Thank you so much Tamara I looked too but couldn't find it. This should work, as Ra Kismet will 'fetch'. I'll get a dog frisbee tomorrow when the shops open. Agree, he's a bit stingy with the rewards. I guess I use the verbal cue 'hold' when Ra Kismet brings me the frisbee?

In a world where "traditional values" seem to cause division, one company is embracing a conservative stance and hopes it will resonate with a large part of the country, and eventually, the world.
WonderWe is an up-and-coming crowdfunding website, similar to the well-known GoFundMe, that focuses its fundraising campaigns on "faith, family and friends." For example, they'll promote a fundraiser for pro-life efforts, where other crowdfunding sites would shy away from something like that.
"Causes that advance a pro-life 'agenda' or that advance the freedom of religion movement are akin to scandal in our secularized world," WonderWe founder Dominic Ismert said. "WonderWe rejects this notion – and, what's more, it has provided a home for these traditional values and causes. WonderWe has a very deliberate cultural difference."
Though WonderWe encourages fundraising campaigns revolving around faith, they welcome both faith based and secular initiatives. Fundraising categories range from medical and emergencies, community, education, arts and entertainment and much more. Faith based categories include faith and family, religious freedoms, missions and pro-life. And fundraisers can be started by both nonprofit organizations and individuals.
WonderWe does screen its campaigns to assure they align with the company's values.
"We are a pro-life company, "Ismert said, "and would not approve initiatives that support abortion on WonderWe."
Launching in January 2014, WonderWe not only stands apart from other crowdfunding sites because of its religious tone, but has taken the technology of the other sites and improved upon it. They have the same features of the big name sites, but added even more, including a peer-to-peer feature that allows donors to start their own mini fundraising campaign to raise a percentage of the main fundraising goal. There is also a video share tool, an organization portal that allows several administrators to work on the fundraiser as well as a mobile app. On top of it all, they offer a zero fee pricing model. WonderWe doesn't take a percentage of the donations for overhead costs, like other sites who can take up to 5 percent, but rather ask the donors for an optional donation to cover these costs.
As WonderWe is building its name, Ismert said it has no secret ingredient to make itself known. He believes, "building a good product with great features and aligning itself with the right values is the place to start." From there, WonderWe's strategy is to rely on "the Lord and the goodwill of its customers."
Starting a fundraiser on WonderWe is quick and easy. Visit www.wonderwe.com to get started.

"Loved in the Purple" Synopsis
By su on August 29, 2013 in TV Dramas
Michelle Ye (葉璇) and Raymond Lam's (林峯), much-awaited drama, Loved in the Purple <紫钗奇缘>, will broadcast on September 4 on TVB Jade. Loved in the Purple marks the return of the beloved duo since a decade ago in Lofty Waters Verdant Bow <雲海玉弓緣>. Many fans are rejoicing in anticipation as they eagerly wait for Michelle and Raymond's onscreen chemistry.
Plot Synopsis
The story stems from the classic play The Purple Hairpin <紫釵記> and takes place in the Tang dynasty where Nalan Dong (Raymond Lam) is forced to abandon his title of a royal prince. Nalan Dong then takes on the name of "yellow-clothed hero" as he was the residential hero who offered help to the commoners. Nalan Dong encounters Li Yi (Cheng Cheng 程誠) and quickly become good friends, accompanying each other as they head to Chang'an.
While in Chang'an, Nalan Dong meets the beautiful dancer, Huo Xiao Lu (Michelle Ye) and is instantly mesmerized by her. He sees her wearing the purple jade hairpin and recognizes that she is the woman that was initially betrothed to him. Nalan Dong attempts to confirm his speculations but unfortunately faces many problems on his journey.
On the night of the lantern festival, Xiao Lu accidentally drops her hairpin and when Li Yi gives it back to her, she believes that he is her true knight in shining armor. As the pair falls in love at first sight, Nalan Dong is left in the dust and heartbreakingly gives his blessings.
On the other hand, the emperor, knowing that the eldest son is selfish and evil, searches for Nalan Dong in hopes that he will help him guard the kingdom. And when the empire gives Nalan Dong the duty of spying on the Turks, Xiao Lu goes in his place instead. Soon, the enemy kidnaps Xiao Lu and it is up to Nalan Dong to save her. However, before Nalan Dong can reach her, the daughter of an imperial general, Lu Jing Lan (Tammy Chen 陳怡蓉), steps in and rescues Xiao Lu.
As sworn sisters, Xiao Lu realizes that Jing Lan is in love with Nalan Dong, therefore she acts as a matchmaker between the pair. Nalan Dong rejects the marriage offer immediately as he is still in love with Xiao Lu, unbeknownst to her.
The prince falls in love with Xiao Lu's beauty and immediately asks for her to become one of his wives. Upon rejection, the prince is angered at Nalan Dong for taking her away; therefore, he works together with Jing Lan's father to frame the Nalan Dong. Eventually, after a misunderstanding created by Jing Lan's father, she is forced to marry Li Yi despite lack of mutual love.
The emperor falls ill and as the prince rises in power, he orders a death sentence for Xiao Lu. The kind-hearted Jing Lan finds evidence to prove Xiao Lu's status as a real princess and narrowly escapes being killed. After many unsuccessful attempts of killing the couple, Xiao Lu and Li Yi eventually end up together, and Nalan Dong gives a final blessing as he retires and leaves the city.

ASP.NET catch "A potentially dangerous Request"
Posted by pcfinch on April 7, 2011
ASP.NET has a handy little feature enabled that filters requests that may be dangerous from the application. One of these is a check for HTML code that may be in a response field in order to avoid the possibility of injecting malicious code onto websites. It's a nice security feature, and easy to disable by just adding "ValidateRequest='false'" to the Page directive.
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/site.master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="myWebPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="details" Title="Test" ValidateRequest="false"%>
However, if you want to leave it turn on but avoid the nasty C# exception, that gets thrown when it happens, you can either override the default error page in ASP.NET or the following code can catch (trap) the HttpRequestValidationException exception and render a custom message, or redirect to your own error page.
public partial class myWebPage: System.Web.UI.Page { virtual public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { try { Page.ProcessRequest(context); } catch (HttpRequestValidationException) { context.Response.Write("Danger"); } } }
I'm not sure if this is the official way to do it, but it works.

UPDATE: Shane Stewart & Sally McNelly
The cold case double murder of Texas teenagers Shane Stewart and Sally McNelly is heating up.
In June of 2017, officers pulled over John Cyrus Gilbreath on suspicion of possession of marijuana. A female passenger in the car with Gilbreath told police that Gilbreath was a drug distributor, prompting police to search Gilbreath's home.
During the search, investigators found writings, audio tapes, and biological evidence that they believe are connected to Shane and Sally's murders.
Gilbreath has not been charged in connection with the murders, but has been named as a person of interest.
We will bring you more information as this story develops.

The question I have been asked many times before. Why use anything other than Windows? Why look for any alternative? Well if you're asking the questions, then you are at least aware of that there are alternatives to Windows! I will tell you the reasons. But first answer me this: You have two options. You could go every time to the shop, buy food, bring home and then eat, all by yourself or someone could do all that for you and also feed you with a spoon and all that for FREE! Which one would you prefer? If the first option is Windows then the second option is Ubuntu. Yes it might strike you first, sound unbelievable but it's true. What do you need a computer for? Browsing Internet, playing musics, watching videos, managing your photos, for programming, doing office works, checking emails.. the list continues. What if you can do all those without having to install a single application just out of the box without a single hassle? And the best part is that you don't need to pay a single penny for that! Now isn't it interesting? I have listed some of the features the Ubuntu team is offering:
1. Free and Open source: Yes Ubuntu is completely free to download, install, use, modify and distribute. Now the people using pirated Windows might be thinking "yes, we also get our software for free" but probably you didn't know that some people are working hard to provide you all that for free so that you don't need to steal, come let's honour their work! Using original Ubuntu rather than pirated Windows has some immediate benefits.
- You can get security updates for free (makes your PC more secure and always up to date)
- You can legally use it for business purpose without having to pay.
2. Freedom from Viruses: Yes, the second important reason for using Ubuntu is that it's completely virus-proof and doesn't need an antivirus software at all if you are not too worried about your fellow Windows users! And with the inbuilt strong firewall program, you can now stop worrying about malwares and spywares.
3. Thousands of free apps: The Ubuntu software centre has thousands of apps ready for you to install and use for free so that you don't need to buy another piece of software from this day and you can customize your computer the way you want.
4. New and different look, easy-to-use interface: Completely new and different look than Windows. Mac users might find things a little familiar but nevertheless it's still different. It will take a while for you to get used to it but hey, every good thing in life does. After that you will find it the most easy-to-use and hassle free OS you ever worked on.
5. Works on your existing hardware: Ubuntu works perfectly on your existing hardware and with much lower configuration than Windows and is very fast. So no need to buy new hardware. And it also supports a wide range of hardware including your phone, iPod, modem and a lot of other devices just out of the box.
6. Extremely stable and regular release cycle: Ubuntu is very stable, so you don't need to be afraid of crashes all the time. Ubuntu has a release cycle of 6 months, that means in every 6 months, a new version of Ubuntu gets released. If you are going to use it for your business, they also have got Long Time Support(LTS) version that will receive security updates for three years for free of course.
7. Strong community support and user base: Ubuntu has a very strong community and user support and you can get any help and support for free on Ubuntu Forums.
8. Use it alongside Windows: You can install and use it alongside Windows, Ubuntu will cause absolutely no harm to your Windows installation. And when you're fully convinced, you can choose it as your primary or only OS.
Hidden Gem: Tech Toys host Ankit Vengurlekar on CNN-IBN called Ubuntu 'one of the best kept secrets of the world' extending huge support and positive feedbacks for Ubuntu 11.04.
I have only described a few of the reasons why you should use Ubuntu. Why you should give Ubuntu the well-deserved serious chance this time. Once you get the taste of it, get used to it, I can guarantee you, you will love it.

"Daniel Obeys the Lord," Friend, Jun 1998, 34
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Prov. 3:5–6.)
When King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon conquered the land of Judah, he brought back to his kingdom some of the well-favored children of Israel. Chosen were those who were without blemish, who were wise and well-educated. Among them were four young men—Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. The king told his servant to feed them rich foods and wines for three years, the same food he would eat himself, and then bring them before him.
Daniel and his friends had been taught to eat a more healthy diet, and he made a request of the king's servant. "Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse [seeds, grains, vegetables] to eat, and water to drink.
"Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants." (Dan. 1:12–13.)
The servant agreed. The Lord blessed the four young men for their faithfulness, and after ten days had passed, Daniel and his friends were fairer and healthier than those who ate the king's meat.
You can be like Daniel in the scriptures. You, too, know what the Lord would have you eat and drink. You know what is not good for you (see Doctrine and Covenants 89). If a king, or a friend, or anyone else tempts you to try something that is harmful to your body, say no with the same courage shown by Daniel.
Color the flannel-board figures, then mount them on heavy paper. Cut them out and use them to retell the story of Daniel and his three friends.

Josiah at age eight, when he became king; The temple being repaired; The book of the law; The high priest; Josiah, grown up, standing by the pillar of the temple.
(Illustrated by Beth Whittaker.)
"Josiah—Believer in the Scriptures," Friend, Feb 1998, 10
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. (Moro. 10:4–5.)
Josiah was only eight years old when he became king of Judah. His father had been a wicked king, but Josiah chose to be righteous. When he had been king for several years, he ordered that the temple be repaired. While that was being done, the "book of the law" (scriptures) was found. The high priest sent it to King Josiah, who studied it carefully. To his dismay, he discovered that he and his people had not been living the gospel. He wept when he realized that they had been worshiping idols (false gods). He ordered that the idols be destroyed.
The Lord saw that Josiah wished to be obedient and live according to the scriptures, and promised him that though Jerusalem would one day be destroyed because of its wickedness, it would not happen while he was king.
King Josiah had all the people brought before the temple. As he stood next to a pillar, he read to them from the book of law. He then had them make a sacred covenant to "walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments … with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book" (2 Kgs. 23:3). All the people agreed. Josiah tried all his life to live by the scriptures, and he tried to teach his people to do the same.
Though his people did not remain faithful after his death, Josiah was such a righteous man that it was said, "like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him" (2 Kgs. 23:25).
Instructions: Color the flannel board figures, then mount them on heavy paper. Cut them out and use them to retell the story of righteous King Josiah.(See 2 Kgs. 22–23.)

After Moses died, Joshua became the prophet to lead the Israelites. With the Lord's help, he prepared the children of Israel to enter the promised land. (See Josh. 1:1–3, 9–11.) Can you find these twelve objects hidden in the picture of Joshua: bird, book, boot, fish, fork, knife, man's shoe, pencil, salt shaker, shovel, spoon, telephone? After you have found them, color the picture.

Mariam Joyce Grisham, "Rebekah at the Well," Friend, May 2002, 36
Abraham wanted his son Isaac to have a good wife. He sent a servant to find one for Isaac.
In the city of Nahor, the servant stopped by a well and prayed that Isaac's future wife would agree to give him water to drink and offer to draw water for his camels, as well. This prayer was answered, and Rebekah became Isaac's wife. (See Gen. 24.)
To help Rebekah do her kind deed, color the picture on this page. Then remove it from the magazine and mount it on heavy paper. Cut out piece A, line up the two Xs with piece A on top, and put a brass fastener through them. The arm can now move to lift the jug.

Time was, you could go to a train station in the UK, hand over a parcel (or a suitcase when I did it) and it would arrive at another station the same day. Someone in this new location could then happily trip out to collect whatever you'd sent. Back in the 1980s, this was lightning speed.
The service was called Red Star, and it was run by British Rail. The parcels — or suitcases — went on scheduled passenger trains. Express delivery indeed. It was great. I used it to send my stuff to university instead of trying to get on the train with it all myself.
The service is no longer with us. British Rail was sold off (quite often to the state-owned transport concerns of other nations; the Arriva network in Wales, for example, is operated by the German government's Deutsche Bahn).
Red Star was one of the bits the government tried to sell first although no-one wanted it. It went eventually to a management buy-out, then it got bought by Lynx Express, who in turn were swallowed up by UPS.
Perhaps the vanishing of Red Star was inevitable. After all, instead of one national network, we now have an interlocked series of private passenger train companies. Why would one company be interested in another rail company's parcel (or suitcase)?
If you go along to Brighton station, however, the ghost of Red Star lives on in the sign outside (as does the BR logo). It's just a ghost, though, like Rediffusion, or Post Office Telephones, neither of which exist any more, either. If you go inside, there's no parcels desk. Like other markers on our city streets, it's a reminder of one of the things we just had, which we don't any more.

The Montezuma Castle is a historic building in Montezuma, New Mexico. It holds the legacy of being the first site in the state to have electric lighting.
Built in 1886, the Montezuma Castle is actually the third building of its sort in the site. The first two (built in 1881 and 1885) burned down. They were all originally hotels, capitalizing on the natural hot springs of the area that were popular for their healing capabilities. It attracted visitors from all over the country and even from abroad.
The Montezuma Castle operated as a hotel until 1903. After that, it was used as a training center by Jim Flynn and then owned by the YMCA briefly later on. It was also operated as a Baptist college for a while. Today, it operates as the Armand Hammer United World College of the American West.

Best bars near Red Bull Arena ?
1 answer
There are a lot of bars near the Red Bull stadium and offer reasonable price drinks and specials. I have also been to the bar inside the stadium which has a great variety of beers from around the world. However, inside the beers are alot more expensive than the ones at the local joints outside but you pay for the experience inside more than at the local bar. It is worth going to the bar inside the stadium at least once.
- Riley McDonald answered 5 years ago
I would suggest skipping the bar and heading over to Section 124 which features the widest variety of beer in the Arena. The list includes Stiegl lager (from Austria, same beer served at the Red Bulls stadium in Salzburg), Red Hook, Blue Moon, Newcastle, and Stella Artois. Outside the arena the sports bars are generally located just west, between New Jersey Institute of technology and Newark Penn Station.

You can hit up Casa Vasca or Central Lounge to catch games if you cant afford a season ticket. There's over 20 bars near Red Bull Arena so the options are endless.

Yesterday was one of those breezy but glorious days. The high temperature was 62 degrees and the sky was full of big puffy clouds that occasionally blocked out the sun in the most breathtaking way. When I took Jazzmin out for our afternoon walk, I paused on the way back in the house to observe the way the wind was swirling the tall grass in the field behind my house into shimmering waves that seemed to breathe along with the breeze. The power and beauty of the wind is something I have always admired and it was extremely worthy of that admiration yesterday.
Around 4 p.m. I felt this inner tug and voice telling me that I needed to spend some time outside. Knowing better than to ignore such feelings, I decided to lay a blanket down in the lawn in front of my smaller storage shed and sit on it for a while enjoying the beauty of the day. I hooked Jazzmin to her tree lead within a few feet of my blanket and she set about busily sniffing away at squirrel trails. With my thick green comforter spread out on the ground, I then spread myself out on it and laid on my back feeling the warmth of the sun on my face. By that time, the temperature had dropped into the mid-50's so I was wearing my sweatshirt, tank top and yoga pants. I was "sun bathing" completely clothed as it were and considering I'm not a big fan of tanning it worked fine for me.
I closed my eyes for a while feeling the warmth of the sun on my face and then eventually rolled over on my stomach to watch the huge cumulous clouds move over the back field like a thick, fluffy blanket. Dragonflies flew by periodically, I saw a few butterflies too, and amid the tall grass, I could see red – winged blackbirds, starlings and bobolinks flying up before disappearing back down into the grass. It was all so amazing and peaceful that I was glad I'd made the time to go out and enjoy it.
Another periodic visitor in my gaze were turkey vultures flying low over my house and then soaring up on the winds and out over the valley to the west. Eventually I decided to stand up and walk over to the western edge of my property so I could see where the turkey vultures were going. I was quite surprised to see at least 20 of the huge birds soaring at various heights over the properties down the hill from me. I surmised that there must have been appetizing roadkill somewhere down the road to attract so many of the scavengers. I understand that many people might find turkey vultures and the fact that they're scavengers ugly, but I admire them for their huge wingspan, grace in the air and the essential role they play in the cycle of life. If we humans are going to keep hitting animals that try unsuccessfully to cross the road in front of our vehicles, the least we can do is show proper respect for the turkey vultures who clean up after our mess.
As I watched the large birds circle, I took a few pictures with my phone even though I knew they would just look like dark specks among the clouds.
I had just lowered my phone when I realized that one of the circling birds didn't have the same shape as the turkey vultures. At first, I thought it was a hawk but then I saw that it was much too large. A moment later the sun came out from behind the latest swath of clouds and in the warm golden glow, I saw the white head and tail that revealed to me that I was looking at a bald eagle.
My heart swelled in joy at the sight of the bird and when it broke off from the turkey vultures and flew northeast temporarily disappearing beyond the canopy of my trees I walked quickly toward my driveway to try to catch another glimpse of it. I was therefore elated when I saw that the bald eagle had turned and was now flying directly over me as I stood in my driveway. Tears immediately flowed from my eyes as I saw the great bird closer and there was no denying those beautiful white head and tail feathers. I held my phone up to take a couple pictures and hoped I got something recognizable because I couldn't see anything in my viewfinder due to the glare.
As I watched, the bald eagle flew gracefully from north to south over me as I stood in the driveway, then over my yard and into the field behind my house, eventually soaring beyond my sight over the southwestern line of trees.
The tears were still streaming down my cheeks because I felt so blessed by the visit of the great bird and its powerful spirit and I didn't even bother to wipe them away. I let the tears dry on my face as I sat back down on my blanket, overcome with feelings of awe and amazement. My heart and spirit pulsed with gratitude that the universe had sent me such a powerful messenger. Aloud I thanked the Creator, Great Spirit and my father's spirit for reminding me once again that I haven't been forgotten and that even though I might not know what it is yet, that I have an amazing destiny ahead of me. I am eternally glad that I listened to that inner voice yesterday telling me that I needed to sit in the lawn for a bit to enjoy the day and witness the beauty in the breeze.

Loving God's Greatness
Featuring Bob Kauflin Posted on April 21, 2010
Magnifying God's greatness begins with the proclamation of objective, biblical truths about God, but it ends with the expression of deep and holy affections toward God. We aren't simply reciting facts about God, like students reviewing their multiplication tables. God wants us to delight in him (Psalm 37:4). He is exalted when all our energies are directed to one end—being satisfied in whohe is. "The engagement of the heart in worship is the coming alive of the feelings and emotions and affections of the heart," John Piper writes. "Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead."
Scripture repeatedly teaches and models the fact that truth about Godinvites a response. In fact, we're commanded to respond. "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice" (Philippians 4:4). "Love the Lord, all you his saints!" (Psalm 31:23). "Serve the Lord with gladness!" (Psalm 100:2).
The psalmists model numerous ways we can express our affections toward God to magnify his greatness, all of which can be reflected in our songs. I've summarized these ways as delight, commitment, yearning, and trust.
It glorifies God when we delight in him, expressing the joy of knowing him and being known by him, as in Psalm 18:1: "I love you, O Lord, my strength."Or in Psalm 34:8: "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!" Such expressions of delight point to God's worth.
Committing ourselves to follow and serve God also honors him. "So I will bless you as long as I live" (Psalm 63:4). "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth" (Psalm 34:1).
I've met Christians who feel dishonest or hypocritical when they singwords like "I'll always follow you," "I will worship you alone," or "I surrender all."But expressions like these help us align our hearts with God's work in us through the gospel, especially as we're aware of our need for God's Spirit to carry out those commitments. That doesn't mean we sing song after songabout our commitment while living in unrepentant sin. With the cross in view,we can follow the counsel of Isaac Watts:
We can never be too frequent or too solemn in the general surrender of oursouls to God and binding our souls by a vow to be the Lord's forever: to love him above all things, to fear him, to hope in him, to walk in his ways in a course of holy obedience, and to wait for his mercy unto eternal life.
Yearning to know more of God also brings him glory. "O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as ina dry and weary land where there is no water" (Psalm 63:1). "My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to thel iving God" (Psalm 84:2).
Modern worship songs have made a significant contribution in this area.Some fault them for this very reason, deriding lyrics about wanting, desiring, needing, and being thirsty or desperate for God. Yet those phrases reflect the attitude of many Psalms, drawing attention to our need for God. We do need him! And saying so magnifies his greatness.
Lastly, we can express trust in God in times of trial, suffering, and discouragement. The Psalms deal with our condition in a fallen world. But inthe midst of troubles and persecution, the psalmist never forgets that God issovereign, God is faithful, and God alone can deliver.
Simply rehearsing our problems isn't worshiping God; recalling his character in the midst of them is. Asaph did that in his "day of . . . trouble" (Psalm 77:2):
Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion? '(vv. 7-9)
The apparent disconnect between Asaph's circumstances and what he knows to be true of God compels him to cast himself on his mercy. It should be the same for us. "Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us" (Psalm 62:8).
Magnifying God's greatness, then, involves proclamation and passion.Our responsibility as worship leaders is to make sure that in both ways—biblical truth and strong affections—people have every opportunity to magnifyand encounter our great and awesome God.

3 Ways to Boost Reporting in SugarCRM
*By Katie Liesmann, Epicom
If you are a SugarCRM admin or a power user, then you've most likely mastered creating custom reports for yourself and your colleagues. If you are wondering how to further boost reporting in SugarCRM, here are tips I've learned while working at W-Systems Corp, a SugarCRM solutions provider.
1.Clean Up Your Data
Your CRM data is the "raw" material needed to create meaningful reports. When analyzing data cleanliness, it is important to consider duplicate data, missing data, and incorrect data.
Duplicates need to be merged (rather than deleted) in order to maintain the data history since there might be variation between the two records. In Sugar, you can dedupe manually by using the "search for duplicates" option under the edit menu drop down. After clicking "find duplicates" you will be shown other search results which are similar matches and be given the option to merge them.
This can be a tedious process if you have many duplicates in your CRM, which is why Epicom has built several deduping tools for organizations using Sugar that will do mass merging of duplicate records.
The best resolution for missing or incorrect data is to compare your database against another database that is known for it's accuracy. Some well known ones are Hoovers, InsideView, or ZoomInfo. These companies offer data verification services in which they will audit your data for inaccuracies, and data enrichment services to fill in missing data or identify additional info on Leads,Contacts and Accounts in your system.
2. Increase Accountability for Entering Data
It's important to instill practices across your organization that maintain the integrity of your data. By keeping data clean, you can avoid more costly and time consuming clean up down the line. I've talked about how to clean up your data, so now I'll talk about preventing your data from getting stale and outdated. In order to maintain data integrity over time, we recommend proper training, required CRM fields, and increasing data visibility.
Proper training for new employees is important to not only educate your team on the importance of data quality, but also to inform them from day one on the information they should always enter into the CRM. Required fields prevent users from saving a record without first filling in all the information your team needs. You can create these in Sugar's admin tool, Studio. It's also important not to create too many required fields because this can discourage a rep from creating a record in the first place. We also recommend increasing data visibility across your organization. You can do this by having management pull up CRM data during team meetings, having other departments reference the CRM for data on a regular basis, or telling sales reps they only will be paid commission on deals that have been recorded in Sugar. If you expect your reps to be entering data in the CRM, you have to also create some sort of accountability system.
3. Merge All Your Data Sources
If you have multiple data sources or keep data in more than one database, you are most likely unable to create any report that combines data from those sources. For example, if you use a marketing automation system to manage leads, and a CRM to manage your customers, you wouldn't be able to report on conversion ratios from leads to customers. It's important to find a way to create meaningful reports that merge this data. One way to do that is with Entrinsik's Informer. Informer offers a reporting solution which integrates with Sugar to create easy self-service reporting on multiple data sources as well as interactive dashboards which users can drill down into. We often recommend Informer to companies with legacy databases, payroll systems, ERP systems, and other important databases.
While Sugar's reporting engine has the basics to build ad-hoc reports, you may find that your organization needs some additional reporting power. If that's the case, we recommend you work with third parties such as Entrinsik to find an add-on reporting solution that fits your needs and integrates with Sugar. You can learn more about Entrinsik's Informer solution by reaching out to W-Systems Corp. with any questions you may have or reading a case study on The Linux Foundation, our customer who uses SugarCRM and Informer.

(The name came from a tweet that Eurogamer's Johnny Chiodini sent me - apparently he was/is a Doomtowner! Also a Sloane fan)
So, with the difficulty of getting To Tough To Die in the UK at the moment, it was decided that TTTD wouldn't be allowed in this tournament. So, I thought, without the harsh anti-cheatin' cards from that set, a Cheatin' Through The Pain deck would work out really well.
Game 1: Law Dogs
My deck worked pretty much perfectly in this game: I quickly got out a bunch of cheap dudes, some early income, and some Kidnappin'. Also, my opponent's deck stalled on him, with me being hardly punished at all for all my rampant cheatin', beyond Philip Swinford. Also, it somehow failed a Legendary Holster pull. Had some big shootouts, and didn't pull below a 4 of a kind. Win.
Game 2: 108 Drunken Masters
This game went completely the other way to my last one, with me not really drawing anything useful, and my opponent quickly getting out Shotgun, and Legendary Holster before I was ready to face them. In addition, a combo of Sun in Yer Eyes and Rabbit's Deception meant that, when I eventually did get in a shootout, I had no studs. I wasn't even able to make a cheatin' hand! Loss.
Game 3: Morgan Stables
Doomdog's "Hell on Wheels" deck. I didn't manage to get any of my job cards until really late in this game, and I couldn't force a big shootout at all. In the end, I over-committed to a Kidnappin' (as I thought there was no way he'd let a kidnappin' on Allie Hensman with control points on her go unopposed), and he booted my safety dude, threw down a deed, and took my deed. Loss.
So, the deck still needs work. I think Ike Clanton would definitely help with the influence troubles, and Frank Stillwell is massively useful as well. Being better at not going into a job with too many dudes would also help!
(Also to note: three games, three Legendary Holster decks. What are the odds?)

Last week at the 2017 Restaurant Technology Summit in Washington, D.C. – the second incarnation of the annual conference sponsored by CohnReznick – the theme was "disrupt, or be disrupted." Panel after panel at examined how the featured players were shaking things up in the industry.
In the opening panel, "Spotlight on Restaurant Technology Innovators," attendees got micro-pitches on five cutting-edge companies. Cofounder Prasoon Rungta of emoChili outlined how his company collates online reviews from across platforms into a single, easy-to-navigate dashboard that is searchable by keyword. The company generates weekly reports and monthly analysis of trends – from customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction to the ability to compare to competitors on metrics involving value for money, food quality, and parking options.
Later in the panel, C.J. Babb director of the D.C. region for Rooam (pronounced roam) talked up his service, which allows a guest to open and close their tab on their phone without taking out their credit card, though ordering is still done face-to-face. Founded in D.C., the company now has accounts in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami. And Cherian Thomas, co-founder and CEO of Spotluck, talked up how the company aims to "game-ify dining" and bring "yield management to the restaurant space to increase profits."
For the second segment of the agenda, Paul McEnany lead a conversation with Jon Carter, head of digital for Snap Kitchen. "We are constantly asking, 'What problem can we solve for our customers?'" says Carter. "Ultimately, we want to create zero-friction living for them."
The roundtable, "A Driving Force: Mobile Technology in Today's Restaurant," included Scott Jampol, OpenTable's senior vice president of marketing, who revealed that 55 percent of reservations are made via the mobile app, while half of diners book their reservation for the same day. He was joined by Michael Doneff, chief marketing officer of ThinkFoodGroup, Shyam Rao, founder and CEO of Punchh, and Brandi Scaramella, interactive community manager for Rubio's Restaurants, who all shared how they're leveraging mobile marketing to drive foot traffic, increase profits, and ramp up online engagement.
After a break for caffeination and networking, attendees came back for another roundtable, "What's Cooking? Trends in Operational Technology," featuring Josh Patchus, chief data scientist for CAVA, Brian Wayne, vice president of customer success (definitely our favorite title of the day) at QSR Automations, and Konstantin Zvereff, CEO of BlueCart.
The program wrapped up with "Maximizing Your POS: Percentage of Sales," moderated by Cindy McLoughlin, a partner at CohnReznick, and featuring Christian Guidi, controller for Clyde's Restaurant Group, Justin Rosenberg, founder and partner of Honeygrow, Paul Rubin, chief strategy officer for ParTech, Inc., and Christopher Sebes, president of Heartland Commerce. The pros and cons of kiosks were debated, including a robust discussion that weighed their efficiency against their innate inability to deliver human-level hospitality.
By the time conference goers headed out – to eat dinner, of course! – a lot of ground had been covered. New relationships were forged and new ideas were sparked – and everyone was already looking forward to next year's conference.

Today I am looking back to 1950 and we are looking at a photo that is fully redolent of the era.
It's a family group – and my posts about genealogy will make it clear that family matters to me. On the left we have my brother and next to him by sister. They were both older than me. My cousin, Chris, was clearly visiting for he is sitting on the wooden engine and holding my sister's hand. On the right and in the pushchair – well, that's me.
Let's consider some of the 'stuff' in the photo, starting with the tin bath. That was a smaller one, for we also had one big enough for adults. I don't remember that we used them for baths for we had a big old cast iron bath plumbed in. I remember that bath for it had lion feet. It was replaced in the 1960s and it proved almost impossible for my brother and me to break it up into smaller, manageable sections.
The pushchair was probably a veritable antique too, but then most things we had were. I'll say again that I had the happiest of childhoods, quite unaware of the deep poverty we were in whilst my dad, with wife and three kids, was a student. He was trying to complete an education which had been disrupted by lack of opportunity and then World War II. But the lack of cash meant that everything we had was second hand or in some way botched together. Amongst money saving schemes I recall are lampshades made out of old syrup tins and walls have painted by a process of dipping a cloth in 'distemper' and throwing it at the walls to put blotches of colour here and there.
But back to the picture and another thing that mattered to me – the toy engine. I have no memory of this engine, but apparently it was mine. Indeed, I seem to be seeking out to grab it as my cousin sits on it. I'm told that moments later I was distraught because this young upstart had my engine. It seems the roots of nerdism runs deep!
The photo was taken in our back garden, but the buildings you see were next door – complete with outside lean-to loo. Were these really 'the good old days'?

The LituanicaSAT-1 team have provided a further update on their CubeSat which was deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) on February 28.
As most of you have already noticed, since May 12 the satellite has been set up to nominal operational mode permanently with noticeable 9k6 baud packet telemetry on 437.544 MHz every 30s. However next day on May 13 a telemetry report from W7KKE has shown that a latchup has been detected on 3.3 V1 EPS channel.
This channel is providing power for CW FM beacon and photo camera. Furthermore following reports from W7KKE and LU4EOU have shown that an OBC reset had occurred on Tuesday, 13 May 2014, 16:27 UT and on 14 May 2014, 01:47 UT (9 h 20 min since first reset).
The reason for these resets and latchup are still unknown but currently all systems are working properly. Due to that we prefer to leave the satellite in safe mode during passes outside the range of our ground station in Vilnius.
Best Regards,
LituanicaSAT-1 team

Bruising under the eyes after fillers or Belotero
With fillers becoming increasingly popular, bruising under the eyes after fillers or Belotero is becoming a more serious problem. This is especially so when the bruises can't be covered and lead to missed work or social commitments. There are a number of good protocols out there for bruising, but you MUST ask the doctor/nurse who's doing the injections about their particular protocol. Here are some ideas for prevention of bruising, but any time a needle is used in skin, bleeding and bruising may occur.
Keep in mind that if you have a clotting disorder – even things like Factor V Leyden, a history of clots in your veins, or are already on blood thinners like Coumadin/warfarin, aspirin, Xeralto, etc., you MUST consult your doctor before making any changes in your medications, including the tips below!!!
- No aspirin, Aleve, Advil or Ibuprofen for one week prior to your appointment (extra strength Tylenol is fine if you don't have liver problems)
- Avoid vitamin E and fish oil for one week prior – a multivitamin is ok
- Stop alcohol 2 days prior
- No garlic for 1-2 days prior
- Try eating fresh pineapple 2-3 times, 1-2 days prior to injections. I have no idea why this works, but seems very effective for some patients
- Take homeopathic Arnica tablets (30x) as directed on the package starting the day of or day before injections. Don't use Arnica if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or clotting problems without your doctor's approval.
- Avoid exercise immediately before injections and for 24-48 hours after
- Avoid flying for 1-2 days if you can, the cabin pressure changes could affect bruising slightly
Hope this helps with bruising under the eyes after fillers or Belotero, Dr. Irwin

Yesterday, Bailey and I went shopping and added a new hat to cover her head during all the upcoming ball games. I let her pick, and big surprise she chose Dora! However, I didn't expect the fedora to be her choice. But, I must admit she makes it look goooooood! 😉
For the record, Hasten took this while I was driving…I told him that I wanted a picture of her cuteness, he took this first:
Gotta give him props… She definitely cute in that one, too!! 😀

"In a way, this is a revival of the so-called 'dependency theory', where it is argued the rich imperialist powers are rich only because of the poor oppressed nations and economies. To this is added the argument that the working class of the North are better off only because of the super-exploitation of the South and so are no longer a progressive force in the struggle to end capitalism.
Well, I argued against that view. First, Marx's theory shows that there will be a tendency to equalise the rate of profit between capitals (even under monopoly capital) – indeed this is how the higher rates of exploitation in the South end up in the profit rates of the North. But this process does not touch the sides of the wages of the workers of the North – it is a redistribution of surplus value between capitalists (and capitalist states).
And empirically, this is also true. The organiser of the workshop, Simon Mohun, published a paper a few years ago that showed only 1% of working people in the US got income from capital (profit, interest and rents) as their main source of income. The rest of Americans had to work to make a living. Sure, their higher wages and their social benefits may indirectly come from the super-profits of the multi-national companies they work for – but that is the result of the class struggle over the share of value going to wages, not directly as a result of imperialist exploitation.
Imperialism has two Achilles heels. The first is the tendency of the rate of profit to fall as capitalism accumulates. Indeed, imperialism is a major counteracting factor to that most important contradiction of capitalist accumulation. The second is the proletariat – the gravediggers of capitalism – who are still growing in size across the world. John Smith showed that global proletariat has never been larger in the history of capitalism. In that sense, Marx's prophecy in the Communist Manifesto 160 years ago is confirmed. Sure, the majority of the proletariat is now in the South and not the North. But, in my view, that does not mean the workers of the North will play no role in ending capitalism. On the contrary, they are the key to ending imperialism in its centre."
The IIPPE workshop in London on modern imperialism, organised this week by Simon Mohun, Emeritus professor of political economy at QMC London University, was highly appropriate for two reasons.
First, it brought together those scholars with the latest works on modern imperialism. Both John Smith's new book and that of Tony Norfield have been reviewed on my blog. Smith's book has won the prize from the Monthly Review and Tony's has been included on the short list for the Isaac Deutscher prize for the best Marxist book of the year, previously won by many eminent leftists and Marxists. And Lucia Pradella had a book Globalization and the Critique of Political Economy: New Insights from Marx's Writings, Routledge, 2014 that was also shortlisted for Isaac Deutscher in 2015.
The other reason, of course, was Brexit. The decision of the British people to vote in a referendum to leave the…

Samsung has already shipped 10 million Galaxy S4 smartphones, the company revealed today.
The milestone comes less than a month after the device officially went on sale in Australia. It references "global channel sales" of the Galaxy S4 rather than how many devices are actually in the hands of end users.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy S4 is estimated to be selling at "a rate of four units per second."
The Galaxy S4 reaching the 10 million shipment mark in less than a month is a new record for Samsung. It is the company's fastest selling smartphone of all time.
The previous Galaxy S III took 50 days after its launch to ship the same amount of units, while the S II took five months and the original Galaxy S took almost seven months.
Samsung's CEO and President of the IT & Mobile Communications Division, JK Shin, released a statement marking the Galaxy S4 milestone.
"On behalf of Samsung, I would like to thank the millions of customers around the world who have chosen the Samsung GALAXY S4. At Samsung we'll continue to pursue innovation inspired by and for people," he said.
Samsung says it plans to release more color variants of the Galaxy S4. Among the new colours set to launch in the coming months include "Blue Arctic", "Red Aurora", "Purple Mirage" and "Brown Autumn".
The Galaxy S4 is currently sold in "White Mist" and "Black Forest" colours.

There is only one restaurant in Houston that serves Portugese food!
We wondered about the sign on the rocks. "6 Feet" As if they were tempting us to dive. Our server claimed children get playful at Sunday brunches and parents need to be warned how deep they will sink! 4 bonus points for patio with waterfall and pool!
( I won't subtract a bonus point for each mosquito bite I acquired!)
We were in time for Happy Hour prices! Portuguese wine for $4.00 a glass!
4 bonus points!
Sigi is showing a bowl of Caldo Verde. This soup is a National favorite. The pureed potato and kale soup, looks watery, but the flavor is very nice with a touch of garlic and smoke from the Chourico. (smoked sausage brought in from Portugal)
That would be smoke cod. Seafood is not my thing and especially one that is strong in flavor and odor. But this is a Portuguese staple and it shows up on the menu in many forms. After my last agonizing food encounter with Mutton Stew, I took the easy route and ordered potato and cod cakes! Mmm! Not bad! Kind of like plump tater tots with some spice and chewy morsels of fish. 3+ points for our Portuguese sampling!
Note the formal dining room. We'll have to try this another time, when we're not in patio clothes!
3+ bonus points for Christina who liked being behind the camera lens better than in front! Good sport!

Sheriff: Eugene N. Smith ran over stop sign with dump truck
LIMA — The Livingston County Sheriff's office arrested a Rochester man on felony charges after an investigation into a dump truck running over a stop sign.
On Oct. 5, deputies responded to the intersection of Dalton Road and Heath Markham Road in the Town of Lima to investigate an incident where a dump truck ran over a stop sign and then left the scene. Personnel received an accurate description of the dump truck and recovered other evidence from the scene, authorities saqy. A deputy sheriff then went to a gravel pit on Honeoye Falls Road 6, where he located the truck. The driver was identified as 68-year-old Eugene N. Smith of Rochester.
It was further discovered that Smith was operating the truck with a suspended license. In fact, Smith's license was suspended 47 times (44 scoffs on 22 different dates), the sheriff's department said.
Smith was charged with the felony, first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, and failure to stop at a stop sign.
Smith was later arraigned in the Town of West Sparta Court and remanded to the custody of the sheriff on $1,000 cash bail or $2,000 bond.

No one accessorizes quite like Ariel, but you can get close with these under-the-sea shrink charms — perfect for adding some splash to your style!
Time: 30 minutes
What You'll Need
- White or clear shrink paper for inkjet printers (you can purchase this at art/craft supply stores or online)
- Printed charms
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Jewelry accessories
- Cardboard or spatula (optional)
- Clear nail polish
- Jump rings (optional)
How To Make It
- Print the charms on shrink paper and cut them out.
- To use your charm as a bracelet or necklace pendant, you need to punch the hole where indicated before you bake it. If you want to attach the charm to a barrette or pin, simply cut under the hole to remove it. You can also cut off the white border if you wish for the charm to be completely in color.
- Follow the baking instructions on the shrink paper package to bake the charms in a toaster oven or conventional oven. Watch the shrink plastic dance and curl! Do not allow children to use the oven.
- If the charm is still slightly curled when it is finished baking, use a piece of cardboard or a spatula to flatten it completely.
- Apply a couple coats of clear nail polish to seal the ink on the charm and make it water-resistant. Let the nail polish dry.
- Add the charms to whatever you'd like! You can use jump rings and jewelry chain to create a charm bracelet or necklace, or attach them to a cell phone charm strap or zipper pulls. You can also glue charms to barrettes and hair pins.

Day 1 Cue
Day 2 Cue
I couldn't get the links to work....
I'm going and staying at the Donoho Hotel with Dinner at Armour.
I have talked with Dennis, he has us all down for dinner. No need to call him for food purposes :) I also worked out a way for John K to be at the Armour with us Fogbees. There is an extra twin bed in his room if anyone still needs a bed.
I may take the extra twin bed. Will post later.
Marsha will drive the truck to SAMs, and if you need luggage transported to RBS, it is not a problem. It will arrive before we do. If you need it transported both ways, please make arrangements with Marsha or me on how we will get it to you after Sunday's ride. I am planning either a short ride or no ride on Sunday so I can be home for kickoff of the Titans game! My google phone number calls only is 615-431-9821.
Doug and especially Marsha,
Thanks for providing gear transport and posting it here. At last nights meeting at Bikers Choice at least one person expressed interest in riding to RBS and catching a ride back that night. If anyone is able to provide transport for at person and bike please post.
Wilma will not be going this time so my usual backup will be missing.
Misty and I are planning to spend the night at RBS, but I won't be ridiing this year due Kidney Stones. Oh yes this has been a fun week.
Bob G. Ouch!!
Hey guys.. I'm going to be CANCELING my room... please let me know if anyone needs it before I cancel!
I"ll take it Kristi.
Tracie and I are taking Woody's room. Plan on riding back Sunday to White House with Danny.
I'm going to try to meet the group out in Hartsville at the lunch stop, ride up to RBS with the group & then return to Hartsville after a rest. I doubt anyone else has this plan, but just thought I would throw it out there just in case anyone else has a similar plan & wants a ride buddy for Saturday late afternoon.

UN Climate Talks in Bonn
NGO News Desk :: United Nations climate negotiations will re-commence in Bonn, Germany from June 1-11.
This will be the first formal negotiations to take up the 'draft negotiating text' that has been prepared as a part of the final outcome of December's Paris Climate Summit.
The negotiations begin in the shadow of news that although the uptake of renewable energy continues apace across the world, the 12,000 year old Larson B Icesheet in Antarctica is on track to completely collapse by the end of the decade.
The December Paris Climate Summit is the deadline which was agreed in 2011, under what is known as the 'Durban Platform', for the delivery of two objectives:
Increasing the level of climate action, including the strength of targets and the provision of climate finance, in the pre-2020 period; and Developing a new agreement 'with legal force' to apply to all countries from 2020 onward.
To deliver greater pre-2020 action the negotiations are currently focused on 'technical expert meetings' where ideas about policy approaches are shared. The Bonn session will focus on "renewable energy supply."
There has been a push by many developing countries to also include discussion of targets and finance levels specifically in the pre-2020 discussions. This will occur simultaneously to the "multilateral review" of countries' current 2020 pollution targets.
One of the objectives of the Bonn session is to further streamline the 'draft negotiating text' and to produce a version with clearer cut 'options' for governments to choose between.
In the lead up to Bonn several governments, particularly from rich industrialised countries, have announced their proposed 'contributions' (INDCs) to the Paris agreement for the post-2020 period. Almost all of these proposals have been ruled insufficient by science and it is unclear what impact such dangerous proposals will have on trust in the talks.
There will also be ongoing technical negotiations on issues such as forestry and land-use accounting, carbon markets, and financial reporting.
Key emerging questions for the Bonn talks will be:
How will governments address the lack of pre-2020 climate action?
Will the G7 meeting give guidance on the issue of climate finance?
How comprehensive will the Paris Agreement be?
Reactions from global civil society
"Storms are happening now, droughts are happening now, we demand action now. People are not going to settle for the very weak proposals we are seeing for 2025 and 2030. With current 2020 pollution targets, combined with the frighteningly weak 2025 proposals, it looks like the Paris Agreement will be historic for locking us in to as much as 4C of warming. Governments must know that scientifically, legally, and morally the test for Paris is action in the pre-2020 period. From the Philippines the simple test of these talks are: will pollution targets get stronger and will finance and technology be transferred to those who need it." Lidy Nacpil, Coordinator of the Asian Peoples Movement on Debt and Development Movement on Debt and Development, said from Manila, in the Philippines.
"The leaders of the richest countries in the world are meeting simultaneously in Germany at the G7 and they must have climate on their agenda. We cannot wish away the climate crisis, it will take real effort and real commitment. That means a real commitment to stop funding dirty energy and to start funding the energy systems that people in Ethiopia and across Africa need. If there is no commitment on finance for renewable energy access, or to prepare our crops for warmer temperatures then there will be no deal worth the name." Azeb Germai, focal point on climate at LDC-Watch, said from Addis Ababa Ethiopia.
"We know that climate change is not only about pollution caps going forward but also the historical emissions that got us into this mess in the first place. It's been agreed under the UN Convention that those historical emissions create a responsibility on developed countries to transfer finance and technology. Many developing country governments will want to see the Paris Agreement deliver on those responsibilities rather than avoiding them. The options are there in the draft-text at the moment but they need to be cemented into the central agreement to have force and to give the world a fighting chance of addressing the climate crisis." Meena Raman, negotiations expert at Third World Network, based in Penang, Malaysia said.
"The UN has been talking about renewable energy for two years now – it's time to act. The evidence is absolutely clear, the renewable energy transformation can lessen our climate impact, end energy poverty as well as creating millions of clean jobs. All around the world people are already setting up publicly controlled renewable energy systems to power their communities. Climate scientists, citizens groups, global insurance companies, as well as the World Energy Council are all urging the UN to get behind this transformation. In Paris, people expect concrete outcomes on the ground and in their communities. Another talkshop is not going to cut it. We need real progress not more kow-towing to dirty energy lobbyists." Asad Rehman, Head of International Climate at Friends of the Earth EWNI in London, UK, said.
"Governments are kidding themselves if they think they can walk away from the Bonn talks without getting more clarity on how adaptation and climate induced loss and damage issue will be treated. For the world's most impoverished, marginalised, and vulnerable people the issue that matters most is whether they are prepared for climate change's impacts when they hit, and whether they are compensated for their losses afterward. Loss and damage is a technical as well as a political issue – but it's centrality in the climate deal cannot be ignored." Harjeet Singh, International Manager for Climate Change and Resilience at ActionAid International, in New Delhi, India, said.
What outcome on pre-2020 action?
The Bonn Session includes only one afternoon to discuss the outcome on pre-2020 action, outside of the "technical expert meeting", and this is likely to lead to an outcry from many countries including African and the Small Islands.
Despite the latest science confirming the urgent need to reduce climate pollution to avoid the most catastrophic of projected impacts, the pre-2020 'workstream' has so far failed produce a clear outline of its final product.
This comes as the Bonn session will also see an interrogation of current 2020 pledges under the UN rules agreed in Cancun in 2010. The formal questions submitted by governments suggest that countries like Canada and Australia are off track to meet their essentially zero effort targets.
This follows on from a Ministerial meeting last June which was supposed to see the 2020 climate targets of developed countries revisited, but saw no movement, and the developed countries in Lima refusing to revisit their targets under the Kyoto Protocol.
In fact the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol has not formally 'entered into force' because too few governments have made a proper legal commitment to it, despite promising to do so in 2012.
This lack of action by the countries with the biggest history of climate pollution and the most wealth available to tackle it, combined with broken promises on revisiting their targets and legally binding them under the Kyoto system, is severely undermining trust in the talks.
Several observers hope that a more focused and collaborative approach on renewable energy supply could build on proposals by the African Group of countries for a global support programme to scale up renewables.
A key idea to be discussed is the Globally Funded Renewable Energy Feed in Tariff, which would ensure decentralized community controlled energy access for the almost 2 billion people without electricity – but without replicating the dangerous existing model of energy generation and distribution.
2. Climate finance the key to climate action
The Group of 7 (G7) of the richest countries in the world will also be having a heads of state level meeting in Germany in the middle week of the climate talks.
It is expected that the Leaders will issue a statement that will address some of the issues on the table in Bonn, and their approach will be indicative of the chances of a credible outcome in Paris.
Of greatest consequence will be the approach they take to 'climate finance' – both ending the funding of dirty energy through subsides; and spurring renewable energy through finance and technology transfers to developing countries.
In the over-arching Framework Convention on Climate Change, signed in 1992, developed countries took on commitments to make such transfers, but little has been realized.
The IPCC, the UN's science panel, has recognised that for the world to confront the climate crisis these transfers will be essential; they also reflect a form of justice as it is developed countries who have contributed the greatest share of climate pollution currently in the atmosphere.
Whether developed countries are required to make specific finance commitments or only commit to an aggregate 'global goal', like the $100 billion per year by 2020 made in Copenhagen, is a key dividing line, with rich nations hesitant to spell out the details of how they plan to deliver.
Similarly, whether developing countries can make 'conditional' proposals – where they outline the extra climate action they will take if they receive further finance and technology – will be a central issue. India appears to believe this should be a part of the agreement. Likewise, Mexico includes a conditional promise to go above and beyond their provisional contribution, if such finance and technology are made available.
3. Will the Paris Agreement deal with all the climate issues?
An ongoing divide in the talks has been whether issues beyond pollution controls are included in the central agreement. These issues include adapting to climate change's impacts, dealing with losses from those impacts, and transferring finance and technology.
Current discussions have considered a central 'legal' agreement with a package of other 'outcomes' supporting this. These other outcomes would most likely be the annual 'decisions' issued by the UN conference.
Given the devastating impact of climate change on millions of people, such as the current heat waves in India, many observers are emphasising the need to address issues beyond pollution control with legal measures.
In UN conference language this means countries taking on targets for finance and technology transfers, addressing adaptation, and including 'loss and damage' in the final central agreement.
At the last conference in Lima countries concluded that all these issues should be covered by the legal agreement in Paris. The current draft text includes these issues, but none of the 'contributions' proposed by developed countries do.
Bonn is likely to see further specification of the types of commitments developing countries want to see on these issues and whether industrialised countries are prepared to engage.

Wyoming Machinery Company is growing.
Wyoming Machinery Company is growing.
The Casper-based Caterpillar dealer signed a contract to add additional coal-mining machinery to its business in a move that will create a Gillette facility with 85 employees.
Wyoming Machinery acquired distribution for the former Bucyrus brand line of heavy-duty coal mining equipment. Bucyrus specialized in mining shovels, drag lines, underground equipment, large hydraulic excavators and unit rig trucks.
Wyoming Machinery President/CEO Rich Wheeler said the purchase makes the company's product line, offered mainly to coal mining companies, more complete with the addition of the heavier underground equipment formerly produced by Bucyrus.
�It�s a great opportunity for Wyoming Machinery because our customer base is the same one we have been servicing through our history,� he said. �This gives us better solutions for our customers for mining. Now we have the complete product line that coal miners use to do their business.�
Wyoming Machinery has sold and serviced Caterpillar equipment in Wyoming since Wheeler�s father Dick Wheeler bought the Wyoming Caterpillar dealership for most of Wyoming in 1969. The elder Wheeler�s father and grandfather had sold equipment, including Caterpillar, in Utah. So Rich Wheeler says he is a fourth-generation �Cat� dealer.
Cat bought Bucyrus in 2011 and now is selling dealers the option to service parts and sell the former Bucyrus equipment. Wyoming Machinery is one of the first dealers to complete the incorporation of Bucyrus into its business. Wheeler said there is a �huge existing population of the former Bucyrus equipment in Wyoming. Now we will provide parts and service.�
The purchase includes 85 more employees to give Wyoming Machinery a total workforce of 760 in Cheyenne, Casper, Rock Springs and Gillette.
Coal miners have been Wyoming Machinery�s main customers, but the purchase of the Bucyrus line will allow expansion into the trona production taking place in the western part of the state.
�There is some underground opportunity in Rock Springs where there are four trona mines in the area,� said Richard Oates, the company�s vice president of mining.
�Trona mining is underground and we haven�t been a player in that market,� he said.
The expansion �diversifies our business a lot,� Wheeler said.
The company opened a new Rock Springs Cat facility employing 45 people in 2012. Its Casper plant expansion, the company headquarters, was built in 1976 and is where 41 percent of the employees, 315, are employed. Other locations include a Gillette facility in addition to the Bucyrus location that has 272 employees and a Cheyenne facility with 48 workers.
One function of the large, clean component rebuild center in Casper is to bring in components of the heavy mining equipment that need cleaning and rebuilding. Once the work is done, Wyoming Machinery runs various tests to be sure there are no leaks before the components are installed back in the machinery.
The company hires many of its technicians, mechanics and machinists from the Casper College diesel program, Gillette College and WyoTech in Laramie. The company has four full-time in-house trainers to work with new employees.
Wheeler said this is a good time to plan and prepare, because the coal industry currently is struggling.
�Our whole business model is reliant on coal mining,� he said, explaining that the company has been through boom and bust multiple times and they �are confident that coal will come back.�

It's been a while since I last wrote a blog! What's happened in my world? Well Christmas happened. With a whirlwind of last minute preparation, 11 for dinner and presents, presents and more presents for the girls, it went without a hitch! I brought a new dining table fairly last minute to check we could all fit round (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) I cleared the playroom a bit to make room for some of the mountains of toys! Then we finished the playroom getting the light shade and curtains up, so I actually have a finished room! The tree and decorations came and went and the house looked strangely empty for a while! So no big drama's over Christmas really!
What else has happened? Well the extension is getting there, the dining room and kitchen are almost finished just a few bits to sort, the bathroom downstairs just needs a mirror then it's finished and that just leave the utility room, which has become a fantastic junk room full of washing, drying, piled clothes, boxes and just anything that I can hide! We need to get the rest of the house sorted now but one thing at a time.
My girls, well Bethany is getting bigger and more grown up by the hour! She has an answer for everything, loves the word no and is becoming a diva! Jess was born a diva, no is her favourite word too and she too is getting bigger! I have been told things get easier as they get older but at 5 years and 20 months I am waiting to see this! Christmas has thrown routine out as the girls had a few late nights and now think sleep is for wimps, making getting up for school and work great fun! What do you mean a yoghurt and biscuit in the car on the way to school isn't the most nutritious breakfast ever!!!!
Work has been super busy, lots going on, which I love! Nothing worse than a quiet office and the time going slowly, no chance of that happening here though!
What's happening now and what to look forward to? We are all talking weight and health in the office and I think the time has come to officially diet. I need to lose a couple of stone and Christmas has not helped my cause so January is the time to actually make a bit of effort! I have had a bad back and have been using this as a great excuse not to get off my backside and do anything – but that time has come! I'll let you know how I go.
New Year's Resolutions, well mine are easy – Family and Friends, Fitness and Fun. Keeping in touch with my friends and getting myself healthier and happier, which I think is a great start to the year, let's hope it continues!
I hope you all had a great festive period and I'd love to hear if you have any New Year resolutions or plans for the New Year.

- Data show 60% of iscalimab-treated transplant patients have normal kidney histology at least 1 year after transplant vs 0% with tacrolimus (current standard of care)
- Less than half of donated kidneys last 10 years, so durability is a significant unmet need for patients who are living with or waiting for a transplant. More than 100,000 patients are on the US transplant waiting list with a chronic shortfall of donors
- Data was presented at the American Transplant Congress (ATC), June 1-5, as a late-breaking abstract
Basel, June 6, 2019 - Novartis announced today new early stage histology data in kidney transplantation, suggesting that with investigational compound iscalimab (CFZ533) it may be possible to prolong the durability of transplanted kidneys as well as to potentially improve long-term outcomes for kidney transplant patients.
"Extending the life of transplanted kidneys would mean fewer patients going back on dialysis or needing a second transplant - relieving pressure on waiting lists that in the US are already three-to-five years long," said Eric Hughes, Global Development Unit Head, Immunology, Hepatology and Dermatology. "In our journey to reimagine care for patients, I'm excited about the potential of durable transplants becoming a reality."
The data, presented at the American Transplant Congress (ATC) examines whether calcineurin-free treatment with iscalimab preserves the quality of transplanted kidney grafts. In this analysis, iscalimab demonstrated lower chronic allograft damage index (CADI) scores compared with tacrolimus (current standard-of-care), with normal renal histology seen in three of five patients (60%) on iscalimab vs none of seven on tacrolimus. Low CADI scores have been associated with improved long-term outcomes. The findings, although in a limited number of patients, are to be confirmed in an ongoing Phase IIb trial (Cirrus I, NCT03663335).
About iscalimab (CFZ533)
Iscalimab is a new, fully human, monoclonal antibody preventing cluster of differentiation 40 (CD40) pathway signaling and activation of CD40+ cell types. In a recent multicenter, randomized control trial (NCT02217410), with the primary endpoint of non-inferiority on the composite endpoint, iscalimab therapy showed non-inferiority on a composite clinical endpoint, improved renal function, reduced risk for new onset diabetes and similar safety compared with tacrolimus. The analysis presented at the ATC included patients from this study that underwent either routine biopsies or biopsies as part of a follow-up protocol. The data was reviewed and scored by a blinded pathologist using the established Banff criteria and CADI. A CADI of 1 or less was considered as 'normal renal histology'. The average CADI at final biopsy was 1.6 ±0.6 for iscalimab and 5.1 ±0.8 for tacrolimus.
