4 1 Introduction All organisations have a legal obligation to protect their boards, committees and personnel, both paid and volunteer from risk while they are working, in other words a duty of care. Additionally, individuals in their roles as volunteers have a duty of care to others with whom they come into contact (colleagues, clients etc) through their formal volunteering roles. Common law duty of care obliges an organisation and an individual to avoid carelessly causing personal injury or damage to property. Adequate insurance cover is an integral part of this duty of care and as such the following points need to be considered when an organisation is looking for protection. 1.1 Risks to volunteers The risks facing volunteers will vary depending on the type of work undertaken. Some examples of risks faced could include: Personal injury resulting from accidents that occur during their voluntary work, Personal injury resulting from physical assault, Claims for damages arising from accidents that result in personal injury or damage to property and for which the volunteer can be held responsible. Loss of, or damage to the personal property of a volunteer and claims for compensation for losses resulting from negligent or inappropriate advice given by a volunteer working for a volunteer agency. 1.2 Negligent acts Client/user groups could also be exposed to risk due to the negligent act of a volunteer. Duty of care ensures that both client/user group and volunteers are protected. If a volunteer acts negligently, improperly, incompetently or works in inappropriate ways with a client/user of services and their work has been sanctioned by the organisation, that organisation could be held liable. In order to minimise risks organisations need to implement risk management strategies across the whole organisation. A major plank of risk management for volunteers is insurance coverage. 2 Advocacy and advances on volunteer insurance issues Volunteering Australia has recognised the relevance of insurance in its seminal publications, for example: National Agenda on Volunteering: Beyond the International Year of Volunteers. In the development of the National Agenda on Volunteering (2001) community, volunteerinvolving organisations, business and government were called to work together and adopt actions under six major objectives. Under the fourth objective to: Acknowledge that the Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 4 of 11
5 activity of volunteering is not without cost and develop means by which Australian volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations are supported and funded to provide valuable services, outcome 4.1 sought: Access to affordable and adequate volunteer and public liability insurance for volunteerinvolving organisations. National Standards for Involving Volunteers in Not for Profit Organisations. Volunteering Australia published in the same year National Standards for Involving Volunteers in Not for Profit Organisations. Under Standard 2, Management Responsibility, Criteria 2.5 and 2.6 (p.23) risk management is identified as part of a volunteer management best practice framework and Standard 4, Work and the Workplace, Criteria 4.16, (p. 37) specifically addresses the question of insurance: Does the organisation adequately insure its volunteers for personal injury and liability and inform volunteers accordingly? In the recent review of the National Standards, Phase 1, comments were received stating that it would be more beneficial to include more useful examples to guide understanding of complex issues such as insurance. 2.1 Sector responses In 2005/2006, Volunteering Australia worked with AON to develop the Volunteers Vital Pack, a range of comprehensive, cost effective insurance products and services for volunteers. This relationship and the work Volunteering Australia has undertaken with members of the volunteering infrastructure ensured a greater awareness of risk management and insurance cover as an issue for volunteering. Members of the volunteering infrastructure continue to recommend that volunteer involving organisations seek professional advice in determining what cover is available and appropriate for their needs. Some of the types of insurance organisations are encouraged to consider are listed in Table 1. Examples of insurance cover applicable to volunteers Personal Accident Insurance Public Liability Insurance This type of insurance would normally cover loss of income or if the volunteer is not earning would cover other items such as home help or student tutorial assistance. This insurance does not cover volunteers for any out of pocket expenses following accidental injury, disability or death as due to restrictions under the Federal Legislation private insurers are not allowed to cover gaps in Medicare payments. *See note below this table To cover an organisation including its Directors, paid Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 5 of 11
6 Directors and Officers Liability Professional Indemnity Insurance Motor Vehicle Comprehensive Insurance. Motor Vehicle Non Owned workers and volunteer for its legal liability to third parties for personal injury or property damage caused by an occurrence in connection with the insured organisation s business activities. To cover an organisation including its Directors, paid workers and volunteers to compensate committee members and office bearers for loss, including legal costs, where they have committed a wrongful act in the running of the organisation. To compensate the organisation, including its Directors, paid workers and volunteers, for loss incurred through a claim made against the organisation for breach of professional duty arising from negligence, errors, omissions, defamation, loss of records or documents, dishonest acts etc by volunteer or paid staff. The Motor Vehicle Comprehensive is designed to cover vehicles which are owned by the organisation and utilised on their business for own damage to the vehicle as well as third party property damage to other vehicles or property. There is additional cover known as Motor Vehicle Non Owned where if a volunteer owns their vehicle and uses it on behalf of the business that when they claim off their own insurance company the excess can be covered in the policy Other types of insurance for organisations to consider include: Property/contents, products liability and events insurance. Table 1: Types of insurance commonly purchased by not for profit organisations for volunteers *Under a Voluntary Policy, if a volunteer is claiming reimbursement for medical expenses incurred as a direct result of injury then they must first seek to be reimbursed from their private health fund if applicable and then with medical expenses the insurance policy will only cover non Medicare medical expenses to the amount stated in the policy (after deduction of any excess) for injuries which occur during insured activities. The policy will cover fees incurred as a result of injury including but not limited to fees paid to nurses, chemists, hospitals, chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists but all of the accounts would need to be settled first and then reimbursement sought. Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 6 of 11
7 3 Legislative protection: covered or not? 3.1 Liability of volunteers Each state and territory has enacted legislation to limit the potential liability of volunteers in their roles, mostly as office bearers. In the Northern Territory for example, volunteers are not liable for personal injury caused by their actions as a volunteer unless they are grossly negligent. This has left a significant gap in the cover as anyone who has suffered an injury from a volunteer would more than likely be able to prove in a court of law that there was negligence involved. Relevant legislations include: Volunteer Protection Act 2001 (SA); Wrongs and Other Acts (Public Liability Insurance Reform) Act 2002 (Vic); Civil Liability Act 2003 (Qld); The Civil Act 2002 (NSW); Volunteer (Protection from Liability) Act 2002 (WA); Personal Injuries (Liabilities and Damages) Act 2003 (NT); Civil Law (Wrongs) Act 2002 (ACT); Civil Liability Act 2002 (Tas). A detailed review of inconsistencies or gaps in the liability protection offered to volunteers under these different legislations is beyond the scope of this paper. 3.2 Workplace legislation Inclusion of volunteers is not uniform across the range of legislation relevant to workplace rights and responsibilities which include: Occupational Health and Safety; Workers Compensation; Equal Opportunity and Anti-Discrimination. Volunteers are not covered by Workers Compensation across all states and territories (with a few exceptions eg: emergency management volunteers and certain types of volunteers in Queensland). A further detailed review of inconsistencies or gaps in the protection offered to volunteers under workplace legislations is required. 3.3 The Health Insurance Act 1973 The outcome of this Act was to provide universal health cover, allow people to take out insurance with private health insurers, and also prevent general insurance companies from providing this cover. This means that general insurance companies cannot cover volunteers Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 7 of 11
8 for expenses incurred for medical items wholly or partially covered under Medicare. For example, where a person is injured as a volunteer, working for a not for profit organisation, they can claim Medicare reimbursement but if the costs are beyond that which is prescribed by Medicare, a general insurance company cannot, in accordance with the Act, cover the gap between Medicare payment and actual fee for the medical item. The issue here is that volunteers will and most likely do incur out of pocket expenses for injury where medical attention has been necessary. 3.4 Private Health Insurance Act 2007 Under the Private Health Insurance Act 2007 and the Health Insurance Business Rules 2009 attached to the Act 1, certain insurance is not considered to be health insurance business if the insurance, whether provided by a private health insurer or other person, covers certain volunteer activity as described in the extract below. Volunteers, sporting and youth activities a person in respect of the occurrence, in relation to that person, of one of the following events: an event occurring while the person is, without payment, providing services to an educational, religious, charitable or benevolent organisation or while that person is travelling to or from the place where those services are provided; an event occurring while the person; is engaged in a sporting activity (in the capacity of a participant, adjudicator, judge, referee or umpire or in a similar capacity); or is acting as an official at, or otherwise assisting in the conduct of, a sporting activity; or is acting in his or her capacity as an elected or appointed official of a sporting organisation; or while that person is travelling to or from: that activity; or the place where that person acts in that capacity; an event occurring while the person is engaged in youth activities organised by a voluntary organisation (for example, the Girl Guides Association of Australia, the Scout Association of Australia, the Y.M.C.A. of Australia, the Y.W.C.A. of Australia or a police citizens youth club) or while that person is travelling to or from such activities. Excluding insurance that covers this type of activity from the definition of health insurance business means that a general insurer (or a private health insurer) may insure for health services benefits in the above circumstances however this cover would exclude any such cost wholly or partially covered by Medicare (see above). This is the clause in the Private Health Insurance Act that allows insurers to provide Non Medicare Medical Expenses to volunteers throughout Australia but again this is only for Non Medicare Medical Expenses 1 Private Health Insurance (Health Insurance Business) Rules 2009 Part 4 Section 15 Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 8 of 11
9 (which primarily will be physiotherapy, ostiotherapy, etc), and would not pick up anything that would under the Health Act be covered by Medicare or a Private Health Insurer. 3.5 State Government Regulations As a result of some State government regulations, for example, Victorian and NSW education regulations, volunteers who are recipients of government benefits (eg: mutual obligation) are precluded from the departments insurance protection (public liability and personal accident) ordinarily provided to volunteers in schools because they are deemed to be receiving payment. The Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development regulations define a volunteer worker as: A volunteer school worker means a person, who without payment or reward, voluntarily engages in school work. Further, Centrelink does not provide insurance for voluntary work participants and requires that an approved volunteer organisation must hold the required types of insurance that will protect volunteers participating in voluntary work. Therefore, in a situation such as with the Victorian Department of Education, volunteers who are receiving benefits are not covered by insurance by either body and may be asked to cease their volunteering. It is uncertain how many volunteers may be in this circumstance. 4 Gaps in available insurance cover 4.1 Age limits Volunteering Australia is aware that some insurers place age limitations on their policies. Examples include situations where volunteers over the age of ninety may not be eligible for volunteer insurance cover. Equally we are aware that some insurers have a more inclusive policy that requires only that volunteers are able to take direction. The Volunteers Vital Pack coverage has no age limits but the policy does state that the volunteer must be able to take direction. AON Case study: Tom was injured working as a volunteer. He believed that he was fully insured. As he lived in the country he needed to travel to the city for tests, in particular a MRI on his knee. The GP expenses left Tom with a $ debt. His local council (where he volunteers) contacted their insurance company which travelled up to discuss Tom s MRI and transport claim. A representative from the Insurer provided information about the Health Insurance Act, stating that for medical items no general insurance company could provide any gap payment between the actual medical cost and the reimbursement from Medicare. However in the interests of good faith, the insurance company did make a payment to cover the MRI and transport costs (not covered by Medicare as MRI had been performed by a private imaging Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 9 of 11
10 company). The only way all medical expenses could be covered is through a bulk billing GP and a hospital that bulk bills. The local council considered an offer to cover the gap payment (for GP expenses) but was advised that for legal reasons they could not provide this payment to Tom. 6 Who buys insurance organisations or volunteers? 6.1 Portable individual personal accident and liability Insurance While Volunteering Australia and its members encourage all organisations to protect volunteers with appropriate insurance, another option that has been under investigation for some time is the concept of portable individual personal accident and liability insurance for volunteers. Volunteering Australia recognises that volunteer activity is increasingly taking place outside the formal structures of not-for-profit organisations that can offer insurance cover for their volunteers. This increase in informal volunteering, combined with a trend for higher mobility amongst volunteers, may lead to situations where volunteers find themselves protected in certain circumstances but not others. In this context Volunteering Australia has investigated the feasibility (and desirability) of arranging a rest easy policy that would provide an individual with personal accident and liability cover in the event that no other cover was in force. Volunteering Australia has established that affordable individual volunteer personal accident and liability insurance coverage can be delivered by the insurance industry. Volunteering Australia is presently investigating the feasibility of linking this to completion of basic volunteer OH&S and Rights and Obligations orientation training that will satisfy the insurance providers requirements for establishing volunteer competency. 6.2 International visitors Many international visitors purchase personal insurance coverage that may cover loss involved in volunteer activity. Most international visitors and temporary residents do not have access to Medicare and therefore rely on private insurance to help cover the cost of hospital and medical expenses while in Australia. Such coverage can be purchased through private health providers in Australia or through international insurance companies. Due to the waiting periods for certain medical items it can be advantageous for visitors to purchase insurance prior to arriving in Australia. For instance, under Medibank visitors cannot claim for 2 months, a trip to the GP; for hospital visits the waiting period is 2 months for a new condition but 12 months for a pre existing condition; however, accident victims are covered immediately. Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 10 of 11
11 7 Conclusion Volunteer effort is conducted in a vast and diverse range of formal and informal organisational structures. Access to affordable insurance cover has improved over the past decade and there is evidence 2 that access to insurance is not a significant barrier to volunteerism in formal not-for-profit agencies. However, the changing nature of volunteering and the trend towards less formal, episodic and more mobile volunteer workforce may increasingly expose volunteers to situations where they find themselves unprotected by legislation or insurance coverage. There is need for greater harmonisation of Commonwealth and State legislation to ensure that all volunteers, regardless of the circumstances of their volunteer effort, enjoy universal protection against loss. 2 Volunteering Australia 2009, National Survey of Volunteering Issues Volunteering Australia 2010 Page 11 of 11

App-V 5: Useful Stuff for the App-V Professional (I hope!)
So I've been receiving a lot of feedback on ways to enhance App-V toolkits for customers and their in-house troubleshooting. I've received usually two kinds of feedback on previous articles such as http://blogs.technet.com/b/gladiatormsft/archive/2013/11/13/app-v-on-operational-troubleshooting-of-the-v5-client.aspx
and http://blogs.technet.com/b/gladiatormsft/archive/2013/04/24/app-v-5-0-launching-native-local-processes-within-the-virtual-environment.aspx – 1) This is great! Can I have more?" and 2) "It's about @*#&% time!Can I have more?
Do we have a "Cached OSD" equivalent in App-V 5.0?
Remember when you were troubleshooting configuration for a virtual application in App-V 4.x? Instead of going through the trouble of modifying the OSD file at the content root, removing and republishing as well as re-streaming the application – instead you locate the application's cached OSD file and make modifications there while you do your temporary testing of adjustments to the XML configuration. The cached OSD files were located in a subdirectory of where you set the GlobalDataDirectory value in V4. Identifying which of the OSD files applied to your application could easily be achieved by viewing the properties of the application using the App-V 4 Client Admin UI.
In v5, this information will likely be stored in either the deployment configuration or the user configuration file (what we refer to as the dynamic configuration files.) To determine the source of the Deployment Configuration for a particular application, you can take advantage of PowerShell and the App-V Client API's to find the location of this information without having to know the actual GUID of the package.
$AppVPackage = Get-AppvClientPackage –name <PACKAGE>
You can then proceed to test out these changes.
How can I tell which Virtual Environment (packageconnection group) an Application is Running in?
Often on systems that are running a bunch of different virtual applications that may or may not be grouped together via connection groups (RDSCitrix Servers) you might want to verify a running process is running in the correct virtual environment. You can use the following PowerShell commands to determine the current package version and also possible connection groups (virtual environments.)
$AppVPackage = Get-AppvClientPackage –name <PACKAGE>
Start-AppVVirtualProcess cmd –AppvClientObject $AppVPackage
Get-AppvVirtualProcess | select -ExpandProperty AppvPackageData
In the example below, we use the CMD prompt to verify the version and package ID running.
How Can I tell if an Application was Running Virtualized simply by looking at a Process Monitor Log?
Any executable that is running within an App-V virtual environment will have the module "AppVEntSubsystems64.dll" injected into the process. So all you have to do when viewing a process monitor trace is double-click on any event containing the process you need to check. When the "Event Properties" dialog box appears, Click on "Module" tab and look for AppVEntSubsystems64.dll.

Fifty-two years ago, in 1962, my father dropped me off at the Narmada hostel. The Asst. Warden, Mr. Saha, sat in the quadrangle assigning rooms. I was surprised to find that the hostel was still not complete: no electricity, no water, rooms still being painted, etc. I had a friend from my school days who was a year ahead at IIT. He invited me to stay in his Krishna hostel room for a few days till the Narmada hostel was ready. I foolishly accepted his offer only to become the target of seniors trolling the hallways looking for freshmen. I had to sing and dance for many senior groups but fortunately missed more embarrassing ragging like having to jog around campus in the moonlight in your underwear!
Soon thereafter, I became part of a group of very interesting classmates with a wide range of interests. Our discussions ranged from the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle to the uncertainties of understanding the fairer sex. Too much socialization led to my missing a First Class in the first year by one mark. Never having experienced academic failure before, this was a great shock to my ego, making me a little more studious. I managed a Merit Scholarship award the following year.
Scholastic life in those days was tough. Initially we had surprise periodicals and most of us fared poorly. Then the authorities relented and decided to announce the Saturday periodical subjects the previous evening at 5 pm. Students waited anxiously for the attendant to post the periodical announcement on the notice board and then rushed off to cram for the tests. I remember fighting sleep as I enviously watched from my hostel window the lights of the faculty quarters go off, one by one, between 10 pm and 11 pm, knowing that I still had many more hours of study. Every alternate week was workshop week. I remember we had to keep filing a huge block of steel till it became a flat plate, watched closely by the no- nonsense workshop instructor, nicknamed Baldy, who allowed us no rest breaks. I also remember carpentry workshop and my unsuccessful attempts at camouflaging my shoddy workmanship by filling gaps in joints with a mixture of glue and sawdust. I remember our having to clean the lathes in the machine shop meticulously under the watchful eye of the German foreman.
In our time at IIT, there were no supplementaries and one was held back a whole year for failing in even a non-engineering subject like German. Talking about German, reminds me of the time Prof. Klein was absent for about a week. A substitute teacher, Frau Inge Srinivasan, was deputed from Max Mueller Bhavan. Frau Inge, in her mini skirt, had the habit of hopping on to the table to teach. Classmates of other sections would cut their classes to religiously attend every single German class of Frau Inge.
As great was our trepidation in waiting for the clerk to post the weekly periodical notice on the board, so great was our joy at seeing the waterman on the hostel terrace in the evening opening up the water supply. One morning, there was absolutely no water in the bathroom. Instead of heading to classes, a large group of us marched towards the administrative building in our night suits, towels slung on our shoulders with toothbrush and paste in hand. Fortunately, the authorities realized our plight and water supply was restored without any punitive action.
I still remember some of the pranks perpetrated by our batch: A goat was found wandering around the hostel. It was fed a lot of water and locked up in Madhavan's room. When the unsuspecting Madhavan entered his room, the goat charged him knocking him into a puddle of urine. From then on, he was known as Maaaaa – dhavan! We had a number of Sardars in our batch. Once, a Sardar, who had never used shaving cream previously, was literally foaming at the mouth. Someone had squeezed shaving cream into his toothpaste tube! Surgeons who perform minimally invasive surgery are known for their skills of operating through small keyhole incisions. We had similarly skilled classmates who could rearrange the contents of any hostel room without entering it, by skillfully manipulating the contents with mosquito net rods through an open window.
In our time, life's pleasures were very simple. We had no TV, no Internet and no video games. Our common room was modest with just a table tennis table, a carom board, a music system and a few magazines. In the quadrangle of Narmada hostel we played tennis ball cricket, volleyball, badminton and tennikoit (ring tennis). Cultural events like the hostel day and intercollegiate cultural competition were great fun. I recall the foot-tapping rhythm of the aptly named student band, the Beat-X. I played the role of a bailiff in a play spoofing Erle Stanley Gardner with characters like Perry Madison and Della Sweet. The bailiff kept falling asleep, his snores interrupting court proceedings. I also remember scripting a show called Radio Jumble, where a restless student is surfing various radio stations, the audio tracks of these stations getting jumbled with humorous consequences. We took part in quiz competitions, wrote for the student magazine Campastimes, and cheered at the Pan-IIT sports meet presided over by the famed Tiger Pataudi.
As we had a few days off before this sports meet, a group of us went on a bike trip to Mahabalipuram, about 50 km away. I remember our attention being divided between the contours of the rock sculptures and those of the young ladies touring the ruins. I also remember witnessing a fantastic sunrise over the ocean. Speaking of the ocean, reminds me of weekend trips on our bikes to Elliots's beach with its beautiful clean sandy beach, manageable ocean waves and foreign women in their attractive swimsuits. I also remember a catamaran trip that a group of us took into the Indian Ocean, hardly any of us knowing how to swim, yet naively braving the huge waves that broke over us as we pushed off from shore. On this trip we landed at a leper colony run by Christian missionaries. It was a heart-rending sight to see the disfigured inmates.
NCC attendance was compulsory. After the drill, we were given a Fruitnik (fruit drink) and biscuits. Some came to NCC because of this treat. In our last year, instead of the NCC drill, we were set the task of digging the campus swimming pool. Years later, on a visit to IIT, I was thrilled to see how well the swimming pool had turned out.
My parents lived in Madras and on Saturdays, after the stressful periodicals, I would take the campus bus to the main gate on my way home to Ayanavaram. One of the bus drivers was nicknamed Stirling Moss, because of his reckless speed and sharp cornering which terrified the timid deer. My suitcase would be full of the week's washing and I looked forward to home-cooked meals. However, I always made it back to campus for the OAT movie on Sunday night. No matter how bad the movie was, the experience was great fun with the wise cracks of fellow students, cat calls at opportune moments and pelting of frontbenchers with orange peels.
A treat we cherished were movies at Safire on Mount Road (Anna Salai), a 70 mm wide-screen theater. I vividly remember its first movie showing, Cleopatra (re-named by us as Cleavagepatra). Other memorable Safire movies were Sound of Music. My Fair Lady and Lawrence of Arabia. After the movie, we would head for the Woodlands drive-in restaurant to savor masala dosas, vadas and filter coffee in green sylvan surroundings.
How were our teachers at IIT? We had brilliant gold medalist teachers, but many of them lacked good communication skills and the ability to gauge the interest and comprehension level of their students. I'm sorry to say that students often ragged some of the younger teachers mercilessly. However, we did have some memorable teachers like Prof. Koch of the Physics department who mesmerized us with his practical demonstration of concepts like the gyroscope and Prof. Krishnamurthy of the English Department who effectively communicated his love of literature as well as his affection for his students. Much of our learning came from books, classmates and the challenge of periodicals, especially the open book tests. Rote learning was discouraged and conceptual learning encouraged through such testing. Project work and laboratory exercises also helped clarify these concepts. I fondly remember the solar project that our group took up, generating steam from a parabolic reflector. I also remember the final year project of designing a hybrid IC engine that could run on diesel as well as petrol. There were no computers at IIT then and the closest we came to computers was the privilege of examining a punched data card after a lecture by a 'foreign-returned' faculty member. In spite of these drawbacks, the environment at IIT Madras was a learning environment in many ways.
After my graduation from IIT, I had the privilege of being mentored by a spiritual giant, Swami Rama of the Himalayas. However, the seeds for the spiritual journey were probably sown at IIT. There was a small temple behind Taramani Hostel. The temple priest would light an oil lamp, lock the temple and go away. Before dinner, I would frequent this temple, enjoying the peaceful vibrations, while contemplating the light flickering in the darkness. Unbeknownst to myself, the journey of inner exploration had begun.
Dr. Prakash Keshaviah graduated with a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Madras in 1967. After his graduation, he went on to do a Masters in Mechanical Engineering, a Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering and a second Masters in Physiology. You may find Part 2 of his article, describing his life after IIT Madras, on this link – https://chennai36.iitm.ac.in/life-lessons-learnt-after-graduating-from-iit-m-dr-prakash-keshaviah/

Tango Nights
I have been a ballet lover for years and have now seen Tango Nights twice. I am not sure I could see it a third time though. The dance music has an interesting mix of Tango and Argentine Tango but the music isn't blended together nicely, the changes sometimes come as a big surprise. The choreography is very modern and athletic but the females look unsure when doing various lifts, you can see the split second hesitation going into each lift. This makes me slightly nervous while watching the show. That said, if you enjoy modern ballet that isn't all tutus and tights, Tango Nights is well worth the time.

Star Trek 11
I loved Star Trek 11. After the bad reviews from some friends I had very low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the movie. The movie stays true to the original series and I laughed from beginning to end. I am sure you are not supposed to laugh but I did. The special effects are wonderful but the music score was awful.

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist
I have been looking through the various online resources available for Python and found Green Tea Press which includes How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python and Python for Software Design. I find the book informative for people who can already program but need to understand the idiosyncrasies of a new language.

My Best Gift
Lesson's Learned in 2017
A full 2017, an exciting 2018 to come, and a Christmas present I never knew I wanted!
1\ 2017 brought a big swing for Shining Moments Photography.? After reading two motivating business books and attending a marketing workshop, I redesigned my business.? What started as a hobby has grown into a business and as much time as it was consuming away from my family, I needed to start treating it like a business. 2017 was filled with stress and tears, but also a lot of laughs and joy!? There were many days I wanted to hang up my camera strap because it was "too hard" to run my own business and?I had a lot of mom-guilt days with the amount of time I was working. A 40-hour work week was looking pretty tempting. Thank you to all the amazing clients in 2017 who trusted me with their high school senior portraits, families, and professional headshots. You have been a highlight of my growing year!
2\ When I was 18, I never dreamed of the changes that would come by age 46. I don't feel "old", but there are days I've noticed my workouts don't come as easily, crows-feet really are a thing, and I don't handle my thinning hair very well 🙁
3\?That leads to #3:: Taking a chance on something new… I tried the product, Monat for 90 days to see if I had the same hair results as so many others. My hair wasn?t on the same page. Go figure! But with me, I've learned that sometimes you have to stick it out and results will come, just a little slower.? After trying a few of their products, I am seeing results {happy dance}.? And their Rejuvenique oil…WOW!? I have some samples if you want to try some, and it's a whole lot easier than hair extensions 🙂
And #4?
4\ So thankful for my family, both near & far. Time didn't seem fast at 18, but now it's moved to the fast track and spending more time with my kiddos before they leave on their life adventures is becoming more important everyday.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."? -Ferris Bueller
When you?re building something you love to do, you'll have up?s & down's, critics, and all-around bummer days. But there's a lot of fun, excitement, and SUCCESS ready & waiting!
Cheers to your 2018 success, happy days, and all the SPARKLE in-between!!!
Oops, I have a #5
5\ Did you guess what that gift was yet? My Little Guy gave me a head massager, "For when you get those really bad headaches, Mom".? It sits at my desk to remind me that even on my biggest-bummer-days, I have two beautiful, healthy, and loving kids, a fantastic husband, and amazing family and friends, and that can make any day Shine Bright!
CHEERS & SPARKLES to your 2018

Thickening up that Mustache – good undergrowth improvement as well.
0 Let's Grow a Beard – Week Seven
Noah Adams - of the Dirty Bourbon River Show - grows a beard online - Week 7
New Orleans Big Brass Circus Rock Music
Noah Adams - of the Dirty Bourbon River Show - grows a beard online - Week 7
Saturday, October 16th you need to be here.
Ok, so here's how it is: Just because there's less oil from the BP spill floating around now doesn't mean that that shit is over. It's right around now that we're starting to feel the real effects of this great misdeed. Tourism – the unfortunate lifeblood of our fair city of New Orleans – is super low this fall – restaurants closin, less drinkin', Saints ain't doing so good – and it's trickling into the families. Less money = less food, poorer education for the kids. That's some fucked up shit.
Let's help fix that shit.
Coleman Jernigan has helped to organize a coalition of friends, musicians, and advocates to assist the United Way of Greater New Orleans to host a day of benefit concerts at The Howlin' Wolf and Howlin' Wolf Den in the Warehouse District of New Orleans.
And that shit is gonna be bangin'. Check out this lineup:
Howlin' Wolf's Den SideStage

1:30 Ben Diegnan
2:15 Margie Perez
3:15 Alexis Marceaux
4:15 Lynn Drury
5:15 Coyotes
6:15 Cortland Burke
7:15 Andrew Duhon
8:15 Justin Trawick
Howlin' Wolf MainStage
2:15 Coleman Jernigan Project
3:00 Matt DeOrazio and Sweet Jones
3:45 M@ Peoples Collective
4:30 Dee 1
5:15 Casey Robinson Band
6:00 Chris Aaron "Old Energy" Trailer
6:15-7:00pm Dirty Bourbon River Show
7:00 Michelle Mangione
8:00 Jackson Wetherbee Band
9:00 Hot 8 Brass Band
10:15 The Generational's
11:30 New Orleans Indie Rock All Stars
Now that's a line-up. That's a lot of really good music. For a really good cause. The lady playing after us wrote a song with Grace Slick. You should definitely come on out.
Tix only $15 in advance. $20 day of.
20 acts. 2 stages. Saturday, October 16th – 905 South Peters St. in New Orleans.
Come support something good, and hear something amazing.
New Orleans burlesque + Japanese torso robots
Oh yeah, yessir indeed, quick couple of things…
Tonight – like every Tuesday – come see the beautiful girls of the Big Busk! Burlesque dance their pretty little hearts out at the Howlin Wolf's Den with yours truly playin' the musica – here's some pics from our recent shows:
Yup… looks fun, don't it? Shows start at 9:30 & 10:30 – Tix just $7 – $5 with student id – 905 S. Peters, New Orleans
And check out this weird shit:
Yup, up to no good indeed…
Dirty Bourbon River Show play a musician's clinic at the Big Top on 1638 Clio St. in New Orleans from 5-7pm on October 8th, 2010
An update on the October 2010 doings of New Orleans vaudeville rock band the Dirty Bourbon River Show
Hello everybody – new month, new weather – time to get the ball rolling again. Couple of things we're working on:
1) Our 3rd album – Volume Two. Just finished mapping out another song for this beast, titled "Mad" (check it here). Have about 8 out of 10 songs started. Tracking a few of them down at the Music Shed on the 23rd (thanks Elizabeth!). This album is really shaping out – and I'm really happy with how our individual sound is developing.
2) October Tour. Slipping out of NOLA for a minute at the end of the month to play a few shows & festivals in the Carolinas and Virginia with our dear friends Holy Ghost Tent Revival. Got insurance seats in the van now (just need seatbelts). Can't express how f'in excited I am for this run. Yargh.
3) Causes. Playing a clinic for the children of the Big Top on the 8th, then a gulf spill aid festival called WarehouseFest 2010, then closing out the month with Take the Lake festival on the 30th in Wilmington, NC.
4) My uncle – Bryan Adams – died last Thursday. He was a great man and supporter of the Dirty Bourbon River Show – if you remember back to our Kickstarter project last may – he was the largest of our donors – donating $667. Don't ask how he came to that number; he was a wild, and incalculable man. A great American. Everything all rolled into one. Check the obit here.
RIP Uncle B.

District Court Order Authorizing Process Server to Serve Post-Judgment ProcessFebruary 4, 2011
Enforcement of judgments in federal court compels the judgment creditor to take many steps in order to engage the marshal or a process server. Many marshals decline service of a garnishment and instruct the judgment creditor to use a process server. The practice in most districts is that the judgment creditor must obtain an order from the district court authorizing the process server to serve the enforcement. This is a requirement in several districts of California.
Judgment Debtor Won't Pay? Seek an Assignment of Funds Held in Their Attorney's Trust Account.January 26, 2011
When faced with a judgment debtor who is a defendant in multiple cases, there is a high probability that they have turned over significant funds to their attorneys from which to pay out settlements in the various matters.
Such was the case with Asbestos Corporation Limited (ACL), a Canadian corporation that is frequently sued in the United States for personal injuries related to, you guessed it, asbestos.
Believing that ACL had deposited significant funds with the Pennsylvania law firm of Goldfein & Joseph, the judgment creditors obtained an assignment order which then allowed them to seek a turnover of funds held by the judgment debtor's attorneys.
Civil Disentitlement as a Remedy in the Post Judgment SettingJanuary 26, 2011
In the case of Garza v. Asbestos Corporation Limited, the judgment creditors faced the uphill battle of collecting against a judgment debtor located in Canada.
When the judgment debtor (ACL) failed to respond to post-judgment discovery, the judgment creditors moved to have ACL disentitled from responding to any further motions in the case.
The basis of the disentitlement was the simple notion that if a party avails itself to the courts they must play by the rules. A party who is in contempt cannot participate in further proceedings until they comply with the court's orders.
City of San Francisco v. EsmasDecember 20, 2010
In City of San Francisco v. Esmas, the City of San Francisco faced the uphill task of unwinding multiple fraudulent conveyances.
After the city obtained a judgment against the defendants for running an illegal "flophouse", the defendants transferred the property through a series of transactions which left the chain of title hopelessly tangled.
The following documents provide insight into the multiple steps used by the city to unwind the fraudulent conveyances and sell the property free and clear of the debtors' interest.
First, the city obtained a Restraining Order. Next a receiver was appointed. The receiver was then able to sell the property. The Sheriff Sale Order, as well as the Order Allowing Access to Property, Second Restraining Order, and Amended Sale Order can be viewed by clicking on the preceding links.
Ultimately the fraudulent conveyees appealed the order. You can view the Appellate Decision here.
This case provides the reader with a narrative commencing from the first restraining order to the appellate decision, which is a rarity in fraudulent conveyances. The seminal aspect of this case is that the trial court vacated six separate post judgment transfers in a post judgment trial. The court found that the debtor had made a series of fraudulent conveyances and vacated all of them .
Assignment Orders in Federal Court as a Method For Collecting Out of State AssetsDecember 20, 2010
Assignment OrdersDecember 20, 2010
Assignment orders are one method of reaching monies which are owed to the judgment debtor by third parties.
Below are two assignment orders, the first order is a general assignment of all rights to payment owed to the judgment debtor. This order can be sent to third parties along with a "Pay me, not them letter". An additional advantage to assignment orders is that they can be sent to third parties without the need of being formally served by a process server or sheriff. These orders can be sent out by mail, fax, or even email, meaning that there are much less cost prohibitive. The second order specifically reaches funds held by factors.
Further Assignment Order Reaching Funds Held By Factors
The successful use of an assignment order can often lead to settlement.

It's impossible to avoid hurt feelings during a breakup, but there are ways to choreograph a romantic exit without inflicting fatal emotional wounds. Begging, blaming and badmouthing give breakups a bad name, but you can change the game. Whether you're the one ending the relationship, or your lover is leaving you, handle a breakup with dignity and respect by accepting that the romance is over and creating a situation that allows each of you to speak your piece.
Step 1
Set the scene. If you're the one breaking off the relationship, choose an appropriate time and an appropriate place. Doing the deed when your partner is mid-bite during dinner in a crowded restaurant is bound to elicit an uncomfortable response. Ask your mate to meet you somewhere more private; a neutral location, such as a quiet spot in the park or along the shoreline, might help you both feel more comfortable.
Step 2
Be honest about the reasons you're leaving. While it's important to keep it brief and to the point, your partner deserves an explanation. Avoid comments that might sting; instead of saying "You're too boring," soften the blow with phrases such as "We don't share enough interests."
Step 3
Don't get sucked into the blame game. It's a breakup, not another opportunity to fight or discuss the problems in your relationship. If you're the person being left, there's most likely nothing you can do to change your partner's mind. In view of that fact, refrain from creating a scene by arguing until the bitter end.
Step 4
Strive for closure. The sure path to avoiding nasty breakups is ensuring that both of you have the chance to say what you need to say. If you're the one who's leaving, allow your partner to ask questions and answer them clearly and kindly. Listen to your partner's concerns with compassion; this makes it more likely that you'll break up smoothly, without creating serious bitterness or animosity.
Step 5
Wish each other well. Remember how you felt about each other when you first met and fell in love. Draw on that feeling and allow it to surpass the temptation to lash out with a snide comment or abrupt departure. When you end a relationship on a good note, you pave the way for the possibility of friendship in the future.
More Articles
- If you're ending the relationship and your partner tries to beg you to give it another chance, don't be swayed. Remind yourself that you've ridden it out as long as you possibly could. Be gentle, but stick to your plan.
- Badmouthing your ex after the fact is bad breakup etiquette. If you managed to break up the right way, you'll sabotage your efforts by gossiping after you've parted ways. Your words will likely make it back to your ex. If people ask why you broke up, say as little as possible.

SLASH Says Seeing AXL ROSE Perform With AC/DC Was 'Awesome': 'He Pulled It Off And It Was Great'
During a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times about his new solo album, "Living The Dream", GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash spoke at length with writer Clay Marshall about a number of topics. Some select "outtakes" appear below (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).
On whether there's a dream "guest star" situation for him equivalent to Axl Rose touring with AC/DC:
Slash: "I can't think of anything off the top of my head. The Axl-doing-AC/DC thing, I went and checked that out, and it was awesome. I was probably as skeptical as anybody because of the iconic status of the band, and he pulled it off and it was great. I'm probably a little bit more intimidated about the idea of having to fill someone's shoes — someone that I look up to or had a big influence on me. If I was going to get that phone call, I'd want to do it in a band that no one would expect me to be in."
On his new recording facility, Snakepit Studios:
Slash: "It's nice to have a spot that's yours, and you're not under the gun for lockouts or that kind of thing, where you can just go in and the only people around are yourself and your tech and your producer and engineer, whatever it is, and just be able to hang out all day without any time constrictions. That is definitely cool."
On his sobriety:
Slash: "I was always passionate about guitars and music, and that's really at the end of the day, along with a couple other little things, [what] really saved me. I'm really fortunate, because for a lot of people, their only inspiration came from using. I didn't have that problem, so when I came out of it, I got really into playing and getting better at what I was doing. The only thing I've noticed the difference is, I tend to play with more energy and a lot faster than I did back when I was drunk — which led to some great long notes, but…"
On the defibrillator he still has in his chest:
Slash: "I had the option to leave it in or take it out, but taking it out meant an operation where they were going to have to disconnect the electric wire from my heart. I was like, 'Eh, just leave it in.' But I'm in good health. I haven't had any issues like that since basically 2002. That was the last incident. It was just because I never explained to the doctor when they put it in — you have to know the lowest threshold for your heartbeat and what's your highest, and I didn't take into account the adrenaline from performing, so it was set at certain place. When I'd go out and get going, playing, it would kick in, so I had it adjusted and I didn't have that problem again."
On whether he still gets excited playing iconic venues in his Los Angeles hometown:
Slash: "There's still that sort of feeling like when you were a kid, and all those places you sort of looked on with that dreamy sort of [perspective]. That never really totally leaves, no matter how many times you play there. I remember with GUNS, just recently playing The Forum, it still holds that allure from when you were young and fantasized about playing those venues."
On the best advice he received from AEROSMITH's Joe Perry:
Slash: "The only piece of real, sort of direct advice he ever gave me was way back in 1988, I think it was, when he told me. I called him up from Japan at one point to tell him that Izzy [Stradlin] was in a bad way. I think he thought I was talking about Izzy like I was talking about myself, but using Izzy. He was like, 'I'll tell you right now — he needs to get help, but then if you do that, don't come back to me if you fuck up. I'm not here for that. It's not a destination, it's a journey,' which is a classic Alcoholics Anonymous line. That's always sort of stuck with me. Other than that, Joe's not really what I would consider an advice-giver. That's one of the reasons I like him so much — he's a wealth of knowledge, but he's not sort of telling you what you should do."
On his past comments that being a rock star is "an intersection of who you are and who you want to be":
Slash: "For me, I think that really having a perspective on it now, when I was a kid coming up, with the exception of the top hat, I was exactly the same [as I am now]. Being Slash the guitar player is an outlet for me that Slash the regular person on the street, day-to-day, there's an extension of that that I could never be as myself, but it's very relative. In other words, the guitar's that outlet that sitting here, I don't have."
On his feature film production company, Slash Fiction:
Slash: "I've got four different movies in different stages of development right now, so that's a whole other thing that I'm juggling all this at the same time. I love accomplishing shit, so it's great, because it's all moving and it's all sort of pointed in a direction of getting done or arriving at a positive place. They're all really great scripts and I've got two deals done and I've got two pending. They're horror/thriller. The thing with me is really good, intelligent, story-driven [and] character-driven dramas that have a scary twist to them. It's not slasher movies; it's not gore. That's fun for me because it's something outside of music that I'm still involved with music because there's a score, and if I can get to a point of doing a couple movies a year and just have a steady thing — they don't have to be huge or anything — that's exciting, so that's something I'm looking forward to."
On his goals for 2019 and beyond:
Slash: "Next year is all touring [with THE CONSPIRATORS], but going beyond that, obviously I'm not going to not mention wanting to do a GUNS record along the way. It's not a personal challenge or anything, but I would love to see a GUNS record get done and have it be, to us, really great. That would be awesome. I'm looking forward to THE CONSPIRATORS tour. I'm really happy with the record. For the most part, that's it — do this tour, let's hope for a GUNS thing, let's just keep it all going."
Slash released "Living The Dream", his fourth solo album (and third with Myles Kennedy and THE CONSPIRATORS), on September 21 via his own label, Snakepit Records, in partnership with Roadrunner Records.

Labour: War On Cyber Crime Will Need More Government Money
Labour shadow minister for defence Russell Brown tells TechWeek more funds will be required
The opposition believes the government will have to spend more money on fighting cyber crime, due to the escalating nature of threats, shadow defence minister Russell Brown MP told TechWeekEurope today.
However, money is tight and Labour is not being drawn into slamming the Coalition, as many others have done, for not spending enough on addressing the problem. And Labour has not yet outlined any real policies on fighting Internet crime, despite recognising its importance.
The government has allocated £650 million for its Cyber Security Strategy. Last month, even those within the Coalition said that was no way near enough to fight all the different kinds of cyber crime. Adrian Price, head of information security at the Ministry of Defence, said he would like to see the level of spending in the billions, not millions.
Brown, a Labour frontbencher leading on international security strategy, said he recognised government budgets were not going to grow massively in the coming years, but that would not stop the party doing "what we have to do".
Labour's cyber crime stance
"We've got to offer, in terms of defence, the robust security the public would expect," he said. "We are not being complacent at all.
"If you're looking to spend extra money on one thing, where on earth are you going to find it?
"It's all about money. I think more money will have to be spent, but it's about where can we make those savings so we have systems that are robust.
"I know that when I speak to businesses involved in providing some sort of cyber security, that it feels as if this… is almost a black hole, that we need to be constantly encouraging government to spend."
He said businesses needed to be encouraged to recognise the threat and protect their systems too. And Brown promised the Labour Party would draw up more definite proposals around cyber crime in the lead up to the 2015 general election.
Brown was speaking at a Westminster eForum event today, during which the Coalition's director for the Office of Cyber Security, James Quinault, talked of the cyber sabotage threat facing the UK.
He warned of "deliberate attacks to degrade or destroy critical infrastructure and people's assets".
