If you have a beautiful landscaped garden, determined to make sure you also think about how you can better protect your privacy. In our article today, we will discuss some ways and be the utmost care, in order to ensure your privacy. Coverage of privacy in the garden is a particularly popular variant.
You can make an interesting green fence. Using the education you need to start right after the installation of the hedge plants selected. In the first year, the young plants grow freely, then you will only vertical branches. For the second year in spring the plants grow fast or slow reach a height of 5-10 cm to 15 cm, then you can crop seedlings and even a little 'wilder side plate growth businesses.
In the coming years, it is desirable, pruning is done to the new shoots, then you need to keep the same height of the plant. Then I'll wait, beautiful sculpture of the green fence, so you can cut 10-20 with 30 cm sides of the cover. Later, you have to do is maintain. The current size should be done 3-4 times. When the size of the cover, you can use large shears, saws and more.
For ornamental plants, you can make a wide variety of shapes: round, cone and pyramid, and much more. Creating specific forms requires technical skills and knowledge, craftsmanship and long, especially when it comes to slow-growing species such as yew, boxwood, etc. The formation of the tail always begins with the cultivation of ornamental plants. The best and most interesting forms that can be obtained in small-2:00 to 3:00 plants. Potted plants can grow freely in the first year. If you do not grow well, then prefer not to circumcise the second year.
No matter what plants you have chosen for the cover of privacy in the garden, you must take into account, over the years has changed all that there is, sometimes rather quickly. Many branches wither, new shoots coming up, which develop into new shoots and branches. Sometimes it is not necessary that the cover is too thick, then some branches of existing hedges you need to cut 10-15 cm of the soil surface. This will lead to the awakening of dormant buds and coverage will rejuvenate.

Are you Considering Minimalist Military Boots?
If you are shopping for military boots, you have likely heard about minimalist footwear, and if you aren’t sure what this term means, don’t worry, we are going to go over it in detail. Currently on the footwear market, there are many different types of minimalist boots available. To help you decide whether or not you want to try this footwear, we have provided you with four benefits that these boots provide over traditional combat boots.
One of the main reasons you may want to consider minimalist military boots is because this type of footwear helps to increase agility and speed thanks to a very light boot weight, which won’t drain your energy while wearing.
When you have these light boots on your feet, you will spend less energy running and walking, which means you will be able to go farther for longer periods of time. This is especially beneficial when you are working overtime or taking part in long missions or marches.
Unlike some types of combat boots or tactical boots, minimalist boots promote a very natural gait. A natural gait is created by a 5mm or less drop. This unique drop allows you to enjoy full extension of your muscles including your gluteus maximus, hamstrings and calves.
As the name would suggest, minimalist military boots are made with less material and padding than traditional work boots. For this reason, when you wear this type of boot on your feet, you will enjoy a stronger back, feet, and ankles.
One of the most popular minimalist military boots on the market right now is the Mini-Mil series from Tactical Research. These well-made combat boots will provide you with the four benefits listed above and are available at incredibly affordable prices. To make sure we can meet the needs of military members in any branch, first responders, and those who need every day footwear, we have stocked our inventory full of different colors, styles, and heights. If you have any questions about minimalist boots, please feel free to contact us and our customer service representatives will be glad to help you. | Home » Tactical Research Boots » Are you Considering Minimalist Military Boots ?

On how many pcs/laptops can i install acb? I guess i can use the same account on all of em. Will my save file be the same, so i can play on my laptop on the road and continue where i left off when i get home?
You should be able to install it as often as you like, it's not bound to a pc, it's bound to your account.
And since it saves both offline and online, you should be able to just copy/paste your offline save-file whenever you switch computers. Do a search on where this save-file is found, probably somewhere in your user-folder, shouldn't be too hard to locate.
As for when it saves online, you won't have to do that, I think the game automatically loads the latest save file.
So, if you always have internet access, you won't have problems with the save-file.
If you some times switch between offline and online gaming, you should make sure to always copy your offline save-file between both computers.
If you some times switch between offline and online gaming, you should make sure to always copy your offline save-file between both computers. Brotherhood does NOT save online.

James Howell Jr. lost big two years ago when Hurricane Matthew swelled the Tar River, less than a half mile from his home. Finally persuaded it was too dangerous to stay, he returned two days later to discover that two feet of standing water had turned his insulation moldy, forcing a rebuild of his living room.
Now a sofa and other furniture rest under tarps on his small front porch as he and his wife Gloria prepare for Hurricane Florence, which is shaping up to be much bigger and wetter, dumping rain that could be measured in feet.
"It's scaring me to death," Howell said. "If I lose my place, I ain't coming back. I'm not coming back to Princeville no more."
Howell figures he has two options if he needs to flee. His daughter lives about 30 miles west, away from the river. That's where he said he'd be taking his most prized possessions, already loaded aboard his pickup. His granddaughter, meanwhile, is staying in a secure motel thanks to her retail employer, so he and his wife may be able to rest there.
The rich have long claimed higher ground along waterways. That left freed slaves to build their homes on bottomland. That's where Princeville became the country's first town incorporated by black Americans. The land about 75 miles (121 kilometers) east of Raleigh has been repeatedly inundated by the Tar River -- at least eight times before Matthew. In 1999, Hurricane Floyd's rains overwhelmed a dike and submerged the town in water 23 feet (7 meters) deep in spots.
Many people with limited means, like the disabled Howells, will struggle to escape and rebuild after Florence's damage is done.
The median household income of Princeville's 2,300 residents is about $28,000 a year compared to the statewide $48,000, and almost six of ten town residents had public health insurance such as Medicare, Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program in 2016, according to the US Census Bureau.
Forecasters are warning anyone living near waterways in the Carolinas to seek higher ground, and that means trouble for some of the poorest communities in eastern North Carolina and South Carolina where black people have faced historic inequality.
"What I'm fearful about is there are a lot of people who are not going to be OK because they don't have elevated structures," said Susan Cutter, director of the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina. "They're in low-lying flood prone areas and they didn't leave because they had nowhere to go and no resources to get there."
People still haven't recovered fully from Matthew in small, economically struggling communities across eastern North Carolina, from Seven Springs and Windsor near Virginia's border to Lumberton along the South Carolina line.
Gov. Roy Cooper, elected weeks after that hurricane hit, promised Tuesday that low-income people won't be left to fend for themselves during this storm. The state is using detailed mapping to pinpoint potential flooding from Florence, and sharing that information to help local authorities warn people to move.
"The idea is to have those shelters available to people on higher ground, and no matter what their income, we want to get people out of places that may be flooding," Cooper said.
In Beaufort County, more than 100 miles (161 kilometers) east of Raleigh, emergency management officials will use school buses Wednesday to move residents living in flood-prone areas to higher ground in Washington, the county seat, where a high school will shelter up to 500 people. The county is split by the broad Pamlico River and some of the 45,000 residents lack vehicles to reach the shelter on their own.
"We are trying to provide transportation where they do not have transportation," said Carnie Hedgepeth, the county's emergency services director.
Retired sisters Clydie Gardner, 71, and Dorothy Pope, 78, ran in 2016 as floodwaters spread toward their home, just before a massive oak tree, its roots loosened by Matthew's rain, toppled onto the building. They're seeking shelter this time in an aunt's home on higher ground across the river.
"They're saying it's 400 miles wide. There's no telling what it might do," Pope said. "When the water starts coming and I see it coming, I'm moving." | James Howell Jr. lost big two years ago when Hurricane Matthew swelled the Tar River , less than a half mile from his home .

Drugs are among the biggest menace threatening the young population. Drugs are also the cause of crime and violence propagated by the users and the dealers involved in their supply. As soon as your children start coming to mature age, start talking to them about drugs. Here are some ways you can easily talk to your kids about drugs.
The first thing you ought to do is explain the difference between legal and illegal drugs to your kids. For young children, this is the most fundamental knowledge you can give them as a parent as they will know the good drugs used as medicine to heal sicknesses and diseases and the illegal drugs which have negative impacts on one’s health. Ensure that you explain to them which drugs are good and the importance of keeping to drugs issued by doctors an taking the right dose as per the doctor’s prescription. Read more now!
The second thing you ought to do is ensure that you give clear information to your children. As a parent, it is advisable that you give your children clear information on questions they ask you about drugs as they seek to quench their curiosity. Keep in mind their age and ability to process information when having a conversation. Cannabis is quite challenging a topic when kids bring it up as it has been legalized in some states. When your kids ask you about it ensure that you make it clear that it is only legalized for medical users and individuals with prescriptions and also what they ought to do when someone offers it to them. Give them clear information on the effects the drugs but don’t scare them with threats.
The influence of peers at school exposes your children to drugs more than any other place during their lifetime. One of the ways you can get your children to talk about drugs to you is by creating a platform at home where that can freely open up about drugs. Create a friendship with your children and by doing this they will always come to you for advice on issues pertaining to their experiences on drugs. When your child realizes that they can trust you, they won’t be secretive and will always consult you before making a decision. You can also create chances where you show films on the impact of drugs on your children so that they can get a picture of why you always warn them on the drugs. Lastly, make the best decisions for your family and ensure that you as the parents live a life which your kids can emulate.

For young children , this is the most fundamental knowledge you can give them as a parent as they will know the good drugs used as medicine to heal sicknesses and diseases and the illegal drugs which have negative impacts on one ’s health . Ensure that you explain to them which drugs are good and the importance of keeping to drugs issued by doctors an taking the right dose as per the doctor ’s prescription . Read more now !
The second thing you ought to do is ensure that you give clear information to your children . As a parent , it is advisable that you give your children clear information on questions they ask you about drugs as they seek to quench their curiosity . Keep in mind their age and ability to process information when having a conversation . Cannabis is quite challenging a topic when kids bring it up as it has been legalized in some states . When your kids ask you about it ensure that you make it clear that it is only legalized for medical users and individuals with prescriptions and also what they ought to do when someone offers it to them . Give them clear information on the effects the drugs but do n’t scare them with threats .
The influence of peers at school exposes your children to drugs more than any other place during their lifetime . One of the ways you can get your children to talk about drugs to you is by creating a platform at home where that can freely open up about drugs . Create a friendship with your children and by doing this they will always come to you for advice on issues pertaining to their experiences on drugs . When your child realizes that they can trust you , they wo n’t be secretive and will always consult you before making a decision . You can also create chances where you show films on the impact of drugs on your children so that they can get a picture of why you always warn them on the drugs . Lastly , make the best decisions for your family and ensure that you as the parents live a life which your kids can emulate . Visit this homepage for more info . | 475 | 26 |

Unordinary technology has led the design of this modest residence, which was completed within a few months - steel skeleton was brought to the squared site, mounted on a concrete raft and wrapped in lightweight materials with thermal qualities.
The typical section of this house is based on the interpretation of traditional slate roof that by breaking and separating the two plateaus becomes another kind of an upper view and frontier. Elevating the front side of the building contributes to inclusion into the street, while lowering the back allows insertion of filtered northern light, clearly creating hierarchy between private and public sector.
Municipality legal limitations dictated rigid position of the house as a full width centered buffer, but on the other hand it has made a challenge of creating an optimization of perspective eye contact lines and making an air circulation, all by using the section which neutralizes the break and link the two open areas by using interiors spaces. | Unordinary technology has led the design of this modest residence , which was completed within a few months - steel skeleton was brought to the squared site , mounted on a concrete raft and wrapped in lightweight materials with thermal qualities .

Two friends, who perform scientific experiments as a hobby, accidentally discover a means of time travel.
If anybody has read The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, you will know the workings of the Time Traveller’s time machine is never properly technically explained. The Time Traveller loosely explains his theory about time being a 4th dimension, pulls a lever on his time machine and is able to time travel forwards and backwards. That’s as scientific as the story gets. From a storytelling approach, like the exposition of the Frog DNA being the key to cloning dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, it’s important to give enough story information so the audience can suspend their disbelief but not too much or risk the logic collapsing itself.
Primer challenges this idea. Shane Carruth’s storytelling approach, much like his two main characters, is equally experimental. The realistic way he’s chosen to present the science is noteworthy. Is it more realistic than The Time Traveller pulling a lever to travel back in time? No. Because the science again is never explained in full detail. It’s the feeling of realism and science that’s put onto the story that makes it feel realistic. Many scientific discoveries in the past have been accidental and Primer puts the audience inside that drama through its two scientists Aaron and Abe. The technical jargon-heavy dialogue is probably as close to not having any exposition in a film ever. The effect is jarring because we don’t know what they’re talking about exactly. However, it refocuses on Aaron and Abe’s emotional reactions and that’s where Primer grabbed me. I believed that they were scientists and experienced their excitement and awe of their accidental discovery. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what will happen next.
I’m glad I didn’t see Primer in theaters, as the last 20 minutes of the film really test your brain power as an audience member. The story shifts into 4th gear and crescendoes into a finale. I had to rewind the last 20 minutes and rewatch it a few times to understand what was going on. For that Primer loses some points in my book because the film assumes that it’s okay for the audience to be lost in Primer, it accomplishes that for the first two thirds. Whether an audience member follows along the last third of the film will ultimately justifies Carruth’s story experiment. For me, it proves that as non-cinematic as it is filling your story with exposition, it is still a critical component to storytelling.
That said, I applaud Carruth’s experimental exposition-less approach to storytelling. I believe the completed film is 100% what Shane Carruth set out to make and the fact that he achieved his vision for 7000 U.S. dollars is impressive to me. | Two friends , who perform scientific experiments as a hobby , accidentally discover a means of time travel .

Water makes up a large part of the fluid that lubricates and cushions your joints and muscles.
Make sure that you're drinking at least half your body weight in ounces per day of ionized alkaline water. Be careful of bottled waters, which are typically acidic. Plastic bottles also leach harmful petrochemicals into the water. Use BPA free water bottles.
If you've heard about the special properties of alkaline ionized water this book will help you separate fact from fiction. Dr. Timothy McKnight got a Bachelor's degree in nutrition, then a master's degree in Nutrition then did his Ph.D. in Nutrition. He attended medical school at Ohio State University College Of Medicine. Dr. McKnight is a board certified family practitioner who has been in private practice since 1997. He also runs the Fit for Life program at Trinity Hospital. For his book Confessions Of A Skeptical Physician, Dr. McKnight dug deep into the health benefits of alkaline ionized water. He shares his findings and summarizes the current research with over 30 pages of abstracts of recent medical research.
How to live long and never be sick.
Dr. Hiromi Shinya's research is grounded in his 49 years of medical practice in the United States and Japan. Doctor Shinya's science is clearly explained and easy to understand. This simple health regime has led hundreds of his patients, many suffering from cancer and other life-threatening diseases, to perfect health. This is a new, important and affordable approach to health care in America by the world's leading gastroenterologist. Dr. Shinya developed the life-saving medical tool used for the endoscopic treatment of polyps. His revolutionary "Shinya Method" avoids surgery and has become widely used in colonoscopies. He has spent his life in empirical research in the subject of human digestion. Learn what Dr. Shinya has to say about alkaline ionized water.
Authors: Robert O. Young, D.Sc., Ph.D.
The pH Miracle is reminiscent of an earlier generation of diet books. Much of the focus is on an intestinal cleansing program, followed by a diet of vegetables, coupled with a selection of supplements that authors Robert and Shelley Young recommend to everyone, no matter what their age, gender or state of health. Dr. Young recommends ionized alkalized water for better health. He states that electron-rich alkaline fluids neutralize the acids from the food that you're eating. Doctor Young says the one thing you can do to have better health, is to start drinking alkalized ionized water.
As a result of extensive research into the role of water in the body, Doctor Batmanghelidj "Dr. Batman" believes that he has found chronic dehydration to be the cause of many conditions including pain, asthma, diabetes, obesity, allergies, arthritis, angina, migraine headaches, hypertension, raised cholesterol, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, colitis pain, back pain, depression and more. He has discovered the key to a longer, healthier and more vigorous life. He shares with you his medical breakthrough that many people put their minds and bodies under intolerable and unnecessary stress and become sick simply because they do not drink enough water.
If you have back pain or know anyone who does, this book is a must. Healing Back Pain explains how you can possibly relieve back pain and sciatica (pain radiating down the leg), without exercise, medication, physical therapy or surgery. If you have already been to a doctor for this condition or have tried everything you could to relieve your persistent back pain, consider reading this book as an inexpensive second opinion. This is a non-invasive approach to an extremely disabling condition. Healing Back Pain was written by Dr. John Sarno, a well-respected New York City medical doctor who pioneered an effective approach to healing back pain without surgery.
John E. Sarno, M.D. was Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine at New York University School of Medicine in Manhattan, NY and attending physician at the Howard A. Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at New York University Medical Center in New York City.
Robert Kiyosaki has received all sorts of awards and honors over the years, based upon his global message of financial literacy. Most people struggle financially because although they've spent years in school, they learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to "work for money"... but never learn to have "money work for them."
There are as many stars in our galaxy, about 100 billion stars, as there are neurons in your brain. Your cell phone has more computing power than NASA had when it landed Apollo 11 on the moon. These seemingly unrelated facts tell us two things: our brains are magnificently complex organisms and science fiction has a way of becoming reality rather quickly. This deeply fascinating book by theoretical physicist Kaku explores what might be in store for our minds. Michio Kaku is the co-founder of String Field Theory and is the author of international best-selling books such as Hyperspace, Visions and Beyond Einstein. Michio Kaku is the Henry Semat Professor in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York. | Water makes up a large part of the fluid that lubricates and cushions your joints and muscles .

From the first beginnings of the denomination, Free Will Baptists have affirmed and re-affirmed two major doctrines as biblical—General Atonement and Believer’s Baptism. Both would set them apart from the Calvinistic doctrines of election, predestination and infant baptism. While the Free Will Baptists did not suggest that baptism was essential to salvation, it did mark the individual as a believer and served as a sign and seal of church membership.
The rejection of infant baptism left the Free Will Baptists with one question that demand solution. What happens to a child that dies in infancy, before they have had an opportunity to hear the gospel and accept Christ as Savior? The question was addressed and settled in one of the earliest statements of faith published by the denomination. In An Abstract of the Former Articles of Faith Confessed by the Original Baptist Church, Holding the Doctrine of General Provision introduced by the North Carolina Free Will Baptists in 1812, infants were declared to be covered by the blood of Christ.
We believe that all children, dying in infancy, having not actually transgressed against the law of God in their own persons, are only subject to the first death which was brought on men by the fall of the first Adam, and not that any one of them dying in that state, shall suffer punishment in Hell by the guilt of Adam’s sin, for of such is the kingdom of God. | From the first beginnings of the denomination , Free Will Baptists have affirmed and re - affirmed two major doctrines as biblical — General Atonement and Believer ’s Baptism .

Here is a recipe I’ve been meaning to share for a minute: Baked Potato Soup. It’s been in the back of my mind for months now, just waiting for cool weather to creep in. Now that the air is crisp and the leaves are crunchy, it’s time to break out the soup recipes! Now, I don’t always make such broad statements, but I feel completely confident in saying that this is the best baked potato soup you will ever eat in your life. It is seriously that good.
About fifteen years ago, a chef friend of mine taught me how to make a roux, which led to me learning how to make lots of amazing sauces and soups. What is a roux? Well darlin’, a roux is basically mixing fat and flour to use as a thickening agent. It is the cornerstone of so many recipes. This particular recipe uses bacon fat and flour, much like my green chile recipe. I feel like you really can’t go wrong when bacon fat is one of the ingredients.
I have shared my potato soup recipe with pretty much all of my friends, and I’ve taken it to countless soup potlucks and new mothers. Everyone always asks for the recipe. So here you go.
Sauté onions in about 3 T. of reserved bacon drippings until translucent. Add flour and another 3 T. bacon drippings and stir to coat. Cook for 3 minutes, until mixture just begins to brown. Create a roux by adding chicken stock slowly, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Reduce heat and add potatoes and seasonings. Allow to simmer and thicken ten minutes.
Add half and half and allow soup to heat throughout, but do not boil.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated sharp cheddar, crumbled bacon, and diced scallion. Serve with crusty bread.
This will be perfect for winter!
Omg..you had me at bacon! I’m going to try to get the hubs to make this tonight! So warm and creamy and cozy!

If there’s any company that knows about pushback following policy changes, it’s Facebook. But that’s kind of to be expected given Facebook’s self-proclaimed “learning culture,” in which it allows itself to try new things, even at the risk that they don’t achieve the preferred result, with the expectation that what’s learned from the failure is valuable in itself.
But even given that, said Facebook’s head of public policy in the EU Lord Richard Allan, the remaining challenge is how to educate consumers and regulators both on what those changes are. That’s because, as we now well know, no one reads privacy policies. At least not in real-time and for information on how their data is being used or to determine whether to use a product.
Notably, after facing threats of enforcement action from the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office, Facebook agreed to stop using data from U.K. WhatsApp users for marketing or product improvements. Facebook acquired WhatsApp in 2014, and the two companies have shared data until recently confronted by the Article 29 Working Party.
Allan said business models and technology are evolving and the drive to integrate products is “perfectly natural and perfectly normal,” even though they are often seen as the exception to the rule.
He used the example of Facebook or other web companies moving from static products or services into the mobile space. Suddenly, location data comes into play, and updates must be made to policies to reflect a new data use. That’s a normal part of the game, he said.
And it’s a problem that’s only going to continue. Think about connected cars, for example. Today, when a consumer buys a car, a safety certification has been done on the car before it’s driven off the lot.
But soon, connected cars will use data, and software updates will be persistent. Car manufacturers will soon have a requirement to alert drivers when updates have occurred, and that’s just an example. The same will happen across sectors as technology evolves, Allan said.
He said it’s necessary to find ways for companies to be able to operate within frameworks without being paralyzed by their provisions as well as solutions on how to communicate to consumers in a meaningful way and one in which appeases regulators. Earlier this year, for example, the company released a paper, "A New Paradigm for Personal Data," the result of an 11-city consultation tour. Some have criticized Facebook's new products in light of that very paper, but Facebook has also applied some of its findings in recently denying an insurance company's plan to use user posts to evaluate them for discounts.
Allan said Facebook doesn’t claim to have the recipe.
But he said Facebook is trying to set up programs to talk with a broader group on what some of those solutions might be. And that some of those solutions might include improved user-interface design, which might provide users with bite-sized pieces of information at the time it’s relevant. So if location data were to be used, the consumer might get a three-paragraph notice on how the data is to be used.
Editor's Note: This article was updated on Nov. 11, 2016, to provide more context to Facebook's privacy decision-making. | If there ’s any company that knows about pushback following policy changes , it ’s Facebook . But that ’s kind of to be expected given Facebook ’s self - proclaimed “ learning culture , ” in which it allows itself to try new things , even at the risk that they do n’t achieve the preferred result , with the expectation that what ’s learned from the failure is valuable in itself .
But even given that , said Facebook ’s head of public policy in the EU Lord Richard Allan , the remaining challenge is how to educate consumers and regulators both on what those changes are . That ’s because , as we now well know , no one reads privacy policies . At least not in real - time and for information on how their data is being used or to determine whether to use a product .

On March 2, you will have a great opportunity to meet with Mr Joshua Anchors' representative of the elite, private boarding school Leman Manhattan Preparatory School .
Leman Manhattan is the only private boarding school located in the heart of the financial heart of America - on Wall Street. The uniqueness of the school lies not only in its geolocation, but also in that, unlike most schools, Leman Manhattan is a school of "vertical", occupying several floors of the former building of Bank of America. This contributes to the upbringing of the leadership spirit that prevails in school.
During individual meetings you can ask all the questions you are interested in regarding the organization of training and adaptation of international students at the school, get reliable information about the introductory requirements, student life on campus and further prospects of studying at top universities. | On March 2 , you will have a great opportunity to meet with Mr Joshua Anchors ' representative of the elite , private boarding school Leman Manhattan Preparatory School .

November 8, 2016 2:00 P.M. – Ontario has appointed an independent advisor on corrections reform to provide advice to the government on the use of segregation and ways to improve the province’s adult corrections system.
Howard Sapers, who has most recently served as the Correctional Investigator of Canada and Ombudsman for offenders sentenced in federal correctional institutions, will review the use of all forms of segregation in Ontario’s corrections facilities, and will identify opportunities for longer-term corrections transformation.
Update legislation, regulations, policies and procedures to support these objectives.
His appointment begins on January 1, 2017 and Mr. Sapers will provide an interim report on the use of segregation in Ontario’s adult correctional facilities within 60 days. The interim report will give recommendations on ways to address current issues and challenges related to segregation. This could include additional improvements to build on the government’s recent changes, as well as shorter-term opportunities to reduce the use of segregation.
The final report, expected in spring 2017, will help inform the government’s approach to long-term reform in the corrections system. This work may include exploring options for enhancing programming and formalizing internal and external oversight functions. | November 8 , 2016 2:00 P.M. – Ontario has appointed an independent advisor on corrections reform to provide advice to the government on the use of segregation and ways to improve the province ’s adult corrections system .

This Navy SEAL Was Charged With Murder For Killing ISIS Terrorist. So President Trump Stepped In.
(Tea Party PAC) – On Saturday, the President intervened on behalf of American hero and decorated US Navy SEAL, Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher, who has been charged with “premeditated murder” of an ISIS terrorist.
US Navy prosecutors accused Gallagher of murder after he stabbed an injured 15-year-old ISIS terrorist in Mosul, Iraq, in May of 2017.
To add insult to injury, Gallagher was arrested on September 11th, 2018, Patriot’s Day. The decorated SEAL was placed in shackles and detained in solitary confinement, even remaining shackled for 72 hours.
He is being held at Miramar Brig in San Diego, California.
Gallagher was also charged with aggravated assault for allegedly shooting civilians in Iraq.
Gallagher denies the charges and his attorney remains confident that he will be acquitted.
“In honor of his past service to our Country, Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher will soon be moved to less restrictive confinement while he awaits his day in court. Process should move quickly!” Trump wrote in a Saturday tweet.
Gallagher is a 19-year veteran of the US Navy and has done 8 tours, 6 as an elite special forces operator. He was ranked as the top SEAL chief and his platoon ranked as the top platoon in the SEALs.
This man is a true hero who has served valiantly for his country, and yet he is facing charges for killing the enemies of our country?!
The Navy SEALs Fund Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield, who call the charges made against him a “travesty of justice,” have started a fundraising campaign for him. | This Navy SEAL Was Charged With Murder For Killing ISIS Terrorist . So President Trump Stepped In .

Rachel: "So Matt, how are the wedding plans coming?"
Matt: "It is what it is."
We celebrated Marie's 21st birthday tonight, two days early. Marie and Jen plan to celebrate their joint birthdays (happy 20th, Jen!) with a 3-day trip to Hollywood and Universal Studios beginning tomorrow. In keeping with family tradition, Marie chose the dinner location - California Pizza Kitchen; she loves the chicken and avocado eggroll appetizer and the chocolate souffle dessert.
Matt and Lisa gave Marie a beautiful stone pendant and a silver & blue bracelet. We gave Marie a digital camera (slightly early so she could take it on our Paris trip) and a custom painted spindle with the artwork of her favorite artist.
During dinner, Matt mentioned that Rachel had called earlier in the day. She asked about wedding plans, and much to Lisa's annoyance, Matt's only reply was "It is what it is." No details, no "I'll let you talk to Lisa"; just "It is what it is." That became the catch phrase of the night. It is what it is. | Rachel : " So Matt , how are the wedding plans coming ? "

Last week our blog focused on the book Out of Poverty by Paul Polak. This week’s focus is on the follow up.
The key is what the authors call Zero-Based Design: starting from scratch to create innovative products and services tailored for the very poor, armed with a thorough understanding of what they really want and need and driven by what they call “the ruthless pursuit of affordability.”Polak has been doing this work for years, and Warwick has extensive experience in both business and philanthropy. Together, they show how their design principles and vision can enable unapologetic capitalists to supply the very poor with clean drinking water, electricity, irrigation, housing, education, healthcare, and other necessities at a fraction of the usual cost and at profit margins attractive to investors. | Last week our blog focused on the book Out of Poverty by Paul Polak .

Washi rice paper tape is so easy to use, you’ll want to make it a part of all the crafting projects you do with your kids. Have them stick bits of tape cut in a variety geometric shapes all over the surface of the ball ornaments and create fun and original patterns.
Step 1: To make a clear glass ball ornament opaque, remove the metal cap, pour a small amount of paint inside the ornament and move it around so that the paint coats the sides. Let the paint dry before putting the metal cap back on.
Step 2: Before letting your kids’ imaginations run wild, cut strips of tape into small, simple geometric shapes, such as triangles, diamonds, squares and rectangles.
Step 3: Place the Washi tape shapes on the edge of a bowl or plastic plate to make the tiny bits easier to handle. It may be a good idea to cut an empty toilet paper roll into rings to create a base on which to rest each ball ornament when decorating it.
Step 4: Let your kids creatively apply the tiny Washi tape shapes to the ball ornaments. Cut out more shapes as needed. | Washi rice paper tape is so easy to use , you ’ll want to make it a part of all the crafting projects you do with your kids .

"No one likes a chicken dinner when it’s cold."
Twitch has introduced a set of custom filters that let PUBG enthusiasts better organise their streams. The new options let viewers skip matches—be that team games, duos or solo bouts—based on how many players are left alive.
As outlined in the following tweet, viewers can now select 'More Than 50', '25-50' or 'Fewer Than 25' as they hone in on the action, cutting out blocks of early match tedium as they go.
Seriously, no one needs to watch a stranger getting their arse kicked while chasing a bare-fisted chicken dinner.

RALEIGH - Thanks to Ricky Rose, the phrase "This is a stick-up" has a whole new meaning in the Triangle.
Rose, a 34-year-old homeless man, will appear in court today on armed robbery charges. Police say Rose took $19.31 from a Raleigh lawyer at a South Blount Street gas station on the night of May 24.
Not a gun. Not a knife. Not even a broken beer bottle.
Out of either extraordinary gumption or extraordinary stupidity, Rose is alleged to have sneaked behind the 65-year-old man and held him up with a beige office stapler.

We know that attending an orchestra may be a new experience for you, so we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions below.
This one’s easy - wear whatever you want! Some audience members love to dress up and make it a special occasion, while others prefer to show up in something casual. You’ll find the Orchestra likes to wear a lot of black, but whatever you want to wear is fine with us.
A lot of classical music is broken up into sections called movements. Think of it like courses in a meal. Some people prefer to save their applause for the very end of a work, whereas others like to show appreciation as each section finishes. You’ll find it is different at almost every concert. If you feel uncertain, take your cues from those around you, and clap like crazy when they do. You can be assured the musicians will appreciate your applause whenever you choose to give it.
Unlike going to the movies, or seeing your favourite band with supporting acts, Queensland Symphony Orchestra concerts start at their ticketed time. To ensure you experience all our concerts have to offer, it’s best to arrive between 20 and 30 minutes before a performance. This will give you enough time to locate the correct door to find your seat, get a drink, and relax after your day.
Entering at an inappropriate time can cause disturbance to the musicians and your fellow audience members, therefore entry to Queensland Symphony Orchestra performances is restricted once a performance has begun. If you are running late, you will be admitted during a suitable break in the music or between pieces, and will be directed to the closest available seat. You will then be able to move to your ticketed seat during interval.
Do I Need to Know Anything About the Music?
Short answer? No! We find people who are new to orchestral music have just as good a time as those who have been coming for years. That being said, we do notice that those who understand a little about the music, often enjoy it more too. So if you’re interested, we host pre-concert talks at a lot of our performances where you can find out more about the music being performed. You can also learn about the music in our listening guides, which are available free at every performance. These guides are designed to give you prompts to listen out for, and background information to prepare your ears for the musical journey.
Turn off your mobile phone – because our venues are usually acoustically superb and everyone will hear it! | We know that attending an orchestra may be a new experience for you , so we ’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions below .

If they'd called it banana passionfruit, I would've thought it was a custom blend and not a single species.
But "curuba" was the intriguing name on the licuados menu; the uncommon translation "molly fruit" must allude to the taxonomic descriptor Passiflora mollissima. For the more exotic varieties, this Honduran shop prepares its licuados (about 20 fl. oz.; $2.50) from packets of frozen pulp, not fresh fruit, and though I had mine blended with water rather than milk for the best available approximation of pure molly fruit flavor, once more I was reminded of summer-camp orange drink. At least it was orange.
I also noted that the refrigerator case contained jars of sour cream labeled "Gualamalteco," "Hondureño," "Mexicano," and "Salvadoreño," whose fine distinctions I couldn't discern. More to explore here. | If they 'd called it banana passionfruit , I would 've thought it was a custom blend and not a single species .

Chora is the name for the center of the island of Mykonos, Greece.
The Chora of Mykonos, or Mykonos town, or plainly referred to as Chora, is a typical Cycladic village and the capital town of Mykonos. It is a typical Cycladic village, filled with traditionally built white houses, churches and chapels, shops of all kinds and taverns. Located on the western side of the island and less than 5km from both the port and the airport of Mykonos, you should have no trouble reaching this beautiful place.
Either if you have just arrived on the island, if you don't feel like going to the beach, or if you are simply on a hungover (it seems to be common with visitors of the island) from last night's partying, Chora will welcome you. The narrow streets (called "sokakia" or "calderimia" by the locals) with the iconic Cycladic style white houses with the blossomed flowers are great for taking a walk and some pictures as well. From there you may end up in one of the many shops located here: shops selling souvenirs, traditional items, traditional food and sweets and even clothing stores. From inexpensive clothing stores, ideal for gifts to your beloved ones, to the best designer brands, you'll find it all here. Regarding eating places, again you won’t be disappointed by the cusine of Mykonos: Chora has all kinds of fast foods, taverns and gourmet luxurious dining propositions for you. For a cup of coffee or an early cocktail or drink, we recommend visiting the famous district of Little Venice, which is particularly crowded at night.
Chora also has an archaeological museum since 1902, where you'll see various exhibits, most of which come from the historically important island of Delos, and from Rheneia as well. Such exhibits include statues, pottery, jewelry, clay figurines, and funerary statues. Due to its rich maritime history, it's no surprise you'll also find a nautical museum, as well as a folklore museum.
Although the beaches of Mykonos are what you are here for, walking and seeing the beauty of Chora is like tasting a traditional part of Greece, something truly unforgettable. | Chora is the name for the center of the island of Mykonos , Greece .

The customer wanted a clean garage where there was enough cabinet space to house all items. Walls covered floor to ceiling with cedar slatwall for aesthetics and function, with no visible screws was requested. A custom border was integrated into the slatwall, with a change of angle and thickness for visual interest. The floor also had a failing coating which was removed. A new Epoxy and Polyaspartic floor coating was applied. LED lighting over the workbench was incorporated along with room for an under-cabinet refrigerator in workbench area.
The border was made utilizing copper blaze material matching the cabinets in 5 inch wide strips. Three-forths thick copper blaze had a 2 inch section of 3/8 inch thick Black TFL inset to add visual interest to border. All slatwall utilized a hidden fastener system.

I am not opposed to the healthy remuneration of executives for success – quite the opposite – however it has become clear that Corporate Britain has been captured by ridiculous levels of pay for executives who fail to deliver business success.
As the owner of Phones4U, I deliberately created a system that motivated workers financially, whereby senior managers would be significantly rewarded for long-term performance at a high level. The skill of leading executives is priceless for a business; they have the ability to take a firm to the next level and significantly boost shareholder value – the most crucial factor when considering remuneration.
What can be even worse from a business development perspective is the cost of attrition, losing highly talented people who are relied on most. They must be retained, even if their salaries seem inflated. But what we are regularly seeing is executives who consistently fail to deliver long-term financial success for their companies being rewarded with exponential salaries and dishonest bonus packages.
This has triggered significant attention and debate over the past twelve months, as wages fail to keep a pace with inflation, and more stories of excessive executive pay are reported. These have included the BHS fat cats who benefited most from the bailout package agreed following the company’s collapse, and UK university chiefs taking home up to £468,000.
Whether successful executives are worth what they are being paid is often ignored; the assumption is that they are overpaid and could not possibly be delivering value which is consistent with their sizeable salaries. From the perspective of a business owner, this is often misguided and oversimplified. Shareholder value is the greatest determining factor when considering an executive’s pay; they can make or break your business. If they are adding significant value and are acting responsibly to improve a company’s reputation, then quite simply they deserve their pay, and bonus.
Two examples of the importance of executives stand out; Apple lost 3% of its value when its CEO Steve Jobs died, knocking around $10bn (£6.1bn) off the company’s value, while Microsoft gained 8% when Steve Ballmer resigned. Executives like Steve Jobs are paid so handsomely because the decisions they make are vital for the success of the business, and if you want to attract the very best to your firm, you have to pay them accordingly.
However, the long-term approach to financial incentives and salaries that I adopted at Phones4U is not often employed by other businesses and is replaced by an insatiable drive for short term profitability, and, worst of all, a system based on overall business turnover calculated on an annual basis. Shareholder value is ignored by many. Executives are often not aligned with the long-term success of their company, and are instead incentivised to make business decisions which could be damaging in the long-run.
This is a difficult subject for companies looking to future-proof their business. Executives with a short-term outlook are without an incentive to protect the reputation of their company. A business’ reputation takes years, if not decades, to build, yet can be destroyed in a heartbeat by a reckless commercial decision. A damaged reputation will always impact share price – reinforcing the need for executive pay and performance to be closely aligned with a company’s long-term shareholder value.
An issue often ignored in this debate is executive severance packages. This is fat cat pay at its most preposterous. Despite apparent failures, executives receive multi-million-pound pay-offs. A business often feels it has no choice but to do so, as they are left powerless in fear of former executives dirtying the name of their company.
Worse still, these same executives who consistently fail in their roles go from job to job, collecting compensation packages at every turn. These executives are legally protected, and are simply not held accountable under the current system for their poor performance.
Corporate Britain is undoubtedly in a perilous position. Inflated salaries and bonus pay-outs are unaligned to shareholder value. Power has shifted to executives, who are able to perform poorly and negotiate their own severance package from a position of unfettered power. This leaves less senior employees alienated by the financial security they see in their executives, and the apparent injustice of such an unmeritocratic system.
If the government is serious about tackling excessive pay, more needs to be done to empower company shareholders, realigning remuneration with long-term performance. Employment law needs to be less protective of the senior executives, and financial incentives must be restructured to align with long term objectives. Without comprehensive reform, the fat cats will only get fatter. | I am not opposed to the healthy remuneration of executives for success – quite the opposite – however it has become clear that Corporate Britain has been captured by ridiculous levels of pay for executives who fail to deliver business success .

We love learning new languages at our house and we need all the help we can get in that department! My kids are very motivated to learn Spanish because we live in an area with many native Spanish speakers. We were excited to review a new-to-us language program – Mango Languages using their Mango Homeschool Edition!
Mango Languages is an online language course that allows you access to over 60 foreign languages from which to choose when beginning to learn a language. With a subscription, you are able to browse the list of language programs and choose from any of the languages – or even choose more than one to try.
Mango is designed for students ages 6 and older. They have programs for those in the corporate world, for personal use, or for homeschool families.
The program also has features for discussion between users of the program in forums for each language.
Mango also has mobile apps for iPod, iPad, and Android for language-learning on the go!
We used the Homeschool Edition of the program.
My kids decided they would like to learn Spanish and I chose Spanish as well. I also tried a few lessons of Russian to experiment with a new language.
I started all my kids at the first lesson even though Curly has studied Spanish in the past. However, I took the placement test for Spanish (I didn’t place very far into the program so I began at the second lesson). I started at the beginning of the Russian program.
We worked on Spanish 4 days per week. We usually worked to complete one lesson per day. It quickly became apparent that the amount of vocabulary presented, as well as the grammar information, was too much for Tiger and Bee. Instead of working on the program themselves, they often sat in while Curly worked through her lessons. Curly was able to complete one lesson per day but some lessons were fairly long and took her about 30 minutes.
Each lesson had multiple screens containing vocabulary, review, grammar tips, cultural information, and pronunciation help. The lessons often had around 50 screens to work through as part of the lesson. The end of each chapter contained a review quiz.
When working on new words and phrases there is an option to listen to the pronunciation and then record yourself saying it. You can record yourself and play it back as often as you need to in order to check your pronunciation. I found this to be so helpful when I was trying to compare how I was saying the words to the correct pronunciation.
A pronunciation key is provided when you are learning a new word. You can click on the word and a bubble appears above the word which shows you the pronunciation. I found this very helpful when I was trying to learn Russian. Russian letters look nothing like our alphabet so seeing how the word should be said if written in our English letters helped me tremendously!
You control the pace of the lessons by clicking the next arrows when you are ready to move to a new screen. This allows you to work on a word or phrase for as long as you need to before advancing to the next screen of the lesson. We enjoyed that we could progress at our own speed and not feel rushed.
The lessons had great review and ask you to recall words from different points in the lesson. I found the review to be very beneficial and I know it helped Curly as she used the program. The lessons move fairly quickly so any amount of review was good to have.
The program can be difficult and overwhelming to navigate in the beginning. Although there are instructions provided which detail how to set up your account and choose your languages, I still found it took me some time to feel comfortable navigating the site.
Some languages have files that can be downloaded that contain a lesson guide with vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar helps. I found the downloads for the languages I was trying to study invaluable! It was helpful to have a written guide for reference.
There are multiple options to participate in forums, chat with others learning the same language, and post comments on your “Say Wall.” I found these features somewhat difficult to use and I was unsure how to use some of them. I could not figure out how the “Say Wall” was beneficial. I also did not find the forums to add to our experience. Instead, we stuck to just working through the lessons without using many of the other features.
I did have one other comment about the chat forums. I’m not sure I would want my young children to interact with others online – and I don’t think they are old enough to keep up a “chat” conversation (they don’t type well). So, I would have preferred a way to turn off this feature or a way to keep them from being able to access the forums. While the forums are for paid users of the program and are not public, I don’t feel that they would benefit my young language learners.
Because most of the lesson was working through vocabulary words and orally responding when prompted to provide a word or phrase, it can be difficult to track and assess student progress if you are not in the room with them to verify that they are pronouncing the words correctly. The lessons don’t ask you to click on pictures or phrases to choose the correct one – the lessons ask you to respond aloud to provide the words. I was left wishing that there were more activities that required the students to select correct answers rather than just the quizzes so I could see a record of progress. It would be very easy for a student to breeze through the lessons without giving the oral responses, but waiting for the computer to provide the correct response. Of course, this student would not have done well on the quiz. But the nature of the program means the student must be accountable for participating in each lesson.
I found it difficult to track Curly’s progress since I could not view quiz reports or lesson progress. The quizzes only provide a percentage of answers correct but do not indicate which questions you missed. Because of this, I found that I had to be sitting right next to Curly to truly assess her progress for myself. This isn’t a feasible option in my busy house. So, I would like to see improved options for viewing quiz results and tracking and assessing progress.
At the time of the review, Mango had not completed all of the options for the Homeschool Edition which I reviewed. Some features were not available to me and others may not have been fully functioning. In addition, they plan to upgrade the tracking features and the quizzes to allow for better assessment by the parent/teacher.
I’m hopeful that these changes enhance our experience with the program. I also hope they provide more explanation of the various features so I can better understand how to use them to the fullest extent.
So be aware that there are updated features coming soon!
The version I reviewed was the Beta version.
We found Mango to be a fun program and very helpful for learning another language. The pace moves fairly quickly so it would be difficult for the younger language learners. I would recommend the program for children who are in upper elementary or older and have had some background in grammar and are solid readers.
We found the vocabulary, pronunciation helps, grammar tips, and cultural information to be informative and create a well-rounded program. But I did find all the extra features in the program to be a little confusing and overwhelming. We did not need/want to use them for our studies and rather focused solely on the language lessons.
While we used the homeschool edition of this program, I found the language programs to be geared more toward someone who is planning to travel to the foreign country rather than a student learning the language for basic conversation. The topics covered, such as dining, asking for help, using the bank, and sightseeing were not vocabulary that my children would need at their ages. I was hoping for vocabulary that would be more pertinent to someone who is learning the language to speak with someone locally or to be able to read books in Spanish. Many of the phrases would not be helpful or applicable to my children – they were more interested in learning vocabulary for words that they would actually use day-to-day. So, the vocabulary and topics covered were not quite what I was hoping for in a program for younger language learners. It would be excellent preparation for traveling to a foreign country, however.

You can find Mango Languages on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest! | We love learning new languages at our house and we need all the help we can get in that department ! My kids are very motivated to learn Spanish because we live in an area with many native Spanish speakers . We were excited to review a new - to - us language program – Mango Languages using their Mango Homeschool Edition !
Mango Languages is an online language course that allows you access to over 60 foreign languages from which to choose when beginning to learn a language . With a subscription , you are able to browse the list of language programs and choose from any of the languages – or even choose more than one to try .
Mango is designed for students ages 6 and older . They have programs for those in the corporate world , for personal use , or for homeschool families .
The program also has features for discussion between users of the program in forums for each language .
Mango also has mobile apps for iPod , iPad , and Android for language - learning on the go !
We used the Homeschool Edition of the program .
My kids decided they would like to learn Spanish and I chose Spanish as well . I also tried a few lessons of Russian to experiment with a new language .
I started all my kids at the first lesson even though Curly has studied Spanish in the past . However , I took the placement test for Spanish ( I did n’t place very far into the program so I began at the second lesson ) . I started at the beginning of the Russian program .
We worked on Spanish 4 days per week . We usually worked to complete one lesson per day . It quickly became apparent that the amount of vocabulary presented , as well as the grammar information , was too much for Tiger and Bee . Instead of working on the program themselves , they often sat in while Curly worked through her lessons . Curly was able to complete one lesson per day but some lessons were fairly long and took her about 30 minutes .
Each lesson had multiple screens containing vocabulary , review , grammar tips , cultural information , and pronunciation help . The lessons often had around 50 screens to work through as part of the lesson . The end of each chapter contained a review quiz .
When working on new words and phrases there is an option to listen to the pronunciation and then record yourself saying it . You can record yourself and play it back as often as you need to in order to check your pronunciation . I found this to be so helpful when I was trying to compare how I was saying the words to the correct pronunciation .
A pronunciation key is provided when you are learning a new word . You can click on the word and a bubble appears above the word which shows you the pronunciation . I found this very helpful when I was trying to learn Russian . Russian letters look nothing like our alphabet so seeing how the word should be said if written in our English letters helped me tremendously !

Integration and orchestration has always been a challenge for most enterprise systems. When the cloud arrived, another layer of complexity was added to the equation of integration. Within the on premise (within a customer-controlled environment) world, something like BizTalk would be a choice for integrating and setting up communication between internal & external systems. Within the cloud there was a gap for this kind of solution. Microsoft decided to take BizTalk’s concept of workflows, designed via any web browser, to develop a scalable integrated solution, and called it Logic Apps.
Microsoft have invested a lot time and money to bring the technology to Azure and to move the cloud towards a serverless architecture. The idea to create, develop and deploy without worrying about the infrastructure, is an interesting concept and Logic Apps are a good example this approach.
Actions: These are selected and driven by the user. For example, sending an email when a request has been received.
Triggers: A trigger is a notification when an event has occurred. For example, when a new file has been uploaded to a specific file storage account. There are 2 types of triggers, Polling and Pushing Triggers.
There are 2 different type of connectors, Built-In actions or Managed.
Built-In Actions: These are actions to call an API endpoint, provide an HTTP endpoint, call other Logic Apps or Azure functions or schedule a reoccurring task.
Managed: These managed connectors provide access to APIs for various services. They fall into various categories of Standard Connectors, On-Premise Connectors, integration Account Connectors and Enterprise Connectors.
Logic apps provide the facility to add conditions after each action. This operation is optional and not mandatory. To add a condition, click in the plus after an action and select “Add a condition”. You will be presented with 3 boxes the first is the field to be evaluated, the second is the evaluation operation and the final box is the comparison value.
Logic app actions are grouped into API actions, Workflow actions and Condition actions.
Settings brings up the following options, which alters the behaviour of the action, but in most cases these options are rarely changed.
When I first started to use logic apps, I applied if statements and switch statements based on action result until I found this setting. The action is only run when the condition is true, in the example below, only if the previous action was successful this action will execute.
This option is very useful, if you want to, for example, verify the correct variables/objects have been selected and applied to the action for it to execute successfully. I have used this option to copy and reapply a connection string to a new action to provide consistency and speed up the development process.
The following example is a completed logic app within the browser, but what is happening under the hood?
ContentVersion: This is the definition version.
Parameters: Within your workflow, you can specify input parameters with a maximum of 50 per workflow. These are useful when passing data from one action to another.
Trigger: This is where the workflow triggers are defined and configured.
Actions: The actions within the workflow are defined within this section of the schema.
Outputs: The outputs of each action are defined within the section of the schema.
In addition to the basic schema, you’ll have a variable called “$connections”.
The connection values can contain multiple connections, for various resources across the Azure platform. The values are added when you add a new connection via the UI. This is where it pays to build your initial workflow within the browser and not within Visual Studio. However, this presents another problem around tokenising which I will cover in further sections of this blog.
Logic apps have the capability to use Key Vault to secure connection strings and other key data. I would certainly recommend implementing Key Vault early in the development process as it is best practice Please refer to Microsoft documentation for further guidance.
Who Should Develop Logic Apps?
Logic apps are a simple and easy tool to use to design and create any integration for any size solution, so the question is, who should develop logic apps? I would say anyone who has some knowledge of how applications are architected and talk to each other. It all depends on how much experience the designer has as to how complex the workflow can be. In my own experience, workflow development has not been a difficult issue, but some of the blockers I have come across relate to the lack of integration into other systems or custom functionality required to complete the workflow.
For example, whilst working on a solution, I was unsure how we could integrate authentication into the flow. The problem I faced was getting authenticated against many AAD instances and then completing the flow. How can you keep the data secure and reuse the tokens? I developed an Azure Function to keep the configuration separate from the calling action and give me greater control over the implementation of the authentication mechanism. I also was able to reuse the same function in other child workflows.
Could Logic Apps be Part of a Domain Solution?
I came across the term Domain Driven Development (DDD) over a decade ago, but never got the opportunity to deep dive and develop a solution with the methodology, so my experience with DDD is very limited. From what I have experienced, using DDD with cloud technologies, I would say (in answer to the question “could Logic Apps be part of a domain solution?”) yes, it’s certainly possible. Especially around handling Azure Service Bus messages from one domain to another or handling interactions from an external source, whether its via web API or WCF. The ability to create custom functions can overcome any specific requirements to connect systems together.
We covered how to develop Logic Apps, and the benefits, but what are the downside in its current form?
I have highlighted from the Workflow Definition Language, connections are generated and hardcoded to the workflow, so what do you do if you want to deploy the workflow into multiple environments? This is where provisioning a workflow can be a painful process. During the development of the last project I worked on, the team discovered an issue with tokenising connection strings, specifically, how to extract the correct API connection string for a specific resource against an environment. Logic App API Connections are added to workflow and the resource group with the following format <Connection Type><Number>, for example ServiceBus1, ServiceBus2. This is not particularly useful when you wish to provision multiple connections to similar resources.
"StorageAccountId": "[concat('/subscriptions/', subscription().subscriptionId, '/providers/Microsoft.Web/locations/', resourceGroup().location, '/managedApis/azureblob')]"
There is one issue around this approach, tokenisation. One small change can be a lengthy process, which goes against the ethos of fast development, deployment and scalable solutions. I go into more details around this in the next section.
In the first iteration of a spike, we started with a large workflow encompassing all the necessary actions. Over time this became too difficult to manage, especially in the browser. If you’re zoomed in to a specific action within the browser and make a change, the browser will refresh and point to another part of the workflow that you’re not working on. This became very frustrating and unworkable. To alleviate this issue, I broke up the Logic App into smaller ones. This made the maintenance easier to manage and gave each Logic App a Single Point of Responsibility. The tokenisation of smaller workflows became an easier task to manage, and the team can resolve issues quickly. The workflow and deployment scripts can be added to source control and this provides controls around the development and release of new features.
I think Logic Apps, are a good piece of tech for orchestration on the Azure platform, however, it’s still evolving, and the process of development and deployment is not as straight forward as the documentation would lead you to believe. Once the deployment of a Logic App is more in line with how other resources are provisioned and deployed it could be become a useful tool within any user’s arsenal to develop/integrate solutions together. Knowing the limitations is half the battle, once you are aware you can allow for any additional time required for deployments. With no specific hardware to configure, the workflow is based on workload only. This is where Microsoft plan to take their new serverless architecture, on a cost per action plan.
The integration with Azure Functions is a nice touch for any custom work that needs to be carried out. I can only see this area getting better and better.

Justin shows us, yet again, that you don't need a glamorous Napa Valley address to make a concentrated, fruit-filled Cabernet. The 2007 vintage is indicative of this great vintage - spicy cherry, black plum, saddle leather and garrigue aromas create a tantalizing bouquet. In the mouth, the wine layers sultry black fruit, caramel and sweet American oak flavors that linger on the finish. Soft tannins keep this readily approachable.
- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics: green pepper-like aromas and black currant flavors among them, it is perhaps most prized for its ability to convey terroir, vintage and winemaking. A relatively new varietal, Cabernet Sauvignon started making inroads into the wines of the Médoc and Graves in the late-18th century. Today it is also dominant in the up-and-coming Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux and can also be found in Southwest France. It is the companion varietal to Sangiovese in Italy's Super Tuscans and is planted all over Europe, stretching to lesser-known winegrowing regions like Russia and Lebanon. In the Americas Cabernet Sauvignon has found champions in every nook and cranny of California and among winemakers in Washington, where it complements plantings of Merlot. In South America, Cab thrives in Chile, but can also be found in smaller amounts in Argentina and even in Mexico.
- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.
- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.
- Located about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this inland AVA enjoys a sunny and hot growing period while its seaside neighbors hang in the fog. Zinfandel is the traditional red grape of choice, though cabernet, chardonnay, and Rhône varietals are gaining favor. Most are made in a fruit-forward, early drinking style. | Justin shows us , yet again , that you do n't need a glamorous Napa Valley address to make a concentrated , fruit - filled Cabernet .

Focus is instead on online functionality and new games.
Hardware revisions are commonplace in the gaming industry, but according to a new report an updated model of Nintendo's Switch console won't be released this year. Instead, players hoping for an upgrade will have to wait until 2019 at the earliest.
Sources close to Nintendo told The Wall Street Journal that Nintendo hopes to drive sales this year not through new hardware, but through enhancing the console's online infrastructure before it goes premium, and another strong year of game releases.
Mario Tennis Aces, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Fire Emblem, a new Yoshi and more are among the new releases expected in 2018.
It comes off the back of a stellar first year for the console, which started with launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and ended with Super Mario Odyssey. Both featured in our top three overall games of the year.
Another major release for Switch this year is Nintendo Labo, the game-maker's offbeat, peripheral-led game that tasks players with building creations such as remote control cars and pianos from cardboard.
These creations, called Toy-Cons, can then be used in games and can be further tinkered with to create new contraptions only limited by the player's imaginations (and cardboard supplies). Suffice to say we were impressed when we went hands-on in February.
Switch has been an enormous and sorely-needed success for Nintendo following the bitterly disappointing sales of Wii U. The new device, which is both a home console and a handheld, has already outsold its predecessor, hitting nearly 15 million units sold in just ten months.
It's expected to hit 17 million before the financial year concludes at the end of March.
A hardware revision is likely to happen at some point. Nintendo has offered multiple iterations of past consoles, particularly its handhelds, and there are areas where the hardware could be improved.
For example, the Switch's internal storage, which is a paltry 32GB - smaller than some games - making additional SD cards a necessary purchase. There's also the possibility of a Switch capable of 4G connectivity, which would expand the reach of it as a portable. | Focus is instead on online functionality and new games .

If you’ve followed Silke Kitchens since our inception, you know that we are proud of a number of things. We’re proud that we offer some of the highest quality, German style kitchens at very competitive prices; we’re proud of the fact that we work so closely with a number of top-of-the-line companies; one of the things we’re most proud of, however, is the fact that creating and designing your dream kitchen with us is so phenomenally easy. One of the things that makes that process so easy is that we’re registered as a Siemens iQ Design Studio.
We’ve touched on our partnership with Siemens before, but as a brief reminder: Siemens are a German company with a finger in almost every kind of manufacturing field you can imagine, from fire safety equipment to medical equipment, although naturally it’s their kitchen appliance division we’re most interested in. Our partnership extends not only to providing a number of their ultra modern kitchen appliances in our kitchen packages, but also by adopting their iQ Design Studio model.
So, what exactly IS a Siemens iQ Design Studio, some of you might be asking yourselves? It’s fairly simple, really; a Siemens iQ Design Studio is a kitchen provider marked for it’s excellence by Siemens personally, staffed by design experts with full training in the companies wide range of appliances, and are more then willing to work closely with their clientele during the design brief stage. Many retailers that are assigned iQ Design Studio status also have live cooking appliance demonstrations within their showrooms! In essence, a Siemens iQ Design Studio-certified kitchen company offers it’s customers a personal, easy, but no less professional service that is practically unrivalled in both customer satisfaction, and the quality of the end result.
What, exactly, does being a Siemens iQ Design Studio mean for Silke, and by proxy your experience with us? Well, for starters, it allows us unparalleled access to a number of Siemens incredible appliances, and a number of our kitchen packages include Siemens-branded Ovens, Fridges, and Dishwashers to name just a few of. Secondly, as briefly touched upon in the previous paragraph, our designers are fully trained in the operation and installation of the Siemens appliances we offer- and that’s on top of the fact that our designers are experts in the field of kitchen design, too. In addition, our dedication to supplying only the most cutting edge appliances (going hand in hand with our ultramodern design philosophy) puts us in similar standing with Siemens, who themselves offer some of the most cutting edge appliances on the market. You can not only trust that the design experience will be easy, friendly, and readily understandable, but you can also trust that the end result of all the work will be both stylish and functional, no matter the amount of space or budget you’re working with.
And finally, one of the features of our design phase is the use of an ultra realistic, top-of-the-line 3D modelling program that ensures the plans we make for your kitchen are as close to the end result as is physically possible. Pairing that with the benefits that come with being a Siemens iQ Design Studio, and it’s a no-brainer as to why so many people choose to work with us over other kitchen providers.
As stated in the initial paragraph, we are proud of many things and rightly so, we believe. But perhaps what we’re most proud of above anything else is that with us, the sum of our parts; the design, the range of appliances and worktops, and the services we offer, are not only fantastic on their own, but combine to create something truly phenomenal. | If you ’ve followed Silke Kitchens since our inception , you know that we are proud of a number of things .

In one of the biggest political upsets this year, conservative lawyer Joe Miller toppled incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski in Alaska's GOP primary. Though Murkowski conceded defeat to the Sarah Palin endorsed candidate, she quickly flipped the script, launching a quixotic write-in campaign to keep her Senate seat. The initial reactions to her divisive move weren't kind, but moderate Republicans jumped on board and Murkowski's campaign became symbolic of the larger in-fighting between the GOP establishment and the Tea Party. The latest wave of polling now shows Murkowski "deadlocked" with Joe Miller, and ahead of Democrat Scott McAdams. Pundits are giving a second (or third or fourth) look at the possibility of the Alaskan Senator reclaiming her seat.
'Don't Count Her Out Yet' observes Jay Newton-Small at Time. "Miller's candidacy has provoked panic in the state and local employees' unions, including the firefighter, police and teachers' associations, and all of Alaska's native tribes," he figures. And while Murkowski would be the first candidate to win a write-in bid since Strom Thurmond in 1954, "She hails from a state known for voting with its wallet, and that wallet has been thin of late."
Polling This Race Will Be Difficult explains blogger Allahpundit at Hot Air. "Polls of this race are tricky twice over, once because Alaska is notoriously difficult to gauge and twice because the nature of Murkowski’s candidacy poses a dilemma for the pollster. Do you do it the way Scott Rasmussen does it, offering respondents a choice between Miller and McAdams to reflect the choices on the ballot and letting them volunteer Murkowski’s name instead? Or do you name all three candidates and ask if respondents will be 'writing in' Murkowski?"
The Whole Process Takes Tremendous Voter Education finds The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza who quotes Jean Craciun from Alaska-based Craciun Research. "You cannot entirely compensate for a write-in candidate and that's why the margin is significant in this case," Craciun told the Post. "We know the intent of voters at this point -- and more than 40% of Alaskans polled are with Lisa. Now it will be Lisa's job to teach Alaskans how to show their intent on Election Day."
One Big Caveat Politico's Andy Barr hedges, "While the polls are good news for Murkowski, neither survey was able to gauge the likelihood that voters will indeed write in Murkowski’s name on the ballot—or if they will be able to correctly do so in order for their vote to be counted." Still, she,"appears to be pulling enough Republicans away from Miller and Democrats from McAdams to make it a race."
Let's Look at the Upside writes pollster Nate Silver at The New York Times: "As we had noted earlier, it is probably the case that polls that treat write-in bids as though they are conventional ones overestimate their support — but it is very difficult to say how large the effect is."
Miller Has the Edge even though the most recent polls show that the incumbent has "essentially" pulled even, The American Spectator's Philip Klein isn't quite sure she can eke out a win: "One would have to think that Murkowski's name not being on the ballot will cost her a lot of votes, thus I'd still be inclined to give Miller the edge unless polls start to show Murkowski with a big lead."
It's Over Already declares blogger Ian Lazaran at Conservatives 4 Palin. "If Murkowski cannot get ahead of Miller even when pollsters include her name as an option, there's no way she'll ever be able to pull ahead as her name will not appear on the ballot in reality. Murkowski had previously effectively claimed that she would take the lead if her name was included in polling but her claims were proven false....So even under the most favorable poll that Murkowski could have asked for, she's still trailing Joe Miller." | In one of the biggest political upsets this year , conservative lawyer Joe Miller toppled incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski in Alaska 's GOP primary . Though Murkowski conceded defeat to the Sarah Palin endorsed candidate , she quickly flipped the script , launching a quixotic write - in campaign to keep her Senate seat . The initial reactions to her divisive move were n't kind , but moderate Republicans jumped on board and Murkowski 's campaign became symbolic of the larger in - fighting between the GOP establishment and the Tea Party . The latest wave of polling now shows Murkowski " deadlocked " with Joe Miller , and ahead of Democrat Scott McAdams . Pundits are giving a second ( or third or fourth ) look at the possibility of the Alaskan Senator reclaiming her seat .
' Do n't Count Her Out Yet ' observes Jay Newton - Small at Time . " Miller 's candidacy has provoked panic in the state and local employees ' unions , including the firefighter , police and teachers ' associations , and all of Alaska 's native tribes , " he figures . And while Murkowski would be the first candidate to win a write - in bid since Strom Thurmond in 1954 , " She hails from a state known for voting with its wallet , and that wallet has been thin of late . "
Polling This Race Will Be Difficult explains blogger Allahpundit at Hot Air . " Polls of this race are tricky twice over , once because Alaska is notoriously difficult to gauge and twice because the nature of Murkowski ’s candidacy poses a dilemma for the pollster . Do you do it the way Scott Rasmussen does it , offering respondents a choice between Miller and McAdams to reflect the choices on the ballot and letting them volunteer Murkowski ’s name instead ? Or do you name all three candidates and ask if respondents will be ' writing in ' Murkowski ? "
The Whole Process Takes Tremendous Voter Education finds The Washington Post 's Chris Cillizza who quotes Jean Craciun from Alaska - based Craciun Research . " You can not entirely compensate for a write - in candidate and that 's why the margin is significant in this case , " Craciun told the Post . " We know the intent of voters at this point -- and more than 40 % of Alaskans polled are with Lisa . Now it will be Lisa 's job to teach Alaskans how to show their intent on Election Day . "

Ayn Rand does provide much fodder for academics.
• Her testimony before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee.
Rand’s understanding of capitalism is, at best, conceptual. There is not a businessman, small or large, who does not judge his success or failure by his ability to meet payroll. Hurley went on to dismiss the TEA party. Despite her assertions, TEA partiers are not necessarily, as a rule or generally, Randians. They hunger for information and read a lot but Rand takes a back seat, and far to the rear at that, to the Framers, with whom the author of Atlas Shrugged, in turn, is not completely in sync. I’ve been to many a rally, right and left, in my 53 years on the planet and find the intellectual curiosity of the TEA partiers sets them apart from activists from across the ideological spectrum. | Ayn Rand does provide much fodder for academics .

Today three billion people earn less than $2 per day, and nearly one billion people suffer from malnutrition.
The world is facing unprecedented pressure to dramatically increase food production – by 70% by the year 2050 – to keep pace with population growth.
Farmers in Africa are the most affected by this food and nutrition crisis: 80% of agricultural production is derived from 300 million poor smallholder farmers. In fact, many poor farmers do not grow enough to feed their own families, and are thus affected as both producers and net food buyers.
Smallholder farmers in Africa historically have realized very low yields on their crops because they have limited access to quality inputs such as fertilizer, seeds, and irrigation. They often have limited education and lack access to basic infrastructure such as roads or electricity in order to access markets.
GAWA Capital is investing to provide for simple improvements in farming techniques, higher quality inputs and better access to credit can contribute to a substantial increase in productivity, resulting in more food and more income for more people. | Today three billion people earn less than $ 2 per day , and nearly one billion people suffer from malnutrition .

School has been out a month now and we have been experiencing so much, from learning about local history to zoo animals. It’s been one AWESOME summer adventure after another. Frito-Lay has been there all the way with their variety packs, making sure my kids are ready for fun. Frito-Lay sponsored this post so I could share with you our summer zoo experience as well as an offer available through their partner, AZA, that’s too great to not share, but all opinions are my own.
I will say that no matter where we have visited, the zoo is always my favorite place to go. The zoo is a great day for everyone, it’s not just a kid trip but an educational experience for the whole family. The zoo is great because we can learn about the animals and watch animals that, if not for the zoo, we would never have had an opportunity to see.
The zoo or aquarium is a great place to take the family for a summer adventure. There are wonderful AZA-accredited zoos probably closer to you than you think. You can find a local AZA-accredited zoo here. There are ones I didn’t even know about, close enough for us to visit more often than we have been able to as well as ones that we have loved for years. Are you ready for a family adventure? With specially marked Frito-Lay variety packs, you can get a FREE kid’s pass to take on the adventure at a local AZA accredited zoo!
From koalas to alligators, the kids were awestruck the entire time. If it hadn’t been so hot we could have stayed all day long. We visited Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, South Carolina. It’s a really nice zoo, full of fun exhibits and hands on activities.
My kids love to pretend to be animals. My youngest is always one animal or another, barking, growling, pecking…. It’s so much fun. Frito-Lay understands that fun and you too can get in on the action and showcase your wild side by talking a picture of your family (or yourself, no judging here) mimicking your favorite animals and upload it to Frito-Lay Zoo Fun site for a chance to win a trip to Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas! Visit http://fritolayzoofun.com/#rules for complete sweepstakes details.
My choice would be the elephant but I do a killer monkey impersonation. The kids say I can sound like an actual monkey. I would have conversed with my fellow monkeys while at the zoo but I was afraid of what they would do with the kids once they carted me off to the local loony bin.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced that 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for allegedly hacking the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and the Hillary Clinton campaign in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election. The 12 individuals are facing an 11-count indictment which includes charges of conspiracy, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering.
Rosenstein said Russia's GRU military intelligence service stole and released documents after using malicious computer codes to compromise the Democrats' computer systems. He explained that the intelligence officers took the documents and leaked them using the aliases of Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks.
Rosenstein said that federal prosecutors believe that the Russian hackers worked with Americans, but added that there was no evidence that the Americans realized they were coordinating with Russian intelligence officers. | Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced that 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for allegedly hacking the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee , the Democratic National Committee , and the Hillary Clinton campaign in the lead - up to the 2016 presidential election .

When I started writing this post last Thursday, I ended with a rupture, that is the rupture of a cyst in my ovaries which led me to be a no show at the Air Force Marathon in Dayton a couple years ago.
It took me about another year to string together any consistent running, but when I did I started training for the Xenia Marathon in 2015. I was in my second year of graduate school. I was in a relationship that was not great, not to mention had plenty of other unnecessary drama going on. And I trained for the marathon, but the whole thing was a slog. It was not like the first time where I felt non-stop energy, like I could go on forever.
There are a lot of reasons for this, but I’ve always handled stress poorly like as in high blood pressure, ulcers, migraines, etc. So I went to go get a Ph.D. Go figure, huh?
But I digress — at this moment of my life training for that marathon was probably the only good thing I had going for me. I was in a state of being two feet off the ground at all times making terrible, I mean terrible decisions, and felt incredibly alienated and lonely (see aforementioned bad decisions, bad relationships). But, I could run. And I was so grateful. I see it as a happy regularity during a time that was mortifying in its chaos. And it was beautiful.
The DJ played Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys as I crossed through the finish line. I was not as in shape as I was in 2013, but I still made it happen. It was an amazing moment, but to be honest I could not enjoy it. The stress of life, from just regular graduate school (good stress) to the fact that I felt like a path I was on was beginning to suffocate me (bad stress) made the moment feel incongruous. It was hard and the day is marred by my wrecked personal life squeezing the joy out of what should have been an impressive moment.
I trained a few more times after Xenia, usually ending with injuries. I broke up with the bad boyfriend and began dating Bruno. I focused on my personal life. I focused on school, learning French, reading as much as humanly possible. I missed running, but I did not want it to break my heart again.
Bruno and I ran a half-marathon together and I felt the bug again. I wanted to run again. Now that my personal life felt good again, I wanted to have a running life again. And I worked hard. But I still keep getting injured, usually a pesky hip, a calf, etc.
Half-marathon with 15 minute PR!
I have wondered if I am being too precious. Not running has not made these injuries better and I feel happier when running. So, 2018 is the return. And so far, so good. As I mentioned yesterday, my IT Band has been giving me some grief, but I feel confident that with consistent strength and yoga these problems should work themselves out.

But , I could run . And I was so grateful . I see it as a happy regularity during a time that was mortifying in its chaos . And it was beautiful .
The DJ played Elvira by the Oak Ridge Boys as I crossed through the finish line . I was not as in shape as I was in 2013 , but I still made it happen . It was an amazing moment , but to be honest I could not enjoy it . The stress of life , from just regular graduate school ( good stress ) to the fact that I felt like a path I was on was beginning to suffocate me ( bad stress ) made the moment feel incongruous . It was hard and the day is marred by my wrecked personal life squeezing the joy out of what should have been an impressive moment .
I trained a few more times after Xenia , usually ending with injuries . I broke up with the bad boyfriend and began dating Bruno . I focused on my personal life . I focused on school , learning French , reading as much as humanly possible . I missed running , but I did not want it to break my heart again .
Bruno and I ran a half - marathon together and I felt the bug again . I wanted to run again . Now that my personal life felt good again , I wanted to have a running life again . And I worked hard . But I still keep getting injured , usually a pesky hip , a calf , etc .
Half - marathon with 15 minute PR !
I have wondered if I am being too precious . Not running has not made these injuries better and I feel happier when running . So , 2018 is the return . And so far , so good . As I mentioned yesterday , my IT Band has been giving me some grief , but I feel confident that with consistent strength and yoga these problems should work themselves out .
Here ’s to Running : A History , Pt . 3 being one filled with triumph and joy ! | 634 | 79 |

British Steel is in talks with the UK Government to secure a £100 million loan to meet EU emissions rules.
The company could have used carbon credits to mitigate the bill under the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), however, free carbon permits have currently been suspended by the EU until a Brexit deal is confirmed.
The EU ETS allows industrial polluters to use carbon credits to pay for previous year’s emissions or trade them to raise money, with each free permit allowing a company to emit a tonne – or 1,000kg – of carbon dioxide.
British Steel, which directly employs 5,000 people, has until the end of April to comply with the EU emissions rules or face fines. | British Steel is in talks with the UK Government to secure a £ 100 million loan to meet EU emissions rules .

As an orthodontist, and considering the ever-evolving alternative portaging of orthodontic treatment options available to consumers, I am constantly searching for the best way to deliver beautiful and healthy smiles to my patients. The services that BidMySmile provided surprised me immensely, as they immediately highlighted these important qualities of my practice: Convenience, Transparency, and Simplified Access to Care.
BidMySmile is a Virtual Orthodontic Consultation Service that provides parents and patients with the pertinent information they need to know about their case in order to make an informed choice; including treatment time, insurance benefits, payment plans and prices associated with each type treatment they’re considering (metal braces, clear/ceramic braces, clear aligners and retainers). Now, all I need to do is simply provide online quotes to patients, and that is the most efficient way for me to get well-informed, pre-qualified and motivated patients started in treatment. It is also worth noting, BidMySmile only works with residency-certified Orthodontic Specialists and does not facilitate quotes for treatment between patients and general dentists.
The virtual consultation service saves me time as an orthodontist because I won't be making unnecessary appointments and consultations for patients who ultimately may not be interested in my services. But the benefits of this service aren’t just for me – virtual orthodontic consultations also save parents and patients valuable time, since they don’t have to come to my office to get the information they need about my practice. Additionally, they will be able to choose the option that best suits them in terms of treatment type, treatment duration, price, payment options and, they will start when they have all this information and are completely informed and ready.
If you are an orthodontist like me, and you want to know more about how BidMySmile works, you’ll want to start here. Then, create an account for each location you want associated with the BidMySmile Network. That way, you’ll get patients who are informed, accessible and ready to work with you. By the way, your profile isn’t searchable or viewable to the general public. It’s only accessible by registered parents and patients – those to whom you have provided a quote.
Before you take full advantage of the network, you’ll need to provide payment information for the monthly subscription. You also want to set some time aside to fill out your practice profile. I found out that the more information that you give on your profile, the higher chance you’ll have of winning bids and getting more patients referred through the service. Patients aren’t going to trust you if they don’t know you, after all.
Then, open the bid request, and view the patient profile and pictures.
If you think that the patient is the perfect one for you, send and submit a Bid-Offer, and you will receive an email to confirm the request.
From there, the orthodontist selection process is up to the patient. In this final step, the patients receive an email indicating that they have a Bid-Offer to review. If a patient selects your quote, then congratulations! You will receive an email that says that your quote was accepted.
When you get that email, have your treatment coordinator log into your account as soon as possible, review the patient information, call them up and schedule the in-person consultation. The scheduling process is that much shorter because many of the questions a patient may have had about treatment, the virtual consultation service and your profile has already answered for them! The choice to move forward with treatment once the parent and patient visit my office and meet me in person, is non-binding for the patients and the quote I provided through the virtual ortho consult service is not guaranteed until the patient is fully examined and proper records are made in order to confirm the online diagnosis. This is a win-win, all around.
BidMySmile gave me the best-of-both-worlds solution I always dreamed of having. I now work directly with people who are 100% ready to start orthodontic treatment. My patients now work with an orthodontist who offers a transparent, no-hassle portrait of herself and her practice. The trust we share today has generated optimum success for my practice and most importantly, optimum convenience and results for the brand-new smiles of my happy patients.
Whether it is metal or ceramic braces, clear aligners or retainers, my practice now provides personalized online quotes and personalized services that better suits the needs of patients and ourselves, as an orthodontic specialty practice.

In 1996 Beverly Hills: 90210 star Brian Austin Green dropped his middle name and recorded a rap album under the shorter, blander moniker Brian Green. Around the same time, Green’s 90210 character, David Silver, also started rapping, blurring the line between fictional privileged white rapper and actual privileged white rapper. With songs such as “You Send Me” and “1-2-Threez,” it’s easy to see why Green’s music career never took off. Comparatively, even Vanilla Ice seemed talented. | In 1996 Beverly Hills : 90210 star Brian Austin Green dropped his middle name and recorded a rap album under the shorter , blander moniker Brian Green .

Chaparral High‘s sophomore quarterback Jack Miller had something to prove, and what better way to do it than to direct a 33-7 blow-out over a defending state champion that had won 17 of its last 18 games?
Jack Miller III is trying to live up to the hype that began to build when he hit the national news after getting an offer earlier this summer from Ohio State — as a 14-year-old freshman. He also has offers from both University of Arizona and Arizona State and a handful of others, but that offer from the 2014 national champion Buckeyes at such an early age put a target on his back for every other college recruiter in the nation.
But his sophomore debut this season didn’t match up to the expectations.
His first start of the season came in a humiliating 54-16 loss when the Firebirds traveled to California to play Valencia High School on Sept. 8. Miller completed just 16 of his 33 pass attempts and was sacked seven times.
However, it was a totally different story last Friday when Miller and his new teammates rolled over Gilbert’s Williams Field High School as if the defending 5A state champion was little more than a small speed bump on the way to a deep run in the state playoffs this season.
There were no sacks this time, and Miller threw for 162 yards and three touchdowns and then added another TD with his feet to post the 33-7 win. All three passing scores were to different receivers, with sophomore wide receiver Tommy Christakos putting the first points on the board at the start of the first quarter when Miller found him open in the back of the end zone. Junior wide receiver Marcus Norvell II and senior running back Conlan Carey added the other TD receptions.
The Firebirds ran off their entire 33 points before Williams Field was able to put up its lone score.
Williams Field had strung together 17 wins, stretching back to the final game of the 2015 season, before getting beat the week before by Verrado High. Now the Blackhawks are 3-2 and in jeopardy of posting their worse won-loss record since 2011 when they went 8-3. For the last five seasons they have averaged 11 wins.
The Williams Field game was Chaparral’s fourth game of the season, but only Miller’s second appearance. His debut didn’t happen until Valencia because his eligibility to play for the Firebirds this season was being held up while awaiting the outcome of an appeal to the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA).
For the first two games, senior Davis Chauhan took the snaps, passing for 416 yards and five touchdowns.
Miller had played his freshman year at Scottsdale Christian Academy, where he broke a couple of state records, but an incident involving the death of a family friend who was killed while crossing the street to watch him play at SCA created emotional issues for the youngster and his family didn’t want him returning this year to face the reminders of a traumatic incident. The dual-threat QB threw for 3,653 yards and 53 touchdowns, and rushed for another 1,200 yards as a freshman.
So the player selected by 247 Sports as the nation’s top quarterback in the Class of 2020 decided to take his considerable talents to Chaparral. Under the AIA guidelines, that would normally require sitting out the first five games of the next season. Miller’s hardship request was denied at first and his family entered an appeal to the ruling, resulting in a delay that caused him to miss the first two games while the appeal was considered, a 28-27 loss to Desert Mountain High School and a 24-20 win over Horizon High.
After the Millers hired an attorney to represent their son in the appeal presentation to the AIA Board, it was finally decided that the transfer was not motivated by sports and Miller was cleared to play by the third game.
Chaparral’s unexpected gift means more than success this season. Miller is already into his second season of varsity ball and has 2+ years to still contribute to head coach Thomas Lewis. The ‘gift’ arrived at just the right time, too, since Lewis lost a three-year starting QB to graduation last spring.
At 6’3″ and 205 pounds, the youngster is already big enough to play Division I, and has all the tools to go with the size…the arm strength to throw deep, impressive accuracy, the ability to run when needed, and composure beyond his years.
Miller never had the luxury of playing under the recruiting radar. And now he has three more years to deal with the scrutiny and media attention that is sure to follow.
That’s a lot to handle for a kid who hasn’t been to his first prom yet. | Chaparral High‘s sophomore quarterback Jack Miller had something to prove , and what better way to do it than to direct a 33 - 7 blow - out over a defending state champion that had won 17 of its last 18 games ?

COLLEGE STATION – Riley McQuaid, a sophomore on the No. 16 Texas A&M women’s tennis team, was named to the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team. In a continuing effort to recognize the accomplishments of student-athletes beyond the field of competition, the SEC once again highlighted a Community Service Team for women’s tennis for the 2018-19 season.
All league-sponsored sports have had a Community Service Team since 2004, with at-large teams for men’s and women’s sports being chosen from 1999-2003.
In addition to being a team co-captain of the nationally ranked women’s tennis team as a sophomore, McQuaid has participated in several philanthropic activities since coming to College Station. She has completed the Horizon Leadership Program, served as the liaison to the 12th Man Foundation’s 1922 Fund partnership and earned the role of Huddle Leader at the 2018 Traditions Night. Additionally, McQuaid served as the team representative to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for the 2018-19 academic year and has volunteered her time at the Brazos Valley Food Bank and Big Event, the nation’s largest student run day of service.
Up next, McQuaid and her teammates host the SEC Tournament, April 17-21 and begin play on Thursday at 2:00 p.m. (CT) against the winner of the matchup between Auburn and Mississippi State. | COLLEGE STATION – Riley McQuaid , a sophomore on the No . 16 Texas A&M women ’s tennis team , was named to the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team .

metadata.dc.description.abstractother: This work seeks to identify the symbolic power of the school uniform at the Federal Fluminense Institute, located in the Center of the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes. The Fluminense Federal Institute of Campos is a teaching institution of great prestige in the North Fluminense region, allowing its uniform to be easily identified by society. Through semi-structured interviews with different members of the institution, I could observe that some meanings emerged, which were repeated in the interviewees' statements. I decided to organize these lines so that it was possible to highlight the most important meanings for the construction of the research object proposed here. Thus, the meanings addressed in this work are: pride, prestige, equality, ethics and identity. All the interviewees attributed at least one of these meanings to the uniform and, in this way; it was possible to see how the uniform contributed to the construction of their identities.

The Fluminense Federal Institute of Campos is a teaching institution of great prestige in the North Fluminense region , allowing its uniform to be easily identified by society . Through semi - structured interviews with different members of the institution , I could observe that some meanings emerged , which were repeated in the interviewees ' statements . I decided to organize these lines so that it was possible to highlight the most important meanings for the construction of the research object proposed here . Thus , the meanings addressed in this work are : pride , prestige , equality , ethics and identity . All the interviewees attributed at least one of these meanings to the uniform and , in this way ; it was possible to see how the uniform contributed to the construction of their identities . In order to give more foundation to the qualitative research . The history of the institution and its regiments was investigated to understand the regulatory norms regarding the uniform . | 202 | 22 |
