Copper: Home Again
When my Vet examined him, the pads of his feet were not worn, indicating that he had not traveled far. So, perhaps that barking I thought I heard really was Copper!

Some folks are just not animal lovers. I see many dogs left outside 24/7 teethered with no space to run and very little human contact. Sure glad that Copper was able to break free and return back to his secure home.

yikes! that's pretty scary story!
and it REALLY sucks that there are people in this world who think it's NOTHING to treat others so badly...whether animals or other people!
that doggie massage was just what Copper needed...some soft touch...and tenderness. poor Copper that he had to go thru...that... :[
(but at least he got back to loving arms)

Oh no! You never told me that. I guess that's when you all had Buddy over for some fence building?

Oh my heart is aching. Poor Cooper. I just can't stand to see an animal mistreated, tied up on a chain, never to get human love and little food. It is a crime for sure. I'm so glad you got him back.

I think you are probably right about where he was! I don't know why people are like that. I remember when I was a kid I had a dog that went missing. I was riding my bike looking for him. There was one place where I wasn't supposed to ride my bike but something told me to go up that road and see if he was there. I did. Lo and behold there he was tied up in someone's yard! I think I was only 8 years old at that time. I can't believe I was brave enough to ride my bike down their driveway. I untied my dog. The man at the house seen me and yelled at me. I told him that was my dog and rode home. I don't know if my parents ever said anything to that man but I know that I would if I was ever in that position.

Thank GOD that he returned to you. That is nothing short of a miracle in my opinion. I'm glad about the happy ending, but sad when I think of so many animals that don't have a loving home to return to.

Museum Store Trunk Show
Experience the Journey! Admire beautiful designs created from original paintings or photographs by featured artists Anna Bateson, Natalee Birchansky and David Clack. This is your opportunity to see the limited time selections of their stunning art through the forms of jewelry, wearable art and purses.
Please join us for the showcasing of these talented artists work August 25th and 26th, normal Museum hours. Free.
Anna Bateson: Born in Belfast in 1981, Anna Bateson began drawing and painting as a child in the United Kingdom. Long walks through the countryside and along the seashores of Britain would start a lifelong appreciation for the outside. Her childhood and teenage years were spent in the United States, Luxembourg, and Singapore. She studied art at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London and then moved to Barcelona, where the beautifully detailed building facades and vibrant atmosphere inspired much of the color detail and movement in her work.
This desire to express the nuances of nature and human experience, as well as the tiny details on which many great thoughts are built, has led to paintings inspired by experiences in Nepal, Oman, Thailand, Venezuela, Florida and her current home state of North Carolina. Anna uses top-quality materials bringing color and movement to each unique piece. Her bags are made using full grain leather combined with her artwork hand painted or printed on suede, making each completely different. Full-grained leather, the softest fabrics, and vibrant colors make these a gift to love.
Natalee Birchansky: Natalee is a Cedar Rapids native. Her college years started at Tufts University in Boston and finished at the University of Iowa in Iowa City where she received her BA in Studio Arts. Now Natalee now resides in Wisconsin, and is a part of an artist collective there. She is inspired by love, dreams, nature, and spirit. She has been painting and making art almost all of her life using bright and pastel colors for her inspirations.
David Clack: David has been a professional photographer for the past 33 years. He started his career as a biomedical photographer at Colorado State University. For years David Clack had the idea of taking several of his nature landscape images and layering them together, creating multiple exposure abstract images. By allowing some of the underlying images to shine through colors and textures appear in beautiful ways.

Whether you're a carpet veteran or a new homeowner with fresh fibers on your hands, there are a number of things you need to know about carpet cleaning that will keep the floors of your Overland Park home fresh and resilient. Here at Floor Coverings International KC South, our experts want to give you the tools you need to get the most out of your floors. Read below to learn some fundamentals of carpet cleaning that you may not have known!
When to Clean your Carpets
A regular cleaning is not just for those with messy pets or allergy concerns. Aside from the weekly vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning, carpets need to be deep cleaned at least once a year. This is an important practice, because carpets – as opposed to other flooring options – are especially prone to trapping in dust and grime. Some carpet experts even recommend a deep cleaning every six months.
Spot Cleaning
In the case of small spills and accidents, a simple spot cleaning may be all you need for regular carpet maintenance. There are many techniques out there, ranging from blotting a spill with club soda, to treating it with shaving cream. One of the most popular methods is to spot clean your carpet with a mixture of water and white vinegar. Cold water will prevent organic materials from "cooking" or staining into the carpet, and blotting the mixture into the stain (instead of rubbing it) will ensure that you don't wear out the carpet fibers in one spot.
Steam Cleaning
Spot cleaning will inevitably be a must, but it is not an excuse to go without deep cleaning your carpet at least once a year. The most popular form of deep cleaning is steam cleaning. In this process, a cleaning solution is blasted deep into the carpet through a pressure cleaning system, and the resulting dirty water is sucked back out. This is a popular cleaning method, as the water can penetrate down to the backing to reach any debris that spot cleaning can't. You will have to allow your floors to dry for 12-24 hours before using them again, but hiring a professional cleaning service may cut this time down thanks to their use of heavy-duty equipment.
Dry Cleaning
Another option for homeowners is to do a dry cleaning of your carpet. This involves sprinkling a chemical solution over your carpets, working it in, and vacuuming it up. While you can walk on your carpets immediately after the procedure is done, this is not the best solution for getting grim that is set deep in your carpet, or for eliminating all stains. This may also cause concerns for homeowners who want to avoid chemicals in the home.

The carpet experts at Floor Coverings International KC South can answer any carpet cleaning question you have for your Overland Park home.

I had lunch with my friend Nicole today. It was so nice to see her because it's been far too long. Her birthday was last week so I went to pick up a present for her, then I had to go to a café to feed Sally before I met up with Nicole.
We were going to meet up with Nicole at 11:30, but at 11:40, she still wasn't there so I texted her.
Turned out she had forgot about our lunch because she was working on this project at work. But she turned up five minutes later and when she explained that she was working on launching the Silent Bus Sessions with Seinabo Sey and Zara Larsson I totally forgave her (I did anyway). Check them out here!
After the lunch we went to this baby singing class we go to every Thursday. I don't know it that is a correct translation but what it is is that all the moms and dads sit with their babies in a ring and we sing songs for the babies. Sally loves the music, but she hates to sit still, so I have trouble sometimes to keep her interest up.
It was raining heavily when we went there. I was jealous at Sally. It looked so nice to lie there in the stroller with the rain cover on.

Darlington Quarry
Sometimes I just like to be around climbing, whether I'm partaking or not. So when I had no plans this past Saturday I tagged along with Jeff, Sam, Rick and Kevin to Darlington Quarry where they would be practicing aid climbing. I hadn't actually seen aid in action (though I'll admit that I've done some "french free"), so I figured it would be educational at the least.
Jeff/Kevin and Sam/Felipe are planning on doing the Direct South Buttress route on Mt. Moran, which goes free at a modest 5.8 except for two pitches of A1 (5.12 free) aiding. This is why we found ourselves at Darlington Quarry on a beautiful Saturday.
Darlington Quarry is not a climber friendly area. There is loose, sandy rock all over. It is heavily vegetated. It is not very high. No sign of poison ivy rashes 4 days later but I'll be very surprised if I escaped urushiol free, since the entire approach was covered with the weed. For these reasons, we figured nobody would mind if we pounded a few pitons.
We only managed to find a few worthwhile lines to attempt, and ended up spending all of our time on the one. Sam did the first lead with no issues. Jeff went up on lead afterwards. A few of them attempted the route free on toprope shortly after without much luck, thus proving how much harder you can climb when you pull on gear. With the main hold already having a hairline fracture in it, especially after already seeing a few chunks of rock calve off, I didn't even bother to give it a go. While we may not have got as much climbing in as we would have liked, it still beat a day in the 'burbs.

BGen William A. Stiles, USMC, (Ret.), 84, McLean, VA
Arlington National Cemetery
William A. Stiles
Brigadier General, United States Marine Corps
William A. Stiles was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps June 1, 1939, on graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy, and was ordered directly to Basic School in Philadelphia, PA. On completion of TBS in 1940, he spent the mid-year season with the USMC Rifle & Pistol Team, attaining Distinguished Marksman status and firing as a team member on the 1940 USMC National Championship Rifle Team. Returning to Quantico from Camp Perry, he joined the 1st Marine Brigade, FMF and spent the following winter with E-2-5 on Caribbean maneuvers during that formation period of the 1st Marine Division prior to World War II.
At newly opened Camp Lejeune later that year, he was assigned the command of the Assault Engineer Company, 1st Engineers, which unit he led on D-day at the assault of Guadalcanal August 7, 1942. His "D" Company saw action in the defensive line at the critical September 13th battle for "Edson's Ridge". During the later Cape Gloucester campaign, Major Stiles served as S-4 of the 17th Marines (Engineer), a newly formed regiment of 1st MarDiv.
On return to the US in 1944, he was assigned to the M-5 Division of Plans and Policies, HQMC, serving in the Infantry Branch there until the end of WWII. In 1946, he attended the first post-war course at the Senior School at Quantico, VA. Back to the Pacific in 1947. He was assigned for 2 years as Force Marine Officer on the staff of Commander, Battleship-Cruiser Force. His next assignment ~after those two years of sea duty again was at Quantico, where he was stabilized for 3 years as an instructor in the Combined Arms Section of the MCS Education Center.
In 1952, LtCol Stiles was ordered to 2d Marine Division, where he served as CO, 2d Battalion, 2d Marines, and later as 2d Marines Executive Officer. That FMF duty was followed by 2 years in the Plans Division of CinCLantFlt Staff at Norfolk, and a subsequent assignment to the= 1957-8 Class of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. On graduation from ICAF, Col. Stiles served with the newly formed J-5 Division, Joint Staff, JCS until ordered back to FMF duty overseas in 1960. At Okinawa, he joined the 3d MarDiv and was assigned command of the 9th Marines, which duty he held until leaving Okinawa in 1961.
Returning to HQMC in 1961 for a second tour, he served as Head of the G-3 (Plans)Branch, then the principal planning support group for the CMC and Operations Deputy in the JCS arena. From this assignment, he was selected in 1964 for Brigadier General, soon thereafter being shifted to the Pentagon as OP-09M.
In 1965, BGen. Stiles again joined the 1st MarDiv, at Camp Pendleton, but this time as ADC. Early the next year, he deployed to ChuLai, RVN, with the 5th Marines and the remaining rear echelon of the Division. At ChuLai, he formed within the Division a tactical ADC group designated Task Force XRAY, capable of separate combat action. When 1st MarDiv Headquarters shifted to Danang in the fall of 1966, BGen. Stiles remained at ChuLai as CG, Task Force XRAY, thereafter conducting or coordinating Divisional tactical operations in southern III MAF area until his tour was completed in March 1967. For these latter actions, he was awarded the Navy Distinguished Service Medal and several RVN combat decorations.
On his return to the US, he assumed duties of CG, Landing Force Training Command at Little Creek, VA. While there, he also acted under US Navy orders designating him Commander Amphibious Training Command, Atlantic Fleet (a Rear Admiral's billet which he filled for much of his tour there). From this LFTCLant assignment, BGen. Stiles joined the retired list on May 1, 1968.
Following his retirement, BGen. Stiles assumed the position of Eastern Regional Manager/Senior VP of Oppenheimer Industries, which was an agricultural management firm owned by BGen. H.L. Oppenheimer, USMCR. Settling in McLean, VA, he acted as NRA Referee for local and regional marksmanship competition, and also served on several local Boards including that of the Army Navy Club of Washington, DC.
From a Press Report: 25 January 2002:
William A. Stiles, 84, a retired Brigadier General in the Marine Corps who served in two wars and held several high command and staff positions in Washington and elsewhere, died January 18, 2002, at the Arleigh Burke Pavilion at Carl Vinson Hall in McLean, Virginia. His death was attributed to complications resulting from strokes and cancer.
General Stiles, a native of Kansas City, Kansas, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1939 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps. A crack shot, he was a member of the Marine Corps rifle team that won the National Championship at Camp Perry, Ohio, in 1940. He was stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, when the United States entered World
War II in 1941.
In 1942, General Stiles, by then a Captain, went to the Pacific with the 1st Marine Division. He took part in the campaigns for Guadalcanal, an epic in the annals of the Marine Corps, and for New Britain. In 1944, he was transferred to Marine Corps headquarters in Washington.
In the decade after World War II, General Stiles served in China, on sea duty with the Pacific fleet and at the Marine Corps Schools in Quantico as an instructor. He also commanded the 2nd Marine Regiment at Camp Lejeune. In 1955, he was named the amphibious plans officer for the Atlantic Fleet. He later graduated from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces and received a master's degree in business administration from George Washington University.
In 1960, he went to Okinawa as a staff officer with the 3rd Marine Division and then as commanding officer of the 9th Marine Regiment.
In 1965, after four years at Marine Corps headquarters, General Stiles returned to the 1st Marine Division as assistant division commander and served with it in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967. For part of that time, he commanded Task Force X-Ray, a multi-regimental tactical force. For that service, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.
General Stiles's final assignment before he retired from the Marine Corps in 1968 was as commanding general of the Landing Force Training Command of the Atlantic Fleet and of the amphibious training center at Little Creek, Virginia.
In addition to the Distinguished Service Medal, his personal decorations included the Legion of Merit.
From 1968 until he retired a second time in 1986, he was vice president and eastern regional manager of Oppenheimer Industries, an investment company based in Kansas City, Missouri, General Stiles had maintained a residence in McLean since 1959.
His wife, the former Adell Jane Bury, whom he married in 1941, died in 1992.
Survivors include three children, Susan Jane Rountree of Falls Church, Hunter Adams Stiles of McLean and William A. Stiles Jr. of Norfolk; two sisters, Rowena Anderson of Kansas City and Ruth Brady of Fredericksburg, Texas; and one grandson.
On Friday, January 18, 2002 at Arleigh Burke Pavilion in McLean, Virginia. Husband of the late Adell B. Stiles; father of Susan J. Rountree, Hunter A., and William A. Stiles, Jr.; grandfather of Captain Daniel J. Rountree (USMC). Also

Spending on Late Intervention: How we can do better for less
Picking up the pieces from damaging social problems affecting young people such as mental health problems, going into care, unemployment and youth crime costs the Government almost £17 billion a year, our new research shows.
Our analysis finds that almost a third of this bill came from the annual £5 billion cost of looking after children in care. An estimated further £4 billion a year is spent on benefits for 18-24 year-olds not in education, employment or training (NEET) with another £900 million spent helping young people suffering from mental health issues or battling drug and alcohol problems.
This report contains further details of cost by outcome, as well as estimated of where costs fall on different agencies and areas of government. The methodology for estimating costs can be replicated for any local area, making this an invaluable resource for local areas struggling to make the case for investment in early intervention.
For any queries about this work, contact email@example.com.
Comments on Spending on Late Intervention:
Sir Tony Hawkhead, Chief Executive, Action for Children:
"This research puts a hard figure on the cost of waiting too long to help children and young people. It serves as a stark reminder of the great human cost of social problems that are all too often preventable if we act earlier. We must listen to children and young people about their experiences: what they say backs this impressive economic analysis.
All of us, whether politician, public services or charities need to concentrate on providing targeted early support to children and young people. In many cases, this is the only way they will reach their potential."

Mitsuru Kamikubo's Kanji-Line: Tengafuchin Typography Art
Mitsuru Kamikubo Demonstrates The Kanji-Line: Tengafuchin Typography Art
Mitsuru Kamikubo, the lead designer of the awarded project Typography art by Mitsuru Kamikubo explicates, This piece is influenced by Japanese calligraphy and street art. For its motif, several kanji characters are combined in a way that they overlap, and since each stroke stretches and shrinks freely, it is difficult to read all of the characters, Apart from its impressions as a painting, there is an intention to make the viewers infer what kind of story is written as a sentence, directing their eyes to the details. The materials used are gold ink for woodblock prints, acrylic paint, and aerosol spray. The frame is built with wood and is coated with a glossy black paint..

Coming Up Short
Meghan G. Liroff ~
"Why so short?" says the four-year-old girl who's here with an upper-respiratory infection.
Standing safely between her dad's knees, she wears a bright pink jumpsuit. Her cheeks are dimpled; her hair is piled in a frizzy bun. She looks me up and down, as if trying to make sense of me.
I can't help laughing.
It's true, I think. At five feet even, I'm not blessed with height--but I make up for it in chutzpah. I squat down to bring my eyes level with hers.
"I'm not laughing at you," I reassure her. "I'm just laughing because you picked up on a major thread in my life."
Gently, I change the subject to her and her stuffy nose. After examining her and finding that everything is normal, I step out to see the next patient.
I'm an emergency physician working in an urban emergency department, and I've just graduated from residency. While continuing to hone my professional skills, I'm also striving to absorb and reflect on my countless human encounters in hopes of growing into a wise and self-actualized person.
It's a tall order.
This shift is busy but exciting. The next patient is in septic shock--a potentially fatal infection. My team and I hurry to place a breathing tube and central and arterial lines and start him on the right medications. When we're done, he looks stable, and I feel a rush of accomplishment: My first septic patient as a staff physician has received textbook care.
Stepping into the hallway, my surgical mask dangling from my neck like a medal, I feel exhilarated--ready for anything.
A nurse heads my way.
"Your patient Mr. Theodore is being rude to the staff," she says urgently.
I'm taken aback. When I first examined him, a couple of hours ago, we seemed to have a good rapport.
A middle-aged Caucasian man, he'd described chest pain starting some weeks back, after he'd helped a friend to move a sofa. I'd joked with him that his kindness was to blame for his pain.
He had the birth-death years of fallen friends tattooed across his chest, along with the words "remember" and "God," hearts and crosses. His exam and vital signs were normal, but I'd ordered blood work and a chest X-ray to rule out anything sinister. Having seen his EKG and blood-work results (all normal), I've only been awaiting his X-ray results.
"He's yelling profanities and acting belligerent," the nurse murmurs. "Would you please go talk to him?"
Of course. The buck stops here. Still feeling pumped about my feat of lifesaving, I head to Mr. Theodore's room.
He's pacing the room and tearing the monitor leads off his chest.
"Fuck this, man!" he shouts. "I haven't seen a doctor yet. I don't give a fuck about whoever else is sick! I only care about me. What the fuck is going on?!"
I notice that he's now wearing sunglasses--indoors. That's an etiquette taboo anywhere, and in an emergency department, it also signals "irrational." To my relief, two security guards, ex-Detroit Police Department officers whom I've known since residency, have followed me into the room and are standing directly behind me.
"I'm sorry you've had to wait," I say calmly. "I'm the doctor you saw two hours ago. Remember, we discussed your chest pain, and I listened to your lungs and ordered a chest X-ray?"
Mr. Theodore stops and gapes at me.
Suddenly I feel vulnerable: Do my youth and my femaleness delegitimize me in his eyes? Surreptitiously, I check that my badge is flipped to the side that says: "DOCTOR."
You're the doctor here, I remind myself. You set the temperature. Don't react. Respond.
"May I continue?" I ask. Asking permission can help to deescalate a potential conflict.
"Okay," he says. I feel the tension cooling.
He sits on the bed, and I stand before him, hands on hips--a power pose.
"I've seen your lab results," I say. "Everything is normal--"
"I've been waiting for hours to see a doctor!" he interrupts. "And I don't care about anyone here except me!"
I start over, and the same thing happens--several times in a row.
His stubborn repetition of these selfish sentiments--and of not having seen a "real" doctor--starts to wear on me. But I keep on doggedly.
"Your labs and EKG are normal--"
"Can I ask a question?" he interjects.
"No! I'm not finished yet!" I snap, stepping closer to him--an almost instinctual power move that, honestly, isn't me. I've been riding the adrenaline high of having done good...Now what am I doing?
"What are the cops doing here? I'm not gonna do nothing," he says petulantly.
"They're not here for you; they're here for me," I say, with a little upward thrust of my jaw for emphasis.
Am I making a veiled threat? I wonder, surprised. I've never physically harmed anyone...I was raised by bookish hippies. I was a liberal-arts major--when I slide-tackled people in soccer, I helped them up afterwards!
Yet here I am, standing only two feet from Mr. Theodore, drawn up to my full five-foot-nothing. I look down at him; he tilts his head up to look at me. It's a ridiculous scene.
"I want to get out of here," he mutters. I can't blame him; I've turned into a bully.
"This isn't a prison," I fire back with fake calm. "You're an adult; you make your own medical decisions. Your X-ray isn't back yet, so I can't rule out something serious like a collapsed lung--"
"I want to get out of here," he repeats.
"Okay," I say. I turn away in surrender and head for the door. My patient's not listening--and, I guess, neither am I.
"Excuse me," I tell the security guards as they slide out of my warpath.
Outside the door, regret overwhelms me, and my shoulders slump.
Back in the physicians' office, I sit down at my computer and feel a mix of anger and humiliation and heat spread from my face down to my chest.
I start to document the encounter: "Patient is removing his leads, pacing, yelling profanities. He requests lab results; he requests reasons for the delay, he is speaking full and complete sentences; while pacing the room, patient does not complain of chest pain...."
I give myself partial credit for my attempt at objectivity. Still, I can't formally sign this note yet; I need to wait until my heart rate improves.
Still typing, I reflect on how I should have handled this situation.
I was immature, I chide myself. Things could easily have become violent. I was once choked by a patient in an isolated emergency room. This time I was lucky; I had backup.
But there's no denying the truth: I feel embarrassed because I lost my cool, because I behaved so poorly and took things personally, because I judged this patient harshly.
Full-fledged doctor though I am, sometimes it's still amateur hour. If the right triggers are there, my youth and righteousness and fatigue and inexperience can silence my maturity. Because that happened here, I failed to give Mr. Theodore the care he deserved.
For one of the few times in my life, I feel small.
I've got a lot to learn, I think, and sigh. How about the next time I'm facing a hostile patient, I get humble and respond to that person's fear and vulnerability before reacting with anger? If I judge my patients, I can't give them good care.
The shift ends.
As sorry as I feel for how I handled things with Mr. Theodore, I take comfort in one thought: Tomorrow, I'll get more practice.

Townsville Festival of Innovation and Creativity
This post originally appeared on blog.up.co
You're invited to the Innovation Festival!
When we look at Innovation we look past the traditional areas of the creative arts and industrial design. Innovation is about asking questions and finding new answers. And the questions can come from anywhere.
Over 3.5 jam-packed days, it aims to harness the creative energies of local and visitors from far and wide, to promote a culture that recognises that innovation is pivotal to future prosperity and resilience, and embed innovative practice as part and parcel of everyday life.
We'll do this by tackling three broad themes: food, finance and fuel. The Festival will therefore incorporate an Energy Futures Roundtable as a specific focal area on how regional Australia (especially here in the North) is to fuel itself into the decades ahead.
Places are limited, but tickets are free! You can book directly from this site. Venue size is a constraint for starters, and we also wanted to ensure an intimate conversational atmosphere rather than run another "stand and deliver" conference. So … scroll down and register. You can also find links to some interesting "homework", and we'll progressively add more stuff here. A detailed program with who's appearing at what panels and when can be downloaded.
Check out the full schedule: http://goo.gl/FXeb53
See you there!

ICMIF's Supporting Member A.M. Best has announced that it has been registered as a credit rating agency (CRA) by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to provide ratings through its new subsidiary, A.M. Best (EU) Rating Services B.V., based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
A.M. Best's London-based subsidiary, A.M. Best Europe — Rating Services Limited, is at present registered with ESMA in Paris, which allows it to provide rating services throughout the European Union (EU) on a cross-border basis. The new registration of its office in Amsterdam, with effect from 3 December 2018, will enable A.M. Best to continue to provide ratings to be used for regulatory purposes post-Brexit across the EU member nations.
Roger Sellek, chief executive of A.M. Best's Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific operations, said: "We welcome this news that our application has been successful. ESMA's registration of A.M. Best's Amsterdam office enables us to prepare for any kind of Brexit outcome, to ensure continuity of our rating services for our clients."
A.M. Best selected Amsterdam for its new European office given it is a well-established financial centre closely matching A.M. Best's strategic priorities. Amsterdam also has an excellent talent pool and good transport links to all the major European locations where A.M. Best's clients are based. A.M. Best's office at the heart of the (re)insurance community in the City of London will continue to act as its hub for the EMEA region and plans to be registered with the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) which is assuming responsibility for the supervision of U.K.-based credit rating agencies post-Brexit.
Nick Charteris-Black, managing director, market development for A.M. Best Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: "The Amsterdam office reinforces A.M. Best's ambitious growth agenda for continental Europe and demonstrates our commitment to providing continuity of rating services throughout the EU post-Brexit whilst developing our coverage in other international markets across the broader EMEA region from London.''
A.M. Best's ongoing plans may be adapted in light of future developments, including, for example, the outcome of transitional arrangements that may be agreed between the United Kingdom and the EU.

I dream about the day when families with transgender children will be able to have classic Thanksgiving celebrations, gathering at the family homestead, kids playing in the basement, a football game on TV in the living room and amazing smells wafting throughout Grandma and Grandpa's big old house. Unfortunately, many families like ours celebrate alone or with a few close friends because they are not considered part of the extended family anymore, or it is just too awkward trying to "keep it normal" for the children.
Even at their best, the holidays are a hard time to "keep it normal," but when families with trans kids start to think about heading home for the holidays, it sometimes takes a special kind of courage and a hope that our extended family will be ready to support our journey. The trips often become complicated because of our lack of control -- for example, when we arrive and find that our long-lost cousins have come home for the holidays. We all want to believe that the tea party bumper sticker on the pickup truck means only that they want to keep their guns, and we hope that their hearts and love for family are stronger than their politics.
With our "protect the kids" radar on full power, we seldom find time for a relaxing moment. Later, when things start to settle down, the subtle signs of trouble put us back on edge. The neighbors we spent half our lives with, the people who went to all our baseball games and dance recitals when we were kids, stop by for dessert. We see them whispering in the corner, and our hearts begin to break, and we start looking for the kids, ready to pack our bags for the 10-hour drive home. But leaving is not really an option. The kids would not understand. They are having fun. They do not see what we see, at least not yet. All the kids playing on Grandpa's old bear rug in the basement have little concept of gender identity discrimination, God bless them. But we always wonder if it will last.
As we try to keep the peace and steer the conversations away from our kids, some of us think hard about just staying home in the future. As the kids grow, the extended family events often become more problematic, and we try to find new ways to keep it simple. Many families like mine just hunker down at home with their new chosen extended families that include LGBT friends, allies and a few good, open-minded souls who have accepted our children.
In our family, we still try to honor family Thanksgiving traditions. When it is time for dinner in our home, we take turns saying what we are thankful for. Every year we remind ourselves that Thanksgiving is about more than just saying "thank you" and enjoying a good meal. It is an opportunity to acknowledge family, friends, allies and our nation's leaders who are working hard to help all children grow at school, at home and in their communities.
This year, as we sit down at the table, I will give thanks for a number of people and organizations that stand out in our lives. The people we have met come from all walks of life; some I met through blogging here on The Huffington Post. They have all brought kindness, wisdom, knowledge and support to our home. An electrician taught me that transgender people have the same hopes and dreams that I have. A well-known author/professor who lives nearby helped me process what it means to be transgender. Two wonderful ladies from Boston who love to hit the bowling lanes and support LGBT organizations in New England opened their home to our family. A UMaine professor of human sexuality encouraged me to continue writing. All these people have helped me grow and keep my family's spirits strong.
As I do every year, I will thank the Boston Children's Hospital and our local pediatrician, counselor and endocrinologist for giving us the care we need when others were afraid to do so. I will thank all the gender clinics that are starting to appear across the nation, and I will acknowledge their boards of directors for having the courage to do the right thing to protect our babies. Without their support, so many families would not have a chance for a bright future.
I will thank my friends Jenn, Susan, Leslie, Jeannette, Mary, Kate, Nick and so many other transgender advocates who have stepped up to the plate to support our children. They are all worthy of hugs, awards and community recognition. Every day they see the pain and suffering that occurs when our children do not get the care and support that they need, and they take action! These beautiful people run nonprofit organizations and actively reach out to teach others about transgender youth.
I will be thinking of Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders. GLAD has kept our hopes and dreams alive. They have taught us how to be strong advocates for change. The work that they do is so complicated but so necessary. Trans families cannot move forward without them.
Many families like ours will be having small, private Thanksgiving dinners, but each event still provides an opportunity to share time together and learn together. Last year, while we were doing the dishes, my young son Jonas said, "Dad, I wish we could have a big family Thanksgiving dinner next year." I could tell that he was missing the trips to Granny's house on the lake in upstate New York. I stopped drying dishes and said, "Jonas, it will be OK. I miss them too! Someday we will be able to do so again. We just have too many things going on right now." I did not tell him the details, but I said, "We can never stop working hard for what we believe in. We can never give up. Smile, make friends, and someday things will return to normal." Then I told him how proud I am of him for helping his sister, and for standing up for all LGBT youth. I told him how proud I am to be his father, and as I was about to give him a manly hug, his sister popped in the kitchen and said, "What are you guys talking about?" I said, "Hard work." She said, "Great! More homework! Dad, it is Thanksgiving!"

MIAMI — When it came time to decide whether to offer Josh Richardson a contract extension this offseason, the Heat knew what they had to do.
"We believe in him — his size, his length, his defensive ability, his ability to shoot the ball," Heat president Pat Riley said of Richardson. "He can get us into offense. … He's a prototype, contemporary NBA player and he's young. Being slowed down by the knee injury last year really set him back, not having training camp, missing the first part of the season. Then having the wrist injury. He just was out of sync and then all of a sudden it came together at the end of the year. He's been dominant in workouts, his own personal workouts in the summer."
So the Heat offered Richardson a four-year, $42 million extension and he accepted in September just a few weeks before the start of training camp. The new deal, which will start in the 2018-19 season, represents the maximum extension Miami was allowed to offer Richardson based on his tenure and contract status.
And the Heat now don't have to worry about finding themselves in a bidding war next summer when Richardson could have become a restricted free agent. Miami was in that position in the offseason of 2016 when the Heat were forced to match Tyler Johnson's four-year, $50 million offer sheet from the Nets to retain him.
"We didn't want [Richardson] to go on the open market next year coming off a great year and face some matching of a crazy contract," Riley said. "We could control our own destiny as a franchise by I think rewarding him with what he deserves. If the average salary in the NBA is close to $9, $10 million, that's where a lot of these guys are falling. … We felt he was worth it and we expect great things from him."
Richardson, who turned 24 on Sept. 15, has looked sharp since the start of training camp as he competes with Rodney McGruder and Justise Winslow for the Heat's starting small forward job. More importantly, Richardson looks healthy.
After missing 29 of the Heat's first 57 games last season due to various injuries, Richardson finally started to look like the healthy version of himself toward the end of the year. He averaged 15.0 points, 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks, and shot 53.1 percent from 3-point range over the final six games of the 2016-17 regular season.
That type of all-around play has continued into the preseason, as Richardson is averaging 9.0 points on 46.7 percent shooting, 2.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 blocks through two games.
"I'm grateful. I feel great," Richardson said last week. "Going from last year not being able to do anything in training camp. Just watching these guys and not having a preseason and just trying to get myself into the rotation and into the flow of things in the middle of the year, it was tough. Just having a couple more practices under my belt and being able to bring myself along at my pace is helpful."
Richardson has come off the bench in both contests, with McGruder getting the first two starts of the preseason at small forward. But Richardson did see some playing time with the other four starters in the middle of Thursday's loss to the Nets in Brooklyn, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him in the starting lineup at some point this preseason.
Some believe Richardson's versatility at 6-foot-6 and 200 pounds is better suited for the bench, where he can enter games in different roles based on foul trouble and matchups. He's received minutes at point guard, shooting guard and small forward over the first two seasons of his NBA career, and can defend all three positions.
"I feel super comfortable. Any of the three positions, I feel like you can put me out there and you're not going to lose a beat," Richardson said of his versatility. "[The difference between playing as a guard and small forward] is a little overstated just because of the superstars that play the three like LeBron [James], Melo (Carmelo Anthony), [Danilo] Gallinari, the big threes. There's a lot of threes that aren't that huge, that aren't that big, so I can match up with those."
So, what can you expect from Richardson this season?
"I feel like I've improved on everything," he said. "The fans can look forward to health this season, hopefully."

ACC Weekly Five: 05.07.12 EditionPosted by mpatton on May 7th, 2012
- Washington Post: Barry Svrluga tracked down the members of Maryland's national championship team from 10 years ago and put together a slideshow with updates. Some aren't newsworthy (Gary Williams and Steve Blake), but I had no idea how much Lonny Baxter has bounced around since departing for the NBA. He's currently in Siberia. Juan Dixon is in Turkey. A few are working with local AAU programs or their old high school teams.
- Chapelboro.com: The North Carolina assistant coaching search is finally over. ESPN College Gameday host and analyst Hubert Davis was hired by Roy Williams to replace Jerod Haase, who left to take the head coaching job at UAB. Davis has no coaching experience, but I don't hate the hire. While I think the opinion that he'll augment North Carolina's name recognition in recruiting is misrepresenting things, his notoriety from people seeing him on TV will be an asset on the recruiting trail. He also just seems like a personable guy. On the other side of things, the group attacking the hire because he lacks coaching experience should probably pump the brakes too. Davis played more than a decade in the NBA; he knows basketball. It remains to be seen if he'll be a go-getter, but I thought this was a decent hire.
- Atlanta Journal-Constitution: With all the recent coverage of coaches restricting transfers, the ACC gotten quite a bit of decent press. After Duke didn't restrict Michael Gbinije at all (he ended up at Syracuse, which will be an ACC school by the time he starts playing), Brian Gregory talked about Georgia Tech's policy, which restricts transfers from going to Georgia. The ACC has its own policy that forces athletes to sit out two years if they want to transfer to another ACC school. I think all conferences should move to this model and get rid of restrictions altogether (or maybe allow one regional rival which would also carry the two-year penalty). Nate Hicks and Glen Rice, Jr., are both transferring from Georgia Tech.
- Hampton Roads Daily Press: It sounds like James Johnson is taking his new responsibilities at Virginia Tech in stride. This comfort is the biggest advantage to hiring an assistant over going outside the program. Who knows how Johnson will be as a head coach, but I think Virginia Tech made the right move bringing him back to take over for Seth Greenberg.
- Raleigh News & Observer: Debbie Yow isn't stopping at basketball relevance. She wants to put the rest of the NC State athletic department on the map and compete for the Director's Cup — an award that tracks the top 25 schools across all sports. I also like that Yow prefers "Olympic sports" to "non-revenue sports" because it's "more respectful."
EXTRA: Unfortunately, there have been more rumblings about schools jumping ship from the ACC. I agree that the tipping point is Florida State. The Seminoles are a relatively recent addition to the conference and have the most to offer a prospective conference. I still believe that Florida and South Carolina have enough clout with the SEC that Florida State and Clemson have a long way to go before being invited to join the SEC. However, the author raises a very good point about the SEC not wanting to allow the Big 12 into the southeastern recruiting footprint (namely, Florida).

Believe it or not the homecare of your oral health is the most important thing you can carry out and it isn't difficult or expensive but does need a level of organization and devotion.
The recipe for dental disease to happen can be summed up by three factors displayed in this diagram:
Of these three factors the natural hardness of ones teeth is the least important.
What you eat and drink:
By far the worst possible thing in our diet for our teeth and in fact diabetes are sweet sugary drinks.
The high acidity drinks such as "Red Bull" and "V" follow very closely behind sugary drinks.
If one thinks that diet drinks are better then this incorrect. These drinks have high acidity levels.
Natural fruit juices also have very high acidity. Natural fruit juices need to be diluted 5:1 before they are safe for teeth.
Soda stream (carbonated) water i.e. carbon dioxide and water makes carbolic acid with an acidity of pH3 approximately.
This is only slightly improved on other acidic drinks.
Sugars in fruit and other foods are less destructive than the above mentioned drinks as there is usually fibre within the food which has a diluting effect.
How do these destructive drinks/food attack our oral structures?
Bacteria in our mouths make plaque. These bacteria consume the sugars in our mouth to create acid. The acid softens the enamel on our teeth. This begins cavities.
Acidic drinks have acid in them already and wash over all surfaces of our teeth and causes softening of the enamel on our teeth and over all erosion of the tooth surface. Long term erosion thins the enamel which is the protective coating on teeth.
Once this is gone destruction will occur.
Bacteria in plaque also attack the gum tissues making them inflamed and easy to bleed – this is called gingivitis. Long term gingivitis can progress to the destruction the bone holding the teeth in and this is called periodontal disease.
The natural hardness of teeth
There is a genetic factor on how hard our teeth are which can vary from person to person. This is a matter of luck how hard out teeth are from this point of view.
During tooth development fluoride that is added into the water supply or as fluoride tablets taken in non fluoridated areas can markedly strengthen teeth.
The use of fluoridated toothpaste can certainly harden the tooth enamel the rest of our lives.
How you care for your teeth and gums
Many people make the mistake of brushing their teeth after consuming sweet foods or drinks. This is precisely the wrong thing to do. As mentioned these products soften the enamel on teeth very quickly and if we brush as this stage a layer of tooth enamel is removed.
If we wait two hours after sweet or acidic foods the protective agents in our saliva will re-harden the enamel and this is the time to brush and floss teeth.
Do not use hard brushes or press too hard with a brush. A good electric brush does an excellent job.
After acidic or sweet foods eat something like a piece of cheese or a drink of natural water or milk.
Our hygienist gives great advice if you need more information

I've been looking forward to this.
Way back in 1987, I was in my first year of college at North Texas State University (now The University of North Texas) in Denton, Texas. I attended a year there before heading off to New York and Paris to Parsons School of Design. It was actually pretty cool to do a year at a big state university where there were Saturday football games, big dormitories, fraternities and sororities, frat guys and sorority girls, and the tuition was cheap. I lived in an un-air-conditioned dormitory called Kendall Hall, which we referred to as "The Sweat Box", and which I believe is long gone. I also drew anything and everything I could. I did our dorm t-shirts, invitations to parties, and tried to get work from the university graphics service. One day I returned from class to my dorm room and saw that someone had taped a notice from the university newspaper, The North Texas Daily. The ad stated that the Daily was looking for both a staff cartoonist to draw illustrations for the paper and the occasional political cartoon, as well as a comic strip to run four days a week.
At the time, I didn't imagine myself a cartoonist, really. I could draw okay, and I could tell a joke now and then. But the idea of writing a strip that would be funny four days a week was not something I had thought I'd be able to do. However, the gig paid (I don't remember ow much, probably something like $20 a week) and I was something of an attention hog. So I put together a little portfolio and some sample cartoons, and delivered them to the editor at the Daily. I believe the "try out" had to consist of a full week of strips. A few days later the editor called me up. He said he liked the week of cartoons I'd dropped off, and asked me if I thought I could deliver every day. Thinking "I doubt it," I said "but of course" and the commitment was made.
The strip I wrote and drew for the rest of the school year was called Roommates. It starred a weird-looking big-headed dude named Lenny Squidenski and his roommate, on obscure member of the British royalty and wannabe punk rocker named Sir Edgar Howington III (named after my drawing teacher who hated me, but taught me a lot, John Howington). The first strip was published January 20, 1987 and ran 56 episodes until May 1, 1987.
Not too long ago it occurred to me that 1987 was almost twenty-five years ago. I thought it would be fun, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the strip, to post the entire run here on MrBiggs dot com. And that's what I'm gonna do, starting tomorrow morning. I've been scannning the originals, which I've had safely stored for a quarter-century. As I mentioned, the strip began January 20, 1987, which was a Tuesday. But since January 20, 2012 landed on a Friday, I'm starting a few days late. I'll run these strips every morning, Tuesday through Friday, until May. They'll appear here in the blog in a daily fashion, and they'll be archived here as a permanent page as well.
Before we begin tomorrow, I would like to insert the following caveat. With twenty-five years of hindsight, it's now evident to me that these strips are pretty awful. The humor is dumb, the drawings are dumber, and the whole idea was fairly derivative of what was my favorite strip at the time, Berke Breathed's Bloom County. To a lesser extent I ripped off Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes and Dan Piraro's Bizarro whenever I could. I was eighteen years old when the strip began, nineteen years old when it ended, and ambitious as hell. Nevertheless, they're my first published work and I'll always love them. Stay tuned til tomorrow morning.

The Italian Confisery market (sweet products generally bought as presents) is dominated by a few players. These products are mostly sold in bars and specialised shops. Perugina aims at extending its market share as the most important event of the year approaches: the Mother's Day.
The agency was required to create a packaging line with a strong visual impact for the point of sale. The line had to convey a strong symbolic value on the mothers day but, at once, had to extend its appeal beyond the day of the celebration.
The line makes an extensive use of flowers, the traditional gift on Mother's Day. However, flowers celebrate spring as well, therefore extending the product's shelf life to the whole season. Consistently, the colors used are all those of spring.
The greeting cards are removable in order to be used only for the time needed.
The packs are cheerful and colorful and are designed to make the shop replica orologi windows more lively and attract the desired attention on the Mother's Day.

Introduction: Blow Out Easter Eggs
Sorry for no images. I just tried blowing out easter eggs with a bike pump. You only need one hole. Just use a pin to chip out a hole in the bottom of an egg. Take a needle valve (the kind you use to blow up basket balls etc.) and attach it to the bike pump/yoga ball pump. Hold the egg upright with the valve inserted vertically in the bottom of the egg. Pump gently and all the contents will come out (all over your hand). You can also use this for the traditional two hole method and not make quite so much mess.

See the Conservative Bestseller List HERE
WASHINGTON, DC – On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump "shattered" Hillary Clinton's dream of a presidency, leaving supporters asking "How?" and "Why?" Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, two award-winning political reporters, answer these questions in Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign as they dig deep into the problems with Clinton's staffers and Clinton herself. From poor decision-making to bad data, Allen and Parnes leave no stone unturned in their investigation of a campaign that seemed destined for success.
Jonathan Allen is the head of community and content for Sidewire, and writes a weekly political column for Roll Call. His work has also appeared in Politico, Bloomberg, and Vox. Amie Parnes is the senior White House correspondent for The Hill and covered Clinton's campaign.
"Shattered is a fascinating read into the life and death of Clinton's campaign," said Christopher Malagisi, editor in chief of the Conservative Book Club. "Many Republicans can celebrate in Clinton's failure, but this is an important read to ensure that Republicans don't make the same mistakes Clinton did."
The Conservative Book Club's weekly conservative bestseller list is independently created and the selection of books for the weekly list is determined by the Conservative Book Club. Data for the Lists is derived from Nielsen BookScan Data, the provision of which does not imply any endorsement whatsoever by Nielsen of any Conservative Book Club activities or Lists.

Series Limited Liability Company (Series LLC)
A Series LLC is a new form of LLC that may be formed under the laws of some states. A series LLC is a master LLC whose organizing document provides for separate sub-units (series), which operate as independent LLCs. Some states do not allow for a Series LLC to be. However, a Series LLC that is formed under the laws of another state may register with the Secretary of State and transact business.
Key Features
- Each unit has its own owners (members) and may be managed separately from the master LLC and other units.
- Each unit must maintain separate books and records.
- As with a regularly formed LLC, the owners (members) of each unit are not financially responsible for the unit's debts and obligations.
- A unit may conduct part of the business of the master LLC, or may conduct a wholly different business.
- Each unit has its own assets and liabilities. The members of each unit are treated under the laws of the state where the master LLC is formed as owning an interest in only that unit, and have no rights as members of one unit in the assets or income of any other unit.
- Each unit is liable only for its own debts and obligations. In general, creditors of one unit may only make claims against the assets of that unit.
Filing Guidelines
Currently, the Internal Revenue Service has not stated whether a unit within a master LLC is generally a separate entity from the master LLC and other units for tax purposes. However, it has treated units of a master (Series) LLC as separate tax entities in one private letter ruling. The Franchise Tax Board has taken the position that if each unit has the features listed above under the laws of the state where the Series LLC was formed, then each unit will be treated as a separate entity for filing and tax purposes. In that case, the same filing guidelines and estimated taxes that apply to a regular LLC will apply to each unit of a Series LLC.
A series of members' interests having separate rights, powers or duties with respect to property, obligations or profits and losses associated with property or obligations, which are specified in the articles of organization or operating agreement or specified by one or more members or managers or other persons as provided in the articles of organization or operating agreement.

C.S. Lewis: Quotes & Wisdom | Inspiration
Listen to episode 297 of the Inspirational Living podcast: C.S. Lewis: Inspirational Quotes & Wisdom. Edited and adapted from the works of C.S. Lewis.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Welcome to the Inspirational Living Podcast, brought to you by the kind financial support of listeners like you. To learn how you can become a patron, please visit LivingHour.org/patron. Thank you. Today's reading was edited and adapted from the works of C.S. Lewis.
"A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest… No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond… Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
"We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road. In that case, the person who turns back soonest is the most progressive."
"Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having."
"Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make a person a more clever devil… The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good, will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
"Even in literature and art, no person who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring a whit how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."

We report on the measurement and analysis of the polarization state of second harmonic signals generated by starch granules, using a four-channel photon counting based Stokes-polarimeter. Various polarization parameters, such as the degree of polarization (DOP), the degree of linear polarization (DOLP), the degree of circular polarization (DOCP), and anisotropy are extracted from the 2D second harmonic Stokes images of starch granules. The concentric shell structure of a starch granule forms a natural photonic crystal structure. By integration over all the solid angle, it will allow very similar SHG quantum efficiency regardless of the angle or the states of incident polarization. Given type I phase matching and the concentric shell structure of a starch granule, one can easily infer the polarization states of the input beam from the resulting SH micrograph.

Four problems users have with MicroStation
And four solutions!
Have you ever had difficulty importing text from Microsoft Word or tables from Excel into MicroStation with the correct text justification, tabs and spacing intact?
Have you ever opened a design file and discovered that one or more reference files are not attached due to messed up reference file attachment paths?
Have you ever needed to make changes to some text in hundreds of design files, requiring someone to open each file, one at a time, just to change a few lines?
Have you ever had a design file added to a project requiring you to now renumber a large portion of the files in the project?
All of these situations can be frustrating and time-consuming.
Is it frustrating not being able to import spreadsheet and word processing data with the correct formatting?
What do MicroStation users do when they need to import text or spreadsheets (large or small) into their design files with perfect formatting?
Using MicroStation's native Paste and Paste Special functions, users often find that their spreadsheets and Word documents become nothing like they used to be. Also, what if you need to paste a bill of materials (or a schedule) into a design file and keep a link to the original spreadsheet? The handling is as simple as this:
- Open your Excel spreadsheet or Word document and copy to the clipboard whatever you want placed into MicroStation.
- Load MicroStation and open the design file you want to import data into.
- Microsoft Office Importer will auto-load and be ready for you to just press the <Paste Clipboard Contents> button. (Or if you don't yet have Microsoft Office Importer, just give Axiom a call.)
- Now data-click anywhere on the design plane to make your paste.
That's it. Problem solved.

Messed up reference file attachments paths?
A customer from a large engineering firm once called me and said that over the weekend, the IT department had changed a server drive letter from "H:" to "I:", which was no big deal to the people in the IT department. However, it was a big deal to my friend on the other end of the line, as this "minor change" broke every single reference attachment in all their projects — totaling over ten thousand design files. Also, for some reason beyond his control, it was not going to be possible to change the drive letter back. This story ended happily, however. I told him how to perform the steps below with RefManager™ and it solved his whole problem. Now I'll share this solution with you.
To make a simple example, we'll say that all your design files were moved from the "H:" drive to the "I:" drive, without any changes to the folder structure. Here's how to fix that problem:
- Open MicroStation and choose RefManager for V8 from your Axiom menu.
- Choose "Modify Reference File Attachments" from RefManager's "Action:" option button. The "Modify Reference File Attachments" box will open and the "Attachment Names" category will be selected by default.
- In the "From:" field, enter the old drive letter, "H:" (without the quote marks).
- In the "To:" field, enter the new drive letter, "I:" (without the quote marks).
- In the "Apply to:" field, choose "Only Vector Reference Files".
- Press <Close> to close the "Modify Reference File Attachments" box.
- In the main RefManager dialog box, press the <Select> button next to the "Master Files:" field. Then select the master files whose reference attachments you want to process. When done, press <OK> to return to the main RefManager dialog box.
- Press <Start>. RefManager will replace "H:" drive with "I:" drive in any vector reference attachments in which a path containing "H:" drive is stored. Case (such as an upper-case "H" or a lower-case "h") is unimportant as this command performs case-insensitive text substitution by default.
It's as easy as that. When RefManager is done, press the <Display Report> button to get a detailed report of what RefManager did.
Now all your vector reference attachments that had a saved path containing "H:" drive (or "h:" drive) have been changed to point to "I:" drive. If it was any easier, it'd be magic.
Keep in mind the example above is a simple one. RefManager can handle all manner of complex modifications, regardless of why things got all messed up in the first place.

Have you ever spent hours making repetitive changes to some text throughout hundreds of design files?
The need to find and replace various pieces of text throughout a set of design files is something that happens all the time for any number of reasons. Whether it's making a date change on every sheet in a project or replacing the prefix on every part identification number displayed in thousands of cells throughout a large set of design files, it's inevitable that changes will be needed. When you have to process lots of files or make lots of different changes, it can be time-consuming, tedious and error-prone.
Say you discover that thousands of text elements scattered throughout an entire set of project files use the words "Street", "Drive" and "Avenue". They were all supposed to have been abbreviated but they've all been spelled out instead. This "oops" could leave you with a time-consuming, profit-eating ordeal. Fortunately, there's an easy and quick way to fix this.
Below are the steps:
- Open MicroStation and launch Global File Changer from the Axiom pull-down menu.
- Open the Modify Text custom dialog box by selecting "Custom|Modify Text…".
- Select the "Replace Text" tab on the "Modify Text" dialog box.
- The <String Format> button can be set to either "Wildcard" or "Regex". "Regex" is short for "Regular Expression" which is an advanced way for matching specific patterns of text strings. For instance, if you wanted to find the text strings "AG22Street" and "AG33Revision" but not "AG44Ramp" you could use a regular expression that would enable you to find just the first two and exclude the last one. This allows for more sophisticated search and replace functions to be performed in a single operation. For this example, we will just use "Wildcard".
- Enter the text value you are searching for in the "Search String" field and what you want it replaced with in the "Replacement String" field.
- Click the <Add> button to add it to the list of replacement combinations.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each search and replace combination you want to make.
- After they are all entered, click the <OK> button and you will be prompted to save this list of changes. Save the file with any name and location you want. (This is so you can use it later if you like.)
- You will be returned to Global File Changer's main dialog box, where all you have left to do is choose the files you want to process and click the <Start> button to make the replacements you just defined to every file in the list automatically.
Within just a few minutes, the text replacements will be complete in all the targeted design files.

How do you quickly renumber 237 sheets?
Imagine that your project is due out on Monday. Your project team spent the weekend putting the final touches on the job. All the 237 sheets have been plotted for the final check. Everything appears to be in order and the tension is starting to ease. Then all of sudden a blood-curdling scream resonates throughout the office. The sheet numbers are wrong. The sheet total is off by one on every sheet and every sheet number higher than 17 is off by one.
Now raise your hand if you would manually open all 237 sheets to edit text? That is just how it has always been done and it works just fine as long you want to spend the entire afternoon editing text in 237 separate sheet files. If you can modify one sheet in one minute, stay on task, not get any phone calls, and not make any mistakes, then we are talking three hours and 57 minutes just to modify the text.
You can break it up and give sections to different people to hurry things along. That could make it go faster, or it could just make things worse and increase the chances for error. Let's round it up to four man-hours just for editing the design files. I don't remember the last time that I had four hours uninterrupted.
Fortunately, there is another option. It takes about five minutes:
- Open MicroStation and start Title Block Administrator.™
- With Title Block Administrator loaded, click on the <Select…> button next the "Database" field. Navigate to and select your Microsoft Excel (or Access) database.
- Click on the <Edit Database> button on the Title Block Administrator main dialog box. This will open the database selected in step 2 above.
- Increment the values in the "Sheet" column to accommodate the renumbering. Save and close the database.
- Press the <Select > button next to the "Design Files:" field in the main Title Block Administrator dialog box. This will load the "Choose Files to Process" dialog box that allows you to select the sheet files for processing.
- Set "Action:" to <Update selected files from database>. Click <Start>.
- Check your e-mail, get some coffee and a few minutes later the job is complete.
Which scenario sounds better — the one that takes you four hours or the one that takes about five minutes?

|Playing outside and being silly. (Bottom-Right) Math at the car dealership. I love my Volvo, but the regular maintenance takes forever. It was a total of 6 hours Thursday for our drive to the dealership and the wait.
|(TOP)Build-A-Bear fun (BOTTOM-LEFT) Kinetic Sand... Amber tolerates this feeling and it helps as a sensory activity. (BOTTOM-RIGHT) Another new LEGO kit.
|(LEFT) Strawberry with plain greek yogurt (RIGHT) Flute practice. She has moved to longer lessons each week, and so practices more each day too.
There is an update on our adoption status, however it needs to wait a bit before being published. I'm feeling much more at peace right now though.
Today Amber and I did a bit of shopping, playing together, and just resting. Our temperatures are supposed to become more seasonable next week, so we are trying to make the most out of the remainder of the mild and tolerable weather.
|Shopping with Grandma too. We love to try on the masks. It's so much fun!
Happy Weekend!

Research libraries have long collected and preserved the documents and publications of domestic and foreign governments, and have acquired in microform the archives of many of those regimes. In this way, they ensure that information and documentary evidence vital to scholarship remains available for the long term.
The digital environment brings new complexities and uncertainties to this task. The immense oceans of information that government agencies produce and collect today, and the inherent fluidity and impermanence of digital media, require a fundamental rethinking of longstanding preservation practices.
At the same time, those very technologies are creating tremendous new possibilities for information access and management. Governments worldwide are committing to "open data," and a growing legion of activists and entrepreneurs are now embracing government transparency as a cause, and even a business opportunity.
Clearly, for CRL and the North American research libraries concerned about the continued integrity and accessibility of information, the times call for a new playbook. The 2014 Global Resources Forum Leviathan: Libraries and Government Information in the Age of Big Data, convened by CRL on April 24–25, explored these new realities and examined the complexities and opportunities they present. Forum speakers identified ways in which "e-government" imperils the long-term integrity and accessibility of information. The discussions yielded five broad strategies that research libraries, individually and collectively, can adopt to address those threats.
The Leviathan presentations and discussions are now archived online at: www.crl.edu/leviathan. This issue of FOCUS offers a synopsis of the challenges and strategies identified. The Leviathan conversations will form the foundation for CRL planning and priorities in the field of government information for the coming years. While the activities called for may not resemble those one traditionally associates with CRL, we believe that they are suited to the challenges we face.

Square is a great tool for arts organizations that sell both tickets and merchandise. The tool set is seamlessly integrated with other applications to enable accounting services, inventory management, social analytics, and shipping fulfillment. Payments can easily be processed anywhere with the Square Register app and the Square credit card reader (for smartphones and tablets). The Square reader is free, credit card processing fees are just 2.75%, and there are no monthly fees for basic Square applications. An organization can set up a free online store through Square's website, and sales can be compared against inventory on-the-go. The most basic Square functions can be set up in under an hour! Square can be utilized by arts organizations to sell branded merchandise, or even by independent artists, like the participants of Artists & Fleas pop-up craft fair, to sell works of art.
The advantage of Square for arts organizations is that it offers more features than other comparable mobile processing systems without monthly fees. One extremely useful feature for arts organizations is the Square Feedback tool. With this tool, customers can provide feedback directly to the organization, as opposed to on social media (publicly). For arts organizations frequently under fire by their customers, this feature may help to manage criticism.
Another useful feature for arts organizations is the option for a rewards/loyalty program- digital punchcards based on spending. The arts organization can cultivate long-term relationships with customers and track their rewards activities easily by email addresses.
Lastly, Square offers opportunities not only for arts organizations' sales, but also for donations. Donors can send cash via the Square Cash app, or make a donation as a purchase in the organization's online store.
