It is often said "it takes a village to raise a child" and I believe that the same can be said of pets. Companion animals are a vital part of a healthy and happy community and it is our responsibility as a community to ensure that all animals are treated with respect and care. Spaying and neutering is at the foundation of that care. It's about more than being a responsible pet owner; it's about being a responsible member of society.
As big fans of all creatures great and small, 3 o'clock designer Katie Goodz and I teamed up to produce this successful and impactful public awareness campaign for Bide Awhile Animal Shelter. We used humour, Kioko the dog, Zoe the cat, and photographer Riley Smith to get people across Nova Scotia talking about the "Fix the Problem" campaign.

This hot mature babe shows off her body in a crazy fishnet outfit that is sexy. She goes all out with the whole stripper look. I definitely like it. Apparently, she used to be a stripper, and her BF asked her to put on the old gear to give him a striptease. We get some dirty talk, then she moves to the couch. This is where it gets insane. She gives her nice shaved pussy a rub down while she plays with her tits and moans. The ex-BF tells us he was the rebound guy. She had just broke up with her ex a month before they met. After almost 3 months together, she admitted she still had feelings for her ex, and the two split up. He was livid and wanted to get back at her, so he could at least save some ego.

Soccer Saturday – Sportsman's Dinner
Our friends at Pinpoint Recruitment are hosting a Sportsman's Dinner on Thursday 03rd November for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation at the Marriott Gosforth Park
Fronted by famous football pundits Paul Merson ex Arsenal, Phil Thompson ex Liverpool, along with Tony Cottee ex West Ham – all former England International Footballers. All three, who appear on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday, will entertain with their award-winning after-dinner routines before they engage in a 'Live and Uncut' debate with the audience.
The Sky Sports trio are on hand to help, agreeing to take part in a special fundraising dinner in aid of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Sir Bobby launched his Foundation in 2008. He described it as "like being at the helm of a team again." What he called his last and greatest team. He said he hoped it would become his legacy.
Lady Elsie, his three sons Paul, Andrew and Mark, trustees, the football community and committed Patrons including Alan Shearer, Niall Quinn, Steve Gibson, Delia Smith and Mick Mills are continuing his wishes today.

It was a weird era, in a lot of ways. And my favorite. It was a lot like the present time.
Esperanto is a constructed language that's ridiculously easy to learn. It's made out of the common word roots from big European languages, with more novel, perfectly regular, logical grammatical affixes.
Let me showcase it for just a second:
I love her.
Mi amas ŝin.
She loves me.
Ŝi amas min.
I will love her.
Mi amos ŝin.
She will love me.
Ŝi amos min.
No conjugation for person. Change the "a" to an "o" to make the future. Change it to an "i" for the past. You've been studying Esperanto for 30 seconds, and you already have a better command of the grammar than you might after months of studying Spanish. That's the point.
Imagine a language you can get conversational with in the space of a couple months. Imagine everyone on earth took a couple months to learn it.
Imagine that by this autumn you could understand Iranian newspapers and soap operas. I have a feeling that Persians would start to become so eerily human to us that the thought of going to war with them would start to feel as horrible and insane as, I don't know, going to war with England.
Tons of people got behind Esperanto. The anarchists started publishing journals in it. Smart people started saying that it would take over the world in a small amount of time, and they weren't crazy. It looked that way.
A lot of tragedy and poetry interfered. The Nazis didn't like it. Doktoro Esperanto, was, in fact, a Jew. Nationalism got big in Europe in the first half of the 20th century. It sucked.
|Dr. Esperanto's daughter, Lidia, was an early convert to the appropriately universalist and synchretic Baha'i faith. Taught both the language and the faith. Died in the Treblinka extermination camp.
Esperanto's exponential trend leveled off and stayed put. The internet is connecting would-be Esperantists and maybe giving it another chance, but smart people are no longer writing editorials in newspapers saying it will be the world language in 10 years.
What happened?
Lots of stuff.
What's my point?
Just because something is easy, would benefit mankind, is ascendant, is blowing up in the news, is logical, and would make everyone richer doesn't mean it'll work out.
There is no teleological attractor driving all things towards perfection. Or if there is, it's a weird one that tolerates setbacks and holocausts. Sometimes there's something good and rational and people still don't adopt it.
Nothing is certain.
But I do prefer to hang out with Those Who Hope.
*Dr Jim LaPeyre, this isn't meant to be the bitcoin post you asked for. This is a different one.

Please note that the entry fee to Cowes Classics Week does not include fees for any moorings which you need to arrange for yourself.
This page provides guidance on arranging your mooring and you should additionally read the Cowes Harbour Commission Special Event Terms and Conditions.
Swinging Moorings
As usual, the Cowes Harbourmaster will lay additional moorings in the entrance to the Medina both inside and outside the breakwater. This is an annual feature to provide sufficient moorings for the 800 boats that arrive for Cowes Week and will be used by those keelboats that would normally use these facilities.
The cost for the 5 nights of Cowes Classics Week will be £13.10 per metre for 5 nights of CCW (this is the new rate as advised by the Harbour Master April 2018).
The following classes should book their moorings through their Class Association representative:
- Bembridge One Design
- National Swallow
- Redwing
- Solent Sunbeam
- Victory
Although the following diagram shows the indicative mooring plan, the actual mooring plan will be drawn after the closing date for entries and made available here on the website for download during June 2018.
Marina Moorings
With the support of Cowes Harbour Commission Shepards Wharf Marina has again been selected as the official marina for Cowes Classics Week. Boats will be moored together in the North Basin at Shepards Wharf to create an event atmosphere. Please note that boats will be rafted.
Shepards Wharf Marina is offering a regatta package price including VAT for 5 nights from 23 July – 27 July 2018 inclusive is £15.75 per metre. The non package prices range from £2.75 to £3.15 per metre per day.
Please complete the Marina Booking Form and contact Shepards Wharf Marina directly to secure your booking;
Shepards Wharf Marina,
Medina Road,
Isle of Wight
Telephone: 01983 297821
Website: www.cowesharbourcommission.co.uk/marina_berthing
Please note that all marina mooring bookings are not guaranteed until Shepards Wharf Marina receives payment in full.

Medical-claim data, health information and Social Security numbers of 28,279 customers, mostly from central Ohio -- Nationwide is based in Columbus -- was stolen from the Waymouth, Mass., office of Concentra Preferred Systems.
Concentra is a subcontractor that audits hospital-stay charges to make sure Nationwide is not overpaying claims, a Nationwide spokesman said.
The company's auto, life and homeowners insurance policyholders were not affected by the breach.
The theft occurred Oct. 26 and Nationwide learned of it two weeks later. It sent letters notifying customers last week.
Nationwide said the risk of identity theft as a result of the incident was very low.

We actually don't know what Jesus looked like. We do know he was a carpenter, so perhaps Jesus was buff. But, I don't think when the Biblical Nathaniel asked, "Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" and Phillip answered, "Come and see," they were talking about Jesus' beautiful face or chiseled abs.
The Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado, who bears more than a passing resemblance to Brad Pitt, plays the title role. His looks will surely tax the patience of historians who say that Jesus, as a Jew of first-century Palestine, was probably more dark skinned than the fair-faced Mr. Morgado, who early on inspired the Twitter hashtag #hotjesus.
"It's a compliment, obviously," Mr. Morgado said, "but I don't want that to take away from what we tried to achieve. The best story is the story that gets to the most people. If the message of Jesus was love, hope and compassion, and I can bring that to more people by being a more appealing Jesus, I am happy with that."

"Given the movie's title and the fact that there are few things funnier than human nudity, the idea popped into my head largely intact. The film is a big valentine to comics, so I tried to do something really cartoon-y. I had thought of having it colored with off-registered printing dots like newspaper comics, but Dave [Kellett] asked if I'd paint it instead, and I think he made the right call."

Genomic rearrangement operations can be very useful to infer the phylogenetic relationship of gene orders representing species. We study the problem of finding potential ancestral gene orders for the gene orders of given taxa, such that the corresponding rearrangement scenario has a minimal number of reversals, and where each of the reversals has to preserve the common intervals of the given input gene orders. Common intervals identify sets of genes that occur consecutively in all input gene orders. The problem of finding such an ancestral gene order is called the preserving reversal median problem (pRMP). A tree-based data structure for the representation of the common intervals of all input gene orders is used in our exact algorithm TCIP for solving the pRMP. It is known that the minimum number of reversals to transform one gene order into another can be computed in polynomial time, whereas the corresponding problem with the restriction that common intervals should not be destroyed is already NP-hard. It is shown theoretically that TCIP can solve a large class of pRMP instances in polynomial time. Empirically we show the good performance of TCIP on biological and artificial data.

The basic models have now hardened, so it's mould making time. The figures are pressed into a bed of plasticine which is then built up around any parts which are raised. A frame of Lego blocks is built around this to hold the rubber when it is poured on. The indentations in the corners are to form guides to keep both halves of the final mould aligned when I cast from it. The purple bits will form the hollows the lead will pour down during casting.
The rubber is then measured out and the catalyst added to it and mixed in. An extra layer of Lego bricks is added and then I paint the rubber over the figures and into the indentations in the corners before pouring the rest in to fill the mould. A few good taps release air bubbles, then it's off to harden. It should be ready to make the other half tomorrow.

MAY 6, 7, and 8, 2005, in Tepotzlan, Mexico
Conducted by Dr. T. P. Amerasinghe (Sri Lanka), Sir Dr. Reinhart Ruge (Mexico), Ms. Eugenia Almand (USA), and Dr. Glen T. Martin (USA)
Focus: The global problems of environmental destruction, militarism, imperialism, terrorism, poverty, and lost of forests, loss of agricultural lands, and loss of fresh water for the Earth. The seminar will focus on the interrelation of these issues and their solution under the democratic world government.

This is not a conference where people give papers on a variety of themes. Naturally questions and comments are very welcome. In this seminar, we will study the world problems as these are explained in the Manifesto of the Earth Federation (found on this website), the failures of the UN to solve these problems (and why it cannot succeed in addressing them), and how the Constitution for the Federation of Earth (found on this website) is designed to address the entire range of world problems, economic, political, human, and environmental. We will examine the structure of the Constitution and the accomplishments of the Provisional World Parliament to date. We will look at the new initiatives now being taken by the World Constitution and Parliament Association.
Seminar participants will receive a certificate of participation

Selena Gomez vs. Olivia Wilde: Which star wore red best at the ESPY awards?
While the ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) awards may be a celebration for the superstars of the athletic world, it was A-list stars Selena Gomez and Olivia Wilde who stole our attention on the red carpet. Both wore red—a nod to this season's primary colours trend, perhaps?—but it's up to you to decide who deserves the title of best dressed.
It's hard to imagine that Selena Gomez was eating KFC only hours before hitting the event. Though she may have a petite frame, the singer showed off her long legs in a red dress by Dolce & Gabbana from the Fall 2013 collection. (While the runway version hit at the knee, Gomez was wise to wear an altered mini-dress version.) Complete with three quarter sleeves, lace and jewelled embellishments, Gomez certainly stood out on the red carpet. Accessories were kept simple: she paired her outfit with black pointed-toe heels by Casadei and accessorized with jewellery by Neil Lane. Gomez's hair was left down in soft curls—her signature style, really—and she finished off her beauty look with rosy cheeks and red nails to match her sultry red pout.
The other stand-out lady in red at the ESPY awards was actress Olivia Wilde. The season's crop top trend suits her well: she bared a bit of her toned abs in a black leather top and a high waist red-checkered midi skirt, both from the A.L.C Resort 2014 collection. Dare we say it was almost an athletic ensemble? Wilde accessorized with a pair of black-heeled sandals by Jerome C. Rousseau and a black clutch byJimmy Choo. Appearing effortless in the beauty department, she styled her ombre hair in soft curls, while playing up a more romantic look with smoky eyes and nude pink lips.

All of these beauties are available through Monrovia. Look for them in your local garden center or Lowes or buy them online right here. Last week I planted our lettuce garden and a few blueberry bushes. I love this time of year when everything starts to come back to life and nothing makes me happier than seeing those little seeds sprout and buds form. Well, blooming peonies make me pretty darn happy too! Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
This post was sponsored by Monrovia, a brand that I look for when shopping for plants. Thank you for supporting brands that support this blog.

Daily American Correspondent
SIPESVILLE - Mary Kimmel of the Sipesville area may only be 10-years-old but when she and her junior dairy calf 'Jive' team up together, it's a winning combination.
Mary, the daughter of Jennifer and Dan Kimmel, started showing dairy cows last year at 9-years-old, and although she's one of the smallest competitors in the show ring, she's no doubt one of the most determined.
"I really like to work with animals and show my dairy cow," smiles the fourth-grader in the Somerset County Home School program.

Pre-heat oven to 425, put plates in for 30 min, turn oven off and leave plates in there to cool. This system worked great!
I needed something "easy" this year...so I saw this idea on Pinterest and I hope that the baking process goes well! Apparently, all you do is draw on a plate with a sharpie and bake it the oven to set the ink. Fingers crossed!
I had the kids draw a realistic self-portrait and write their name underneath.
Pretty cool!

I do have a little big more done but this is my latest picture. With the way I have the pattern folded for view, it is in 16 sections. This is two sections of the pattern. Two down and 14 to go. This is going to be my mainstay over the winter.
I always start a new project as a reward when I go on retreat. Since retreat is in two weeks, I didn't want to start something new and have yet another UFO. And after my 'sorting' and the ever so harsh reality of sooo many UFO's I thought I would tackle completing a few of my UFO's. But alas, there is a reason they are UFO's.....I lost interest, tastes change, mistakes have been made so I just am not feeling it with any of them. I was looking for some instant gratification type work by trying to complete a little Christmas in July ornie that I have frogged more times than I care to count.
|Just some of my cheaters!
I think I will just go back this week and order new frames with updated progressive lenses.
So for now, I will work on Grace Mason and just not have a project for lunchtime at work....

A central part of chiropractic medicine is the belief that the body can heal itself if given the right support. The word chiropractic comes from the Greek words cheir and praxis. This means hand and practice. The words refer to treatment done by the hands (hands-on therapy).
By moving the spine with their hands or various manipulation tools, chiropractors believe they can make a person's health better without surgery or medicine. They can find problems through physical exam and X-rays. Chiropractors may do lab tests, imaging tests, and other tests. Some also offer nutrition advice and complementary medicine. Some chiropractors also give patients exercises to do at home.
Treatment may involve lying on your stomach on a special table. The chiropractor uses his or her hands and elbows to realign the spine.
Chiropractic treatments may help relieve lower back pain, muscle pain, and other bone pain.
Chiropractic training is not equal to the training that licensed medical doctors receive, although it is extensive and highly focused on the proper structure of the body. Doctors of chiropractic medicine have had at least 3 years of college, with an emphasis on biology or basic sciences. They also have a minimum of 4 years of training at an accredited chiropractic college.

Serving others through love at Camp ReCreation
DCA Online stories
by Paul Gardner
I was about 13 years old when a good friend recommended becoming a counselor at Camp ReCreation, an annual summer camp that builds relationships between teenagers (the camp counselors) and people with special needs (the campers).
At that time, I knew little about working with people with special needs, but I figured there would be cute girl counselors there and it was a chance to be away from my parents for once. I was homeschooled, can you blame me? So, I decided to go.
Despite my immature reasoning, the Lord in His providence made this to be one of the best decisions of my life, and I have continued to go to camp almost every summer since. I wasn't wrong about the cute girl counselors and I even fell in love the very first week, but not with any of them. No, I fell in love with those who struggled to walk, those who needed assistance eating, and those who depended on caregivers during every moment of the day.
Camp ReCreation is divided into two separate, four-day sessions scheduled during the first two full weeks of June. Camp first began at Assumption Abbey in Richardton over 40 years ago, but has since been moved to Richardton-Taylor High School. During each week of Camp, activities include: a bonfire, water-fight, dances, talent show, sing-a-longs, art projects, religion classes, and an assortment of games, bowling, BBQ, magic show, and many other activities. From the moment the campers arrive each year until the closing Mass, it softens even the hardest of hearts to see how the campers enter with great joy and uncontained enthusiasm into the activities of camp. But, while camp has a fun and lively atmosphere, there are also powerful moments of faith.
At camp this past summer, a young man with Down syndrome begged me to stay by his bedside for a few minutes before he went to sleep. I was tired after several days of camp and was anxious to get going.
"But, I have some questions…about Jesus," he said as I attempted to leave.
I am a seminarian. How could I say no to this?
So, he asked questions; I played the role of teacher and did my best to answer his questions as simply as possible.
After a few minutes on this topic, I began to realize in astonishment how much this young man truly loved Jesus and longed to know more about Him.
As our conversation continued, his eyes began to fill with tears. Eventually he asked in a sad voice, "But, why did Jesus have to die on the cross? Why were the soldiers so cruel?"
It was at that moment that I realized that I was no longer the teacher, but the student in the conversation. From all my studies as a seminarian, I could say many intellectual things about Jesus and the cross, but have I ever been moved to tears at the thought of it? Not really. And, here was a young man who loved Jesus with a love so tender that I could not help but to learn from him.
Such are the experiences of many who give their time at Camp ReCreation. Throughout the years, teenagers have come to camp with noble intentions of serving and giving of themselves in love. But, as camp ends each year, one can always hear them saying things among themselves such as, "we wanted to be loving towards people with special needs, but they are the ones who have showed us how to love" and "the campers are so joyful and carefree, they have taught us how to really be ourselves and not worry so much about what others think of us."
My friends, when you meet a person with special needs, that is, when you spend time getting to know them, when you listen to them, pray with them, joke with them, cry, dance, play games and sing with them, a fire begins to build within you. It's a fire that warms you with joy, scorches away your selfishness, consumes your pride, and so purifies your heart that nothing remains in you but a burning love for each daughter and son of God the Father. In that moment, your whole interior being cries in uncontained joy, "I am fully alive! This is how living was meant to be!"
Praise God for the gift of Camp ReCreation and for all the fruits it has produced through the years. Because of their experiences at camp, many of my counselor friends have gone on to find other ways to serve and to give their lives away in love. For me, camp has been a significant part of my call to go to seminary.
If you or someone you know is looking for an opportunity to serve Christ in the most joyful and carefree, I encourage you to consider involving yourself in Camp ReCreation.
Paul Gardner is currently a diocesan seminarian studying Pre-Theology II in Denver at St. John Vianney Seminary. He grew up in the New England area attending St. Mary's Church

How long can Bill Clinton get away with this?
"Americans must decide who we really are," reads a headline over an opinion piece written by the former president. No, Clinton isn't addressing sexual misconduct — the topic currently dominating the national conversation, and one with which he has personal experience. Instead, he's promoting high-minded public policies that promote "cooperation over conflict and build an economy, a society and a politics of addition not subtraction, multiplication, not division."
Clinton's op-ed — an argument against the travel ban which just got the go-ahead from the Supreme Court — was published on the same day President Trump tweeted that Alabama should support Roy Moore, an alleged sexual predator of teenage girls who, if elected to the Senate, will back the Republican tax plan. It also coincides with an op-ed by Billy Bush confirming — in case anyone doubted it — that Trump really did say "Grab 'em by the pussy" on that infamous "Access Hollywood" tape.
When it comes to allegations of sexual misdeeds, Trump and Clinton have a lot in common. Through the power of strong but very different personalities, both were also able to make ideology not morality the priority for voters. Now, with the leverage of the Oval Office and a Congress controlled by Republicans, Trump can deliver on campaign promises like the tax package – all the more reason for his backers to ignore the allegations dredged up by Bush in his damning op-ed.
But the former president is in a much different place. After Hillary Clinton's loss, the wheels are finally coming off the Clinton bus. The breakdown of the Clinton machine comes as the country processes a mishmash of post-Harvey Weinstein sex scandals. That in turn has produced a long-delayed day of reckoning for Clinton relative to his past transgressions. "The end of shame in America began with Bill Clinton," wrote Marc A. Thiessen for The Washington Post. New York Times op-ed writer Michelle Goldberg said she believes Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who accused Clinton of raping her. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who occupies the Senate seat once held by Hillary Clinton, said Bill should have resigned after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Meanwhile, Clinton's accusers showed up at the National Press Club last week to remind the public of their charges against the former president. And Trump is said to be relying on a variation of the legal strategy used by Clinton back in the 1990s, as the president fends off a defamation lawsuit filed by a former contestant on "The Apprentice" who claims he sexually assaulted her.
With all that, is a Bill Clinton op-ed still a "get" worth getting?
Will any future Democrat want Clinton to make the case for his nomination, as the former president did so brilliantly for Barack Obama at the 2012 convention?
On the anniversary of Trump's win over Hillary, Clinton fielded friendly questions on Conan O'Brien's show. How long can Clinton count on hosts willing to skip awkward queries for the prize of booking him as a guest?
Since 2007, Clinton has been hosting meetings with students, university representatives, experts and celebrities at college campuses around the world, to engage what the Clinton Foundation calls "the next generation of leaders." Such a meeting was convened just recently at Northeastern University, featuring Bill and Chelsea Clinton, Northeastern president Joseph E. Aoun, Mayor Martin J. Walsh and former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright. Will a college president say "no" to such a gathering, on the grounds that Clinton isn't a role model for young people?
Or, has the statute of limitations more or less run out on Clinton, so that he doesn't really get lumped in with all the recent bad actors? This is supposedly a watershed moment, with commentators saying sexual harassment will never again be swept under the rug. If true, I'm not so sure Bill Clinton will be included in the disgraced-forever basket of deplorables.
As Clinton writes, Americans must decide who we really are and what we really care about. He — and Trump — probably understand us better than we understand ourselves.Joan Vennochi can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @Joan_Vennochi.

With the March announcement of the Apple Watch, hype around the new wearable simply couldn't be any more deafening. Couple that with Android Wear, which has been out for some time now, and you have a situation that is unavoidable: there is a new screen size and the tectonic plates of computing are shifting yet again. More disruption in a world that is already desperately trying to keep up with all of the devices, resolutions and capabilities.
If it wasn't official before, it is unavoidable now: we have a cross-platform crisis on our hands.
This leaves JavaScript mobile developers wondering: What now? Is Hybrid/Cordova still the right way to go? What aboutNativeScript, Telerik's new framework for building native applications with JavaScript? NativeScript can build native apps, so can it be used to build Watch apps too?
In this article, I'll share with you what the landscape looks like for JavaScript developers working on mobile applications. I'll also share some things Telerik is working on and give you a glimpse into a future that we've been aware of and thinking about for quite some time.
But before we dive into that, let me explain why the Apple Watch is actually not nearly as disruptive as you might think.
Watches introduce an entirely new type of interface. These new devices with minuscule screens have sent us all back to the drawing board. Is Responsive Design now a throw-away concept? How are we going to cram this Bootstrap site onto someone's wrist? Some are even saying that we need to rethink the format of our HTML emails since they will now be on an even smaller screen than before.
The truth is, the Apple Watch is not meant to be your primary mobile device, and that's really good news for developers.
Think of like this: wearables largely free developers from having to worry about an interface. Right now, the Apple Watch essentially supports a very limited number of UI widgets and interactions. The iPhone was a whole different story: ListViews, TabStrips, Switches, Drawers – none of us had seen any of these things before. It was an entirely new, and in many ways it was a much more complex interface.
The Apple Watch is none of those things. It is intentionally simple and as of the time of this writing, completely dependent on the iPhone to function. Simply put, the Apple Watch is mostly about notifications. This makes your job as a developer much easier since you can focus on the function and not the form, which is where hybrid developers tend to expend a lot of energy.
Communicating between Cordova applications and the Apple Watch is possible today thanks to a plugin from Lee Crossleythat provides a message passing interface. The primary limitation at the moment for hybrid (read Cordova) developers, is that a watch interface cannot be built with Cordova since the watch does not support a WebView.
We've been in the hybrid game for a long time at Telerik, and we've been thinking about this one carefully. How can we provide Cordova developers with a mechanism for building mobile applications without excluding wearables? We think, at least for now, that the answer lies in templates.
The idea is that since the watch interface is so simple, we can provide watch interface templates out of the box. All the hybrid developer has to do then is to select which template they like. What would a template look like? We're still defining that, but you could image some that are…
…and those are just a few. The trick is providing the right combinations so that all the developer has to do is to provide the information to the template.
By the way, if you've ever wondered about how Apple got that Salesforce chart on the watch during the keynote, we wrote an article about getting charts on your Apple Watch apps back in early February.
We're also investigating ways to make it simple for developers to send a push notification from our Backend Services and have it seamlessly go all the way through to the watch template without the developer having to do any plumbing.
Now let's turn our attention to NativeScript for a moment, because there are some very exciting possibilities when it comes to truly native applications built with NativeScript.
NativeScript is Telerik's new open-source framework for building native mobile apps with JavaScript.
NativeScript was designed from the ground up to be extensible. The NativeScript runtime will take any native call made in JavaScript and proxy it to C++ which in turn executes the Objective-C APIs. That means that as long as your call is well formed, you can call any native method, regardless of whether or not NativeScript provides a module for it.
This is how NativeScript builds the UI. The UI is defined with markup, which is parsed by NativeScript and then the native controls are created programmatically using the proxied JavaScript-to-Native. This is a highly efficient way of creating the UI. However, Watch Apps are unique because they rely entirely on Storyboards.
Storyboards are a concept that is unique to iOS. They allow the developer to visually create the user interface and flow of an application. In a traditional iOS application, a developer could create visual elements either programmatically, or with storyboards. In a Watch Application, the only way to build the user interface is with a storyboard.
This presents a challenge, but it's not like that's new territory for NativeScript.
The team has already started proofing out what it takes to accommodate storyboards and extensions in NativeScript. You can see some early POCs in the NativeScript repo. In addition to supporting storyboards and extensions, the NativeScript team is also considering offering templates as well to facilitate the fastest watch development experience possible.
Thanks to the extensible nature of NativeScript, really anything goes.
If there was a strict device policy at your place of employment, it's destiny is now way up in the air. Wearables are the most personal computing device any of us have seen so far, and they are only going to further the mandate on developers that applications work cross-platform.
It might have been doable to write an iOS and Android app, but now an iOS app, Watch app, Android app, Android Wear app? This, my friend, does not scale.
Sooner or later we'll be writing apps for phones, watches, glasses, toe rings and anything else we can find good reason to turn into a wearable. If you were thinking about making the switch to a cross-platform development strategy such as Hybrid or NativeScript, you can feel confident that the underlying architecture of those will support the next generation of wearable gadgets.

Munchen is such a fun city to visit and one that decided to keep their quaintness after the war. They voted to rebuilt their city to look just like it did before the bombs were dropped.
I am going again this week but last week I went with Bridger's class to go hang out at an art museum and then visit the food market.
The only art piece I was interested in is the one of a food market. This painting is 400 years old and I like to admire the variety of fruits and vegetables that was available. This is Whole Foods, old-school style.
After this gorgeous lunch in the sun of falafels, hummus and mixed salads with a warm pita I decided to go around and buy dinner for the evening.
It consisted of fresh cheese, mixed olives, salad and a bottle of Rose' Prosecco. I am pretty sure I had more fun then the kids.

In order to make it easier for you to find information and move about the Forefront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) TechNet Library documentation, we would like to make you aware of some re-structuring within the TechNet Library. Of course we will continue to update and enhance the technical product information that we provide about FOPE, but this particular refresh included more than the average topic improvements.
Why did we do this?
We've been gradually improving your information and its structure to order to make it easier for you to learn about, start and maintain FOPE. It's our hope that the current format more closely matches our docs with the tasks that you perform. For example, in the Setup and Provisioning section, we added information and improved the set-up checklist. We also moved information about technical support and navigation so that it's combined with more-closely related tasks. Furthermore, we wanted to make it easier for you to compare and integrate FOPE information with Exchange Server information, so we incorporated some traditional Exchange documentation styles.
What was done?
- Consolidated several topics into just one if there was an entire page for just one or two sentences.
- Grouped together topics that contained similar or related information.
- Rewrote topic titles for clarity, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and better alignment with Exchange Server terms. In many cases we revised the content within the topics as well.
What's next?
We expect to continue updating the FOPE documentation with new technical information as necessary and responding to your feedback too. One recent example of this includes the clarifications about enabling the HIPAA policy filter based on questions submitted through the TechNet feedback system. We invite your feedback about the FOPE documentation and encourage you to use the TechNet star-rating system to rate topics and give feedback. Look for this near the upper right corner of each page in the TechNet Library and use it to let us know what you think:
When you click a star there to rate a topic, we'll see whatever you type in the pop-up feedback box. There are also a variety of community sites in which we encourage you to ask questions, provide information, and interact with other FOPE users:
- FOPE Forum
- Exchange Online Forum

Wanted everyone to see the new cover we had commissioned for Book #2 of our Trilogy... and the 2nd Edition of Book #1 is getting a full makeover and full editing as well...
ATARI Corp. - Business Is War
Cover for upcoming book released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the founding of Atari Corporation.
New York, New York - July 2, 2014 -- 1984 was a tumultuous time in the home video game industry. Crashing spectacularly, video game titan Atari Inc. was split up by parent Warner Communications on July 2,1984 with it's brand name and half the company sold to Commodore International founder Jack Tramiel. Recently ousted from his own company, the Auschwitz survivor and computer industry titan (who regularly equated business to war) started over in a hostile landscape and against mass amounts of inherited debt. Atari Corporation was Jack's last attempt at recapturing his earlier success while keeping the Atari brand going strong during a time when Nintendo, SEGA, Apple, and PC clones began to dominate video games and home computers.
The noted video game historian team of Marty Goldberg and Curt Vendel, co-authors of the popular book 'Atari Inc. – Business is Fun,' will tell the story of Atari Corporation in their upcoming book 'Atari Corp. - Business Is War.' But in honor of the 30th anniversary of Jack's founding of Atari Corporation, they're releasing the book's stunning cover in advance to video game and computer fans alike. Hand painted by artist Lukas Ketner, the cover personifies the company, it's products and history.
"Our intent was to really have a cover that embodies the company at a glance," said
Goldberg. "The iconic Jack Tramiel and his sons Sam, Leonard and Gary surrounded by the now legendary products they introduced to us. At the same time, the seriousness and competitive business nature Jack and his companies were known for had to be shown. Lukas captured it all perfectly and in a style that anyone who group up with Atari should recognize!"
Vendel elaborates, "Atari Corporation was a completely different company than Atari Inc. Not just in people and products, but in vision, philosophy and presence. Jack's masterful resuscitation in the consumer marketplace of a brand that was so close to going off the edge of a cliff is a story that will surprise and awe many. We sought out Lukas because of the skills and expression demonstrated in the Atari 2600 inspired artwork he did for app developer Panic. And we think you'll agree he didn't disappoint here either!"

What is the matter with you that you do not hope for honor from Allah, when He created you by successive stages? (Surah Nuh, 13-14)
Those who support the deceit of evolutionary creation, interpret the words successive stages as meaning "going through evolutionary stages," according to their own perverted logic. However, interpreting the Arabic word atwaran as evolutionary stages, which is no more than a personal opinion, is not unanimously accepted by all Islamic scholars.
Atwar (situation, condition) is the plural of tawru, and appears in that form in no other Qur'anic verse. The Islamic world's interpretations of this verse demonstrate that fact that this verse contains no statement concerning the theory of evolution in any form.
In his interpretation, Muhammed Hamdi Yazir of Elmali translated the verse as: "He has created you stage by stage through several conditions." In his commentary, he described these stages as "steps of evolution." However, this description has nothing to do with evolution, which proposes that man's roots lie in other living species. In fact, immediately afterwards he says what these stages are:
According to the explanation given by Abus Suud first come the elements, then nutriments, then mixtures, then sperm, then a piece of flesh, then flesh and bone, and this is finally shaped with a completely different creation. "Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!" (Surat al-Muminun, 14) Is not Allah, the Almighty Creator, worthy of praise and respect? Can He not raise you still further with another form and creation? Or can He not also destroy you and cast you down into sorrowful torment? Why do you not think of these things?
As the above statements show, this verse describes how a person reaches his or her mother's womb as a sperm, develops as an embryo and then as a piece of flesh, and then develops into flesh and bone before emerging into the world as a human being.
In Imam al-Tabari's commentary, Surah Nuh, 14 is translated as "In fact, he created you by stages," and interpreted this as meaning, "You were first in the form of a sperm, then He created you as a blood clot, then a small piece of flesh."46
Omar Nasuhi Bilmen translates the verse as "In fact, He created you through various degrees," and goes on to interpret it as follows:
He (created) you through various degrees. You were first of all a seed, then a drop of blood. You became a piece of flesh and possessed bones, then you were born as a human being. Are not all these assorted and exemplary occurrences and changes shining proofs of the existence, power, and greatness of a Lord of Creation? Why do you not think of your own creation? 47
As we see here, Muslim Qur'anic scholars agree that the interpretation of Surah Nuh: 14 refers to the process involved in the development of the human being from the joining of a sperm and an egg. That the verse is to be interpreted in this way is clear from the principle of "interpreting Qur'anic verses in the light of other Qur'anic verses," because in other verses Allah explains the stages of creation as being those inside the mother's womb. That is why atwaran has to be translated in this way. It is clearly sees that the word atwaran carries this meaning. It is not justified to use the word as support for the theory of evolution, which tries to tie the origins of man to another living species.

phil is the only one who was keeping it real from the beginning. or was made to by nature.
You can hear Jonny massively out of tune on the first chorus and working on it immediately afterwards, except he leaves the guitar volume too low for the second chorus. You can tell he's never been very enthusiastic about the song.
A classic indeed.

It was nice to see a dog living in the right climate, arctic dogs should not live in Australia.

Artist: Lynn Julian
Album: Cookie Cutter Girl
CD Review:
Artist: Lynn Julian (www.cookiecuttergirl.com)Album: Cookie Cutter GirlRating: 50%Rating Key: 0 - 19% (It hurt to listen) 20 - 29% (Awful) 30 - 39% (Bad) 40 - 49% (Almost average) 50 - 59% (Average) 60 - 69% (Good, but has problems) 70 - 79% (A good record) 80 - 89% (You must check it out!) 90 - 95% (Best Ive heard in a long time!) 95 - 100% (Incredible! Nothing like it!)Lynn Julian is a gal that has some serious ambition. She glows with goals of Freeing women everywhere from the mold in which society has held them captive. What do you do when you have such ambition? Thats right, you turn yourself into a superhero. Complete with knee high boots, pink top, and a glimmering headband - Cookie Cutter Girl claims to be Power Pop with a Punch! When I received this record in the mail, I felt that I may not be suitable as the reviewer. Since I dont have the parts to unite with the CCGs of America, I did what any confused male would do - I let my girlfriend take a listen. Of course I listened too. Multiple times as a matter of fact, trying to put my finger on exactly what I thought of this CD. Heres where I think Lynn Julian has the right idea. Her marketing strategies are great. Shes empowering women - and lord knows women buy CDs. Shes got an image - sure it may be corny, but it made me take a second look
and a third
and a fourth. Shes got a website thats chalked full of information and praise from other people... Pretty much anything that you would need to promote a record, shes covered all the bases! All the way down to a screaming yellow CCG car that shes using as a moving billboard! So heres where I thought the record fell short. Musically. Really the songs arent bad. Julian has a soulful, powerful voice that leads a record with some really great production qualities. There are even a couple of tunes that with a bit of rearranging could be pretty darn good. The tune Get the Picture stands out as one of those. Its got a strong chorus with driving guitars - pretty much a straight forward, catchy rock tune. Jenny is another song with a good chorus and some pretty decent musical points. Thats just it though - throughout the record theres nothing that really stands out and forces me to give it an above average rating. I will say this - the way she had everything packaged, I was almost sure that there was going to be something great about it. Yes, it comes across as corny - but shes talked herself up enough to make me question whether or not Ive written the right review. So with that said there must be something great about this record, it just might not be in the area that she was hoping for.

It's little known fact, but my husband courted me over tea. We'd sit at his mom's kitchen table covered in a red and white checked table cloth and brew tea and talk until all hours of the night. He with his Cincinnati Bengals mug and I with a white Corelle mug with blue trim. The tea? Your standard Lipton original. It didn't matter. As with all tea moments, it's more about who you're with, not what you're sipping.
So, I'm always a little sentimental when we have a quiet, spontaneous tea moment at our own kitchen table these days. On a rare occasion, Edie is dropped off at daycare, and we have 20 or 30 minutes before our respective work days begin. On this particular occasion, I told him I was going to try a sample of Chai that had been sent to me. He has always liked Chai, so he said he'd join me in the taste test.
The Chai in question was Tipu's Authentic Indian Chai. Specifically, their new Instant Black Chai. I have to admit, I don't have much experience with Chai. If offered a choice, I always fall back on a black breakfast tea blend rather than chai. For me, this was a fun change of pace. I used hot milk, as the directions recommended, and stirred in a teaspoon of the instant chai. I was tempted to use the Cincinnati Bengals mug (which made the journey to California with us). The Chai is unsweetened, so I added some sweetener to each mug.
The first sip is always my favorite. Spicy and creamy, the Chai was perfect for an overcast, slightly misty October morning. Gene was an instant fan. As it turned out, he had just run out of coffee and decided that this could become a welcome replacement because it felt substantial and filling, the way coffee can be. High praise, indeed. Our only challenge was the idea of heating milk, if we were to indulge every day. We don't have a milk steamer or an espresso machine, so it's either boiling it in a pan on the stove or warming it in our mugs in the microwave.
Our solution came with our experiment the following morning. I put the kettle on and made the Chai using boiling water, leaving plenty of room for milk. I poured a generous glug of milk into each mug and stirred in the chai. The results was very satisfying in every way. Perhaps the brew was not as creamy as using pure milk, but it had enough. And the ritual of the tea kettle can be retained. Win-win.
I think we may have found our bridge between my morning tea and his morning coffee. Morning Chai. Thank you Tipu's!

I still cannot believe that panna cotta can be this easy to make. Seriously, someone pinch me.
R loves panna cotta and orders it whenever he can. Of late, after a few disappointments where we were served more of a custard pudding rather than actual creamy panna cotta, he had been pestering me to make it – accompanied by the usual flatteries of how I am the best baker/ cook he knows etc. J
Somehow, without ever looking up the recipe, I always thought that the recipe (not taste) would be more like a custard and involve tedious amounts of time over the stove while cooking eggs with sugar. Note to self: do not assume and check facts first.
I don't think this took me more than 5 minutes to make, setting aside the time for the gelatine of course. It super easy (did I mention that already) and I made a healthier version by swapping half the full cream with whole milk. I also infused the cream and milk with lavender flowers (make sure you buy the edible version else it may taste like soap!). I added a few drops of honey on top after it had set but realized that it did not need the additional sweetness. I grated some lemon zest on top and added a few toasted almonds. I liked it but R said it made the panna cotta too busy.
This was not the perfect panna cotta by any means and my search is still on. However, let's see if the following changes yield up better results the next time:
1. Use full cream instead of half cream and half milk
2. Less sugar and more honey
3. Berry compote instead of lavender
4. Strain out the lavender flowers after infusing
5. Chocolate panna cotta?
6. Make plain panna cotta with more vanilla
Panna Cotta (inspired by David Lebovitz)
Makes 8 - 12 servings depending on the size of your cups
- 4 cups (1l) heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, or 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon lavender flowers
- 2 packets powdered unflavored gelatin (about 4 1/2 teaspoons
- 6 tablespoons (90ml) cold water
1. Heat the heavy cream or half-and-half and sugar in a saucepan . Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
(If using a vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from the bean into the cream and add the bean pod. Add lavender flowers. Cover, and let infuse for 30 minutes. Remove the bean and flowers, then rewarm the mixture before continuing.)
2. Lightly oil eight custard cups with a neutral-tasting oil (I used silicone muffin cups - it makes it easier to unmold).
3. Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a medium-sized bowl and let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Pour the very warm Panna Cotta mixture over the gelatin and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
5. Divide the Panna Cotta mixture into the prepared cups, then chill them until firm, which will take at least two hours but I let them stand at least four hours.
If you're pressed for time, pour the Panna Cotta mixture into wine goblets so you can serve them in the glasses, without unmolding.
6. Run a sharp knife around the edge of each Panna Cotta and unmold each onto a serving plate, and garnish as desired.

Tampering With Government Records: What Can Happen?
Tampering with government records is never a good idea. Even if you are a pro with computers and can hack your way into anything, you have to consider what the consequences would be if you were to get caught. Laws have been changed since then and are now stricter than ever. So you need to be aware if you are planning to tamper with any government files that the punishment is ten times worse now than it ever was before.
If you are caught you will be arrested first and foremost. After this your bail will be determined and you may not even have the chance to pay bail and get out on parole, depending on how serious the crime was that you are charged with. The price of bail increases based on the severity of the crime. Then it will basically just be a matter of how good a lawyer you hire or in other words the best lawyer that you can afford and who is prosecuting you.
Remember that because there have been so many issues lately with people obtaining phone records and government record and using them in a negative way, you are going to be used as an example. This is especially true these days where crimes like these are considered to be very serious and are not taken lightly. By using you as an example this is going to hopefully ward off others from going down the same road and doing the same thing. The punishment for tampering with government records is very severe.
The punishment right now ranges anywhere from a few hours community service to a few years in jail. You may even be sentenced to a combination of charges and end up paying a fine and spending time in jail. Not only that, but also different law officials are working even harder now to make the punishment even tougher. Tampering with government records can obviously get you in a lot of trouble.
Of course no matter what the punishment is there are still always going to be those people who are going to continue to commit crimes like this. They do not think about the consequences that they may face as a result of it. There will always be people who think they are better than that and do not think they are going to get caught. They just better be ready to go to jail if they do ever get caught tampering with government records.
