Two newborns were cruelly put into plastic bags and then thrown into dumpsters this week by their own mothers. Both were miraculously discovered and are being treated in hospital.
Lesson: if you're walking near a dumpster and think you hear an infant crying–don't hesitate to investigate.
On Tuesday, in Calgary, Ontario, a 30-year-old man returning to his condo to check on his ailing 29-year-old girlfriend heard a passersby said, 'I think I hear a baby in the dumpster." He jumped into action, pulled out a bag of trash and uncovered a hypothermic newborn inside with an umbilical cord still attached.
Later on that evening he was told the child he had saved was HIS OWN, trashed approximately 2 hours after birth! The man, still unnamed, wants to raise the child.
His girlfriend (also unnamed) claims she was unaware of her pregnancy, and is scheduled for psychiatric assessment– facing charges of attempted murder, failing to provide the necessities of life and child abandonment.
Three days later, another newborn –weighing 7 lbs. 10 oz.– was rescued from the trash by a janitorial team working at an apartment complex in Emporia, Kansas. The child had been born merely 30 minutes prior to being thrown in a dumpster, and was rescued LUCKILY before the trash was collected that day.
Police have questioned the mother, 24-year-old Christine Devine and have taken her for medical attention. UPDATE, Oct.25: She was charged today with attempted intentional first-degree murder. According to court documents, she told police she had been raped and couldn't identify the baby's father. UPDATE, Nov. 5: more details UPDATE, Nov.17,2010: the trial is set for Jan, 2012.
Reports of this tragedy mention the existence of our Kansas 2007 safe haven law that was intended to prevent such tragedies.
Kansas enacted such a "newborn infant protection act" that allows infants up to 45 days old to be anonymously deposited at any fire department, medical facility or health department. Those who abandon the child are not charged with neglect and the SRS department takes custody of the child.
Ironically, Attorney General Six's website announced a stepped up effort to publicize this safe haven option just six weeks ago. No details were given on how greater awareness was to be achieved.

Senator Dean Heller (R-NV) says he wants a serious discussion about Medicare, thus seeking to justify his votes in favor of the Ryan Budget which turns Medicare into Coupon Care — because it's the only plan out there. [LVSun] Not. Quite. There are the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, which extend the life of the popular health insurance program for seniors, and there are suggestions that Medicare be able to negotiate with pharmaceutical corporations for lower prescription drug prices.
Senate candidate Shelley Berkley (D-NV1) responded.
"Berkley criticized the Ryan plan for use of government vouchers that would be used to purchase private insurance, saying bringing in for-profit companies would hurt consumers.
She advocated for better checks in the Medicare system for eliminating fraud and waste, allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with drug companies, and the re-importation of medicines to cut costs of the program." [LVSun]
And, then there's Medicaid. The Nevada budget draft calls for increases in education funding by $18 million and an increase in the Medicaid population estimated to require about $104 million. [NNB] Nevada can reasonably expect about 136,563 total new enrollees [Kaiser pdf] Those would be primarily low income individuals who are single parents with dependent children, and/or who are aged, blind, or disabled. [Kaiser pdf] This is precisely the group under assault in the Romney/Ryan budget which would transform the Medicaid funding into block grants.
Then what? Assuming the FY 2013 budget suggested by the Romney/Ryan Campaign, we can expect:
"Ryan's budget turns Medicaid into a block grant that cuts the program by $810 billion over the next decade. That is a 22% reduction to the Medicaid program from the block grant.
Ryan's budget repeals the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Medicaid expansion, cutting an additional $643 billion from Medicaid over the next decade.
In total, Ryan's budget cuts Medicaid by $1.5 trillion over the next decade, cutting the program by one-third.
By 2050, Ryan's budget cuts the Medicaid program by nearly three-quarters, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)." [DEC] (emphasis added)
So, while the number of individuals who need Medicaid may increase given current population trends, the Romney/Ryan plan would all but eliminate the program by 2050. Consider the impact of this on those who have elderly parents or relatives in nursing care facilities?
Representative Berkley's position:
"Shelley Berkley has fought to protect the Medicare program that hundreds of thousands of Nevadans rely on. Shelley Berkley has never voted to cut Medicare. The healthcare law ends taxpayer subsidies to private insurance companies and cuts out waste, fraud and abuse to save the Medicare program $716 billion. This attack is particularly hypocritical given that Heller himself voted to retain these so-called "cuts" when he voted for the Ryan budget. Heller said he was "proud" to be the only politician in Washington to vote twice to end Medicare as we know it by turning the program over to insurance companies, cut benefits and increase out-of-pocket costs by $6,000."
The Affordable Care Act, which Heller opposes, garnered Berkley's support for its improvements in basic policy coverage; its prescriptions against insurance corporation abuses of recessions, limited lifetime benefits (junk policies), and its extension of more eligible individuals in the Medicaid program.
So, if a person's family includes an eligible low income elderly or disabled person in need of health care services — the intelligent choice is Rep. Shelley Berkley.

|Où sont les petits déjeuners d'antan?
But four years ago, I made a major change to my eating regimen, and carby breakfasts mostly became a thing of the past. Sure, I'll still indulge in the occasional pancake or waffle, but the regular consumption of cereals is something I have, albeit reluctantly, had to leave behind.
On those mornings when I dine at home - I am a frequent breakfaster with the Minyan Boyz - I find myself making myself a two-egg omelette more often than not. An omelette is packed with protein and does not have to be a calorie bomb if properly made. With just enough breadstuff served alongside it to balance the protein, it is the ideal morning repast.
Some days, I use a bit of ghee - clarified butter - to line my skillet, and I add to the eggs fresh herbs and/or some grated cheese: Cabot clothbound cheddar, asiago, or Parmesan. Other times, I go the Japanese route, adding soy and hanakatsuo (shaved bonito), with a final dusting of powdered seaweed and nanami togarashi. But on days when I want something with a bit more zing, it's time for Elisson's Spicy Hot Indo-Sichuan Eggs.
Spicy Hot Indo-Sichuan Eggs.
I start with my homemade Chinese hot oil (hong you), infused with star anise, garlic, black cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and a small mountain of árbol chiles. One teaspoon goes in with the eggs and another to slick the pan. When the eggs have set enough, I'll flip 'em to cook the top side just until set, then flip 'em back over and trowel on a couple teaspoons of sambal udang bercili, a fiery Indonesian condiment packed with hot chiles and tiny, crispy dried shrimp. (Well, I never said this was kosher.) Fold it over, slide it out onto a plate, decorate with some chopped cilantro, and - Bukittinggi's your uncle - you've got a breakfast that will warm you going in, going down, and - quite possibly - going out. It's a real wake-up call on a plate.
Damn, it's tasty. Try some... if you dare!

95th birthday tribute to Anna Halprin, postmodern dance pioneer
Fifteen years ago, choreographer Anna Halprin opened the door to her mountainside home in Kentfield, buck naked. "Just a moment!" she said impishly to a startled reporter, and slipped on a kimono.
Of course, she quickly qualifies, a lot happens in that 10 seconds, a transformation of awareness that had profound implications for 20th century art. Before Halprin, American dance was cast in Graham's regal mold, presented formally onstage, and performed by highly trained bodies that acted out the choreographer's vision in a rarefied movement language. Halprin's rebellion was to declare that any movement, performed with presence and intention, could be a dance, and anybody could be a dancer.
"She really was the genesis of so much postmodern dance," says her biographer, Stanford Professor Janice Ross — though for many decades, the dance establishment in New York, a powerful world that tends to cast developments outside its sphere as "provincial," discounted her place in dance history.
That has changed. This summer, to mark Halprin's 95th birthday, fans and followers will host hundreds of events in 15 countries. Documentaries on Halprin will screen in Colombia and South Korea, and her works will be restaged in France and Israel. People in 46 nations, and in the Bay Area on Mount Tamalpais, will participate in her Planetary Dance on June 7. Tamalpa Institute, the training program based in Halprin's home studio, will hold a benefit tribute to its founder on July 12, the day before her birthday.
Among luminaries
Even the New York establishment that has so long ignored Halprin is paying its respects. Last fall, avant-garde choreographer Stephen Petronio announced that his "Bloodlines" project, which traces the lineage of 20th century experimental dance, will include works by textbook luminaries Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham — and Anna Halprin.
It's a remarkable resurgence for an artist who, raised by Russian immigrant Jews in the Chicago suburbs of Wilmette and Winnetka, made a life of art secluded in the woods with her husband, the influential landscape architect Lawrence Halprin.
She was raised as Ann Schuman. Only after surviving colon cancer, in her 50s, would she change her name to Anna, which she felt was closer to her Jewish birth name, Hannah.
But her Jewish roots had long ago provided inspiration for her dancing.
"Every Saturday, I would go to visit my grandfather, who would be praying at shul," she says. "He would jump up and down and throw his arms in the air as if he were possessed by some higher spirit. Because he had long white hair and a beard, I thought he looked like God, and that God was a dancer."
Halprin's mother, Ida, put her in ballet classes at age 4, but at first the girl's irrepressibly comic qualities won her more laughter than applause. Her mother enrolled her in free-form classes inspired by the Grecian-esque frolicking of Isadora Duncan instead. At that time, modern dance was a nascent and obscure art, with Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey vying as prime matriarchs. Halprin traveled to Chicago to take a class with Humphrey, and studied regularly with Humphrey disciples, choreographing her first dances while still in high school. Her performance in the school talent show flopped, but Humphrey had already noticed her and asked Halprin to join her company in New York.
Halprin turned down that offer and attended the University of Wisconsin, which connected her with radical professor Margaret H'Doubler, who believed in dance as a method of deep intellectual and emotional investigation.
At Wisconsin, she caught the eye of Lawrence Halprin, who would become known for the Modernist integration of man and nature exemplified by projects like Sea Ranch. They married in 1940 and settled near Mount Tamalpais after he was discharged from the Navy.
At first, Halprin tried to maintain ties to the New York scene, while her husband was serving in World War II. But she was beginning to reground her dance vocabulary in human anatomy. To this day, she uses a model skeleton in her classes to demonstrate how, if you relinquish muscular habits and move from the skeletal structure, you open up a new range of motion — her favorite example being Michael Jackson's pelvic thrust.
She was also beginning a family: Daria was born in 1948 and Rana in 1951. Halprin found the innocence of children inspiring — they took her back to basic, uncontrived movement, and they were eager to improvise. Later, she would become the first avant-garde dance artist to use children in performance, with both daughters appearing in her work, often nude, because Halprin needed to bring them on tour to Europe.
The 'dance deck'
Then, in 1954, Lawrence Halprin completed her "dance deck," a major breakthrough. "When you reach up in a room, psychologically you go as far as the roof," Halprin says. "Outside, you go as far as the sky."
Graham herself came to see the dance deck that year. Cunningham, a Graham protege and a leader of second-generation modern dance, would visit in 1957 and confess to being perplexed by Halprin's attraction to dancing outside.
No matter; Halprin had, by that time, stopped seeking New York's approval.
Though the Beat scene in San Francisco was lively, contempt toward artists embracing what was seen as New Age West Coast culture over the coming decades would be great. Halprin's art, though, thrived on freedom. She centered her work on what the times and her own life presented. And she did so with a rigor that her detractors often failed to notice.
"I was always a little sad that the Bay Area never quite got credit for so many wonderful things that were happening," Halprin admits.
Her most notorious dance, 1965's "Parades and Changes," included a section in which the performers undressed and dressed, staying aware of their breathing and looking intensely at the audience; it nearly got her arrested for obscenity when her company performed it in New York in 1967.
After the Watts riots in Los Angeles, in 1968, she was invited to make a work with the African American community there; later, she would do similar work with AIDS patients.
Her dancing was reaching simultaneously inward and outward. In 1972, for a workshop exercise, Halprin made a drawing of a gray ball in her pelvis. Following instinct, she went to the doctor; the ball was a cancerous tumor in her colon. Halprin believes that she choreographed her recovery, creating a ritual that involved self-portraiture and the release of her anger in front of witnesses.
Cancer "was like enlightenment at gunpoint," she says. "My recovery inspired me to direct my dances toward healing." Working with daughter Daria, she transformed her Art Process into the Life/Art Process, and founded the Tamalpa Institute in 1978.
But she is adamant, even pounding the table, when she says, "What I do is not therapy. It's art. Calling it therapy limits what you're doing. I want to be able to change lives, but I want to make them better through art."
This is a delicate subject, as Daria, a therapist who studied with the creator of Gestalt therapy, interjects. Many students of the Tamalpa Institute, which Daria co-founded, are therapists who take Halprin's teachings back into their practice.
After founding the institute, Halprin did not perform for nearly two decades. The work she says she most hopes will prove her legacy, the Planetary Dance, was born during a community workshop 35 years ago. A serial killer was stalking Mount Tamalpais at the time, and the locals in the workshop told Halprin, "We want our mountain back." So she gathered everyone on the mountain to perform a simple score, with participants declaring "I run for —" before beginning the circular patterns.
It was not until 1994 that Halprin returned to the stage in a solo tribute to her grandfather that she repeated at an 80th birthday retrospective in 2000. The acclaim "reanimated her," biographer Ross says.
Halprin began collaborating with the New York butoh artists Eiko and Koma, and reached out to Bay Area performers like Shinichi Iova-Koga, who is now staging a series of "95 Rituals" in Halprin's honor, to culminate in performances July 7-11 at the Hyde Street Pier.
"She's constantly blurring the line between life and performance, and she's constantly a teacher," Iova-Koga says.
Channeling grief into art
Losing her most important collaborator, Lawrence, in 2009, "hasn't been easy, of course," she says. But she channeled her mourning into art, too, creating a trilogy of tributes that began with "Spirit of Place," staged in Stern Grove, which Lawrence Halprin designed, seven months before his death.
These days, a growing cadre of Halprin disciples are carrying on her methods. Tamalpa Institute's new ArtCorps program, for example, has sent graduates to tense communities in Texas, Argentina and India.
As her ability to motivate people continues to spread, Halprin looks content as ever to sit above her dance deck, below the pines that have sheltered her for more than 70 years.
"What do elders in other cultures do?" she says. "Teach the young, heal the sick, care for the land, hold the rituals, speak with the ancestors and maintain the family."

Teachers participating in the 21st century learning grant project in my district have been hard at work on designing four units using Understanding by Design. They have been working on these since an intensive 3 day training took place in June. Most have drafted the 4 units at this point, and we are now beginning the peer evaluation phase of our project, which will include feedback on the unit designs and for peer observations.
As teachers are beginning to share their units within their assigned peer groups, they are wondering how to best provide feedback to each other on one particular element that we requested, which is not specifically a part of the UbD process. That is to purposefully incorporate at least one of Colorado's 21st century skills into the design.
To help them with this task, I created the following checklist:
What is it you want students to know and be able to do?
___Stage 1: One or two 21st century skills are identified as learning goals under "skills acquisition"
Probably all of the 21st century skills will be practiced at some point in the unit– but this skill will be purposefully modeled, taught, and assessed.*
How will you know that they know it and can do it?
___ Stage 2: The performance assessment task provides ample opportunity for students to practice and demonstrate the skill(s) identified in stage 1.
___Formative assessments (checklists, conferencing, peer assessment, reflection, etc.) are used frequently during the unit for the identified 21st century skill(s)
___Students receive regular, timely, useful feedback via the formative assessments of the 21st century skill(s)
The Learning Plan
___Stage 3: The 21st century skill(s) identified in stage 1 are taught through modeling and/or direct instruction as appropriate
*Note: This is not necessarily about "grading." It is about creating opportunity to give students feedback on the 21st century skills so they can improve!
What are your thoughts? What else should be included in this checklist?

Our lives may depend on solving the mystery of the disappearance of bees. This phenomenon, known as colony collapse disorder (CCD), is documented in the film Vanishing of the Bees. The emergence of CCD has revealed a critical concern for the connective matrix that binds everything together. Bees pollinate the crops we eat and depend on; what happens if they disappear completely?
The film's producers, George Langworthy and Maryam Henein, join us to talk about their findings. Find out how you can get involved and be part of solving a problem that stands to impact all of our lives in the near future!

This post is sponsored by Pull-Ups. Please note all views and opinions are my own. As always we are very specific with the brands we partner with, we have used Pull-Ups when potty training our last two children and strongly agree with these 6 signs of potty training readiness.
For the last month we have been seeing signs that point to Evelyn being ready to start potty training. To say that I am excited wouldn't be the most truthful statement, because let's be honest, potty training isn't the easiest task. It is important to make use of resources provided and learn other mother's that have been through it before. I feel the most important thing, and what I really really want to make clear is that when you think your child is ready, don't hesitate. When is that? See below for 6 signs of potty training readiness.
Related: When & Why to Switch from Diapers to Pull-Ups
Just about two years ago now I wrote out a bunch of tips of "what not to do" when potty training. I wanted to have a reminder for myself of all the things I felt like I could have done better. The top of the list was to go with my intuition. If you think your child is ready, they most likely are ready. It's not a one day and done task, but know that no matter how long you wait, it doesn't make it easier on you or your child.
Keep an eye out as your child approaches the 18 month mark for these six signs to know when they are ready to start potty training. At about this age they can start showing signs at any time, so will be much later and that's ok too. Read through the six tips and keep them in mind for the upcoming months.
6 Signs of Potty Training Readiness
Pulling at a Wet or Dirty Diaper
A wet diaper is no longer being tolerated. You will notice that your child will make actions towards their discomfort and being tugging at their wet or dirty diaper. They also may be trying to take their diaper off on their own.
Hiding to Pee or Poop
This is easier to tell with poop as they are detected much easier than every time your child pees. When you notice that your child has pooped think about whether or not your child made actions to position themselves away from you, went behind furniture or left the room. This is a huge indicator that they are ready as they have full knowledge that they are about to go and are preplanning.
Interest in Others' Use of the Potty
Does your child have a general interest in the toilet? You might notice your behaviour or their sibling's behaviour being copied by your child.
Having a Dry Diaper for Longer Than Usual
Your child is able to control their bladder more and is likely controlling when they are wetting their diaper. Another sure sign they are aware of when it's "time to go."
Awakening Dry From a Nap
It is common that parents will potty train in the day and then wait to train during nap and night time. When you notice that your child is dry after waking up, bring them to the bathroom and set them on the toilet or their little potty first thing.
Telling You They Have to Go, are Going or Just Went in Their Diaper.
You child verbally talking to you about going to the bathroom is a huge indicator. Continue to have conversation with them, bring them to the toilet and if it is during or after, remind them to let you know before they start going so you can help them use the bathroom.
For us, our almost 18-month-old has already used the toilet a number of times. This is much different than the last two potty training experiences with her older siblings, and that's to be expected. Each child is so different and the queues that they share will also be different. Take the signs of readiness quiz on Pullups.ca which also let's you know if your child is showing signs that it's time to start potty training.
One really important note, remember you are going to have to constantly remind your child to keep their hands, toes and heads out of the potty. You can see we are still working on all three of those things.
Get Prepared to learn When to Start Potty Training
One of the most important things to remember is to stay committed. Some days are most likely going to be harder than others, don't let them get you down. The best way to stay committed and on track is to be the most prepared before you start.
- Purchase a small potty or child toilet seat for your own toilet. You want to make sure your child is as comfortable as possible. Seeing their sized toilet around may have them interested to start potty training early.
- Be consistent. Have certain times of the day when you consistently put your child on their toilet. (First thing in the morning, before nap, after nap, etc.)
- Congratulate your child, this could be a small reward after they use the toilet or something simple like a cheer and hug.
- Change from using a diaper to Pull-Ups. This will be exciting for your child and a sign for them that things are changing. With the easy open sides it makes it easy for parents to get your child onto the toilet in a hurry or for quick and easy clean-ups if accidents happen.
- Remember it doesn't happen overnight. This is a continual process and doesn't happen without repetition. Be patient and once you start, don't look back.
With the New Year here, make potty training a goal to accomplish is 2018. Go to the Pull-Ups website for more helpful tips, potty training games and tools to get you started and keep you and your child motivated. You got this!

Senator Needleman Joins Senate Democrat Coalition to Discuss 2019 Session Victories
HARTFORD, CT – This week, State Senator Norm Needleman (D-Essex) joined a coalition of Senate Democrats as they discussed the successes they experienced during the 2019 legislative session, which ended June 5 of this year. Sen. Needleman, Chairman of the Energy and Technology Committee, spoke on the importance of new energy legislation primed to increase generation of green energy and spur economic growth.
"As far as my committee goes, our work was taxing and stressful but the end result was a great jobs bill," said Sen. Needleman. "It creates a new green industry for Connecticut we've never had, will work to revitalize southeastern Connecticut and will replace much of the energy currently generated by Millstone when that power plant ends generation. We also passed a bill for 5G internet that will place high speed internet on state properties and our green economy bill fixes problems like net metering. Our committee worked in a bipartisan, bicameral manner, working together to find solutions. I want to thank Representative Dave Arconti for his leadership as well as Senator Paul Formica and Representative Charles Ferraro. The proof is in the pudding; we did a great job for the state of Connecticut. We're taking care of those most in need, making sure workers are treated fairly, and creating opportunities for the future."
Sen. Needleman joined Senate President Martin Looney (D-New Haven), Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk), Senator Christine Cohen (D-Guilford), Senator Julie Kushner (D-Danbury), Senator Cathy Osten (D-Sprague) and Senator Saud Anwar (D-South Windsor) Monday in the Legislative Office Building to discuss important legislative priorities the Senate achieved during the six-month legislative session. Victories discussed Monday included:
- The landmark achievement of implementing a Paid Family and Medical Leave program for Connecticut workers
- A five-tier increase of the minimum wage from $10.10 today to $15 in 2023
- Ethan's Law, which will protect minors and improve gun safety
- Up to three years of debt-free community college courses for high school graduates
- Increasing the age of access for tobacco products from 18 to 21
- Health insurance protections prohibiting consumer-unfriendly billing practices

"My company had a 20% growth rate since working with Jennifer. I've cut down my hours from 100 to 60 hours a week. She taught me how stand up for myself, how to deal with difficult people and establish clear rules of engagement." P. Kirby, CEO, Austin Trail Running Company, Texas
"I have now signed a contract with a new, quickly growing and highly successful firm. Me pushing myself, learning new things and succeeding at job interviews are largely your doing - and all of the tips you've given me will stay for the rest of my career - so thank you for being such a great coach and a kind, good-hearted person." Marta Lindner, Director Head of Client Services, London, U.K.

"I knew Jennifer had a great reputation for getting results. Not only did she teach me negotiation skills, mindset, and interview tactics, that I used to get multiple job offers, but the skills she taught me, continue to be valuable in other areas of life too!"

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their physical or mental disabilities. The determination of what constitutes a physical or mental disability is made on a case by case basis, but the governing standard is any impairment that substantially limits a major life activity such as such as hearing, seeing, speaking, thinking, walking, breathing, or performing manual tasks. A Monmouth County business lawyer can help you comply with ADA requirements.
Some of the more common categories the law covers include:
- Serious illnesses like cancer, multiple sclerosis or HIV
- Short-term physical impairments like a broken leg or ankle
- Long-term conditions that affect mobility like the use of a wheelchair or other mobility device
- Mental and emotional disabilities such as anxiety, eating disorders or depression
- Pregnancy
The ADA requires business owners to refrain from discriminating against people with these impairments in all employment matters including, but not limited to, job application procedures, hiring and termination, promotion and training, salary and benefits, and leave.
It applies to recruitment, advertising, tenure, layoff, leave, fringe benefits and all other employment-related activities. The ADA applies to any private business with more than 15 employees, and all labor unions and employment agencies. It is important for these businesses to make sure their HR departments and hiring practices are in line with these requirements.
In addition to the employment requirements, the ADA requires employers to supply "reasonable accommodations" to disabled applicants and employees. There is no master list of reasonable accommodations, but they generally include any change or adjustment to a job or work environment allows the disabled person to apply or perform the job functions. This can include physical changes to the workspace, like installing ramps or expanding the restroom stalls, the provision of sign language interpreters, or offering training materials in accessible formats like audio files or Braille, and the use of TTY telephones for the hearing impaired.
Failure to provide a reasonable accommodation can make employers liable and subject to employment litigation, although there is special consideration if the accommodations would cause the business undue hardship.
Contacting a Monmouth County business attorney can help make sure that your employment policies are in line with the ADA and applicable New Jersey laws as well as avoid employment lawsuits based on disability discrimination.

FIKA it's a small coffee break. A moment during the day, for which it is worth stopping for a moment. It's time for yourself, for friends. A moment of breath, time for a bit of true relaxation during busy day. I am very close to the Scandinavian philosophy of happiness "hygge", which focuses on enjoying joy and celebrating everyday pleasures.
An important role is played by all small items that are friendly, enjoy the eye and add space to the mood. My products are created with the user in mind and for the user. They are made of the highest quality materials, intended for contact with food, covered with non-toxic enamel.
My design is socially responsible. I consciously use materials and my products are environmentally friendly. My ceramics will revive any interior, like a morning espresso. All collections have been created for people who are demanding, who like peace and harmony. My products are handmade in small series. They complement each interior styling.
During a break at work, I like to sit in my comfortable chair, cover with my favorite blanket and drink coffee from my favorite mug. Then I'm relaxed and I feel that ideas come to my mind. I like to have exclusive things around me, then I feel really special. This is also my ceramics. My main task is not only to create in the comfort of my own studio, it is also meeting people, answering their needs and creating beautiful things together. I put my heart into every project and my hands follow what the mind tells you.

Online family history data is categorized as "intellectual property," that is intangible property. Intellectual property can be bought, sold, rented and of course, inherited. When a person dies in the United States, the property he or she owns instantly passes to a legal entity called the "estate." The subsequent ownership of the property is determined by the inheritance laws of the individual states in effect at the time of the death. Individuals can determine to some extent the disposition of their estate by creating documents such as wills and trusts. Each state also has court rules, in addition to the inheritance laws, that determine the procedures that need to be followed to dispose of the property.
Not all property has to pass through probate. If a person transfers ownership of the property before death, the property is not considered part of the "estate." This can be accomplished by either selling the property or transferring it to some sort of legal entity such as a trust or a company. Some people avoid this whole issue by having their company (corporation, LLC etc.) or a trust own all their property during their lifetime. Unfortunately many people do not consider all of the information they have online, including family history data, to be property and they neglect to transfer that type of property before death.
Online intellectual property (including genealogy files) create some practical as well legal issues. Most genealogy websites have logins and passwords. Many of these websites also have restrictions concerning revealing those passwords to anyone who is not the registered owner. It is a really good idea to keep a list of all of your passwords in a safe place with your other legal documents. Many people involved in the area of "estate planning" recommend keeping these valuable documents in a safety deposit box. Apparently those who make such a recommendation have never had the experience of trying to get access to a safety deposit box after a person has passed away. The dead person's legal representative may have to go to extraordinary lengths to get access to the safety deposit box because most financial institutions will lock up the safety deposit box until receiving a formal court order appointing an administrator or personal representative of the estate.
I believe that some types of valuable personal property are properly kept in a safe deposit box: network passwords and logins are just not that type of property.
The next important issue with intellectual property in an estate is the determination of whether or not it has any monetary value. This can be very hard to determine. It may be that the genealogy files contain information that is valuable to genealogists but the files may not have any commercial value. Another consideration is whether the heirs acquiesce to the wishes of the deceased. It is not uncommon for the heirs to disagree over the provisions of a will or trust. That disagreement may extend to a dispute over who "owns" the online genealogy files.
All of these considerations strongly indicate that if you are involved online to any extent, you need to make sure that there is some concrete provision made for the disposition of the online files in the event of your death. If necessary, it is a good idea to consult with an attorney or other competent advisor.

From the Fidelity website (3 days and counting):
- Facebook
Fidelity continues to deal with the aftermath of Friday's market issues in delayed processing of orders for Facebook (FB) stock. As they did then, Fidelity's systems continue to operate normally. Although some executions were reported back from market makers over the weekend, we are still waiting for final responses on other orders. This is an industry-wide issue and we are working aggressively to address it. We appreciate your continued patience.
What some had inexplicably hoped would be a catalyst to bring the retail investor back to the equity markets has added yet another reason to stay away. Apparently the largest allocations to Fidelity investors were 100 – 150 shares, the average I have heard being 50 shares. Participation was limited to accounts with a balance of at least $500,000 and had a certain level of activity. These requirements further narrowed the number of eligible buyers. Yet despite such limited participation, Fidelity's retail investors still don't know if they sold their stock, where they sold it or if they sold it. Now, with a balance of at least half a million, the hit should be small but the psychological impact wil be much larger. As these stories spread, investor confidence wil be further eroded. Of course, none of this is Fidelity's fault but rather NASDAQ. However, all will suffer in the aftermath and we see volumes continue to dry up even despite yesterday's rally.
So why was it ludicrous to believe that a successful FB IPO would bring back the retail investor? First of all, the deal was too hyped, too richly valued and too big to succeed in spectacular fashion. But even if it did, the news on other fronts, in particular Europe, provides too much uncertainty. At most it would have been a respite from the realities. The best hope we have for the markets is shock and awe from Europe. I'm not counting on it.

Ex-TNA wrestler Ken Anderson was in line for a big push before he was fired from the company in January for failing a drug test … sources tell Pro Wrestling Sheet.
Our sources say that despite not being used much on Impact Wrestling in 2015, TNA's creative team were looking to give his character a new lease on life with a talk show segment.
The segment — called "Huh?" with Mr. Anderson — aired on January 12th and we're told producers planned to make it a reoccurring segment after they were happy with how it it turned out.
Ken Anderson also won the main event filmed for Impact's Jan. 19th episode — but as we previously reported, it was cut from the show after he was suspected of wrestling under the influence.
The wrestler failed a subsequent drug test and was released shortly after.

Jimmie Johnson going to backup car after spinning into grass
Jimmie Johnson will start Sunday's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup race in a backup car after he spun into the grass during practice Saturday at Michigan International Speedway.
The seven-time NASCAR Cup champion made a great save to keep his car off the outside wall after getting loose through Turn 4, but he slid down the track into the grass along the frontstretch, damaging the front of his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
Although crew members worked on the car and initially thought they could repair it, they decided to pull out the backup.
Jimmie Johnson's team takes the backup car off the hauler after it determined it could... https://t.co/LoVHbx2ooP pic.twitter.com/HGBiAQKLIo— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) June 17, 2017
Johnson, who qualified 13th, will start at the rear of the 37-car field in the FireKeepers Casino 400.
"I got loose into Turn 3 and fought it for a long time and unfortunately came around," Johnson told reporters (via NBC Sports). "Did a nice job of keeping it off the outside wall, but came back down the hill and into the grass and the front end dug in pretty good."

Dining On Time
If you take diabetes pills or insulin shots, it pays to think about when you'll eat as well as what you'll eat. You can avoid problems by planning ahead.
- If you're eating out with others, ask them to eat at your usual time.
- Make your plans so you won't be kept waiting for a table when you need to be eating.
- Have your reservations and be on time. Avoid the times when the restaurant is busiest so you won't have to wait.
- Ask whether "special" dishes will take extra time.
- If your lunch or dinner is going to be later than usual, eat a fruit or starch serving from that meal at your usual mealtime.
- If the dinner will be very late, you can eat your bedtime snack at your usual dinner time. Then, eat your full dinner at the later hour. You may need to adjust your insulin to do this.

What is hospice care?
Hospice is a special concept of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. Hospice care neither prolongs life nor hastens death. Hospice staff and volunteers offer a specialized knowledge of medical care, including pain and symptom management, as well as spiritual, emotional and bereavement care.
What is palliative care?
Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses and focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stresses of the illness – whatever the diagnosis. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.
What's the difference between palliative care and hospice care?
Palliative care relieves symptoms of a disease or disorder, whether or not it can be cured. Hospice is a specific type of palliative care for people who likely have 6 months or less to live. In other words, hospice care is always palliative, but not all palliative care is hospice care.
Who determines if a patient is eligible for hospice?
In order to receive hospice services, a physician must certify that the patient meets specific medical eligibility criteria, generally, the patient's life expectancy is 6 months or less if the illness runs its typical course. If the patient lives longer than six months but his condition continues to decline, he may be re-certified by a physician for additional time in hospice care. If a hospice patient's condition improves, he may be discharged from hospice care. The patient will be eligible for hospice again if his condition begins to decline.
Does hospice provide care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Hospice staff is on call for emergencies 24 hours a day, however hospice care does not include a nurse in the home 24/7. For individuals who require more care than can be provided in the home by family caregivers, our Sawtelle Family Hospice House offers an alternative. Hospice care may also be provided to patients who reside in nursing homes or assisted living centers.
How do I know Middlesex-East Visiting Nurse Hospice provides quality care?
Middlesex-East Visiting Nurse Hospice follows a rigorous performance improvement program that ensures we maintain the highest standard of care. We solicit feedback on family satisfaction surveys that are tracked and analyzed quarterly. Our hospice program is Medicare certified and licensed as a deficiency free agency by the Massachusetts Department of Health.

Revealing Stealth Applicants with Content MarketingPosted on November 03, 2014
You don't know Angela. She hasn't requested information. You haven't corresponded with her. But one day her application to your school arrives in your in-box, disrupting all of your notions about "the funnel" and traditional prospect management.
Most colleges and universities report that roughly one-third (and growing) of their applicants reveal themselves at the time of application, inhibiting your ability to build relationships and making it incredibly difficult for you to manage yield.
But what if you could get these "hidden suspects" to reveal themselves earlier? What if you could restore at least a portion of the broken funnel?
Content marketing, the "technique of creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and acquire a clearly defined audience," is proving to be a very effective way to get suspects to identify themselves and provides a foundation for building relationships well before application.
Here's how…
You begin by going back to your brand. What programs offer both strong proof of brand and strong potential for marketability? You then undertake to curate and distribute (via your website, social media, targeted search, PPC, earned media, etc.) program-relevant content. Over time, your search engine rankings for those programs should begin to show dramatic improvement, and the suspects you want to attract begin to find you.
Offer Value in Your Marketing
Once at your site (or landing page), you offer additional relevant content (an eBook, for example) in return for information on your suspect and for the permission to contact them with additional relevant content. This quid pro quo contract moves you quickly from "selling" to being a trusted source of important information… and puts your suspect squarely in the funnel for further nurturing.
Search No More
Content marketing can also improve the effectiveness of your traditional search process. By taking advantage of targeting programs, such as the College Board's College Descriptor, you can begin to offer relevant content from your first contact, increasing response rates and building stronger relationships earlier in the process.
To find out more about how an effective content marketing program can take the stealth out of your funnel, fill out the form below.

Pecanwood Golf Course is set on the shores of the Hartbeespoort Dam in the Magaliesberg.
Pecanwood Golf Course overlooks the vast blue expanse of Hartbeespoort Dam in the rolling hills of the Magaliesberg and maintains a rank of prestige as a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course. Within half an hour's drive of Pretoria and Johannesburg, the picturesque potpourri of sandy bunkers and lustrous fountains transports players to a world-class golfing destination. Dazzlingly green kikuyu fairways and Crenshaw Bent grass greens dress the manicured grounds.
Pecanwood boasts many additional facilities for leisure-seeking visitors, such as an in-house spa, a boat club and tennis academy. The course's picturesque location and championship-style play draws many enthusiastic callers, both locally and abroad. Upon its opening in 1998, it was voted the best new course of the year by Golf Digest magazine. Pecanwood Golf Course offers satisfying play for golf greenies and pro-swingers alike.
The Magaliesberg is home to an incredible diversity of bird species, and a round on Pecanwood will bring birding enthusiasts up close to a colorful chorus. Though essentially a flat course, the bunkers, high mounds and strategically placed water hazards will ensure that even the most seasoned golfers are still presented with challenging play. The striking water features, like the 12m high water fountain and inland lake on the third hole, contribute to a truly scenic game.

It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a matter of months I no longer work for the place I've been for the past 18 years. My husband got a new job and they keep changing his schedule. My nights, days and weekends are all a blur now.
I'm trying to get a handle on things and add some structure back to my life. I don't mind some chaos, but these last few months have really done a number on my mental state. The good part is that I have much more time to concentrate on my art. I was able to do a painting for my husband for Christmas that I've been wanting to do for quite a while now. He loves it! I'm pretty happy with it, too.
I'm really loosening up my style, and the orders for custom works are still coming in. I also launched my own website — which was WAY overdue. It still has a long way to go until I'm satisfied, but it's a step in the right direction.
Happy New Year! And please, if you like my work, share with friends and family, Like my Facebook page or follow me on Pinterest.

I write very regularly (less so now than before) for EzineArticles....this is how I market myself, to get people to market me for me by publishing my articles on THEIR websites and blogs. Free marketing, well, not so free but free.
And then per chance someone mentioned that they're proud to see my name on some list and that I was better than Chris M. Knight, one of the big guns in Ezinearticles itself! It's gotta mean something, right? But what list is THAT?
Anyway, I found out what list it was today and all I can say is that....well, WOW. I didn't know. And I had a huge lead too over No.2 smelling my exhaust fumes too. I wasn't given a chance to gloat, damnit!
Funny thing is that it's for topics like ATV (I HATE BIKES
, much less ATVs but I write the GUY STUFF for clients and stuff like that) too. Amazing. And I am No.1 on this list for THAT. Ironic.
Let me gloat a little by showing this picture.
See in this list, it was listed that I write very good geo-targerted articles under ATV trails. Ha. Ha.
I still don't know what it's for....well, some RSS feed thing, I think. But I'm too sleepy to try to find out now....maybe tomorrow.
Night all.
Oh, hang on. My ezinearticles page is here.

Dancing Revelers
Artist Euthymides
Date ca. 510-500 BCE
Movement Greek
Medium Red-figured amphora
Height 2'
Housed at Museum Antiker, Kleinkunst, Munich
By introducing the red-figure method, by which painters would fill in the background and leave the red of the vase to become their figures, artists during this time were able to add more life and animation to their works. Euthymides is able to portray motion even with his figure's back to the viewer, all by indicating one shoulder's raised height to the other by adding simple lines to the figure's back.

A copy of the Eevee Gijinka Hermsi designed for me~
These two commission were done sometime in the past 3 months… Glad the commissionee liked them =3 I'm also really happy when they send me pictures of them wearing it~ It's like having a fashion designer's designs on a runway~ lol!!
From here on out I'll be um… reducing the amount of commissions even more. Nothing that will suck up too much of my time because honestly… I will probably get more money from selling things at an artist alley table than commissions. The ones who get nice commissions from me are lucky >.> I charge less than I should at the moment xD
I'll be updating again soon~~ Classes start next week so I hope I can juggle everything!
All made by me~ Email for for a quote on commissions~

Emerging from a cloud of mist, Feira meandered down the flowering street lined with vendors. It was spring… or possibly summer? That hardly mattered, though. The warm day was accompanied by a cool sea breeze and soft tufts of clouds floated by overhead. Her freshly washed locks glowed in the sunlight, and her light, prancing steps encouraged the thin, flowy layers of her new pale, seafoam green dress to swim about her. Come to think of it, she couldn't recall exactly how she had gotten the dress that had adorned a mannequin in a shop window for months, but that was just another detail that flittered away as quickly as it came.
Shop owners waved to her as she passed through the crowd. Small talk was made with other maids who had the day off, and all commented on how fetching she looked without her grey apron and what a lovely day it was to see the war finally end. A brand new book with gilded lettering on the cover gave an accomplished weight to the basket hanging from her arm. Cheeses for Lalaith made their way into her basket, followed by the Lady Mredothyn's favorite fruits and the best flowers in the city for Lady Ciri's room. Torrin could tease her for spending so frivolously all he wanted, but some days were happy enough that there was nothing wrong with sparing no expense.
Lalaith had written that she'd be back on the morrow. It was all Feira could do to keep from asking for another day off so she could rent a horse to go and meet the young woman on the way. The war was over, and everyone was coming home. Everything was going to be right again. The Lord would be home soon, and the young woman was sure that it would not be long before the estate was overflowing with babies and dinner parties.
Weaving a path through the happy throngs, Feira made her way towards the docks. It surprised her how quickly she got there, for she turned the first corner and the buildings opened up to present a breathtaking, awe inspiring view of the massive harbor. Blue and white sails filled the air. The shouts of sailors and soldiers mingled with hundred of gulls gliding overhead, and the laughter of the citizens who filled every nook and cranny of the walkways.
"'bout time ya got here!" called a familiar voice from behind. Her heart leaping in her chest, Feira spun around.
Her heart stopped.
Taller and fitter than ever from months at sea, Lhainan stood just out of arm's reach, his captivating gaze fixed over her shoulder.
"A little waiting never hurt you," responded a young woman's voice, and Lalaith, dressed in one of her old silk gowns brushed past Feira to take the sailor's offered arm. No habit in sight, her friend's glistening blue-black hair tumbled down her back."You get me anything?" she purred.
"Course I did," Lhain replied, a coy smile curling his lips as he bend down to whisper into Lalaith's ear.
What was this? Shocked, words caught in Feira's throat when a second woman approached. "And what about me?" asked the lithe, olive skinned beauty that stole up to coil around the sailor's other side.
Eyes gleaming, Lhainan laughed. "I'd never forget about you, beautiful." Unable to move, Feira watched in horror as he reached out and, with little effort, ripped the gold locket from where it hung around her neck. Draping the arm around the young southern woman he let the delicate heart and chain tumble over the woman's shoulder to disappear beneath her low neckline. The trio laughed and turned to vanish down the docks, suggestions about a long boat ride getting lost in the haze that filled Feira's head.
The brilliant sun above her dimmed, though no one seemed to notice. A grey form rose up from where the southern woman, Lhain and Lalaith had disappeared, and as the world closed in around her Aunt Raewiel glared down at Feira with a wicked, triumphant sneer.
This wasn't real. It wasn't! Valar… Emeleth… But no, no one could hear her. Nobody would. Trapped and with nowhere to run, the flowers in her basket withered, the fruits shrunk and turned sour, and the pages of her book crumpled into ash. She couldn't breathe, she couldn't speak, and the only movement Feira could manage was the trembling that slowly took over her limbs.
Wake up….
Wake up….

Deployment Groups and Build completion trigger – VSTS Sprint 132 Update
The Sprint 132 Update of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) brings a few key features to help you scale your build and release pipeline. In Build, use the new build completion trigger to chain together related builds that may be owned by different teams. Over in Release, we are announcing the general availability of Deployment Groups, which you can use to scale deployments across multiple virtual machines with high availability, including production environments.
Other highlights include:
- Integrate Power BI with VSTS Analytics using views
- Publish markdown files from a Git repository as a Wiki
What's new in VSTS
- Quickly describe pull requests using commit messages
- Perform TFVC commands right from Windows Explorer
Build and Release
- Chain related builds together using build completion triggers
- Scale deployments to VMs using Deployment Groups
- Build applications written in Go
- Extend release gates with task extensions
- Publish markdown files from a Git repository as a Wiki
- Retain special characters in Wiki page titles
- Extend Wiki using REST APIs
Quickly describe pull requests using commit messages
Writing descriptive commit messages adds value to the history of any Git repository. To encourage quality commit messages, new pull requests (PR) that have multiple commits will require contributors to enter a title manually.
Pull request descriptions will continue to be empty by default, but a new feature will make it easier to incorporate the commit messages from the PR commits into the PR description. To add the commit messages, simply click Add commit messages to append the commit messages to the end of the PR description text.
Perform TFVC commands right from Windows Explorer
The TFVC Windows Shell Extension, which gives a lightweight version control experience integrated into Windows File Explorer, now supports VSTS and TFS 2018. This tool gives convenient access to many TFVC commands right in the Windows Explorer context menu.
Formerly part of the TFS Power tools, the tool has been released as a standalone tool on the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Build and Release
Chain related builds together using build completion triggers
Large products have several components that are dependent on each other. These components are often independently built. When an upstream component (a library, for example) changes, the downstream dependencies have to be rebuilt and revalidated. Teams typically manage these dependencies manually.
Now you can trigger a build upon the successful completion of another build. Artifacts produced by an upstream build can be downloaded and used in the later build, and you can also get data from these variables: Build.TriggeredBy.BuildId, Build.TriggeredBy.DefinitionId, Build.TriggeredBy.BuildDefinitionName. See the build triggers documentation for more information.
This feature was prioritized based on what is currently the #2 highest voted suggestion with 1,129 votes.
Keep in mind that in some cases, a single multi-phase build could meet your needs. However, a build completion trigger is useful if your requirements include different configuration settings, options, or a different team to own the dependent process.
Scale deployments to VMs using Deployment Groups
Deployment Groups, which gives robust, out-of-the-box multi-machine deployment, is now generally available. With Deployment Groups, you can orchestrate deployments across multiple servers and perform rolling updates, while ensuring high availability of your application throughout. You can also deploy to servers on-premises or virtual machines on Azure or any cloud, plus have end-to-end traceability of deployed artifact versions down to the server level.
The agent-based deployment capability relies on the same build and deployment agents that are already available. You can use the full task catalog on your target machines in the Deployment Group phase. From an extensibility perspective, you can also use the REST APIs for deployment groups and targets for programmatic access.
Shared deployment targets
If you are using the same server to host multiple applications, you can share the server (also known as the deployment target) across team projects using deployment pools.
New templates
Deploying to multiple targets is now a breeze with the new release definition templates. Multiple templates for IIS web site, IIS web site with database, and multiple deployment templates for SQL DB are available out of the box.
Provisioning VMs
Use the enhanced Azure Resource Group task to dynamically bootstrap agents on the newly provisioned or pre-existing Virtual Machines on Azure.
When we launched deployment groups in last May, we shipped a simple user interface targeted at a few key scenarios. You'll now find a more consistent interface that feels like the rest of the product.
See the Deployment Groups documentation for more information about getting started.
Build applications written in Go
Now you can build your Go applications in VSTS!
Use the Go Tool Installer task to install one or more versions of Go Tool on the fly. This task acquires a specific version of Go Tool needed by your project and adds it to the PATH of the build agent. If the targeted Go Tool version is already installed on the agent, this task will skip the process of downloading and installing it again.
The Go task helps you download dependencies, build, or test your application. You can also use this task to run a custom Go command of your choice.
Extend release gates with task extensions
Release gates bring health signals information right into your release pipeline. A gate collects a set of health signals repeatedly, prior to or after a deployment, to determine whether the release should proceed to the next stage or not. A set of built-in gates are provided, and the Invoke Azure Function option has been the recommended one for integrating other services thus far.
Now, gates can come in the form of an extension, which makes it easier for you—or extension authors—to integrate new or custom services and configure the gate.
See the authoring gate tasks documentation for more information.
Use upstream npm packages from elsewhere in VSTS
We continue to invest in upstream sources, which enable you to centralize all your package dependencies in a single feed and keep saved copies of all the packages you use. If you have multiple VSTS feeds with npm packages, now you can add one as an upstream source of the other within the same VSTS account. Because npm mostly limits you to a single feed/registry in your project's configuration, upstream sources give you the flexibility you need to use multiple npm feeds, such as one for each team or product.
We're also working to enable upstream sources for VSTS NuGet feeds soon. See the upstream sources documentation for more information.
Maintain feed query speed with retention policies
Over time the number of package versions can get extensive, with older versions going unused. For frequent package publishers, this could result in slower feed queries in the NuGet Package Manager and other clients until some versions were manually deleted.
Now you can enable retention policies on feeds. Retention policies will automatically delete the oldest version of a package once the retention threshold is met. Packages promoted to views are retained indefinitely, giving you the ability to protect versions that are used in production or used widely across your organization.
To enable retention policies, edit your feed and enter a value in the Maximum number of versions per package in the Retention policies section.
Publish markdown files from a Git repository as a Wiki
Developers create documentation for "APIs", "SDKs", and "help docs explaining code" in code repositories. Readers then need to sift through code to find the right documentation. Now you can simply publish markdown files from code repositories and host them in Wiki.
From within Wiki, start by clicking Publish code as wiki. Next, you can specify a folder in a Git repository that should be promoted.
Once you click on Publish, all the markdown files under the selected folder will be published as a wiki. This will also map the head of the branch to the wiki so that any changes you make to the Git repo will be reflected immediately.
In case you have multiple versions of your product and you want to easily skim through the documentation of these versions, you can also publish new version of the documentation to the wiki using different branches.
Once the markdown files are published, the pages will also be searchable in the Wiki search hub.
If you published the wrong repository, simply unpublish the wiki, which leaves the underlying repository unchanged.
You can also change the ordering of the pages from the repository or even transform a folder to look like a wiki page.
See the product documentation blog post for more information. This feature was prioritized based on a suggestion.
Retain special characters in Wiki page titles
You can now create wiki pages with special characters such as
: < > * ? | -. Now pages with titles like "FAQ?" or "Set-up guide" can be created in Wiki. The following characters are translated to their UTF-8 encoded strings:
|Encoded String
This feature was prioritized based on a suggestion.
Extend Wiki using REST APIs
Wiki REST APIs are now public. See the Wiki functions and Wiki search documentation for more information.
Integrate Power BI with VSTS Analytics using views
Analytics Views work with our VSTS Power BI Data Connector. Together they give an easy way to get your VSTS data into Power BI so you can start creating custom reports.
When you install the VSTS Analytics extension we create a set of default Analytics Views that you can start using in Power BI. Now you can edit your default views and create new views to fine-tune the records, fields, and history returned to Power BI.
Next steps and Feedback
We would love to hear what you think about these features. Report a problem or provide a suggestion if you have ideas on things you'd like to see us prioritize, through the feedback menu.
You can also get advice and your questions answered by the community on Stack Overflow.
