DAVOS, Switzerland -- Over 70 countries and regions -- including the U.S., the European Union and Japan -- have agreed to create international e-commerce rules to govern the flow of data across borders, but differences with China will likely weigh down talks.
"We confirm our intention to commence World Trade Organization negotiations on trade-related aspects of electronic commerce," ministers from 76 WTO members said in a joint statement Friday after their closed-door meeting here.
"We will seek to achieve a high standard outcome that builds on existing WTO agreements and frameworks with the participation of as many WTO members as possible," the statement added.
Agreed-upon rules will be implemented as early as 2020 by participating countries.
The global market for e-commerce is forecast to approach $1 trillion in 2020 as online sales continue to grow, yet the world lacks shared rules for these transactions. Compliance with separate regulations for each country and region has become a significant burden for companies and a hindrance to expanding their operations.
The talks, set to start this summer, will focus on the international transfer of corporate and consumer data associated with e-commerce. The U.S. and Japan are pushing for free flows of information, saying companies should be allowed to bring data back home for analysis. They are also calling for governments to be banned from requesting corporate secrets.
These proposals were made with an eye toward China, which is strengthening its digital protectionism. Beijing currently bans foreign companies from transferring Chinese consumer data outside the country and forces them to disclose source codes for software. It also demands that these companies keep servers in China.
The European Union also differs from Japan and the U.S. with its emphasis on privacy protections, which culminated with the passage of its General Data Protection Regulation in May. The law essentially prevents transfers of personal data outside the bloc.
The EU had taken the lead on regulations for e-commerce and tech companies when it unveiled its digital single-market strategy in 2015.
Other topics to be discussed will include eliminating tariffs for content like movies and music, as well as promoting electronic signatures to improve the efficiency of customs work, which is piling up as online shopping becomes more prevalent.
Despite its passive reputation in international frameworks, China has also decided to participate. Its representative said Friday that the development of e-commerce is necessary for economic growth. Although Beijing is opposed to the free flow of data, "it is upbeat about simplifying customs procedures," said a source at the meeting.
China is likely aiming to be a leader in the negotiations in order to create favorable rules for itself and participate in pragmatic international arrangements. The country is home to leading e-commerce companies like Alibaba Group Holding.
With the U.S. and China competing for dominance in the digital economy, tensions have led Washington to curb the transfer of American information to foreign countries by restricting foreign mergers and acquisitions through the National Defense Authorization Act of 2018, despite the White House campaign for the free flow of data.
Rules covering the entirety of the WTO's 164 member nations and regions have not proceeded due to clashing interests between advanced and developing countries. WTO Director-General Roberto Azevedo said that while there are some rules that require the consent of all members, there are others that do not, and that starting negotiations with voluntary participants is a positive trend.
Japan suggested in late 2017 that countries desiring e-commerce rules should first find the greatest common denominator among them to move past competing interests.
The problem of dealing with cross-border e-commerce has been a recurring one for the international community. The WTO first discussed electronic commerce in 1998, debating how to tax these transactions -- an issue that touches on the sovereignty and wallets of nations.
A meeting of WTO ministers that year agreed not to tax data or digital content sent across borders. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development also agreed that year to only tax goods in the country where a transaction was made.
Roughly 20 years later, the scope of issues in the digital economy is widening to include the enclosure of information and privacy, as the importance of data beyond content increases. The concentration of data in companies like Google, the enclosure of data by countries like China, privacy protections and the free flow of data are all issues that the international community is struggling to balance.

Thinking about corruption, I came to think about a speech Vaclav Havel made in 1991 when accepting the Copenhagen University Sonning Prize for his contribution to European civilization.
Havel talks about "the diabolical temptations of power" affecting especially those who haven't held positions of political power previously. How people getting into politics for mainly idealistic reasons lose focus and stay in it for altogether different reasons.
The Ivory Coast appears to be a textbook case for this process over the last decade. In the beginning I believe Robert Guei, Laurent Gbagbo and Guillaume Soro all got into politics due to, in big part, values and ideas.
You just don't start a coup and an armed revolt that is far from certain to succeed without being a tad idealistic at least. And to be opposition leader for a long time with seemingly small chances of success against an autocratic African ruler, it's just not possible without some idealism. I'm not sure about Guei, but I have read Gbagbo's and Soro's speeches and declarations they made before they came into power, and it was easy to agree with much of it, and it looks clear that they were to a significant part driven by a desire to make the Ivory Coast a better place.
Guess the jury is still out on how Soro is dealing with becoming prime minister, but latest signs do not look to encouraging.
Anyhow, here's Vaclav Havel's acceptance speech in its entirety:
The prize I've been honored with today is usually given to intellectuals, not to politicians. I am obviously what can be called an intellectual, but at the same time, fate has determined that I find myself — literally overnight — in what is called the world of high politics.
With your permission, I would like to take advantage of my unusual experience and try to cast a critical eye of an intellectual on the phenomenon of power as I have been able to observe it so far from the inside, and especially on the nature of the temptation that power represents.
Why is it that people long for political power, and why, when they have achieved it, are they so reluctant to give it up?

The Golden Ladle is an antique cooking tool that was first seen in Kung Fu Panda Holiday. The one given this honorary utensil is tasked to prepare for the Winter Feast at the Jade Palace.[1]
The Golden Ladle appears to be made of silver, with various small jewels studded onto the handle and a decorative golden dragon entwined around it.
In Kung Fu Panda Holiday
Po was placed in charge of selecting a chef who will receive the Golden Ladle and cook for the Palace's formal Winter Feast dinner. After dismissing the chefs trying out, Po presented the ladle to his father, Mr. Ping, who ultimately refused it and the job to be available at his own restaurant on the holiday. In the end, Wo Hop was given the Golden Ladle by Po in gratitude for his culinary assistance in preparing for the feast. The delighted rabbit chef declared that his honor and the honor of his village had been restored after accepting the prestigious gift.

De Jager: Doubles vital
- Updated: July 9, 2011
South African team captain John-Laffnie de Jager said the doubles encounter on Saturday will be crucial in determining the outcome of their Euro-Africa Group One Davis Cup tie against the Netherlands in Potchefstroom.
ÔÇ£If you look at Davis Cup ties, the majority are won by the side that wins doubles," De Jager told Sapa. "Saturday's doubles will be key for us.ÔÇØ
Kevin Anderson levelled the singles with his victory in four sets over Dutchman Thomas Schoorel after Rik de Voest lost his earlier match against Robin Haase, also in four sets.
ÔÇ£We just have to focus on our team. Saturday is a big day and going into Sunday, either 2-1 down or up, is going to be huge for us,ÔÇØ De Jager said.
In De Voest's match, a set up and serving for a 3-1 lead in the second set, Haase broke his serve and began to turn the match. ÔÇ£Rik being up a set and a break, and five game points to go up three one ÔÇô Haase was actually losing it a little bit," said the captain.
"It's amazing how one game can change a whole match. He (Haase) got more confidence and started playing more aggressively,ÔÇØ explained De Jager.
Haase beat De Voest in four sets and it meant Anderson had to win his match against Schoorel to draw level with the Dutch.
ÔÇ£I haven't really played against a guy who hit the ball that hard from the baseline consistently,ÔÇØ said Anderson.
ÔÇ£I felt that, over time, if I just took care of my own service games and making more returns (on Schoorel's serve) I would start making inroads.ÔÇØ
With the third set going to a tiebreak , at a set a piece, Anderson said winning the breaker was the turning point.
ÔÇ£That was a big stage of the match and, having won that, it really allowed me to step up and control the match in the fourth.ÔÇØ
De Jager always felt that Anderson would be too strong for Schoorel. ÔÇ£I knew this guy was going to come out going for everything, and in that first set he was coming off but I knew Kevin would be able reel him in,ÔÇØ said De Jager.
ÔÇ£I said to Kevin, 'stay with it, keep your serve and create opportunities because at some stage he's going to start missing'.
"I just felt that if he could play like that over five sets, then I'd take my hat off to him but mentally I knew that Kevin would be too strong for him,ÔÇØ he said.
The South African captain would not confirm who would partner Wesley Moodie in the doubles. Izak van der Merwe is listed in the draw but the captain is permitted to make a change to the team up to an hour before the match starts.
Moodie said he expected Haase to be a certainty in the doubles even though he was not initially pencilled in for the doubles.
Dutch captain Jan Siemerink hinted that, with Haase playing well on Friday, he would likely play in the doubles match while Jesse Huta Galung and Igor Sijsling were the two players nominated at the draw on Thursday.

Mind-blowing parents
All it takes is a few words from your parents to blow your mind.
As you age, the more you realize you wished you talked and listened to your parents more often.
First, at breakfast, I was talking my parents about my resent deep thoughts of space, and how incredible it is.
My mom counters with, "It's not the outer space that makes me think, it's the inner space. Maybe we're just riding in the blood of a larger being."
"Yea, and he'll have a heart attack and we'll shoot way up his arm!" interjects my dad.
Sure, space is infinite, but so too, in a way is in. It's like that Power of Ten movie.
Later, at an art show, my dad and I are looking at a sketch of a tree.
He then tells me there's a tree that he's watched on the side of the high way since he moved to Grand Rapids 25 years ago.
"It was the most perfect young tree. Like perfect. As the years have gone by, it's grown up, and aged. Now it looks just horrible.
"Like an old person."
The wise bits seem so sweet now, compared to when you're young and they come off as bitter.
There's a chart somewhere on the internet that shows the different ages of relationships with parents, and it's so true. Though, I like to think my relationship with my dad skirted that.
Then I think about the time freshman year of high school, when my dad told me to call him for a ride if I ever drank. He was drinking at a party at the time.
"I won't be mad, I'll be happy you called.
In your mind, you think, 'Ha, of course he'll be mad.'
But you look back on it, and you know he wouldn't have been.
I'm making a huge effort now to spend as much time with my parents as possible now.
It won't last forever. You have to spend the time you can listening to the people you love and care about.
That's how you can make the most of life.

You probably won't be thinking about retirement for many years, but think about this: The Guard can continue to pay you every month if you have 20 years of service while serving in the Guard when you reach age 60 (including service in other branches). And considering that retirement will probably mean time to travel, play or even start your own business, financial security would be a nice part of your plan.
And it's a pretty simple plan. If you complete a standard part-time term in the Guard by age 60, you could be eligible to receive monthly payments* based on serving one weekend per month plus an additional 15 days per year, for 20 years.
This is on top of any benefits from your civilian career. You'll still receive those and any other retirement funds you may have coming. So, you can see how it all adds up. Serving part time in the National Guard is like money in the bank.
*Payment amounts and terms vary. To discuss retirement in greater detail, contact your local recruiter.
Note: Army National Guard programs and benefits are subject to change.
For the latest information, please contact your local recruiter.
For young people just getting their careers off the ground, saving for retirement can often feel like an exercise in futility. Find out why planing your retirement at a young age is so important.

About Katu Kat
welp. what a sour return to a game. nvm then...
Can mods explain the lack of premium then plz? Or an explanation on when it will be fixed?
I tried BnS agian but I can't sorry
Katu Kat replied to CrazyAmber's topic in General DiscussionFell* which one you fell into. As by your own logic, you'd have to be in one of those categories you mentioned during any given time one is interested in the game.
Engine/Client Update
Katu Kat replied to YungBlaze's topic in General DiscussionTo change the engine is to redo/discard most of assets it currently uses. To change the engine to one that will perform better will cost a lot of time and money. Wont happen. It can happen, but it wont. It wont because its not financially profitable to do so. For those chomping at the bits after reading the first paragraph; I am not defending the dev/publisher's stance nor am I justifying it, nor am I being pessimistic. Just telling it as it is. As a player of the game you either deal with it, you try to find ways to mitigate the problem however you can, or you move on from the game. Three choices to choose from. Why just those three choices? Again, they cannot optimize the engine, because it cannot get any better, because they used the wrong engine for this type of game to begin with. Again, they will not change the engine because it would affect their financials badly, at this point it would be building something from the ground up/redoing groundwork(assets etc) which takes time or getting a licence for a streamlined engine(say for example frostbite), which will cost more.
Show me, where? Where can you find it in adrenalin driver version 18.2.1(which is what op said their driver version is) or 18.2.2, which is the driver I'm using currently? I've checked that before and its not there, at best you will get it on OLDER driver versions, which obviously isn't the driver OP is using. So tell or show the thread starter, where they can find CCC for radeon 18.2.1. Because its not there. It literally doesn't exist for that version of driver.
You cannot test the option you initially proposed "aa level off" because it doesnt exist on the drivers the op has, see I paid attention to *all* the details. You keep harping on about catalyst when catalyst is dead(to the op at least) As for x2, you get a performance increase from using x8 or w.e., but as I also said, many times before, I've tried that setting and the performance is still worse compared to if you didnt override anti aliasing the settings at all. Im not saying what you're claiming is wrong either, I'm saying its also based on a flawed presupposition. In your case its the assumtion that op is using drivers that give them the option of turning AA levels/aa settings in the driver "off" which is what your link(the first one you posted) talks about and refers to. Again, as for overriding aa and using x2, the performance increase still isnt better compared to using application settings. In fact, its noticeably worse, I've tried it myself as I kept saying over and over.
Thats ping, not fps lol. The game is plagued with networking problems like you're saying and have fixes to them like you're saying, it also has hardware optimization problems. As far as I know, from what op expressed, their qualms are with frame rate, hardware optimization. They made a thread before this one expressing their problem. Unfortunately that devolved into tangenting nonsense as some of of the ideas are based on inaccurate presuppositions, some of which clearly go against what the op says their problem is and the hardware they are using.
Ok, so long as you get it out of your system its all good lol @caioc2 https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-catalyst-is-dead-long-live-crimson/
Lol now you're projecting, words like 'rage' and 'stalk' are nowhere near needed. You're the one that seems to be riled up for whatever reason and now you're trying to save face. You quoted me, asked me for evidence, then assumed I couldnt produced it, the evidence was produced, it supported what I was saying and others here even agree with, then your hail mary was to discredit it by saying its irrelevant. And when I call you out on it you say im raging, try hard etc lol. For the 101th time, your argument falls apart because it is based on the premise that driver settings are defaulted to the optimal performance settings. And again, this is not always the case. Sometimes it defaults to settings that can mess up some games, bns is one of those games. Do you want me to do a video gameplay side by side with one using a specific setting and the other using the override? Or are you going to refute that too? xD Lol you're so full of it. And I said it before in a post that was deleted for whatever reason, I'll say it again...anyone can take a screenshot of an image showing a specific fps number and say "oh I get x amount of fps" simply by changing the view to say the floor or the sky, then moving it back to a high texture area and taking a screenshot before the fps drops back down. Which is why I said video footage tells a better story than some screenshots that can be easily manipulated to support or refute w.e. claim one wants. This quote is sure to bring good laughs if posted elsewhere im sure lol. 8xEQ* is most costly, not 8x. Be that as it may, overriding settings and using whichever level after, still gives worse results than if you used use application settings or enhanced application settings. When I installed the card and driver, anti aliasing mode defaulted to override application settings. The very last thing I did was set it to use application settings/enhance application settings. Before that, I lowered the AA level, changing up other settings etc with the last setting being anti aliasing mode, which did it for me, as in it gave me the best fps boost out of everything I tried, which was lowering graphics settings, changing other driver settings etc. And its not a matter of understanding what others wrote, from the get go, my very first post and my 2nd one after it I address all possible causes of OP's fps problems and offered solutions to them, viable, working solutions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Radeon_Software_Crimson Likewise. Your premise is based on the op still using the catalyst control/older driver UI. Thats not the case: There is no "off" setting in Adrenaline 18.2.1 or 18.2.2(which is what i have atm). Nor is there any option that springboards you into catalyst control or any UI resembling such in these driver versions. The options that I showed in previous posts is what we both have to work with. Again, there is no literal "off" for anti aliasing mode nor any other anti aliasing method, it goes down to x2 for the lowest. There is no off.
Totally off topic. ;) Basically my premise from the get go. Totally off topic right? MMhm, so off topic that you bothered to ask for the video proof that I said I'd post. If it was off topic, why bother looking forward to evidence that is for or against what I'm talking about? I know why, its your strategy to basically discredit the evidence put forth, supporting what im talking about by dismissing it as irrelevant. Because if it was irrelevant to begin with, you wouldn't have pursued me in asking for proof. You are the one off topic here and besides the point because what you are advocating is basically the first thing anyone with a low end pc would do. What I am advocating is what most people would overlook presupposing that the settings are all optimal in the drivers by default. Again, that is not always the case and because of this, my point still stands, as it did from the get go. Again, I dont have to disprove what you are saying because, again, I never said you were wrong. Just missing the point is all. Its really a darn shame this thread devolved into what it did solely because you're too stubborn to realise while what u claim is/may be true, is genuinely missing the point of OP's post. There is no need to run settings on lowest/minium off the bat if there is a possibility of eliminating what could actually be the problem and narrowing it down by process of elimination. You can continue gawking over your screenshots and links if it pleases you so. Again, they may/do support what you're saying but its based on the false premise that settings in drivers are on optimal settings by default. Again, for the 100th time, that is not always the case. Well thats what happens when one is addressing someone else and another person butts in with irrelevant points, doesn't it? Im not addressing what your cares or needs are as they are irrelevant and not the subject of discussion, they never were. If u were the thread starter then that would be a different story. The needs/cares of the thread starter is what I hammered on off the bat. See the screen shotsof the posts I made if you forgot already by the time you've finished reading this.
The optimization problem will never go away because the wrong tool was used to do a specific job. Unreal engine was primarily made for small mapped, first person, small player count, instanced games. Not large mapped, open world, large shared instance games. The engine is cheap to use, its tools are readily available and the familiarity of it is very high, which is why it gets used on projects it should have no business in with the main reason being to cut costs/production time while still not sacrificing too much in terms of visuals, textures etc. Pubg Ark Survival Evolved Blade and Soul Linage 2 Bless Online Dc Universe(online) Yes, even Fortnite All these games and others like them using UE, when compared to other games with similar build/mechanics, are shown to perform dreadfully in terms of fps performance. UE shines in small mapped/shooter/adventure games the most. Most of these games have very linear progression and small/closed worlds/instances with small maps that need little interaction from the player. You cant fix the problem with the same thinking/tools that caused the problem in the first place, the most you can do is side step the problem or taylor the problem to fit the tool(UE). Fortnite performs considerably better compared to pubg even tho they are the same game type and have similar mechanics, thats because epic(the people that also made unreal engine) know very well the limitations the engine has when it comes to these large instanced, big mapped games. They side stepped the problem somewhat and what you see is a childish/cartoony depiction that the game portrays. Which in turn means less textures, less details needed for foliage, whatever. The idea is the game, on max settings, or any setting compared to pubg will perform better because of the lacking detail the game inherently has. With that being said, still. A high end/mid ranged pc has no business getting dropping frame rates, microstuttering, fps bouncing all over the place randomly etc. I suggested in another thread things this same OP @hussam haytham should do. I dont know if they did it or will bother to try it but food for thought; The effort it takes to type a complaint about something thats been complained about since launch(and rightfully so) can be used to try mitigating the already bad optimization this game has. There are settings, tools etc that will enable you to get a smooth experience on mid/high end hardware. If all of that still fails, move on.
Yea, its besides the point I've made multiple times now. Which is regardless of your ingame settings, if you override application settings for anti aliasing mode, on radeon/amd hardware, in radeon drivers, you're most likey to get a hard hit in fps performance. You then went on to say that it doesn't matter because anti aliasing mode defaults/is set to "off" or in other words "use application settings" which is not true. Not always true, as I've said before, I upgraded my graphics card from a lower end one to a higher end one and installed the drivers and it DEFAULTED to OVERRIDE application settings. The performance was LOWER/AS GOOD AS the lower end card I upgraded from UNTIL I changed the anti aliasing mode setting, did it boost the fps up to expected standards.
Yea, it was said 2 or 3 post ago: Continue with the derail if u so wish. I've simply offered a solution to op that worked for me, again, as the videos showed. As when I upgrded my graphics card and installed the drivers, it defaulted to ovveride appliction settings ;). So no, again, it doesnt always default to "off" like you assumed. I even offered a solution if its another case where they are simply using intel graphics xD. Meanwhile you're basically saying the sky is blue over and over again. And again, a screenshot doenst really give the whole story. Anyone can easily change view at the ground then look up and take the screen shot right before the fps dips back down xD. Which is why I've opted to do a video. I'm not try harding as you so claim lol. And if tryharding means proving beyond a doubt what I've been talking about all this time, then ok, I am. Now that you've seem to somewhat get a grasp of what I've been saying all this time, you're now playing it off as irrelevant, meanwhile you keep saying the sky is blue. Like, what else is new? If op is using override application settings for anti aliasing, then what I suggested will help them on top of whatever they do to increase fps. If they aren't using override application settings/default settings and have in game settings on highest, then sure, that's whats contributing to the low fps, but we dont know for sure because even op said they may be using intel graphics and if thats the case then they're more than likely to get higher fps/benifit with dedicated graphics in use and on top of that, set anti aliasing mode to enhance or use application settings or just having it in mind that override impacts performance heavily.(like the video u didn't watch/fully understand, shows).
Nope, not always the case. Especially since we dont even know whether or not op is even using the dedicated graphics and not intel HD xD. If they are using dedicated graphics, we dont know whether or not they have anti aliasing mode globally set to override. Which is why the point still applies. And again, you never watched the vids to know what I was talking about from the get go, even up to now. But you've managed to come with a rebut saying what I claim doesn't matter or is besides the point, when all you've done from the get go was beside the point to begin with. Lool nice exit strategy mate. Cheers

Hi, guys —
I'm an 18-year-old student who lives in Turkey with my parents. I have been searching Christianity for over one year now.
I don't believe in Islam anymore. I want to be a Christian. I shared my feelings with my some of my girlfriends. They are relatively open and trouble free; it's OK for them but there is a problem for me.
My whole family are really, really strict Muslims and if my family noticed my Christian interest, they would fire me. My life would be in danger and I wouldn't be able to survive in this situation.
I want to ask you a question.
I just want to hide my faith from my family, not from everyone.
If someone noticed my Christian interest, and asked me:
Are you a Christian?
Are you a Christian?
I know it's a big sin.
Bob replied:
You are a brave young woman, and it's wonderful that you have chosen to pursue Christianity. I know that in the world of Islam this can be a dangerous decision. Here in the USA we have more freedoms than Turkey, and certainly a much greater cultural connection to Christianity. I will pray for you and your discernment.
At this stage there is no sin in concealing it from your parents. Eventually, when you are an adult (no longer dependent on anyone), they will not be able to dictate what you can and can't do; while you are dependent on them, however, you must pay them respect and try to honor their house rules. However, they cannot tell you what to hold in your heart. I would seek guidance in prayer on how to proceed, and try to find someone who is Christian that you can confide in, share your story and seek counsel and support. There are certainly others among your community that have already traveled this road. You need to find them. Maybe there is a church with a good priest to talk to. Pray that the Spirit will lead to the right persons.
So, you can go to church and do all these things, but the likelihood is that your parents would eventually find out. If you live in your own apartment or with other believers you may be better off. So, use discretion until you have your independence.
Lastly, for respect and love of your parents you will have to tell them, if they haven't already discovered by that time. When you do, you must preface the conversation with how much you love and respect them, and the gifts they have imparted to you, which have always helped you to seek the truth. They may not accept it, but you will do well to show as much kindness and respect in breaking the news. There is no hurry to do that now, but when the time comes, pray that the Spirit gives you the words.

John replied:
I'd just like to add to Bob's comments.
Once you are an adult, it would indeed be best to disclose your faith to your parents . . . if it's safe to do so.
The situation in Turkey is that the Government is becoming more and more Islamic. It is also part our Christian witness to share our faith and attest to it. However, we must use caution. There is a difference between not telling them and denying it if asked.
Once we are adults we should do our absolute best to never deny our faith when asked but it doesn't mean we have advertise it. Yes, we are called to share it but we do so with discretion, wisdom, respect, and love.
Finally, welcome to the family!

News report today on Yahoo about a less-than-convincing survey that indicates nearly 10% of young people in the US are "addicted" to video games. A quote:
A sizable number of young video game players—fully 8.5 percent—exhibit signs of addiction to gaming, a new study has found.
These kids aren't just playing a lot. Their gaming interferes with school performance, disrupts interaction with family and friends and poses health problems, the study reveals.
Douglas A. Gentile, a developmental psychologist and an assistant professor at Iowa State University in Ames, said the study is the first to document the prevalence of video game addiction using a nationally representative sample of children and adolescents.
"What's most concerning to me is really the total percentage, just the vast number of kids that are having real problems in their lives because they play games, and they may not know how to stop it," said Gentile, whose study appears in the May edition of Psychological Science.
Experts don't agree on whether such a thing as "video game addiction" really exists. At present, it is not listed as a mental disorder in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The next update of that manual, which describes criteria for diagnosing various psychiatric disorders, is due out in 2012.
"I think we're at the same place now with video gaming as we were with alcoholism 40 years ago," said Gentile, noting that decades of research finally showed that alcoholism is a disease.
The full article has more critical discussion about the definitions and methodology used, and some of the sample questions. This one made me laugh: "Have you every played as a way of escaping from problems or bad feelings?" Well duh. Isn't that the point?
Reached for comment, a Blizzard spokesperson exchanged high fives with the media, then exclaimed, "And that's just from WoW! Wait until we get Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 out there!" (Joke.)

Mezcal Marqués Reposado
Mezcal Reposado
Hacienda Jaral de Berrio // Guanajuato, Mexico
Mezcal Marqués is produced at the historic Hacienda Jaral de Berrio in the state of Guanjuato. In 1764, the King of Spain granted Marquis Jaral de Barrio permission to make one of "New Spain's" first distillates at the hacienda. Marqués Reposado is made with wild salmiana agave harvested at 8 years, baked in clay ovens, crushed by tahona and distilled in copper pot stills. It is aged 8 months in American oak.
Mezcal ReposadoA spirit distilled from one or more different varieties of agave. Can only be produced in designated areas within 8 different Mexican states. Must be bottled in México. Reposado mezcal is aged for 2 months up to 1 year in wood.
Cask TypeAmerican oak
Tasting Notes
"This dry and toasty mezcal has flavors reminiscent of buttery popcorn. The time in oak lends a sweet spice and burnt caramel notes that compliment the inherent peppery qualities of the distillate. The finish is smooth and spicy, with only a touch of smoke."

Balancing the Mortal and Divine
Long ago, an entity known as the Source visited humanity and gifted certain people with divine power. For a time, the world existed in a state of balance between order and chaos, between life and death, between divinity and mortality. That is, until the gods waged war against the Source and eventually against each other, until the gods were close to extinct.
The gods of today are shadows of what the old gods possessed. Their power has been heavily diminished, and many choose to live a regular, mortal life, revealing themselves as gods only when absolutely necessary. The reason for this is twofold. First, fate doesn't like it when the gods share their secrets with a mortal. Unless they are the god's worshipper, terrible events and horrific accidents have a way of happening to the people closest to the god. Secondly, divine works attract creatures and monsters called Outsiders, created by the Source (after its capture) to destroy any god they encounter.
And so, the gods exist today in a state of flux. They have a mortal life, a job (or career if they're lucky), friends, family, and everything that comes with being human, and they work hard to protect these things from harm. On the other side of the coin, they also have a Dominion to command and oversee, a deific Territory to defend from intruders, secret societies to which they owe allegiances (called Theologies), and other gods in their pantheon to try to get along with. This becomes their life, the balancing of the mortal and the divine, the normal and the supernatural, the mundane and the strange. The gods belong not to either world completely, and each of them knows that delving too deeply into one means losing pieces of the other.
Can you balance your mortal and divine lives?

Today is a no meat day for Lent and I've been experimenting with different ideas for vegetarian meals each week. I found these Garden Veggie Burgers at Publix and they are pretty healthy when you compare them with other vegan products like Morning Star that are often soy based. These GreenWise veggie burgers list carrots, green beans, onion, broccoli, and zucchini on the ingredient list.
I prepared the garden burgers on a griddle with olive oil and sauteed onions. They had a much better texture than most veggie burgers that tend to be mushy. I topped the burgers with avocado, onions, and feta cheese and added a side of baked sweet potato fries. I'm also trying to incorporate more raw veggies into my diet and added a side of sliced organic apples, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers. YUM!!

Girls' PE lessons give 'nightmares'
The way sport is taught to girls in British schools needs a radical rethink, according to Olympic and World cycling champion Victoria Pendleton.
Recent statistics show girls leaving school are half as likely as boys are to be physically fit.
Pendleton believes this is because physical education (PE) lessons are not designed with girls in mind.
"The way sport is done at school is the stuff of nightmares for girls," said Pendleton.
"Take cross country runs, for example, we had to wear horrible, blue knickers and a polo shirt to do them. The smallest uniform for the coldest weather: what's that about?
"And I remember absolutely hating communal showers. I think every teenage girl does.
"This shouldn't be too hard to fix – a few shower curtains, a bit of space to get dressed, some mirrors and working hairdryers – and if it means getting more girls into the habit of sport it's got to be a good thing."
The 34-year-old was speaking at the launch of the Youth Sport Trust's latest initiative to tackle these lower levels of participation by girls in PE and sport, the Girls Active Camp at Loughborough University.
Funded by Sport England and run in partnership with Women in Sport, the three-day camp saw 165 girls aged 14-16 take part in a series of sports sessions and leadership workshops intended to turn them into champions for sport, as opposed to sports champions, within their schools.
The Girls Active Camp idea follows a pilot project that ran through 2014 in 20 schools around the country. The results were remarkable:
- Girls who felt happy about the way they looked rose from 25% to 56%
- Girls who felt unhappy about the way they looked fell from 37% to 16%
- The percentage of girls who looked forward to PE rose from 38% to 71%
- The percentage of girls who felt positive about school rose from 24% to 78%
Pendleton says she was "lucky" to grow up in a sporty family and have a twin brother to compete against, but she knows her story is an exception to the usual tale of girls turning their backs on sport as they reach their teenage years.
The most recent Sport England participation figures revealed two million fewer women aged 14-40 take part in regular sport than men, a statistic that has led to the launch of its 'This Girl Can' campaign.
"Although women are most active when they're younger, that happens to be where the biggest gender divide exists," said Sport England's director of community sport Mike Diaper.
"It's where sporting habits are formed, in some cases for life. That's why it's so important girls get a great experience of PE and sport at school."
Pendleton agrees but believes there is no "one-size-fits-all policy" to encourage more girls into sport.
"Some girls and some schools like traditional sports like football, hockey and netball; but others might want to try something completely different like street dance or self-defence," the double Olympic champion said.
"The important thing is that we stop this silly idea that sport isn't for girls."

The world time-trial champion will be joined by Team GB team-mate Geraint Thomas for the 239-kilometre one-day event.

Cancellara out of spring classics
Fabian Cancellara has been ruled out of next month's Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix after breaking vertebrae in the E3 Harelbeke race in Belgium.
The crash in first classic of the year fractured two vertebrae in Cancellara's lower back, ruling him out of the remainder of the spring campaign.
The Swiss rider, 34, was considered a big threat to the hopes of Sir Bradley Wiggins in his final Paris-Roubaix.
Former champion Tom Boonen also misses both races with a shoulder injury.
Boonen has won the Tour of Flanders four times and the Paris-Roubaix three times.
The absence of Cancellara and Boonen will aid Team Sky rider Wiggins' bid for success in the Paris-Roubaix, his final road race
and his bid to qualify for the Rio 2016 Games.
Cancellara, a three-time winner both of the forthcoming spring classics and the defending Tour of Flanders champion, crashed out within the first hour of the E3 Harelbeke and abandoned the race shortly afterwards.
His Trek Factory Racing team
"X-rays have confirmed the worst: Two fractures of vertebrae in lower back for Cancellara means no spring campaign."
Team director Dirk Demol added on Belgian television: "It seems that a water bottle fell on the cobbles and caused it. He hit his wrist and the lower part of his back. He wasn't looking good at all."
The Tour of Flanders is held on 5 April with the Paris-Roubaix running a week later.

Anadarko strikes out at Rovuma onshore well in Mozambique
The well encountered all targeted zones in the Miocene, Oligocene and Eocene formations but failed to find an economic reservoir and as a result the well has been plugged and abandoned, according to joint venture partner Wentworth Resources.
With the drilling of Kifaru-1 to the final total depth, the consortium led by Anadarko has satisfied all of its drilling obligations under the terms of the Exploration and Production Concession Contract for the Onshore Rovuma Block in Northern Mozambique.
"Whilst the results from this well did not meet our expectations, we are working with Anadarko and our partners to evaluate all data collected to determine the next steps in the exploration phase of the onshore Rovuma block," said Geoff Bury, Wentworth managing director.
Wentworth holds an 11.59 per cent interest in the Rovuma Onshore licence which Anadarko operates the with a 35.7 per cent interest. Other junior partners include Maurel et Prom (27.71 per cent), ENH (15 per cent) and PTTEP (10 per cent).

Real estate market continued to cool in May, after house prices in capital cities recorded their second straight month of single digit growth in May. The RP data-Rismark Hedonic Home Value Index grew by a seasonally adjusted 0.5 per cent in May, up a touch from the 0.2 per cent recorded in April.
April's near flat result followed 16 months of strong house price growth. In the year to May, house prices in capital cities grew by 12.1 per cent. "This second consecutive month of single-digit annualised gains sends a signal that the double-digit growth rates recorded since January 2009 are behind us," RP Data's director of research Tim Lawless said.
"The signposts have been in the market for several months now with lower auction clearance rates, fewer housing finance commitments and weakening consumer confidence." On a city by city basis, home values rose 2.4 per cent in Sydney, while 3.3 per cent per cent growth was recorded in Melbourne.
Home values in Canberra grew 3.7 per cent, while in Brisbane they grew 0.8 per cent and values were up 2.3 per cent in Adelaide. Home prices fell 2.1 per cent in Perth and one per cent in Hobart.

Real-time temperature measurement
From Freeze Dry Solutions, as exclusive representatives for Spain of TEMPRIS Sensor technology, we offer wireless sensors specially designed for real-time measurement of the temperature of the product during the lyophilization process.
TEMPRIS is the only temperature sensor on the market capable of monitoring the temperature of the product inside a vial when it is introduced into the lyophilizer in an aseptic environment by means of an automatic loading and unloading system.
Wireless sensor that does not require batteries or data memory (there is no contribution of temperature to the product)
Real-time monitoring of up to 16 sensors in any lyophilizer scale
Centred and crossed structure for an accurate measurement of the central temperature of the vial
Sterilizable, robust and reusable. Compliant with FDA 21 Part 11 and with GAMP 5 / cGMP
The operation of this system is based on the quality of the quartz crystals, material from which the TEMPRIS sensors are made, to vibrate at a different frequency depending on their temperature. An interrogation unit connected to an external antenna gives the order to said antenna to periodically send a signal at a frequency of 2,4 GHz. Thanks to the antenna that incorporates the sensor itself, it receives said signal and depending on its temperature vibrates to a certain frequency. The superposition of the signal emitted by the sensor when vibrating and the signal emitted by the external antenna produces a change of frequency in the original signal that is captured by the external antenna. From this frequency change, the temperature of the sensor that is in contact with the product is determined.
Freeze Dry Solutions, representante en exclusiva para España de Tempris Sensor Technology, pone a su servicio todo su know-how en procesos de liofilización y personal con amplia experiencia en en el sector GMP y con especialización en liofilización para resolver cualquier duda acerca de cómo implementar Tempris en sus procesos.

The much-anticipated and critically acclaimednew series Supergirl took flight Monday night, gaining major super-viewing power as1.7 million viewers (2+) tuned in to the series premiere on Global. As the #1 dramaof the night, across all key demos*, overnight data confirms that the Supergirlpremiere beat out all other new fall show premieres against the coveted younger 18-34 demo, as well as adults 25-54. During Monday's action-packed series premiere, viewers got up close and personal with fall's latest Superhero, Kara Zor-El, and her skill set of super-human powers as she jumped off buildings, re-routed airplanes, and stopped oncoming traffic with the force of her body.
With critics across the country praising the new series, from the Toronto Star saying "…this Supergirl is significant" to TV Junkies declaring that Supergirl is "the show we've long been missing in the world of superheroes," the premiere episode ended on a sinister note when viewers found out that Kara's aunt, and her mother's evil sister (also played by Laura Benanti), is out to destroy Supergirl with the ultimate goal of ruling planet Earth.
After premiering Monday night in a one-time only special timeslot of 8:30pm ET/PT,Supergirl returns to its regular timeslot of 8 pm ET/PT next Monday, November 2on Global. In next week's episode entitled "Stronger Together," when Kara's attempts to help National City don't go according to plan, she must put aside the doubts that she – and the city's media – have about her abilities in order to capture an escapee from the Kryptonian prison, Fort Rozz. Also, Cat pressures James to use his connection to Superman to get her an interview with Supergirl.

Dustin Warburton!!!
Our staffer Holly caught up with author DUSTIN WARBURTON at the recent Chiller Theatre convention and spoke to him about his new book TASTE. Dustin is a writer you guys should be on the look-out for, so sit back, relax and read our FRIGHT exclulsive interview with Dustin Warburton!!! - by Holly 1/07
DW: "Taste" is about the town in New York that I grew up in. The characters in the book are based on people I grew up with. The story is about a series of mysterious disappearances and deaths that take place in the town – spanning several centuries. Living in the town as a kid inspired me to write the story. All of the houses are run-down, old mansions that were built in the mid 1800's. The town is surrounded by dense forest, miles upon miles of state land. Seclusion in the modern world.
HN: When did you start writing "Taste"? How long did it take, concept to published copy?
DW: I was published in 12th grade when I was accepted to the New England Young Writers Conference in Middlebury Vermont. It is the most prestigious conference in the country, also the hardest to get into. The prologue in "Taste" was written in 1998, and it was that piece that got me accepted and published. I won a writing contest in 2002. It was a local horror writing contest for Halloween, I wrote the story in three days and entered, I won, and was published in the paper. It was only the second time I ever sent anything to anyone.
HN: Speaking of illustrators, do you believe illustrations are essential to a good horror novel, or can a story be just as scary without pictures?

Evaluation in Planning: An Investigation into Plan Quality and its Application to Official Plans in the Ontario-Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) Region
MetadataShow full item record
Evaluation is an established activity in public sector organizations. Evaluation is rooted in the principle that government interventions should have demonstrable benefits. In the realm of planning, there are two broad areas of evaluation: (1) planning evaluation and (2) plan evaluation. Planning evaluation is concerned about evaluating planning processes and planning practice, while plan evaluation focuses on assessing plans and their outcomes. Plan evaluation includes assessing the quality of plans, the success of plan implementation, and the outcomes of plans. While both forms of evaluation remain relatively unexplored, when compared to other areas of planning literature, the gap in knowledge regarding plan evaluation is particularly pronounced. This research contributes to our understanding of plan evaluation, particularly in regards to assessing the quality of official plans. This dissertation follows an article-based format and includes four manuscripts. At the time of submission, two manuscripts (Manuscripts 1 and 2) were published in the Journal of Planning Practice and Research and Journal of Planning Education and Research, while the remaining two manuscripts (Manuscripts 3 and 4) were under review at the Journal of the American Planning Association and Journal of Planning Education and Research. Manuscripts 1 and 2 were co-authored with Dr. Mark Seasons, Advisor. Manuscripts 1 and 2 reviewed the existing literature on evaluation in planning. Manuscript 1 examined the factors that contribute to the under-use of plan outcome evaluation in local government planning practice. The concept of evaluation was explained and the relationship that exists between program evaluation and plan evaluation was explored. Manuscript 2 reviewed the major approaches of program evaluation and evaluation in planning, including formative, summative, ex ante, on going, and ex post evaluations. The challenges to evaluating plans were also discussed including the reliance on ex ante evaluations; a lack of outcome evaluation methodologies; the attribution gap; and institutional hurdles. Areas requiring further research were highlighted in both of these manuscripts. Manuscripts 3 and 4 discussed the results from survey research and content analysis. Manuscript 3 discussed the results of a web-based anonymous survey administered to 290 municipalities across the province of Ontario. The findings indicated that practicing planners generally regard plan quality as important; researchers and practitioners should not treat plan quality principles equally; and implementation and monitoring and evaluation principles were undervalued as being very important contributors to plan quality when compared to other principles. Manuscript 4 discussed the findings from content evaluations of 63 official plans found in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) region using 70 indicators to measure nine plan quality principles discussed in the literature. The findings indicated that goals and policies were the strongest principles; fact base, monitoring and evaluation, and public participation were the weakest principles; implementation and inter-organizational coordination were somewhat weak; and plan organization and presentation and legislative requirements were reasonably strong. Based on the findings from the literature review, survey research, and content analysis, several strategies to enhance the quality of official plans are proposed, including: strengthening the importance of the provincial government's role in planning as a means of improving the quality of local official plans; enhancing implementation and monitoring and evaluation provisions in planning initiatives; better describing the empirical foundation and participation process used to inform plan development; and extending plan quality evaluations to planning practice.

Port of Tauranga required systems to collate, check and create PDF support documents for invoicing based on shipping line preferences.
Project name: VisBot
Client: Port of Tauranga
Location: Tauranga
Description of project:
Port of Tauranga is the busiest port in New Zealand. Each vessel in port must be invoiced for marine charges, including hatch cover removal and replacement, docking, harbour charges, garbage removal, and crew transport.
Each container on the vessel must be charged for customer-required movement, rail cost, security and power. While the operations data is handled in N4, the charges for services are handled in proprietary software built by the port. Data is emailed between the finance team and operations so the robot must open, scan, scrape and process this data. An audit trail is built by the robot for checking and review, as it runs. All incoming data is preserved in the audit folder by the robot.
Containers on-board vessels are charged to the shipping lines who own them. Charges vary by line and service, as well as by container type.
There are three systems which were used to capture, assess, and finally invoice shipping lines. Handled manually, each vessel took an average of approximately three hours to process. On robot test runs, vessels were processed successfully in 5-7 minutes each.
Timeliness of delivered services:
The initial trial robot was delivered in one calendar month. Another month was spent by the client doing UAT, with no input from Probotics. The final update took two working days to complete and install before go live. The timeframe was as predicted.
Benefits delivered:
The implementation went live in December 2017.
The IT / Finance Manager expressed satisfaction with the outcome.
"We engaged Probotics to automate a process using their Robotic Process Automation tool – UiPath. The purpose of the bot was to collate information from various systems to support invoicing to our customers. Probotics undertook this development in a very professional manner, working well with our staff and delivering a bot that met the business requirements. It was delivered on time and to budget, and worked exceptionally well.
We would have no hesitation in engaging them to develop additional RPA solutions for our organisation."

Bike patrol gear - Charity bike rides 2011 - Specialized road bicycle
Bike Patrol Gear
Raleigh 'Police' Bicycle 1960 (UK) With Double Crossbars
More detailed view in 'All Sizes' mode.
Bicycle built by Raleigh in Nottingham (UK) in 1960 for export to Nigeria where it was considered a status symbol due to having the unusual feature of two crossbars providing extra strength.
The bicycle has a 26" frame with 28" wheels,(rider, when aboard, can easily get a nose bleed due to being so high up!) 3 speed Sturmey Archer gear and rod brakes. Still has original stainless steel wheels, mudguards, chain, chain guard, bell, rear light, pump and reflector etc.
Cycle was used for general police patrols and home beat duties by officers of the Metropolitan Police (London UK) at Chelsea Police Station, Sutton Police Station (Cheam Village home beat patrols), Banstead Police Station and for 2 months each summer by officers attached to Scotland Yard's Royalty Protection Department (SO14) for security patrols at Balmoral Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the British Royal Family were in residence.
During the early 1980's the London Metropolitan Police actively encouraged the stamping of a post code (zip code) on bicycles and this particular bicycle was used heavily in the promotion of this crime prevention initiative by the force.
Contrary to general perception the Metropolitan Police did not own the bikes, they were in fact owned by the individual officer who received a cycle allowance when used for official police duties (miniscule amount).
Before receiving the cycle allowance the bicycle had to be inspected and tested by a senior officer as to its road worthiness and general condition. However, some UK forces did supply their officers with an 'official' bicycle.
Originally the official police description of this type of bicycle for reporting purposes, would be, a 'black gents ped', but as political correctness descended upon us the description was changed to 'gents black ped'.
A very heavy, solidly built bicycle to say the least! Is now used on a very regular basis and housed permanently in the Highland village of Ballater, Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK, although not as a method of police transport, now used for simply collecting the daily newspaper from Yules the local Ballater newsagents.
The bicycle now receives many admiring glances and interested enquiries from locals and tourists alike when 'parked' in the village of Ballater. The main comments are "We haven't seen a bike like that for many a year" or " They don't make 'em like that anymore " or " I bet that's an old police bike" or "That's a proper bicycle that is!" or "Look it's got two crossbars".
The rider does not look forward to fairly steep hills on their proposed route.....hard work! Always looking and hoping for a flat route.
Also, thanks to 3-In-One oil and WD40 for keeping things running smoothly and shining bright. Can't believe the bike is now 50 years old! Probably will go on for another 50 years or more!
The owner is showing signs of age quicker than the bicycle itself!

It was amazing to see the Lancaster bomber Phantom of the ruhr flying low over Leicestershire.
It was my frist time photographing moving aircraft and I think my motor sport photography came in handy. the canon was set in shutter priority at 1/125 of a second with the good old 100-400mm L lens.O and my wild imagination.

Political commercials using a candidate's own words to show that someone has changed positions, flip-flopped or lied, is nothing new. However, TheBlaze has discovered a new video that seems to take the idea a few steps further, expanding the :30 second commercial into a short, un-narrated documentary.
The compilation attached here is first product posted online by an amateur video editor. TheBlaze interviewed the project's creator. The man (who wishes to remain anonymous) told us that he wanted to show his undecided friends (as well as those considering voting for Obama) the stark contrast between what the president has said in the past and what he has said and done in office.
He used clips from previous appearances by President Obama as well as excerpts from various ads and news programs and built something he calls "Words Matter."
The YouTube description reads:
A short un-narrated documentary that looks at Obama's first term with regards to transparency, healthcare, taxes, fairness, energy and the national debt - guaranteed to contain information of interest.
The heretofore apolitical unnamed editor describes himself "just a guy in his living room. " He said that his goal was to get the viewer's attention for less than fifteen minutes. Mission accomplished -- the video runs just 13:27 (including a short promo for "2016" that was tacked onto the end.
For your consideration -- "Words Matter":

As soon as I heard the news my heart sank. I just assumed the Republicans had caved. Doesn't sound like it, though, not yet anyway, and the basic DACA problem has merely been postponed.
ZitatSenate Democrats bowed to pressure to reopen the government Monday, joining Republicans in backing an immigration and spending compromise that was quickly denounced by liberals and immigration activists. Roughly 60 hours after the federal government first shut down, a bipartisan group of negotiators in the Senate prevailed with leadership, trading Democratic support for reopening the government for a commitment by Republicans to hold a vote resolving the status of young undocumented immigrants by mid-February. The Senate voted 81-18 to end a filibuster of a spending bill that would fund the government through Feb. 8 and reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program for six years. The upper chamber was expected to pass the measure Monday afternoon, then send it to the House for quick approval. The government can reopen once President Trump signs the funding into law.
Breitbart:Democrats Cave on 'Schumer Shutdown,' Agree to Three-Week Spending BillSenate Democrats caved on the "Schumer Shutdown," on Monday and agreed to a three-week spending bill that will fund the government until February 8.Shortly before the cloture vote, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told reporters that after leaving the Democratic meeting, the three-week Continuing Resolution (CR) might even get 70 votes.In the end, the Senate approved the motion to invoke cloture and end debate, 81-18, featuring overwhelming bipartisan support.....................................................http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/...-spending-bill/
The Dems recognized the public perception that this shutdown was the result of their intransigence over protecting illegal's interests over American's interests, and decided to cut bait and go home. I hope the GOP makes this a campaign issue this year.

How To Fix A Garbage Disposal
The disposal is a finicky household appliance and everyone should know, at least a little bit about how to fix a garbage disposal when it clogs. There are some simple things you can do to keep garbage disposal clogs to a minimum. Don't expect it to devour and digest everything. For example, don't throw corncobs, artichokes, avocado pits, or fish and chicken bones down a disposal and expect it to continue working without a clog. What usually causes a clog is:
- Dropping a foreign object, usually a spoon or fork into the disposal
- Feeding garbage in too rapidly, or
- Failing to run enough water to completely flush out the drain pipes while garbage is being processed
How To Fix A Garbage Disposal
Once you're faced with a clog, you should never use chemical drain cleaners in a disposal. The chemicals are highly corrosive and may damage rubber or plastic parts. What SHOULD you do?
First, shut off the electrical power switch for the disposal. This switch is located under the cabinet, near the disposal, or on a wall nearby. If you don't find a switch, go to the main power panel and turn off the breaker. Never put your hand in the disposal. Remember that the switch may be defective, so keep your hands out of the disposal even when power to the machine is turned off.
Take a look in the disposal. A flashlight may shed some light on the problem — you may see a large object caught in the disposal. If an object caused the stoppage, use a pair of pliers to reach into the disposal and remove it.
Wait 15 minutes for the disposal motor to cool then turn on the power and push the reset or overload protector button that is located on the bottom of the disposal.
If it is still clogged, head to your neighborhood Ace Hardware store to pick up a Jam Buster Wrench. The Jam Buster is a large L-shaped hex wrench designed specifically for garbage disposals. Insert the hex wrench into the opening in the center of the disposal's bottom, then turn the wrench back and forth until the impeller is freed.
