Today marks the launch of the long-awaited Payment Systems Regulator (PSR). Spearheaded by Hannah Nixon, the new regulator indicates that momentum is focused on enabling small, alternative payments players in the financial services industry to challenge traditional models.
The PSR has announced three key objectives:
- The competition objective is to promote effective competition in the market for payment systems and the markets for services provided by payment systems in the interests of service-users or likely users of payment services.
- The innovation objective is to promote the development of, and innovation in, payment systems in the interests of service-users and likely users of payment services, with a view to improving the quality, efficiency, and economy of payment systems.
- The service-user objective is to ensure that payment systems are operated and developed in a way that takes account of, and promotes, the interests of service-users and likely users of payment services.
Emerging Payments Association board advisor Rich Wagner, CEO and founder Advanced Payment Solutions (APS), believes that while this move is a positive step for the industry, more needs to be done to support non-traditional payments companies to access essential infrastructure. He points out that the payments ecosystem is still extremely complex – numerous interdependencies continue to make gaining access to payments systems operators a challenge for non-clearing banks. Alternative financial services players need to be supported with access to the Bank of England for a settlement account and system integration with Vocalink (or other competitive system integrator) that can provide the robust resiliency that payment providers need with pricing structures that smaller players can afford.
Rich comments:"I've been in the alternative payments industry for over 10 years and the Payment Systems Regulator is the biggest groundswell of thinking, momentum, regulation and political pressure that I've ever witnessed in this space.
"Along with the Emerging Payments Association, I applaud the core objectives of boosting competition and innovation in the payments sector. However, if these objectives are to be more than empty promises, there are many inefficiencies that need to be addressed. For access to services such as Faster Payments and BACS (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services), small and non-traditional banks and payment firms are still chained to the infrastructure of the UK's major banks.
"If we are to cut the reins of the country's biggest banks and allow new players to flourish on their own, the PSR needs to fight for direct access to clearing and settlement systems at a fair price for us alternative payments players. Financial equality across the whole ecosystem is required if we are to build a truly diverse industry that best responds to the needs of consumers and SMEs."

About Stephanie
I have been doing photography for over 20+ years (Shhhh I never reveal my age either..) I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend; I am a woman.
I adore being able to give women the chance to feel how beautiful they are, and in today's fast paced world, it is easy to forget about ourselves. I am far from the typical supermodel size 2 with perfect features and I've struggled with body image in the later part of my life. For many of us it is an ongoing battle, learning to love ourselves as we are. That is what I hope to accomplish with this business, to give women the chance to feel like a supermodel, feel gorgeous and empowered with the confidence this experience provides. To feel inspired--by themselves.
So if you would even consider it, just put down those worries, those insecurities, make the call, and let's bring out your inner SEXY!

Here is the new painting for the month of June 2019 "Little I'iwi"
12″x16″ acrylics on 22k gold and 24k gold, Bristol with a deep art resin pour over wood.
I'iwi's are live in the high mountains of the Hawaiian Islands and are found in the Ohi'a trees drinking nectar from its blossoms.
From Wikipedia:
The ʻiʻiwi (Drepanis coccinea, pronounced /iːˈiːviː/, ee-EE-vee), or scarlet honeycreeper is a "hummingbird-niched" speciesof Hawaiian honeycreeper. It is one of the most plentiful species of this family, many of which are endangered or extinct. The ʻiʻiwi is a highly recognizable symbol of Hawaiʻi. The ʻiʻiwi is the third most common native land bird in the Hawaiian Islands. Large colonies of ʻiʻiwi inhabit the islands of Hawaiʻi, Maui, and Kauaʻi, with smaller colonies on Molokaʻi and Oʻahu but are no longer present on Lānaʻi. Altogether, the remaining populations total 350,000 individuals, but are decreasing.

Out of Kelly tragedy must come the truth - article
The tragic and untimely death of the respected scientist and weapons inspector Dr David Kelly a fortnight ago came as a profound shock to everyone involved in Westminster politics. I know some will say that many people, including innocent Iraqi civilians, have already died because of the war in Iraq and that more are dying every day. But Dr Kelly's death would have at least been explicable if he had died in Iraq doing the job he loved most, heading a United Nations weapons inspection team. Instead his terrible death is, as yet, inexplicable. Appallingly, he appears to be more a victim of our political and media culture rather than a victim of the war.
I am a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee which met with Dr Kelly just two days before he died. Everyone associated with that committee, the MPs, the clerks, advisers and secretaries, everyone, feels a profound sense of grief at his death. And everyone has to look at their conscience and take their share of responsibility. Incidentally, the brief clips that have been shown on television bore little relation to the rest of the proceedings. One MP is shown asking rather aggressive and pompous questions, but in fact a glance at the Hansard shows that his anger was directed, not at Dr Kelly, but actually at the Ministry of Defence which he thought had set Dr Kelly up as a scapegoat. This doesn't excuse that MP's aggressive behaviour but it does shed a different light on it. The meeting lasted nearly an hour and, overwhelmingly, the tone was polite. It was the hottest day of the year and, as Dr Kelly was quietly spoken, the noisy air conditioning was switched off making everyone uncomfortably hot. But, as I say, the questioning was rigorous but polite apart from the now famous clip.
I have read that transcript over and over again, especially my own questions to Dr Kelly. I was trying to find out if he was the BBC's secret source of information. From the answers he gave me I'm sure that everyone on the committee felt that he wasn't – the answers he gave were wildly different from what the BBC said their source had told them. We found out three days later from the BBC that he was their source. It's worth remembering here what the BBC had claimed: that their source (posthumously acknowledged to be Dr Kelly) had told them that Alastair Campbell had exaggerated ("sexed up" is the BBC's phrase) the threat posed by Iraq in order to persuade reluctant MPs to vote for an unpopular war. It is the gravest of charges and one for which I have yet to see any evidence. It was this I was trying to get to the bottom of. I have tried, with hindsight, to work out if I should have asked different questions. I don't know, and all I do know is that I shall have to live with the questions that I did ask. I hope I didn't let you down. I have had a small amount of hate mail, none of it from people in Hyndburn. In fact, I've had nothing but kindness from people here. It is incredibly humbling and to everyone who has taken to trouble to be nice at a difficult time I want to say thank you.
Finally, out of this tragedy, Dr Kelly's memory deserves the truth. Were we lied to? Did Mr Campbell alter the September Dossier? Was the war justified on the basis of the intelligence available at the time? How accurate was the intelligence? I hope that the Hutton Inquiry finds answers to these questions. And I hope that the BBC can soon return to reporting the news accurately and fairly, rather making the news.

Now playing on Netflix is writer-director Mike Flanagan's (Oculus, Before I Wake) horror film Hush. The film stars Kate Siegel (who also co-wrote the script) as a reclusive writer that's retreated from society after losing her hearing as a teenager. One night, a masked psychotic killer appears in her window (John Gallagher Jr.), and what follows is a horrifying game of cat and mouse where only one can survive.
While the film takes place in one location, Flanagan has crafted a tense thriller that never slows down and constantly keeps you guessing as to what might happen next. It helps that the characters make real world decisions that feel organic and real to the situation. If you live well made thrillers, I definitely recommend checking it out on Netflix this weekend.
Last week I conducted an extended video interview with Kate Siegel and Mike Flanagan. They talked about their writing process, the way the film got made, how Die Hard influenced Hush, what they're working on now, why Ouija 2 will be better than the first one, the status of Before I Wake, and so much more.
Kate Siegel, Mike Flanagan:
- How Die Hard influenced Hush, and the writing process.
- On the gore balance, and the stakes that arise from the character's deafness.
- What's the movie that Siegel and Flanagan watch on a Friday night?
- Who did they show the Hush script to for notes and reactions?
- How they developed the second half of the script.
- The difference between the first and last cut of the film.
- Are there Easter eggs in Hush to tie into other universes or previous films?
- What Flanagan can tell people of Before I Wake in light of Relativity's bankruptcy claim.
- On what a pushed back release date really means.
- What Siegel and Flanagan are working on now, and their American Horror Story-inspired idea.
- On their involvement with Ouija 2, and why it is not the movie you're expecting.
- On the struggles of filmmaking.

I took two of my grandsons to Cold Wars 2019 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a couple of weeks ago. My 10-year-old grandson Aidan Mingus took a few shots of some of the games. Here are some of his images.
I took two of my grandsons to Cold Wars 2019 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a couple of weeks ago. My 10-year-old grandson Aidan Mingus took a few shots of some of the games. Here are some of his images.
Ian Fainges, Brad Smith, and the wargamers from Down Under (Australia) are back with another great 40mm American Civil War miniature wargame. This time, Ian has graciously sent me photos of their recent game depicting the battle of Helena, Arkansas, fought on July 4, 1863, during the Vicksburg Campaign. The Union victory secured eastern Arkansas for the Federal government for the duration of the war. The battle featured cavalry, a black regiment from Arkansas, infantry, artillery earthworks, and the USS Tyler, a riverine gunboat.
Here are some of the photos of this interesting-looking game!
Over the years, I have frequently mentioned my friend Dennis Morris, a talented dioramist and miniaturist from upstate New York. He created a wonderful diorama of the battlefield of Gettysburg that has drawn raves. He subsequently combined his talents of created miniature layouts of Gettysburg with his passion for photography to create "diographs," photographs of his dioramas.
Knowing of my interest in Civil War artillery battery commander, Charles Hazlett, who is buried in my hometown of Zanesville, Ohio, Dennis recently sent me an outstanding diograph of Hazlett and his men hauling a gun into position on Little Round Top. I admire the drama and action of this fine work.
Dennis sells his work though his website. Diographs make excellent wall hangings for your game room, man cave, den, or library!
Thanks, Dennis!
John Zabawa's Gettysburg Miniature Soldiers has long been a favorite stop for many wargamers, plastic toy soldier collectors, and those hobbyists who enjoy high-quality 54mm collectibles such as King & Country, Conte, Britains, etc. I always enjoy visiting with John; he's one of the true gentlemen of our hobby — very knowledgeable, strong on customer service, and well informed.
Recently, I stopped by his shop on Steinwehr Avenue on the south side of Gettysburg during a visit to town with some of my family members. The store, as always, is filled with eye candy — row after row of every kind of plastic army men and military toys that one can imagine, vintage Marx boxes from my childhood, shelves stuffed full of model kits, bags of unpainted wargaming figures, finished dioramas that will dazzle you, hobby supplies, and so much more. It's all here.
John has a back room where he maintains a large gaming table for the gamers who regularly meet in the store.
On my visit, he had a 15mm layout of Pickett's Charge set up, ready to play. Here are a few photos. I really like the custom-built Lutheran Seminary that he placed at the end for visual effect (yes, it was not on the field of the assault, but it is a cool-looking model, designed and built by very talented modeler Gary Manville).
A few years ago, I spent a delightful day driving and walking around the Gettysburg battlefield with two fellow wargaming and Civil War history buffs from Australia, Tim O'Connor and Brad Smith. Over the intervening years, in combination with their friend Ian Fainges, they have graciously allowed me to post some photos of their fantastic battles with 40mm Civil War figures.
Brad writes, "We recently gamed Valverde 1862. Ian took some photos and they are attached. It was a good fun 3 player per side game which the Confederates narrowly won (as per history). Its summer here and fighting a scenario based in the desert is thirsty work so we all made sure we had a beer when we broke for lunch."
Photos by Ian… used by written permission. Enjoy this look at the tabletop Battle of Valverde!
Cannonball reader Stephen Schultheis sent me some photos of his fantastic diorama of the Civil War battle of Pea Ridge, fought March 6-8 in northwestern Arkansas. The Union victory essentially allowed the Federal armies to recapture and hold the region for the rest of the War Between the States.
Here are some more photos, plus commentary from Stephen!
The latest Civil War book from Osprey is Atlanta 1864: Sherman Marches South, written by James Donnell with illustrations by Steve Noon.
From Osprey's website: "On September 3, 1864, Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman telegraphed the War Department in Washington, D.C., "Atlanta is ours, and fairly won." The capture of the heart of the south the day before was the end of a fiercely fought four-month campaign in the Western Theater of the Civil War and caused jubilation throughout the North. More importantly for the Union cause, it propelled President Abraham Lincoln to reelection two months later.
In this volume author James Donnell explores the entire Atlanta campaign, from Sherman's initial clashes with Joseph E. Johnston's army of Tennessee to the final Confederate resistance under General John Bell Hood. Perfectly complemented by specially commissioned artwork and detailed maps, this study takes the reader from the border of Georgia and Tennessee to Atlanta, with Sherman preparing for his famous March to the Sea."
Talented wargame scenario designer Brad Butkovich is among the upper echelon of today's generation of Civil War regimental-level wargamers. The Georgia-based Butkovich is well known to Charge! readers from his previous series of excellent scenario books, mostly based upon battles in the Western Theater.
Now, Brad has produced an interesting new booklet covering various actions at the July 1-3, 1863, battle of Gettysburg. It's an area of keen personal interest to me! Some of you may recall a two-volume set, Enduring Valor: Gettysburg in Miniature, which I wrote for my friend and graphic designer Ivor Janci more than a decade ago. They have long been out of print, so Brad's fresh look at the battle is much appreciated and timely.
Here is the table of contents for this book, which may be the first in a series (let's all hope!). Brad's research is compelling and accurate, and his take on how to break up the battlefield into bite-sized scenarios is of strong interest to Civil War gamers everywhere. The scenarios are adaptable for almost every major regimental-level rules set. They are designed for 15mm gaming, but of course can be modified for other figure scales. Brad also presents data for rules based upon 10-minute, 15-minute, and 20-minute time intervals per turn.

This year, new ingredients prevent frizz, keep lips glossy for hours, and fight lines and wrinkles.
In a laboratory just outside of Basel, Switzerland, a woman removes all of her makeup and steps into a white protective suit with a hood, mask, and gloves. It covers her entire body. She enters a small chamber where she is blasted with air to blow off excess dust particles. Then she steps into a large space with an air-filtration system that keeps the area free of any outside contaminants. And then Jason Bourne bursts through the door to destroy the smart bomb she's been building.
OK, not really. But in beauty, skin-care technology is becoming increasingly high-tech. The woman in the space suit is actually filling bottles for the Clinique Medical line, which needs to be perfectly pure when a woman applies it to her face before and after dermatological treatments. This fastidious attention to detail is seen in many of this year's breakthrough products.
Scientists and researchers at a number of companies have been scrapping formulas that have been relied on for decades, poring over new molecules in their laboratories (sometimes for years at a time) and testing ingredients over and over again. The results include an antiperspirant that gobbles up body odor as it forms on the skin, a laser that blasts away unwanted hair and is operated not by a doctor but by you, and a lip gloss that stays in place for six hours—not minutes. True, these products won't completely transform your life, but they'll certainly make you look better, smell nicer, and feel smoother.
No Frizz by Living Proof
WHAT IT DOES: Most fuzz tamers contain silicone, which smooths hair for a few blissful hours by keeping out moisture. But silicone can leave hair looking greasy and limp. Living Proof's new line contains a lightweight, nonsilicone molecule that coats and soaks into each strand, making it repel moisture more effectively, even after shampooing between uses.
HOW IT WORKS: As the founder of MIT's Langer Lab, a biomedical engineering lab, Robert Langer works on cures for medical challenges. But one day he turned his attention to frizzy hair. With a team of scientists from Living Proof, he realized water-vapor molecules can slip through silicone or the spaces between it and cause a return to fuzz. Searching for a better solution, he came across polyfluoroster, an ingredient used as a protective coating for contact lenses and DVDs. Unlike silicone, which usually sits on the surface of the hair, this new molecule plugs the gaps in each strand's cuticle like spackle, preventing moisture from penetrating the hair shaft. In company-sponsored studies, scientists reported that in a single use, No Frizz resisted moisture 30 percent more than leading silicone serums, and when used daily for five days (with washing in between to prevent oil and dirt from affecting the hair), it increased the hair's resistance to frizz by 60 percent. No Frizz has a total of six products: a spray, a cream, and a more emollient treatment cream, each of which comes in a formula for straight and curly hair.

Morgan's Raid
It is July 14th 1863,
You are a Union officer based in Columbus, Ohio and are tasked with uncovering Confederate Sympathizers in the North. Ever since Brigadier General John Morgan entered Union territory with his Calvary, things have been busy. Yesterday he was successful in crossing over into Ohio and began conducting raids of homes. He is posing such a threat that General Burnside declared Martial Law in Cincinnati. Things have gotten crazy… some rumors even say he is on the way to Columbus!
This morning you received a tip about the home and stables of a local barrister whose family is originally from Charleston, South Carolina. It is reported that the stables have been very busy at all times of day and night, and it is suspected that Southern dispatches are being routed through the home, possibly even top secret letters to Morgan himself. You discover that the family attends a special service at church every week, and this potentially creates an opportunity for you to search their home without compromising additional intelligence by arresting the family. Can you get in the home, and find information on where General Morgan is headed and any secret documents stores here before the family returns from service? Capturing General Morgan and his men could be the beginning of the end for the Confederacy!

What is Engage?
Engage is a web-based student engagement platform that provides tools and resources around student engagement and participation in activities outside the classroom. This summer, Engage will replace OrgSync as GW's student engagement platform.
Although the layout will look different, Engage will retain nearly all of the OrgSync tools to which organizations have become accustomed. Engage will also bring new capabilities to our campus, including mobile event check-ins, organization elections, rank-choice voting, and enhanced event planning tools. In addition to providing critical tools to student organizations, Engage also offers individual students the ability to document their own co-curricular experiences and develop a portfolio of involvement, including organization memberships, event participation, and leadership positions.
The Transition
The last day to access or update OrgSync will be announced.
Timeline and Important Dates
- Now- July 7: Keep Using OrgSync and maintain up-to-date information in advance of the migration. Note that the deadline to submit spending requests is May 20. Any spending needs after that date must go through your Assigned Staff Advisor or the Staff Advisor Team ([email protected]).
- July 7: Last day to access or update information in OrgSync. Between May and July, GW IT will be working to prepare the technical aspects of the Engage system.
- July 8: OrgSync goes offline
- July 8-9: Vendor migration of data from OrgSync to Engage
- July 17-19: GW campus administrators attend Engage Conference in Baltimore
- July 22-August 2: GW campus administrators work with Engage staff to complete training, complete set-up, and test new platform
- August 2-August 9: GW campus administrators develop guides and training materials
- Mid August: Engage GW available to campus community!
What information will automatically migrate to Engage?
Much of the information currently existing in OrgSync will be automatically transferred to Engage, including:
Organizational Portal Information:
- Membership Rosters
- People and Positions
- Current and past events
- Event attendance data (swipes)
- Forms and form submissions
- Documents and files
- Photos albums
- Budget information, including current budget as well as records of past budget requests for visibility into historic information
Individual Information:
- Current memberships
- Current and past event attendance
What information will not migrate to Engage?
OrgSync websites will not migrate and Engage does not include a website builder tool. Currently, our records indicate that less than 10% of our student organizations utilize the OrgSync website builder tool, so we hope that the loss of this feature will be of minimal impact. For those organizations that are impacted, please feel free to be in contact with us at [email protected] to discuss alternatives. In the coming months, we hope to provide more information to student organizations about website builder tools.
Where can I get updates or ask questions?
We will continue to update this webpage with important information and resources throughout the migration and in the fall. If you have questions, feedback, or concerns, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

I am excited to be part of a Fall Blog Tour for so many reasons! The first is that I am a huge fan of all of the talented ladies who are in this blog hop. (All of the links to their blog posts are listed at the end of this post.) And fortunately, I now have some fall decor in my home. It's hard to make the transition for fall when it's ninety degrees outside. But the minute I decorated our dining room table and added some fall decor, I knew I was ready. I love this color palette. And I love setting the table for fall.

Mother's Day Tablescape Blog Hop
Mother's Day is one of those holidays that my husband freaks out about. As the mother of his children, my husband thinks I should take the day off, do nothing and enjoy being spoiled. And yet, I always want to honor my mother on Mother's Day. Thus, my husband has no idea what to do!

Beyond "Don't Talk to Strangers"
On a recent Sunday morning in Santa Cruz, ten youngsters and their parents practiced saying "no" to some very tempting offers.
"I'll take you to the toy store and let you choose anything you want, if you just let me play with your hair," Irene van der Zande told one girl, who said, "No!"
Next, she offered a father a free trip to Hawaii "if you just do this one thing, even though you know it's wrong."
"No!" The dad replied.
As van der Zande went around the circle offering extravagant and sometimes comical bribes, the children and adults coached and applauded each other in their firm refusals.
The workshop was hosted by KidPower International, an organization that trains children and their parents in violence prevention and self defense. The workshops are designed to be fun, not scary, says founder and executive director van der Zande, and teach practical, everyday skills.
"We don't run away from hard issues," she says, "but we also don't want to traumatize kids." At the Santa Cruz workshop, kids four to eight practiced the "No Game" with their parents. Facing each other in pairs, they took turns yelling "No!" louder and louder. Some children snarled with mock ferocity, and others dissolved into giggles, while van der Zande coached, "From your belly, let's hear a strong, loud 'No!'"
Later on, the children practiced tossing hurtful words into an imaginary garbage can and checking with an adult before accepting a friendly invitation.
Family safety rules
Childhood safety depends on educating parents as well as youngsters, van der Zande says. KidPower encourages families to establish safety rules, such as checking with the adult in charge before going somewhere with someone, arranging where to meet if the family is separated, and making sure kids know what to do when they answer the door.
Boundary skills
In KidPower, children role-play three levels of setting boundaries: one child practices telling another to stop playing with her hair. Van der Zande demonstrates:
- "You look me in the eye, take my hand away, and say 'please stop playing with my hair.'"
- If that doesn't work, "Stand up, make a fence with your hands and say, 'I said stop.'"
- If the person gets offended, "You say, 'I like you and I want you to stop.'"
Rights and respect
The workshop "gives children permission, for example, to not talk to someone on the street, or to not go with someone even if they know that person," says John Luna-Sparks, a social worker at Children's Hospital in Oakland. And "a family member in the same workshop is also learning that, yeah, a kid does have the right to say no."
After participating in the program with his son and two daughters, Lloyd Latty says he realized that childhood safety begins at home, with parents respecting children's wants, needs and boundaries. "I think [the workshop] gave [kids] a vocabulary to express their feelings about what they wanted done or stopped and a sense of power to go with those feelings."
Confidence, not fear
Recent high-profile kidnappings have made many parents fearful. KidPower teaches them positive ways of talking about safety, van der Zande says, so children can learn the skills without absorbing adult fears. By doing role-plays with their children, for example, parents help them practice being assertive and setting boundaries.
"Most of the time people will not bother you if you walk with awareness and confidence," van der Zande says. "So we show what that means and the children practice." The more often children practice sticking up for themselves or checking with trusted adults, the more skills and confidence they gain.
Success stories
Jerilynn Shaker, East Bay program coordinator for KidPower, says she was surprised to hear her daughter speak up from the back seat one day, saying: "Daddy, you need to put your seat belt on. It's not a choice, it's about your safety."
Other parents have reported seeing their children stand up to bullies and avoid unwanted interactions with strangers using the techniques they learned in KidPower, says van der Zande. Now KidPower will have a chance to measure its effectiveness, thanks to an evaluation grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Research on similar programs has shown they do increase children's knowledge about how to handle difficult situations.
KidPower Tips:
Kids need to learn how to:
- Stand and walk with awareness and confidence.
- Keep safe distance from someone approaching them.
- Walk away from a stranger, even one who is being very nice.
- Say "no," using polite and clear words.
- Use eye contact and assertive body language.
- Check first even if someone says not to.
- Get help from a busy adult.
- Make noise, run, get to safety.
KidPower safety tips for parents
- Children are more likely to be harmed by someone they know than by a stranger.
- Children need clear safety rules.
- Ask your child often: "Is there anything you've been wondering or worrying about that you haven't told me?"
KidPower safety tips for children
- Most people are good.
- My job is to check with an adult in charge before I go anywhere with anyone, or let a stranger get close to me.
- I do not give personal information to a stranger or to someone who makes me feel uncomfortable.
- It's OK to get help from strangers in an emergency.
- I belong to myself—my body, my time, my spirit.
- Touch has to be both peoples' choice and it has to be safe.
- Touch for reasons of health or safety is not always a choice, but it should never have to be a secret.
- If I have a problem, I need to tell a trusted adult.

NAB's Gordon Smith Extends Contract Through 2016
National Association of Broadcasters President Gordon Smith
has re-upped for another five years with the trade association. That will take
him through 2016.
Smith, the former senator from Oregon, has been credited
with helping broadcasters get important interference and coverage protections
in incentive auction legislation.
"NAB membership is happy to have Gordon Smith
navigating our interests in Washington, and we're delighted that he's agreed to
this contract extension," said NAB Board Chairman Paul Karpowicz,
president of Meredith Corporation's Local Media Group.
"I'm thrilled by the vote of confidence by the NAB
Board and membership," said Smith in a statement. "As president of
NAB, I get a first-hand view of the indispensable role that local and network
broadcasters play in serving communities every day with news, entertainment and
life-saving weather warnings. Broadcasters take seriously our role as stewards
of the airwaves, and it is a privilege to represent a diverse membership with a
vibrant future."
The announcement comes as broadcasters prepare to convent in mid-April for their annual convention in Las Vegas.
Smith was tapped to succeed David Rehr as head of NAB in September 2009. Rehr had resigned the previous May, a former beer industry executive who had conceded he had felt like an outsider from the start.
Smith was anything but an outsider. He is a moderate Republican who also has good relationships with Democrats. As a former member of the Senate Commerce and Finance Committees, he knowsthe broadcast issues firsthand. He was also tapped into new media issues as former chair of the Senate's high-tech task force.

A storm system that looked unlikely at one point is now expected to bring several inches of snow to the state.
Chief Meteorologist Bruce DePrest said the latest model runs show this storm dumping several inches of snow on CT, and will be the fourth major storm in less than three weeks.
"This will likely be another big snow maker," DePrest said on Monday.
A Winter Storm Watch was posted for the entire state, going into effect late Tuesday night through Thursday morning.
The amount of snow expected has prompted Channel 3 to name this storm Winter Storm Genny (pronounced Jean-ie). Channel 3 has been naming winter storms since 1971.
Light snow may begin to fall during the Wednesday morning commute.
DePrest said the heaviest snow will fall in the afternoon and evening.
The snow will end in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday.
"Most of the state will see all snow, but there may be some mixing with sleet and rain for a period of time in Coastal and Southeastern Connecticut. The extent of the mixing will greatly depend on the exact storm track," DePrest said.
Preliminary snowfall totals show Litchfield County seeing 12+ inches of snow, with the middle of the state likely seeing between six and 12 inches of snow. The southeast corner will likely see between 3 and 6 inches of snow.
Scattered power outages are possible but it isn't expected to be a big problem in the state.
"There will be plenty of cleaning up to do Thursday morning, but weather conditions will continue to improve," DePrest said.

Norwegian Colt M1912 pistol (top). Note the slide stop lever (arrow) with extended thumb piece, characteristic of the M1914 pistol (bottom).
Donald B. Bady, in his book, Colt Automatic Pistols 1896-1955, states that Norway instituted tests of automatic pistols in 1909, and that those tests were concluded in 1912. At that time, the Norwegian government adopted what was essentially the U. S. M1911 pistol under the designation "Colt Automatisk Pistol Modell 1912."

Debtor financing is gaining continuous popularity to finance the growing businesses. It enables you to pay for the organizational expenses using the slow-paying invoices. It provides a flexible line of credit which depends on outstanding invoices and may be very beneficial for both small and large businesses.
Let us try to know more about Debtor financing, its working, and benefits in this article.
What is Debtor Finance?
Debtor Finance is a non-specific term alluding to items that store an organization by financing its invoices. It is also known as Cashflow finance. The two most basic types of Debtor financing are Invoice Factoring and Invoice Discounting. Both of these tackle the same issue and give same advantages. Be that as it may, they work in a different way and offer diverse features.
How Debtor Finance Works?
As a business conveys services to the customers, the solicitations invoices raised are sent to the financier. The financier then checks the invoices and advances up to 90 percent of the unpaid receipt esteem inside 24 hours. The business can then get to the accessible assets as required. The remaining rate of the receipt is paid to the business once the client receipt is fully paid, less a little charge.
The business can hold control of the accounting and accumulations capacities, or they can select the lender to control this capacity as a component of a full administration arrangement. Most Debtor Finance financiers offer online access to reporting, permitting the business to track installment receipts.
There are two types of Debtor Finance:
In this type the debtor or customer is informed on invoices that funds are directly payable to the financier. This is termed as Invoice Factoring.
In this type the debtor or customer is not aware of the fact that the funding being provided. This is known as Invoice Discounting.
Invoice Factoring:
Invoice Factoring is a disclosed finance facility intended to enhance an organization's Cashflow by transforming invoices into working capital. It gives speedy access to up to 90 percent of the estimation of verified Invoices. The remaining equalization, less charges, is made accessible to the business once installment is received from their customer. This facility is a recourse facility. The small businesses which have cash flow problems uses Invoice Factoring.
Invoice Factoring is normally given as a full administration arrangement, with obligation gathering, deals record organization and reporting gave to organizations who don't have their own credit administration assets. The lender's expert obligation accumulation administrations can help with gathering obligation expeditiously and proficiently. Be that as it may, with a figuring understanding set up it is still workable for a business to keep dealing with their own obligation gathering if craved.
Invoice Discounting:
The classified finance facility intended to enhance an organization's cash flow by giving financing against the organization's outstanding receivables is known as Invoice Discounting. It is used by the large companies which have a proper credit and collection procedure. It gives snappy access to up to 90 percent of the estimation of the confirmed Invoices. The remaining balance, less charges, is made accessible to the business once installment is received from their client.

Written by Eden H Roquelaire for Twin Peaks Freaks.
Warning: Contains spoilers for Twin Peaks Season 2.
James and Donna are two characters who get a lot of heat from fans, mostly for their naivete; but that naivete may have been a saving force in the series. They certainly have a lot of scenes that are rather difficult to defend (such as James leaving Donna alone in the woods after hearing that there is a murderer still on the loose, who just killed their friend), but it is necessary to remember, when considering James and Donna, that they are the absolute archetype of the young and naive, who believe love will solve everything, and who behave selfishly without realizing it. While some find these characteristics to be irksome, I believe, ultimately, it helped with creating the overall ethos of Twin Peaks, which we all love so much. Without a little light in the darkness, the atmosphere of Twin Peaks would be too oppressive: That is why it was so important to have small points of light peppered throughout the darkness, including the offbeat humor, Cooper's strict morality, and the little bits of tender sweetness displayed by the characters.
Out of all the characters, Donna and James, along with Mr and Mrs Palmer, are probably the most devastated by the loss of Laura, and their grief moves them to the conviction that, as the only ones who really loved Laura, they are the only ones who can properly investigate her murder. This conviction can be attributed to the belief that love can and will solve everything. It is important to note that this is how the characters start out, and the progression of their arc is affected by the way this conviction is slowly destroyed through the course of the series, as more and more horrible things come to light, and James and Donna must face that their love cannot save their world.
Donna and James are a representation of what the town of Twin Peaks is at its heart, and what it stands to lose if Cooper does not save it from BOB. They represent innocence, naivete, and love. Both make many bad and rash decisions, but that is characteristic of being young and inexperienced. Their love story was purposely schmaltzy and over-the-top because it had so much darkness and brutality to balance out. I also took it as a bit of a parody of the over-the-top drama of teen exploitation classic Rebel Without a Cause.
"Donna was a small sad, dull, boring, routine and comatose," says Lara Flynn. "But there's a lot of glow underneath. She's one of those girls who took her teenage years a small bit too seriously. Everything Donna does is unequivocally urgent. It's life or death. Like Natalie Wood in Splendor in a Grass."
-Lara Flynn Boyle (Source: Breaking News Today)
James was not necessarily your classic "James Dean – Rebel Without a Cause," nor was Donna his Natalie Wood to a T, but both were obviously built off of these classic, stereotypical roles: The Bad Boy Biker, and the Good Girl in Love Gone Bad. James slowly becomes disillusioned with his home town and eventually drives away, while Donna becomes more and more distrustful as the boy she loves leaves her, and she finds out her parents have been lying to her. Their characters fit into the neo-noir/neo-50s style that David Lynch is so fond of, and their character progression reflects the way the town itself is slipping from innocence as this dark force begins to corrupt it.
When Maddy starts to "come between them," it is another symbol of the corrupting force of evil dwelling within the town, which is turning Maddy into Laura to cause strife, and eventually kills her before she can escape. Maddy's arrival also stirs up feelings of jealousy in Donna, who unconsciously starts to see her as Laura, and thus as someone who could steal James away from her. In her desperation to keep James, Donna begins to try and act more like Laura — almost as if she is trying to "Out-Laura" Maddy. The consequence is oddly humorous, especially as a woman who has done something very similar and equally as foolish. People like to exasperatedly look down on her character for this arc, but it always served as one of my favorite Donna story-lines, as it represents a phase that many young women have gone through during the desperation of young love.
James and Donna also keep us tied to Laura, who is arguably the main character of Twin Peaks, or at least the beginning and the end of its story. More importantly, James and Donna keep us connected to the Light side of Laura, the part of her that was innocent and longed to do good, and to be loved and helped. Characters like Jacques, Ben Horne, Blackie, Leo and BOB remind us of the Dark side of Laura, all the secrets she kept, all the reprehensible things she got into and that eventually killed her. If Twin Peaks was only the story of a bad girl who was murdered as a consequence of being lewd or doing drugs, it would be depressing, and rather shallow. However, when you also pay mind to the sweet and loving side of Laura, the side that Donna knew best, the side that James loved, the story becomes more compelling, and more of a debate not about what is good and what is bad, and not a tale of punishment for perceived wrongdoings, but a story that delves deep into human nature, and the constant battle in our psyches between our light (public) selves and our dark (secret) selves.
What makes us who we are? Is it how we act when no one is there to tell us not to? Or the way we act when we are moved by the presence of our loved ones? The answer is, both, and more. Everything we do makes up who we are as a whole, and Twin Peaks is a work that brilliantly investigates this identity crisis, and the striving for wholeness.
When Twin Peaks was prematurely curtailed in 1991, James was out exploring the world and perhaps discovering the light again for himself, while Donna was facing more of the harsh darkness of the truth, learning that her real father is the despicable business man Benjamin Horne, whom her mother was having an affair with. Donna's father, enraged, shoves Ben, who falls and hits his head. Afterwards, we see Doc Hayward tending to the injured Cooper, and not in jail for murder, which is a good indication that Ben is probably still alive. However, what this means for the future of the Haywards is debatable. The last we see of Donna, she is screaming hysterically, halfway out the door to leave her family home. Was Donna going to find James? Would she stay in Twin Peaks, or would she go on travels of her own? Would she end up getting back together with Mike? Hopefully we will get some answers soon…

I liked the sound of this place before I went down to Bank to try out one of their classes. PROJECT FIT. Now that's the type of project I wanna manage. Gantt chart, SMART objectives and everything.
The gym, on paper, ticks all the boxes. High intensity? Tick. Dance music and darkness? Tick. Shouty athletic man you will inevitably find yourself weirdly attracted to? Tick. In fact, the gym is SO shouty that Tatler named Project Fit its 2015 favourite shouty gym for strength work. Needless to say, I was excited.
Fit people
Joel Hilton and Ben Staines, resident fit people and co-founders of Project Fit, launched the gym back in 2014 with 3 rules in mind: run with heart; move with passion and purpose; and give it everything you have. By the end of the session you will have no doubt why these are the rules of Project Fit.
The reception area is a shop come locker room come smoothie bar, which makes for a comfortable, easy environment. There is one studio, which makes for an all too common gym-based social scenario – the traditional meeting of smug class leavers with the anxious newbies about to enter. Some can't handle the situation and turn and run. I, personally, find it motivating. We too, anxious newbies, are in for a fitness challenge like no other! Rejoice!
The studio itself, I have to say, won't do much to allay the fears of anybody new to high intensity classes. It is industrial, dark and with a DJ booth that even Pete Tong would be proud of. But it is also an honest and very fitting environment for the work out Project Fit seeks to deliver – intense, sweaty and motivating.
Walk, jog, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
The instructor was very welcoming, and asked all newcomers to come to the front for a quick brief before the workout kicked off in earnest – a nice touch and useful for those who may be feeling a little anxious about the 45 minutes ahead of them.
The group is split into two, with one group on the treadmills and the other on the floor. There are three levels to the class: walk; jog; run. This creates the feeling of a somewhat personalised workout which is no small feat in a class of 15 or so people – you make the class what you want to and so it is good for beginners and the more experienced alike.
The treadmill sessions were hard but extremely rewarding (think high intensity intervals at your fastest pace with varying degrees of incline throughout). The floor session was also tough, with plenty of squats, core work, press ups and arm strengthening moves, although it might be tricky to keep up if you aren't a regular gym goer. The whole session was very well rounded, and no part of me felt unworked by the end.
Project… hit?
The final hurdle of the session was the stairs back up to street level – pretty gruelling after such an intense fitness class. I can't help but think Ben and Joel thought that through when choosing the place…
Other than that, Project Fit is an all round success, and the rates aren't so bad either (first class free, £15.00 per class and a number of credit bundles/unlimited monthly rates thereafter). I can absolutely see why it has become so popular and would urge any reader to give one of their classes a go.
Project Fit, 36 – 28 Cornhill, EC3V 3ND

Have you come to that point in your life when you feel like this day is simply dull and there's nothing really interesting around you, not even the conflicting thoughts inside your skull. It is an ordinary boring day. Then all of a sudden you hear a guy with his distinct voice, singing an unknown song as he plucks each string of his guitar creating an unknown mesmerizing melody, and then you break down in tears, sobbing heavily. You're weeping. Your soul is dripping out of from your body in each crystalline tear that you shed. You cry a lot but you don't understand why! It's not even because of your period, or hormonal imbalance, and it's not even symptoms of any psychological disorder. Have you ever experienced something like that?
Don't worry. You're not a full-blown emo. Things like that happen. And it just happened to me.
In the Philippines we call it 'senti mode'. It means a particular moment where you just sit down to relax and listen to the saddest love songs that remind you of your past broken relationships and those opportunities and lovers you left behind. And eventually you will cry. 'Senti mode' isn't something that's automatic. You set your heart and mind to do something stupid like that.
In my case it was different. I was totally unprepared for it.
This is what happened. I was checking my favourite radio dj Mo Twister's blog one night. He posted a video of him hosting a radio program with Johnoy Danao, a Filipino recording artist, as his guest. The guy played the song "Ikaw at Ako" ('You and Me').
The intro of the song undid something in my heart. And as the words of the song flowed on, so as my tears from my eyes started to fall down. I was crying like crazy! It was a full-on senti mode session and I knew it was so gay!
It never happened to me before, not even with my favourite musicians and bands. I think I just listened to the first two lines of the song and it just destroyed me. There's this title of Roberta Flack's song, "Killing Me Softly", now I know what it means when she said, "killing me softly with his song."
It's embarrassing really, but what the heck! I just love pure talent!
I'm not sure if he's very popular in the Philippines. If not, well he deserves to be known because he's a very talented singer and songwriter. I might order a copy of his album.
You can download his songs from iTunes or order a copy of his album from his website- johnoydanao.com
Listen to it! Let's support Filipino artist! Galing talaga! Pinoy ang dating!

It was a busy weekend for the English Premier League. There were big-time match-ups, breaking news, milestones reached, entertaining games and Birmingham continues to use their magic talisman.
It was a predictable and wild weekend in the Premier League. Let's look back at some of the action and future implications of the results.
Manchester United Run Rampant At The Emirates
Arsenal looked poised to open the scoring against Manchester United on Sunday. Arsenal was controlling play early and Andrey Arshavin was running circles around Wes Brown and the United defense. He had two early chances, but missed wide twice, and those missed chances cost Arsenal. If they could have taken the early lead and played the controlling football they are capable of, then the game might have been out of reach for Manchester United.
But United went on the score sheet first with blistering pace in a counter-attack. Nani, of all people, crossed in a chip shot through the Arsenal box searching for Ji-Sung Park on the back post only to have it tipped in by Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia.
The 1-0 lead for Manchester United didn't relieve the Arsenal pressure. Arsenal had a few chances and controlled play for four minutes after the goal. Then came another blistering counter. Nani lead the charge again exposing the overlaps of the Arsenal wide defenders. In his run he created a chance for Wayne Rooney who came up the middle of the pitch with power and a finishing touch. The 2-0 lead was a shock for the Arsenal fans who thought they well deserved the lead.
With the 2-0 lead Manchester United used their strength in the midfield to control the game and slow down the Arsenal attack, they no longer had to rely on their strong defending and could explore a little more and posses the ball better as the Arsenal left and right backs stopped straying so far forward. The game became a Paul Scholes showcase. He controlled the midfield in the attacking end with his pinpoint passing and in turn ended Arsenal's chances to turn the tide quickly.
Ji Sung-Park's goal after the break put the game out of reach and Arsenal could only cheer after Thomas Vermaelen put in a consolation goal in stoppage time.
For all of Arsenal's early pressure it was obvious they were missing a big time striker with power and strength that would navigate in the Manchester United box and put in a decisive strike. If Wenger was sure his squad could win the Premier League title this year then he would have surely spent some money in the transfer window to secure a fit and powerful striker to help out the likes of Arshavin and Cesc Fabergas get space and opportunities.
As for Wayne Rooney, he is the top striker in England right now. He is powerful, dedicated and skilled. What makes him better than the likes of Torres, well he isn't as flashy but he stays on the pitch for longer periods of time. If Torres could stay healthy he would surely be the top-scorer, but he doesn't have the same work-rate as Rooney.
And Manchester united is nipping at Chelsea's heels again, watch out they will make a run here and may take over the top spot sooner than later if they keep playing the way they did on Sunday.
Birmingham City Stun Spurs
Tottenham had the game in the bag. They were up 1-0 going into stoppage time after a beautiful goal from the Crouch and Defoe pairing in the 69 minute. But Tottenham couldn't hold off the Birmingham attack and the relentless push forward.
Birmingham's work rate will impress anyone that watches the club play. They work hard on the defensive side and then juggernaut their way forward with not so much class as good positive football with movement, short passing, and a big supply of power. Birmingham makes you work and they wore out Tottenham and in the 90 minute they put in an equalizer, keeping them in contention for European football next year and putting a slight damper on the high spirits at White Hart Lane as the fourth spot in the EPL looks harder and harder to hold on to.
Birmingham is a stingy squad, they are letting in 1.00 goal per game and at home they are conceding less a than a goal a game (.566 GAA). But they struggle to score goals themselves, and it showed during the Tottenham match, they didn't have a finishing element to them. Birmingham is averaging less than a goal a game and it is the main reason why the club was going after strikers during the transfer window. Sadly for the Birmingham fans the club was unable to grab a top-flight striker and will have to keep up on the defensive effort for the rest of the season. It won't be pretty, but the club will be around next year and may be able to grab a few players come the summer to help expand their strike force.
Oh John Terry You Hound
Is John Terry England's Manny Ramirez? I won't go that far but the rumors about Ramirez sleeping with teammates wives around Boston weren't short on supply. And it is no surprise that he isn't the only professional athlete sleeping around when he was supposed to be focused on playing the game. It isn't any of our business as fans to care what players do int heir romantic lives (unless it is illegal and unsafe, we spend tons of money to watch them play, they better be on the field when we watch), but it will always make headlines.
I am on Wayne Bridges side here with his teammates because when your friend sleeps with your girlfriend (now his ex) it can turn your stomache and cause huge ripples in all parts of your life. You lose faith in your friends and the people in your life. I think it was a great statement by his teammates at Manchester City to support him in such a warm way.
As for Terry, it doesn't surprise me he slept with Bridge's ex. What surprises me is that after she chose Terry over all the other eligible men on the squad. And no sex scandal can be anything like the what Tiger Woods got caught doing at Thanksgiving, because not many people will have those type of stories in such abundance, I don't care who you are.
As for Terry's captaincy for England, I think he should keep it as long as the other players on the squad see him as the captain. It isn't a manager's decision or an FA board's decision. It is his teammates decision, they are the one's he is representing and playing alongside. Fabio Capello should let them chose who their captain is like a high school team because the drama of high school apparently never goes away.

Kanban Misconception: Kanban is Only a Board
Jenny Stuart
Construx VP of Consulting
Many people think Kanban means using a simple board with To Do, Doing, and Done columns. For a single person managing his or her work alone, a board that simple is appropriate. For a team of people, the board needs to their work and workflow. What steps and stages does the work move through?
For example, an operations team that does both keep-the-lights on sustaining work as well as creates new infrastructure to support a system might have a board like the following:
There is great value in understanding and visualizing the work of a team, program, or portfolio. However, you leave a lot of opportunities to optimize value delivery if you stop there.
Beyond establishing a board, I recommend teams:
- Set explicit work in progress (WIP) limits to implement what's known as a "pull" system—a work item is moved to the next stage only when there is capacity in that next stage for the work. WIP limits help unburden individuals and improve flow by having an amount of work in the system that optimizes cycle time. Cycle time is the time from when the work enters the first column until it's complete
- Set policies for the system. At a minimum, consider stage exit or entry criteria make it clear what needs to occur before work is considered done. Beyond that, there can be policies related to the overall board.
Kanban includes Kanban boards, but it is much more than that.

Kawhi Leonard Seen Wearing His Own Jersey On Vacation
by Larry LeoFebruary 21, 2020
© Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports
Clippers star Kawhi Leonard isn't your typical NBA star. He's quiet, not on social media, doesn't have much of a personality and he wears his own jersey when on vacation...
Filed Under: NBA
Further to my last post, he's wearing his game shorts, too. I guess I was right in my assessment.
I was thinking the same thing. He might've lost his bags and This is all he has
1 month
I have an lsu Jersey with my last name that I wear often. Several times people have asked me what position I played. It's pretty cool.
If I made it in the NBA, NFL or MLB best believe I would wear my jersey sometimes.
Good job Larry. At least no Kids died in this article like your earlier post this week with the car fire incident
