We are based in Pearland, TX, just outside of Houston. Texas Quality Assurance was developed out of a need to save time and energy with your Quality Management System. The end goal is to save folks time, and make business more efficient, and more profitable for everyone in the process.
Our mission is to save folks time and energy for what matters most, be it that special project at the office or just getting home in time to see your boy or girl's little league game. Doing your best shouldn't get in the way of being your best.
In our previous careers we spent far too much time processing paperwork, following up on Corrective Action Reports, and performing audits of training & calibration records, the list goes on and one. To get the job done we went in earlier, stayed later, and still were not able to stay caught up. We knew there had to be a better way. We developed the first version of our cloud based quality management software (now TQA Cloud) in 2013, geared towards ISO 9001 and have been steadily improving and expanding every day since.
We've told you the reason WHY we do what we do, it's save folks time for what matters most. We believe the HOW and WHAT of our business are important, too.
The HOW, meaning how we conduct business, is based in scripture and guides the current and future growth of the company. Years ago we developed four "Pillars of Excellence" to guide ourselves and the future company. They are:
- Integrity – Proverbs 28:6 "Better the poor whose walk is blameless than the rich whose ways are perverse."
- Pro-activity – I Peter 1:13 "We must prepare our minds, to act the way God commands in a given situation. Therefore, we must be proactive-we must act in advance, to deal with whatever situation we find ourselves."
- Hard Work – Proverbs 13:4 "A sluggard's appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied."
- Generosity – Proverbs 11:24-25 "One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."
And the WHAT of what we do, is simple.
- Cloud Based Quality Management Software "TQA Cloud"
- Consultation Services
- Auditing Services
- Training Services
At the end of the day, we are husbands, fathers, and good old boys from small Texas towns. We needed a better way to make sure we were available for our families and are now trying to make this tool available for as many folks as we can, to give you time for what matters most to you.

Summer in the City – July Events That Make Chicago a Hot Destination
Movies in the Parks. Arguably, there is no better way to spend a pleasant summer evening than by enjoying an outdoor movie in a neighborhood park – and it's free! Take the kids and a picnic dinner to these family-friendly, classic flicks. Smurfs 2 (PG) is playing on Wednesday, July 16, at Skinner Park (1331 W. Monroe St.). See Sixteen Candles(PG-13) on Monday, July 21, at Fulton River Park (343 N. DesPlaines St.). And Star Trek: Into Darkness (PG-13) is scheduled for Thursday, July 24, at Mary Bartelme Park (115 S. Sangamon St.).
July would not be complete of course without the Taste of Chicago. The Taste is a summer tradition in the City of Broad Shoulders, and it's being held this year July 8th through the 12th. Featuring the Bud Light Stage, food trucks, pop-up restaurants and much gustatory goodness, it's a real challenge to sample all that the Taste has to offer in just one day.
If you are looking for something a bit outside of the city, Ravinia Festival in Highland Park showcases an outstanding and eclectic mix of music all summer long. Pack some snacks and bring the whole family for a July 12th date with the world renowned Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which will be performingDisney Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. $25 for the lawn or $50 for a seat in the pavilion…prices that are hard to beat for a great evening under the stars.
And of course we can't forget Chicago's most famous summer music event: Lollapalooza. This year Lollapalooza will take place July 31st through August 2nd at Grant Park. Acts like Paul McCartney, Sam Smith, Tove Lo, Metallica, Florence + the Machine and many more will be performing.
Last but certainly not least among our Chicago-in-July favorites are such classic destinations as Navy Pier and a Cubs game at historic Wrigley Field. Here a Chicago-style hot dog and a cold beer go hand-in-hand, naturally.
Savor July in Chicago and Go Cubbies!

As explained earlier, Samba can help Windows and Unix computers coexist in the same network. However, there are some specific reasons why you might want to set up a Samba server on your network:
You don't want to pay for—or can't afford—a full-fledged Windows server, yet you still need the functionality that one provides.
The Client Access Licenses (CALs) that Microsoft requires for each Windows client to access a Windows server are unaffordable.
You want to provide a common area for data or user directories to transition from a Windows server to a Unix one, or vice versa.
You want to share printers among Windows and Unix workstations.
You are supporting a group of computer users who have a mixture of Windows and Unix computers.
You want to integrate Unix and Windows authentication, maintaining a single database of user accounts that works with both systems.
You want to network Unix, Windows, Macintosh (OS X), and other systems using a single protocol.
Let's take a quick tour of
Samba in action. Assume that we have
the following basic network configuration: a Samba-enabled Unix
system, to which we will assign the name
and a pair of Windows clients, to which we will assign the names
maya and
aztec, all connected
via a local area network (LAN). Let's also assume
toltec also has a local inkjet printer
connected to it,
lp, and a disk share named
spirit—both of which it can offer to the
other two computers. A graphic of this network is shown in Figure 1-1.
In this network, each computer listed shares the same workgroup. A workgroup is a group name tag that identifies an arbitrary collection of computers and their resources on an SMB network. Several workgroups can be on the network at any time, but for our basic network example, we'll have only one: the METRAN workgroup.
If everything is properly
configured, we should be able to see the Samba server,
toltec, through the Network Neighborhood of the
maya Windows desktop. In fact, Figure 1-2 shows the Network Neighborhood of the
maya computer, including
and each computer that resides in the METRAN workgroup. Note the
Entire Network icon at the top of the list. As we just mentioned,
more than one workgroup can be on an SMB network at any given time.
If a user clicks the Entire Network icon, she will see a list of all
the workgroups that currently exist on the network.
We can take a closer look at the
toltec server by
double-clicking its icon. This contacts
itself and requests a list of its
shares—the file and printer
resources—that the computer provides. In this case, a printer
lp, a home directory named
jay, and a disk share named
spirit are on the server, as shown in Figure 1-3. Note that the Windows display shows hostnames
in mixed case (Toltec). Case is irrelevant in hostnames, so you might
see toltec, Toltec, and TOLTEC in various displays or command output,
but they all refer to a single system. Thanks to Samba, Windows 98
sees the Unix server as a valid SMB server and can access the
spirit folder as if it were just another system
One popular Windows feature is the ability to map a drive letter (such as E:, F:, or Z:) to a shared directory on the network using the Map Network Drive option in Windows Explorer.[1] Once you do so, your applications can access the folder across the network using the drive letter. You can store data on it, install and run programs from it, and even password-protect it against unwanted visitors. See Figure 1-4 for an example of mapping a drive letter to a network directory.
Take a look at the Path: entry in the dialog box of Figure 1-4. An equivalent way to represent a directory on a network computer is by using two backslashes, followed by the name of the networked computer, another backslash, and the networked directory of the computer, as shown here:
This is known as the
Naming Convention (UNC) in the Windows world. For example, the dialog
box in Figure 1-4 represents the network directory
on the
toltec server as:
If this looks somewhat familiar to you, you're
probably thinking of uniform resource
(URLs), which are addresses that web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer use to
resolve systems across the Internet. Be sure not to confuse the two:
URLs such as http://www.oreilly.com use forward slashes
instead of backslashes, and they precede the initial slashes with the
data transfer protocol (i.e., ftp, http) and a colon (:). In reality,
URLs and UNCs are two completely separate things, although sometimes
you can specify an SMB share using a URL rather than a UNC. As a URL,
\\toltec\spirit share would be specified as
Once the network drive is set up, Windows and its programs behave as if the networked directory were a local disk. If you have any applications that support multiuser functionality on a network, you can install those programs on the network drive.[2] Figure 1-5 shows the resulting network drive as it would appear with other storage devices in the Windows 98 client. Note the pipeline attachment in the icon for the J: drive; this indicates that it is a network drive rather than a fixed drive.
My Network Places, found in Windows Me, 2000, and XP, works
differently from Network Neighborhood. It is necessary to click a few
more icons, but eventually we can get to the view of the
toltec server as shown in Figure 1-6. This is from a Windows 2000 system. Setting
up the network drive using the Map Network Drive option in Windows
2000 works similarly to other Windows versions.
You probably noticed that the printer
lp appeared under the available shares for
toltec in Figure 1-3. This
indicates that the Unix server has a printer that can be shared by
the various SMB clients in the workgroup. Data sent to the printer
from any of the clients will be spooled on the Unix server and
printed in the order in which it is received.
Setting up a Samba-enabled printer on the Windows side is even easier than setting up a disk share. By double-clicking the printer and identifying the manufacturer and model, you can install a driver for this printer on the Windows client. Windows can then properly format any information sent to the network printer and access it as if it were a local printer. On Windows 98, double-clicking the Printers icon in the Control Panel opens the Printers window shown in Figure 1-7. Again, note the pipeline attachment below the printer, which identifies it as being on a network.
As mentioned earlier, Samba appears in Unix as a set of daemon programs. You can view them with the Unix ps command; you can read any messages they generate through custom debug files or the Unix syslog (depending on how Samba is set up); and you can configure them from a single Samba configuration file: smb.conf. In addition, if you want to get an idea of what the daemons are doing, Samba has a program called smbstatus that will lay it all on the line. Here is how it works:
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[spirit]"
Samba version 2.2.6
Service uid gid pid machine
spirit jay jay 7735 maya (172.16.1.6) Sun Aug 12 12:17:14 2002

Share mode memory usage (bytes):
1048368(99%) free + 136(0%) used + 72(0%) overhead = 1048576(100%) total
The Samba status from this output provides three sets of data, each
divided into separate sections. The first section tells which systems
have connected to the Samba server, identifying each client by its
machine name (
maya and
and IP (Internet Protocol) address. The second section reports the
name and status of the files that are currently in use on a share on
the server, including the read/write status and any locks on the
files. Finally, Samba reports the amount of memory it has currently
allocated to the shares that it administers, including the amount
actively used by the shares plus additional overhead. (Note that this
is not the same as the total amount of memory that the
smbd or nmbd processes are
Don't worry if you don't understand these statistics; they will become easier to understand as you move through the book.
[1] You can also right-click the shared resource in the Network Neighborhood and then select the Map Network Drive menu item.
[2] Be warned that many end-user license agreements forbid installing a program on a network so that multiple clients can access it. Check the legal agreements that accompany the product to be absolutely sure.

Blackout provides the ability to redact and highlight images in Relativity en masse utilizing terms, phrases, and regular expressions. Image projects are a flexible way to target specific documents and locate content that must be marked up for the case. There is a wide range of workflows that can be utilized to accomplish many different goals, however, for this guide, we will focus on the basic tooling.
Creating an Image Project
- Log into Relativity as a System Administrator or a user who has access to the Blackout tab.
- Navigate to Blackout > Image Projects.
- Click New Image Project.
- Fill out the project form using the details below.
- Click create.
A form will be displayed that is used to define how the project will function when running. The following fields make up the form.
Job Name
An identifier for the project making it easy to refer to or for others to find.
Language Code
Code for specifying which languages should be used for OCR. Not required to be changed away from eng unless other language packs are installed.
Saved Search
The document source. All actions will be performed against these documents.
Markup Set
The markup set that the markups will be associated with.
The rules are what drives the project. How they are configured will determine how the content will be located on each image. There are two different kinds of rule groups--Redaction and Highlight.
Every time the fields are filled out for a rule group, another section will appear below it allowing the creation of multiple rule groups. Each of these can be independently configured targeting different sets of content.
Redaction rules will result in removing the content from the document and replacing it with a black, white, text, cross, or inverse redaction.
Highlight rules will result in changing the foreground color of the matched content with the selected color.
Markup Reason
A simple message that can be associated with the markups made by the rule group. It can be reviewed using the Blackout reports.
Markup Scope
Defines the behavior of the project when placing a redaction or highlight.
Gear Button
Clicking the gear button will expand another option called Expand Markup to Full Width of Page. Checking this box will take any markup that is made for the rules and extend it from the left margin of the image to the right margin of the image.
Markup SubType
Specified whether to place a Black, White, or Text markup. If text is selected custom text can be input for the markup, otherwise, the default text markup language will be used. If the highlight is selected, this option will be replaced with choices for yellow, blue, green, orange, pink, and purple.
Word/phrase are the words, phrases, and text that needs to be redacted across the document set. Multiple words or phrases can be added to a single rule group. These rules are case insensitive.
Regular expressions can be used to identify important patterns like email addresses, social security numbers, credit card numbers, and any other content that may appear regularly throughout the document set that constitutes sensitive information. Regular expressions require a name and an expression. After saving the project, these regular expressions will be available to be selected by name on other projects within the same case.
Rules do not need to be added to create a project. Rules may be uploaded afterward, or, the project can be edited and add them later.
Blackout uses the PCRE flavor of regular expression and runs with the global flag (/g), multi-line flag (/m), and case insensitive flag (/i) enabled by default. The case-insensitive flag can be modified inline by adding (?-i) to turn off and (?i) to enable.
A sample project that looks for and redacts 'Tim Randall' and any social security number would look like this.
Uploading Rules from CSV
After successfully creating the image project, rules can be added via uploading a template CSV.
The CSV template and explanation of the columns can be downloaded from the Milyli help center.
Thousands of rules.
Blackout can support up to 100,000 rules being created via CSV. It is important to note that extra rules mean each doc takes a little bit longer to process as the Excel content needs to be checked for each rule!
- From the project view screen, click the Upload rules CSV button.
- Navigate to the completed CSV.
- Click the upload icon.
- If the CSV file is valid, the rules will be created and the button will display the number of rules.
Running an Image Project
When a project is in a valid state to run, with a name, saved search, markup set, and rules, the status message of the project view screen will display that is ready to run.
To begin the project, click the Run button. Once the project begins running, the project will be queued and then start being processed by the Blackout Worker Agent.
Project queued
The project enters the queued state letting the Blackout Worker Agents know to start working on the documents
Documents prepared
The number of documents that have been distributed to the system as tasks for markup review
Documents completed
The number of documents that have completed markup review which can result in markups being placed if there are rules matches
Progress bar
Displays the number of actions completed for preparation and review. The light blue color represents document preparation and the dark blue represents markup review.
Time elapsed
The total time the project has processed
Current activity
The current activities that the Blackout Worker Agents are performing which include preparation, reviewing, and marking up. The most recent action is shown at the top along with when it began. Clicking the down arrow will display the currently active tasks and when the task began.
Begins the stop operation which will cancel all unfinished work for the project. Work completed to that point will remain and can be reverted
After the project completes, a results page displays information about the completed work and provides a launchpad for further quality review.
Documents marked up
The total number of documents that have had markups placed on them by Blackout using the rules from this run.
Clicking this button will navigate to a saved search of all of the documents that have been marked up.
Pages marked up
The total number of pages for each marked up documents that have had markups placed on them.
Clicking this button will navigate to a saved search of all of the documents that have been marked up.
Markups placed
The total number of markups that have been placed, both redaction and highlight, by Blackout using the rules from this run.
Clicking this button will navigate to a saved search of all of the documents that have been marked up.
Documents to review
While Blackout does not require extracted text to review an image and place markups on, whenever extracted text is available it will perform an automated quality review on the placed markups.
This happens by looking at the number of matches that the project terms have in the extracted text and comparing them to the number of placed markups. If a rule has less placed markups than there are matches in the extracted text, the rule is flagged and the document is marked for review.
A full detailed walkthrough of the document review process is covered later in this document.
Clicking this button will navigate to a saved search of the documents requiring review.
Documents with warnings
The number of documents that encountered a non-project breaking warning.
Clicking this button will download a CSV of the document warnings that includes information about what happened and any error messages. Providing this CSV to Milyli can greatly assist in diagnosing any issues that may have been encountered.
Typical reasons for warnings include missing images or failed OCR.
Projects are, by design, incremental. After the project has run, clicking the Run button again will queue the project up again and process any new documents in the document source. As a result, the history section will show the work that the project has performed and the results of said work.
Reverting an Image Project
Occasionally the markups created by a spreadsheet project may need to be reverted. This need may arise when rules need to be modified or a case settles.
- From the project view screen, click the Revert button.
- A dialogue will appear; confirm reverting the project.
- The project will be queued.
- The Blackout Worker Agents will pick it up and begin reverting the documents marked up by the project.
- A progress bar will display how many documents have been reverted.

The combined companies recognised the need to upgrade their IT systems in order to improve performance and reliability along with enhancing the flow of information between TSS and its IT consultants. The current lack of transparency made monitoring foreseeable problems difficult which ultimately resulted in unacceptable down time.
Trilogy and TSS' service provider implemented a virtualised infrastructure, providing a lower carbon footprint, greater manageability and flexible services deployment. This enables the three companies to run core administration and operational systems while offering business continuity and off-site disaster recovery. An IT Managed Services solution was then integrated providing infrastructure monitoring and support for all TSS's servers, PCs, laptops, networking, storage and security. The Managed IT Service also provides TSS with experienced, qualified specialists to handle all IT hardware and software needs.
TSS now has transparency across the IT infrastructure with Trilogy's edge/point portal. They are connected to Trilogy's IT service desk ensuring every issue is visible and supported. A dedicated Trilogy team remotely monitors TSS' network, servers and PCs to ensure applications are running at optimum levels. The IT Managed Services solution also conducts routine automated tasks including weekly patch management, service packs, spyware scan and disk defrag on every PC and laptop.

The mission of Worldwide Endometriosis March (EndoMarch) is being hosted to bring awareness to endometriosis around the world. Dr. CamranNezhat from San Francisco, President and Founder of EndoMarch has appointed Dr. Rooma Sinha from Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad as Team Captain for India, Hyderabad. The EndoMarch hosted at Hyderabad was flagged of by Ms. Sangita Reddy, Jt. Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals at Apollo Cradle, Jubilee Hills, on Saturday. She joined by Cine Actress Ms. Rakul Preet Singh, Doctors, volunteers, walked up to Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, to raise awareness about endometriosis.
Speaking on the occasion Ms. Sangita Reddy said, I appreciate Dr. Rooma Sinha and EndoMarch for raising awareness about something very often forgotten, very often as many Indian women do to just tolerate and you tolerate the pain, you don't take care of yourself and therefore it is important that awareness is raised about this. The EndoMarch is a global phenomenon, because women all over the world are united and standing up to say that we must do something about this and on behalf of Apollo I would like to say that we are committed, we have the technology, the skill sets, the capabilities to bring back smiles to many women. The cause goes beyond the EndoMarch, the call is for good health for women and good health for India, she added.
Ms. Rakul Preet Singh said, this is a problem which is very common, but there is a general psyche that lot of girls don't like to talk about any of their personal problems anything to do with that time of the month, they think that having pain is a very regular thing, it is ok to have painful cycles and they shy away from talking about it. But let's face the fact that it's all very natural, we are blessed with it, we should be proud of it, if you are facing problems you need to bring it up, we need to address it. I would like to just spread that message that any of you are having that problem, please don't shy away from addressing it, because it always good to take precautions rather than being late. It's a great cause I am very happy that you reached out to me for associating with it. Endometriosis is often a prolonged and progressive problem that women may suffer for many years in their lives. A potential cause of debilitating pain it can cause organ damage, infertility, and other severe and life-threatening medical consequences if left inadequately treated, said Dr. Rooma Sinha.
There is urgency for endometriosis awareness and advancement of endometriosis research. Joining hands with this international event, which is happening TODAY all over the world is to empower, educate and care for women suffering from endometriosis. EndoMarch is organised worldwide, every year on last Saturday of March (Worldwide Endometriosis Day®), to bring awareness for endometriosis.
Tissue that forms the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is sometimes present in other places in some women. These sites can be ovaries, fallopian tubes, cul-de-sac (behind uterus), intestines, rectum, bladder.
Endometrial tissue outside the uterus also responds to changes in hormones each month. It also breaks down and bleeds like the lining of the uterus during the menstrual cycle every month. The bleeding inside the uterus has a passage to come out as menstrual bleeding. The bleeding at these extra uterine sites collect and forms cysts (chocolate cysts) or adhesions. This can cause pain, especially before and during period. Endometriosis is found in about one third of infertile women.
* Young women in their reproductive age
* Women with infertility
* Women with uterine defects like septum or bicornuate uterus
* It can run in the family
Pelvic pain (pain in lower abdomen and back) is most common symptom. Such pain may occur with sex, during bowel movements or urination, or just before or during menstrual cycle. Menstrual bleeding may occur more than normal or in abnormal pattern. One third women who suffer from infertility have Endometriosis. Feeling of gaseous distension around the periods is also a non-specific presentation. Some women with endometriosis may have no symptoms.
DIAGNOSIS is made by detailed clinical history and Pelvic examination. Imaging modalities like Ultrasonography or MRI helps in diagnosis in later stages of the disease. Laparoscopy-Visual inspection is the standard method in diagnosing endometriosis
TREATMENT remains often prolonged for women who suffer from endometriosis. But cure is possible so never lose hope. Treatment is available in form of medical and surgical therapy and is offered depending on the problems that she is facing with. Mild disease is treated with medication, however for severe pain or infertility surgical treatment is a time-tested method and necessary. Newer medications are now being approved for use and may make difference for these women in the coming years.
Today Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard in treatment of endometriosis but needs expertise and experience. Therefore, it is recommended that endometriosis surgery should be done at centres with experience and adequate infrastructure. Two new modalities in surgical treatment of endometriosis is Laser and the assistance of Computer assisted Robotic surgery. We at Apollo Hospital at Hyderabad are fortunate to use not just laparoscopic skills but also Laser and Robotic assistance to improve outcomes in women with endometriosis. In cases of infertility these women may require assisted reproductive techniques as well.

Emma M flew back to Bristol yesterday after an excellent visit. She and Miranda painstakingly worked through some puzzles in Jeanette and Ros's old data (not just to double-check, but as essential prep to make sure when new animals were added, new medians would be calculated correctly). As an example, one of the many strange problems they had to solve was, just how many jaguars called "Pelé" are there in Brazilian zoos?
The two were helped by Jeanette herself on Tuesday night. Here is everyone in an Ethiopian restaurant on Bloor Street (left to right, Miranda, Emma and J.). We really should have toasted Ros, who started all of this!
Best of all, after all the small corrections had been added, the new data integrated, and an executive decision made about some highly suspect data on fossas, our old result re-emerged: naturally large home ranges still predict stereotypic route-tracing (exciting because for a few weeks it had vanished, making Miranda and I sweat a bit). Below, Emma and Miranda show how relieved they are (in front of their meticulous attempt to work out which lynx was which across three confusing Scottish studies from the late 90s).

Bruce Fottler is the author of Paladin's Odyssey (buy it here on Amazon), a sci-fi pandemic thriller that I have not read; however, that kick-ass cover art is calling my name. Look at it, it's begging to be read. Oh, if my list weren't so long I could get to it sooner. In the meantime, Bruce agreed to answer my questions about his book (among other things). True to form, I also asked him unrelated but important questions. We talked about equity valuations, how to skate internal controls and defraud multi-national corporations, and the art of toilet paper roll replacement. Here's how it went down: (more…)

WORK to create a 350-seat conference and entertainments venue has got underway on Driffield showground.
The Rix Pavilion – a partnership between Driffield Agricultural Society and family fuel company Rix Petroleum – underwent the tradition turf-cutting ceremony earlier this week.
Due to open in March next year, it will provide East Riding residents and community groups with a new facility to stage events, shows and theatrical performances, as well as attracting businesses to stage conferences in the town.
Driffield Agricultural Society Chairman, John Clancy, described the turf-cutting ceremony as a 'historic moment' for the society and the town.
He said: "The Rix Pavilion will provide a state-of-the-art venue to Driffield and brings greater options to this part of Yorkshire. It will have a positive impact for the agricultural society and the town itself, as we will be able to host business conferences and a whole range of new events, building upon our already successful events diary.
The turf-cutting ceremony was attended by representatives of the agricultural society, Beverley building contractors Tokenspire Construction Ltd which will be carrying out the work, Hull air conditioning company Airco, East Riding Archaeology and John Rix, Chairman of J.R. Rix & Sons Ltd.
Mr Rix said: "We have exhibited at Driffield Agricultural show for 67 years and have always had a good relationship with the society. The Rix Pavilion builds on that relationship and we are delighted to be able to support it."

Former unified Super Middleweight champion, Andre "S.O.G" Ward (29-0, 15 KOs) has firmly placed his feet in the Light Heavyweight division with no misleading intentions–he wants to challenge the IBF, WBA and WBO titleholder Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev (29-0-1, 26 KOs).
Ward is scheduled to get his chance at Kovalev as a contract has been signed for the two to face one another on November 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. This fight is highly anticipated as it will showcase two of the world's best pound-for-pound fighters going toe to toe in what is sure to be a historic matchup.
The always deliberate Ward has created an effective road map for his path to Kovalev. Ward and HBO have a three-fight contract in place. In his first fight of the HBO contract, Ward won a unanimous decision over then undefeated power puncher, Sullivan Barrera. With this win Ward also earned the IBF's No. 1 ranked Light Heavyweight contender position.
Some questioned that Ward would be able to seamlessly transition to his new, heavier weight class. His victory against Barrera proved otherwise as Barrera was the biggest fighter Ward has ever faced as a professional and he handled him with great conviction.
The second fight of Ward's HBO contract is set to take place Saturday, August 6, at Oracle Arena, in his hometown of Oakland, CA, as he faces Alexander Brand (25-1, 19 Kos) for a scheduled 12-round Light Heavyweight bout.
Ward is a special caliber of gifted athlete and a rare breed of talent that only happens once every few generations. The Oakland native has won two 168-pound world titles with ease and effectively cleared out all opposition before exiting the Super Middleweight division.
Ward is the only male, American boxer to claim an Olympic gold medal within the last decade, which he obtained during the 2008 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
Perhaps to understand just how gifted of a boxer Ward truly is, one would need to hear one more enamoring achievement; Ward has not lost a single boxing bout since he was 12 years old.
Brand is a familiar name to the Ward camp as he was originally scheduled to make his debut as a Light Heavyweight against Brand on November 21, 2015, as the co-main event of Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez's Middleweight championship bout live on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Unfortunately, this bout did not occur as Ward sustained knee swelling during camp and was forced to withdraw from the matchup.
As the two are now set to cross paths again, Brand, 39, of Columbia, undoubtedly would love to be the one to derail Ward's ascension towards Kovalev as he attempts to capitalize on this fight opportunity. Brand's only loss is at the hands of now current WBO Super Middleweight champion Badou Jack. Since the loss, Brand has gone on to win his last eight fights. Ward, nonetheless will certainly be Brand's toughest opponent to date.
In discussion of his upcoming bout on a recent media conference call, Ward explained his thoughts.
[otw_shortcode_quote border="bordered" border_style="bordered"]
As always I'm preparing my body and my mind, my spirit for war and in this case it will be August 6. I'm ready. I'm just excited to be active and I'm ready to answer any questions you guys have…he's no bum. He's the type of guy who puts his head down and swings for the fences. Those are very dangerous guys, and to be honest with you, it's easier fighting the top guys with more form and more technique than it is fighting a guy who has nothing to lose.
Being a superior technician, Ward should look to out box Brand, staying operative behind his jab and catching him with effective blows as he comes in. Ward is known as a very intelligent and highly composed fighter who is not easily shaken or taken off of his game plan.
Ward is consistent in his speed, power and fighting style. He is deliberate and also highly defensive; he will make you miss, and then make you pay.
Ward knows he must focus on his current task at hand and not look too far ahead. "I have to compartmentalize what I have to do right now. That's just kind of how I operate and how I stay focused. I don't want to juggle two opponents right now. I have to focus on one guy and that's Alexander Brand on August 6. I will not take him lightly," said Ward.
"If I'm not successful August 6, there is no fight down the road with me and Kovalev and I'm very clear about that it's not just a fight for me. It's very important for me to look good in that fight, to my standard and to my team's standard. I have a certain amount of pressure on myself to go out there, perform and hopefully, look good doing it" said Ward.
Ward's ability to focus, his abundant success, and spotless technique however are not in question. Ward should beat Brand without a doubt. The real question is can he do it severely enough to strike fear throughout the 175-pound division?
Kovalev knows Ward is coming for him, but a highly-venomous performance this Saturday would certainly put some exclamation behind his coming attack.

What is the Difference between a Cold and the Flu?
Flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses but they are caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses have similar symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. In general, flu is worse than the common cold, and symptoms are more intense. Colds are usually milder than flu. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections, or hospitalizations.No Headlines to display

Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday! After a hectic week of work, it was nice to stay in this weekend and just c.h.i.l.l.
I think it is really important to take some time for yourself. Do something you love for yourself. Take that time to appreciate you. It doesn't have to be expensive, lavish or time consuming. It just needs to mean something to you. Whether it's exercise, a massage or reading a good book, make it a point to do it.
For me it was a massage I had bought months ago from a BuyWithMe deal I found. This was a perfect way to begin my Sunday. It allowed me to de-stress and feel rejuvenated for the week ahead. Web deals such as Groupon, BuyWithMe, or Living Social are a great way to purchase pampering gifts at a reduced rate.
So sit back. Take a deep breath. Take a time out. Allow yourself to hit the refresh button and start the week on the right track.
You deserve it.

One of the more interesting tidbits to be discussed about GOP presidential front-runner Michelle Bachmann in the current issue of the New Yorker is that one of the books she kept listed on her website as a "must read" was a biography of Robert E. Lee by J. Steven Wilkins. Wilkins is a revisionist historian that seeks to downplay or even glorify the Souths' tradition of slavery. From the book:
Slavery, as it operated in the pervasively Christian society which was the old South, was not an adversarial relationship founded upon racial animosity. In fact, it bred on the whole, not contempt, but, over time, mutual respect. This produced a mutual esteem of the sort that always results when men give themselves to a common cause. The credit for this startling reality must go to the Christian faith. . . The unity and companionship that existed between the races in the South prior to the war was the fruit of a common faith.
Got that? Because Africans were forcibly converted to Christianity, they didn't mind being slaves at all but rather worked extra hard to enrich their white owners. For Jesus.
This is the rising star of the GOP. If you are even contemplating voting for this woman, you are a goddamn idiot.
Last month Bachmann also signed a controversial pledge last month, which stated;
Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA's first African-American President.

Ive just got back from a fabulous event – It was at AFC Hornchurch and was put together to raise money for the Miscarriage Association.
The weather was a little disappointing, but the people who turned out were all bloody wonderful.
I got to snuggle with Paul's little one (Paul is one of our players) and me and his partner Emma, had a great time chatting.. I also saw a new friend, Tracey someone Ive only recently met threw our mutual friend Linda.. She has confided she has Fibro too… I feel so terrible for her.. Its awful.
Our friend Linda came too – Shes absolutely adorable and someone I clicked with the very first time I met her. She is bright, funny and has a beautiful soul. Shes been to many of the events I help with. She doesn't have to, but she does.. We have an event in October, which she has invited me to – its an evening and I am feeling a little guilty as I don't know if I will be able to go..
You see my head is saying – GO ON – You're a party animal (YES I WAS) – But I will really have to dose up on Tablets etc – I am not sure how Ill be..
Any how, today my limbs are today as heavy as lead and I have a headache from hell. I have a handbag full of pills which makes me look like a drug dealer, but is essential to get through a whole day out.
My boys played fantastically as always – I am so proud of the team. They all do this for completely the right reason. Always for the benefit of others – Every single one of them are angels in my eyes…
Im done for now.. So tired and my thoughts are all over the place..

Pay Guidelines Released
The SLNA pay guidelines for Song Leaders have been completed, and published on our website. Follow the menu item to the left, or click here: PAY GUIDELINES.
During the drafting of these guidelines we realised that we needed to begin addressing the very next question: how do choirs meet their financial obligations to song leaders and others? Clearly a 'user pays' model doesn't fit well in the arts in general, certainly not for community-based accessible participation in the arts. This funding guide is here: FUNDING.

United Kingdom
Places To Go
With four separate countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and a capital in the heart of Europe's economic and cultural life (London), the UK is a very popular touristic destination. While most travelers only visit London, for its unique personality, iconic landmarks or strong art and food scene; there is much more to see in the UK.
London is a fascinating city laden with history, filled with museums and art galleries, beautiful green parks, fantastic shopping and dining, a vibrant theatre scene, and, of course, royalty. London is truly a city that has it all. The changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace is a not-to-be-missed experience, as is watching the minutes tick away at Big Ben, probably the world's most famous clock. Another London must is riding a double-decker bus across Tower Bridge over the Thames River.
The Scottish Highlands
The Scottish Highlands is the rugged northern and northwestern portion of Scotland. This is the Scotland conjured up by visions of tartan, kilts, lochs and Braveheart. The area is very sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis. Among its most popular attractions is Eilean Donan Castle, a real picture postcard castle and Loch Ness, Scotland's most famous lakes.
One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones in south west England. It is also home to some of the most important Neolithic and Bronze Age finds and structures in the UK, and contains some 200 scheduled monuments. From about 2500BC, Neolithic and Bronze Age man started to bring Bluestones and Sarsen stones from Wales and the Marlborough Downs. It was not until 1600BC that Stonehenge came to be completed.
Visitors to Edinburgh need to be prepared to experience history, from the cobblestone streets to Edinburgh Castle that is symbolic of Scotland's capital. Edinburgh is steeped in history, beginning with the Old and New Towns, which have more than 4,500 historic buildings and sites between them. Old Town is home to Edinburgh's most famous street, the Royal Mile that connects Edinburgh Castle with the Palace of Holyroodhouse. New Town isn't really new, since it dates back to the 18th century and is best known for its neoclassical architecture.
York is a walled city with a rich heritage located where the River Foss meets the River Ouse. An impressive number of attractions are packed into the space of this ancient city. One of the city's landmarks is York Minster. This commanding stone cathedral is filled with remarkable works of art. York is one of the largest pedestrian zones in Europe, which means getting around without transport is not difficult.
Cornwall is a study in contrasts. It is charming and quaint, yet rugged and isolated. Located in the westernmost point of the United Kingdom, Cornwall is a peninsula that offers rocky cliffs overlooking the sea on its northern side and golden sand beaches that are loved by tourists on the south.
Not far from the border with Wales, the city of Chester lies on the River Dee in Cheshire, England. The city is more than 2,000 years old, which means there is plenty of history, culture and architecture on hand spanning several eras. Distinctive 19th century black-and-white revival architecture can be found throughout the city. The Roman and medieval walls encircling the city are one of Chester's biggest tourist attractions.
Snowdonia is an awesome national park. There is simply no other way to describe the stunning 360-degree views of the mountains, valleys and coast below. On a clear day, visitors can even see Ireland. Located along the coast of Wales, Snowdonia is home to Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales and England, and the largest lake in Wales. It is the third largest national park in the United Kingdom.
The Lake District
Located in north west England in the county of Cumbria, the Lake District is the second largest National Park in the UK. The main attractions are the lakes, mountains and hills carved by glacial erosion and providing dramatic and inspiring scenery. It is England's premier destination for hiking and climbing. Among the most popular places to visit in the United Kingdom, the park is visited by about 14 million tourists each year.
Cambridge is a charming English city located on the River Cam just north of London. As the home to one of the world's top universities, the University of Cambridge, it has all of the cultural and entertainment options you might expect from a college town. The King's College Chapel, situated along the River Cam, is considered a fine example of perpendicular Gothic architecture and is one of the most visited sights in the city.
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has a temperate climate, with plentiful rainfall all year round.[130] The temperature varies with the seasons seldom dropping below −11 °C (12 °F) or rising above 35 °C (95 °F).[142] The prevailing wind is from the south-west and bears frequent spells of mild and wet weather from the Atlantic Ocean, although the eastern parts are mostly sheltered from this wind since the majority of the rain falls over the western regions the eastern parts are therefore the driest.
Atlantic currents, warmed by the Gulf Stream, bring mild winters; especially in the west where winters are wet and even more so over high ground. Summers are warmest in the south-east of England, being closest to the European mainland, and coolest in the north. Heavy snowfall can occur in winter and early spring on high ground, and occasionally settles to great depth away from the hills
United Kingdom
Safety Tips
While a very safe country, some parts of the UK's cities are best to be avoided, and pickpockets can be a problem near some touristic landmarks in London. Make sure you have a safe trip in the UK and be aware of all potential dangers.
The UK is the 33rd safest country in the world, based on the safest and most dangerous countries ranking.
As all European countries, the UK is a safe country. Violent crime is low, and most tourists will never be bothered by safety concerns other that petty crime.
Urban Centers
London and other cities, some areas with a lot of bars and nightclub can get dangerous at night, where intoxicated people are sometimes easy targets for muggers. Sport events – such as soccer games – can end with some violence between teams.In some cities, some neighborhoods are pretty nasty and risky for tourists – refer to local advice or our city guides to know which parts are better avoided.
Crossing lanes can be an issue since people drive on the left side of the road, and every year tourists get run over because they forgot to look before crossing the road.
Petit Crime
Pickpockets are an issue in urban areas cities or at crowded events. Travelers should also know that pickpockets often work in teams, and sometimes even in conjunction with street vendors. Begging is not uncommon in some larger cities, but not to a greater extent than in most other major cities, and you will rarely experience aggressive beggars. Some beggars are organized in groups. Be aware that flashing any cardboard sign very near to your body could be a pickpocket trick.Be especially vigilant for bag and phone thieves at transport hubs like train stations, airports, restaurants, outdoor cafes, beaches and on public transport.
Recent terrorist attacks have happened in England and neighboring countries (France and Belgium);and while tourists should raise their level of caution, the police presence has been greatly increased in large cities to deter further attacks.
Emergency Call
For any emergency, call the free European-wide number 112 (or 999).
Risk ratings
The United Kingdom is a very safe country. It is ranked 33th out of 162 on the ranking of the safest and most dangerous countries.
There is some pickpocket-related risk in the United Kingdom. A few simple precautions will minimize your chances of being pick-pocketed. Take a look at the city maps to see the most frequent pickpockets locations.
The United Kingdom is an averagely safe country regarding the chances of being mugged or kidnapped. Be aware of dangerous zones by asking local advice.
As in any touristic place, there may be people trying to scam you in The United Kingdom. Be aware of "gold ring" tricks, fake petitions, groups of teenagers acting strangely or trying to distract you; and people offering help with your luggage.
Transports and taxis are generally very safe in the UK.
There are no natural hazards in the United Kingdom, other than incessant rain!
The United Kingdom has been targeted by terrorist attacks, but it is best to stay alert.

Thomas More College to Host Workshop for
Catholics Engaged in the New Media
(Merrimack, New Hampshire)— Throughout his pontificate, Pope Benedict XVI has called on the faithful to utilize the new media to serve the Church and spread the Gospel. Technological advances continue to open new means of communication, and it is often difficult for those engaged in the world of digital communications to stay ahead of the curve.
In response to the Holy Father's call, the Thomas More College of Liberal Arts announced today that it is hosting an intensive three-day retreat entitled "Christ & The New Media" for those seeking to spread the perennial truths of the Catholic Church through the new media. The Program will be held from August 4 thru 7.
Led by leaders in online journalism, blogging, and digital communications, this program will assist priests and laymen in employing the latest generation of images, videos, animated features, blogs and websites so they can open up broad new vistas for dialogue, evangelization, and catechesis.
Funded by a grant from the Koch Foundation of Gainesville, Florida, the Workshop will be beneficial to both beginners and seasoned professionals as they are taught how to craft their message more effectively, respond productively to those with whom they disagree, fully leverage social networking sites, and more effectively integrate the latest in audio, visual, and text. Moreover, participants will develop life-long friendships with others who are seeking to defend and promote the teachings of the Catholic Church in our age.
The Program will feature lectures and panel discussions by Alejandro Bermudez, editor of the Catholic News Agency; Phil Lawler, Editor of CatholicCulture.org; Tony Assaf, Editor of the Arabic Edition of Zenit News; and John and Ashley Noronha, of H2oNews.org.
"Pope Benedict XVI has called on the faithful, especially priests, to utilize the new media to serve the Church and spread the Gospel," said Thomas More College President William Fahey. "By bringing together a team of professional leaders in this new and developing field, Thomas More College is advancing a valid and effective instrument for authentic evangelization and communion."
The new media offers a new and deeper means of communicating the perennial truths of the Catholic Church, especially to young people. More than 350 million people read at least one blog every day, and more than 60% of those readers are between the ages of 18 and 44. In fact, according to one recent study, 77% of active Internet users regularly read blogs, and as many are active in social networking sites.
"There exists a tremendous—and largely untapped—opportunity to spread the Gospel through the world of digital communications," added Fahey. "By attending the Christ & the New Media Program, priests and laymen alike will be better able to employ the latest technology to advance the Church's mission of evangelization and catechesis.
More information and a schedule for the Christ & The New Media workshop can be found at http://www.thomasmorecollege.edu/summerprogram.
The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts provides a four-year undergraduate education which develops young people intellectually, ethically, and spiritually in the Catholic tradition and in faithfulness to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Thomas More College introduces its students to the central questions of Western Civilization—and to the Church's response. It teaches students how to reason, engage in academic discourse, and to write. Students from Thomas More College are shaped into becoming faithful leaders who will be able to pursue the individual vocations which God has given each of them.
