This is my book haul on April 2013 :)
I used to pre-order this book, but since I also ordered 2 books and I couldn't hide the books when they came to my house (lol), I intended to buy this on the bookstore. Glad this series came pretty fast in Periplus! I've read this, I love it but the last 11 pages ruined my heart.
I want to read this book because I love prince and princess things XD And it sounds like Cinderella. I love Cinderella, but I don't like her prince. I heard The Selection has a way better prince and I attract to read this :) I ordered this from opentrolley and I also made a review about the bookstore here.
Mann, finally I got this book after spending days with all the sequels stay on plastic at home. Now my Caster Chronicles are complete, I can beat them in a row without being hung for the next book, probably on May or June.
I ordered this along with Beautiful Creatures. I can't wait to read this book, but I need to get Boundless first because I won't spend another laziness of reading after read Cynthia Hand's book. Unearthly made me spending 2 weeks of dreading of waiting the 2nd book to be in stock.
I ordered this since last month, and again it arrived this month :) I'm gonna read it next month along with Hallowed. I'm excited with what will happen on the books! The cover is so pretty!
If you see my book blogs, you'll find that I mentioned about The Darkest Minds a lot. I intended to buy another Alexandra Bracken book because I'm in love with TDM <33333
I'm broke and I have some unread books. I just kept buying with less reading. I do book buying ban and I won't buy any book until I finnish 6 books starting on April... I have finnished 2 books so far, I'm totally a slow reader XD
I broke it within a week. I still bought 2 more books. I know.. I'm so bad..
I watched MsElskie's review on youtube about this book and I was really fascinated to buy it. Because I'm still on book buying ban, I thought I would buy it a couple month later. But what.. MsElskie put this book on her top 10 stand alone books. I ended up forgetting my book buying ban because I need that book asap, went to Periplus and they have it in hardcover. I went Books and Beyond GMP and the book was out of stock. I went to B&B Plaza Semanggi and bad luck, it was also out of stock. I was hopeless, but B&B staff offered me to wait for some hours and he was willing to get the book on other B&B store. OMG HOLY I'M SO BLESSED. I waited, watched Beautiful Creatures, and I got the book. Thank you so much B&B!!

MsElskie's review Wonder by RJ Palacio
I'd been wanting to bought this book for long, but because I have a bunch of wishlist, this book was kinda forgotten. And when I was in B&B looking for Wonder, I found Delirium with good price. Rp 89.000 and I bought it.
And I promise to myself I won't buy any more books until finnishing 6 books.. Wish me luck :""D
On March I've done only 1 book. HAHAHAHAHAHA. It keeps decreasing since January. On January I could read 4 books, and 3 books on February. Now I only read 1 lol. I was kinda on reading slump in the beginning of March after reading Unearthly. I've gone to far to Jackson Hole and couldn't finnish another book. I got my spirit again after The Darkest Minds came to my hand. That was the first book I've done on March. I really love that book, I even mentioned it in my blog many times lol.
I make a review of The Darkest Minds, also a book talk.

I also tried to read Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, with terribly sorry I read it on my reading slump after Unearthly and continued after TDM (which made me super involved with the book for definitely long time).
I was like this for a week after finnishing TDM.....

2012: Advent Atmosphere: Algae
In the primordial soup era, when life first got started on Earth, it was anaerobic life. It worked without needing oxygen. It had to, because there wasn't any oxygen around. At this point, the Earth still had a reducing atmosphere.
Right now, we have an oxidising atmoshere. If you leave iron sitting around where the air can get to it, it'll rust – it'll be oxidised by the atmosphere. Reduction reactions are sort of the opposite of that. That's an oversimplification, but it'll do for now. The long-ago atmosphere had almost no oxygen in it, tended to strip oxygen out of things it was in contact with, and reacted with things in ways sort-of-opposite to how it does now.
Life got its start in that kind of atmosphere, probably looking a bit like the things you find now around deep-sea vents, getting their energy from the minerals in the water. So when a species of algae hit on a clever trick for using energy from the sun instead, that was bad new for everything else. Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a waste product. If you're photosynthesising, you don't want oxygen. It's no use for that reaction. So you dump it into the surrounding air, just to get rid of it.
It didn't happen overnight. It took time. Some things managed to adapt. But plenty of things didn't. The blue-green algae spread and thrived and vented toxic oxygen into the air, and as the poison built up, the Earth had its first mass extinction.

The New Mother's Guide to Newborn and Infant Visitation
If you are a first time mother and separated from your baby's father, you may not even know where to begin dealing with custody issues. Use this guide to help you get started.
Custody X Change is software that creates professional parenting plan documents and parenting schedules.
The good news is that in most states an unwed mother is considered to be the natural custodian of the child. This means that unless your ex goes to court and files for custody, you have sole custody of your baby.
Many states require that fathers establish paternity before they can get custody of or visitation with a child. You may want to check out the laws pertaining to child custody and visitation where you live.
Sometimes paternity can be established if both parents agree that the man is the father or when the father signs the birth certificate, while some states require DNA testing. The rules for establishing paternity vary from state to state.
Once paternity is established, your custody case can begin. You will quickly learn that unless you and your ex are able to present the judge with a mutually agreed upon parenting plan and infant visitation schedule, you are going to have to return to court several times. The custody process may take months or even years to complete.
One of the things the judge considers when making a custody ruling is which parent is more likely to allow the other parent to have access to the child.
If you are able to demonstrate to the court that you created a temporary newborn visitation schedule that allowed your ex to spend time with the baby it will show the court that you care about your child. The court will appreciate your willingness to allow the other parent to be in the child's life.
Here are a few basic things to keep in mind when making and starting your schedule.
When you create your visitation schedule, you should make sure that your ex is available to visit the baby on the days and times you list in the plan. The best way to do this is to work with your ex and try to figure something out. Choose visitation times that are convenient for both of you and that won't disrupt the baby's schedule.
Babies should be afforded the opportunity to bond with the other parent. Many experts agree that shorter yet more frequent visits are better for babies. It would be far more advantageous for the baby to see the other parent four times a week for two hours at a time than for one eight hour visit per week. Frequency is much more important than the duration of a visit when it applies to babies.
If your ex fails to show up for the visits you should keep track of what really happens. The judge will be very interested to know if he only came two out of the eight assigned visits in a two week period. The judge isn't going to look very favorably on a parent that is disinterested in their own child.
If your ex shows up to every visit without fail—consider yourself lucky that your little one has a good and loving father. Parenting isn't only a right, it is a responsibility. Sometimes life is unpredictable and unforeseen events may interfere with visitation. Missing one visit doesn't mean he is a horrible father. The problem occurs when this behavior becomes a pattern.
If you can set your differences aside and create a parenting plan and child visitation schedule that focuses on what is best for your baby, you will have a solid foundation on which your future schedules will be based.
Your visitation schedule will need to be modified as your child grows and needs change. Maintaining a professional approach to dealing with the other parent now should prove to work out for you in the long run.

Ever since you can remember, people have been telling you how necessary, how crucial, extracurricular activities are for your college resume. In addition to top grades and stellar test scores, a schedule packed with impressive extracurriculars is an absolute must. At least, that's what everyone says. But is it true?
The answer depends on how you define "extracurricular" and what you make of it.
The most selective colleges are indeed interested in how you spend your time outside of class. Very interested. They want to know you're not just another academic grind—that you're a fully developed person with a range of abilities and interests. If you happen to have a serious talent, or an area of special expertise, they'll be especially impressed.
But, if you think you need to be the captain of both your high school lacrosse and debating teams, to edit your school newspaper, be chief fundraiser for three afterschool clubs, head of the prom committee, and spend your summers building housing for the poor in Sumatra, you don't get it. And if your mom or dad is pushing you to spread yourself this thin… ask them to stop.

Modeling Individuals' Behavior: Evaluation of a Policymaker's Tool
Alan L. Gustman
NBER Working Paper No. 1223 (Also Reprint No. r0484)
With a continuous decline in the cost of manipulating data and a continuous increase in the richness of data banks, policymakers have increasing opportunities to build and apply so-called micro-simulation models--modelsthat attempt to simulate the behavior of the individuals in a large population under a specified program. The efforts of the Department of Labor to use a model in evaluating proposed changes in the unemployment insurance system point up both the power and the weaknesses of such models. Any user who applies these models without attempting to understand which of their strengths and weaknesses are most important for analyzing the problem at hand is asking for trouble. Easy to use or not,these models are not user friendly.

This is required viewing for anyone passionate about web 2.0 or social media..
Sometimes you listen to a podcast or watch a video and your head starts spinning. You can't finish the podcast without taking copious notes, pausing to think about a business idea, and it takes a long time to finish the cast.
Tim OReilly's Feb 20th keynote address is such a videocast.
He does an excellent job explaining web 2.0 concepts in a very easy and compelling way. He gives a very good shakedown on how this 'new world' has taken shape and why it is important. And you can see the video and get the presentation slides to boot!
Excellent fodder for sr. mgt or executives that need to educate themselves on web 2.0.

One of the most buzzed-about topics in games in recent years has been and continues to be cross-play. Now, one prominent developer has spoken up to talk about the benefits of allowing players on competing systems to play together. Stew Chisam, the CEO of Smite and Paladins developer Hi-Rez, outlined some of the benefits of cross-play in a post on Twitter.
For Paladins, which supports cross-play between Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, Chisam said overall match quality is improved thanks to cross-play. Wait-times for matches is down 30 percent, while the quality of matches is better because the level spread is down 40 percent. In all, Hi-Rez is reportedly seeing an 80 percent reduction in what it calls "bad" matches.
Anyone who has played a ranked multiplayer game knows how frustrating it can be when you're matched with players who have a much higher skill level, so it's good to see the statistics seemingly indicate that cross-play helps improve things. Whether or not other games see these results remains to be seen.
Xplay improves match quality in multiplayer games. When we added crossplay between Paladins Xbox and Switch:
>> Wait time reduced 30%
>> Level spread between players down 40%
>> 40% reduction in ELO std deviation per match
>> 80% reduction in "Bad" matches (by our internal defn)
— HiRezStew (@schisam) February 8, 2019
Chisam is an outspoken proponent for tearing down the walls between consoles to allow for wider adoption of cross-play. Just recently, Chisam said on Twitter that he wants PlayStation to "stop playing favorites," and allow cross-play/cross-progression "for everyone." He added that Smite, Paladins, and the battle royale game Realm Royale, are "ready to go" for cross-play on PS4, so the developer is just waiting for Sony to give the go-ahead.
Hey @Sony @PlayStation. It's time to stop playing favorites and tear down the crossplay/progression wall for everyone. We have @SMITEGame, @PaladinsGame, @RealmRoyale ready to go when you are. https://t.co/KNDetpXPf5
— HiRezStew (@schisam) February 8, 2019
Microsoft has supported cross-play for a while already between select games, such as Paladins, Rocket League, and Fortnite. But it took Sony a while longer to allow cross-play with PS4, only just recently allowing it for Fortnite and later Rocket League.
Would you like to see more adoption of cross-play in the future? Let us know in the comments below!

With only a mere 3500 images last week from one competition and one christening things have been something of a breeze over the weekend. Everything edited for the competition within 12 hrs and the christening was edited and uploaded to the gallery wishing 4hrs of getting home. A very limited number of outdoor images owing to the weather so some very simple studio images to process.
Online sales continue to be strong from all recent events and also going back through the year. Many parents who attended the national finals event requested codes for the previous qualifiers that we had covered. These have been visited very healthily as people create year montages from the events they competed at.
It is great that we have been booked for the entire series next year as this will give potential customers an even bigger choice of images through the year to compile those year end montages.
This week we have a mother and toddler xmas shoot in Beverley on Saturday and then the NW Schools Gymnastics Qualifier in Wigan on Sunday. About 60 families for portraits on Saturday and then 450+ competitors on the Sunday should keep me busy for a few days afterwards.
One from the weekend gymnastics.
And a fun one from the christening shoot. They jumped in front of the camera at the end yet their youngest wouldn't play ball. Great little lad and the family have booked in to return for a formal sitting family image after Xmas.

Unlike retail businesses, at an online business like EverythingCU.com, we don't get regular in-person interaction with our customers. Which is one of the reasons I love speaking to CU leagues and conducting hands-on social media workshops for them. And it's also the reason why I particularly loved the phone call I had today with EverythingCU'er Bobbie Garner.
Recently I got to meet Bobbie in person at the CU Water Cooler Symposium in Indianapolis at the end of October. Bobbie had just attended the first-ever EverythingCU Webinar Roundtable, so it was pretty cool to meet her in-person just two days later. At the Symposium, Bobbie told me that her credit union was really liking their new Beehive online budget tracking tool from EverythingCU.
Recently, I got to chat with Bobbie a little bit more, to find out how Beehive was working for her. She told me that she was excited to be using it for her 2011 budget, and that the credit union had looked at other options, but none was as easy-to-use and inexpensive as Beehive. It turns out that Bobbie works part-time for the credit union; and the marketing budget is coordinated between four people; herself, their full time Community Relations Specialist who is a recent college grad, and two other executives at Health Care Professionals FCU.
In the course of the conversation, Bobbie also told me that the budget that she has to work with at Health Care Professionals FCU is much more than her budget last year, thanks to EverythingCU's Marketing Budget Report. She said that by using the "Export to Excel" function of several report pages, and turning them into graphs, it was clear that her credit union's marketing budget was well below comparable credit unions. The CU Marketing Budget Report is also extremely inexpensive, and we keep it that way on purpose, both for selfish and altruistic reasons. We hope hundreds more credit unions take advantage of it; selfishly, because if CUs use it to get their budgets increased, we hope they spend some of those 'extra' dollars on us, but also altruistically in that we truly love to further the credit union movement, and increasing marketing budgets will spread the good CU word even farther.
Bobbie also mentioned that the EverythingCU site is a wonderful resource in its own right, and how she reminds the credit union's Specialist to always check the Document Center before creating a new document from scratch since there are more than 1400 documents in that library!
Basically, we wish we could plant a tree to grow more clients like Bobbie and HCP FCU… they are big fans of EverythingCU (and we're big fans of theirs), and they use many of our products: the Executive Membership, webinars, the EverythingCU CU Marketing Budget Report, and most recently our Beehive Online Budget Tracking tool. We're thrilled that they are getting great value from being a part of this online community!

Google encourages users to tailor SERPs
Google is stepping up efforts to bring greater customisation to search results.
In May 2009, users were first presented with a 'Show options' button on all SERPS, which brought up the Search Options sidebar. This offered browsers a range of options to refine their query such as only requesting content produced in the last year or showing additional text for all entries. Now, Google has rolled out nine new Search Options tools that could potentially increase conversion rates for optimised websites.
Among the changes, users can limit results to those published in the past hour or within a specific date range. Another feature is the ability to filter out pages that have already been visited or those that have not been clicked on before, which could help browsers relocate trusted authority sites more easily.
Users can request more shopping sites
And digital marketers may be particularly interested to learn about an option to request a greater proportion of shopping sites. Google product manager Nundu Janakriam and software engineer Patrick Riley explained: "This can be particularly helpful when you're researching something you've already explored and you want to return right where you let off. To use this option, you'll need to be signed into your Google account and have web history enabled."
Earlier this week, Google incorporated real-time search analytics Hot Trends into mainstream SERPs in the US and Japan. The development means browsers searching for any of the 100 fastest-rising terms get graphs and text showing how its popularity has changed over recent days.

United Voice Queensland members banded together, along with colleagues in other unions, to put pressure on Malcolm Turnbull to stop ripping off Queensland hospitals.
Together, we helped to secure more than $300 million in unpaid funding for services Queensland hospitals delivered in 2014-15 and 2015-16.
This is a huge win for all Queenslanders. Together, even the Prime Minister could not ignore us.
We will continue to fight for funding until the Turnbull Government coughs up the rest of their unpaid health funding for Queensland.

text: That's me! is a human experience application tool that connects people who suffer from dementia with their family. Its simple and easy-to-use interface offers the patients two main options: On one side, they can read personal information about themselves such as their hobbies, journeys or see their family tree. On the other side, there are multiple games available to stimulate their minds such as painting, listening to their favourite music, or doing quizzes about their family and friends. The importance of exercising the brain with these kind of activities has been scientifically proven, since it improves the cognitive stimulation to delay the symptoms of the dementia.

Daily Rehearsal: Sh** Lana Del Rey Says, a meme by Chicago comicsBy Kate Dries
Daily Rehearsal: Sh** Lana Del Rey Says, a meme by Chicago comicsBy Kate Dries
1. The Young Playwrights Festival, run by the Pegasus Players, moved to the Hull House Center this year, but as the Reader's Asher Klein points out, " the timing couldn't be worse." Why? Because Hull House is closing, so where will Pegasus go? In any case, the 25th annual Festival closes this weekend; get in while you can.
2. Did you miss WBEZ blogger Claire Zulkey's interview with the author of the book of Wicked, Gregory Maguire? Catch it now.
3. TimeOut has a new feature where they highlight a "Performer of the week." The profile is online only, which means you should basically just cancel your subscription to the hard copy. It "spotlights a standout performance—and performer—from the past week of theater openings." This week it's Clancy McCartney, who is now not only famous in my book for his very awesome name, but for his very awesome performance in dark play or stories for boys at Collaboraction.
4. Jessie Mueller was interviewed by Playbill for their column Celebrity Buzz: Diva Talk. Stuff we learned: Everyone in her family acts (though she's the first to make it to Broadway) and she feels lucky that she "got to grow up watching the great Chicago actors performing around town, so that was a huge inspiration."
5. The meme that jumped the shark a thousand sharks ago has been out-memed: Chicago comedy duo Seth and Kellen have done "Sh** Lana Del Rey Says." It's sort of disgusting, as in, I had a hard time watching it merely because it was so memey. They say that they "took the two most maligned internet memes of the moment and smashed them together to create a desperate attempt to go viral."

"We have declared an alert in Mumbai (following the blast in a local train). Security has been tightened," Police Commissioner Ranjit Singh Sharma told rediff.com on Thursday night.
Visiting injured passengers in a hospital, he sounded concerned but composed.
"Compared to the Ghatkopar blast, today's was much bigger in magnitude. I would not like to say anything more at this stage."
He refused to comment on the nature of the explosive or the modus operandi of the culprits.
"At this stage it's difficult to say if there is any connection with the Ghatkopar blast. I request the public to come forward if they have any clue or information which can lead us to culprits."
The police would be extra careful, as Muslims would be observing the last day of Moharram on Friday.
Kirit Somaiya, BJP MP from Northeast Mumbai, demanded 'strong action from the state government against terrorism in Maharashtra'.
"We have seen four blasts in the last three months. First outside Ghatkopar station, then Mumbai Central station, near Vile-Parle station and now Mulund station while one was averted in Andheri."
"All near railway stations and in areas counted amongst the more peaceful localities in Mumbai. On Thursday, for the first time, the terrorists targeted ladies. This is disturbing," Somaiya told rediff.com.
He criticised the state government for being unable to prevent the blast, which 'occurred a day after the 10th anniversary of serial blasts that had rocked Mumbai'.
"There is a link behind these blasts. Why are they happening at a regular interval? Does it appear like the four blasts occurred for four different reasons?"
"It's high time the government took stern action. It's a shame that terrorist suspect Mohammed Afroz had to be released while an accused in the Ghatkopar blast escaped from police custody. Such incidents erodes the credibility of the government and encourages terrorists."
"I'll ask Centre to extend all possible cooperation to the state government to fight terrorism," he said.

King of Prussia Mall
Route 202 at Mall Blvd.
King of Prussia, PA 19406
(610) 265-5727
Depending on whom you ask, King of Prussia is or isn't the largest mall in America: there are camps that say pure real estate (i.e. the Mall of America) trumps retail space, but no matter. Whichever way you slice it, KOP (as the locals call it) is a shopper's paradise. The roster of stores reads like a designer's A-list: Hermes, Burberry, Hugo Boss, Polo Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., David Yurman — the list goes on. Its department stores, too, are of renown: Neiman Marcus (complete with valet parking) joins Bloomingdale's on the high-end, along with Lord & Taylor, Macy's, and JCPenney. Add in top-notch restaurants such as Morton's and Legal Sea Foods, and there's really no reason to leave this destination until they lock up for the night.
Willow Grove Park Mall
2500 W. Moreland Rd.
Willow Grove, PA 19090
(215) 657-6000
You can ride a carousel at this Montgomery County mall — but don't think there's anything but serious shopping here. Bloomingdale's, Macy's and Sears are the big draws, but equally enticing are stores like Abercrombie & Fitch, Williams-Sonoma, and Victoria's Secret. There's also a two-level H&M — and a Cheesecake Factory to satisfy your sweet-and-savory tooth.
Cherry Hill Mall
2000 Rt. 38
Cherry Hill, NJ 08002
(856) 662-7441
South Jersey's answer to the King of Prussia Mall features an upscale mix of stores. Macy's and Nordstrom bookend BCBG Max Azria, Apple, and Urban Outfitters. Maggiano's, Seasons 52 Grill and Wine Bar, and Bahama Breeze are among the restaurants there to satisfy the food cravings you'll work up while shopping in this recently-renovated megaspace.
Shops at Liberty Place
1625 Chestnut St.
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 851-9055
Conspicuous consumption meets Center City. A dramatic glass atrium is the centerpiece of more than 60 stores, including J.Crew, Ann Taylor Loft, smaller specialty shops, and a food court. And on the first Friday of every month, be part of the studio audience as KYW Newsradio 1060 broadcasts "Reporters Roundup" from the Shops, live at noon.
Suburban Square
6 Coulter Ave.
Ardmore, PA 19003
(610) 896-7560
This promenade-style shopping center in Ardmore forces you out-of-doors to go store-to-store, but wide terraces and elegant landscaping serve to keep away the hustle and bustle of nearby Lancaster and Montgomery Avenues. Macy's anchors Suburban Square, which also boasts Apple, Coach, Talbots, Trader Joe's and the Ardmore Farmer's Market — among several dozen other shops and eateries.

Mixing for Comfortable Living Room Chairs
Comfortable Living Room Chairs – Mixing chairs have long been an important part of eclectic and shabby chic decor. Chairs take a lot of abuse, and it's common for one or two to break. Whether you mix chairs of choice or necessity, it is important to maintain a sense of harmony. The key to success mixing chairs is to find a common factor between all your chairs.
Determine how many chairs you need. Dining table is sold in a myriad of sizes, from small double-sided to massive tables that seat 12 or more. You may already have some Comfortable Living Room Chairs. Select a common feature. Some buy very different chairs and paint them in the same color. Some buy different styles that share a common design system, such as wooden chairs with rounded ridges.
12 Photos Gallery of: Mixing for Comfortable Living Room Chairs
Think outside the box. Consider Comfortable Living Room Chairs in different shades of a certain color or different colors within the same family, such as pastels. A color wheel available at your local paint retailer can help you find colors that merge well together. If you prefer bets rather than color, consider using a variety of hot, rich spots. Install the correct tool for the job. Paint or bite wooden chairs with traditional household products. Many people like the appearance of high gloss enamel, even if any surface is acceptable. Latex enamel is easy to work with and forgiven by mistake.

Academic Vision
In 2008, the University of Maryland developed a comprehensive and bold 10-year strategic plan, "Transforming Maryland: Higher Expectations." In the years since, we have experienced a remarkable rise in accomplishment and reputation. By any measure, our University is now one of the nation's front-rank public research universities. New opportunities now promise even greater attainments, and we will continue on our path to be considered "equal to the best" among all universities in the world.
Nation's Research University
National research universities play a critical role in advancing our health, security and quality of life by developing comprehensive, interdisciplinary solutions to global problems, and by stimulating jobs and economic development. Strategically located inside the Capital Beltway, the University of Maryland has extensive collaborations with federal agencies and private corporations that position our University as a national leader on the great societal issues of our time, including global climate change, big data, bioengineering, language and linguistic research, and cybersecurity. We can truly be considered the nation's research university.
Philanthropy and Engagement
The University of Maryland is a proud family over 325,000 strong. To realize our ambitions, to continue Maryland's ascendancy, to truly make a difference in our world, we will invite alumni, family, friends, public and private partners to join us to Discover New Knowledge, Inspire Maryland Pride, Transform the Student Experience and Turn Imagination into Innovation.
Service and Impact to the State
The University of Maryland plays a critical role in every part of the state's economy. Each year, our flagship institution graduates thousands of students that strengthen the workforce as scientists, scholars, engineers, entrepreneurs and innovators. We attract investment, launch successful startups and stimulate job creation. We share our expertise with businesses and communities on important issues such as health care, education, and the environment. We are proud to serve our state.
The Campus Community
To foster the education, critical thinking and intellectual growth of students, to create and apply new knowledge via research, scholarship and the creative arts, to improve the surrounding world, we must first foster an inclusive community of global citizens committed to academic freedom. We are dedicated to act with entrepreneurial spirit, embrace the power of technology, operate with fiscal responsibility and administrative efficiency, foster transformational change and create a vibrant surrounding community.

In most modern database environments, change is happening all the time. Infrastructure changes such as hardware replacement or upgrade. Database changes such as database software replacement, upgrade, configuration changes and schema changes.
A suitable level of testing must be performed before a change is applied to a production environment. The level of testing will depend on the nature of the change and its associated risk. A large proportion of changes can only be tested adequately under a production workload or a suitably scaled environment. Some changes may be associated with data that is sensitive or confidential.
In any event, database testing is an important area. If you can accurately predict the effect of changes to a production database environment then you will significantly reduce the risk associated with maintaining that environment.
The following are the key technology areas where we can help:
- Workload simulation
- Test data generation
- Test data anonymisation
- Test data copying
- Test scaling
- Benchmarking

Oprah Sued For Patent Infringement Over Her Book Club
from the just-as-Thomas-Jefferson-intended deptJoe Mullin is back to let us know about the latest patent insanity, starting with a post about a whole bunch of patent infringement lawsuits based on patents held by Scott Harris. You may recall Harris because he was a lawyer for a big law firm, but was quietly filing patents on the side, and then apparently working out deals whereby other companies licensed those patents to be used in infringement lawsuits against big companies -- including companies represented by the very same firm Harris worked for. Not surprisingly, he lost his job and was sued. A few months back, the lawsuit was settled and Harris's patents have, miraculously, been showing up in a bunch of recent patent lawsuits.
But the real stunner in the latest set of lawsuits is that one of the patents is being used to sue Oprah. Yes, that Oprah. Apparently, Harris is claiming that his patent on enhancing the touch and feel of the internet is violated by Oprah's book club. Yes. Her book club. Violates a patent (according to the patent holder). Now, my critics will be the first to point out that I'm no patent attorney, but reading over the patent, it certainly appears to be a patent on displaying a book online. How is that possibly patentable material? Wouldn't it be great if this got Oprah looking into the ridiculous state of the patent system in the US these days, and how it's often being used in such bogus ways? While it probably won't happen, it certainly could help dispel the old myths of the patent system as promoting innovation and finally get the issue in front of the public in a way that they would realize just how damaging the system has become and how widely it's abused.

The time has come to do some math
Yes it's going to be a new year. And yes I am excited about it. Why? I don't know. I suppose its a results of many years of conditioning.
Here the thing about my new year, I did a little math equation and to tell you the truth it kind of blew my socks off. I'll share it below:
1 hour of FB per day x 365 days = 365 hours
If you are at all like me, there are days I don't go on at all, and other days where it feels like I can't stay off. In any case, it's all time and every little bit adds up. Even if you are waiting in line or at a soccer practice it's time taken.
365 hours / 24 hours in a day = 15.208 days per year
That is more than a two week vacation. This blew my mind.
I'm not saying I will quit FB, nor am I suggesting anyone else to stop using the beast. I'm only offering some insight to something that has been on my mind and that I hope to curtail. Especially because I have been known to complain about not having enough time, and yet I have used my time poorly.
I have some lofty goals this coming year. Why I chose 2016 may have to do with the fact that 2015 went by so fast that I feel like I missed the entire year. Flat out missed it. So yes, this is my resolution-to be aware and conscience of my minutes.
I wish you all a beautiful time ahead.
Cheers to all.
Nepal – please give.
After you open your hearts please DONATE what you are able.
Sale time, yet again
I am getting pretty good at organizing garage/house sales, and brother do I kill it with the signs.
I use Craig's list and signs on major intersections. That's it. I have a sale kit with a staple gun and signs and wire stands from old political signs. All you have to do is take the political sign off the wire holder and turn it inside out and tape your awsome sale sign to the plastic. So easy, and they go into the ground perfectly.
I never hold my sale if the weather is bad, and now because you can place ads for free at a moments notice that is easy to accomplish.
My signs are always florescent poster board, sometimes with added reflective wrapping paper. It makes a difference having a great sign. People always tell me they love the signs…lol. Some of my best slogans are: " Don't MISS this SALE" or "Something 4 Everyone Sale," "Best Sale Ever," " Turn Around Cool Items. " Often my signs are a shapes, maybe a circle or the shape of a dresser if we have furniture. Stars cut outs on top of the signs in a contrasting bright color also helps grab attention. And note: If you tell someone not to "miss" something they just can't resist.
But this sale I am going in for the kill!
I am planning to have a table of "Name Your Own Price" items…..who can resist that??? Another sign will say, " HAVE 2 HAVE sale" sign. "Useless stuff Sale. " "TOO BIG wont FIT" Sale…. for my new house. And a "too little SPACE Sale" sign….."Help me I'm a Hoarder, Sale."
I think you get the idea, I am not planning to have many more of these sales, so I am going to have fun. I am thinking I might sell sodas as well. If it's warm and the sun is out, I can make .75 cents a can. Plus it keeps people happy, they stay longer and might just buy something.
In our town, garage sales are the ultimate signal that summer is near. Garage Sale-ing a ritual, every Thursday is always the first day of any sale. People map out the sales they are going to hit and make a day of it. I like to be open on Thursday and Saturday. I cant stand Friday because it is too slow and Sunday people are too cheap. We'll see how it works out this time.
My real issue here is most the stuff I have is what I decided to keep. Ouch. Now I am going to have to measure each room and be realistic. It's going to be a challenge, especially since, this is it. My last chance. I am not moving all this stuff one more time, not going to do it. Minimalism here I come. That has been my goal all along, but talking and doing are two different things.
The tough cuts await……I have to empty the storage unit and a garage….ugh.
And you know what's in those three containers? Pottery made by students and professors from Cleveland State. More average pottery than anyone ever needs. At the time,the pottery was the most important thing for me to pack up and protect, err to hoard. I still love it. Every item was made by someone learning about design and clay. Sigh.

What Gives Me Hope
As hopeless as the world appears to be, as down I am about the holidays and my own personal problems. I do get nuggets of hope.
I cherish these nuggets, because in my world, they are few and far between. I tend to question everything with this one word: Why?
Why if we have the resources, why can't we solve problems? Why if we have the intelligence, why can't we solve problems? Why isn't taking care of people in need a top priority in our world?
We are a powerful country, a wealthy country, home to super wealthy corporations, but we seem to have become a country of people who don't really care. It appears we have learned to blame the victims, and look the other way, as if they are not our reflection.
Society reflects itself, we are exactly what we see.
Why or what has led us to believe that it's A-O.K. to let the homeless suffer in our streets? What twisted message have we been hearing that has warped our humanity into a callous self-righteous existence? What religion supports this? What government supports this? Why do we support this?
Mind you, I don't believe that we as individuals think that this is right. But when faced with the decision as to what should be done about it we get over whelmed, we don't know how to help, and we end up doing nothing. And by doing nothing, we are essentially turning our backs on people in need.
I don't have much extra money, at the moment, but I am going to NYC tomorrow, and I will be taking twenty five dollar bills and handing them out to homeless people. I think I will make PB&J sandwiches to go along with the money. A simple brown paper bag with a sandwich and a five. I want to help, I want them to know that they are not forgotten.
So where's the hope?
Where are the nuggets I spoke about?
The "hope-nuggets" are people I meet who do good things. They are individuals who are standing up and showing they care. Many I know in person, and others I know through on-line relationships. Those are the hope-nuggets, real live people. Individual people who are making a difference how ever they can.
Thank you for existing. Thank you for sharing, and never give up on making someone's life better. You restore my hope in humanity and you inspire me to be a better human being. I am so grateful for all of you.
Inspiration: "A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people. " ~Gandhi
Giving Change a Chance.
I want to be one of those people that makes a difference. But I'm frustrated because I never get my ideas off the ground. For whatever reasons I lack the focused dedication that is required. I get one idea and that may get shot down or hit a road-block and before I know it, I have another idea.
I was brought to tears today because while talking about this I began to realize that maybe I am not cut out to be the facilitator. That maybe the best I could do was throw my ideas out there and just maybe someone else would pick one up and run with it. Maybe someone out there has the drive, the time and the focus but needs some ideas.
So that's what I am going to do. Every so often I'm going to un-clutter my ideas and give them away.
Here is an old idea, which I still think has merit.
Pennies4People. During the Kosovo war I coordinated the logistics with the Red Cross and National City Bank, (now PNC bank ), to collect and process pennies which were to be donated from students at my children's' elementary school. I was to make the collection containers, collect the pennies weekly and drive them to the bank, and the bank would run them through their coin machines to count and then issue a check to the Red Cross. The Red Cross, a non-political neutral entity, would use the funds to help the refuge families struggling in the midst of the war.
The concept was that elementary school children (grades 3rd through 5th) could join together and raise donation money. Everyone has a penny, everyone could participate no matter if they were wealthy or not. And for one penny the students would know they were helping children on the other side of the world. I was hopeful that this program would spread through the city school system, and grow city by city.
I owned the web site Pennies4People. Everything was in place. That is until I received a letter from the elementary school principal telling me that the school had a Serbian family in attendance, and they thought we had to be considerate of their feelings. This made zero sense to me. I tried to explain that the Red Cross was not picking sides, that they are politically neutral, the funds would be used to help everyone. People who needed food, water, shelter. It didn't matter. The principal's answer was NO!
I was totally dejected, my contacts at National City Bank and the Red Cross were equally dismayed, but it didn't matter. Life went on.

I believe(d) in teaching our children the importance of compassion and understanding for those suffering, and equally important showing them how the smallest action can make a big difference. I thought this was a win-win-win, if there is any such thing. The principal shot it down, and my idea died with that rejection letter.
Since that time, many different organizations have used the fund raising term "Pennies for People." Back then no one was on the internet with this idea besides me, but that doesn't matter now. I realize this isn't the most original idea today, but that's not the point, it's still an idea.
So if you see anyway you might be able to use this for something good please do. I'll continue to post ideas. Maybe one day you'll read one that will work for you. And if you do please take it and make change happen.
(Right now watching a football game in the background I thought why not have Pennies4People on any Sunday at every stadium that has a game. All those people in the stands have pennies. Banks need good PR -Donate to homeless shelters or for heating oil for the elderly, anything – you get the idea)
It's a S.H.E.L.L. Fund
I've been a bit single minded, focused only on my self lately. This is nothing I am proud of or ashamed of, it's just that there's more to life then my problems. I share them in hopes to help others as well as myself , but depending on a person's frame of mind (that day), my issues may seem irrelevant. I can't help that and I can't care.
But I do care about many other things in the world besides myself and my struggles. And today I am going to share a cause that is very close to my heart.
You probably know I have Siberian Huskies, and if you didn't know, here's their web site: Batman and Ice. My dogs are family dogs, they were purchased from a breeder and never suffered one day of their lives; pampered and loved, spoiled almost rotten. They are minimalist Gods.
It wasn't until I met Kristen that I learned about all the abused, neglected and abandoned Siberian Huskies out there in our towns facing certain death. Kristen is an awesome lady and a true-blue advocate for the under-dog, for those dogs left to die, those who are abandoned and for those who have suffered beyond any of our worst nightmares.
When Kristen was a full time nurse, she began to rescue, rehab, and place Siberian Huskies with loving families. She found that working with the dogs was where her heart was, it was her passion. At that point she made a life changing choice. She gave up the security of a regular paycheck and all the other benefits of full-time employment. I'm not certain if she had any support for her decision. It was a bold move with a completely unknown future – that decision took a lot of courage.
(more people should follow their hearts)
Fast forward a several years, Kristen founded the non-profit Siberian Husky Emergency Life Line fund (a non-profit 501c3 tax-exempt organization) and in addition Kristen now owns and operates a boarding kennel she was able to purchase last year.
Please take a moment to look though her site, and learn about the many dogs up for adoption and those who are still in rehab. Many of my dogs' friends were adopted directly from the Shell Fund Rescue. They're all absolutely awesome and beautiful creatures who have adjusted wonderfully and are now living in loving homes.
Kristen's expertise and continued dedication for the health and welfare, and placement of these abused Siberian Huskies is incredible and unwavering. If I been more educated before buying my dogs I would have certainly look to the Shell Fund first.
Here's my plea:
Since this is the holiday season, please consider donating even 5.00 dollars to help feed and care for these homeless Siberian Huskies. Your donation is a tax write off and it would mean the world to me if any of my readers could show some love to this worthy cause. I know times are tough for everyone, and unfortunately in poor economic times donation are low.
Please help if you are able, really any amount is better than nothing. Maybe you could skip your latte today and help save a life at the same time. I would love that! Your small donation will help nurture these beautiful creatures until they are ready to be placed in loving homes.
Nothing would make me happier. Cheers!

I know Kristen will be surprised when she reads this, I didn't ask permission. So Surprise Kristen!!!!! :) I hope this helps!


text: Over the years, the Vietnam has limited access to websites critical of the government [Reuters] The passing of a new cybersecurity law by the Vietnamese parliament has led to criticism of its potential effect on freedom of speech and expression. Legislators said the new regulation, which will require tech companies to store data about Vietnamese users on local servers, will increase security in the country. But according to critics, this move could possibly stifle free speech for Vietnamese internet users as the companies might be forced to hand over large amounts of private information to the government. The new law will prohibit users from organising online for anti-state purposes, spreading false information or take part in online activities that potentially undermine the country's achievements or solidarity. {articleGUID} In a response, human rights organisation Amnesty International called the new law "deeply regressive". "This decision has potentially devastating consequences for freedom of expression in Vietnam. In the country's deeply repressive climate, the online space was a relative refuge where people could go to share ideas and opinions with less fear of censure by the authorities," a statement by Amnesty said. "With the sweeping powers it grants the government to monitor online activity, this vote means there is now no safe place left in Vietnam for people to speak freely." In a previous statement, Amnesty said this law would pose a threat to the one place where Vietnamese are still able to speak their mind. "The internet is the last remaining space where Vietnamese citizens can express their opinions with a relative degree of freedom. This law would emphatically put an end to that," that statement said. The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC), an interest group consisting of large tech companies such as Google, Twitter, Apple and Facebook, has also voiced its concerns over the new law. "The provisions for data localisation, controls on content that affect free speech, and local office requirements will undoubtedly hinder the nation's 4th Industrial Revolution ambitions to achieve GDP and job growth," an AIC statement said. Over the years, the Vietnamese government has limited access to websites critical of the government and internet activists have been arrested and persecuted a number of times. {articleGUID} A 2012 report by Reporters Without Borders called the Vietnamese government "an enemy of the internet". The new Vietnamese law is somewhat similar to a law passed recently by China, which forces tech companies like Apple to host data on local servers, which allows the Chinese government to access for example private iCloud data from its Chinese users. Privacy lawyers and human rights organisations said that new law represented a big downgrade in protections for Chinese customers.

I have lost count on how many times I have shitty moments in my life.
Those who can probably count those moments in one hand are the fortunate ones. I am green or purple (a color that results from high blood pressure and inability to breathe well) with envy. Then, I would look like to high heavens and have an internal dialogue pretending that I am talking to God with a virtual shaking fist of fury added to the mix of lamentations. "Why me?!"
I sometimes feel like the world is snickering while conspiring against me with every unfortunate event that comes my way. But I shall endure! (with another virtual shaking fist to high heavens)

The 100 Club
The purpose of the 100 Club is to raise funds. The money will be managed by The Friends of St Greg's and used for two objectives:
- Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents, the local community and others associated with the school; and
- Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of pupils.
Club Members 2017-2018
- The 100 Club is a private lottery organised by The Friends of St Greg's. It is open to all parents, carers, staff and friends of the Primary School and The Pod at St. Gregory the Great School. Those aged 16 or over can join.
- For the cost of £15 (averaging £1.25 per monthly draw) each member will be allocated one number between 1 and 100. Alternatively, a member can pay £20 (under 84p per monthly draw) and be allocated two numbers between 1 and 100.
- Numbers are limited to two per household or place at the school.
- A draw will be made for every month of the club year, yielding a winner at random.
- Twelve prizes will total 25% of the income for that club year, rounded to the nearest whole pound.
- Payment must be made to the school reception by cash, using the envelope provided, by the date advertised. Lesser amounts will be returned, greater amounts will be accepted as a donation.
- Each club year consists of twelve consecutive months, after which membership ends.
- For any number remaining unallocated after a club year has begun, an extra member may join late at the club organiser's discretion. The cost of joining may be reduced at that time.
- A list of each member and their allocated number(s) will be kept by the 'trustees' of the Friends of St Greg's. The member's initials will also be published in a number grid on the school website.
- The draw shall be made by or under the supervision of the Head of Primary Teaching and Learning, or the supervision of a Key Stage Phase Leader in the presence of other staff/students. The trustees will then be notified of the winning number.
- A trustee will then match the number to their records in order to identify the winning member.
- Where the number drawn is not allocated to a member, then the nearest number wins, which may be higher or lower. If the neighbouring numbers are equally near, then the drawn number will be 'rounded' up or down according to its parity; an even drawn number means that the nearest lower number wins, whereas an odd drawn number means that the nearest higher number wins.
- The winner will be notified by email, text message, and/or in person with a card.
- Each month's winnings will be made available at the primary school reception.
- Unclaimed winnings will be placed into The Friends of St Greg's funds after six months of notification.
- The initials and number for each month's winner will be posted in the school newsletter, on the noticeboard, and/or on the website.
- If the appropriate box is ticked on their envelope, that member's contact details will be added to The Friends of St Greg's contact list from which they can unsubscribe at any time, by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com.
- In case of any dispute, the decision of the trustees will be final.

Visiting great researchers from all over india. Being able to connect with researchers from India was a blessing because we would work with them via email and social media but hanging out in person, talking to them, and dancing the night away with them made our relationship closer, and instead of being colleagues, we are now friends.
Andrew Pham SYNACK
It was a fun filled learning experience. 800+ young security researchers together is something very unique at Nullcon. Indeed a very useful conference for all security practitioners.
Durga Dube VP & CISO, Reliance Industries Ltd
I was impressed by Nullcon in terms of the quality and expertise of the speakers, the relevance of topics, and the venue of course.

Dominated by ethical hackers; so as a CISO you learn & get to know about emerging threats also. The nullcon was very useful. There was lot of learning, networking & best practices know-how.
K.S. Narayanan CISO ING Vysya Bank
Would highly recommend for CISOs to attend and promote Nullcon as one of the premier conferences where good hands-on security talent is available as well as for engaged discussions and trainings on interesting topics like security vulnerability disclosure programs, SCADA security etc.
Burgess Cooper CTSO - Vodafone
As far as security conferences go, NULLCON was the best of both worlds for me. Got to meet a lot of CISOs, without losing the hands-on tech touch. I believe this mix is important - especially for young techies who need to augment their hands-on tech skills by interacting with senior pros and understand what is expected of them as they grow.

Nicole Flatow is the editor of CityLab. She was previously U.S. enterprise editor at The Guardian.
Two mayors deliver their annual state of the city addresses. They both acknowledge imperfect crime records and tout their hiring of police officers. They both prioritize revitalizing their streets. And they both talk about increasing the density of core neighborhoods. Put them in a room together, and they agree about most things.
But there's one topic they frame very differently: Their relationship with their colleagues in state and federal government.
"We are living in interesting times," said Lawrence, Massachusetts, Mayor Dan Rivera in his city address. He contextualized the challenges for the city by pointing to the Trump administration's "struggles to keep its doors open" and "men and women taking to the streets to protest" in cities across the country.
Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland's address struck a very different political tone. "We don't get involved in the partisan politics of the day," he said. "Our team shuts up, rolls up its sleeves, and takes action."
The relationship between cities and other governments is one of the top issues that U.S. mayors increasingly talked about in setting their priorities this year, according to an analysis of 160 State of the City addresses by the National League of Cities (NLC). Other popular topics that emerged more than in previous years include infrastructure and public parks.
"Cities big and small are contending with a tall order: Do more with less, help more people, expand more programs, but do it with less money, and less support from the federal government," said Brooks Rainwater, the executive director of NLC's Center for City Solutions. "In some ways, it's the same old story. But when we have crises like the opioid epidemic and climate change on our plates, it starts to feel more dire, and in some ways more absurd."
Talking about the report during a panel discussion, Rivera said he chose to lead his speech by addressing these political issues because he wanted his constituents to understand that "even though we balanced our books and we're addressing issues that for a long time people wanted us to address, the circumstances surrounding that have changed."
"Federal grants to police officers [are] no more," Rivera said. "A full response to what the national conversation is naming as a crisis around the opioid epidemic, no response. A shared financing of public education and transportation, that's not coming either."
Political context aside, most of the top priorities for mayors haven't changed, according to NLC's analysis of the 160 speeches that were available online. The most commonly discussed priority for mayors remains economic development, with a recent focus on downtown revitalization. Streets and signs ranked highly across geographic regions, and in all but the biggest cities. Public safety remains a top concern, particularly this year, talking about the police.
Even mayors like Rivera know that these are the issues his constituents will ask him about first.
"It doesn't matter what people are talking about at the national and at the state level," he said. "When you go grocery shopping, people are talking about their park, their sidewalk, their street. And you could be at this thing were you're celebrating something very big, and you just did this great thing, and inevitably somebody will walk up to you and say, 'hey you know my trash didn't get picked up today.' And so you can't run from that."
The biggest cities, those with more than 300,000 people, were most likely to talk about "intergovernmental relations," the third-ranked discrete topic after police and public transit. This concern manifested itself in pledges for new priorities like climate change that fill gaps in national regulation: "We understand clearly we have to protect our own people from global warming when our national government fails to do so," said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in this year's speech.
It also manifested itself in escalating battles with state governments, which are increasingly blocking cities from acting on issues like property tax and rent control, while expecting significant contributions from cities for state pension funds.
"It is hard to believe that the governor is even talking about trying to limit city, county, and school district tax increases to 2.5 percent per year (without a vote), when the state property tax has increased by 288 percent in just five years," said Austin Mayor Steve Adler in his address.
"This year I warn of another concern and ask for your assistance," said Mayor Steve Leary of Winter Park, Florida. "Our leaders in Tallahassee have lost their way. Members of the Florida House and Senate have chosen leadership, party, lobbyists, and their own selfish interests over the constituents that elected them. Their overt attempts to preempt home rule and create one-size-fits-all legislation is beyond dangerous, it is borderline unconstitutional."
Big cities were also most likely to elevate homelessness and affordable housing as top issues. For smaller cities, these issues did not crack the top 10.
Opioids were only coded in 11 percent of speeches, and substance abuse in 7 percent. Infrastructure, by contrast, was talked about in 56 percent of speeches.
But the issue of opioids was one of several identified as emerging based on its appearance in a subset of speeches. Others were climate change and broadband internet access.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, touted his initiative to expand public WiFi, saying: "To thrive tomorrow, we must also pay attention to a new category of infrastructure. Residents need to know they can rely on good digital infrastructure."
A small and relatively unchanged proportion of mayors, 14 percent, talked about government data and technology, despite an increasing public focus on the notion of "smart cities." Other topics at the intersection of technology and infrastructure like dockless bikes were increasingly mentioned this year, including by Buttigieg, in what he called a merging of "digital and transportation infrastucture."
Many local priorities are, of course, harder to quantify. Mayor Strickland of Memphis cited population loss as the number one issue for his city, a contrast from the narrative in many of the largest U.S. cities where new residents are associated with rising costs and displacement.
To address that issue, Strickland said, he's following a trend common to most cities: building up density in core areas, instead of "building out."
But he's also looking to several of the other primary issues on NLC's list, particularly crime and schools, which he says are driving people out of the city. Strickland ran for office on a campaign to improve public safety, and has touted advances in 911 response times and police hiring in his address. But police hiring alone may not solve everything, as Memphis is a majority-black city with a history of racially charged policing. Just prior to Strickland's election, the police department was reviewed by the Department of Justice over the shooting of a black teen by police, and the ACLU is suing Memphis over alleged police surveillance.
Asked how he confronts racial tensions in approaching the issue of "public safety," Strickland noted that the police department is diverse—majority African-American—and that his public safety strategy includes not just policing but other intersectional issues like education and community planning.
"Memphians all over the city, black and white, Democrat and Republican, no matter where you live, are really sick of crime," he told me. "There are certain neighborhoods that hear a gunshot every single night."
Rivera's city of Lawrence also considers crime among its most significant and intractable problems. His city had the worst homicide rate in 15 years last year, he said. He, too, has been focused on police hiring, as well as community policing.
But unlike Strickland, he cited gun trafficking and police staffing as issues that should be addressed at the national level. Anita Yadavalli, program director of city fiscal policy at NLC, said several mayors brought up guns in their annual addresses this year, particularly school shootings. The study only tracked speeches between January and April, but she predicted that if she were to keep tracking addresses that occur through the summer, guns would continue to emerge as an issue for mayors. "That's something that especially I find that mayors are calling on federal action. You know it's basically in the vein of, 'Hey we're struggling in these cities, what can you do about it?'" She added that some cities are also touting moves to pass legislation like banning bump stocks.
"I think that mayors are just trying to take action into their own hands through on-the-ground programs and trying to implement gun violence policies wherever they can," she said.

I have been waiting for this tool for long time. Thanks to Gmail team who have worked hard to develop this service. If you are a gmail user, well it's about time. You no longer have to use workarounds to put images into your messages or attach images when you really want to inline them. Just turn on "Inserting images" from the Labs tab under Settings, and you'll see a new toolbar icon like this:
Make sure you're in rich formatting mode, or it won't show up. Click the little image icon, and you can insert images in two ways: by uploading image files from your computer or providing image URLs.
Keep in mind that Gmail doesn't show URL-based images in messages by default to protect you from spammers, so if you're sending mail to other Gmail users, they'll still have to click "Display images below" or "Always display images from …" to see images you embed.
