United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit
May 18, 2018
Carleton Harris, Plaintiff-Appellant,v.Allen County Board of Commissioners, Defendant-Appellee.
February 16, 2018
from the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division. No. 1:15-CV-217-TLS
- Theresa L. Springmann, Chief Judge.
Wood, Chief Judge, and Kanne and Rovner, Circuit Judges.
Circuit Judge.
Harris was injured while working at the Allen County Juvenile
Center. After he reached maximum medical improvement, both
his disability benefits and his employment were terminated.
Harris subsequently sued the Allen County Board of
Commissioners and the Allen Superior Court for alleged
violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("the
ADA"). The only question on appeal is whether the Board
of Commissioners was Harris's employer for the purpose of
this suit. Because Harris failed to present adequate evidence
to show that it was, the Board of Commissioners was entitled
to summary judgment. Accordingly, we affirm.
law generally authorizes juvenile courts to "establish
juvenile detention and shelter care facilities for
children." Ind. Code § 31-31-8-3(a) (2009); see
also § 31-31-8-2 (detailing the criteria for
juvenile detention facilities). If the court chooses to
establish the juvenile facility, the judge must appoint staff
and determine budgets. § 31-31-8-3(c). The county must
pay all expenses for the detention facility from the
county's general funds. § 31-31-8-3(d).
Additionally, Indiana law specifically authorizes the Allen
Superior Court to hire the juvenile facility personnel it
believes necessary, and requires that personnel "perform
duties as are prescribed by the court" and "serve
at the pleasure of the court." Ind. Code §
33-33-2-14(a), (c) (2008).
this statutory regime, the Allen Superior Court's Family
Relations Division established the Allen County Juvenile
Center (first named the Wood Youth Center). Carleton Harris
began working at the facility in 1995. His offer of
employment included the seal of the "Allen Superior
Court, " and he signed the Superior Court's Employee
Handbook, acknowledging that he entered into an employment
relationship with the Superior Court. On the other hand, the
job description for his position bore the seal of the Allen
County Board of Commissioners, and his medical records
authorization identified the "Allen County Board of
Commissioners" as his employer and the "Wood Youth
Center" as his department. During his employment,
Harris's discipline was handed down by the Superior
Court, and his job performance evaluations listed the
"Allen County Juvenile Center" as his department
with the title "Allen County Employee Performance
was promoted to the position of a Youth Care Specialist in
2003. It was in this position that he injured his back in
September 2013 after being "kicked by a large
inmate." Allen County's workers' compensation
insurance covered Harris as a Juvenile Center employee, and
it included medical treatment, temporary total disability
benefits, and permanent partial impairment benefits for his
injury. Shortly after he was injured, Harris was contacted by
a county employee, Risk Manager/Attorney Charity Murphy, who
sent him a form listing the "Allen County
Government" as his employer so that he could start
collecting workers' compensation benefits.
In May
2014, Harris saw Dr. Kevin Rahn. Dr. Rahn determined that
Harris had reached maximum medical improvement and gave
Harris work restrictions. Shortly after, Murphy told Harris
that his work restrictions prevented him from returning to
his Youth Care Specialist position at the Juvenile Center.
Murphy began working with Harris to help him find another
job. Harris applied for a full-time judicial assistant
position at the Superior Court. When he told Murphy that he
applied to that position, she told him that she was unaware
of the full-time opening. But-she told Harris-she could offer
him a part-time judicial assistant position with more money
per hour to offset the fact that the position did not come
with benefits. Harris turned the job down.
In the
meantime, the Indiana Workers' Compensation Board granted
Harris's request for an independent medical examination,
which was conducted by Dr. Robert Gregori on August 14, 2014.
Dr. Gregori reached the same conclusion as Dr. Rahn: that
Harris had reached maximum medical improvement and that he
needed permanent work restrictions.
this second diagnosis, Murphy informed Harris by an October
17 letter that the diagnosis terminated his workers'
compensation benefits and that his permanent work
restrictions prevented him from "perform[ing] the
essential functions" of his position at the Juvenile
Center, "with or without a reasonable
accommodation." (R. 52-1, Murphy Letter, at 43.) He
could not return to his position as a Youth Care Specialist.
She advised Harris that it was her "responsibility as
the [ADA] Coordinator to determine if there [we]re any other
job vacancies within Allen County Government that [Harris]
could transfer into or apply." (Id.) She
included a link to currently available jobs and told him to
let her know if he wanted to pursue any of the vacancies
because she could contact the hiring official to help him get
preference for any position for which he qualified. The
letter also stated that Harris's "unpaid leave of
absence w[ould] end on Monday, October 27, 2014, " if he
chose not to apply for any vacant positions. (Id.)
Harris applied to several jobs, but he did not obtain
October 31, 2014, Harris received a letter from Allen
County's insurance manager, informing him that he had not
paid his October insurance premium. He had made the payment,
so he called the insurance manager. She informed Harris that
he didn't need to make any further insurance payments
because he had been terminated. Shortly thereafter, Murphy
called Harris and informed him that he "did not qualify
for any of the jobs [he] applied for" and "was no
longer employed because there were no jobs within [his]
restrictions." (R. 52-1, Harris Aff., at 4.)
subsequently filed two charges of discrimination with the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in March 2015. The
Commission issued Harris a right-to-sue letter, and he
brought this ADA suit against the Allen Superior Court and
the Allen County Board of Commissioners. The Board moved for
summary judgment, and the district court granted it,
concluding that the Board was not Harris's employer so it
could not have violated the ...

Session 1.
Introduction – Getting started with an IT
Ram N Sangwan
• Computer and its Language
• Machine Language
• High Level Languages : C, C++, Dot Net, Java, PHP, Perl, Python
• Compiler and Interpreter, Source Code, Binary Executables
• Operating System – Definition and examples
• System Software – Definition and Examples
• Application Software – Definition and Examples
• Complete Development Platform – User Interface, Application program and Database.
• Multiuser platform and Distributed Databases.
• Database Management System: Flat File Data, DBMS, RDBMS.
• Application Layers : User Interface, Business Logic, Database
• A computer system is defined as combination of components designed to process data and store files.
• A computer system requires hardware, software and a user to fully function.
• input devices, output devices, processor and storage devices.
• to set of instructions that tell the hardware what to do.
• person who uses the computer for any purposes such as work, business and entertainment.
Machine Language
• Machine language programs were made up of instructions written in binary code.
◦ This is the "native" language of the computer.
◦ Each instruction had two parts: Operation code, Operand
◦ Operation code (Opcode): The command part of a computer instruction.
◦ Operand: The address of a specific location in the computer's memory.
◦ Hardware dependent: Could be performed by only one type of computer with a particular CPU.
High Level Languages
A high-level language is a programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal that enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer. (Assembly Language Instructions are called "Mnemonics")
Such languages are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages and further from machine languages.
Assembled, Compiled, or Interpreted Languages
• All programs must be translated before their instructions can be executed.
• Computer languages can be grouped according to which translation process is used to convert the instructions into binary code:
◦ Assemblers
◦ Interpreters
◦ Compilers
Assembled languages
• Assembler: a program used to translate Assembly language programs.
• Produces one line of binary code per original program statement.
◦ The entire program is assembled before the program is sent to the computer for execution.
Interpreted Languages
• Interpreter: A program used to translate high-level programs.
• Translates one line of the program into binary code at a time:
◦ An instruction is fetched from the original source code.
◦ The Interpreter checks the single instruction for errors. (If an error is found, translation and execution ceases. Otherwise…)
◦ The instruction is translated into binary code.
◦ The binary coded instruction is executed.
◦ The fetch and execute process repeats for the entire program.
Compiled languages
• Compiler: a program used to translate high-level programs.
• Translates the entire program into binary code before anything is sent to the CPU for execution.
◦ The translation process for a compiled program:
◦ First, the Compiler checks the entire program for syntax errors in the original source code.
◦ Next, it translates all of the instructions into binary code.
◦ Two versions of the same program exist: the original source code version, and the binary code version (object code).
◦ Last, the CPU attempts execution only after the programmer requests that the program be executed.
• System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer's hardware and application programs.
• If we think of the computer system as a layered model, the system software is the interface between the hardware and user applications.
• It Refers to the operating system and all utility programs that manage computer resources at a low level.
• An application is any program, or group of programs, that is designed for the end user.
• Applications software (also called end-user programs) include such things as database programs, word processors, Web browsers and spreadsheets.
Complete Development Platform
Multiuser platform – Distributed Databases
Multiuser platform
• Multi-user interface typically refers to an operating system that allows concurrent access by multiple users on the system. For example on UNIX operating systems, two users can log in to the system at the same time.
Distributed Databases
• A distributed database is a database in which portions of the database are stored in multiple physical locations and processing is distributed among multiple database nodes.
Operating System-Definition
• "An operating system, or OS, is a software program that enables the computer hardware to communicate and operate with the computer software. Without a computer operating system, a computer would be useless"
• A layer of software that manages processors, memory, disks, printers, keyboard , display, network interfaces , input/output devices and provide user programs with a simpler interface to the hardware.
Operating Systems – Important Terms
GUI – Short for Graphical User Interface, a GUI Operating System contains graphics and icons and is commonly navigated by using a computer mouse.
Multi-user – A multi-user operating system allows for multiple users to use the same computer at the same time and/or different times.
Multiprocessing – An operating system capable of supporting and utilizing more than one computer processor.
Multitasking – An operating system that is capable of allowing multiple software processes to run at the same time.
Multithreading – Operating systems that allow different parts of a software program to run concurrently.
• Goals of a database management system
◦ To provide an environment which will efficiently provide access to data in database
◦ Implement security, control in concurrency and recovery from crash.
• It is a general purpose facility for:
◦ To define database
◦ To construct database
◦ Manipulate database
Flat File Databases
• Before database management system, all the data was managed in file systems.
• A program written in high level language like COBOL used to manage and arrange the data as per the need.
• Duplication of the data can seen very easily as every program will maintain data as per the requirement.
• There will be no uniformity in maintaining the data.
• Securities at different level was very difficult to maintain.
DBMS: Definitions
• Data: are known facts which are recorded with implicit meaning
• Database : it is a collection of logically related data at one place.
• Data base management system: A software to Manage the Database
Drawbacks of file management system
• Data redundancy.
• No uniformity in the data
• All the data would have been arranged as per the need of the specific program.
• No security control.
Benefits of database Approach
• Then came DBMS (e.g. Foxpro, Foxbase, dBase III+ etc)
• One Software to manage Data and Business Logic.
• Redundancy reduced
• Inconsistency avoided
• Data is shared
• Standard were enforced
• Security was applied
• Integrity was maintained
Database Management System Architecture
More on DBMS Architecture
Database system is of three types
◦ Conceptual
◦ Physical
◦ Representational
An example of three levels
Definition of RDBMS
• Relational model
◦ Dr. E. F. Codd described the relation model in 1970
◦ He has put 12 rules describing the relational model
◦ All the RDBMS applications should follow the rules
Rules of Dr. E F codd.
• Information rule – 1
◦ Database must consist of tables to each other and data should be stored in the form of a table only.
• Guaranteed access rule – 2
◦ The data can be accessed by specifying the table name and the column name and the columns that defined the primary key . Primary key ensures that each value is unique and accessible.
• Systematic treatment of NULL values – 3
◦ A null is a unknown value and every database must have a provision for storing NULL values.
◦ NULL != nothing
◦ NULL is NULL
Rules of Dr. E F codd. (Contd.).
• Dynamic on-line catalog based on the relational model – 4
◦ In this rule it says to have user data in tables and the information about the table such as structure and other required information in tables only.
◦ One as user tables and another as metadata this metadata is what called as system catalog.
• Comprehensive sub language – 5
◦ There must be at least one language which supports data defining, view defining , manipulating data, integrity constraints.
◦ All the above should be supported with well defined syntax, as character strings.
Rules of Dr. E F codd. (Contd.).
• View updating rule – 6
◦ Should support a mechanism which designs different combinations of data from different tables called as views. All the view should be updateable.
◦ Views are virtual tables that contains extraction of data from the source tables
◦ Either it is a simple view or a complex view it should allow updates to the view.
• High level insert update and delete rule – 7
◦ Data manipulation operations treat Rows as a set. These set operations and relational operators are used to work on table.
◦ Use of insert, update and delete operations on views should act on their respective tables
Rules of Dr. E F codd. (Contd.).
• Physical data independence rule – 8
◦ Changes in the data storage should not effect programs that access the data.
• Logical data independency rule – 9
◦ The data is stored in the files physically, but tables are logical structures. So for making any changes need in logical structures there is no need of any change in the application.
• Integrity independency rule – 10
◦ Data integrity means the consistency and accuracy which keeps the garbage out of the database.
◦ Integrity constraints must be the supported functionality of any database application.
Rules of Dr. E F codd. (Contd.).
• Distribution rule – 11
◦ To the end user all the commands should be working a same as it would working for the local database even though the database is in some other place and user is accessing through network.
• Non subversion rule – 12
◦ All the constraints defined by the user using the SQL should not be bypassed by any other way.
Features of an RDBMS
• The ability to create multiple relations (tables) and enter data into them
• An interactive query language
• Retrieval of information stored in more than one table
• Provides a Catalog or Dictionary, which itself consists of tables (called system tables)
Some Important Terms
• Relation : a table
• Tuple : a row in a table
• Attribute : a Column in a table
• Degree : number of attributes
• Cardinality : number of tuples
• Primary Key : a unique identifier for the table
• Domain : a pool of values from which specific attributes of specific relations draw their values
Relations or Tables properties
• There are no duplicate rows (tuples)
• Tuples are unordered, top to bottom
• Attributes are unordered, left to right
• All attribute values are atomic ( or scalar )
• Relational databases do not allow repeating groups

Inspired by Kelly's This Is Frugal interviews, we're showcasing moms across the country. Each featured mom will answer the same 5 questions to give us a picture of motherhood, in all its miscellaneous forms. You'll also receive this badge for your own blog, if you want to let everyone know your name.
Today's featured mom is the one and only MFJ—I'm so excited you get to meet my friend Julie. She'll be a regular feature around these parts because—here's something you should know about us—we just function better together. It's like chocolate & peanut butter. Watch for upcoming posts from Julie as Fairy Tale Mom!
If you had to write a bio without including your kids or any form of the word Mom, what would it say? I am a reluctant banker looking for a way to utilize my degree. I enjoy quiet Sundays reading the paper. I LOVE pretty shoes. I prefer my grapes to be smashed and fermented, and cosmos are my favorite thing in a martini glass.
How did you get the name Mom? On December 22, 2001 I was blessed to meet Madeline. She has been calling me Mom ever since.
What is your favorite thing about being a mom? My favorite thing about being a mom is watching her face when she gets excited. There is nothing better than surprising my little girl. Her eyes light up and her smile spreads beyond her cheeks. It is amazing.
What is your biggest motherhood challenge? I think the biggest challenge for anyone is finding balance. As a Mom who works outside the home, I find that the mommy guilt makes it really hard to find that balance between being a Mom, a professional, and a person of substance. Even more difficult is finding time to be a single person of substance. It is never good to lose yourself in mommy talk on a first date.
If you could say one thing to every new mother, what would it be? I would tell all new moms a number of important things that they won't believe until much later. First, everything does not need to be sanitized and boiled just because it touched the floor. Second, you can never hold a baby too much (one day they will stop asking and you will long for those first months when you could spend hours holding the baby). And third, go out to dinner, or to a movie or somewhere. I promise that your parents or your in-laws or a trusted fellow parent can successfully watch your child for a few hours while you shower and reclaim your adulthood. Find a way to strike a balance between real grown up and new mommy.

It's a new day in a new year in the Three Rivers area of Gauley Bridge West Virginia. This is my first published image of 2018. We are creatures of the moment. It's so easy to get lost in tomorrow's plans that we miss the moment. It wasn't until I got serious about photography that I began to appreciate the here and now. The moment you are in is more precious than gold and its so easily lost to sands of time. Once it's gone it's gone and looking back means you're going to miss the next one coming. We are constantly on the edge of a moment. We can choose to stay in one place and let the moment pass or we can step on to the bridge and become a part of the moment. It's all about observation, action and choice.
Back in the 80s I read a book that implied that seeing through the eyes of God meant that one could stop time and observe patterns in past, present and future. While actually freezing the space-time continuum and casually making notes about the nature of the universe isn't actually within our grasp there is a way to enhance our perception.
I call it Rippling. When you drop a pebble into a calm pool of water it produces concentric rings. The waves travel outward in a even pattern. We're very familiar with this because of the thousands and thousands of pictures on the internet. But there's more to the event. Those ripples don't just go out. They also interact with the edge of the pool and other ripples. Eventually they form patterns that an active observer can read like a map. It's said that back in the day a Polynesian sailor could lay down in the floor of his boat and find land that was out of sight just from the pattern of waves.
We know that the ripples have a source and with practice we can learn what direction they come from and the size of the event that caused the ripples the moment is identified. Once we have mapped the event it becomes part of a larger map and so on. It becomes easier to predict the next event by the previous ripples and whether or not we want to step on the bridge and become a part of the moment.

The good days are necessary, they help bring strength for the relapse back into the void. The separation from the rest of humanity. The lonely dimension of existence. I expect happiness to last, which makes it worse. This too shall pass, this too shall all pass. It would no doubt be easier to die, but that is not of interest to me. I like living and I like what I do. It's the knowledge that this could all be easier, that life can sometimes be lived with ease. That it's different for others. But I'm not alone in this. I need to remember that. It's very important. Maybe if I eat as much chocolate as possible, the pain will subside. This could very well be the answer. No no on. Stuffing food in my mouth won't help. Sugar won't help. Diet is quite important. Depression can be fought on many plains. All plains. Every plains. Planes? Plains.
There will be no magic revelation, no super-pill, no easily resolution to my pains. There will be no stone free path. My feet will bleed every foot of the way. That is simply how it goes. That is the only way it can be.

In the latest of a series of video interviews with the teams that will participate in the upcoming FIH Hockey Olympic qualifiers, India (FIH World Ranking: 9) women's captain Rani looks ahead to her team's crucial two-game clash against USA (WR:13). The all-important matches will take place at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar on 1/2 November 2019, with timings to be confirmed in the coming weeks. The interview transcript can be found below.
The FIH Hockey Olympic qualifiers will be taking place very soon. How will your team prepare for these hugely important matches?
Rani: "We are very excited to play in front of our home crowd, and we are well prepared for these games, to play here in India. I think our crowd is also excited to see the women's team playing in front of them. In the last couple of years, the women's hockey has been growing, and in the last couple of months we have won so many tournaments. Recently we won the Tokyo Olympic test event. That gives us lots of confidence and we will carry forward that confidence into the Olympic qualifiers in Bhubaneswar. Our team is well prepared, and we are just looking forward to playing in front of the home crowd."
What can we expect to see from your team in the FIH Hockey Olympic qualifiers?
Rani: "So far [it's about] what we've changed in the training [sessions] and we just want to execute that in the Olympic qualifiers against USA, who are one of the best teams. We played them in the London World Cup [in 2018] and we played a 1-1 draw. But since then our team has improved a lot in structured hockey and in a physical way, so we will try to execute what we have [learned] in the last couple of years. We cannot beat them easily because every team wants to fight for every second to be in the Olympics."
What are your thoughts about USA, and how is your squad feeling about these matches?
Rani: "When the draw came, we knew that [we would have to play] one of four teams. Everyone is excited that, firstly, we are playing in front of the home crowd, and secondly, we are playing against the US. The US are a good team, and we will try for every second and every ball to be in the Olympics. We know it will not be easy and USA will also fight for every second. We are looking forward to playing in front of our crowd, and that may be an advantage for the Indian team."
Finally, what would qualifying for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 mean to you and your team?
Rani: "I think it is a dream for every player and every team to be in the Olympics, to represent your country and win medals for your country. It's the same for us and our team is really excited to go to the Olympics. When we played our first Olympics in 2016 it was not a really good Olympics [for us, finishing 12th], but it was a good experience for the team, and we learned a lot from that. Now we are looking forward to the qualifiers. The first step is the qualifiers, then we will move onto the Tokyo Olympics."
Each qualifier consists of two back-to-back matches which will be played in the same venue. The winners of these FIH Hockey Olympic qualifiers will qualify for the 2020 Olympic hockey tournaments which will be staged in Japan's capital city from 25 July to 7 August next year and involve 12 Men's and 12 Women's teams.

Celestron's CPC Deluxe HD telescope series of telescopes combines Celestron's redesigned CPC computerised alt-az fork mount with its innovative EdgeHD optics to provide top-of-the-line performance with unlimited versatility. Whether you are a beginner, a casual observer or are an astroimager, the CPC Deluxe HD is perfect for any application. The CPC/CPC Deluxe range is so popular it is also the telescope of choice for NASA! This telescope is the largest aperture of the CPC Deluxe HD series and has a light-gathering power of almost 90% more than the 8″ model and over 40% more than the 9.25″.
Celestron's proprietary unique EdgeHD optical design corrects for both coma and field curvature, providing aberration-free images and pinpoint stars across the largest imaging sensors and all the way to the edge of even the widest eyepieces. All EdgeHD systems include Celestron's StarBright XLT coatings on all optical surfaces for brighter images and increased light transmission. Furthermore, every EdgeHD optical tube is Fastar compatible – you simply remove the secondary mirror and attach a third party lens assembly and you're ready to image the night sky at an ultra-fast speed of f/2. You can read more about how EdgeHD outperforms competing optical systems by downloading the EdgeHD whitepaper here.
The beefy dual arm fork mount is a rigid and stable platform and firmly anchors the telescope for ultra-precise tracking. However it only weighs 32kg (~70 lbs) and includes ergonomically positioned rugged carrying handles for easy carrying and to make setup quick and easy. Each CPC Deluxe telescope also comes with a sturdy adjustable height tripod with a useful accessory tray.
The CPC HD series uses GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to automatically pinpoint your exact coordinates – no need to enter the date, time, longitude and latitude or even know the name of a single star in the sky. Simple and easy to use, the CPC with its SkyAlign sky modelling system, is up and running after locating just three celestial objects. If you are new to astronomy, you may wish to start off by using the CPC's built-in Sky Tour feature, which commands the CPC to find the most interesting objects in the sky and automatically slews to each one. Or if you are more experienced, you will appreciate the comprehensive database of over 40,000 objects, including customised lists of all the best deep-sky objects, planets and bright double stars. No matter at what level you are starting out, the CPC will unfold for you and your friends all the wonders of the Universe.
Although most altazimuth telescopes are designed primarily for visual use, the CPC Deluxe HD is for astrophotographers too! It offers all the same high-end features you'll find on Celestron's German equatorial mounts. Out of the box, your CPC Deluxe can track accurately for up to 30 seconds without adding a wedge, thanks to a re-engineered drive train with a 6-inch brass gear, stainless steel worm gear, and both steel and nylon ball bearings. For longer exposure astrophotography, then the Celestron HD Pro Wedge is needed which turns this CPC Deluxe HD telescope into an astroimager's dream setup. With the wedge, you can take advantage of the All Star Polar Alignment procedure, which has you polar aligned in just minutes. You can also train your mount to be even more accurate with Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction. Finally, your CPC tracks smoothly through the meridian without doing a meridian flip, enabling you to capture objects in the best part of the night sky.
To customise your experience under the stars, CPC Deluxe HD is compatible with all of Celestron's latest accessories. Add StarSense AutoAlign and your CPC will align itself in under 3 minutes. Or add the SkyPortal WiFi Module and control your telescope using a smartphone or tablet. You can also control the telescope using Celestron's CPWI software too.
With this much versatility, the CPC Deluxe HD is a telescope that will serve you well for years to come, no matter what you choose to do with the hobby—including astroimaging.

This time of year is always really busy for me as people are trying to get there mares in foal. I have had great success with mares who have been hard to get in foal. I have completed advanced kinesiology which allows me to access stress in the complete reproductive cycle.
- Brain – glands -hormones
- mammary glands
- ovaries
- uterus
- nutrients
- Immune system
I have found many types of imbalances the can be Mental, Emotional, Physical, Hormonal.
Mental/ emotional issues can arise from past foaling issues or can be related to mares separation from foals. The kinesiology is great to distress the brain areas so the primitive brain settles so your mare feels safe.
I few years back a lady asked me to balance a thoroughbred mare who was hard to get in foal. The mare had a lot of black type and her foals would be valuable .She had a kinesiology treatment and I found imbalances between the uterus and ovaries which I balanced using acupressure, light therapy, sound.The mare went into foal 1st time and has went on to breed since.
This was an excellent result .
After the treatment the owner told me the history of this mare . She was black type 'Saddler Wells' the mare had been sent for slaughter as she was no longer fit for breeding. Vets had worked with her to try and get her into foal with no joy, so she was wrote off.
Excess fluid in uterus has also been an issue for breeders and the immune system balance along with hormone balancing has been great for this.
I always want to find out what is the stress and how can we destress it.

November 13, 2017
The retail giant has also released its consolidated financial results for the third quarter.
Office Depot Inc. has announced it has completed the acquisition of CompuCom Systems Inc. The CEO of the office supplies retailer has described the completion of the Texas-absed IT services provider as "an important milestone […] on a longer-term journey to transform Office Depot from the traditional provider of primarily office products into a broader product and business services platform."
Gerry Smith continued: "The first step in this transformation was the strategic acquisition of CompuCom, which adds award-winning, enterprise managed workplace services capabilities to our portfolio. This acquisition was quickly followed by the launch earlier this week of BizBox, our new business services platform focused on small and medium-sized business owners. These are key building blocks to deepening our customer relationships and realizing our vision of becoming a services-driven company."
Office Depot also released its financial results for the third quarter of 2017, and they presented a somewhat negative picture for the retailer. Total sales for the quarter were $2.62billion (€2.24billion), an 8 percent drop from $2.83billion (€2.42billion) in the same period last year – consistent with an 8 percent decline in the Year To Date figures compared to 2016.
Gross profit, meanwhile, shrank from $726million (€623million) to $633million (€543million) compared to the third quarter of 2016, operating income fell from $117million ($100million) to $108million (€92million), and net income nosedived to $92million (€79million), from $193million (€165million) in the equivalent period last year.

Member Viewpoint: Sizmek discuss GDPR
Posted on: Friday 20 April 2018 | Ari Levenfeld
Share this
Ari Levenfeld, Chief Privacy Officer at Sizmek answers some key questions on GDPR ahead of 25 May.
1. What's your main priority right now in the run up to 25 May?
Some have called the GDPR the most significant regulation in the history of advertising - digital or otherwise. Companies that ready themselves for the new law may find that they have a competitive advantage over those that have chosen not to prepare and hope for the best. But our industry will succeed collectively when we help one another and share knowledge. As Sizmek has already invested heavily in our plans to align ourselves with the GDPR's requirements, we plan to spend the remaining days working with clients and partners to share what we've learned and help lend a hand with their compliance regimes.
2. What's the biggest obstacle you're currently facing?
The GDPR is unprecedented in terms of laying down requirements for data protection in Europe. So, by definition, there are not many legal examples to draw upon by those attempting to build compliance programs for their companies. Regulators are in a similar position, as they decide how to enforce this new law and provide guidance to those that must comply. The unparalleled nature of the law creates an absence of legal certainly in some cases, that makes it hard to settle on specific steps that can be taken to eliminate risk.
3. What has been your biggest learning over the last two years when it comes to GDPR implementation?
The GDPR is not the first privacy law Europe has seen. In fact, the requirement to comply with the existing ePrivacy Directive is not going away on May 25th. Instead, important definitions, such as that of consent, point to what is in the GDPR instead. So, in addition to the GDPR, companies should also be prepared to comply with member states' implementations of the ePrivacy Directive on May 25th.
4. How has the GDPR changed your company culture around data protection?
Historically, the privacy function of many companies did not receive much attention. In fact, success in our area was often measured by lack of visibility which also typically meant an absence of regulatory scrutiny. The GDPR has certainly changed that, and provided privacy professionals with the spotlight. At our company, people in literally every department are on a first name basis with me as we prepare for the new law. At times the newfound attention is confounding, but it's balanced with a general awareness for the privacy forward decisions we've made. This ultimately makes my job easier!
5. From your POV, what does/will the GDPR mean for our industry?
Accountability and transparency are two of the core themes of the GDPR. The new law requires a tremendous amount of time, effort and attention for companies as they make themselves ready in advance of the impending enforcement deadline. For those that have put in the work, the GDPR represents a real opportunity for our industry to establish trust with the public, and a chance to educate Europeans on the important role our technology plays in the digital world they make use of.

Return of Meat Free Friday urged for Britain's Catholics, but fish still on the menu
Britain's Catholics are being urged to readopt a religious custom and have a meat-free Friday. The ruling was made by the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, which met in Leeds last week.
Church leaders believe believers will welcome the move, but meat-reducers and MFMers will agree that a failure to include fish in the definition of "meat" constitutes a miss opportunity.
"What we have sought to do in this decision is to establish a shared practice, a shared habit, because habits that are carried out together are better learned and are stronger – we give each other mutual support," said Vincent Nichols, the archbishop of Westminster and head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales.
"So that's why there's a simple, across-the-board expectation that this will be something that Catholics will do."
The Catholic Church has historically seen Friday as a day of penance, setting it aside for fasting and prayer. A symbolic shared act of denial, Catholics have traditionally eaten fish on a Friday instead.
But while many are predicting an increase in sales, campaigners and environmentalists hope Britain's six million Catholics will go entirely meat-free for the day.
The rise in popularity of the Meat Free Monday message – combining a growing concern for the environment with an increasing awareness of the health issues of eating too much meat – makes this a perfect opportunity for Catholics to adopt a truly meat-free day.
The move back to a meat-free Friday will be urged from September 16, the year anniversary of a visit to Scotland and England by Pope Benedict. Vegetarian Catholics will be urged to give up another staple food.

In Spring 2016, the Salisbury office advertised for full time post-excavation assistants to help process the finds from several excavations, including the exciting Neolithic and Anglo-Saxon remains from Bulford, Wiltshire. A team of four was chosen – Rob Wheeldon, Jen Whitby, Amy Hall and Sophie Clarke. Here is a little more about them, and how they have been getting on.
My academic background is in history and working with heritage organisations in the north east, and for me, archaeology is a relatively recent and exciting change in career direction. I volunteered with the finds department at Wessex Archaeology's Sheffield office last summer, before taking up the offer of a temporary contract there as a finds technician.
I feel very privileged to have been offered a similar role at the Salisbury office. I'd worked with human remains before, processing finds from a Victorian cemetery in Halifax. Whilst we know a lot about the Victorians, how they lived and how they died, we know comparatively little about the Anglo-Saxons, which makes the Bulford project really exciting to be part of. What I have enjoyed most is listening to the various interpretations of the cemetery and grave goods. As someone coming from a historical background it's cool to feel I am on the cutting edge of current discoveries and research.
I am originally from Northamptonshire and got into archaeology after an archaeologist visited my primary school. I have a degree in Ancient History and Archaeology from the University of Wales, Lampeter, as well as a Masters in Archaeology from Oxford University. My interests are in Ancient Civilisations and I have a background of working with finds through years of volunteering as finds supervisor for my local community archaeology project, working behind the scenes at my local museum, and as a trainee for Cotswold Archaeology.
I feel very lucky joining Wessex Archaeology and have enjoyed my time so far. I have learned so much about archaeology in the South West, particularly from such a fantastic site as Bulford. This is the second opportunity I have had to handle human bone (previously a skeleton dating to the Bronze Age – Iron Age) but I was not prepared for the scale of the cemetery, despite warnings from the project manager, Simon Cleggett. It has been amazing to process the finds and to help rediscover the story of these people, such as the woman buried with the conch shell and work box, and the giant of a man buried with a spear. I have also enjoyed further developing my archive skills.
I look forward to processing the rest of the finds from Bulford; delving deeper in the past as far back as the Neolithic, and continuing to learn more about the archaeology and history of the area.
Whilst completing my archaeology degree at University of Bristol, I joined Wessex Archaeology as a weekly volunteer working in the Finds Department. This gave me the opportunity to discover an area of archaeology that I found truly fascinating and I was delighted when I was offered full-time employment. There is much to learn about the appropriate techniques for extracting artefacts from their earthly coatings and it usually calls for delicate handling and an eye for detail as they are prepared for x-ray, dating, interpretation, exhibiting and/or archive storage.
To be able to handle skilfully made objects from the past has been inspiring. The recent surprising discovery of a large Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Bulford, has resulted in an influx of human skeletons that need to be processed. We discuss how age may be determined through analysing the different bones and looking at how disease or accidents may have altered their appearance. This and associated artefacts tell us about the life and death of these people.
My interest in archaeology began with an FdSc, progressing to BSc degree level at Plymouth University. I regularly participated in excavations and voluntary projects such as the Bronze Age Boat located in Falmouth, Cornwall. I then went on to do my Master's degree at Durham University where I studied Museums and Artefacts. I learned more about the aftercare and treatment of objects after excavation, preservation techniques, politics, debates, repatriation and archaeological legislation. In 2014 I became a conservator for Longleat House. I monitored the environment and performed integrated pest management, cataloguing, archiving and participated in the overall care of the furniture and artefacts.
Everyday I find myself considering the finds from the Bulford site in a new way. So far, I have been archiving, washing and marking human bones and their associated grave goods, and I have even spotted signs of injury and disease.
As a team we regularly share our collective knowledge and we have helped each other to improve our skills, as we steadily work through our tasks.
Simon regularly discusses his different theories about the Bulford site with us, which really makes us feel involved and helps us understand the importance of what we do in order for the next stage to continue. We find that the communication between departments has made the significance of the site really strong to us; and as a result we thoroughly look forward to continuing our employment here.
Most of our training has been provided by finds supervisors, Sue (Nelson) and Erica (Macey-Bracken). We have also benefitted from talking to individual specialists such as Kirsten (Egging Dinwiddy) and Jackie (McKinley) on the human bone, and Elina (Brook), Rachael (Seager Smith) and Grace (Jones) on the pottery and other finds, and Lorrain (Higbee) about the animal bone. This has made us feel so much more involved in the team and we really feel like we are now part of Wessex Archaeology. We have been introduced to different departments so we can understand how the archaeology goes from excavation to publication. We are actively developing the necessary skills to document the finds prior to further analysis. This has also provided us with the opportunity to see the complexity and variety of archive requirements museums have before any archive deposition can take place.
Over the next few months we are expecting to develop and broaden our skills further, and work on similarly fascinating assemblages from other sites.

Apparently, the gay rights activist's stance on sexual harassment was really insightful and an Islam man who loved his contribution about the topic even went further to drop his number to have a chat with him.
After discovering his sexuality, the man later asked him not to bother that he didn't know, it was a mistake.

Every year, new methods appear as a result of the advancements of technology. Fortunately, the bright minds of the world still come up with great gifts for us all. One of the latest is CBD Hemp oil. This substance, extracted from Hemp is great to deal with pain among many other diseases. So, in case you haven't heard of this miracle worker before, here you have some factual information to brighten your mind.
Common benefits of CBD Hemp oil
Scientifics (especially doctors) have carried out studies for the past 30 years. Even though CBD was illegal to use until recently, it's been around for some time! First and foremost, doctors proved that CBD Hemp oil is very efficient as a natural painkiller. Check out more information on this here:
Furthermore, it has also shown to be useful when treating vomits during chemo as well as to reduce chronic pain. Studies on this state that that CBD has no major side effect, except whenever you take a very large dose. Even more, scientists actually believe that CBD Hemp oils have not reached their full potential. In fact, CBD oils are starting to benefit animals as well. Read more about the health benefits of taking high quality full spectrum CBD hemp oil at Cannabis Radar.
Why does CBD Hemp oils work in humans?
CBD is substance that stimulates the productions of the hormone serotonin (it blocks pain signals). Therefore, after using CBD oil, the pain, inflammation or stress will begin to banish. It is as simple as that.
Furthermore, CBD Hemp oils are not only reserved to homeopathic treatments. Several years ago, a study created a CBD mouth spray which can help people tackle arthritis' pain. Likewise, specialists proved that if you rub CBD oil on joints or any other area affected by arthritis, patients experience immediate relief.
CBD oils can actually numb nerve endings
Bone, joints and muscle pains can be quite painful. People who suffer from these issues were usually prescribed traditional painkillers. Fortunately for them, CBD oils are more effective than painkillers and for healthier. People affected by arthritis and muscle pain have to withstand inflammation in muscles and joints. Luckily, CBD oil has anti-inflammatory properties. Many patients already use CBD Hemp oil to treat rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis with excellent and long-lasting results. You can also treat cartilage's disease. In the end, CBD Hemp oils can treat pain because it can numb nerve ending completely! Plus, it renders useless serotonin. This makes it very easy for CBD Hemp oil to get you the relief that you need and crave.
CBD products are just beginning to surprise the world. So far, a couple of thousands of patients have already tried CBD products. Happily, CBD oils will continue to guarantee relief to those people under a lot of pain. Also, some countries have already let doctors prescribe it as medicine. Nevertheless, doctors still believe that more research is necessary to discover the full reach of CBD and its by-products. Even though CBD is a natural painkiller with almost inexistent side-effects, scientists feel confident that this compound can be used to do much more.

Spent some time in the last 10 days building this side project. The goal, as always, is to rank for long tail keywords regarding percentage problems (ie: what is 40% of 95).
Have submitted many sitemaps to Google, we'll see how it goes!
Would love a follow up post with your traffic and learnings.
Do the example questions rotate for link juice?
Hey Josh, the site is now getting around 1k uniques per day and is earning about $60 USD per month. Hopefully the number continue to go up!
As a reference, I launched https://unitconversion.io in November and it has over 1k users per day now (similar concept).
I rotate them for no particular reason :) They're randomly generated on page load.
nice work! Would there be a benefit in finding which of those questions are most common, and including them to get traffic from those keywords?
Thanks Josh! I think that any benefit from this sort of tactic would be minimal. On any given day, there are hundreds of pages visited on my sites that have never been seen by anyone before. Many of the pages will have one or zero views in their entire lifetime. There are maybe a few queries that have had a few hundred visits (out of 100k visits since launching the site). It's very long tail and specific queries.
ah makes sense. Glad you are thinking through the marketing! Most people just post and hope. :)
Cool project. What is the end goal of this project after it ranks for the long tail keywords?
Similarly, uninconversion.io is pretty cool as well. What is your goal with it now?
The goal is ultimately to have a lot of traffic and monetize with ads. This seems to be a lousy business model in general, but these sites are really designed to provide the most passive type of income. Goal one day would be to sell these sites to someone who has more time to look after and improve them. Also my design skills are terrible and I do literally no SEO. Someone could probably improve it.
I appreciate your response. IMHO, these sites of yours look nice and clean. I wish you best of luck on these cool projects.
Thank you!
I'm confused about the strategy of ranking on Google for this. Google does arithmetic like this natively, so users don't really have a reason to click any of the links: https://imgur.com/rNNj4Bb
Hey, I share your confusion. I can't really explain it, but I have other sites (like https://unitconversion.io) that prey on the same style of keywords (ie: what is 50cm in inches) and it get's tons of traffic. In short, I don't know why users click on the links, but they do. Maybe people are just used to navigating to websites when they use Google search and prefer it that way.
Oh that's interesting. If it works, seems like a sweet deal because there's zero maintenance work.

They arrive at work bright eyed and report that they ran five miles, swam laps for an hour or biked several miles earlier that morning. Some of them exercise regardless of how cold the weather is.
I look at them in admiration as I sip my steaming cup of coffee, trying to awaken. No, I have not joined them in these early-morning fitness pursuits.
Sometimes, I feel like a three-toed sloth, the world's slowest animal. These animals move at a top speed of 0.003 mile per hour. Well, maybe I am not quite that slow. No algae has grown on me due to lack of movement, as it does with sloths.
Of course, I am well aware of all the physical and mental benefits of physical activity. Walking strengthens our heart, and helps reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Walking helps reduce stress.
Yes, I need some special motivation to avoid being a sloth in the winter. In warmer months, I spend time outdoors working in my yard, riding a bike or going for walks. In the winter, I would be very content to hibernate with a fuzzy blanket and an ongoing supply of cocoa.
Do you have any barriers to getting exercise in the winter? Pause and think a few seconds.
Were you thinking of the obvious? Extremely cold weather definitely is a barrier to going outside. Falling on slippery sidewalks can be another barrier to fitness activities.
When the temperature gets to -20 and the sidewalks are slippery, I become a well-bundled penguin trying to seek shelter as soon as possible. When you determine your own barriers to physical activity, you can figure out solutions. Of course, you can bundle yourself in many layers and venture outdoors at least for a while. You can add slip-on "grippers" to your shoes or boots.
For people who live in areas with indoor shopping malls, "mall walking" is a great winter activity. You do not have to worry about icy sidewalks; the area is temperature controlled and attractive.
You do not need a lot of equipment. You just need a pair of properly fitting shoes. Some malls have maps that show the distance walked or brochures that get you started with a walking program.
Just watch out for the temptations at the food court. Check out the calorie information, and bring a bottle of water to keep yourself hydrated.
But what if you do not live near a shopping mall, a health club or a school with an open gym? What can you do to stay active in the winter?
- If you do not have a pedometer (step counter), give yourself a fitness gift.
Apps that can tell you how many steps you walked also are available for cellphones. Write down your steps every day. Build to 10,000 steps a day.
- Exercise to a DVD.
- Play indoor physical activity games. Go on scavenger hunts or play charades. For example, be an Olympic skater or a star basketball player.
- Turn your kitchen into a gym. Use your countertop for balance and stretching exercises. Try doing "toe stands." Stand with your legs shoulder width apart. Stand on your tiptoes for a minute. March or jog in place. Use cans of vegetables as weights; do sets of 10 arm raises or as many as you can. Take a break to dance with your cooking partner.
- Bundle up and head outdoors to cross-country ski. I plan not to be a sloth this winter. How about you?
Here's a tasty salad to enjoy during the holiday season. I brought it to a party and my serving bowl was nearly empty by the end of the meal. You can serve it on bread as a sandwich or as a main-dish salad with rolls.
Chicken (Or Turkey) and Cranberry Salad
- 1/2 c. slivered almonds
- 3/4 c. light mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. Greek seasoning
- 1/3 c. onion, diced finely
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 3 c. roasted chicken, diced or chopped (or substitute turkey)
- 2/3 c. cranberries
- 3/4 c. celery, diced
- 1/4 c. feta cheese crumbles (optional)
- Mixed greens (to line serving bowl)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Place almonds on sheet pan and bake for five to seven minutes, until lightly browned. Prepare other ingredients as directed. Mix mayonnaise, Greek seasoning, onion and lemon juice. Add remaining ingredients (except mixed greens) and gently mix. Serve immediately or chill. Serve in a bowl lined with lettuce, or make individual salads. Sprinkle with feta cheese crumbles if desired.
Makes six main-dish salad servings. Each serving has 320 calories, 17 grams (g) fat, 17 g carbohydrate, 24 g protein, 2 g fibre and 250 milligrams sodium.

To ensure that we all have enough to live on during our golden years, the IRS will penalize you for withdrawing money early from your retirement accounts – up to 10% in most cases – above and beyond the taxes you'll pay on the money you have withdrawn.
Think of it as the government's way of enticing you to save.
But sometimes, we need that money sooner than later and penalty or not, we're forced to dip into our retirement funds. Is there any way around all those extra fees?
One option is equal periodic payments from your retirement account or IRA, using the "substantially equal periodic payments" rule (SEPP). This little known rule allows you to withdraw money in equal and regular payments, at least once a year for the remainder of your life and/or your life and the life of your beneficiary.
To satisfy the criteria for this rule, you must continue receiving the payments for at least five years or until you reach age 59 ½, whichever is longer. In addition, if the payments are from a qualified retirement account other than an IRA, you can only take advantage of this exception after you've terminated your employment from the related employer.
You can also avoid the penalty if you withdraw from a qualified retirement plan (other than your IRA) as long as you are at least 55 and are no longer working for the respective employer. So, if you quit your job after you turn 55, you can freely withdraw funds from your retirement plan without worrying about extra penalties.
In addition, many companies provide an employee stock ownership plan. Employees who are eligible to be paid stock monies can take a distribution from this plan anytime and not have to pay a penalty or early distribution tax.
Also remember that if you need to use your retirement account to pay child support or alimony, you will not be penalized for withdrawals for these purposes. You can also withdraw money in order to divide your estate with your ex-spouse. To qualify, you must have a Qualified Domestic Relations Order from a court that states the money is going to an alternate person than the account holder.
And last but not least, if you contributed more money to your retirement account than you were eligible to deduct on your taxes, you can take that money back and not pay the early withdrawal penalty but you should remove the money before you file your federal income taxes.

It was always my intent to extend the deadline for the spring season, but after some thinking, I figured it made no sense to lock out the other 50 weeks of the year and potentially miss out on talented writers. So the "join the team" option is now a persistent navigation item above. With that said, the deadline for the spring season has been extended to Saturday, March 5. Two weeks is much more symmetrical than 8 days. Click the join link to apply.
Write for Rabbit Poets!
No alliteration required.
And then there were three. Say hello to…
Some of you may be familiar with this new author, as she's been a contributor to the aniblogosphere for quite a while now, but for those of you that aren't, I'd like to introduce you to Janette! Janette also runs her own blog called Black and Blue Socks, which she'll continue to run and I implore you to check out. But she'll also be moonlighting as a Rabbit Poet for at least through the spring season, covering Heroman and continuing the K-ON tradition. So if you know her, stop by to say hello. And if you don't know her, well… even more reason to stop by and introduce yourself! You can also follow Janette on twitter as blackbluesock. Welcome! –RP

Goodbye Rabbit Poets from the past. You will be missed. Sort of.
What do you want to see in a season preview post?
So Scamp's spring 2010 season preview post reminded me that it's that time of the year again. It's like clockwork. As soon as I get some distance from the previous season preview post, chartfags releases a new chart and suddenly it's time for a new season. It's a vicious cycle that will never be resolved until I can one day knock the Earth from its rotational axis.

Looking ahead to 2010
There's nothing like the end of the year to make you reflective. I had hoped to start this post off by proudly announcing that although I'd been accepted to grad school for September 2010, I still planned to continue the blog. Unfortunately, all four schools I applied to gave me the middle finger, and since I had given the middle finger to considering any safety schools, it created this whole endless eight cycle of middle fingers and left my future in flux.
Year 1 Done!

Rabbit Poets featured on AnimeBlips? Hazukashi Serifu Kinshi!
I hate talking about myself. Doing so makes me blush brighter than Hinagiku sharing a moment in an onsen. Even my "site stuff" category is very bare. In the near year I've been writing this blog, I've written a site-introspective post just 4 times. One being my standard "hello world" post, and the last one way back in February when I finally replaced the standard Atahualpa horticultural header images with something more fitting.

It's starting to look like an anime blog around here
This is a pretty long and self-aggrandizing post, so I don't know if anyone besides me is going to find this interesting, but whatever. If you like reading about people's thought processes, it should be interesting. And if not, go to the next post to see Mariya in a nurse uniform.
I finally took the time to change a couple little things that (I think) make this blog look a lot better. For a creative person with Photoshop proficiency, it probably wouldn't have taken more than a couple hours. For a non-creative person like me, with only the bare minimum Photoshop skills, it took… well, it only took a few hours, but it was chances I had to concede and the two months of thinking I had to do in advance that made it a struggle.

Watts Water Technologies, Inc. WTS reported healthy third-quarter 2019 financial results, wherein both the top line and bottom line increased on a year-over-year basis.

Net Income
On a reported basis, quarterly net income was $32.3 million or 94 cents per share, an increase of 2.5% from $31.5 million or 92 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was mainly driven by higher prices, increased productivity and reduced non-operating expenses.
Adjusted net income was $35.6 million or $1.04 per share compared with $34 million or $99 cents per share a year ago. The bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny.
Watts Water Technologies, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Watts Water Technologies, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Watts Water Technologies, Inc. Quote
On a reported basis, quarterly net sales increased 1% year over year to $394.7 million, driven by pricing actions and organic volume in the Americas and Europe. The top line lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $398 million.
Organic sales witnessed growth of 2% year over year. Regionally, organic sales in the Americas increased 3%, driven by significant growth in plumbing, heating and water quality products. Organic sales improved 1.3% in Europe owing to strength in drains business. Asia Pacific Middle East and Africa (APMEA) organic sales increased 1.2%, primarily driven by stronger sales in China, partially offset by continued softness in Korea and Middle East.
Segmental Performance
The Americas: Net sales increased 2.9% to $270.3 million from $262.7 million in the year-ago quarter, driven by incremental price and higher volume. Adjusted operating income increased 8.7% to $48.8 million.
Europe: Net sales decreased 3.3% to $107.9 million from $111.6 million in the year-ago quarter, affected by negative foreign exchange momentum. The segment's adjusted operating income was $12.1 million compared with $12.8 million in the year-ago quarter, down 5.5% as the benefits from incremental price and productivity were subdued by increased investments and costs.
APMEA: Net sales decreased 0.6% to $16.5 million from $16.6 million. Adjusted operating income came in at $1.4 million compared with $2.5 million in the prior-year quarter, driven by a significant reduction in volume, investments and sales mix.

Cash Flow & Liquidity
During the first nine months of 2019, Watts Water generated $94.9 million of net cash from operating activities compared with $66.6 million in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily driven by higher income and decrease in inventory and tax payments. As of Sep 29, 2019, the company had $173.7 million in cash and cash equivalents with $238.5 million of long-term debt (net of current portion).
Watts Water repurchased about 48,000 shares for $4.5 million during the reported quarter. It repatriated $7 million in cash during the quarter and used it to pay down revolving debt.
Going Forward
Watts Water is focused on accelerating organic growth, drive margin expansion and reinvest in growth and productivity initiatives. Adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be 28.5% for the fourth quarter. Operating cash flow and free cash flow are anticipated to improve due to normal seasonality. The acquisition of California-based manufacturing company Backflow Direct LLC is expected to cater a wide range of customers by leveraging broader product portfolio and R&D efforts. The company is also committed to enhance shareholder value and execute its balanced cash allocation strategy by driving the business organically and through acquisitions.
