For demonstration purposes I have an account on your system advertising several business programs. The account starts with 50,000 credits and is there to give people something to look at while the system is young or in demo mode. You should use this as your own account. The ID is 57962 and has special status (see below).
Either through the Business Control Panel (see below) or login to the account (to find the email address and password go BCP/Search members) and change the email to your own.
57962 is used as the default account and anyone who signs up that was not referred will be placed in the downline of this account.
Don't forget to replace my adverts with your own too (but do not leave this account without any in the early stages as your members will need something to view. It's a good idea to add your own programs then once a number of members have joined to remove mine).
Accounts 57962 and 57963 are special accounts and anti-cheat code does not operate on them! This is
because they are used for demonstration purposes.
If they had anti-cheat code switched on then two people trying out a demonstration at the same time would see warnings and errors - not the kind of thing you want your potential customers to see!

Week 23 – Reflecting on Restoration
While driving today. I took inventory of how things are in my present state. My effort was guided towards the benefits of the class for myself and others. I feel like the path of restoration of the being I was born as; is very close to being complete.
I know exactly what is being done, how long it takes, where I'm going and what goals I have. My goals were what excited me the most and has left me in an absolute AWE of the process. Not a single goal is focused on me. When I heard the saying "What I want for myself, I want for others" struck a nerve.
I started writing down goals based on what I want for others. Then something fabulous happened. I was talking to a young man and I realized I am shifting to his benefit in all. I wanted so badly to capture that event, but instead merely observed the change that I've earned and the effect when people notice what your true motive is.
Finally, deep in silence, the gratitude seemed overwhelming of all the wonderful things that are added or taken away in my present life (habits). I've given the past away, the future is not my business, what am I doing efficiently at this moment. How can I bless everything around me?
I have taken the words of our daily practice and now live them, walk in true Faith. Catch my mind going off to someplace I don't want to be, and simply choosing not to follow.
Here is something that happened when I arrived at an emergency call. 6 Electricians & the Maintenance Manager were standing at a Main Box and looked perplexed. One spoke, and greeted me and asked if I came to help. My answer, "I just put on my super cape and am here to solve the world's problems", "where do I need to be".
OK, out there a bit, but dealing with that level of difficulty requires all of us to be of one accord. That worked and was not planned in any way. The creativity I had as a young child is back. I am no longer just complying in the world. I am Creating a better world, where I am, wherever that happens to be.
Taking the focus off of me and placing it where my NEEDS are; "helping others" has given me an energy that has nothing to do with what breakfast cereal I ate that morning.
Most of my life has involved solving problems. So I've been in/of service to others. My basic needs have been met with abundance. Now I see differently and ways to bring more abundance to all. Frankly that does excite me and am seeing that work in moment by moment of my daily experience.
MKMMA did provide the guidance, and were in service to many more than just those of this class. For that I am eternally grateful. As I look at the work I've done, few words have the mastery of describing all the benefits received in this experience.
I create what I want most. I heal myself & others; in spirit, mind & body in a loving, grateful & harmonious way. Mostly those around me are receiving a genuine being worth sharing time with.
Receive the Blessings that have already arrived…………

On Thursday, June 15, Truckstop.com hosted a first ever Facebook Live event, and it was a huge success. Covering everything you need to know about freight visibility and its connection to the ELD mandate, featured on the panel was Thayne Boren, general manager of Mobile Business Applications, and Jeremy Fuecht, regulatory analyst. The event was hosted by Nate Rowlan, Truckstop.com training manager.
Here were the top three takeaways from the event:
- Adopt an ELD/AOBRD (automatic On-Board Recording Device) solution now. These devices take some time getting used to, so waiting until the last minute could leave you stranded and with a bunch of points on your record.
- More shippers than ever are requiring their transportation partners to electronically track their freight. As many as 77 percent of shippers are looking for their loads to be tracked at near real-time rates. If you do not want to deal with check-calls or the hassle of playing phone tag, a load visibility platform such as Truckstop.com's Load Tracking is a great solution.
- Use coming technology to improve your situation. From a broker standpoint, this means fighting for your carriers and using the information they are getting to you to reduce detention times. From a carrier standpoint, negotiate detention pay and for better rates if you are using both an ELD and or other load visibility platform. Also, learn how the ELD effects your day-to-day operations and adjust your business accordingly.
To view entire video, check out YouTube here or find it on our Facebook page here.
Because of time limitations, the panel wasn't able to answer every question by the audience. Below are answers to those questions we weren't able to tackle:
Q: As an owner operator, do we need to only worry about it showing the hours on and off duty? If I understood correctly, it does not have to show the exact location, right?
A: The hours on duty, on duty driving, off duty, and sleeper berth will all need to be detailed just as in your paper RODS (Record of Duty Status). The ELD will track the location of the truck for you. Notes may be added for the benefit of a CVSA official to make log checks quicker, but, ultimately, locations will be transferred to the official and will be accurate up to mile intervals when on duty.
Q: Can the drivers take their half hour breaks whenever they feel the need, or will they have to take them when that "clock" on the app runs down and tells them it's time for a 30 min break?
A: Drivers can take their breaks at their leisure. The ELD will track if a break is needed or not. So, for example, if a driver has been on duty for an hour and takes a break of at least a half hour, the clock will reset and a driver will need to ensure they take another break at least eight hours later. If they take a break at the six hour mark, they will not have to worry about taking another break before their 10 hour reset.
Q: Tracking can be used as a selling point for agents, since it's a value added product… can we (brokers) ask the carriers to share the tracking info to add more value to our sales?
A: Yes you can, but this does not mean that a carrier will or has to share this information with you. It is opt-in and the choice of the carrier.
Q: Is it true for hot shot trucks that you do not have to have an ELD if below a certain weight?
A: If the weight of the truck at any point in time exceeds 10,000 pounds, they will need an ELD unless they are driving within the short haul exemption of the ELD mandate. If you require a CDL to drive your vehicle, you must ensure your distance is at (or less than) 100 air miles. If the vehicle does not require a CDL you can drive up to 150 air miles.
Q: There are several ELD platforms that are promoted as an "app" you can use on your smart phone to log your hours and apparently approved by the FMCSA.
A: ELD companies are able to self-certify to the FMCSA that they are compliant. The ELD mandate strictly states that the information must be gathered from the ECM (Engine Control Module) port, including odometer readings, idle times, and engine hours. This eliminates an 'app only' option for carriers. The apps are made to be used in conjunction with a unit that is tied directly into the ECM. So the app on the phone could work when tied with the black box, but it is not going to work as a stand-alone device without proper connectivity to the ECM.
Thanks so much for participating with us! More than 890 people tuned in, and we want to thank the audience for their participation. Be on the lookout for additional training events coming up in the near future!

Price Range (MSRP): $32,700 (CLA 250) to $94,950 (GLS 550)
Mercedes-Benz is the venerable German luxury automaker with a long, storied history. In recent years, Mercedes has transitioned to a more consistent naming convention for its vehicles. Mercedes designates "C" for its compact vehicles, "E" for the midsize, "S" for its flagships, and "GL" for the SUVs. Thus, the GLC, GLE, and GLS SUVs are sized accordingly to their sedan counterparts. Furthermore, "CL" is used for its compact "light" vehicles, while the sport convertibles start with the "SL" designation.
The compact C-Class, midsize E-Class, and flagship S-Class continue to be mainstays in the lineup. Each come with four-door sedan and two-door coupe body styles.
The CLA 250 is the entry-level subcompact sedan, while the GLA 250 is the subcompact of the SUVs.
The CLS 550 is an elegant four-door, full-size "coupe" that offer a sportier driving experience over the executive S-Class.
Moving onto the other SUVs, the GLC 300 is a compact SUV that offers 56.5 cubic feet of cargo space. It seats five passengers.
The GLE 350 continues to fill in Mercedes' midsize category. The GLE 550e is its plug-in hybrid counterpart.
The full-size GLS 450 and GLS 550 SUVs can seat up to seven passengers across three rows.
The G-Class stands out as a unique SUV unlike any other Mercedes vehicles in the lineup. While it has the build quality to match its rugged exterior styling, it has also many luxurious amenities on the inside.
The SLC 300 is a two-seat compact convertible roadster with a retractable hardtop. It's larger siblings, the SL 450 and SL 550, each have their own twin-turbocharged V-8 engine mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Mercedes has an all-electric 5-door hatchback in the B-Class.
Two commercial vans are also available: the Metris and Sprinter.

What was the most amazing thing I witnessed for the first time at OOW 08?
Hands down, it is the compostible drinking cup! Yes, compostible, not recyclable. It looks just like any other plastic (not paper) drink cup you see at almost any public water dispensers. The difference? It's made of corn syrup, I was told, not plastic and hence compostible. Wow!
I am not a green fanatic; but I consider myself a responsible adult concerned about the environment doing his share to reduce the landfills, pollutions and paper consumption. I do things that are practical: I don't print something I can read on the monitor; project emails, powerpoints on the screen/projector while conferring with colleagues rather than printing; use back sides of printouts to scribble; use 2-sided printing; donate kids' toys and cloths to charity rather than throw them in trash and so on. But there are some things I just couldn't jettison; at least not yet. One of them was the ubiquitous plastic drinking cup and the bottled water. The convenience of the water bottle was just too much to ignore and my lazy bones reigned over my conscience and I always gravitated, albeit a little guiltly, to the water bottle.
It was my second session at Open World this year. It was full with 332 attendees with a whopping 277 attendees on wait list! the room capacity was 397. Of course, the room did have some fragmentation and not everyone could make it.
Here is the abstract:
There is a world outside the glittering marketing glitz surrounding Oracle 11g. In this session, a DBA and author of the popular 11g New Features series on OTN covers features that stand out in the real world and make your job easier, your actions more efficient and resilient, and so on. Learn the new features with working examples: how to use Database Replay and SQL Performance Analyzer to accurately predict the effect of changes and Recovery Manager (RMAN) Data Recovery Advisor to catch errors and corruption so new stats won't cause issues.
Thank you very much for those who decided to attend. I hope you found it useful. Here is the presentation. You can download it from the Open World site too. Please note, the companion site to see al working examples and a more detailed coverage is still my Oracle 11g New Features Series on Oracle Technology Network.

Looking into the eyes of the Iceman
Remember Ötzi the Iceman? He was that mummified man found back in 1991, ice-encased in the Alps somewhere around the border of Austria and Italy, having died some 5300 years ago at the age of approximately 45. Above is a reconstruction of his face.
I didn't know this until now but it turns out that not only can scientists figure out what supper he ate last, but they can even be reasonably certain of his eye colour thanks to genome analysis! They were brown, by the way. DNA analysis also reveals he had Lyme disease, was at risk of atherosclerosis, and of Ibero-Sardinian descent. Very fascinating stuff!
Sadly, genetics won't tell us what language he spoke but we can make some educated guesses nonetheless. Given the region, he might have spoken some Celtic or Italic dialect. On the other hand, could he have spoken Paleo-Sardinian or some other non-Indo-European language instead? We can never be sure; that's a possible option too. In case anyone is wondering though, given the millennium he died in, one thing is sure: he didn't speak an Etrusco-Rhaetic language since that population hadn't yet settled in Italy.

Celtic or Italic in Europe 5300 years ago?ReplyDelete
Considering that PIE is commonly thought to've originated from Ukraine 4000BC, I'd hardly expect that in 3300BC we'd already be able to speak of such distinguished dialects as Celtic or Italic (if anything, Pre-Proto-Italo-Celtic), but any presence of an Indo-European language in the Alps that early seems a bit difficult to believe.
It'd be awesome if we could find out though. But science can only do so much :-(
Stuff like this does stimulate the imagination.
You're being a bit too pedantic and literal. I've simply left it vaguely at "some Celtic or Italic dialect", that is, "some PIE language having a Celtic or Italic essence." So your view and mine are effectively equivalent.ReplyDelete
However, you make the mistake of assuming a priori that a common Proto-Italo-Celtic must have existed rather than a western spectrum of co-evolving Indo-European dialects (the more realistic and accepted scenario). The Proto-Italo-Celtic hypothesis fails to account for the shared innovations of Celtic, Germanic, Venetic and Italic together. Interesting isoglosses cut across all of these dialects, indicating co-evolution by way of local waves of innovation rather than by some tidy family tree.
Phoenix: "[...] but any presence of an Indo-European language in the Alps that early seems a bit difficult to believe."
The fact is that no one knows for certain and neither do you. To answer this question, we should first ask ourselves: How far did the PIE-speaking community extend at 4000 BCE? If we envision a small area in the Ukraine, it seems unlikely, just as you say. However it's not realistic to think of pastoralists inhabiting localized areas since they're semi-nomadic by definition.
If however we conceptualize the language area as a large region that had quickly expanded between 4500 and 4000 BCE, it may not be so odd. Further, do we know whether previous IE or para-IE dialects had arrived to the Alps first before the arrival of Proto-Italic proper? All of these questions are tough to answer but these unknowns are important factors to help us decide whether one's doubts of an IE language in the Alps at this time are based on reasonable facts or idle impressions.
"You're being a bit too pedantic and literal. I've simply left it vaguely at "some Celtic or Italic dialect", that is, "some PIE language having a Celtic or Italic essence." So your view and mine are effectively equivalent."ReplyDelete
Not my intention.
Last I heard, in Leiden people still seem quite convinced of the Proto-Italo-Celtic hypothesis. Betraying my a priori assumption that it exists.
My knowledge of, especially, Italic and Celtic is terrible though. It's two of the branches of Indo-European that I did not get to explore very much.
Not that I shouldn't get into that now, do you have any reference about the refutal of Italo-Celtic?
You're right that the presence of an IE language in the Alps has too many unknowns to either speak for or against its presence.
Before the mention arises, I'd like to quickly and quietly summon and dismiss Vennemann's "Vasconic" and "Atlantic Semitic" theories. Especially the latter.ReplyDelete
One thing about the former, though: since Vasconic influence extended into France with Aquitanian, could it have reached what's now northern Italy? Is there any archaeological evidence linking the current Basque area with northern Italy? Or what about inclunce from the Iberian or Tartessian regions(unless that fringe group is correct in identifying the latter as Celtic)? Or, indeed, pre-North Picene (if the surviving North Picene relics can be differentiated by any archaeological means from the surrounding Italic and Tyrrhenian cultures)
Of course, similarity in culture does not necessarily mean similarity in language.
No worries, Phoenix. Pedantics can sometimes be beneficial to a discussion anyway, as I believe it is in this case.ReplyDelete
Phoenix: "Last I heard, in Leiden people still seem quite convinced of the Proto-Italo-Celtic hypothesis."
This may be so but as I explained, the basic facts mitigate against it and the theory is now generally understood to be antiquated as Wave Theory has taken root (see Mallory/Adams, The Oxford Introduction to Proto-Indo-European and the Proto-Indo-European World, 2006. p.78). I see no reason to go backwards and insist on a shrinking minority view.
Phoenix: "Not that I shouldn't get into that now, do you have any reference about the refutal of Italo-Celtic?"
Dear goddess, it's everywhere, man! Even Wikipedia: Italo-Celtic expresses doubts and mentions how Calvert Watkins squashed it back in the 60s with Italo-Celtic revisited. At any rate surely one cannot dismiss the wave model of language change in favour of abstract, non-real-world cladistics but that's what the Proto-Italo-Celtic camp ignores.
At any rate, we can agree on the *possibility* of an IE or para-IE language in the region at the time and that's perhaps as precise as we can be for now. Material evidence from archaeology sadly can't give us a clear indication of language displacement despite popular, misguided attempts that fundamentally confuse demic movement for linguistic movement.
Seadog: "One thing about the former, though: since Vasconic influence extended into France with Aquitanian, could it have reached what's now northern Italy?"ReplyDelete
Honestly I don't see why not but I haven't heard of anything that can resolve the issue conclusively. Personally I think it reasonable to suspect that Vasconic extended across a wider region before the advent of the Indo-European languages.
"Is there any archaeological evidence linking the current Basque area with northern Italy?
As you concluded, "similarity in culture does not necessarily mean similarity in language." Archaeology will only show commonalities in material culture but not necessarily language. So if it were that France and Italy had shared common cultural features at the time, what do we expect it could possibly tell us about something intangible like language? I argue: nothing.
Consider the Rhaetic-speaking population which appeared in the 1st millennium BCE who had freely adopted Celtic traits. Archaeology would tell us little if it weren't for inscriptions showing a distinct language from Celtic.
I think that we need to keep focused on the more relevant facts and the only thing that can really tell us about where language was positioned is language itself. Loanwords are telling in this respect but there's scant of substance proposed on prehistoric interactions of Proto-Italic-speaking peoples with non-IE languages. Vennemann may be as good as we have! And if anyone's dissatisfied with that answer, I encourage them to propose something better.
Finally, I do wonder whether the Basque and Paleo-Sardinian languages might have a connection. It's hard to know what to make of Ötzi's unique genetics (ie. his special K1ö subclade). His genetics are connected most closely with those in Iberia, Sardinia and Sicily which makes me wonder whether this hints at a former distribution of Vasconic languages prior to the dominance of IE languages. But, again, we're treading into frustating unknowns. Ideas to spur research can't hurt though.

pubOne.info present you this new edition. The two dialogues which are translated in the second appendix are not mentioned by Aristotle, or by any early authority, and have no claim to be ascribed to Plato. They are examples of Platonic dialogues to be assigned probably to the second or third generation after Plato, when his writings were well known at Athens and Alexandria. They exhibit considerable originality, and are remarkable for containing several thoughts of the sort which we suppose to be modern rather than ancient, and which therefore have a peculiar interest for us. The Second Alcibiades shows that the difficulties about prayer which have perplexed Christian theologians were not unknown among the followers of Plato. The Eryxias was doubted by the ancients themselves: yet it may claim the distinction of being, among all Greek or Roman writings, the one which anticipates in the most striking manner the modern science of political economy and gives an abstract form to some of its principal doctrines.

Gilbert Family Attorney John Ray on WRCN 103.9 FM
The Gilbert Family attorney, John Ray, took out some time to call-in to the Crime Report on Long Island News Radio, WRCN 103.9 FM. Mr. Ray has been one of the strongest voices pushing the Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) case forward. He has not been deterred by any obstacles on his path to the truth. Mainly, what happpend on the night that Shannan Gilbert ran screaming from Oak Beach, NY?
Was Shannan a Victim of LISK?
Shannan Gilbert fled Oak Beach on the night of May 1, 2010. Her skeletal remains were found about eighteen months later not far from where she was last seen. There are many unanswered questions regarding her disappearance. For one thing, who was the first police officer on the scene and what did they do? A security camera was located at the entrance of Oak Beach and not far from where Gilbert was last seen. Whatever happened that night, we know one thing for sure: Without Shannan, there would be no LISK.
A New Autopsy
Suffolk County Police contend that Shannan Gilbert was not murdered. Instead, the cause of death was drowning and the manner of death, accidental. John Ray commissioned a new autopsy with world-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden. Dr. Baden concluded that Shannan's cause of death was asphyxia and the manner of death was homicide.
The Long Island Crime Expo
John Ray and I will be on hand for the first ever Long Island Crime Expo on Saturday, November 3, 2018. We will discuss his findings and explore other possible avenues in the LISK case. Here is just a snippet of what to expect at the Expo!

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
Karen Joy Fowler
When Rosemary was just five, she lost her twin sister, Fern. Her mother collapsed into a deep depression. Her older brother Lowell spent more and more days away from home until he finally ran away. Her father never talked about Fern. As a college student, Rosemary is still struggling with the loss- trying to figure out who she is, and how she relates to people. Fern, tho, was not really Rosemary's sister. Fern was a chimpanzee, and the girls- one human, one primate- were raised together as part of her father's research.
The story about the girl and the chimpanzee is good. It raises some tough questions about human research on animals, and what it means to be human. But there are more layers to this book than just narrative.
We Are All asks big questions about language, meaning and communication. Did Fern learn to speak to humans, or did Rosemary learn to speak like a chimp? As a research subject, Rosemary's voluble speech was interesting; without Fern, no one cared as much. In time she left more and more unsaid.
We Are All also brings up questions about family: what makes a family? What becomes of a family when members are taken away or leave? What do we owe to our siblings?
The ending (no spoilers here) is hopeful, if not exactly happy. It doesn't seem to matter which language is spoken- human or chimpanzee- as long as we are communicating. In the end, our family are the ones who we can recognize as "same"- our red poker chips.

As I mentioned before, I brought some new yarn from TNNA. How do I explain what I feel looking at the yarn, touching it, thinking about what I can make from it to a person who does not knit? Well, it is nearly impossible, I think. Yes, you can talk about colors like in a painting, fibers that give you three dimensional prospective and so on. It is more than this, though. There is an interesting and exciting challenge in front of you as a designer or a knitter as you are admiring the yarn. This beautiful thing needs your input to bring it to life, to allow it to display all of the best qualities it has and maybe discover some hidden ones on a way. What garment it wants to be knitted into, what stitch pattern (s) will do the magic? When I teach a class, I like to show the difference between the yarns by bringing a few swatches made in the same stitch pattern, but different yarn. It is just fascinating to me.
Just look at these yarns I brought back from Long Beach. One company that I could not stop thinking about when I came home is Bijou Basin Ranch . The fiber of this yarn is yak. Some yarns are 100% yak and some are mixed with other fibers like alpaca, bamboo, merino wool. You can read about these yarns in more detail here. Here is what said on their website which I cannot agree more : "Designers rave about the knittability and workability of this yarn. Our most affordable blend that is uncompromising in bringing you true Yak softness and quality at a great price. All natural colored fibers are blended to provide yarn colors that are either a heathered grey brown or a rich cream." I do not know if you see what I see, but I love this yarn. I am going to swatch it today, so I can really appreciate the experience of knitting with yak. This is the first for me.
Another company is Louet yarns. It is based in Canada and the yarns it produces are very elegant. They do have variety of fibers and their colors a beautiful. I am not new to this yarns. In our book Casual, Elegant Knits we used linen from this company for making sure that the fabric of these two projects is sturdy. Here are the new yarns that I brought from TNNA. The red one is the mohair and linen combo. It is so much better in real life than you see on the photo. I will have to come up with something for it.
I also brought some other yarns. This is from Karabella yarns. I always loved their yarns. The founder of this company is Berta Karapetyan who came from the former Soviet Union and made it big in NY. Top fashion designers are using her yarns and designs for their knitwear collection.
So, as you see, I added to my stash "a little". Al these yarns inspire me and I am happy to have them, but there is one skein of yarn that is also new in my stash that is very special to me.
Right before my vacation I received a package from my dear friend and a wonderful designer Faina Letoutchaia. If you have read her interview, you know that she spins her own yarn and she is very knowledgeable and good at it. When I opened the package, I saw a skein of yarn there that had colors that I love for myself. I am very happy about this gift and I appreciate all the work that went into it to bring it to this beautiful state. Now I have to think about the project that will complement this beauty. My head is spinning at this point. Do you think I can sort all of my ideas out and calmly decide which I will actually bring to the next level? We will see.

I was able to use the Neutrogena UltraSheer® Liquid under my makeup and on our vacation to California.
Under my makeup- It went on smooth, it was not greasy and it felt lightweight. I did notice a tad "chalky" feeling from it but added a bit more and rubbed it in. Applying my makeup over it was easy and the chalkiness didn't show up anymore. I am thinking i just either rubbed it in too much or didn't have enough on my face at that moment.
Plain face on vacation in California- I was worried at first since i had never used it. Going into 90 degree weather with an unknown sunblock is scary. However we got back to the hotel room and to my surprise i didn't even have that tourist nose. (The bright red nose). My face didn't feel as if i had stickiness on it and it didn't burn.

Like many folks, I'm a bit confused by the rise and persistent success of Donald J. Trump as Presidential candidate. People, supposedly smarter than I in these matters, say that without specific policy positions Trump will soon take a nose dive in the polls.
When I heard this theory on the car radio today, I had an epiphany. How many voters read policy papers? How many voters know the nitty gritty details of their favorite candidate's positions? I'm not saying there aren't some well informed voters out there but as I discussed in a recent essay, most American voters can barely find their way to the polling place.
Long before Barack Obama's cult of personality, presidential candidates appealed to voters for purely emotional, cathartic reasons. We had Reagan's grandfatherly, sunny optimism. We had Kennedy's youth and (apparent) vitality. Eisenhower was a war hero. Most of these folks had experience in politics. That's just the nature of the game. But their voting record as a Senator? Puhleeze. The only change we are seeing in 2015 is this:
For once, the populace is saying "we don't need no stinkin' policy papers". Those who like Trump like him because he seems to shoot from the hip. He ignores the "rules of politics". He doesn't pretend that you are going to study his ideas. He simply says, "don't worry, I'll handle it, and it will be terrific!" Seriously folks, what more does the average American need to know? Want to know how to handle China? Don't worry about the specifics. We are gonna send Carl Icahn over there to get the job done. DC doesn't know crap about negotiation. Icahn is a "killer".
Here we have a candidate who has busted the myth of the functional president. Trump's an entertainer and he is letting us all in on the truth that the President's primary job is to be an entertainer … an entertainer who gets the right folks around him to get the job done. Trump is down on Obama (to put it mildly) but what is one of his chief complaints? He complains that Caroline Kennedy is our Ambassador to Japan. He calls it a joke. And of course, it is kind of a joke, isn't it?
My theory is that Trump is laying bare what fringe elements have been saying for some time, namely that the presidency is largely ceremonial, largely a puppet show with special interests' hands shoved up the ass of the puppet. And again, how appealing is it to hear a candidate say "I can't be bought. In fact, I DO the buying." Trump is defying pundit's expectations because he's showing the emperor to be naked in a way no candidate has done. He is changing the rules of the game and none of his opponents nor the media in general know what to do with him.
A Side Note about Bernie Sanders
Because Trump is still seen by many as a side show and spectacle, he is being used to discredit the campaign of Bernie Sanders. Just about no one is making the comparison between the two as a compliment to Bernie. The fact is Bernie and Donald share one key trait. They are telling their audiences a truth that their opponents cannot do convincingly, Hillary Clinton is a phony populist. Martin O'Malley is an old school pol. It's hard to tell if Jim Webb is even really a liberal. And Lincoln Chafee is … Lincoln Chafee. When it comes to the message of income inequality and that we are all getting the short end of the stick, Bernie is the real deal. And when it comes to exposing the charade that is our presidency and government, Donald is the real deal too.
What do you think? The bar is open.

Author Unknown
Like most elementary schools, it was typical to have a parade of students in and out of the health clinic throughout the day. We dispensed ice for bumps and bruises, Band-Aids for cuts, and liberal doses of sympathy and hugs. As principal, my office was right next door to the clinic, so I often dropped in to lend a hand and help out with the hugs. I knew that for some kids, mine might be the only one they got all day.
One morning I was putting a Band-Aid on a little girl's scraped knee. Her blonde hair was matted, and I noticed that she was shivering in her thin little sleeveless blouse. I found her a warm sweatshirt and helped her pull it on. "Thanks for taking care of me," she whispered as she climbed into my lap and snuggled up against me.
It wasn't long after that when I ran across an unfamiliar lump under my arm. Cancer, an aggressively spreading kind, had already invaded thirteen of my lymph nodes. I pondered whether or not to tell the students about my diagnosis. The word breast seemed so hard to say out loud to them, and the word cancer seemed so frightening.
When it became evident that the children were going to find out one way or another, either the straight scoop from me or possibly a garbled version from someone else, I decided to tell them myself. It wasn't easy to get the words out, but the empathy and concern I saw in their faces as I explained it to them told me I had made the right decision. When I gave them a chance to ask questions, they mostly wanted to know how they could help. I told them that what I would like best would be their letters, pictures and prayers.
I stood by the gym door as the children solemnly filed out. My little blonde friend darted out of line and threw herself into my arms. Then she stepped back to look up into my face. "Don't be afraid, Dr. Perry," she said earnestly, "I know you'll be back because now it's our turn to take care of you."
No one could have ever done a better job. The kids sent me off to my first chemotherapy session with a hilarious book of nausea remedies that they had written. A video of every class in the school singing get-well songs accompanied me to the next chemotherapy appointment. By the third visit, the nurses were waiting at the door to find out what I would bring next. It was a delicate music box that played "I Will Always Love You."
Even when I went into isolation at the hospital for a bone marrow transplant, the letters and pictures kept coming until they covered every wall of my room.
Then the kids traced their hands onto colored paper, cut them out and glued them together to make a freestanding rainbow of helping hands. "I feel like I've stepped into Disneyland every time I walk into this room," my doctor laughed. That was even before the six-foot apple blossom tree arrived adorned with messages written on paper apples from the students and teachers. What healing comfort I found in being surrounded by these tokens of their caring.
At long last I was well enough to return to work. As I headed up the road to the school, I was suddenly overcome by doubts. What if the kids have forgotten all about me? I wondered, What if they don't want a skinny bald principal? What if I caught sight of the school marquee as I rounded the bend. "Welcome Back, Dr. Perry," it read. As I drew closer, everywhere I looked were pink ribbons – ribbons in the windows, tied on the doorknobs, even up in the trees. The children and staff wore pink ribbons, too.
My blonde buddy was first in line to greet me. "You're back, Dr. Perry, you're back!" she called. "See, I told you we'd take care of you!"
As I hugged her tight, in the back of my mind I faintly heard my music box playing… "I will always love you."
HELP FIGHT BREAST CANCER… With the New "Breast Cancer Stamp Booklet"
As you may know, the U.S. Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that affects so many of our Mothers, Sisters and Friends.
Instead of the normal 37 cents for a stamp, this one costs 40 cents. The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $7.40. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care.
I urge you to do two things TODAY:
1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps.
2. E-mail your friends to do the same.
Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in this drive. We can all afford the $0.60. Please help… and pass this on.
Over 600 Million Stamps Sold So Far!
Since 1998, this stamp has raised more than $50 million for breast cancer research.

When my SmartNav 4 AT is plugged in the SmartNav software displays message "OptiTrack device detected, This software only works with SmartNav". Why would the software detect it as an OptiTrack device when it is a SmartNav? Its not an issue with anything else because my other SmartNav plugged into the same computer using the same cable is working without issue.
Any ideas? It was used briefly by someone else then I got it back. I looked at the cable connection and everything appears to be in order.
SmartNav 4 detecting as OptiTrack device
This is the place for comments, criticisms and even the occasional compliment related to the SmartNav drivers and profiler. Also the place to discuss and review support issues.

James Gandolfini for HBO's Criminal Justice
Story by Jack Foley
JAMES Gandolfini is set to star in new HBO series Criminal Justice.
An adaptation of Peter Moffat's 2008 BBC crime drama, the original New York-set drama tracked a person on trial for murder through the court process, with each of its two five-episode seasons consisting of a new cast.
HBO's installment will revolve around the first arc, which originally tracked Ben Whishaw as a man who wakes up to find the stranger he partied with the night before stabbed to death. He is subsequently charged with her murder.
Steven Zaillian, the Oscar-winning writer of Schindler's List will co-pen the pilot and direct with Richard Price, an Academy Award nominee for The Color of Money co-writing as well.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gandolfini will star as Jack Stone, a down-trodden jailhouse attorney who frequents police stations for clients.
It's during one such visit that he finds a client, Naz, an American-born Pakistani, to be played by Riz Ahmed.
The pilot also features Bill Camp as a character named Box, Peyman Moadi as Salim Kahn and Poorna Jagannathan as Safar Kahn, Naz's parents.
In its original BBC form, Criminal Justice earned Moffat a BAFTA as best writer as well as best drama serial in 2009, with Matthew Macfadyen collecting a supporting actor prize in 2010.
Whishaw took home the 2009 International Emmy for his leading role.

The AUG is a bullpup weapon appearing as an assault rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops and Find Makarov, and as a submachine gun in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Call of Duty: Black OpsEdit
The AUG is the default weapon used by Hudson and all the members of the CIA in "WMD", equipped with a Suppressor, a Swarovski Scope, and a unique Yukon camouflage. A single AUG, identical to those carried by the team but lacks a suppressor, can be found lying on the ground in the room after the first window breach. It is the signature weapon of Grigori Weaver.
The AUG is the 6th Assault Rifle unlocked, at level 26.
Compared to other weapons in its category, the AUG has a low damage-per-shot, as its damage dropoff comes earlier than other assault rifles, and that headshots will not change the time to kill at close range. However, this low damage-per-shot is remedied by a powerful rate of fire, at 937 RPM. This combination; however, can make it easy to waste ammunition, causing frequent reloads and shortages.
To eliminate the aforementioned weaknesses, Scavenger Pro and Sleight of Hand will allow the user to worry much less about its key weaknesses.
As far as accuracy is concerned, the user will have to be very accurate to use it well. The recoil kicks the sights left, right, and up, making recoil correction more difficult than it is compared to its competitor, the FAMAS. At longer ranges, it is almost a necessity to burst fire, as the recoil is large enough to throw many players off their aim during sustained fire.
The iron sights on this weapon are very clear, sharing the leaf sights with the FAMAS, Enfield, Commando and G11. However, the AUG's front post is larger, which can make the handling of the weapon fluctuate due to the larger sight.
The AUG gets the usual assortment of attachment options. Magazine modifications are very good for this weapon if more sustained fire is desired. As well, the Suppressor turns the AUG into a deadly stealth weapon capable of delivering large amounts of silenced fire, while its adverse affect is minimal due to the minor difference between the maximum and minimum damage.
If desired, optical attachments are there as well; however, the AUG gets a unique ACOG Scope in the form of the Swarovski Scope, which has a small circle with a dot in it indicating where the player shoots. It is very clear compared to the American and Soviet ACOG Scopes; however, the moderately large recoil of the AUG is increased, which can bring a major hindrance into play when using it, as burst firing will be a common sight to simply keep the dot on target.
All of the underbarrel attachments are there, too. The Masterkey and Flamethrower have minimal effect on the AUG, due to its already stellar close-range capabilities. However, the Grenade Launcher can provide a useful use in flushing out certain interior areas, or even keeping objective points a dangerous spot.
The AUG is most commonly compared to the FAMAS, due to their similar iron sights, rates of fire, and damage profiles. Before a patch, the FAMAS was superior in many aspects compared to the AUG. However, a patch severely reduced the handling of the FAMAS, giving it more recoil, a longer ADS time, and a larger hip-fire spread. As far as handling is concerned now, the AUG is superior in nearly every aspect, except for the fact that the FAMAS is unlocked 12 levels earlier.
In conclusion, the AUG is commonly seen online due to its many key aspects, as the skilled player can easily pin down opponents with a massive amount of bullets and cause a lot of trouble for the opposing team due to this. As such, it is commonly used by casual and pro players alike, due to its defining aspects. However, the FAMAS remains equally popular even with the numerous handling issues (due to the faster unlock time and smaller iron sights), which can cause the AUG to receive less use than its counterpart, especially with the lower-leveled players.
- Extended Mags
- Dual Mag
- ACOG Scope (Swarovski)
- Red Dot Sight
- Reflex Sight
- Masterkey
- Flamethrower
- Infrared Scope
- Suppressor
- Grenade Launcher (M203)
This weapon is available in all Zombies maps (except Dead Ops Arcade). It is only available via the Mystery Box. It always appears with the Swarovski Scope attachment. In the Wii edition, it can be found in Kino der Toten in the Theater Room under the auto turret, for 1200 points. The AUG has decent damage, a fast rate of fire, and a significant ammo reserve, making it an effective gun until around round 20 if aiming for headshots. The Swarovski Scope is a double-edged sword; on the one hand, it provides a clearer view on target and allows for easier headshots; however, it also increases the ADS time and recoil, making hipfiring advisable in close-quarters. Speed Cola is highly recommended, as the fast rate of fire will burn through a magazine very quickly. Combined with Double Tap Root Beer, the already high rate of fire means that the gun can run out of ammo very quickly if not carefully conserved. Deadshot Daiquiri can be very useful on the maps Call of the Dead, Shangri-La, and Moon, combining with the scope to create a potent weapon for headshots. On iOS the scope on the AUG is not functional
When Pack-A-Punched the AUG becomes the "AUG-5OM3", (a combination of 'AUG' and 'Awesome', in leet speak). Pack-A-Punching it will increase the damage, ammo reserve, and add a powerful Masterkey underbarrel shotgun. The Masterkey comes with 36 rounds and can kill Hellhounds with one shot up to at least round 25. Note that the Masterkey itself is not Pack-A-Punched and when firing the muzzle flash will be violet and exit from the AUG barrel. The AUG-50M3's combination of good damage and a high rate of fire give it the highest damage per second of any Pack-A-Punched Assault Rifle, LMG or SMG, making it effective both at killing zombies and scoring points, even into the later rounds (although consequently it will run out of ammunition faster than the LMGs or some Assault Rifles). The AUG's decent ammo capacity, power, and headshot capability make it a worthy gun to Pack-A-Punch. Running out of ammo on either version is not a worry on the Wii, as it is available from the wall and from the box alike, a massive advantage over all the other versions.

Call of Duty: Black OpsEdit
- In the E3 demo, instead of holding onto the foregrip or the handguard, the player's character seems to hold onto the trigger guard.
- The early version of the AUG had a different pick-up animation, where the character would pull the foregrip down and then pull the bolt back with the palm facing towards the body, instead of just raising the rifle and pulling the bolt with the palm out. It can be seen here at the 3:15 mark.
- When the Swarovski Scope is attached to the AUG, the rails are removed.
- The Swarovski Scope also has a back-up iron sight atop of the scope.
- Originally, the AUG had a unique reload animation, but it has been changed to a reload animation similar to the AUG HBAR from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
- The unique reload animation is present in Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies.
- The AUG will always have a Grip in multiplayer unless an underbarrel attachment is chosen.
- The AUG in the campaign has no camouflage applied to the scope while in multiplayer any camouflage applied to the AUG fully covers the entire weapon (with the exception of the Gold Camouflage).
- Adding a Grenade Launcher, Masterkey or a Flamethrower will give the AUG a unique heat shield. The AUG is also the only assault rifle that receives a heat shield from all three of the underbarrel attachments.
- The Masterkey on the AUG-50M3 will not produce a muzzle flash when fired; it appears to come from the main barrel of the AUG. Also when switching to the Masterkey with the AUG-50M3, its name is still "AUG-50M3".
- On the Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the AUG is gray for default.
- When watching kill cams, the rails will move backwards as if they were the charging handle, however this only occurs when sights are attached.
- The AUG model is missing the trigger.
- When reloading Masterkey shells on the Pack-a-Punched AUG, one can see that the shells also have the Pack-a-Punch engravings.
- In the E3 demo, the AUG's Swarovski Scope had cross-hairs like on the American ACOG Scope, had higher visual recoil similar to the AK-47 and the AUG had a unique firing sound with the Suppressor.
- In Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies, the foregrip is not present.
- On the Wii version, the scope is not covered in camouflage - as with all guns.

White Pelicans
Seems I volunteered to make home made stuffing/dressing (even though I don't eat wheat). I have made it dozens of times and will use our family recipe. Since I don't have pots and pans and some of the ingredients, it will be a group effort. One of the employees, that is a hunter, is supplying his homemade sausage, the refuge manager is bringing the bread and some baking dishes from home. I borrowed an onion and poultry seasoning from my neighbor. I have the celery, apple, potato, a can of broth and butter. Only thing that will be missing are the gizzards from the turkey, but I have left those out in the past.
I am off work Friday and will cook in the kitchen of the Volunteer Outpost on Friday morning.

My favorite so far is isolation transformers. They're relatively inexpensive and work exceptionally well.
In the interest of full disclosure - I build the Bybee conditioners under contract, so I am not exactly unbiased.mike

Hammertoe Pain Treatment2015-07-09
A Hammer toes is a contracture of the toes as a result of a muscle imbalance between the tendons on the top and the tendons on the bottom of the toe. They can be flexible or rigid in nature. When they are rigid, it is not possible to straighten the toe out by manipulating it. Frequently, they develop corns on the top of the toe as a result of rubbing on the shoe. They may also cause a bothersome callous on the ball of the foot. This occurs as a result of the toe pressing downward on the bone behind the toe. This area then becomes prominent and the pressure of the bone against the ground causes a callous to form.
Most hammertoes are caused by wearing ill-fitting, tight or high-heeled shoes over a long period of time. Shoes that don't fit well can crowd the toes, putting pressure on the middle toes and causing them to curl downward. The condition may be more likely when the second toe is longer than the first toe or when the arch of the foot is flat. Hammertoe can also be present at birth (congenital). Hammertoe also can be caused by a bunion, which is the knobby bump that sometimes develops at the side of the big toe. A bunion causes the big toe to bend toward the other toes. The big toe can then overlap and crowd the smaller toes. Occasionally, a hammertoe is inherited or caused by arthritis in the toe joint.
The symptoms of hammertoe are progressive, meaning that they get worse over time. Hammertoe causes the middle joint on the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes to bend. The affected toe may be painful or irritated, especially when you wear shoes. Areas of thickened skin (corns) may develop between, on top of, or at the end of your toes. Thickened skin (calluses) may also appear on the bottom of your toe or the ball of your foot. It may be difficult to find a pair of shoes that is comfortable to wear.
Your doctor is very likely to be able to diagnose your hammertoe simply by examining your foot. Even before that, he or she will probably ask about your family and personal medical history and evaluate your gait as you walk and the types of shoes you wear. You'll be asked about your symptoms, when they started and when they occur. You may also be asked to flex your toe so that your doctor can get an idea of your range of motion. He or she may order x-rays in order to better define your deformity.
Non Surgical Treatment
Apply a commercial, nonmedicated hammertoe pad around the bony prominence of the hammertoe. This will decrease pressure on the area. Wear a shoe with a deep toe box. If the hammertoe becomes inflamed and painful, apply ice packs several times a day to reduce swelling. Avoid heels more than two inches tall. A loose-fitting pair of shoes can also help protect the foot while reducing pressure on the affected toe, making walking a little easier until a visit to your podiatrist can be arranged. It is important to remember that, while this treatment will make the hammertoe feel better, it does not cure the condition. A trip to the podiatric physician?s office will be necessary to repair the toe to allow for normal foot function. Avoid wearing shoes that are too tight or narrow. Children should have their shoes properly fitted on a regular basis, as their feet can often outgrow their shoes rapidly. See your podiatric physician if pain persists.
Surgical Treatment
Hammer toe can be corrected by surgery if conservative measures fail. Usually, surgery is done on an outpatient basis with a local anesthetic. The actual procedure will depend on the type and extent of the deformity. After the surgery, there may be some stiffness, swelling and redness and the toe may be slightly longer or shorter than before. You will be able to walk, but should not plan any long hikes while the toe heals, and should keep your foot elevated as much as possible.

Warning!: blockdelete.com- Protect Your Ass!
What they do is capture your Windows Live Messenger credentials under the ruse that they will show you all your blocked contacts (which is easy enough to do yourself with libraries like DotMsn - without the security risks).
What they don't tell you is that if you do this, your account is now compromised -- and they'll send every one of your contacts a message (since it's your credentials, it appears from you, a trusted contact) that tells you to go visit their site and sucker for it too. There's only one solution if you suckered for it - you have to change your Live.com password immediately.
Just look at this:

When you click on their Privacy page link, you get nada! What a scam. Unfortunately, from reading the newsgroup and forum posts, it appears that thousands of people are getting suckered for this social engineering scam from these total scumbags.
I'm seriously considering complaining to Google about this, because the bastards have a Google Adsense ad at the bottom of their page. Clearly a violation of Google's TOS. If enough people complain, Google will ban them and they'll have no financial incentive any longer. Incidentally, Google has recently begun actually soliciting reports of "bad" web sites.

Okay ladies listen up our lives are on the line… The Center for Disease and Control just recently put out a Press Release about the "alarming rate" of diseases recently reported in the United States. Since WOMEN are included in those stats, we wanted to personally share this article with you in order for us to continue to protect ourselves during sexual activities but also get tested regularly. Please take a moment and read this article and share it with other friends:
For immediate release: November 17, 2015
Contact: National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
(404) 639-8895 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Reported Cases of Sexually Transmitted Diseases on the Rise, Some at Alarming Rate
Reported cases of three nationally notifiable STDs – chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis – have increased for the first time since 2006, according to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the 2014 STD Surveillance Report.
The approximately 1.4 million reported cases of chlamydia, a rate of 456.1 cases per 100,000 population, is up 2.8 percent since 2013. Rates of primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis – the most infectious stages of syphilis –and gonorrhea have both increased since 2013, by 15.1 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively. In 2014, there were 350,062 reported cases of gonorrhea (a rate of 110.7 per 100,000) and 19,999 reported cases of P&S syphilis (for a rate of 6.3 per 100,000).
STDs continue to affect young people—particularly women–most severely, but increasing rates among men contributed to the overall increases in 2014 across all three diseases.
"America's worsening STD epidemic is a clear call for better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention," said Jonathan Mermin, M.D., director of CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention. "STDs affect people in all walks of life, particularly young women and men, but these data suggest an increasing burden among gay and bisexual men."
Research needed to better understand increases among gay and bisexual men
P&S syphilis among men who have sex with men (MSM) has been increasing since at least 2000. In 2014, rates of P&S syphilis increased among MSM, who account for 83 percent of reported cases among men when the sex of the partner is known. Also concerning is that more than half of MSM (51 percent) diagnosed with syphilis in 2014 were also HIV-positive. Infection with syphilis can cause sores on the genitals, which make it easier to transmit and acquire HIV.
Syphilis is currently the only STD for which information on the sex of the sex partner is reported. However, a growing body of evidence indicates that MSM are experiencing similar increases in gonorrhea and chlamydia infections– underscoring the need to further understand what is contributing to the rise.
Gay and bisexual men face a combination of social, epidemiologic, and individual risk factors that can fuel high levels of STDs. Higher prevalence of infection within sexual networks increases the likelihood of acquiring an STD with each sexual encounter. Additionally, barriers to receiving STD services such as lack of access to quality health care, homophobia, or stigma may all contribute to greater risk for this population. CDC recommends screening at least once a year for syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea for all sexually active MSM.
To better identify and address specific challenges facing gay and bisexual men, CDC is concentrating research efforts to better identify and address specific challenges facing gay and bisexual men, developing educational resources for providers to engage them in sexual health services, and improving efforts to offer more culturally relevant care.

Polar Star Begins the Annual McMurdo Station Breakout
Antarctica. It's an ice desert full of wonder, mystique and beauty. Its harsh conditions are home to a select few animal species and a few hundred researchers and support personnel, and occasionally, the 150 crewmembers of the Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star.
The Seattle-based Polar Star left home in December 2017 en route to Antarctica in support of Operation Deep Freeze 2018, the U.S. military's contribution to the National Science Foundation (NSF)-managed U.S. Antarctic Program.
As the only operational heavy icebreaker in the entire United States' fleet, it is the Polar Star's job to clear a path through frozen waters for supply ships headed to Antarctica's logistics hub, McMurdo Station. It's those Antarctic summertime supply deliveries that allow the station to stay operational year-round, including during the dark and tumultuous winter.
McMurdo, one of three Antarctic stations operated year-round by NSF, is home to the largest laboratory in Antarctica, the Albert P. Crary Science and Engineering Center. McMurdo also serves as a staging area for teams headed to Earth's geographic south pole, which is home to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, and deep-field research camps.
Nearly 1,000 people call McMurdo their summer home during the southern hemisphere's warmer months. The work done there is the result of the 1959 Antarctic Treaty System, which laid the groundwork for international and interagency cooperation for science and discovery. For nearly 60 years, the Treaty has set aside national territorial claims and designated Antarctica as a sanctuary for ecological conservation and scientific research.

"It takes a lot of hard work by the crew and the Coast Guard support community to maintain the cutter and get it ready for the next Deep Freeze," said Polar Star's Commanding Officer Capt. Michael Davanzo.
The Polar Star is scheduled for its annual drydock availability upon returning back to the United States, meaning the ship comes completely out of the water in order to effect necessary repairs. Confronting such extreme conditions takes a toll on the 41-year-old Polar Star, which is the only Coast Guard cutter to go into drydock every year.
"The raw, desolate beauty of Antarctica is inspiring," said Davanzo. "A lot of us chose this assignment as an opportunity to experience the world's most isolated continent. I certainly enjoy the challenge of ice breaking in this harsh environment and it's something I'll always cherish."

In this article we take a look at how a Parish in Aylesbury Vale has had the bright idea (sorry) to map their street lights using Parish Online.
Wendover Parish Council in Aylesbury Vale has used Parish Online since 2011. The Parish Council has invested time and effort to create parish data layers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of parish management.
"A good example of a Parish layer is Street Lighting" says Ella Jones, the Parish Clerk. "We have mapped all 581 Street Lights in the Parish and we use this layer regularly to confirm ownership (Parish, District or RAF) and to pin-point the exact location of faults. The Street Lighting layer saves us a lot of time, because reports from the public often don't provide an exact location. But from the Column Number we can provide our contractor with an accurate map of the location as well as details of the type of Street Light, bulb type, contractor, maintenance history etc. If the Street Light doesn't belong to the Parish then we can pass the report to the proper owner electronically and without delay."
Ella says that the Street Lighting layer is also used to support the Parish Asset Register which is vital for insurance. "The record for each Street Light allows the inclusion of details such as the purchase price, the replacement value and the insured price. This will help us to understand the value of our assets, and it gives our insurers the data that they need to understand their insurance liability. A lot of the detailed data is still missing but we are currently putting in a lot of work into improving the data."
Ella's aim over the next few years is to use Parish Online as a tool to organise all parish records into an easily-accessible record for the council. "As the Parish Clerk I need to be able to lay my hands on all sorts of information and records, and at the moment these are held in a wide variety of different formats and media, from paper files to Excel spreadsheets to Word Documents. It took me several months to learn to navigate my way around the Parish Records, and even now I may have to spend half an hour locating an unfamiliar document. Parish Online provides a way to associate each parish record with the appropriate object in the appropriate parish layer. For instance, Parish Online will allow us to attach all the maintenance records for Street Lights to each individual light in the Street Light Layer. This will make the records easy to find, and it will allow any councillor who has the correct access rights to view the records remotely. This allows the parish as a whole to function more efficiently, for instance when I am away on holiday. There is still a long way to go before all the parish records are properly organised in Parish Online, but we are making progress."
In the future Ella would like to see more sharing of data between Parish Councils and between Parishes and the higher tiers of Local Government. She thinks that this would improve data quality by identifying and resolving errors in datasets. "A good example is publicly-owned land. The District Council does have a map on its website showing who is responsible for grass cutting. But it doesn't show which authority owns little bits of land and I am finding some areas that have hedges owned by the County Council which we are then expected to cut under devolved services. It's very hard to know exactly who owns what, and I think a consolidated map (which each authority could contribute to) would be a great help."
Better coordination of data and information between the different tiers of Local Government is a key aim of Parish Online, and we are starting to work with some leading Districts and Counties such as Bath and North East Somerset and West Sussex to identify the shared layers which would be the most useful. Leading candidates for shared layers include Publicly-owned Land and Buildings, Trees and Drainage.
Ella is pleased that the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) is now encouraging all parishes to use a Digital Mapping System. "At the moment Parish Online is used by me, the Parish Clerk, to organise parish data. But the parish councillors do not yet use the system to access records, and there is clearly a lot of potential for them to do so."
If you'd like to start mapping your street lights, we've got some hand tutorials in our Knowledge Base to get you started:

My kids were in private schools for years - it's definitely a bottomless pit. And sometimes you feel that if you don't donate, your children might pay the price indirectly (i.e., not get picked for awards, sports teams, etc.).
If you're committed to the school then I would try to get involved in a leadership position. That way you can influence the decision making, have some input, etc.
Private schools are hurting terribly in this economy, so you might have more "leverage" than you think (to effect change). And I would bet that you are not the only parent feeling that way.
We homeschool now, and it's a great feeling to use those tuition dollars in a much more efficient and effective way (and it doesn't cost nearly as much). Just think - that is "after-tax" money!
Good luck and I wish you the best.
PS: I would bring up that mom's story to the headmaster or principal and ask if it's true, and if so - why are they always asking for money?
