WASHINGTON - Concerned about the appearance of disarray and feuding within his administration as well as growing resistance to his policies in Iraq, President Bush - living up to his recent declaration that he is in charge - told his top officials to "stop the leaks" to the media, or else.
News of Bush's order leaked almost immediately.
Bush told his senior aides Tuesday that he "didn't want to see any stories" quoting unnamed administration officials in the media anymore, and that if he did, there would be consequences, said a senior administration official who asked that his name not be used.

Piece of mind? ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes Monica. I think you are correct in that it's easier to sleep if one does have peace of mind but does a lack of peace of mind necessarily stop one from sleeping? There must be many other causes of insomnia too I would have thought.Delete
It was you spelling that made me smile, whether intentional or not. (piece instead of peace)Delete
Gosh I must have been half asleep (I probably was) when I read that. I didn't even see the mistake. I just saw what I expected to see. It comes to a sorry state when people have to explain their comments to one. 4/10. I'll try to do better next time!Delete

No wonder after your long flight, I took it for a deliberate pun though... You can make up for it by doing it the other way round another time :)Delete
Reading this at 3.50 a.m. I was amused!!! Well sort of!! Well, wryly!ReplyDeleteReplies
I was thinking of you when I wrote the piece CJ. You probably have different reasons from many though because of the pain. Often insomnia seems to have no specific cause (like dreams).Delete
If it is up to myself, I usually fall asleep easily and sleep really well. But I wake up with noise in and outside the house easily, and then I get really cross because as soon as I am fully awake, the noise stops (doors banging, heavy steps on the stairs, leaf blowers and lawn mowers - you name it, we get it!).ReplyDeleteReplies
Meike I am always thankful for the fact that I live in relative rural isolation: I am rarely bothered by any noise other than the noises of nature around me.Delete
I am usually up around 4.30 - 5.00am, but if I have to be awake early, I always make sure to set my alarm to be on the safe side.ReplyDelete
Sometimes I'm up earlier, like now (3.05am) while I write this. It's Brownie that has insomnia this time around, so I'm up keeping his company until he settles back down.
It's always nice to help a friend out when needed.Replies
Ah yes Virginia but then you do that a lot: you're a kind person.Delete

The Health Behaviour and Emotion lab is a multidisciplinary research environment focusing on psychosocial factors in physical activity and sport contexts. As such, our research foci involve the influence of motivation, self-conscious emotions (pride, shame, guilt, envy and embarrassment), stress, affect, and social support as it relates to physical activity, youth and adolescent sport involvement, and emotional wellbeing.
The aim of our research is to develop a broader understanding of physical activity behaviour across the lifespan in diverse clinical and community-based populations, including mental health, adolescents and youth, and cancer survivors. Research suggests that perceptions of competence and the physical-self, social support, and physical activities that are novel with opportunities for choice, greatly influence physical activity motives and behaviour. With a broader understanding of how such psychosocial factors influence health behaviour we hope to inform physical activity interventions and reduce the psychological and physical health risks associated with inactivity.
Examples of some of the research foci explored in our lab include:
- Identifying and exploring body-related self-conscious emotions and associations to health and well-being
- Lifestyle physical activity and emotional indicators of well-being in breast cancer survivors
- Motivational correlates and health outcomes of physical activity and sedentary behaviour
Areas of Focus in the Health Behaviour and Emotion Lab
- Exercise and health psychology
- Mental health
- Body image
- Oncology
- Physical activity intervention
- Physical activity measurement
Meet the Health Behaviour and Emotion Team
Dr. Catherine M. Sabiston is a professor of exercise and health psychology at the University of Toronto and holds a Canada Research Chair (Tier II) in Physical Activity and Mental Health. Her research primarily focuses on strategies to improve physical activity, and reduce sedentary behavior, among individuals across the lifespan and how physical activity relates to mental health. Dr. Sabiston has over 160 peer reviewed articles, and over 300 conference presentations and community public health talks. She has received numerous career awards for her work in sport, exercise, and health psychology and has held more than $19 million in funding to conduct her research.
Postdoctoral Fellows
Shea completed an interdisciplinary PhD on sport participation at Dalhousie University and works as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Dr. Sabiston. He studies the determinants and outcomes of sport participation, particularly during adolescence. Although most of his research is situated at the individual level and can best be categorized as sport psychology, he employs an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on multiple analytic levels (e.g., biological, individual, team, community, country). His research is informed by evolutionary theory and centers on how specific affective systems regulate status striving, social devaluation, and friendship alliances, including how these systems are related to youth sport participation, and gender differences therein. He often tests theories that make claims of universality or cross-cultural variability, and thus he strives to study diverse societies. In parallel to this research, he is part of a team that is building a digital platform that aims to democratize athlete development. This platform (www.repthegame.com) functions as a powerful tool that can translate research into actual interventions for amateur sport. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter: @SheaBalish.
Isabelle Doré holds a PhD in Public Health - Epidemiology from the University of Montreal in Quebec, Canada. She recently joined Catherine Sabiston's Lab as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto; she's also affiliated at CHUM Research Centre in Montreal. Her research focuses on various aspects of physical activity, with a specific interest in social contexts (informal group PA, team sports). She is interested in types of physical activity that can improve global mental health (well-being) and prevent common mental disorders (anxiety and depression), especially among adolescents and youth transitioning to adulthood. She is also interested in social mechanisms (social support, relatedness, social identity, sense of belonging) underpinning the effect of physical activity on mental health and mental disorders. As part of her postdoctoral research program, she will focus on sedentary behaviour and how it impacts physical and mental health outcomes among cancer survivors.
Please do not hesitate to contact Isabelle directly should you have any questions or require further information about her research: email@example.com
Ben completed his PhD at the University of British Columbia, and works as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Dr. Sabiston. His primary research focus is on the association between the experience of variety and well-being, motivation and behaviour in physical activity contexts. He is currently conducting research on variety in a range of contexts (e.g., sport and exercise) and populations (e.g., adolescents, adults, and masters athletes) to further our understanding of when, for whom, and how variety can be used to improve adaptive outcomes. To learn more about his research please see his ResearchGate, or Google Scholar Profile. He can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or via twitter: @BenSylvesterPhD
Doctoral Students
Angela is a fourth-year PhD student in exercise psychology under the supervision of Dr. Catherine Sabiston. She completed her Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees in Kinesiology at Western University in London, Ontario. During her master's degree, she specialized in exercise psychology interventions for smoking cessation and examined the acute effects of exercise on smoking behaviour following concurrent stressors. From there, her research interests shifted from using physical activity in cancer prevention to using physical activity in cancer survivorship. Currently, Angela is applying knowledge translation strategies to help breast cancer survivors become physically active because as many as 90% of breast cancer survivors report not meeting physical activity guidelines. She is also interested in positive psychosocial outcomes related to physical activity such as grit, post-traumatic growth and social support. To learn more about Angela's academic background and research, please find her on Research Gate. Angela can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com
Anika is a second-year PhD student, supervised by Dr. Catherine Sabiston. Anika has a background in mental health, completing her Bachelor of Arts with Honours and Master's of Arts in Psychology. Anika is a Clinical Counsellor at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (University Health Network) in the Department of Surgical Oncology as part of the supportive care team, and in private practice in the community. Broadly, Anika's research interests have focused on survivorship issues faced by patients (and their partners) who have been diagnosed with urological cancers, including treatment decision-making, sexual health, physical wellness, exercise and health psychology, and supportive care. Anika has contributed to multiple research studies in the field of cancer survivorship. Building off of Anika's clinical work with testicular cancer survivors, Anika will be examining the supportive care needs specific to physical activity and mental health in her PhD studies. Anika is working with a multi-disciplinary team of experts to develop supportive care programming that utilizes physical activity, peer support, and psychoeducation to help address short and long-term physical and mental health concerns related to the disease and its treatments. The goal of this research is to develop evidence-based supportive care intervention strategies that are sustainable and can be implemented across Canada to support testicular cancer patients long term and improve their overall health related quality of life.

Input filtering and protection for switched mode inverters and converters
These days, a typical specification for a power converter starts with a list of international standards that must be met for EMC and safety compliance. The requirements for functional performance are often many pages into the document. EMC includes limitation of conducted and radiated emissions, immunity to transients and surges on the power lines and immunity to levels of external electromagnetic radiation and electrostatic discharge.
The relevant safety and EMC standards depend on the application but UL/EN 60950-1 for safety in IT systems and the European EMC directive standards in the EN 61000 series are commonly used. Standards change or are replaced regularly so the designer must ensure that the latest is used. EN 60950-1 for example will soon be replaced by EN 62368-1. Specific applications such as medical and test equipment have their own standards.
Safety requirements are linked with EMC because a result of an EMC-induced failure could be a damaged component which then presents a shock or other hazard to personnel. Also, safety standards require designers to ensure that a single failure of a component or connection leaves the equipment safe. A comprehensive input filter has to take all this into account without degrading the electrical performance of the converter.
It's possible to consider all the requirements of an input filter in isolation and assemble components to achieve the required performance. A filter which might do this is shown in Figure 1. C1 and C2 along with L1 and L2 reduce differential mode (DM) noise, T1 along with C3 and C4 reduce common mode (CM) noise, R1 provides inrush current suppression and VAR1 provides attenuation of transients and surges. FS1 protects wiring in case of short circuits downstream and R2 discharges C1 and C2 at power-down. It's useful to remember that although the EMC standards do not put a limit on DM noise, it is always best to minimise it as it can convert into common mode, and in fact the standard test method for measuring CM noise using a LISN to CISPR-22 will always indicate half of the value of the DM noise even if no CM noise is present.
A high-power converter or inverter is likely to feature all of these components but open up a modern mobile phone adapter and you will see very little obvious input filtering. This illustrates the fact that meeting the standards depends heavily on the converter design and particularly the power level. It's most important to design the power converter for minimum EMI from the start by using soft switching technologies and with very careful layout to keep any EMI currents circulating within the converter and not through external connections. For example, a main source of CM noise is through the capacitance of a switching semiconductor tab to a grounded heatsink so select a device whose tab is not a switching node or avoid grounding the heatsink. If the heatsink must be grounded then an electrostatic screen between the device tab and heatsink is effective. The screen should be connected to the converter DC-link voltage, suitably isolated. An ungrounded heatsink also has the benefit of reducing input mains leakage current – an example of how safety and EMC interact.
At low power, economies can be achieved. For example, if the common mode choke T1 is deliberately wound with some leakage inductance, L1 and L2 could possibly be omitted; FS1 and R1 could be replaced by a single fusible resistor; C2 may be unnecessary depending on the level of EMI experienced and VAR1 may be unnecessary depending on the application environment and circuit impedances. Often low power applications are 'Class II' or earth free. In this case C3 and C4 would not be fitted but similar capacitors would often be connected in series from input to converter output.
Let's look at each component in turn in Figure 1, assuming all components are needed:
FS1 must be 'fast blow' and agency-rated at the operating voltage and maximum running current with some margin. However, the fuse has to guarantee to open with short circuits downstream which might otherwise cause a shock or fire hazard. Creepage and clearance distances in the converter primary circuit are often reduced on the condition that the fuse opens with particular short circuits. Note that DC input converters require different types of fuses that self-extinguish after opening, typically sand-filled.
VAR1 must be rated for the highest line voltage and to absorb energy from the specified line transients without damage. Its energy rating does depend on other circuit impedances which could usefully limit current.
R2 discharges C1 and C2 to a safe voltage on power-down within a time specified by the relevant standard. It must be rated for the highest input voltage and it should withstand transients on the input without failure. A conflict exits in that the resistor has to be low enough in value to discharge the capacitors quickly but not so small that the nominal dissipation in the component exceeds the target light or no-load dissipation for the converter. A solution is the 'CAPZero' product from Power Integrations which discharges capacitors then actively disconnects itself. Note that if the value of C1 and C2 together is less than 100 nF, R2 can be omitted.
C1 and C2 'X' capacitors attenuate converter DM emissions along with L1 and L2 and help to absorb transients from the input supply. These are usually large components as high capacitance is often needed and they have to be rated not only at the continuous input voltage but also for over-voltages on the line. The 'overvoltage category' of the application according to the relevant safety standard sets the over-voltage level requiring either 'X1' type rated at 4 kV test or 'X2' type rated at 2.5 kV test.
C3 and C4 'Y' capacitors reduce CM noise externally by providing a low-impedance path for the noise to circulate inside the converter. The capacitors have to withstand line to earth voltages and transients so again, according to 'overvoltage category', are either 'Y1' type rated at 8 kV test or 'Y2' type at 5 kV test. There are strict limits to the allowed capacitance values however as under the fault condition of an open earth connection, current from the line can pass through the 'Y' capacitors to a chassis connection and to a user. The maximum current allowed is set by the standard and installation but can be as low as 10 µA in the most sensitive medical applications.
T1 is a 'common mode' or 'current compensated' choke providing attenuation for CM noise. Each winding is phased such that the normal running current magnetic field cancels in the core so high inductance windings can be used without fear of core saturation. Common mode noise current does not cause cancelling magnetic fields so a high impedance is 'seen' by the current. T1 is often toroidal construction with appropriate separation between the windings for the line to neutral voltage.
L1 and L2 are simple chokes providing attenuation for differential mode noise. These chokes see the full running current with no field cancellation so have to be rated to avoid saturation. This limits inductance value and core type, iron powder material being a common low cost solution.
R1 limits inrush current to following capacitors to avoid stress and 'nuisance' opening of FS1. However, at higher powers the normal running dissipation in R1 can be high so it is often replaced with a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor or a circuit which shorts the resistor after start-up by a TRIAC or relay. R1 should be a type with high surge current rating, typically wire-wound.
TDK manufactures many products suitable for the elements of filter networks including the series S, E2/E3(K1) and Q for varistors, S364x and S464x for thermistors, B3292x for X2 capacitors and B3202x for Y2 capacitors. Their B8245/6/7/8 series of common mode chokes covers a wide range of applications while their extensive range of ferrite cores can be used for custom solutions. Complete filter modules are also available in for example their B84143 series.

At long last, teen hero Marty McFly will go degree-for-degree with his partner in time, Dr. Emmett Brown: Stony Brook University will confer an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree upon Canadian-American actor Michael J. Fox during its 2017 commencement ceremony.
Fox – whose award-winning, three-decade entertainment career also includes stints as a producer, author and voice performer – is a respected advocate for several important causes, and one in particular: With the exception, perhaps, of the late Muhammed Ali, he is the world's most famous victim of Parkinson's disease and the founder of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is dedicated to funding research and finding a cure.
The actor/advocate's commitment to his craft and "unbound, resolute advocacy for Parkinson's disease research" – a focus mirrored in the Thomas Hartman Center for Parkinson's Research Center, part of SBU's Department of Neurobiology and Behavior – make him "an outstanding candidate for this honorary degree," according to university President Samuel Stanley Jr.
"Michael has spoken frequently about his predisposition to view challenges, including his own Parkinson's, through a lens of optimism and humor," Stanley said in a statement. "So, it is highly appropriate for Stony Brook University to recognize his many contributions, as they continue to transform the lives of so many, just as our graduates are empowered by their Stony Brook degree to make an equally positive impact on the world."
Best known for his role as McFly, the time-traveling adventurer in the "Back to the Future" movies, Fox collected a closetful of Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards for his work on the popular television shows "Family Ties" and "Spin City." In 1991, he was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's disease – a diagnosis he did not reveal publicly until 1998 – and his since become a leading advocate for research into the progressive disorder of the nervous system.
Fox is one of five individuals who will receive honorary doctorates from SBU this spring. At the commencement ceremony, SBU will also confer honorary degrees upon conservationist and anthropologist Prince Emmanuel de Merode, who is receiving a Doctor of Humane Letters degree for his service as director and chief warden of Virunga National Park in the Republic of the Congo, and SBU alum and Shutterstock founder Jonathan Oringer, who is receiving a Doctor of Science degree for his contributions to the global technology scene.
And at the university's May 18 Doctoral Hooding Ceremony, two distinguished scholars will add honorary Doctor of Science degrees to their actual diplomas: Arthur Kramer (SBU Class of '75), who will be honored for his leadership in the areas of cognitive neuroscience and psychology, and astronomy professor Frank Shu, a former SBU instructor known best for his work in theoretical astrophysics.
"To be joined in their celebration by such highly accomplished individuals is a remarkable distinction for the Class of 2017," Stanley noted. "It demonstrates to our newest alumnae how much can be achieved with vision, dedication and the relentless pursuit of big ideas that Stony Brook embraces."
Stony Brook University's 57th annual commencement ceremony – which will confer non-honorary degrees upon nearly 6,000 graduates – is scheduled for May 19 at the university's Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. More information on the ceremony is available here.

Wow, this show got cancelled before I even got to put the review up. We decided to only give this show one episode and NBC didn't give it much more. The Playboy Club has been cancelled after only 3 episodes. And it was not cancelled because some hate groups tried to get it cancelled, even though they try to take credit for it, or because it was too explicit for tv and was more like a movie from https://www.tubev.sex/. The show got cancelled because it was really bad and no one was watching. Even though I didn't see any potential in this show I do have to say that networks cancel shows way too quickly these days. Freaks and Geeks was cancelled before the first season finished airing, and it's one of the highest rated shows of all time, rating higher than Seinfeld and Friends. Also, if we cancelled every show before giving it a chance, show's that needed a few episodes to get going or started with low ratings like The Wire, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and Married with Children would all have gotten cancelled quickly. That being said the Playboy Club is not one of those shows and it would not have become one of those shows. It was just not a good show.
I think they were trying to be extra tame because they knew people were just waiting to complain about it. It was actually one of the more tame shows on TV despite it's setting. Here's a quick summary of the first episode:
New bunny starts at the club (they aren't wearing revealing outfits and they are just bartenders, just to clarify for all the people who were complaining about it) and dances with a mafia guy. She goes into the back room where he follows her (no security at the club I guess, feel free to rape whomever you want in the back room. There is a struggle and she ends up kicking him in the jugular with her high heel, killing him. He just rolls over dead, no blood. None. Pretty much the rest of the episode is a mafia guy grilling her about being seen with him that night. You know, because if you dance with him then you probably know where he was the rest of the night. The mafia guy was right, but I think it was a little far fetched that he assumed she was responsible. That's about it. There were a bunch of other side stories that were all very uninteresting. A girl who is dating a bartender but has a secret, a black playboy bunny who wants to be the first black girl on the cover of Playboy, an old bunny who is not the mentor for the rest of them……all really boring subplots.
They showed a preview for episode 2 and could literally have used it for episode 1 and I wouldn't have known the difference. If the show was going to be that monotonous after one episode then it definitely needed to go.
I've seen worse shows (some of those will be reviewed this week actually), but this was something that I had no desire to watch again and apparantly I wasn't alone.
Grade – C-

It's late again. And the exhaustion is heavy on my shoulders, sort of like the lead blanket they drape over you when you get a mouth x-ray.
You know, that thing they use at the dentist that presses you back into the already uncomfortable chair while you hold your head in an awkward position with your mouth in a weird grimace or sneer because the x-ray film is poking into your gums and making your eyes water. You can swear it's making you bleed, and if they don't hurry up, you're going to begin to drool. And you just sit there, trapped under this weight while they arrange the x-ray machine that looks oddly like a projector right up against your cheek, leave the room, and then there's that groan and click that sounds like the machine has stalled and radiation is leaking everywhere, but it's actually just the noise that means it's over.
The hygienist comes back into the room, and you start debating whether or not to wiggle your arms out from under this heavy, heavy blanket and take that darned gum impaler out of your mouth yourself. So usually you just stay still, rather helpless, trapped by the weight of the blanket, because you just might mess it up and then they'd have to go through the whole process again. And while they pull the spit soaked x-ray film out of your mouth and arrange the next one between your molars, you wonder where you should put your hands.
During the second groan and click, it occurs to you how strange it is that they go to all of this effort to protect your body from the x-ray radiation, but they do nothing about the rest of your head. I mean, you're a big fan of not having your body poisoned, but isn't your brain the most important part of them all. Why don't they put you in a lead helmet?
And while you think about those things, the blanket begins to get even heavier. It's not the comfortable weight of having a child sleep on top of you or the nice pressure of a tight hug. It's just there, and it weighs on you.
However, I'm not going to the dentist right now.
My next twice yearly appointment isn't for months.
But darn it, if this exhaustion doesn't feel like that lead blanket.
And as always, you can also find me on tumblr at http://emleng93.tumblr.com/, if you're into that kind of thing.

Stay alert while enjoying the scenery IDOT, ISP remind visitors
COLLINSVILLE – To make the Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway a pleasurable and safe outing for everyone during the busy fall tourism season, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is embarking on several safety and maintenance improvements.
IDOT will be adding additional signs and improving pavement markings along the stretch of the byway, also known as the Great River Road and Illinois Route 100, between Grafton and Alton.
"The Great River Road is one of the great treasures of our state," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. "At IDOT, we are proud to showcase our state, but we also want to do all we can to make sure people are watching out for one another on the roads and getting to where they need to go safely."
Every year, the byway's abundant autumn colors and spectacular scenery attracts thousands of visitors and sightseers, including numerous bicyclists and motorcyclists, as well as motorists, who are new to the area. On the road that navigates the narrow stretch of land between towering cliffs and the Mississippi River, IDOT will display digital message boards cautioning byway visitors to remain alert and will repaint stripes and bike trail symbols along the shared roadway.
In addition, Illinois State Police (ISP) and local law enforcement will step up enforcement in the area.
"While you're enjoying the spectacular views on the Great River Road, please remember to be alert for motorcycles on the roadway and bicyclists and pedestrians using the nearby paths," said Illinois State Police Director Leo Schmitz. "By staying alert, everyone will be able to enjoy the beautiful fall scenery."
In October, IDOT will be removing brush and making repairs to the surface to the Sam Vadalabene Bike Trail with limited disruption to cyclists and pedestrians.

LONDON - A credit trader at the London office of Eric Mindich's $7 billion New York hedge fund, Eton Park, which said about three months ago that it was shutting down, is looking to open his own firm, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Two of the sources said Anirudh Singh, 33, expected to raise at least $200 million for the fund, while one source put the potential launch capital at more than $100 million.
Singh worked for Eton Park for roughly six years after a stint at Goldman Sachs, documents filed with Britain's Financial Conduct Authority show. He is not deregistered from the firm.
Singh did not respond to requests for comment.
His move would be the first spin-out from Eton Park's London office since its assets halved from a peak of $14 billion in 2011.
After a tough few years for most hedge funds in which several high profile firms have closed, several high-profile traders have branched out on their own, including the former chief investment officer at Perry Capital, David Russekoff.
The number of new hedge funds hit 189 in the first quarter of 2017, an increase for the first time since the first three months of 2016, according to data from industry tracker Preqin.
It was not clear whether Singh plans to work with former Eton Park colleagues at the new fund, neither was it clear where he would get financial backing.
A spokesman for Eton Park declined to comment.
Mindich became a partner at Goldman Sachs at 27 in 1994, making him the youngest person to do so in the firm's history.
He raised $3.5 billion when he launched Eton Park in 2004.

History of Eltham Hill
In 2006 Eltham Hill School celebrated its Centenary – a considerable achievement in a period of such momentous changes in society, education and the role of women. All of these changes have, of course, been reflected in the history of Eltham Hill but it should be remembered that both pupils and staff have themselves played their part in bringing those changes about.
During these one hundred years, Eltham itself has changed beyond recognition from the Kentish village of 1906, which could trace its history at least as far back as the Domesday Book. Eltham had royal connections for several centuries and, from the 11th century until Tudor times, was often the residence of Kings of England. A splendid palace was built in mediaeval times though little remains today except the Great Hall and 15th century bridge across the moat. Victorian Eltham was a well-to-do residential area. There were a number of large houses standing in extensive grounds as well as the more traditional village cottages.
The turn of the century saw the beginning of developments that were to change Eltham forever. In 1899, the Kentish village was incorporated into the newly formed borough of Woolwich and thus became part of the County of London. Gradually the large houses disappeared or changed their character and use. New building developments provided houses for the comfortable middle class. In nearby Woolwich however, conditions were very different. With the outbreak of the Boer War in 1900, the Arsenal expanded considerably causing a great influx of workers, housed for the most part in crowded and insanitary slums. Despite this, Eltham itself continued to have a rural character thanks mainly to its isolation from public transport. The railway extended only to Well Hall and the newly introduced electric trams only reached Lee Green. There were a few private cars for the very wealthy but most of Eltham's traffic was made up of horse-drawn vehicles.
As the changes in social conditions began to accelerate in the early years of the century, their impact was felt both in education and the role of women. Pioneer women of great courage had earlier begun the fight for women to receive higher education and enter careers on the same terms as men. In 1900 there were already 200 women doctors and more than 100 women dentists in England and the campaign for the vote was beginning in earnest.
Since the 1870 Education Act, every child had had the right to free elementary education but most still had to leave school at 14 as in fact their teachers had done. Then, in 1902, The 2nd Education Act gave local authorities the right to create secondary (grammar) schools, to be maintained at public expense. This opened the way for able pupils from all walks of life to receive an advanced education at little or no cost to their families. The London County Council, always at the front rank of educational advances, immediately began to plan the building of secondary schools: Fulham and Dalston opened in 1905 and in 1906 came Eltham.

Take a look at the AFPRSC keyword on an AFP-capable print file DDS--
A file with a .jpg extension is typically a jpeg image contained in a JFIF file format. AFPRSC directly supports this format.
Most likely you're going to have to use Host Print Transform to get this to a printer. I'd think HPT and any HP-PCL variant would work.
I know with PAGSEG's resolution to the actual object happened at print writer time. That is, the spool file would be created and hang around in the outq without ever fetching the image, then the print writer would find and merge in the file. In other words, don't expect to run the RPG to the print file and then delete the image file; it needs to hang around until the print writer runs.
I haven't had a chance to play with AFPRSC yet, myself, but it promises to do just what you want. It looks pretty simple, supply a name, a type, position, and a path to find the file. You may also add size and some scale-to-fit mapping options.

text: Frusterio Design, Inc. was contacted in the Fall of 2009 to design a custom horse barn to accompany the home we designed for the family a couple of months earlier. The home and barn are located in an equestrian community in Birmingham, Alabama. We worked with the family, who had definitely done their research, to design a barn that would provide a guest living space, as well as ample room to feed, clean and shelter the family's horses. A wrap-around porch provides outdoor seating to enjoy views of the main house as well as grazing horses. A main living area, with a 12′ ceiling, contains a kitchenette and eating area. Off of the living area is a private bedroom and bath and storage area. There is an internal access door from the living area into the main barn aisle. Off of the aisle are five stalls, a tack and wash room and stairs to the upper level hay loft. Custom designed 5'6″ wide sliding barn doors flank each side of the aisle. An extended covered area off of the stalls allows exterior cover for the horses as well as storage for tractors and equipment. We replicated the stone and wood facade of the main house to allow the two structures to compliment each other. The design translated into a beautiful barn that is enjoyed by humans and horses alike!

Berea Rovers Appeal To The Municipality To Not Shut Down Their Doors To Make Way For The Multi Million Rand Liverpool Academy In Durban!
The Berea Rovers are appealing for public support as they face losing the premises they have occupied for over 38 years to make way for the Liverpool Football Club in Durban. City manager, S'bu Sithole, has granted permission to sign a 30-year lease agreement with Hoy Park Management, a partner of the British Premier League club to develop the 14.334ha King's Park precinct which Rovers shares.
The Academy, which will see Liverpool FC coaches travel to South Africa to deliver the programmes, is planned to begin in December. A permanent "player development centre" will be based in Durban, which will provide a year-round opportunity for local young, talented players to develop their skills through coaching practices that Liverpool football legends have been through.
The municipality's value estimate of the land is R204 million. Once developed the site would host a hotel where talented local children between the ages of five and 14 would live while they are schooled and trained to play "The Liverpool Way".
According to the proposed lease agreement, the rental on the lease for Liverpool would be only R4 300 a month excluding VAT for the first year, escalating by 9 percent a year for the next four years.
Lack Of Consultation
The contested site is currently occupied by Berea Rovers who have been in existence for 130 years and have pumped about R10 million into facilities at the precinct over the years. Berea Rovers, as with nearly 40 other sports clubs in the city, has been on a month-to-month lease with the municipality, which in 2004 stopped renewing leases on council property to sporting bodies, pending a policy review.
Thembinkosi Ngcobo, Head of Parks and Recreation in eThekwini responded to the concerns of sports clubs by stating that they would not be given long term leases unless they transform. He went on to say that the the city would not give sports clubs long-term leases without them showing a concrete plan of how they intended to transform and build greater "social cohesion and economic development" around their sites.
Many other sport clubs around the city who are also granted month to month leases have come out in support of the Berea Rovers. Sports clubs have said that the city's month to month policy has hindered development plans as there is no security of not being shut down. Sports clubs are hesitant to upgrade their facilities as they may not benefit from it.
David Lindsay, president of the Lahee Park Bowls Club said, "Who would want to invest in assets when you don't know how long you have on your site? We are living on tenterhooks. We need to maintain our club to ensure we keep on growing the sport but it is a worry having only a month-to-month lease, because at any time they can tell us to pack up and go."
The final date of when the Berea Rovers will need to vacate has not been confirmed yet.

Microsoft is also in a legal battle with the U.S. government, but this fight deals with consumer privacy information that can only be accessed in another country. In December 2013, the U.S. government obtained a search warrant requesting information about an email user for an investigation apparently involving drugs and money laundering.[1] Microsoft is refusing to cooperate because the data in question is stored in Ireland, and the company argues that the U.S. government cannot force it to hand over data stored outside American soil.[2]
Users of a Microsoft e-mail account can, with a user name and a password, send and receive email messages as well as store messages in personalized folders. E-mail message data include both content information- the message and subject line. Also non-content information such as: the sender address, the recipient address, and the date and time of the transmission.
Microsoft stores e-mail messages sent and received by its users in its datacenters, once of which is of special interest to the U.S. government. In 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice served Microsoft with a subpoena and a search for emails that live in a data center in Ireland.[3] One of Microsoft's arguments is that for data held overseas, the U.S. government should abide by its mutual legal assistance treaties, which are agreement between the United States and foreign countries that typically require the requesting government to be in compliance with other government's laws.[4] Irish law requires authorization from an Irish District Court judge to obtain e-main content from a provider.[5]
The judge in the case, James Francis, agreed with the government, arguing that the search warrant issued in this case applies to data in Ireland because it's more of a hybrid between a warrant and a subpoena. What this means: the request would be legal since subpoenas have reach outside the U.S.[6]
Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see what occurs when this case goes on appeal, as it has huge implications for the privacy of U.S. citizens who use American internet services.

Energy waste, and the costs associated with it, can be the bane of a multi-family investor's existence. Mike Mulqueen explains how smart energy management can help
Dalia Barsoum President and Principal Broker of Streetwise Mortgages explains the factors investors need to consider before requesting a mortgage payment deferral
Get to know your property management company As an investor you should use the same due diligence in getting to know your property management company as you would in choosing an investment. When you negotiate a contract for service, it is important to: " Ask questions that will reveal the values of the company and their ability to balance owner and tenant priorities. " Request references. Solid property management companies will be happy to provide tenant, investor, and character references. " Tour the property with the manager, where possible. Does the manager present in a professional manner? The way in which they present to you will be how they present to your tenants and vendors, inspectors and others. " Listen for how the manager describes the techniques for optimizing the potential for the property, like vacancy management, curb appeal, and unit showings and rentability. " Understand the processes the company will follow to transition management from your current company to their company. You will want this to be as professional, seamless and efficient as possible for you and your tenants. " Fully understand what service you get for your management fees and what routine costs you can expect above the management fee. Get a price list for regular maintenance activities. Find out about the monitoring of large renovation projects. While project management usually costs additional fees, you will want to know that the company has the capacity to monitor a project, keeping your costs under control and you informed as it progresses " Listen for how the company follows the rules. How do they work with government agencies, the municipality, and inspectors? A straightforward, honest and responsive approach to the rules by your management company will ensure that your asset is protected and you won't experience surprises. It makes sense that if the company is willing to avoid the explicit rules and regulations of the industry; they are less likely to comply with your expectations as an owner. Read your monthly management report thoroughly It is important that property management companies provide you a comprehensive and timely monthly report. The report should be a complete record of the activity on your properties, including rental income, professional services and management fees. Look for consistency in the statement from month to month, getting a sense of tenant activity, security deposit collection and refunds, and vendors that are used routinely. The report should include everything you need for preparing your annual tax return. Randomly audit financial activities The property manager is collecting and spending your money. While it doesn't have to be onerous, you should do some random checks to make sure that this is happening appropriately. Occasionally consider the following: " Ask the company to provide you some of the of the vendor receipts. " Calling up a vendor to confirm that they were at your property. Ask if the bill was paid. " Check on vacancies to ensure that the unit is really vacant. This can be done by an unexpected visit or calling a tenant in the building. Tenants usually know whether someone is living in a unit. " Review security deposit records. Call a previous tenant to see that they got their deposit back. If deposits are kept at a government agency, call the agency to ensure that a specific deposit is on fi le. " Ask for before and after pictures of renovations done in a particular unit. Monitor tenant activity and satisfaction Your property management company should have solid processes for attracting and maintaining tenants. This is about much more than a 'For Rent' sign and an ad online or in the local newspaper. Tenants in an area get to know the property management companies that treat them fairly, manage the properties well, and what properties they manage in the area. They will move to properties managed by a company they like. These are some things that you can do to ensure your tenants are looked after: " Call the company unexpectedly to test their responsiveness. Check how long it takes them to get back to you. If the company doesn't respond quickly to the owner, it is unlikely they are responding to tenant needs in a timely way. " Call a tenant to check that the maintenance you paid for in their unit was completed." Ask a new tenant to describe their unit rental and move in experience. Was the staff from the property management company professional in appearance and demeanour? Did they explain the lease, the security deposit, and how to contact the company 24 hours per day? Was the unit clean? " Look for a balance of fairness and firmness with tenants. From time to time, good tenants get into difficult spots. Listen for how the manager works with the tenant to give them some leeway, gets what is required - the rent or a clean unit, etc., and ensures that your income potential is optimized. Maximizing the efficiency and revenues of your properties is key. Establishing a solid relationship with your property management company and monitoring this relationship will ensure that the company is putting your assets to work for you.

Diabetes Support Groups
One way to help yourself is to get involved in diabetes organizations. Your participation in these groups helps in a couple of ways. First, you meet others with some of the same problems and concerns you have. You learn from each other's experiences. You problem-solve together. You learn that you are not the only one who feels as you do or has been through what you've been through. You may even make lifelong friendships.
Diabetes AdvocacyHave you ever felt discriminated against in the workplace because you have diabetes? If an employer has ever refused to allow you time to take insulin or test your blood, to eat meals or snacks, or to store necessary diabetes supplies in your work area, you know what it's like to be made to feel different as a result of a medical condition or made to feel as if your condition makes you somehow less competent in the workplace. People with diabetes and other medical conditions have support. Diabetes is considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The purpose of the Act is to eliminate discrimination against people with disabilities; it became effective in July 1992 for employers with 25 or more employees and July 1994 for employers with 15 or more employees. The Act ensures equal employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
In addition, it states that "reasonable accommodation" must be made for persons with disabilities. Reasonable accommodation includes making existing facilities accessible to employees with disabilities; restructuring a job; modifying the work schedule; acquiring new or modifying existing equipment or devices; and modifying examinations, training materials, or policies to make them appropriate for individuals with disabilities. The employer, however, need not provide accommodation if doing so would be significantly difficult or expensive (it would incur "undue hardship"). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) investigates complaints of violations of the Act.
The Act protects your rights in the workplace. You can help by observing these tips for managing diabetes in the workplace.
- Make sure someone knows you have diabetes. Your condition does not need to be public information, but someone -- a supervisor or coworker -- should know you have diabetes, how you treat it, and where you keep your supplies.
- Tell your employer what you need to manage diabetes. If you need to eat a snack or take your lunch at a certain time, for example, let your employer know this. Most employers try to be accommodating.
- If altering a work schedule proves difficult or problematic, you may be able to change your diabetes management schedule. For example, if taking lunch at noon is not possible or desirable (maybe the lunch hour is the busiest time of day at your job), you may be able to adjust your insulin or add a snack in the morning.
- If possible, keep your diabetes supplies in a desk drawer or somewhere close to your work site. If you need to test during the day, you may be able to test quickly and inconspicuously at your desk and get on with your work.
- If you believe you are being discriminated against because you have diabetes, call the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission office at 1-800-669-4000.
Of course, it's important to stress that living with diabetes means living a full life and enjoying all that is has to offer.

Anyone using this? Just want some tips pointers of something I haven't read or seen on YouTube.
This is a fantastic way of seeing structure and fish under and ahead of your boat. You know now if fish are under or around your boat. Livescope with a Garmin Fish finder, that is compatible with that Garmin Chart plotter. Go to Garmin.com , to find what units are compatible with LiveScope, Garmin is a VERY EASY unit to understand and setup. Youtube will also be a good source to learn about operation and set up. I cannot say enough how much fishing will improve for you. You need to buy LiveScope separately......$1500 and Garmin unit...$1000 and up. The Unit will also come with a transducer to show you regular sonar and down vu, as well as side view.
Hope this helps you out

Every boy in Texas dreams of owning his own Ranch. When Texan, Racer, and All-American bad ass Carroll Shelby made it big he bought 220,000 acres of West Texas desert near the big bend in the Rio Grande. If the stories are true (and I really want them to be) Carroll and Co would fly in a DC-3 full of show girls for wild parties, desert races, good eating and whatever one cares to do far away from everything. It's remote, but if you're in the neighborhood you might as well stop by.
I found myself on the desolate road that runs alongside the west boundary of the ranch and couldn't resist taking a look. Unless you own property on the ranch, the only place to visit is the lodge. Although only 16 miles, the drive takes close to 30 minutes at the posted speed. The lodge is really just a gift shop and real estate sales office, although they do have a nice collection of Ranch memorabilia. The "Private Property" signs are a bargain at only $2.50 each for big bad bunny logo.
The women working in the lodge were friendly, but couldn't answer any of my questions. When did Carroll sell the ranch? Are there any buildings or trails left from his ownership? Where did he land the DC-3? The most comprehensive story seems to be Bill Neale's account of creating the bunny logo and it's subsequent use in racing. He also sells bunny merchandise that's probably far higher quality than the ranch offers.
With no answers at the ranch, I looked elsewhere. The Terlingua Ghost town sits on the same road about 20 miles away. This charming turn of the century boom town is kept up by a few hundred people who also find it charming and enjoy being far away from people with more important things to do. It's not like other "ghost towns" I've seen before. The remains of tiny dwellings made from earth or stacked stones are scattered everywhere among the rusted parts of mining and farm equipment. It almost looks like the current inhabitants have pieced together abandoned dwellings from whatever was laying around and decided to stay for a while. There's a store, two restaurants and a cafe that serve tourists and locals without feeling like they've improved the place too much. Its a ghost town that's very much alive.
The Terlingua ghost town hosts a huge Chili cook off every November, which Carroll helped get started back in 1967. There's also a Shelby car event with drag races at a nearby airstrip every year. I'm not sure it's the BeaterBlog type of crowd but that's never stopped us before. Matt, want to drive the CSX-T down to Texas next summer? Maybe I can get the van sorted by then and slap some Shelby logos on her.

The 3rd grade BookMunch group read Little Dog, Lost in December and on Thursday, December 12, at lunch, the group spoke with the author, Marion Dane Bauer, by Skype. The students asked many questions about her writing process and how she decided on the character names and places in the story. Mrs. Bauer graciously answered each question and then surprised the students by bringing out her two dogs to meet the students, both of which she had rescued. Student's learned why the book is written in short prose and that the style is easier for student's to read but also more difficult to write! Here are some photographs from the event:

Question: Dear Luise: I would like to read your thoughts about an afterlife, if you don't mind. I am not of any particular religious persuasion but I have been giving it a lot of thought lately and would like to incorporate the thinking of people I respect. You are one of them. Thanks, Mark
Answer: Dear Mark: Well, that's quite a compliment. I really appreciate your vote of confidence.
Through my long life, my personal perceptions and beliefs about an afterlife have evolved into a kind of comfort-zone of my own making. Part of it has come from my experience as a nurse. It's a profession that requires the acceptance of death as part of your day-to-day interfacing with patients and their families. I also lost my Mom and two sons in my twenties, so death just kept getting closer and closer to home.
The very fact that this subject interests you is probably an indication that you aren't convinced that when it's over…it's over. That's an assumption on my part. I have to make them often as I interact with the people who write to me. I would also guess that you are fairly young…which is a great time to start pondering these issues.
I have read many books through the years on this subject, of which three stand out as books I would recommend to others. The first is Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' "On Death and Dying". It's a groundbreaker because it contains no basic premises stemming from organized religion. She was a psychiatrist and she reported near-death experiences that had a recognizable pattern.
The second is "Testimony of Light" by Helen Greaves. A former Episcopalian nun contacted her after dying. The book is an account of the nun's experience. Sanctioned by the Church of England, it is a very interesting concept to wrap your mind around.
The last one, I just recently read and it is perhaps the most challenging. The name of it is "Aaron's Crossing" by Linda Dewey. You might want to see what these three books offer you in new perspectives and a broader view.
I guarantee these authors will set you to thinking. You sound delightfully open-minded. I can't imagine a finer attribute when pondering the question "what comes next" and other related thoughts about an afterlife. Blessings, Luise

This is the most common type of the ketogenic diet with a carbohydrate intake limited to 20-30 grams of net carbs a day (although the exact amount depends on the individual). The SKD is very similar to the Induction phase of the Atkins Diet. The majority of people on the keto diet follow the SKD, the variations (targeted or cyclical) are more suited to athletes or individuals with specific health goals who have already been following the SKD for some time.
