as reported in my post "has it been six months yet?", tom friedman has a problem with deadlines. but matthew yglesias, who's currently playing guest host in josh marshall's stead at talking points memo, reports that he's not the only one dithering:
yglesias: beyond poking fun at people, there's a serious issue here. voters are upset about how things are going in iraq. so democrats want to criticize the bush iraq policy. this means they must agree that things are going very badly in iraq. but the consultant class along with various others has determined that calling for withdrawal is a losing strategy. consequently, democrats find themselves arguing that iraq is perpetually on the brink of total disaster as a result of bush's policies, but never, ever, ever actually goes over the tipping point of becoming the sort of lost cause where the main american goal has to be cutting our losses.
i think an important distinction needs to be made between those like friedman who insist that we're always six months away from the crucial deciding factor for staying or withdrawing from iraq, and those insisting that iraq is always on the brink of disaster. while it's certainly possible that a situation can teeter precariously for an indefinite period, it's certainly not practical to allow a period for making a crucial decision to remain open indefinitely. the first concerns conditions that may be outside one's control, but the second is about conditions when one actually takes control.
so those who continue to claim that iraq is at the tipping point could still be right (although i personally don't believe so; i believe civil war began last year); but friedman proved himself wrong years ago. either iraq has hit his magic milestone, obligating us to stay, or iraq hasn't, obliging us to leave, but to continue to move the goalposts and insist that it's not yet time to make a decision is to indulge in a most disingenuous and deadly game of procrastination.
friedman's six months has expired five times already. so, to paraphrase nixon, it's time for everyone to shit or get off the pot.

Diwali is the time for happiness and celebration. It is the Indian festival of light and light in today's modern world is more than just 'diyas' and lamps- Firecrackers have come to. be an integral part of Diwali celebrations. They are quite the sight to behold but underneath all the visual scenery created by firecrackers, they are also a source of air pollution. Ever wondered what creates those stunning visuals? – Copper, Cadmium, Aluminum, Sulphur, and Barium, amongst other elements, are behind it, resulting in the emission of nitrogen oxides and Sulphur dioxide.
The recent Supreme Court verdict to ban the sale of firecrackers till November 1st shows the severity of the situation. Last year, PM2.5 levels reached to more than 1200 in certain parts of the capital during the festivities season whereas the World Health Organization annual average level is below 10. The annual average of PM2.5 for the capital region is 122, making it the 11th most polluted city in the world. But Diwali saw those figures dangerously jump up to ten-fold. The capital region is not the only place where this phenomenon occurs, it's the story of every region during the festivities season.
From the above graph, we can see that post-Diwali there is an increase in the air pollution in Delhi and as such, in every other place where Diwali is celebrated. Running is an integral part of life for those are conscious about their health and fitness and given that the outside scenery is core to running, people mostly go for running outside as compared to indoors. A majority of us run either on a regular basis or occasionally.However, the post-Diwali spike in pollution makes this a complicated matter as the increase in pollution may make outdoor running detrimental to one's health.
Here are some tips that can help you combat the post-Diwali pollution and also keep up your daily running.
- First advice would be to avoid outdoor running and instead stick to indoor exercises or join some gym or fitness class for the time being. Even, sticking to alternate forms of exercises at home is advisable. After all, running outdoors in the pollution would defeat the very purpose in the same place it adversely impacts your health.
2. If indoors is not an option, then it's time to decide if your regular place for running is suitable post-Diwali or not. It is best to avoid public parks, roads and or any place that is close to places where-ever Diwali celebrations were being done. There's always a chance of wastage from the celebrations not being cleared properly. Go for parks or jogging trails away from the hustle of the crowd and places which have fewer pollutants. However, selecting the place for running isn't all, it is important to keep in mind about the commute too. Avoid places which require you to go through highly polluted areas. If there's no avoiding commuting via such places then do so at least with your windows rolled up and for two-wheelers and pedestrians use a facemask (N95 respirators being the most effective) or at least use a cloth to cover the mouth and the nostrils.
3. It is a well-known fact that pollution is higher in the evening than compared to in the morning. As such, it is advisable to run in the morning and avoid doing so in the evening.
4. Given the increase in pollution levels, it is best to wear clothes covering the skin and lessening the exposure of the skin to pollutants. However, it would not be effective in eliminating exposure of pollutants to our respiratory system.
5. Despite what measures one takes, one is bound to face some degree of pollution while doing running outdoors. In order to tackle this exposure to pollution, food can play an important role. Foods can help fight inflammation and boost our immunity systems which help combat air toxins. Garlic, Onion, green leafy vegetables and fruits rich in Vitamin A & Vitamin C are your best bet to fight against pollution.
6. Also, do not forget to drink more water than usual and tea helps too. Water helps to flush out toxins which may have entered our body and also keeps the skin healthy.
7. It goes without saying that if despite all these measures you find yourself develop or signs of any respiratory issues, do not hesitate to immediately rush to a hospital emergency.
People's awareness regarding air pollution peaks during the festivities season but unfortunately air pollution is something that is present throughout the year. People alone are not to be blamed for this as Diwali season is the time when regulatory bodies are driven in the panic mode and do the maximum amount of promotional activities to increase awareness regarding air pollution. The tips mentioned should be followed throughout the year to keep yourself safe and healthy.
Diwali is the festival of light and it should be celebrated as such- light diyas and lamps and spread the light of joy and life this Diwali season. Help celebrate a clean Diwali and keep running.

Direct TELEVISION has been an innovator ever because it was founded back in 1994 to reap the benefits of revolutionary satellite know-how that allowed hundreds of channels of tv to be supplied to tens of millions of individuals throughout North America at prices they could afford. Nonetheless, the December 2012 launch of the "second model" of Kwangmyŏngsŏng-three was profitable, putting the DPRK's first confirmed satellite into orbit. Navigational satellites are satellites which use radio time indicators transmitted to enable mobile receivers on the bottom to determine their precise location.
The telemetry subsystem (aka Command and Knowledge Dealing with, C&DH) displays the on-board equipment operations, transmits equipment operation information to the earth management station, and receives the earth management station's commands to perform equipment operation adjustments.
Some are launched at sea from a submarine or a cell maritime platform , or aboard a airplane (see air launch to orbit ). A satellite tv for pc is an object in area that orbits or circles around a bigger object. Surrey Satellite Know-how US LLC is an entirely owned subsidiary of Surrey Satellite tv for pc Know-how Limited (SSTL) an independent British firm throughout the Airbus Defence & House group.
As the cost of manufacturing and launching satellites into house decreases, and as the high quality of the imagery and information improves, the number of tasks linking satellite tv for pc applied sciences with improvement will develop dramatically, Zolli stated.

Hello, everyone! This is Alaa, covering for my colleague Rawan on this week's article of "What's Trending".
This week, social media was, as always, very productive when it comes to interesting videos, hilarious posts, and very engaging topics. Here's this week's list of the trendiest material we've found on the internet:
و دول اتنين ماخافوش من نظرة الناس ليهم و قرروا يبسطوهم النهاردة. #من_غير_فلترة في المترو.#thisisEgyptAhmed Nihad Nagham Eldeeb
Geplaatst door Amr Adil op Zaterdag 18 maart 2017
As we all know, Egyptians have a flare for fun, music, and chilling. So, if you happened to be riding the metro on the 18th of March 2017, you might have met these two Egyptians who felt the sudden urge to get out their guitars, warm up their vocal chords and sing for the people on the metro. The song is called "أنتيكة" and, to no one's surprise, everyone joined the chorus. You can catch the video on Amr Adil's Facebook page. This is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
A group of Zamalek residents have taken it upon themselves to raise awareness against private businesses which are apparently destroying the beloved island. On their Facebook page titled "Save Zamalek الزمالك تنتفض", residents have called out against floating restaurants and unregistered cafes, under the pretext that they crowd out the island, bring about harassment, and expose the increasing rates of corruption and bribery that lead to unregistered restaurants and cafes being built. Scoop Empire has a story on the campaign which you can read here.

Geplaatst door Vodafone Egypt op Maandag 20 maart 2017
Mother's Day was celebrated on the 21st of March, this past Tuesday, and everyone was in mother-loving mode – especially Vodafone, with its tribute to mothers in this touching video. The idea behind the video is that if mothers had it their way, they would take their children's places, if it meant it would make things easier for the children. So, why not on Mother's Day do something for her if it means making things easier for her and making her happy…? It's a very beautiful video with a touching message which we need to be aware of: we will do anything to make our mothers happy.
Social media figure Nurhan Abou Bakr stirred a lot of controversy this week at the UN's Women Assembly by stating that the woman's strength is not equal to that of 100 men, but that of a million strong woman. What made me roll my eyes were two things:
- Why measure the strength of women to that of men in order to quantify it? Why not mention that women are women; that they are strong in their own way without having to resort to useless comparisons? This Facebook page shared my exact sentiment; while applauding Nurhan on her effort, they also saw that women are not a unit of measurement but beautiful creatures on their own.
- Being a man myself, and a feminist at heart, I still don't get it why men always find a way to make it all about them. Like this 'meninist' who thought it's funny, or politically correct, to take Nurhan's words and turn them into a messed up mathematical equation that has a man's strength measure up to be equal to that of 10,000 strong women. What!? I may have missed the point of his post but that is just plain stupid.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year or two, Beauty and the Beast just came out last weekend and it's causing quite a stir with the musical community, as well as Disney fans. The Beauty and Beast Facebook page just shared a 360 degree video of the "Be Our Guest" sequence, and it's just whimsically amazing. If you haven't seen the movie, then this video is sure to get you more excited for it; if you have seen it, well why don't you pull up a chair and relive this moment?

What is the difference between Fibre Broadband (FTTC) and a dedicated Fibre Leased Line?
Which is best for your business?
Well, the answer depends on a number of factors:
- Your use of the Internet,
- The number of users you have
- How critical the internet is to your operations
Before we get into that, let's look at a few differences between these two services.
Why is there such a significant price difference between Fibre Broadband and Leased Lines?
People see the cost of an 'up to 80Mbps' Fibre Broadband service and compare this to a 10Mbps Leased Line service and wonder why a 'slower' Leased Line service costs more.
Well, for starters, the Fibre Broadband 'up to' speed isn't a guarantee; it's an estimate of what they will get in the best case scenario.
A Leased Line speed delivers what it says it's going to deliver, 50Mbps is 50Mbps, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, uncontended, dedicated to them. Its cost is based on three main factors:
- Location – The greater the distance, the higher the costs. Initial installation costs are also be affected by how much infrastructure is already in the area and how complicated it will be to deliver a dedicated Fibre line direct into their premises
FTTC, on the other hand, is delivered through the local cabinet. Availability is dictated by whether that particular cabinet has been upgraded to provide FTTC
- Bandwidth–More bandwidth equals more cost. Leased Line providers like our supplier (Chicane Internet) use a selection of different carriers. Certain carriers will make the cost of particular bandwidths more attractive, so you should always get a selection of speeds and carriers on your quote.
It's also worth noting that Leased Lines provide symmetric upload and download speeds (FTTC is still an asymmetric service). If you run cloud or web-based applications (i.e. they are uploading large amounts of data to a central area) the contended, asymmetric nature of FTTC is not fit for purpose
- Competition–Being based in the middle of a city, or a remote rural location has a big effect. Generally the more rural, the fewer the number of carriers available, and therefore less competition fighting for the business. So prices are keener in highly populated business hubs than rural locations
How you use the internet
A Leased Line option might be best if:
- You have a large number of users
- You use cloud or web-based services to run your operations
- Your organisation will lose revenue if your Internet connection goes down
If your internet connection is business critical, you should opt for the Leased Line.
This is because it comes with a full-Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Service Level Guarantee (SLG) while also giving you automatic failover in the event of an outage and a four hr response time to service issues.
FTTC has the same SLA as Broadband (i.e. any service issues or outages are responded to by Openreach engineers on a best efforts basis), which could be one day or five days, as there is no SLA/SLG with this service.
Hopefully, that has given you a bit more of an idea about which option is best for your business.
For an informal discussion about your business connectivity and which solution may be best for you, give me a call on 01449 770704 or email Shelli on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mammoth Ski & Racquet #M-113
– When it comes to the Mammoth Ski & Racquet complex, I know a lot of us think stairs, stairs, and more stairs. But not with this unit! From the garage parking it is only five stirs to the front door. Piece of cake! And because of how the complex sits on a hill, this unit has fantastic mountain views to the southeast. With great proximity to Canyon Lodge, you can be skiing/snowboarding without having to go too far. Or walk over to the Village Gondola to go grab some breakfast and coffee in the Village. This particular unit has been beautifully remodeled and is a corner unit with south facing windows that bring in all the natural light.

Get lawn care in North Richland Hills by
A Man And His Mower
Completed Work Gallery4 Images
This Pro Story
started completely as a way to make some extra money and to help 2 widows that live in the neighborhood I take pride in my work so word traveled fast and I found myself actually in business before I knew what was happening. Today, I stick to the same standards and rely heavily on "word of mouth" referrals. I've actually never had a complaint and maintain a 90% repeat customer rate.
Lawn & Yard Services Offered:
How many years have you been in landscaping business, and what inspired you to get started?
I've been in business since June of 2015. I got into it because I ran into a commercial lawn mower for next to nothing so I decided to start doing my neighbors lawn. It wasn't long before I started getting so much business that I actually had to either stop taking jobs or quit my full time job and embrace the landscaping opportunity. So I took a leap, started advertising and offering discounts for referrals and annual contracts and now I'm making about 4 times the amount that I was making in my previous field of employment. It was a struggle at first but now I have so many repeat customers that i am truly happy and by the grace of God I continue to be blessed and pay my blessings forward by volunteering for the salvation army angel tree program from thanksgiving up until Jan 5th every year.
How does your work stand out from other lawn service companies in the area?
I don't use equipment that can do the job faster, I use the equipment that offers the highest quality of end result. I keep my company small and only hire people that have an eye for detail. I pay my guys very well in order to maintain the highest quality output and to keep company moral high.
What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
Its not about who can do it for cheaper, is about who can do it with a guarantee that you'll be satisfied.
What do you like most about the lawn care industry?
I love taking on a challenging property and turning it into something amazing and keeping the awe factor maintained throughout the year.
What areas do you mainly service?
Tarrant county only.

Bay Area legend Y&T headlines Cargo Concert Hall
Dave Meniketti — the name is synonymous with music—raw, hard-edged, melodic, soulful. His first solo CD "On the Blue Side" received worldwide acclamation — particularly in Europe and Japan. His sophomore solo CD, the self-titled "Meniketti" revisits, as Dave says, his "melodic, rock-based roots." From its first churning note on "Messin' with Mr. Big," Dave's music grabs you. This is not background music. It pins your ears to the speakers and kicks you in the butt. It's infectious, delicious rock and roll that satisfies the soul. In other words "Meniketti" is pure Meniketti.
For the uninitiated, Dave Meniketti was born and raised in Oakland, CA where he has been an icon for guitar players worldwide and a Bay Area vocal and guitar legend for over two decades. Perhaps it is the diversity of the artists that influenced him as a kid (Hendrix, Coltrane, James Brown, Led Zeppelin) that is responsible for his varied expressions in both his singing and guitar playing. And what truly makes him admired by rock stars to the kid on the street.
As the lead singer/lead guitarist with Bay Area Rockers Y&T, Meniketti has sold over 4 million records worldwide, recorded 17 albums and toured across the United States and around the world.
When Y&T took a break from recording and performing, Dave wasn't ready to hang up his guitar. After building his own recording studio in his home, he answered a primal call and recorded "On the Blue Side" to quench his passion for the blues. Followed up with his pure rockin' sophomore solo release "Meniketti," this CD drives home the reasons why BAM Magazine christened Dave "a guitar hero in the classic sense of the term," and why the BBC calls Dave's guitar playing "special...indeed." If you haven't spun this CD yet, put your leathers on and get ready to rock — you're in for a good time.
You've got Dave's word on that and you can take that to the bank.
See Dave with Y&T at Cargo Concert Hall June 3.

Beyond Consumer Behavior: How Buying Habits Shape Identity
Solomon's Consumer Behavior: Buying, Having, and Being deepens the study of consumer behavior into an investigation of how having (or not having) certain products affects our lives. Solomon looks at how possessions influence how we feel about ourselves and each other, especially in the canon of social media and the digital age.
In the Twelfth Edition, Solomon has revised and updated the content to reflect major marketing trends and changes that impact the study of consumer behavior. Since we are all consumers, many of the topics have both professional and personal relevance to students, making it easy to apply them outside of the classroom. The updated text is rich with up-to-the-minute discussions on a range of topics such as "Dadvertising," "Meerkating," and the "Digital Self" to maintain an edge in the fluid and evolving field of consumer behavior.
Personalize Learning with MyMarketingLab
MyMarketingLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them better absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.

Petitions online the big deceit
PUSL analyzed the dozens of online petitions concerning Western Sahara of the last years (*of which we have placed only a few links of those that immediately appear in a google search) and we come to the following conclusions:
1) Avaaz, Change org and other platforms disguised as non-profit organizations do not function, nor in the number of signatures collected, nor are they delivered to the recipients, nor is there any information at the "end of the Campaign" by the promoters "of the campaigns.
2) The most successful campaign in the number of signatures (several thousand), which was delivered to the recipient and whose outcome was published, was the campaign of the Swiss Committee of support to the Saharawi People. This campaign was developed by the committee itself on an online site without intervention from any other organizations or platforms such as avaaz etc.
3) The Swiss Committee campaign could have been even more successful if it had not been "boycotted" proactively. That is to say that when the Committee's campaign was launched, soon afterward a challenge with the same name was launched (by an unknown part) so that people would take pictures of a painted finger of blue as if they had voted, which immediately resulted in "deviation" from the real campaign.
4) The Avaaz website has a world map where Western Sahara appears as part of Morocco without any identification. Curiously, someone launched a campaign in Avaaz to ratify the Google map so that the Sahara would appear as a distinct country, without realizing that Avaaz itself includes the Sahara in Morocco.
5) Campaigns that are publicized, and have a relevant number of signatures on the Avaaz, Change org and other platforms are PAYED campaigns of lobbies with economic power or whose "supporters" send "donations" to the platforms.
It is thus proven that initiatives such as that of the Swiss Committee are examples to be repeated while the other alternatives are clearly ineffective.
The recollection of signatures of the "Referendum NOW in Western Sahara" had the text in 6 languages, was easy to access and use and the promoter (Swiss Committee) informed supporters of the evolution of the campaign step by step. The aim was to involve supporters of the referendum. The delivery of the signatures was public.

A Little About Us
When we first moved to Georgia from Detroit in 2013, we learned our way around the area by sampling the cuisine. We feasted on burritos in Kirkwood, banh mi sandwiches on Buford Highway, sushi rolls in Smyrna, risotto in Roswell and fried chicken in Jackson. But it was when we tried the hotdogs and burgers at CJ's Hotdogs on Eagle's Landing in Stockbridge, that we knew we were really home.
In January 2016, we bought the business from the previous owners and almost exactly 2 years later in January 2018, re-christened the place The Hotdog Co. We sought to keep all of CJ's best dishes and specialties while adding our own unique twists and personal touches.
Kurt grew up in Louisville, Kentucky where he owned a popular restaurant. Teri grew up in Detroit, is a pretty darn good cook herself and travels quite a bit for work. Having both worked in customer service and hospitality, we vowed to make The Hotdog Co. known just as much for the warm and welcoming vibe you'll feel when you walk through the door as our mouth-watering food. The food comes fast, but it's not fast food. It's made with care and always served with a friendly smile.
So please stop in for a handmade burger, fresh-cut fries or one of our delicious hot dogs and say hello. We're all friends here.
Kurt & Teri

I can't do this. I can't. It's too much. Better to just hide, to let it pass. I'll feel better eventually.
The voices come, tapping at my mind. No – that's not right. Not voices, exactly, but knowing, thoughts, feelings. My subconscious is kicking me to move, to do, to get on. You have an idea. Get on with it, or it'll be gone, and you'll feel even worse.
I think back, to this morning. A story told to me by a beautiful priestess, of her own work with her Goddess, her commitment and bravery. I remember her smile, so very bright, and the hard work she puts in to her community.
This is spirituality. This is work, but it's not – it's just doing, being. A compulsion, drive, vocation. Making manifest what's inside us.
I think back again, to the stories I've heard in the last week. Of doubts and accomplishments, madness and survival. The impossible but true. The voices of old friends and total strangers. Somehow, they know I'll listen without judgement, and I do.
But where's my voice? What am I doing with all of this? The current of inspiration is entering me, but then stalling, not flowing on. The connection needs to be reforged.
I call to those who listen to me. Random words – a prayer, a spell? Or just talking? Does it matter? I speak, and they hear.
I feel my stomach unclench, muscles loosen that I hadn't realized were tense. My heart lifts a little. I reach out and fuss my puppy-dogs, who've been guarding me. One is curled up on my feet as I write this – one of his human companions, his safe place. Simple connection.
I remember what it feels like – the feeling of Self which that black fog blocks. I think of brief images from social media, as if friends have been rapping on my mind as well: wake UP, dammit! And myths of darkness, heading deep within to find what's there – not evil or destruction (well, not quite) but treasure. A quest is pointless is there's no challenge to battle through, with goal ahead and journey to learn from.
I love synchronicity. The map we have to remind ourselves to consult from time to time.
I remember love and laughter, joy in simple things. So easy to lose sometimes, but then easy to recall as well, if you know how and what you're aiming for.
Yesterday, I was explaining to a random Interested Person about the sacred in the world around. He kind of understood, but the words weren't sufficient – arm-waving was needed, and foot-stamping, and a lot of metaphor and random noises. We got there. Common ground.
And I was speaking to someone online who wasn't really listening, caught up in their own concerns. Sadly, I had to step away. But I'm still here, and they know that.
I've been gifted two candles this month: one crafted, one foraged. They will light the way, as all of these people (and more) are inspiring me with their tales, bringing me back to what's important.
The old tale of the Druid teacher is that they stand at the edge of the Forest of the Unknown, waiting as guide. Sometimes they point the way and let you step forward; sometimes they kick your arse to get on with it! Even Merlin went mad among those trees, but that wasn't the end.
This is only the first step of this particular side-road. I can feel change in the air as my homeland turns into Autumn (my favourite season), and know it's time to move. I'm not sure where I'll end up, but the Fool's journey has to begin.
I've often been asked about my writing process. It's something like this. I would apologise for its randomness, but I feel it has to come out this way today – so here it is.
For an explanation of precisely what I'm doing, visit my main Druidry blog, The Catbox.
We step onto the winding road and head into the unknown…

Expandable UITableView in iOS with Swift
A common feature of almost all apps is the fact that they provide multiple view controllers to users to navigate and work with. Those view controllers can be used in many ways, such as to simply display some kind of information on-screen, or to gather complex data from user input. Creating new view controllers for different functionalities of an app is often mandatory, and several times a little bit daunting task. However, sometimes it's possible to avoid creating new view controllers (and their respective scenes in storyboard) if you just make use of expandable tableviews.

Not sure why I wrote this so long ago. But I had the idea, so committed it to electronic paper. I feel like I should test myself by adding a story in to each genre. It is mostly undedited from original. I did fix some errors I found while reading it before posting, but structure is mostly unchanged. Please enjoy. Any comments and critiques welcome.
The Bus Ride
Angela was always late for the bus. It didn't matter how much extra time she allowed, she always arrived late. It was as though the universe wouldn't function normally if shew as on time. It was a good thing the driver, Derek, seem to be in tune with this fact. Despite her being at least five minutes late every morning, the bus would be waiting for her. As she boarded the bus, Angela knew that Eric would make Derek wait anyway. She flashed her travel pass at Derek, who waved her on with a smile. She looked down the aisle to her usual seat. Sitting in his seat, was Eric. He was dressed in another suit, clearly meant to look expensive.
"Morning sunshine," Eric said smiling as Angela moved down the aisle to her seat.
"Morning," she smiled back, "it's going to be a wonderful day today."
"Let's hope so," Eric said softly, adjusting himself nervously. Angela could feel his nervousness.
"You okay" she asked, turning around so she her whole body faced him.
"I'm great for the moment," he said smiling, but Angela could see tension in the way he sat, "but this afternoon is another matter."
"What'd you mean?" Angela asked curiously. There was definitely something amiss.
"I can tell you this afternoon," Eric said, turning to stare out the bus window. His silence on the remainder of the bus ride was discomforting, almost hurtful. Angela was wondering if she'd said or done something to upset him. Although he didn't say anything, Eric's body language spoke volumes, even to Angela.
"Angela," Derek called out as the bus slowed down to a standstill, "your stop." Angela looked out the window, seeing the same street corner she rode the bus to for the past six months. She hadn't realised how much time had passed. She stood, walking slowly to the front of the bus. She stopped at the stairs, looking at Derek.
"Do you know if there's anything wrong with Eric today? " she asked, almost pleading. "Has he said anything to you?"
"Hasn't said anything about anything to me, why?"
"He just isn't himself today," Angela sighed. "Something's wrong." Derek looked over his shoulder at Eric.
"If he says anything, I'll let Peter know."
"I don't think I can wait till the bus ride home," Angela said, patting Derek on the shoulder in thanks. She got off the bus, turning to watch Eric through the window as the bus pulled away from the curb. He was looking at her, a nervous smile on his face as the bus continued down the street. He waved to her until he was out of sight.
The next eight hours dragged on slowly for Angela. People and conversations blurred in to one long, excruciating day. How she managed to do any work was a miracle. When the clocks throughout the office displayed four-thirty, Angela felt like a swarm of butterflies had gathered in her stomach to host a dance party. Despite her queasiness, one way or the other, she was going to find out what was wrong with Eric this morning. With the feeling of butterflies dancing to 'Gangnam Style' inside her, Angela shutdown her computer, nodding and saying goodbye to people around her. As she approached the elevator, her feet grew heavier. Her mind raced through countless reasons for Eric's behaviour that morning. A female voice asked her about drinks later. Angela replied, but had no idea what she'd just said, her brain running on automatic. Her thoughts were focused elsewhere. The elevator stopped, a tide of people dragged Angela out as the doors opened. She was now standing out on the street, wondering exactly when she had walked through the front doors. She looked down the street, to the bus stop. A car horn interrupted her thoughts.
"Hey Ange'," a familiar voice called out. Angela looked towards the car. It was Trevor, flashing his charming smile from inside his Porsche. "Need a lift?" As he asked, he lent over and opened the car door for her. Angela walked over to the curb slowly, smiling. As she approached the car, Trevor's smile widened.
"Sorry," she said, closing the door softly, his smile changing to a frown, "I need to catch the bus today."
"Are you sure?" Trevor asked, almost pleadingly.
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow." She waved half-heartedly as she headed toward the bus stop. Trevor waited for a moment before driving off, just in case she changed her mind. But to his disappointment, she didn't. Angela liked Trevor. He was smart, funny and very good looking. He was also in management, so he was wealthy too. But he wasn't Eric. Eric was all those things and more. Well, maybe not wealthy. But when Angela was around Eric, money didn't seem important.
Thinking of Eric set the butterflies in Angela's stomach again, her insides felt like they were doing the Macarena. What was he going to say? Whatever it was, it was big. It had to be. She'd never seen Eric like that before. But how big was it? Had he found a girlfriend? Maybe he was already married? Angela doubted either could be true. She certainly hoped the second one wasn't. Eric had taken her to lunch not long ago and, despite the high prices in the restaurant, they had an amazing time together. Angela believed Eric would've saved for ages to afford the restaurant they went to, considering how low unemployment benefits were. She offered to pay half, but he had refused, informing her politely that he'd asked her out so it was his job to pay. She smiled as she sat down on the bus stop seat, remembering all the things the pair had talked about. Angela had copped a serve from her supervisor for taking a two-hour lunch break. It was worth it.
A door hissed open in front of Angela, snapping her out of her reminiscing. She looked up at Peter, sitting in the driver seat of the afternoon bus.
"Hey gorgeous," he said smiling.
"Hi Peter," Angela replied, returning the smile as she climbed the steps. "Did Derek talk to you?"
"He did, but I can't help you. Eric's not on the bus." Angela looked down the aisle. Eric was not in his seat. She checked the other seats as well, but there was no Eric on this bus. Angela was concerned. He was always in his seat, smiling as she climbed on to the bus. Where was he? Angela walked slowly up the aisle. She looked at Eric's favourite spot as she sat down in hers. Something must be very wrong. In the eight months they had traveled on the bus together, he had never missed a single day, until today.
"Where are you Eric?" she asked under her breath. Her thoughts were interrupted by a couple two seats in front of her, arguing about the death of some real estate billionaire. Angela recognised the name, as he owned the building she worked in, along with most of the surrounding buildings. The couple were arguing about the man's family, his real estate empire and which of his children would inherit most of it. Angela blocked out the rest of their conversation, returning to worrying about Eric. Who cared about some rich kids squabbling over their father's fortune, when the most amazing man she'd ever met wasn't where he was meant to be.
For the next few weeks, life dragged slowly for Angela. Each day, she would climb the stairs on the bus hoping to see Eric in his seat, those bright blue eyes, his dark messy hair and that big, beautiful smile. But she was disappointed. Each day grew worse when he wasn't there. A sense of sadness started creeping in to her as each day without Eric passed. Before she realised it, two months had gone by. Despite her feelings for Eric, she felt she needed to go out, to clear the cobwebs that clouded her mind. As she left for work Friday afternoon, there was an offer for drinks. She'd accepted. It was time. A place was named, as well as other people that would be present, which included Trevor. Angela nodded then headed home. Of course, there was no Eric on the bus. Despite her attitude, she was still a little disappointed. She sat in her seat, quietly staring out at the buildings and people passing by the windows. She recognised most of the store signs, especially those close to her stop. The bus stopped suddenly, everybody sliding forward in their seats. A few swore at Peter as they shifted back, rubbing body parts that collided with the seats in front.
"Ah, Angela," Peter said, sounding confused.
"This isn't my stop," Angela said, standing up and walking to the front of the bus. She saw the reason Peter had stopped the bus. A tall, bald man in a dark suit, standing in front of a large black limousine that was parked across the road. In his hands was a sign, the word "Angela" painted on it in a bright aqua green. Her favourite colour. Peter opened the door, letting Angela off the bus. She looked over at the man holding the sign.
"Angela?" he asked. She nodded, lost for words. He motioned to the limousine, smiling. Angela walked slowly, unsure of who this man was, or why he wanted her. She walked around to the side, the man followed behind. He reached over and opened the door. She looked inside, but the brightness outside made it too dark to see in.
"Angela," a familiar voice said, making her heart leap. She climbed in, sitting down on the leather seat. On the other side sat Eric, dressed in a very expensive suit. His hair was combed, but somehow still looked messy. He was clearly uncomfortable with the situation. The door closed beside her. She heard a door open and close. The car started, then she could feel the car moving, as it pulled out on to the main road.
"Where have you been?" Angela blurted out, before he could say anything. She started telling him how she felt that day on the bus and continued, without stopping for breath, in to the following days and weeks. She was midway through a sentence when Eric said her name. She stopped talking, her train of thought interrupted by his voice.
"Angela," he started again, "I'm sorry. I had big plans for that day. I had everything ready to go, ready to ask you something important." Angela gasped. "But my dad died that day. You probably saw it on the news."
"Porter Rickson was your dad? The real estate billionaire was your dad?"
"But……you rode the bus. For eight months, you rode the bus, with me."
"I know, I know. I was on the bus for a reason. My dad asked me to investigate the public transport system. He wanted to see if there was anything that could be improved, to invest in. That was also the first day we met."
"I remember that day," she said smiling. The first day they met had been one of the best she could ever remember.
"I'll never forget it," Eric said, taking a deep breath. "I met the most amazing woman on that bus."
"Why didn't you ask me out? I would have said yes."
"Of course you would, I was the son of a billionaire. Most women do say yes. But I never know if it's me or the money."
"But you should know better than that," Angela said a little hurt. "I would never go for someone just because they had money!"
"I know that. But back, then I didn't. You're such an amazing woman, I wanted to get to know you before you found out who I was. I even had my face taken off some of the commercials my dad made. I told him I wanted to investigate the public transport system as a normal person. So I dressed down."
"You lied to me," Angela said.
"I would never lie to you. As a matter of fact……" Eric leaned forward, kneeling down on one knee, pulling a small box out of his pocket.
"Angela Matilda Stilks," Eric said calmly, opening the box as he lifted it up, "will you marry me?" Angela was stunned. The man of her dreams before her, proposing marriage. But he had been lying to her, kind of. He had not told her who he was. He had kept that from her all this time. Surely he would have seen that money didn't matter to her in a relationship.
Trevor's smile flashed before her eyes. Angela remembered the stories of how Trevor would target girls in the office. Even though only a few ever went out with him, there were stories. Most were about how his charm quickly wore off, once he got what he wanted. After that, his wallet closed up. And money only took you so far. She looked at the ring in the box. It wasn't a huge ring like something a billionaire, or billionaire's son, would buy. It was small and delicate, with beautiful crafting around the diamond. It was something Angela would've selected herself. She couldn't argue that he didn't know her. They had spent most of the eight months on the bus talking, mostly about her she realised. He had been getting to know her without her even knowing what he was doing.
"Is this what you were going to ask me the day your dad…umm…" She could not complete the question.
"Yes," Eric replied grabbing her hand, squeezing it gently in reassurance.
"Why?" she asked, "why that day?" Eric took a deep breath.
"That morning, I talked to my dad on the phone. He was still in the hospital after some tests. Apparently they found some serious problems. When I spoke to him, he told me I'd been chasing the girl for long enough. Life was too short to…." Eric's eyes teared up a little as he spoke of his father.
"...too short to waste on waiting," he continued. It was all Angela could do to not burst in to tears herself, listening to him talk about his father with so much affection. Could she marry him? Despite everything else between them, everything else that had happened, that was the real question.
"Can I think about it?" she asked. Eric looked a little surprised, but nodded his head and smiled.
"Of course you can. This is a big decision." Angela realised the car had stopped. The door beside her opened. They were parked outside her apartment building. As she climbed out of the limousine, Eric grabbed her hand again.
"Take this," Eric said, handing her the box with the ring. "Even if you say no, keep it." Angela stood up outside, the big bald man smiling at her as she walked over to the curb. Eric leaned in to view, that beautiful smile on his face.
"Whatever you decide Angela, I love you." Her lip started to quiver at those words. He gave her a half-hearted wave before closing the door. The bald man walked around, getting in behind the wheel. He loved her. He actually said he loved her. That was the first time he'd said it. As the limousine started up the road, she knew she loved him too. The limousine got further away. Suddenly she knew she'd made a huge mistake. She took off after the limousine, running up the street after it, screaming for it to stop. But it didn't stop. They didn't see her, or hear her, so far behind it. It got further and further away. She kept running. She was puffing, her pulse racing. The limousine waited a moment at an intersection then turned left. It took her a minute to get there, but when she finally reached the intersection, the limousine was gone. He was gone. Just like that. She'd just made the biggest mistake of her life. The perfect man had asked her to marry him and she wanted to think about it.
"I love you," she gasped, leaning heavily against the street sign, exhausted.
"It's about time," a voice said behind her. She turned around. Eric was leaning against the side of the limousine, grinning. "I rode eight months on a bus with you, waiting for you to say that."
"You!" she said as she ran over to him. First she hugged and kissed him. Then she punched him in the arm. Then she kissed him again. Angela pulled away for a second, looking at him.
"What happened to letting me decide?" she asked.
"I did. When you chased after us, I knew you'd decided."
"But you didn't stop. I thought you didn't see me."
"Carver was going to stop," Eric said, pointing to the bald driver, "but I made him keep going."
"Why?" Angela asked, punching him in the arm again.
"I wanted to make sure you were sure!"
"I saw you running like an athlete to catch up, in heels even. I'm convinced."
"Oh, the answer to your question is yes."
"Which question," Eric grinned, "that you want to marry me, or that we honeymoon in Hawaii?" She punched him, then kissed him, again.
"All of the above," Angela grinned, "all of the above."

What Is Cluster Feeding? (Learn Why Your Baby Wants to Constantly Breastfeed)
Worried about why your baby is constantly nursing? Trying to figure out if you're not producing enough breastmilk or if baby is just cluster feeding? Or, maybe you're just curious as to what cluster feeding even is?
Breastfeeding may be natural, but that doesn't mean it comes easy. There is a learning curve for both you and your baby. You have to figure out what's normal and what's not, and your baby has to perfect her latch.
So, what about when it comes to cluster feedings? What all do you need to know?
In this post, we'll talk about what cluster feeding is, why your baby is nursing so frequently, how to tell the difference between cluster feeding and low milk supply, and tips for surviving those cluster feeds.
**Just so you know, Tales of a Messy Mom may collect a share of sales from purchases made through the affiliate links on this page. See the full disclosure here.
What is Cluster Feeding?
Cluster feeding, also known as the "witching hour(s)," is when your baby feeds frequently at certain times of the days (typically late afternoon or evening). Most of the time, your baby will go a few hours in between feedings, but during cluster feedings, your baby will nurse every 20-30 minutes, or even constantly for a few hours at a time.
If your baby seems to be quite fussy at certain times of the day, then she is probably wanting to cluster feed. Follow your baby's cues, and nurse on demand. It can be rough at times, but just keep switching breasts until your baby is done feeding.
Your baby may even fall asleep at the breast, and then wake up 5-10 minutes later and want to nurse again. This is normal. Cluster feeding is NORMAL!
Why Does My Baby Want to Nurse All the Time?
When babies cluster feed, they are often going through a growth spurt or developmental leap (source). Cluster feedings are usually even (but not always) followed by a longer stretch of uninterrupted sleep. Hallelujah!
Babies may also want to breastfeed quite frequently for comfort when they are teething or battling a minor illness.
When your baby nurses more frequently, they are sending a signal to your body to make more breastmilk. So, the more your baby eats, the more milk your body will produce. Breastfeeding really is all about supply and demand.
What Does Newborn Cluster Feeding Look Like?
During the first few days, your baby will be able to thrive with the tiny bit of colostrum you have. Their tummies are so tiny, they can only hold so much at a time. Which means, they will be hungry very frequently.
But, their tiny stomach grows rapidly during that first month of life, making those first 30 days the most demanding when it comes to breastfeeding.
When babies are born, their stomachs are only about the size of a cherry and can only hold about a tsp. of colostrum at a time. By 3 days old, your baby's stomach will already be 4 times larger and can now hold 0.8 to 1 ounces of milk. Around day 7, your baby's tummy will have grown to the size of an apricot and can hold 1.5 to 2 ounces of milk, and by day 30, it will be the size of a large egg and can already hold 2.5-5 oz. of breastmilk at a time (source).
Around day 3-7, your body will also begin to switch from colostrum to full on breastmilk production. During this time, your baby will probably have one night where they just want to nurse constantly. This is your newborn signaling to your body to make this switch. Your milk will probably come in full force that next day. You're boobs will become full fast, and you'll feel quite engorged.
Forget a feeding schedule those first few months of life. Your baby may nurse quite frequently, but it's extremely important to listen to your baby's signals in order to initiate and maintain breastmilk supply (source).

How Can You Tell the Difference Between Low Milk Supply and Cluster Feeding?
Even though cluster feeding is completely normal, it can easily make you question if you're producing enough breastmilk, especially if you're a first time breastfeeding mom. And, especially if your baby nurses for a few minutes, pulls off, cries and fusses, latches back on, and just keeps repeating this cycle. This can be extremely frustrating.
So, how you can tell if your baby is getting enough breastmilk? When is your baby just cluster feeding, and what are some signs that you may need to supplement? Here are a few key-tailed differences:
Cluster Feeding
- Baby nurses frequently at CERTAIN periods of the day (typically late afternoon or evening)
- Baby is fussy at CERTAIN times of the day (again, typically late afternoon or evening)
- Baby is fussy at the breast at CERTAIN periods of the day
- Baby has plenty of wet and dirty diapers
- Baby is gaining plenty of weight
Low Milk Supply
- Baby is wanting to feed MOST of the day/night
- Baby is fussy MOST of the day and immediately after MOST feedings
- Baby is nursing for an hour or more at MOST feedings
- Not enough wet and dirty diapers
- Baby is not gaining weight
- Baby is awake all the time or sleepy all of the time

If you sense that your baby is not getting enough breastmilk, it's best to consult with your pediatrician or an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) as soon as possible to discuss a care plan.
How Long Does Cluster Feeding Last?
Cluster feeding starts early on, usually within the first two weeks of life, as your baby's tummy begins to grow. They typically coincide with growth spurts, around the first few days at home, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, and 6 months. Growth spurts usually last around 2-3 days, but can sometimes last for up to a week.
That first month is filled with cluster feedings, but luckily breastfeeding does get easier, andcluster feedings usually start to die down around 3-4 months of age.
Cluster Feeding Survival Tips
Cluster feeding may be normal, but can also just be plain exhausting! Your body is working overtime, and your schedule may go kaput. This tiny person is now in-demand!
Having your baby latched on so frequently can be overwhelming, but just try to remember that this time will fly by. Here are 10 top tips to help you survive those cluster feeds:
1.) Don't Fight It
I know it can be rough having a little minion sucking on your nipples for hours at a time, but following your baby's cues is crucial for maintaining your breastmilk supply and keeping up with your baby's growing needs.
2.) Make Yourself Comfy
Prepare yourself for the long haul, by setting yourself up in a comfy spot. If you're tired or worried you may fall asleep, then it's best to nurse on a firm mattress with no blankets or pillows surrounding you and your baby.
3.) Stay Hydrated
You can easily get dehydrated while breastfeeding if you're not replenishing your fluids. Plus, it's also extremely important for maintaining your milk supply. Invest in a large water bottle, and have it handy at all times. Ones with straws are best, so you can easily get a drink while your baby is nursing.
4.) Recruit Your Hubby
There's many ways your husband can be involved in breastfeeding. You don't have to do this alone. Recruit your hubby to fill up your water bottle, hand you the remote, cook dinner, and even spoon-feed you while baby's eating. Place him on diaper duty in between feeds, so you can go to the bathroom and take care of yourself.
5.) Binge Watch Netflix
You may be stuck on the couch for a few hours, so go ahead and enjoy some entertainment by binge watching all your favorite and latest Netflix shows. Some of my current faves include "The Let Down," "Peaky Blinders," The Office," and "Parks and Recreation."
6. ) Have Essentials Handy
Have a breastfeeding basket in arms reach, filled with one handed snacks, nipple cream (or coconut oil), burp cloths, and nursing pads. You'll probably want to have a diaper caddy nearby as well.
7.) Soothe Your Nipples
It'll take time for your nipples to adjust to the demands of breastfeeding. You may have some sore nipples that first week or two. Find some relief in between feedings with a cool washcloth, nipple cream, or cold breastfeeding gel pads. If your nipples are sore past the first few weeks or you're in extreme pain when baby is nursing, you should seek an IBCLC to have your baby's latch evaluated.
8.) Set up Entertainment for Your Toddler
Set your toddler up with a busy box or lots of books when you expect a cluster feeding is about to happen. If you have someone that could entertain them, that would be even better. And, if all else fails, don't feel bad for letting them have a little bit of screen-time. This first year is survival mode!
9.) Nurse in a Carrier
If you have other kids at home or there's things you just have to get done, you may want to learn how to nurse your baby in a carrier. There are lots of instructional videos on YouTube you can look up for different ages of babies and different types of carriers.
10.) Ask for Help
If you're still worried about what's normal and what's not or just need some support, don't be afraid to reach out. There are plenty of free breastfeeding resources out there to help you through this journey.

Nurse On
Cluster feeding is very common during the early months of breastfeeding. Your baby will want to nurse constantly for a few hours each day during growth spurts and developmental leaps. It's important to follow your baby's cues, as breastfeeding is a supply and demand relationship.
As long as your baby is gaining weight, having plenty of wet and dirty diapers, and not nursing constantly around the clock, then you shouldn't have to worry about low milk supply. Cluster feedings can be rough, but they don't last forever. So, get yourself comfy, recruit your hubby, and cherish those early months of breastfeeding. They really are so bitter sweet. <3

FAQ (Duo Two-Factor Authentication)
What is Georgetown Duo?
Duo is a tool that provides an extra level of security that protects your Georgetown password against hackers. Duo uses a process called "two-factor authentication" to require an additional step at login that ensures your password is protected against theft.
What are the benefits of using Georgetown Duo?
Georgetown Duo provides secure access to Georgetown computing services such as Georgetown Google Apps, Box, GMS, and Canvas, protecting your password against potential attacks.
Who is eligible to enroll in Georgetown Duo?
All current Georgetown students, faculty, and staff on the Main Campus, Medical Center, Law Center, and the McDonough School of Business are eligible to enroll in the Duo security service.
I don't want to use my personal phone/mobile device for Georgetown business – what other options do I have?
Please note that the Duo application can be installed for free and uses very little data. If you still do not wish to use your personal device for Duo access, you may:
- Have Duo call a landline phone so that you can authorize using the keypad.
- Request a bypass code from the UIS Service Center by going to help.georgetown.edu.
- Enter the last nine digits of the CARD number on the back of your GOCard as a bypass code.
I have my mobile device with me but no access to the internet or phone calls – what can I do?
- The Duo application generates a dynamic bypass code every minute that can be entered and does not require an internet connection.
- Enter the last nine digits of the CARD number on the back of your GOCard as a bypass code.
I lost my mobile device or left it at home, and I do not have access to a landline phone – what can I do?
You may enter the last nine digits of the CARD number on the back of your GOCard as a bypass code.
I'm a Sponsored University Associate (SUA); can I enroll in Georgetown Duo?
As of Dec 2018, all SUAs are required to enroll in Duo.
How does the Georgetown Duo security service work?
You first enroll in Georgetown Duo then install the Duo app on your mobile device, and then set up your mobile device to work with Georgetown Duo. Once you're set up, you'll log in to any Georgetown computing service as before, but after you enter your NetID and password, Duo pushes an authentication notice to your device. Once you verify the notification, you'll be able to access your account. You'll need to make sure you have your mobile device with you whenever and wherever you log in.
How will logging in to GU Web sites differ using the Georgetown Duo security service?
After you log in to a Georgetown computing service (e.g., Google Apps, Box, GMS, Canvas), Duo will ask you to choose an additional authentication method (send a notification to your device, call you, or require you to enter a passcode) that will require you to take an action on the mobile device you enrolled in Georgetown Duo. Once you do this, you'll be logged in.
Am I required to sign up for Georgetown Duo?
All faculty and staff are required to sign up for Duo.
Do I have to sign up for Georgetown Duo within a certain time frame?
Yes. You should sign up for Georgetown Duo by December 22, 2018. If you don't sign up by this date, you will be blocked from accessing critical Georgetown systems, such as Gmail, Box, Banner, and GMS.
How do I sign up for Georgetown Duo?
To sign up, you first need to enroll in Georgetown Duo by going to the Georgetown Duo Web page. After you sign up for Duo, you'll need to install and set up the Duo Mobile app on your mobile device.
What versions of iOS and Android does Duo Mobile support?
For details on supported operating systems for Duo Mobile, please refer either to "Which versions of Android does Duo Mobile support?" or "Which versions of iOS does Duo Mobile support?".
- iOS 9 and Android 5 ("Lollipop") will no longer be supported. However, if you already downloaded and installed the Duo Mobile app on your mobile device, you will still be able to authenticate.
- UIS recommends upgrading to the most recent version of iOS or Android for your device to get the latest security patches, features, and improvements.
The device I enrolled in Georgetown Duo was lost/stolen. What do I do?
Contact the Service Center immediately to report that your device was lost/stolen.
Note: With Duo's two-factor authentication, your Georgetown password should continue to be protected from hackers, so no one should be able to access any GU Web sites you regularly log in to. However, any data on your device (documents, contacts, email addresses) might be accessible; therefore, the data on your device might not be retrievable.
How do I add another device to my Duo account?
Click here for instructions on how to add another device to your Duo account.
I just got a new replacement phone, how do I set up this phone in Duo?
If you obtained a new device, such as the latest model iPhone, that replaces another device you owned and that you previously registered in your Duo account, and if the replacement device has the same phone number as the older device, then you'll need to reactivate the new device.
Can I use Georgetown Duo if I'm out of the country?
Yes. You can use Georgetown Duo from anywhere, as long as you can connect to the Internet. If you are in a location where you don't have Internet access, you can generate a passcode using the Duo Mobile app on your mobile device.
How can I use Georgetown Duo if I don't have cellular or Internet service?
You can generate a passcode using the Duo Mobile app.
I get a "No Internet Connection" error message on my device when I try to log in using Duo.
This message means that your device is not currently connected to the Internet; your device needs to be connected to the Internet to receive notifications. Click here for instructions on how to correct this and log in to your application.
What can I do if I don't have my device with me to log in to my application?
If you don't have your device, and you previously added/registered another device to your Georgetown Duo account, you can log in using that other device.
Note: If you've registered only the single device, contact the Service Center (202-687-4949; 855-4949; email@example.com) for assistance.
How can I use Duo if I don't have my device with me and I'm traveling?
If you don't have your device and you're away, you can log in to Duo by entering a passcode.
- Open the login page of the application (e.g., Gmail, GMS) you want to log in to.
- Enter your NetID and password when prompted.
- On the Duo authentication screen, click Enter a Passcode. (Note: If you have Duo set up to perform Send Me a Push automatically, just click Dismiss, and then click Enter a Passcode.)
- On the Duo authentication screen, enter the last 9 digits of the number on the back of your GOCard. You can locate the number as shown in the example below.
Note: If this number isn't printed on your GOCard, contact the Service Center at 855-687-4949 or email@example.com to get a passcode.
- Click Log In. Duo will log you in to your application.

Hello! It's Lau and today I want to just give some advice for someone who doesn't know a lot about makeup, like what to do with their brows? What products are good for beginners?
Let's just get started.
When getting into makeup it's exciting but also a bit of a nightmare, there's so much to choose and so much to learn.
Here are my tips and answering some questions:
1. I've never touched my brows, how do I shape them? You can do either one of two things, let someone else do it OR do it yourself. With someone else, you can tell them what you want but with yourself, you need have a plan..fill in your eyebrow shape with an eyebrow pencil and then just tweeze the stray brow hairs.
2. How do I know what shade of foundation matches me? I've always found this a little difficult but use a tester (if they have it). If they don't, you might just have to eyeball it. However, consider your undertone. For example, don't buy a pink undertoned foundation if you have yellow undertones. To find out what undertone you have, just google it.
3. What products should I use if I'm a beginner? I would get: concealer, powder, bronzer, a light coloured eyeshadow, mascara, eyebrow gel, lipbalm or lipgloss.
4. How do I get my winged eyeliner even? That's quite difficult, but very do-able. Do short strokes, and maybe don't do a big wing. Try aligning the end of your eyebrow to your eyeliner.
5. Do I need to prep my skin for makeup? You don't need to but it does help out the application of makeup a little bit. It goes on better.
That's all for this post. I hope I helped you out in some form or another.
Thank you all for reading and I'll see you all soon.
Lau x

Subject: [Fwd: RE: comment on TA specification]
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: comment on TA specification Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 18:03:21 -0500 From: Martin W Sachs <email@example.com> To: Stefano POGLIANI <firstname.lastname@example.com> CC: Duane Nickull <firstname.lastname@example.com>, email@example.com,firstname.lastname@example.com,ebXML-Architecture List <email@example.com> N.B. this will be rejected by the Architecture listserver. Someone please post it there. Stefano, The High Level Business Scenarios replacement appendix attached to your email is considerably improved from the previous one. I have only a few comments. Some of these relate to material in the base TA specification that relates to your appendix. "Business Service Interface" appears many times in the TA specification but I cannot find a definition there. I know what it means from reading your white paper but most readers will not understand it. Since the term "service interface" usually means the thin line between adjacent layers in a stack such as the OSI communication model, it is very important to provide a definition of BSI here. I believe that the definition should say that the BSI is a name for the middleware which supports B2B exchanges, supports the CPA, and provides a bridge to each legacy application. Perhaps you have a definition in the white paper that you can copy. Line 499: This refers to "business service interface requirements". I don't understand this term. The CPP has no explicit requirements on the BSI. Its requirements all relate to the applicable standards such as business process, messaging service, and transport protocol. I suggest changing the sentence to "...to express their minimum business process, message-exchange, transport, and security requirements..." HIGH LEVEL BUSINESS SCENARIOS REPLACMENT TEXT The term "Commercial Transactions" should be replaced in several places by "Business Transactions", which is the term now used by the BP team. One of the technical editors should review this with regard to English syntax and word usage.

I would deal in this mail on the comments you made on the Appendix, since it was originally written by me. I have submitted a new version to Duane after the TA V1.0 was published to deal with some of the comments, but not everything you mention. Using your comments, I created a new version of teh Appendix which is attached here. Here below are my comments. Best regards /Stefano » » Line 1102 and following: This appendix makes frequent use of the term TPP » (Trading Partner Profile). The TA specification does not define the » difference between a TPP and a CPP and the TP team is not defining such a » (presumably higher level) document. Please change TPP to CPP throughout » this appendix. I have done it. » » Line 1142: As noted above, the CPA does not reference the relevant TPPs » (i.e. CPPs). Please delete this line. » You are right. This was an inheritance of the understanding before the f2f of the beginning of october. I actually removed the whole construct which was saying : The CPA references : - the relevant TPPs - the legal terms and conditions related to the exchange. I removed this construct consistently in the appendix since it appeared more than once. » Line 1143: Please delete this line. The CPA does not reference legal » terms and conditions in any architecturally meaningful way. It » may provide a #PCDATA field for recording the ID of an associated legal contract, but » that is all. You are right. See previous comment. » » Line 1144-1158: These bullets relate to implementation, not to what the » TPP (CPP) defines. Please start a new "subhead" about implementation. Actually, the formatting in the final document was lost. The sentence starting with "The partners implement..." actually starts a new bullet. » » Line 1145 and elsewhere: Please delete this line and other references to » Business Service Interface. I can't find a definition of such a construct. » It probably refers to the B2B middleware. Perhaps one could say "obtains » the necssary middleware". This reference appears more than once. I may agree with you on changing the reference to the BSI with a more loose definition. But I found that the term "Business Service Interface" appears many times in the TA document. For this reason I think that it is not "something new". At the moment I did not apply your proposed change in view of your comment on this: let me know what you think. » » Line 1174-1175: This statement appears to say that each trading partner is » fully aware of the state of the entire process. That is not correct. At » this stage of the development of the CPA and its support software, each » partner is only aware of the state of its interactions with the other » partner in the CPA. In this case, TP 1 knows only about the state with » respect to TP2, TP3 only knows about the state with respect to TP2, and » only TP2 is aware of the total state of the three parties. I think this is what is written here. Probably the sentence "The assumption is that the "state" of the entire Business Process is managed by each Trading Partner,..." is the one that makes the confusion. But later in the same sentence it is clearly said that : "each Trading Partner is fully responsible of the commercial transaction involving it..." and the examples say that. » » Line 1201: As noted above, the CPA does not reference the relevant TPPs » (i.e. CPPs). Please delete this line. See previous comment. » » Terminology: After extensive discussions, the TP team is consistently » using the term "Party" to denote the owner of a CPP and a participant in a » CPA. the TA team may wish to update the architecture document to agree. I tried to do in this new version. You may want to double check if the "replace" did not go too deep » » Regards, » Marty » » » » ****************************************************************** » ******************* » » Martin W.
