ON AIR - Sunday Night Live
with Shireen Langan
Dublin 2-09 Mayo 0-15
Cillian O'Connor played a captain's role for Mayo on Sunday as he scored a point 7 minutes into stoppage time to secure a replay with Dublin in the All Ireland Football Championship final.
Dublin led by 2-04 to 0-05 at half-time at Croke Park thanks to two first half own goals scored by Mayo inside the opening twenty minutes.
Kevin McLoughlin and Colm Boyle both put the ball into their own net handing the advantage to Dublin. Mayo keeper, David Clarke, made a great save from Brian Fenton on the 9th minute only for the ball to go in off McLoughlin. Boyle made it a second goal for the Dubs as he tried to clear a spilled ball from Dean Rock.
Kevin McManamon went close to scoring a third for the Dubs but Clarke was equal to his effort.
The Dubs lost James McCarthy to a black card before the half-time break for a third man tackle.
Mayo were quickest out of the traps in the second-half picking up five points without reply. Brian Fenton, Dean Rock, John Small and Diarmuid Connolly then helped Dublin move a couple of points clear.
Cillian O'Connor levelled it heading towards 70 minutes, the ref added on an extra seven minutes at the end which gave O'Connor time to seal another date with the Dubs for Mayo.
For the first time since 2000 and for only the fourteenth time in the history of the All-Ireland series the final ended in a draw. The replay will take place on Saturday, October 1st with a 5pm throw-in at Croke Park.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their support this pastweekend. For our first time, I feel we did very well. I have heard numerous compliments on the food. We estimate that we raised in excess of $800 that will be used to pay down the debt for the 50th Anniversary Fund. I would especially like to thank Tracy Helms for leading us through this first one and staying up all night cooking, the RHHS Band for letting us use their cooker, and all the men who came out to rub Butts and serve. I want to also thank the UMW who provided brownies for each meal. They were very good and greatly appreciated.
Look for us again next year, maybe even in the spring sometime.

I know why I don't like to eat genetically modified food: I don't know what it's going to do to me…or to my family.
In a rapidly expanding world where populations increase exponentially and natural resources are depleted in response to this rapid growth, it's hard to argue with innovations that could lead to the production of viable and sustainable options re the production of food, fuel and drinkable water.
Increasing percentages of these expanding populations are suffering from cancers, dementia and other diseases making it is hard to argue with innovations that could lead to treatment options whether it be stem cells or organ transplants. Who would have thought we'd welcome (with ooh's and aah's no less) an ear grown on the back of a mouse! We did.
A few years ago I read a book called Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. I don't know that I can recommend it entirely because I found it both confronting and uncomfortable . Over time I have come to realise it was almost prophetic in its foresight. Online executions, the explosion of internet porn and voyeuristic sex online and the outbreak of new viruses, to name but a few, appeared alongside creatures bred and modified, cloned and mutated for convenience or practicality.
Not all of these things exist only in the world of fiction. We see terrorist executions online, internet porn and leaked sex tapes are an everyday viewing option in thousands of homes and little boys are growing boobs because they are being fed meat that is so high in oestrogen.
How does all this fit in with Kazuo Ishiguro? He wrote a book called "Never Let Me Go." It deals, in a very human way, with the other side of a very topical debate.: How do we provide for the desperate need for healthy transplant organs for those fighting for their lives.
This book (and the movie of the same name) looks into the moral issues surrounding the issue of cloning and raises questions as to the very nature of the ethics by which a society chooses what it perceives to be the best course of action. Unfortunately, I can't really tell you too much without ruining the story, so you will have to watch it yourself…then let's have a really good chat about it, shall we?
If you thought the Nazi take on eugenics was wrong, if you can't imagine why cloning is an issue, if you found the movie The Island terrifying or fascinating, you'll find this book/movie food for thought. (warning, it is not GMO free and may contain traces of nuts.)

Hungry Husband: An Easy Aloo Tikki Burger Recipe to Satiate the Hungriest Appetite
By Ushi Patel
Aloo tikki is a universally loved snack among all my friends and family (Indian and non-Indian). We joke that it is the best chili or sauce delivery mechanism. It's also filling and a fun alternative for a hungry husband who thinks the only burger should be in the form of a, dare I say, cow.
You can add so many variations to this simple preparation to make it new and interesting every time. Here's the foundation recipe with some of our go-to twists. Get creative – anything goes!
Aloo Tikki Burger Recipe
Total Time
45 minutes
15 minutes
30-35 minutes (10-15 minutes to boil potatoes, 20 minutes to make Aloo Tikkis)
5 servings
2 medium or 1 cup, potatoes boiled and peeled
2 tablespoons rice powder (as a binder)
3 tablespoons corn flower (as a binder)
½ cup green peas boiled
1 clove garlic
1 Serrano Pepper (1 Thai chili if you like the heat)
¼ Sweet Onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil for shallow frying
¼ cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon corn flour
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Water as needed
Toasty Buns
5 burger buns (sesame are super yummy)
½ teaspoon butter
See variation options below for what to add to this base.
Step 01
Boil potatoes and peel the skin. I like to grate the potatoes rather than a straight mash to avoid that strange gluey or sticky consistency that happens as starch is released from mashing.
Step 02
Add the ground rice powder and corn flour and mix with a spoon. This action will soak up some of the excess moisture from the potatoes. That's a good thing!
Step 03
Add boiled peas and spices. Mix and keep aside.
Step 04
Take breadcrumbs and toast lightly on low heat for 5 minutes in skillet. Stir to avoid burn. Then put in a bowl and cool for another 5 minutes. They will become crunchy.
Step 05
In a separate bowl, add corn flour, paprika, cumin and salt. Then add water to make a thin liquid. Usually takes about 6-8 tablespoons of water for the right consistency.
Step 06
Create an assembly line with your 3 bowls of goodness. Bowl #1 is the potato mixture, bowl #2 is the liquid, and bowl #3 are the now crunchy breadcrumbs. Place your skillet on medium high heat and add 1 teaspoon of oil.
Step 07
While oil is heating, make a round patty with the potato mixture, dip in liquid, and then the breadcrumbs. Place patty on the hot skillet.
Step 08
Lower heat and fry patty until color is golden brown on one side. Flip and do the same for the other side. Repeat process for remaining four patties.
Step 09
Add butter to skillet and toast buns on each side. Place patty on bun and serve with traditional ketchup, Sriracha, or Mexican Yum Sauce for a classic version. Or try some variations below.
Habanero Slaw (pictured above)
Green and red cabbage thinly sliced, finely chopped cilantro, sweet onion and bell pepper with a small ½ habanero, garlic and lime. During prep, combine all the slaw ingredients in a large bowl with the lime. Set aside until Aloo Tikkis are cooked.
The Southern Indian
Caramelized onion, sweet pickle relish, mayo and ketchup.
The Indian, Indian
Add chole or channa masala, finely chopped thai chili, onions and cilantro.
El Capitan
Add guacamole and Jalapeños (or chipotle if you fancy, sub pica de gallo for traditional tomato, onion and lettuce).
Farmer Style
Add an over easy egg
The Philly
Add sautéed onions, mushrooms and red bell pepper
Yes, please! Cheddar, Gruyere, Blue, Jack…anything goes. Choose what you love, it's potato madness after all.

This is an area where the benefits of using sound to release stress for humans had some very (for me) unexpected results.
The first time I witnessed this, it was in the realm of "if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd have been very skeptical".
As I considered it further, after those first astonishing results, it only made sense to me. Animals who are bonded with a human feel the connection very deeply.
They pick up how we're feeling – that's why, when we're sad or upset, they come to comfort us. And when we're feeling exuberant or joyous, they get very excited too.
Seems to me, that's why we get an animal companion – to experience the deep connection and unconditional loving that domesticated animals bring into our lives.
At some level, we all crave this kind of connection. For almost all of us, unconditional loving isn't something we learned from our parents or indeed, from other humans…
It's something many of us, who love animals, come to find with our animal companions. Sometimes.
But what happens when an animal is stressed? Stressed by past experiences – like living on the streets, or in a puppy mill, or through other difficult life experiences? What can you do when you love your animal… but feel frustrated and stressed by some of their behavior?
Maybe you've tried to love them out of it, to ignore it, to shout about it. And/or maybe you've tried reading books, watching assorted animal behaviorists on t.v., tried different behavior therapies, talking to the vet (and anyone else who'll listen)…
We all want to have loving, satisfying relationships with our animal friends. That's why we got them. When this doesn't happen the way we expected, it's stressful for us too. And we already have other stressors in our lives.
These sound healing tools seem to offer a way for you to clear your stress… and for your animal friend, who is tuned into your stress, to also experience relief. Turns out, it's as simple and straightforward as listening to your balancing tones (see here for what this means and how it works).
In this area of the testimonials, check out some of the experiences others with animals have reported:

They are called learning disabilities or disorders because they are disfunctions that compromise the essential characteristics of students' cognitive processes and behavior.
Photo: Bigstock
Learning disabilities (LD) can present as a combination of different disorders. In fact, the presence of just one disorder can favor the development of others, especially if they are not treated promptly and thoroughly, a phenomenon called comorbidity. Even though no cure has been found for these disabilities, they can be controlled by sufferers, reaching significant levels of self-regulation (CPIR, 2016). They are called learning disabilities or disorders because they are disfunctions that compromise the essential characteristics of students' cognitive processes and behavior. The most commonly used definition of learning disability is the persistent, unexpected and specific inability to efficiently acquire certain academic skills, such as reading, writing, arithmetic calculations, reasoning and drawing, among others, since they disrupt and hinder the functioning of students' age-appropriate capabilities (Diéguez and Álvarez, 2010). These skills are not associated with the individual's intellectual potential, but with their capacity to work.
"Learning disorders limit the efficient acquisition of certain academic skills, such as reading, writing, mathematical calculation, reasoning, drawing, among others."
A study conducted by The National Center for Learning Disabilities, in 2017, identified that two-thirds of students who were suspended or expelled from school in 2015 and 2016 have some form of learning disability, and that half of the students in the same study who have a learning disability had been involved with the US justice system as young offenders. Moreover, 33% of teachers surveyed and other educators consider that what people call "a learning or attention issue" is very often simply laziness.
The school is under an obligation to disclose that we are facing a public health situation, since there are learning-associated neuropathologies, without intervention, affecting children's mental health, school performance and social behavior, to the extent that children accept that they are "guilty'", "incapable" or "dropouts". This complicates the situation and turns it into a social problem, since young people resent a society that unwittingly predisposed them to failure and, incapable of acting assertively, they drop out of school. In addition to this, they face uncertainty, loneliness and a breeding ground for crime, created to make them produce until they become social offenders. Nobody takes responsibility for this issue, favoring improvisation by and the intervention of, at times, overqualified professionals and therapists who provide hurried diagnoses; uncontrolled pharmacological treatments; and disarticulated interventions by schools, all of which in no way guarantees success.
"For those who have a clinical history of learning disabilities, it is difficult to manage self-control, following instructions, completing tasks and establishing social relationships. Many of them are students with low self-esteem and a tendency toward isolation."
An estimated 65% of students with LD are linked to dyslexia and attention deficit disorders and 20% of children with dyscalculia also suffer from attention deficit disorder with cognitive responses that do not match their intellectual potential or the school and family support they receive (Diéguez and Álvarez, 2010).
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) establishes 13 categories to refer to learning disabilities, including non-incapacitating disorders and disorders in the classroom, such as Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), Nonverbal Learning Disorders (NVLD) and other health impairments:
1) Specific Learning Disabilities
This group encompasses dyslexia, difficulty in learning to read and write. It affects between 10 and 17% of children, while an estimated 80% of children with learning disabilities are dyslexic. Dysgraphia is the inability to write coherently related to fine motor skills and hand and arm muscle coordination. Dyscalculia or difficulty in learning mathematics, processing mathematical language; ordering, recognizing, remembering numbers; and associating the components of a problem with the solution.
2) Nonverbal Learning Disorders
The disorders classified in this group include auditory processing and nonverbal language disabilities, considered by (Johnson and Myklebust, 1967) as an ''inability to understand the social environment and nonverbal communication, such as gestures, facial expressions and caresses, even though an individual has verbal skills and normal intelligence." Other authors such as (Narbona 2009) call it Procedural Learning Disorder and it affects 1 in 10 children with LD (Rourke, 1995).
3) Other disorders or health impairments
This group includes Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which is not considered as a Specific Learning Disability, but is frequently associated with almost all the other learning disorders (Fundación CADAH, 2012).
Dealing with children who have a learning disability requires responsibility and knowledge that go beyond advice and regulations that are sometimes impossible for those who have a clinical history of these disorders to fulfill, because it prevents them from managing their self-control, following instructions, completing tasks and establishing social relationships. Many of them are students with low self-esteem and a tendency toward isolation. These students need teachers who view learning as a multifactorial process (Restrepo, 2014), whose outcome depends not only on implementing methodologies applied to the epistemologies of academic areas, but also on stimulating the brain structures involved in learning. They need teachers who can recognize that knowledge production is a physiological result of the brain and achieving it depends on the brain's physical and organic state (Manes, 2016).
Specific Learning Disabilities can be identified when students show repeated disabilities on performing age-appropriate tasks. At that moment, teachers should implement specific strategies that will help to identify the nature of the problem and, if it persists, refer the student to an occupational therapist who will decide whether other specialists need to be involved. Receiving professional training in addressing these situations and supporting students is a priority.

WristbandConnection.com is announcing the pending completion and launch of its newest personalized wristband product line - QR Coded Silicone Wristbands or simply QR Code Bands™.
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) April 12, 2011
WristbandConnection.com, a company known for personalizing silicone wristbands and popular awareness products, such as "Don't Text and Drive" thumb rings,Texting Kills Thumbrings and "Band Against Bullying" wristbands, is announcing the pending completion and launch of its newest and most exciting personalized silicone wristband product line - QR Coded Silicone Wristbands or simply QR Code Bands™.
This exciting new product make use of the fantastic QR (Quick Response) Bar Code technology which came out of Japan many years ago, but is still very new to America in the ways it is used. If you have not already seen these cool looking little codes, we are sure you will start seeing them in movie posters, ads and food labels soon. They are so unique in that they allow a multitude of data to be placed in an area that would never allow printed words to be. WristbandConnection.com's online QR Code Bands™ design tool will allow customers to create their own personalized QR Code which will then be embedded into a special Patent Pending silicone wristband which makes it easy to read the code and protects the code from wear for years to come. The QR Code can even be combined with other messages and artwork which can be printed onto the wristband.
To the naked eye a QR Code looks like a distorted image, but in reality they are mobile phone-readable 2D barcodes containing advertisements, text based information, a website URL, an email address, phone number, or a pre-formatted SMS message. The QR Code Bands™ can store an unbelievable 1,700+ characters of detailed information!
WristbandConnection.com CEO, Victor Rey states "Connecting people is in our name and we are taking personalized silicone wristbands to the next level! Using QR Code technology on our Patent Pending 1 inch wide wristbands, the QR Code wristbands, will allow anyone with a "smart"-enabled phone to decode the message or be transported directly to a URL etc."
Links to Facebook, Twitter, You Tube or a website, personal messages, favorite phrases or passages, personal or business contact information, VIP access or other types of information can be stored and selectively shared! Imagine someone asking for your Facebook page, you simply present your wristband and with a snap of an iPhone or other QR Reader enabled mobile device, they are instantly connected! Can you see this? Kids and people of all ages will love it. Parents will love them when sending the kids on field trips or to camp, because they can create bands that store all types of contact and emergency info. Marketers can use these to promote new products and websites. The uses are endless and we have the technology to make it available on wristbands right now!"
Rey also states that "What makes these different than other applications of QR Codes is that people can wear them, and they are as much a personal statement as they are a fashion accessory and information tool. The QR Code Bands™ will expand upon the personal expression of wristbands. We feel this is the perfect way to "personalize" QR Code technology and make it not only fun, but maybe even a useful part of our everyday lives. "
With clients such as AT&T, Google, OfficeMax, Coca-Cola, UPS, and American Express, WristbandConnection.com is sure to see some great exposure and create new marketing plans for others with this product.
Did you know? A QR Code is a two-dimensional bar code which was created by the Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. Denso-Wave has not exercised its patent rights, thus allowing the technology to be freely shared and used. It's just another way that the Japanese have made our world a better place. WristbandConnection.com will donate $1.00 from every QR Code Bands™ sale to the American Red Cross - Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami disaster relief fund.

At least one person was killed and 19 others were injured Saturday when a car rammed into a group of counter-protesters during the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va.
Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer tweeted that he was "heartbroken that a life has been lost here" and urged "all people of good will [to] go home."
Earlier, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller told Fox News that three vehicles had collided in downtown Charlottesville. Geller added that the car seen backing away with a smashed hood in the above video had been located.

Box Office: Not Many Call Ghostbusters
Meh reviews, meh box office, but McKinnon (far right) is getting good notices.
Paul Feig's womencentric "Ghostbusters" isn't exactly a bust, raking in $46 million at the domestic box office this weekend, a bigger opening than any of his other movies ("Bridesmaids," "The Heat," "Spy"), but it's not exactly a smash. "Ghostbusters" is supposed to be big. The original took in a domestic total of $610 million (adjusted) in 1984, while this version didn't even win the weekend. It finished second to the second weekend of "The Secret Life of Pets," which fell only 50% to gross another $50 mil. Hell, in the genre "Horror comedy," "Scary Movie 3" opened bigger in 2003: $48 mil. That's unadjusted.
"Scary Movie 3" also barely grossed twice that ($110) while Feig's movies tend to have legs, grossing four times (or in the case of "Bridesmaids," six times) their opening total. So we'll see. The movie got a positive 73% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which would help, but most reviews were of the "Could've been worse" variety, which won't. But SNL's Kate McKinnon is getting good notices. I'm sure I'll see it at some point.
"The Legend of Tarzan," in third place with $11.1, crossed the $100 million mark to $103, with $90 mil in foreign sales, so it's not doing poorly for a poorly reviewed film that never finished in first place.
Meanwhile, "Finding Dory" grossed another $11.1 for a $445 million total, which makes it, according to Box Office Mojo, not only the highest-grossing Pixar movie ever but the highest-grossing animinated movie ever, passing "Shrek 2"'s $441. That's unadjusted, of course. Adjust, and it's still Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves," which is the 10th-best of all time at $935 million. Even so, impressive for "Dory," which I found B-level Pixar.
For the year, "Dory"'s on top domestically, while worldwide it's still "Captain America: Civil War" at $1.15 billion. But since "Finding Nemo" grossed $936 worldwide in 2003, I expect "Dory" to eventually pass Cap here, too.

Web Collaboration/
Review of services and products for full-featured Web conferencing, teleconferencing, and remote control that offer alternatives to face-to-face meetings.
New technologies and the Web give you a bewildering set of options for enhancing how you confer with clients and others. Teleconferencing has become much less expensive and more effective when combined with Web conferencing or videoconferencing. Web conferences allow participants to see or work on the same computer screen live. Videoconferencing remains more expensive and technologically daunting, but is becoming more practical.
Online Meeting
Tip: Conferencing over the Internet requires the use of IP addresses, which can be either fixed or dynamically assigned. If you have a dynamic IP address, make sure the product or service you want to use will work with your changing address. Pay services like www.dynip.com or www.tzo.com allow your dynamic address to appear fixed for a modest monthly charge. www.dyndns.org offers the service for free.
Table of Contents
Remote Control One-to-One.. 3
Time-Shifted Communication and Collaboration.. 9
Practice Management Applications.. 11
Tried and true teleconferences have significant limitations, but they also have their place. In addition to the obvious advantage of communicating nuances through intonation, live conversation permits the highly interactive exchange of ideas. For brainstorming and decision-making, teleconferencing is superior to exchanging E-mails and electronic documents.
Teleconference fees and long distance charges need not be a deterrent at least within the U.S. and Canada. With a low cost-per-minute calling card, you can call from any U.S. phone, not just your office phone, for 6.9 cents per minute with no minimum and no monthly fee. See: www.accuchat.com.
Headsets and Speakerphones
A good headset is as important as a properly fitting chair for your health, comfort, and endurance while teleconferencing. It is important to get over the psychological block that some lawyers have about wearing a headset. These days it is a sign of an up-to-date professional. Important features: volume control and mute.
Speakerphones vary widely in their sound quality and their ability to handle multiple people speaking at once. Be sure you listen to someone else talking on your new speakerphone before the money-back return period expires. Remember that a headset is far better than a speakerphone for a single user. A good source is www.hellodirect.com.
You can set up a multi-caller teleconference at no extra charge through www.freeconferencecall.com. Participants dial a non-800 number and enter a 6-digit code that you obtain from the Web site and distribute before the call. Each caller pays his or her own long distance rate. You do not need to reserve time the call in advance.
Advertising the lowest teleconferencing rates in the industry, RemoteLink charges per person per minute without setup or other charges. You schedule the call using a Web page. The cost is $0.15 per person per minute for toll-free dial in, including long distance charges within the continental US. Their service includes a variety of useful conference call features not provided by the free services. See www.remotelink.com for a listing.
Wireless Phones
If you are highly available to your clients by telephone, they may feel more comfortable working with you regardless of how far away you are or how infrequently you are able to meet with them face-to-face.
Many wireless phones now have sound quality indistinguishable from regular telephones. An earpiece and microphone can improve sound quality and free up your hands.
Remote Control One-to-One
You can enhance the effectiveness of a telephone conversation or teleconference by sharing the same computer screen. Remote control services and software, like well-know pcAnywhere, allow one person to view and optionally control another computer across the Internet or by a dial-up connection.
Remote control and Web conferencing often have overlapping features. One-to-one remote control allows one person to view and control another computer across the Internet. Other features may be available as well, such as text chat and file transfer. For a shared session in which several people or a large group can see the same screen, see the next section on Web conferencing.
Remote Control Services
Several services charge a monthly fee for the ability to connect to another PC across the Internet. They are much easier to set up than remote control software and cost more. These services can go through firewalls at one or both side of a connection without requiring special settings. Their installation process, if any, is simpler than installing and configuring remote control software.
DesktopStreaming is a Web-based application that enables organizations to support their clients and staff through remote viewing and control of computers over the Internet. Because it is completely Web-based, there is no software to install on client or staff machines. The technology works with any software and supports all major platforms including Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac. The monthly cost is significant, but so is the set of included features. www.desktopstreaming.com
WebInteractive is another remote control product with a variety of features for communicating with others online, monitoring a remote PC, and managing a queue of requests for assistance. What separates it from the competition is its purchase option. You can buy the software, or software pre-installed on a server, and pay no monthly charges. For firms that embrace the concept of working together apart and use the product extensively, the return on investment is rapid. www.linktivity.com
GoToMyPC does a good job of connecting through firewalls without requiring users to know how to change firewall settings. It allows one user to control a particular PC across the Internet through a secure, private connection. The subscription cost is lower than DesktopStreaming, but it works only with one host PC on which the software is installed. To access another computer, another subscription for that computer is required. Because Web browser software is used to control the host PC, you can use GoToMyPC anywhere you find a computer connected to the Internet. A subscription costs $179.40 to provide access to one PC and is less when purchasing the service for multiple PCs. www.GoToMyPC.com
eBlvd.com offers a service very similar to GoToMyPC. is a peer-to-peer service licensed on a per-PC basis. For $119.95 per year, a subscriber can make his or her computer screen viewable and controllable from another computer over the Internet. Because of its peer-to-peer nature, eBlvd often works faster and more smoothly than most of its competitors. www.eblvd.com
Remote Control Software
pcAnywhere has a long history of allowing remote control of another computer over telephone lines and, more recently, over the Internet. Here again, users may need to open particular ports in their Internet firewalls and may not be able to connect through certain kinds of Internet connection sharing technologies. Its price is often discounted and significant rebates are available with proof of ownership of an earlier version. Earlier versions are available at bargain prices over the Internet. www.symantec.com/pcanywhere
VNC is free software that allows remote control of another PC over the Internet or a network. Made available under the GNU General Public License by AT&T Laboratories, Cambridge, England, it performs more slowly that some of the commercially available software packages. It features are limited; for example, it does not support the transfer of files between connected computers. Its documentation is a bit confusing. It has no capability to deal with users who have dynamic IP addresses, short of determining the address each time a connection is desired. www.uk.research.att.com/vnc
UPDATE (2017-07-27): See a review of VNC applications and comparison to VPNs here:
A tip of the hat to Ellen Fisher of Comparitech.
Web Conferencing
A variety of services and software packages are available to connect to clients and others across the Internet. Web conferencing allows multiple people to view the same screen across the Internet.
Web conference features can include:
·Program or application sharing Participants watch the computer screen of the presenter, sometimes with a remote control option
·Whiteboards Participants can write on or highlight text or images on a shared computer screen
·Text Chat -- Participants can send text messages back and forth while viewing a shared computer window
·Voice-over-IP (VOIP) Participants with computer speakers and microphones or computer headsets can see a shared window and talk with each other over the Internet
·File transfer Files may be exchanged between computers
In the past, it was necessary to install special software or go through sometimes elaborate preparations to set up a Web conference. Preliminary steps may still be required. But now they have become simpler in many cases, easing the burden on the people with whom you want to meet, especially with the pricier services.
Web Conferencing Services
The services listed here do not burden meeting participants with the task of installing a separate software package. Authorized users can join a meeting without going through the hit-and-miss process of receiving software through the mail or downloading it from a Web site and then installing it. On the other hand, these services require the payment of on-going subscription fees.
Webex is an Internet service that supports a wide range of virtual meeting and Web conferencing features. The people you invite to the conference do not need to install anything and can connect easily from behind most firewalls. Fixed monthly costs can run into the hundreds of dollars. www.webex.com
eBlvd.com Online Meeting
eBlvd Online Meeting offers the least expensive Web conferencing service. Meetings can be public or private. Participants can log in via a Web screen or receive E-mailed invitations with a link to click on to join a meeting. Through clever technology, eBlvd has overcome limitations relating to dynamic IP addresses and done away with adjusting settings on the subscriber's firewall. By making using of peer-to-peer functions, the bandwidth requirements are reduced so that even dial-up Internet users can participate in a conference and high-speed subscribers experience fast performance. ENC Technology Corp www.eblvd.com 760-602-5202
WebDemo from www.linktivity.com offers Web conferencing both as monthly subscription and as software that you can buy. The monthly costs using other services can easily exceed the purchase price for this many-featured tool. It provide a clear interface for granting or denying control of the mouse and keyboard to one or more people. WebDemo allows both one-directional presentations and interactive use of any software on the host computer. WebDemo provides a resizable viewing area so that the meeting host can reveal one window to the participants while preparing another window for display or taking notes. A conflict between MS Java and Sun Java gave us some problems, but we expect this to be fixed in a future upgrade. Pricing has recently become affordable for small teams.
Switchnotes brings people together to compose and revise documents over the Internet. In Switchnotes you can browse and open a Word document that will be replicated to all users whom you have invited to a session. You can edit, negotiate, resolve or finalize the document over the Internet. The moderator in a Switchnotes session can shift at the click of a single button. The company behind Switchnotes has paid a great deal of attention to security, safeguarding the moderator's computer against unauthorized access. www.switchnotes.com
Web Conferencing Software
Microsoft NetMeeting is free; however, to use it your clients must install and configure the software. www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting Setting up NetMeeting and some similar products to work through a firms Internet firewall can be daunting. A number of third party services work with NetMeeting to overcome some of its limitations.
Videoconferencing options fall into two general categories: Dedicated videoconferencing services and Internet videoconferencing. The former tends to be expensive whereas the latter usually suffers more from performance problems.
CUSeeMe is a consumer-oriented service offering low-end Internet videoconferencing. Targeted at in formal chatting, CUSeeMe requires that you and each participant install the proprietary CUSeeMe software. In addition, you will need an inexpensive Web camera or Webcam. If you do not have a fixed IP address, you can still participate in conferences if you and the person initiating the conference both have Microsoft Messenger accounts. www.cuseemeworld.com
ViaVideo At last, a product priced for solos and small firms delivers reasonable videoconferencing over high speed Internet connections. Polycoms ViaVideo with Web prices around $400, is an affordable option.
For good performance you will want to have 512 K Internet connections at both ends of the connection and both upstream and downstream. You can, however, connect at lower speeds down to 128 K, but do not bother with dial-up modem connections.
Though ViaVideo makes a big jump forward in quality, the Internet itself can cause unfortunate slowdowns. You may find that certain times, such as mid-mornings, are problematic and therefore schedule your videoconferences outside of peak Internet traffic times. Polycom www.polycom.com/products/viavideo.html
Time-Shifted Communication and Collaboration
Teleconferences and live virtual meetings can go a long way toward cementing relationships with distant clients. Other important methods for interacting are time-shifted communication and collaboration. Like VCRs that allow you to watch a program at a time of your choosing, these technologies can allow you and your clients to cooperate even though you are working at different times.
While many of us view E-mail as both a curse and a blessing, it enables us to communicate to each other in the spaces between other work commitments. Unfortunately, E-mail is inherently disorganized. Better technologies exist for accomplishing specific kinds of work. We recommend that that you consider other approaches first before resorting to E-mail. You will still find plenty of opportunities to send E-mail messages.
An extranet serves to extend a part of your office network to your clients. Security measures limit your client's access to the folders and information you specify.
Popular uses of extranets by lawyers and clients include the storage and exchange of documents. Because the original can be maintained in an extranet folder, you can avoid much of the confusion that arises from the proliferation of E-mail attachments.
An extranet allows your clients to retrieve information you want them to have at times that they find convenient. You can give clients a greater sense of control and knowledge with respect to the legal matters you are handling for them.
Groupware and Collaboration Systems
Software and services that facilitate collaboration take the power of an extranet one step further. A simple extranet allows the posting of notices and the storage and exchange of documents. A collaboration application can include much more:
·Threaded discussions
·Color coding for read and unread material
·Address books
·Dynamic databases
·Application sharing
·Joint document editing
·Text, voice or video chat
Lotus Notes established the groupware category and still offers a highly rated set of tools. The learning curve for Notes is long, but it can generate big payoffs. www.lotus.com
Groove sets a new standard for affordability and features. As software priced under $100 per user, it is within the reach of low-budget teams. Groove shines as a collaborative environment that supports both working together on editing text and working unplugged from the Internet. www.groove.net
Free Groupware: dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Groupware/Open_Source
Practice Management Applications
Working at a distance with clients using a variety of technologies can be confusing. In order to keep track of electronic files, login names, passwords, matter notes, E-mail messages, contact information, appointments and due dates, you can use practice management software designed for the busy life of a lawyer. Here we focus on some practice management features that are especially important for collaborating with clients.
Synchronization is a key to taking your practice management information with you. This capability is vital for keeping you touch with clients at different times of the day and in different locations. Time Matters and Amicus Attorney both synchronize with laptop computers, Microsoft Outlook, and Palm, CE and MS PocketPC handheld organizers. You can make changes to information when you are not plugged into the network, then synchronize the changes to the main database later on.
Network Unplugged shines as the leading software for synchronizing files between locations. Available in versions for individual users as well as for multiple offices, this product line can keep everyone on the same page with the latest versions of documents and other files. www.mobiliti.com
Remote Access
Time Matters World Edition As Internet technology progresses at an alarming rate, companies are scrambling to take advantage of new capabilities. In the area of remote access, Time Matters has jumped into the lead with its new World Edition. Leveraging Microsoft's database server and Web server, both available in the Small Business Server 2000, the World Edition allows full access to all the screens and lists through a Web browser. This means that practice management information can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet within restrictions set by the law firm and protected by tight security.
Time Matters World Edition
Other practice management software products currently offer limited access to stored information over the Internet and are certain to increase their capabilities in order to compete with Time Matters. For example, Amicus Attorney lets users retrieve some information by sending E-mail messages to a special address, triggering a reply E-mail from the Amicus Attorney database.
Security is obviously a concern whenever the Internet is involved. Both Time Matters and Amicus Attorney have strong security measures that protect against unauthorized access.

Do not lose sight of how important face-to-face contact can be. There really is no perfect substitute for being there, especially at the beginning of a relationship and at critical junctures. Since you cannot always work face-to-face and it would not be cost-effective in any event, you will serve your clients, colleagues and yourself by adopting and learning technologies that bring you closer together. In addition to reducing the headaches and expense associated with travel, you can offer more frequent, more responsive and more effective representation through the use of virtual meetings, time-shifted communication, and practice management tools.

Badminton Australia encourages participation and active involvement of people with a disability, and for all Clubs/Associations to foster para-badminton activities and development. Badminton is enjoyed internationally by millions of people of all ages and abilities, and develops both fundamental physical skills and life skills. Para-Badminton caters to all, as it is a sport for social participation and for those who desire to represent Australia at a competitive level. People with physical (Appendix 1) or intellectual (Appendix 2) disabilities can play badminton in singles, doubles or mixed doubles. It is a sport that explores speed changes, reaction time demands, muscular strength and endurance challenges, and is heart-pumping fun.
Badminton has been part of the Special Olympics World Summer Games since 1995 and will be included in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Summer Games sports programme, which puts the sport in an exciting time to educate and unite communities, and improve quality of lives through sport.
In para-badminton, athletes are classified into "Sport Classes" to ensure fairness in competition. In para-badminton there are six Sport Classes. Every athlete is classified into one of the six Sport Classes before they can compete at an international level. This ensures that athletes compete in groups which take into account how their physical impairment affects their performance as a badminton player.
In para-badminton, the classification process involves a medical examination and some badminton activities to show the classifiers what badminton movements and shots are easy or more difficult for the athlete. The Minimal Impairment Criteria for each of the Sport Classes is described in the BWF Classification Regulations. There are also opportunities to get involved in badminton's classification program.
- Wheelchair Sport Class (WH1): Players with impairments in both lower limbs and trunk function (eg. spinal injury, scoliosis, multiple sclerosis)
- Wheelchair Sport Class (WH2): Players with impairments in one or both lower limbs and minimal or no impairments of the trunk (eg. spina bifida, above knee amputation)
- Standing Sport Class (SL3): Players with impairments in one or both lower limbs and poor walking/running balance (eg. above knee amputation, double below knee amputation, cerebral palsy)
- Standing Sport Class (SL4): Players with lesser impairments compared to SL3 (eg. below knee amputation, cerebral palsy, hip dysplasia, leg length differences)
- Standing Sport Class (SU5): Players with impairments of the upper limbs (eg. upper limb amputation, upper limb deficiency)
- Short Stature Class (SS6): Players with genetic short stature condition, often referred to as 'dwarfism'
All para-badminton players access the sport through a Club or Association in their State/Territory, and develop their skills in a similar pathway to able-bodied players on the FTEM framework.
Badminton Australia offers Provisional Classification (for anyone participating in club, school, or regional level) and National Classification (for anyone competing at state or national level championships). Badminton World Federation offers International Classification for anyone competing at international level events. The following Masterlist contains all para-badminton participants with a classification.
The Australian Para-Badminton Committee is responsible for raising awareness within and outside the badminton community about the needs of people with a disability and for communicating to Clubs/Associations on ways to include people with a disability. The 2018 Australian Para-Badminton Committee members are:
- Marianne Loh (Program Manager)
- Paul Kern (Board Member)
- Ian Bridge
- Kay Coady
Their objectives include:
- Develop a network of people with a disability in badminton;
- Encourage the active participation of people with a disability in our sport incorporating modified rules and classifications to ensure fairness and safety;
- Seek funding for badminton programs for people with a disability so that good practice models can be developed and shared across our sport;
- Liaise with State/Territory Associations and their Clubs/Associations to raise awareness of the needs of people with a disability and ways to include people with a disability.
- Liaise with stakeholders (eg. Badminton World Federation, Disability Sport Australia, Australian Paralympic Committee) to encourage participation of badminton players at international events;
- Review Badminton Australia policies and procedures to ensure they are relevant to the needs and aspirations of people with disability in our sport;
- Develop an annual plan of activities, including outcomes and detailing the proposed budget required to meet these outcomes;
- Meet regularly to plan and review progress towards planned outcomes;
- Provide recommendations to Badminton Australia Staff/Board, and liaise with other Badminton Australia Committees to achieve shared outcomes.

Headed into a Great Future/
Nearly a decade ago, I started SlatyBeliever.com because I felt like material I was learning in seminary should be made available to others without the need to go broke. So I started sharing stuff from my papers and reviews of books I was reading at the time. I wasn't qualified to teach, nor was I the best source, but there wasn't much out there, and I was thrilled to do something to change that. That was nearly a decade ago, and by the grace of God, I still enjoy making resources available (even if my doctoral work bogged me down for a season).
Jared Jenkins and I started "Salty Believer Unscripted" as a way to share conversations among pastors and ministers that the Jiffy-Lube Joe wasn't often wasn't able to take part. We felt like those conversations should be extended to anybody interested, so we started recording them. We've had many remarkable guests along the way and I hope to have many more. I'm also thrilled that Brett Ricley has picked up hosting responsibilities with me in this journey and will help me carry this podcast well into the future.
From time to time, I posted videos resources, but not as many as I would have liked. If possible, I would love to have so many resources available that bible study teaches, ministers, missionaries, pastors, and many others might have ample training available on this site and that the training would greatly help them for the work of ministry. Brett and I are working on a plan for more.
So I'm elated that we've made website and equipment upgrades. As I finish my doctoral work soon, I hope to post more videos, more articles and book reviews, more podcast, and even some live-streaming events so you can join in the conversation. And I hope to bring other guest writers onboard.
I beg that you will keep this ministry in your prayers. We would love to have more podcast guests, more opportunities to help equip the saints for the work of ministry, and more financial resources to do even more. I hope you might consider partnering in prayer with us at SaltyBeliever.com. You might also consider helping us out by subscribing to our YouTube channel and podcast feed. Like us on Facebook and keep up with what we're doing. We'd also love to hear from you. How might we improve what we're doing to with this ministry?
Thanks for your support and prayers over the years!

text: Hillcrest Baptist Church on the Westside went all out for its Christmas celebration this year.One night just wasn't enough, so they held it over three nights, Dec. 12 to 14.The celebration included a Storybook Express ride for kids, where a toy train took them on a journey through giant book pages that told a Christmas story. In keeping with the literacy theme, the church collected books for Oak Hill Elementary School.Perhaps the most elaborate part of the celebration, though, was the live Nativity, featuring a manger scene, dancing angels, a market, shepherds and wise men. The characters all were in period costume.While children rode the Storybook Express, many parents enjoyed the Festival of Trees with varied decorations, and a Christmas Village.On the last night, the Hillcrest Praise Choir performed The Cradle That Rocked the World and a Cornish hen dinner was served.-Heather Lovejoy

On Friday I received a VA letter stating that I was rated with 30% service-connected disability with a payment of around $450. The letter also stated that my payments would start in April 2016. My rating was approved on 3 March.
I spoke with the VA (TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE BTW) and they said that the law states that any severence pay (Separation pay) from the military for separating early is to be repaid to the Treasury Dept upon the approval of any disability.
I separated last June and received $19,000 in separation pay. Before I got my VA letter, I received a letter from the DAV that said what my rating was, so I was expecting to receive that payment, plus 9 months of backpay, on 1 April. The e-benefits website also had all my documentation about how much my payment would be, but no mention of having to repay my separation pay.
I spoke with a veteran's benefits attorney who told me that this is a closely guarded secret. She said that separation pay is a "loan" until the disability is approved, then the separation pay is taken out of the disability until it is paid back. When I attended the TAPS briefing at my base, the DAV representative that briefed us was extremely honest and up front about everything that can happen with the VA (the time spent waiting for medical evaluations, time spent waiting for rating approval, how to appeal the rating...). Not one person in that briefing mentioned this to us.
I just wanted to share my experience. I will be calling my DAV representative tomorrow to ask why this is not part of the briefing about SCD. Basically, if you get separation pay and don't file for any SCD, you're fine. If you get separation pay and you DO file for SCD, you will be repaying that separation pay through the VA. All of my disability packpay and my monthly payment will go to the Treasury Dept for the next two years.

Mormon Genealogy: Finding Record through the Family History Center
One of the organizations which have the greatest influence in genealogy growth is the LDS (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.). Their special reasons for doing research are associated with their ancestor's proxy baptisms. In fact, they publicly open their staggeringly huge databases through their FamilySearch website, their Salt Lake City's Central Library, and their Family History Centers.
Anyone can utilize the Family History Centers located in the towns across the country. LDS members contribute a big part on the creation of IGI (International Genealogical Index), which is a main surname index of records in the parish, accessible at the Family History Centers and Mormon website.
The Mormons website is the FamilySearch.com. Although biased on the church members needs, this site provides significant information to trace your ancestors. You may find the website too detailed and big because it serves dedicated researchers, church members, and general public.
FHC (Family History Center) Visits
Every genealogist, if given the chance, would love to visit the well known Family History Library of the Mormons in Salt Lake City. However, this is not always possible. Through the Family History Center (FHC), this conflict was solved.
There are more than 3,400 FHCs opened under the Family History Library. These branches operate in sixty four countries providing over 100 thousand microfilm rolls circulating on the FHCs each month.
These records contain vital, land, census, immigration, church, and probate records. Moreover, other valuable genealogical records are also included. All main cities and numerous smaller communities have FHCs. So, it is very accessible.
Using any FHCs is free. The public is really welcome. Community and church volunteers are ready to answer queries and offer assistance. Generally, the Family History Centers are funded and staffed by local congregations of the church, thus these is typically housed in church buildings. FHCs are satellite libraries containing volumes of resources to aid people in their genealogy research. It includes genealogy records, family histories, genealogy maps and books, and family tree databases.
The majority of FHCs houses large numbers of microfiche, microfilm, and books in its permanent collections, open for viewing anytime. However, most records of interest may not be available sometimes at local FHCs. These records need to be requested on loans by an FHC volunteer to the Family History Library. Borrowing materials entails paying for about 3 to 5 dollars per film.
After the request, these records will normally take 2 to 5 weeks before it arrives at the local FHCs. These records remain at the local FHCs for three weeks for the researcher to view before returning to the Family History Library.
Guidelines on how to request records from the Family History Center
The researcher can renew their loan if more time is needed.
Any requested microfiche records can stay at the local FHC through permanent loans.
Renewal of microfilm rolls twice or paid within three rental periods can remain at the local FHCs as permanent loans.
Permanent loans are arranged from the start by asking the Family History Center volunteer and paying the whole three rental period.
Books from the Family History are not allowed to be loaned by the local FHCs. However, these books can be requested to be microfilmed. Ask the help of the local FHC volunteer.
Mormon Family History Center: Helping You Track Your Genealogy
The Family History Library of Mormons in Salt Lake City has been always popular for the Genealogists. However, not all genealogists have the chance to get there.
For instance, if a genealogist is located in Sydney, Australia, he needs to travel a mere 12, 890 km. Aside from the fact that it will be a bit time consuming, and it will also be harsh in the purse.
Good thing, Family History Centers (FHCs) was founded. FCHs are branch libraries of Family History Library. And there are 3,400 FHCs that are operating in 64 countries.
These FHCs circulate a hundred thousand rolls of microfilm to its centers monthly. These microfilm rolls, along with the books and other resources of genealogy do not require the genealogists to travel a long distance anymore.
The FHCs are generally located in the easiest driving distance. This is because these centers are situated both in major cities and smaller communities.
Included in these centers are massive records that are of great genealogical value. Like for instance, census, probate, church records, vital, land and immigration.
There is no need to worry for any fee. FHCs records are accessible for the public for free. These are facilitated by volunteers from the church and community. They are the ones who lend assistance and answer the queries of the visitors.
FHCs are also funded by Church congregations in the locality. For this reason, these are usually situated in the church buildings.
These FHCs are also referred as satellite libraries. And other available resources here that are helpful for the search on genealogy include the genealogy records, family tree databases, genealogy books and maps and family histories.
Most of these FHCs contain massive book collections, series of microfilms as well as microfiche. And all of these may be viewed in any time.
Although, there are many instances wherein the FHCs cannot release the records requested by the researcher instantly. Some of these records are still requested by the FHCs from the main library, which is the Family History Library situated in Salt Lake City.
The request is done by the volunteer in the local FHC. Also, borrowing materials from the main library will require a small fee, roughly, $3.00 to $5.00 each film.
Normally, the records that you requested will take about 2 to 5 weeks before it arrives to the FHC in your locality. The record will remain in the local FHC for 3 weeks. Hence, you would have that span to view and study the record.
If you feel hesitant to visit the FHC because of the thought that these people might persuade you to join in their religion, then don't be. The Mormons, also known as The Latter Day Saints, believe that family is perpetual.
Therefore, they really encourage and support the family to track their ancestors.
It is a part of their mission to share the records they have accumulated to all the people, religion is not an issue.

Whenever friends move somewhere new I get excited. Not because I didn't like where they lived before. Not because I get a thrill out of helping people move.
No. Definitely no.
I've helped pack and move enough family and friends to know boxing up and transporting an entire house of things is not something anyone finds pleasure in.
At least I hope not.
A new home means a housewarming gift.
My go to housewarming gift is: Bread, salt, and wine*.
*Movie and/or Christmas fanatics, I hope you already know where this is going.
In the movie, It's a Wonderful Life, George and Mary Bailey are welcoming the Martini family into their new home in Bailey Park. (All of which are important points for later in the movie, and if you haven't seen it, I demand you watch it immediately!*). The home doesn't look like much on the outside, but Mr. Martini proudly says to George, "I own this home!".
*Sorry to be so pushy. It's only because I love this movie!!
This scene gave me such a lasting impression of what it means to have a place which is yours. A place you own. A place you call home.
Mary and George then present Mr. Martini with these three gifts:
Three simple, but symbolic gifts.
After I'd given this gift a half dozen times, I considered making up a tag I could print off at last minute notice.* Then I decided I preferred the handmade touch of writing the tags out myself**. This is also why I now bake the bread I give, as well.***
*If you aren't as worried about the handmade touch like me, a quick search on Pinterest will reveal templates other people have made.
**However, if your handwriting is a doctor-like scrawl, I wouldn't recommend this.
***I'm a little horrified with myself that I used to give bagged Shop Rite bread when I had the ability to make my own artisan bread at home.
Bread so that this house may never know hunger.
Salt so that life may always have flavor.
Wine that joy and prosperity may reign forever.

Pinioning Ducks
Before explaining the process of pinioning we want to first make the following comment. Many people think it is very cruel to pinion your exotic ducks. However there is a very good reason for pinioning. These ducks are exotic species and the last thing we want is for them to breed and they may fly away and cross breed with indigenous species. If you argue that you are going to keep them in a fully enclosed aviary the question is still, how will you deal with excess breeding stock? The moment you want to sell to others, your ducks have to be pinioned because not everyone has the luxury of an enclosed aviary.
Once the sexing is done the ducklings can be pinioned. Males are pinioned on the right wing and females on the left wing.
This is a task not for the faint hearted. If done correctly it has very little impact on the health of your ducklings. The bone that is severed is less than the thickness of a match stick and the total length of the wing that is cut off is about 4 to 5 mm. (not even a quarter of an inch.) Ducklings are just starting to develop at 12 days but they grow in body size and most energy is used to build the body but the wings only really start developing when their real feathers start to come out. At 12 days the blood flow to the tip of the wings are minimal and the bones are still quite under developed.
First feel for the Alula the sharp nail like protrusion on the wing. The Alula is NOT cut off. Pull it out of the way thus towards the ducklings head so the last part or end of the wing is exposed and the bone can be severed as shown in the picture below. Pinch tightly on the joint. (Make sure that you pinch the joint between your finger and thumb because this will ensure that you do not cut IN the joint!) Cut the bone with a pair of sharp scissors or clipping tool. Cut where the black line is drawn in the illustration below.
Once done you can keep the pressure on the joint for a few seconds but I let the ducklings go directly into the water to wash off. Within minutes they are bathing and preening like before.
It is a good idea to spray the cut with an antiseptic or apply a suitable weeping wound powder. (Please check with your vet before applying any disinfectant to the duckling).
Note: The cut IS NOT made IN the joint as shown in the picture on the left.
Remember if you cut away the Alula you are cutting in the wrong place.
A further example of where to cut.
