Bamby Salcedo's testimony at a congressional hearing with Rep. Loretta Sanchez on November 25, 2013:
Good morning Congress Member Sanchez and thank you so much for holding this important hearing for our community, please know that we do appreciate your commitment to the issues of Trans Latin@s. I also would like to thank MALDEF and Freedom to Work for giving me the opportunity to participate in this hearing. My name is Bamby Salcedo and I am the President of the TransLatin@ Coalition, a national organization that advocates for the specific needs and issues of TransLatin@ immigrants who reside in the United States. Our organization started in 2009 as a grass roots response to the needs and issues of TransLatin@ immigrants in the United States.
I am here to share with you some of the findings of TransVisible: Transgender Latina Immigrants in US society; TransVisible is a research project conducted by our organization in conjunction with Karla Padron who is a researcher with the University of Minnesota. In this project we interviewed a 101 trans Latina immigrant women in different parts of the country. We generated a report that we are presenting to you, for you to have. The focus areas of our report are: U.S. Identification, Education, Employment, Health Care Services and Interpersonal and Structural Violence; but for the purpose of this hearing and the limited time, I will only emphasize Employment, migration and health care.
In our TransVisible report we found that 61% of the participants reported coming to this country running away from violence in search of better economic opportunities, we also found in our study that 99% of the respondents stated that having a legal immigration status was very important to them and almost half of the participants were between 29 to 39 years of age. In our study we also found that 51% of the participants had some type of employment, 22 of the respondents stated that they earn up to 11,170.00 per year but 37 of the respondents decided not to answer the question about how much money they earn in a year. We believe that many of the respondents who did not answer about how much money they made was because they were ashamed because they may consider their employer to be the sex industry or have very low paying jobs. A reason for us to believe this was because 91% of the people who said that they had employment responded that they do not have medical insurance through their work. 33% of the respondents stated that they have been fired or harassed in their place of work for being Trans Latina and 34% of the respondents reported being employed by the sex industry. Again, we believe that the 34% is low based on the interactions that we have with the community and the continuous lack of opportunities within our society for a trans person to be able to obtain employment. On this note is important specify that Trans Latin@s who are immigrant face additional barriers trying to secure employment, such as the acculturation to this country, language barriers and low educational levels to mention just a few. In our report there are a few personal testimonies, but I would like to share just one with you: "there are people who do not accept us because we are Trans, if we were accepted, we would be able to get a job anywhere" and that is exactly why The Employment Non Discrimination Act is vital in our community.
I constantly hear from members of my community how they are discriminated against at their work. Those who have a job often times they are not able to defend themselves due to fear of losing their jobs. One of our members in Florida is going through an issue that will be presented next. Another member of our organization is going through similar discrimination issues in San Diego from an organization that she works at that want for her to sign a voluntary resignation.
These are just a couple of examples that we are presenting to you, but the reality of our community is that many of these cases are not documented and often unheard of, in addition, there are many trans people who come forward to share their experiences with work discrimination but most of the LGBT legal organizations that are out there will not even hear our cases because they do not think is a "big case that will give the organization prestige" or it is not a case that will help them raise funds. Because of this, policy makers such as your self do not have the opportunity to hear what happens in our community but the truth is that our community is going through very challenging times when it comes to employment discrimination.
I want to thank you Congress Member Sanchez for your attention to my testimony. In closing I also would like to inform you that, I am a Trans woman who have benefited from community support, the community who saw me as an asset and not as a deficit. I can proudly say that as a formally homeless person I am now a productive member of our society. I currently hold a position with Children's Hospital Los Angeles overseeing our Health Education Unit and I also am a full time University student. Having this hearing gives me hope and it truly shows your investment in my community. I do understand that five minutes will not give us the opportunity to address all of our issues. I would like for us to continue the conversation on how together we can advance the issues of trans Latin@s and increase needed services for our community particularly those who are immigrant in this country and those who live in your district. Again, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for your attention to my testimony.

Decisions, decisions. Do you need a cupcake...or, do you need to stuff your face with at least five types of chocolate?
How about both?
You can satisfy both of these desires in one compact form by way of this mega-chocolate cupcake at Sugarush (tagline: "a Sweet Experience") in Red Bank, NJ (also home of Jay and Silent Bob). They provide this magical service wherein they will mix and match their frosting and cake flavors to create a unique taste experience just for you, and on a recent trip, I chose to experience CHOCOLATE.
I did this by doing the following:
- First, I chose the chocolate cake.
- I then asked them to fill it with chocolate (thanks!).
- Next, I requested that they top it with triple chocolate fudge frosting (thanks again!).
- And finally, when offered a drizzle of chocolate and chocolate chips on top...well, I think you can guess what I said.
The next step was basically chocolate awesome overload. You know how sometimes such a hit of chocolatey goodness will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and like taking a little nap and cuddling in the sunlight afterward? This was that sort of experience. Don't pretend you don't know what I mean.
And believe it or not, the entire thing only cost less than $4. I forget the exact amount, but it was very reasonable considering all of the bells and whistles I got.
Experience this magic yourself: visit Sugarush in Red Bank at 37 E. Front Street, Red Bank, NJ. Online here.

text: Tips to Safely Heat Your Home This Winter Published on November 02, 2016 Every year over 20,000 people end up in the ER because of carbon monoxide poisoning. This colorless, odorless gas is known as the silent killer because it's essentially undetectable without a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide, as specified by the CDC, is given off by gas ranges, furnaces, fireplaces, stoves, and boilers so it only makes sense that carbon monoxide poisoning increases during the colder months when people are trying to warm their homes. To help keep you safe, A-PLUS Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning is here with a couple tips to safety keep your home heated. Install a CO detector on each floor of your home and replace the batteries every year.Keep all potential sources of combustion, such as clothing, rugs, or bedding, a distance over three feet away from furnaces, space heaters, fire places, or stoves.Before lighting a fire in the fireplace, always check to ensure the chimney damper is open and unblocked.Never leave portable heaters or fireplaces unwatched. Power off space heaters and confirm all embers in the fireplace are completely extinguished before leaving either heating source unattended.Space heaters should always be placed on the floor, and on a hard, nonflammable surface, like ceramic tile. Keep young ones and animals away from space heaters.When purchasing a new space heater, purchase a model that turns off automatically if the heater falls over.Don't use a oven to warm your home.Have fireplaces, chimneys, gas or oil furnaces, and coal and wood stoves professionally inspected and cleaned yearly. The best thing you can do for your furnace is to make sure it's not only all set to keep your family warm all winter but also safe, is to set-up your heating tune-up. During your heating tune-up, A-PLUS Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning will check to make sure your furnace is operating safely with a complete multi-point inspection and cleaning.

I want to display templates I have made on my site, using newly aquired skills, but does this cheapen what we do as web designers? I don't do many sites but I want the templates to act as a starter for what I can do.
6 answers
I'm not 100% sure of what your asking, but it's pretty common to have a portfolio site with screenshots of your work, frequently with links to the actual site. It's a little less common to provide html templates, unless you're intentionally providing themes for a commonly used back-end tool like drupal or wordpress, in which case, there are a bunch of sites oriented toward that. (I'm on a slow connection, or I'd look some of them up.)
Or, if you're asking about having a starter template for yourself to make the initial build process easier, I'd say that's a good idea, since many sites have a commons structure. It partially depends on how you're building your sites, but YUI has a framework, there's 960grid, blueprint, etc.. Here's one roundup of some css frameworks.
If they're much better, replace them. Or have an archives section, or just have it go back into the past. My portfolio only has about a third of the work I've done on it.
Your portfolio is only as strong as your weakest piece so be ruthless when choosing what to display.
If it's your work, and you don't have contractual obligations which prevent it, (edit: and you like it) put it on your portfolio....
Thanks for the response, I re-read my question and it was a bit ambiguous. I have a small portfolio of work I have done displayed on my site, but I have developed new web design skills since making most of these sites and would like to display them somewhere. I guess my question is: would you display this new body of work, on your own site as templates or somewhere else?
I know designers who promote themselves making free web templates. It is is enough effective

Foster Mom Discovers 12 Year Old Afghan Refugee In Her Care Is 21 Year Old JihadiA foster mother, earlier, offered shelter to a 12-year-old Afghan refugee, but later she was shocked to discover that the minor boy she helped was in fact a 21 year old jihadi.
As per the report in The Sun that Rosie – carer, thought that Jamal who is the minor boy in her care, was a child refugee who had fled Afghanistan. He was almost a decade older than what she had been told he was.
Rosie had allowed Jamal into her family after social workers told her that he was an orphan.
Later, Rosie discovered the real age of minor boy – Jamal only when she took him to the dentist for a check up, where the doctor said that the boy was much older than he claimed, after which an investigation was launched.
The police found that Jamal had stored Taliban and child abuse material on his mobile phone during the investigation.
Rosie told police that she had always been suspicious about the growing facial hair and gun proficiency of Jamal.
The last word of Jamal to Rosie before he was taken away by the police that I will kill you and I know where your children are.
This incident comes in the wake of recent security lapses where migrants claiming to be children entered UK from Calais camps.
Recently, a Conservative party MP suggested that dental checks must be used to determine the age of migrants who are entering the United Kingdom from France under a new agreement reached between the two countries over refugee children.
Monmouth MP David Davies said that mandatory teeth checks would reassure people that the unaccompanied migrants coming into the UK to join relatives were indeed children.
Rosie, voicing her opinion on dental checks, said that adults are playing the system. It is putting families like mine and society as a whole at risk.
She added that I do not see anything wrong with dental and bone density checks. Some say they are intrusive and degrading. But having a man in your home who's pretending to be a child is far more intrusive.

Leisure centres power life saving heart scannerPublished Monday, 13th February 2017
Partnership with Places for People Leisure raises thousands for the British Heart Foundation.
Places for People Leisure Centres which is managed on behalf of Rotherham Council have announced that their partnership with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has raised a phenomenal £6,617 towards the Rotherham Scanner Appeal.
The BHF launched the appeal to raise £108,633 to buy a new heart scanner for Rotherham Hospital in late 2015 and the funds raised by the Places for People Leisure teams are an important contribution towards the total.
Staff and members at Rotherham Leisure Complex, Wath-upon-Dearne Leisure Centre, Aston Leisure Centre and Maltby Leisure Centre got involved by holding wear red events and raffles plus encouraged everyone to donate bags of stock to fill local BHF shops. Members took part in a cardiac challenge event at Rotherham Leisure Centre and several staff took on personal long distance cycling challenges to raise funds.
Mark Rawding, Contract Manager at Places for People Leisure said: "The BHF is leading the fight against heart disease and we are so pleased to have contributed to support their vital work. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our employees, customers and suppliers in helping us make a real difference."
Lauren Mallinson, Partnerships Manager at the BHF, added: "We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped make our partnership with Places for People Leisure such a success. Heart disease is an urgent problem. Too many lives are lost to heart and circulatory conditions each year, and the money raised from this partnership will play a crucial role in helping us keep more hearts beating locally."

Indywood has big news—both temporary and permanent.
1) A Temporary Location
We hope our summer of Bike-In screenings provided some adventure for y'all. But after hauling our equipment, screen(s) and popcorn machinery all around downtown New Orleans, we're glad to be moving into a temporary home.
Powerful Fitness, a martial arts studio at 4210 St. Claude, is Indywood's temporary Kung Fu Cinema.
Throughout the month of September (and potentially a little longer), we'll be showing excellent indie films all weekend long (Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights).
We're back to three nights a week! Indywood is slowly crawling out of the ashes and soon this phoenix shall soar!
On that note: A much bigger piece of good news…
2.) A Permanent Location
We have a grand announcement…(drumroll please):
Or at least we're pretty darn sure—confident enough to announce it.
We're still waiting for the real estate deal to go through, but a good friend of ours was able to buy a building. It's well situated on St. Claude.
Thus opens a new chapter in the history of Indywood. We've been wandering the wilderness for quite a while… now we have the Promised Land in our sights.
But of course this chapter opens to a whole new set of challenges.
We're now working on hashing out many details about the building, but we will have a solid plan for our build-out and our re-opening coming soon.
Thanks so much to all of y'all for sticking with us through this journey. We'll keep you posted.

By Sharni Brodesky, B.Sc.(Psychology)(Hons.);M.Sc.Med.(Psychotherapy)
Immigration is rated as the second highest life "stressor" according to the DSM, after death of a spouse. This means that life's general difficulties can become exacerbated for Olim who move to Israel. In fact, there is a high rate of return to country of origin for new Olim (approx. 30%) in the first three years of making Aliyah. Research shows that there is a natural settlement/acculturation process that takes approximately 5 years to pass through before immigrants feel more successfully settled and fully functional in Israel. During this process, there are predictable periods that immigrants are more likely to experience feelings of depression, disillusionment, incompetence, low self esteem, overwhelm, frustration, disappointment, isolation, homesickness, despair, and in general, the experience that life is a struggle. It is during these times that Olim who decide to return their countries of origin, often make these decisions.
For example, they arrive in a country that is essentially a war zone, which can be a traumatic experience, along with entering a society with different coping mechanisms, where locals are quite hardened to their reality and provide little comfort; they find themselves in a new place, without their old friends, family, home, work, social network, a new language, and a whole set of life-long skills that may be experienced as lacking value in the new environment, etc.
These external variables are only the starting point. Olim also have emotional lives; they bring with them their own personality and coping mechanisms. Depending on levels of stress experienced before/during/after the migration period, various issues, new or reoccurring, may be triggered. They may also bring previous/existing mental health issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, personality issues, etc), marital/familial/ relationship issues, etc, that immigration may exacerbate. They also have fresh experiences of separation and loss from family left behind. When they face a lot of difficulties in their settlement process, it can cause problems in the family unit, marriage, relationships, learning difficulties, along with social/emotional issues in children, depression, high anxiety, dysthemia, adjustment disorders and more. Prolonged stress and struggles with mental health have a negative impact on integration/acculturation, including levels of productivity.
Adjustment therapy aims to assist Olim through Aliyah experiences, by helping people to deal with these problems at a deeper level before they get out of hand, to reduce the overwhelm and before they make reactive decisions, for example, to leave Israel. It also aims to give them opportunity to work through issues that may be obstacles to settlement, and once processed, will hopefully open up their potential and capacity to make positive contributions to Israel and their own lives.
It also aims to assist Olim that have invested so much in the process of making Aliyah, to feel understood and supported, and as a result, more contained, less anxious and relieved, knowing the option for professional therapeutic intervention is available when the need arises. Receiving specialized treatment and intervention for adjustment issues, culture shock, transitions, etc. makes a vital difference in helping Olim integrate better. As research shows, emotional health is the basis on which a successful immigration/Aliyah process depends upon.

Sharni Brodesky is the Places's expert on Aliyah Adjustment. To make an appointment with Sharni please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 02-581-8299.

Double opt-in mechanism is a best practice when sending emails. It protects the platform from wrong or invalid email addresses, spambots, and prevents possible spam complaints.
The principle is to send an email to confirm the visitor's agreement before storing them as 'profiles' into your Campaign database: the visitor fills out an online landing page, then receives an email and has to click in the confirmation link to finalize its subscription.
Create and publish a landing page so that the visitors can register and subscribe. This landing page will be available from a website. Visitors who fill in and submit this landing page will be stored in the database but 'blacklisted', in order not to receive any communication before the final validation (see Managing blacklisting in Campaign).
These steps have to be set up in Adobe Campaign in a specific order to have all parameters enabled properly.
The process to setup double opt-in mechanism starts with the creation of the confirmation landing page: this page will be displayed when the visitors clicked on the confirmation email in order to register.
Design a new landing page based on the Profile acquisition (acquisition) template. Enter the label 'CONFIRMATION'.
If you need to use services, you can also use the Subscription (sub) template.
This context removes the blacklist field, in order to be able to send emails. We will see later that the first landing page was setting this field to true before confirmation, to prevent from sending emails to non-confirmed profiles. For more on this, see Step 3: Create the acquisition landing page.
Once the confirmation landing page is created, you can design the confirmation email: this email will be automatically sent to every visitor who validates the acquisition landing page. This validation is considered as an event and the email is a transactional message, linked to a specific typology rule which allows to target opt-out populations.
Steps to create these elements are described below. You need to follow them before creating the acquisition landing page itself as this email template will be referenced in it.
The confirmation email is a transactional message as it reacts to an event: the validation of the form. You must first create the event and then create the template of the transactional message.
The event is ready. You can now design the email template. This template must include a link to the CONFIRMATION landing page created before. For more on this, see Design the confirmation message.
You need to create a specific typology rule, by duplicating an out-of-box one. This rule will allow to send messages to profiles who did not confirm their agreement yet and are still blacklisted. By default, typology rules exclude opt-out (i.e. blacklisted) profiles. To create this typology rule, follow these steps:
The confirmation email is a transactional message based on the event created before. Follow the steps below to create this message:
You have to create the initial acquisition landing page: this op-in form will be published on your website.
Design a new landing page based on the Profile acquisition (acquisition) template. Enter the label 'ACQUISITION'.
Edit the landing page properties: in the Job > Additional data section, click Add an element and enter the following context path:
This is mandatory to force blacklist and avoid sending messages to visitors who did not confirm their agreement. The validation of the CONFIRMATION landing page will set this field to false after confirmation. For more on this, see Step 1: Create the confirmation landing page.

Phantom Dog Beneath the Moon "The Trees, The Sea in a Lunar Stream" Rusted Rail records 2010 RR22
"The Trees, The Sea in a Lunar Stream" is actually their first album - a debut following by "In a Light" as Snowmachine released on Deserted Village and a 3" EP "Through a forest only" under current alias.
Vocals, guitars, piano, cello, glockenspiel, bass guitar, melodica, double bass, harpsichord, vibraphone and a slight touch of electronics make their way to the point where singer/songwriter etiquette loses with psychedelia and fragile sphere of inner journey.
There is a great deal of poetry in this which isn't suppresive by any means and has enough power to become more than a music wallpaper which is a usual fact in case of songs of this type.
Two gentlemen refer to Nick Drake's archetype in their own manner and style - very much retro and gets everything what is good from that.
Time to chill out...

Alright, seriously. Whoever is switching the image of the actual prop to the replica needs to stop, please. There's no good reason for using an undetailed, unprecise replica, in place of the ACTUAL Time-Turner. Vokson (talk) 18:20, June 10, 2013 (UTC)
Should the image really be of a collectible replica, instead of the one seen in the film? I would think a screenshot (or art from the book, if applicable) is preferable. Oread 01:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, the image should be of the time-turner as it is seen in the books or films. however, I will say that utilising images of replicas might be preferable in some cases, where said object is barely visible. That's something that we probably need a policy on, so I've reverted for now. The image isn't the best quality (I should know - I originally uploaded it) and could probably do with a better image. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 07:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- I think, that a collectible replica is preferable here. On the current image (a replica) you can see a lot of details, that you can't see in the film --Thorning 20:08, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
- I think, we should make a vote --Thorning 13:34, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Effect on Human age
I've removed the following sentences from the Time Turner article for reasons listed below:
"It is also unknown what the effect of living what is essentially another year had on Hermione, whether her use of the Time-Turner for such an extended period of time added an entire year to her physical life."
Nowhere is it stated that Hermione was using it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Rather, it was used so that she could attend classes that occured simultaneously. She was also only attending three more classes than Harry and Ron (Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, and Muggle Studies) and neither of them required Time Turners. If it is assumed that she used it an average of 3 hours per day, 5 days per week for the 9 months of the Hogwarts school year (which is a generous assumption since she dropped Divination around Easter, and not all classes are stated to take place daily), that would add up to only 25 extra days in total. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).
- This logic seems pretty sound. However, even if Hermione only added 25 days to her life, it may have still had a significant impact. It means she would've turned 17 a month before her officially-recognized 17th birthday on September 19, 1996. Thus, The Trace may have expired on her early, allowing her to do magic outside of Hogwarts without getting caught. But I suppose that all depends on whether expiry of The Trace is based on one's recorded birthdate or on the age of one's body. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 23:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- Weren't there references in the book or whether hints, that she was also using it to get her homework done. I was under the impression that the only way she could get all her homework done, and help Hagrid with Buckbeak's trial, was to use the time-turner. There was also that spot where she turned back time, but then fell asleep and didn't make it to her Charm's class, I can't remember where it was, I just remember Harry or Ron saying how she was right behind them before entering Charms, but then she was gone and they later found her asleep in the common room studying. Which also showed that using it was taking a toll on her. --BachLynn23 13:43, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- I'd have to agree with Starstuff, I'm going to take a leap and say that maybe they dont age while there are two of them (while one was under time-turner use). I once had this huge debate with some nerd friends and they all thought this was very plausible. I don't know how it would work, but this is magic. I'm going to put the part back in, with some edits; here's a copy for you;
- "It is unknown what the effect of excessive time-turner use might produce. The user might still age while within an hour produced by the time-turner, and if so, then for students such as Hermione, constant use might age her faster, adding day, or even a week or month onto her life. It is also unknown how this applies later on in life. If Hermione was perhaps a month older by using the time-turner her third year, then anatomy wise her seventeenth birthday might arrive a month earlier than her birthdate might indicate, and perhaps the Trace might also have been lifted earlier as well. A theory speculated by fans is that maybe while there are two users (meaning while one user is there by a time-turner) that they will not age. To illistrate this; Hermione goes to Charms class and since everything is natural, she is aging. Once that class finishes, she uses the time-turner to retreat an hour so she can also attend her Potions class, she is under the effects of the time-turner, and does not age. Once the Charms Hermione disappears because of the time-turner, the Potions Hermione starts to age again."
- Please shoot this down if you don't like, but I believe it's a very important part of the article, and cant be left out. 220.127.116.11 21:26, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Were all the Time-Turners destroyed at the Department of Mysteries?--Jj7362 16:11, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
- In book 6, when they are talking to Hagrid about why they couldn't continue Care of Magical creatures, when Hagrid mentions time-turners, Hermione says, "We couldn't have done. We smashed the entire stock of Ministry Time-Turners when we were there last summer. It was in the Daily Prophet." --BachLynn23 13:43, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
What Happens?
I have got a question. What exactly happened to the Time-Turner? I only saw it in the 3rd movie and after that Hermione just wears it. Was it destroyed or handed down through generations. Thanks SlytherinBabe 01:59, July 7, 2010 (UTC)SlytherinBabe ;>
- At the end of her third year, she returned the Time-Turner and dropped Muggle Studies. That way she could have a normal schedule, as taking all of those classes was putting a terrible strain on her. Also, please stop leaving messages in boldface and italics. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 02:06, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, in the books, the Time-Turner is returned to the Time Room in the Department of Mysteries, and is destroyed there during the battle at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. —Josiah Rowe 00:23, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
I don't understand this: "Although the Time Turner could allow the user of it change other people's futures (eg.Death), it is impossible for the person in the future time where the user has came from to have already died in his own time." What does this mean? --126.96.36.199 02:49, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Yea, I don't get it either, and my head hurts now trying to figure it out, lol! If no one can make sense of this, it needs to either be reworded or taken out entirely. I want to say that it is supposed to mean that if person "A" travels from their time into the future, they can't have already died.....? That's sort of obvious though, if that's what it was supposed to mean, because obviously if you are dead you can't travel into the future. --BachLynn23 13:48, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Considering that the Time Turner seems to send the user in one time period to different time periods, I think it means that the event the "user A of the time turner from time T" changes in time "U" (after time T) will be futile if "A in time U" is considered dead at that period. For example, if the user A from the year 2016 tries to change person B's fate in 2030, A will succeed. But if A dies at 2020 and thus is considered dead in 2030, although A from 2016 is alive, A can't change B's fate. (Sorry for the bad explanation: I did my best, but...(sigh)) Gryffinwiththequill (talk) 16:51, February 5, 2016 (UTC)
Past vs. Future
The Time Turner follows the Self-Consistancy Principle so how have there been witches and wizards killing their past selves? I mean, watch the rescue of Buckbeak and Sirius. In Hagrid's Hut, a vase split in half, Hermione found an ammonite fossil and Harry felt something hit the back of his head. That was Hermione throwing ammonite fossils to alert them that the excution party is coming. Lupin heard a werewolf howl. That was Hermione calling Lupin to save Harry's life. And when Harry saved himself and Sirius from the Dementors, before someone who looked like James Potter cast a Patronus but it couldn't have been James because James is dead and Harry looks a lot like his father. So how would someone kill himself? If you had a fight with yourself, the fight will end up the same as before so you can't kill your past self. SeanWheeler 22:43, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- I wanna say that the concept goes something like that if you kill your future self, you cease to exist. There are a few theories in how time travel would actually work if it were possible. That said, even though Hermione knew that she was spending the year traveling back and forth through time for classes and study, when the fossils were thrown she no reason to think that her future self was outside throwing fossils, but later in the movie when her future self was out there, she only then understood who had thrown the fossils and why, she hesitated then just like Harry did at the Lake with the dementors, she was wondering why their past selves weren't leaving until she saw the fossils and put two and two together. Then when she hit past Harry in the head, future Harry sitting next to her suddenly felt the hit and his head hurt. --BachLynn23 23:24, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
Since Hermione was not with Ron and Harry after using a time turner, doesn't that mean that technically she didn't show up for class? Her homework would never be turned in, how did she do it? I mean since she and hairy used it later, shouldn't they have disappeared from hag rids hut? Shouldn't there be like a lot of Hermiones running around--Courage the Cowardly User 07:42, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Well I thought the same thing until I worked it out in my head. Say there is a person (A), they stay in a spot for one hour, and then go 100 feet away (lets pretend travel time doesn't exist). Then they use a time turner to go back an hour. Now we have two of the same person at the same time (lets call the time traveler person B), this is how Hermione was able to attend more than one class at a time. Now, when the hour is over, person A goes to that spot 100 feet away pulls out their time turner, spins the rings, and vanishes out of thin air. From this point on, person B is the only copy of that person in existence until the time turner is used again. Does that make sense? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).

How did they end up in the great hall?
when its used in the hospitel wing they end up in the great hall
the wiki says they end up where thier past self was but this is not true as they had enogh time to run and hide befor the past ones showed up.
further its mentiond on pottermore that somone went back in time befor thier birth and messed stuff up wich is why laws are so strict on time travil. they could not go back that far as half of them is in thier mom and half is in thier dad. 8bitgamer (talk) 20:33, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
- A) That's true. Perhaps it would be more correct to say they appear near where their past selves were.
- B) Eloise Mintumble used a different spell than the Hour-Reversal Charm used in Time-Turners, so she wasn't necessarily limited to the same concept of having to appear in the same place as her (non-existent) past self. Perhaps this is one reason why her past excursion was so disastrous, in fact (though that would just be speculation). -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 18:55, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Posts Taggedwindows explorer
Microsoft made some major changes to Windows Explorer with the release of Windows 8. They finally brought the once hated, but now popular, ribbon interface to the built-in Explorer app. The ribbon toolbar was almost universally panned when it debuted in Office 2007, but by the time Office 2010 rolled around customers had become familiar with it and actually began to at least accept it if not flat out like it.
That is a good thing because the interface isn't going anywhere — we already know it is included in Office 2013 and Microsoft has also added it to the Windows 8 Explorer app as well.
However, one thing that the Redmond, Washington-based company failed to add was a tab feature. Ironically that seems to be almost universally considered the number one most requested feature by Windows users, thanks to familiarity with web browser interfaces.
How often do you come across an idea that seems pretty unnecessary, but quickly becomes such a habit that you can't imagine having ever lived without it? Remember how we used to communicate before cell phones, for example?
Along those same lines is Listary, an awesome little app that will supercharge your Windows file management operations to the point where you will wonder how you ever survived without it!
There is absolutely no dearth of Windows Explorer enhancement or replacement apps out there. You may not really think you need one until you actually use one and see the boost in productivity. To help you with that then, I'm going to take an in-depth look at some of the best apps in the space. They all have their ups and downs in addition to their unique feature sets, so you should be able to find something that fits your needs pretty easily. Besides, most of the apps I'm going to cover are either free or have a free or evaluation version, so there's no excuse not to try what you like.
Let me start with start off then, with my personal favorite and the app I've stuck with for a good part of the last couple year – FreeCommander.

Up until now, a lot of people within the digital marketing industry believed that user engagement and content marketing metrics were a ranking signal. Google just blew this out of the water with the announcement that, in fact, they're not.
During a recent Hangout, Webmaster Trends Analyst John Mueller said, "I don't think we even see what people are doing on your web site" and "So from my point of view, that is not something I'd really treat as a ranking factor." This vague and sweeping statement has left a lot of people confused, as they were firm believers that user engagements were an influential signal. Others, like myself, were left fulfilled in the sense that Google has finally answered this long-standing myth.
Does this mean that webmasters should focus on pure content creation and link acquisition? No. Nothing changes. Continue to create a holistic digital strategy that encapsulates engaging content creation that answers people's most-asked questions and educates users where necessary. Digital PR campaigns and blogger engagement campaigns should continue, as link acquisition is still a huge ranking signal.
Where this becomes blurred is Google's recent patent acquisitions in July and August 2015. The first grants Google the right to rank websites, in part, based on user feedback to how they interact with the search results. For example, if mobile search results are given to a user and they provide local listings specific to where the user is at the time of the search, these are more likely to be well-received compared to generic results. If this is a common trend, Google can then carry this out across a wider number of SERPs.
Google is also given the right to present "linked-to" pages of authors it sees as providing good content. If an author has written authoritative and well-ranking content about a subject, other related properties of that author can begin to appear in that SERP.
However, in a SEO by the Sea post on the patent, Bill Slawski points out that recent statements from Google's Gary Illyes somewhat dismiss this.
The main conclusion from this patent announcement was that click-through-rate data could be used to manipulate search rankings. A lot of noise has been made recently around CTR studies showing that if you clicked on a search result a few thousand times in a number of hours, that search result will increase in positioning. Contrary to Gary's thoughts on this, I believe that it's all around personalization.
In the post above, there's a great example about user's personalization around the search query Apple. How does Google know on your first search for this term, whether you're searching for the fruit or the multi-billion dollar company? Once you've clicked on one and repeated this trend, personalization is built up and Google will begin to use that data to display different results to others from then on.
According to the patent, 500 queries and clicks is how many it takes to be taken into account.
Last week, Google was granted a patent allowing it to begin looking into video content's "watch times." This makes perfect sense, as videos with very little viewership should not be ranking highly in search results, unless it's a breaking news topic.
Interestingly, this watch time extends onto articles that contain embedded YouTube videos or audio also. This is an interesting development, as this can extend across to any type of content through average time on site and other user engagement metrics.
Our own tool, Roadmap, tracks thousands of different ranking signals across a variety of highly-competitive niches to determine which ranking signals are becoming more and less important for those that are ranking in the top 15 positions. The image below is a screenshot from Roadmap and I've selected user metrics to identify their trend for high rankings websites.
It's inconclusive.
The image below shows another image from Roadmap, which highlights the trending metrics that high-ranking websites in these niches have in common. All but one mentions backlinks. Because Google has announced that these are not a ranking signal, the dangerous thing to do would be to completely ignore them and focus entirely on link acquisition.
User metrics are usually defined as:
- The number of visits a page receives
- The number of different users that enter that page
- The number of pages users view, once they're on your website
- The average number of different pages a user visits
- The average time a user is on your website
- The bounce rate of people entering your website, not finding what they want and leaving instantly
- The percentage of growth in new people finding your content
I don't believe sales and goal completions can be taken into account, as this data is much more sensitive and should not be used to rank one website over another.
Why has user engagement been on the tip of everyone's tongue recently? I believe that as Google has gotten better at understanding the difference between a site that deserves to rank and one that doesn't, the better user-orientated websites are ranking in the competitive positions. As a result, the websites that deliver a good user experience and have good user engagement metrics tend to rank in those top 15 positions. It's a correlation between Google getting better, ranking the right websites in the right positions, and those websites delivering a better experience.
User engagement metrics are not a solid ranking signal, but you shouldn't rule them out. They signal to Google that your website is serving the answers or solution to what your users are searching for, making them an invaluable metric, moreso than a link. The introduction of two user-centric patents in the last eight weeks shows the huge focus that Google is placing on this at the moment, and it makes complete sense that this is the new direction.
If you're ranking competitively for terms and have great user engagement metrics, but still aren't in the top 3, hold tight. If your competitors begin to deliver bad experiences and see surges in bounce rates or reduction in average time on site, Google may look elsewhere to test another site in those highly-important positions.

So Ed Miliband has confirmed that he does want a return to socialism.
He intends on bringing in price controls for energy bills, to freeze prices for the first 20 months of a Labour re-election.
This is not very clever, except in terms of populist politics in which case it is very clever. Let me explain both parts.
Overall consumers are very unlikely to notice any difference to their total energy bills from now to 2020 whatever government is in charge and whatever policy they may or may not threaten/implement. If this policy of price controls is implemented (or it looks guaranteed that Labour will win in 2015) then energy companies will simply raise prices by 20% instead of the usual 10% prior to the winter of 2014.
Of course this is very clever as all of a sudden, 6 months before the election Labour will be able to spin about how much energy prices have risen under the Tories and how they are going to put a stop to this. Except hopefully the public are not dumb enough to fall for Labour deceit once again.
By the way gas bills more than doubled the last time Labour were in charge.
May I also take the time to point out the chronic lack of investment in power generation in the UK between 1997 and 2010, and the agreement to costly carbon-reducing EU targets. This and the fact that we are a significant gas importer are why bills have consistently gone up.
There are ways to reduce your energy bills both in the short-term and medium term.
In the short-term, simply use less energy.
In the medium term, if we want energy prices to fall, then we need sources of cheap energy. Coal is cheap yet we have/are shutting all our coal plants to meet emissions targets. Fracking has seen consumer gas prices plummet in America.
But if you really want socialism, as this is what Red Ed is promising, along with alluding to land grabs from companies refusing to build houses whilst land prices are increasing (albeit Boris did allude to something similar in London) then take a good look at Venezuela and the Chavista revolution, and how such socialist policies in an oil-rich company have crippled the economy and had knock-on effect to the population.
What has happened to their energy supplies? And food supplies?
Don't fall for socialism. It doesn't work.
Oh one last thing. Who brought in the Climate Change legislation that gave us the EU policy to push up the price of energy?

Opal Card - Taking the Ferry in Sydney
I rarely take the ferry from Meadowbank Wharf. Generally, they are a little more costly compared to talking the train or bus.
However with recent track work, the idea seemed more appealing. Sometimes you get free WiFi on board the ferry as well, depending on your luck.
The Opal card has actually made it more cost effective to take the more costly transport types, if only you knew how to manage it... yes, you do need a strategy for it.
If you have more than 8 rides per week, the Opal card is then automatically entitled to Opal Rewards, which entitles the user to travel on any mode of transport for however far the distance.
The only condition is that regardless of the mode of travel the first eight rides were used on, each mode needs to be done separated by one hour. Also, Opal Cards are limited to a maximum of $15 usage a day, so if your travels amount to more than $15 for that day, you would have to wait for the next following day to complete the rest of the eight rides.
The earliest any user can reach their Travel Rewards is by Tuesday, or on average by Wednesday.
I have tried this myself, and ya, the lowest anyone could pay for eight rides is:
using the bus x aud2.10.
Ferry from Meadowbank Wharf.
This is just an excuse to put up my gorgeous picture :-))))

Terrific ease of use. Highly customizable invitations. Tons of themes. Mobile QuickVite invitations and mobile RSVPs. Guests can suggest dates and sign up for potluck items and carpools.
A bit heavy on ads and commercial tie-ins.
Bottom Line
Though it's getting some stiff competition from the newer invitation sites MyPunchbowl and Windows Live Events, Evite remains the most mature and full-featured way to get guests to show up at your doorstep. It offers the most invitation templates and party-planning tools, and its new QuickVite feature extends it to mobile devices.
The Party's Not Over
Evite still dominates the online invitations game, though MyPunchbowl is nipping at its heels with a somewhat more modern interface, a VIP designation for required attendees, and a choice between save-the-date and full invitations. Windows Live Events benefits from integration with other Windows Live services, including Hotmail, Soapbox videos, and Spaces personal pages. And both throw less advertising at you than Evite does. But Evite still remains the most full-featured and mature of the group, offering far more invitation themes and party-planning tools. That, coupled with its interesting mobile capabilitiesincluding the newly launched QuickViteearns it our Editors' Choice for invitation sites, by a nose.

Propane: A New Alternative Fuel for Vehicles?
- Jan 17, 2013 5:22 am GMT
- 683 views
When you hear about alternative fuels for gasoline, what comes to mind? Most likely, you're thinking about liquefied natural gas. While that is the most popular substitute, it is not the only one breaking ground. This may come as a surprise, but propane could be the next big fuel for vehicles.
Technically, using propane as fuel is not exactly new. Managing Director of Propane Fuel Technologies Bret Chandler claims that "liquid propane is the third most-used auto fuel in the world." He states, "Ten years ago, there were 700 liquid propane fueling stations in Germany, now there are 5,000." Even though Europe has had a slight head start, the United States is following closely behind.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has already been introduced in certain areas, such as warehouses, construction sites, and farms. Additionally, the Propane Education and Research Council claims there are over 270,000 on-road propane vehicles already in the United States. These vehicles are mostly used as police cars, shuttles, and school buses.
California residents are among the first citizens to have access to this new source of fuel. As stated on the California Energy Commission website-
Approximately 1,200 facilities in California dispense propane. Nearly all of these facilities are used primarily to fuel residential and commercial applications such as heaters, recreational vehicles and barbecues. About half of all these facilities are capable of providing propane as a motor fuel, though only about 3 percent of all the fuel dispensed is used for transportation applications.
Chandler, who has also been working with CleanFUEL, has the goal of bringing this propane technology to his home state of West Virginia. His biggest hurdle: infrastructure. Unfortunately, there are only a small number of fueling stations in the area.
To aid the process, CleanFUEL has recently been given a $12 million federal grant from the Department of Energy, which they plan to use for building 168 propane-fueling stations in 16 cities across the country.
Commonly referred to as "autogas" outside the United States, liquid propane may not be as efficient as gasoline (about 7 to 10 percent less efficient), but the low cost will certainly make up for that. In Dallas, TX, where propane is rather common, customers are paying around $1.50 per gallon.
The cost to build the necessary infrastructure is rather inexpensive as well. A natural gas fueling station could cost up to $1.5 million to build, but for a propane station, that tab will drop to less than $100,000. As an added benefit, propane fueling stations require less expensive equipment and only occupy one tenth of the space required by natural gas stations.
So, should you expect to see herds of propane vehicles on the road and dozens of fueling stations popping up around town this year? Probably not. With a price tag of $10,000, converting your car to run on propane may not be the best decision. Yet.
