While the coroner's report has yet to be filed, it appears as though the fall was caused by an electrical shock. The 32-year-old male victim was up on the ladder to turn on a piece of equipment when he allegedly suffered the shock and fell from a ladder, resulting in his death.
As is standard with construction accidents, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is already on the scene. Every time there is an accident of this nature, an OSHA representative will come to investigate the accident to determine if the area is safe for employees to continue operations.
Have you recently been injured in a construction accident in North Carolina? If so, know that you are not alone as these types of accidents happen more frequently than most would assume. Following your accident, you'll want to protect yourself by consulting with a North Carolina personal injury lawyer who can review your case and inform you of your options, such as filing for workers' compensation.

Notes: If desired, substitute other flavored milks, omitting rose-flower water and strawberry jam.
How to Make It
Step 1
Pour 1/4 cup strawberry-flavor milk into a 1- to 1 1/2-quart pan; sprinkle with unflavored gelatin. Stir over medium-low heat until gelatin is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from heat and stir in an additional 2 3/4 cups strawberry-flavor milk and rose-flower water (optional). Pour equally into 5- to 6-ounce bowls. Cover and chill until set, about 2 hours, or up to 1 day.
Step 3
In a small bowl, stir strawberry jam to soften, then dot evenly onto puddings.

Local MLA Jonathan Craig has welcomed news that the Lagan Valley Out-of-Hours doctors' surgery has not only moved to the Emergency Department site at Lagan Valley Hospital but will be working in conjunction with department staff.
The GP Out-of-Hours Service, which was based in the White House in Lagan Valley Hospital, moved on Tuesday November 24 to newly refurbished premises beside the current Emergency Eepartment. "This is a welcome step forward that should benefit patients," said Mr Craig.
"This will promote closer collaboration to ensure patients are directed to the most appropriate service for their presenting condition.
"The GP Out-of-Hours Service will operate on Monday to Friday from 6pm to 8am, and open 24 hours at weekends and bank holidays.
"Patients must ring first to speak to a doctor for medical advice and priority will be given to those with the most urgent medical conditions.
"The closer working between GP Out-of-Hours and the Emergency Department will be mutually beneficial when both are operational, as patients can be directed to the most appropriate service for care and treatment of our patients."
Lisburn Councillor John Palmer also welcomed the relocation.
"I am delighted that this move has been made and I am confident it will help to further improve the service provided to patients in the Lisburn area," he said.
"A lot of hard work has gone into relocating the service and I know the Trust will continue the work to provide 24/7 access to the Lagan Valley Hospital.
"I am also pleased that a former Hillsborough doctor will be taking on the role of the new manager of the Out-of -Hours service at the Lagan Valley."

Business Process Modelling (BPM) Best Practice
A business process could be defined as the self-contained, logical order of activities, that are executed for the transformation of an business object with the goal of accomplishing a given task.
As key business processes are typically valuable corporate assets, process modelling can be used to define, analyse, improve and even automate these tasks, all of which support the business process management (BPM) process. Effective process modelling makes use of a common naming convention and methodology, shows the integration of processes with systems, organisations and data, and supports process walkthroughs for validation.
These models, as represented above in swimlane format, represent the benchmark process flow upon which further "what-if" analysis can be measured and in turn supports process reengineering for the introduction of improvements and efficiencies.
Business Process Modelling can be viewed as the second stage of the BPM approach, laying the foundation for the process analysis, improvement, implementation and control steps.
One approach to process modelling is to use a modelling tool such as ARIS from IDS Scheer that applies a defined Grammar (syntax, semantics, notation) and supports a proven methodology (conventions, lifecycle, process). A modelling grammar provides the set of principles and rules against the use of a defined set of symbols used to visualise entity relationships. The modelling methodology typically follows accepted standards specifying the syntax, semantics and notation applied through the modelling process lifecycle.
The best modelling tools also offer reference models and lifecycle management tools to facilitate the modelling process. A step further is for the application to offer workflow modelling and execution, such as YAWL.
So what really contributes to the success of a process modelling exercise?
In addition to the actual "process of process modelling" (conducting interviews. workshops etc) and the use of an effective modelling application, other key success factors include the level of senior management support for the project and access to staff with sufficient application domain knowledge. One point to always remember though is that different stakeholders (model designer v contributor v consumer) will always have a differing view of the process due to their organisational role and skill set eg. Business or IT focus. Factors of difference will include the perceived usefulness, ease of use and overall satisfaction of the models intended use.
And finally, a view of the process modelling roadblocks and the current issues identified in a study by Indulska, Recker and Rosemann from both an academic and practitioner perspective. Through this study it became clear that academics typically concentrate on the functional process modelling properties whilst BPM practitioners are more concerned with process adoption issues.
This disconnect between academia and process application is further highlighted in the following perceived benefits of process modelling table:
So where does that leave us now? Ready to discuss model governance and process execution…..

Another great post by Mr. Graham. Good description of the business modeling best practices.
I believe the key issue or challenge with process modeling is the unfamiliarity of most business users and even analysts with how to do this and also the lack of availability of easy-to-use tools that are better than just using Visio or PowerPoint.
I have not used the Aris tool mentioned here. Our team has been using the AccuProcess Modeler in the recent months and have found this to be a great tool which anyone can use without a lot of formal training. It includes process modeling, documentation and even process simulation for the as-is and to-be processes. It is available at: http://www.accuprocess.com

iFixit finds third-party MacBook Pro and iMac Pro repairs still an option, at least for nowTagged with: #Technology
October 6, 2018 12:19 am
In the wake of revelations that Apple plans to employ a special diagnostics tool that effectively blocks certain third-party MacBook Pro and iMac Pro repairs, DIY specialist iFixit evaluated the issue to find the new policy is not yet active.
iFixit personnel swaps MacBook Pro displays to test Apple's new repair policy. | Source: iFixit
On Thursday, leaked Apple support network documents outlined a new process Authorized Service Providers must follow when repairing Macs containing the T2 security chip, currently limited to the 2018 MacBook Pro and iMac Pro.
Specifically, Apple said repair personnel must run proprietary system configuration software, "Apple Service Toolkit 2," after replacing the display assembly, top case, logic board or Touch ID board of a MacBook Pro and the logic board or flash storage on an iMac Pro. Failure to run the software suite renders the host system inoperable, Apple says.
According to iFixit, however, the repair policy is not yet in effect. In evaluating Apple's claims, the DIY firm purchased a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and proceeded to swap displays with an identical MacBook Pro model subjected to its annual teardown in July. iFixit also updated the older machine to macOS Mojave and traded logic boards.
In each scenario, both MacBook Pro models functioned normally following the repairs.
"Our guess is that this software tracks serial numbers and other parts data so Apple can verify AASPs are correctly completing repairs," iFixit said in a blog post. "It may also perform calibration, or it could simply be a way of keeping their authorized network in line. Basically it means Apple owns your device, not you, and could conceivably disable it remotely if they detect unauthorized repairs going on."
The firm goes on to say the AST 2 procedure might be a system for tracing parts used in Apple's authorized repair network. Alternatively, it could be a method by which Apple can monitor the quality of repairs or track replacement rates.
"It's possible that units with swapped parts may operate normally, but still report a failure in Apple diagnostic tests for having unauthorized' components installed—much like earlier units did on earlier versions of AST for third party HDD/SSD, RAM and batteries," iFixit said.
The new policy was widely reported after its disclosure Thursday, with some voicing concern that AST 2 played into so-called "planned obsolescence" strategies. Depending on how the system rolls out, Apple can, for example, discontinue repair support eligibility for T2-equipped machines when they reach end-of-life, forcing customers to buy a new machine.
Others, including iFixit, ponder how Apple's strategy impacts — or might be impacted by — "right to repair" legislation being readied in a number of U.S. states. The laws seek to force tech companies like Apple to provide consumers and third-party repair outlets access to repair information, diagnostic equipment and parts.Tags: Technology

Most of us just know that blackberries taste good, so we eat them. That's good, because the list of blackberry benefits to the human body is long. Blackberries are among the most beneficial berries one can consume, and can only improve immune system function and overall health.
5 Blackberry Benefits
- The regular consumption of blackberries, due to the high tannin content, has been proven to help promote the healthy tightening of tissue. That's right ladies. (And guys). Forget about surgery, just eat more blackberries if you want to stay looking young.
- Blackberries are loaded with Anthocyanins, a powerful phytonutrient that's been shown to protect the brain from oxidative stress. Studies suggest it may even reduce the effects of conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Note: When you hear the word phytonutrient, think photosynthesis. Although we can't convert sunlight energy to chemical energy like plants, we need lots of energy for our immune systems to work properly. Phytonutrients deliver incredible benefits in our quest to live a life of super immunity. Don't forget that!
- The deep, dark blue colour ensures blackberries have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits. Blackberries are rich in anthocyanin pigments and ellagic acid, two cancer fighting antioxidants. Antioxidants are known for lowering the risk of a number of cancers.
- Blackberries are packed with Vitamin K. Just one cup serves up 28.5 mcg or 36% of your daily recommended intake. Vitamin K has a wide range of benefits and has been shown to aid in muscle relaxing.
- Blackberries are loaded with bioflavonoids, along with many other nutritional benefits including a very low sodium count with only 62 calories to a cup. Bioflavonoids, also known just as, flavonoids exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer properties. Flavonoids protect against oxidative and free radical damage caused by everyday pollution and stress put on our bodies.
Blackberries, A Super Berry and a Super Food
Blackberries are a super food and a great snack at any time of the year. As blackberries come into season be sure to get out and pick some for your super food meal, shake or as a treat to go with that bowl of ice cream! If you live in the Northern Hemisphere be sure to freeze some for the long winter – blackberries are a perfect edition to many super food meals.

Of course, there's a catch. On Wednesday afternoon Jacob complained that he had a runny nose and mentioned in passing how he didn't think he should go back to school because of it. We of course made him go back, but then on Wednesday evening, he began to cough and sneeze.
Then on Thursday morning, Jacob's cough was very bad. It was way worse than the day before so we let him stay home from school. One nice thing about Jacob having Asperger's is that he exhibits patterns that we as parents have learnt to pick up on. Firstly, when Jacob says he's sick, he means it. And secondly when he's mildly sick, there's no point in sending him to school because his short fuse becomes even shorter. Almost to the point that it's non existent.
So he was lying on the couch and all of a sudden he puked out of nowhere. It was on his face and clothes, in his hair and all over the couch. But he did feel a bit better afterwards. And today he's feeling a little bit better, but he's still under the weather.
Did I mention that today was a P.D. day for his school? Of course Jacob's law states that if Jacob is to get sick, it will be at the worst conceivable time. Like on a long weekend for instance. So it appears that we'll be taking it easy this weekend while Jacob recuperates on the sofa. I'm sure that Shannie and I could plan an date night, but it's not fair to her sister who usually watches Jacob for us. And I'm sure that Jacob will be better for a fresh school week on Monday.
Did I mention that now I'm starting to get a sore throat? It's just my luck that I'd get sick during the bust season at my work. The last few months of our season is when I make up for all the downtime I have in the Summer, so a week off is not an option, even if I'm puking my guts out. The nice thing is that I work outdoors so the fresh air is great at revitalising a sore throat.
It's amazing to me that for a guy who rarely gets sick, it never seems to fail that I catch something from Jacob. It seems that little kid germs are the worst type out there. It doesn't matter how many times Jacob and I wash our hands (which he's great at), it's still no match for all the grubbiness that comes with a school full of kids. Hopefully my sore throat doesn't become anything more, because I'd hate to lose 80 hours pay. So I'm just going to tough it out and cough on my pay check next week.
|Thank God.

There have been calls for the families of those who died during the Life Esidimeni tragedy to come forward, as government tries to start an "alternative dispute resolution" it was mandated to do by an investigation.
The Gauteng premier's office was trying to reach the families of more than 100 mentally ill patients who died when they were transferred from Life Esidimeni facilities to NGOs, The Star reported on Wednesday.
In February, health ombudsman Malegapuru Makgoba released the findings of his investigation into the tragedy, and recommended the families of the victims and government enter into an alternative dispute resolution process. This is to be headed by retired deputy chief justice Dikgang Moseneke.
Makgoba found that at least 94 patients died when they were moved to 27 NGOs, many of which were not registered and could not cater to their needs. The patients died of hunger, thirst and cold after the move, which was a cost-cutting measure.
Gauteng premier David Makhura's spokesperson, Thabo Masebe, reportedly said the office was trying to find all of the families.
"We want people to contact the department so they can be part of the process. We don't want to leave anyone out," he said.
As of the beginning of August, 115 deaths have been reported, while 37 inquests and 73 inquiries have been opened, The Star reported.
Families have until Friday to contact the premier's office and can call 086 001 1000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Meanwhile, the DA's Jack Bloom said on Tuesday that two senior officials implicated in the deaths have received a total of R1.17million while suspended on full pay, while six other officials are still employed by the Gauteng health department. Gauteng health MEC Gwen Ramakgopa reportedly revealed this in a reply to written questions in the Gauteng provincial legislature.
"Head of Department (HOD) Dr T E Selebano and Director of Mental Health Dr M J Manamela were suspended on the 8th and 15th Februarythis year after the report of the Health Ombudsman was made public on 1 February.
"Dr Selebano has since been paid R784 040 and Dr Manamela has received R385 269 while their disciplinary process continues.
"A further six Deputy Directors faced disciplinary hearings but were not suspended. According to Ramokgopa, this was because "there was no reason to suspend them when the Health Ombudsman's recommendation was for 'corrective' disciplinary action."
"Ramokgopa says that the Department had to follow supply chain processes to get outside professionals to handle the disciplinary hearings, which led to delays," said Bloom.

MFT Monthly color challenge always throw me for a loop because i usually have never thought of those color combos. This one is really great. I love the look of these colors together and I groaned when I saw the Safety Orange but look how it accents this so nicely. Everything I used on this card is from MFT. I think they must be my favoritest of all places to order from. I would love to visit their store sometime. I did stamp surgery on the sentiment that was in the Snowfall of blessings set. It is a horizontal sentiment in the set.

As the air begins to chill every time you walk outside, you know fall is just around the corner. Since things are changing outside, it is time to change things inside as well. You can bring the warm colors of fall into your home in a simple manner with a few decorations and changes. Here are a few ideas.
Natural Colors
The easiest thing to do is simply change a few colors within the home to reflect the colors of fall outside. You can pair your normal white plates with rustic orange napkins on your table to give a hint of the seasonal color. You can also change throw pillows with similar deep orange and red colors.
Utilize Pumpkins
Pumpkins scream fall so in order to bring all into your home, use pumpkins to their fullest extent. You can get small pumpkins in a variety of colors and make them into a centerpiece. You can also get foam or plastic pumpkins and carve designs into them and use them year after year. Pile some on your front steps or in the entryway and your home will edge into the fall season as soon as you open the door.
Enjoy Foliage
If your favorite part about fall is the beautiful colors on the trees, there is no reason you have to go outside to enjoy them. Arrange a fall foliage decoration with leaves of every color in order to bring fall inside. Get a variety of deep reds, oranges, and greens and coordinate with a vase that looks weathered.
Enjoy Steps
You can bring a lot of color to the front of your home by using the steps around your porch. Line the steps with colorful mums, pumpkins, and box woods to get a stunning display that starts the fall feel before you even get inside.
Mix and Match
It is fun to use as many fall items as possible in one arrangement. Create a blooming pumpkin to bring everything fall has to offer into one place. Grab pumpkin, clean it out, line it with a plastic bag and then arrange flowers and foliage in fall colors. This is a great centerpiece and decoration that can be changed out throughout the season.
Fall is a beautiful season and many homeowners want to bring the season into the home. These simple ideas make it easy to decorate without spending a lot of time or money on the effort.

I will have copies of my book "Of Honey and Mud" available for purchase at this years #ShockPopComicCon coming up Valentines day weekend. If you don't want to wait, you can most definitely check the link in my bio and order yourself a copy RIGHT NOW. 🍃 It is a book about pressed flowers and the tattoos I made from them. It explores folklore and symbolism and the idea that we can carry these ideas with us in the form of tattoos. 🍃 thank you to everyone involved, it was a beautiful process and I am lucky there are people out there who support the things I do. Thank you!

It is important to measure the effectiveness of all Employee Wellness Programs.
There are several very simple ways to measure Employee Wellness Programs:
How many attended the corporate health and Employee Wellness Program,
and was there participation or a visible level of interest?
Use a short and simple pen and paper evaluation that people fill out at the
end of the Employee Wellness Plan /presentation. Statements that are rated on
a scale from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree) will give valuable
information. Ask about:
- The value of the Employee Wellness Programs to the individual
- The style of the presenter
- The presenter's knowledge of the topic
- The level of knowledge gained by the staff member
- Other areas that would be of interest for future Employee Wellness Programs
Examples of Questions about Employee Wellness Programs
- This program provided me with information and/or skills I will use.
- The presenter was knowledgeable about the subject matter.
- There was adequate time for questions.
- The methods used to present the information were effective.
Open-ended questions about Employee Wellness Programs may include:
- The best component of this Employee Wellness Plan was…
- The component that needed improvement was….
- I would attend another Employee Wellness Plan by this speaker…
- Topics I would like to see included in other presentations or Wellness
This would be a process evaluation that reviews how well the Employee Wellness
Programs were implemented. It is also important to look at health outcomes and
cost outcomes of Employee Wellness Programs.
More in-depth information about the cost-effectiveness of Employee Wellness
Programs can be found by analyzing data before and after Employee Wellness Programs
concerning health care claims, workers' comp claims, sick time, productivity
levels, etc. Health outcomes for Employee Wellness Programs can be measured
by looking at health claims and sick time.
It is also important to look at the impact of Employee Wellness Programs on
family members. For example, smoking by pregnant mothers may lead to the birth
of a severely impaired child. This could cost an employer or health plan hundreds
of thousands of dollars, an expense that could have been avoided with well-designed
Employee Wellness Programs.
You can also compare the cost per staff member of running the Employee Wellness
Programs to the savings per staff member. One evaluation of Employee Wellness
Programs involving 20,000 to 25,000 staff members at New York City-based Citibank
showed a return of $6.70 for every dollar the organization invested in Employee
Wellness Programs. The findings were based on a study of medical costs and rates
of absenteeism.1
An ongoing evaluation of your Employee Wellness Programs should be performed
each year and additional periodic evaluations of Employee Wellness Programs
should be conducted on an ad hoc basis. An ad hoc evaluation of your Employee
Wellness Programs might be initiated by a variety of triggers. For example,
at the end of flu season, a organization might want to measure its flu shot

Nash, 08 Jun 2012People who know russian market will see this as a good strategy. Expensive phones in Russia is... moreAgree Russian market is full of ppl who want to showoff their well being.
However I want to point out other view on such ppl:
if anybody will show off with such device which is:
-Expensive with 2 years old technology
regardless of fact it might be beautiful, he exposes his misunderstanding of technology and increases chances of thought provoking idea that he must loose his money sooner or later.
I get the whole luxury thing, and I've even been suckered into saying I like some of the worst offenders, but I can't get behind these phones. The styles are absolutely ancient looking and not.... stylish at all. The prices are relatively low for the segment, but they look more like imitation luxury then luxury itself. Pass.
Just wait for a china knockoff at a fraction of the price and better features...
how the hell can they use croc skin thats ban .. they should be sued of in the court and should not be spared for a peny ....
Nicolas, 08 Jun 2012It seems to me that these luxury phones are created specifically to mock the rich intelligence... moreBwaha. Exactly!!!
They should have stick to making car but not mobile phone! Leave the mobile phone to someone else that know how!
These phones are for Grandpas who just wants a phone that can take pictures but gravely cares about its Brand Names....
the design department of Lamborghini gadgets could only be old stone age people...
In short, this phone is For Grandpas made by Grandpas...
I like Vertu phones and Lamborghini cars (no, I can't afford them) but sadly these jus look like gold-plated ninja turtles. :-/
To be honest, these prices aren't that ridiculous as in another luxury phones. Sure extremely expensive, but less than Vertus.
Sure they should have the best of the market CPUs and GPUs, as well as the rest of the hardware, to mach the name.
hy guys, any one noticed that the keys onthe first and second phone has arabic characters on them???
Seriously, how many of you that comment on this are iPhone user, please own up.
rather buy a galaxy s3 and asus tranformer prime instead of buyin any one these phones!

Spring-Green Lawn Care is proud to announce its newest Franchise Owner, Steve Ward of SJ Ward Landscapes in Longmont, CO.
Ward likes to think of his diversification with Spring-Green as a long-term commitment that will provide stability for the future. "Spring-Green expands our opportunity to provide fertilization and weed control services to commercial and residential properties. At scale this business can be very profitable and provides our family recurring revenue," said Ward, "As I prepare my business for succession planning or eventual sale adding Spring-Green simply further stabilizes our business model and allows us to better service our existing and future customers."
Ward has been involved in the green industry ever since he was an elementary school student mowing lawns. In 1993 he started SJ Ward Landscapes, providing custom landscaping, hardscaping, lighting, fencing, sprinklers, nursery, and lawn maintenance. Ward said his business "started with just myself and a couple guys in the back of a pick-up truck." Now, his company employs sixty people in the field, plus an office staff.
His business is a well-established business, but Ward says there's a large market in the Colorado area, and he knows Spring-Green will help him expand even further. "I'm a math guy. For me, it was all about the bottom line numbers," Ward stated. "That's what really attracted me to Spring-Green." He appreciates the fact that Spring-Green has been doing this for over 40 years but still feels like a family-owned business. "I like the hands-on approach," said Ward.
Ward recently invested in his company's infrastructure because he wanted to have a good, solid foundation to build upon. He is excited to use that foundation for his new Spring-Green venture. "Spring-Green's going to be huge for us," said Ward.
"Steve's family values and deep connection to the business make him an ideal addition to the Spring-Green family," said James Young, President of Spring-Green. "We are excited about having him take over this established territory. With his proven success in the market area and hands on approach, Steve is a great fit, and we look forward to helping him grow his business in the years ahead."

Seasons Amherstburg helped brighten the spirits of those at the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission just in time for Easter.
Seasons general manager Brenda D'Alimonte, food services manager Beau Veldhuis and Seasons residents Joan Browning, Nida Agnositis and Matt and Julie Predki delivered 100 hams to the mission last Thursday afternoon.
"Each Seasons property did the same for their communities," explained D'Alimonte. "It's to help out around the Easter holidays."
D'Alimonte said they know that the mission provides a valuable service in the community and that there are also seniors in the community who need some assistance.
"That's what we're here for," she added.
Tim McAllister, president of the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission's board of directors, said they had their Easter dinner Monday. He was thankful for the donation from Seasons Amherstburg.
"This is a big boost for the mission to receive this many hams," said McAllister. "It makes us feel very excited. It's great that Seasons was able to donate these hams."
Donations are always welcome at the mission, he added, but it is special when donations come around holidays.
"At these times, it means a lot to the people we serve," said McAllister. "Any time is good (for donations), but especially on occasions like Easter."
McAllister added it was "hard to put into words" how much the donation meant to the non-profit organization.
"It means a lot to the mission," he said.

Is your family looking for something fun to do outdoors on an autumn afternoon? On Sunday, October 5th, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. grab a kite and join park staff on the west lawn of Fort Stanwix National Monument for a couple of hours of outdoor fun. "The goal of the program is to get families out into the fresh air in the last weeks before the cold Central NY winds start blowing, which forces many people in for the winter," says Park Ranger Valerie Morgan.

There is no registration for the program, and as with all of the programs offered at the park, it is free of charge. In the event of rain, the program will be postponed until the spring.
Fort Stanwix National Monument is open seven days a week from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.Admission to the park is free. Activities are ongoing unless noted.

With the update to Visual Studio with Update 3 there is a new experience for helping you Analyse your Graphics
Once frames are captured, in the Visual Studio Graphic Diagnostic you can analyse their performance.
To do this simply double click on any frame in the diagsession file you can also save the diagsession file in Visual Studio or save the vsglog file in VSGA for later inspections. By just clicking on the Frame# link. This will open the frame in another instance of Visual Studio 2013 named Visual Studio Graphics Analyser (VSGA).
VSGA is a customized VS environment that only contains the necessary components for analysing frames.
The huge benefit of using VSGA is it's lightweight and has a low memory footprint.
More importantly the VSGA provides within a Visual Studio IDE as is a highly focused environment for analysing frames. You also have access to all the familiar features including..
1. Event List
2. Pixel History
3. Pipeline Stage
4. Objects
5. Event Call Stack
6. Debugging shader code.
You can also configure how VSGA looks so it's easier to distinguish it from your regular VS IDE window by using VIEW->Options page in VSGA.
For example you can simply change the theme as in the screenshot below where the VSGA window is using the dark theme while Visual Studio is using the light theme.

Nice article, very detailed certainly. I had an article about the best way to write a PRINCE2 Enterprise Case earlier than, I'll put it up some time later. All-or-none underwriting: An arrangement whereby a safety issue is canceled if the underwriter is unable to re-promote the whole concern.

Moreover, what some maybe some small business owners or self-employed people do not understand is that any business is susceptible to being sued for all types of reasons. No one can physically shield themselves from each conceivable disaster that can happen at some point in the future. It's why insurance exists. It's why you need business insurance coverage. It is why you'll want to make the funding in coverage to protect all the pieces you have labored for in establishing and growing your small business.
Passable completion of secondary or highschool training. four GCSEs at C or above. Warranties. Credit cards also can provide further warranties or insurance coverage for items bought that may exceed those of the retailer. If an merchandise purchased with a credit card turns into defective after the producer's warranty has expired, for instance, it is worth checking with the card firm to see if it'll present protection.

In this video, we'll take a look at all of our active URL redirects, we'll see how to create "Short URLs", and we'll watch as a URL alias is automatically updated when we change an article's title.
Viewing active URL redirects
The "List" tab lists all active URL redirects.
- Go to "Configuration => Search and metadata => URL redirects" (admin/config/search/redirect"
Here you can see that I have two redirects. You'll see that "users/1/edit" is redirecting to "user/1/edit", but if I click "users/1/edit" in the "From" column, you'll see that we're redirected to "users/brian/edit", which (thanks to Pathauto and Sub-pathauto) is the more readable, user-friendly alias of "user/1/edit".
Back on the URL redirects page, you can also click "Add redirect" to manually create a redirect. One reason you might use this is to create multiple, or "short" URLs that link to specific content on your site.
For example, on ModulesUnraveled.com, I create a URL alias for each podcast episode. This way, I can tell Pathauto to create URL aliases that include the podcast title (so that visitors and search engines know what to expect on each page), but I can say "short URLs" on the show. So, on the show, I simply say "go to modulesunraveled.com/podcast/048" and when users type that in, they are redirected to "modulesunraveled.com/podcast/048-mortendk-and-pedro-cambra... etc"
Auto-generated URL aliases when you change the title
Let's say I wanted to give "Article 1" a more descriptive title, or maybe just fix a typo. We can simply edit the article, make the change to the title, and click save.
Now, if we head back to our Redirects page, you'll see a new entry redirecting from our old URL to "node/1". The redirect module does this automatically because we checked the box next to "Automatically create redirects when URL aliases are changed" in the Settings tab. This way, if someone had bookmarked the article, or another site is linking to it, visitors will be redirected to the new URL, and search engines will know that it is the same content, so you'll keep any SEO juice the page has built up, and you won't be penalized for having duplicate content.

Older Adult Descriptions of Living Apart Together
Family Relations / Family Relations Interdisciplinary Journal of Applied Family Studies
Published online on August 12, 2016
Much can be learned about the nature and meaning of close relationships by studying language use. This qualitative study explores the process of defining relationships and choosing partner reference terms among an understudied population—living apart together (LAT) couples in older adulthood. Twenty‐five men and women aged 60 years and older were interviewed about their LAT relationships. Grounded theory analyses demonstrated that participants chose terms by trial and error through a process of meaning making. Terms associated with youth culture (e.g., girlfriend, boyfriend) were spurned, although they were commonly used for lack of age‐appropriate alternatives. Participants defined LAT by drawing contrasts to dating and marital relationships. Practical implications and future directions for research are discussed.

Human beings are constantly engaged in some activity or different to be able to satisfy their unlimited wants. Day-after-day we come across the word 'enterprise' or 'businessman' straight or not directly. Business has grow to be important part of trendy world. Non-earnings need to publish their financial statements and it's all the time a good idea to take a look at them to see what their general ratio of expenses to contributions is. If a small % of contributions goes to bills it is an indication that the organization is nicely run whereas if a very large % of the contributions go to bills then that is most likely not a great place to contribute since most of every contribution will go to overhead. Instead of specializing in CEO wage only, look at the income to expense ratios and how they're utilizing the money they accumulate earlier than making a judgment about how the group is operated.
These items could sound tedious and they will certainly take time, but the above information will prevent many hours and complications as you go forward.

When productions and actual revenue began to decline late in 1912, maybe because of authorities motion, there was nothing in place to stop the downward cycle. The cycle continued downward for 23 months and didn't enhance till the start of World War I which elevated demand. Although this financial recession was slightly shorter than the previous financial recession that had simply concluded, unemployment elevated, about 7.5%, and a really sharp a 26% and 20% decline in business and commerce/industrial activity, respectively.
Application of primary principles and methods of international monetary management to the choice-making process of the multinational agency. The course covers the foreign exchange markets, management of the international exchange threat, worldwide working capital management, and overseas portfolio and direct funding. Elements bearing on the worldwide financing and funding choices, comparable to political danger and international taxation points will probably be also examined.
Finally let's take a look to generally used value multiples. We think about EV/Ebitda as a powerful worth indicator. We consider that as well as EV/Ebit and P/E and P/CF also needs to be thought of. There isn't much to argue on EV/Ebit and on P/E. Let briefly discuss P/CF: as Cash Stream (CF) we take into account working money circulate merely calculated as Web earnings plus depreciation and amortisation. P/CF could also be used as a proxy of EV/Ebit: in corporations with relevant monetary debt and / or relevant depreciation provisions P/CF turns into a very powerful software for peer comparisons.

Alumni Awards – 30 Years
Posted by Caitlin Joyce on Wednesday, March 4, 2015 at 9:59 PM PST
This year, the Seattle University Alumni Awards celebrates its 30th anniversary. But how did this tradition get its start? We spoke to Mark Burnett, Director of Alumni Relations at the time, to get the scoop.
The Alumni Awards were formed shortly after Seattle University moved to Division II. Many alumni events were focused on athletics so the alumni office looked for other ways to engage alumni-the first Alumni Awards Celebration was born.
Hosted at the Olympic Four Seasons Hotel (now the Fairmont Olympic Hotel), the first ceremony offered eight awards to honor the Seattle University community and its commitment to Jesuit values.
"Our first Alumnus of the Year was Rhoady Lee, someone who was very committed to Seattle University and it was very special to be able to honor him. The great thing about the awards is that they allow us to honor those people well known to the community and shine a light on those who are not as widely recognized," Burnett said.
"The Alumni Awards celebration has been successful in creating a sense of pride in the university. Over the last 30 years more than 200 alumni from across our various schools and colleges, each one representing who we are as a university. All of our winners have shown their dedication to community service, something we at Seattle University excel at."
Just a few of our past winners include philanthropist Bill Eisiminger '67, Medal of Honor recipient, Will Swenson, '01, community advocate, Lorena Gonzalez,'05, successful businessman, John Meisenbach '60, Restaurateur, Mick McHugh, '65, and non-profit leader, Gordon McHenry,'79.
This April, the Alumni Awards Celebration returns to where it all began, the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, where we will not only honor our 2015 winners, but all those who have won over the past 30 years.
We hope you'll join us to celebrate 30 years of outstanding leadership and service this April.

Quick synopsis of how we got here: whilst exploring the wilds of Eloria (largest of the eastern chunks of Dinosaur Island, details here), we ran across…(random roll on a table I've not posted yet)…a local potentate in exile, Orv Immeral, who promised us treasure if we helped get him back on the throne. Complication: the throne in question belonged to Quisane Von Vokk, one of the ten major sorcerors of Dinosaur Island. We had to sneak into her palace city of Eddarkand through a secret tunnel and some catacombs, straight out of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Fought gricks, giant rats, skeletons, a mummy, a black pudding, and a bunch of palace guards. Learned from a captured guard that Quisane Von Vokk was at the city coliseum for the great games (read: executions of political dissidents). Went to the arena, fought some knights in plate armor and a mind-controlled tyrannosaur that came up into the stands. Flint got bitten again, but we killed this tyrannosaur before it could do too much damage – he lost quite a few hit points but kept all of his (remaining) limbs. Meanwhile Orv Immeral and Quisane Von Vokk had been duking it out with magic. After we aced the tyrannosaur, we ganged up on Von Vokk and helped Immeral defeat her.
True to his word, Immeral hooked us up with a few minor magical items, and after we were all healed up, we set out for Minatou, realm of Vrenn Larr, queen of the Neanderthals. Fought a pack of 23 Deinonychus, a Megalodon, and Kong-class giant ape en route (but not all at the same time, thankfully). Arrived today, in both game time and real-world time.
After the first T. rex fight we picked up four Neanderthal hirelings. London and I each named two. I went with the classic Ug and Trog, and London christened his Gord and Likk. Oddly enough, in battles London likes to control Gord and Ug and I get Trog and Likk, I suspect mostly because that's the order I wrote them down in on the back of Wilvias's charcter sheet. Anyway, we've not only kept these guys alive, they've accumulated a lot of treasure and enough XP to level up several times. They've also gotten to help us do badass stuff like take out tyrannosaurs and giant apes. So we roll into Vrenn Larr's Neanderthal queendom and Gord and company start talking us up bigtime. This turns out to be a double-edged sword. On the upside, Vrenn Larr is willing to help us with supplies and directions. On the not-so-upside, it's customary for newly-arrived warriors to prove their mettle, and in exchange for her help, Vrenn Larr wants us to capture a Diplodocobra so she can train it to be her mount in battle.
So off we go, on four mammoths with Neanderthal mahouts and one additional Neanderthal warrior per mammoth (mammoths played in this case by cheap plastic dinosaurs). We find our Diplodocobra down by the ocean, snatching pterosaurs out of the sky and eating them. The plan is to wear down its hit points until it's weak enough that Wilvias, our halfling rogue, can overcome it with a Sleep spell. (In a nice bit of real world/gameworld synergy, London discovered in the PHB that our rogues could learn spells right at the time that Orv Immeral was there to teach them this power.)
Naturally the Diplodocobra does not sit still for this. We roll to see which way it goes – straight for Gustav's mammoth. It attacks the mammoth's riders – roll again – damn, it grabbed the mahout. The mammoth is understandably freaked out. Gustav has a chance to get things under control with an Animal handling skill check, which he completely blows. Will the out-of-control mammoth (1) bolt left, (2) bolt right, or (3) charge the Diplodocobra? The dice say (3). Gustav and the remaining Neanderthal passengers bail out. Trog and the guy from Vrenn Larr's tribe land just fine, Gustav face-plants and loses some HP.
Gustav gets to his feet and he and Trog get the heck out of the way. The guy from Vrenn Larr's tribe decides to do a banzai charge with his spear and gets stomped to death. Life choices, dude.
Now the Diplodocobra changes course (again, at the whim of the dice) – it's headed for the mammoth carrying Vaskin and Likk. The Diplodocobra's head darts forward – who will be taken this time? Dice say…Likk. Now, Likk is as doughty a caveman as one is likely to find, and we've even gotten him to wear chain mail like everyone else who doesn't want to die. But he's currently bitten, envenomated, and hanging 40 feet in the air. It's not looking good.
But the Diplodocobra is down many HP, because everyone else has been peppering it with arrows all this time. And now it's Wilvias's turn, so he casts Sleep. Sleep is a curious spell. At least as presented in the 5e PHB, there's no save or defense against it. The caster picks a point within range (out to 90 feet), and 5d8 HP worth of beings within a 20-foot circle go to sleep, starting with the weakest. Wilvias gets a below average roll on his 5d8, of 18. The first six of those 18 are spent putting Likk to sleep, and the remaining dozen go to the Diplodocobra, which was fortunately down to 9 HP. Nighty-night, you big evil bastard.
So the Diplodocobra topples. Which way? Dice say, right toward Gustav and Trog. Do they pass their Dex saving throws and jump clear? No, they do not. But neither do they die – they just lie there for a while, down many HP and feeling pretty stupid, until the rest of the party come to pull them out.
And Likk? Between the bite and the venom he was down to 6 HP before the Diplodocobra fell. As its head neared the ground, he slipped out of its jaws and fell to earth, earning 2d6 HP of bludgeoning damage. London and I both actually held our breath as I rolled the dice…and got a 1 and a 4. Likk lives!
Now, why does a pacifist like Vrenn Larr need a Diplodocobra to ride around on? Stay tuned – foul deeds are afoot.

It is time to subscribe.
Nowadays, a fair amount of my attention goes to online advertising. This kind of advertising used to be an image and a link on a website. Sidebar filler. Banners. Maybe a popup.
Then, in an attempt to make online advertising better for a few people, a grand system of codes and servers and referential links were created and now everything is broken all of the time. Usually. For sure, 100% of the time, neither the client nor the publisher gets what they wanted out of the equation and everyone is mad and stressed out all of the time over it and I can't help but wonder if it would ALL be resolved if everyone just funded their Patreon account.
See: Advertising enables bad behavior. In some cases, it encourages the worst behaviors .
Hear me out on this.
Traffic and Audience
Advertising does work. It just has to work on scale. A very big scale. Like: global. Superbowls, Season Finales, Christmas kind of big. The advertisers should be able to afford a massive advertising budget and they should only be paying media companies that are mostly bulletproof: network TV, print publications that have been around for decades, billboards.
That's where advertising can work. Everything else sorta in that direction and things get messy and weird and the internet just sorta breaks.
When a media outlet – like the website for your local news station – tries to get to the scale where advertising works for them, problems happen.
I was thrilled to hear when The Denver Post announced it was putting up a paywall on their website. Good for them. I think that is exactly what every publication should be doing because every publication only has so much of an audience it can feasibly reach. For years the Post's digital revenue priority was CPM based.
CPM – Cost Per Mille (thousand). A metric that most online advertisers use to sell their ad space. Show an ad a thousand times, get paid. Usually anywhere from $5 to $50 per thousand. Sometimes more.
The result? A firehose of content no one could drink from. Stories published as fast as possible that had little to do with the actual news but was wallpapered with advertisements anyway. Then there was the birthing of a mobile app.When every ounce of space was covered in an ad, they threw an interstitial unit on top of everything.
The Post became unreadable. They weren't alone in it. Just about every local news outlet in Denver was modeled this way.
Scott Galloway breaks it down the cons of this model here:
Advertising fails right at the point the audience ends. Eventually, especially with local news, every audience ends. Yet, every fiscal quarter demands an increase in revenue.
Surprise: This doesn't work on a small scale. And by small I mean "anything south of two million views." When you are working on a smaller scale, the ad experience feels like it is more in the way. It messes with the content and my experience with it and it is why I use a healthy ad blocker.
The Small Producer
My first job in AdTech I was selling programmatic display advertising to website owners and publishers. We went for the long-tail publishers – the ones with organic traffic, the people who kept a blog as a hobby, who published things purely for the joy having a slice of the internet to themselves. These were the people who had an audience of friends and family and however far their collection of Twitter followers could get them. Most of these publishers made a handful of dollars from the advertising we could provide them. Yet, they were the publishers the company put up on their marquee when talking with advertisers.
Look at how awesome and valuable this organic traffic is!
However, the websites that made the kind of revenue which allowed the company to keep their lights on were website you will never visit or hear of. They were the kind of domains that split the line between "bought" traffic and "bot" traffic. These operations were shady. If online advertising was a federally regulated industry, a lot of people would be going to jail. It's not, it won't be.
Point being: the marquee publishers I worked likely never made a living off the CPM model we provided. Those that could make a living off their websites did so by selling premium memberships, merchandise, courses, speaking fees, ebooks, and so on.
The TV writers strike of 2007/2008 – before my introduction to adTech – showed me just how amazing the independent web could be. As my favorite shows fell from the airwaves and were replaced by endless iterations of American Gladiator, I turned to the world of YouTube, Vimeo, and even DailyMotion to find anything worth watching.
I found stuff like BreakALeg.TV, Casual, and the Vlogbrothers. Shows like QuarterLife were brought on by the networks because they were starved for content. As the technology improved, the path between concept and publishing shortened up and anyone with a connection could get anything they wanted published. The democratic power of the independent web was stronger than ever!
However, like any political theory, it is quickly ruined by money. Today, places like YouTube are eating up a huge wealth of attention. Advertisers would be eager to jump on this IF the content weren't so shaky.
Smaller producers are seeing the allure of the CPM model. Lone-wolf "media companies" going to the extremes to make something that will take off, go viral, and bring in the cash. Shock factor is leveraged. The Logan Pauls of the world happen. Parents dramatize the lives of their kids for views. People watch each other play video games (for the life of me…). Suddenly the medium that was YouTube is no longer bulletproof and the actions of a few content creators jeopardize the revenue opportunity for everyone else.
Advertising drives bad behavior. Especially on a CPM model. Publishers try to cheat it, Advertisers try to spend less per thousand. The advertisements get more invasive and annoying. The ad no longer tries to sell a product, it now also harvests data. Content producers hitch their wagon to advertisers and now there is an expectation to the content they produce. Breaking that expectation results in things like the Adpocalypse.
1000 True Fans
Who is at fault here?
I'd like to go ahead and blame the consumers. Those who spend hours on their devices each day consuming content that is produced in basements and on kitchen tables all over the world. The people who read, who watch, who do the clicking and sharing. Content consumers are the ones who decide if something gets to be viral or not. A viral video can pay a content creator's rent. Two of them in a row can launch a media enterprise. But how often can we tolerate things "going viral"? How satisfying was the Harlem Shake, really?
So yes, I'd like to blame you – dear reader who has made it this far (1,100 words to this point!). And myself, for not doing more to support the creators who are stuck between wanting to make something good, and finding out ways to make the good stuff pay for itself.
I think of the weekend warriors shooting backcountry ski movies on limited camera gear that are still good enough to inspire my own adventures. Or the visual artists who make stuff that I see on Instagram that want to hang in my office. Or the kinda-unknown musician I really like but only listen to on Spotify.
Kevin Kelly had the idea of 1,000 true fans. The idea that a creator takes the dollar amount they need to survive (hell, to thrive?) a year, divide it by 1000. That's how much you need to ask out of your true fans (via product sales or subscriptions, etc).
Working at it the other way: Out of all the stuff we consume – what are we true fans of? Out of everything we read or watch in a day, what are we actually gaining from it? Out of the bazillion pieces of content that are published each day and made available for free – what's actually good? What goes beyond asking for our time, and is good enough to get our money?
Maybe it's time to double down. It's time to subscribe to what we actually love and gain value from, and throw the rest to the wayside. More than just subscribing to a Twitter feed or an email list. How about putting money down and buying into the creators that you don't want to see go away?
So, yeah. It's time to subscribe. More than just following on Twitter or enabling notifications on YouTube. Instead, a way to remove the income middle-men that is the advertising. I just added a payment method to my Patreon account so that I can shell out a handful of bucks every month or so to the content producers I keep coming back to and consuming.
I have a folder of email lists and producers I'm subscribed to that send out stuff every week that I keep an intentional eye on. I always try to find at least one good creator each week to get into and find a way to support. This is all a very labor intensive process right now, but if a creator is dumping their heart and soul into something, shouldn't we be taking the time to actually appreciate it?
All of this effort to remove the creators we love from the advertising ecosystem that will always find a way to screw them over.
So yeah. Buy that book. Buy two of them. And get their record on vinyl or support their next indiegogo. Otherwise, we're left with the questionable and volatile landscape of free content.

i've been following a thread about a fairly well-known blogger who was recently robbed. she has been chronicling some of her feelings (see why my robbery matters), and also pursuing the perpetrators, online.
it makes me wonder about a few things, and reminds me of when i got robbed…
net as amplifier
social networks can be used as a means to willfully (or unintentionally) destroy or enhance reputation. i believe this to be true independent of the internet; the net just makes it easier and faster for those with the connections.
the aforementioned blogger posted pictures of her robbers on her blog. i am certain that she did this with the best of intentions, but there could be unintended consequences to her action, and the social network amplifies them (both the good and the bad). one could imagine scenarios where one or more of the men in those photos were drunk, irresponsible, yet innocent, bystanders. i am not saying this is the case, but rather pointing it out as a possibilitiy in other situations.
in devious hands, this process of net amplification could be used to smear and distort people's actions and events. in other hands, it could accelerate the wheels of justice to good end.
the net is no different than other media channels in this sense – it is a neutral vehicle that is ambivalent about the quality or accuracy of the content it carries.
i got robbed once
fwiw, i experienced something similar…i had my entire bank account drained in a matter of days after a debit card theft.
through serendipity and deduction, and with the help of the police and others, we were able to apprehend the "thug." our perp turned out to be none other than my next-door-neighbor's girlfriend. she was a blond, white, 26-year-old woman, who also happened to be a closet sociopath / bulimic / cocaine addict who had been robbing friends and family blind and pilfering identities wherever she went; she finally got caught, but left quite a wake of wreckage behind her.
after the sting in which she was caught, i met with a us attorney to provide a statement. this woman stole a total of roughly $70,000 and caused pain to dozens of people spread across several states. how long could she go to jail? the us attorney consulted a table (plot depth of crime vs. type of crime vs. how many offenses) –>2-3 years, maximum (it's all a formula).
i went to her sentencing hearing. justice was served, such as it was. she cried at her hearing, where she was sentenced to 1000 hours of community service, a year in a halfway house with an electronic tracking bracelet, and drug rehab programs. she also had to pay back all she stole (mostly to financial institutions who had already reimbursed their clients).
when i walked out of the hall of justice, i felt no satisfaction. i felt hollow and sad for the desperate hell of that woman's life, one that i couldn't really understand. she committed a crime and needed to face consequences, but prison wouldn't have helped her. who knows what happened to her after a year spent wearing that bracelet.
i drew my own mixed conclusions from those experiences, and they're harder to articulate than i would have imagined. after all was said and done, i'd say forgiveness provided me the most lasting and meaningful resolution.

What is IVR?
In telephony, interactive voice response, or IVR, is a computerized system that allows a person, typically a telephone caller, to select an option from a voice menu and otherwise interface with a computer system. Generally the system plays pre-recorded voice prompts to which the person presses a number on a telephone keypad to select the option chosen, or speaks simple answers such as yes, no, or numbers in answer to the voice prompts.

As many of you know, we've got the Green Bay Packers & the Super Bowl on our minds. Only a few more days until the big game!
Last night @ my mom's house we made some yummy peanut butter cookies in the shape of footballs...
We used this recipe from Allrecipes.com Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
(Added bonus, no dairy in the cookies so M1 can enjoy an unfrosted one as well!)
We shaped the balls into small ovals & then pinched the edges before putting them in the oven & they definitely took the shape of footballs while baking.
Next, we frosted them with store bought chocolate frosting...
Mixed up some white piping made with a mixture of powdered sugar & water.
Mixed well until the consistency of toothpaste & piped on some "strings."
(*I bought the "ketchup-like" bottle @ Michael's for super cheap... it works so well for frosting cakes & cookies.)
