The reason is simple: /etc/rc.local isn't executable after installation.
So chmod -x /etc/rc.local makes the trick.

When installing how, with what version of Ubuntu? This bug was reported against Ubuntu 11.10. The initscripts package in Ubuntu 11.10 includes an /etc/rc.local file that is marked executable.

No, that does the exact opposite of what you want.

Same Version as reported by Florian, see bug description: 11.10 amd64

I don't know whats marked as whatsoever - but after installation of Ubuntu 11.10 (x86_64) it is possible that /etc/rc.local is not executable.
I've double checked that in the moment by performing two identical fresh installations on different hardware and it seems to be a strange behaviour:
* HP EliteBook 8560p, i5-2540M, SSD: NOT executable
* Virtual machine (VMware ESXi): executable
Installations were done by booting the live CD per PXE, then performing "apt-get upgrade".

Right, it's a typo, correct is: chmod +x /etc/rc.local

I'm suffering from this bug in 12.04.
Using Lenovo X220 laptop. I installed 12.04 on it.
Every time I boot the display's brightness sets to the highest setting: max_brightness = 15. This is way too bright and want to set it to 3.
I have spent a long time trying to fix this. Tried editing rc.local file by adding the "echo 3 >" line before exit 0. But it never works. laptop always resets to level 15 after boot. I tried everything here: http://
Does anyone know how I can edit the maximum_brightness down? Can I set a lower maximum_brightness?

Hi, guys ;)
Julien's hack of the rc.local file in the init.d directory did not work for me. I booted several times after making the change and one time it did boot with reduced brightness. But all other times Max Brightness was always on. I have no idea why it booted with reduced brightness that one time. I tried replicating with boot on battery, boot with power connected, but all those other times I got Max Brightness. I dealing with a stock 12.04 install so there's no chance I bonked something from a configuraton error.
I checked my rc.local files and they are all marked as executable by root.
Is there any way to get an Ubuntu Developer to fix this? This is a serious bug. I mean booting at Max Brightness on battery seriously drains the battery causing heat as well with increased fan speed. And Max Brightness artificially wears down the Display's health. I think this should be considered a serious bug that deserves "professional" attention to fix, especially for LTS quality.
I would be most appreciative of any ideas on how to fix this. I really want to fix it. What can I do now? Please advise, thank you.
|Steve Langasek (vorlon) wrote :
I have no idea why people are following up to this bug with questions about max brightness all of a sudden, but this is a bug report about /etc/rc.local not being marked executable. If your /etc/rc.local file is not executable, then you may be seeing this bug - in which case it would be helpful if you would provide more information about how /etc/rc.local came to not be executable on your system, since we can't reproduce this.
However, it is much more likely that the problem you're encountering is not due to /etc/rc.local failing to execute at startup, but instead due to your rc.local not being configured to do what you actually want. You should test that the proposed command does anything at all by running it at the command line:
echo 0 > /sys/class/
If you can't get it to work at the commandline, you definitely won't get it to work from rc.local. And even if you get it to work at the commandline, this setting may be getting overridden by the desktop after rc.local runs.
But unless 'ls -l /etc/rc.local' shows that the file is not executable, please do not send further follow-ups to this bug report. The askubuntu question is a much more appropriate place to discuss.
|Lindsey334 (lindtine334) wrote :
Steve Langasek:
People are following up this bug because nothing has been done about it.
YES, the proposed command: echo 0 > /sys/class/
So since it works at the command line, I don't understand why it is not working in the rc.local file. Hence = bug.
And YES the rc.local file is marked as executable. This is actually the first thing I checked when I noted it wasn't working.
Is there anything else I can do to get rc.local working please or to get someone to address this bug please?
By the way, this issue has already been posted on AskUbuntu with zero help provided. In fact, a link to the question has already been posted in this comment thread.
Thanks, looking forward to your response.

I'm having the same problem, and got here via a screen brightness problem as well.
I can run
and the screen dims each time
so it's not the file(s) or the permissions (I checked they're all executable by root).
So I'm assuming /etc/rc2.

Actually, rc.local *is* running for me, it's just not executing the screen dimmer command...
I put

So it looks like I'm going down a different rabbit hole now.

I had this issue and post 2 did not help. I recently upgraded from MythBuntu 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 and found rc.local not executing, or so I thought.
I ran it manually and received an error:
/etc/rc.local: 18: /etc/rc.local: cannot create /sys/module/
So I removed line 18 from rc.local and the problem was solved.
The problematic line was:
echo 0 > /sys/module/
|Dylan Howey (howey014) wrote :
@Matt Miller:
The shebang in the rc.local script reads "#!/bin/bash -e", where the "-e" means that the script will immediately stop if any command in the script fails. The fact that file 2 did not appear on your desktop means that there was a problem with your "xbacklight" command.
Some playing around shows that rc.local runs pretty early on compared to other things when the system is booting. It's completely possible that you're trying to run "xbacklight" too early (e.g., the X server probably hadn't even started yet) and it had failed as a result.
Try putting a short pause before you run that command; do this by adding the line "sleep 30" before the line where you're trying to dim the screen. This tells the machine to wait 30 seconds (or whatever amount of time you want) before moving on to the next line of the script. I'm willing to bet that this will fix the problem that you're having, as well as Lindsey334's and Chad William's.

What do you mean, it stops? How do you know that it stops?
On a 15.04 system, it is expected that the /lib/lsb/
will divert this call to systemd, and that systemd will handle the execution
of rc.local via /lib/systemd/
If this isn't working, please file a separate bug report against the systemd

Single-use medical devices, pharmaceuticals, components, and packaging that need to be sterile must be treated with an appropriate and validated technique. It is also important to formally assess the potential effects of the sterilization process on product and packaging materials.
This article describes the most commonly used industrial sterilization techniques, which are radiation sterilization (gamma and electron beam) and gas sterilization (ethylene oxide), and their effect on commonly used materials.
Gamma Sterilization
Gamma sterilization uses a radioactive source, typically Cobalt-60 (60Co), which emits high energy gamma rays. Ionizing radiation can modify physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials. Currently, principal industrial applications of radiation are for sterilization of healthcare products (including pharmaceuticals), irradiation of food and materials modification (such as polymer cross-linking).
Gamma sterilization is a "cold" sterilization technique, where temperature is not a key parameter. Temperature may increase slightly in the product due to ionization, but gamma sterilization may be effective at ambient, refrigerated, or even frozen conditions. The key parameter is the dose received by the product. The dose is dependent on the presentation to the source and the time exposed to the gamma ray source.
Gamma rays, emitted from 60Co, are pure energy, similar in many ways to microwaves and x-rays. Gamma rays delivered during radiation sterilization alter chemical bonds by interacting with the electrons at the atomic level. Although gamma rays are highly effective in reducing or eliminating microorganisms, they do not have sufficient energy to impart radioactivity on the device or component being sterilized.
The minimum dose required to sterilize a product is based on its bioburden (i.e., the microbiological contamination on the product) and the maximum acceptable dose is driven by the radiation tolerance, and stability, of the product.
Gamma sterilization may be performed on individual boxes, in irradiation containers usually referred to as totes, or on pallets.
Packaging for Gamma Radiation
Because there is no requirement for pressure or vacuum, gamma radiation eliminates the need for gas permeable packaging materials as required for EO processing. Packaging is developed and formulated for radiation stability. Tough, impermeable packaging materials provide a strong, long-term sterile barrier.
Materials compatibility. Gamma radiation is compatible with many plastics, all metals, and glass (subject to color change). Some polymers, however, are affected either by embrittlement, discoloration, or degradation.
Note that gamma rays generate free radicals that can further react and degrade the materials. The nature of the reactions of these free radicals depends on the nature of the plastics, the presence of oxygen, the absence/presence of additives (antioxidants may be added to limit the free radicals), the dose applied to the material, and other environmental factors. Some polymers that are quite resistant to temperature, chemicals, and acids, such as PTFE, may be extremely sensitive to radiation. Table 1, derived from AAMI TIR 17:2008, ranks polymers according to their relative resistance to radiation. 1
Electron beam (E-beam) Sterilization
Electron beam sterilization does not use a radioactive source and, instead, product is sterilized by exposure to a concentrated charged stream of accelerated electrons generated by an electron accelerator. Electron accelerators are capable of producing electron beams that are either pulsed or continuous. E-beam radiation is a form of ionizing energy that is generally characterized by its relatively low penetration and high dose rates.
In comparison, gamma radiation has high penetration and low dose rate, while E-beam has high dose rate and low penetration, but either technology can give a reproducible irradiation process.
E-beam irradiation is similar to gamma processing in that electrons alter various chemical and molecular bonds in the exposed product, including within the DNA of microorganisms.
The dose can be delivered to the product much faster than for gamma, but the penetration of the electrons is more limited than gamma rays. The technique is indicated more for low-density and uniform products. Typically, the irradiation container for E-beam processing is the individual product box. The boxes are typically irradiated on one side and then rotated 180 degrees to expose the opposite side.
Packaging for E-beam is quite comparable with that used for gamma and the compatibility with materials is also quite similar, and the information presented in Table 1 may also be applicable for the E-beam process.

First of all, you're awesome. So many couples who lose a child feel so alone as they go through their grief. You are demonstrating to your friends or family that they are not alone, and that has to mean a great deal to them. As much as you'd like to be able to fix this for them and take away the hurt, you've figured out that there is nothing you can do to fix it. But you want to do something that will really help them heal. To help make it possible for them to attend a Respite Retreat is a great way to truly help. We hope they'll want to come and that they will come.
And that is an essential part of the equation—that they want to come, and that they are ready to come. Sometimes we're in a hurry to help people heal from this devastating loss, but they're not really ready for that. The reality of the loss is still settling in.
So what should you do if you want to help a couple come to a Respite Retreat?
Decide what you, your church, or your group of friends are willing to cover in terms of cost—whether it will be just the registration cost or if you are also providing funds for hotel, gas, flights, rental car if needed, meals on the way, extra hotel nights if needed, etc.
Send your friends or family the link to the webpage, letting them know that you would like to help make it possible for them to attend the retreat if it something they want to do. Give them the dates for the next retreat and make sure they understand that there is space for only the first 10 couples who register.
We've learned a thing or two along the way of doing these retreats since 2009. One of the most important things we've learned is that it is good for every couple to have "some skin in the game." Sometimes friends or a church want to do everything for the couple out of a desire to serve them during a time when doing the simplest things is challenging. But we think it is wise to require that the couple themselves:
request the application from us
fill out and return the application to us
pay at least £100 toward the £300 registration fee
We've found that when couples don't do at least these three things, maybe they don't really want to come or simply aren't ready yet. It might be better to wait until they feel the need for help toward healing enough to be willing to take these initial steps themselves. We've found that when others do these things for them, they are more likely to cancel at the last minute.
So we suggest that when you point your friends to the website, let them know that if they want to come and if they will request the application and return the application with $100 paid toward registration (you can tell them that we require that, because honestly, we do), you will cover the remaining portion of the registration fee and whatever other costs you are willing to cover.
We hope your friends will come. We promise to love them well. Contact us if you have any further questions.

No one can deny the fact that The Royal Family are not like the rest of us. They live in palaces and sprawling manors, we don't. The numerous differences go far beyond the material and fiscal.
Unsurprisingly, the Royal family has a very different way of speaking. Social anthropologist and author of Watching the English, Kate Fox, has given us a fascinating insight into the vocabulary loved by the Royals.
Specifically, there are certain words Duchess Of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles, Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Harry never use.
We all always think that 'pardon' was more polite than the alternatives. We not being royal, however, were wrong. 'Pardon' however, is forbidden to use. Instead, The Royals say, you should say 'sorry' or maybe 'sorry, what' ?
Also Read: Who is the most charitable member of the Royal Family ?
The word 'toilet' may be a more palatable term than 'bog' or 'loo'. But it's the latter which is used whenever a member of the House of Windsor needs to relieve themselves. According to the British Royal Family 'Toilet' is French by origin, so is apparently avoided. So, if you're ever visiting the Buckingham Palace, you should probably ask the nearest footman where the LOO is ?
Complimenting or commenting someone on how they smell is tricky. There is a fine line between coming across simply as nice, or just plain weird . Unfortunately, the Royal's do not prefer the word perfume. The Royals do not wear perfume, they wear 'SCENT'.
One surefire way of outing yourself as being decidedly and precisely un-royal is to refer to your evening meal as 'tea'. The Royal Family uses the word 'SUPPER' instead of tea.
Related: Why Queen Elizabeth might not attend Prince Harry's wedding ?
The palaces have many rooms, but not one of them is a 'LOUNGE', or a 'LIVING ROOM'. This isn't because the Royals do not watch movies or play cards for fun. It may be a lounge for us, but that's not what the Royal Family call it. Instead, it's because they retire to either a 'DRAWING ROOM' or a 'SITTING ROOM'.

Cannes Lions: Ronald McDonald Cameo Ignites Deep-Seated Clown Rage
Clowns give me mixed feelings. Having seen Killer Klowns from Outer Space at too young an age, they terrify me. And having watched a clown dejectedly make unwanted balloon animals at a party where all the kids were too old, they also make me inexpressibly sad.
Anyway, Ronald McDonald was outside the Palais today, wearing jetpacks of all things. He was doing this big dog and pony show for whoever reared a camera in his direction. Seeing him made me frightened, and when I'm scared I get mad, hence the venomous video.
Afterward I tried taking incriminating potshots of him leaping around and being generally objectionable. But then he looked at me -- right at me -- and gave me that Sad Clown Look. And my heart exploded into tiny little glass pieces. Every time I look at the picture at left, I want to cry.
Clowns: gift-wrapped radiators of fear and melancholy. This is something a Happy Meal can't fix.

Dhal chutney / Paruppu thovaiyal
Thoor dhal / red gram - 1 tbsp
Bengal gram/channa dhal - 3 tbsp
red chillies - 4
shredded coconut- 1 tbsp
tamarind - 1/4 of the size of gooseberry.
salt - 1/4 tsp
curry leaves - 1 brig
cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
garlic - 1 pearl.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and fry channa dhal to golden brown color.
Then in the remaining oil roast the red chillies and coconut separately to almost crispy state.
After they get cool, grind every thing in Indian mixer or any blender without water for 20 seconds.
Then add very little water and grind coarsely to get a thick chutney.
serving suggestions:
Goes fine with tamarind rice, lemon rice, urid dhal rice and coconut rice.
Tastes good for 24 hours without refrigerator.
My mom always packs tamarind rice with this paruppu thovaiyal for picnics.

Pope urges prayer for peace, laments arms trafficking
February 17, 2017
In his February 16 weekday Mass homily at Domus Sanctae Marthae, Pope Francis preached on the tragedy of war and the importance of prayer and work for peace.
"In today's world there is blood being spilt," he preached. "Today the world is at war. Many brothers and sisters are dying, even innocent people, because the great and powerful want a larger slice of the earth; they want a little more power, or they want to make a little more money on arms trafficking."
Prayer for peace, he continued, "is not a formality; work towards peace is not a formality … War begins in the heart of a person; it begins at home, in the family, among friends and then goes out into the whole world."

This is precisely the way that Pope Francis and all politicians should speak about combat arms. It is not the arms themselves that are evil, but the human heart that plots death, that plots avarice, that plots covetousness. I am not so certain, however, that war always begins at home. Typically it begins not at the dinner table, but outside of the home, on the internet, on the telephone, at a committee meeting, just about anywhere but at the home. If at home, this type of scheming is hidden.

This past week I didn't have any excuses. Some rain, notwithstanding, I should've been able to have made time for exercise. I only exercised once last week. And threw all other caution to the wind.
Because of my lack of effort I went up another pound (Back up to 226 lbs) and I think I pretty much lost the fight in me. I had two free days this week and didn't bother to try to exercise. I have a morning shift tomorrow so technically I should have plenty of time to begin exercise anew before dinner, or right after, to start getting things right again. But I'm not sure if I care anymore. I know intellectually that I should. I have been making good progress and despite some setbacks I have been doing ok thus far.
I guess I'm just in self-pity mode and for the moment just need a brief respite of self-loathing and solace before I get myself back up and start the process all over. I almost didn't even bother writing this blog entry (which is why it took so long to get this posted). But here it is. I guess I haven't quite given it all up just yet.

Today I received this beauty as a gift from the Navigation Officer. Not that he is trying to tell me something but we had these new books on order for a while and we just received them today.
Of course, the first question everyone around had was "what changed?". I was wondering the same and as usual, when I wonder something, I google it. To my disappointment I could not find any articles to summarize the changes but instead a multitude of websites from where you can buy the new edition, e-book or hard copy, whatever works best for you. By the way, if you are interested to buy it, it costs around US $130 from what I've noticed and there is also an app available in Play Store.
Disappointed with my google search and I knew that the question "what changed" will get back to me very soon I decided to browse through the actual books (2011 and 2017 editions) and get a better understanding on what differentiate them. No, I did not read the whole new edition (yet) but I did try to identify the new chapters and regulations. And no, I will not go into too many legislative details but what I can do, is give you a quick, simple summary on what seems to be the changes on the new 2017 edition.
Basically, the new MARPOL 2017 Consolidated edition includes all the amendments that have been adopted in the last years (keeping in mind the previous MARPOL edition was published in 2011 so a lot of things changed since then) by the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC).
At first glimpse, this is what I've noticed:
Annex 1 Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution from Oil
One of the most important and comprehensive Annexes of the convention, here we get 2 new chapters ("Verification of compliance with the Provisions of this Convention" and "International Code for Ships operating in Polar Waters") and 47 Regulations instead of 43 what we had before. The Appendices seem to remain the same although I did not go into details to check each form to see if there are any changes.
Annex 2 Regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk
Same as Annex I, we have the same 2 new chapters (same titles) bringing 4 new regulations to the existing 18 from before. The structure of appendices to Annex II seem to be the same as well.
Annex 3 Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Form
This Annex, I believe had the least changes. Only one new chapter and two new regulations added to the new edition. There is no reference to the Polar Code here either from the looks of it.
Annex 4 Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Sewage from Ships
Here we are back to our two new chapters (same as Annex 1) that bring 4 new regulations to this Annex but we also have a new regulation in one of the older chapters regarding sewage reception facilities for passenger ships in special areas (Chapter 4, Reg 13). Having sailed in the Baltic I know exactly how important it is to have proper reception facilities when you sail in a special area. No changes in the Appendix structure.
Annex 5 Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships
Here the regulations are slightly renamed and reorganized. Together with the same two new chapters as Annex 1, we now have a total of 14 Regulation instead on 9 in the old edition. The Form of the Garbage Record Book in the Appendix I know for a fact that is now different than the old edition too (we just ordered the new books with the new format).
Annex 6 Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships
In my opinion, this Annex had the most changes with the new revision. With the increased focus lately on global warming, emissions and ship efficiency it really does not come as a surprise. The regulations have increased to 25 instead of 18 in the past. There are again two new chapters, only this time one regarding "Regulations on energy efficiency for ships" and the other one on verification of compliance, same as all the other annexes. There is also a new Appendix too that provides the Form of International Energy Efficiency (IEE) Certificate, Appendix VIII.
Again, I did not browse every page on the book to see all the details and changes (and I am sure they are quite a lot) but I did try to make an idea on what is new. For sure I will need to browse further in the following days/ weeks.
If you have additional information or questions on what is new in the 2017 MARPOL edition I would love to hear more about it in the comment section.
Time to get some rest now and get ready for St George (Grenada) tomorrow. God, I love the Caribbean!

On Wednesday 13th January, disabled people travelled to Parliament to lobby MPs on the damaging effect the provisions in the Welfare Reform and Work Bill will have on them. This is an issue I have spoken on in Parliament many times, including at Third Reading in October which you can read about here.
I was pleased to meet with a number of local and regional lobbyists, including with Greg from the MND Association (pictured below) and Tony from RNIB (pictured right), to hear first-hand of the effects on them of Government's proposed changes to the social security system. If the Bill is amended in the Lords, it will return to the Commons and I will continue to argue hard against the wide range of cuts that will have a devastating impact on disabled people and others.
The lobby came just a day after a Westminster Hall debate, led by my colleague Ian Lucas MP, on employment for disabled people. As Shadow Minister of State for Disabled People I responded to the debate and you can read my speech in full below:-
Debbie Abrahams: It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Chope. Congratulations to my hon. Friend the Member for Wrexham (Ian C. Lucas) on raising such an important issue, and on representing his constituent Margaret Foster so ably. The situation he described is, unfortunately, what is happening to disabled people up and down the country.
Since 2010, 3.7 million disabled people have been affected by £23.8 billion of cuts as a result of, for example, the Welfare Reform Act 2012. It does not stop there. Under the Welfare Reform and Work Bill that is passing through the House at the moment, another 500,000 disabled people will be affected by changes to ESA WRAG support—another £640 million of cuts. That does not include the cut to the universal credit work allowance, or the £3.6 billion of cuts made to social care since 2010. My hon. Friend the Member for Banff and Buchan (Dr Whiteford) was absolutely right to mention that disabled people are twice as likely as non-disabled people to live in poverty. The figure increased by 2%, or 300,000 last year; those measures will definitely impact on disabled people living in poverty.
Jessica Morden: My hon. Friend mentioned the cut to the work allowance in universal credit. Has she seen the research by Liverpool Economics that shows that disabled people in work could lose up to £2,000 a year, making them one of the hardest-hit groups?
Debbie Abrahams: I have seen that analysis. My hon. Friend makes a vital point. I know that that area is not the Minister's responsibility, but we must try to get the Government to think again. That change will result in the same cuts as those that the Government reversed to tax credits; the process will just be slowed down slightly.
I want to get back to what happened with Remploy. The coalition Government closed 48 Remploy factories, and a total of 2,000 disabled people—including Margaret—were made redundant. Of those former workers, 691 were given the Government's work-related activity support, 830 received jobseeker's allowance, and we just do not know what happened to 470.
In addition to what has been said about Work Choice and the effectiveness of the Work programme, we must not forget Access to Work, which some people have mentioned. Of the 4 million disabled people in work, Access to Work is currently supporting only 36,800. If we are really serious about halving the disability employment gap, which is a noble target, that is totally inadequate. I know that the Government stated in the spending review that there will be a real-terms increase in spending on Access to Work, but what is the money? Nobody has said. Will it be a smaller chunk for more people? The Government need to be very clear on that.
The hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon) has mentioned the specialist advice and support in Jobcentre Plus. There used to be only one adviser for 600 disabled people, but that has gone down further. I commend the Minister for what he is doing about the Disability Confident scheme. He is doing his very best on that, but across the country there are only 79 active members—79 employers—33 of which are disabled charities. We will not meet the target of reducing the 30% disability gap—it is 34% in my constituency—with such low take-up. To echo the language that has been used, it is absolutely vindictive to take money from disabled people who do not have the opportunities, support or resources to enable them to take up a job. It is quite perverse.
I am coming to the end of my time, but I would like to know from the Minister what is planned for Access to Work. Will he also undertake to investigate the position of the people who were made redundant when Remploy closed? Clearly, the situation is not good enough. Will he also look at the perverse position that we are in now, where we are making cuts to support for disabled people before we have work for disabled people to get into and support for employers?

Football player Earnest Byner will forever be linked with The Fumble. What is The Fumble? Any rabid NFL fan will tell you that it was the turning point of the AFC Championship game between the Cleveland Browns and the Denver Broncos on January 17, 1988 at Denver's Mile High Stadium.
With 1:12 left in the game, running back Byner appeared to be on his way to scoring the game-tying touchdown, but was stripped of the ball by Broncos defensive back Jeremiah Castille, and fumbled at the 3-yard line. Denver recovered the fumble and Cleveland ended up losing 38-33, another heartbreaking defeat for a city renowned for them.
Byner went on to have an outstanding NFL career that included a Super Bowl championship with the Washington Redskins. At the time of his retirement in 1997, Byner ranked within the NFL's top 30 all-time leaders in rushing attempts, rushing touchdowns, rushing yards and total yards.
Why am I writing about football? Because of the way Byner handled his notoriety. He was devastated at first but eventually came to see the value of such a public, humiliating failure. On the August 27, 2009 edition of the nationally syndicated Jim Rome Show, Byner said:
It was really a spiritual thing that I had to go through to kind of forgive myself for not being successful in that particular instance in my life. The reality is, it stuck with me probably about three, four years. And the thing that was most difficult, I didn't handle it the way I should have handled it. I let other people paint a picture of me and how that should have affected me. Guys were telling jokes, I was the butt of jokes on talk shows and all that kind of stuff. And finally, I just had to say, hey, that was one play in my career, it was a tough situation, I learned from it and I was able to go on and use it as impetus to go on and become a champion with Washington.
But the reality is, that play helped me to be a better person, a better coach, a better father, and gave me some empathy for other people who do not have the success that I have. And the other part of it is everybody screws up at some point, everybody's going to mess up, but you got to understand that you will fail at some point at something. You will fail. But you can't let the failure be the end result. Learn from the failure, grow form it, and actually use it to help someone else get past something that they're going through.
Obviously, you don't want to go through anything difficult. I mean, nobody's going to lie to you about that. Nobody wants pain and agony, because that's what I lived with for a while, was actually having that failure. But again, it built me up, gave me more character, gave me more perseverance. It helped me in the long run.
Wise words. We all can learn from Byner's example. Our greatest lessons are often embedded in our greatest pain. Every staggering loss we have endured has played a major role in shaping who we are. Pain and purpose walk hand in hand.
Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Phil's eBook, The Logic of Living a Spiritual Life: Supporting a Life of Faith Through Logic and Reason, is now available for 99 cents.
Order it at GodIsLogical.com.
In this eBook, you'll find answers to questions like:
• What is the cornerstone of a spiritual life, and why?
• What is the secret to liberating yourself from other people's judgments and expectations?
• How do you reconcile the "free will vs. Divine Will" conundrum?
• Why is there an exception to "Everything happens for a reason"?
Those who worship logic instead of God are only half right. Not only is it logical to believe in God and to live a faith-based life, the existence of a loving, benevolent God that governs all creation is perhaps the only systematic worldview that explains every aspect of life.
Phil is also the author of Sixty Seconds: One Moment Changes Everything, a collection of 45 inspiring, life-changing stories from prominent authors and thought leaders he interviewed. The roster of storytellers includes Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, Caroline Myss, Larry Dossey, Rachel Naomi Remen, Bernie Siegel, Dean Ornish, and Christiane Northrup. Sixty Seconds has been translated into four languages: Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Reading this book is like spending a few minutes face to face with each of the contributors and listening to their personal stories.

Anyway, I'm sorry today is a super short post, however I am here to tell you that I will infact be doing blogmas this year and succesfully too – I've been planning posts and some are already scheduled! Very exciting and organised I know!

That is all!

Broker Review: Cheap Commissions and Great Trading Tools - So Far Super Impressed!
You can virtual trade at optionhouse.com by simply opening an account, and logging in -then you're ready for virtual trading!
Below is a screen shot of the different tools they offer (click image to enlarge):
All of the investigator tools are great! It will actually save me a ton of time to use these investigator tools. For example the covered call investigator allows me to get a general annual earnings return, based on current percentages. So as the screen shot shows below, I could purchase FAZ and sell the August 57 for a potential bid of 8.80 a share (bid and ask prices split in the middle) or $880 per contract. It calculates the potential annual return and the downside protection for that as well (click image to enlarge).
Not to mention they have a really cool probability calculator for options. I wanted to see what the current probability was for the S&P 500 to close above 900 for the July option expiration (Saturday July 19, 2009). It returns much more than that. Check out the probability screen shot below (click on image to enlarge).
As you can see all I had to do was put in the symbol, put in values for low target price and high target price (leaving all other fields as defaults), and the probability for finishing below the lower target, finishing between the two targets, and finishing above the higher target was calculated almost instantaneously.
I must say I am very impressed with this trading platform!

many thanks

The potential price which is split is the same thing as the theoretical value, which has a lot to do with the liquidity of the option contract. Overall I am very impressed with it.

Splitting the bid ask spread works well on high priced options. But, if the option is cheap -- as in really wide condors on the indices -- The market makers are really tight and will ignore you for 5 cents.
But most of the time if you aren't a pig, the order will execute before you get to order status from the trade window
Another neat feature is clicking the option price to enter the option in the order ticket.
And they keep a record of how many of each options you hold when you go to the options chain window.
And, in the go pro options chains, all the greeks are shown.
One missing element is time value as you can get from the Money Central site and last sale which is avail from either money central or yahoo

As of March 24, 2010, is the commission at OptionsHouse still $9.95 per ticket irrespective of the number of options on the ticket ?
Do they allow All or None Trades ?

Could this be the first bank domino to fall in the crumbling of the European and then the world financial markets … allowing NESARA to be ushered in?
The article appears in an Italian Language newspaper. I have used Google translator here to re post the article. Below the article you will see the translated version of the letter from the bank to its customers. The last article was published on the Adiconsum website.

Network Bank stopped payments, customers furious
Lettera 43, June 4, 2012
Stop the transaction until July for the crisis of the institution.
Network Investment Bank has suspended payments, causing great inconvenience to customers.
The institute, in receivership since last November, announced that on May 31, the commissioners, "with the approval of the Monitoring Committee and with the approval of the Bank of Italy, have decided to suspend the payment of liabilities of any kind 'for a month.
The stop, communicated through the website of the bank, does not include client financial instruments. It was emphasized that "the measure was needed to tackle the difficult situation of the bank.
Angry depositors.
To the rescue – in the few lines we read online – have stepped forward and the group Sim Consultinvest Savings Bank of Ravenna, but in the meantime, depositors are furious . For all spoke Massimo, police in Milan with his wife and two daughters in Messina: "Nobody told me anything and today (June 4), when I went to pay the mechanic, the ATM was not working. Even the credit can do. ' MI HAVE REMOVED THE MONEY." "Actually," he added, "I have taken my money. In the book I have only 20 euros in cash and the escrow account where the salary is credited to me, how do I make ends meet? ". And to think that Bank Investment Network has as shareholders the names of the first floor of the financial world: Aviva Banco Popular De Agostini and Sopaf.
"GUESTS OF PERSONS FINANCIALLY ADVANCED." The customers of Bank Network, financial sources have noted, is composed largely of the "financially sophisticated individuals" able to understand the situation and wait for the definition plan of action by the group and Sim Consultinvest Savings Bank announced the release of Ravenna as special commissioners.
Suspension of Payments:Letter from BNI to its Customers

THE PRESS May 31, 2012

Credit – NO LEVIES – PAYMENTS OF BNI for account holders
BNI depositors unable to make withdrawals / payments, payments of utility bills, mortgage payments, taxes
Thursday, June 7, 2012
Peter Giordano, Adiconsum: "Grave of the Bank of Italy's attitude that takes action without considering the impact on depositors, and especially on single-income families and pensioners"
Adiconsum Bank of Italy asks for an urgent meeting and the lifting of the Block.
The Bank of Italy authorized the suspension of payments by Bank Network Investments SpA (BNI) without communicating anything to the depositors.
Very serious and unacceptable – says Peter Jordan, Secretary General Adiconsum – the attitude of the Bank of Italy SpA in each BNI, because highly prejudicial to the interests of customers.
Bank of Italy, in fact, after extending the receivership of the bank, thus giving the impression of an imminent rescue, then gave the green light for compulsory winding up, without giving any prior notice to the depositors, leaving them in no condition to perform any type of operation, even basic ones for daily survival, such as withdrawals / payments, utilities payments, rates, taxes.
We must unfortunately note that offensive measures as those adopted to customers BNI – Giordano complaint – not an isolated case. Decisions without taking into account the heavy impact, particularly on savers in possession of a single bank account on which accrediting salary or pension, are not new to Bank of Italy, and also affected depositors of Banca MB.
The attitude of the Bank of Italy – Jordan continues – is bureaucratic and deed and as Adiconsum we asked in a letter sent to the Bank of Italy and the lifting of the BNI and an urgent meeting to define the way in which customers, especially Fixed-income families and pensioners, can perform normal daily operations.

I can't leave it this way – no understanding
And no good reason to walk away now
So tell me something that hurts – something to swallow
I can't get over shit you're scared to say
You've been tipping your hand, it's time to lay them down
Don't make me be the one to spell the whole thing out
You're the Nubian princess. I'm your white boy shame
I could barely believe it when I heard you say,
"Boy, don't take that tone with me. Go try that with those girls you see.
'Round the way, like I don't know. You still want some reasons?
Not your color, not your creed. Your disrespect, your vanity.
Not your culture, your conceit. You still want some reasons why?"
If you wanted to be something deeper with me
Under all of our skin, my brother
If you wanted to feel something simple and real
You could be in this skin, my brother
You play the kingpin. Pimping like the real thing
And then accuse me of seeing you in colors?
Time to show you the door, my brother
Think you figured me out? I think I'm just like you.
Teasing, tasting the space between the streets we knew.
You're the ebony Capulet but Romeo's
Not forbidden enough to open up that rose.
"Boy you listen like you fuck. Something goes in but no connection.
Always come but never there. You still want some reasons?
Not your color, not your creed. Your disrespect, your vanity.
Not your culture, your conceit. You still want some reasons why?
One last first time. Tell a sister something true. Did you love the girl or the ghetto?"
No sense lying. Everything was never enough. My love is just like my hustle.
"Look, my brother. Can't you see what's going on? Don't confuse your crush with my culture"
Feels like real now. Even if it's something that hurts. I got the game to get over.

Global Health Policy Fellows Bring Expertise from Ethiopia and India
Published December 18, 2017 under Research News
The Center for Policy Impact in Global Health (CPIGH), based in the Duke Global Health Institute (DGHI), is currently hosting two global health policy fellows, Addis Kassahun Mulat and Daniel Victor. During their fellowships, Mulat and Victor are conducting their own research studies, contributing to CPIGH research, participating in policy outreach activities and taking classes at Duke.
The Center for Policy Impact in Global Health is a policy lab that addresses critical challenges in financing and delivering global health in collaboration with the Duke Center for International Development and the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy. The Center also works with external partners, including other higher education institutions, NGOs, international financing institutions, and health and finance ministries and think tanks in Ethiopia and India.
The three- to five-month fellowship, funded through a small family foundation, is offered to early- or mid-career professionals from low- or middle-income countries, with priority given to applicants from CPIGH's partner countries (Ethiopia and India). Fellows gain experience in policy analysis, quantitative and qualitative global health policy research, communicating the findings of the Center's research with policy makers and writing policy briefs and scientific research papers.
The goal of the fellowship, says Gavin Yamey, CPIGH director and professor of global health and public policy, is to give the fellows time away from their regular jobs to acquire new skills, conduct new research and make professional connections that will ultimately help them build on the work they're doing in their home country.
"But we're also learning as much from Addis and Daniel as they're learning from us," said Yamey. "The Center has projects in partnership with state governments in India and the federal government in Ethiopia, and having fellows from these countries who have national expertise in addressing the countries' health challenges is an enormous asset for us."
Addis Kassahun Mulat
Addis Mulat, who hails from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has spent the past 25 years in different program and leadership roles in various public health organizations in Ethiopia and Tanzania, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; the World Bank-funded regional capacity-building network for HIV prevention, care and treatment (ARCAN) project; UNAIDS; and USAID.
While pursuing his PhD in management through Bulacan State University of the Philippines, Mulat was working on a USAID-funded prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission project. In 2011, he left this position to establish Kilimanjaro Consulting, a firm that provides technical assistance, operations and research support to public health organizations and private sector businesses.
The firm works primarily with organizations in Ethiopia, but Mulat's vision is to expand its reach to other countries in Africa and Europe, as well as to the United States. Currently he oversees a small team of consultants. The firm has provided program evaluation and baseline studies for Care Ethiopia, Care Ethiopia/International, Save the Children, Johnson & Johnson and Seek Development Consultancy, to name just a few.
During his fellowship, Mulat is leading a research project at CPIGH that focuses on health financing in low- and middle-income countries. Specifically, he's conducting a retrospective and prospective policy analysis of a pilot program in Ethiopia to implement community-based health insurance and social health insurance schemes with the goal of providing insurance coverage to 80 percent of the districts and 80 percent of the population by 2020.
"This research will help us identify some of the challenges and opportunities of the program and help policy makers figure out how to navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities for nationwide scale-up of the schemes," Mulat said.
Mulat's primary motivation to pursue the fellowship was to continue building an international network to advance and broaden the work of his consulting firm. "Although it's only a brief experience, I think the work I'm doing, the classes I'm taking and the people I'm meeting through this fellowship will help me realize my vision to transform Kilimanjaro Consulting into a more regional and global network," he said, "and I'm grateful to the donor and the Duke Global Health Institute for these opportunities."
Daniel Victor
With an undergraduate degree in fishery sciences and master's degrees in fishery microbiology, Daniel Victor, who lives in Karnataka, India, may seem like an unlikely candidate for a global health policy fellow. But Victor believes that circulating in different professional spheres fosters fresh perspectives, and his path has ultimately led him to the health sector.
He began his career in biotechnology policy development for the government of Karnataka; after about six years, he transitioned to tax policy analysis in the finance department. Next up for Victor was the health sector, where he led the financing aspects of a national health program and assisted with a World Bank-funded health systems development and reforms project, followed by another stint in the finance department, this time managing Karnataka's budget. Currently Victor is back in the health sector, serving as the financial adviser of Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, the second largest cancer hospital in the country.
"The health sector is close to my heart," he said. "I wanted to work at the cancer center because a few of my family members have had this terrible disease. That experience prompted me to think about the gaps in cancer care between people with resources and those without."
As a CPIGH fellow, Victor is studying the implementation of the program he helped roll out in 2010: the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, CVD and Stroke. Specifically, he's looking at the challenges different stakeholders—policy makers, implementers and community partners—have faced and whether resources have been maximized and strategically aligned with the high burden of non-communicable disease in India.
Victor was drawn to the fellowship to sharpen his skills and gain some formal training in the health policy sector, but he also recognizes that his vast experience in the Indian government adds value to the Center's work. "I can't represent the entire country," he said, "but I can offer unique perspectives and a nuanced understanding of India's health sector based on my direct work experience in the system."
Mulat and Victor will be working with Yamey at CPIGH through January.

Pamala Anderson, 49, was seen leaving the Ecuadorian Embassy in London after visiting the controversial WikiLeaks mastermind on Thursday. Assange claimed political asylum at the embassy since 2012 in order to avoid facing extradition to Sweden over a rape allegation he has long refuted. Assange has said he fears being sent to the U.S. to face espionage charges in relation to WikiLeaks..Andersons frequent visits to the embassy over the past year has lead others to believe that they're a couple. The Actress was wearing a tight black turtleneck and a matching pencil skirt.
The visit comes after Anderson addressed her relationship with Assange in a lengthy post on her website, writing that he is "one of my favorite people."
"I am getting more involved with The Courage foundation who helps to defend whistleblowers ...like Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange," she wrote on Thursday. "My relationship with Julian It's no secret, He is one of my favorite people- and he might be the most famous, most politicized refugee of our time. Famous for being persecuted. Famous for being persecuted is not a position of power but a position of vulnerability. I am concerned."
She continued: "He is the strongest person I know-but, living as he is, is very unhealthy, demeaning and inhumane. Julian is trying to free the world by educating it. It is a romantic struggle-I love him for this-"
She also previously admitted that she thinks Assange is "quite sexy."
"Julian Assange is the most intelligent, interesting, and informed man in existence," she wrote on her website. "He has tremendous strength and stamina- though vulnerable. Hard to imagine him that way as capable as he is."
But in a post on March 22, she referred to Assange as simply a "dear friend.""Mr Assange and I, have become very dear friends over time.
That's all I'm really comfortable saying...," she said. "Of course this is not an ideal situation It's not indicative of any rational relationship. I wouldn't know what that is anyway. Faith has been lost in modern romance."
Anderson said of Assange in a statement in December. "One day everyone will realize. But until now, this man has missed 7 Christmases with his children and is kept in difficult and tremendously stressful conditions-while doing us all a great service. Everyone in the world has benefited because of WikiLeaks - he has sacrificed so much - to simply share the truth."

Have you ever driven your vehicle and felt like you had to correct the steering to continue to go in the direction you intended? Most likely, the answer is yes. This may have occurred if you drove over a bumpy dirt road or other rough terrain. It may have occurred if two wheels were on one surface, such as a road, and the other two wheels were on another surface, such as a soft shoulder, or when there was a transition between two surfaces. Drivers of power wheelchairs also may experience circumstances when correction of the steering is required. This month, Clinical Corner will focus on technical solutions to address steer correction in power mobility.
