Microsoft Corporation Windows 2000 Pro
Windows 2000 is a line of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, business desktops, laptops, and servers. Released on 17 February 2000, it was the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the final release of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. It was succeeded by Windows XP for desktop systems in October 2001 and Windows Server 2003 for servers in April 2003. Windows Me was released seven months after Windows 2000 and one year before Windows XP, but Windows Me was not intended to be, nor did it serve as the successor to Windows 2000. Windows Me was designed for home use, while Windows 2000 was designed for business. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released: Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server. Additionally, Microsoft sold Windows 2000 Advanced Server Limited Edition and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server Limited Edition, which were released in 2001 and run on 64-bit Intel Itanium microprocessors. While each edition of Windows 2000 was targeted to a different market, they share a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console and standard system administration applications. Support for people with disabilities has been improved over Windows NT 4.0 with a number of new assistive technologies, and Microsoft increased support for different languages and locale information. All versions of the operating system support the Windows NT file system, NTFS 3.0, the Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family has additional features, including the ability to provide Active Directory services (a hierarchical framework of resources), Distributed File System (a file system that supports sharing of files) and fault-redundant storage volumes. Windows 2000 can be installed through either a manual or unattended installation. Unattended installations rely on the use of answer files to fill in installation information, and can be performed through a bootable CD using Microsoft Systems Management Server, by the System Preparation Tool. Microsoft marketed Windows 2000 as the most secure Windows version ever, but it became the target of a number of high-profile virus attacks such as Code Red and Nimda. For ten years after its release, it continued to receive patches for security vulnerabilities nearly every month until reaching the end of its lifecycle on 13 July 2010.

Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05), Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (MD-07), Congressman John Sarbanes (MD-03), and Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-08) will hold a press conference in Annapolis on Monday, March 20 at 10:30 a.m., calling on Governor Larry Hogan to oppose House Republicans' bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Letters from the Maryland delegation to Gov. Hogan on February 3 and March 7 asking for his position on ACA repeal have gone unanswered – at a time when more than 347,000 Marylanders stand to lose insurance coverage.
There's no question that these changes at the federal level would negatively affect our state. Hundreds of thousands of Marylanders, especially low-income residents and seniors, would see costs for premiums skyrocket and access to preventive care decrease. The state also stands to lose billions in Medicaid funding.

Each triangle weighing 6.5 tonnes, is made from LVL (laminated veneer lumber) which is produced in the Nelson region. The Naylor Love team heading the project, working with Nelson company Gibbons, made sure every aspect of the lift went smoothly. We are looking forward to seeing more triangles go up each week, until completion of Stage A of the redevelopment. Thanks SnapIT for the footage and Storyline Pictures for the image.

Dubai hit squad underestimated police: expert
A former top level US intelligence official says the assassination in Dubai of a Hamas operative has all the hallmarks of the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad.
He believes the Israeli operatives badly bungled the job because they underestimated the competency of the Dubai police.
Three Australians with dual citizenship have been named as suspects in the investigation because copies of their passports have been linked to the killing. All say they were victims of identity theft.
The Israeli Government says there is absolutely no evidence that it sanctioned the use of Australian passports by the alleged assassins.
And Israel insists that no other government has accused it of involvement in last month's assassination of the Hamas operative Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai.
But there has been no shortage of independent commentators ready to make that link.
Retired army colonel Patrick Lang spent eight years as the head of intelligence for the Middle East and South Asia for the US Defence Department, and for that time was the chief liaison with Israeli military intelligence.
And Mr Lang says the use of fake documents is standard practice for intelligence operatives.
"I certainly think it was the Mossad. Israelis, in particular this Israeli government, are obsessed with Hamas and its leadership," he said.
"They think that if they can kill off enough Hamas leadership then they will be able to make some sort of peace ... with the PLO leaders who are now the provisional government of Palestine, really."
Bungled job
Mr Lang believes the intelligence operatives badly bungled the assassination.
"I think this is a case in which a project often-time will be over-thought and over-engineered," he said.
"The more people look at it and the more they throw resources at a job they want to do, the team gets bigger and bigger and bigger and the thing gets more and more complicated.
"The more complicated it is, the more likely it is to fail or get terribly messed up in some way, as this did."
The Israeli government says there is no evidence linking Israel to the crime but Mr Lang says denial is standard practice.
"Any intelligence service that is anyway worthy of its name, when faced with a mess like this, looks you squarely in the eye and says, 'not us'," he said.
"It smiles and invites you to lunch next week and walks away. That's what they do. So what they say has nothing to do with anything."
Fake passports
Since the killing, Dubai police have released information suggesting the assassins were travelling on fraudulent passports from countries including Britain, France, Ireland, Germany and Australia.
That accusation provoked a strong response from Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, who on Thursday summoned Israel's ambassador, Yuval Rotem, to a meeting to discuss the affair.
Mr Smith told Mr Rotem that if Australian passports were misused by Israel, this would not be regarded as "the act of a friend".
A former Mossad officer has alleged the Israeli spy agency has its own "passport factory" to create or doctor passports for use in intelligence operations.
And Mr Lang says using forged travel documents is usual procedure for intelligence agencies.
"Any intelligence service in the world which wishes to operate on a global basis is going to have the ability to reproduce travel documents," he said.
"You should accept the idea that it is something which is going to happen."
But he says any country forging passports would be careful about which nationalities it fakes.
"I haven't heard of them using any American passports in this operation so far. It would be interesting to see if in fact any turn up. I bet there won't be any," he said.
'No evidence'
But the president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, Robert Goot, says Mr Lang's analysis holds no water and there is "no evidence" the hit was a Mossad operation.
"An investigation, quite properly, has been announced by the Foreign Minister, to be conducted by the Australian Federal Police and ASIO," he said.
"And once there are some hard facts and evidence established by that investigation, then that would be the time to comment.
"I'm sure that the [Australian Jewish] community shares the Australian Government's deep concern at the possible abuse of Australian passports by any country."
Mr Smith's office says the investigation will be contingent on the Dubai police investigation into the assassination itself.
And that investigation is likely to take weeks rather than days.

Q. My husband, 47, and I, 40, have three investment properties: one in Sydney (worth $950,000), another in Melbourne ($600,000) and the third in Brisbane ($600,000). They provide 3.3%, 3.8% and 3.6% rental yield.
Our loans amount to $972,000 with an offset account of $972,000, therefore there is no interest payable.
Combined we have $340,000 in super, shares worth $5500 and savings of $400,000.
We move with work, therefore currently rent. Our annual expenditure is $140,000 and savings $100,000. Our goal is to have $140,000 passive income after tax.
We want to spend more time with our two school-aged kids. Our risk profile is low to medium.
Both parents are on pensions and do not have the knowledge to guide us financially, although they are beautiful people.
We feel we could retire sooner but are not sure how. What do you recommend and in what time frame?
The sooner the better! – Bindi
A. Good work, Bindi. A key to financial success is goal setting, and I love the idea of retirement "as soon as possible".
Coincidentally my column in the April issue of Money is about exactly this situation.
But in your case I can be more specific, as you have given me a fair bit of detail.
You have total assets of about $2.9 million, which at your age is fantastic.
But as you need to plan for a lifespan of around 40 to 50 years, you really need to have an amount of money that gives you the $140,000 a year you need, plus inflation, for many decades.
History says that it is realistic to assume that you can earn about 4% to 5% above inflation on a well-diversified portfolio, so to have $140,000 a year plus inflation, while your capital keeps pace with inflation, you really would need about $3.7 million to $4 million and a home.
So you are very much on track. The next step is to decide on where you would live in the long run. This could be one of your current properties or one you buy as an investment now and move into it when you stop work.
I reckon you need about another $1 million in investment assets, plus a home, before you will have that "inflation-proof" $140,000 a year.

3Part of campaign to internationalize the RMB.
The China International Payment System will be set up and hosted in Shanghai next year. The new international payment system developed by the People's Bank of China, the central bank, is designed to make cross-border settlement in renminbi or RMB more efficient and to further boost the global profile of the Chinese currency.
The development and deployment of the right international payment infrastructure in Shanghai is important for the development of financial industry in the city. CIPS is also a vital development in international payment systems, which will work as a complementary facility to the current renminbi clearing services in offshore markets such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan.
PBOC announced the launch of CIPS in 2010 for cross-border RMB settlement. CIPS will be SWIFT-based and modeled on the U.S. CHIPS clearing, including integration with CNAPS modeled on Fedwire.

This is a legitimate question.
Many people out there understand that there is an area in the digital and online marketing realm known as SEO, but does anyone actually know what this means?
The answer to the above is...some people do, many don't and there are many different definitions on what SEO means depending on who you are talking to (client or agency).
Can't we just give you a simple definition?
Seeing as you asked so nicely, then here is how we view it.
Note: we ultimately subscribe to a definition that is as closely aligned to fundamental marketing principles as possible.
The Short Answer
SEO is about driving your target market to your website over your competitors using digital techniques and content marketing to encourage greater goal conversion.
A goal conversion could be anything from getting a new lead and gaining additional sales enquiries through to a purchase occurring via your online store.
Why is SEO Good (to have in the mix)
For obvious reasons as implied in the definition, you can very clearly influence brand awareness and increase sales.
If done well, SEO can play a very important role in the marketing mix, being easily justified by the fact that it is highly measurable...I would even state that online is the most measurable form of marketing and for this reason, it is appealing as a solid strategic decision. A good SEO company focusses on ROI rather than keyword and search rankings.
Another great advantage is that legitimate SEO techniques are 'sticky'. That means that the longer you invest in driving SEO results, the greater you remain ranked well for phrases (or solutions) to your target market.
Unlike Online Advertising (which only rewards you for budget spent on ad space) SEO'able phrases continue to rank well and drive website traffic and goal conversion (Organic Search). With Online Advertising as soon as you remove the budget, there is an immediate drop in website traffic directly attributed to the reduction in advertising budget (Paid Search).
Is There Anything I Should Consider Before Taking This On?
Yes. Like all forms of strategic marketing, you need to understand that everyone in the organisation should support the strategy and feel as though they can contribute.
One person internally is required (at minimum) on the project team (ideally you would use cross functional teams). This person needs to ensure that all company requested information gets to the online marketing team ensuring the SEO strategy is aligned with the marketing calendar and overall business objectives.
You also need to understand that this is a long-haul ride. You can get some great early indicators within the first 3 months, however, your organisation should give it a minimum of 12 months. This highlights that SEO is all about time (time spent in researching and publishing content) and duration.
Finally, in an ideal world Online Advertising coupled with SEO works really well. Much of the keyword research is similar and this is a natural add-on strategy given the efficiency that can be gained to drive results.
So What Exactly Do You Guys Do?
There is a heap of technical stuff that happens, such as, increasing site speed, page optimisation, call to action optimisation, URL structuring, content structuring, benchmarking and researching.
However, the main outcome is the development of content (like a blog article or restructuring your website content) so that your audience is captivated enough to engage with you.
The fundamentals behind successful SEO and online advertising are the same fundamentals applied to having a solid marketing and Public Relations (PR) strategy.
This is just another marketing tool, so it's just a matter of ensuring you have the right experts on your side to help you attract, convert and retain your website visitors.
At Mind Methods we are passionate about problem solving. SEO is just another piece of the puzzle.

"Even in my darkest moment, I did not want to let my children down," Zeenat Noorani recounts. Recently widowed and a mother of two, Zeenat had to confront the reality of her situation: she had no source of income, and had never worked in the United States. Despite these difficult circumstances, Zeenat was able to provide for herself and her family with assistance from the Quality of Life Skills Development Initiative in the Central United States region.
Striving for continuous education at all stages of life is an important value that we are often reminded of. For those who may not have received a traditional education, today's world offers opportunities to develop competencies in a variety of fields of endeavour, at any age. In this vein, the National Council established the initiative as part of a variety of programmes aimed at improving overall Quality of life.
By providing a platform for the Jamat to pursue continuing education, the initiative enables Jamati members to realise their visions of income enhancement through the development of skills. The programme offers courses in six key areas: foundations of English, accounting, healthcare, information technology, education, and cosmetology. Additionally, the initiative offers courses in non-traditional streams such as cell phone repair, commercial driver licensing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technology, among others. The diverse range of courses offered through the initiative ensures that all participants can confidently develop practical skills in their chosen fields of interest.
Farzana Gajani, a graduate of the cosmetology course recalls, "This education has opened several doors to opportunities of growth and enhancement in my career." She enrolled in the course to pursue a new career path, and has already experienced both personal and financial growth. "Clients and employers are impressed, and appreciate the knowledge that I have, and that has given me excellent marketability," Farzana says. "I finally see a much brighter future for myself and my family."
A key attribute that drives the success of the initiative's participants is the support provided to them by volunteers that form regional teams. Interested participants attend orientation sessions where volunteers assist them in completing a pre-assessment. This allows Jamati members to decide on the career path that suits their existing skills and interests. Over the course of the programme, volunteers also address social and familial challenges, ensuring that participants succeed not only during the programme, but beyond its completion as well.
Sahil and Nabil Samnani were 2016 graduates of the cell phone repair course. Sahil recalls: "Every member of the Quality of Life Skills Development Initiative team played an integral part in building our confidence and motivating us, not only through the class, but they went beyond the call of duty to help us in establishing our own repair business." The initiative allowed for both Sahil and Nabil to reach financial autonomy, and also motivated Sahil to assist others by enlisting as an instructor for future participants of the repair course.
Since July 2015, the initiative has registered over 800 participants, with over 500 graduates experiencing income enhancement due to the skills developed.
Zeenat Noorani is one of these graduates. With the support of the team, she enrolled in a Montessori education course, where participants are given the skills and knowledge to attain a teaching license. It was an uphill battle for her to complete the course, as she faced financial challenges while also caring for her young children, but she never gave up. Through the continuous guidance of the initiative's volunteers, as well as her own determination to accomplish her career goals, she finally graduated and received her teaching license. Today she works at a well-known Montessori school as a Lead Primary Teacher, and is able to provide comfortably for her family. She intends to continue her studies, and become an elementary school teacher.
Zeenat's story is just one of many examples of perseverance and dedication. Time and again, Mawlana Hazar Imam reminds us of the importance of seeking knowledge at any age, and using our knowledge to contribute to the betterment of not only our Jamat, but of society at large. Moreover, education plays a vital role in the improvement of the quality of life of individuals, families, and future generations. Among many other programmes, the Skills Development Initiative is set up to address this need. Zeenat, Farzana, Sahil, Nabil, and other graduates are a testament to its continuing success.

Last week the Federal Government found itself in a very sticky situation. Top Secret confidential files on the NBN were found to be located at the offices of the ABC. The ABC had located them in a Secondhand Furniture Store trading in ex-Government Furniture. Two filing cabinets full of documents remained open and available for months.
Read about it here:
Classified government documents accidentally dumped in Canberra
The Prime Minister's office has ordered an "urgent" investigation into the dumping of thousands of sensitive documents in old filing cabinets, the contents of which have embarrassed governments past and present.
After days of teasing listeners and fuelling conspiracy theories with cabinet leaks related to both the Rudd and Abbott governments, the ABC revealed it obtained thousands of documents that were found in two old filing cabinets sold to a Canberra shop which sells ex-government furniture.
The filing cabinets sat in the second-hand shop for months. There was no key and the documents were only discovered when the purchaser opened them with a drill.
Found inside the cabinets were thousands of pages related to the inner workings of the five past governments. The leading but unconfirmed theories were the cabinets belonged to either the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet or a bureaucrat who handled Freedom of Information requests.
[img2: The Cabinet documents were found in a cabinet sold by the government ]
The ABC reports nearly all papers were classified, many as "top secret" or AUSTEO, meaning they were to be seen by Australian Eyes Only.
The head of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Martin Parkinson, ordered an immediate and "urgent" investigation into the security lapse. The ABC has not published some due to national security reasons or to protect the privacy of public servants.
Those published reveal, for example, the Australian Federal Police lost almost 400 national security files between 2008 and 2013.
A review by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, itself included in the cache, shows the documents came from the National Security Committee of Cabinet, many marked "top secret" or for Australian eyes only.
An email exchange does not reveal what the documents detail, how they were lost or who is responsible.
Another revelation is that in 2013, when Labor lost the September election, almost 200 top-secret national security documents were left behind in the office of Labor Senate leader Penny Wong, instead of being destroyed.
The ABC reports the 195 documents "included Middle-East defence plans, national security briefs, Afghan war updates, intelligence on Australia's neighbours and details of counter-terrorism operations".
Emails between the Department of Finance and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet from late 2013 reveal security staff found the documents left in the office after the election and oversaw their destruction, the ABC reports.
A spokesman for Senator Wong said the document safe was knowingly left behind in the office because a staffer with the key had departed some weeks earlier. The safe was handed over to the Finance Department and the documents destroyed.
Senator Wong said "this is the first time I have ever been made aware of this matter, which relates to a change of government over four years ago".
"As a former cabinet minister who participated in national security meetings, a senior member of shadow cabinet and a current member of the PJCIS I always take my responsibilities seriously."
Some of the oldest material dates back to the Howard government, including revelations the National Security Committee of cabinet gave serious consideration to removing the right of individuals to refuse to answer questions from police when facing terrorism charges.
Then-attorney-general Philip Ruddock pushed for a range of new offences while an investigation was under way into Indian-born doctor Mohammed Haneef, who was wrongly accused of providing assistance in a 2007 terror attack in Scotland.
The Australian Federal Police and ASIO supported Mr Ruddock's proposal, but it was rejected by the majority of the senior ministers in the National Security Committee. Current ASIO director-general Duncan Lewis, then an adviser to Mr Howard, argued strongly against the proposal.
Other documents confirm that right-wing political commentator Andrew Bolt had been consulted by the Abbott government on proposed changes to water down section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act.
The ABC reports the documents reveal Mr Bolt was asked how to stop the act's "unreasonably restrictive" reach that led to a successful claim against him for breaching the Act in 2011.
Others reveal Mr Abbott ignored the advice of his department and the Australian Government Solicitor in ordering confidential cabinet documents be handed to the royal commission into the home insulation scheme.
Then-secretary Ian Watt told Mr Abbott and his chief-of-staff Peta Credlin the move would break longstanding and strong conventions, which the Abbott government itself had previously reaffirmed.
Already, the blunder has caused embarrassment for Mr Abbott, Scott Morrison and Kevin Rudd.
The ABC has already revealed that as immigration minister, Mr Morrison agreed his department should intervene in ASIO security checks to prevent some asylum seekers from being granted permanent protection visas.
The documents also led to revelations Tony Abbott's budget committee considered removing eligibility for people under 30 for all income support ahead of the controversial 2014 budget.
On Wednesday, it was reported Mr Rudd was warned about "critical risks" from the deadly home insulation scheme, despite the former prime minister telling a royal commission into the program he would have stopped the rollout if he had been warned of safety risks.

The IRS is treating the stimulus checks as if they were tax refunds. On their website, the IRS indicates that the amount of the stimulus check will be reduced or seized if :
- You are single and your net income tax liability is less than $600. If you file Form 1040 net income tax liability is the amount shown on Line 57, plus the amount on Line 52.
- You are married and your net income tax liability is less than $1,200.
- You are single and your adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than $75,000. On Form 1040, AGI is the amount on Line 37.
- You are married filing a joint return and your AGI is more than $150,000.
- You owe back taxes that reduced your payment.
- You have non-tax federal debts such as unpaid student loans or child-support obligations that reduced your payment.
If the IRS is reducing or seizing your stimulus check, they are supposed to mail you a letter of explanation.
So what do you do if you and your spouse have filed a joint return and your spouse owes back child support if you want to avoid having the IRS seize your share? Well, you may fall in the category of what the IRS calls an 'injured spouse'. To get your share of the stimulus payment, you can file Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation. You will then get your share of these payments, and your spouse's share will be applied to his or her past-due federal or state income taxes or non-tax federal debt such as student loans and child support.
If you are wondering where your stimulus check is, you can initiate an inquiry to the IRS by clicking here.
Also, remember that the IRS NEVER initiates any email to taxpayers, so don't fall for one of those internet scams about receipt of your stimulus check!

Aaliyah was described as one of the R&B's most important artists during the 1990s. She has helped redefined hip-hop and R&B with her music and mid-tempo style.
Fellow artists tweeted on Thursday expressing their sadness. In an interview, Aaliyah's friend and producer Missy Elliott said, "It doesn't feel like it's been 10 years because Aaliyah's leaving is still fresh in our minds and always will be."
Aaliyah died in a plane crash in the Bahamas at age 22.

The Fundraising Campaign for 2018 has started off with several momentous firsts.
Universal Metal Works launched the first business support for the grass- roots revitalization project, Fulton Block Builders (FBB): 2018 campaign. The Sharkey's were impressed to learn that there was a quarter of a million dollars invested in 22 distinct blocks and 127 properties in 2017. John Sharkey III said, "The first year was very inspiring, I am happy to see this kind of excitement in the city and am pleased to support further growth." John IV said, "Fulton has many positive attributes for living and doing business, it's impressive to see a program like this take off in such a strong way and we are proud to be a part of it."
Legislator Karasek said, "I represent the 22nd District which includes parts of the City of Fulton and I am impressed with the positive energy FBB is bringing to our residents. I make a point of supporting and sponsoring initiatives that I think are good for my District, so this decision was an easy one for me." Linda Eagan, Administrative Director of the Fulton Block Builders (FBB) said, "Legislator Karasek saw the positive potential for this program early last year and donated his entire county raise to the program in 2017 and now has made another strong commitment for 2018. Fulton residents are lucky to have this kind of leadership and backing!"
Dennis and Kellie Merlino went to the Fulton Block Builder website and made a $10.00 monthly reoccurring contribution. Dennis and Kellie were actively involved in the Fulton Block Builder (FBB) inaugural year – 2017, by being Block Leaders as well as Ambassadors. But that wasn't enough, they have been watching the enthusiasm grow in the city and wanted to do even more! They expressed strong excitement about the Shineman $100,000 matching grant and wanted to get FBB off to a great fund-raising start. Dennis said, "Kellie and I are challenging community members to help support this growth. So, we are challenging each of you to donate to Fulton Block Builders today. We used the very simple PayPal link on the Fulton Block Builders web page: Donate"

Hi Guys
Thought I'd tell you about our UK road trip in Ruby, in June this year. GBH, you'd better pull up a comfortable chair
The original idea for the trip was to re-create a journey Lin and I did in our 1956 Ragtop oval beetle back in 1968.....I know many of you weren't even born then. This time we decided not to go as far as Scotland, but still made our way up as far as the Yorkshire Moors.
Some of you know that I'm into Railways, both real and model, so part of the trip involved Heritage Steam Railways for me and RHS gardens for Lin. Our first port of call was to see some friends at Banbury before moving on to the Severn Valley Railway, where we took a trip on a train hauled by a "Battle of Britain" class locomotive named Sir Keith Park. Similar locomotives, known as "West Country" class, would have been seen on the Exeter to Ilfracombe line right up to 1967.
Next day we moved onto Grassington in Yorkshire via the Black Country, Stafford, Stoke on Trent, Manchester city centre, Blackburn, Burnley and Skipton. On day 4, we took a train from Settle to Carlisle and return, only on an normal service train, but the scenery was superb. Lin finally got her way, and day 5, a visit to RHS Harlow Carr Gardens near Harrogete was made with a smile on my face....honest. Day 6, I visited the National Railway Museum at York, while Lin wandered around the City centre, an enjoyable day was had by all.
That night we stayed on a site near Scarborough, then Day 7 took a trip on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway from Grosmont to Pickering and back. In the evening we went into Whitby for a fish n chip supper in a posh looking restaurant.......so bloody posh the bill, including drinks came to £45 !!!!!!!! Day 8 saw us heading for Rutland County and the late Geoff Hamilton's Garden (He of BBC Gardeners World fame), Lin had a lovely few hours wandering around the 39 different styles of garden while I sat in the sunshine reading a good book, coffee in hand.
The next day we headed for home, arriving about 7 in the evening. In all we covered 1050mls, used 39.3 gallons of petrol, averaging 130.6p/ltr, which worked out at 26.7 mpg. Not bad for a T25.
In 1968 we drove from Orpington up the West side of England into Scotland, returning down the East side. Motorways were few and far between, the M5, M3 and the M25 didn't exist. We visited Stratford on Avon, Coventry, The Lake District, Gretna Green, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Berwick on Tweed, Whitby, Scarborough, Beverly, Lincoln, and London, passing through many other towns and cities before returning home. Petrol was about 15 old pence a litre, equivalent to 6.25p in todays money.

Florida International U
FIU will have a graduate transfer quarterback next year. Will he start in 2018?
The FIU Panthers lost 28-3 to the Temple Owls in the Gasparilla Bowl
The FIU Panthers and coach Butch Davis have another quarterback to add to the mix.
James Morgan, a graduate transfer from Bowling Green, announced Thursday on Twitter that he will transfer to FIU for his final two years of eligibility. As a graduate transfer, Morgan will not have to sit out a year.
"Extremely thankful for Coach Davis believing in me and providing an opportunity to come down and compete alongside some ELITE coaches and players," Morgan wrote. "Can't wait to get to Miami and get to work!"
My commitment: pic.twitter.com/JG8ndnqfEK— James Morgan (@Jmoneyyy12) January 25, 2018
Morgan, who just completed his redshirt sophomore season at Bowling Green, played in 19 games with 13 starts over the past two seasons for the Falcons. In those games, Morgan completed 51.9 percent of his passes (279 for 538) for 3,342 yards, 25 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. He was benched in the final five games of the 2017 season.
Morgan, a 6-5, 226-pound quarterback, was a former three-star recruit, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, and will likely be part of a four-way quarterback battle for FIU this season to replace four-year starter Alex McGough. Also expected to be involved are redshirt freshman Kaylan Wiggins and juniors Maurice Alexander and Christian Alexander (no relation). FIU also has freshman Caleb Lynum as part of its 2018 signing class.

Just like buses, you wait for the next one and then three arrive in quick succession.
Chipping Norton trainer Charlie Longsdon sent out three winners over the weekend.
Louse Talk has come out of his race in fine fettle and all being well will aim to run at the beginning of MarchChipping Norton trainer Charlie Longsdon
Louse Talk kicked off an across-the-card double when winning on Saturday at Warwick.
The six-year-old won the Visit The All New racinguk.com Novices Hurdle in the hands of Paul O'Brien who then headed off to Uttoxter to partner Castafiore.
O'Brien's dash to Uttoxeter paid off as the five-year-old won the Roger Martin's 70th Celebration Mares Handicap Hurdle.
And the next day Just Don't Ask obliged at Ayr, taking the yard on to 35 winners for the campaign.
The six-year-old made the long trip north of the border worthwhile by landing the toteplacepot Maiden Hurdle in the hands of Brian Hughes.
The Hull Farm handler said: "Louse Talk kicked off the weekend with an eye-catching front running performance at Warwick.
"He will come on fitness-wise for the run as we have not been hard on him leading up to the race. He has come out of his race in fine fettle and all being well will aim to run at the beginning of March.
"Paul drove to Uttoxeter where he rode a fantastic race to win a handicap hurdle on Castafiore, bringing an across-the-card double for the team, with our only two runners on the day.
"The weather at Ayr caused a worrying moment or two as snow threatened the card, however Just Don't Ask justified favouritism to lose his maiden tag over hurdles, winning by 15 lengths under Brian Hughes. He loves the softer going and managed to get everything under the cosh early on."

Hair and Makeup Tips for Headshots
Ladies, please arrive with your makeup and hair ready to go how you normally do it. You are welcome to have your makeup professionally done if you would like to but it's not required. I do highly recommend professional makeup for all of my female clients and I can book one of my brilliant makeup artists for your session if you would like. I need to book makeup in advance though so let me know ASAP if you want me to book that for you.
Here are some helpful tips for a great makeup look for headshots.
- Liquid foundation always looks better than powder.
- Keep the lip color close to your natural lip color or 1 shade darker and GLOSSY - no matte lipstick.
- No visible hard-edge lip liner.
- Go easy on the blush/bronzer.
- Keep eyes looking defined but natural.
- Soft blended eyeliner.
- No hard-edge liquid eyeliner.
- Neutral color eyeshadow is usually best.
- No lines of demarcation or heavy smoked-out eyeshadow.
- No false eyelashes - unless you are use to wearing them and you know how to correctly apply them.
- Wear mascara and curl your lashes.
For hair, style it how you would normally do it on a good hair day. Hairstyles are extremely personal and you know how you like to wear it best. You want to look like YOU in your headshot and hair is big part of that. If you need a haircut, I encourage you to get one before your session but not the day before. At least 2 or 3 days prior. If you color your hair and need to touch up your roots, I encourage you to do so as well. If you have long hair, especially thick, heavy long hair, you might consider putting it up in a ponytail or bun for your headshot. Hair up usually draws even more emphasis to the face which is great for headshots. If you want to stop by your usual hair salon/stylist and have your hair blown-out or styled on your way to the session that is always a great decision.

2017 marks the fourth year of the World Heart Federation Emerging Leaders programme and focuses on access to essential medicines for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including heart disease and stroke. Despite the availability for decades of evidence-based medicines to prevent and treat CVD, their use is still very low.
Access to essential CVD medicines is worryingly low globally and particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where some of the barriers to CVD medicines access include poor access to health care facilities, low availability, poor quality of medication and unaffordability. This places a heavy financial burden on individuals and households, and creates an urgent need to find innovative ways – from policies through to models of care – to improve access to these live-saving medications.
Launched by former World Heart President Salim Yusuf, the 2017 World Heart Federation Emerging Leaders cohort will build capacity for research and advocacy to support projects which harness local knowledge and global expertise to improve access to medicines through stronger policies and strengthened programmes. Previous cohorts have focused on secondary prevention of CVD, raised blood pressure, and tobacco prevention and control.
The 2017 Emerging Leader Think Tank was hosted at the Hatter Institute for Cardiovascular Research in Africa, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town from 18-23 June 2017. The Think Tank included lectures by leaders in the field, seminars and a round table discussion with experts, industry representatives and healthcare workers, amongst others.
Karen Sliwa, World Heart Federation President-Elect:
"When patients are uninsured and have to pay to purchase generic medicines, it puts an enormous and relentless financial burden on individuals and households. In many developing countries, the high cost of chronic medicine treatment, including CVD and other non-communicable disease medicines, can often push families below the poverty line."
David Wood, World Heart Federation President:
"By developing the next generation of leaders, the Emerging Leaders Programme plays an important role in helping the World Heart Federation to achieve our mission and vision: a 25% reduction in premature mortality cause by CVD by 2025. Over the next few years, this programme will train more than 125 participants selected to represent at least 50 countries. These individuals will have demonstrated long-term promise through their early career success, creativity and passion for improving cardiovascular health and preventing CVD. As a consequence of their participation in the Emerging Leaders Programme, these professionals will have the capacity to effect change over the remainder of their careers, well beyond 2025."

US: 250 Million Voters Decide Congress, President's Fate
- By Kimeng Hilton
- 07 nov. 2018 11:12
- 0 Likes
Crucial midterm elections held on November 6, 2018 with likely changes in the House of Representatives and Senate.
Though it was not a presidential election, results of the United States of America, USA midterm polls on November 6, 2018 will determine how easy Republican President Donald Trump completes the remaining two years of his four-year tenure. Agency reports said more than 250 million voters went to the polls in midterm elections to choose all 435 House of Representative members and 35 of the 100 senators.
The two Houses were previously led by the Republican Party. Some 36 governorships out of 50 were at stake, along with thousands of state legislators. There was record voter turnout with 35 million early votes already cast, a figure that surpassed that of 2014 when fewer than 20 million early votes were counted.
After months of campaigning, speculation and billions of dollars spent on adverts, leaflets and bumper stickers, voters finally had their say. During his final campaign rallies in Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, President Trump returned to his key campaign issues, insisting that Democrats would damage the economy and allow more illegal immigration. Democratic candidates instead focussed on issues such as healthcare and economic inequality.
Before the vote, Trump faced widespread criticism for his divisive language. Facebook, NBC and even Trump's favourite network, Fox News, stopped broadcasting a 30-second advert paid for by his campaign team that featured an undocumented Mexican immigrant. In an interview with ABC on November 5, 2018, the President said he wished he had taken "a much softer tone" throughout his presidency.
Meanwhile, US law enforcement and intelligence agencies said on the eve of the midterm elections that they had no indication that a foreign power was trying to interfere with the polls. A joint statement was released by Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen; Attorney General, Jeff Sessions; Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, and FBI Director, Christopher Wray.
"At this time, we have no indication of compromise of our nation's election infrastructure that would prevent voting, change vote counts, or disrupt the ability to tally votes. But Americans should be aware that foreign actors … continue to try to influence public sentiment and voter perceptions through actions intended to sow discord," the statement cautioned.

The National Association of Realtors is showing Lake and Sumter County with the following statistics:
723 homes sold in August
$237,982 avg. sold price
1,978 homes for sale
With about 2,000 homes for sale and 700+ being sold in a month, we are facing the lowest inventory ratios we have seen in our market in the 5 years I have been in the real estate business. With only 2.7 months supply of homes for sale, there is no way for prices to stay down or hold steady. Home prices/values are still going up.
We have an unbelievably low level of housing inventory for sale in our market. If you are considering selling your home, it will be very easy to sell your home this fall; and we should expect a contract for 98-100% of list price. This doesn't mean we will sell your home for 98% of whatever price we put on your home. It means that if we price the home correctly, it will sell within 2% of list price.
Right now, it is common for a correctly priced home to receive multiple offers. If you or someone you know is considering selling their home, we would love to have a conversation with him/her to discuss serving them.
Congrats to our clients & Friends

FTSE set to fall on open; Davos and earnings data in focus
The FTSE 100 looks set to fall by around 25 points when trading gets underway on Thursday, according to the spread betting firms, as political leaders address the world economic forum in Davos.
The pound strengthened against the dollar overnight, but this was largely put down to general dollar weakness against several currencies rather than the strength of the pound.
Sentiment is also likely to be impacted by a sell-off in Asia this morning and a mixed performance on Wall Street overnight.
Key numbers due today include trading updates from retailer ASOS, drinks group Diageo, along with several mining and financial stocks.
Traders will also be assessing the latest High Street lending data.

I just love presenting.
It's so much fun being able to share with people what I've been doing and to have them talk to me about what they are doing and puzzling through…
Today I did two presentations at MATSOL.
One, with my good friend Shelly, was on bringing academic talk in mathematics to the classroom. More than 50 people crowded into the room and played our reindeer games. I made them do some Whole Brain Teaching stuff from Chris Biffle. It was nice to think back on the days when I used to use those in ExcELL, when we had enough students. Such a nice way to get kids to repeat words again and again, and to get the class to have joy in following directions. I just love that stuff…
And it's great to have dedicated time to talk to colleagues about professional experiences. I was able to share what I did eons ago with my students at the elementary school, the year I was teaching math to try to cover two years in one. That was interesting…
The girl on the left is now a sophomore in high school. It's been a while…
We shared a room and were able to talk about our math experiences. It gets me hungry to work on next year, since this one is almost over.
And then I presented on SeeSaw, software that works across platforms to create digital portfolios. I just found this app this year, and I am in love with the possibilities.
It's very simple to use but not simplistic. And it could be so powerful if we let ELLs create the kinds of assignments that would get them to see their learning in context.
The greatest part about today was that I felt like an educational superstar.
About half a dozen people followed me from the math presentation to the apps presentation. I was glad I had not scared them away. When I said as much, I was told that they were fans. How great is that to hear?
I had one woman start this conversation with me: "I don't know if you remember me, but I went to your session on dance and movement last year at this conference." She told me that the session made such an impression that she was running into others at the conference who had attended the same session and they recognized each other, just from that one encounter.
Another woman who was eating lunch at the same table told me that she was in a WIDA class that I did about four years ago. She reminded me that she had sent me multiple emails about an activity that we had done because she wanted to do it with her colleagues.
It's just nice to be remembered. And appreciated. And to have those rich, rich conversations that make us all better teachers.
So happy to be a teacher. And happy that I get these opportunities.

What Issues Does Invisalign Treat?
The best orthodontists in NYC recognize Invisalign as an invaluable treatment option for patients who want a straighter smile without the look of braces. If you are interested in orthodontic treatment but are unsure of whether Invisalign is a viable solution for you, keep reading for a basic overview of the types of problems it can treat.
Misaligned Bites
Your bite is the way your upper and lower teeth meet and fit together. When your teeth don't meet just right, it can cause issues with your chewing ability, excess wear and tear on teeth, and aesthetic concerns. You may hear your orthodontist refer to this as malocclusion .
Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites have all been successfully corrected using Invisalign. Severely misaligned bites may require alternative or more traditional orthodontic treatments. Your orthodontist can tell you if your misaligned bite can be treated with Invisalign at your consultation appointment.
Gaps in the Teeth
Excessive space between teeth can lead to a variety of dental problems, in addition to causing self-consciousness when smiling or talking. Gaps can be caused by missing teeth, genetics, or continued growth of the jawbone past maturity. Invisalign is an excellent option for closing these gaps and improving your overall dental and periodontal health, along with your appearance.
Crowded Teet
Sometimes there just is not enough room in the jaw for all of your teeth. When this is the case, teeth can be crowded, crooked, and may even overlap one another. This can cause great difficulty with normal dental hygiene, leading to excessive plaque buildup and decay. Many cases of crowded teeth can be corrected with Invisalign orthodontic treatments, so talk to your orthodontist to see if you are a candidate.
Contact Seligman Orthodontics today to schedule a consultation with one of the top orthodontists in NYC. We provide a full range of braces and orthodontic services to meet the unique needs of our Park Avenue patients. Our state of the art facility combined with our excellent modern treatment options offers you the very best in orthodontics. Visit us online or give us a call at (646) 681-3086 for more information or to schedule your appointment.
Mouth Guards for Children
Protecting your children's teeth is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. While you may be diligent in ensuring proper oral hygiene and keeping regular dental appointments, it's also important to provide physical protection for active children.
Check out this video to learn about some of the ways mouth guards can benefit children, as well as what to look for in a well-fitting mouth guard. So many broken, chipped, and missing teeth could be prevented with this simple, affordable appliance. Talk to your orthodontist or dentist about obtaining a custom-fitted mouth guard for your active child.
For more information about oral protection or orthodontic treatment, contact Dr. David Seligman at Seligman Orthodontics. Dr. Seligman is one of the best orthodontists in NYC and will be happy to answer any of your questions. Call (646) 681-3086 to schedule a consultation, or visit our website to learn more about our services.
How to Become an Invisalign Patient
Are you interested in becoming an Invisalign patient? If you've heard about all of the amazing benefits that come with using the Invisalign system and would like to try it out for yourself, then be sure to schedule a consultation with your Park Avenue orthodontist to find out if you're a good candidate. Here is a guide to becoming an Invisalign patient:
Research How the Invisalign Process Works
Before you set your sights on becoming an Invisalign patient, it's a good idea to get a better understanding of how the Invisalign process works and how demanding it might be on your lifestyle. Think about how much time you have to spend meeting with your Park Avenue orthodontist from month to month and weigh out the various pros and cons of investing your time and money in Invisalign.
Consider Your Smile Goals
If you do decide that Invisalign is the right treatment option for you, then the next step to take is to determine how it can help you achieve your smile goals. As any top NYC orthodontist will share, Invisalign offers its own unique smile assessment service that allows you to see to what extend Invisalign can help you improve your smile. The assessment takes just a few minutes and provides great advice on how to proceed on the road towards a straighter, healthier smile.
Select a Reputable Orthodontist
Once you have determined that you are an eligible candidate for Invisalign and that it is the ideal treatment for your smile, then begin your search for the right orthodontist. Be sure to ask colleagues and friends for their recommendations for the best NYC orthodontist and pay close attention to customer reviews. Once you've found a reputable candidate, schedule a consultation to discuss your smile goals.
Here at Seligman Orthodontics, we're proud to help our patients achieve straighter, more confident smiles with Invisalign . We also specialize in treating smile imperfections with Damon braces and ceramic braces. To learn more about our orthodontics practice, call (646) 681-3086.
Benefits of the Damon Bracket System
Millions of patients across the country have achieved straighter, more attractive smiles with help from the Damon Braces System, a relatively new treatment option that is revolutionizing the field of orthodontics. With this system, patients can obtain not only straighter teeth but also a more desirable jawline and even secondary benefits like reducing snoring and better quality sleeping. The Damon Braces System works by quickly yet efficiently repositioning the teeth into a more uniformed alignment. Because of its versatility and its various personalized options, the system is suitable for teens and adults.
Here at Seligman Orthodontics, we enjoy working with the Damon Braces System because of all the previously mentioned benefits and because it is statistically shown to be more comfortable than conventional braces. As one of the best orthodontists in NYC, Dr. Seligman was invited to participate in the clinic trials for this revolutionary system. To hear more about how it could improve your smile, contact our Park Avenue orthodontics office today at (646) 681-3086.

For the first time in almost 170 years the border between Belgium and the Netherlands is being modified.
From midnight of the New Year (2018) two uninhabited peninsular will change country. At the end of 2016, the Belgian and Dutch Foreign Ministers agreed to the land swop that will see land currently in the Belgian municipality of Visé (Liège province) being transferred to the Dutch municipalities of Eijsden-Margraten and Maastricht and vice-versa.
The land exchange was made necessary as the border between the two countries in the area concerned followed what was then the course of the River Maas. However, the winding river was straightened in the 1960's to make it more easily navigable.
As a result of this (uninhabited) pieces of Belgian territory were left isolated on the Dutch side of the river, while Dutch territory was left isolated on the Belgian side.
This made things difficult for the police and other emergency services that were unable to reach the enclaves without crossing the border. – vrt
