As a leader, you have certain expectations in what others will deliver. The chances are you will write these down once agreed. The trouble is that often there is a missing link in the process and that link is 'follow up'.
If you don't follow up, a number of things will happen:
Follow up sets your stall out as a leader, shows that you are serious and provides that vital feedback that so many people are crying out for. So what changes do you need to make to follow up more effectively?

The Colorado Rockies and Philadelphia Phillies have overcome a decade of futility and finally returned to the National League playoffs. They're the two teams that I personally find most appealing in this year's post-season, so they are of course squaring off in the first round. Blake Street Bombers! Phightin' Phils! National League Division Series Fever - catch it!
There's no historical animosity between these two teams. They're not in the same division, and due to their usual non-contender status, they've played very few meaningful games in Colorado's 15-year existences. If anything, the teams can find a lot of common ground:
- Non-specific nicknames
- Bizarre Mascots
- Disastrous overpriced pitching acquisitions
- Portly sluggers:
Maybe they can start a feud about the Allen Iverson trade, or some manufactured rivalry between the Colorado Crush and the Philadelphia Fire. Did Jon Bon Jovi and Judy Collins ever get into a brawl?
What are the Phillies like?
In 2005 and 2006, the Phillies missed the playoffs on the very last day of the season. For fans, it's like they're collectively Charlie Brown. They tried to kick a football, Lucy pulled it away, and then Schroeder and Linus kicked them in the nuts - two years in a row. Seeing Phillies fans have their dreams crushed at the end of a six-month, 162-game season made me feel relieved that the Giants sucked from wire-to-wire these past few seasons. This year, I gave up around St. Patrick's Day. It can be freeing.
Philadelphia has four players in their starting lineup having near-superstar years: MVP-favorite and Oakland native Jimmy Rollins plays short. Second baseman Chase Utley might have been the MVP front-runner without a midseason trip to the DL. First baseman Ryan Howard won the MVP last year, and hit 47 homers this year. Center fielder Aaron Rowand made the All-Star team and is one of the best defensive outfielders in the league.
Besides those guys, they have former star Pat Burrell, two other solid outfielders in the clumsy Jayson Werth and Shane Victorino, whose bobblehead features him wearing a grass skirt. They don't have a good third baseman, but they do have three crappy guys who are crappy in different enough ways that they make an interesting platoon.
Their pitching is bizarre. Wife-beater Brett Myers started the season as the team's ace, got moved to the closer role, punched manager Charlie Manuel in the face, apologized and remind Manuel that he loved him, but he just gets crazy sometimes, bought Charlie Manuel flowers as makeup gift, went on the disabled list for two months, and later called a beat writer a "fuckin retard". They'll be starting both a 44-year-old and a rookie in this series. They also have a relief pitcher with twelve fingers. Don't be surprised to see a dwarf or a centaur take the mound if any of these games go extra innings.
What are the Rockies like?
The Rockies also have an excellent lineup, with overrated MVP candidate Matt Holliday leading the way, and defensive whiz Troy Tulowitzki helping out at shortstop. Regular Zembla feature subject Todd Helton is still at first base, thanks to his 27-year contract, and Japanese import Kaz Matsui plays second. Matsui is a crucial part of this Rockies team, both because of his solid glovework and his status as one of the few minorities on the team. It's just him and Yorvit Torrealba among position players. If you like white people, you'll love the Rockies.
The position players are good, but the Colorado bullpen is the Refugee All-Stars of the baseball world. Wyclef would have plenty of material with this collection of vagrants and unwanted players from other squads. Still, the bullpen kept them together in the playoff hunt. In their one-game playoff versus San Diego, starter Josh Fogg (a refugee from the Pirates)only lasted four innings. The Rockies were trying to stay alive, or they'd be gone 'til November, when the free agency signing period begins. So they turned to their reclamation projects.
Matt Herges had a beleaguered stint as the Giants' fill-in closer in 2004, before declining further in 2005, eventually earning a trade to Arizona. He gave up four home runs in his first eight innings with the new team, and the Diamondbacks released him two weeks later. In 2006, he signed with the Marlins, and landed in Colorado before 2007.
But that's not all. In 2002, the Dodgers dealt Herges to Montreal. Montreal kept him for the season, then traded him to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh released him a week before the season, he signed with San Diego, and was traded to the Giants at midseason. In summary, that means Herges has pitched for eight different NL teams, including every team in the NL West. (His brother-in-law, Todd Hollandsworth, played for eight different teams as well.) In the tiebreaker win, Herges pitched three shutout innings.
Herges wasn't alone. LaTroy Hawkins was run out of town in San Francisco and Chicago. He threw a shutout inning. Jeremy Affeldt, who couldn't cut it in the third world baseball nation of Kansas City, closed out an inning. Winning pitcher Ramon Ortiz was booted from Anaheim, Cincinnati, Washington, and Minnesota. Now they're in the playoffs. Maybe Steve Kline should sign there next year.
("What's he gonna do, hit me with an 84 MPH fastball?")
Thing to say to appear more knowledgable about this series
"That change of venue really helped Matsui."
"Now that they're using the humidor, Coors Field is much more of a pitcher's park."
"A real Philly cheesesteak is covered in Cheez-Whiz."
"Then, the beat writer asked him to spell 'retard'."
"Alfonseca also has six toes on each foot. And he's not a freak; it's called polydactylism."
"Sean Keane is probably not attracted to that dude."
Root for Philadelphia if...
You're from Oakland, Pennsylvania or southern Jersey, you feel bad about the Patriots stealing signals in the 2005 Super Bowl, you like mullets, you enjoy crazy press conferences where players and managers scream at reporters, or if you want to see if Ryan Howard can hit a ball 600 feet in Colorado.
Root for Colorado if...
You like John Elway, John Denver, infield defense, left-handed starting pitching, position players with long surnames, and the possibility of blizzards postponing the World Series.
Sean's prediction
Rockies in five, winning Game 5 in Philly, because God hates Philadelphia fans, regardless of the sport.

Cases of anorexia are on the rise among preteen children in the UK and Ireland, research suggests, with rates having as much as doubled in 10 Years.
The study, which looked at cases of anorexia diagnosed by psychiatrists in hospitals or specialist clinics, estimates that 3.2 per 100, 000 children aged between eight and 12 met criteria for anorexia for the first time in 2015, compared with 1.5 to 2.1 per 100, 000 in 2006. Trends for older children could not be examined due to lack to comparable historical data.
The research follows reports ofa doubling in hospital admissionsfor eating disorders in the past six years, with the surge driven by an uptick in cases among teenage girls and women in their early 20 s.
Sarah Byford, a professor of health economics at King's College London and co-author of the new study, said those potentially vulnerable to developing an eating disorder may be being exposed to risk factors at an earlier age, including pressure to diet or do well at school.
Alternatively, she said, the figures may be a positive story: "This finding might simply be that we are getting better at identifying young people [with anorexia]," she said.
Tom Quinn, of the eating disorder charity Beat, also urged further research into the trend, and said health service providers should ensure they were making the most of the available resources.
"Since 2016, substantial extra funding has been made available to the NHS in England for investment in specialist eating disorder services for under 18 s, but not all commissioners and providers have prioritised these services sufficiently, "he said.
To conduct the study, published inthe journal BMJ Open, Byford and colleagues asked all child and adolescent consultant psychiatrists based in hospitals , universities or community settings in the UK and Ireland to report the number of anorexia cases they had seen every month from February to September 2015.
If a clinician reported a case, they were subsequently asked to fill in a questionnaire to allow the team to gather details of the patient and their diagnosis.
Over the eight-month period, 305 cases were reported that met requirements for the study, with the vast majority in girls and people of white ethnicity.
To calculate the rate of new cases of anorexia, the team took into account that only half of clinicians responded and others did not complete the questionnaire.
The results suggest that among children aged eight to 17 years old, there are 13 .7 new cases of anorexia per 100, 000 people per year. Among girls the estimate was higher, at 25. per 100, 000, with the age of diagnosis peaking at 15 years old.
The team then focused on eight- to 12 – year-olds, finding a marked increase in cases in recent years.
But Byford said it was important to look at the figures in context. "For the younger children aged eight to 12 we are only talking maybe 250 [new cases a year], "She said.
Byford said that both the latest figures and earlier estimates probably underestimated the true incidence of anorexia, pointing out that many do not seek help, while older teenagers may go to adult services.The Royal College of Psychiatristshas said that fewer than a quarter of people with eating disorders in the UK receive treatment.
Dr Agnes Ayton, chair of the eating disorders faculty at the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said "This study shows what psychiatrists have been seeing every day, which is a worrying rise in the number of young people suffering from the most deadly mental illness. The causes are complex,and much more research needs to be done in order to better support those affected. Anecdotally, reasons could include increasing pressures on children in schools, and advertisements encouraging unrealistic ideas of body image. "
Quinn also said the figures were probably underestimates, and urged further research into earlier interventions. "Full recovery from an eating disorder is possible and the sooner someone gets the treatment they need, the more likely they are to make a full and sustained recovery," he said.

McGrath Exits As MTV Networks CEO
Judy McGrath, one of the architects of MTV, is stepping down as chairman and CEO of MTV Networks, positions she has held since 2004.
MTVN parent Viacom said a successor would not be named.
With McGrath's exit, the programmer's operating units will be headed by MTVN Entertainment president Doug Herzog, MTVN Music & Logo Group president Van Toffler, and Nickelodeon & MTVN Kids & Family Group president Cyma Zarghami. They will report directly to Viacom president and CEO Phillipe Dauman.
McGrath, who started her career with the company as a copywriter for MTV in 1981 after working at Conde Nast publications, was president of the youth culture music network from 1994-2002. In her more recent role, she had oversight for such notable brands as MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, TV Land, VH1, CMT and Spike. Among the programs she has championed are Nickelodeon's worldwide "Let's Just Play," mtvU's "Darfur is Dying," MTV's Peabody Award-winning "Choose or Lose" and Emmy award-winning "Fight For Your Rights" campaigns and the "Hope For Haiti" telethon.
"The people of MTV Networks have always been singularly important to me. Together we have built world-class brands that connect with fans from kid to adulthood, from SpongeBob to Hot In Cleveland, from Unplugged to The Daily Show," said McGrath in a statement. "We have attracted and nurtured the best talent in the world, and I know that will always be a hallmark of the company. Creatively, financially, all the brands and businesses are in wonderful shape today. I leave with pride, joy and gratitude for the ride of a lifetime. I especially thank my friends and colleagues on the senior team, who will continue to lead a kick-ass organization. They have my respect and affection, always."
Noted Dauman: "Judy has long been the creative heart and inspiring soul of MTV Networks and has deservedly been associated with so much of the great entertainment, cultural relevance, social significance and business success that have defined our media networks over the years. Her positive and passionate spirit has helped create an organization that is recognized for truly listening to its audiences, not only about their entertainment choices, but also about the social issues and the causes that matter to them most.
"We will all miss Judy enormously, but we respect her decision and understand her desire to leave at the very top of the game with a legacy of success that stretches from the earliest days of cable television to current season highlights. The networks under her direction are rapidly expanding to new platforms and reaching new creative and ratings milestones, all under the able guidance of experienced and talented management teams. With a deep executive bench and our popular and growing stable of media network brands, we are confident that Viacom won't miss a beat and will flourish."
The following is a letter that Dauman circulated to the programmer's employees:
Memo from Philippe Dauman:
Dear Colleagues:
The words creativity, passion and integrity are thrown around a lot in business. But when used to describe our friend and colleague Judy McGrath, these words take on special relevance and meaning. Throughout her career, Judy has embodied the spirit of discovery and reinvention that has defined and fueled a great deal of our creative and business success. Today, in the attached press release, we announced that after three decades of extraordinary accomplishment, Judy has decided to leave MTV Networks and begin a new chapter in her career.
What a remarkable career it has been. After a brief flirtation with the magazine industry, she arrived at MTV moments after its birth in 1981 as a copywriter. Soon, her creative work was helping to define MTV's maverick attitude and unique audience connection with on-air promos and contests like "Devo Goes Hawaiian" and "One Night Stand with Journey." From the beginning, she energetically channeled her life-long passion for music into everything she did. Judy thrived and so did MTV. She subsequently moved up the ranks and became Editorial Director, Executive Vice President and Creative Director, and then, President of MTV. Under her direction as President, MTV grew from a cable channel about music into the global brand it is today by constantly reinventing and reflecting the always-changing youth culture.
As Chairman and CEO of MTV Networks, her inclusive leadership helped shape our media networks into the most successful and powerful television brands in the world today. Judy and her team guided the growth of the industry's largest collection of multiplatform networks, including MTV, MTV2, mtvU, Tr3s, VH1, VH1 Classic, CMT, Logo, Nickelodeon, Nick at Nite, COMEDY CENTRAL, TV Land and Spike, to name just a few. Through Nickelodeon, she also oversaw the growth and expansion of one of the largest consumer products businesses in the world.
The list of entertaining, culturally significant and generationally relevant programming produced during her tenure is as large and varied as the audiences she continually studied and sought. She was in the room when The Real World was conceived and reality television was born. She led the team that created cultural beacons like the MTV Video Music Awards, Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards, the MTV Movie Awards and Total Request Live. She Punk'd a generation, introduced us to the bleepin' Osbournes, and took MTV's largest audience ever on a trip to the Jersey Shore. Under her watch, generations of kids were introduced to Nick's megahits SpongeBob SquarePants, iCarly and Dora the Explorer, the LGBT (NYSE: BT) audience got their first and only television network in LOGO, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report became important voices in the national dialogue, and we got an unblinking look at teenage pregnancy and motherhood on 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom.
As we all know, Judy's enthusiasm is infectious and her commitment is boundless. Consistently recognized as an inspiring and creative leader, she has been a model for many young women seeking successful careers in the entertainment industry. She has led the drive for diversity and community service throughout our organization and always maintained a passionate commitment to developing pro-social initiatives that raise the consciousness of viewers and empower audience involvement. "Darfur is Dying," the Peabody Award-winning "Choose or Lose" campaign, the Emmy award-winning "Fight For Your Rights" series, Nick's "Let's Just Play," and the "Hope For Haiti" telethon are only a few of the many dozens of important pro-social campaigns she has championed across the entire portfolio of MTVN brands.
While doing all this, she also made time to personally give back, serving on the Board of Governors of the American Red Cross, the Board of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, and the Advisory Board of the United Nation Foundation's Girl Up campaign. Most important, she built a great life with her husband Mike and daughter Anna.
Perhaps her most enduring legacy is the talented team she assembled up and down the ranks of MTV Networks. With Judy's departure, we have the opportunity to tap into and elevate an extraordinary group of experienced executives.
Effective immediately, Doug Herzog, President, MTVN Entertainment Group; Van Toffler, President, MTVN Music & Logo Group; and Cyma Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon & MTVN Kids & Family Group - each of whom have successfully led their teams for many years and all of whom have moved their organizations forward creatively and operationally - will report directly to me.
I am very pleased to be able to recognize the efforts of these outstanding executives who have all been instrumental in achieving new levels of success for many of our most prominent media properties. I am looking forward to working more closely with them and with their talented teams.
Additionally, we are more closely aligning important staff functions. Rich Eigendorff, COO of MTVN, who has also been with the Viacom family for more than 25 years and contributed enormously to our success, will now report to Viacom's COO, Tom Dooley. Rich will continue to oversee MTVN's ad sales efforts as well as the content, distribution and marketing operations. Also reporting to Rich will be Carole Robinson, who will continue in her current responsibilities. MTVN's CFO, Jacques Tortoroli, will now report to Viacom's CFO, Jimmy Barge; MTVN Co-General Counsel, Andra Shapiro and George Cheeks, will report to Viacom's General Counsel, Mike Fricklas; and Catherine Houser, EVP, MTVN Human Resources, will report directly to Viacom's EVP of Human Resources, Denise White - giving us the opportunity to bring greater coordination to these important functions. Marva Smalls will continue to report to Cyma as EVP, Public Affairs and Chief of Staff, Nickelodeon & MTVN Kids and Family Group. In her broader duties as EVP of Global Inclusion, which will be expanded to include the entire company, Marva will advise me and report to Denise White as part of our Viacom-wide diversity initiatives.
I know you join me in a heartfelt farewell to Judy, an admired and valued colleague whose accomplishments at MTV Networks and in our industry will never be diminished or forgotten. There is no doubt that filling Judy's Chuck Taylors will be a big task, but I am confident that working together with the talented team she leaves behind, we will get it done - with a lot of hard work and enthusiasm and a generous measure of grace and style. Just the way Judy always did it.
Warm regards,

Bathroom Vanities and Pedestal Sinks
Vanities are a great choice for bathrooms. They offer plenty of storage space and a sink, but are also an attractive addition to your bathroom. Most types come with a single or double sink, a faucet or tap, and a countertop. Many also have built-in soap dispensers. While pedestal sinks are fine for small bathrooms, vanity sinks can be too large for a roomy bath.
Pedestal sinks are a great option for smaller bathrooms. They help maximize wasted space, and you can purchase one with a pedestal for more storage. Wooden vanaties add a rustic feel to the bathroom, but are expensive. When buying wood vanaties, look for ones with a protective layer, as wood can warp if it's in a moist environment. Otherwise, you can choose a less expensive, more durable option made of medium density fiberboard (MDF). This material is covered with a durable material, making it easy to clean.
Pedestal sinks are also considered vanity units, and are similar to wall-mounted sinks in terms of design and limitations. The important thing to remember when buying a vanity is to choose materials that are durable, such as solid wood, to ensure it will last for years. Investing in high-quality materials will ensure your vanity is worth the money. A pedestal sink is a good choice for a small bathroom, as it's affordable.

Ah, January 1st. These games are the gems of the bowl season, and, as usual, they're being played by name-brand teams. Of course, we're playing on New Year's Day, but we won't be predicting that game in this post. Instead, we'll tell you what's going to happen in the others so that you can focus all your attention on cheering our boys onto the first win of 2014.
Capital One Bowl (January 1, 1:00 p.m.)
No. 19 Wisconsin (-1.5) v. No. 9 South Carolina
This is South Carolina's second trip to the Capital One Bowl (ever). Last time they handily beat a Nebraska team that had gone 9-3 in its first season in the Big Integer. This year they're facing a Wisconsin team that... went 9-3 as a long-time member of the Big Integer. I'm guessing that history repeats itself and Cocky pulls the upset.
Outback Bowl (January 1, 1:00 p.m.)
Iowa v. No. 16 LSU (-7.5)
Since 2005, the SEC is 13-8 against the Big Integer in bowl games. LSU will continue our conference's dominance by beating the ever-living hell out of Iowa in the Outback Bowl.
Rose Bowl (January 1, 5:00 p.m.)
No. 5 Stanford (-5.5) v. No. 4 Michigan State
The Cardinal were slight favorite to win this game before the Spartans suspended their best defensive player for an unspecified violation of team rules. Since then, the line has jumped from 1.5 to 5.5 in favor of Stanford. That still seems low to me. If the Cardinal can shut down Oregon, they can shut down Michigan State. Stanford covers.
Go Dawgs!

Did you know that hay is an excellent complement to a rodent's diet?Your pet rodent can benefit greatly from the simple addition of hay to its diet. The "TIMOTHY" variety is a more nutritional and complete blend than the one called "ALFALFA". "TIMOTHY" consists of a healthful variety of grasses, whereas "ALFALFA" is just that: alfalfa. In fact, too much alfalfa can even cause an imbalance in your pet's digestive system. So go with what's best for your pet!Lyne Hervieux, biologist

And that is the Mcnasty its probably one of my favourite playboating tricks out there. I have a series of issues with learning this trick at first my coaches were just trying to get me into a back blast then we worked on my posture and the more technical parts of the trick. I have had a lot of progress in nailing this trick and as of this day, I have only successfully landed one staying in the hole.

Due to global and national shortages of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), YKHC and other hospital systems have experienced rationing of PPE by all vendors since early in the year. In response, since February, we began aggressively ordering and stockpiling PPE each and every day. That strategy has been very successful until our recent surge of COVID-19 that the YK Delta is now experiencing.
We are now down to a two-week supply of large and medium gloves. Last week, I asked Sen. Lyman Hoffman and ASHNHA Executive Director Jared Kosin to notify Governor Dunleavy's cabinet members about our PPE concerns. Joined by YKHC VP of Communications Tiffany Zulkosky, I requested a meeting with Alaska Unified Command. We had a productive meeting this morning and YKHC will be receiving additional PPE and Abbott ID Now testing supplies. We were also promised additional contact tracers by the State of Alaska to supplement YKHC's current team of contact tracers.
Earlier this week, I was also in contact with the Alaska Area Director of the Indian Health Service, who notified us that additional PPE and supplies from the IHS are now being shipped directly to YKHC from the national stockpile.
Quyana to Alaska DHSS Commissioner Adam Crum, Alaska Unified Command, and IHS Alaska Area Director Angel Dotomain for your leadership and quickly granting our PPE supply requests. Myself, YKHC's 1,300 employees, and our region's families thank you!
Dan Winkelman

About Rug Dating Part 1
It's nearly impossible to tell exactly when an undated rug was made, but getting it exactly right is really not important.
A few years doesn't make much difference to a rug's value or collectability. Generally, dating a rug within a quarter of a century will suffice. There is, however, one acceptation. If a rug is teetering on the edge between 'old' and 'antique' than accuracy is much more important. The reason for this is because the tax regulations in some countries make acceptations for items that are considered antiques.
One way of determining when a rug was made is by examining the pieces that make up the rug. This is done by carefully examining the rug's structure and design—which usually change over time—as well as its general appearance. Determining the age of a rug by its weave and design can only be done by an expert, as it requires extensive knowledge. It's also important to note that the appearance of a rug can be affected by many factors, not just its age. Just because a rug looks ragged does not necessarily mean that it is old.
It is much more reliable to determine the age of a rug by looking at how the colors have changed. As a rug ages, the colors become more mellow. This is caused by exposure to light and can take 20 to 50 years. By comparing the colors of the dye at the surface of the rug to those in the pile, you can roughly see how far the process has progressed. This is still not an exact method of dating, as the process is not only affected by the length of time the rug was exposed to light, but also by the intensity of the light source. However, if a rug has been chemically washed in order to subdue the colors of the dye, then the colors in the pile and on the surface will be the same.
Another distinct feature in older rugs is that certain pigments made from natural dyestuffs (generally used to make blacks, browns, and deep purples) have iron oxide in them. These erode the pile and create a charred appearance in certain areas of the design. Rugs with this effect can almost certainly be dated to before World War 2. It's important to note that this effect does not diminish the value of these rugs—in fact, many people find it to be attractive—but it is very rarely found in workshop rugs.

AOL Composes 'Fanfare' for Broadband
America Online has begun preliminary testing for a new product code-named "Fanfare," which will provide broadband subscribers with a next generation alternative to the classic AOL client software.
While Fanfare will initially emerge as an evolutionary improvement to AOL Communicator, the software is poised to become the vehicle that will deliver AOL's Open Client Platform initiative known as "Copland."
Fanfare is not AOL 10.0, and is separate from "Strauss" – a slimmed down version of AOL 9 Optimized. Rather, AOL deems the client, "a next-generation, advanced and completely customizable Web-based experience for AOL for Broadband members."
BetaNews has learned that Beta 1 of Fanfare will not sport the promised interface design changes that AOL has surreptitiously crafted for future iterations of the software. Instead, AOL will deploy the underpinnings of Copland and integrate AOL Media Player (AMP), AOL Spyware Protection, and AOL Calendar into the Communicator code base.
By incorporating AMP, AOL is establishing a digital media platform that will play and manage media files. Exclusive TimeWarner video content from Video@AOL, Sessions@AOL, as well as music videos, movie trailers and news feeds available through AMP are a sampling of things to come.
As part of its $750 million USD settlement with Microsoft, AOL gained rights to Microsoft's digital rights management (DRM) technologies for broader content distribution.
Microsoft has recently devised a secure clock DRM technology dubbed "Janus" that enables songs to be distributed under a subscription model and transferred to portable devices. AOL has hinted that its service features will be assessable even through "digital adapter devices," but America Online is under no obligation to utilize Janus in AMP.
When asked to clarify its position an AOL spokesperson told BetaNews, "The
overall goal of Fanfare is to provide a new type of service for our members across all facets of their online lives up to, and including, digital commerce. As such, we expect to offer best-in-class media discovery, playback, and management tools across all of the most popular media formats."
The Fanfare client's functionality is not restricted to digital media; the product that AOL has devised amounts to a hybrid media and communications platform. Communicator -- as its moniker suggests -- is a versatile communications tool featuring e-mail, an address book and instant messaging.
Fanfare shores up Communicator by introducing AOL Talk to enable live voice conversations among buddies. New e-mail views are intended to provide filtering across all mail accounts. System tray notifications for new e-mail messages and Personal Filing Cabinet (PFC) importation are also included.
Additionally, the Fanfare client will feature tabbed IM windows, integrated control over IM Expressions and a searchable address book for Buddy List contacts. Prior to Fanfare, it was necessary for users to switch to the AOL client software to personalize sounds and icons.
"Fanfare appears to be very much about communications and digital content for broadband users. The timing is right. Jupiter Research projects that by the end of this year more than one third of U.S. households will have broadband," senior Jupiter analyst Joe Wilcox told BetaNews.
"While Microsoft rightly touts new security features coming in Windows XP Service Pack 2, weaknesses remain. Apparently, with Fanfare, AOL is looking to solve the most glaring oversight, by providing its customers spyware protecting software," said Wilcox.
Another one of Fanfare's core attributes is its openness. The Copland project is the embodiment of AOL's move away from proprietary designs towards a standards-based infrastructure. The first call of the march away from what some critics described as the company's "walled garden" approach to software development has already been sounded.
AOL recently opened up its network e-mail access to third party IMAP compatible clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora.
Commenting on the sea of change that has taken place in its product strategy, an AOL spokesperson told BetaNews, "Regardless of members' computing patterns or their means of online navigation, AOL's goal is make it as easy as possible for each person to quickly and effortlessly find the things they need and want. And that means creating multiple products and options, so that each person has the right AOL service, product and Internet experience for their needs throughout the day."
Fanfare is being prepped for a 2005 release. Initially, Beta 1 of the client will limit its support to Windows XP and Windows 2000; however, later builds will support Windows 98 and Me. Support for Mac OS X is still pending.
Testing will also remain closed for the time being, according to the company. AOL is reaching out to approximately 15,000 members who have evaluated beta copies of Communicator elements in the past, but is expected to issue a public preview by the end of 2004.
The Fanfare preview edition is expected to showcase revamped interface designs that will not be present in Beta 1, and will be more feature complete.

My first attempt at brinance was in C++, and I put together a design document first, so take a gander there to see what I was going for. Even in the newer versions, the design still pretty much stands, as it mostly deals with the command-line interface and the file format. The file format is really the bread and butter of brinance.
At my brother's request, I added the feature of an interactive menu to this version. I didn't implement that feature in the Perl versions, since that's not how I wanted to use the program. So, in addition to the features listed in the design, we now have an interactive menu system, too, if you don't give the program any command-line arguments. Good fun. Unfortunately, the files it deals with are hard-coded, but set up properly when you
make install the program. By default, it throws it all in your user's
bin and
.brinance directories. Cheers!
It's bare-bones, but all that I want, and it works pretty flawlessly for me. I now use this instead of GNUCash. Thank you very much...
Download the old version (C++)
brinance-1.0.tar.gz - old release, curiosity's sake only.. Download from the 3.x series.
brinance-1.1.tar.gz - slightly newer.. This version writes the account file with the date style of 2.x and later versions (12 digit date).

text: I have renamed my MAXIMA port for CLISP. It is now called PUNIMAX. I had to do this because "Macsyma" is a registered trademark of Macsyma Inc. So please stop talking about Maxima, talk about Punimax instead. Peter Olsen <firstname.lastname@example.com> noticed about Maxima in Jan.94 CLISP: > Some of the commands work (mostly the directly numeric > ones) but others don't work at all --- with DESCRIBE, HELP, and > APROPOS being the most painful absences. > > This is probably due to catastrophic user failure No, this was caused by the change of the semantics of FUNCTIONP in the 1994-01-07 release of CLISP. This is fixed in the new PUNIMAX. README file for PUNIMAX PUNIMAX is a computer algebra system which runs in CLISP, a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible and Michael Stoll. It is based on MAXIMA, a Common Lisp implementation due to William F. Schelter at Texas University, which itself is based on the original implementation of Macsyma at MIT. This is *not* free software. Because the MIT Macsyma code is copyrighted. To use PUNIMAX or MAXIMA, you are required by US law to first obtain a license from D.O.E. or one of the commercial licensees, then use the ftp'able software as enhancements. Licenses can be obtained from the ESTC, Argonne Ill. Currently their charge for 1 machine is $165 to universities; site licenses are also available. Historically, this situation arose from disputes in the U.S. over the commercialization of partially-government-funded academic research. Various U.S. governmental orders in the mid-1980's affirmed the rights of universities to license such research results. You can then get the PUNIMAX software via FTP from ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de : /pub/math/punimax/punimax.tar.z . Bruno Haible email@example.com

The Camas City Council will accept public comment on Monday, March 7, regarding a proposal to reduce the number of days and hours fireworks are legal within city limits.
The changes that are part of a "preferred option" would make the legal use and sale period run from July 1 to July 3, from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and July 4 from 9 a.m. to midnight.
The proposal trims the usage period by a total of four days. Currently, for the Fourth of July holiday, sales and use are allowed from June 28 to July 5.
For the New Year's holiday, legal use days and times would be unchanged. Fireworks can be discharged Dec. 31, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., and sold from Dec. 27 to Dec. 31, from noon to 11 p.m., each day.
Although concern about misuse of fireworks has been brought to the attention of the City Council by citizens several times in the past, serious discussions about changing the city's regulations began in August 2010 after a Camas woman described her a suspicion that her horse's death in July occurred as a result of becoming spooked after hearing some loud fireworks. The horse later had to be put down.
Some council members agreed that use of fireworks during holiday celebrations has gotten out-of-hand. Others expressed concern that allowing a shorter sales period might impact the non-profit groups that sell fireworks as a means of fund-raising.
Police Chief Mitch Lackey has said that he believes more a restrictive law — like the one being proposed by Camas — could be successfully enforced.
"It's doable," he said. "With the public education we do, complaints are way down."
Camas's neighbor to the east has some of the strictest Fourth of July fireworks regulations in Clark County. As of 2009, in Washougal fireworks are only allowed to be discharged on July 4, from 9 a.m. to midnight. However, they can be purchased from June 28 to July 5.
The Camas City Council public hearing will be held March 7, during the 7 p.m. meeting at City Hall, 616 N.E. Fourth Ave.
If new rules are eventually approved by Camas City Council, the changes would take effect one year from adoption.

5 Social Distancing Tips to Improve the Patient Experience
As social distancing mandates are rolled out nationwide, providers must look for ways to address patient needs while staying compliant with state regulations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety surrounding health and financial security is particularly high, making it even more important for health systems to offer efficient, cost-effective payment and communication solutions to their consumers.
While healthcare facilities are urging patients to stay home and postpone non-urgent visits and requests, crucial administrative tasks must still be addressed. Telehealth services, electronic health records (EHR), and online payment portals are just a few of the tools that can help patients, insurance companies, and providers communicate efficiently during this time.
5 Tips for Improving the Patient Experience While Social Distancing
Creating a better user experience can help reduce patient anxiety and maintain productive relationships throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are five top tips to help you improve your current systems and provide a more efficient, thorough, and thoughtful service to your patients.
1. Telehealth Services
Telehealth services, as defined by the US Health Resources and Services Department, are "the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health, and health administration." By their very nature, these services are perfectly suited for situations like the one we face today. Healthcare providers can utilize telehealth systems to service patients who are isolated or unable to visit brick and mortar facilities.
Telehealth services include video conferencing, online portals, image storage, and forwarding services, as well as terrestrial and wireless communication. By using these tools, providers can address customer service requests, cultivate a more open dialogue with consumers, and assist patients in complying with social distancing mandates.
2. Electronic Health Records (EHR)
An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital copy of a patient's medical chart. It helps providers keep all medical inquiries, treatments, and charges current and accessible to multiple parties at the same time. EHRs can include data on diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, immunization dates, allergies, radiology images, and test results. Not only are EHRs updated automatically and, therefore, contain the most up-to-date data—they also allow providers and patients to view and update information remotely.
EHRs help providers reduce cross-departmental requests by having all of the patient's current data in one place, streamlining workflows and increasing efficiency. Patients can be given access to their own medical history, when applicable, helping them to clarify treatment breakdowns and review administered services. Transparency between providers and patients builds trust and generates long-standing relationships.
3. Automated Payment Plans
Automated payment plan solutions may help relieve some of the stress associated with recurring bills. As the market fluctuates, and traditional workplaces are rearranged, consumer schedules may be temporarily disrupted. Recurring payments make it easier for patients to focus on other, more pressing issues while ensuring all of their bills are paid on time and in full.
The healthcare industry is a constantly evolving marketplace. New trends and innovative technologies have the ability to improve experiences for all parties. A recent study found that 71% of patients want to receive electronic billing from their providers. However, only 17% of patients receive bills online. This trend highlights the public's desire for quick, online payment solutions prior to the COVID-19 pandemic but can also be a valuable resource during self-isolation. As more people are asked to stay home, the demand for online payment solutions is likely to increase.
By listening to these trends and making it easier for consumers to pay or commit to scheduled payment structures, you can improve out-of-pocket collection rates and help patients check one more task off their to-do list.
4. Self-Service Payment Options
Social distancing mandates have reduced the number of ways in which payments can be processed. Tasks that require in-person contact, such as visiting the post office or purchasing shipping supplies from brick and mortar stores may not comply with social distancing rules, forcing consumers to look for alternative ways to pay. By offering self-service solutions, such as mobile payments, Quick Response (QR) codes, and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology, providers can give patients the tools they need to pay wherever they are.
Consumer-focused tools allow patients to manage their finances quickly and efficiently on their own. Like online payment options, mobile devices enhance the ease and simplicity of completing a payment. A study conducted by Statista found that 29% of consumers want to pay their bills via a mobile phone. A further 39% of online consumers listed mobile payment solutions as the most efficient method. Through phone and tablet payment options, patients can complete tasks at any point in the day, reducing the time between notification and collection.
QR codes bridge the gap between online solutions and traditional paper billing. Adding a unique QR code to a paper billing statement can help patients quickly submit payments online. IVR technology can be used to clarify account details over the phone, allowing patients to stay home and comply with social distancing regulations.
5. Broaden Your Communication Channels
During times of uncertainty, patients may require additional clarification from providers and third-party billing services. Offering a range of communication channels can help facilitate these requests and give patients vital information on payments, treatments, and coverage quickly and efficiently.
A study conducted by Dynmark found that 90% of text messages are read in the first three seconds. Sending urgent updates via text helps providers reach patients in isolation while letting them know their concerns are being addressed.
Providing useful features to patients is a great way to enhance the patient-practice relationship. HITRUST-certified services can ensure electronic communications are sent safely and securely.
Social distancing mandates have caused a rise in remote digital solutions. Offering a range of cost-effective, easy-to-use payment and communication solutions during this stressful time can help improve the patient experience, build trust, and combat anxiety.

We've Got - A Six Ticks Brand
We do not sell your data or give it away in any way, shape, or form (unless to comply with the law) and we cannot access any of your media, contacts, messages, etc.
We may contact you if you have contacted us and there is functionality in the app for you to send in pictures and messages, but we cannot access anything on your phone unless you specifically send it in to us.
You will always have the option to unsubscribe/opt-out from communications.
There's nothing to worry about. As developers, it is annoying that these permissions are not more descriptive and some are even quite misleading.
To clarify, we do not collect any personally identifiable data and cannot access any files, information, etc on your device, unless you specifically chose to share it with us (E.g. signing up to our mailing list or sending in a selfie).
Here is a quick break-down of the privacy settings:
"We've Got" is a Six Ticks brand.
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Six Ticks Limited, we have a few fundamental principles:
Six Ticks Limited operates several websites including www.SixTicks.com and www.WeveGot.com (collectively, the "Websites"), as well as a number of mobile applications on behalf of our customers (collectively, the "Applications"). It is Six Ticks Limited's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our Websites and Applications.
Six Ticks Limited collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Six Ticks Limited's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Six Ticks Limited's visitors use its Websites and Applications and to provide the correct information in a format that can be easily utilised by visitors. From time to time, Six Ticks Limited may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate. For example, by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Websites or Applications.
Six Ticks Limited also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Six Ticks Limited, does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Certain visitors to Six Ticks Limited's Websites and users of Six Ticks Limited's Applications choose to interact with Six Ticks Limited in ways that require Six Ticks Limited to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Six Ticks Limited gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a social network at Six Ticks Limited to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Six Ticks Limited are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Six Ticks Limited collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor interaction with Six Ticks Limited. Six Ticks Limited does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Website-related and Application-related activities.
Six Ticks Limited may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its Websites and users of its Applications. For instance, Six Ticks Limited, may monitor the most popular social networks on the Six Ticks Limited site. Six Ticks Limited may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, this would only be in aggregate form (E.g. 70% of visitors log in via Facebook) and Six Ticks Limited, does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Six Ticks Limited discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Six Ticks Limited's behalf or to provide services available at Six Ticks Limited's Websites and Applications, (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others, and (iii) only under a legally binding agreement that prevents them from sharing the data further and from using the data for any other purpose (some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country). By using Six Ticks Limited's Websites and Applications, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Six Ticks Limited will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Six Ticks Limited discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Six Ticks Limited believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Six Ticks Limited, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of Six Ticks Limited Websites or Applications and have supplied your email address, Six Ticks Limited, may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what going on with Six Ticks Limited and our products. You will always have the option to unsubscribe/opt-out of communications. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.

Why the OIA just sent a letter to Trump
More than 350 businesses signed the letter asking the president to protect our lands.
Get access to everything we publish when you sign up for Outside+.
It's no secret that some of the proposed changes by the Trump administration are leaving the outdoor industry infuriated. On October 19, the Outdoor Industry Association wrote a letter to the commander in chief calling upon him to protect our nation's lands. More than 350 American companies signed this letter in hopes he would keep current protections for our land and water.
We talked with Alexander Boian, Vice President of Government Affairs and OIAPAC Treasurer for the Outdoor Industry Association and asked him some questions about this letter:
Q: What specific changes do you hope this letter achieves?
We hope this letter compels the president and his administration to pay more attention to the importance of protecting our nation's public lands to the health of our economy, our communities, and the health of our citizens.
Specifically, we would like to see President Trump support our nation's public lands rather than making decisions that will limit access and lower protections.
We want the president to be aware that the bipartisan Outdoor Industry is watching his decisions related to national monuments, the Antiquities Act, National Park Fees and other public land related issues and that the administration cannot simply gut public lands protections without a fight.
Q: Clearly the President has a lot on his plate. Is he listening or is this falling on deaf ears?
Anytime an entire industry writes a letter to the president, it's going to get noticed. We are only nine months into the president's term and the Outdoor Industry has definitely made a dent in the President's efforts to eliminate national monuments. The Chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee wanted him to go much further and eliminate Utah's monuments, but that is unlikely to be in the final announcement. That said, the president's actions have coalesced, galvanized our industry. Protecting public lands, preserving our American heritage should never have been something we needed to fight for, but fight we must, and fight we will.
Q: A lot of people might think that their electric signature on a petition has no real weight. Does it?
Absolutely it does. The letter itself was signed by leaders from across the industries, many from well-recognized brands.
The outdoor industry and outdoor recreation community – members, merchants, consumers and many, many others came out in the millions against this administration's threats against national monuments. Collectively, we produced these overwhelming numbers. This made a difference in that, to date, no monuments will be completely eliminated. It's a small win, but a win nonetheless.
The total comments on Regulations.gov about the monuments getting reduced was the largest with 2.8 million. And 98% were in favor of keeping the monuments. These numbers can't be ignored.
Q: What feedback have you received so far?
We had off the charts feedback on social media from members, supporters, others with many people asking what can I do to fight back and stand with you? In general though, the outdoor industry is extremely motivated to protect the public lands we all enjoy. This was our largest letter yet so I think that shows that outdoor businesses prioritized fighting to protect the places that are the backbone of the outdoor recreation economy, and they are willing to sign on to continue the drumbeat that the protection of public lands matters to our industry, America's long legacy of protecting our land, and speaks to the soul of the nation.

The 5 O'clock Shadow: December 24, 2021
The original artist was a founding member of a groundbreaking British folk-rock group in the late 1960s. He left after several years for a solo career, part of the time as a duo with his then-wife.
The shadow country rock band is led by two brothers from Idaho who relocated to Austin Texas in 1996. Due to the band's name they shouldn't use the device in the title of the song.
The song mentions a favorite color scheme.
