulties may become less accessible. Infancy may thus be a key developmental period for the promotion of mental wellness and prevention of later difficulties.
3. Not just mental health
Infancy is not just a critical period for emotional and social development but also cognitive (intellectual) and physical development. The former and the latter are certainly not unrelated. There is a complex interplay between emotional and social development, and cognitive and physical development. In other words, infant mental health can have a large impact on other areas of development and can even be related to the frequency of illness and medical difficulties in infancy but also later life. The latter is something that is probably specifically on your mind as a visitor to a baby website focussing on sleep and feeding problems.
In future articles I plan to expand on some of the concepts touched on here and also, as aforementioned, to further attend to the importance of focusing on infant mental health. I hope to provoke thought and to empower parents and caregivers to be able to better provide for their babies and themselves in this challenging but rewarding stage of life for babies, parents and families.
Look out for my future articles on the following infant mental health related topics:
• Temperament
• The parent-infant bond
• Parental mental health
• Getting help with mental health
• Fatherhood
• The parental couple
• Sleep and feeding troubles;
• And more

Because you are dying to know how our "money and love" weekend turned out, here ya go:
1. On the way to Starkville, Oscar got a spanking because he ate his bed. His 76th bed in his 3.5 year life span. Mama was mad.
2. I snuck Oscar in our hotel room in my Coach luggage. Keeping it classy. I DARED him to eat the zipper like he ate the zipper to his pop-up play tent. He played by the rules.
3. H and I had our taxes prepared. Fun times.
4. We ate at our fav places in Starkville. And loved it.
5. We went to the movies because it was 5 minutes from our hotel, verses the 30 minutes we have to drive in "real life BS." Seize the moment...right?!
6. We let Oscar Mayer run free on the Drill Field. He was the big man on campus. He LOVED LOVED it! He would bark at the occasional student....and chase the occasional squirrel. If he were to die today, I think he would say his life is complete. He left Starkville happy and tired. Mission accomplished.
7. For Valentine's Day, H bought me a GORGEOUS watercolor picture of the Chapel of Memories (where he proposed) and sent a dozen roses to work.
8. Heart day continued last night with dinner at Crescent City and a trip to the symphony. H was there in body- not so much in spirit. But, he still gets 23.5 points for agreeing to go. I love my man.
9. O-man received heart shaped treats from cupid. He doesn't like them. He will chew them.....then spit them out. On the rug. Thanks for that Buddy. Thanks.

text: Examination of life means for me world exploration. Life is created from many different activities. Through these activities humans are examining their lives. People during their lives are learning many new things, are creating new things, and are meeting new people. Moreover, they are developing their interests. These activities are giving people happiness. Unexamined life means for me very sad and boring life. Consequently, not exploring life is not worth of living. People who do not have any interests are losing a lot of enjoyment. I can not imagine, if somebody do not have any hobby. For example I love drawing. When I have free time I am making small sketches. Moreover, I am drawing them when I am angry or stressed because this activity helps me calm down. Drawing is part of examination of my life because it is part of me. As well drawing is giving me a lot of enjoyment and fun. I can not imagine my life without making these sketches. People are learning all the time. My parents showed me and explained how to cook some meals. They also taught me how to ride a bike. I was laughing when I started ride on bike, and I was happy when I baked my first cake. However, I am still learning because I am attending to the college. Moreover, English is my second language which I am still improving. I am very happy when I have good grades because I know that I know something new. For me all these activities are part of examination of life. These facts are presenting that people are learning at every stage of life. I can not imagine what I could lose in my life when I not bake my first cake, ride a bike, and learn English. Consequently, I will be learning some new things in the future as well because through them I examine my life.… Show More

Average: 4.9 out of 5 Stars
Our daughter has been at Creative Early Learning Center for over a year and never wants to miss a day! When she started off in the toddler group she barely communicated in English as her primary language was different at home. The teachers and staff at CELC have been very understanding and worked around her needs and interests. We are happy with her progress from being a 'little owl' to the 'busy bee' she is now! The family events and activities are fun too!
-- Subhash W
Thanks so much Subhash. It's been so awesome seeing your little girl grow and develop in all areas. She is so much fun to work with. Hope all is well.
