Configuring .np domain for Github page
In this post, I will share an idea how you can point your
.np domain website to
Github Pages(gh-pages) website. It is much easier to point any domain towards gh-pages website by simply adding
A Records to domain settings and
CNAME to our
gh-pages Github repository. But the problem with
.np domains is that we can't add
A records as their is no any field to add
A record to our domain properties. To solve this problem, we will make use of
Cloudflare a CDN(Content Delivery Network) that allows us to manage our domains in easiest and reliable way. And also, it doesn't charge any fees for doing this, and we can manage multiple sites with cloudflare. So follow the steps below:
first, make sure that you have added
CNAMEfile to your github repository In my case I would add lakshmanbasnet.com.np in
CNAMEfile. Remember
CNAMEfile has no any extensions and its filename should all be capitalized
second step is to go to cloudflare and make an account (go with free plan)
at the top click on
- add your domain name and begin scan
after waiting for some time, it scans and suggests you what to do
after the scan is over, slicck on
Continue Setup
since, we want our domain to point to
gh-pageslets add two
A Recordsfor Github Pages
Now, lets add first
A Record, in
Namefield add your domain name and in
IPV4 address fieldadd
gh-pagesaddress i.e
similarly for next record
A Record, do as previous but in
IPV4 address fieldadd
gh-pages'address i.e
for timestamp, you can select the smallest available time, larger time you choose, more time it takes for changes to happen
- also make sure that you have
CNAMErecord to point your domain name with and without
wwwto same location
- now click on
Continueand after that make sure you choose free plan and tap
- after this step Cloudflare automatically suggests you what to do as in my case I have to update the nameservers to what cloudflare has said to. for your case also, you need to do as directed
now its time to update the
nameserversprovided by cloudflare in your
.npdomain setting.
goto MOS site, login to your account and update the nameserver as said by cloudflare
after updating the nameserver in mos site, come back to cloudflare setup page and click on
it might take some time, wait until it completes and finally you are done!!
This way you can easily point your .np domain to Github sites, gh-pages site or any Jekyll Sites. Hope it was useful

L'ecole's Law Society – Court Trip
On Monday, 25th January 2016, the Law Society arranged an educational visit to the Sindh High Court. Members of the society and first year students attended this session.
All students gathered at the Bar Room of the High Court. The Joint Secretary of the Sindh High Court Bar Association, Mr. Ghulam Haider Sheikh along with the managing committee assisting him, led the visit. The students visited the administrative block where all cases are registered and paperwork is filed. Shortly after, the students visited the courtroom of Justice Sajjad Ali Shah, Honourable Chief Justice of Sindh. Many students experienced a court proceeding for the first time that allowed them to appreciate how the law is applied. Students also visited Justice Ahmed Ali Shaikh, the Hon'ble Senior Pusine Judge courtroom.
Finally refreshments were served at the cafeteria after which the Law Society thanked the Joint Secretary of the Sindh High Court Bar Association and the managing committee for assisting the students through the educational visit.
The visit allowed students to gain an insight in litigation allowing them to make an informed decision regarding future practice.

Aiya Eldar!
How've you guys been?
Schools teach us about random things in Geography.
Like water.
They also like taking us on excursions.
So we went to a water treatment plant.
When we got there, we noticed that there was a huge fence guarding the entrance to it, and our teacher had to speak into a cool control box thingy, then someone came, did a fingerprint scan and typed in a code and it opened the gate.
It was cool.
Really cool.
So, when we got back from our excursion, we were asked what we got out of the trip. I said that it gave me story inspiration. Cool coded gates to water treatment plants. Sooo, guess what the prompt is?
So, what do you make of that one? Maybe that sparked a few new ideas.
I hope so.
Feel free to share any ideas that came to you from this. Or anything really.

European Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Meeting12-14 October 2017
Welcome to ELUTS17 Berlin
The European Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms meeting (ELUTS17), was held in the beautiful Berlin from 12 to 14 October 2017.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The European Association of Urology is pleased to announce a new meeting on LUTS, the European Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Meeting (ELUTS17). This comprehensive scientific meeting will take place on 12-14 October 2017 in Berlin, Germany.
The broad scientific programme was created with contributions from the EAU Sections of Female and Functional Urology (ESFFU) and Genito-Urinary Reconstructive Surgeons (ESGURS) as well as the European Urogynaecological Association (EUGA). The result is a meeting that aims to bring together a variety of specialties that all deal with LUTS and related conditions.
On Thursday and Friday the European School of Urology (ESU) will hold its Masterclass on Female and Functional Reconstructive Urology. As all of the ESU's programmes, lecturers are leaders in their field, with the course based on the evidence of the EAU Guidelines and best practice.
Topics on Friday include OAB, male LUTS, nocturia, female stress urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse and the use of mesh. On Saturday, delegates can expect debates and lectures on patients with MS, dementia and spinal cord injuries, Peyronie's disease, male incontinence following radical prostatectomy and painful bladder syndrome.
ELUTS17 brings together Europe's leading experts on the diverse subject of LUTS, offering new perspectives, debates and state-of-the-art lectures with clinically applicable advice. We sincerely welcome you to Germany's capital for what we believe will be the most important interactive session within functional urology in Europe, organised by the European Association of Urology in 2017.

My Story
After spending over 25 years in C-level jobs in sales, marketing and general management at companies such as Desso, Armstrong and Domo Contract Flooring, I have always built my businesses on innovation, new business models, customer centricity and technology as a powerful enable and now I use that experience to inspire companies to develop their own strategy fit for a digital and connected world.
I started this thrilling life as an inspirational keynote speaker in 2012 and since then I have given several hundreds (I never really counted them) of highly rated keynotes around the globe to international companies like Assa Abloy, Cisco, Volvo, Swedbank, Telia, MasterCard, Randstad, Tesla, Nestle', IBM, Microsoft, Barco, DSM, Bol.com, Smurfit Kappa, Etex, EY, KPMG, Deloitte, … and at numerous international conventions on retail, HR, automotive, food, health….
In 2015 I started nexxworks together with my business partners and friends Peter Hinssen and Steven Van Belleghem to work together in realising our mission: get companies ready for their Day After Tomorrow. We spend many week per year in Silicon Valley, China, Berlin, Tel Aviv and other hot spots of digital innovation and are always eager to share what we have experienced and learned over there.
I am a proud member of the jury of Deloitte Best Managed Companies Belgium and I am active in several Advisory Boards and Boards of Directors. I am a frequent lecturer at London Business School, Neyenrode in Breukelen and TIAS in Tilburg. (I am a frequent Flyer too :-))

I know both the B2C and B2B environment, but I strongly believe in a growing H2H driven C2B world.

When it comes to marketing on Facebook, there are no rules set in stone which guarantee success. Every company is different. In order to use Facebook successfully, you need to learn all you can about it. This article will help to educate you on the subject.
Talk to your fans. Take note of things posted on your page. The public has often provided marketing inspiration to numerous businesses. Remember that customers are the lifeblood of your company. If they desert you, you are toast.
You could create a group rather than a page. Launching a group on Facebook may inspire subscribers to start their own community online and interact with one another. You could also use a group and a page to get maximum benefits from Facebook marketing.
Using Facebook Offers, you can quickly promote a contest or freebie which you are offering on your website. All you have to do is set up the offer, then switch it to a Promoted Post through your wall. If it's a good deal, you can give it to people that do not even like your page yet.
When you use custom audiences, you are able to target your ads to them by using their email addresses. This is a good way to improve your conversion ratio and reduce what you spend to develop your campaign.
Carefully chose your updates. Subscribers will rapidly grow disinterested if your updates include content they do not find valuable. Keep your updates helpful, educational, or entertaining. Facebook Insights can help you keep track of which updates are particularly popular, allowing you to try and repeat your success time and time again.
Develop a group intended just for the business. This can only be a one-stop shop where people can ask questions and customers are able to chat with one another. You can share discounts and any other helpful information. You'll build a personal relationship with your fans this way.
Do not share updates that are not directly related to your content. While current events, political issues or personal problems might be tempting to talk about, you may alienate your fans by discussing them. Personal projects and updates should be shared using your personal account.
Facebook Marketing
Put effort into your Facebook marketing campaign. Facebook is a popular site and marketing on it takes time. If you are considering assigning someone to work on your Facebook marketing plan who is very busy, you will not realize the results that are possible from this social media. To get the best results, allocate real resources.
It could be difficult to get started with Facebook marketing. An easy way to get going is to put a Facebook button on your web page. This widget allows customers to easily connect to your business's Facebook page. It is much easier to keep your customers informed when they use Facebook to connect by liking your page.
Be sure people are able to share content with you and other people via your Facebook page. The more interesting or valuable the information you provide is, the more likely that your followers are going to want to share it with their friends. Facebook lives on sharing and interacting with others. If you put in the effort, you'll find your content is shared throughout Facebook.
Establish a personality for your brand. If the information you post is bland, then people are going to think this about your business and products. Have a little fun, but don't offend anyone.
It is essential that you nurture your relationship with others who you are interacting with on Facebook. This is similar to a face-to-face meeting, where cultivating relationships established on Facebook requires a long-term investment of time. One way to keep people interested in what you're offering is to give them good content at all times. Also, reward those who are most loyal to you by offering them special promos and deals.
Try your best to respond to each and every comment that you get. This means inbox messages and comments on your page. You'll have to put in some effort, but fans will love the personal touch.
Be careful about how often you use Facebook Update. This lets you send messages straight to all your followers. Only use it when it's crucial to do so. It should not be used for promotions, rather to show your concern for your followers and their ability to remain informed.
Make sure you interact with customers on your page. You should post content that will make your followers react and start talking. You may want to speak with them if they start the conversation, or you can ask them all a question. Once you get a conversation going, join in. This kind of personal interaction can help form a bond with your clients, turning Facebook fans into life-long customers or clients.
Know that event sharing is something that is very useful if you're a business owner that has a Facebook page. For instance, if you go to trade shows, you can make an event that has this and allows others that follow or "like" your page to share. The best part is that Facebook will remind them of the event for you!
It is important to gain subscribers and have them share your content. You need to gear your marketing efforts towards people who are actually going to purchase your goods and/or services. Conversion rates will indicate whether a campaign was successful or not.
Tone is much more difficult to discern in a Facebook post than in verbal conversation. Keep this in mind when you write posts. If your messages are sent out and they look robotic, people may not wish to be your fan any longer.
Daily Updates
To free up your time to work on your marketing campaign, consider paying someone to create and post daily updates to your Facebook page. It's not easy to stay on top of daily updates, but it is important for customers to see this content. They can share the posts with their friends, too.
Since you now have a deeper understanding of Facebook marketing, put that information to use. Use this newly found knowledge and reap the benefits that Facebook offers. The sooner you start, the sooner you will be successful.

Typically, fashion folks are loathe to be honest about their fellow industry insiders, but this week proved to be an exception, with designers Giorgio Armani and Azzedine Alaia letting loose.
While Alaia has always been a bit more candid than others -- he famously pulled his dresses from the Met's "Model as Muse" gala in 2009 because his work was not included in the Costume Institute exhibit, for example -- his latest interview with Virgine included some choice words about an editor who is often regarded as nearly untouchable in the industry, Anna Wintour:
I said it before. She runs the business (Vogue) very well, but not the fashion part. When I see how she is dressed, I don't believe in her tastes one second. I can say it loudly! She hasn't photographed my work in years even if I am a best seller in the U.S. and I have 140 square meters at Barneys. American women love me; I don't need her support at all. Anna Wintour doesn't deal with pictures; she is just doing PR and business, and she scares everybody. But when she sees me, she is the scared one. [Laughs.] Other people think like me, but don't say it because they are afraid that Vogue won't photograph them. Anyway, who will remember Anna Wintour in the history of fashion? No one.
Alaia doesn't stop there, either. He says Karl Lagerfeld is "too much caricature" and "never touched a pair of scissors in his life" (though he does hedge that that "doesn't mean he's not great"), and also suggests that Galliano's tragic fall was a direct result of the pressures of the fashion industry itself.
Elsewhere this week, Giorgio Armani railed against labels like Prada and Dolce & Gabbana and men's fashion week in Milan, saying that their styles "made men look ridiculous," according to WWD:
One of the reasons, he quipped, is that "fashion today is in the hands of the banks and of the stock market and not of their owners," stressing how he doesn't need to do an IPO because his company is independent and doesn't have debts, and that his clothes make men look more handsome and elegant.
The "IPO" remark was clearly a not-so-subtle dig at Prada, which has raised $2.14 billion for its IPO.
While we can't necessarily commend these designers for being so candid, we can at least commend them for making the most of summer's slower news cycle.

Switching accounts to ethical institutions
If I have to be attached to financial institutions, I want them to #giveashit about environmental sustainability. I don't want my superannuation to be invested in the fossil fuel industry. I don't want my bank to extend financial services to the defence sector, unsustainable agriculture and non-renewable energy.
***This is NOT an ad. I'm just keen to explore my own personal eco-friendliness beyond food, fashion and beauty.***
I've been doing a bunch of boring personal admin to switch my accounts over to ethical institutions. I'm trying to broaden the ways that I support environmental sustainability through the corporate sector. I found it a really frustrating onboarding process with @bankaust but I got there in the end. I feel like I've gained a few eco brownie points with this new account. I like what they stand for and who they support. I'm lucky to have them as an option amidst a sea of corporate bullshit.
I still have a bunch more changes to make but this is one small step that has unlocked momentum for my accounts. I've got my eyes on @australianethical as my next target…
If you have questions please look up their ethical creds online, read their disclosure statements and seek out the fine print. Finance is not my forte and this is most certainly NOT a sponsored post 😜 I'm also expecting to come across a controversial article about all the ethical institutions. Ain't modern life a funny thing?

Down on the beach it was a little windy but the sun was shining and would you believe it, we didn't see any other woofers at all!
Just us, we had the whole Sea Wall to ourselves!
Mr Brambles headed straight for the Sea Weed, he is still looking for the Monster who keeps pinching his Sand Holes!
|I Know You're in Here Somewhere!
|Safety First, they were both 'Roped Up'!
Before we knew what was happening they were off and gone! We were left to sit on our cushion looking out of the window!
Well, we all got some snoozing done, let's face it, it's not as if we can even play with the squeaky balls 'cos Miss Snowflake has hidden them all in the 'Adventure Playground'!
They arrived back a bit later and of course we made a fuss of them and OTL said he would take us all out for a long walk down on the Sea Wall, and that includes the ferrets as well!
As an experiment, he took the Infrared Camera Thingy 'cos he could put it in the ferret bag when the ferrets were out and running and it was quicker in taking a photo than the 'Point and Shoot' one he uses in the morning!
We started off at the Rabbit Hunting Ground and Holly and I rushed in woofing our heads off!
As you would expect, all the rabbits were off and gone before we got there but it was fun sniffing at where they had been.
Mr Brambles was very interested in the sniffs and spent a long time tracking where the rabbit had worked it's way across the patch of grass!
|Mr Brambles having a Serious Sniff!
|All the best sniffs are on the air!
Time to Go Splashing!
|Me Having a Splash!
I had a super time, chasing the stick and then shaking all the water over everyone on the beach!
|Miss Snowflake getting away from me shaking the water off my back!
No Way!
|OK, Have you finished shaking all that water about?
|Water won't hurt you!
You know, it really is hard life we have, all this relaxing and snoozing and having a good time!
See you tomorrow!
Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake and Mr Brambles.

TotalCapture Dataset
The traditional method for clustering or grouping media is to use a large training set of labeled data. However, the Making System multi-touchless approach moves away from the use of large hand labelled training datasets. Instead, allowing the user to find natural groups of similar content based upon a handful of "seed" examples using two efficient data mining tools originally developed for text analysis: min-Hash and APriori. This means that the user guides the correct grouping of the diverse media by identifying only a small subset of contradictory items [2] e.g. web, video, image and emails. The pair-wise similarity between the media is then collapsed into a 2D presentation for displaying on the touch table. More recent work has looked at automatically attaching linguistic tags to images harvested from the internet [1].
In addition to showing groups of similar media content, a summary of the media can be produced. This can efficiently identify the frequently reoccurring elements within the data. When all the events are used, this can provide a overall gist or flavour of the activities. Furthermore, discriminative mining can be used where a subset of (positive) events are mined against another subset of (negative) examples. Here we can highlight events or content that are salient in the positive set, allowing trends to be identified that, for example, describe activity that is particular to a specific time of day or day of the week.

Allow the user to
Suggest similarity/dissimilarity between content
Automatically identify shared features that satisfy user query
Re-project and visualise the content based on learnt rules
Image Signature
I use a compact representation of the content to enable real time operation. I propose an Image Signature, this is similar to a Bag of Words histogram, where the frequency count of the features firing in the piece of content builds a histogram for each piece of media.
Image Signature Similarity
It uses the data mining tool min-hash, this was originally designed for duplicate text analysis, and estimates the set overlap of the image signatures. To do this min-hash compares multiple min hashes based on many random permutations of overall vocabulary of features.
and the pair wise similarity is computed between all image signatures, as shown by the left distance matrix below
Where the white points indicate the closest match, ideally all the matches would be within the green boxes indicating the class classification.
Pushing and Pulling Image Signatures
However, there are a number of false positives, this is to be expected as there is no training done at all, therefore to remove these false positives, the user will select a number of examples from a class, and mis-classified examples from the same class. The underlying program will identify feature similarities between the positive media with respect to the negative, using APriori data mining to find correlations in vast number of images and videos. The positive rules are then emphasised across the content. This will update the distance matrix, resulting in new visual clusters, with the positive examples closer together.
Example from the Youtube Dataset Results
The image belowshows the grouping for a single class from the YouTube dataset, based on the connecting blue lines
The user wishes to bring the two large circles of media together, so the user would select a number of pieces from each circle the approach brings the two circle into a single group.

Today, it was time to decorate the cookies I baked last night 😀
The royal icing was mixed, coloured, put into decorating bags, and then thinned out so I could put the icing in squeeze bottles to flood the cookies.
I should've thinned it out a bit more before I started trying to decorate. It lead to some pretty ugly piping… so not happy…
Eddie's still hung up on the Metro bags
I'll see how the cookies look tomorrow and go from there…

SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — More than a dozen people were injured in a bus crash in Santa Ana Tuesday night.
The Orange County Fire Department and Santa Ana police responded to the intersection of Fairview and 17th following a collision involving a bus, a car and a truck carrying a trailer.
The bus was traveling northbound on 17th when a vehicle, heading northbound on Fairview, ran a red light and hit the bus, officials said.
The bus was then pushed into the truck.
Shots from SKY2 show the truck overturned; the bus ended up on the sidewalk on the southbound lanes of Fairview; and the car landed on its side with severe front-end damage.
O.C. Fire transported 15 victims to the hospital, including the drivers of the bus and car and 13 bus passengers. All of the injuries were listed as non-life threatening.
Santa Ana police are investigating the cause of the crash.

Dr. Lessing was the guest speaker at the Wyoming District Spring Pastoral Conference in 2013. The topic was Isaiah 56-66. Over four sessions, he covered 1) Reading these chapters contextually and theologically, 2) Outlining these chapters and key texts, 3) and 4) Good and Perfect Gifts: A Lenten Sermon Series on Isaiah 56-66. This commentary delivers on what he covered then.
I appreciated the author's humility in this volume's preface (xvi-xviii), especially by admitting, in retrospect, that "a glance backward reveals that occasionally a better or more accurate trajectory could have been followed (xvi). This only makes me respect him more. The teacher is also a student. He wants to improve himself and his scholarship for the sake of his readers/hearers out of respect for Christ and His Word. Those of us with volume 1 of this Romans commentary could and should annotate the necessary pages with these insights.

Ever since Dr. Albert T. W. Simeons introduced the fabulous HCG diet, it has been one of the most effective and widely-used approaches to losing weight as fast as physically possible. But everything has a price, and if a product or substance shows exceptional effects, it HAS to have side effects. That's the way things work, and it's impossible to avoid this truth.
As the components of most HCG product are incredibly powerful, they also have certain side effects. Here are the most common of them:
- Losing weight too fast can be harmful for those people that are extremely obese. HCG has powerful fat-burning properties, so the bodies of people with too much excess weight can sometimes not have enough time to get used to its new parameters.
- Rare people affirm they've experienced some sort of mild allergy to any of the components present in HCG drops. Opt for only the purest products with top-quality ingredients (like the ones listed below) to avoid this nuisance.
- Most HCG formulas have certain components that suppress your appetite, so feeling too hungry isn't usual when taking HCG. But other components greatly boost your metabolism. In certain people the latter effect turns to be much more powerful than the hunger-suppressing one, thus resulting in this side-effect. Follow closely the HCG diet protocol to minimize your risk of feeling hungry.
But the good news is that the advantages and benefits you get from a top-quality HCG drops product are so many more than a couple of pesky side effects. And guess why is that? That's right, they have great ingredients. And we will tell you why exactly are they so great for your weight loss and overall health.
Below you'll find a list of the ingredients which are found on most popular HCG brands like HCG Complex, HCG1234 and HCG Triumph. We will dive right into the matter and describe in details all of the ingredients, benefits, and side effects of each of the components as well. Let's go!
Panax Quinquefolius, Fucus Vesiculosus, L-Arginine, L-Leucine, Vitamin B12, Maca root (a.k.a Lepidium meyenii), Magnesium Phosphate, L-Glutamic, L-Ornithine.
Detailed explanation on each Ingredient below:
- Panax Quinquefolius: American Ginseng, One Of The Most Powerful Metabolism Boosters.
- Fucus Vesiculosus: The Fabulous Seaweed That Makes Your Skin Younger.
- L-Arginine: Build Muscle, Lose Fat, Get Slim & Ripped!
- L-Leucine: More Muscles, Less Fat, A Better Body For All The Dieters.
- L-Carnitine: Physical Performance, Body Building And A Good Fat Burner.
- Vitamin B12: Healthy Nerves, Strong Blood Cells And Protects From Viral Diseases
- Maca root (a.k.a Lepidium meyenii) : Superfood With Plenty Of Minerals and Nutrients
- Magnesium Phosphate: It Relieves Muscular Pains, Cramps and Workout Pains.
- L-Glutamic: Promotes Digestive And Brain Health, Muscle Growth And Athletic performance
- L-Ornithine: Supports Athletic Performance, liver functioning, Quick wound recovery and stress management
HCG Complex is the only product which contains all these ingredients. Because of this reason, it is one of the most sold product at Amazon and Walmart with highest re-order rate and positive testimonials.

Baby boy for Zeta Jones and Douglas
Hollywood actor Michael Douglas and his fiancťe Catherine Zeta Jones are celebrating the birth of their first child.
Dylan Michael Douglas was born at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Beverly Hills, weighing 7lb 7oz at 0100 GMT on Wednesday.
Zeta Jones' publicist, Cece York, said the Welsh actress had been admitted to hospital on Tuesday.
"Everybody's doing great," she said.
Douglas also announced the birth of Baby Dylan on his official website.
A message on the site reads: "Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas are the proud parents of a seven pounds seven ounces, 21-and-a-half inches baby boy.
"Mother, baby and father are all doing very well."
Douglas, 55, revealed weeks ago that he planned to be present at the birth and "hold her hand" during labour.
The couple's wedding had been planned for September but the date has been postponed to give the new mum time to "regain her shape" after her pregnancy.
Zeta Jones, 30, who was born in Swansea and found fame in TV series The Darling Buds of May, met Douglas at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998.
The couple's relationship hit the headlines recently when it was revealed they were planning a pre-nuptial agreement to decide how much of Douglas' £150m fortune she would get if they divorced.
Zeta Jones has become one of Hollywood's highest paid actresses, reportedly commanding £5m per film.
She is currently appearing alongside John Cusack in High Fidelity.

Is Obama the real poo-bomb for Democrats?
The Golden Boy appears to be losing his sheen.
Americans are getting tired of hearing about media darling Obama.
In a recent Pew Survey:
Advertisement - story continues below
The Democratic candidate's media dominance may not be working in his favor. Close to half (48%) of Pew's interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin – 22% to 16% – people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee.
That can't be good.
Forget the protesters… Obama may be the poo-bomb this year.
And, TIME Magazine has Obama in the poobucket even though Obama leading McCain 46% to 41%.
This can't be good sign for Obama especially if you figure in media bias and the Bradley Factor.
The poll also had this bad news for the Obama:
TRENDING: It's a Cult: Thousands of Whites Grovel in Front of Blacks Begging For Forgiveness (VIDEO)
Despite his highly touted tour of Europe, the Middle East and Afghanistan last month, Obama may be in something of a late summer slump. The poll shows that voters have increased their faith in McCain's ability to manage the Iraq war, favoring him over Obama by a margin of 51%-36%, a five point jump since June. And voters boosted their belief that McCain would do a better job in managing the war on terror than they did in June, favoring the Arizona Senator over his colleague from Illinois by a 56%-29% margin, up from 53%-33% in June.
But, that's the way it goes.
Sometimes these things happen when you pick a Far Left inexperienced race card playing candidate with Islamic-Marxist roots.

with a company as bad as Exede. A Sales Representative from Direct TV & AT&T knocked at our door on Wednesday, August 2, 2017 who promised us to give us the best internet service ever; it was going to be great, fast and affordable. His name is Nicholas Ricciardone, calls himself: I'm sure guy! LLC, CE Retailer/Authorized Dealer for DIRECTV and AT&T Wireless! Along with Vivint SmartHome Security and Exede internet. Phone Number (603) 913-7486.
The way he presented everything was: we will sign up with Direct TV and Exede and the services were going to be great, we will have to have both services attach in order to save money and because we don't use the internet for gaming we were not going to have any problems.
The internet service was installed on Sunday, August 6, 2017. The guy who came to do the installation, made holes in our house in order to run the cables for the internet, we were not aware of this process. Direct TV was already installed and that night when we tried to watch a movie it had a message saying we couldn't watch the movie at that time because we didn't have enough data and the internet was not enough to download the movie, we needed to save the movie and try another time to watch it or increase the data in order to watch the movie. It was also very slow to get on the internet; We couldn't stream videos, watch Netflix or anything similar.
We signed a contract with this company with expectations that we would have decent internet service but what we got was a service that only allowed us to watch one movie before being cut to slower than dial up era internet service. We called to cancel services and were told to limit our video quality to the lowest setting possible, or to pay more for better service.
Exede makes promises of connection which they've failed to consistently deliver. In addition, their call center is staffed by poorly trained and antagonistic "customer care representatives". They are unrealistic and cannot accommodate for the needs of their customers. It's hard to understand any of their customer service representatives and they can't help you, only repeat themselves.
Now they have turned us over for collections for $344 no even a month after we cancelled the services. We cancelled the services over the phone on September 4, 2017. We have already sent the modem back, the disk and all equipment they asked for, I had to go on the roof to take their dish down because they said if they sent someone to do it they will charge me for that too, I had back surgery not too long ago, explained that to them but they didn't care. We received a letter dated October 11, 2017 from Exede stating "Account Past Due", but shortly after we received a letter dated October 25, 2017 from a Collection Agency.
I did look at the Exede contract. It's a 14-page single space document that is full of language that takes advantage of customers.
If this letter is not taking seriously and my bill is not forgiven, our next step is to make a complaint with the FTC so they are aware of Exede's pattern and practice of unfair tactics in violation of federal law, since my complain is based on the very unfair and one sided contract. Exede is violating the Federal Trade Act by taking unfair advantage of consumers like my wife and I.

Irish demand for gay health services up
DUBLIN — An Irish gay men's health services organization says it saw a 5 percent increase in first-time referrals in 2012 over 2011, according to irishhealth.com.
Gay Men's Health Services says it also saw a 20 percent increase in referrals from patients aged 24 and younger, and a 39 percent increase in requests for HIV testing over the year before.
With increased testing also comes increased diagnosis. According to GMHS, 261 men received a diagnosis of gonorrhea, a 43 percent increase; 52 men learned they were HIV positive, a 37 percent increase; and 56 men were diagnosed with syphilis, a 22 percent increase.
Chlamydia was the only illness to see a decrease in diagnoses with approximately 150 men learning they'd contracted the disease.

The vast majority of parents are guilty of distracted driving habits, including cell phone use, while driving, even when they have young children in the car, according to a new study.
In the University of Michigan survey, 90 percent of parents said they were guilty of at least one distraction while driving in the past month, such as using a cell phone, feeding a child, or changing a CD. The survey included 570 drivers who were questioned about driving practices in 2011 and 2012 when they brought their children (ages one to 12) to the hospital for emergency care.
"I had this expectation that parents might do a little bit better in terms of distractions when their kids were in the car and they might think twice about picking up the cellphone," says lead study author Michelle Macy, MD, MS, an emergency medicine physician at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. "But our numbers show that parents are using cell phones behind the wheel when their kids are in the car as much as our national numbers would suggest it's going on."
In 2012, about 421,000 Americans were injured in motor vehicle crashes that involved a distracted driver, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration — an increase from 387,000 in 2011. In addition, 169,000 children ages 14 and under were injured as the result of a motor vehicle crash in 2012, according to NHTSA, although those injuries were not necessarily caused by a distracted driver.
The study asked parent drivers how often in the past month they engaged in 10 distractions across four categories:
• non-driving related,
• cell phone-related,
• child-related
• and directions-related.
The study also asked about other measures of driving safety, such as being impaired with drugs or alcohol, drowsy driving or ever being pulled over for speeding, as follows:.
• One out of five parents admitted to driving while drowsy in the past year.
• 5.3 percent admitted to driving while impaired
• Half of the parents admitted to ever being pulled over for speeding.
White parents were more likely than black parents to report being distracted by directions or cell phone use. That finding may be linked to whites having a higher socioeconomic status, which could allow them to have better access to technologies such as cell phones or GPS systems while driving, according to the researchers.
Distracted driving is often blamed on teens and young adults, but older Americans are susceptible as well, says Macy. Efforts to spread awareness of distracted driving should be spread across all age groups, she notes.
Some states and municipalities have passed legislation to outlaw text messaging while driving, but other things that distract parents are harder to legislate, such as child feeding. Macy says she's concerned parents may not be setting good examples of safe driving for their children when they grow up and learn how to drive.
"I think as kids growing up in a car where doing five things while you're driving is the norm, they're going to expect to be able do that as they're learning [to drive}," she explains. "Role modeling is the greatest concern for me in terms of the downstream effects for this."

What You Need To Know:
There is just something about albums being recorded live in Africa. Israel and New Breed recorded their electric Alive in South Africa in 2005 and the energy and anointing were definitely felt through the album and DVD. Now, Todd Dulaney fulfills a dream of his by recording in South Africa and the result is To Africa With Love. He took his team, did some of his most popular songs and here it is.
What It Sounds Like:
Todd is a passionate worship leader who does songs for church worship teams and the church alike. "You're Doing It All Again" is a new uptempo song with catchy elements that will fit well into setlists. Elements such as "oohs" that are call and response, synth rhythms popular in EDM, driving guitars and lyrics that simply praise to God are present throughout. The album also features a slowed down version of the tag which is a great transition to the slower songs in a praise and worship set list. Of course, he revisits such greats as "The Anthem", "Free Worshipper" and the super hit, "Your Name Great." The latter is continuing to make waves in churches across the globe. Todd highlights and gives props to Illia Jackson, someone who has been singing with him longer than any of his other amazing singers. They duet on "King of Glory."
Spiritual Highlights:
Not to sound corny and cliche, but the whole album is a highlight spiritually. This is what an album dedicated to God should be. The goal is to lead others into God's presence as this celebration in South Africa did for so many who were at the recording. Todd Dulaney and crew did just that. This is another album that can be added to your time of prayer and/or praise and worship.
Best Song on the Record:
South Africa's own, Lebohang Kgapola joins him on "Victory Belongs to Jesus" for close to ten minutes of sheer vertical worship! Put this on and get lost in His presence.
For Fans of:
Israel and New Breed, Phil Thompson, Elevation Worship
Final Word:
Although you will not find an album full of new songs, you will find an experience of basically going to one of Todd Dulaney's concerts/nights of worship. To Africa With Love did not disappoint in that sense.

Starting Roll: €250 - Current Roll: €1050
Yesterday went okay, and ended up 3 buyins up over 29 games. However today I had my first real deviation from the plan, and I'm very annoyed with myself for it.
I lost 5 out of 6 of the first €20 heads ups I played of the day. So far I haven't hit too many streaks like this, but obviously this is going to happen and is nothing major. I thought I'd play a €40 against what I thought was a fish, and despite dominating the game, lost that and was €100 down.
Time for a break perhaps, cool down?
Nope! I make my first sidestep onto the limit cash tables. I wasn't playing anything majorly silly. €2/4. And it's certainly a game I know I can beat...but I'm not rolled for it yet, and wasn't playing it for the long term so it was stupid. I of course couldn't win a hand and dropped €85 more. One table broke up, and I left the other realising what I was doing was unnecessary.
Time for a break perhaps, cool down?
Nope! I go and sit in a €50 heads up and €100 heads up simultaneously. I took a lead in both games, and fortunately for me, I got 2 cold decks in my favour (TT vs AJ on JJTxx, and A6ss vs T5ss on Ad 9s 2d 4s ) and I won both games. I then went on to play sensibly for the rest of the day.
However, this was a wake up call to me to not let this happen in the future. One purpose of this quest is to irradicate behaviour like this, and if I'd held the AJ and raised the T5 preflop like my opponents, I could have halved my bankroll, and I'm sure what was left would have been at risk as well.
There's a couple too many regulars for me at the €20s (not that they're all that great, but solid players who stifle my winrate!), but other than that I'm keeping a steady winrate.
Played: 491
Won: 270
Lost: 221
Win percentage: 55%
Starting Bankroll: €250
Current Bankroll: €625
Cashed Out: €250
Rakeback: €115
Leaderboard Prizes: €75
Avg. Profit per game: €1.97
Hourly Expectation: €20.47
(incorporates RB & Leaderboard prizes)
The volume of games I'm playing at €20 level is still not to my liking. I'm considering dropping to the €15s next week when the leaderboards change as I was actually making more money last week than I am this week, which is probably because I'm playing 30-50% less games a day...

It is an adventurous way to discover a new world music and unites influences from Argentina to Africa and onwards to the Kirgisian desert. A brilliant new band which some of the best in jazz and world music and full of sensible sounds

The Timing is Right for Rio, is Australia Ready for the Competition?
While Australian agriculture is renowned for its high quality product, traceability and food safety, Brazil is fast catching up.
Agriculture is especially important to Brazil's economy, showing growth in 2015 despite overall economic contraction and political instability. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, in 2015, Brazil's GDP shrank by 3.8%, while the Agriculture sector grew. In the early 1990s, Brazil had stabilised its economy and large financial investment helped the country to expand into agricultural technology. Today, farms from small to large producers are highly mechanised, achieving efficiencies and lower cost production.
The timing is right for agriculture in Brazil, with significant opportunity to attract investment and deliver increased exports to new and existing markets. Recently it was suggested that the government might be in discussions to ease farm land foreign ownership restrictions. If this happens, over the coming months and years there is likely to be a significant increase in investment into the sector, providing rapid growth.
Two commodities we have seen the rise of in Brazil firsthand are beef and coffee.
Brazil leads the world in exports for many commodities. The country is working to position themselves as leaders in the world cattle industry by 2020. The expectation is that domestic production of red meat will supply 44.5% of the world exports by then.

It's official: we're half-way through the Ladders course! Time flies when you're having fun, ey? I'm not sure how everyone feels about this, but I'm getting a vibe of excitement combined with terror. Mostly because we're continuously learning and everyone wants to make a fantastic project; something that displays the time and effort us and the mentors have put in.
Thursday kicked off with the Introduction to Project Briefs session led by Jennifer Barrett, the founder and managing director of TICE. This covered the important questions like "what do you want to do for your project and why?", "what do you want to gain from the rest of the course?" and "how is your project going to be beneficial for your future goals?". We're lucky to have such a varied cohort ranging from students, people who want to improve their skills, those wanting to use this as a springboard for business ventures and complete newbies who are curious to learn something different. It's useful to get different perspectives from the group, especially if you're stuck on a problem or need motivation, and it was really interesting to see what people have come up with for project ideas. We were given a project template to fill out, which helped us organise our thought process, set out what we want to do for our projects and chat to our mentors about how we might achieve this. Jenny also stressed the importance of project management, how to plan but also how to DO! Project research for the group might involve reading up on what other people have done, gaining inspiration from this and thinking of something unique that might fill the gaps that industry hasn't yet.
The session finished with enterprise mentor Lee Casey having a chat to us about the enterprise support available through the course. The sessions aren't just for people who want to set up a business right now; they will be useful for anyone who wants some insight into the business sector. Knowledge is power after all. Personally the idea of being my own boss is particularly tempting, just so I can sit in a Pikachu onesie spooning jarfuls of Nutella into my gob, in between very important business Skype calls, whilst underlings make me tea. I've probably deluded myself as to what running a business entails… So hopefully I can find out the truth at the enterprise sessions in April!
On Saturday Phil ran a guidance session at Campus North to help us kick-start our projects and solve any issues we've had with our code. Sometimes code doesn't do the thing you want it to do, which often leads to you staring blankly at the screen wondering "What am I doing with my life?", only for you to realise you've missed out a character or forgotten to save the folder before refreshing preview page. Some programming languages are very forgiving, such as HTML and CSS, whereas others are so picky with how you write it that every attempt makes you want to bash your head repeatedly on the keyboard. Saturday's session helped refresh what we've already learnt so far and add a few more tricks to our repertoire. I'm definitely looking forward to the following weeks to see how people's projects are progressing.

My re-reading the entire run of Marvel Fanfare this past week has me energized about a lot of characters that were prominently featured around Marvel's 25th anniversary. The images from today's post come from Marvel Fanfare #27 and are drawn by New Mutants co-creator, artist Bob McLeod! Click on the artwork for the actual size of the scans. Above, Danielle Moonstar communes with nature. The former co-leader of the New Mutants looks positively divine as befits a character who went on to become a Valkyrie! I would love to see that power returned to her in the recent relaunch of the New Mutants (written by Zeb Wells).
Here's Cannonball, the other co-leader of the team, blasting off in the forest. I love the composition of this piece. The tree branches serve as a framing device, spotlighting the kinetic powers of good ol' country boy Sam Guthrie.
Magik stands defiant, fighting demons in Limbo with her soulsword. McLeod gave Illyana Rasputin a fierce demeanor befitting her warrior self.
Speaking of hotheads, here's Sunspot, also known as Roberto DaCosta making a Sentinel into scrap metal. Chec
The above image is a commission by Bob McLeod that I found while lurking on the X-Men Message Boards of Comic Book Resources. There's always some interesting discussions to be found there.
Check back for more amazing pinup goodness as I post my favorite artists drawing my favorite characters from the pages of Marvel Fanfare!

Breed judging to be on farmBy Country News
The Victorian Branch of the Australian Limousin Breeders Society will conduct an On-Farm Challenge next month.
The On Farm Challenge is a competition in which members can enter individual animals to be inspected, on-farm and in their usual condition, by an experienced cattle judge.
The judge will provide feedback on a score sheet, and awards will be given to the highest scoring animals in each class.
In the Northern Limousin Group, Greta South's Mistletoe Limousins is one stud participating in the challenge.
Stud principal Denis O'Connor is looking forward to the challenge and hopes people will come and observe the judging or just check out the animals during the on-farm challenge day for the area on October 10.
After the three days of judging throughout Victoria, there will be a presentation of awards at a dinner being held on October 13 in Bendigo at the All Seasons Resort.
It is an excellent opportunity to get feedback, socialise and just get away for a night out with like-minded people.
The aims of the challenge are to improve the Limousin breed to better meet current and future market needs, to provide assistance to breeders by communication with experts who can provide constructive comments about individual animals and/or herds, to encourage and support greater participation by members without the need to prepare animals for show condition, to stimulate fellowship between members from different areas of Victoria and to promote and showcase the breed in Victoria.
Mistletoe Limousins will be one of three studs in north-east Victoria being judged on October 10.

2010 was an important year for aged care, with many aims of the Because we care campaign progressed. Here?s a look at some of the highlights.
Nurses took the aged care reform debate to Canberra. Members and nursing home residents travelled to Parliament House to deliver the message to the Federal Government to make Budget 2010 the aged care Budget. NSWNA representatives delivered bundles of Because we care Budget 2010 postcards to MPs.
TV ad campaign to put pressure on the Federal Government to deliver funding to aged care. The ads were filmed in NSW, with the message presented by a family member of a nursing home resident.
The Quality Aged Care Action Group (QACAG) attended a Seniors' Week event at Bennelong, where they presented then Member for Bennelong Maxine McKew with 1,700 pink 'Dignity and Respect' postcards for her to pass on to then Minister for Ageing Justine Elliot.
The Federal Government announced $700 million for more aged care beds, followed by an announcement that aged care workforce issues would be included in the Productivity Commission's review of the sector.
At a Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting on 19 April, aged care was named as being included in the Federal Government's sweeping reforms of the health sector to receive additional funding.
Members and NSWNA officers attended the Community Cabinet held in Bennelong and were able to direct questions at then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd about aged care, and subsequently had meetings with the Federal Treasurer and Minister for Ageing.
The Because we care campaign achieved a major win, with the Rudd Government allocating $130 million to initiatives that would improve the skill level of aged care nurses and explore setting up a national licensing system for AiNs and care workers. Of this funding, $60 million was set aside for education initiatives, enabling 50,000 aged care workers eligible for incentives from 1 July to improve their skills.
A new aged care Nurse Practitioner scheme was announced in the Budget: $18.7 million to be made available from 1 July to fund 25 NPs covering 100 nursing homes.
The ANF co-ordinated an event at a nursing home in Queanbeyan to tie in with the Budget and International Nurses' Day. Several NSWNA aged care members were present and able to speak directly with former Prime Minister Rudd and key MPs.
The ANF submitted an extensive report to the Productivity Commission Inquiry, recommending an overhaul of the aged care sector nationally, especially around good models of care, staff ratios and skill mix, staff recruitment and retention, licensing of AiNs and the improvement of the aged care complaints system. QACAG also put in a submission after meeting with the Commission, and focused on the experiences of its members in NSW, many with direct experience of aged care services for themselves or their relatives, or having worked in aged care.
The NSWNA held an Aged Care Forum with updates about bargaining, national registration and the Because we care campaign. Specialist guest speakers covered topics including the roles and responsibilities in medication duties for nurses and care staff, challenges of attracting new graduate nurses into aged care, and the unique issues of gay and lesbian nursing home residents.
A petition was started on the Because we care website and in paper form, with the aim of collecting 20,000 signatures nationally in support of the ANF's submission to the Productivity Commission. This will be presented to the Commission during the process of it preparing its final report to the Government.
A report by National Seniors Australia, The Future of Aged Care, warned that unless the aged care system undergoes major reform it will be crippled by burgeoning costs and eventually become unsustainable.
The ANF submitted a supplementary submission to the Productivity Commission to specifically detail the ongoing work of the Because we care campaign. It outlines the rationale, aims and key activities of the campaign and summarises the findings from focus groups, research and consultation.
The NSWNA would like to say a big 'thank you' to members in aged care who keep the sector running under great pressure while lobbying for change on behalf of the residents. We also commend the community and nurses in other sectors who support the campaign and the the Quality Aged Care Action Group for their hard work at numerous community events and lobbying activities.
