Delivered by the Queen in her speech at the state opening of parliament, the government outlines its political priorities, promising to "bring different parts of the country together."
The main priorities set out in the speech were:
The government will bring forward legislation for a referendum on whether the UK should stay in the European Union before the end of 2017, promising to "pursue reform of the EU for the benefit of all member states."
The government has promised "to ensure that people on the national minimum wage, working up to 30 hours a week, do not pay income tax." It also said it would enshrine in law a pledge not to raise income tax, VAT or national insurance rates for the next five years.
It will bring in a new requirement on ministers to report annually on job creation and apprenticeships.
The Conservative government has pledged to bring in a new Investigatory Powers Bill to "modernise the law on communications' data". In 2013 a Communications Data Bill – labelled a "snoopers' charter" by critics, was shelved due to opposition from Lib Dem ministers within the coalition government.
The government insists that because the law is not keeping up with technological developments the ability of intelligence agencies to track illegl activity by terrorists, paedophiles and other criminals has been compromised.
Promising to "bring different parts of the country together", the government will bring in laws to allow increased devolution to cities which agree to having a "metro mayor".
It also pledged to "secure a strong and lasting constitutional settlement, devolving wide-ranging powers to Scotland and Wales", promising to work with devolved administrations "on the basis of mutual respect."
The government's enthusiasm for costly infrastructure upgrades was underlined with its pledge to continue to "legislate for high-speed rail links between the different parts of the country".
Promising to change the workings of the House of Commons, the government pledged to "create fairer procedures to ensure that decisions affecting England, or England and Wales, can be taken only with the consent of the majority of Members of Parliament representing constituencies in those parts of our United Kingdom".
In the wake of the 2014 Scottish Referendum, David Cameron pledged action on the question of English votes for English laws, to address the anomaly that Scottish and Welsh MPs can vote on matters only affecting English voters, but English MPs cannot do the same in reverse.
Measures will be brought forward "to help working people by greatly increasing the provision of free childcare". The Conservative Party manifesto promised to give working parents of three and four-year-olds in England 30 hours of free childcare for 38 weeks a year (matching school terms).

At present the government funds 15 hours each week for this group, and experts say that even this amount is already underfunded.
Controversial plans to allow housing association tenants rights to buy their home will be introduced. Ministers have insisted that any home sold must be replaced by a the local council on a one-for-one basis.
But critics say the policy will mean the amount of affordable social housing will decrease over time. The National Housing Federation has described the policy as "like trying to fill a bathtub with the plug taken out."
The government promised new laws to reform trade unions and to protect essential public services against strikes. Its plans to make going on strike more difficult by requiring that 50 per cent of the members must take part in a strike ballot and 40 per cent of those who do vote must back any strikes in public services such as health, education, fire and transport.
Union leaders have been quick to point out that the government came into office with just 36.9 per cent of the popular vote in the general election.

The government promised a new Psychoactive Substance Bill, to "ban the new generation of psychoactive drugs" and crack down on head shops which sell them. Producers and suppliers of "legal highs" could face up to seven years in prison, but the personal possession of such drugs will not be targeted by the new law.
Promising to implement the five-year-plan set out by the NHS, the government said it would increase the health budget, integrate health and social care, and ensure the NHS works on a seven-day-a-week basis. It also pledged measures to improve access to GPs and to mental health care.
An increase in the number of academies is looking likely, with new measures to speed up the process of taking over failing schools. In addition schools that are currently thought to be "coasting" rather than working to increase standards, face being taken over too.
The Conservative manifesto promise of a British Bill of Rights – to replace the Human Rights Act – has been kicked into the long grass for the time being, with the government promising to "bring forward proposals" on the issue. The government is facing strong opposition to the idea from within its own party, both in the Commons and the Lords.
There was no mention of a plan to scrap the fox hunting ban.
Charities that had campaigned for strengthened laws on tax dodging were disappointed that no such legislation was mentioned in today's speech, but the government's promise to "seek effective global collaboration" to tackle climate change, was welcomed.

One of the main safety features in your home is the locks on your doors. They are a key defence mechanism against burglars, intruders and unwanted guests entering your property. It is important that you replace the locks on your doors so your safety and security is never compromised and you can feel guarded and comfortable in your home. Here at 1stop Locksmiths Essex, we can help you to replace the locks on any door at your property using our skilled and efficient locksmiths.
Some of the reasons you may be required to replace your locks are:
Lost or Stolen Keys
If you have lost your keys or had them stolen, it is vital that you have your locks replaced immediately. If you fail to do so, your old set of keys could end up in the wrong hands and an intruder or burglar could let themselves into your home. If you find that you lose your keys a lot, it may be worth considering a smart lock for your home. This is a lock which is operated by using a security code and it could save you from a lot of worry and panic from repeatedly your losing keys.
An Occupant Has Moved Out
When an occupant moves out of your home, it is strongly recommended that you replace your locks. Whether it be a family member, friend, tenant or roommate; unwanted visits and entries to your home can be avoided by a simple lock replacement. Previous occupants may have lost a key, made a copy or accidentally left them in possession of someone who could have made copies and distributed them. This greatly increases your risk of break-ins and unwanted intruders, so its simply not worth the risk by keeping the same locks.
Moving into a New Property
It is always a good idea to replace your locks when moving into a new property. Although the home is yours, there is no way of knowing who may have made copies of your key or if previous tenants or homeowners still hold a key for your property.
Wear and tear
The older your locks are, the less strong and efficient they will be. You may find that your locks are becoming weak or stiff, this may be an indicator that your locks are not performing as they should be and could make break-ins and intruders gain easier access to your home. If your door shows any signs of damage, weaknesses, rust or wear, you should get your locks replaced as soon as possible to avoid any potential risks.
After a break-in
In the unfortunate event of a burglary or break-in, it is vital that you change your locks immediately. Burglars or intruders may have tampered with your locks and damaged them, this leaves your home vulnerable and becomes easy target for further break-ins. The burglar may have even taken a set of keys for your property and made copies, this is why you should have them replaced without any hesitation.

The intense, beautiful and eerie single, 'Flavour' from Tori Amos' newest album 'Gold Dust', is a journey through New-York city's urban landscape. WHAT? Magazine was behind the scenes as part of the creative team and is happy to report that although the video may be set in New York City, it was a thoroughly trans-Atlantic affair.
Ms. Amos effortlessly worked her edgy and chic looks from the top of her flame-haired head, to the exquisite shoes hugging her toes and to her famous finger tips (might we add) where you will find none other than London's own Nail Rock making their statement.
These boldly designed nail-wraps are not for the faint-hearted; with graphic designs, bright colours and easy application, they were perfect for adding a finishing touch for filming.
Sitting in a downtown coffee shop, Tori wore Nail Rock's Python print, a brilliant snakeskin effect that had every woman on set oohing and ahhing.
The closing scene of the video sees Tori on the West Side with a group of young club kids; an exchange between them reveals Nail Rock's glorious bright red nails with metallic gold moons glinting at the camera.
We at WHAT? Magazine pride ourselves on bringing you the latest and greatest that's out there, and now you too can re-create some of these nailtastic trends.
Visit http://www.nailrock.com for the full range, and get creative with those digits.

This cutter has amazing strength and will cut through padlocks, 16mm rebar, chain and security bars.
Originally designed for US law enforcement officers struggling to forcibly enter security-protected premises, the stubby cutter is great for forced entry, protestor release and, coupled with the HRS-935 door opener/jack, makes an excellent forced entry kit.
5. HRS-934 4 Tonne Spreader
The HRS spreader unit has very narrow blades and an extremely narrow body making the unit ideal for confined space operations. The spreader can be used either directly coupled to the HRS-931 pump or via a hydraulic hose which makes this a highly versatile tool.
Ideal for tight gaps where hands or limbs may need releasing from machinery, vehicles or perhaps collapsed building debris.
6. HRS-933 16mm Bar Cutter
Cutting solid steel bar has always proved difficult. Scissor cutters are at risk of slipping or breaking and the user is never really in control of the material being sliced.
The HRS-933 bar cutter can cut up to 16mm reinforced rebar and features a bar stabilisation bolt for true control. Supplied with 1m hose attached.
7. HRS-936/946 Door Opener/Jack
Method of Entry (MOE) and other tactical users requiring tools for breaching and door opening operations can choose between two specialist Ogura tools. HRS-936 is a very compact tool with 4 tonnes of power. HRS-946 has a larger 205 mm opening and 3.5 tonnes of lifting force. Both tools are ideal for door opening and breaching operations. When in the closed position both tools have very thin, but very tough, 3 mm blades. A strike plate on each of the tools allows users to force the tools into tight gaps in doors and panels. Both tools have a handy rubberised handle to aid carrying and positioning.
Tests prove that the batteries used on Ogura tools have at least twice the life of other power tool batteries. Intelligent charging means that each individual battery has its own charge profile dependent on use. This extends battery life, increases durability and means 30% more cuts per charge. Recharge time is only 22 minutes. Both in-vehicle and mains powered chargers are available.
Vimpex are able to offer various storage and carrying solutions including moulded trays for in-vehicle use, back pack carriers and vehicle tray/frame inserts.

If you were in Orchard at the start of the June holidays, there's no way you could have missed the two giant mobile suits guarding the doors of Takashimaya, Ngee Ann City. They were in town as part of a large exhibition to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the model kits and Singapore's 50th birthday.
Better known as RX-78-2 Gundam and MS-06S Char's Zaku II, the two are symbolic as leaders of Japan's Gundam culture, having been part of the original series in the 1979. There are over 200 design variations of Gunpla (Gundam plastic model), a common term used to refer to the toys, giving fans the option to build their favourite mobile suits and the ability to create their own.
Ngee Ann City's square in basement two was transformed into Gunpla heaven. There were plenty of things to see and even more to buy. There were rows of shelves filled with Gunpla, from the previous and current series and scales, for sale as well as other cool merchandise such as bags by Porter and clothes by Strict-G.
The highlight of the event was the limited edition RX-78-2 Gundam Ver. SG50 specially designed by Kunio Okawara, the series' key mechanic designer, for the nation's Golden Jubilee. A limited number of kits were available each day and they often sold out within a couple of hours.
There were also plenty of cool Gundam Docks at Singapore SG50 merchandise. Key to the Singaporean Gundam design was the SG50 logo on the chest plate, the Merlion and "Singapore" decals on the shield and the predominantly red and white colour scheme.
Okawara said his inspiration came from:
"the red and white colours of Singapore's national flag, and my impressions towards the beauty and cleanliness of the country".
Amongst the numerous artworks on display were paintings from previous series. Also on display were some 200 Gundams of various types, shapes and sizes.
And while some fans were happy gawking at the displays in the mall, others headed outdoors to find out what it would be like to stand under a Gundam and look up at it.
Plenty of fans took selfies with the friendly giants. There were also some lovely ladies dressed up in Gundam uniforms posing for fans. Those brave enough even went up to the Zaku II grunts standing in a row to guard the main entrance to Ngee Ann City.
Back inside, we managed to catch up with Okawara for an exclusive interview backstage.
5 questions with Kunio Okawara:
WAttention: What do you like about your job?
Okawara: The best part of my job is being able to give dreams to children watching Gundam.
WAttention: Which mobile suit is your favourite?
Okawara: Char's Zaku II. The Zaku is my favourite mobile suit. At the time it was not meant for Gunpla production,
so I had more time and freedom to design it as I liked. It took about a week for me to design it.
WAttention: What's the production process like for designing a Gundam?
Okawara: First I receive a story concept from the writers. Then I start to have ideas about what sort of world it is or what types of Gundams I should create. It usually takes about 6 months from designing the first draft to making the entire anime series. The trickiest part about the process, especially designing the Gunpla, and the part that takes the longest time, is trying to get everyone to agree. Trying to make the adjustments to please everyone is very hard.
WAttention: How do you feel when you see fans creating their own Gundams?
Okawara: It makes me happy to see fans creating their own Gundam designs. That was my plan. To begin with, the purpose of Gunpla was to invoke fans creativity to want to remodel the Gunpla. Of course, there are no good or bad designs. The most important thing is that the fans enjoy the process of making it. It is all about having fun. As long as they are having fun that is the best situation.
WAttention: Why do you think people like Gundam?
Okawara: Gundam and other giant robots, inspire people to imagine what could be – what the future could hold. I believe that this drives people to want to work hard, to want to create their own robots and make their dreams a reality. Gundam helps them fall in love with the idea of possibility – to make the impossible, possible. For instance, the Fukushima incident. Humans are not able to go near the core to fix it, but robots can. Even the government recognises this, that's why they have started to research and develop exosuits for that purpose. We have a lot of expectations from robots because they are able to do things that humans cannot. Gundam gives people this ability to dream, to think outside the box and the desire to see it come true. After a truly inspirational interview, Okawara graciously agreed to sign our Wing Gundam. He also noted that this series was particularly popular with teenage girls to the amusement of his translator.
The Gundam Docks at Singapore exhibition is now on till 28 June 2015 at Takashimaya Square, B2 and Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza.

Emil Bach House – 7415 N. Sheridan Rd., Chicago flwright.org.
Tours usually take place on Tues. & Weds. Call 708-725-3812 for tickets and times.
Q-tips say: Was a nice way to spend part of the 4th of July by touring Emil Bach House built by Frank Lloyd Frank. Emil Bach House is the smallest of the Frank Lloyd Wright homes that I've have been through. Not to say it isn't decently sized though as I think it is with two bedrooms and a study upstairs. When it was built it back up to the Lake but not any more.
Yes, you can rent it for a "Special Occasion" or a short time.

My daddy died March 2002 from congestive heart failure. I know that God is a Father to the fatherless. But I didn't get a chance to grieve the loss of my dad. I miss him dearly.
My oldest son was born on my Dad's birthday in 2009. It was hard for me because he favors my Dad so much.
To all the Father's enjoy your day but please remember those who grieve their dads as well.

Once you have made up your mind about the career choice in this domain, the sooner you start, the better it is for your editorial professional skills!

How to land a graduate job
It is autumn, another academic year has started and for many students out there it will be their final year at university. This means that they will have to find an internship or graduate work and transform gradually into the adult life. If it happens to be one of you, dear reader, you know that now is the right time to start thinking about what you are going to do after graduation.
There are different phases of the job hunting process that include deciding what you want to do in your professional life, asking yourself if you have the experience to match the requirements of the job you are interested in, the actual application process and the final stage – winning performance at the interview.
Although it might be partly true that getting a job is about being at the right place at the right time, such an extra effort as getting organized about your job hunting approach will serve you well in the years to come. So let's get started! Continue reading "How to land a graduate job"
4 Skills You Need for Your Job Interview: Student & Graduate Edition
It's already clear what college students are going to do in the summer, but what about the graduates? Quite an obvious answer would be looking for a job or internship, and to help them prepare them for the interviews, here is the list of skills that are considered to be the most useful in the current and future workspace.
- Effective problem solving
Time of jobs where you're only required to solve simple tasks that don't differ from each other is passing. Society is getting more and more complicated, and being able to efficiently tackle the arising problems is going to be really highly valued. Proactive thinking allows problem-solvers to work independently to a certain degree and does not need continuous supervision, and this facilitates work for every party.

Everybody loves a good ol' Irish pub (especially on St. Paddy's Day), and the MSP area sure does have quite a few of them. But what makes a pub "Irish"? Is it the beer selection? The whiskey? The beer and the whiskey? How about a bunch of 20-somethings drinking heavily and dancing on the bar while wearing "Kiss Me I'm Irish" T-shirts and those dumb shamrock sunglasses? Well, we like to think it's a mixture of all that (with the exception of the last one), with the added bonus of being a neighborhood favorite where you can have a few pints with some good friends -- and, sure, maybe even pair it with a plate of hearty food. Also whiskey. Definitely. There's got to be whiskey. And in the Twin Cities, yeah, we've got plenty of that.
Thrillist's Best (and the Rest): What You Actually Need to Know About Natural Wine
The Local
One of the city's most well-known Irish establishments, The Local has spent the past four years as a global leader in the sale (and pour) of Jameson Irish whiskey. Seriously, the place has even been honored for it. That aside, the beautiful wood décor, elaborate bars, and bountiful selection of alcohol (namely that whiskey) is what keeps it a solid staple for Twin Cities pub-goers. And sure, the fish & chips and whiskey-honey glazed chicken shots help as well.
Morrissey's Irish Pub
There's just something about Irish pubs in the Twin Cities that lead to massive whiskey sales (which may or may not speak to the people of MSP in general). Morrissey's purports to be the biggest seller of Powers Irish whiskey in the state, and even claims to sell more Greenore than anywhere else in the entire US. It was also apparently the first Irish pub in Uptown Minneapolis, which pretty much makes it a historical landmark (in our whiskey-glazed eyes). This place has a rather dark atmosphere inside, but don't let it deter you from the great live music and delicious Irish-inspired snacks it offers at the bar and tableside.
The Liffey
Downtown St. Paul
Considering the size of the Irish population in St. Paul, you'd expect to find some fairly decent pubs. And this sister bar to The Local is just that. The bar was actually built in Ireland before being assembled on-site, and given its location near the Xcel Energy Center, it's basically the best place to grab a pre-hockey shot of whiskey. If you've been keeping up with its Facebook page, it's pretty obvious The Liffey is getting ready for a serious St. Paddy's Day celebration.
Merlins Rest
Oh, how we love Merlin's! This place is easily one of the most colorful bars in the Twin Cities -- especially since it frequently has bagpipers marching around the bar banging out tunes. Also, it boasts the largest selection of single malt Scotches and Irish whiskeys in the state. And if you think that's an exaggeration, just ask to see the menu; your server will come back with what's referred to as the "Scotch bible": a binder filled with all the different brown liquors offered. What also makes this place so great is that it does (somewhat) frequent tastings, and makes a decent cottage pie.
Emmett's Public House
Summit Hill
This Grand Ave pub is a great place to grab a pint and shot with a few friends. It has a hearty selection of Irish-inspired food (get those curried beer & whiskey mussels NOW) and is the only place in town (that we're aware of) that offers corned beef & colcannon.
The Dubliner Pub
St. Anthony Park
This place basically bleeds green, featuring live Irish music six nights a week and an Irish dance night every Wednesday. But don't worry, it's not all music and clogging; it also has a pretty solid draft list and a variety of whiskeys (shocking, we know) to wash them all down.
Patrick McGovern's
West 7th
This friendly neighborhood pub has been pouring pints under its current ownership since 1982. Located in the bottom corner of an old Victorian building, the casual atmosphere makes it the perfect place to dig into a big hearty bowl of Irish stew while sipping away on a smooth pour of Guinness. It also has a beautiful patio for those summertime get-togethers with good friends. (Expect to make some new ones while you're out there.)
O'Gara's Irish Pub
Merriam Park
This St. Paul institution is definitely a powerhouse pub around these parts, offering live music, 35 tap beers, and a robust history. It'll be celebrating its 75th St. Paddy's Day this year, and is doing so with an entire week full of different specials. While it's decidedly less of an Irish pub than it used to be, the culture lives on in the form of the leprechaun cobblers mural, painted inside the bar by founder Jim O'Gara. Also, the shillelagh (an old Irish weapon) hanging over the bar comes straight from County Sligo, home of the first O'Gara clan. Oh, and it still sells whiskey.
Keegan's Irish Pub
Keegan's is a solid place in town, offering a great collection of craft beers, a variety of weekly specials & activities, and a load of edible Irish classics. The bar has been consistently rewarded by the people at Guinness for the way the bartenders pour pints. According to the website, "All our Guinness comes from the St. James Gate brewery in Dublin, Ireland, and we pour it at the right temperature with right nitrogen to CO2 mixture." So if you're looking for a good pint-o'-Guinness this coming St. Paddy's Day, it looks like you've found the place.
O'Donovan's Irish Pub
This is the kind of bar you come to and, after drinking for some time, start hazily clamoring on about how authentic it looks. "It's almost like I'm in Ireland!" you'll (try to) say. Well, that's because it was the first Irish pub in Minneapolis that was built entirely in Ireland. Come by most nights of the week and you'll find live music, along with a healthy selection of tap beers. And if you're like most, you'll probably (definitely) want to explore the Irish whiskey selection as well... because why not?
Dan Kelly's Irish Pub
This downtown Irish pub is brought to you by the same folks behind the Seven Corners craft beer temple, Republic, so you know it has a great selection of different local brews and various taps. It focuses on contemporary pub-style cuisine, with a firm grasp on traditional Irish flavors, and has over 40 different varieties of whiskey. So what we're saying is: make sure you show up good and thirsty.

About Book
Book Description
Special operations in this context, commando or guerilla activities conducted by the U.S. Army in World War II have been the subject of a good many thrilling adventure stories but little sober, historical analysis. Only a handful of works have examined the critical issues underlying special operations, and the Armys historical series on World War II treats the subject only in passing. Yet special operations had a significant role that should not be ignored. Ranger units captured positions critical to the success of amphibious landings in the Mediterranean, France, and the Philippines. Partisans advised by American military personnel provided essential intelligence to American forces and harassed enemy troops in support of American operations in Italy, France, the Philippines, and Burma.
As special operations forces grow in importance within the U.S. Army, we need to look at our experience with such activities in World War II. I recommend this study as an overview for Army leaders and other interested parties of an important, but often misunderstood subject. It fills a gap in the Armys history of World War II and honors individuals whose efforts, frequently unsung, nevertheless made a major contribution to the American and Allied victory in that war.
Harold W. Nelson Brigadier General, United States Army Chief of Military History

To say the entire Golden State Warriors roster and fanbase has been desperately longing for this moment since the start of the regular season would be disingenuous, though losses in two of their first three games certainly hinted at the team's frame of mind. That said, talk of "flipping the switch" for the playoffs heated up around the All-Star break, and has been more compelling than much of the basketball the Dubs have played since.
Unfortunately, the arrival of the playoffs has not brought the sigh of relief or buzz of anticipation we expected. Somehow, a team that was not just a title favorite but the presumptive champion at the start of the season has struggled and stumbled and injured itself into a storm of questions.
The entirety of that whirlwind, varied as the moods and modes of presentation may be, comes down to a couple of easily asked but tough-to-answer queries: What the heck just happened, and what now?
What the heck just happened?
If we envision "the switch" as having a dimmer function, it hasn't really been flipped to the full "on" position all year, and it's been set to heavy mood lighting since Steph Curry's ankle injury ended a seven-game win streak.
It's important to note what actually went down: The Warriors didn't even limp across the finish line; they caught a ride with the post-race cleanup crew. When Steph went down (effectively for the remainder of the year, less 25 minutes against the Atlanta Hawks), the Dubs were 51-14, which makes them 7-10 down the stretch. Yes, the Warriors have played under .500 for more than a month.
And it's worse than that, because it's near impossible to argue those seven wins were the games where they "came to play" or "brought the intensity." Four of the seven were against literal last-place teams in Phoenix and Atlanta; two more against losers in the Lakers and Kings (who they also lost to, at home, during this stretch). The one win with any juice was over the Thunder, but that lost luster when it was followed by back-to-back defensive failures against the Pacers and Pelicans.
I say all this to emphasize that this team has been bad for awhile now. Not just a little off, but flat-out bad.
Of course, there are reasons for this. The obvious humdinger is Curry's injury (and the mess of other smaller maladies), but not far behind is the fact that not a one of those 17 games meant anything tangible to this team. They've been locked into the No. 2 spot all along. If you thought coaching this team was hard in February, try motivating millionaires with literally nothing to play for.
Steve Kerr & Co. tried every tool in the motivational trick bag over the course of this season. Some worked for a time, and others provided delightful fodder for all of us, but nothing really seemed to stick. The Dubs are down statistically across the board since March 9, with both their offensive and defensive rating below average. But what really stands out is a rebounding percentage of 48.3 (26th in the league), down from 51.5 (4th in the league) over the first 61 games.
As Jerry Sloan put it, "Rebounding is where you get a chance to compete for possession of the basketball."
You can make complaints about professionalism and what's fair to ticket-holders, and you may have valid points, but human nature is a powerful thing. I'm not here to make a value judgment — even if I was, I'm loathe to use words like "try" or "care" because I don't doubt the character of any of these guys — it is simply a fact of life that human beings respond to incentives.
No matter how much they gassed themselves up, the Warriors walked onto the floor every night with the knowledge somewhere inside that the result was irrelevant. Completely irrelevant over the last month or two, yes, but also largely irrelevant all year long.
They knew they could more or less roll out the ball, recreate for a couple hours every night and, at the end of the 82, they'd be in playoff position. I say "knew" because they believed it — and they were right. I'm not saying players deliberately dogged it or were less than professional, but in their heart of hearts, Steph and KD and Draymond and Klay and everyone on the roster knew the regular season was nothing more than a training exercise.
The results bear it out: Even with a rash of injuries worse than any other year in this recent run, even with the best competition they've seen in the Western Conference, even without ever really hitting their stride or finding a consistent groove as a team, the Golden State Warriors won 58 games and home court advantage for at least two rounds of the playoffs.
They underperformed by their own standards, and ours, but what does that really amount to? Nothing, if they end up where they want.
What now?!
Thankfully, this is an easier question to answer: Now, we find out.
We find out if "flipping the switch" is really a thing. We find out if we've been seeing a team in trouble or a hibernating grizzly bear.
I, for one, still believe the Warriors are ticketed for title-town. Either way, this postseason will be a referendum of sorts on whether the regular season means anything to a potentially dominant team. With as much as we've talked about things like motivation and focus and intensity throughout the year, it is bound to be the center of the story.
Barring additional injury or a Steph setback, the Warriors will have the better roster and likely be the favorite in every series they play. They have the same "problems" they had last year, when they went 16-1 in the postseason: They lack a dominant big man, and they turn the ball over too much, sometimes.
When they are right, the Warriors overcome these issues with relative ease. That's why this regular season has been so confounding. It's impossible to tell if the inability to transcend their deficiencies is a matter of motivation and timing or a sign of real decline and danger.
If they don't win the title — especially if they lose before even getting to the allegedly dangerous Houston Rockets — it will be hard not to see it as evidence that the regular season is more important than we thought. Perhaps, even as proof that turning it on just for the playoffs is too much to ask for any team, no matter how talented.
If they repeat as champions, it validates the "flip the switch" theory, and it makes next year an even more fascinating study in human behavior.
The playoffs are here, and it means everything.

There was once a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money, and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So, he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him.
An angel hears his plea and appears to him, "Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you."
The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules.
The man continued to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.
Soon afterward, the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter. Seeing the suitcase, Peter says, "Hold on, you can't bring that in here!"
But the man explains to him that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with the Lord. Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back saying, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through."
Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, "You brought pavement?"
As the story goes to show, our greatest treasure on earth is of like rags on the other side. Anyway, we can't bring any possessions or wealth into Heaven. The Scriptures say this clearly in Job.
Job 1:21
[Job] said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD."
Can our attitude be like Job? He lost everything – wealth, health, family and friends but he praised God with every fiber of his being. He believed that everything he had was given graciously by God and not belonging to him. Have you heard the phrase, 'Easy come, easy go?' Many people live life with a different phrase: 'Easy come, hard to go.' Do you cling on to your personal possessions (money, car, house, Playstation games, toys, wine collections, smart phone) tightly or loosely?
A deeper question would be: Are you investing your life in things that ultimately don't matter?
Jesus said that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. If you treasure your BMW car, you will spend time taking care of it. If you are not careful, it can distract you from attaining true treasure in Heaven .
Other than our redeemed souls, there's another treasure that will be brought into Heaven. I believe it is the souls of men and women that we have impacted and saved. How beautiful it would be when you reach Heaven and a stranger gives you a warm hug, thanking you how you impacted her life. Puzzled, you find out that the youth you mentored years ago went on to impact many more lives in another part of the world.
Human lives. Now, that's something worth investing in for eternity.

The REFLEX-ISS tool: Taking better account of social inequalities in health
The REFLEX-ISS tool was developed to support teams to engage in collective reflection about how to better address health equity in their project, with the aim of improving health equity or at least not increasing health inequities. The main goal of the tool is to promote ongoing discussion around social inequalities in health rather than to measure impact or effectiveness of an intervention. It complements other tools that you are likely to use to ensure the quality of your project. Important strategies within the tool include participation, action on social determinants of health, collaboration, intersectoral action and empowerment.
The tool is designed for public health actors involved in the planning, implementation and evaluation on of public health projects to be used in collaboration with partners in health and other sectors (e.g., ministries, school boards, municipalities, schools, community organizations).
Presented in five parts, all sections can be used independently at any stage in a project. The sections are:
- Conducting joint planning,
- Adjusting an existing plan or intervention,
- Implementing a plan or intervention,
- Evaluating a plan or intervention and/or
- Planning for sustainability.
Each section has a set of questions with five responses that represent a level of progress as well as a space for written text.
There are two accompanying case studies demonstrating the application of the tool:
- The use of the REFLEX-ISS Tool for the implementation of sentinel networks http://www.equitesante.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Reflex-iss_CAT_VF_En.pdf
- The use of the REFLEX-ISS Tool by the Quit Smoking Centre (Centre d'abandon du tabagisme – CAT) http://www.equitesante.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Reflex-iss_CAT_VF_En.pdf
Use this resource to:
- Analyze how your project can be designed to improve health equity
- Identify and analyze strengths and areas for improvement
- Engage in health equity dialogue with colleagues and partners

How to Set a Static Internal Private IP (DIP) for Azure VM in ARM
With the recent introduction of new Azure PowerShell modules generation, starting with version 1.0.0, Azure Product Group greatly accelerated bringing new features and innovation out the door, but also introduced several breaking changes in the API, with the transition from ASM (Azure Service Management) to ARM (Azure Resource Manager), and in PowerShell itself since cmdlets are now renamed and differentiated with the addition of "*Rm*" qualifier. Additionally, the semantic of some features are totally different and require a totally different
approach, cmdlets and then syntax. If you have not done already, I encourage you to read the blog post below related to PowerShell 1.0.0 release:
Azure PowerShell 1.0
I'm writing this pretty short blog post to fill a gap in the actual Azure documentation, related to Azure Virtual Machines (VM) IP addressing, and to clarify some content that is outdated, then no more useful. Specifically, I want to clarify a changed behavior in PowerShell and APIs to manage/set static internal private IP, or if you prefer, call it static DIP. In the past, using ASM, we used "Set-AzureStaticVNetIP" to mark a DIP as static:
New-AzureService -ServiceName TestService -Location "Central US"
$image = Get-AzureVMImage|?{$_.ImageName -like "*RightImage-Windows-2012R2-x64*"}
New-AzureVMConfig -Name TestVM -InstanceSize Small -ImageName $image.ImageName `
| Add-AzureProvisioningConfig -Windows -AdminUsername adminuser -Password MyP@ssw0rd!! `
| Set-AzureSubnet –SubnetNames Subnet-1 `
| Set-AzureStaticVNetIP -IPAddress 10.0.0.7 `
| New-AzureVM -ServiceName "TestService" –VNetName TestVnet
Normally, a DIP is DHCP assigned with infinite lease, but there are some cases where it may change (stopped VM with deallocation) and you don't want absolutely, think about an Active Directory Domain Controller for example. That's why you may want to "mark" a DIP as static. Now, in ARM with latest PowerShell Azure modules (>= v.1.0.0), this cmdlet does not exist anymore, neither the correlated one used in the past to test DIP allocation:
Test-AzureStaticVNetIP –VNetName TestVNet –IPAddress 10.0.0.7
Then, the article below does not apply to ARM and PowerShell Azure modules higher than v.1.0.0:
How to Set a Static Internal Private IP
Now, the supported and only possible way to mark a DIP as "static", is using the parameter "PrivateIpAddress" when creating a new Network Interface as in the example below:
New-AzureRmNetworkInterface -Name InterfaceName -ResourceGroupName $gname -Location $PrimaryLocation -Subnet $vnet1.Subnets[1] -PublicIpAddress $dcvip `
-PrivateIpAddress "10.1.1.4" -InternalDnsNameLabel $dnssuffix -DnsServer "10.1.1.5", "10.1.1.4"
When you specify an explicit IP value as in the example above, Azure will consider that address as static and will never change, you can double-check yourself using the code below ("Static" should be returned):
$nic=Get-AzureRmNetworkInterface -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $InterfaceName
$nic.IpConfigurations[0]. - PrivateIpAllocationMethod
Be aware that if you will specify an already used DIP, execution will return an error; additionally, there is no "test" cmdlet to check availability of a DIP inside a VNET/Subnet.
Best regards everyone, enjoy!

Daddy CareSubmitted by PAUL C on December 05 2012 10:12 AM
According a study released by the Australian Bureau of Health and Welfare, more kids are hurt in accidents when Dad is looking after them. I don't think it's because Dads are irresponsible, it's more likely kids are doing activities like motor bike riding or tree climbing when Dad is around.
I know this is certainly true in my household. I don't wrap my boys in cotton wool, but I know that I am definitely conservative when it comes to risk taking.
So while I certainly don't want them hurt, I love the fact that they do rough-and-tumble things when Dad is around. When they say 'higher' on a swing, he'll push them till almost vertical, and he will encourage them to climb to the highest branch possible on a tree.
Many times I find myself having to look away or to bite my tongue. My hubby thinks I can be a little critical when it comes to his judgement. He also believes playing it too safe can lead to kids doubting their own abilities and lacking self confidence.
So what do you think Mums and Dads out there? Is it the same in your household?0 comments

Speaker: Harlan Weaver, Assistant Professor of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies, Kansas State University
Date: Thursday, October 6, 2016
Time: 5 PM
Place: 346 Leon Johnson Hall
Title: It's Me and The Dog: Imagining Multi Species Justice
Summary: "Why should we care about animals when humans continue to be oppressed?" This question denotes both a sentiment common to popular discussions in the wake of ongoing injustices in human worlds. In a world where homophobia and transphobia run rampant, where movements such as Black Lives Matter have transformed our social and political landscape, where rape and migration crises entwine, there seems little room left to care for non-humans. Why should we care about animals then? Countering the ways that this question and others like it position the concerns of marginalized humans as counter to those of animals, this talk articulates a way of thinking and understanding human and animal needs together, demonstrating a form of what can be called multi species justice. The aim is to demonstrating a way of understanding how "it's me or the dog!" can and should become "it's me and the dog!"

sinn fein
Is John Finucane a SF/IRA dupe?
It' s hard to imagine [almost] the horror that John Finucane witnessed, although he was not by any means an isolated case.
I knew, worked with and liked his father, who was a contemporary.
Since then, John has qualified and practised as a solicitor, seemingly uninterested in politics, till now.
It would be difficult for an impartial observer to conclude otherwise than he is anti-British.
He and I have a common interest . As his mother put it, who sent the gunmen? I want to know who sent the bomb team that murdered my parents. Our common suspicion is that the State was involved.
Here, the stories diverge.
The other night, John shared a platform with two IRA volunteers, Kelly and Na Chullin. Worse, he was photographed beside Sean Maguire, who was part of the operation that killed my parents. Maguire was a prominent member of PIRA in 1990 and also an informer for the State. He was with Scap when they visited the house where Sandy Lynch was held. Maguire may be managing his publicity, I don't know. Maguire, who 'qualified' as a journalist after his release from prison, benefitted from the general amnesty for touts, agreed some years ago by the Army Council and now lives in the Oldpark area of Belfast.
What sort of world is John currently inhabiting? Does he really believe his own publicity about equality and justice for all? Why does he share a platform with terrorists ? Was not his candidature agreed by the Army Council?
Is it the same old Finucane deal, Uncles John , Dermot and Seamus?
The fascinating thing that the Finucanes have in common with the Adams Family is that one outstanding family member , Pat Finucane and Gerry Adams never joined the IRA.
I wonder what the moderate Roman Catholics of North Belfast think?
And for whom will they vote?
And why is John Finucane, Human Rights lawyer, sharing a platform with terrorists?
Moussa Koussa and Andrew MacKinlay
You may remember, Dear Reader, the somewhat sensational evidence given by Andrew MacKinlay, retired MP, to the NI Affairs Committee, on 14th October 2015.
Here is an example of what he said, in giving evidence about MK:
Kate Hoey: Do you think it was anything to do with a fear that , if he talked too much–all the contacts with people in Sinn Fein, IRA , for example –it might bring down the peace process?
Andrew MacKinlay: He would have known about the Semtex and the supplying of arms to the IRA over many years—and probably authorised it.
He went on to state that MK was a key member of Gadafy's regime and he just could not understand why he was never questioned by British police.
I asked the PSNI about, inter alia, the alleged supply of Semtex and the allegation that , in effect MK conspired with Sinn Fein/IRA to murder.
The PSNI made contact with MacKinlay and here is what they told me:
"Mr MacKinlay has confirmed that he has no further information to add to his evidence to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee on 14 October 2015. Mr MacKinlay has also confirmed that he is not in possession of any evidence to suggest that Moussa Moussa committed a criminal offence"
Contrast this with the statement by our hero "this was a bad fellow, but I do not believe that the normal law enforcement agencies were given access to him"
One wonders how much other guff has been presented to the NIAC as "evidence".
The EU calls the shots on terrorism
While the debate about Brexit rages, readers should be mindful of this.
The EU recently enacted fresh legislation, freezing Libyan funds. Despite a campaign which stretches back several years, neither of the 'Unionist' representatives in the EU, Diane Dodds or Jim Nicholson, seem to have been aware of it nor did any Unionist or member of the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. No representations were made to permit the unfreezing of funds for victims. I have tried to contact Nicholson in the past, but since I don't farm, I'm of no interest to him.
It is an example of the EU enacting legislation which the "Mother of Parliaments" slavishly copies, although it is not obliged to.
It is possible for a member of parliament to object to the new delegated legislation and you might think that, given the public outrage about terrorists being compensated by HMG , our "unionist" politicians would be alert to this legislation.
Sadly not. Big business, farming, the International Airport , Gallaghers etc., are more important , it would seem, than human rights.
I'm sure no victim of Sinn Fein/IRA violence was the beneficiary of corporate hospitality during the Rugby World Cup.
From my perspective, not much has changed since the 1950s. Big House, Big Business and Farming Unionists plough on. The man in the street, be he RUC, UDR or British Army counts for nothing. The Unionist parties play the orange card and the stupid masses vote for them.
The words that the DUP and the UU spout are flim flam.
Even worse, Diane Dodds makes a speech in the European Parliament, parroting the British Government line, completely missing the real issue and then publishes it , as if she is proud of her input
Meanwhile Jim Allister , that champion of the loyalists shows no interest.
We are alone in this fight , without any political support.
Oh and by the way, don't count on Willy Frazer , he has 'served writs' on more republicans than you could shake a stick at. He also was going to sort out the disclosure from the ROI re Kingsmills. That didn't happen either. One wonders where he gets his funding from and what happened to the march in Dublin.
The moral of this blog is that the experts are correct. I am not going to shoot someone or plant a bomb. I don't count. When Sinn Fein/IRA make noises HMG listens. If the state was complicit in keeping sinn fein/ira crimes away from Alan McQuillan, what else have they done and are they currently doing?
There is no chance of any justice for anyone while this Satanic Alliance continues.
Nine point four billion pounds
This is the value of frozen assets held in the UK and related to Gadafy, his family, his government officials and various Libyan institutions.
It does not reflect the additional amount of money Gadafy gave Sinn Fein/IRA or the value of the arms, ammunition and Semtex he gave them.
Hundreds of people were killed as a result of this terrorism. No-one in Libya and none of the SF/IRA leaders ,such as Martin McGuinness have been prosecuted for this.
Not one of the UK victims has been compensated , while citizens of USA, France and Germany have been paid long ago.
The lesson that Britain sends is that terrorism pays. In fact Blair kissed Gadafy in a tent and the FCO forgave Libya.
Relatives of the Tunisian atrocity should take note. Your government will not help you and that's official.
Wheels within wheels
Liam Clarke, in his article in the Belfast Telegraph on 18 June says: "the Castlereagh raid allowed the IRA to identify the entire agent network in Belfast through a process of elimination."
It is interesting that this observation, relating to events which occurred in 2002, passed without apparent comment in the media.
Was the "raid" in fact a hostile act by a devilishly cunning SF/IRA unit or was it staged? Was the insider in fact Larry the Chef, a state agent, and was the object of the state to further destabilise SF/IRA?
Larry was never prosecuted, a decision made jointly by the police, who took him out of the jurisdiction and the PPS.
Guess who was asked to investigate? A man call Chilcott.
Could Barney Rowan help?
Imagine the scene at the army council when the product of the raid was tabled. "Gerry, I never knew….you too Marty….gosh and you , and you". It is unlikely that anyone on the army council failed to make the grade.
So why the silence both from the media and from SF/IRA?
It's the Peace Process Stupid!
The murderers of my parents
On this day, twenty five years ago, my Dad drove his car out of the driveway and parked it on the road. He had been retired from the RUC for three years, having been mortared at New Barnsley, where his colleague Dessie Dobbin, was killed. It is likely , given the forensic findings, that he checked underneath it before he moved it from the drive. At about ten o'clock, he and my mother drove off. About four hundred yards down the road a bomb, placed underneath the vehicle exploded. My Dad was dead on arrival at the Mater Hospital. My Mum , having sustained severe head injuries , died the next day.
PIRA claimed responsibility and Adams said it might not have been a good operation. But then , he was never in the IRA.
The cause of Irish unity was not progressed one inch but my daughter never knew her Grandparents.
The persons responsible for these murders were as follows.
First there had to be an active service unit, carrying out these brave acts. There were three operational in the greater Belfast area in 1990.
Bomb Team A, as I shall call it , was comprised, inter alia, of Rosaleen McCorley MLA and James Donnelly. They were arrested in January 1990 in the act of placing a bomb under a policeman's car.
Bomb Team B had in its ranks Rosena Brown and Davy Adams [brother of Gerry]. It might have had Martin McGartland also , but he has denied this to me. Brown, Paul McCullough and Stephen Canning were arrested in 1992 in possession of a bomb.
Bomb Team C was comprised of Martin McGartland, Fitzsimmons and McFadden. They carried out a number of operations before McFadden and Fitzsimmons were arrested in North Belfast in December 1990, in possession of two bombs and a gun. Interestingly, McGartland was not at the scene.
Therefore in June 1990 , either bomb team B or C could have carried out the attack.
Councillor Sean Keenan took part in the attack. He was rewarded for his efforts on 7 June when a UDA/UFF team tried to kill him. He had already been shot in the company of Gerry Adams. Keenan's house was heavily fortified. I wonder why? Did the state pay for it?
The attack was scouted by Sean Maguire , from Ardoyne. He was an "intelligence officer" and a state agent , a tout. He betrayed Larry Marley to the Loyalists, in order to please his British masters. He is now PR adviser to Martin McGuinness and can be spotted, if you are quick enough , in the background,behind Grandpa McGuinness on the Hill. I wonder where Sean banked his money?
The operations officer, responsible for coordinating attacks, was Paddy Fern. The bomb was provided by McCartney, who was Quartermaster.
The police have told me that they know the identities of the bomb makers. Bombs were kept in the "Rock Streets" off the Falls.
Next in the chain of command was Spike Murray.
The OC Belfast was Brian Gillen an agent of the Crown.
The operation had to be approved by Martin McGuinness, head of northern command. Read Ed Moloney's book about this [p347] and also the allegations made by Scappaticci, in conversations with journalists.
Both the RUC Special Branch [SB] and the Army's Force Research Unit [FRU] were involved in the recruiting and handling of agents. Some agents were placed in organisations, others were recruited from their ranks.
The purpose of an agent was to report on the activities of the terrorist group so as to enable the state to disrupt its activities and arrest its members.
There were no rules governing the use of these agents in 1990, particularly in relation to the criminal actives in which they might participate. Issues arose as to what would happen if an agent told his handlers that he was about to take part in a crime or if he declared that he had in fact committed an offence.
De Silva documents the attempts made by the RUC and the Army to obtain guidance from the state. He also documents how the state consistently failed to give such guidance and deliberately dragged its heels on the issue.
Without any structure both SB and FRU worked in a vacuum. They had agents placed in the heart of Sinn Fein/IRA, many are still there. Apart from Donaldson and 'Scap' obviously. I'm not convinced that Scap is Stake Knife. What about Padraic Wilson, does he fit the profile?
SB and FRU played God. De Silva documents how at one time the Loyalists planned to kill Oliver Kelly, solicitor. This seemed like a good plan until the state placed a higher value on him, because he was a moderating influence on hunger strikers, whereupon FRU told the Loyalists to back off. The same happened to a plan to kill Adams in 1987. Why was Adams so valuable then? Finucane was apparently disposable.
In assessing a planned terrorist attack SB/FRU considered two issues:
1. The value of the target to the state, or not.
2. Any potential danger to their "asset' the agent.
Consider my list of agents, above. They must have provided SB/FRU with a wealth of information. Not every operation could be stopped because the agent's colleagues and masters would become suspicious. There are only so many times that extra police can flood an area or an Army checkpoint appears.
So every so often a attack has to get through, even though SB/FRU have been warned. Or perhaps the agent 'forgot' to tell his handlers.
So, on the morning of 6th June 1990, nobody came to the rescue of James and Ellen Sefton.
After my Dad had checked his car and left it outside the house, PIRA planted a bomb underneath it. I know this because the ATO opined that the car travelled as far as it did because the timer, set for an hour, had not wound down before the start of the journey.
Ultimately, the state is responsible for their deaths.
My parents had a right to life and an expectation that the state would protect them. Instead the state protected the agent and the process. Read the documents in de Silva relating to the prosecution of Nelson to get a feel for how far the state would go to protect the process.
Although the RUC and FRU were not assisted by the state in how to run informers,that is no excuse. The RUC was staffed by ordinary men and women from this Province, some of whom would have known my Dad. Shame on them for being part of an organisation which practised this witchcraft.
Perhaps even now, twenty five years on, one of them might have the decency to come clean, before they have a chat with their Maker.
I am , of course, leaving aside the prospect of a Republican having a conscience.
I am not alone in having suffered this injustice. I am not , by a long way, the worst example.
I hope, though, that others, similarly afflicted may be given some encouragement to enquire into their own tragedies.

It's probably happened to all of us.
An eager vendor wants to show off the photos from your fabulous wedding last month, and before you can even share the gallery, they've screen-shotted from your blog or from your Facebook page, and it looks terrible. Plus, you were always willing to share full resolution photos anyway, but you haven't even delivered the gallery to the client. What's a photographer to do?
If this is the first instance of image use without permission, you may wish to step lightly and give the benefit of the doubt, while teaching them how it works. While "I didn't know!" isn't a valid excuse in a court of law, the simple truth is that most people are unaware of the nuances of usage and copyright laws, and they may think that taking your image from your blog is within reason. Use this opportunity to gently and firmly educate them for the benefit of your future relationship and for their relationship with other photographers.
Here's an email template that might be a good start on educating them, asking them to take it down, and assuring them they will be able to choose the photos that they need for their marketing materials from the actual gallery when you deliver it to them.
Hi VENDOR,
I noticed that you've used a screenshot from my blog on your Facebook page.
So that we can be sure our best work is online and properly credited, please remove the image from your Facebook page and anywhere else you may have used it online. I will be glad to share a collection of optimized, downloadable images with you from our client's gallery after our client has received them on DATE.
I'm sure you're wondering why, since I am always happy to share images! Here's the answer: not only is the screenshot of the image poor quality, which compromises both of our reputations for doing excellent work, but I have not yet released the images for vendors to use and share except via my blog post. In additionI know you may not be aware of thisit's a violation of copyright to use the image without my permission.
In the meantime, if you are anxious to share our work online, you are more than welcome to repost my original blog post (LINK HERE), which fully credits your work as well as mine and all of the other wedding creatives we worked with on NAME and NAME's wedding.
Thank you!
Was this a helpful scenario for you? You'll find this one and more than 74 other helpful scenarios and email templates in our Wedding Photographer's Inbox Solution, available in the store at Pencil & Lens! The Inbox Solution includes a series of messages to vendors, beginning before the wedding, so they know exactly what they will receive from you, when and how they should credit you.

Just perfect ! Thank you for sharing.
