Whom did these leaders 236 years ago think they were?
How could only several dozen men and women, representing 13 colonies, organize a rebellion against most powerful nation on Earth – England – and succeed?
How could a wealthy "gentleman planter" whose only military service had been in the militia 15 years ago, lead a rag-tag band of inexperienced volunteers to victory over the world's most professional army?
"Britannia rules the ocean" was the saying of the time, yet somehow the rebellious American colonies managed to maintain trade, secure support from France, and overcome other long odds to gain its independence.
An objective reading of the first-hand accounts of the American Revolution, both British and U.S., reveals that soldiers and leaders on both sides believed God intervened — for the American side – time and time again throughout the rebellion.
Here's one example: In August 1776, General Washington's forces were outnumbered 3-to-1 and had lost the battle of Long Island. Washington retreated overnight across the East River to New York City. As he and more than 8,000 soldiers and supplies rowed across the river in small boats, a thick fog enveloped the area.
Nearly a third of the troops were still in Brooklyn when dawn came. Here's a first-hand account of what happened next from Major Ben Tallmadge, a member of the Continental Army: "At this time, a very dense fog began to rise, and it seemed to settle in a peculiar manner over both encampments. I recollect this providential occurrence perfectly well. And so very dense was the atmosphere that I could scarcely discern a man at six yards' distance. We tarried until the sun had risen, but fog remained as dense as ever."
When the fog finally lifted, British General Howe found a completely empty Continental Army encampment in Brooklyn. Washington and the Continental Army had survived, and would continue to hold together and fight for Independence for the next five years. At the end of the Revolution, Washington said this: "I was but the humble agent of a favoring Heaven, whose benign influence was so often manifested in our behalf and to whom the praise of victory alone is due."
Once founded, America's greatest time of trial was its own Civil War, 1861-1865. More than 625,000 Americans – North and South – died in this horrific struggle, about the same number of U.S. military deaths in all of other wars combined. Some historians dispute which of the various causes began the conflict, but there's no doubt that by late 1862 the Civil War became a fight to end slavery and provide full equality for African-Americans.
For the first two years of the struggle, Confederate forces were victorious in many of the battles. A writer to the White House asked President Lincoln whether God was on the side of the Union. Here's a part of his reply: "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."
One could look back time and time again over the past 236 years, and repeatedly see the hand of God at work in favor of America. How has America "blessed God" in return?
* * * * *
Almost forgotten in the furor over the Affordable Care Act (federal health care, or Obamacare) is that June 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of Engle vs. Vitale, a Supreme Court decision that said it was unconstitutional to have prayer in public schools. Explain that to those in Chardon … or Virginia Tech … or Columbine High.
There will be a countless number of news media stories, Facebook posts, phone calls and conversations about America's political future between now and November 5. Perhaps some of this time and effort is being misplaced. We should – like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln – focus a bit more on our relationship with Almighty God.
Perhaps we should take some time to explore the Bible. Washington said, "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
Perhaps, as November approaches, we should examine the record of all the candidates for office and seek those whose character and ethics are of the highest quality. Perhaps, as we pause on Independence Day, we need to realize that there is a struggle going on between good and evil. There is a conflict between those who think man (humankind) is the pinnacle of everything, and those whose reliance is first and foremost upon God.
I believe The United States will become a better nation if it seeks to bless God in its attitudes and actions. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. (Proverbs 14:34)
* * * * *
I'm a bit saddened by the lack of media attention to one simple — yet important – aspect of last week's ruling. Will the U.S. health care system IMPROVE or WORSEN with this Supreme Court decision?
All too often, we forget that U.S. health care is the envy of many in the world. The most advanced medicines and treatments come from our hospitals, medical centers and laboratories, and pharmaceutical companies. No one seems to have asked the public a simple question: will we be better or worse off?
We know we'll be paying more – $1.7 trillion more over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
What are we getting for our money?

Andy Griffith's wife Cindy said it well. About Andy, she said "He is the love of my life, my constant companion, my partner, and my best friend. I cannot imagine life without Andy, but I take comfort and strength in God's grace and in the knowledge that Andy is at peace and with God."
We should all be that way.

OOPS! 'I fell in love! just by chance…
By Harsh Snehanshu
Well with almost every other student (from an engineering college, MBA college, or just about any college) writing a book/novel, it becomes very difficult for readers to make a wise choice. Reading, after all, isn't like surfing the idiot box. Bad books leave a very bad after taste, in the brain.
Thankfully so, Harsh Snehanshu's debut novel – Oops I fell in love – just by chance saved me the misery of shunning the work of "young Indian writers" yet again.
The book is more of a love story. A cute one.
A young chap from Indore, Kanav Bajaj gets admission at IIT Delhi to pursue engineering. A geek in some ways, his heart skips a beat when he first comes across Tanya, a gorgeous and smart Delhi girl. Opposites attract. And how!!!
How his life changes after falling in 'love' with this LSR girl is really cute and readable. (Wow! I've said "cute" twice already!! So unlike me.)
The story is quite humorous and the writing quite fresh.
The characters of Aryan, Anuj, Sameer, Tanya and of course Kanav are very diverse and unique. Readers will surely be able to connect with the protagonists and the situations. The use of local jargon, the mentions of technology and social media platforms makes this a very relatable read. Things that happen on campus can never be forgotten. From rising peer pressures to emotions to parental concerns to misunderstandings, the book captures it all beautifully.
It is a very simple tale of new/first love and things connected with it. But the writing style makes it quite entertaining and enjoyable.

Left-back Mal Benning says his phenomenal volley against Exeter City this evening was the best goal he's scored this season.
With the Stags leading 1-0, Benning hit an unstoppable 35-yard volley into the top corner before Ryan Tafazolli added to his own first-half strike after the hosts had scored two goals to claw themselves back into the match.
The former York City man has already scored two stunning volleys this season – a right-footed effort at Dagenham & Redbridge and a pinpoint left-footed strike at home to Newport County – but says this is his best yet.
Benning said: "I have seen it bouncing and I've thought, why not have a go? It's one of them where I have looked down and struck it, then looked up and thought 'woah!'
"When I have seen it fly into the top corner I thought it's my day and what a goal.
"I would say it is my best one, the way I connected with it was ridiculous and I haven't seen it back yet. But on first thoughts I am going to say it has topped the other two."
The left-back gave credit to his team-mates for the win, especially fellow defender Ryan Tafazolli who scored the winner with a sublime volley eight minutes from time.
"A lot of credit has got to go to the whole team for not giving in at 2-2 and then Tafs (Tafazolli) coming up with a legendary goal.
"The team spirit and team togetherness is there, we could have crumbled with players losing their heads and shouting at each other but as we are all mates off the pitch, we stayed together and got the win.
"When it went to 2-2 it would have been very easy for us to cave in, but because of the character we have had all year and the team spirit has paid dividends again."
The goalscorer also mentioned his gratitude for Stags' manager Adam Murray, who has kept faith with the full-back throughout a difficult period in his career.
"My performances have been very inconsistent if I am being honest. I have ups and downs; the first two games [after] I came back, I did alright then went through a rough patch.
"I have got to give credit to the gaffer and the coaching staff because I have had these lows before and I have been straight out the team. I only came out the team here once, but luckily I came on as a sub.
"A lot of credit has to go them for keeping faith in me, the standards I hit before my injury were some of the best in my career so hopefully I can get back to that and look ahead to next season."
Supporters will be able to view Benning's post-match interview on Stags Player HD later.

The Race for the White House Starts with Winning the Hearts, Minds, and Devices of MillennialsNov 11 2015 | 06:16 PM | 5 Mins Read | Level - Intermediate | Read Mode
Brian Ferrario Vice President Marketing, Drawbridge
Connect with Author
Brian Ferrario is VP Marketing at Drawbridge. Prior to joining Drawbridge, Brian was VP Marketing at Sociomantic, a leading programmatic advertising technology company, where he was part of the executive team that helped the company be acquired by dunnhumby, a Tesco company, the world's second largest retailer. He previously joined digital advertising technology company Rocket Fuel in 2008 as employee No. 13 and was instrumental in helping the company achieve record category growth; numerous innovation, cultural and revenue awards; and huge traction in the market that helped lead to a successful initial public offering.
The United States is home to 80 million millennials, nearly all of whom will be of voting age for the 2016 Presidential election. They comprise roughly one quarter of our voting nation, and winning their favor may very well be the key to a successful political campaign. But this young, transient, and opinionated demographic operates in a different world than the generations preceding them: a personalized digital one. Millennials use apps to order food and taxis. They swipe right to find their significant others. They work on their computers all day, keep smartphones in their pockets, and binge watch TV series on their tablets at night. They check-in, tweet, take selfies, and make purchases all day, every day.
Winning CX will come from Brands who can balance relevance, consistency and convenience to drive engagement. The kind of engagement that drives optimal customer lifetime value and real business impact.Download
They're passionate, loud, and proud. They may not stay in one physical place long, but you better believe they're active across the web. They're social creatures, influencers, and to win their vote is to win a powerful one. This isn't new. We saw the same thing unfold in 2008 when Barack Obama waged a massive digital campaign to garner viral support for his cause. The first iPhone had just hit the market. Mobile advertising took off, but was in it's infancy.
Team Obama crafted messages across social networks, broadcasted through podcasts, and catered to mobile sharing. It was a new way to campaign, and it worked. Obama won 70% of the vote among Americans under the age of 25. That's more than had ever been seen. It went down in history as "The Facebook Election" and now, seven years later, we're about to witness the next evolution in the digital revolution. In 2015, Millennials are spending over 14 hours each week on their smartphones. Nearly half access the internet more on their phone than desktop. 70% of digital users are utilizing both mobile and desktop, and still, 97% are watching TV weekly.
It's clear that a millennial's attention can be tough to get, so in this election, the candidate who best utilizes technology to deliver a coherent, seamless message across all of these channels is the one who will wake up in the White House. While this device proliferation provides multiple touch points to reach voters, and a fragmented notion of who consumers are across the devices they own, it isn't as simple as blasting every channel. The same rules apply to campaigning as they do to brands and agencies working on insertion orders – multi-channel is not the same as cross-device. Blast all their devices and run the risk of overexposure. Deliver the wrong level of messaging and turn your back on possible votes.
The key to reaching millennials without losing their favor is to utilize a cross-device strategy where 1+1=3. What does that look like? A properly implemented cross-device strategy can help candidates build a campaign that mirrors millennials' cross-device lives. For example, sequential messaging across devices can lead voters to a donation page, at the right time, building on previous messages. Global frequency caps set across a user's devices ensure young voters receive the right amount of messages, regardless of which device they were served on.
The first millennial-driven Presidential election is unfolding, and because of that, the first cross-device Presidential campaigning is at our fingertips, literally. Do it well, and candidates will win the devices of millennial voters. Ignore it, and candidates will lose an important group of voters. It's too early to tell who the frontrunners will be, but it's a safe bet the next President of the United States is building their cross-device strategy as you read. I mean, #amirite?

I love these Christian Dior boots. They are so "Motorcycle Chic". Even though the whole Motorcycle Genre does not interest me in the least and it conjures up images of men with walrus moustaches, ponytails, and American flag bandanas on their heads, I still like these boots.
I love when someone can take a boot like this and make it fashion forward and very "shopping SoHo on a Sunday afternoon" as opposed to the tragedy that is all the "Suburban moms crowding the Harley Davidson clothing/accessory stores" that seem to have cropped up everywhere.
No offense Suburban moms--but serioulsy with the Harley Davidson wear--who are you kidding? You drive a mini van and your husband has a BMW. You are fooling no one and saddening many. HA.
Have a fashionable day!

Title: Frozen ( Heart of Dread #1 )
Authors: Melissa De La Cruz, Michael Johnston
Published: September 17th 2013 by Putnam Juvenile
Type: Dystopia, Scienice Fiction, Fantasy
Hardcover, 336 pages
Summery: From New York Times bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston comes this remarkable first book in a spellbinding new series about the dawn of a new kind of magic.Welcome to New Vegas, a city once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature—freezing. But some things never change. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour hedonistic playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the casino floors, never mind the rumors about sinister sorcery in its shadows.At the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like many, she's heard of a mythical land simply called "the Blue." They say it's a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. More importantly, it's a place where Nat won't be persecuted, even if her darkest secret comes to light.But passage to the Blue is treacherous, if not impossible, and her only shot is to bet on a ragtag crew of mercenaries led by a cocky runner named Ryan Wesson to take her there. Danger and deceit await on every corner, even as Nat and Wes find themselves inexorably drawn to each other. But can true love survive the lies? Fiery hearts collide in this fantastic tale of the evil men do and the awesome power within us all.
I love the quote before the books starts it was amazing and when they used the line from Imagine Dragons song "It's Time" I giggled like a crazy person. I am obsessed with that band. I was really Pumped to read the book after that.
I really liked the Blue Blood series. I haven't finished the whole series but the ones i have read where awesome. I was really happy to Hear that Melissa was writing a dystopian books. They are my favorite type of books. To see Melissa and Micheal's P.o.v to a dystopian book was awesome. I thought they did a good job on portraying the whole concept.
The first pages called " The Voice of the Monster " was really spooky and intense. I loved it. The Beginning won me over. I just loved how the book was written. It was easy to follow. Watching these people go threw survival and struggle to get where they need to go was beautifully written and honest.
Nat has a voice in her head telling her what to do, she tried to fight it but soon she finds out how much she is connected to the voice and she most not ignore it. She escapes solitary and goes hiding in New Vegas. She is trying to find the Blue water that has known to be a myth. The word is full cold and the waters are black. Around New Vegas is just a waste land. People who have a mark have powers and are Rotting away.
Wes is a formal Marine at age sixteen He struggles to earn money for his crew. he is part of the Military Secret Division, But jobs are hard to come by. Wes and Nats lives connect when Wes is the only person and his crew that can help her to the Blue Waters. They go threw a lot of problems and struggles and even lose people on the way.
Frozen is action packed. A dystopian with a touch of romance but not to much to make the book cheesy. They book wasn't all about the romance it was so much more then that. There is a lot of twist and turns that will make your heart just stop. There was not Love triangle which i was very thankful for…at-least not yet! who knows what the 2nd book is gonna be about. I thought the whole concept and plot was interesting and different. There wasn't a dull moment in the back.. A great dystopian book i recommend it for sure.

Moving a Messy Room
Decluttering Before Moving
Perhaps, you have once found yourself in a messy room. Alternatively, you are even an owner of a messy room! Padding unorganized house before relocating can be a real sweat out. Before you relocate, cleaning such a mess is essential to avoid carrying this tangle to your new home. After all, you will want to have a fresh start in your new destination.
Many homes have messy rooms with toys, old boxes, and big shoe collections taking up half of the floor space, or any other sort of mess that you can imagine. Can you imagine having to pack a disastrous room before moving? It is difficult to figure out where to begin. When you plan to relocate, clean up your messy room before you move. Furthermore, ensure you follow the following guidelines before you pack and leave. This way your relocation will be effortless.
Consolidate your house before you Pack Up
Organize your clothes and other items into three major piles. This entails what to be kept, thrown away and donated. You do not have to be dragged down by the old junk; thus, downsizing it will be refreshing. Donating used items prior to moving makes for a new start, and it also helps those in need. Your miscellaneous items might be someone's treasure, therefore do not just throw the whole lot away. Give away used clothes, furniture, and toys to charity organizations. Do not throw away everything. For instance, your family heirlooms might be of sentimental importance to you and your loved ones. Thus, organizing a room in your new home for these valuables is vital.
Pack a Separate "Essentials" Bag
Before you move, you are likely to overlook the eminence of basics that you will require after moving in. After a tiring day, no one will need to hold a search to find your toothbrush, cosmetics, detergent, dental floss, or even the toilet paper from undisclosed boxes scattered all over the place. That is why it is vital to pack an essential bag. This carrier should have what you will require to use the first day after moving into the new home. When moving, keep this bag with you and not the movers. This way you will be prepared to spend your first night in the new house.
mark your Boxes when Packing Moving Boxes
It is very vital to label and mark them. This way you will be able to identify what is in every box without having to unpack it. Direct the Cobourg movers to place these boxes in their respective rooms. To be more organized, you can use different colored indicators to label each room category. For instance, laundry can be labeled green; kitchen can be yellow, and the bedroom blue. If you do not have colored labels, you can use colored markers to differentiate these boxes. Additionally, it can be helpful to make a list of what is in each box and attach this list to the correspondent box.
Try a Moving Apps
There are various applications that you can download to assist you in the organization of your messy room before moving. For instance, Sortly application will help you consolidate your belongings, keep a visual inventory and create different labels for each packing box. Furthermore, you can also use snap n pack moving an assistant application to come up with labels that have QR code that will identify items in each box when it is time to unpack. More applications that can help you stay organized when moving include MoveAdviser, Home move pro, the first home checklist and many more. Thus, if you are anxious about organizing your room before you relocate, remembering these steps is vital, as they simplify the process.

FOR ALL WHO SEEK poem
by Richard L. Provencher
4/06/2008 / Poetry
For All Who Seek
My ray is one of sunshine
rises above troubles, provides
comfort to those snared
by loneliness, or discouragement
I am succour to you, food
and shelter for those seekers
of truths. Perhaps I
can add strength for you, my
paintbrush of experience
erasing your woes,
colouring over failures, salving
your inner self.
My flame of hope promises
love and understanding. Both
are weapons of peace.
Richard L. Provencher 2007
Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.

To ensure that items of value are split equitably amongst heirs, or if someone is administering an estate, an Estate Valuation will need to take place.
This allows all relevant parties to settle an estate, with the primary function to represent the clients best interest, regardless of whether an executor, guardian, or law firm is settling the matter. The process for an estate valuation follows the same guidelines as the insurance valuation process.
This valuation type is for the purpose of the market and is based upon the subjective opinion of what the item may reasonably be expected to attain at public auction. The amount does not represent JVL's view regarding the insurance or replacement value and is not valid for any other purpose.
A matromonial valuation is used in the event of divorce and provides a fair current market value of an item of jewellery for the division of marital assets.
A Market valuation reports the most common price for similar quality, age and condition items in the market, they are most commonly sold and determines whether the price of an item is fair.
The Market Valuation for a private sale is based on circumstances where one wishes to sell an article privately to an individual and wants to obtain a realistic price for that article. Given there is a willing buyer/willing seller, a reasonable figure is presented to both parties concerned.
This valuation type is for the purpose of the secondary market and is based upon the subjective opinion of what the item may reasonably be expected to attain at public auction. The amount does not represent JVL's view regarding the insurance or replacement value and is not valid for any other purpose.
Valuation certificate
All valuations are presented in a professional document which incorporates everything required to accurately identify and quantify a piece of jewellery. Appraisals include a full description, size estimates and quality assessment of diamonds & coloured stones, carat assessment of gold, quality of manufacture, the value for the agreed purpose & function and a macro close-up color photograph of the item. Mainly used for insurance purposes or many different functions and purposes and/or to determine what the jewellery is worth.
Full sized valuation report, including:
- High quality digital photograph of the item;
- Statement describing the identity of the stone(s) and their shape, dimensions, and approximate weight;
- Diamond grading (cut, carat, clarity & colour);
- Description of metals in relation to their content, stampings, setting styles, design and gram weight;
- Quality analysis – based on the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) system of grading;
- Method of manufacture;
- An estimated value;
A valuation certificate, including a high definition photo, provides proof that the stolen or lost piece exists, and indicates the true value of an item and is an official record of possession
Jewellery Folio
JVL conducts a full valuation on a collection of jewellery. Including item description, diamond grading, coloured stone identification and quality assessment, digital photo, and value. This report is ideal for insurance purposes, estate, wills, probate and can be issued with complete customer information.
Updated Re-evaluation report
If you purchased a valuation directly from us.a copy of the valuation is stored in our archive for six years. Anytime during these six years, you can have the item(s) revalued at a reduced fee. We would recommend a re-valuation every two years.
Because of constantly changing gold prices, increases in international diamond prices, and a variable exchange rate, it can be hard to keep jewellery insured for the right amount. People often only discover they are under-insured when they make a claim.
At JVL Keeping The Value Of Your Jewellery Up To Date Is Easy.

Style Elements Using the Cascade
CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. It can be frustrating when working with CSS and elements are not styling correctly because there is a conflicting style lower on the cascade. Let's look at how the browser uses the cascade to determine which styles to implement.

In case you've been vacationing in the Alps this week, or hospitalized and in a coma, and you missed the season finale of The Sing-Off this past Monday, I'm here to tell you: PENTATONIX WON!!! There has been no doubt in my mind for weeks now that they are the absolute best, but musical tastes are subjective, so it was with bated breath that I watched the last few minutes of the 2 hour-long final episode (in truth, I watched all 2 hours but one need only watch the last 30 seconds to get the point), hoping to have my own opinion confirmed. And so it was.
Over the course of the season, Pentatonix consistently gave exceptionally riveting performances, with only a rare few that, while still quite good, did not completely blow me away. Excluding those few, these are my favorites, listed from extremely good to impossibly perfect:
And the mother of all, probably one of the hardest songs in all 3 seasons to sing a cappella, done so ridonculously well…
I know I've talked incessantly about this group for the past few weeks (and rightfully so) but there were a great many others who gave outstanding performances. Delilah gave not one, but two stand-out shows and the runner-up, The Dartmouth Aires, will probably be performing for us theater lovers on Broadway someday in the very near future. I'm so glad Pentatonix won, but I'm sad I no longer have their Monday night excellence to look forward to every week. 😦
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

6.15.4 gives a major for a team that has no time outs who manages to successfully call a time out. I don't see anything about them trying to call a time out and not being successful. I'm assuming that was on purpose? I just find it odd that they put other situations (like the Jammer who's not lead trying to call it off versus actually calling it off) explicitly in the rules but didn't do so for this one.

One of our favorite places to go when we go to Louisiana is in LaPlace, about twenty-five miles outside of New Orleans. A company called Cajun Pride Swamp Tours offers a unique experience that is both educational and entertaining, a tour of a swamp. This sounds like a place that you would use tons of bug spray, but one of the interesting facts that I learned on this tour is that mosquitoes do not live in the swamp.
We have taken two sets of our grandchildren on this tour so far. They have both had such a terrific time seeing the wildlife, especially the alligators. The captains of the boats which carry about 30-40 people each are very knowledgeable about all aspects of the swamp and also about Louisiana history in general. They present this information in a way that makes you think and also has you laughing at their down home humor.
We have seen lots of alligators on this tour because apparently they like marshmallows. When they hear the engines of the boat, they come out because they are waiting to be fed this treat. The highlight of the trip is when everyone is allowed to hold a baby alligator, if they want to.
So, for an experience that is different and very enjoyable, I would recommend taking this tour if you are ever in Louisiana. The website for the company is https://www.cajunprideswamptours.com

Learn About Character Creation In FFG's End Of The World
October 30, 2014 by brennon
Fantasy Flight Games are embracing The End of the World with their new role-playing game that puts YOU in the driving seat. Sure you can make characters based on whoever you'd like but how would you go about making you in a game? See some more of the details of character creation in the game here...
The game appears to draw heavily on the style of statistics you'd see in World of Darkness games with Physical, Mental and Social being the overriding groups split down into subgroups within that. During character creation you'll split your points between the various sub-groups and then the rest of your team will vote on whether or not your statistics are accurate or not - making sure you don't let that ego rise too high.
After that you'll have the chance to add both a positive and negative feature to each of your groups allowing you to customise yourself and also come up with some interesting in-game effects. As you can see in the character card above they chose 'gets hungry quickly'. I can imagine that being quite the pain for the rest of the survivors in an apocalypse.
You'll see that in his physical features the player has also got two negatives. This was because the group voted to up the players starting stat in dexterity. He would either have to forfeit his positive feature or take another negative. Essentially this balances out spending where you might have an advantage over others.
The system is simple and very succinct which I like. This opens up a lot more room (without seeing the full rules of course) for you to be very imaginative with your actions in game and pushes the emphasis onto thinking over just looking at a stat and rolling the right number to 'hit x creature for x'.
I will be interested to see more on this game!

California producer Rob Tirea's latest release, "Hold Me Like A Gun" combines the fast paced, rhythmic nature of deep house with emotionally captivating songwriting. Inspired by his experiences as a young college student, Tirea wrote "Hold Me Like A Gun" as a way to capture the delicacy of a relationship.
"Hold Me Like A Gun was about understanding the power and vulnerability of the person you hold dear in the present moment knowing that one false move can have implications on your relationships." – Rob Tirea
Growing up in Huntington Beach, California, Rob Tirea got his start as his producer when he discovered dance music. He started producing his own tracks and quickly gained recognition for tracks like "Imagine", which was supported by Nicky Romero, as well as his recent remix for Rayvon Owen, which has been played regularly by popular radio stations like 97.1 and Channel Q.

FIRST-PERSON: Ask others about themselves
WAKE FOREST, N.C. (BP) -- I can only wonder how many people I pass every day without knowing much about them.
Some of these folks are neighbors I still don't know well. Others are coworkers and students on a campus large enough that knowing everyone closely is not easy. Some are members of our local church, a three-year-old church plant.
Here's what I'm learning, however. Everybody has a story, and I'm richer if I know those stories. To get there, though, I must ask people about themselves. Here are some reasons why asking questions makes a difference:
1. It requires you to take attention off yourself. When you really want to know about others, it's hard to keep the spotlight on yourself.
2. It affirms others. Few things are as encouraging to us as someone else genuinely wanting to know about us. You'll make somebody's day better when you show that kind of interest.
3. It makes you listen. That means you may have to lay down your phone, close your computer and communicate face-to-face with undivided attention.
4. It helps you know better the people you lead. If you're a church leader, my guess is that you don't know everyone in your church at a genuinely personal level. You likely won't know them, either, until you take the initiative to ask them about themselves.
5. It moves introverts out of their comfort zone. I know it does, because I'm that introvert. Making a commitment to ask intentional questions allows me to engage in conversations with less anxiety.
6. It helps guide your praying. A generic prayer of, "God, help our church" has little comparison with, "God, please help ____________ as she seeks a new job where she can be your witness." The latter kind of detail comes only when we ask people about themselves.
7. It's a means to connect with non-believers. Evangelism is sometimes difficult because we don't know how to engage people we don't already know. Learning to ask simple questions like "Where are you from?" and "What do you do for a living?" can lead to "Do you attend church?" and "Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?"
You, too, are likely going to pass many people today -- including those whose names you know well, but whose stories you don't know at all. Slow down and learn some of their stories. You'll grow to appreciate others more and you'll pray for them with more direction and care.

Dear Flag Connections,
I love how the memorial flag case is constructed. It arrived in an excellent condition and I couldn't be happier that my grandmother is being represented in such an honorable way. She was the wife of a veteran, who fought just as hard to keep her family together when he was at war. We love her and miss her, and are glad that she will be commemorated in a distinctive, proud way.
Samantha Gooden
Dear Flag Connections,
Thank you for an easy transaction. I never thought I would have to make this purchase but fortunately you've made it easy for me in a very difficult time. The military flag case portrayed our late uncle in a dignified way during his memorial service. I love the triangle shaped flag above the display case and the great seal completes the look.

Time Marches On……
The First day of schol…er…um WEEK of school has passed. For years….well, minus two when I had to be at work and DH didn't remember the camera….we have taken pictures on the front steps as we have gone out the door for the very first day. Princess is going to hate this year's one day. Since Prince was off to his first day in high school and had to be at school 90 minutes before her, she chose to sleep in till we left. Hence the bed head and pajama tops. Hence the dark sky in the background. It was freaking EARLY! So now we have a new morning routine. I am up at 4:30am when HRH leaves for work. I answer email, write, do lesson plans, fold laundry etc. until waking the Prince at 5:30. He showers. I shower and dress, make lunches, load the dishwasher, start more laundry, etc. He dresses, gathers his school things and we are out the door at 6:45am…..after I have woken her up. While I am gone, she showers, dresses and packs her back pack. I return, after dropping him off at the high school, have breakfast with her and we leave for school. I drop her off at 8:10 am and then drive next door to my school – 45 minutes early.
I am actually liking this morning routine. It gives me some much needed one on one time with each of them and extra morning time in my classroom. When the weather changes we may have to adjust things a bit. Princess will likely have to give up her beauty sleep but she's okay with that. We found a bagel shop between the high school and middle school drive. They are doing well. HE is handling high school like a trooper. His favorite classes are Algebra II and Economics. Math??? Coulda hit me with a ton of bricks. I NEVER saw that one coming. SHE is liking being the only one at the middle school and hates Social Studies and Math. I am just melancholy for the good old days sometimes. The days we all went to the same place at the same time. This one is from first and third grade. Back when they would let ME pick out their clothes…..sigh.Explore posts in the same categories: Uncategorized

There are two common roadblocks stopping people from taking their cats to the vet:
- The assumption that cats are too self-reliant to need wellness exams
- Cats' aversion to carriers
The first step is getting rid of the dangerous mindset that cats don't need your help. They do! Because cats tend to hide their ailments when they're sick (or hide themselves altogether), wellness checks are absolutely necessary so you can catch illnesses early. By the time your kitty is showing symptoms, they've probably been sick for a long time, and a vet visit may be way overdue and more stressful. It's important to schedule your wellness exams ahead of time too, so that you can practice acclimating your cat to their carrier.
The second step to getting your cat to the vet: actually getting your cat to the vet. Dr. Jane Brunt, Executive Director, says "We know based on studies that people get stressed just thinking about taking their cat to the veterinarian. Pet cats outnumber dogs but they receive far less veterinary care. I like to call the whole concept the carrier barrier." To overcome this carrier barrier, check out 7 Tips for Getting Your Cat to the Vet to make the trip go smoothly and ensure that your cat feels comfortable in their carrier. The key is gentleness and a little bit of preparation time! And to ensure your cats' safety on the way, Sleepypod – the safest pet company! – make cozy carriers suited for any sized pet.
The CATalyst Council Thanks Royal Canin for National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day
Cats rule the internet and our hearts – but veterinary visits for cats have dropped by 30 percent since 2001. To help drive clinic visits for cats, the CATalyst Council's mission to advance the health, welfare and value of companion cats aligns perfectly with global pet food company Royal Canin on a national campaign for National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day on Monday, Aug. 22. The campaign, which will launch in mid-August, will challenge cat owners to become more curious about our cats' health. Cat owners will be asked to take a pledge to make a vet appointment for their cat this year. For every pledge taken, Royal Canin will donate a bowl of food to animal shelters across the country. Visit http://www.mypetreference.com to learn why it's important for your cat to see the vet each year. Join the conversation on August 22 by using #Cat2VetDay.

|Home | Estrella War 29 | Land Allocation | Archives
Caid & Estrella - Land Allocation
Land Allocation for Estrella War 2013 is now available. This page is specifically for Caid.
Land Allocation will be open until February 10th, 2013
Who signs up?
If you live in the Kingdom of Caid, this is your land allocation form.
How it works
Caid will be providing Land Allocation Services only for the Kingdom of Caid.
Requests for land will only be accepted from groups of 5 or more [adult] persons and you must use the links listed on this page to register for allocation. Pre-registration is not required but it is encouraged as it will save you money and can increase the amount of land your group is allocated. Land will be allocated based upon the level of your registration. Those paying full price will receive areas of 250 square feet per person, those paying the Youth price will receive areas of 125 square feet (children for whom no fees are paid will receive no land allocation). Large groups who pre-register will get an additional 250 square feet for every 10 people that have pre-registered. Geopolitical groups will get preferential treatment and an additional 500 square feet for infrastructure items such as a great hall (dining area) and fire pits, provided that at least 5 adults have pre-registered. After Geopolitical groups, Land Allocation sites for household groups are first come, first served. Groups are asked to decide upon a single, central point of contact that is empowered to speak for the group.
Please note that Caid has been allocated a finite amount of land. If the number of land requests is exceptionally high, the allowances for infrastructure may be reduced. Be advised that I receive a report on actual pre-registrations (by name) from the Estrella War Autocrats. I will be comparing pre-registered numbers against total requests. If the ratio of pre-reg to non-preregged in a particular encampment is low, I will reduce the land allocation in those camps first.
The rules are as follows:
If you have additional concerns, please contact Mistress Adelicia of Caithness at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Weekly Roundup: 8/29–9/3
This is the first of my (hopefully) weekly roundups where I post articles and events in publishing that caught my eye this week. The focus is that these are what caught my eye, so they may not be the most important stuff for anyone else.
Wordplay Podcast: Young Adult & Middle Grade Novels
Nathan Bransford (former agent, author of Jacob Wonderbar and the Cosmic Space Kapow), James Dashner (author of the Thirteenth Reality series, Maze Runner Trilogy), and J. Scott Savage (author of the Far World series and the forthcoming Grimville Case Files from HarperCollins) launched a new podcast this week called Wordplay. Their first episode was "Young Adult and Middle Grade Novels," which, given their publishing credentials, was a perfect topic for them (the episode is around 20 minutes long—I'm pretty sure they don't intend for it to become an hour-long monster 'cast).
The point they hit on that I appreciated the most was defining the idea of a middle grade sensibility. That sensibility is something I've heard a lot about, and when I read a YA book and then a middle grade book I can definitely feel the difference, but it's hard to define. They essentially said that reaching a middle grade sensibility means writing from the perspective of a young reader—the things that get noticed, the way they're interpreted, etc., should be seen like your ideal reader. This can come from channeling your inner 12-year-old (and trying to sound like them) or simply capturing the sense of wonder associated with what your ideal reader will fall in love with (they use Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as an example of a middle grade book that doesn't have a middle grade voice but still captures the middle grade sensibility). Portraying your ideal reader's interests in a way they'll appreciate is good advice no matter the age group you're writing for.
Another interesting point they hit on was whether the MG/YA distinction is going to matter quite as much as people move away from physical bookstores (where things are shelved categorically, instead of by author). Nathan mentioned that middle grade is the youngest genre that gets read up by older people; James said he has the same reader in mind when he's writing the Thirteenth Reality books (MG) and when he's writing the Maze Runner books (YA). They all think the distinctions are going to become less important for future electronic markets.
The podcast will also have special episodes every third Monday that are just for younger writers and readers (3rd through 8th grade). You can email questions or requests for content directly to email@example.com.
Writing Excuses: World Building Communications Technology
If you write in speculative fiction, you've probably already heard of Writing Excuses, the writing podcast from Brandon Sanderson, Dan Wells, Howard Tayler, and (new to this season) Mary Robinette Kowal. For episode 13 of season 6, they put out "World Building Communications Technology."
The podcast is basically an encouragement to think outside the box when you're thinking about your speculative world's communications capabilities, and they also warned against defaulting to the level of communication you're familiar with. When you're in a pre-industrial world, remember things like the semaphor, or the communication capabilities of the Great Wall of China (old war technologies are good things to look at). In Victorian England, they had mail deliveries and pickups 10 times a day—that's practically as good as email if you live close enough together.
To find inspiration for conflict in your communications, the WE crew recommended looking for failure points in your communications system (where can servers clog up, what happens during natural disasters, etc.).
Nathan Bransford: The Place for Publishers with Big-Name Authors
Nathan Bransford makes his second appearance in this week's roundup with his blog post entitled "By the Time A Self-Publisher Hits It Big, Do They Really Need a Publisher?" In the post he looks at John Locke's recent distribution deal with Simon & Schuster and questions what publishers can offer authors who have already made a name for themselves (i.e. the authors who do much of the work to make publishing a functional business). He wonders if publishers who survive the revolution will need to focus on the package of services they provide authors and instead become service providers instead of top dogs.
Janet Reid: Pitch versus query
For those of you planning to go with traditional publishing: the literary agent behind Query Shark posted about the difference between a pitch and a query—with examples. Examples really are the best way to learn this stuff.
Joe Konrath: How To Succeed
For anyone trying to be published (traditionally or on your own): self-publishing advocate Joe Konrath succinctly outlines how to succeed. My favorite line? "No one deserves to make money writing. The world doesn't owe you a living, and you aren't entitled to huge sales. You simply need to work at it, until you get lucky." I also like his answer to "What if I never get lucky?" and "Can it really take forever to be successful?" No matter what you're trying to do with your books, it takes hard work, dedication, and a lot of luck. That doesn't mean you need a lot of those things concentrated over a matter of month, or even over a few years.

The Wednesday Word prompt from Weekly Prompts, the site I share with my partner GC is Time Off.
Firstly, my sincere thanks to Gerry for writing the prompts and challenges during my time off, for taking over the day to day admin of Weekly Prompts, and, importantly, affording me the precious time to relax and enjoy my three week vacation.
Vacations – a time to de-stress, enjoy companionship and take life at one's leisure, and if you are anything like me, despite being reminded "This is not a working vacation," you might even spend part of the time indulging in a little creativity.
My Owl and Mouse comic book series has evolved, The Homecoming, the 17th in the series launches a new look, and also reverts to the original comic strip format.

Fridays™ Offers Guests Appetizer and Drink Specials ALL DAY, EVERY DAY
Carrollton, TX (RestaurantNews.com) TGI Fridays announces that happy hour, which the brand popularized 50 years ago, is officially dead. Why? Because dictating a specific time for people to get together for drinks is an outdated idea. Instead, Fridays is breaking the barriers by introducing a new line-up of food and drink features all day, every day with the launch of Happy Every Hour.
"The world does not operate on a 9-5 schedule, so we're no longer living by the old 4-7 happy hour rules," said Brian Gies, Chief Marketing Officer, TGI Fridays. "Fridays has one objective- to bring people together with an experience that makes them happy, and rules don't make anyone happy. So, bye-bye happy hour. Hello, Happy Every Hour."
Happy Every Hour removes two barriers of having a good time – not enough time and too little money. Starting this week, guests can enjoy new appetizers and drinks including Bacon-wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos, Jack Sliders™ and Boneless Wings in six new flavors – Srirarcha, Memphis BBQ, Miso, PB&J, Cider Glaze and Ghost Pepper (yes, it's that hot). Fridays is also introducing new handcrafted cocktails with fresh ingredients, like the Ultimate Blueberry-Pom Long Island Tea or Blood Orange Cooler, prepared by the best bartenders in the business. All appetizers in the promotion are only $5 with the adult beverages ranging from $3-5, all day, every day.
And of course, guests can still enjoy their favorite appetizers with Happy Every Hour, like Fridays popular Mozzarella Sticks, Spinach Florentine Flatbread and Boneless Wings in both Buffalo and Garlic Parmesan flavors – as well as scratch made cocktails and select draft beers.
Break the rules and follow your friends. Make sure you share your #HappyEveryHour fun with your friends @TGIFridays.
About TGI Fridays
In 1965, Fridays opened its first location in New York City. Today, there are over 900 restaurants in 60 countries which offer high quality, authentic American food and legendary drinks, served with genuine personal service. Bringing people together to socialize and celebrate the freeing and liberating spirit of "Friday" is the concept's founding premise, from which the brand promise "In Here, It's Always Friday®" was born.

IGM Colloquium: Direct Numerical Simulation of Drop Dynamics
The numerical prediction of two-phase flows is generally difficult
Normally a lot of simplifications and assumptions have to be made. On the other hand, a lot of two-phase flow phenomena are present in our daily life and in a lot of technical processes. In many of these processes single droplets or interactions of droplets are of great interest (e.g. injection, interaction and evaporation of fuel droplets in a rocket or car engine or a gas turbine combustion chamber, clouds formation, rain droplets, air pollution, sprays in medical applications,…). The ITLR in Stuttgart has developed over the past 20 years a CFD code named FS3D (Free Surface 3D), which is able to predict droplet interactions, droplet evaporation as well as jet instabilities by using direct numerical simulation (DNS). The computational resources needed for this approach are high, so that the code is run normally on the supercomputers in Stuttgart. Grid sizes of about several billion cells have been used already successfully.
In this lecture several different applications of FS3D will be shown after a short explanation of the basics of a direct numerical simulation. The examples range from droplet-droplet collisions, splashing, primary jet break-up to evaporating droplets and compressor fogging.
Bernhard Weigand is a Professor at the University of Stuttgart in Germany since 1999. Before, he worked at ABB Power Generation in Switzerland. Bernhard Weigand reserach interests are heat transfer, droplet dynamics and supersonic combustion. He is an author of more than 400 publications, holds about 40 patents and has written 6 books.
He is editor of the Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, of the Int. Comm. Heat Mass Transfer and an elected member of acatech (National Academy of Science and Engng.) in Germany.

Almost a week after announcing their engagement on November 27, 2017, more news about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding is starting to emerge.
It's already been confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will wed in May 2018 at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, which is the same chapel Princess Diana christened her youngest son.
According to the Sunday Times, two familiar faces will be walking down the aisle with Meghan: Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
The two pint-sized royals were recently part of their Aunt Pippa's wedding and are now reported to be given the roles of pageboy and bridesmaid at the next royal wedding.
A spokesperson for the palace told The Times: "The wedding will be a family event. You can expect the family to be involved."
There is no news yet as to what roles Prince William and Duchess Kate will play at the next royal wedding. The mom-to-be will have just given birth weeks prior to the couple's third child.

If you're a geek, and anything like me, then you tend to 'collect' old, dead and dying computers (oh, it's just me then…) 😉 But some old hardware is just beautiful and is worth doing something with (rather than just putting in a cupboard and forgetting about).
One of the most classic of computer designs was the big aluminium PowerMac G5 towers. Crafted out of brushed metal, they were an instance classic and look as good today as they did when they first came out. Although their interiors might not be exciting these days, you can still use them for some pretty special things and German designer, Klaus Geiger has done just that.
In a project called 'benchmarc', Klaus has turned the shells of G5s into computer desks, benches, tables, drawer units and bookcases.
These. Are. AWESOME!
You can find out more about the G5 'up-cycling' on Klaus's site (it's in German) and designboom.
I've got a couple of old G5s that I've picked up over the years (you can get dead ones really quite cheaply on eBay and the like!). I've currently using one as a laptop stand for my good old MacBookPro (lots of shinyness!) but I'm planning to convert them into a G5 bench now!
That's one great example of giving old tech another (and beautiful) life.
Do you know of any other great ways of using old computers and tech?

Things That You Need To Know About SEO
Search engine optimization sounds very intimidating to users new to online marketing or web design and maintenance. However, with a bit of education and research, search engine optimization can be done efficiently and effectively by anyone. Read these suggestions for a few ways to make your site stand out more in search results and improve your site traffic.
Optimizing your website for search engines will improve the profitability of your affiliate marketing programs. By focusing on certain keywords and tweaking the contents of your web pages, you can significantly improve your website's ranking on search engine results pages. This will direct more visitors to your site, increasing your own exposure and pulling in more potential customers for your affiliates.
Make URL's with easy, simple and user-friendly keywords. Visitors will have a general idea of what your page is about without even clicking. Search engines will take these pages and rank them under those keywords, thus improving your ranking and getting you closer to a top page listing.
Do not use trademarked terms and product names in your meta tags unless you have an arrangement to do so with the owners of the trademark. Trademark owners are fiercely protective of their valuable property online. They will not appreciate it if you use their terms to drive up your website's search index ranking.
Today most search engines are capable of indexing Flash content on a website, but be cautious in using it on your site. Flash content simply does not index as well or as completely as HTML. For optimal search engine ranking make sure your site relies primarily on plain HTML, and only use Flash for non-essential bonus content.
Adopt SEO style when writing. This means repeating original keywords and related one, but not in a rigid way. You can use alternative keywords or slightly change your original keywords. Make sure to include enough reference so that your content is categorized as relevant to the keywords you want it to be associated with.
Focus one one keyword per article. Many writers try to overdo it, and include several different keywords throughout their articles. This turns readers off to your work, as it becomes obvious that you are writing for the attention of a search engine or database. Using only one keyword is less noticeable, giving your readers the chance to focus on your article instead of the keywords.
Add your primary keyword phrase into the first paragraph of content. If you can add it twice, that will be even better. Make sure though that your content is still readable and user friendly and avoid making it come across as spam. If you can fit it in and still keep a good content flow then do it.
Anyone who is new to the world of search engine optimization should begin using available online research tools to identify the most useful keywords for the particular type of content for which increased visitor traffic is needed. By doing so, it will be possible to learn roughly how often searches are performed using potential combinations of words and phrases, helping narrow list of effective choices for any given topic.
Once you have chosen your key words and your pages are ready to go, get listed in the best directories. Being listed in directories is free ,and they are used by the major search engines to build their own directories. It's believed that if you get listed in the best directories, you will be highly ranked in the search engines.
To get better traffic from your site's RSS feed, use keywords there just like you would on your own page. This will help users to find your feed through search engine, which will lead to more visitors for your site. The best places to insert keywords are your feed's title and description.
If you use WordPress on your website, make sure to install the All-in-One SEO Pack add-on, and use it to it's full potential. This tool is invaluable to a blogger who wishes to increase their search engine traffic. It does a lot of the work for you, but you still need to put in the effort to fill out the text fields it provides on each post for optimized title and description.
As discussed earlier, search engine optimization does not have to be scary or intimidating regardless of how little experience you have with building or maintaining web sites. Follow the tips in this article to find ways to optimize your search engine results easily and effectively. You can improve your site's ranking in search results with just a little effort and education.

Google Android Dominates by Cheating Data ProtectionSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2014-08-04 11:18
Google-Android sacrifices users' security, privacy and data protection to scale Android fastest so that Google can dominate mobile software and advertising.
This charge and analysis is timely and relevant because Reuters is reporting that European Commission competition authorities are "laying the groundwork for a case centered on whether Google abuses the 80 percent market share of its Android mobile operating system to promote services from maps to search."
The purpose of this particular analysis is to help a user better understand how they are harmed by Google-Android's disregard for data protection.

Six Ways the FTC is AWOL on GoogleSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2014-07-16 19:01
The mounting evidence indicates the FTC is AWOL on Google.
Currently there are no less than six important Google enforcement issues that that the FTC should be investigating, but apparently is not.
In stark contrast, the EU has many serious problems with Google's >90% dominance and its persistent disregard for Europe's privacy, data protection and the right to be forgotten requirements.
An American Google enforcement vacuum stiffens the EU's resolve and adds to the need and urgency for the EC to step in to preserve the rule of law in Europe.
An absentee FTC, which is largely ignoring consumer choice, also makes it harder for the U.S. to preserve the US-EU safe harbor for the handling of personal information in the pending Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Post-Snowden, the US and EU are far apart on data protection, and a glaringly absentee FTC only exacerbates that divide.

Why Handcuff the Next EC with a Bad Five-Year Google Deal? – An Open Letter to EC CommissionersSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Tue, 2014-07-08 17:52
Dear European Commission Official,
Perversely the proposed EC-Google Settlement would restrict the next EC much more than it would restrict Google.
The special Google deal would handcuff EC President-Designate Juncker's #1 priority "to create a digital single market for consumers and businesses" and "to break down national silos… in data protection… and in competition law."
The deal would protect Google's current de facto digital single market from significant new EC digital competition for five years, because the deal would require the EC to shut down its Google search investigation for a five-year period.

Google's Privacy Rap Sheet, Dominance & Duplicity Not to Be Forgotten -- Part 41 Google Disrespect for Privacy SeriesSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2014-06-20 10:23
Please see Google's new and updated Privacy Rap Sheet here.
Google's uniquely awful privacy record makes it wish Google had its own "right to be forgotten."
And Google clearly wants the EC to forget its digital and data dominance, and its many abuses of dominance of Europe's digital and data economy, because Google knows a core enabler of its market dominance is Google's willingness to disregard privacy and data protection laws for anti-competitive first-mover advantage.
Google knows data protection rules, and requirements of consumer consent are impediments to gaining dominance -- so it simply ignores them while publicly proclaiming to respect them. Google has learned that its willingness to do what other competitors will not is an unbeatable competition advantage in the marketplace.

Open Letter to Internet Association on Broadband Utility RegulationSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Mon, 2014-05-26 22:22
Dear Executives of Internet Association Companies,
Have you thought through the global implications of your businesses' public lobbying for regulating broadband like a public telephone utility?
Possibly you are unaware that "The French government said it would push for a new European law later this year to classify Google and other Web giants like public utilities, forcing them to guarantee access to all services like phone operators. … We don't want to become a digital colony of global Internet giants" said the French Economy Minister, per Wall Street Journal reporting.
As members of the global Internet giant association, and as global companies with large majorities of your current or future revenues coming from overseas, it could be beneficial to better think through the global implications of your high-profile policy support for new broadband utility regulation in the U.S.
Google AdSense Lawsuit Spotlights the Corruption of Unaccountability -- Part 41 Google Unaccountability SeriesSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2014-05-23 17:46
What people don't know about the recent class action lawsuit filed against Google AdSense's alleged embezzlement of earned revenues from shutting down of AdSense accounts, is that this lawsuit does not depend on any of the evidence of the high-profile whistle-blower that originally brought lots of attention to this alleged AdSense embezzlement racket a few weeks ago.
Under California law, the class action only needs to show that Google wrongfully pocketed earned-revenues due to its partners under Google's own contract terms. Let the discovery begin and let the facts determine the outcome.

As children, we constantly asked questions to learn. What is this? Why is the sky blue? How does that work? We directed a constant stream of questions to our parents and adult figures in order to learn. However, as soon as we got to school all that stopped. We seemed to automatically trust the answers received from teachers, trusted leaders and those in positions of power. We no longer challenged why.
