Intermedia: Provider Of Cloud-Based Exchange Business Email
London, UK - Founded in 1995, Intermedia is a leading provider of hosted Exchange email. A global company, they offer cloud-based solutions to UK customers from their London base.
It offers a range of cloud applications to its clients, one of which is the hosted Exchange product. Intermedia's offering is trusted by thousands of customers. Here's what is so appealing about the product:
Simple yet powerful control panel
Intermedia's hosted Exchange platform gets controlled via their HostPilot control panel. It's a system that combines all of one's Intermedia accounts. It also lets customers manage all their devices and services. Even if they're spread across several locations!
It gives a client's system administrators access to powerful features and tools. User management, service request control and more is available with the HostPilot control panel.
What's more, HostPilot is also accessible from a mobile device like a smartphone. Now it's possible to manage their Exchange server on the go with ease!
99.999% uptime guarantee
How many hosted Exchange providers can boast such a claim and back it up with proof? Intermedia guarantee their customers won't experience more than 30 seconds downtime each month!
They can make such a claim possible due to their advanced system architecture. Data replication makes it possible for backup servers to take over in seconds. So, if a primary server should fail, another one will step in to take over. The result? Minimal downtime for customers and no data loss worries.
Free migration
If a client already has an in-house Exchange server, Intermedia can help them migrate it. The firm doesn't expect clients to hire an expensive migration consultant. Instead, they can provide the service free of charge!
What's more, the process gets centred around a custom migration plan. That means the entire process is seamless and with minimal disruption and downtime.
24/7 support for a worry-free experience
One of the reasons Intermedia has such a good reputation is down to its support commitment. When clients contact them for help, they speak with fully-certified Microsoft technicians. The beauty is they are available to help clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
It doesn't matter if they need help on the weekend or a bank holiday, for example. Intermedia can still provide the support customers need to resolve any issues. Their support technicians are available via telephone and online chat.
Enterprise-grade security keeps emails safe
One of the worries about using a cloud-based system is security. After all; organisations don't want their data to end up in the wrong hands! The good news is Intermedia provide industry-leading and enterprise-grade security as standard.
They use several redundant, enterprise-class firewalls to prevent intrusions to all cloud servers. They also run an array of intrusion protection systems both on a server and network level. This added peace of mind lowers the risk of security breaches on all hosted Exchange servers.
About Intermedia
The company is a leading provider of hosted Exchange email systems. Founded in 1995, they are a global cloud solutions provider with more than 700 employees. Intermedia boast a client base of over 70,000 customers and offer first-class support.

Company policies:
1) Vehicle Claims and Descriptions:
Vehicle Descriptions, representations and claims are based on what can be seen by the human eye, documentation, previous professional experience, opinion, factory claims, and, or, information passed on to us by previous owners or restorers. It's to the best of our knowledge that everything we advertise has all indications of being that claim. Please inquire as to what documentation we have on the vehicle you are purchasing. It is with integrity and honesty that we describe our cars, but they are in fact, up to 100 years old, may have had many previous owners, modifications or alterations that are unknown to the dealer, so it's not possible to verify everything about every car. As always we welcome personal inspections and or independent appraisers prior to the sale.
2) Temporary Hold Deposits:
These are refundable deposits to hold a vehicle while financial arrangements or vehicle inspections are being made by the consumer. These deposits will keep a particular vehicle off of the market for a period of up to 48 hours only. At the end of that period the vehicle must be paid in full or put back on the market for sale. If a customer needs additional time to complete the transaction, special provisions may be accorded by management of Flemings Ultimate Garage via a Non Refundable Deposit.
3) Non Refundable Deposits:
These are deposits of a substantial amount that Management of Flemings Ultimate Garage has agreed to accept on behalf of the buyer that will guarantee the hold of a particular vehicle for an extended period of time, in writing by both seller and purchaser.
4) Shipping / Transporters:
Flemings Ultimate Garage will help arrange, and in most cases, will ship our vehicles anywhere in the Continental United States included for free at our offered prices. Please inquire about shipping charges at time of purchase. We do not, however, own the shipping company. We sublet all shipping orders to National Trucking Agencies and can not be held responsible for exact shipping delivery dates and times. We are subject to the same Shipping challenges as anyone needing to transport a vehicle cross country. We do have excellent relationships with major agencies and enjoy very reliable service.
If Flemings includes shipping in any transaction it is a maximum of $1500.00. If the cost of shipping exceeds this amount or shipping is delayed for reasons beyond Flemings control, the customer will be liable for the difference in shipping costs.
5) Payment Methods:
Flemings Ultimate Garage wi ll accept Wire Transfers, Certified Bank Checks and Trade Ins with clear titles as payment for our vehicles. Credit Cards can be used for up to $3,000.00 towards the full purchase price. Personal checks can be accepted, however, the wait to clear time is 11 business days. In all cases, funds must be clear our bank before vehicles will be released.
6) Rates and terms subject to change at any time without notice

I had been a jumble of nerves over the weekend. I had committed to a journey that would be a lifetime coming and a lifetime after.
I had spent the week telling people at work that I was transitioning beginning Monday (hormones as well). I had no idea if I had the strength to do this so publicly. I was working at Target in a small town in Indiana. On the sales floor, in electronics and entertainment, a very busy part of the store. Of course, it was Target, so it was always busy anyway.
I had built a rapport with many of our guests. I hoped it was enough to keep them on my side, but you never know with people.
It was Sunday night and I had to get up in plenty of time to be at work at 6am. So I set my alarm for 4. There really wasn't a need to set it because I did not sleep at all that night. 4am rolled around and I rolled out of bed and into the shower. I was a nervous wreck.
I spent a long time on my makeup and my presentation. I think I looked ok (a whole image thing with myself) and off I drove. I got there early, as usual. I just kept thinking "Can I do this?" I was contemplating reactions from coworkers and guests. Despite everything we had done leading up to this, I was afraid we had overlooked something.
I walked in with the rest of the crew. Nothing was really said. We chatted as we had done every morning. In we went.
I had to put my shelf strips in order and as I sat at my desk I had a couple people come up and talk to me. Welcoming me back to Target as me. One of them, who usually is just matter of fact, sat down and said if I ever needed anything to reach out to her.
As I walked out to the sales floor, I was still doubting how I would be accepted. I walked back with the same greetings I had received any other day, plus some shout outs from people I had not spoken with before. Those who knew me came up with hugs and congratulations. I was overwhelmed. I was overjoyed.
I loaded up my morning carts and dove in to work like every other morning. Circulating books with new releases and new positions. Then it came. 8am. The store was now open. The nerves at this point were bad enough that I thought was going to be sick. I felt weak. But worked through it. I gathered my inner strength and prepared.
What came next, I was in no way ready to take on. We had a good sale going and the traffic to electronics picked up right away. And there were no issues. Not a single person I was helping had anything negative to say. Some said nothing, but used proper pronouns. Others gave quick congratulatory hugs and smiles.
As the day neared its end, one of my all time regulars came in. I had been helping her pick a camera for the last few months. She was about to become a grandmother and wanted a good camera. I was about to loan her mine. I saw her and her daughter looking and I approached. She didn't look up right away, but her daughter was looking intently. She said, "I was being helped by a very nice young man…." Then she looked up and after looking, got the biggest smile and ran to give me a hug. We talked for a long time. She asked everything she could and I was happy to oblige. Her daughter said she had not recognized me at all. They were so happy for me. I almost cried.
Just as my day was wrapping up, another regular was in the toy section. She did recognize me and came running up to me with a hug and conversation. Another very open minded person, she already did not follow gender boundaries with her child. She did not believe in girl or boy toys, just toys. We talked about a lot of different things, not just my new journey.
I left with such a positive outlook, and it continued until I left to move to L.A. I could not have asked for a better experience. My journey has been met with positivity along the way. I am beyond thankful for that.

It is common to have a balloon release at either funerals or memorials and let's face it, the colourful balloons are appealing as they gently wend their way skyward, seemingly heading towards Heaven and where we believed our loved ones have gone. They are hard to resist and all those present can partake.
PLEASE RECONSIDER A BALLOON RELEASE. Some balloons are noted as being biodegradable but over what period of time? If a released balloon is made of mylar, it is not biodegradable. What about the ribbons or strings attached to the balloons? Are they biodegradable too? Balloons can float for miles and get caught on Hydro wires, in trees, come to rest in lakes, rivers and on the ground. In these places they can be mistaken by birds, turtles and fishes as food and when ingested, they block their digestive systems causing death. Birds' necks can get caught in strings/ribbons affecting their ability to swallow and eventually causing their deaths. Even their feet are at risk of becoming entangled when the ribbons are stuck in trees. If caught on wires, balloons and strings can cause disruption to electrical services and in trees, at a minimum, they are an eye sore.
CONSIDER HAVING A HOMING PIGEON OR DOVE RELEASE INSTEAD. This is equally beautiful and memorable service, doesn't hurt the environment and the birds wend their way back home after they are released.
Do you have another alternative to balloons that you would like to share?

Today's post is an article that was published in 1973 by Marjorie Holmes. It is as fitting now as it was almost 40 years ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Let me come eagerly to Christmas this year, Lord. Let me come gaily, with a new delight in the countless things I must accomplish - the shopping, the wrapping and mailing, the addressing of mountains of cards. Let me find new joy in the bazaars, the parties and programs, the baking and decorating...not to mention all the things I've promised to do for others.
Instead of my usual seasonal panic, fill me with a glowing sense of trust and peace. Each day that I awake, let me rejoice in the fact that I'm well and able to do it - that I can get up and begin.
And though there never seems to be enough time (or money), let me remember that you've never let us down. That, as with the loaves and the fishes, a miracle happens each year. There is always plenty - more than plenty. The house overflows with gifts and friends, the tree is bowed with its shining burden, the table groans with delicious things to eat.
Even time stretches out like a magic ribbon, somehow embracing all that must be done. As for a woman's strength - therein lies the greatest marvel of all. You give each of us extra portions for this season so that at the end, like children, we hug Christmas close to our hearts and don't want it to be over.
Remind me of all this as I prepare for Christmas this year, Lord. Let me come eagerly to the seemingly impossible, knowing that this holy, happy season is a time of miracles.
Until next time....

The Gastro-Intestinal System
The gastro-intestinal system is an important part of the human body. It is through this system that we are able to absorb nutrients from the food that we eat. Through the process of digestion that occurs in this system, we are able to produce cellular energy (ATP) and carry out cellular activities. The main organs in this system are the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver (which secretes bile), gallbladder (which stores bile produced by the liver) , pancreas(which secretes enzymes such as insulin), small intestine, large intestine, appendix( which helps in the production of "good"bacteria in the digestive system), the rectum and the anus. There are other accessory organs of this system including the teeth uvula and tongue.

The spiciest food on the planet is the Trinidad Scorpion, a golf-ball-sized pepper cultivatable in most parts of the world
"You take a bite. It doesn't seem so bad, and then it builds and it builds and it builds. So it is quite nasty," Paul Bosland, director of the New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute and known as the "Chileman," told the Associated Press.
The chart used to determine the pepper's heat, named the Scoville Scale after its creator, American pharmacist Wilbur Scoville, assigns measurable units of spiciness to various foods. For example, the Trinidad Scorpion gets a whopping 1.4 million scoville units (SCU), while jalapeño peppers range from 2,500 to 8,000.
Scoville ratings are determined by the Scoville organoleptic test. The capsaicin oil (the spicy part) of a pepper is extracted and then incrementally diluted with sugar-water until a panel of five testers can no longer taste the spiciness.
Of course, this method opens up the Scoville Scale to human error and variation, as taste changes from person-to-person. Differences can also exist among peppers of the same type. For these reasons, many on the list have a range of Soville ratings.
Today, some spice-experts tout a more scientific process, called high-performance liquid chromatography which separates chemicals based on absorption. But the Scoville Scale is still the official measurement, used by foodies and the New Mexico State University Chili Pepper Institute alike.

Starlight HarmonistEdit
|That's the Adelaide Brooke I always wanted to meet; a woman with starlight in her soul.
|—The Doctor, Doctor Who
Prerequisite: Songweaver, Aura of Blinding Light power
Like the high elves of old, you have starlight in your soul; at night, the light of the stars sings in your soul, calling to you. This starsong is what drew you to the songweaver's art, and now you have mastered the use of the starsong, enabling you to draw upon the starlight of your soul to aid your allies in battle. You can bathe your allies in the healing glow of starlight, which burns the followers of evil; for the fair light of the stars is inimical to those who follow the path of darkness.

- Starlight Vision (11th Level): You gain darkvision.
- Starlight Soul (16th Level): You gain resist 10 radiant. This increases to resist 15 at 21st level. In addition, you ignore radiant resistance up to the value of your radiant resistance.

Lesley loved to drive, especially long distances, and I have a distinct impression of her, on my right behind the driver's wheel, telling me that sometimes she fantasised about being a rally driver.
My auntie Dot, Lesley's sister, was married to Alec Reddie, an employee of the Ford Motor Company, and so it was that all the cars we drove were Fords. The Ford Motor Company no longer exists in the sense that it did when it manufactured the Fordson van that my mother drove. Some time after the manufacture of the earliest Fords, the Models T and A, the company diversified its cars into larger and smaller ranges. The Fordson van was on the smaller side, the van or pick-up version of models like the Consul, Prefect, and Anglia.
Wherever Lesley got the Fordson van, it was Vere who bought her all her other cars, the Consul, the Zephyr, and the green-and-white Taunus station-wagon, taking advantages of special deals that Alec could swing. Soon after we arrived at Luitingh's Guest Farm, Vere bought Lesley the Ford Consul. The car we see in the picture looks and indeed is huge by current standards. Yet compared to the monsters like the Chevs, Pontiacs or the bigger Fords, it was a dinky little car in the bottom price-bracket.
The car that I drive is called a 'Ford' but is indistinguishable, except for the logo, from a Mazda, and the Ford conglomerate now exists in a realm beyond nations. I am accustomed to driving for many months without paying explicit attention to our car. This was not the case with early motor cars, which, in their complex unpredictability and insistent need for attention often resembled babies. In this sense, the Fordson van must have been a strong presence in my first six years, and in terms of the number of mentions and interactions recorded in Lesley's diary, the Fordson must be considered a character in this drama along with the human cast.
Right at the start of the diary, on the 27th of April, she has an accident in the van. 'On the way to Groote Schuur, another van crashed into my van and then into a third van. A case will come of it as a G.G. [Government Garages] van is involved,' she writes. 'The man who crashed into me had given the police an incorrect address – I gave the police a statement, which they seemed to think was very amusing! What clots they all are – Mr Calitz started writing the wrong numbers down for the vans and it looked as though I had crossed the street to bash myself!' she adds the next day. On Friday 'took my van to the garage. The damage is quite extensive. Metal and wood torn. It will take ages to repair.'
She gets the van back about two weeks later and immediately puts it to good use. The next day she is off to Hout Bay to paint, and on the Friday she 'went out three times in the van – firstly for provisions, then to Mr Smith's for framing – they'll frame eight things for me. What an interesting couple they are – she with her stump, holding the telephone with her shoulder and he tall and grubby – dangling cigarette – frames are good and not too expensive – continued preparing frames in the afternoon then to the market with Terry in the evening.' After that she uses it daily for trips to town, to market and so on. On the 18th of May, a Wednesday, she was 'off to paint this morning only to find no contact to the battery – took ages to repair – then, with the light the wrong way, made a hash of a subject I've been longing to do for ages. Fetched the frames from Smith – they are first class – must still paint them.'
At the end of May, she plans the first of the painting trips that the diary records. On Monday the 30th of May, she 'left town at eleven, and slowly came here – Hawston – stopping to give odd characters a lift on the way.' It rained and she slept in the leaking van. She set off home on the Thursday, noting that 'the drive through Elgin after the fresh rains was delightful.' The next Monday, she's off again. 'Started out at about nine and arrived here about eleven thirty after a few stops on the way – car running excellently – wrapped the bonnet to keep her warm for her long wait.'
On Wednesday the 15th of June, she 'wasted the whole morning in court – then Everett, the fellow who bumped our vans pleaded guilty and was fined fifteen pounds or fifteen days. Quite interesting listening to the odd cases. The case after ours was of a fellow who sat on a non-European bench. How ludicrous! Wonder what he got.'
On the 22nd, Denis, our motor-mechanic neighbour, fetched the van for repairs – in the pouring rain. The van behaved poorly in its role as a taxi during Terry's affair, and it is Terry who attempts to seduce Lesley with an offer of a dodgy 1948 Chrysler. In mid-July, when she dashes to Johannesburg, she takes a lift rather than risk the long journey in the Fordson van.
But she undertakes the journey for her exhibition on the 1st of August. 'The alarm went off at four forty five. I dressed at once and carried my food and hot bottle to the car. Drove about two hours with the lights on – through dense wet fog over Du Toit's Pass – car running beautifully – carburettor trouble at Prince Albert then oil on clutch at Beaufort West where the car no longer went. At first mechanics weren't interested – then they decided to take the whole engine out for me and get stuck into the job. I bought a bottle of whiskey for after hours and they worked magnificently – Johan the mechanic, a blonde handsome fellow, and Jack the foreman – a little bald Cockney. They cut the bill considerably – ten pounds eleven and six. I helped as handlanger – engine finished at eight thirty – I'm comfortably in bed at nine thirty feeling much more cheerful. I'm impressed by the speed and efficiency of Johan.'
The next morning, she 'left Beaufort at about six – heavy frost and bitter cold car running excellently – later this morning I had a bit of carburettor trouble – then I looked under the car to see oil gushing out – and gently drove to the next town where the Ford dealers hoisted her up and wiped off all the excess oil –and diagnosed main rear bearing gone – engine ought to come out – cost about fifty to sixty pounds for repairs. So I came on as she stands, constantly filling her up. Arrived here at Brandfort where a farmers' show is being held. Two men tried to pick me up who exactly represented the tatty fox and cat from Pinocchio.'
In the morning, she 'left early and drove for an hour in the dark and bitter cold – the frost was white even on the tar – what exquisite scenes with the first light. Pink willows against a frosted ivory veld – black branches like lace. After stopping to help a phoney tramp, the car wouldn't start – no petrol in the carburettor – it happened again near Johannesburg but I arrived just after lunch well on schedule.'
On Friday the 19th of August, she set out 'after a completely restless and sleepless night, at five, and started the long way home with my little dog. At first I was dangerously sleepy but later woke and became more cheerful. Slept at a third-rate hotel at Colesberg after a row with the landlady about dogs at hotels! What a heavenly hot bath – washed my hair and directly to bed after driving for thirteen and a half hours. Left Colesberg at seven thirty – little Thunder [the dog] is so good! Had tea with the mechanic at Beaufort West and said I didn't have enough money for a new engine. Pushed on to Laingsburg where the one and only hotel keeper wouldn't have a dog. That was eight thirty pm so I decided to push right on home – another six hours driving – the lights against me were powerfully bright – my battery was discharging and my weak lights slowly became dimmer until the Cape Flats where I could no longer see and ran onto the pavement. I was towed into Cape Town by the Clifton plumber and both Thunder and I arrived home exhausted at about three fifteen in the morning. Jack got up and made tea.'
In her last entry, on the 25th of August, the van gets the first mention: 'Took my van in to have the generator fixed and the lights rewired – will the troubles never cease!'

However, the best reason for a kitchen remodel is increasing the value of the home for you. In December, the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry jointly published their first ever Remodeling Impact Report. They found after completing a kitchen remodel that:
- 90% of homeowners said they had a greater desire to be at home.
- 86% said they experienced increased enjoyment at home, and
- 93% acquired a major sense of accomplishment after the project was complete.
Nonetheless, the report showed that a kitchen upgrade and a complete kitchen renovation are the number 1 and number 2 projects with the most appeal to buyers, respectively. Of projects that add the most value to a home resale, a complete kitchen renovation is in the first place, and a kitchen upgrade is in second.
A kitchen upgrade that costs $30,000 adds an estimated $20,000 to a home's sale price. A complete kitchen renovation costing $60,000 increases the value of your home by an estimated $40,000. The only projects that come close to increasing a home's sale price are bathroom renovations or addition.
If you would like to talk more about how a kitchen remodel can help sell your home, or need more information, please contact us.

I just saw The Tree of Life
I think it would be an injustice to Terrence Malick to even attempt to write a review right now. I will say this: The Tree of Life might not be the best movie ever made, but it is definitely the greatest movie ever made. Think about it. See the film.

Andhra Pradesh Signs MoU With Russia For a Maritime University
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Mr. Nara Chandrababu Naidu's ongoing visit to Russia is proving to be more fruitful to the state every day as yesterday, Mr. Naidu signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Russia's State Marine Technical University to promote marine education and technology.
The agreement was signed at the port city of St. Petersburg and this university works in conjunction with United Shipbuilding Corporation and Rosoboronexport.
Firms involved in the maritime sector in India and Andhra Pradesh, will benefit greatly from this collaboration, according to a statement by the government.
Rakhmanov Alexey, President of United Shipbuilding Corporation said that the university is considering to make Andhra Pradesh the headquarters of the company in India as the state has unique marine activity.
Highlighting the opportunities available, Naidu said that Andhra is set to become a logistics hub in India.
"We want to promote inland navigation and also the commercial usage of water transport. Water-based transport is cheaper when compared to other forms of transport," said Mr. Naidu and added that the state would soon set up the maritime university.

Zambia hosts the 2nd International ACT Convention
by ACT
Posted on June 16, 2017
Comments Off on Zambia hosts the 2nd International ACT Convention
"For each child you send to school, that will otherwise have been on the road, you are changing Zambia and investing in its future" (Bishop Nelly Chikwanda)
Zambia is the country where ACT's work started in Africa in 1998. Nineteen years later, the nation has hosted the second International ACT Convention which took place in Ndola from 7-11 June. The Convention, attended by about 30 delegates representing partners from the 8 African countries where ACT is currently working and from the UK, was a resounding success. Ndola is in the Copperbelt province and is the third city of Zambia.
Addressing the delegates, as well as some of the supported children at the Convention dinner, the member of parliament representing Ndola Central in the Zambian National Assembly, Hon. Emmanuel Mulenga, described ACT as an organisation that is investing in the future of Zambia by helping to change the lives of its weak and vulnerable children. He commended ACT for the good work it is doing in the eight nations of Africa.
"Every 3 minutes a man dies in Zambia. The consequence of this is more widows, fatherless children and orphans plunged into poverty, worries and poor health"
ACT Director, Kunle Onabolu with Hon Mulenga MP and Mrs Mulenga
The aim of the Convention is to bring together ACT partners from the 8 countries to know one another and strengthen the ACT family network. Also, to share their common experience of supporting vulnerable children, orphans and needy widows in their communities, learn from one another and identify best practice. The Convention was a resounding success. Delegates expressed their delight and were pleased to have been able to attend. In line with the goals, the theme of the Convention was "Growing the Family Tree". #ACTFamilyTree
In Ndola, ACT is working with Hands of Mercy, a part of the New Life Ministries. The first child ACT supported was in Chingola in 1998. ACT has since supported more than three hundred disadvantaged children and orphans across the Copperbelt Province, in Ndola, Mufulira, Solwezi and Kasempa as well as Chingola.
The first International ACT Convention took place seven years ago in Tanga, Tanzania. Delegates agreed that the ACT Convention will take place every three years. The next Convention in 2020 will take place in Webuye, Kenya.

Matt Waldman is the author of The Rookie Scouting Portfolio, a testament to his obsession with film analysis, now available for download. Examples of his work can be found at his blog. He is helping The Fifth Down rank skill position players before the draft:
5. Ryan Lindley, San Diego State (6-3, 229)
Lindley can throw the ball nearly 60 yards with accuracy and velocity. He has an over-the-shoulder delivery that is compact. He also shows good judgment in throwing the ball away or in checking down to a receiver if the primary option does not come open.
He played in a pro style set and executes solid drops and hitches, showing the ability to climb the pocket with good form and a feel for pressure. I have seen him avoid pressure up the middle with good economy of steps and deliver completions.
He sells the play-action game with his shoulders and head as well as with his outstretched arm. I have also seen him look off defenders early before turning and throwing across the field.
Lindley has a habit of patting the ball before his release. There were also a lot of one-read plays in one of the games I watched in which Lindley simply targeted one receiver. In another game I watched but did not get to officially score, he consistently demonstrated the skill to look off the safety to get to his second read. Still, I would like to see him look to more than two receivers on a drop.
In the game I did not score, Lindley's receiving duo of Vincent Brown and DeMarco Sampson had gone to the N.F.L., and he was clearly lacking rapport with his new receiving corps. Once the team fell behind and his receivers were not making correct breaks on routes, Lindley got too aggressive and his accuracy suffered as he pressed to make a play.
Some of his passes in these situations were fantastic pinpoint throws under difficult situations. Others were blatantly ill-advised. Lindley is probably the biggest mixed bag of the quarterback prospects in this class. He began his college career in a spread offense, but transitioned to a pro style scheme midway through his career and had success in his first season.
He is still learning, but I think he has the tools to develop into an N.F.L. quarterback. I think he is a safe pick as a project who can develop into a backup and eventually challenge for a starting job. His upside as a pure thrower is as good as any player in this class.

Emily Pripas is currently a non-profit professional in the Twin Cities, after her three years of service as AmeriCorps VISTA. In her spare time, Emily is a member of the deep canvass leadership team at JCA, a singer, and an anti-violence advocate. She loves musical theater, podcasts, and cats.
For most of my life, I've not thought of myself as a brave person. Instead, I would say I am anxious, careful, and most of all, that I want people to like me.
I'm 26 now, still young, but trying to become a better version of myself, a braver version of myself. I'm trying and doing new things, like taking musical theater classes. I also began working with JCA, began deep canvassing, and began to share my experiences as both a canvasser and a trainer for deep canvassing.
What I love about deep canvassing is that it is about me becoming the best version of myself and creating a space where others can do the same. I think about how I can support this for everyone I work with, from the other trainers to the canvassers to the people I talk with on the doors.
I struggle with anxiety, and struggle with it as a part of myself. Recently, I've been learning about Mussar, a Jewish spiritual and ethical practice. One of the soul traits I've talked about in Mussar is savlanut, or patience. In this trait, I focus on learning to bear and tolerate my own discomfort. I focus on what I can change in any situation.
Knocking on the door of someone I do not know to talk about race has been, honestly, terrifying for me. I'm worried that I will upset or offend someone or do something wrong. These are all informed by whiteness, white culture, and the whiteness in my own anxiety. Doing this work is a way for me to practice and continue to practice going beyond that anxiety and showing myself fully to the people in the world.
The people I talk to are often afraid or indignant. They do not want to be called racist because they know that is bad and it could make them a bad person. They will make any leap to avoid that.
Deep canvassing is a practice of sowing seeds, and here is mine for the day. Being a better person is about first knowing that you can move past the mistakes you make. I'm still learning that, still working on knowing that I can be myself and that I do not need others to like me to make me a good person.

SLVSBM6B December 2012 – November 2015 TPS22981
The TPS22981 device is a current-limited power mux providing a connection to a peripheral device from either a low-voltage supply (3 V to 3.6 V) or a high-voltage supply (4.5 V to 19.8 V). The desired output is selected by digital control signals.
The high-voltage (VHV) and low-voltage (V3P3) switch current limits are set with external resistance. Once the current limit is reached, the TPS22981 will control the switch to maintain the current at this limit.
When the high-voltage supply is not present, the TPS22981 will maintain the connection to the output from the low-voltage supply. Upon the presence of a high-voltage line and high-voltage enable signal, the high-voltage switch is turned on in conjunction with the low-voltage switch until a reverse current is detected through the low-voltage switch, allowing a seamless transition from low voltage to the high-voltage supply with minimal droop and shoot-through current.
To prevent current backflow during a switch over from a VHV connection to a V3P3 connection, the TPS22981 will break the VHV connection, discharge the output to approximately 3.3 V and then make the V3P3 connection. The output may transition to 0 V when a load is present, before returning to 3.3 V.
The TPS22981 is available in a 4 mm × 4 mm × 1 mm VQFN package.

Waitresses take the spotlight this week. Along with a D.C. operator struggling with what to name his new restaurant. And an "upcycling" idea from those crazy guys over at Chipotle.
Idea #1: Servers, get that order right. Always a good idea, but even more important at this Red Lobster in Fairview Heights, Ill. A just-released video shows a waitress getting beat up by four customers when she accidently delivered the wrong food. After appealing to the public for help in identifying them, the customers have been ID'd and charges have been filed.
Idea #2: Take the money and run. We wrestled with what lesson to take from this next item. Waitresses shouldn't brag about big tips? Waitresses shouldn't accept tips over $10,000 delivered in a box? At any rate, a Minnesota waitress is suing cops after they seized a box she says was left for her as a tip, containing $12,000. Cops claim it's drug money. The waitress, Stacy Knutson, says a customer left a to-go box on her table at the Fry'n Pan restaurant. When she followed the customer out to return the box the customer said, "No, I am good, you keep it," the lawsuit claims.
Idea #3: Crowd-sourced name. A D.C. restaurant owner has turned to a local blog and its audience to help name his new place. Check out the contenders in the comment section.
Idea #4: Recycled marketing. Chipotle is at it again. The socially-conscious burrito chain has come up with a nifty plan for Earth Day. Keeping with its sustainability values, it will "upcycle" its old billboard posters, turning them into reusable lunch bags. Fans who buy a bag between March 26 and April 14—selling exclusively on Chipotle.com ($18)—will receive a barcode with the bag that's redeemable for a free Chipotle menu item (burrito, bowl, salad or taco) on Earth Day (April 22).

Mobile marketing company Tenjin has expanded its attribution and analytics support for its apps on Daydream, the mobile VR platform by Google.
That means developers can more easily track Daydream app install campaigns and analyse the effectiveness of their campaigns as well as in-app user behaviours for an overview of lifetime value.
VR is quickly becoming the next playing field for many mobile advertisers and innovators.
The Daydream View headset easily pairs with smartphones to enable a VR experience. Publishers such as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Hulu, Netflix, HBO and Lockwood Publishing have already trialled Daydream experiences with customers viewing movies and playing games.
Tenjin is planning to capitalise on this trend by combining an analytics, attribution and ad network data aggregation infrastructure for a single dashboard access.
Its DataVault lets marketers access user-level data so they can perform custom analyses without the need to build their own data pipelines and warehousing solutions.
Christopher Farm, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tenjin, explains:
"For many app developers, VR represents the next great frontier, and Daydream is the perfect example of a platform that is easy to build for, provides a great user experience, and holds the potential for mass consumer adoption. Our goal is to remain on the cutting edge of mobile marketing and app analytics, and we are very pleased to make our marketing infrastructure available to app developers on Daydream in order to help marketers get the most out of the platform."

International chains operating in Europe are expanding their breakfast buffet items to better reflect local tastes and satisfy guest requests to grow their bottom lines.
REPORT FROM EUROPE—Breakfast buffets offered by the major hotel companies active in Europe are becoming healthier, more local and more varied as operators realize the meal's impact on their earnings and food-and-beverage managers accommodate guest demands.
"F&B has long been an amenity that hotels had to suffer through, but now many are seeing it is a way to make it part of the whole experience and make it profitable," said Aaron Allen of global restaurant consultancy Aaron Allen & Associates. "And breakfast is a big part of that."
Well-being is at the core of changes to breakfast, Allen said.
"There is a movement toward healthy, such as replacing margarine with olive oil or finding alternatives to processed foods or those with lots of chemicals," he said. "And these trends are fueled by millennials who want an authentic experience and will pay for it instead of worrying about paying off their mortgage."
Natural products are gaining ground and properties operated by Madrid-based NH Hotel Group, according to Emilio Suero, VP of food and beverage for all NH brands.
"We always have a minimum of at least eight varieties of fresh fruit on out buffet tables, and this is especially important for our business travelers who make up 65% of our guests and need to eat healthy on the road," Suero said. "We also have to pay close attention to eating trends so we can offer things like gluten-free products to our guests (as) breakfast is a very big contributor to income."
He added that, on average, 35% of an NH property's income is from F&B, and breakfast accounts for 40% of that.
11 million breakfasts
Breakfast at NH is not included in the room rate, Suero said, with breakfast buffet prices averaging €12 ($14.18) and up at its premium brands NH Collection and Nhow.
"Seventy percent of our guests have breakfast in the hotel," Suero said. "Annually, that's 11 million breakfasts … but more than volume, what's important is how our guests perceive the quality of what we offer. We pass out questionnaires to guests covering 13 areas of the total service, and on average the quality of our breakfast ranks third in appreciation after our check-in and check-out procedures and our cleanliness."
Breakfast also is appreciated by guests at Scandic Hotels, the Nordic region's largest chain by property count.
"When looking at guest comments on TripAdvisor, guests frequently comment on the hotel's location, a good night's sleep and the breakfast, so it is important," said Morten Malting, Scandic's director of F&B.
Malting said breakfast often is the only meal some guests will try at his company's hotels, and breakfast is often the last impression a property can make on a guest before check-out.
Leveraging local
Allen said he advises clients to gather 20% of their fare from local sources, while the rest can be familiar items perhaps from farther afield.
"Lots of hotel managers forget about local-sourcing their offerings and providing a sense of place, both of which are becoming very important," he said.
NH Hotels offers jamón serrano, the country's famous air-cured ham, at all of its hotels, with a superior product available at NH Collection properties. Hotels located in the Mediterranean region offer finer coffee options, Suero said.
Thinking local is also big at Scandic. Not only are the buffets heavy on Scandinavian products, but also on nationally or regionally specific items, Malting said, who added breakfast normally is included in Scandic room rates.
Along with the Finn crisps, Scandic staff in Finland provide rice-filled Karelian pie with rye crust, while properties in the country's Tampere region offer locally made blood sausage.
In Berlin, Scandic guests enjoy smoked salmon and trout from local fishermen within 50 miles of the city, while in Hamburg cinnamon rolls known as Franzbrötchen star on the buffet tables.
Faith in food
Hotel chefs and servers have to be aware of religious dietary requirements and laws, sources said.
"In Norway, we launched turkey bacon to go along with our pork bacon. It is more environmentally friendly, more healthy and suitable for people of other religions," Malting said.
Locally sourced fare and organic, vegetarian and allergen-free offerings are all closely monitored by management to ensure good earnings and repeat guest business.
"A fixed allocation is made from the room to the F&B department, and we also allocate the cost part of the breakfast and can see a full (profit and loss result) for our breakfast department," Malting said.
InterContinental Hotels Group's Holiday Inn Express brand also offers breakfast as part of its room rate and adjusts buffet items to take into account eating habits within any market, said Mike Greenup, IHG's VP of brand management of upscale and midscale hotels in Europe.
"In the United Kingdom and Ireland, we found guests frequently asked for bacon to be added to the menu, so we introduced it back into our hotels earlier this year," Greenup said.
Greenup said while breakfast at Holiday Inn Express is more focused than at its sibling brand Holiday Inn, it does offer alternatives like vegetarian sausages and gluten-free or sugar-free options upon request.
"Holiday Inn offers a larger range of hot and cold continental breakfast, which isn't included in the price of a room," Greenup said.
Allen said hotel F&B is on the verge of AI innovation.
"We'll see more virtual assistants for guests with robot-like devices," he said. "This will do away with that swap-meet atmosphere you get in the breakfast buffet line with everyone jostling to get at the bacon."

One debate where the moderates didn't check to see if he wanted a pillow and Barry H. Obama folds like a cheap lawn chair and ditches the next debate.
A proposed debate in Raleigh between Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has been called off, officials said Monday.
CBS had agreed to host a debate next Sunday at the RBC Center and televise the event nationally. Clinton agreed to the date, but Obama, who had earlier committed to an April 19 debate, said repeatedly he wasn't sure whether he could fit an April 27 debate into his campaign schedule.
The North Carolina Democratic Party said in a statement Monday that the logistics of staging a national event on short notice, if Obama were to agree to the debate this week, were too daunting to try to pull everything together. Democratic officials also said there were "growing concerns about what another debate would do to party unity."
The Confederate Yankee calls it with spot on accuracy:
That is a truckload of bovine excrement, of course.
The NC Democratic Party could have easily provided for a debate with the resources we have here in the state capitol, even on short notice, and plans were no doubt in place to do just that until Obama backed down from the challenge.
Leading Tarheel Democrats—including both Democratic gubernatorial candidates—are in the tank for Barack Obama, and they understand that another dismal performance by a faltering Obama could give the Clinton campaign the opening it needs to finish a bruising primary season strong and throw the nomination process even further into turmoil. They don't want to risk his double-digit lead and his overall viability when it isn't absolutely necessary.
Obama doesn't have the backbone to face tough questions and is absolutely terrified of Chris Wallace. The leaders of North Korea, Iran and Communist China must be absolutely gleeful over the prospect of having this lightweight in the Oval Office.

Yesterday's KinAugust 18, 2015
It is everything that you can expect from Nancy Kress. It is a solid hard sci-fi, with some revelation made. I cannot help but to compare it with her previous novel that I read, Steal Across the Sky. I have the same feel when I read both novel. Both are related with alien encounter. Both also related with human genetics. Both also bring new revelation about our ancestor. I cannot help also to say that Steal Across the Sky has given me greater impact than this novel.
The novel is told using 2 POV, a researcher, stumbled on something that catch the attention of some aliens; and her son, an ignorant commoner. And the story is pretty much told from the circle of this family, and some closed friends. The story started with an alien encounter, with a hidden agenda. Once the agenda is not hidden, chaos followed.
First of all, this is a thin novel, only a little bit thicker than a novelette. I finished it in one sitting, without a sweat. I give a merit to Nancy because the flow of the novel is so great that it does not give me any speed bump while reading it. But unfortunately, being so thin, you cannot pack too may ideas inside it. Nancy has been doing well in packing all the necessary ideas inside this novel, plus the story, without making it too preachy with technical details.
Now, the down side. Nancy Kress has try to simplify the plot by ignoring all chaos that happened outside the labs. But even by cutting that parts away, she is still missing some interesting dynamics that might happened in her closed circle family and among her lab crews. It should be more interesting if she has more pages to write.
So, that is my final thought, it feels a bit incomplete. It feels that it ends too abruptly. And the final twist is a bit an anticlimactic. Sorry Nancy, only 3 out of 5 this time.
Additional Note (critical review with spoilers)
The hypothesis of Nancy Kress regarding the alien civilization is interesting. She hypothesized that due the more benign planet that the alien inhabited, they became a more cooperative society, compared to ours. And because they are more cooperative, they are far more advanced than we. That hypothesis needs to be explored at least another one hundred pages. Maybe in debates between alien and human, maybe in some scene when the alien are confused about our competitive, self-interested, individualized and obsessive behavior.

Most of the time the gate to my property is locked, but if we are expecting a package delivery I will leave it unlocked so the carrier can ring the doorbell and deliver the goods. That's what I want to happen, anyway, but most of the time the UPS, Post Office, or FedEx delivery person will just drop the package on the front step and leave. Why they can't be bothered to push the bell button as they hightail it out of my yard I'll never understand. The result is my package is sitting there, behind an unlocked (and sometimes left open) gate, ripe for the pickin' in the big city.
To combat this problem I decided that a chime, buzzer, or alert that sounded inside the house whenever the gate is opened would be a good idea. Of course my first inclination was to use an open/closed detector and program my home automation system to notify me when it was triggered.
But there are a couple of reasons that's not optimal in this situation. Briefly, there isn't a good chime module that works with INSTEON or ZWave (my technology of choice these days), and secondly, as fast as my home automation is, I didn't want to introduce the inevitable delays and complexities that a multi-stage system would introduce.
Another requirement is that I wanted the method to be wireless. While I could run wires to a switch on the gate, I really don't want to because it would require tunneling under a sidewalk and creating an opening for the wires to enter the house. Maybe I'm getting lazy.
After a lot of searching I settled on the Heath-Zenith Wireless Entry Alert Chime SL-6168. The unit provides a wireless sensor to mount on the gate, and plug-in module inside the house that plays one of two chime sounds.
For my application the unit's range is working fine. The distance between the sensor and the sound module is about 30 feet, but it has to penetrate the brick walls of the house. The module is quite loud, and I'm puzzled by the Amazon reviews that say it is quiet. I didn't adjust its volume so I'm not sure if mine is turned all the way up, but it's certainly loud enough to hear it throughout the house.
The gate sensor takes a 12-volt battery, which I was initially a little concerned about as I anticipate having to change it often during cold weather. But I discovered that they're relatively inexpensive when purchased in six-packs. I just hope I don't have to change it too often during the winter as opening the unit is a little tricky and it will be freezing cold out there.
I attached the sensor on my gate using 3M double-stick mounting tape. (After making sure that the slight rattle of the door, when it's locked, wouldn't set it off.) The adhesive seems to be holding up fine. Here, the heat of summer could cause a problem with that, but I'm not expecting one. It has rained (and snowed!) since I've installed it, and the sensor seems very well-sealed, so no problems to report with that so far, either.
It was pretty much impossible to tell how big the two pieces of the sensor are from the Amazon listing, so here's a photo to help you judge if it will fit on your door or gate.
All in all, this solution is doing the trick, and I spent about half what a traditional home automation approach would cost. On the other hand, it's not at all smart, meaning the chime will go off at all hours of the day and night, and when nobody is home to hear it. A trade-off, perhaps, but the 5 minutes it took to install it is a benefit too. It's worth considering if this type of approach would meet your requirements.
