The first title for this that came to my mind about 62 seconds ago was "Things should be free" but then I refrained. Actually, we still live in a world where everybody needs to make some money and where people feel useless unless they got a contract telling them how much they are worth per month.
I need to earn money, not in order to have a luxurious life, but to be able to cope with my social responsibilities and fulfil some of my dreams. But since little, I knew how wrong this system and teaching is. I was lucky to have met super teachers along my life, who just by being themselves, taught me so much. There were real teachers such as Mr. Eickhoff, Mrs. Abernethy, Mr. Vilimek, Mr, Storck, Mrs. Eder and many others, who's names don't come back that fast. There were life teachers, such as Benderpelz, Sarah, my first boyfriend Sascha, Goethe (even if dead), Angie, Jasmin, Nobi, Verena La Mela, Mrs. Mittler, my Sweetheart and many others I just can't remember that fast.
Even before having studied ethics, religion or philosophy the concepts of life were simply clear, just like, when you let qa child be a child and treat it well, it just might find out itself about right and wrong. So, sometimes I am criticized a bit for not being competitive enough. And then always this memory of my first school competition was in my mind and I still think I reacted right.
We were eight years old and supposed to run our first kilometer on time. I was much taller than the other girls, so I started and there I ran in the first place. But I found it so boring to be there in the first place and when I looked around I saw this girl (this is a true story) who had real difficulties and was struggling to run. Of course, it is sad that a seven year old kid is overweight because at that age you should be more outside than inside. Anyway! i saw this girl and I wanted to start a friendship. I started falling back until I reached her and then I automatically started motivating her, what the teacher should have actually done, right? We both ended up being last, but she made her first kilometer. That was so important to me. I really did not understand why the teacher criticised me for a second for letting go. And I am in this struggle between what the world wants me to do and what I believe is right, and as many other this struggle simply will go on until the end of this life.
The girl I helped, went to another class, and our friendship only lasted those eight minutes. Now I wonder, whether she remembers this story, too.
Oh, what has it got to do with money? It's all got to do with money!

Horse Racing Nation has put a list together of probable Breeders' Cup Juvenile entries and gauged the possibility of them moving on to win the Kentucky Derby. Since the Breeders' Cup began in 1984, only one horse, Street Sense in 2006-2007, has one both races.
Brian Zipse throws some surprises in there – most notably giving three-time stakes winner Nyquist a C in his chances – behind Conquest Big E, who has only one two maidens so far. But the rest of the field features the big names so far – Swipe- who he says is gaining on Nyquist with every race against him – Exaggerator, Greenpointcrusader and Brody's Cause.
While it's way too early to be making predictions for the 2016 Derby – some of the horses mentioned in this story will not even be remembered by Derby Day – it's interesting to see which horses are already developing what it takes to go a mile and a quarter in May. Zipse likes Brody's Cause, Exaggerator, and little known Unbridled Outlaw, mostly on his bloodlines.

The morning air is getting a little crisper signalling the end of Summer, at least this year we have had a bit of warmth and not the constant torrential downpours of the previous few years. Inside the greenhouse the tomatoes have done well along with very knobbly cucumbers for some unknown reason and as we near September some fine chillies too.
Bunnyopolis has a makeover in the Spring, the new apple trees we planted have given us three apples, not bad for a start and we managed to protect them from Iona, Aaran and Jura somewhat although one we planted in the corner was raided when they realised that if they all leant on the surrounding fence it bowed enough for them to reach and pluck bits off. But then again, that's part of the fun, you never know what three large bunnies will do next. Only yesterday Jayne was casually stroking Aaran whist laying on the floor when Jura came over all goat like and leapt on her back providing her with some fine claw marks as 25lbs of rabbit jumped off shaking her head and waving helicopter ears.
So I'm feeling a bit reflective this morning, everything's teetering on the edge of change as the first misty mornings and dewey grass indicate, its all made more apparent by our local supermarkets insistence to start selling Christmas tubs of sweets and the odd witches hat.
Plenty of work to do in the mean time but this morning as Yoda would say 'Not, I Am Ready'

Aparthotel Development
Holstein Investments Limited
Nos. 12-17 Mark Street and Nos. 3-7 Shaw Street, Dublin 2
August 2015 – Ongoing
DTA Architects

3D Design Bureau
The Applicant, Holstein Investments Limited, is a subsidiary established by Tetrarch Capital Limited, an Irish-owned Dublin-based real estate investment and development platform that is particularly active in the hotel/hospitality and leisure sectors, with interests also in residential and office developments.
The development of a purpose-built aparthotel on the site seeks to provide much-needed additional tourist accommodation in Dublin in a strategic site in the city centre.
In summary, the development proposed will have a primary frontage to Mark Street and a secondary frontage to Shaw Street. The scheme proposes the demolition of existing part single/part 2 storey commercial buildings and the development of a part 5 (including setbacks) and part 6 storey (including setbacks) over basement aparthotel comprising 142 No. studios/suites consisting of 165 No. rooms and related aparthotel facilities including: reception area; coffee and seating area; exercise room; guest laundry room; storage; administration and staff facilities; plant area; waste storage area; and delivery and dispatch area.
The development includes works to protect and conserve the existing railway arches with the areas under these integrated into the overall proposal, which includes for a change of use of these areas from car rental commercial use to aparthotel use.
The scheme was developed to respect the adjacent DART line, to ensure that the special character of the proximate Protected Structures was protected and also to ensure that the amenities of adjoining residents are not negatively impacted upon.
Our Role
Tom Phillips + Associates (TPA) provided strategic planning advice to the Applicant and Design Team and served as the Agent for the Planning Application and subsequent Further Information stage.
Planning Outcome
Dublin City Council issued a Notification of Grant of Permission for the scheme in April 2017.

When I first came to live in London I didn't know that bangers and mash was food! Let alone what bangers were and what mash was.
I had no idea what the dish was. As far as I was concerned bangers are what you bang together to produce a noise like a gong, and mash was the name of a favourite American movie series "M.A.S.H". I wondered why this was something you can eat or find in a pub or cafe. Sounded more like something you'll find in a car service centre or garage. It could have been the name of a tool you used to hold two pieces of glued wooden slats – like a clamp.
I first had bangers and mash in 2004 at Davy's pub near my office. Since then I have always associated bangers and mash with Davy's since it was there that I was initiated to bangers and mash – the name of a simple common dish. Anyway, then, it turned out to be a dish made up of a couple of sausages – Cumberland sausages – and mashed potato. I found this explanation of bangers and mash.
On this particular lunch time with my two close friends last week, I thought since we were at Davy's I might as well go for bangers and mash and I did. The dish not only hit the spot for me that day, it also warmed my heart to recall that this was where I first tasted this favourite hunger reliever. To be honest a dish with a confusing name but a goodie, nonetheless.
To complete our wonderful lunchtime get together, two of us shared an apply slice with cream.
A great time was had by all.

I had the honor to connect with Jim Chappell and learn about his leadership qualities and how he has been successful. Jim is an urban development expert, strategic thinker, community opinion leader, and the previous President and Executive Director of SPUR.
Jim built SPUR to become one of the nation's leading community development organizations and led the opening of the Urban Center in May 2009. During his time at SPUR he provided community leadership and government relations on projects such as reorganizing Muni management structure; development of the Presidio Trust; development of a comprehensive strategic city parks plan; design and financing of Doyle Drive; conception of the Transbay redevelopment area; the community strategy for the de Young Museum and the California Academy of Sciences.
He continues his work today by providing strategic assistance to the development community, public agencies, and community organizations, including the Fort Mason Center.
What do you believe are the characteristics and actions that you used to get to where you are today?
1. Diligence. Do my best. If you don't do your best all the time there is no point in doing it at all because someone else will be doing their best and they will succeed and you won't.
2. Rigorous honesty. Tell everyone the same thing.
3. Never attribute blame to anyone; do not characterize or name people by their beliefs (e.g., NIMBY, greedy developer, etc.)
4. Do not attribute motives to others' actions. You can never know another person's motivations, nor is it helpful.
Ask, probe, guide, lead by example, but don't dictate.
What are you doing to ensure you grow and develop as a leader?
I try to stretch the boundaries of my knowledge… especially talking with youth …who bring a whole experience and knowledge base that I don't have. I am having a ball talking with young people in India…they are anxious to talk with Americans and it is absolutely fascinating how they see the world…Indian politics, American politics, marriage and the all-important family, education and careers, etc. How do I know that it isn't better to have your more experienced family pick your life partner? How can I possibly tell people in the chain of a 7000 year culture that I am right and they are wrong?
Sometimes leadership is listening. Ask, probe, guide, lead by example, but don't dictate. At any rate, this is how I am trying to continue to develop.
What drives you to be successful?
I subscribe to the campground rule: leave the world a better place than you found it.
What questions do you often ask yourself?
What am I missing?
Why don't I see it the way x person does?
How do you ensure Fort Mason's and its activities are aligned with your "core values"?
Provide gentle guidance. At the beginning of every year, talk to the staff and board about our values, what we are going to accomplish, how we are going to get there, what are the rules of the road. Big picture overview; enunciate higher principles; assure everyone explicitly thinks at least once a year about them.
Banish excuses. And then stand back.
What is the biggest challenge leaders in urban planning face today?
Distrust of government. Few people trust government like we once did. "Everything thing is a conspiracy. Every politician and bureaucrat is a crook."
Lack of common knowledge base and source of information. We have limitless sources of information online but no one is editing it. Anyone can say anything and who with knowledge and authority is to contradict? We often empower the least informed among us. And these two factors reinforce each other in negative ways.
What are the most important traits of successful leaders in urban planning today?
Ability to listen and HEAR – take in all viewpoints.
Understand that your role is to make a considered recommendation to the elected decision maker. You must be able to enunciate all sides of the issue to that decision maker, let go and let the decision maker do as she sees fit, and resist any thought of ever embarrassing him/her. If you can't do this, go sell shoes, or get yourself elected to public office.
What sacrifices do you make as a leader?
You have to meet the public when and where they are. This means night meetings on their turf. It also means putting yourself out in public for whatever comes down.
Home life suffers.
This is the first of a series of interviews I am committed to conduct of today's leaders in urban planning and gain insight in their leadership qualities and how they have been successful.

Royal attention for Perupas and Annabelle
The Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima visited Southern Germany last week. The royal visit coincided with the agri-food trade mission to Bayern that HZPC participated in. At a specially designed Dutch agri-food stand at the market in Munich, our colleague André Tekelenburg gave a pitch to the royal couple about HZPC, our innovative coloured Perupas and the success story of Annabelle in Germany. It was a great success and we gained a lot of attention!
The agri-food trade mission was organized from 12-14 April by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and lead by Dutch Minister Ploumen. The goal was to strengthen the relationships between the Netherlands and Bayern. The agrifood program was organized by the Dutch agricultural council of Berlin. More than fifteen Dutch agri-food companies and branch organisations participated in the event with the theme "Get in touch with the Dutch".

Online Forestry Degree Programs
Explore your options for online degree programs related to forestry, including programs in areas like natural resources. Check the prerequisites for enrolling in an undergraduate or graduate degree program with forestry coursework. Discover how online programs work, review the courses you might take, and get career info for the forestry field. Schools offering Environmental & Social Sustainability degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What Levels of Online Study Are Available to Forestry Students?
Online programs in forestry are very rare. However, there are online programs in related fields--such as fisheries and wildlife, ecology and natural resources--are more widely available through associate's, bachelor's and master's degree options. In some cases, you may be able to select a concentration or a minor in forestry.
The associate's degree programs are designed so that credits can transfer to advanced studies, such as a bachelor's degree program. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a 4-year degree is typically considered the minimum education level a person must pursue to become a forester or conservation scientist. Prerequisites for undergraduate programs are simply a high school diploma or the equivalent.
A master's degree can help job candidates stand out among baccalaureate graduates. At this level, you may be able to find more options for concentrating in forestry in particular. Prerequisites for the master's degree programs include holding a bachelor's degree in a relevant field. You must also submit to letters of reference from people who can evaluate your academic performance. Your GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores are required, as is a statement of purpose that indicates why you want to earn the master's degree in forestry.
|Degree Types
|Associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees in related fields are available online

How Do Online Programs Work?
Undergraduate degrees in forestry can be completed entirely online, though some courses are also offered in a hybrid format, allowing you to complete some components online and some in person. You may have to complete an internship and field experiences. In the master's degree programs, some courses are offered online and some must be completed in person. These Web-based courses are usually asynchronous, so there aren't any scheduled class times. You also have to write a thesis for a master's program in forestry.
What Courses Will I Take?
Your core courses pertain to caring for the forest, protecting animal inhabitants and preventing possible threats. On one hand, you study management and policy enforcement techniques--while on the other, you study the sciences and discover the types of plant and animal growth that are natural to certain habitats. Elective courses can be tailored to address one particular career focus or area of interest, such as fisheries or animal reproduction.
Designed as transfer programs, associate's degree programs include mostly general education courses but include forestry electives. Bachelor-level courses address how humans affect ecosystems, environmental ethics and national park preservation skills. At the graduate level, topics include:
- Managing the forest ecosystem
- Tree classification
- Preventing, detecting, suppressing and managing forest fires
- Types of soil
- Ecology and conservation
How Can I Use This Degree?
With an undergraduate degree in forestry, you can become a forester; this job includes such duties as making maps of forests and detailing paths or creating forest policies. You could also become a park ranger and enforce such policies, protecting both the wilderness and those visiting it. With a master's degree in forestry, you can help develop plans to manage and protect the forest or create and oversee fire-prevention programs. You could also help control soil erosion, tree diseases and flooding.

Proven Inclusive Leadership
I'm running for the 35th Assembly District because it's time to have a leader in Sacramento who is off the sidelines, and gets the job done.
As a Morro Bay City Council Member I put people at the heart of my decision making. Being a mother, a public educator, and a community organizer guides my actions. Through my leadership and my votes I have advocated for increased housing, clean water security, improved infrastructure, local jobs, and economic development. I am experienced at building common ground and following through on tough issues to deliver results.
The Central Coast is ready for a representative who is as hard-working as we are. It is time for a proactive approach in Sacramento. It is time for a leader who will take meaningful action to create economic and social opportunities. It is time to speak boldly for the people of the California.

I just finished writing an article for the November issue of Strictly Business. The focus of this issue will be on Memory Care, Dementia, Alzheimer's. At the end I was answering a question from the editorial staff and thought I would share my answer as a blog entry today.
"What are some important things to have in place or plans to make before your loved one loses their memory capabilities? Why? What do you recommend for care options as Dementia or Alzheimer's progresses?"
Legacy, your story, your history, your advice and love is what I want for you to have in place before the memory capabilities are diminished. Routinely I hear children say, "Dad/Mom doesn't know us anymore." Then they continue with this…"I wish I would have asked them about _____." So what to have in place now? I simply say, talk! Have any conversation now. Don't wait for a better time…what if there isn't a better time?

Time and time again, I hear stories from people who are working through life after the death of a loved one. One true amazing fact (from my point of view) is how this grief is so beautiful. Watching the expression of healing grief, grief that has had the opportunity to become a part of life, but not consume the life is just so beautiful.
You know what it is like to weep with a reverent joy? A grief that has respect for love, memories and legacy? It is cleansing, refreshing, tells a story, testifies to a hope and invites others in to experience an intimate emotion.
What a joy to meet with others and see them living through the process…may I follow your examples dear people.

Once you do something for the First Time, you will always have that experience to draw from for the next time! Duh?
Just like today, Conversations (my handbook and journal) sold on Amazon.com and was shipped off to Nevada.
First Times like this are major marking points in life. When you are trying to accomplish a goal, whether happy or tough you have to go through the first time of attempting to reach that goal.
Some of you are going to your first cancer treatment, some are going through meeting your hospice team for the first time, some are waking up to the first day without your loved one…
Just know there will now never be another "first time" again for that situation ever again. You are now on your way to finding how the second, third, forth…one hundredth time will go and you will have all of the previous efforts under your belt.
What's the point? Perseverance my friends…"stick-to-it-ive-ness!"

Tonight I was able to see encouragement in action. My friend has breast cancer and there was a fundraiser for her at Red9. How humbling it must be to be the guest of honor for this and yet how important, good and right for us to help her in creative ways.
Friends were supporting her with photos, cash, cards, words of courage and testimonies of remission too. And then…5 people had their long locks cut of and heads shaved to show their solidarity.
It takes guts to face the diagnosis and treatment of cancer…but it also takes courage to let people help. Way to go friends for supporting my friend!

Today I read a devotional that went like this; "Be willing to go out on a limb with Me. If that is where I am leading you, it is the safest place to be."
So, how willing are we to follow the lead of our God? I don't think dragging my feet is always resistance to His leading, but it gets really scary out there on that limb sometimes!
To feel safe though is a mighty wonderful feeling. Even though the motion of life (the limb?) and the narrowness of that situation (the limb?) or the focus it takes to stay steady the course… there can be safety. Rest. Assurance. Peacefulness.
Might be worth thinking about for yourself.

Over and over again I get to experience the soothing care and affect (or is it effect) on hurting people. There is a calming, a settling, a relaxation that comes over us when we are next to our "buddies" or have them on our lap that is better than any drug ever.
The instinct our pets have when we are stressed and or ill, can clue us in to being aware of unidentified feelings or needs. Just think of the trained animals for the blind, those with histories of seizures or diabetes problems…they sense and begin working as soon as they pick up on problems.
For now, those of you who have pets and understand the beauty of their presence in your lives…let them do their work in helping care for you.

Today I had a very minor dermatology procedure…all I could think of was folks who are going through really tough physical problems. I felt like such a wimp! So, for a bazillion thoughts that crossed my mind, I say bless you folks who are suffering, personalize their care you medical people! Personalize your interaction with the ill and help them feel as though you have studied their chart and story in detail. Personalize them, please….

Are they for loss?
I'd venture to say every failure is a stepping stone closer to a dream come true. If not a dream, perhaps getting closer to a goal or a vision. We ALL have points in time where the result of "failure" applies to our lives.
What will we do with the information of "failed?" I can tell you I had one this week and I said, "NO! LET ME TURN THE CLOCK BACK AND TRY AGAIN!" But, no such luck, time ticked on and the record was in the books. ARGH…
Yet…the emotions are passing, plan B is coming in to the picture and life is definitely going on. Regroup and press through…thank you anyone that encouraged me along the way.

With the emergence of cloud computing, computing resources (i.e., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) are provisioned as metered on-demand services over networks, and can be rapidly allocated and released with minimal management effort. In the cloud computing paradigm, the virtual machine is one of the most commonly used resource carriers in which business services are encapsulated. Virtual machine placement optimization, i.e., finding optimal placement schemes for virtual machines, and reconfigurations according to the changes of environments, become challenging issues.
The primary contribution of this licentiate thesis is the development and evaluation of our combinatorial optimization approaches to virtual machine placement in cloud environments. We present modeling for dynamic cloud scheduling via migration of virtual machines in multi-cloud environments, and virtual machine placement for predictable and time-constrained peak loads in single-cloud environments. The studied problems are encoded in a mathematical modeling language and solved using a linear programming solver. In addition to scientific publications, this work also contributes in the form of software tools (in EU-funded project OPTIMIS) that demonstrate the feasibility and characteristics of the approaches presented.
Cloud brokerage mechanisms are fundamental to reduce the complexity of using multiple cloud infrastructures to achieve optimal placement of virtual machines and avoid the potential vendor lock-in problems. However, current approaches are restricted to static scenarios, where changes in characteristics such as pricing schemes, virtual machine types, and service performance throughout the service life-cycle are ignored. In this paper, we investigate dynamic cloud scheduling use cases where these parameters are continuously changed, and propose a linear integer programming model for dynamic cloud scheduling. Our model can be applied in various scenarios through selections of corresponding objectives and constraints, and offers the flexibility to express different levels of migration overhead when restructuring an existing infrastructure. Finally, our approach is evaluated using commercial clouds parameters in selected simulations for the studied scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that, with proper parametrizations, our approach is feasible.
We present an approach to optimal virtual machine placement within datacenters for predicable and time-constrained load peaks. A method for optimal load balancing is developed, based on binary integer programming. For tradeoffs between quality of solution and computation time, we also introduce methods to pre-process the optimization problem before solving it. Upper bound based optimizations are used to reduce the time required to compute a final solution, enabling larger problems to be solved. For further scalability, we also present three approximation algorithms, based on heuristics and/or greedy formulations. The proposed algorithms are evaluated through simulations based on synthetic data sets. The evaluation suggests that our algorithms are feasible, and that these can be combined to achieve desired tradeoffs between quality of solution and execution time.
The cloud computing landscape has recently developed into a spectrum of cloud architectures, leading to a broad range of management tools for similar operations but specialized for certain deployment scenarios. This both hinders the efficient reuse of algorithmic innovations within cloud management operations and increases the heterogeneity between different management systems. Our overarching goal is to overcome these problems by developing tools general enough to support the full range of popular architectures. In this contribution, we analyze commonalities in recently proposed cloud models (private clouds, multi-clouds, bursted clouds, federated clouds, etc.), and demonstrate how a key management functionality - service deployment - can be uniformly performed in all of these by a carefully designed system. The design of our service deployment framework is validated through a demonstration of how it can be used to deploy services, perform bursting and brokering, as well as mediate a cloud federation in the context of the OPTIMIS Toolkit.

When is Frontier the Best Option for an Internet or TV Plan?
Frontier has two big "pros". First, unlimited data — making them an excellent value for cord-cutters looking to binge Netflix without worrying about overage fees.[3]
Frontier is one of the last major wired broadband providers to offer unlimited data on all plans. Best of all, this is true regardless of video quality or network technology.
Combine that with the mobile viewing options on their Vantage TV bundles, and it's easy to see why Frontier is preferred by binge-watchers and sports junkies alike.
Frontier Internet/TV/Phone Bundles: Are They Worth the Money?
Internet-only Frontier PlansInternet-only plans from Frontier Communications are overall a solid value thanks to their unlimited data policy. The speeds tend to be slower on their DSL network areas (closer to 15–30 Mbps rather than the 50–150 Mbps usually available in fiber "FiOS" areas). However, compared to competing cable networks, the reliability of performance on their DSL networks is strong. It should definitely be more than enough to keep a household of streamers happy.
Internet + TV Frontier PlansFrontier's TV/Internet double play plans are a good deal for heavy TV watchers and entertainment-focussed families. However, they can be overkill for "the rest of us" since the pricing is on the steep side. Those who just want a basic plan with a few premium and sports channels should consider the DISH/Frontier package. Conveniently, this bundles satellite TV service from DISH into your monthly bill. Compared to Vantage, their service has more flexibility on economy plans.
Internet + TV + Phone Frontier PlansFrontier's landline digital phone service is comparable to current offerings from other major cable, DSL, and fiber providers. That's a good thing in our opinion, as phone service has improved dramatically across the board thanks to VoIP and Digital Voice options that enable futuristic features like unlimited long-distance calling.
DVR Options with Frontier DSL and Frontier FIOS
With Frontier Fios, you'll have two main DVR options; standard and premium. Both options include 500 GB of storage space, or 50 hours of HD content). They also both allow for recording on any TV, but there's a catch. Only one can have play, pause and rewind functionality with the standard offering (the premium option includes up to 10). The final (and biggest) difference? The standard option only allows for two shows to be recorded simultaneously, while the premium device offers 12.
For standalone Frontier, only one option is available; the whole-home DVR system, which allows for simultaneous recording of up to four shows, and includes one terabyte (1000 GB) of storage. This option is included with your cable TV package (or more accurately, the price is rolled into the overall TV charge so you can't see it or remove it).
Aside from letting you watch live TV on mobile with the Frontier app, Frontier is behind the trend on "smart TV" features like those offered by Verizon Fios or Xfinity X1.

How to Compare Frontier Deals
Frontier has a couple nice perks when it comes to contract options and installation options.
Tip #1: Contract vs Contract-FreeFrontier offers flexible month-to-month plans that are usually cheaper than their competitors. However, some customers we spoke to reported issues with confusion about whether they were on a contract or not. Unfortunately, this can potentially result in unwanted cancellation fees down the road. The lesson here is: don't take phone reps at their word, and always verify the fine print of your service agreement within 30 days of signing up for service.
Tip #2: Installation optionsFrontier bundles installation and some equipment fees with their Internet service. This is good news for the average user who would rather have a professional set up their home network rather than tweak it themselves.
Frontier's Main Strength: Reliable, Uncapped Bandwidth
What Frontier lacks in customer service they make up for in the reliability of their internet connections. Compared to a coaxial cable connection of the same speed (think Spectrum, Xfinity), Frontier delivers a reliable connection that won't slow down dramatically during peak use hours.
Since this holds true for their rural DSL networks, we generally recommend them over satellite service — especially for streamers.
How to Install Frontier Internet Service
Frontier has two options for installation, whether you're on a FiOS fiber connection or DSL/cable connection:
- Self-installation
- Technician installation
Frontier doesn't generally charge for Internet installation, so we recommend that customers take advantage of this offer and have a professional technician set up your home network. Even if you're using your own equipment, Frontier technicians will generally help get your service up and running and optimized. Working with a technician also helps if you're setting up a multi-room DVR or similar complex full-home TV system.

- Official instructions for Frontier DSL Internet installation
Frontier Router: Do I Have to Pay Extra to Rent?
Frontier is one of many providers across the US who now include a free router with your service. This isn't true for every service area or plan, but overall you can expect that your equipment fees will be zero or at least less than other major DSL/fiber providers. That said, using your own router can be preferable for customers who want to customize or optimize their home network for speed and functionality beyond the basic settings offered by a leased gateway device.
Overall, Frontier Communications is best suited to internet-only customers and busy family homes.
Internet-only customers will appreciate the affordable prices, reliable speeds, and unlimited data policy.
Family homes will benefit from the huge range of channels on the Vantage TV platform and the capable, multi-room DVR setup.

|Variable Displacement Pumps Market by Type (Piston and Vane), Application (Hydraulic and IC Engine), End-use Industry (Construction, Mining, Automotive, Agriculture, Plastic, and Material Handling) - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2021
|Published: July 28, 2016
|Content info: 152 Pages
The market size of variable displacement pumps is projected to reach USD 4.03 billion by 2021, registering a CAGR of 4.1% between 2016 and 2021. The growth is primarily triggered by its huge demand from the Asia-Pacific region and the growing end-use industries such as construction, mining, automotive, agriculture, and others. The liberalization of foreign trade & investments and the change in industrial policies have led to rapid industrialization in China for the past three decades. This, in turn, is contributing to the increasing demand for variable displacement pumps in the Asia-Pacific region.
Variable displacement piston pumps led the global variable displacement pumps market in 2015. Higher demand for piston pumps is due to the advanced technical properties and high performance. The dominance of variable displacement piston pumps is mainly due to its properties such as wide volumetric & pressure efficiency range and low weight. In addition, the increasing demand from the various end-use industries such as construction, automotive, agriculture, marine, and oil & gas is fueling the growth of variable displacement piston pumps.
Asia-Pacific is projected to be the largest and the fastest-growing market of variable displacement pumps, globally. This is mainly attributed to high economic growth, followed by heavy investment in the end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and agriculture. With economic contraction and saturation in the European and North American markets, the demand is shifting to the Asia-Pacific region. Moreover, with Chinese enterprises offering cheap labor and foreign enterprises providing advanced technologies, the variable displacement pumps market experiences significant growth in the region.

I'm not really sure what to write for the blog. I have been overwhelmed with other things, like papers and and strep throat and rapidly approaching Valentine's Day, that have kept me rather distracted. I think I have an idea for at least the next two pages of my story, though; I'll include a section from the homeless patient's point of view. I'm not sure how much he'll tell the audience about his backstory, but maybe he can at least hint at it. It seems like a good place to get the ball rolling on the actual plot of the story. So far I have a bunch of characterization.
Oh yes, and it's probably a good time to pray about my story again. If nothing else, this blog always reminds me to do that.

As city officials trumpet news of a multi-million dollar expansion of the CTA's Blue Line to O'Hare, state lawmakers from the Southside are once again wondering when the CTA will keep its promises to improve mass transit in their area.
"People who live in Skokie have a faster commute downtown than residents on the South Side," said state Senator Emil Jones III, chairman of the Senate Black Caucus. "For decades the CTA keeps saying it can't find money for the Red Line extension, but somehow it can find nearly half a billion dollars for the Blue Line."
Jones' frustration boiled over this week with the CTA's announcement of a $492 million plan to redo the Blue Line. Federal transportation officials flew in to announce a $120 million federal loan for the project.
Meanwhile, on the Southside officials are left wondering when the needs of their communities are going to be addressed. Since the 1970s community advocates, church and business leaders have pushed to extend the Red Line beyond its current stop at 95th Street. There have been CTA plans and studies, town hall meetings and training programs to prepare people for possible work.
And once again nothing has happened, even as millions of dollars are devoted to other parts of the CTA system.

Today, the Illinois Senate sided with the people of Illinois by passing legislation to increase the minimum wage. State Senator Emil Jones (D- Chicago) issued the following statement:
"Last November, the people of Illinois made their voices heard loud and clear by overwhelmingly supporting a minimum wage increase by referendum," Senator Jones said. "The cost of living is continually increasing, putting families at risk of being unable to keep up with their bills. Raising the minimum wage will help families cope with rising costs.

Springfield – A recent study conducted by the University of Chicago Crime Lab revealed that an initiative pushed by members of the Senate Black Caucus resulted in lower violent crime arrest during summer months. The initiative is called the Youth Employment Program, and it provided jobs for thousands of at-risk youth during the summer months.
Participants held a variety of jobs, ranging from camp counselors to administrative aides. A majority of the participants were from neighborhoods where unemployment rates are over 19 percent.
"Providing our youth with alternatives to being in the streets is necessary to ensure the next generation has the chance to thrive," said Senator Emil Jones III, Chairman of the Senate Black Caucus. "Moving into the next General Assembly, I hope Governor Rauner will take note and make funding for the program a priority.
