Kingdom Come: Deliverance "update 1.2.5 hotfix" V2 / New ""
Description and instructions:
Corrected version of the patch 1.2.5 (from 21.2.2018)
Yesterday, we are introduced HOTFIX patch 1.2.5 but it was meant for the future patch, but it requires additional data to work properly. This error is prevented by the quest, "Ginger in a Pickle" to start or to keep executing its internal logic properly. Today, around 10 am GMT, we reverted the game back to previous version 1.2.2, which in itself should be fixed this problem. Later today around 6 pm GMT, we reintroduced a correct version of HOTFIX 1.2.5. Please make sure your game version is the latest one. We are deeply sorry to hear this happen and we're not now again.
It is theoretically possible that the quest, "Ginger in a Pickle" will fail to this mistake, but only if you already had it. current version.
Fortunately, we have very much to recreate the problem! Several people were trying to break up the quest for the entirety of today and did not succeed. However, the opportunity is still there. As this happens to you, if the quest fails, ASAP. We are now working on a preventive measure. It will be ready for another hotfix.

We've all heard about Toxic Shock Syndrome, but for the most part, it feels like a pretty distant threat. Or it did, anyways, until model Lauren Wasser started telling her story about TSS, and how it took her leg and almost her life.
Back in 2012 when she was 25, Lauren got TSS one night after changing her tampon pretty regularly throughout the day. She said she went to bed that night feeling a little unwell, but was rushed to the hospital that night with a 107-degree fever and not that far from death.
Oh God, oh God. Okay. Deep breath -- there's more.
At the hospital, doctors found gangrene and other health complications, which caused really severe damage to her left foot and enough complications in her right leg that they ended up amputating below the knee. Because of a tampon.
Lauren is suing Kotex now because she said she complied with their recommendations and still ended up with a life-long disability. But tampon companies are pretty careful to cover their bases with all the legally-required information that goes in the packaging, so it's a bit of a toss up on who will win the lawsuit.
More from The Stir: Talking About Tampons With Your Daughter: What You Need to Know (VIDEO)
When you use tampons regularly, you get so used to them that it's easy to forget how dangerous they really are. Here's some stuff to remember (we've got both good news and bad news):
- Fewer than 50 percent of TSS cases are related to tampon use -- you (and children and men) can also get it from recent childbirth, recent surgery, or any kind of wound infection.
- That said, 50 percent of TSS cases are fatal.
- Symptoms include confusion, diarrhea, general ill-feeling, headaches, high fever (sometimes with chills), low blood pressure, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting, organ failure, redness of eyes and mouth, seizures, and sometimes a widespread red rash that looks like a sunburn (usually on the palms or feet). Got all that?
- Usually these symptoms will start two or three days before things get really serious, but if you think you've got it, take out your tampon immediately and go see a doctor (TSS is classified as a medical emergency).
- It's actually more common in younger women -- girls aged 15 to 19 are at the highest risk for TSS, and once you pass 30 your risk drops even more.
- To reduce your risk of getting TSS, change your tampon every 4 to 8 hours.
- Also, high-absorbency tampons can be more dangerous than low-absorbency ones, so your best prevention (aside from not using tampons at all) is to use the lowest absorbency or size that meets your needs.
Lauren was a model and and athlete, so she was totally healthy when this happened -- it's terrifying how quickly it happens and how dangerous it is. Know your facts! And to any scientists out there, please invent a cheap and safe alternative to tampons already! Thanks!
Do you know anyone who's had TSS?

I was going through the photos in my phone and thought I would belatedly share some pics from our visit to the Comic Con in Bar Harbor back in March.
We tend to look for something to do out of the house as a family on the weekends. If we stay home, we end up just doing housework and staring at the tube.
It was a cool event. I got to meet Barry Longyear who wrote "Enemy Mine," which is a favorite book and movie for me. We left with a signed copy of his complete series.
We ran into some people we know there as well. I think we should bring a Comic Con to the Rockland area. Would there be interest from the local community in that?

A girl's success story shows how 3-D printing and other technology are transforming dentistry for the iGeneration.
Arionna McKnight, at age 15, already knows she wants to be a CIA agent. Her dream is to travel the world on undercover missions, work with the president and keep the nation safe. But before she's old enough to achieve these lofty aspirations, she needs to be just be a normal kid, attending football games, school dances and college. And dating.
So, imagine being a ninth grader with a tumor growing out of your jaw. It's growing so aggressively that it's changing the shape of your face and making it difficult to eat, talk or have fun with your friends. Let's face it, in today's era of endless selfies, Instagram and Snapchat, putting your best face forward seems more important than ever.
That's what Arionna was dealing with. Diagnosed with an ameloblastoma, she would require an arduous surgical procedure that could leave her without teeth for six to 12 months, undergoing surgery after surgery.
Thankfully, MUSC had something significantly better in store for her.
Baber Khatib, M.D., D.D.S., an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, examined Arionna and determined she was a candidate for a cutting-edge procedure called "Jaw in a Day" that just weeks before, he had introduced in South Carolina. This surgery is the most comprehensive restoration of the jaw and teeth ever been performed in the state, and Khatib is the only surgeon in S.C. trained in head and neck surgery, microvascular reconstructive surgery and dentistry, making him uniquely qualified to plan and execute such a technically challenging operation. In fact, the closest program that has performed the mandibular surgery is the University of Alabama, and only a handful of other centers throughout the United States are even able to offer it.
Khatib explained that for patients, the ability to chew, communicate and maintain social interactions is so critically related to a person's teeth that even missing a front tooth can be a source of great angst. These types of visual changes are a constant and painful reminder of how the person looks to others and can lead to self-esteem and confidence issues.
"Now imagine having been diagnosed with an aggressive tumor of your jaw that necessitates resection of your jaw and most of your teeth," he said. "One quickly asks, 'How will I chew? What will I look like? Will I be disfigured?'"
These were questions Arionna and her family naturally had, and Khatib was able to allay their fears. She would undergo a removal of her jaw thorough a process called a radical mandibulectomy that entails using part of the patient's fibula — or calf bone — to replace the affected jaw. But instead of multiple reconstructive procedures that typically could take a year and a half to complete, Arionna would have her confidence and beautiful smile back in one day.
Using the latest innovations and technologies and meticulous computer surgical planning, Khatib outlines how he'll remove the tumor, while allowing for the most aesthetically pleasing reconstruction, shaping the fibula specifically to her face and bite. The digital plan is then custom 3D printed into cutting guides, plates, hardware and finally a prosthesis that replaces the missing teeth and gums.
At this point, radical mandibulectomy patients are taken to the operating room. That's where Marty Steed, D.D.S., chairman of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, or Michael Lecholop, D.M.D., Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Program director, removes the jaw tumor, tissue and teeth, using the custom mandible cutting guides.
At the same time, Khatib dissects out part of the fibula and shapes it into a jawbone. He places dental implants into the leg bone while the bone is still inside the leg, receiving blood. Custom prosthetic teeth are then placed by Khatib on the implants after prosthodontist Mark Ludlow, D.M.D., adjusts and polishes them. The entire construct is taken up to the face, vessels are sutured under the microscope, and at the end of the case, the patient wakes up looking very similar to how they looked before the tumor started growing.
While the surgery can take up to 12 hours, a potential 18-month wait is decreased to one day in the all-in-one procedure.
Khatib describes the surgery as revolutionary. "By immediately implanting the dental prosthesis, the need for multiple surgeries is eliminated. It allows for complete dental reconstruction months before traditional treatment options."
Dean of the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine, Sarandeep Huja, D.D.S., Ph.D., is focused on continuing to increase innovation and technological advances in dental education and patient care. He is delighted to have recruited Khatib, adding a highly specialized surgeon to the faculty and enabling the college to offer this groundbreaking surgical technique to patients throughout the state and region.
"Dr. Khatib's 'Jaw in a Day' surgery is a substantial addition to the innovation that occurs at our college. We are proud to be one of the few centers in the country to offer this procedure. The skill set and knowledge Dr. Khatib has brought to the University will help us continue to pave the way in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery."
Khatib operated on Arionna on March 1, and the Charleston freshman is doing well — progressing, he said, right on schedule. It was his second such surgery at MUSC. The first was Feb. 22 on a 17-year-old patient. Both are eating food, although Arionna is still on soft food, and she is already walking.
Arionna has the distinction of being the youngest patient ever to have had this procedure on her mandible. Hers was a significantly larger resection than the first MUSC Health patient since it involved two sections of her jaw. In fact, Khatib built Arionna an entirely new chin in a specialized procedure called double barreling.
Prior to coming to MUSC last August, Khatib had performed five such procedures at the Head and Neck Institute and Providence Cancer Center in Portland, Oregon, where he completed fellowships in craniomaxillofacial trauma and reconstructive surgery and also head and neck oncologic and microvascular reconstructive surgery, working with the pioneers in the field.
The tumor Arionna had typically occurs between the ages of 10 and 30, and when caught by dentists and oral surgeons can be treated successfully. Tumors of the mandible are usually benign but can be cancerous. Ameloblastomas are extremely aggressive and locally destructive, and even though they are usually not malignant, they have a high recurrence rate if not caught early and managed appropriately, Khatib said.
In addition to patients suffering with ameloblastomas, like the first two MUSC patients, or other tumors of the jaw, the Jaw in a Day procedure is also beneficial for patients of all ages who have suffered trauma, gunshot wounds to the face, medicine-related deterioration or who previously had jaw reconstruction or other benign pathologies.
Advances in microvascular reconstructive surgery have revolutionized surgeons' ability to correct certain defects of the jaw. The traditional approach to jaw reconstruction delayed dental implant placement by at least six months after the bone was placed. Then patients would still need to go back to the operating room for a debulking surgery, implant uncovering, possible gum lowering surgery and, finally, impressions before fabrication of a prosthesis for the replacement of teeth — a process that could take up to 1.5 years before a patient could have teeth.
Trained in both medicine and dentistry prior to his fellowships, Khatib is among a select few surgeons who possess the unique skill sets and knowledge that allow for such an intricate procedure, because the procedure involves a combined knowledge of head and neck microvascular surgery, dentistry and medicine. Now that MUSC specialists have done two successful Jaw in a Day procedures, the department is receiving referrals from in and out of state for the procedure.
Arionna and her family are thrilled with her outcome. Twelve days out, she returned to MUSC for a visit with Khatib. She's made amazing progress, and he's pleased. She hugged the staff and tears were plentiful all around.
"Arionna is a very special young lady. She's going to make a wonderful CIA agent. She's determined, bright and kind. And now, she looks and feels like herself again."
The two have bonded through this rough ordeal. Khatib promised to take her out for pizza as soon as she heals and can eat normally again. She can't wait.
She feels like he's given her her life and future back.
"Dr. K. is amazing," she said. I especially love his sense of humor and his patience. I'm so happy he is my doctor."
To refer a person who could benefit from this procedure or for more information, contact Khatib at email@example.com.
A girl's success story shows how 3-D printing and other technology are transforming dentistry for the iGeneration.
"It's so much better now." Families of people with special needs applaud the opening of a new dental treatment area.

That said, I feel a bit bad for saying Macrocosm is not the "ground breaking work of IF" it's labeled as at the homepage. I'm a huge fan of graphics in IF, and the sound adds to it, too, but the game itself well...
That's my second wish. I wish people would look at typical newbie faults. (I can say that, because I didn't either.)
You are a nameless crewman working on a spaceship and then it's attacked and you take an espace pod and land on an alien pla - Hey, come back here!
It has some flaws that are pointed out in almost every Newbie advice document on IF I've read : The whole attack and space battle is nicely done text-,graphics and soundwise. But it's an interactive cutsecene. The interaction is that you press "z" a lot.
Once you've landed on the planet, you're in a desert which is some sort of maze. I really lost interest at this point. I guess I could've taken a look at the walkthrough, but what's the point? I think I got a really good look at what the game is like.
So, my bottom line: The graphics and sounds really make this game special, and with the right kind of setting, plot, pacing and characters behind it, this could be a sight to behold. As it is, it's a generic game that's nice to look at and listen to.

Autonomous Cars – Another Foray into an Automated Future
With the news of London Taxi firm Addison Lee announcing their plans to introduce autonomous cars on the road of Britain by 2021, I thought I would discuss some examples of automation being used in life today.
Supermarket Checkouts
Supermarket self-checkout systems have been around since the early 1990's, but became more widespread in the early 2000's.
Whilst initially met with immense scepticism, these checkouts are now the norm in almost every supermarket worth its salt.
In fact, modern shops have taken this to a new level, introducing "scan-as-you-shop" systems allowing customers to scan their shopping as they make their way around the store, and pay with minimal time at a kiosk before leaving.
Of course, Amazon looks to be not only entering this space but fundamentally challenging what is seen as a grocery store. From personnel to stock.
Self service checkouts take up less space, cost less, and are more efficient than their human ran counterparts.
Robotic Vacuum Cleaners & Lawn Mowers
Robotics and automation have made their way into the home care market, and with the prices dropping year on year this is becoming more and more accessible. These technologies are available and massively benefit the user.
So you no longer have to push around a loud, vibrating, machine to make your house look presentable. This isn't a major task for the everyday user.
However, for someone with back difficulties – or just someone with a busy schedule – this technology is truly useful.
Coffee Machines
Ever since coffee machines have entered the home market, producers have been trying to add technology to them in the most useful way possible.
Whether it's a simple digital timer on a filter coffee machine or built in Amazon Alexa automatically re-ordering your favourite ground bean blend before you run out, technology will always be applied when it comes to making the perfect brew.
John Lewis now sells a coffee machine with a touchscreen, where you place the beans and milk in, tell it what type of coffee you want and how big your mug is, and off it goes, constructing the perfect cup of coffee you might have paid £4 for at your local café.
Gym Equipment
German Gym Equipment company Milon offer a range of smart training machines.
These machines are operated by first inserting your profile card, which tells the machine who you are and automatically sets itself to the right position and amount of resistance.
During the exercise the screen guides the speed of your motion by a gauge on which you must keep the pin in the centre green space and if you move too fast or too slow it will fall into the outer red space.
Could this replace the need to a personal trainer to be watching and critiquing your every move? Time will tell whether Gyms around the world adopt this new technology, but for now it is still what could be termed an emerging market.
Autonomous Cars
The competition to have the first commercially available self-driving car is between companies today, what the space race was between global powers.
Whilst manufacturers have been slowly automating every aspect of their cars, they still need a human behind the wheel. These include windscreen wipers, side lights, high beams, and even unlocking the car when you walk near.
Car makers Mercedes and Tesla are two of the handful of manufacturers currently offering self-driving capabilities in road cars, however concerns about the technology's safety means even with a self-driving car there must be someone behind the wheel ready to take over if necessary.
Legislative changes around the world are opening the doors for these vehicles to hit the roads, once they are able to prove their safety.
As most road accidents are caused by human error, time will tell if the machines can do a better job, even if not all of the vehicles on the road are driverless.
Whilst today we think of autonomous cars as too far into the future to even think about, could this be how our predecessors felt about motorised vehicles, having been so used to horse powered transport?
Perhaps in the future human driven vehicles will be so antiquated people will wonder what on earth we did without autonomous cars.

Workplace diversity has been a big deal for some time now. Anyone who attends a tech-focussed event can see the challenges many businesses face. Not only are women under-represented but different ethnicities, age groups and educational backgrounds are also an issue. Heather Brunner has enjoyed a long career in the IT business and is now the CEO of WP Engine. She is setting out to build a company that embraces diversity through a series of deliberate actions and policies.
Brunner spent most of her career trying not to be viewed as a woman. She was often the only female executive or woman in the room and simply tried to fit in. But her mindset has changed. She wants to engage her emotional intelligence, as well as her IQ, as she leads WP Engine.
She said "The numbers show we have a lot of work to do".
Indeed, a look at Australia's ASX 200 reveals some damning data. CEO and board chairs are represented by 32 men named John, 32 named peter and 21 named David. The total number of female CEOs or board chairs in that list are just 19.
She said women and minorities need to see more people in senior roles in order to model what's possible. And men need to see that too, in order to expand their horizons.
"Diversity attracts diversity," said Brunner. "You have to declare it and be intentional If you don't you'll find yourself surrounded by people who look just like you".
In order to overcome these biases and to be intentional in hiring a diverse team, Brunner's team has adopted three pillars in their strategy.
- Agree to disagree
- Open your doors wider
- Invest on the inside
Agree to disagree
Businesses and managers need to agree that there may be different ways to get things done and be open to to those. Diversity, said Brunner, isn't just about culture or ethnicity. It's about accepting that people can see the world through different lenses and you need to allow people's different views to be heard.
Open your doors wider
WP Engine sees themselves as a pathway for people from different backgrounds to enter the tech industry, even if their educational background might not be what's expected. Brunner said the company does not require tertiary qualifications to get a job.
The also engage in "open book management". Everyone in the business, as part of the induction program and ongoing education, is taught how ton read the company financials and understand the business' KPIs which are released every month.
"People are learning abut their roles and the business," she said.
That on-boarding process has developed as the company has grown from about 40 staff when Brunner arrived to over 520 five years later with plans to increase to 1000 people. It now takes several weeks with every new team member flown to San Francisco for training in financials, communications and other important company knowledge.
That big investment, said Brunner, has paid off.
Invest on the inside
Brunner said the company's leadership development program is offered to all employees, not just this is management or leadership roles. Over a quarter of the staff were promoted last year alone.
It's all well and good to say these things but how does Brunner put these into practice? She told me the company is deliberate in the language they use in job ads, avoiding terms like "rock star" or "ninja" as they can be off-putting to many people.
During the recruitment process, when candidates answer screening questions, names and genders are not provided to section panels in order to ensure biases based on those factors are eliminated.
No haggle salaries
Potential employees at WP Engine don't get to negotiate their salaries. The company has a "no haggle" policy so stronger negotiators don't have an advantage over other people. Regardless of experience, gender or any other factor, if two people are doing the same job they will be paid the same wage.
However, the company is working at being more declarative about this and has to work hard to track things closely to ensure inequities don't develop.
"We want people to come, feel like they can be themselves, where their opinions matter . They'll be treated as an adult and the company will invest. This has attracted a strong and diverse global workforce with strong retention".

I received this product at no charge from the vendor for the purpose of doing a video, Therefore it has no value to me. This is my opinions and experience with the product, and is in no way intended to be the final hammer of judgment. the #19 has been spoken for 🙂 didn't last long friends Not sure what happened to the audio in the 2nd half of this video, but it's not too shocking for me to have audio issues at this point 😦 ECF Thread regarding modding the #19 http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/apv-discussion/420420-sigelei-19-tips-tricks-donts-43.html Sun-Vapers blog on why he doesn't carry the #19 anymore http://www.sun-vapers.com/why-i-stopped-carrying-the-sigelei-19/ The #19 isn't awful, just know that it's not going to work amazing out of the box and that in order to get a decent performance from it, it WILL need to be modified in some way. People have been doing different things with brass contacts or sanding. I just simply don't have the time or interest in working that hard to get a good vape from it. When I have other mech mods that work flawlessly right out of the package. Now I haven't tried the other Sigelei mechanical mods, So I can't say if they are any better or worse. I know the #20 also requires some modding to get working properly. Remember that all mech mods are not created equal. And while $400+ for some mech mods is a bit ridiculous. There are some in the $100 to $200 range that will work MUCH better than the #19 I don't have videos for them yet but both the Titan and Sentinel are in that category of more expensive but better performing mech mods http://www.okcvapes.com/titan-v1-5/ http://www.nashvillevapor.com/site/products-page/mods/the-sentinel-by-grand-vapor/ Thanks so much for watching everyone ! http://www.grimmgreen.com
So here is the original "TAKING THE NEXT VAPING STEP" video discussing moving from the cig-alike smaller devices, to a bigger Ego / Kgo style device http://youtu.be/6mOlR3INHzU This video is all about moving from that Ego style device to a "MOD" or a big battery / more advanced personal vaporizer. Whatever your reasons for doing so are, Weather you want more battery life, more power, bigger voltage range or a more durable device. There are LOTS of options out there for you. The first thing that people are going to notice is "zOMG WHY DID'NT YOU MENTION THE PROVARI?!" The ProVari is great, super solid mod for sure. I don't own a provari which Is why I didn't mention it in this video, but it is also a possibility, it's just a bit more pricey when it comes down to it http://www.provape.com/provari-variable-voltage-ecig-s/36.htm There are a few that I discussed in the video, where you can get them, and my own video reviews for them ( except for the SID ) TESLA MOD http://ivape.net/index.php/The-Tesla-Chrome.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn8_XDvh6i8 VAMO MOD http://www.discountvapers.com/vamo-v5-chrome/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68IV0QjnscA iTASTE SVD http://www.myvaporstore.com/Innokin_iTaste_SVD_p/ink-svd.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzJ5MLfSlcI iTASTE MVP http://www.cloudsofvapor.com/store/175-starter-kits/1668-itaste-mvp-vv-in-black.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=say8aRAa8JI z-MAX V3 http://www.sun-vapers.com/buy/sigelei-zmax-v3-flat-top-telescopic-mod/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtFZrIkDHnc SMOKTECH SID MOD http://www.litecigusa.net/Smoktech_SID_s/296.htm Here is a link to SteamMonkey's very well written Reddit post that I had also talked about in the video http://www.reddit.com/r/SteamMonkey/comments/1g4gjw/monkey_university_6112013_how_to_move_beyond_your/ A few things to remember when you're looking to get into mods. Do some research first, Some mods have more bells and whistles than others, you have to decide which of those bells and whistles you want. Please don't forget BATTERIES! some vendors will either offer batteries with the kit, or on their site. I like to get my batteries from lighthound http://www.lighthound.com/ in an APV ( Advanced personal vaporizer ) or "MOD" you will want to get good batteries, the AW IMR line of batteries are among the best. Hope someone finds this helpful. Thanks so much for watching everyone! http://www.grimmgreen.com

When you're an independent contractor (or managing some of your own), the last thing you want to worry about is managing hours and invoices. You want to spend the maximum time working, not fumbling through clumsy tools or manually tracking your time.
Nor should you have to spend much time searching for the best tools that will help you accomplish those goals! To make the selection process easy for you, we're corralled the top time-tracking and invoicing tools from our community to make the selection process easy for you. Now get to work!
Time Tracking
If you're looking for a tool strictly for time tracking, you might consider Deputy, Calamari Clockin, Hours, Toggl or TimeStation. You can think of Deputy and Calamari more as attendance management systems, which will allow you to easily track timesheets, attendance and overtime, and both have Google Apps integrations. Deputy puts a bit more focus on task delegation, as well.
Toggl and Hours, both free apps, make real-time tracking easy by allowing you to switch easily between multiple timers. Tom Limongello, CEO of Truffle, states, "I used Hours for keeping track of projects when I was consulting. I think it's kind of silly to track in real-time, but just checking into or out of a project is very useful on a monthly basis because you can export each project you've touched each day. If you look back at your calendar, Hours helps remind you of things you may have missed, and it makes it easy to itemize invoices."
With its clean interface and streamlined UI, Harvest is another much-appreciated invoicing + time tracking tool. "I am always impressed with how far Harvest has taken a solution to a single need: tracking time," says Brett Derricott of Built for Teams. "It's well-designed, intuitive and makes a task that everyone hates something that they hate a little less. The con is that it's expensive, but it's a necessary evil, and a cost I am willing to pay." Jeanne Hardy, CEO of Creative Business Inc. offers similar compliments, though notes that she wishes it integrated with QuickBooks Desktop.
TimeStation, another easy-to-use time tracking platform, allows workers to clock in and out by scanning their designated QR code on their phone or tablet. It's not free like Toggl and Hours, but its fast-scan technology does get the job done quickly. According to Robert Peck, CEO of Commonwealth Joe, "TimeStation is a simple and well-made time tracking system for hourly employees. When a new person starts with our company, they get a laminated QR code card that they keep in their wallets. And then at each coffee shop, the managers have a reader on their cell phone, iPad, etc., where employees scan their QR code to clock in and clock out. We used to track hours with punch cards, which worked okay, but we had to sum up all of the hours manually."
Once you've got time tracking down, you'll also need a simple invoicing system. Here are our top picks for invoicing tools to get the job done.
Xero, used by 10% of the Stacklist community, is known for being easy to use. It's a great low-maintenance option for early-stage startups with simple accounting needs who don't want the learning curve of more complex tools like QuickBooks. Xero covers all basic accounting needs like online invoicing, multi-currency support and expense reporting, but some are frustrated with it as an invoicing tool because it doesn't support recurring payments.
Bill.com is a simple, web-based service that streamlines the process of sending and paying individual expenses or invoices. While it does integrate with some popular accounting platforms, including Xero and QuickBooks, it shouldn't be mistaken for an overarching accounting platform. Stacklisters most appreciate its simplicity and out-of-the-box functionality. Says Carolyn Lanzetta, CEO of Plum Print, "What's great is you can also send ACH payments directly through them, and they will cut the checks for your business; you don't have to mail out invoice payments. Everything is super-easy to do: You can email your invoices to Bill.com, they automatically get loaded on the site to get approval from the appropriate manager, and they automatically go on to the payment stage."
The almighty QuickBooks (used by 62% of our network) is another invoicing option, but a decidedly more complicated one. As an accounting platform, it has a lot of strengths, and it's the preferred choice of most accountants, but it wouldn't be our top choice for startups looking for a platform that really excels at invoicing. Irene Ryabaya, co-founder of Monarq, uses QuickBooks for invoicing and general accounting needs, but acknowledges that it's "hard to get going on your own. But accountants prefer it, and it's easy to use once it's setup correctly. It streamlines everything for us, and we have no complaints for what we use it for."
In general, though, we wouldn't recommend QuickBooks for invoicing unless you're already using the platform—or if your accountant much prefers it to an alternative. "I love FreshBooks, but my accountant made me switch over to QuickBooks Online because it's what she prefers to use," says Helen Todd, CEO of Sociality Squared. "It's nice that it's online, so I can access it too and can create my own invoices."
Simple platforms that come in handy for paying freelancers are Venmo and Dwolla. Zach Obront, COO at Book In A Box feels that Dwolla is the best choice for paying freelancers: "freelancer payments. Payments were just so much faster than with Zenefits. Most freelancers already have Dwolla accounts, so asking them to also set up a Zenefits account was an unnecessary pain. Dwolla also has small transaction fees, which is just one of the many benefits of Dwolla over PayPal."
Tracking time + Invoicing
If you're managing contractors, we'll reiterate one of our most important bits of tool advice, which is to use tools for double-duty whenever possible. So in the case of freelancers or contractors, we'd recommend going with a tool that both tracks time and can handle invoicing. Our top choices of the best hybrid tool are FreshBooks and Harvest.
FreshBooks, used by 6% of Stacklisters, promotes itself specifically to service-oriented small businesses, including consultants and freelancers. It's reasonably priced, well-integrated and easy to use. And while some complain that it isn't great as a full-featured accounting platform, and isn't optimal for e-commerce operations, it does truly exceptionally in the area of time tracking and invoicing. According to Martin Waxman, President of Martin Waxman Communications, "They've done a great job of integrating time tracking, invoicing, and project management, all into one tool." Mark Brandon, Founder of QBox states, "We use FreshBooks for invoicing, and it's awesome. It's easy to use, powerful, inexpensive, and it's easy to integrate your processes right to their API."
When it comes down to it, startups and freelancers themselves should select the time tracking and invoicing platform/s that help them focus on the job at hand. Hopefully these tips will make the tool selection process just as effortless!

This was a great post from a few years ago.
This was a great post from a few years ago.
This blog is a way for me to reach out to other people that like coffee, martinis, and wine. I think of each person I meet as a "friend" and I always try to help my friends.
Each of us learns new things in our travels, and I hope to learn from my friends as much as possible.
Recently, I decided to start blogging. I really enjoy going out for dinner and drinks with friends. It seems I always gravitate towards the specialty drink menus, the wine lists, and all beverages being served. Perhaps I should mention that I am also a bartender. And a lover of both coffee and wine. Have you heard about people with Champagne taste on a beer budget? Mmm hmm. I pour drinks, but my bank account is not "rich." I am wealthy in so many ways, and glad that I get to try so many types of wine, cocktails, and coffees with the people I care about. So, with that in mind, I will do my best to share all the things I love with you.

Tactique is a football design project developed in a team with Marine Chatras and Martin Cabrol during a contest among students of the Parisian graphic design school EPSAA. The competition, assigned by the city council of Paris, was to come up with a creative way to report the routes leading to the fan zone of the Eiffel Tower for the Euro 2016. Playing with the graphic codes that already exist on the football field and on the clipboard or notepad of the coach or journalist, our goal was to direct fans and spectators from many different countries without the linguistic or cultural barriers. 22 visuals were displayed from the metro station Duplex to the Champ-de-Mars during the time of the UEFA competition.
Client: City Council of Paris
Institution: School EPSAA
Designers: Lucille Fenouil, Marine Chatras and Martin Cabrol
Country: France
The UEFA 2016 project was published on ÉTAPES MAGAZINE and in the vol.36 of the world's best graphics magazine of Chois Publishing.

Why Being a Lawyer is One of the Best Careers
In the current market that we are in getting that right job that might fit your lifestyle can be a hard thing to accomplish easily and of all the available careers available one of the most convenient work is being a lawyer.
Being a lawyer has its good side and one of them includes proper payment but just like any other jobs it still has its challenges one should be careful on that revolves around being committed and facing the still competition as many lawyers are looking to be on top of every case they come along.
Below are some of the reasons why a lawyer is an example of a convenient career.
Monthly Wages
In the market we currently leaving in, reason as to why being a lawyer is one of the most recommended jobs is because with you becoming a lawyer and becoming satisfied with you various cases, then you will be sure that the pay cheque you will get after all that will be of a significant amount of money and through that then you can be able to get yourself anything you want.
Another reason as to why it is advised to choose to be a lawyer as your profession is because with being a lawyer another benefit that you will gain from the huge payment and the skills that one gain in their years of experience is you can be able to live a luxurious life that every individual usually targets to live; in short it is the type of career that can easily give you the prestigious lifestyle that will give you a chance to show off in front of your friends once in a while.
Working on the same condition every day of our lives especially if you are at the top position can be good thing but at times it can be boring and force you to lose the momentum that you need for you to be productive and thanks to being a lawyer then you can be sure that the work can never be tedious for you as you will be faced by different kinds of challenges that will force you to be on your toes at all times.
The world we are in has two types of people; the ones that like seeing people suffer for a crime that they did not commit and the ones that like helping people that cannot help themselves as they are accused of a fault that is not there, and a benefit from that is if you are the kind type of person then practicing law as your career gives you an excellent platform for you to be able to practice law practice that is significant in helping those who cannot help themselves.

"So, where's the index?"posted: 3.12.15 by Andrea Lunsford
Bedford/St. Martin's editor extraordinaire Carolyn Lengel and I have been interviewing student writers as we're working on a new edition of The Everyday Writer. We haven't met these students; all we knew is that they had used Everyday Writer in one of their writing classes. As we talked, the students told us when and why they used the book, what they thought it had been helpful for, what about it they liked—or would like to see improved. But we were also interested in HOW they used the book. So we asked them to walk us through one time when they wanted to find information in their handbook—step by step. [read more]

"Ethiopia… the Best Place to be "
The general topography of the Park is flat, with some areas of higher ground where deciduous woodland and savanna occur; these higher areas are often rocky with large termite mounds. About 66% of the area is considered shrubland, 15% is forest, while 17% has been modified by man. Gambela National Park also supports extensive areas of wet grassland and swamps where the native grasses grow over 3 metres in height.
The Gambela Park was established primarily to protect two species of endangered wetland antelopes: the White-eared Kob and the Nile Lechwe. Other wildlife reported as living here include populations of elephant, African Buffalo, lion, roan antelope, Tiang, Lelwel Hartebeest, olive baboon, and guereza monkey. Several birds only found in this area include the shoebill stork, the Long-tailed Paradise Whydah and the Red-throated and Green Bee-eaters.
In every way Ethiopia is unique! It has its own languages, its own calendar, its own brand of Christianity and a landscape that is unparalleled.Read more...

Introducing 'The Park House'. The brief to Urban Intelligence was to have the technology completely concealed in all areas of the home. When you walk through 'The Park House', it's evident that the brief has been fully met, with all technology blending seamlessly with the design.
Seeing is believing

If you want to give a gift card – there's a world of choice! It's not just a card on a desk. Here are some options.
This is one of the easiest ways to offer a reward can and help you create a bespoke package for your employees so that your "thank you" is extra special.
Preference from SVM Global allows you to choose from a wide variety of different brands to suit your individual employees. You order the codes, and the recipient takes this code and orders the gift card or eCode that suits them.
Spot rewards are small gestures that can go a long way to benefitting not only the employee, but also the business. They are easy to give, great to receive and are apparent to many people in the business that hard work is rewarded!
As well as birthdays, there are also some great moments you can reward. Here are the most popular.
Many businesses make the mistake of only rewarding their employees once a year, during the Christmas period, realising this only encourages a slight fluctuation in moral during November – December time. Whilst long service rewards are brilliant and a desirable benefit, ensure that you balance the rewards as a whole so performance doesn't suddenly spike towards a 'reward period'.
Project completions are something to be celebrated. In a world of sprints, project management and agile, how many times do you stop, pause, and reflect on the project with a reward? Take a moment to notice where people in the business are and see if you can add a reward into the current process.
Rewarding your staff not only releases a stimulant to progress and accomplish their goals and objectives, but also boosts morale. Thus, the gift becomes the influential encouragement that inspires your employees to be more productive, and therefore loyal to you and your business.
When you choose a gift card you know it will be appreciated. SVM Global offers over 500 brands, from supermarket brands through to health, beauty and fashion.
Why not call us today and discuss how you can make rewards a part of your working culture?
Call 01709 303102 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

A federal judge ordered an adult Web business to pay $37.5 million in damages Thursday for fraudulently billing thousands of people for visits to Internet porn sites, even though many of those billed did not own a computer.
Dennis Rappaport, Kenneth Taves and wife Teresa, all of Malibu, California, bought from a bank a database of more than 3 million Visa and MasterCard account numbers, intended to be used to verify valid cardholders for legitimate Internet transactions. Instead, Rappaport, Taves and Taves charged the cardholders for adult Web site visits that never took place.
More than 50 percent of those billed did not even own a computer, according to the Federal Trade Commission, who charged the Taveses and Rappaport with fraud.
The schemers collected $49 million in annual "sales", more than 90 percent of which had actually come from unauthorized charges, Los Angeles U.S. District Court Judge Audrey Collins said in her ruling.
The group fraudulently billed some $43 million worth of credit and debit card transactions, using five different merchant accounts and several fictitious business names, according to the FTC. When thousands of consumers complained about the charges, the defendants told the merchant banks the consumers had authorized the charges.
On their credit card statements, customers saw the charges listed under the names "Netfill," "N-Bill," "Webtel" and "MJD Service Corp," all of which have been shut down since January 1999, when a judge ordered them closed amid fraud allegations from the FTC.
The defendants received a $37.5 million fine, which accounts for $43 million in bogus charges, minus refunds some customers managed to obtain. The FTC said that although the defendants have more than $20 million in assets, it is unclear how much of the damages they will be able to pay.
As part of the judge's ruling, Kenneth Taves was prohibited from ever owning, controlling or holding a managerial position in any business that handles consumer credit card numbers. Likewise, the judge said Teresa Taves will have to obtain a $500,000 surety bond in order to engage in any business that deals with credit card numbers.
Dennis Rappaport fled to Jamaica after he was served with his initial FTC complaint.

SEPTA union workers have voted to authorize a strike.
The vote involved about 5,000 bus drivers, subway operators and other workers. They belong to Transport Workers Local 234, the largest of SEPTA's unions. The members voted unanimously to authorize union leadership to call a strike at SEPTA if necessary.
The group has been working without a contract since spring.
Earlier, Union president Willie Brown told The Philadelphia Inquirer that a strike was all but certain.
He plans a news conference Monday to discuss the vote.
SEPTA spokeswoman Jerri Williams says no strike appears imminent. She says the two sides have continued to negotiate to try to reach a contract agreement.

Curriculum enrichment projects for schools
These projects, for Key Stage 3/4 students, take place at your school or college and enrich the curriculum as well as developing independent learning skills.
Science Research Projects
Working through the investigative process week by week, students tackle a research question they really want to answer.
At the end of the project, students have the opportunity to give a demonstration of their research and display an academic poster to explain what they have done. Students are taught scientifically throughout, with a strong emphasis on developing their capacity for scientific vocabulary.
Designed to be cross-curricula, the projects demonstrate the links between subjects and overcome unhelpful knowledge segmentation.
Throughout the project, students work alongside university undergraduates, researchers and staff who, as scientists, will highlight the relevance of school subjects and how they form the basis for future study at A Level and beyond.
Assessing the Effect of Renewable Energy
In each week of the project students explore different forms of renewable energy, looking at the science of power extraction, engineering challenges and the impact on the viability of each method.
Students work with a range of equipment including solar panels, miniature turbine construction and Stirling and steam engines to explore and test their effectiveness, recording their results to present at the final poster presentation session.
The sessions are delivered by researchers and students from our Faculty of Design and Engineering and illustrate the practical application of key aspects of the GCSE science curriculum.
Social Justice
Through an exploration of various themes within the topic of Social Justice, exploring issues such as gender and race inequality, poverty, international development, education and perceptions of young people, students identify a relevant research question, undertake a literature review, examine research ethics, and engage in data collection and analysis.
As well as developing the research skills required for humanities and social sciences this project will also develop more widely applicable critical thinking and analytical skills. Students get the opportunity to debate and research.

Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs's Social Links
Steve Jobs was born in 1955 to two University of Wisconsin Graduate Students. They decided to give him up for adoption. He was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs, and named Steven Paul Jobs. Not until the age of 27 was Jobs able to find out who his real parents were. Steve Jobs is most famous for Apple Computers, which he started in 1976.
Steve grew up in Silicon Valley. His mother was an accountant. His father was a machinist. He learned mechanics from his father in his garage. Jobs was a jokester as a child. He did not study much, but was very bright. He was so gifted, that school administration wanted to skip him up to high school early. His parents decided against it.
In high school, he met Steve Wozniak. Both of them loved electronics, and the relatively unknown computer chip. They fiddled with it on their spare time. Steve Jobs dropped out of college and instead sat in on some creative classes. He got his love for Typography from a class on Calligraphy. In 1974, he got a job as a video game designer with Atari, only to quit months later to go on a spiritual voyage in India.
In 1976, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs started Apple computers in Steve's garage. They funded it by selling Steve's car, and his scientific calculator. They made a series of personal computers and sold them for $666.66 each. The computers were easy to use and much smaller in size than their predecessors. The Apple I computer made $774,000. Three years later when the Apple II came out, sales went up by 700 percent, to a whopping 139 million. In 1980, Apple Computer became a publicly traded company, valued at 1.2 billion on the first day of trading.
Apple did not do well from there. The next products that came out had design issues, and comsumers were not happy. IBM had taken over the computer market. In 1984, Apple released the MacIntosh, but despite positive sales, it was not IBM compatible. In 1985, after being phased out for years, Steve Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple.
Jobs's next move was to buy Pixar Animation Studios from George Lucas. Pixar was successful with it's animated movies. It produced hits like Toy Story and Finding Nemo. Pixar Films has made over Four billion dollars. In 2006, they merged with Disney.
Jobs went back to his position as CEO at Apple, after the failure of his new computer company, NeXT. He created new stock options and took a salary of only $1 per year. He created a colorful, stylish IMac, which did well with young students and creative professionals.
In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Jobs chose to wait to have surgery, and stay healthy by practicing Eastern medicine. He was notoriously private about his health.
Meanwhile, Apple was on fire. They developed a series of products that everyone had to have. This stared with the MacBook, then the iPod, and finally the iPhone, which revolutionized the cell phone industry. The company today makes 2 billion in profit. ITunes is now the biggest seller of music in the US.
Jobs's cancer returned in 2009, and he died of pancreatic cancer. Jobs was beloved by the nation, and the memorials went on for days, if not months. Jobs was married to Lauren Powell, a Stanford MBA Grad Student. They married in 1991, and had three children. He also had another child with a former girlfriend.

I think part of the reason it took me so long to remember that it was a band member's birthday is because I never do the birthdays. In the 2 years that we have been blogging, I think Rhonda has had every single one of them until now. So, I'm not used to acknowledging a birthday much more beyond the Today in Duran history that I post. Now, I could follow in my partner's footsteps and write about said band member, but I won't. It isn't that I don't have anything to say. Oh, I have plenty that I could say but…I want to acknowledge his day by showing what Simon does best, as far as the band goes. It seems to me that Simon brings the following talents to Duran Duran: First, his voice is unique and amazing. Second, when he gets his lyrics right, they are nothing less than fabulous poetry. Third, his ability to perform is second to none. I have watched many people at different times go to their first Duran shows. In almost all cases, when they go, they do not have a favorite but they do when they leave! It is always Simon, too! Of course, Simon is also good for creating some humor for himself, for the band and definitely for the fans! Thus, after we watch some clips showcasing those talents, we will watch some clips of other memorable Simon birthdays as we wish him the most fabulous of birthdays.
When I think of Simon's voice, I tend to think of those early albums when his voice is natural and so utterly unique. I have heard/read many people say that Simon's voice is such that as soon as the vocals start in a Duran song, everyone knows who the artist is because of Simon's voice. Here is a clip of early Simon singing Anyone Out There:
Of course, another factor beyond Simon's voice that makes Duran's music so special to so many of us is their lyrics. Simon truly can be a poet and one that requires thinking and invites personal interpretation. I enjoy that we can listen to a song and all think Simon is talking about different subjects. His lyrics are such that we can all put our own spin on them, which makes such a strong connection between the listener and the performer. Now, many people, when thinking of Simon's lyrics might pick out songs like The Chauffeur, for its poetry factor, or a song like Union of the Snake, for our collective inability to really determine what it means, but I am not. To me, one of the best songs Simon has ever written is Before the Rain. It is complete poetry and really spoke to me when I was dealing with the loss of two loved ones at the same time. On top of that, he sings it beautifully.
Then, there is Simon's performances. Simon has the ability to connect with an audience and to entertain them like no other. Duran Duran, truly, would have been lost without a lead singer like Simon. While I might focus my attention elsewhere, I know that Simon is able to get the audience's attention and to keep their attention. The shows wouldn't work otherwise. As a kid, I remember so many times watching the documentary, Sing Blue Silver, with my best friend at the time. We saw how Simon got the crowd into participating during Girls on Film and knew, right then and there, that if we ever saw Duran live, we, too, would participate the WHOLE time. LOL
Of course, there have been times when Simon has become particularly entertaining during a show. That's typically when he tries to dance. I'm still amused by the strange dance we saw during Skin Trade in the summer of 2009 and the video of Friends of Mine from Hammersmith in 1982.
Based on all of the reasons I mentioned above and more, I hope that Simon has a memorable, fantastic birthday. Maybe it will be just as wonderful as one of these:
Happy Birthday, Mr. LeBon!!!
