Syracuse, NY – February, 2016 – Grossman St. Amour CPAs helped to fill Jada's bucket list last week by hosting a special Valentines party for her. Jada visited the accounting firm at 9th Floor, Lincoln Center where she received tons of love and attention from everyone. She was presented with toys, treats, and supplies to take back to her buddies at HumaneCNY.
Jada's Story
Jada was rescued on January 5th and was quickly recovering, but then was diagnosed with cancer. The animal shelter's staff created a bucket list for Jada to help her live out her remaining days. "We were so excited to have her here, said Lisa Clark Sova, accountant at Grossman St. Amour CPAs. Everyone got to spend a few minutes petting and playing with her. Overall, the bucket list idea has drawn attention to animal cruelty and we hope it serves to make life better for other animals."

Blog: Countdown to letting agent registration deadline
CIH Scotland's policy and practice manager Ashley Campbell reminds members that letting agent applications must be submitted by 1 October 2018.
The Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 introduced a requirement for all letting agents operating in Scotland to join a register managed by the Scottish Government. The legislation covers organisations and individuals that carry out 'letting agency work' which generally means:
- Carrying out work for a private landlord who wants to let their property out to a tenant; or
- Manging a property which is either rented out to a tenant or is planned to be rented out.
This includes tasks like collecting rent, inspecting properties and arranging repairs. The full definition of letting agency work is set out in section 61 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014.
Social landlords do not have to register unless they manage homes for a private landlord, where a Registered Social Landlord (RSL) manages properties that are leased to a subsidiary or an RSL subsidiary manages properties for a private landlord. Depending on how businesses are structured, social landlords that offer mid market rent or other services in the private sector might have to register. We have found since the requirements were introduced that there are quite a few grey areas and a bit of uncertainty about who needs to register. The Scottish Government's official guidance is that if you are not sure whether your organisation needs to register, you should seek independent legal advice.
In order to join the register, organisations or individuals need to pass a 'fit and proper person' test, comply with a new Code of Practice and key members of staff need to have achieved a minimum qualification equivalent to Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) level 6 or above. Carrying out letting agency work without being registered will be an offence after the deadline has passed and can result in a fine of up to £50,000, up to six months imprisonment or both.
Further information about who needs to register and who needs to undertake a qualification is available on the Scottish Government's website.
Letting agents need to submit a valid application to the register before the 1st October or will face a higher fee for a late application and potentially legal action if they continue to operate without registering.
In order to be a valid application, the organisation needs to have paid the relevant fee and all relevant members of staff need to have completed their qualification. Bearing in mind that invoices can take several weeks to process, it is recommended that organisations who want to pay by invoice should register at least a month in advance. Otherwise an online payment would be the only option to get the payment processed in time and avoid the higher fee for a late application.
The Scottish Government is urging all letting agents to make a start on their applications as soon as possible. The form requires a lot of information, particularly for larger organisations which will have to enter details of multiple staff members and may take longer to complete than expected. You can take a look at the registration system and check what information you will need to have gathered in advance or start your application here.
Our Letwell course, delivered in partnership with Landlord Accreditation Scotland was designed to meet the training requirements set out in the regulations. All of the courses are full this year but we will be accepting new students in 2019. You can find out more about the course or register interest for next year's courses online. If you or a colleague still need a qualification but haven't started yet, you can find details of other programmes here.

If you're looking for some thought-provoking reading on this dull Friday, there's an excellent piece over on The Economist website about how advances in technology could soon spark massive changes in the jobs market.
According the the article, an Oxford University study reckons 47% of today's jobs could be automated in the next 20 years.
Of course, this phenomenon is nothing new — as the article observes, machines have been displacing humans for years:
"In the Industrial Revolution artisan weavers were swept aside by the mechanical loom. Over the past 30 years the digital revolution has displaced many of the mid-skill jobs that underpinned 20th-century middle-class life."
However, it's the sheer speed of change in the 21st century that could spell trouble ahead. Although history demonstrates that technology creates new jobs to replace those lost, there's a lag, as shown by the huge disruption in the photographic market:
"When Instagram, a popular photo-sharing site, was sold to Facebook for about $1 billion in 2012, it had 30m customers and employed 13 people. Kodak, which filed for bankruptcy a few months earlier, employed 145,000 people in its heyday."
Computers are getting better at doing more complicated tasks, and we may not be far from having self-driving cars, robot baristas and even computerised doctors.
That's going to bring plenty of busines opportunities, for sure. But it could also spell significant changes in society. Are we ready to deal with them?

Solar Panel Installations Are Powering Tampa
The city of Tampa has decided: clean, safe and renewable energy is the future. Over the past year, Tampa has had hundreds of residential solar installations. Outdoor and nature loving residents want to keep the air and water clean and the environment flourishing. But there's another reason people are installing solar panels systems. Tampa and surrounding area homeowners are saving big on utility bills.
Solar cuts down the amount you pay for electricity from Tampa Electric Company or TECO Energy. You produce the electricity your home needs and the surplus energy goes back into the power grid. Solar panels free up your hard-earned money to let you head down to the shore, never miss a day out on the water, and just do more of what you enjoy.
For the past 2 years, our Florida solar company has been part of the effort to help Florida go green. Between a federal tax credit, Florida income-tax deductions and other local Tampa incentives, solar has become a no-brainer for Floridians. Solar Tampa has greater net metering returns compared to locations outside of Florida, thanks to the sunshine.
We offer $0 upfront for design, permitting, and installation costs
With Blue Power Plus+ qualifying Florida homeowners get 18 months free solar
Federal solar tax credits are available
Our BluePower Plus+ plan combines the best financing aspects of a 3rd party owned solar lease, called a power purchase agreement (PPA), with the superior return and flexibility of solar ownership.
Learn more about the cost of solar for your home by contacting us, as the price differs for each system installed.
We make sure you save money in the long run by installing efficient photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, inverters, and other equipment. This also adds to your home resale value should you decide to move.
Your solar panel system is customized for your home, budget, and lifestyle. Our solar company uses modern black-on-black solar panels, which are higher quality and blend in with your roof. The system also includes a 25-year manufacturer warranty along with a production guarantee, a workmanship warranty, and a roof penetration warranty.

As America's #1 solar installer, we continue to grow throughout Florida, so please get in touch to find out how we can serve you.
We provide solar to many areas within and surrounding Tampa. Major cities include St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Palmetto, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Lake Wales, and more.

How do we describe our love for Florida? The Sunshine State is known for its diverse nature and wildlife, from beautiful beaches to the subtropical wetlands of the Everglades . Florida is home to many species of animals including endangered species, like the manatee and the Florida panther. Florida reminds us that we ought to do our part as individuals to keep the environment clean.
Blue Raven Solar is among the most well-reviewed, fastest-growing solar companies in the nation. As a full-service in-house solar provider, we do not outsource our work to any contractors. This means a speedy installation—1 to 2 months in most cases—and superior customer service for you. We take care of design, permitting, engineering, electrical, installation, paperwork, and everything else.
It's been almost 2 years now since opening our Florida, Blue Raven Solar headquarters. And while there are many reasons why we're here, these are the some of biggest:

Cuttack/Bhubaneswar: Raksha Bandhan is the festival that celebrates the bond of love between brother and sister. Raksha Bandhan in Sanskrit means 'bond of protection' and every year sisters tie 'Rakhi' on their brothers' hand which symbolises the bond of protection. In return, brothers promise to protect their sisters and be with their side forever. Sisters also pray for their brothers' long and happy life while tying the rakhi on their wrist.
This year, this special day will be celebrated on 15 August 2019 which coincides with 73rd Independence Day.
"There is nothing better than celebrating this heartfelt festival with your brother but there are times when you are not with him to tie rakhi on his wrist. In such a scenario, when your brother is sitting far away in some other city or country, then sending him a beautifully framed Raksha Bandhan message is very thoughtful."
Here are some unique messages from sisters staying across the state, who have shared their love, affection, and care for their brothers with Pragativadi.
Tapti Majumdar: Raksha Bandhan…I wait eagerly for this occasion to come. This year is going to be very wonderful Raksha Bandhan as we both (me & my bro) are in the same city. So I hope this Rakhi we will enjoy the most. My menu for Rakhi is being very delicious. We are also prepared for watching 'Mission Mangal' to add up more fun and enjoyment in our celebration. "Brother"- for a girl this word or this relation means a lot. My brother is 5 years younger to me but still, Brother is one who can be your friend, guide, and mentor. This year is again very special for both of us because my brother has started his career with a job and I wish him a bright future with a healthy life, wealthy prosperity and blessed happiness forever. "Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous Rakhi," Tapti concluded.
Sanghamitra Kar: In my terms, brother is someone who always has your back. He is the one you can always turn to when you are in trouble. He is the one who tortures you the most. He is the one you're going to cherish the most in your life. This year the celebration of Raksha Bandhan will be a little different. There are so many changes that have already happened and some of the changes are going to happen. For the first time, I'm going to celebrate Raksha Bandhan being away from my home. There won't be any 'Arti Thali'. This time my brother has to tie the Rakhi by himself. These changes in tradition are mainly because I'm pursuing my career to achieve goals, dreams and happiness being far away from Raksha Bandhan without your brother.
Sephali Giri: The bond between brother and sister is really adorable. It is full of care, love, fight, tears, joy, and protectiveness, all at the same time. Raksha Bandhan means the knot of protection. In Raksha Bandhan, I put a tilak on my brother's forehead and adorn his wrist with the beautiful Rakhi. By doing this I wish a long and prosperous life for him. Whereas my brother promises to stand by my side during tough times and protect me from all ills and evils.
Subhangi Mohanty: A Rakhi is a colourful bracelet made of thread that a sister will tie around her brother's wrist. The Rakhi symbolises the protection that the brothers provide for their sisters. I feel safe knowing I have you by my side. When life throws challenges at me, you will be there. Thank you for this incredible feeling of security! Having a brother like you makes me feel safe in this world. I know I can turn to you if I need help.
Swagatika Dash: Shattering silence in the air no booming will break my fragile peace, because whenever I look into my brothers' eyes, I find fire like the summer sky. I float among those sparks with a sense of security because high on the mountain snow, my brothers are there to stop foe's flow. I find my brother in each Indian soldier and my Rakhis are not meant to remind them the issue of my protection because I know they all will not hesitate to dash against those harsh bullets to protect me and my nation, rather my Rakhis are meant for their safety. Because a sister can deal with the dark evil ages of her life but can't see her brother bleeding.
Taruniprava Nanda: Away from my home, away from my natives and far away from my sibling, it is going to be a tough year to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. My body will reside on the beautiful campus of the Central University of Orissa, but only my home can quench the thirst of my soul. The distance cannot trim the emotion, so I feel it is widely necessary for my brother's wrist to be entangled with the sacred thread. So I have sent Rakhi to my brother and it is a token of my presence to him. This is all how I will celebrate Rakhsha Bandhan this year.
A.K.P. Akshita:The word 'Raksha Bandhan' doesn't mean tying Rakhi on a brother's wrist but it reflects the bond, love, care, and protection that both share for each other not only for a single day but for the lifetime… For me, this occasion is a usual day since childhood as I don't have brothers to celebrate this occasion. But this year I am really thankful to God and fortunate enough to celebrate this as I met boy we are not related by blood but related by the bond we share and the love we have for each other. Thank you, Kanha for coming to my life and filling that void of not having a brother. The term 'brother' for me personifies the connect of being loved, protected and if you are not being connected by blood you can share a bond by connecting souls.
Yasmine Lenka: This year is going to be a super Raksha Bandhan for me especially. From the last few years I have been staying outside for further studies and I use to send the Rakhi. But this year, I'm going to celebrate it with my brothers. This year by God grace a new member is being with us and I will be celebrating this Raksha Bandhan with all my brothers it is going to be more fun. Definitely, on this day every sister wishes to God for her brother so as I wish that may God fulfill all their dreams and get all the success in their life and keep them healthy, wealthy and wise.
Lovely Samantaray: This year, I'll celebrate Raksha Bandhan in a very special way with my brother and cousin in my house, Then I'll go to my aunt's house to celebrate it with my other cousins and in the evening there is a small get together with all my siblings….. 'Rakhi' is a very special festival for all sisters, as it justifies a beautiful relationship with brothers… 'Brother' it's a god gifted thing, he always saves his sister, he always support his sister and also care for his sister … He always stands for his sister .. my brother younger to me but he plays a very vital role in my life, he supports and encourages me every time.
Anjali Mohanta: This year, Rakhi is going to be very special for me as Independence day will also to be observed on the same day. The love, care, and affection which a brother has, it can only be felt by a sister. It's easy for me to tell how my brother cares for me. "You do so much for me. I pray for you to have peace, good health, and happiness".
Monalisa Deo: The occasion is meant to celebrate the brother-sister relationship between men and women who may not be biologically related. I have eagerly waited for this moment and here it came. A small message to my brother- "We laugh and cry, we play and fight. We shared moments of happiness and sorrows, which made our bond stronger".
Suchismita Mohanty: On this day, a sister ties Rakhi around the wrist of her brother hoping for his prosperity, health, and well-being. The brother, in return, promises to protect his sister from any harm and under every circumstance and sometimes offers gifts. This year, I have planned to gift him a helmet as he is driving newly and expect a good gift too. Lastly, I want to give a message to all. "It is a ritual and a healthy confession. so, please don't make it a fashion or show off." Happy Raksha Bandhan to all of you".
Baishakhi Dash: While sisters stay busy tying Rakhis on the hands of their brothers during the festival of Raksha Bandhan, I would like to share my happiness with the Raksha Bandhan messages to our jawans. The pious occasion of Raksha Bandhan reminds me of the days when we were kids. We fought and made up easily. Those lovely days can't come back but will always stay in my heart. Missing you dear brother on this Raksha Bandhan.

Giants closer Will Smith catches Cardinals' eye; Nick Hundley's future murky
LAS VEGAS — As Day 2 of the winter meetings dawned, a trade idea emerged that would make some sense for the Giants.
Derrick Gould and Mark Saxon, two longtime Cardinals beat writers, reported St. Louis needs a back-end left-handed reliever and really likes Giants closer Will Smith. The dangle is first baseman and outfielder Jose Martinez, who is 30 but still has four years of team control.
Martinez can hit. His OPS in his two seasons with the Cardinals was a healthy .897 in 2017 and .821 last season. He batted over .300 both years and is right-handed.
There is no evidence that the teams have discussed such a deal at length. It might be more of a wish for the Cardinals, who are trying to turn Martinez into left-handed relief. But Martinez does fit one of Farhan Zaidi's important criteria: He can play multiple positions.
There is a catch. Martinez does not play those positions particularly well.https://player.megaphone.fm/SFO1862880913
The Giants' president of baseball operations articulated a desire for versatility Monday night when discussing his search for outfielders.
Recommended Video:
"If we can get a guy who plays all three outfield spots, that would be terrific," Zaidi said. "To the extent the outfield options can play the infield, even if it's just first base, that's a huge benefit."
The Giants like Smith, too. The players voted him the Willie McCovey Award winner in 2018. But he will be a free agent after 2019, which forces the Giants to consider moving him to fill other needs.
Hundley future: The desire for versatility extends to backup catching, too. Think about two of the catchers Zaidi had in Los Angeles, Austin Barnes and Kyle Farmer.
Barnes plays second and third base as well. Farmer has played first and third in his limited time with the Dodgers.
So where does that leave Nick Hundley, who just catches?
Zaidi said he remains open to re-signing Hundley. But he has not said that with great conviction. Compare that to last year, when the Giants told Hundley early in the offseason they wanted to re-sign him and waited until he explored other options.
Besides their desire for versatility, the Giants also have a younger, cheaper option in Aramis Garcia, who opened some eyes with his September performance.
Zaidi also suggested the Giants might carry three catchers. That would seem to boost Hundley's chances of returning, both as a backup catcher and a good bat off the bench to face lefties.
Hundley surely has alternatives even at 35.
One team that makes sense is the Cubs, who are looking for a leader type, the "next David Ross." Hundley certainly is that. The question is whether Hundley would go to the Midwest. He has said that at his career stage he will cherry-pick the right situation, with the ability to win and geography both considerations.
He comes from Oregon and lives in San Diego.
Buster update: Zaidi suggested Monday that Buster Posey's work in spring training and even the start of the 2019 season might be limited as he returns from major hip surgery. Manager Bruce Bochy said as much after the operation.
The good news is, Posey seems to be progressing well in his rehab.
"For now, all indications are positive that he'll be 100 percent," Zaidi said.
As reported Monday, starter Jeff Samardzija has begun a throwing program in his bid to recover from seasonlong shoulder issues. The Giants could use a healthy Samardzija, if not for their own rotation, as trade bait come midseason.
Zaidi also had a positive report on center fielder Steven Duggar, who dislocated his shoulder diving for a ball in September and underwent surgery.
Zaidi had some extensive thoughts on Duggar:
"Even before coming into the organization, I liked him as a prospect," Zaidi said. "I thought he was a tremendous draft by the Giants, really productive coming up through the minor leagues. I think unfortunately with the injury fans didn't get a chance to see what he was capable of as he was getting more comfortable and confident at the big-league level."
So, can Duggar be an everyday outfielder? Zaidi hedged some.
"I do see him as an everyday player in the long run," he said. "Whatever our outfield configuration looks like, there's certainly a possibility that if we have three left-handed bats and a couple of right-handed bats, and we're mixing and matching a little bit, (Duggar) might not be a guy who's in there literally every day.
"There might be some spots where he sits against tough lefties. That's a way to keep the entire roster and bench involved."

I Think the NFL is Shooting Itself in the Nuts
I think the NFL is shooting itself in the nuts with these anthem protests . . . One of the things I thought was problematic with the original Kaepernick protests is that they were inarticulate. He was protesting (I think) police treatment of black citizens but what does that have to do with kneeling for the national anthem at a football game? If he were leading a demonstration in front of police headquarters, there wouldn't be any ambiguity about the purpose of the protest. But kneeling for the anthem at a football game? There's no obvious connection. It requires an explanation. So people are free to supply their own explanation, like "They're protesting the anthem," "They're desecrating the flag," "They're disrespecting our men and women in uniform." And once they've supplied their own explanation, they can get angry at the NFL about it. The NFL is now trying to dumb… Read more →
Fighting Fascism With Mob Violence
Here's how different media outlets covered yesterday's Berkeley rally . . . USA Today and the Sun-Sentinel, a Florida paper, play it straight up, telling us what happened and who was responsible: Black-clad anarchists stormed the rally, fighting against hate by kicking and punching people until police intervened. Even the Washington Post, the most left-wing, anti-Trump paper in America, which recently informed readers that there is no political violence on the left, got this one right. The Daily Mail uses the same photo as USA Today but reports only that violence broke out between the two sides. If they know any more about who was responsible, they're not saying. Finally, NPR reports that scattered violence between left and right marred an otherwise peaceful protest. NPR notes that a radio host tried to protect a man he was afraid would be beaten to death by "a group of protestors." If you… Read more →

But I'm not clear on what constitutes a win with regard to the Top 1 Percent? What if we take away everything they have and leave them with nothing? Then the Top 2 Percent roll up to become the Top 1 Percent and we'd have to stage another round of protests against them, right? Why can't we just count our blessings and enjoy what we have? You think you'd be happier with a lot of money? You wouldn't. Where's the evidence? The guy making a million a year wants to make 2 million a year. The guy making 2 million wants to make 10 million. The guy making 10 million is in jail for trying to steal an extra 10 million. As Epictetus used to say, "None of these objects that men admire and set their hearts on is of any use to those who get them, though those who… Read more →

Gabriel Cohen covers a Broadway high-wire act: pit musicians who fill in for the regular performers, sometimes on 15 minutes' notice.
… Jeff Schiller, another "Kinky Boots" sub, recalled, "I got a call half an hour into a show, when a regular was experiencing incredible kidney stone pain." Luckily, Mr. Schiller, who goes by the nickname Houndog, lives near the theater district. He swapped in between numbers in the middle of Act One.

Awesome slide board perfect size for working on stride and stickhandling at the same time.
08 Jan 2018
Needs the spray. Slides great with the spray.
20 Jun 2016
great product but very overpriced
07 Jun 2016
While the online description says its good for all ages, and even though my 9yr old son has big feet, the booties were much too big. It would have been nice for the description to state what size the booties are. So now we are waiting for booties...
05 Feb 2016
Well built and easy to setup and portabilty is a plus
10 Nov 2015
The only negative was that I found the original slickness of the board to be lacking.
There were instructions included for improving the slickness (with Pledge) but I would have expected the board to be ready to go right out of the box.
I also think that the slide board should come with a can of Ultra Slide Board Polish.
13 Oct 2015
Great training aid… Periodic application of furniture spray/wipes helps for the sliding, but otherwise, ready to go! Easy assembly of stoppers and additional puck passers too.
16 Jan 2015
Good product but does require prepping with furniture polish to make it slippery.

Seeking Border Justice
This website section is intended to serve as a tool to advocate against further militarization of the country's borders. It is a part of NNIRR's initiative, Just Borders.
NNIRR has initiated Just Borders to advocate for the human rights, safety and dignity of all migrants and refugees by:
- Exposing human rights abuses & the rise in migrant deaths
- Calling for an end to racial profiling and violations of rights and due process
- Pushing for demilitarization of the border
- Ensuring community voices are present in policy affecting the region
- Advocating for international migrants' rights and rights for all at borders
* * * *
After Congress refused to allocate The funds Trump requested for new border wall construction, he declared a National Emergency on the southern border. A number of lawsuits are expected and a resolution of disapproval is being considered in the House. Click here to read the declaration.
NNIRR organized a national sign on letter to Congressional leaders opposing increased funding for immigration enforcement and the wall. Read the letter here.
UPDATE: December 2018
At year's end, the Trump Administration is holding up approval of the national budget with its demand for funding of the "border wall". The federal government will remain on official "shutdown" while Trump continues funding to fulfill his campaign promise for a wall.
In the meantime, immigration policy under the Trump Administration has expanded a "virtual wall" of deterrence, shown here in this interactive feature from the Associated Press: Trump's Virtual Wall
UPDATE: November 2018
Over 200 organizations call on Congress to reject a funding deal that will produce more militarization and wall building on the U.S. -Mexico border. Read the letter here.
UPDATE: April 2018
NNIRR sent a brief letter, co-signed by some 200 individuals, to the White House and to the governors of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, opposing the President's call to deploy National Guard troops on the border. Some 2,000 to 4,000 National Guard members are expected to be deployed to provide support to border patrol agents, who will be freed up to do direct immigration enforcement. California governor Jerry Brown opposed sending troops for immigration enforcement aims.
Read the April 2018 NNIRR letter opposing the National Guard on the border.
Read the article, Sending Troops to the Border Will Cause More Migrant Deaths, by Debbie Weingarten.
Just one year ago, 80 organizations and congregations urged members of Congress to oppose any efforts to build a wall or other barrier across the U.S.-Mexico border in a letter you can read here.
* * * *
The borders of the United States have been witnessing unprecedented militarization in recent years, building on about two decades of punitive border policies. This trend is inextricably tied to the rights of immigrants and refugees, who have been increasingly criminalized and abused as border security has intensified.
NNIRR's Board took a road trip to the South Texas Border to meet with local human rights groups and speak with migrants in detention. Read the Board's reflections on their trip here.
Rather than deterring migration into the U.S., intensification of border security has transformed American borderlands into warzones of permanent vigilance, deaths and human rights violations. During times when immigration reform is being nationally discussed, negotiated, and postponed, the idea of increasing border security seems to go unquestioned and unchallenged. Meanwhile, immigrants and refugees pay the price.
Although such occurrences are happening in all ports of entry into the United States (ACLU has reported that in fact all U.S. borders have become post-constitutional zones), we will focus on the curently most politicized and contested one: the U.S.-Mexico border. The following sections break down key aspects of the border:
Mainstream media and politicians coat discussions about immigration with the idea of a "border crisis." This conflated image immediately makes the militarization of border logical and reasonable, the border becoming a 'problem' that must be 'fixed.' But it also overlooks the history and reality of the frontier. Although brief, this section can give you a quick background to better understand the "border crisis:"
To be sure, border militarization is not new. It dates back to the early 20th century, if not earlier, and has been creeping upwards since the latest U.S.-Mexico borders were established. However, the recent tremendous spike in this trend is historically unprecedented.
This section examines the "Immigration Industrial Complex" and how corporate interests interconnect with border enforcement policies. Increasing "alliances" between private and public agents has further generated border militarization and the violation of human rights in the name of profit. Here we discuss for-profit detention centers, defense contractors, the construction of a border tech realm and corporate lobbying.
As militarization reaches new heights at the U.S.-Mexico border, migrant deaths have surged. Check out this section to learn more about this controversial site in which the basic human right to life is violated.
The Border Enforcement Accountability section reviews the role of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the border. To learn more about CBP's tactics and use of excessive force both at the border and within detention proceedings, click on the link above.
Given the current political situation, however, we have also dedicated a much-needed criticial space to the recent child refugee crisis in the United States, which is directly connected to the militarization of the border. Here you will find useful background information, data, resources and updated coverage of this extremely politicized refugee crisis.
This section provides very helpful resources and guides to understanding why the recogniton of human rights at borders is so fundamental. NNIRR has been involved in international collaboration for decades in order to adress the rights of migrants at borders. Check out the section by clicking the title above.
See UN Report on Recommended Principles for Human Rights at International Borders.
We have also compiled a list of groups currently working around the topic of border militarizaton. Although they each have a specific focus and strategy, all of work to transform the border and attain justice.
ACLU has produced a question and answer style guide to your rights in the border zone.

A man was killed when he was struck by a Long Island Rail Road train in Queens early Sunday, MTA officials said.
The unidentified man was on the tracks just east of the Woodside station when the Manhattan-bound train plowed into him around 5 a.m.
It's unclear why the man was on the tracks, officials said.
The investigation is being handled by MTA police.

We also asked our e-board members their opinions about a possible redesign of the Tribune. I'll share some of their views below as a way of encouraging you to join in the conversation.
A few readers expressed concern that bringing in an expert would cost money that could lead to an increase in subscription rates. That's certainly not our plan. We consider a redesign part of the cost of doing business.
if all goes well, a redesign will be so successful we'll attract new subscribers. If we get more readers, that attracts more advertisers, too, and increases revenue. That's the bottom-line reason for a redesign.
Quite a few readers say they like the paper as it is. While that's gratifying, that doesn't necessarily help us grow. We have to figure out how to reach people who aren't reading the newspaper while still keeping happy our loyal readers. I certainly think that's possible.
Current readers might be bothered initially by any changes, but the idea is that they would soon adjust and learn to appreciate the improvements that attract news readers. We need an outside expert to help us find this right balance.
Thank you to the readers who have helped us start to shape our design goals. Here are some comments:
Personally, I think you do an excellent job with layout and design. I wouldn't waste your money. I do wish you would keep the editorial page at the inside back page of the last section. I like to read reader comments on the editorial page. Keep Zeke N. coming—he's better than the comics.
Save money and use the ideas you get from your readers we have plenty of "experts"
I would like to see more color in the paper, I like the graphs that are with many of the articles. I like the comics and the crossword puzzles, maybe a
different game or 2. The "By the Numbers" is a neat thing. I don't think
that there needs to be a lot of changes, maybe just a sprucing up, I would
be disappointed if a lot of changes took place, keep it simple and
contained, I don't like all of the real estates and other similar sections,
maybe those could be done once a week. I think you need to keep the
Classifieds, but I just toss the other ads that I get in my paper. Also, I
have noticed that I can find an article in the newspaper and not find it on
the Internet. I find this to be a little upsetting, because I scrapbook and
like to have articles for certain events, and have to clip out the article,
instead of being able to print the article from the web-site on whatever
paper I want. Also, some of the choices of articles, have been upsetting to me. Take for example the Clay Walker Concert that was held at the Ranch in Loveland last month. The Greeley Tribune had advertisements for the concert beforehand, but there was no article about the concert aftehand. Yet, therewas a article about Nelly the week before. Granted Nelly may be bigger then Clay Walker to some people, but the people who bought tickets, possibly because of the advertisement in your paper, never heard anything about it.
That disappointed me. Anyhow, I have complained enough. I hope this helps.
Overall, I think the Greeley Tribune is fine the way that it is currently,
maybe a few touch ups.
I find the Tribune atisfactory as it is right now. I think you should save your money on the expert. You're already doing a great job!
I have always liked the tabloid-sized format for a newspaper (like the Rocky Mountain news) -you don't have to hold your arms up so high to read the bottom of the page.
Change it how you like, but don't try to charge any more for it. I hear the word "expert" and the next thing you know it won't be $8.50 a month… it will be $10! ($8.50 is already too much as it is!)
(E-board questions precede reader's comments:)
We are considering a redesign of the Tribune. To do this, we would hire anoutside expert who would work with our designers to give you a betterexperience when you read the newspaper.
As we start this process, though, we would like to hear from you:
Before I get to the questions I would like to make the comment that I findit interesting that you are requesting my opinion when I give it to youquite frequently only to have you tell me that you don't care about myopinion. The last time I offered my comments the person told me I obviously hate our paper so maybe you should just cancel your subscription!! Look it up, you must have records.
What visual elements would you like to change in the Tribune?
More color and better pic in the sports section.
What would you like to keep?
What newspaper or magazine designs do you like?
Are you talking about design only or content too?
How would you describe the Tribune's appearance now?
Average for a small town rag.
The appearance is ok, I am more concerned about the content.
How would you like it to be?
Get rid of the Horrace Greeley crap. Who cares about some dead guy who has no historical significance?
Also, hire more sports people so you can cover all the sports in this
county! As far as I can see your number one function is to cover local
sports so do it thoroughly and accurately. When that guy who does thestats prints only the stats of the teams who sent them it's such a
joke, why waste space on incomplete stats. He is a part time student who has not a clue how to get information. Spend more on salaries. You say youwant to make the paper better so do it. Spent money to make money.
Any other suggestions?
More national sports stories.
Less human interest National Inquirer type crap. Do you think people
actually like reading about stuff like that or do you print it for pr?
One thing that makes me want to spit is when you attach an ad to the side of the Sunday comics. The comics are sacred! Please don't sell them out for money.
Also, when you are writing an investigative article you should get both
sides. Don't just say "our phone call was not returned" How do you even know for sure if the person got the message? You should be more persistent.
I like the little "in color" articles on world events. They catch my eye
and I'm more likely to read them than if they were just in black and

I have VirtualBox 5.2.30 runing on a Windows 10 version 1803 PC. I have a currently-working Virtual machines, running 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04.5 (old, but that's what I need !). The disk image is a VDI file that is sized at 128GB but dynamically allocated. Currently it has an actual size of about 34.5 GB.
I want to copy it to create a new VM, then update some of the software that was added to the base Ubuntu operating system (since I don't have enough space in the VDIs to install multiple versions side-by-side). This seems, at first look, pretty straightforward stuff.
So I start from the VirtualBox Manager GUI, right-click on the VM, and select Clone (in Expert mode). I choose a unique new machine name, then Clone type = Full Clone and Snapshots - Current machine state (which BTW was powered-off with no actual snapshot files in existence).
Then I try and run the new (cloned) VM. It always fails with "FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted."
I also tried using the File -> Export Appliance and then File -> Import Appliance process (which is much slower !) but still, I got the same result.
If I do a binary comparison of the original and new VDI files, there are significant differences. I expected just to see a changed UUID embedded somewhere near the start of the file, but the changes I see are more extensive and seem to be scattered right through the new VDI file.
I have previously used these methods and NEVER had a problem. I don't know if it's something to do with being on the 5.2.30 version. I have no idea what VirtualBox version(s) I last used Clone and Export/Import Appliance. It always "just worked"
I also tried going to the Virtual Media Manager GUI, and using the Copy function from there, and then attaching that newly-copied VDI file to the new VM.
I did a comparison of VBOX file for the old and new VMs and they are the same with the exception of the UUIDs.
So I am left wondering why the resultant (copied/cloned) VDI file for the new VM is so completely different.
Any ideas ???

So 2014 was … eventful, to say the least. Hopefully, we all know about the Mike Brown case, resulting
bullshit verdict, and the still-ongoing protesting (which I 110% support btw). There were also the Hong Kong protests, the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Leelah Alcorn suicide, the cases of Eric Gardner and Tamir Rice, Jennifer Laude's murder, the kidnapping of 300 girls in Nigeria who are still missing, the Taliban attack on a school in Peshawar, Pakistan, and a fuckton of a lot more. But hey, there was a lot of positive stuff happening too. 21 states in the US got equal marriage rights, 5 other states' appeals are pending, representation of POC and LGBTQ+ people in the media has gotten a bit better… Personally, 2014 was a very mixed year for me. On one hand:
- I cut my hair
It went from this
to this
and I really really like it tbh.
- I got much gayer
- one of my sugar gliders had twins and is pregnant with another one oh god
- Florida's getting same-sex marriage on Jan. 5th and I am so. Happy. (to all of you newbies, I live in FL and this will be a very happy day)
- my drawing improved a lottt (it's still terrible though)
- my writing also improved a lot (I am ridiculously happy about this)
- I read a grand total of 46,419,341 words this year. At least, that's everything I've managed to log.
- I came out to a lot of people about my sexuality and mostly everyone's chill about it
- I came out to less people about my gender and less mostly everyone's chill about it
- I learned how to wirework, sort of:
- my best friend and I went to Metrocon and it was great:
- my family got annual passes for the Universal Studios park in Orlando and it is awesome
- I finished NaNoWriMo with 630 words over my goal
- my poetry got a hell of a lot more powerful
- I joined my school's GSA and man is it great
- I met a ton of wonderful people and learned more about a lot others
- I made these dragonscale gloves for the wonderful Andy:
- I dated my first girlfriend (she dumped me but it was a fun few months)
- Engie got me into Game of Thrones and it is wonderful
- I became much less of a terrified gay baby than I was at the beginning of this year
- I'm a QTPOC and, for the first time, I'm beginning to feel proud of it.
On the other hand:
- I found out after a loud, semipublic argument that my dad is a racist, generally xenophobic person
the Leelah Alcorn thing hit me hard tbh, and it's because I can see similarities between us
- after extensive deliberation I have concluded that my parents will probably not take my coming out well at all and have decided that I'm going to wait.
- a suicidal friend of mine disappeared for almost 2 weeks and fuck it was worrying
- I suspect I failed my geometry EOC (god that EOC was hard)
- I failed to acquire any glittery Lush bath bombs
- I got yelled at a lot whoops
- my anxiety became very not fun
- something happened between me and my best friend that shouldn't've happened and I'm kinda worried about it
There were a lot of ups and downs, and both were pretty extreme in some cases. I'm kinda scared to see what this year's got in store. But (and this is really stupid but) idk man this song summarizes my feelings about 2015.

Comparing and Contrasting the Philosophies of Nietzsche and Plato
Philosophy 100-005
Prompt 2
Final Essay
Even though they were separated by thousands of years, hundreds of miles, and different cultures, the philosophical views of Friedrich Nietzsche and Plato can be examined and weighed against each other in many different ways. Friedrich Nietzsche, born in 1844, was a German philosopher whose main goal was to erect a new image for the people and to create a free spirit in them. Plato, born in 427 B.C., was a Greek philosopher whose main goal was to create a new way of thinking about the world itself, knowledge itself, philosophy itself, and the individual. Both philosophers have obvious similarities; their literary style of writing is perhaps the most apparent, but also their desire to create a new way of thinking for the people in which they hoped to influence.
Nietzsche thought that by standing outside of society and looking at it from a different view, one could take on the ideal of a free spirit. Analogous to this view is Plato's view from the allegory of the cave which illustrates humans as being completely unaware of what the actual world is. Even though they lived in completely different societies, both philosophers thought that the view of the world that society holds shelters the individual from seeing the true nature of reality. However, the nature of said reality was very different for both philosophers. Nietzsche believed in a "what you see is what you get" kind of view of reality. His "amor fati" view of reality posed that in order to achieve an optimistic view; the individual must learn to love fate. This also involves accepting reality for exactly what it is and not creating a false sense of "reality"—what the person would "like" to see. Because of Nietzsche's opinion that 'God is dead" he believed that this life was all there was, so the best way to live was to realize the true actuality of the world, and to also use the love of what is real and actual to enjoy life. Plato, on the other hand, had a completely different concept of reality. His theory of the "forms" illustrated everything that we see in this world as just a less perfect model of the actual "form" of the thing or idea. Nothing that we see in this world is actual or perfect, but is just an imperfect imitation. Plato's divided line interpretation presents the universe into the visible realm (images, copies, plants, animals) and the intelligible realm (mathematics, ideas, and the forms); literally a two-tiered view of reality. This differs greatly from Nietzsche's philosophy. Nietzsche rejects this "two-tiered" view of reality; he believes that having this view of reality is actually detrimental and hinders the individual from living a full and optimistic life. Although their views on how the individual is shielded by society are similar, the view on reality of Nietzsche and Plato is one of the main differences in their philosophical outlooks. Nietzsche and Plato both put a considerable amount of emphasis on creating the individual and viewing life as a work of art that is a canvas for knowledge and value, thus asking the question: "What constitutes a virtuous life?" Both philosophers believe in turning ones back on the morals and values that society holds and exploring these morals and values for the individual themselves. One of the most famous Greek aphorisms is "know thyself." Nietzsche and Plato both believe that creating ourselves as individuals will lead to happiness. However, the journey of self-discovery is different for each philosopher. Plato believes that knowledge is the most important factor in the creation of virtue and happiness. Seeking after knowledge leads to the affirmation of values and virtue, which then leads to happiness. By taking the time to learn and wonder and discover understanding for ourselves, we can achieve contentment. Nietzsche, on the other hand, believes that pure academic scholarship is not the way to liberate the free-thinkers of the future. Also,...

Heidegger defines being is Dasien or standing out. Heidegger goes on to question the meaning of being in an incoherent way. The meaning of being lies in three states—catharsis, ecstasy and angst. These are primarily ego states and the meaning of being is related to processual ontology. Meaning of being is always in the state of being processed.
Heidegger connects being to time. How does time be a source of generic references? The historicity of being lies in its connectedness with temporality. All sensory phenomenon enter the realm of consciousness through time. The meaning of being, its historicity is revealed in the structure of time.
Next Heidegger makes an explication of truth. He tries to paint a picture of truth and posit it with its relationship to the meaning of being. I would like to propose a twofold dictum for truth. Truth consists of facts and emotions. Facts can be scientific, fictional, legal or medicinal, linguistic or mathematical. Emotions are bottled up in the three ego states of the mind—catharsis, angst and ecstasy. Truth is temporal and the meaning of truth changes over time.
Heidegger does not formulate and adequate answer to the meaning of metaphysics. How does being occupy a transcendent structure? The meaning of being in processed in three ego states—Catharsis, angst and ecstasy. These states of the mind become conceptual as transcendental ontology.
Next Heidegger proceeds to define art. First of all art is processual ontology. The art of being has three ego states—angst, catharsis and ecstasy. Being exists as an epic in these three states. Next definition of art lies in creation. Art can be painting, music or literature. The creator is God when she or he creates a work of art. The artist while creating attains the structure of transcendental ontology. Next definition of art lies in cognition and interpretation. When we cognize with our consciousness we are creating a structure of art. Similarly art awakens when we are in the process of interpretation.
Next I would like to interpret Heidegger's concept of Humanism. Humanism as a philosophy is defined as a concern for the human being. For me, as a philosophy, I would like to envision humanism as dialectical humanism. In the economy of wants and needs, labor is also a product and the product of labor lies in valuablelization. Dialectical humanism proposes a society to be established on the basis of justice and peace. There are no borders as nations and the world is one as a democracy. Dialectical humanism paves the way for the establishment of a single monetary currency and one world government.

In an article published March 25 regarding repurposing of a driving range in Eastham, reference is made to a scheme by the owners of the Stop & Shop chain to block competition ("No progress at former driving range," Page One).
Specifically, the article states that the supermarket chain's owners have purchased at least five properties on or near the Cape, including one in Eastham, for the purpose of placing deed restrictions on the properties to prevent them from being used for supermarkets. They apparently intend to sell the properties to recoup their costs, with deed restrictions that continue indefinitely.
The Cape is hurt by a lack of convenient access to supermarkets, leading to long drives on the Mid-Cape Highway for basic food supplies at reasonable prices. This leads to traffic congestion (which also leads to safety issues), wasted time and higher prices (from lack of competition). Towns should be aware of this anti-competitive scheme and, where possible, seek to block it in the interest of all.

One of the most tragic stories of the Konami/Kojima breakdown was that not only was Silent Hills ultimately cancelled, but P.T. was lost in the crossfire. The "playable teaser" was practically a small horror game of its own, developing its own fanbase regardless of it being part of the Silent Hill series. Unfortunately, not only was the game delisted from the PlayStation Store, but even people who had already downloaded it before couldn't re-download it either. In the aftermath, a number of efforts to develop a P.T. remake have progressed, and one is nearly done, and fully playable.
Before, the only way to get a hold of P.T. was to pay too much money for a PS4 with the game pre-installed. Now, a project simply called PT for PC is available for free, and fully playable despite not being 100% finished. The latest release was dropped over the weekend, version 0.9, and according to the developer is only missing some animations, and that makes it a "pubic length" from being completely finished. The developer is asking for playtesters to provide feedback, as well as dataminers to help them leverage the original P.T. to fill in the gaps.
The goal for PT for PC was to remake the game as faithfully as possible, and the developer has said they've had to teach themselves several things in order to get there, although some improvisation has been needed as well. By the time the finished project drops, which could be a matter of days (assuming Konami doesn't step in to get it taken down), PT for PC will also support VR for version 1.0.

AM: Two mile morning constitutional. took some time to smell the flowers.
I had a smoothie this morning for breakfast. I will share my recipe for the second time...
1 to 1.5 bananas, some frozen blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, some cranberry-pomegranite juice, two tablespoons of wheat germ, one huge scoop of Muscle Milk protein powder, a bunch of plain yogurt or Greek yogurt.
Workout this afternoon.
6 X 1 mile (on the treadmill) with 1/4 mile walk/jog interval. Splits were as follows...
5:45, 5:45, 5:45, 5:45, 5:45, 5:45
Pretty consistent.
Plus a few miles warming up and cooling down.
Thanks, What do you do with the other 1/2 a banana?
I give it to my trained monkey.
Should have guessed.
Good grief, never drink breakfast. Next thing you'll be watching Richard Simmons videos and wearing shorts with French cut sides. Oh wait...
I'm trying to get down to 119 pounds. Only 30 pounds to go.
Great workout. May have to try the recipe - Looks good.
The ability to maintain such consistent splits indicates a high level of training.
So does the 5:45 pace.

Back down in the cold of the cellar to get away from the couple of idiots that came into the pub with their Kipper literature. I tried, really really tried to be polite but their message and demeanour was repugnant to me. I tried to stay professional when I told them to bugger off, but in the end the Landlady took over and they seem to have left. You see these people see themselves as trying to get into power to me they are fascists, bigots and racists that need to be countered as much as the biffers, EDL, National Action et al. To some they are the acceptable face of the Bitish right wing movement, to me there will never be an acceptable one.
At the weekend we saw two different marches, one to stir up hatred and division, the other was to have a beer and a riot. One group succeeded the other didn't. National Action, the EDL, National Front, Combat 18 and all the other undesirables had a "National day of Action" where patriots from all over the country would converge on Dover to prove they have widespread support for their racist bigoted views. That widespread support was proved to the princely sum of 150. They were countered by probably 300 Antifa. Now I heard before the march that both sides were intent in having a fight and maybe it wouldn't be the place to visit which is what I was going to do. It was probably the wisest thing to do as before I opened reports came in of Antifa being attacked at a service station, coaches attacked and daubed with swastika's in blood.
Unfortunately the follically challanged nazi's also smashed up a coach which was taking some Russian schoolchildren to France. Well done Combat 18 well done indeed. At the riot, sorry march, the police tried to keep the two factions apart, as bricks and bottles were thrown. In the end in football parlance the score was a predictable draw, both managers claiming a win but neither came out with anything more than a shake of the head by us more liberal anti's. The right say "we gave the left a kicking" Antifa said "we gave the right a good kicking" but in the end did anything actually come of it? Did the fash change the governments mind to burn mosques, the Qu'ran or close the borders? he answer is a big fat NO. Did Antifa stop the right from marching any more, come out with the moral high ground? Again the same answer.
In Dewsbury, if you believe the biffer high command, hundreds of patriots marched through the town to protest about the Muslim takeover of this country. I looked in my crisp store and they haven't taken over that or my bar, my village or anywhere else I looked but there again I was always useless at hide and seek. I even asked Mr Khan in the corner shop if he was taking over the country but he doesn't have time as he opens early and closes late. Biffer command also said faaaasands were turned away, buses didn't stop and trains went straight through Dewsbury and didn't stop. This was countered but this time the anti's were kept from the cockwombles and no one heard the racist chants or rousing speeches apart from the 91 people there…..yes 91 not thousands. All of the biffer resources, the TV studio (chortle) the inflammatory video's (snigger) and even Uncle Jim's appearance could only muster 91 people. Once again they claim victory but this time it was definately a home win for the good guys.
This weekend in my favourite city, Birmingham, Tommy the convicted criminal, is staging the relaunch of Pegida with a silent march through Birmingham. There will be no alcohol, no chanting just a show of racist bunglecunts walking. Now I've seen evidence that the same fash from the weekend are going so silent could be violent pretty quick. Tommy says he is expecting thousands, I have 250 in the office sweepstake. At the end of the day he is walking through what possibly is the most wonderfully diverse city in Britain, where the vast majority of residents live peacefully hand in hand and this is what the right hates. Until Tommy, Goldibollocks, Weston and the kids at National action realise that the people of Britain may moan about the weather, warm beer, the state of our football team but when it comes to the right wing we don't want you.
Which brings me back to UKIP. I have a severe intolerance of them, their politics and "acceptable racism" do not enter my pub again, don't try and give my customers your literature as they will litter my floor with it. In fact no one likes the far right apart from the 250 people who marched this weekend.

I have always had a jar of Cinnamon-Sugar in my pantry. It is something that I have always had and like to have on hand. My kids like to sprinkle it on their oatmeal as well as on top of waffles. But you can use it for sprinkling on yogurt or even on top of an apple pie or anything your heart desires!
This morning the kids informed me that we were running low and that I needed to make more. So here is my recipe for perfect sweetness with just the right ratio of cinnamon.
1 cup granulated white sugar
1/4 cup cinnamon
Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, using a fork or small whisk to thoroughly blend the two together. Store in an air-tight container or old spice jar.
I use an old cinnamon container – why try to reinvent the wheel? Might as well repurpose things you already have in your home. I use a funnel to pour my Cinnamon-Sugar blend into the container. It is that simple!!

Aw, baby, I'm gonna miss you too.
I woke up hours early with that feeling I used to get on the first day of school. I laid in bed waiting, finally falling back asleep about an hour before the alarm went off. Soon after, Lucy came in with both bunnies and climbed in between C and me, and asked, 'Why are you smiling so much, Mommy?' 'Because I'm so proud of you and how big you're getting.'
My big girl is on her way to school. I reread the school handbook this morning and am again convinced that this is the right place for her to be, and so I am going to drown my sorrows in a chocolate donut and the rest of my coffee before I hunker down to work. 3:00 cannot come soon enough; I want to hear everything about everything. Strangely, I don't want to cry this morning. I want Lucy to feel the excitement that I used to feel year after year, of new school clothes and pencil cases and Elmer's School Glue and the crabapples on the sidewalk where we walked. No matter how much I felt left out or teased by my classmates, no matter how much the idea of meeting new teachers made me sick to my stomach, underneath it all was the feeling that this year anything could happen. I still get that feeling every year as August turns into September, even a decade and a half after the last time I began school, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Lucy, I hope your teachers are caring, your classmates are friendly and kind, and most of all, that you always love learning as much as you do today. Because if anyone takes that away from you? They'll have to answer to me for it.
