Jet's Partnership With LatchHayley Smith
Over the summer, Jet rolled out another campaign in New York City. Latch, a New York based lock company, was Jet's partner for the campaign. Latch is creating modern products that are revolutionizing the way that residents access their property.
The campaign consisted of giving 1,000 of Jet's customers in New York City a new Latch product, paid for by Jet and Latch. The model that was used is the Latch R, which is considered a "smart access system" where you don't need a traditional key to get in. Users can let guests in with their mobile devices after seeing them through the camera feature on the product.
Imagine living in a New York City apartment. Delivery for products that you have ordered can be tough without a system like a front office or someone to open the door. Participants in the campaign were able to get packages delivered safely and reliably without walking down from their room or sometimes even being home. For a company like Jet that is making a push for improving deliveries on everything from household goods to groceries, this is big news.
Jet is making it clear that they are working to get a leg up on their competitor Amazon by increasing access in metropolitan areas. This campaign was just the beginning of what looks like a strong partnership to help Jet advance its delivery system, especially with groceries.
Another urban campaign? This past May, Jet partnered with Story, a New York City high-end fashion store, to create a temporary grocery store using Jet's food services. The grocery store partnership with Story, Wal-Mart's announcement of their focus on advancements in delivery systems, and Jet's campaign with Latch are all linked together. Jet's continued focus on instant access for customers in cities is setting them apart from their competition. The possibilities are wide open, and Jet is showing no signs of stopping its advancements

Rocks and getting old
Western Australia is a beautiful part of this world, and those who can see it are definitely the better for it.
I have been quite reflective of it all lately, and as my 36th birthday swiftly approaches, I feel quite ancient, but not quite as ancient as these rocks :)
It's great to get out there and put yourself and your life into perspective with it all.
This universe spins round and round and we as humans are only a split second in the history of it all.
I can say today, its great to be human, and alive and all a part of it all.
Peace !

awesome, in many ways it reminds of africa. i'm glad you were able to experiance it, sounds completely amazing. i'm pretty sure age is truly an enigma in a way, i'm exactly 20 years older than you (when you turn 36) and i don't feel ancient (most times!). happy almost birthday sweetie!ReplyDelete
It looks enchanted. A mix of so many places in my mind - the rocks a little like Utah. Tell me about the big trees.ReplyDelete

Itasca, IL - Jul 10, 2017 - Flexera CEO, Jim Ryan, will be a featured speaker at Microsoft Inspire, Microsoft's annual partner event. Ryan will discuss the dysfunctional software supply chain, and how Flexera is restoring trust and transparency by reimagining how software is bought, sold, managed and secured.
"The software supply chain is fundamentally dysfunctional. Software buyers simply have no easy way to understand how much software they need, how much they're using, whether they're in compliance with their contracts, and how much they owe their vendors. This creates tremendous risk and waste that wouldn't be acceptable in any other industry," said Ryan. "But in the software industry, it's commonplace. Dysfunction generates distrust and animosity between companies and their software vendors. It's not healthy, and it doesn't have to be that way."
Ryan is co-presenting at a session called "SAM Done Right is a Strategic Advantage," being held on Wednesday, July 12 at 1:00 p.m. in Room 204BC/WEWCC, Level 200, at the Washington Convention Center in Washington DC. He will discuss the software supply chain's current dysfunctional state, and steps Flexera is taking to restore trust and transparency.
Ryan's presentation will offer a more strategic vision of SAM, and how Flexera uniquely works with both the software suppliers and software buyers to bridge the gulf that often divides them. "By providing a universal 'meter' that makes it easy for both software vendors and their customers to see what's been purchased, what's been used and what is owed, we can help them move beyond divisive topics like software compliance, software audits and true-ups," said Ryan. "Our vision is to provide trust and transparency needed in the supply chain so they can instead focus their relationship on value – like 'How can we leverage our SAM efforts to protect our company from software vulnerability security risks.'"
Flexera is reimagining the way software is bought, sold, managed and secured. We view the software industry as a supply chain, and make the business of buying and selling software and technology asset data more profitable, secure, and effective. Our Monetization and Security solutions help software sellers transform their business models, grow recurring revenues and minimize open source risk. Our Vulnerability and Software Asset Management (SAM) solutions strip waste and unpredictability out of procuring software, helping companies buy only the software and cloud services they need, manage what they have, and reduce compliance and security risk. The Flexera RightScale multicloud management and cloud cost optimization solutions enable enterprises to drive top-line revenue while optimizing cloud usage to reduce risk and costs. Powering these solutions and the entire software supply chain, Flexera has built the world's largest and most comprehensive repository of market intelligence on technology assets. In business for 30+ years, our 1300+ employees are passionate about helping our 80,000+ customers generate millions in ROI every year. Visit us at www.flexera.com.

San Francisco imprisons African Americans for drug offenses at a much higher rate than whites, according to a report to be released today by a nonprofit research institute.
In a study of nearly 200 counties nationwide, the Justice Policy Institute found that 97 percent of large-population counties have racial disparities between the number of black people and white people sent to prison on drug convictions.
The institute, which is based in Washington, D.C., and researches public policy and promotes alternatives to incarceration, says whites and African Americans use illicit drugs at similar rates. But black people account for more than 50 percent of sentenced drug offenders, though they make up only 13 percent of the nation's population.
San Francisco locks up a higher percentage of members of the African American community in drug cases than any other county in the study. In the county, 123 people out of every 100,000 are sent to state prison each year for drug offenses. Of those, whites are incarcerated at a rate of 35 per 100,000 white people, while blacks are incarcerated at a rate of 1,013 per 100,000 black people.
"It is not that San Francisco is sending a lot of people to prison for drug offenses, it is that the people they are sending are black," said Jason Ziedenberg, executive director of the institute. "An average citizen who uses drugs in San Francisco has a pretty low chance of going to prison, but if you are African American, the chances are fairly high."
That's not good. Details here from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Perhaps, you've just found an essay rather a daunting task. Whether the essay is for a class, a scholarship or even for a contest, a great number of learners consider this writing assignment to be extremely stressful and difficult.

Our authors are good at creating custom essay papers from scratch specially customized to their clients' requirements. You can order a coursework, an essay online or college papers.
When it comes to finding a perfect custom essay service online, there're a lot of websites similar to our online service. Nevertheless, we ascertain we have an indisputable advantage over them. We consider our authors to be our major treasure. They enable us to be on a par with rivals and even leave them behind.
Custom essays completed by our authors are:
Perhaps, you might have your essay topic assigned or you might be given an opportunity to work on the theme of your choice. If you've been assigned a certain topic, you should consider the type of paper you're eager to produce. Perhaps, it's going to be rather a general overview of the topic or you'd like to conduct a specific analysis. Additionally, you're free to narrow your focus if required.
However, if you haven't been given a particular theme, get ready to work harder. However, it can give you a real advantage if you decide to work with a subject of your interest.
Having determined the purpose, do some research on the theme you've just found intriguing and worthy.
Finally, you should have your options estimated. If your primary goal is to educate, select a subject, which you've already mastered. If your goal is to convince the audience, then you should stick to a subject you're really passionate about. Regardless of the mission of your essay writing, you need to ensure you really adore the subject.
You can hardly become an ace of essay writing without an ability to organize your exclusive thoughts. Just take what's already in your mind and put this stuff to a sheet of paper. You'll spot connections as well as links between ideas. The given structure will act as a solid foundation for your essay. Utilize either an outline or a diagram for jotting down your ideas and organizing them.
To create a diagram, write your theme in the middle of your page. Then, you should draw 3-5 lines branching off from this theme and write down your key ideas at the ends of the lines. After this, draw more lines off the key ideas and add any thoughts you might have on these ideas.
If you prefer creating an outline, place your topic at the top of the page. Exactly from there, ist your major ideas. You should leave space under each one. Here, list other smaller ideas, which relate to every key idea. Thus, you'll spot connections, enabling you to write a more organized paper.
Well, you've just picked up a topic and sorted your ideas into corresponding categories. Now it's time to generate a thesis statement. Evidently, it should tell the audience the point of your paper. Look at your newly-created diagram or outline. What are the major ideas?
It should come with two parts. The first part is expected to state the topic, and the second once should state the point of the paper. For example, if you were highlighting Bill Clinton as well as his impact on America, then a good thesis statement would be, "Bill Clinton has influenced the future of the United States via his two consecutive presidential terms."
The body of your paper explains, argues or depicts your topic. Every major idea you mentioned in your outline or diagram will become a separate section of your paper's body.
Any of your body paragraphs should come with the same basic structure. First, write one of your key ideas as the introductory sentence. Secondly, write each of your backing ideas in sentence format, leaving 3-4 lines in between every point in order to get back and provide detailed examples to back your position. You should fill in these spaces with relative information, which will help you to link smaller ideas together.
Having created your thesis as well as the overall body, you're bound to generate an introduction. The given section should draw the audience's attention and stress the focus of the essay.
An attention grabber should start. Obviously, you can make use of shocking information, a story, a quote, dialogue or a simple summary of your theme. Regardless of the angle, ensure it ties in with your thesis statement that should be included as the final sentence of the introduction.
it traditionally brings closure of the theme and also sums up your overall ideas, simultaneously providing a final perspective on your theme. Your conclusion should come with 3-5 strong sentences. Review your crucial points and ensure reinforcement of your thesis.
Having written the conclusion, you might think that you've finally completed your paper. It's wrong, as a slew of small details shouldn't be neglected. However, you're currently getting closer to the final point of your essay writing.
Your paragraphs' order needs to be checked. Your strongest points should be naturally the first. The last paragraphs should be within the body, while the others should fall in the middle. Besides this, ensure your paragraph order really makes sense. If your paper is illustrating a particular process, such as how to cook a tasty chocolate cake, ensure that your paragraphs fall in the right order.
Attentively review the instructions for your paper, if applicable. The matter is that many tutors as well as scholarship forms follow different formats, so you require double checking instructions just to ensure that your paper is in the desired format.
You should review what you've just written. You need to reread your essay to ensure it really makes sense. Ensure that sentence flow happens to be smooth enough and add phrases to better connect ideas. Finally, check your paper for spelling and grammar errors. Now we can congratulate you with a successfully written essay!

We have influence in our life and the life of others. With or without putting our will into it.
We are exposed to an average of 5000 ads every day. Those ads are influencing us in our choices. If you could choose the ones you want instead of the ones they want, maybe you could change the way you make your choices.
There's 3 main level of influence you can generate:
- Thought: You generate an enormous amount of thought in a day. Some of them are oriented and others are less oriented. Your mind will use the highway instead of building new ones. What it means, the thought that you have been using on and on will come back easily. To change those, you have to put some will into it. You can build new connection in your brain and choose to let go of old thought for new ones. Your thought are influencing your life and the life of others.
- Speak: When you speak you give more energy to the thought you send in the air. When you will yourself to change your thought, you will also find out that it will change what you say.
- Action: Actions are the top level of influence. Actions are like throwing a rock in a puddle of water. You don't have any control on the influence it will have all around. Things will happen in relation with your action without you knowing about it.

Potatoes have played a major role in the course of Irish history. In the 1840s, when a blight wiped out the crop and resulted in a severe famine, more than 1 million Irish emigrated to other countries--many to the United States.
Traditional customs, such as celebrating St. Patrick's Day, traveled with these people, and it wasn't long before friends and neighbors joined in the festivities. Today it seems everyone, whether Irish or not, participates in the annual greening of America each March 17.
Corned beef and cabbage is a typical entree served on this holiday. Accompany it with a loaf of Potato Bread, prepared with quick-rise yeast. The dough needs to rise just once, then is baked for about 25 minutes.
3 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup mashed potato, at room temperature
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 package quick-rise yeast
3/4 cup milk

How They Work
How they work diagnosing problems porting and polishing rebuilding nosedrives Swaps and upgrades Adding a boost gauge
replacing needle bearings adding a nosedrive drain supercharger oil change pulley size suggestions links, references, and sources
Eaton Superchargers are positive displacement blowers. What this means is that they have a pair of overlapping/interlocking rotors that spin opposite each other (one clockwise, the other counter-clockwise) and are driven by the pulley from one of the engine belts. On the Series 1 L67 engine, the belt that drives the Supercharger also drives the water pump and AC compressor. On the Series 2 L67, the belt that drives the Supercharger only drives the AC compressor in addition. For this reason, a Series 2 L67 can 'limp' without the SC belt, but the Series 1 L67 will overheat quickly without the belt driving the water pump. The rotors spin inside the case compressing the air coming in from the inlet (throttle body) and deliver the compressed air in the form of boost (indicated on the gauge) to the lower intake manifold where it waits until an intake valve opens.
The DRIVE sequence of a setup like this is described rather simply: Belt drives pulley. Pulley spins input (nosedrive) shaft. Behind the pulley is a seal to prevent Supercharger oil from escaping. Nosedrive shaft spins in two bearings lubricated by this oil. At the end of this shaft are 3 pins that lock into a flexible coupler (this coupler prevents gear damage by absorbing the shock load of a quick jump on the throttle, so the force flexes the coupler rather than break gear teeth). This coupler joins the input shaft to one of the rotor shafts via 3 identical pins. So when the input shaft spins, one rotor spins. Each rotor has an identical gear on it with a 1:1 ratio. So the two rotors spin in a counter-rotating fashion. One clockwise, the other counter-clockwise. The rotors shafts are sealed between the gear housing and compressor chamber for two reasons. One reason is to prevent manifold pressure (boost) from pressurizing the oil chamber (causing leaks) and the other is to prevent the oil from leaking into the compressor housing. Each rotor shaft is retained by a bearing on each end of the shaft.
The CONTROL sequence is described rather simply as well: When boost is not needed (idle or light-load driving conditions), the air is actually bypassed inside the supercharger before the rotors. The air comes out the bottom of the supercharger into the lower intake manifold through a bypass valve designed much like a throttle plate. Spring force from the actuator (Boost Control Actuator, BCA) and vacuum coming from the Boost Control Solenoid hold the valve closed to create boost in it's default state. In order to BYPASS boost when not needed (idle or light-load driving conditions), vacuum from the BCS must be turned off by the PCM to allow the vacuum at the top of the BCA to overcome it's own internal spring force. In simpler terms, with the car off, spring force inside the BCA holds the bypass closed. When the car is idling, the BCS turns off, allowing the vacuum ported to the top of the BCA to overcome the spring force and open the bypass. So the vacuum port at the top of the BCS always has vacuum on it if the car is running, but the vacuum going to the bottom of the BCA only has vacuum when boost is desired (helping the spring in the BCA to hold the bypass closed). The control vacuum is switched on or off by the Boost Control Solenoid (BCS) via the PCM. Various other inputs are required. For instance, after a spirited wide-open-throttle (WOT) run, when you let off the throttle, the PCM sees the throttle position sensor (TPS) change state, and realizes that you let off the accelerator. In this situation, the PCM commands the BCS to dump boost, and allows vacuum to overcome the spring force in the BCA in order to OPEN the bypass valve and dump the incoming air from the throttle body directly into the lower intake manifold (LIM) before the rotors in the supercharger have a chance to compress it.
Boost Control Actuator (BCA) circled in yellow, and Boost Control Solenoid (circled in light blue). These are shown in their state of 'rest' (engine not running, no vacuum to control/actuate), which is also their state of full boost or bypass CLOSED. At the bottom left end of the BCA (end of the actuator rod), you can see the bypass valve shaft. The BCA pulls this upward, opening the bypass when it is commanded to (in park or neutral, or other conditions dictated by the PCM).
M62 Bypass Valve on the under side of the supercharger. M90 is similar. This is the closed position, allowing full boost. It rotates when pulled by the BCA, and turns 90 degrees to the open position, just like the throttle plate in your throttle body.

Team UB Signs Prahlad Friedman
written by: James under News Comments: Comments Off
Ever since Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth left Team UB in the final days of 2010, the online poker world has been abuzz with rumors of who Team UB will sign next to fill in the gaps. Joe Sebok promised a "doozy," and that's exactly what UB has received. Prahlad Friedman is officially the newest addition to the Team UB roster. Friedman was heavily rumored to be joining, and the announcement comes as no surprise to the forum junkies who have been speculating about the signing.
Those more familiar with Friedman's history, especially how his history relates to UB, are somewhat more surprised by the announcement. Friedman was previously uninterested in a professional sponsorship, and he was one of the many cash game players victimized by the UB cheating scandal that allowed super users to view the hole cards of their opponents.
Now it seems that Friedman has gotten over his sponsorship hesitations and fully made amends with UB. He's very excited about the site's new direction, and described the current Team UB pro roster as "young, hip [and] cool." Friedman went on to say that he specifically enjoys the fact that all of the UB players have interests outside of professional poker, and that he respects their skill.
Friedman is widely known by the names Mahatma and Spirit Rock in online poker circles, and his live tournament history is quite illustrious as well. Friedman has earned over $2.3 million through live poker tournaments thus far, in addition to a WPT title and a WSOP bracelet.
Representatives from UB are just as excited as Friedman, and stated that this signing reflects their new aim to develop a younger, louder and more vital team roster. Friedman, who made a humorous rap spoof video for ESPN in 2006, fits the bill perfectly.
Joe Sebok, a veteran of Team UB, expressed his excitement over Friedman's new signing and described it as "epic." He views Friedman as one of the best cash game players in the world, and said that the signing will be representative of UB's strength in 2010.

Calais migrants: Secure zone to be built for UK lorries
A new secure zone will be created at Calais for UK-bound lorries in response to an unprecedented surge in migrants attempting to cross the Channel, Theresa May has announced.
The area, which will be able to hold more than 200 vehicles, will "transform security" for haulage vehicles by taking them off the open road at the French port where they have been targeted by thousands of people trying to reach Britain illegally, the Home Secretary said.
Announcing the measure in the Commons, she disclosed that more than 8,000 attempts by illegal migrants to travel to Britain had been intercepted in just three weeks between June 21 and July 11.
Home Secretary Theresa May said more than 8,000 attempts by illegal migrants to travel to Britain had been intercepted in just three weeks
Transport bosses later questioned how much impact the move will have on the "out of control" emergency and claimed the Government had "let down" British hauliers.
As Mrs May announced the zone, a welter of new figures laid bare the scale of the problem facing authorities on both sides of the Channel. It was revealed that:
:: The number of migrants in Calais is now estimated to have reached 5,000 - up from around 600 in January.
:: In five weeks more than 400 immigrants were found by British police hiding in vehicles or trains - 15 times the number recorded in the first five months of the year.
:: Last week almost 100 individuals were found by officers in a single day.
:: The the annual cost of products being written off because of contamination fears when migrants hide on vehicles could reach £1 billion.
Lorry drivers endured days of misery in miles of queues in southern England following strike action in France by ferry workers.
Mrs May said hauliers who "work tirelessly" to keep the UK economy moving are also being subjected to "repeated attempts by illegal migrants who try to stow themselves away in their vehicles".
She went on: "It is imperative they are allowed to continue their business unimpeded."
Mrs May said the new zone, which will cost around two million euros (£1.4 million) and is expected to be complete in the autumn, will provide a secure waiting area for 230 vehicles - the equivalent of removing a two-and-a-half mile queue from the approaching road.
"This should transform protection for lorries and their drivers, removing them from the open road where they can become targets for migrants attempting to board their vehicles," she said.
Later Kent Police Chief Constable Alan Pughsley told the Commons Home Affairs Committee that in the five weeks from the start of June a total of 405 immigrants were found hiding in vehicles or trains - compared with just 26 such discoveries from January to May.
On July 8 alone some 96 individuals were found, he said.
Asked if he would describe the situation as a crisis, Mr Pughsley said: "I think unless something significant is done to stop the amount of people trying to come into the country there will be a stage where the resilience of my officers dealing with it will be a significant problem."
He described the industrial action in France as a "contributing factor".
Appearing at the committee, John Keefe, director of public affairs at Eurotunnel, said: "It is the simple volume that is causing the most difficulty. We have never seen numbers like this before."
He added that migrants have been stopped and passed to authorities on between 27,000 and 28,000 occasions in the last six months. The number is made up of the same people repeatedly returning, sometimes several times in one night, he said.
He said: "It's the 5,000 population simply rotating around."
He raised doubts about the potential impact of the secure zone, saying: "As soon as you remove one opportunity, the organised criminals managing the migrant attacks are moving to the next weak spot."
James Hookham, chief executive of the Freight Transport Association, highlighted the issue of loads having to be written off because of contamination fears when migrants hide on vehicles.
He said: "Although the cost to the vehicle is high, the consequential cost of the loss of the load is orders of magnitude greater."
Richard Burnett, chief executive of the Road Haulage Association, added that the annual cost of products being written off because of the crisis could be as high as £1 billion. "Full loads are being destroyed," he said.
Mr Burnett said the situation at Calais was now "out of control" and criticised the wait for the new zone.
"This isn't fast enough," he said. "We've got drivers being threatened with bars and knives. We've had an example of a driver being threatened with a gun.
"We've got a problem right now. This is unprecedented and it's escalating. We need action now."
Asked if he believed his organisation's drivers have been let down by the Government, he replied: "Absolutely."
Immigration minister James Brokenshire told the panel that measures to beef up security around northern French ports, including new fencing, should be completed by the end of this month.

#FreeSpeech in the News: Oct. 31, 2016
As the Citadel of Free Speech here in Cleveland, we work to protect and promote the basis of our democracy by sharing related stories, commentary, and opinions on free speech in the 21st century. Here's what's making the news - and what you should know about - this week.
"'I will represent pro bono anyone #Trump sues for exercising their free speech rights. Many other lawyers have offered to join me,' Boutrous tweeted."
First-Amendment Lawyer Ted Boutrous: Trump's Threats Won't Squelch Free Speech, BloombergBusinessweek
"One topic that has been, ultimately, underreported on through the media in this election cycle is what will happen to freedom of speech and academic freedom on a college campus."
What The Outcome Of The Election Could Mean For Free Speech On Campuses, The Daily Caller
"It was just a very small step from this attempt at silencing critics to intervention in the content of academic research, lest it entail controversial subjects. This is a crude abuse by the government of the power of the purse."
Israel's Tourism Ministry Removes Ban on Academic Free Speech From Tender, Haaretz
"The prohibition on ballot selfies reaches and curtails the speech rights of all voters, not just those motivated to cast a particular vote for illegal reasons."
In Ballot Selfie Battle, Free Speech Bears Fear of Voter Fraud, The Huffington Post
"These sorts of attacks on academic freedom, on which Israel's defenders have played a disproportionate role, are all too common on campuses across the country, with devastating results. They have led to the intimidation of students, the silencing or firing of faculty and the cancellation of classes…"
Op-Ed: Keeping campuses safe for free speech, Los Angeles Times
"But just because hateful rhetoric is legal, doesn't mean it can be dangerous…"
When does free speech become hate speech?, MPR News
"The combination of loose definitions and dubious procedures is poisonous to the protection of free speech."
Free Speech and Sexual Harassment at Yale, Newsweek
"In Twitter's case, its core to their idea of free speech, and free speech is one of the founding principles that Twitter is built upon and this understanding that to truly connect the world, to truly be the pulse of the world, you have to give people the option to be able to be free of persecution."
The Twitter Paradox: How a Platform Designed For Free Speech Enables Internet Trolls, NPR
"'It used to be college was a place for open dialogue and open debate,' says Cliff Maloney Jr., Executive Director at Young Americans for Liberty (YAL). 'But now we find free speech zones, we find unconstitutional policies. And that's our goal with… our national fight for free speech campaign. How do we tackle them? How do we change them and reform them?'"
The Fight for Free Speech on College Campuses, reason.com
"The aftermath of the Trump campaign will leave us facing some very thorny questions as a nation, particularly in the areas of speech and media freedoms."
Free Speech Might Be Another Victim of This Election, Rolling Stone
"Our legislators seem to have forgotten to ensure equality of treatment when making the law, just as they blithely disregard the importance of free speech."
Parliament is eroding freedom of speech and equality under the law, The Telegraph
"In an interview with WFOR, CBS' Miami affiliate, Trump was asked if he believes the First Amendment provides 'too much protection.'
Trump answered in the affirmative, saying he'd like to change the laws to make it easier to sue media companies. Trump lamented that, under current law, 'our press is allowed to say whatever they want.'"
Trump explains why the First Amendment has 'too much protection' for free speech, ThinkProgress
"A controversial University of Toronto professor has railed against a piece of legislation designed to enshrine human rights protections for transgender Canadians, arguing it will criminalize this right to free speech. But he has it all wrong, says experts."
No, the Trans Rights Bill Doesn't Criminalize Free Speech, VICE
"I know there are strong views on the election this year both in the US and around the world. We see them play out on Facebook every day. Our community is stronger for its differences – not only in areas like race and gender, but also in areas like political ideology and religion.
That's ultimately what Facebook is all about: giving everyone the power to share our experiences, so we can understand each other a big better and connect us a little closer together."

So. I leave in 2 WEEKS!
I cannot believe how quickly time is going by. We've been warned that these next two weeks will become even more full and crazy as we prepare to go on outreach.
"Official Training" began today for me, with 4K Research Training.
Let me explain (hopefully) 4K:
4K divides the world into (4 thousand) omega zones. These zones are made using population, existing political divisions and availability of the Gospel. This information creates a "Map" so we can see the world and respond to its needs. So that we can see where we are and where we are not... and the most effective way to reach every people group.
So what will I be doing?
As 4K isn't able to travel all over the world collecting data, they train each Outreach Team to research and collect information on location. When we return all our information will be given over to 4K and put into their system.
I will be tracking all the Villages we go to, the Ministry we do there, and When. I'll also be collecting information about the Culture, Food, Clothing etc.so that future teams/ministries going into these zones can be even better prepared. There are also Zone Surveys that we will be answering, which will talk more about the peoples response, and help future teams plan the most effective way to minister in that particular zone.
For instance; If we've been doing a lot of evangelism in a zone and have had a good response, than future teams may look at starting a discipleship program to begin stewarding the people in their relationship with God.
I am so excited to be a part of gathering information and expanding 4K's database. Access to the 4K Interactive Map and more in-depth information is available on their website http://4kworldmap.com/ As well, if you are planning a trip or have recently returned from one, you may consider adding some of your own information to the site, through creating an account!

Anthologies and Writing Update
I also sold a short Christmas sweet romance story to Night Wolf Publications called My Christmas Luck in A Yuletide Wish anthology.
I use duotrope.com to find most of the anthologies. Duotrope is such a wonderful resource. You should check it out, if you haven't already.
I love writing short stories for anthologies. However, I'm going to stop writing them for the time being so I can clear my plate and gear up for Nano. November is almost here! I'm getting excited (while hubby is groaning, lol)
Do you write short stories? Have you ever tried to get into an anthology?

I've just started to get into short stories. I kind of like the break when I'm working on longer stuff. I've been curious about ways to get them published, so thanks for the timely info, Nicole.
Congratulations on your success as well!

Congrats with the recent acceptances.
I sometimes use Duotrope or friends who mention anthologies to find anthologies to submit to. I mainly look on ralan.com, since most of them are there in a nice little list.
I do enjoy writing short stories for anthologies, but it can sure be difficult to find a place for said stories if you don't get in.

- j.leigh.bailey said...
I actually started writing short stories as an exercise...I'm very wordy to begin with and in a short story every word counts, so I wanted to see if I could do it. I've had two short stories accepted for anthologies. 'Runaway' was released in Pill Hill's "Silver Moon, Bloody Bullets an Anthology of Werewolf Tales" and another, 'Midnight Watch' will be released in Pill Hill's 2011 Daily Flashes of Erotica this winter.
I sometimes get too caught up in the short stories though. I like the quicker turn around on starting, finishing, submitting them, so I tend to ignore my novel ideas. I've decided, however, with NaNo coming up, that I'll set aside the shorts and focus on the novel idea for a while.

I've written several short stories, but never tried getting them published. I've tried to write more than the few I've actually completed, but I usually end up making them longer...and longer...and longer until I'm writing a novel. :P I don't do well with short stories.

- Faith said...
Nicole, you are so prolific it makes me sick. Hahaha. Congratulations on the acceptance into the zombie anthology!
I use Duotrope for anthology postings, but I often find myself starting stories for them and giving up halfway through. Sometimes I thought the idea had inspired me, but it really didn't... yes, this is a personal hurdle I need to jump over. :)
There's an award for you over on my blog today! Do with it what you will.

I've published about 20 short stories over the last year or so, but have slowed down my submissions of late because I have 2 novels I've been querying and revising and querying and revising. Plus, two other writers and I have been writing linked novellas to go into an anthology of our own.
And with NaNo coming up, I'm trying to focus my attention on that idea for a while. But when I'm done, I'm sure there will be more shorts. I love writing short stories.

Wesley Gardens renews agreement with InfoPreserve.
Wesley Gardens renews agreement with InfoPreserve.
Wesley Gardens manages all their critical records in the InfoPreseve Cloud!
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – July 22nd, 2013 - InfoPreserve, Inc., a leading supplier of Intelligent Document Management Cloud solutions based in Rochester New York , recently announced the renewal of their agreement with one of Rochester's premier rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities, Wesley Gardens to utilize InfoPreserve's Active Cloud Archive™ capabilities. Initially, Wesley Gardens used InfoPreserve to secure, manage, and archive their legacy Health Information Management (HIM) records. Historically, searching and finding information that is archived is difficult and costly in terms of time and expense – especially when most of it is paper-based. By utilizing InfoPreserve's Active Cloud Archive™, the archived information is located in seconds using our forensic search.
"We are pleased to have one of Rochester's premier rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities as a client," said John Chapman, CEO of InfoPreserve. "Wesley Gardens is a perfect example of how our customers start by addressing their biggest need and then expand the solution in other areas of the business. With our platform, all information uploaded to the InfoPreserve Cloud automatically benefits from our Active Cloud Archive™ features which allow Wesley Gardens to instantly search and retrieve archived information." The system locates documents based on their content, not just their title. InfoPreserve's private Cloud web-based solution, allows anyone needing key documents to search from anywhere using laptops, smartphones, or tablets. We offer an extremely powerful and easy to use document management tool with outstanding security and control features all based in a Private cloud.
"Before InfoPreserve, a lot of valuable floor space was occupied by boxes and cabinets containing medical records," states Marsha Toombs, Records Manager for Wesley Gardens. "We have methodically scanned the most critical health information records into InfoPreserve, allowing us to shred these records and return the space to other useful purposes." Since the initial implementation, Wesley Gardens has expanded their use of InfoPreserve's platform to include financial and employee records such as W-2's for the organization. They will soon export health records to InfoPreserve from another legacy system that is currently being maintained just so the old records can be accessed. Wesley is also looking to use InfoPreserve to replace their antiquated tape backup system, instead archiving the information to InfoPreserve. InfoPreserve's Active Cloud Archive™ enables Wesley to secure, manage, and retrieve critical records from across their entire organization. InfoPreserve allows Wesley to economically secure, manage, and retrieve these records for as long as they are needed.
InfoPreserve is Searchable, Secure and Simple. More information, including information on a demo or free trial of InfoPreserve's solution, is available at www.infopreserve.com.

Picture taken on June 19, 2011 of the port of Villa La Angostura, in the Argentine province of Neuquen -- covered with volcanic ash from Chile's Puyehue volcano. Thousands of evacuated Chileans were allowed to return home Sunday two weeks after the eruption of the Puyehue volcano, which sent a huge ash cloud into the sky and disrupted air travel in the southern hemisphere. "The volcano's activity has been steadily decreasing, which allows us today to lift the evacuation order in the area and permit the 4,270 people who have been evacuated to return to their homes," said Laurence Golborne, Chile's minister for mining and energy. Photo courtesy AFP.
This upscale resort town in Argentina's Andes, popular with jet-setters for nearby skiing and jaw-dropping scenery, is distraught digging out of a thick blanket of volcanic ash and facing an uncertain future.
Chile's nearby Puyehue volcano, which June 4 burst into eruption after decades of silence, disrupting air traffic in South America, Australia and New Zealand.
It also turned the lush green local landscape -- where the heavy snow has yet to begin -- and its crystal blue lakes, 100 shades of gray.
"It is all gray where everything was green," said Ricardo Alonso, a doctor by training who is now mayor of the Villa La Angostura, a town of 14,000 now overrun by road trucks trying to shovel away tons of ash.
A stressed Alonso said the local situation remains "dramatic."
"We were the city that the volcanic eruption hit hardest," he told AFP, noting that it was buried in more than 30 centimeters (12 inches) of ash.
The quaint village done up in Andean-alpine style and set on the bank of sprawling Lake Nahuel Huapi, is feeling charm-impaired. Its usual postcard colorful perfection has been turned into a sad black-and-white film, dotted with fire trucks and emergency military tents.
"I have never seen anything like this. I have seen lots of heavy snowfall, sure, but this is unheard of. It is as if someone had dumped tons of mud on top of us," said Marta Cabezas, a retiree pointing out how the rain has turned the ask into muddy slush.
It is not yet known how serious the effects will be on lake fish, river fish and the local environment more broadly. If the effects turn out to be lasting it could rock the largely tourism based local economy.
Among its frequent visitors from abroad are the Dutch heir to the throne Willem-Alexander and his Argentine-born wife, Maxima.
For now, there are simply not enough snow plows to clear all the streets of ash and volcanic slush.
"We are in a battle -- the people against the ash, and it's not time for thinking so much as for fighting" to make some progress, the mayor said.
A dedicated crew of about 400 volunteers are rushing to try to do their part to get things closer to normal, sweeping off rooftops, sidewalks, the entrances of hospitals and handing out food and water to those in need.
"The pine trees are just pitiful. They look like they have been defeated -- with their branches giving under the heft of the mud -- and you have to watch out because they can snap and fall on you," said Cabezas.
In addition to potential fallout for tourism, authorities are keeping a close eye on the ash layer clotting up the Limay River. That is because it leads to the nearby Alicura hydroelectric plant. And authorities still don't know how it will affect the plant's turbines.
The mess could not have come at a worse time: just ahead of the winter high season.
Normally, at this time of year, the town's population doubles with visitors from Europe, North America and South America. And package tourists often are on swings with stops in Villa la Angostura and the Perito Moreno glacier.
The town itself already has seen about 5,000 of its locals depart indefinitely including senior citizens, pregnant women and people with respiratory difficulties.
"I think this season will be a total loss," said Maria de los Angeles Rola, 42, a worker at a cafeteria frequented by the Dutch royals.

The community-owned island of Gigha has 3 wind turbines, owned by the community, that provide significant income that is invested in bettering life for the 120 inhabitants of the island. At the moment, the money is being ploughed into improving the housing stock that was allowed to deteriorate when the island was in private ownership. That's a story that's been repeated elsewhere in Scotland on other islands and vast estates bought up by individuals to have as their private playground. The land ownership system in this country stinks and land reform is badly needed.
These three turbines are known as the Dancing Ladies and as soon as I saw them when we arrived on the island, I knew I wanted to make 3 images - One Lady Dancing; Two Ladies Dancing; Three Ladies Dancing. These are the results.
Any and all comments are welcome.

Female employees are entitled to fourteen weeks of maternity leave with full pay.

When the delivery occurs before the expected date, the period of rest is extended until the completion of the fourteen weeks to which the employee is entitled. When confinement occurs after the presumed date, the woman returns to work after eight weeks of delivery.
The Labour Law provides extension in maternity leave in the event of post-natal illness. Extension in maternity leave is not provided for multiple births.

IT IS self-evident on past experience that political parties conceal the truth from the electorate on controversial policies before they are elected to office.
It is my conviction that the Conservatives intend to implement the second phase/adjunct of the 'bedroom tax' after winning the General Election.
A small cabal of right wing Conservatives MPs, represented at all levels of government, intend to resurrect the 1932 Property Vote in some form ie property values at £2,000 or £1,500 in savings.
All the great liberal reformers such as Lord John Russell, Lord Grey and many more would be horrified to know their intentions.
Let us remember it is less than 100 years since women got the vote at 21 years old without a Property Qualification.
I would suggest that the peers peruse the excellent book Perilous Questions by the world-famous author, the lovely Antonia Fraser OBE.
When I think of this group of old Etonians in this infamous plot against the citizens of Britain and Northern Ireland I remember the stirring lines by Robert Burns: "An idiot race to honour lost, who know them best despite them most."
When Tony Blair tried to lock us up for three months without trial the Lords rejected the bill.
When this bill on the Property Vote is sent up I hope you will again protect our freedoms.

A dad of two from Norwich is aiming to crowdfund £70,000 to help fund treatments for his rare strain of pancreatic cancer.
Damion Burbank, 38, has Acinar cell carcinoma, which can be found in around 1% of those suffering with pancreatic cancer.
He moved back to Norwich with his wife Emily and daughters Arabella and Olive, who are five and three respectively, after after being initially diagnosed in 2016.
After a successful period of treatment Damion was given the green light in November 2016, however scans a year later showed the cancer had returned.
Damion's wife Emily, who created the fundraising page, said: "Damion is about to complete six more cycles of chemotherapy in the hope of getting the disease under control.
"However, this type of chemotherapy, cannot be sustained in the long-term as it severely weakens the immune system, can cause other serious health problems, and increases the risk different cancers appearing due to the toxicity of the treatment.
"After this cycle of treatment is complete, the only option for Damion if he stays with the NHS is palliative care involving chemotherapy and radiation treatment. This will not address the underlying issues and the prognosis for this approach is very poor."
The Burbanks are now looking at other treatment options, but they would be at clinics abroad which they cannot currently afford.
The money raised will, in the first instance, go towards genetic testing, which will then determine which of the treatments he could receive.
Emily added: "We are looking at a range of clinics that offer the latest cutting-edge treatments, which include immunotherapies, stem cell therapy, cryo-therapy, targeted chemotherapy, non-evasive radiation, regional and whole body hyperthermia, proton therapy and many others."
The family are organising a series of fundraising events in the coming months - in April Emily and some friends will be running the Norwich half marathon.
