Good news for individuals who hate their eyes and love laser surgery: Soon you may have the ability to turn your brown eyes blue with a new laser process. It is believed that the human race started out having brown eyes and resulting from genetic mutations, different colors happened. Critics say the process may carry the danger of glaucoma, however the firm says the particles released by the process are too small to create eye well being problems. You should not anticipate to sleep and get up with changed eye color, a drastic eye color change may be a symptom of a serious illness therefore it's important to search medication with speedy effect.
Some people have a blue or green iris with a brown ring across the pupil (Sturm and Larsson 2009), which makes the classification of eye color even more difficult. A chimera can have two totally different coloured eyes just like any two siblings can—because each cell has totally different eye coloration genes. There are numerous genes that influence eye colour but the principle ones may trigger albinism, during which an individual makes no pigment if the gene operate is totally lacking at one step within the pathway.
While the surgical procedure isn't approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a rising number of people are both selecting to pay for the process and the costs of touring to a country where it is authorized. In order for you a bit bit more change without being too bold then you possibly can go for hazel. I feel that there is no such thing as a use for surgical procedure for she was sufficient pretty and the true beauty is much estimated undoubtedly there are differences earlier than and after surgery.

This resolution grew out of awareness among educators that understanding the new media and using them constructively and creatively actually required developing a new form of literacy-new critical abilities "in reading, listening, viewing, and thinking" that would enable students to deal constructively with complex new modes of delivering information, new multisensory tactics for persuasion, and new technology-based art forms.

"I was born an alcoholic — it just took a while to find the alcohol."
Dave, 40
Alcoholism is a disease and it's passed on from parent to child. I was born with the gene because there are drinkers on both sides of the family. I firmly believe this: I was born an alcoholic — it just took a while to find the alcohol.
I was eight or nine when I had my first drink during one of my parents' parties. Everyone around me was drinking and I just wanted to know what it was all about. I started drinking on a regular basis — once or twice a week — when I was 13. I started dabbling in drugs at 14. I was a full-fledged alcoholic and addict at 15.
My father retired from the Army and things went downhill quick. My parents split and my mom and sister moved out. My mom was the disciplinarian. I stayed with my dad. He was working all the time so there was very little adult supervision. I remember one night — we were sitting in the living room, watching TV. My dad was smoking and I don't know what got into me but I just reached for his packet and lit one up. And he kind of just looked at me, sized me up. And he nodded at me and went back to watching TV. From then on, I started smoking on a regular basis. Hell, my dad was buying me the smokes. I guess he didn't think it was a big deal.
When I was around 18, I realized I was dealing with more than just addiction. I was dealing with depression, which is still something I'm working out. I'd always had small "occurrences" when I just didn't feel right. But that turned into spending days in bed, sleeping 20 hours a day, not eating, isolating, not working. I felt useless and worthless and extremely sad — like, what's the point? I've had suicidal thoughts. This past spring is the closest I've ever gotten. I don't own firearms for that reason: because I know that's how I'd go. I get down and if there was a gun at hand, I'd want to try something.
I went to Alcoholics Anonymous for the first time around the same time, at 18, but it wasn't until I turned 32 when I really started working the program with a little success. In the meantime, I managed to get married and have kids while being a full-fledged addict. At Christmastime in 1999 or 2000, my oldest must have been 4 or 5. I had been drinking and smoking crack and I was passed out at the foot of her bed and she was cuddled up against me. I'd gone in there to tell her how worthless her mother — my now ex-wife — was. My wife usually took all the shit I'd dish out to her, physical and psychological. But that night she hit me and called the cops. And that was the beginning of a steep decline.
My favorite drug was cocaine. It was incredibly destructive: it took me less than one year to go from paying the bills to homelessness. I did crack cocaine too; that's the worst one. I tried PCP, which can make you violent, especially if you're on it for a long time. I used to love dippers. You'd get some "juice" — a vial of liquid PCP that usually came in a vanilla extract bottle — and a cigarette, preferably non-menthol. You'd take the filter out of the cigarette and replace it with a bit of cardboard, and then dip the tip of it in the juice. You give it a couple of drags to make sure the liquid soaks through the tobacco, and then you let it dry out. Once it's dry, you light it up off of the tip of another cigarette so that it doesn't blow up. And then you're good for a while — my friend and I once drove all night, over 800 miles, going nowhere.
Man, I think of these days and I feel like they're far enough of a memory to feel surreal, but still close enough where I can taste the appeal of the drugs. Anyways, these days, I do the best I can. I'm ambivalent about other people. I hate them but I also know I want to be a part of them. I work now, so that helps. I started volunteering at a drop-in center and then eventually they hired me full time. It's a clean, state-funded, safe space that promotes recovery in a state where the addiction rate is over 25 percent. It's wild. People in these parts are into what's called "Hillbilly Heroin" — they crush up and melt oxycontin and shoot it up. Seeing what it does to others is enough, most days, to keep me clean. Other days, I have to try a little bit harder.

There are a multitude of action games for your child to play. If they are between the age of 3 to 5 here are some suggestions in the order or popularity. They are Hot Dog Bush, Greedy's Bakery, Sling Shot Santa or Wonderball. Each of these games is very different, but all take eye and hand coordination.
Hot Dog Bush is the favorite game of choice and is the easiest. With this game the object is to make as many hotdogs and serve them to your waiting customers as you possibly can. You must wait until a customer is asking for a hotdog, the customer doesn't speak of course, you just see a picture of what all they want on their hotdogs. You get the bun, place it on the counter, cook the wiener and place it in the bun. If the customer wants ketchup or any other condiment, you place that on the hotdog and give to the customer. The customer then pays you and more customers will come up. If you do not put your money in the cash register, then no more customers will approach the hotdog stand. You are required to make so much money per day. If you meet the quota, then you have won the day!
Greedy's Bakery is based on the Smurfs! It is an adorable game of catch the food with all the graphics that the old Smurf cartoons had in them. Greedy is trying to catch all of the food that two other Smurfs are throwing to him. To help Greedy catch the food, you must move Greedy with the arrow keys. You lose a life each time that Greedy misses the food. You win a life when Greedy catches the food. As soon as the food hits Greedy's plate, it disappears and the score goes up! You only have four lives. This game does not last long, so a child with a short attention span will enjoy this game.
Sling Shot Santa is a more difficult game. There are two elves that are pushing a slingshot on the snow. Using the arrow keys to push Santa, they speed up as long as you are pressing the keys. If you want to sling shot Santa, then you must press the space bar key. Santa will either do one of three things. If you have chosen to sling shot him at the right time, he will be shot over the ravine. If you fall short of the mark, or if you do not get going fast enough, then poor Santa lands on the ice face first! If you get to going too fast and are too close to the ravine, then Santa and the elves fall through to the hard ground below. This game takes more thinking skill than younger kids have. Trying to get Santa over the ravine was even hard for me (and I am an adult). Sometimes I think you just get lucky and Santa flies over! You don't actually see Santa hit the ground – that was the saving grace of this game.
Wonderball is another game for children with short attention spans. Again using your arrow keys and your space bar, a small robot tries to throw a ball up at some bricks to knock them out. A little on the destructive side, but it is cute when the ball bounces back, hits the ground and then is able to knock some more bricks out! A fast paced game which also requires hand and eye coordination!

Although many anti-tank gun pillboxes (Type 28 and 28a) were constructed throughout the country on either the GHQ Line or various Corps Stop Lines, how many actually had guns mounted in them is another matter. Certainly work on the GHQ Stop Line was halted before many (if any at all) were actually installed. On the Corps Lines in was another matter - certainly in Suffolk the defences on the Eastern Command Line were being maintained until 1941 at least (although again, given the shortage of anti-tank guns during the period 1940-41 most would have been installed for Coastal Defence rather than interior Stop Lines). However at Ballingham Bridge, Sudbury a six pounder gun was installed in a Type 28 pillbox according to documents at TNA. Today this pillbox still exists. It would appear to be a variant of the standard design in that it has a non standard arrangement of embrasures for Bren guns / rifles. It also has a porch entrance.Whether it was built to a standard Type 28 design and then modified when allocated a six pounder gun, I don't know. Most likely, it was constructed specifically to fit in with the location. The holdfast for the six pounder can still be seen. Just to the rear of the pillbox another building can be seen, which appears to be a typical Home Guard store.

Spotify released its official "Song of the Summer" list this week, and and it's filled with tracks you've probably had stuck in your head over the past three sweltering months — whether you wanted them there or not.
Top of the pops was "In My Feelings" by Drake. In fact, Drake took up FIVE spots in the Top 20 Global Songs of Summer 2018, joined by Maroon 5's "Girls Like You," "Better Now" by Post Malone, Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams," Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa's "One Kiss," and Cardi B's "I Like It," which was also named 2018 Song of the Summer at MTV's 2018 Video Music Awards last week.
Those are the most streamed songs of the past few months, but what about all the other tracks filling the summer airwaves? With Labor Day fast approaching, we've put together a list of the hits we think deserve to be crowned Song of Summer 2018.
1. Ella Mai, "Boo'd Up"
This 23-year-old Londoner became the first U.K. artist this summer to top the U.S. R&B chart since Lisa Stansfield's "All Woman" way back in 1992. It easy to see why: the swoony, retro R&B beat of this track adds up to four minutes of feelgood vibes, making it a perfect summer song.
2. Confidence Man, "Fascination"
Nothing gives us a confidence boost like the sun's rays, so album Confident Music for Confident People dropped just in time in April. This track manages to combine Madchester swagger with the electro-punk abandon of early LCD Soundsystem and the genre-bending weirdness of Beck.
3. Kacey Musgraves, "High Horse"
The country elements are all there in this song from Texan native Kacey: background acoustic strings, the light glide guitar solo and even a banjo and a reference to John Wayne. Add a funky, Nile Rodgers-esque guitar and popping bass, and you've got a no-nonsense, disco crossover banger before you can even say the words "Taylor Swift."
4. Childish Gambino, "Summertime Magic"
The Artist Also Known as Donald Glover — a.k.a. the genius behind Atlanta and the young Lando Calrissian in Solo — raised eyebrows when his "This is America" video launched in May. Brutal, angry and unforgiving, it addressed mass shootings and the reality of being African-American in 2018. This track, surprise released in July on the Summer Pack EP, is a little more laidback.
5. Cher, "Fernando"
If you weren't humming ABBA at some point, can you even be sure you lived through summer 2018? Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again stormed theaters in July, reviving the Swedish supergroup's back catalogue for millions of movie goers. To be fair, if our Spotify is anything to go by, then this entire top 10 would be ABBA songs — but we've managed to contain ourselves. Besides, it's less than a month before Cher releases a whole album of covers.
6. Chaka Khan, "Like Sugar"
Cher wasn't the only diva making a comeback in 2018. Queen of Funk Chaka Khan returned with this track, her first single in a decade, as she gears up to release her first studio album since 2007's Funk This. It's all there: a funky bassline, classic dance beat and infectious chorus. A simple reminder that a great summer song makes you want to get up on your feet.
7. Robyn, "Missing U"
Nobody mixes heartbreak with synth sounds like Robyn does, as anyone who's heard her sublime 2005 hit "With Every Heartbeat" knows. Her first single in eight years was well worth the wait: the bittersweet beat hits just the right note until her long-awaited new album drops later this year.
8. Christine and the Queens, "Girlfriend"
New album CHRIS is due out in September, and if this track and "Doesn't Matter" are anything to go by, it's going to be every bit as good as Héloïse Letissier's 2015 debut.
9. Janelle Monae, "Make Me Feel"
Is there anything Janelle Monae can't do? She can act in a Best Picture Oscar-winning film (Moonlight). She can be the Afrofuturist funk pop star we didn't even know we needed. And she can make elastic electro '80s R&B like "Make Me Feel"— a track that manages to out-Prince Prince.
10. MGMT, "Me and Michael"
This shimmering ode to friendship has all the ingredients of a dusky summer jam: nostalgia, an airy but catchy melody, and a hint of sadness. Originally titled "Me and My Girl," the band changed the name of the track last minute to make it less "boring."

The Americans had taken Cherbourg.
After three weeks of backbreaking work and soul-testing battle, the first major objective of the Allied invasion had been won. An open wound had been gashed in the body of the German military system. At least 20 enemy divisions were involved in the Normandy fighting. That in itself was proof positive that Normandy was no longer a beachhead: it was a front.
In Cherbourg the Allies were taking over one of the best commercial seaports in Europe. Here they could bring heavy military supplies in ocean-going ships. Convoys...

I downloaded and ran a program yesterday (wasn't detected as a virus by McAfee) and it gave me some error about not having NET Framework 4.****** (can't remember what numbers it said after "4.") and opened a blank notepad window. Now, every time I log on, this blank notepad opens again (without any error messages) and the program isn't listed in the startup programs
Why has this happened and how can I stop this?
Check your startup items from
and the shell
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
make sure has the value explorer.exe nothing else. the user init points only to the user init.
Also research on other load points in the registry if the above are clean
nimby14, Check out the links below.
I fixed it by changing the "user init" value
Many thanks to both of you for your quick replies
Changing the user init values didn't work for long as I restarted my pc this morning and it was back
Upon closer inspection I see that this is not an ordinary notepad, it's set out differently with different colours:
If I go to its process in task manager, it comes up as "svchost.exe" and its description is "Notepad"
If I then click "open file location" on the "svchost.exe" it takes me to "C:\Users\(current username)\AppData\Roaming\WinDir" which has a single file in it, "svchost.exe" with a notepad icon for the application and its set as a protected system file.
I tried to upload it to virus total (it had already been uploaded) and it took me here:
In the comments box, 1 person says its malware whereas two people say its legitimate notepad.
So if it's not a virus, what is it, why is it in my temporary folder, why does it run on startup (with no registry entries for it anywhere), and how can I remove it?
Upon further research, I've found that this is malware :(
I followed the instructions here:
By killing the process in task manager, deleting it with file assassin and removing the startup entry with ccleaner; I seem to have gotten rid of it
On a side note, I did see the file in the registry when I followed bobmomon's instructions but seeing as it was called "svchost.exe" I thought it was a system process.
It also surprised me that a program can create a startup entry in the registry when run inside a standard account without any administrator/UAC permission...
Anyway, hopefully this will help anyone who experiences the same problem
nimby14, Glad to see that you were able to correct that problem and Thanks for posting back with the solution as it may help others who may run into the same problem

Cold Brew Coffee
Hey everyone! I recently received an Ellie's Best Nut Milk Bag from Tomoson.com to try out and share what I thought with all of you. All opinions on this product are my own. While I was trying to decide what to use it for first Alabama decided it was done with fall and has scheduled a week of temps in the high 80s. That pretty much means no more lazy afternoons with sweaters and pumpkin flavored coffee. It means ICED coffee! I've made cold brew coffee so many times and the hardest part has always been the straining. I've tried coffee filters, strainers and paper towels, and cheese cloth. The cheese cloth was the best option until this bag came into my life. It couldn't have made the process any easier!
First, get a large container with lid. It should hold about 2qts of water. Grab your bag of ground dark roast coffee and dump it in and then add about 10ish cups of water. Stir it up, pop the lid on, and let it sit for about 12 hours. I did this in the afternoon and let it sit over night so it definitely brewed longer than 12 hours.
After your coffee has plenty of time to sit all locked up in the container it's time to strain it all out. This is where the bag comes in. Plop that bad boy in a large pitcher. This one is 1 gallon. And ignore the Sweet Tea part. This is ALL COFFEE.
Next, dump your coffee into the bag. Preferably not while trying to take a picture. I spilled a bit…
Now, lift out your bag, put down your camera, and wring out the bag as well as you can to get all the liquid out.
After this step I dumped the coffee grounds in the trash, flipped the bag inside out and rinsed it well. Once it was rinsed I flipped it right again and put it in a smaller pitcher and poured it all through one more time. When you're totally done straining rinse the bag out well and let it dry.
This recipe made enough to fill a 2 quart pitcher. But please note…this is very concentrated! Perfect for me since I fill my glass with ice, half coffee, and half milk (and some stevia). If you just want the iced coffee without milk or any other girly additives then you might want to dilute it down with some cold water.
I made some for T with just ice and this coffee. He made the omg it's too strong the ice needs to melt face. I obviously forgot the point of this recipe was so *I* could add all my goodness for *me*. Oops.
My glass was much better. ICE, half milk, have coffee concentrate, 2 packs stevia. BOOM. You could add a tiny bit of flavored syrups too if you want to get crazy
So there you have it! Cold brew coffee using the Ellie's Best Nut Milk Bag. You can buy it HERE on Amazon and it's super cheap. So worth it.
**I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I've heard of cold brewed coffee but really knew nothing about it. I think it sounds like something I should give a try! I always hate it when I try to make iced coffee and it gets watered down from trying to cool it off with ice cubes. I especially love that you can reuse the bag, that's great!
It's a bit of a process but so good to have on hand once it's done!

University Academy blows out Trinity Episcopal, 62-36
PINEVILLE – University Academy of Cenla made an emphatic statement Friday night in picking up its first football win in school history.
The Lions (1-0) broke open a close game in the second half, routing defending MAIS Class A champion Trinity Episcopal 62-36 in the teams' season opener.
Junior Peyton Gauthier threw for 326 yards and five touchdowns, while the Lions' dynamic running duo of junior Dezmon Eddie and senior Zach Rhone combined for 237 rushing yards and 313 total yards in the victory.
University coach Vic Williams said he was pleased with the victory, but certainly not happy with the overall performance of his team.
"It feels good to start off the season with a win and beat the defending champions who put us out," Williams said. "That was very redeeming. We got a little redemption out of that. But there's a lot more negatives."
Friday night's game was one most of the Lions had been anticipating since last season, when Trinity Episcopal defeated Cenla Christian 48-8 in the semifinals of the playoffs. Cenla Christian shuttered after the past school year, and most of the team's members came to the new University Academy.
The Lions, who twice lost in Natchez, Mississippi, last season, looked right at home early at Louisiana College's Wildcat Field. After trading scores early, the Lions took a 32-18 lead when Rhone scored on a 13-yard run with less than 30 seconds left in the first half of a game that was marred by 27 penalties, saw players from both teams struggle with cramps in the stifling late-August heat and lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes.
"Overall, we were sloppy," Williams said. "It was a very, very sloppy win. We had (16) penalties, and it was extremely sloppy."
Williams said senior Logan Bryan was the Lions' defensive MVP, making three interceptions in his first game at free safety, and he also caught a 33-yard touchdown pass. At one point, due to cramps, the Lions were without all four of their starting defensive backs. Both Eddie and Rhone also missed major chunks of the game dealing with cramps.
"When you take the playmakers off the field, it definitely waters down the game a little bit," said Williams, adding it was "miserable on the field. It was humid, muggy, hard to breathe."
After a first half that featured 50 points, both teams went through a lull in the third quarter. Eddie's 68-yard touchdown run with 3:35 left in the third, which came after a Jon Kelly fumble recovery, was the only score in the third quarter and gave University a 40-18 lead.
"The bad part offensively was I had Dez and Zach both out at the same time, so we really had to lean hard on Logan Bryan and Jeremiah Jefferson. Jeremiah really had an excellent game offensively, and he really stepped up to the plate."
Jefferson finished with a game-high four receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns, a 56-yarder in the second quarter and a 60-yarder in the fourth. Gauthier, who completed six of his first seven passes but finished 11-of-21 passing, threw three touchdowns of 50 yards or more.
The Lions outgained Trinity 564 yards to 329, and the Saints (0-1) committed five turnovers. University fumbled three times, but didn't lose any of them, and Gauthier threw one interception. Still, the Lions were penalized 16 times for 138 yards and gave up 293 combined passing and rushing yards to Trinity sophomore quarterback Kevontaye Gaston.
Williams said the Lions must "get in better game shape" and cut down on their mistakes moving forward, but he's hopeful that "our worst is behind us." Despite knocking off the defending champion and gaining some revenge from the 40-point, season-ending defeat from last season, Williams said the Lions were calm and collected after the win.
"They understood that they just won a ball game," Williams said. "We're 1-0. We knocked off the No. 3 team in MAIS, but they're not satisfied with their level of play. I hold my kids to a higher standard, and they didn't reach it. Zach Rhone and Dezmon said we gotta go to work Monday."

Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana repeatedly parried with lawyers in a trial that has become a grim commemoration of Hurricane Katrina.
ST. FRANCISVILLE, La., Aug. 28 — Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco was summoned to a courtroom on Tuesday to testify in a homicide case over Hurricane Katrina's single biggest loss of life, and she refused to take blame for the deaths of 35 patients who drowned at a nursing home.
Ms. Blanco repeatedly parried lawyers for the two accused owners of the nursing home, St. Rita's, in a trial that has become a grim commemoration of the storm that struck exactly two years ago.
Ms. Blanco was called as the owners, Salvador and Mabel Mangano, face charges of negligent homicide in the deaths of 35 enfeebled residents of St. Rita's in St. Bernard. It was a moment that replayed some of the darker resentments that have swirled around Ms. Blanco since the storm.
The governor, though often on the defensive, was having none of it.
She was aided by protective prosecutors. They say the Manganos are culpable for failing to remove patients as three other nursing homes in their parish did, and warnings of all sorts abounded. Prosecutors suggested that financial concerns had a role in their decision.
The owners' vigorous defense has sought to shift responsibility to officials at all levels, federal authorities for faulty levees and state and local officials for failing to issue the clear-cut mandatory evacuation order that would have given the Manganos no choice.
The largest target in that strategy was Ms. Blanco. Rock-bottom in public opinion polls partly because of her handling of the hurricane disaster effort, the governor, a Democrat, announced months ago that she would not seek re-election this year.
The lawyers made little secret of the hope that an unpopular official might shoulder blame. Ms. Blanco made strenuous efforts to stay out of court. In the end, state appeals courts offered her no shelter, and she was forced to account for her actions in the hours before the storm hit.
"You, Governor, never issued an order of mandatory evacuation," a lawyer for the Manganos, John Reed, said.
Suggesting, as she did all morning, that local officials were properly at the forefront, Ms. Blanco responded, "I did not issue that order, because all of the local governments were deeply engaged in getting people out and helping them to evacuate." Through a morning of questioning that was at times hectoring, Ms. Blanco remained calm. The lawyers grew heated. She never sought to turn the tables or take a leading role.
She acknowledged at the beginning of her testimony that she was nervous, and her conduct did not dispel that characterization, recalling her moments of public unease in the hurricane crisis.
"Did you have the authority to order a mandatory evacuation at 9 o'clock on Saturday?" some 30 hours before the storm hit, another lawyer, James Cobb, asked.
"It's not exactly — the procedures that behave that way," Ms. Blanco said. ''The governor allows local officials to do that, because local citizens follow local officials."
The testimony hardly seemed a clear victory for either side. The prosecutors had called Ms. Blanco pre-emptively, knowing that the defense was planning to do so.
The trial, in its third week, has featured much of the prosecution's case, with testimony from tearful relatives about last moments of contact and evidence of the meager evacuation plan at the nursing home, one nine-passenger van for the 100-bed center.
The Manganos are the only people facing criminal charges arising from deaths in Hurricane Katrina.
The prosecutors have set the Manganos' decision to ride out the hurricane against the uncomplicated judgments of three operators of other nursing homes in St. Bernard Parish, just east of New Orleans. The three chose to evacuate and saved virtually all their residents.
In the Manganos' case, bedridden patients died as a sudden wall of water engulfed St. Rita's nearly to the roof in about 20 minutes. Many of the several dozen survivors did so only because their mattresses were encased in plastic, and they floated to the surface.
The defense asked why the state transportation secretary, Johnny B. Bradberry, having taken charge of evacuating nursing homes in theory in a state emergency plan, had failed to do so.
"He was very annoyed with himself that this new duty hadn't fully focused," Ms. Blanco said.
The governor said the effects of any plans, new or old in the face of a sudden overwhelming crisis that erupted rapidly, were tenuous.
"Everybody," she said, "was scrambling to make sense out of a situation that had nothing sensible about it."

The Association office has received a number of calls regarding door to door solicitors in Muirfield. Muirfield Association does not have a policy regarding solicitations because the City of Dublin has a very specific one. The City of Dublin Planning Department has provided the following information regarding solicitors:
To solicit door to door in the City of Dublin, a permit is required.
If anyone comes to a resident's door and they do not have a badge, the resident should call the non-emergency police department number at 614-889-1112.
If an approved solicitor is rude, pushy, or otherwise a nuisance, call Greg Jones at 614-410-4647.
If a resident invites a solicitor to come to their property, no solicitor's permit is required.
No permit is required to place flyers or other marketing materials in the wooden mail slot area located under the mailbox. (The USPS does not permit anything to be put into the mailbox itself other than mail.) However, a solicitor's permit is required to take those same materials onto the property, such as putting flyers on doors or porches.
Additionally, from the City's webpage:
If you are approached by a solicitor:
City of Dublin "No Peddlers or Solicitors" green or clear door clings are available. Residents can pick up clings at 5800 Shier Rings Road. Residents are permitted to display these clings or other "No Soliciting" signs on their front doors. (Signs are not permitted in the yard or on mailboxes). Solicitors with a valid permit are required to obey "No Soliciting" clings.
As a reminder, even if a solicitor has a permit, all changes to the exterior of the property must be approved by the Muirfield Design Control Committee before any work begins. If a contractor or company states that their products or services have been approved by Muirfield, this is not true. Nothing is pre-approved. Everything must be reviewed and approved in writing by the Design Control Committee.
For more information from the City of Dublin regarding soliciting, read "No Peddlers/Solicitors" Policy.
Muirfield has over 29 miles of paved pathways that wind through beautiful areas of woods and open areas.
All residents are welcome and encouraged to take advantage of the pathways! Walkers, runners, children, pets, cyclists, and rollerbladers are all welcome in addition to strollers, wheelchairs, or persons using medical mobility aids. Bicycles and other self-powered devices are welcome, but motorized, electric, or battery driven vehicles of any type (with the exception of medical devices) are not permitted. Per Dublin city code, all pets must either be leased or under the direct control of the owner at all times and owners are responsible for cleaning up after pets.
For the safety and comfort of all users, please use common courtesy and be on the alert for others. Slower walkers, children, people with strollers and those using medical devices may not have time to respond quickly enough to those traveling faster than they are. If you are traveling faster than other users, please announce yourself when passing someone. This could prevent a collision that may injure both parties. Your fellow Muirfield pathway users will appreciate it!
Need to find your way? There are maps of the pathways available here.

Sitting in the back of his mum's Morris 1000 on the way to primary school Courtney would hum along with the Radio National AM theme and listen to events that always seemed a world away.
He fell through VCE at Camberwell High before using his gap year to drive a golf buggy around the Melbourne Zoo, delivering drinks and food to anyone that needed it (and getting paid for it).
Before the 10,000 odd people would wander through the gates Courtney could, sensibly, hoon around the zoo with only the animals to distract him.
During journalism and history studies at Monash Uni he found time to get a suit job on Collins Street, play cricket and work for a community radio station - the Student Youth Network (SYN).
From time to time there was space to hand in the odd essay.
There was no hesitation to go regional when the opportunity to work for ABC Local came up.
Courtney's produced the Southwest Mornings show with Steve Martin and now produces Statewide Drive Victoria with Kathy Bedford.

Recommended Reading: Bernstein's 'Charts for the Beach'By David Ashworth
The annual chart edition
"A picture is worth a thousand words," the adage goes. And Richard Bernstein Advisors seems to take this to heart, as the founder and chief investment officer, Richard Bernstein, who writes a monthly newsletter called Insights, dedicates one issue a year entirely to charts.
According to Bernstein, these charts are "five of our favorite charts that highlight what we think consensus is currently missing." Richard Bernstein Advisors focuses on top-down research. The firm sticks to its top-down approach whether it's style, size, or geography. Its focus is on corporate profits, whose trend can be seen from the graph below.
[marketrealist-chart id=1556388]
Top-down research is one of two research approaches. The other one is bottom-up research. In top-down research, the focus is on macro factors like economic and geopolitical environment and their impact on financial markets. On the other hand, bottom-up research focuses on companies rather than the macro environment. The underlying belief in this approach is that even in bad times for their sector or industry, strong companies will continue to do well.
Actively managed mutual funds (ASMMX) (IGEAX) mostly employ bottom-up research to select stocks unlike passively managed ETFs (IWF) (IWB) whose composition changes only with a rebalancing or reconstitution of the underlying index.
In this series
The August edition of the monthly Insights newsletter is the annual "Charts for the Beach" edition. In this year's publication, Richard Bernstein focuses on five things from fear about equities (SCHB) (RSP) (VUG) to the fallout of Brexit that markets are either not paying attention to or fearing unnecessarily.
The first chart compares the 1999–2000 market to the present market.

Netflix Unveils First Look at 'Anne of Green Gables' Reboot
Anne of Green Gables is one step closer to making her Netflix debut.

Over time, 13-year-old Anne transforms their lives and eventually the small town in which they live with her spirit, intellect and imagination.
Miranda de Pencier (Beginners) will executive produce under her Northwood Entertainment banner. Wally-Beckett, the series' showrunner, also will exec produce with Alison Owen (Saving Mr. Banks) and Debra Hayward (Bridget Jones's Diary). Susan Murdoch will produce.

Should You Hire a Guide
Author: Peter Calker
Fishing Guides can frequently be worth having as long as you know just exactly what you are getting. For example, hiring a guide is no guarantee that you are going to catch a ton of trophy fish. The guide will take you to the places known to have fish, but catching them is still up to you.
If you dont know what you are doing, the guide can only help you so much. But, that said, if that's the case, a guide may be well worth it to you. Since you will be arriving at a place you have never been before, and you only have a few days to catch fish, a guide can really be a big help.
Without a guide, you could spend several days just trying to find out where the fish are. Also, keep in mind that most guides are great anglers themselves. They spend all spring and summer on the water and surely know what works and what doesnt.
Here are some things to discuss with any potential guide to give you a feel for whether or not you might want to hire him: –The type of fish you want to catch, -Whether you are looking to catch lots of fish, or just trophy sized fish, -What techniques & flies will the guide expect you to use?
This is what you will typically get when you hire a guide: -Expert advice on the best locations to fish, -Expert tips on how to best catch your fish, -A deftly prepared, delicious shore lunch.
But another option to consider is that you can hire a guide for just a day or two (be up front about this) and then use his (or her) advice on what to do the rest of your fishing trip.
This will save you some money and still get you that expert advice you are looking for. You can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per day plus a tip of around $25 per person. So, it simply becomes a matter of how much help a guide can be to you, and whether you are willing to pay for the service. There, now you can decide if you want to hire a fishing guide.

Preventing Chronic Disease is an online peer-reviewed journal published by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, a branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They recently recognized PhD student Ellen Kersten's research as outstanding and published her paper in this month's edition.
Ellen Kersten and colleagues' paper, Small Food Stores and Availability of Nutritious Foods: A Comparison of Database and In-Store Measures, Northern California, 2009, examined one of the fundamental tools used in the food environment research. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes is the standard used by federal statistical agencies in classifying businesses for statistical study related to the business economy. These codes are often used for food research and practice to classify food outlets, which can then assist researchers in measuring the availability of healthy foods.
There is an assumption that stores with similar NAICS codes offer similar products. After conducting a field investigation, Ellen and her colleagues discovered that the NAICS code for small grocery stores did not represent a homogenous set of stores. Food offerings varied substantially in the study sample, suggesting that the NAICS code may be inappropriate for epidemiologic studies. Other implications of the study include the importance of using data within context and ensuring that the basic measurements used in statistical studies are accurate.

Application of a Genetic Algorithm to Concept Variant Selection
This paper outlines a framework for applying a genetic algorithm to the selection of component variants between the conceptual and detailed design stages of product development. A genetic algorithm (GA) is defined for the problem and an example is presented that demonstrates its application and usefulness. Functional modeling techniques are used to formulate the design problem and generate the chromosomes that are evaluated with the algorithm. In the presented example, suitable GA parameters and the break-even point where the GA surpassed an enumerated search of the same solution space were found. Recommend uses of the GA along with limitations of the method and future work are presented as well.

The Women and the Thrones
Game of Thrones
Dreamsongs, Volume 1
A Song of Ice and Fire
A Game of Thrones
A Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords
A Feast for Crows
A Dance with Dragons
About halfway through A Clash of Kings, the second installment of George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, a refugee princess—she is fourteen years old but already a widow, has silver hair and purple eyes, and happens to be part dragon—stands exhausted before the walls of a fabulous, vaguely Babylonian citadel called Qarth. The last surviving scion of the deposed ruling family of a faraway land called Westeros, she has led a ragtag band of followers through the desert in the hopes of finding shelter here—and, ultimately, of obtaining military and financial support for her plan to recapture the Westerosi throne. Her first glimpse of Qarth leaves her bemused:
Three thick walls encircled Qarth, elaborately carved. The outer was red sandstone, thirty feet high and decorated with animals: snakes slithering, kites flying, fish swimming, intermingled with wolves of the red waste and striped zorses and monstrous elephants. The middle wall, forty feet high, was grey granite alive with scenes of war: the clash of sword and shield and spear, arrows in flight, heroes at battle and babes being butchered, pyres of the dead. The innermost wall was fifty feet of black marble, with carvings that made Dany blush until she told herself that she was being a fool. She was no maid; if she could look on the grey wall's scenes of slaughter, why should she avert her eyes from the sight of men and women giving pleasure to one another?
However difficult it may be for Daenerys ("Dany") Targaryen to make sense of the exotic city and its people, anyone familiar with Martin's slowly metastasizing epic—it began as a trilogy in 1996 and now runs to five volumes of a projected seven, each around a thousand pages long—will find it hard not to see in the Qartheen decor a sly reference to the series itself. What drives A Song of Ice and Fire is a war story: clearly inspired by the Wars of the Roses, the series traces the internecine power struggles among a group of aristocratic clans, each with its castle, lord, "sigil" or heraldic arms, and lineages, following the not entirely accidental death, in the first novel, of King Robert I of the Seven Kingdoms. Robert had seized the throne from Daenerys's father at the end of a previous civil war, thereby ending the Targaryens' three-century-long rule. The civil wars that follow Robert's death will stretch from Westeros—whose culturally diverse regions, evoked by Martin in ingenious detail, form the Seven Kingdoms—across the Narrow Sea to the exotic East, where Dany Targaryen, as we know, plans to make her own power play.
These bloody struggles take place in a world whose culture is, on the whole, familiar-looking—Martin gives the civilization of the Seven Kingdoms a strong medieval flavor—but whose flora and…

Moët & Chandon
MOËT & CHANDON is the world's largest champagne producers and the most prominent Champagne House. Founded in 1743, today it is part of luxury group LVMH and firmly stands as the market leader in virtually all countries where champagne can be found.
Moët & Chandon History
In 1446, Jean and Nicolas Moët were made nobles by King Charles VII. The Maison Moët was founded in 1743, by one of the descendants, Claude Moët, who had been a wine trader in Epernay since the early 18th century.
His grandson, Jean Rémy Moët transformed this trading company into one of the world's leading luxury brand. In 1832 when Jean-Rémy retired and left the company in the hands of his son Victor Moët and son-in-law Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles.
The name was officially changed that same year to Moët et Chandon.
Moët & Chandon House
Today it is the largest champagne house with 25 million bottles of champagne made up almost exclusively of Premiers Crus and Grands Crus grapes. The House is part of Louis Vuitton Moët-Hennessy (LVMH), the world's largest luxury group. The House holds a Royal Warrant to supply champagne to Elizabeth II of England.
Moët & Chandon Style
Meticulous attention to every step of the winemaking process and the richness of the vineyards used is key to Moët & Chandon style: out of 150 hectares of rich chalk soil, 50% are grands crus and 25% are premiers crus. Moët & Chandon create champagnes of quality and precision, that express the diversity and the complementarity of the three Champagne grapes, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
From vineyards in Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, Sézanne and Aube, we Moët & Chandon accesses approximately 200 of the 323 crus in the region, including a total of 17 grands crus and 32 of the 44 premiers crus. This wide-ranging diversity of fruits and vineyards ensures the optimum selection of grapes, enabling Moët & Chandon to maintain the constancy of its Moët Impérial Brut Multi-Vintage champagne and the originality of its Grand Vintage.
Located 10 to 30-meters under the chalky soil, Moët & Chandon's cellars are the largest within the Champagne region, spanning 28km (aprox 17.4 miles). Here still wines undergo their transformation into champagne in conditions where temperature and humidity levels are constant and unchanging.
Chef de Cave since 2005 is Benoît Gouez.
