Bodies of dozens of Palestinians were pulled from the ruins of bombed-out homes in Gaza Saturday during a brief Humanitarian truce, taking the death toll of the offensive to nearly 1000.
More than halfway into a 12-hour ceasefire that began early Saturday, medics said 85 bodies had been retrieved from buildings ground into rubble across the Gaza Strip, pushing the death toll to 985 Palestinians killed in the besieged strip to 985.
On the ground in Gaza, ambulances sped along roads to neighborhoods that have been too dangerous to enter for days.
Earlier on Saturday, a 12-hour humanitarian ceasefire came into effect in the Gaza strip.
The Zionist entity and the Palestinian resistance said they would observe the temporary ceasefire, at 0500 GMT, after US Secretary of State John Kerry was unable to reach a lasting truce during talks Friday in Cairo.
In the hours leading up to the pause, however, the violence continued, with Israeli air strikes killing 23 people, among them four children and a paramedic, Gaza medical services said.
An Israeli air strike in southern Gaza killed 16 members of a single family, hours ahead of a 12-hour humanitarian ceasefire, medics said.
The strike slammed into a home in the southern city of Khan Yunis, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said, killing 16 members of the Najjar family, including women and children.
The first strike of Saturday killed an on-duty paramedic in Khan Yunis, Qudra added.
The diplomatic push for a lasting truce is to resume from 0900 GMT on Saturday, when the foreign ministers of key players in the conflict are to gather for talks in Paris, including Kerry.
On Friday, the top US diplomat said in Cairo that both Tel Aviv and the resistance "still have some terminology" to agree to on a ceasefire, but added they had "fundamental framework" on a truce.
Under the proposal, once a humanitarian lull takes hold, delegations from the Israeli regime and the resistance would arrive in Cairo -- which has mediated past conflicts between the two sides -- for indirect talks that could lead to a lasting deal.

Due to COVID-19 we are experiencing delays in shipping both pre-made and custom orders. Please expect several business days in shipping delays. Thank you for your understanding during this time. MORE INFO
*To view mat color, hover over the "+" to the left of the color/item description.
Our acid-free black core mat board is a 4-ply paper mat that provides the aesthetic and design benefits you need for your prints, photos, and any DIY projects you have. Each mat board has a 45 degree bevel edge and a richly colored white or black front surface with a black core.
Mat boards are great for matting your art, prints, or documents, and giving it a finished and professional look. Each opening size is half an inch smaller (covers only .25" on each side of your artwork) so that your picture size does not fall through.
Here are some ideas for using our mat boards:
- Draw on the mat board, making this mat board even more versatile.
- Use it for photo booth props. Decorate the mat for weddings, birthdays, graduation, etc. You can personalize it and use it to take pictures.
- Write on the mat for events or in the home. Use it for signatures or small notes, you decide.
- Use the mats as a poster. Simply put a picture of the honoree, then add some decor around the mat and there you have it, a poster!

In late January of 2011 the NY Times published an article entitled "Record Level of Stress Found in College Freshmen". They cite a number of factors including more pressure to perform in the later years of high school as well as the state of the economy. The study involved responses from more than 200,000 incoming freshmen at four-year colleges. Also, it is interesting to note that in the article campus counselors echo what is being shown in the survey. They are seeing more and more depressed students with high anxiety levels and a large majority of these students are entering college already using psychiatric medication. Overcoming anxiety levels require strategies that are touched upon later in this article.
The study mentions that not only is the economy stressing out the parents who may have either lost their jobs or have had to take salary reductions, but the students are concerned about their own college debt and prospects for getting a job when they graduate.
In the NY Times article, Brian Van Brunt, director of counseling at Western Kentucky University and president of the American College Counseling Association had this to say about the emotional state of college freshmen.
"More students are arriving on campus with problems, needing support, and today's economic factors are putting a lot of extra stress on college students, as they look at their loans and wonder if there will be a career waiting for them on the other side."
At Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, the Director of the Counseling Service and Wellness Program Bernie Hershberger had this to say about stress and students in a recent article in the school newspaper, the Bowdoin Orient.
"The overriding thing that we deal with, with students, is more anxiety-related conditions. Stress and anxiety easily consume about 60 percent of issues and concerns that we help students with."
To be perfectly frank, it doesn't surprise me at all. As a parent of a high school sophomore and a college sophomore, I have certainly witnessed the levels of stress and pressure facing, in particular, high-achieving high school students. My high school daughter's schedule includes seven courses per semester and most of them are honors courses. The amount of work that is heaped on her is alarming, her organizational skills have to be impeccable, and her time is extremely limited. So it is not at all surprising to me that incoming freshmen are experiencing high levels of anxiety. It is simply a continuation of their high school pressures that are now transformed into a college setting.
So what can be done for overcoming anxiety levels seen in college students?
Raise Awareness
At Bowdoin College a campus club called Active Minds was formed in hopes of combating social stigmas about mental health. The idea is to raise awareness about mental health by inviting mental health professionals to the campus to address students about such issues. Simply the act of addressing the issue is valuable to students who are facing a different kind of emotional pressure in the college setting.
High caffeine intake is prevalent in college students. Caffeine can come in many forms including coffee, hot chocolate, tea, and the all-too popular energy drinks that have seemed to explode onto the scene in recent years. There has even been an influx of alcoholic caffeinated drinks on campuses, such as Four Loko, that are now being banned by the Food and Drug Administration. Excessive levels of caffeine can add to the already stressed psyche of the college student. In recent years colleges have begun to focus on the quality of the meals that they are serving to their students.
The quality of the dining experience is clearly becoming a factor when a prospective student has to decide between comparable colleges. The Princeton Review, a website that is known for helping students prepare for standardized tests also ranks colleges, in their college guide, based on various metrics. One of those metrics is "Best Campus Food" and Bowdoin College in Maine ranked #1 for 2010 in this category. Scott Meikeljohn, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at Bowdoin, in a recent article admits that a high-ranking gives their school a competitive advantage over other colleges in their class.
"If so many people do a college search on 'top 10', then it's great we're showing up. We don't promote [rankings], but we do benefit from them."
Mary Kennedy, Director of Dining and Bookstore Services at Bowdoin, points to the quality of the campus food at Bowdoin as being an important factor when it comes to the well-being of the students.
"Dining is an integral part of the residential experience of the campus and we feel respected and supported by the Bowdoin community," she said. "It's important to me that the food and the atmosphere in Dining contributes to students' health and well-being so that they can do their best academically."
College Prowler, a website geared at reviewing and comparing different colleges, ranks Campus Dining as one of the all-important metrics that matter to students. The quality of the meals that a college student eats on a regular basis can be a big factor when it comes to influencing anxiety levels.
Working out regularly is one of the best ways to lower stress levels in college students. Students should take advantage of the facilities that the college has to offer. Yoga, aerobic, and step classes all can be used effectively to combat the stress that college students face on a regular basis. Adding a class or a workout session to your daily calendar, much like an added course but without the stress, will make it part of your daily routine.
Get Involved
Student clubs are on the rise on college campuses. There are clubs ranging from intramural sports to drama clubs to clubs promoting green living. Colby College, another Maine Liberal Arts college boasts an Environmental Studies Club and an Organic Gardening Club. Bates College in Maine advertises that the college has 110 recognized organizations formed by students which allow Batesies to pursue interests with other like-minded students. Getting involved in clubs is a way for the student to feel part of the college community by meeting new friends and thereby reducing anxiety levels. And, at the same time, they are adding to their emotional well-being. Taking part in the student experience is one big step in the right direction for anyone entering the college scene for the first time.
Stay connected
One important stress factor for college students, especially new students, is being separated from their comfort zone which is their home and family for the first time. If you are a parent, one simple way to stay connected with your child is to utilize the fairly recent method of communication called texting. I understand that texting is not everyone's cup of tea, particularly older parents, but it is one of the better methods of communication with your college student. Why? It's more indirect than a phone call. Your son or daughter can respond immediately or later. But the comforting aspect to the parent is that there is a sense that the student will immediately receive the text. Unlike email which may have a time lag between when the parent sends the email to when the student accesses their email account.
Another great aspect about texting is that the student can receive and respond to a text at the library, a
rehearsal, in the dining hall, studying in a student center, or in a meeting without annoying anyone around them. I've learned to appreciate texting and I'm actually surprised I'm saying that. Staying connected with your college student via texting is mutually beneficial and helps to alleviate separation anxiety in both the parent and the student.
Anxiety levels are a very real concern for college students and overcoming anxiety should be a priority. Leaving a rigorous high school pressure-filled environment and entering a foreign college campus setting can be trying to the new college student. Their organizational skills are lacking and they are trying to fit into a totally foreign environment. Taking the proper precautions to alleviate the stress seen in college students can only lead to a happier, healthier, and wiser educational experience.

This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What is Radiofrequency Rhizotomy?
This procedure involves intentionally destroying nerves in the human body. Sometimes, the nerves may start transmitting signals that are unnecessarily painful for the person. The decision to destroy nerves is made after a careful analysis by a qualified professional. Success is measured by reduced pain for the patient.
The diagnosis for painful nerves involves making a careful identity of which nerve is causing pain. This can usually be achieved by the use of an MRI. However, this may not always be possible especially if there is nothing that can be physically seen to cause pain.
In such a case, advanced techniques are used. One of the most common is nerve blocking. This will involve medication being injected around the nerve root. If it is the one causing pain, the patient should notice pain disappear temporarily. Once the medication wears off, the pain returns.
The diagnosis may involve a discogram. In such an instance, a fluid is injected into the spinal disc using x-ray guidance. If the area is healthy, only a bit of pain is experienced. However, if the area is excessively affected, the patient will feel pain. The diagnosis is only performed for people who have failed to respond to other noninvasive techniques such as creams.
Using x-ray, the doctor will guide a thin needle to the area identified as being the cause of pain. A contrast solution is applied to help make it clear which nerve is in need of removal. The solution highlights this nerve quite clearly. Light electrical stimulation may be applied to the nerve causing light muscle contraction.
The doctor then proceeds to apply a numbing agent on the particular nerve. After he is sure the patient cannot feel anything, he uses an electrode to burn off the base of the nerve. The operation mainly takes place in the lower back, where nerve problems mainly originate. The entire procedure will normally take about an hour and a half.

Johann Gudmundsson admits the Clarets produced their worst performance of the season in losing to West Bromwich Albion and is looking for a positive response against Manchester City on Saturday.
In a repeat of their last trip to the Hawthorns two years ago, Burnley were beaten 4-0 on their bogey ground to leave Sean Dyche's men without an away win this season.
The Clarets – who haven't won a league game at the Baggies since 1969 – were 2-0 down after 16 minutes and 3-0 behind at the break as West Brom ruthlessly wrapped up their second home win of the campaign on Monday night.
And Gudmundsson acknowledged that Burnley's first-half showing had cost them any chance of building on their three-match unbeaten run.
The Iceland international said: "We didn't play well enough, especially in the first half. Everything was too slow and when we lost the ball they seemed to score when they wanted.
"It was definitely not good enough from us.
"They had their shape and that's how they like to play and we didn't ask enough questions of them.
"When we lost the ball they just counter-attacked, got two goals very quickly and then the third goal killed the game.
"It was a tough first half. The second half was a little bit better but it was just way too late."
Third-placed City are next up for the Clarets for another televised fixture at Turf Moor on Saturday lunch-time.
And Gudmundsson is expecting better from a side that has won four home games already this term and beat City 1-0 on their last visit in March, 2015.
"We need to pick ourselves up. It's a massive game next weekend and hopefully we can get some points from that," the winger added.
"This was definitely our worst game of the season. It's tough to take but this is football and we have to keep going.
"We also need to learn from our mistakes. We know what we did wrong and we just need to fix that and hopefully we will be all right next weekend.
"They are a fantastic team. But we have shown against good teams we can play really well, so we will do that next weekend, definitely."

This episode and season finale was KILLER!!!!
3 out of 5 ain't bad.
I initially said that Tigh, Gaeta, Dee, Sam, Tyrol were cylon's. Turns out that it's Tigh, Kara, Sam, Tyrol and Tory. Kara returns and knows where earth is. I knew she was going to come back. I knew the first person to lay eyes on her was going to be Lee Adama. I DID NOT expect her to say she had info about Earth.
Let me start from the beginning.
Laura and Will have a very cute phone conversation at the beginning of the episode. I love them together. They bring a stabilizing effect when they interact.
Baltar goes free and is "Not Guilty". *rolls eyes*
Colonel Tigh has one eye and he could see that coming.
Hippy sitar music brings 4 of the 5 mystery cylons together. Their reactions to the news is very tempered and mature. I think Troy will be the first to die.
Starbuck returns!!!! SHE IS NOT DEADish. We are to assume that she is a cylon. Not only that, she's calm, relaxed and knows where Earth is. If she knows, do the other cylons know?
I am VERY AFRAID of the show going to Earth. I didn't watch the crappy 80's debacle but I heard it was very painful to watch.
We have to wait until 2008 for the next episode. DAMN YOU RON MOORE!!!!
I mean... I LOVE YOU RON MOORE!!!
I mean...
My theory.....
I think the cylons that have been hunting the "humans" were looking for "the five cylons" all along. Maybe they were hunting "the five cylons" down so that they couldn't help the "humans" find Earth.
Or.... that everyone on the ship is a cylon and this is some bizarre experiment. That theory would piss me off.

Listening To This Story Of A Mexican Immigrant Dad Securing His Son's Future Will Make You Ugly Cry With Joy
"Your mom and I will do whatever needs to be done."
In 1942, 6-year-old Francisco Preciado's family moved from Mexico to the U.S. because of the Bracero program. Preciado grew up wanting to be a teacher, but financial obligations forced him to drop out of college. He ended up being a groundskeeper at Stanford University. But having to give up on his dream forced Preciado to make sure that the same thing didn't happen to his son, Frankie. Many years later, Frankie ended up graduating from Stanford, the very same school whose lawns were manicured by his father. Unsurprisingly, his dad was a huge reason why.
The Preciados' beautiful story was recorded by StoryCorps. You can listen to the whole thing above. We dare you to listen and not cry.

- Lovely... Just lovely...
- Fits well and just lovely.
- Versatile garment
- I'm glad I purchased this lovely substantial long-sleeve T. On my computer screen it appeared navy blue rather than black, and I would have preferred that. However: I like it with the black background as advertised. Had it been navy blue, I would have given it 5 stars.
- Really good quality./ SEnd me a new catalog!!!!
- Loved all the stuff and the sizes were good! I'm a happy customer.
- Love it.
- Love this shirt.
- gorgeous
- beautiful top, extremely comfy, true to size. colors weren't as bright as the catalog photo
- Stylish
- The top is a heavier fabric and is good for fall and winter wear. It is more form sitting and not relaxed like some t-shirt type tops. I would recommend this stylish top. I had wanted the green but it was not available. If you like black this is perfect.
- Work of Art
- The patterns on the body and arma are so well done, you are wearing art. The fabric is soothing and comfortable, too!

There's more activity on the predatory journal front. A large investigation reported recently that the number of papers put out by the five largest publishers in this category has tripled since 2015, so there's clearly an expanding market for such "services". Among the elite (by which I mean the top layer of this pond scum) are the Omics group and WASET, both of whose activities I have covered in past blogs here. Those links will give you a good idea of their operations: they're scams. No one should give them money, which is the same thing as saying that no one should be publishing with them, because they sure won't publish a word until your funds deposit. As usual, the problem is that there are indeed legitimate (and more than merely legitimate) open-access publishers that will charge you to publish your paper, too. The difference is that the legitimate ones actually do review and editorial work, funded by those charges, as opposed to the predatory outfits. Their model is publishing every single piece of crap that comes in accompanied by hard currency, and spending not one penny on quality control of any sort, because why would you?
Now the government of India has announced that it's cracking down on such publications in that country, news that comes not long after word of far-reaching science oversight in China. Universities are to remove the predatory publishers from their approved lists, so that papers with them don't count for promotion, etc. Of course, one reason we got to this point was that India's system (the "Academic Performance Indicator") is basically set up to weigh scientific publications by the kilo (a problem China has had, too). You'd hope that this would start to improve things, but I wonder. One possibility is that the publishers themselves will change names/letterheads/putative locations just enough to stay ahead of the Indian bureaucracy, and from what I've heard from my Indian colleagues over the years, staying ahead of the Indian bureaucracy is generally not something that will cause you to break into much of a sweat.
This outcome seems likely to me based on what's happened already: the country's University Grants Commission already put out a "white list" of approved journals in 2017, but it had many predatory outfits on it. Their excuse has been that these were recommended by several universities, and that they only realized later that they were problematic, removing thousands of titles a few months ago. That's not much of an excuse, honestly – how can you be in charge of putting together such a list and not notice this sort of thing? There also seem to be few consequences for publishing in these venues, so it look like (1) the incentives to crank out such papers will still exist, since they're still evaluating based on number of publications, (2) the disincentives will be minimal, since you're not punished in any way for this behavior other than your "papers" not counting if you send them to a title that's on the current list, and (3) the predatory publishers themselves have every reason to get around this for their own purposes. After all, this is a large customer base and they're not going to say goodbye to them without a fight.
So I applaud the Indian authorities for realizing that there's a problem and at least attempting to do something about it. But they shouldn't expect too much applause until they demonstrate that what they're doing has some effect. It shouldn't be too long before we know.

Hanon Systems to Support Kia Motors with New Plant in Mexico
Hanon Systems, a leading global provider of thermal solutions, plans to start production at a new plant in Monterrey, Mexico, to support the company's growth strategy in support of global vehicle manufacturers.
The new manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Climate Systems Mexicana, S.A. de C.V., is located in the northeastern state of Nuevo Leóno, and will manufacture heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units and cooling modules for various new Kia models.
The facility has nearly 8,300 square meters (approximately 89,000 square feet) of manufacturing space that incorporates standardized global manufacturing and business processes, and has room for expansion to address future business needs.
"We are pleased to grow alongside Kia Motors in Mexico, and further expand the Hanon Systems global footprint in this important region," said In-Young Lee, Hanon Systems president and CEO. "Expanding into Monterrey strategically enables Hanon Systems to support vehicle manufacturers from virtually anywhere in Mexico."
With the addition of the Monterrey facility, Hanon Systems has six wholly-owned manufacturing operations in Mexico – four in Ciudad Juárez, in northern Mexico; and one in Querétaro, central Mexico, which began production in September 2014.
Production in Monterrey is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2016.

Toilets are an inconvenient reminder that we're really just a bag of guts and liquids, built around a bony structure and clever nervous system, nourished by an in-one-end-out-the-other system of pipes.

Even the Queen and Lady Gaga go to the toilet. How very monkeysized.
Here in Posh London the whole business has been flushed away to little backrooms, scented and scrubbed out of sight and out of mind. In the less rich parts of the world, however, the whole business is tackled in a much more head-on fashion.

In short, poor people poo into a bag and then the bag, once buried, disintegrates. It's a response to the problems created by plastic-bag based toilet solutions.
In turn, I came across peepoople through Trendwatching's look at responses to a new range of third-world consumers with small amounts of cash and a desire to improve key aspects of their lives. This is something that many established firms in the richer world are struggling to do – the new consumers with the desire to buy new cars are more your Dacia/Tata Nano customers than your Audi A4 customers. Microfinance and the internet have their own part to play, too, of course.
But that's enough for now. Let's be thankful that somebody out there in the world has sat down, pondered, and come up with something that could help poor people deal with the problems associated with having a really good crap.

I'm back today to announce the winner of the Simon Says Stamp May 2014 Card Kit and also to share a couple of cards I made using the recent Mothers and Fathers release from Simon Says Stamp.
First the winner of the card kit is:
Dee in N.H. who said...
Great card! I love the controller and I know just the gamer to use this image for.
These dies are great as is but also lend themselves well to being altered. For my cards today I focused on the largest words in the dies, the 'DAD' and 'MOM', cutting them out to be used on their own.
For the second card I used one of the O's and M's from the Mom die as well as the A from the Dad die to spell Oma (which is dutch for Grandma and what my kids call my Mom). :)
I can't wait to play around with these dies some more to see what else I can come up with.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

We first heard about Married and Cheating last year, when Sarah Jessica Parker and Marissa Tomei were attached to star. It's taken a year or so for the rest of the cast to come together, but the project from writer/director Raymond De Felitta (City Island) is finally gaining traction. Variety reports Parker is still on board to star opposite Brendan Fraser, while Kiefer Sutherland and Eva Longoria are in talks to join the cast. The story follows three couples who deal with "infidelity, deceit, and confusion." There is still room in the three couples for another female lead, but since the report does not mention Tomei, I bet she moved on.
Felitta will shoot Married and Cheating this summer for Magnet Media. This is the first of six $10-$50 million productions financed through a $190 million fund set up by Magnet's German arm. Michael London, Lauren Versel, and Janice Williams are producing along with Magnet's Jeannette Buerling and Michelle Ohayon.

Against a recommendation by the town's Advisory Board, Princeton voters, by a vote of 87 to 48, at the May 15 annual town meeting approved a voluntary Regional Agreement Spending Assessment (RASA) of $433,550 above the required net minimum contribution the town is state mandated to spend for education.
That approval came after lengthy discussion. The Advisory Board opposed spending any more than last year's RASA amount of $376,632.
The RASA number and the funds for road reconstruction were the big-ticket items held out when voters were asked to approve the FY08 $7,781,330 budget.
Princeton's net minimum contribution increased by 3.5 percent over last year, from $3,578,486 to $3,713,470. The RASA increase is up 17.8 percent; long-term regional Wachusett Regional school debt up 218 percent from $52,406 to $166,963; regional transportation up 14.5 percent from $106,065 to $121,403, and Princeton's share of the capital program assessment, new this year for work being done at Paxton Center School, is $6,165.
The town's total assessment increase over last year is 8.2 percent, according to Town Administrator Dennis Rindone. Region-wide the school budget increase is 7.3 percent, he added.
Advisory Board Chairman Sheila Dubman said her board didn't approve the RASA increase for a reason.
"The school budget is growing in excess of seven percent each year," she said. "Town department's have kept admirably within the 2 1/2 percent cap. But the schools continue to grow and grow. In about 10 years Princeton will cease to exist because the money will all be going to the schools. That's the way it will play out unless we stop this runaway train.
"We have to accept all the things we can't change, but there is one line item in the budget we can do something about and that's RASA. We want that to remain constant at last year's number," she added.
Princeton WRSDC representative Kathleen Sweeney said the school number represented a "compromise budget."
"It's been worked out between town and school officials for a long time," she said. "It gives us a partial road program and gives the school some of what it wants."
Thompson Road resident Edith Morgan wanted to know what the Thomas Prince School would get as a result of the budget increase. "We already pay twice as much as Rutland. It's taxpayers' money," she said.
Princeton is one of five towns in the district, said Sweeney. "We need to look at the budget as part of a district," she said. Part of the money goes to the high school, which serves Princeton students, Sweeney noted.
"What's important is that we're growing faster than your revenue is growing," said School Superintendent Thomas Pandiscio. "We have to look at how schools are being funded in the first place. The state gives us calculations that tell us how much we need to spend on teachers. What the state has done is set up a structural conflict between towns and schools."
Pandiscio said the region would have to cut 157 teachers if the district funded at the foundation level set by the state. "If we stuck with the FY07 RASA number, the studentteacher ration would be 37.5 to one instead of 19.9 to one," he said. "The bottom line is the operations assessment grows out of the fact the state doesn't fund education properly."
Said Goodnow Road resident David Lowenthal: "Our Advisory Board is telling us we can't continue this or we'll go bankrupt. We can't assume the legislature will make a change. If schools continue to grow at seven percent we won't be able to sustain it."
Advisory Board member Jerry Gannelli wanted the RASA number to be voted on contingent on a Proposition 2 1/2 override. Selectmen removed the contingency wording on the town meeting floor.
"We're hearing we can do it this year because we're under the levy limit," said Gannelli. "But what about next year? … We all want to support education but not at the expense of infrastructure and other needs in Princeton. It's irresponsible to support education and not support overrides."
Select Board Chairman Alan Sentkowski said the town is not at the limit, but is very close to it. "Next year we'll be faced with a huge problem," he said.
It was the selectmen's decision not to make the RASA contingent on an override, said Sentkowski. "Because the other towns support the school budget we'd have to pay anyway. Next year we will have to go for an override," he said.
If Princeton and one more town were to reject the school budget it would have to go back to the school committee, argued Dubman. "We expect another half million could be cut without doing any damage. The part we can control, we must."
Princeton's other school committee representative, Robert Imber, urged voters to support the school committee's request. "We want to maintain the class sizes," he said.
"No matter what, next year is going to be tough and we'll face a disaster," said Main Street resident Judy Dino "but schools are my priority."
Because the Advisory Board didn't approve the RASA request, a paper ballot was required.

Governor Asa Hutchinson announces proposal for War Memorial Stadium
LITTLE ROCK – At a news conference Tuesday morning, Governor Asa Hutchinson laid out a proposal for the future viability and sustainability of Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium. The Governor's proposal would move War Memorial under the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism (ADPT). The proposed move will provide stability and access to resources that have previously been unavailable. In addition to the move, the Governor will have a feasibility study conducted on the prospects for the long-term future of the stadium.
The Department of Parks and Tourism currently oversees Arkansas's 52 State Parks and Museums. The Department also manages 180 historic properties and conducts more than 42,000 programs and events annually.
The proposal will be presented to the General Assembly during the 2017 legislative session.
Governor Asa Hutchinson issued the following statement:
"First of all, I want to thank Chairman Kevin Crass and the commission for the outstanding job they've done – and continue to do – for War Memorial Stadium and central Arkansas. From concerts and high school championships, to the 'Miracle on Markham', this venerable venue holds a special place with many Arkansans, especially our veterans, and has provided a lot of great memories along the way. In order to continue that success while maintaining the stadium's viability for future generations, I am proposing that War Memorial Stadium be moved under the direction of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism.
"Tourism is the second leading industry in Arkansas, and War Memorial Stadium has proven to be an important part of that industry – both culturally and economically. This move makes sense on a number of levels, but above all else, it will provide much needed stability while allowing access to Parks and Tourism's abundant resources, including staff and marketing.
"In addition, I am proposing a feasibility study on the prospects for the long-term future of the stadium. It always helps to get a fresh set of eyes on something that's so very familiar to so many of us."
Kane Webb, Director of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism, issued the following statement:
"I think it's a very good fit, and an exciting opportunity for our department. It's a natural in many ways. We have an administrative and operational support system that could be of great benefit for War Memorial. We speak the same language when it comes to operations such as resale, concessions, contract labor, ticket sales and other issues dealing with handling large and small groups of people.
"Not only can we provide War Memorial that kind of operational support, but we can aid in its marketing and promotional efforts.
"I also want to note the remarkable job that Kevin Crass, chairman of the WMS commission, and his commissioners have done with the stadium through a lot of hard work and creative thinking.
"This is an historic structure with a long, storied tradition; it's full of great memories for generations of Arkansans. It's important to note, too, perhaps most important, that it is the largest war memorial in the state dedicated to the servicemen and women who gave their lives fighting for this country."
Kevin Crass, Chairman of the War Memorial Stadium Commission, issued the following statement:
"I am grateful to the Governor for his efforts to create a solution to the challenges War Memorial Stadium faces. I look forward to working with Kane Webb and the Department of Parks and Tourism to determine ways we can work together to maintain and advance War Memorial Stadium. The people of Arkansas, especially the veterans and those who are memorialized, deserve nothing less."
Chris Bequette, a former Razorback football player and current member of the War Memorial Stadium Commission, issued the following statement:
"I believe Governor Hutchinson's proposal will help continue the success of War Memorial Stadium and put it on the path to eventually no longer requiring a subsidy from Arkansas taxpayers.
"Being part of a family that has played many games at War Memorial, as a former Razorback I always looked forward to playing at this venerable stadium. It was an incredible experience with a rich tradition, and I hope, because of this new opportunity under Parks and Tourism, future generations will get to experience that same atmosphere – on the field or in the stands."

Tennessee provides nursing students with a wide variety of nursing education opportunities, and just as many venues for employment. For those students seeking a doctoral program, Vanderbilt University in Nashville offers an MSN with almost twenty specialties, and they also provide a doctoral program and an MSN/MBA joint degree. The University of Tennessee in Knoxville also provides a PhD in nursing with a focus on scientific inquiry and theory development. They also provide students with the ability to earn a BSN and an MSN with a thesis or non-thesis option. The University of Tennessee in Memphis provides the BSN, an MSN with six specialties, and the choice between a PhD or the DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice). If you'd prefer to study in the Tennessee mountains, East Tennessee State University in Johnson City also provides the BSN, an MSN and provides a doctoral program as well. Beyond these advanced degrees, beginning nursing students can earn LPN and RN diplomas and associate degrees at a number of nursing programs located throughout the state.
Statewide, the average salaries for LPN, RN and specialty nurses range between $15,000 and $80,000 annually, depending upon degree earned, years in the field, expertise and size of the health facility. Many of the top employers in Tennessee are health care organizations, and a few of these businesses maintain nationwide and worldwide facilities. Baptist Health System of East Tennessee, located in Knoxville, is a charitable nonprofit organization made up of a number of facilities including Baptist Hospital of East Tennessee, Baptist Hospital West, Baptist Hospital for Women, Baptist Hospital of Cocke County and Baptist Senior Health Centers. Hospital Corporation of America in Nashville maintains 191 hospitals, 82 surgery centers and other affiliated facilities in the U.S. and Europe. Those facilities employ over 180,000 people. IASIS Healthcare Corporation, headquartered in Franklin, owns and operates fourteen general, acute-care hospitals, one behavioral hospital and three ambulatory surgery centers in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, Texas and Utah. Nearly 10,000 people are dedicated to providing patient care through IASIS community-based hospital networks. Headquartered in Brentwood, LifePoint Hospitals, Inc. is one of the nation's largest hospital companies focused on non-urban healthcare, with 53 general acute care hospitals in nineteen states. Methodist Healthcare is one of the largest private not-for-profit health care systems in the country with more than 1,600 licensed beds and 10,000 Associates. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis is a world-renowned institution that requires a superior, diverse and well-trained group of clinicians, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, administrators and information technology specialists. Saint Thomas Hospital Services, based in Nashville, is a five-hospital healthcare ministry that includes Saint Thomas and Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Middle Tennessee Medical Center in Murfreesboro and Hickman Community Hospital in Centerville. Williamson Medical Center is a 185-bed hospital dedicated to serving the health care needs of the communities surrounding Franklin. Finally, Community Health Systems (CHS) Professional Services Corporation, located in a suburban community just south of Nashville, owns, operates or leases 77 hospitals in 22 states, with an aggregate of more than 8,900 licensed beds. In more than 85 percent of the markets served, CHS-affiliated hospitals are the sole provider of healthcare services. These are just the largest health care employers in Tennessee. This state also maintains many smaller facilities for nursing graduates to explore in cities and towns such as Brownsville, Sevierville, Morristown and more.

Celeste Bishop
August 23, 2012
Two grandmothers, Pat Showalter and Celeste Bishop, are square in the middle of the war against pure beauty and health products as a result of their website being on the Goliath Internet venue Etsy, an online Farmer's Market.
The Etsy Policy Update dragnet is sweeping up numerous small shops such as theirs.
According to Fortune Magazine the Etsy giant sold $62.8 million worth goods in March 2012, up 41.5% from the same time last year, from handcrafted artisan's advertising on their venue.
Etsy's new policy was dropped like an e-bomb from the Etsy Integrity Department, with no notification that is was coming, though it had been in the works for months, and likens Pat and Celeste's company, Shepherds Heart, to criminals trafficking in illegal drugs by making "illegal drug claims about their products".
When Etsy contacted Shepherds Heart on August 9, 2012 they were told that the email was "a private conversation between you and Etsy. Please respect this confidentiality and refrain from distributing this communication without permission from Etsy." Their plea for 'confidentiality' was nothing more than an ill-fated attempt to discourage vendors from comparing notes.
There are other troubling changes in Etsy's policy such as their "Snitch Program" where others are encouraged to turn in non-complaint vendors and " Flagging" which Etsy claims is "akin to neighborhood watch" but is more like the "Report Suspicious Activity" in the Patriot Act with dozens of cadres formed to rat on one another.
Another disturbing indicator is that no date for compliance was given to vendors but upon further communication a deadline of 7 days was demanded.
Bishop says, "This comes at our busiest time of year when we are at Farmers Markets and Festivals, not to mention visitors and vacations, kidding season and preparing our farms for harvest. We pleaded for an extension to Etsy's compliance date to no avail," remarks Pat.
When Celeste and Pat went to review Etsy's new policies they found that they were updated and implemented on August 8, a mere day before vendor dragnet, with demand to comply. Most vendors find the new policy extremely vague and subjective. Dropping this new policy on Shepherd's Heart and other vendors the way Etsy did has thrown many into a state of confusion which Etsy almost seems to be encouraging.

Dennis Besseling, a Master's student at the Department of political science
Participant of the Korea Arctic Academy 2017
"I study political science and I am very interested in the Arctic and its future. The main reason why the Arctic is an interesting region is its great importance for the regional and global climate. The Arctic is also interesting because of the impact the melting ice has on regional and global politics and economy."

As of today, I am still hiking counterclockwise. That means I'd be doing some insane cold weather hiking through the Panhandle of Texas.
In general, people have advised against this. "It gets cold," they say. Well, yes. Snow is cold. Wind and snow together are especially cold. Having lived in Montana for four years, I know a little something about this kind of weather. I'm no expert, but I would like to try it out. Plus, I would like to see snow in Texas, even just once, silly as it sounds. It snowed in Corpus Christi a few years back on Christmas day, but I wasn't there to see it.
That said, I could still be talked out of it. All it would take is a survival specialist to tell me, "Antarctica, no problem. Piece of cake. Texas Panhandle, don't think so, buddy. Couldn't pay me enough to do that." Were I to be swayed for any reason, the following PO list would only be accurate in reverse. Until announced, however, just go with the list as is.
To send something, just follow these instructions, plucked from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy's website:
The "TO" Portion:
1) Write "S.Matt Read"
2) Write "c/o GENERAL DELIVERY"
3) Write the Post Office address of choice.
4) Skip a line.
5) Write "Please hold for Texas Perimeter Hiker."
6) Write the date you expect me to pick it up. And give me LOTS of time.
The "FROM" Portion:
1) This is important. While unlikely that any mail would get returned, you need to print the return address clearly just in case.
Remember that I'll be reaching each of these post offices about every 20 days. If you want to be extra sure I receive something, go to the next post office down the list. And the asterisk means it's directly on the perimeter or very very close.
1) 924 N Avenue F
9) 201 Historic Route 66
Plains, TX 79355-9802
11) 3737 N Highway 285
16) 20001 N Highway 277
18) 7955 N Expressway 77
Until next time, postal users...

Problem Solving for 1 (PS1) helps people to help themselves. While PS1 aided in kicking off conflict coaching, it also makes another important contribution. Training people in how to use PS1 in everyday life helps people to better think through their daily challenges.
Workplace conflict often happens because of poor reactions to situations. Poor reactions are of ten the product of bad planning and misunderstood dynamics. PS1 helps people to better analyze their problems and conflicts. Breaking big problems down into small more manageable parts makes things easier. An ongoing argument with a co-worker, once better analyzed may reveal, for example, several smaller problems. Resolving these smaller problems can help to reduce tension and improve the workplace climate.
Training in PS1 takes just over half a day to complete. With the support of colleagues and coworkers PS1 provides a great opportunity to reduce workplace tension, build cohesion and resolve problems speedily. It also helps support a climate of problem solving throughout the organization.

It's a very different experience preparing for fights as a coach versus being a boxer.
As a boxer, I obsessed about my amateur fight at least a week in advance, and when I was in the pros, I obsessed about it the moment I signed a contract. I constantly worried about a million things….how I would perform, could I handle the person's power, what would people think, would they like the way I fight, would I know what to do and on and on.
As a coach, I deal with preparing for several people and all their energy before a fight. Fights are made and fall through several times. Jockeying about weight happens between the coaches. I observe my boxers behaviours and have to learn the balance between making room for their experience and stepping in to make sure they stay present. Every boxer has their own habits, rituals, neurosis and confidences. I'm learning more and more how important my ability to have a solid communicating relationship with every boxer is key. If they are to go in the ring and trust themselves and trust my advice, we better have practiced communicating as many hours as they put into boxing skills.
I find this the same in life, in all relationships. The importance of communication is paramount. We must be able to talk openly to the folks we depend on most. We must be able to be all aspects of ourselves without fearing retribution. This takes so much practice.
I am incredibly impressed with the boxers I work with. They are increasingly honest with themselves and more honest with me. Their presence before fights and during them is increasing as well. We are doing what boxing is supposed to do……it is supposed to take care of everything. Everything that aches inside and outside of you. Boxing is giving us the platform to increase our vulnerability and access our strength as coaches, as boxers, as family members and gym members.
I am grateful for this gym, the team I work with and their consistent appreciation and gratitude for all I bring to the ring to help them bring all of themselves to the ring.

Improve ASP.NET Performance By Disabling ViewState And Setting Session As ReadOnly
During recent engagement we tried to improve performance of some web page. Original response time was 0.74 seconds. Our objective was to get 0.4 seconds.
The page was simple Html Frameset that was loading two dynamic ASPX pages. Using technique described in Performance Testing For The Masses we identified that it takes 0.4 seconds for one page and 0.2 seconds for another to run on the server (we used time-taken property of the IIS log).
Reviewing the code revealed that there is usage of server controls and both pages read from the Session object.
The assumption was that since no user input is done we can disable ViewState saving on CPU to build the ViewState.
The other assumption was that since the Session is accessed for read only then we can set it as read only saving on locking and preventing race conditions.
This is how each page's header looked after the change:
<%@ Page EnableViewState="false" EnableSessionState="ReadOnly" ...%>
Simple change for ASP.NET mark up, no rebuild required.
After running load test for this new version of ASPX page response time was 0.35 seconds.
Another metric was ASP.NET\ Request Execution Time performance counter that dropped from 0.7 seconds to 0.3 seconds.

How to keep Bootstrap 4 dropdowns in the viewport
How to keep Bootstrap 4 dropdowns in the viewport
Is there a way to keep Bootstrap 4 buttons from spilling out of the viewport? Even the ones in the example seem to do it but in BS4's documentation, button menus automagically stay in view.
colin Posts: 8,661Questions: 0Answers: 1,449
Hi @george.levines ,
Can you give more details on what's spilling out please, and what you think it should be doing instead? That link you posted looks fine to me.
In other words, I would expect this menu to open to the top if the div extended beyond the viewport to the bottom.
It does do correction for the document, but it doesn't take a
divinto account. That would require parsing up the DOM and could be quite slow.
So in other words, this is expected?
I guess it's just in contrast to the examples given here https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/components/dropdowns/
Correct - Buttons doesn't 100% implement the Bootstrap extras there. It primarily just uses Bootstrap for styling, but because it isn't solely a Bootstrap component, it doesn't have support (yet) for all the extra classes Bootstrap makes available.

If you suspect you have a rat infestation, your first impulse might be to close off any openings you suspect the rats may be using to enter and leave your home, or simply scream. Do neither of these; instead, figure out what type of rat is causing the problem, and then use one of the five primary methods of rat combat to rid your home of infestation for good.
There are two main types of rats known for causing infestation in North America – Norway rats and roof rats. Norway rats prefer to nest underground. They dig holes outside of your property around gardens, trees, and other shrubs, as well as against foundations. These holes lead to burrows, which eventually tunnel into your house via pipes, cracks in the encasement around them, or any type of unprotected crawl space. Since Norway rats are fond of the lowest nesting places, they will most often be found in kitchens or bathrooms.
Roof rats prefer just the opposite type of nesting location. Extremely skilled climbers, these rats tend to build their homes in high places, such as cabinets or attics. Scaling any form of material from which your property is constructed poses no problems for these limber rodents. Roof rats climb wood, brick, or stucco siding, then find a small point of entry into your home, such as an exhaust pipe, bathroom vent, or space between the roof and the boards surrounding it. If your house happens to be airtight, these indomitable rodents will chew a hole straight through any material they can.
The location of your house's rodent infestation should provide a strong clue as to what type of rat is responsible. The location of droppings ensures that rats have travelled through the area recently and will do so again. The shape of these leavings can also help to confirm what type of rat is the culprit. Though both types of rat leave waste approximately the size of a black bean, the droppings of Norway rats are smooth and rounded, while those of roof rats have pointy ends.
Once you have determined that you do indeed have a rat infestation, several methods of combat are available to you, including poisons, glueboards, snap traps, live traps, and electrocution. Two main types of poisons are often used to battle rat infestations: rodenticide and liquid bait. Rodenticides are poison baits that seem like attractive foods to rats. Most rodenticides are anticoagulants, which means that they prevent the rat's blood from properly clotting. Once a rat has ingested such an anticoagulant in multiple doses (generally for at least 15 days or until signs of feeding have stopped), any bleeding it undergoes becomes deadly. Since its blood cannot clot, any type of injury that ruptures an artery or vein, such as a cut or internal hemorrhage, causes the rat to bleed to death. Rodenticides should be placed in areas where the rat infestation seems most obvious, but also with caution – make sure that this poison is not in a location where it can be inadvertently consumed by family pets or small children.
Liquid bait is formed of a poisonous concentrate mixed with water, and is ideal for dealing with rat infestations during dry seasons, or in areas where rats have few water sources. Adding a little sugar to the liquid bait should make it even more attractive to rats, who need water daily unless they are somehow feeding on very moist food. Liquid bait containers should be safely enclosed in liquid bait stations (available from commercial suppliers as well as self-constructable) in high places like cabinets or crawlspaces, as well as any other out-of-the-way locale where the target rats will be the only ones to find and ingest it. In both rodenticide and liquid bait station usage, the food and/or water provided needs to be fresh, as rats will not eat food that is stale, dirty, or spoiled in any way. Both types of poison should ideally be placed between the rats' nest and their main food source, if possible.
It is relatively easy to construct as opposed to purchase your own liquid bait container station. These containers can take many forms and be constructed of many different materials, but it is key to design them so that multiple rats can feed at once. A bait station can be formed of a simple flat piece of wood (at least eight inches long to prevent children from gaining access) nailed at an angle to the wall with with the food positioned between the wall and board. Bait stations can also be constructed from pipes, or more elaborate boxes with two holes cut into the sides, equipped with childproof latches for easy checks to make the sure the bait is fresh and still being consumed. Each station should have at least two 2½-inch openings, preferably at opposite ends of the station so that rats looking into one end can see an easy escape route, and thus be more inclined to venture in.
Glueboards and snap traps are somewhat outdated means of dealing with rat infestations, but can still meet with success when the problem is limited to one or two animals. Glueboards are pieces of plastic or wood with non-drying glue spread on top to which the curious rat will become stuck. Glueboards can be bought from commercial suppliers or self-constructed. In order to build your own glueboard, cut a square or rectangular shape from a sturdy substance such as plastic or wood (avoid paper at all costs). Spread a form of non-drying glue (Rodent Bulk Glue is fairly popular) on the board, and place it near a wall or under furniture where rats are likely to travel. The downside of glueboards is that only one can be used per rat, and often, a rat ensnared on such a board will scream with a human-like sound that may not only be hard for human occupants of the house to bear, but also scare other rats away from additional glueboard investigation.
Extended trigger traps are the springloaded, updated version of the snap traps (planks of wood with metal triggers) of yore. They, like glueboards, are best used in cases where only one or two rats are causing a problem. Place the traps as close to the wall as possible in a location the rodents normally frequent. The disadvantage of using trigger traps is that once rats see their own kind dead, which they inevitably will when the traps spring, they will consistently avoid any further traps you set out at all costs.
Live traps are widely considered to be the best modern means of dealing with rat infestations. They are safer and less hazardous than poisons, and enable quick release of a live rodent (or the ability to dispose of one) so that odor does not become a problem. Make sure that you purchase or construct a trap constructed of a 1/2-inch wire grid – no larger – to prevent rats from escaping. This is especially important when dealing with roof rats. Like all of the other rat-trapping methods, live traps should be placed in areas where rats often travel. Since rats are inherently cautious around foreign objects, it would be wise to place the traps unsprung with food inside for at least two weeks in order to give the rats a chance to get accustomed to eating in them. Set a lot of traps during this time to ensure that there are many rats comfortable around them when you actually set the traps, ensuring that many will be trapped at once; when they are sprung, rats will see their own trapped and will completely avoid the traps.
If you yourself want to kill a live rat you have trapped, four methods are the most efficient and popular: freezing, suffocating, drowning, and electrocution. Freezing is one of the most humane options, but also the most lengthy. In order to freeze rat to death, place the trap in which it has been caught into a bag, and then place the bag in a freezer. Be prepared to wait at least several hours, or even overnight, for the rat to fall asleep and die painlessly. Suffocating takes less time, but can still take more than you might expect, as rats are fairly persistent animals. In order to successfully suffocate a rat, you must devise some means of sealing it in an airtight space, which can be tricky. Use your ingenuity, and if nothing seems to be working, attempt one of the three other methods.
Drowning and electrocuting take far less time. In order to drown a rat, place the trap into a bucket of water or submerge it entirely in a nearby pond or stream. The rat should be dead within 15 minutes at most. In order to electrocute, or shock, a rat to death, you must install zappers in areas the rats travel heavily. Zappers are battery-operated electrical devices that contain food attractive to the rat. Once the rat enters the zapper, the latter quickly and humanely delivers enough volts to kill the rodent. A small red light located at the top of any type of zapper will notify you when the job has been successfully completed. Best of all, no direct handling of the carcass is necessary, as you can gently shake the zapper in order to let the rat's body fall into a disposal bag.
Using zappers to electrocute and live traps to ensnare rats alive are the best modern ways to deal with rat infestations, although glueboards, extended trigger traps, rodenticides, and liquid bait are also popular options. By employing any of these methods, you should be able to rid your home of rat infestation in a relatively short period of time.
Having a mouse for an unwanted roommate is never fun. Mice spoil food, make noise at night and leave urine and droppings in places where you prepare food. A mouse infestation can spread diseases in your home and make you sick. The best way to deal with a mouse problem is to nip it in the bud as fast as possible.
If you discover a mouse in your home, you will need to act fast. Mice reproduce in about two and a half to three weeks. One pregnant female will multiply the problem very quickly. Rather than allowing your home to become a safe harbor for mice, take action using these methods.
1) Prepare your home before winter. Mice can fit through tiny spaces, and they love to move indoors once the weather turns cold. You can prepare for a potential mouse invasion by liming points of entry. Block little holes and cracks in your home with steel wool. Unlike many other materials, steel-wool is resistant to mouse teeth.
2) Set up your traps effectively. A trip in the middle of the floor does little good. A trap set up against the wall is much more effective. Did you know that mice don't usually cross to the middle of the floor? They prefer to stick to walls and corners. Whether you use a snap-trap or a no-kill trap, keep it flush against the wall and in the mouse's path. You'll be more likely to catch mice. Peanut butter, bread, and cheese are all highly effective bait.
3) Should you catch a mouse in your no-kill trap, release it far from your home. Mice have a good sense of direction and move fast. Take the mouse with you on a long drive and hike. Some people prefer to release mice in the middle of fields. This increases the chances that a hawk or another predatory bird will catch the mouse. There's something a little more "morally clean" about giving a mouse to a natural food chain than killing it yourself.
4) Get a cat. If you aren't allergic and you don't hate cats, keeping a friendly feline around is a guaranteed way to control mice and other vermin. Bear in mind, a cat might sometimes bring you a "kill". Instead of being grossed out, just be happy that your cat is doing its job.
Even after you've removed mice from your home, you will need to continue to be proactive to avoid future infestations. If mice have invaded your house once, it means more mice are likely to want to move in. Remember, your house is a perfect haven for little rodents: warm, safe from predators and full of food. If you let your guard down, mice can very quickly take over.
You can also take comfort knowing that mice are not the worst infestation you could have. Unlike rats, mice cause no direct harm to humans and aren't a huge health concern if their numbers stay small. A few mice in your house is not a big deal, but you do need to take measures to avoid a full-blown infestation.

IT sourcing leaders face many challenges as they seek to improve strategies, evaluate and select the right suppliers, and manage the constantly changing internal demand for IT. Disparate procurement approaches no longer work in this challenging landscape – that's where we come in. Long View ensures your business is buying the right technology – at the right price – at the right time – for your environment.
We help you buy a better way.
We're Not Just Procurement Experts – We're also Architects, Implementers, and Operators
About a third of our business is devoted to procuring technology – the other two thirds are helping our clients implement and operate that technology. Our role includes alerting you to the benefits and pitfalls that may not be apparent when a product is still in the box, and customizing a solution to fit your needs. We understand compatibility issues, product lifecycles, and the different technology options available, so we can find the right solution for your organization.
We're Obsessive about Keeping Current with the Latest Market Data
It's our job to keep a finger on the pulse of what's happening in the industry, so we do exactly that. We know how leading companies are spending their IT budgets, and what manufacturers are developing in response to future technology projections. This means we're well positioned to advise your business on what hardware and software to purchase, and when.
We Offer Full Lifecycle Support for Your Purchases
Technology procurement is only part of our offering. We help install and implement your purchases, making sure they're compatible with your current systems. We spend time up front to ensure projects and programs run smoothly through to completion. Our architecture team provides guidance and support for all our technology practices, providing you access to a comprehensive pool of quality IT skills – what you need, when and where you need it – leveraging industry best practices, frameworks, and methodologies.
Outcome Based Procurement
At Long View, we know an IT department's ROI is now measured in terms of making strategic business outcomes happen. This is why we have created Outcome Based Procurement. We use your IT spend to fund and create a specific strategic outcome – which is key for transformation. This is more than a technology fund – it's a structured program utilizing your current spend for future transformation.
We Have Strong Relationships with Key IT Vendors
Because we buy, implement, and maintain technologies on all Tier 1 vendors, we're familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of their product offerings. As a value added reseller, Long View is well positioned to zero in on the technologies that will meet your unique business needs.
Cost Savings from 5 to 15% for Your Business
Sometimes the procurement process is difficult to navigate. It's hard to know if you're getting the best price. Long View's technology procurement team constantly analyzes the market so you can be sure you're getting the best value. We also can offer a transparent buying model with a fixed margin – Procurement as a Service – because we want your company as a long-term client.
We Provide Procurement as a Service
This means the pricing of goods is on a "cost plus" basis – the plus being an agreed-upon margin in return for a set of services. This transparent pricing policy makes our acquisition costs both visible to and auditable by our clients. We'd rather create long-lasting relationships with our customers than make a quick profit on a deal, so our margin stays fixed from the beginning. Then we leverage our manufacturer relationships to ensure you're getting the best product at the best price, all tracked and reported on by a mature governance model. And because we anticipate your company's evolving needs, we're able to procure technology that makes sense for the long term.
We Do the IT Procurement Footwork
Some clients come to us with the products they want already sourced. In those instances, we're happy to simply put a price in front of them and make the purchase. But we also have clients who require more guidance. For them, we do the necessary research to thoroughly understand the problem. We then talk to our internal experts and our manufacturer contacts, work out the best options, and present a range of solutions with their advantages, disadvantages, and costs.
Customer Service that Creates Trust
Customer service is paramount to our procurement team. It makes our work lives better and develops client engagements that grow into long-term relationships. It's why our clients have been with us for many years. Sometimes it means staying late, sometimes it means working weekends, but mostly it just means that going above and beyond isn't the exception. It's the rule to ensuring a better buying experience for our clients.

3.9 Move or Copy Individual Features on a Map
Level of expertise required for this Chapter: Beginner; general Map Maker training
Beside moving an entire map (see Chapter 3.8), you can also move one or more selected units.
First, you calculate the distance the individual feature (polygon or line or point) has to be moved horizontally (in W or E direction) and vertically (in N or S direction). See also Chapter 5.3.6 (Shift a Raster Map) for the procedure to calculate shift distances in meters.
The map has to be in the live layer. Then: With the Select-tool (at toolbar left), you select the unit > Main menu > Edit > Show Selection Manager (unless already open) > Selection Manager window, which should show the selected unit(s) > Actions > Transformations > Shift coordinates of vectors >
Shift co-ordinates window: Enter the horizontal and / or vertical distances (in meters). In this example, the map will be moved 25 m to the West, 15 m to the North. > OK
The unit(s) will be moved. You can close the Selection Manager window.
Don't forget to save (right-mouse > Save live layer as…).
- - - - -
Alternatively, but less recommended, you can also 'drag' a unit to a new place:
Again, the map has to be in live layer. Then: Take the Select-tool (at toolbar left) > Select the unit(s): A small blue square will appear at the bottom right, which you can then drag to a new location.
For explanation of these blue marks, see end of Chapter 5.2.5
