One of the handiest tools that elementary OS includes is the powerful email client. In this post, we will teach you how to use the email client on elementary OS.
There are currently numerous email service providers. Many not only limit themselves to this but also extend their offers to other services. For example, Google. If you open an email account with them, it will also give you access to the rest of the services, such as, Maps or Drive (Google’s cloud storage).
On the other hand, it is good to note that for these companies, an email server is an essential part of their business model. They can advertise and market quickly, cheaply and with an unimaginable reach.
Another aspect to keep in mind is the web services of email. The majority of providers make available to us customers on the web to manage the email. Most are very efficient but lack advanced options such as multi-account support or encryption. That’s what desktop clients are for. And of course, elementary OS has one built-in. There are also other email clients you can use for the purpose, for example, Thunderbird.
elementary OS is a system aimed at novice users. But also to professionals who do not want complications when using the system. For this reason, it has an email desktop client installed and perfectly integrated with the rest of the system.
Before going any further into the elementary OS email client, it’s good to say what a desktop email client is. In a quick and easy way, it’s a computer program that allows you to manage one or more email accounts in the same application. It has many additional features, for example, encryption and more.
When you open the application for the first time, the first thing you will be asked to do is add an account. To make things easier, you already have some settings set up for Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
But if your email provider is not those, or if the mail server is institutional, we can add the configuration data manually.
Once you have logged into the application with your credentials, you will be able to see three columns, the first where the message folders are, the second the list of messages and the third the content of the message. Just click on a message and it will displayed.
Using the elementary OS mail client is very easy, in the toolbar are all the possibilities. You can send and receive emails, delete them, forward them and label them as important.
You can also check the applications preferences. On the main menu.
Email is a vital tool today, so it is important to have a desktop client according to our needs. In addition, elementary OS has one very simple to use but that may be enough for most. So installing and using email client on elementary OS becomes very easy and comfortable to use.

My biggest accomplishment is our portfolio of happy clients. I am honored to have helped 100’s of families sell or buy a home. When you become my client, you get the benefit of a professional, with a singular focus- to help you achieve your real estate goals. I work hard to prove that you have made the right choice when you hire me, and know you will be impressed with my knowledge and service. You don’t have to take my word for it though- Take a look at what my clients have to say!
Brian Yelder was such a great help in purchasing our first home. He helped with constant updates on home listings. He kept us on track with what house would be best for our family. He kept us in the know of what was going on through the process. Everything was done thoroughly and efficient. We are so happy in our new home. I would highly recommend Brian Yelder. We're recommending him to friends & family.
Brian worked well with me as an out-of-town buyer. Sellers were also out-of-towners. The "process" is so extensive that covering all the paperwork is almost impossible, Brian kept the paper coming and I kept it going. With the help of the mortgage company as well as the title company, we got the job done.
Although we dd not purchase a house thru Mr. Yelder yet, we will certainly call on him in the future. He gave us a wide range of homes in the area we were seeking, however our plans changed and were unable to purchase at this time. We would love to work with Brian again.
Brian and the Yelder Group took me around the valley and showcased tremendous luxury homes in the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley area to give me an idea of what luxury homes look like. It was a tremendous experience riding around in Brian's comfortable, very classy vehicle, his presence is warm, welcoming and the homes were absolutely beautiful! The vast knowledge he showcased not only in the real estate market but his business mind is contagious and something I valued during our trip. I like his expertise because he's straight forward honest when need be, polite and answered all questions I had without hesitancy. Truly the epitome of professionalism and there's no team I want to work with in the future for any of the real estate business except Brian and The Yelder Group.

Do you ever stop to think about the person you have become – your self-identity? Our identity changes as we move through our life stages and we have so many influences impacting on it which we may not even realise. We are busy being mothers, wives/partners, daughters, pet owners, nieces, cousins, godmothers, friends, managers, business owners, supervisors, colleagues, mentors, team members, etc, etc….!
Days, months and years pass so quickly and we can very easily get absorbed into playing these roles according to other people’s demands, needs, rules and ideals; but what about our own needs and who we have become? Is this who we really want to be?
Is this really the person I want to be?
Is my identity aligned with my values and life goals?
Do I even have goals and know what’s really important to me?
After contemplating these questions you might ask yourself; have I become a bit lost while going through this journey of life? If this is the case, rest assured you are not alone; and there is something you can do about it.
And don’t worry – doing something about it doesn’t need to be as drastic as no longer playing a certain role (or roles!); but rather you can re-define these roles you play within terms that are more aligned with your values and goals.
It’s you taking control of your life and being the person you want to be!
A good starting point is to think about what is really important to you and what you really want in life – in your relationships, health, career, finances, and personal development. Don’t think about these in the context of your current roles, what others expect, or what you may think is or isn’t possible. Think big picture and aim high; be bold!
Where to now you ask?
First of all – identify opportunities where you can set yourself some goals that will enable you to achieve what you really want in life. It could be goals related to focusing on returning to work, or a new career path or launching your own business; or some fitness and health goals; or even some financial goals to set you and your family up for the future.
Then think about each of the roles you play and determine where you may need to make some modifications to these roles so you can achieve your goals and be the person you want to be while still being an amazing mother, daughter, wife, friend, etc….
Create the identity for yourself that you deserve so you can live your best life. You can do this.

Because of the dip in the oil market a few years back, Agilyx pivoted to PS recycling, producing styrene monomer for reuse by resin makers.
Agilyx retrofitted parts of the Tigard facility originally set up for mixed waste and the plastic-to-oil process to instead perform PS-to-styrene-monomer production.
Agilyx workers gather PS material that consumers and businesses bring to the facility.
As a result of proprietary technology, Agilyx believes its monomer made from recycled PS is as good as, if not better than, virgin styrene monomer.
A lot can happen in 14 years. Agilyx in Tigard, Ore., was founded to develop hydrocarbon recycling technologies that convert mixed plastics to high-quality crude oil (otherwise known as plastics-to-oil).
Around 2008, the company’s batch pyrolysis technology was commercialized, and by 2012, Agilyx synthetic crude oil became a U.S.-registered synthetic chemical. Agilyx went on to produce and sell more than 800,000 gal of oil from waste plastics.
Agilyx expanded its technology platform by developing what’s reportedly the first circular chemical-recycling system capable of converting waste polystyrene back into styrene monomer.
The company began testing different plastic streams on its pyrolysis unit that was previously used to produce the plastics-to-oil and eventually settled on PS. Joe Vaillancourt, CEO of Agilyx, says PS is a distinct polymer with a high need for recycling, and that focusing specifically on the material is less complicated than working with lots of different plastics.
“We have a fantastic technology. We know how to take waste plastic to make high-quality crude oil, and we had a ‘eureka’ moment,” says Brian Moe, v.p. of operations. Polystyrene lately has developed a bad reputation in the public eye for being perceived as unrecyclable. Even though some PS is recycled, it’s not on a large scale.
This is where Agilyx saw the market need.
When the company decided to change courses, it retrofitted parts of the Tigard facility that was originally set up for mixed waste and the plastic-to-oil process to instead perform PS-to-styrene-monomer production. While the pyrolysis and front-end systems are the same for mixed-waste plastics and PS, the back-end cleaning trains are different. About 50 “tweaks and enhancements” were made to the company’s equipment to be able to convert PS to styrene monomer. In 2016, the company had its first successful styrene run in Tigard.
Moe says that for the process to be truly effective, Agilyx needed to go upstream to manage the plastic feedstock itself. Particularly with PS, very few recycling programs allow the material into the recycle stream. “We found by us creating innovation around the supply chain, how we source and pre-process the material allows us to control the output of our product,” Moe says.
Agilyx can handle all types of foam PS materials, including cups and food containers that might still have residue left on them. The company reached out directly to businesses and the general consumer market to obtain the material. Outside of the Tigard plant is a drop-off bin where consumers can leave their waste polystyrene.
We have lots of people dropping off the material to our facility and a lot of people have the desire to make sure it gets recycled.
Vaillancourt says Portland is the ideal community to launch such an initiative because there’s plenty of community engagement and they’ve had around 100 people a day drop material off.
Agilyx worked with local supermarket chain Fred Meyer to launch a pilot program to recycle PS foam from seven of the Fred Meyer stores in the metropolitan Portland area. A company called B-Line, an urban delivery service, agreed to use its fleet of electric-assisted tricycles to collect PS from two of the downtown stores. This is considered an innovative collaboration in which a major store chain works with a “final mile” logistics company to deliver waste PS for recycling.
Last year, Agilyx received a $50,000 grant from the Foam Recycling Coalition to purchase a densifier, allowing for more recycling of foam PS. Adding a densifier at the front end of the operation will allow for more efficient recycling and processing of the material.
Once Agilyx receives the material, the firm converts it to liquid styrene through pyrolysis. The liquid styrene is then sent to a styrene refiner, and the refined styrene is shipped to a resin manufacturer. AmSty in The Woodlands, Texas, and Ineos Styrolution, Aurora, Ill., produce PS materials using Agilyx’s refined styrene.
“With our product, there are no restrictions since we are creating monomer that’s as good as virgin, or in some cases better than virgin. There’s no downgrade in the product,” Moe says.
Agilyx’s plant, which opened in April 2018, became the world’s first commercial-scale, closed-loop chemical recycling process for PS. It can recycle up to 10 tons/day of previously unrecoverable polystyrene waste and produce high-quality styrene monomer.
“Chemical recycling and innovative recycling solutions for PS will enable us to reuse collected post-consumer PS waste in our manufacturing processes to produce high-quality virgin PS. This represents a great opportunity to save valuable resources and avoid waste ending up in landfills,” says Ricardo Cuetos, v.p. of standard products at Ineos Styrolution America.
Prior to joining Agilyx, Vaillancourt’s background included 15 years with Waste Management Inc., and then working with private equity in the energy and industrial sectors, including participating in the financing and commercialization of more than 15 environmental technology companies. He says Agilyx occupies an interesting position between the petrochemical and recycling industries, two areas that don’t typically have a lot of crossover.
Agilyx believes its chemical recycling pathway is a true circular and sustainable solution for waste PS and serves as a foundation to pursue other discrete polymer recycling pathways.

The city lost a laptop. We have some questions.
Late Friday, the city of Houston revealed a laptop stolen from the car of a city employee on February 2 may have contained sensitive personal information including heath care data of city employees. It went by as a relative blip on the Friday evening radar. After all, it's the weekend and a stolen laptop is a rather bland occurrence as crimes in the big city go.
But, given the fact that the laptop was city property and likely contained a bunch of information on it related to city employees, it not only disturbing, it raises serious questions about the entire incident simply from a technological standpoint. We could also ask why the city decided to release the information late on a Friday, but we all know the answer to that one. And it absolutely should raise the debate over why the government's technology infrastructure, particularly at the state and local level, is so outdated if it is indeed there to protect employees and its citizenry. For now, we have a few basic tech questions.
How well protected was the laptop in question?
The most basic form of protection for most computers is a password. In the case of a city computer with sensitive data, we would hope that included not only requirements for strong passwords on both the machine itself and on any software or database that could compromise the data. But, that is unlikely. Anyone who has worked in any level of IT services knows the biggest security threats to any organization are its employees. Viruses acquired through sketchy emails or banned websites as well as overly weak passwords are enemy of information security people everywhere.
It would be interesting to know what security was in place on the stolen laptop and if the passwords used by the employee in question was better than "123456," which is, incidentally, the most commonly used password on the internet.
What exactly was on it that would constitute a security breach?
Why does the city use laptops in the first place?
One of the first rules of security is not allowing data to be portable unless absolutely necessary. The minute you put sensitive information onto a laptop and then put that into a car, you are asking for trouble. We are assuming this was a COPY of said data, but regardless, it should never end up on a laptop that can leave a secure building.
In the press release, the city said, "The City has reinforced strong measures already in place to protect against breaches. HR professionals are trained not to remove laptops from City offices unless any sensitive data is encrypted." Well, two things here. First, why would they be allowed to remove them AT ALL? Why not switch to desktops and bolt those bastards to the desks? Second, how are you trusting employees to recognize the need for encryption let alone actually deploy it? And what kind of encryption are we talking about because there are lots of options that may not be enough.
If the laptop did contain actual hard data, why isn't that stored on a server instead of on individual computers?
This is the one that makes us most uncomfortable. Why in God's name would a bunch of sensitive employee and police information not be stored in a secure facility instead of on hard drives? Then, if you want to distribute laptops, you can simply add software that secures their login to the main server from remote locations without actually having the data on the machine they are using. It is pretty much how nearly everyone outside of a ridiculous espionage movie does it — no, the CIA doesn't routinely carry around lists of undercover agents on thumb drives.
It makes sense that the city might want employees to have access to work when not in the office, but those computers should come equipped only with access and not the actual data itself. That's computer security 101.
What exactly is the protocol in situations like this?
This is the one that most worries us. What are they doing to protect those who may have been exposed? It better be more than a free credit monitoring service because if one person's info gets stolen, they will need more than just a monitoring service to fix it and the city could be liable for the costs associated with any losses. Never mind the fact that police case information, which could compromise investigations and even put lives at risk, may have been involved. We certainly hope it didn't take the city 21 days to alert employees who may have been exposed. In the world of data theft, 21 days may as well be 21 years. The city has a lot to answer for and if that sensitive data really does get sold onto the dark web or ends up in the hands of credit thieves, there will be a lot more questions to answer and many of them may come in depositions instead of through the media.

Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a patent application from Apple that describes a method of automatically routing audio to different speakers on an electronic device, based upon its orientation. This may be used in the long-rumoured iPad Pro which is said to include additional speakers on the sides of the device.
The patent, entitled “ORIENTATION-BASED AUDIO” describes a method for outputting audio based on an orientation of an electronic device, or video shown by the device. The audio may be mapped to a set of speakers using either or both of the device and video orientation to determine which speakers receive certain audio channels. This appears to back up recent rumours that an iPad Pro with multiple speaker orientations may be on the cards in 2015.
The rise of portable electronic devices has provided unprecedented access to information and entertainment. Many people use portable computing devices, such as smart phones, tablet computing devices, portable content players, and the like to store and play back both audio and audiovisual content. For example, it is common to digitally store and play music, movies, home recordings and the like.
Audio is routed to the speakers based on device orientation.
Many modern portable electronic devices may be turned by a user to re-orient information displayed on a screen of the device. As one example, some people prefer to read documents in a portrait mode while others prefer to read documents shown in a landscape format. And many users will turn an electronic device on its side while watching widescreen video to increase the effective display size of the video.
Many current electronic devices, even when re-oriented in this fashion, continue to output audio as if the device is in a default orientation. That is, left channel audio may be omitted from the same speakers regardless of whether or not the device is turned or otherwise re-oriented; the same is true for right channel audio and other audio channels.
The patent describes methods for routing audio dynamically.
Apple’s invention could drastically enhance the audio experience, especially when playing games. It remains to be seen whether the patent will make it into an of the company’s products.
The patent seems particularly relevant to the much-rumoured iPad Pro. That device is supposed to have additional speakers that function in multiple orientations. It seems like the patent is intended to be used in just such as device.
Apple credits Martin E. Johnson (Los Gatos, CA), Ruchi Goel (San Jose, CA) and Darby E. Hadley (Los Gatos, CA) as the inventors of U.S. patent application number 20150023533.
Apple applies for and is granted many patents every week. Some of the most interesting recently include a patent for display-based speakers and another for flexible electronic devices.

My first step in expanding the competition was to validate the savings from the current program. I needed to determine whether the fume hoods were still saving the amount of energy that the competition intended. After locating a number of new labs where "shut the sash" could potentially make an impact, I decided to compare fume hood management between the labs.
Between February and April 2015, I worked with Wendy Chen, a graduate student at Harvard Extension School to test the hypothesis that the Shut the Sash program was the optimal method in making fume hood operation more efficient. I collected building management system (BMS) data from several buildings, and utilizing the talents of the graduate student we compared the results. We also had to make some generalizations on fume hood operational costs. With the help of Siemens engineers and building managers, we determined that the "average fume hood," has a cost of $7.43 per CFM of exhaust per year. Obviously some fume hoods save more than others by closing the sashes, but for the sake of this study we normalized the operational cost.

During the third general assembly, held at the end of March in Maastrich (The Netherlands), the results of the first pilot of the platform were presented. This included three informal services (News, Events, Weather) and two cognitive games, which were tested by 300 people over 60 from three different countries: Cyprus, Slovenia and Romania (100 people per country). Although the contents of the applications were of great interest to the participants, they reported numerous difficulties in interacting with television, especially using the command pointer.
Currently, new informal services are being developed and will be incorporated into the platform for the second pilot, which will begin next August. These new services are oriented to the promotion of physical activity and healthy life, in addition to improving the autonomy and the interaction of the elderly with their environment: Wikipedia, Agenda, Maintenance at home and Tracker.
This second version of the platform will also have formal services for the control of certain medical parameters (tension, weight, blood glucose, etc.). In addition, for the services already presented, we will include usability improvements taking into account the opinion of older: lighter colors, larger fonts, use of cursors to navigate instead of pointer, etc.

THE B-MOVIE NEWS VAULT: Scream Factory's 2018 Release Calendar!
2017 was a lousy year overall, but a darned good one for Scream Factory, as well as its sister company Shout Select, and parent company Shout! Factory (who brought Mystery Science Theater 3000 back from the dead)! As we look to the not-too-distant future of 2018, it looks like Scream Factory is going to be delivering a really good mix of highly requested movies, along with some forgotten films and a few obscure titles!
As I've done for the past few years, I'll be keeping close tabs on my favorite genre label, and updating this post as I continue to get more news and updates! I'll also be adding in titles from Shout Select and Shout! Factory as well, that may be of interest to fans of Cult, Horror, Sci-Fi, and Exploitation cinema!
Note: All release dates are subject to change, and I shall do my very best to keep things as accurate as possibly as the months tick by!

Todd Hunter has been sober for two-and-a-half years.
The 47-year-old Appleton man credits his sobriety in part to an alcohol program that will soon be available to convicted drunk drivers across the state.
After Hunter was convicted of his third drunken driving offense in 2007, his attorney suggested he participate in the Safe Streets Treatment Option Program, known as SSTOP. While he initially was leaning towards serving jail time, Hunter said he realized he had a problem with alcohol and that the yearlong program might help him address it.
Hunter is one of 192 people who have successfully completed SSTOP, the alcohol component of Winnebago County’s Safe Streets Initiative, since it began three years ago. Another 150 people are currently going through the program.
The program will now be expanded statewide after Gov. Jim Doyle signed a drunken driving bill Tuesday. The changes take effect July 1.
SSTOP, which was launched as a pilot program in December 2006, allows OWI offenders who are convicted of their second or third drunken-driving offense to participate in a probation and treatment program in exchange for a reduced jail sentence.
Under current law, judges outside of Winnebago County have not been allowed to sentence drunk drivers to probation until the fourth offense.
Having that treatment and probation option available to second and third time offenders is a step towards addressing the alcohol issue that exists in Wisconsin, said Michael Olig, the Winnebago County SSTOP case manager.
Participants in the program are under the supervision of Olig for a year and must remain sober while in the program. Random testing enforces the sobriety requirement.
In addition, participants must undergo an alcohol assessment, complete a driver’s safety program, which allows them to have an occupational driver’s license or get their license reinstated; and perform community service, Olig said. They also serve a reduced amount of time in jail, attend a drunken driving victim impact panel and pay fines associated with the conviction.
If participants do not comply with the rules, they can be sent back to the court and ordered to serve additional jail time.
So far the program seems to be working at addressing alcohol addiction while saving the county money.
While there are no studies that identify the recidivism rate for drunk drivers who will re-offend in Wisconsin, Olig said the recidivism rate for people who have successfully completed SSTOP in the last three years is about 10 percent.
With participants serving less time in jail, Winnebago County has also seen a decrease in spending.
Since the program’s launch, Winnebago County Circuit Court Judge Scott Woldt said the $713,000 has been saved based on the number of days offenders would have otherwise spent in jail under a traditional sentence.
Mark Zimmerman is currently going through the program and is expected to complete it in July 2010.
The Oshkosh man said the 90 hours of community service he was ordered to perform and the regular meetings with Olig have helped him address his alcohol issues and stay sober. He said the mix of jail and treatment helped him get his life straightened out.
“It has worked for me,” Zimmerman said. “It has kept me sober and kept me behind the wheel.

Validus Re’s strong risk-adjusted capitalisation, solid historical operating performance and experienced management team has led AM Best to affirm a financial strength rating of A and issuer credit rating of “a”.
The strong ratings are offset by exposure to high severity events and fierce competition in the property cat reinsurance sector; however, Validus Re’s capital has been through stringent stress tests, mitigating concern.
The stable outlook reflects AM Best’s expectation that the group will continue to produce favorable long-term operating results. A large loss or unfavorable operating profitability trends could put Validus Re’s ratings on shaky ground.

Statement designed to attract cheap popularity, said spokesperson of ruling Sikkim Democratic Front.
The chief minister’s official residence in Sikkim will be converted to a cancer hospital, the main opposition leader of the tiny Himalayan state, P S Golay has announced.
“After the SKM comes to power, luxurious Mingtogang where a ‘King’ stays would be converted into a cancer hospital and the chief minister would stay in a simple house,” Golay said in a public meeting.
The residence in just a km away from state capital Gangtok.
“Sikkim has no cancer treatment facility, and patients are forced to go out to faraway places for treatment. Even for chemotherapy, patients have to travel more than 100 km to Siliguri in West Bengal. We will provide cancer treatment after converting Mintogang into a cancer hospital,” said Golay, the president of Sikkim Krantikari Morcha (SKM).
Golay, earlier threatened to send chief minister Pawan Chamling to jail if the come in power in the Assembly elections due in 2019.
Mintogang has been the official residence of the chief minister since the time of Nar Bahadur Bandari (1940-2017), who was the chief minister for more than 13 years between October 1979 and May 1984 and March 1985 and June 1994.
The longest serving chief minister of the country, incumbent Pawan Chamling, is staying there since 1994 when he assumed power.
“Golay has got no serious issues. Therefore, he is resorting to such statements for cheap popularity,” remarked Bhim Dahal, the spokesperson of ruling Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF).
According to many, SDF that is in power at a stretch since 1994 is likely to face tough challenge from the SKM and Hamro Sikkim Party (HKP) formed by former Indian football captain Bhaichung Bhutia earlier this year.
In the 2014 Assembly polls, the SKM won 10 of the total 32 seats.
Earlier, Golay labelled corruption charges against Chamling.
Incidentally, Golay was himself convicted in a corruption case and was released from the jail on August 10 after serving a year behind the bars.
Since his release, the SKM leader has been touring every corner of the tiny Himalayan state and making populist announcements.

New technologies for treating gastroenteric diseases have been given a huge boost in recent years as scientists have investigated the microbiome, defined as the sum total of the diverse populations of bacteria, viruses and fungi spread over every surface of the human body. It is now recognized that the microbiome is unique to the individual, and its makeup can profoundly affect bodily functions. Its composition varies tremendously from individual to individual, and it is now known that its disturbance can have serious health implications. These include increased risk of various cancers, Type II diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and obesity. The gut microbiome interacts with the body to facilitate digestion, absorption of nutrients, synthesis of vitamins, and blockage of the transit of pathogenic bacteria and other virulent organisms across the intestinal mucosal barrier. In addition to their function in the digestive process, microbes also are intimately involved in regulating immune function, metabolism, and reproduction.
With such a critical component of our physical makeup available for analysis, can its exploitation be far behind? Of course not! For a modest fee, you can satisfy your curiosity and learn what critters live in your gut, and how they compare with other peoples’ critters. The firm UBIOME will sell you a kit that will give you information on your gut ($89), your gut plus two other sites ($159) or a total of five sites for $399.
It’s not clear what good this information is. Our knowledge of the microbiome and its relationship to health and illness is still in its infancy, nor is there any indication of an action plan, beyond admonitions to live a healthy lifestyle. How do you take the ratios and numbers they provide and use them to improve your health? A chat room on the internet (http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/crux/2015/10/07/poop-sample-ubiome/#.) carries a lot of complaints from people who order the kits and did not receive an analysis or found that their insurance companies had been billed for the services.
Ubiome has a long list of university and company logos displaying partnerships, and touts many publications. However, 4 out of the 15 publications they list on their website are from bioRxiv, which is a pre-publication repository run by ColdSpring Harbor Laboratories, not a peer-reviewed journal.
The ability of modern medicine of measure molecular properties of bodies is useless if is there is no understanding of the meaning of these data. We are years away from a thorough understanding of the microbiome and its role in health and disease. It may be time to put a curb on these companies’ “irrational exuberance”.

We have talked before on how small businesses can use Joomla to their advantage. Today, we are going to talk on how doctors (who run probably the most and critical important small business in every country) can use Joomla.
The above is what the person gets when s/he searches for “Doctors near Naples, Florida” on Google. Nowadays, Google lists the businesses that have enlisted with them through Google places before returning the actual search results. This is actually good for the doctors who are registered with Google places, great for those who are registered with Google places and have websites, bad for doctors who only have websites but have not registered their business with Google places, and really bad for those doctors who neither have a website nor have registered their business in Google places.
Now let’s examine the above listing further, you can easily see that the first two doctors have maps.google.com as their website address (which is not the case, of course, but Google automatically sets their website to their link on Google maps if they don’t have a website). Now guess which doctor the patients will choose? Will they choose one without a website that they know nothing about, or will they choose a doctor who has a website and whom professional information is public through that website?
Now this reason, and this reason alone, is enough to justify why each and every doctor/clinic should have a website (and should list his business with Google places).
Now why should doctors go for a Joomla website?
Joomla is very easy to use: Doctors only need to create new content/update old content on their website, and this is not hard at all with Joomla, even if they have no technical experience whatsoever.
Joomla is everything that they need: Doctors don’t need anything that isn’t supported by Joomla, and they may only need a couple of extensions to add to the Joomla’s default installation so that Joomla satisfies all their needs.
Joomla needs little maintenance: A Joomla website needs very little maintenance, and even this maintenance is provided for a very reasonable fee by Joomla support companies such as itoctopus (see our Joomla Maintenance Package).
Joomla websites are affordable: Although most doctors do not care about expenses, it doesn’t make sense for them to pay a lot of money for a website while they can pay much less. Since Joomla is free, all the doctor needs to pay to create his website is for the installation/configuration of his Joomla website (Note that the doctor has to also pay for his template in case he opted for a paid template). And that’s it!
Now what is the typical structure of a doctor’s website?
Homepage: The page that (usually) visitors see first when they visit the doctor’s website. This page contains a brief information about the doctor and his area of expertise. This page typically includes a photo of the doctor.
Meet the Doctor: This page contains detailed information about the doctor: his/her educational background, his certificates, and his professional associations.
Meet the Staff: Doctors don’t usually operate alone, they have a staff behind them. This page lists the staff, mainly nurses and receptionists. The staff may also include other junior doctors serving with the main doctor in his clinic.
Clinic Hours: This page lists the business hours of the clinic. Most clinics are open from 8 AM to 3 PM on regular days, from 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturdays, and they close on Sundays. Ideally, this page will list the non-working holidays (for example, Christmas) so that patients will know that the doctor is closed during these days.
Directions/Contact Us: This page contains the full address of the clinic, and it may include a map (such as a Google map). The page also lists the clinic’s coordinates such as the phone number, fax number, email, etc… Additionally, this page usually includes a form that patients can fill in to contact the doctor directly.
A doctor websites may also include other pages that consist of authority articles written by the doctor on topics concerning his profession.
Now if you are a doctor, and you need help building/managing/extending/maintaining your Joomla website, then feel free to contact us. Our fees are reasonable, we are very friendly, and we are always there (we even offer 24/7/365 Emergency Joomla Support).

Kiefer Sutherland en live pour la série The Kate (USA Connecticut), saison 2, le 19 février 2017 au Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center.
This performance is being filmed for The Kate series on Sunday, February 19th at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center.
Yep, Kiefer Sutherland’s coming Sunday to the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center for a sold-out appearance.
I know what you’re thinking: Why is this happening?
Well, because he wants to sing for you. Y’see, last year, Sutherland released « Down in a Hole, » a heartfelt and more-than-competitive debut album containing 11 country/roots tunes he co-wrote with producer/pal Jude Cole.
Often, the impulse, on learning that yet another actor has decided to become a music star, is to slice your ears off. « Please! No more Keanu-ness! » But it wouldn’t be fair to dismiss « Down in a Hole » without giving it a listen. Sutherland’s weary, nicotine-savaged voice shows real emotion, and « I’ll Do Anything, » « Calling Out Your Name » and « Gonna Die » are some pretty fine tunes. I suspect that all the folks who bought enough copies of this album that it hit #33 on Billboard’s U.S. Country charts are glad they did so — well beyond just the curiosity or memorabilia quotients.

To mark the occasion, we wanted to see if we could zero in on the elements that have made Frank Fat's such an enduring success.
In a city with so many good and very good restaurants these days, it's tempting to wonder if the Beard Foundation was honoring a restaurant icon or a restaurant dinosaur.
During our recent visits, it didn't take long to arrive at an answer. Frank Fat's may not be as cool as a place like Hook & Ladder or Red Rabbit, as elegant as Ella, as influential as Mulvaney's or as adored as Biba.
But it continues to stand tall for a reason. The food is consistently delicious and eminently accessible, with flavors and ingredients that straddle the line between American and Chinese.
Who cares where bacon-wrapped scallops come from or whether they get the foodie stamp of approval for being authentic? At Frank Fat's, they're pretty darn amazing – tender, delicate, meaty, salty and just a tad smoky going down. And they pair nicely with a lychee martini, a nice stiff mai tai cocktail or something from the abbreviated but nicely balanced wine list.
The salt-and-pepper calamari is light and crisp and mildly delicious without being greasy or chewy. And Fat's brandy fried chicken is right up there with the best fried chicken in town – perfectly tender, golden brown, crispy, tasty – and lots of it.
Know what makes all this food taste even better? They treat you like a million bucks. Frank Fat's has been a refuge for movers and shakers practically since the day it opened on L Street. Every governor since has eaten there. Celebrities often drop by. Deals get done.
We discovered pretty quickly that whether you're a nobody from Natomas or a big shot with an entourage, you'll get the VIP treatment here.
One of our friends ordered the lychee martini. He was curious about what it would taste like. A mouthful of cotton candy or something grown-up and exotic? With a wink and a smile, our excellent server said that if he didn't like it, they'd make him something else. They don't have to check with the manager and make everything awkward – they simply make the drink go away and make a new one appear.
Frank Fat, who died in 1997, instilled the personal- service edict in his family and employees, according to son Jerry Fat, president and chief executive officer of Fat City Inc., which presides over the family's four restaurants.
"My father treated everybody the same. It didn't matter if you were the governor of California or somebody from the community coming in for dinner," he told me by phone.
Jerry remembers busing tables as a teenager in the 1970s when then-Gov. Ronald Reagan's security detail arrived early in the morning to arrange for a visit. Clint Eastwood has eaten at Fat's, though we neglected to ask if he had a conversation with an empty chair. Anthony Kennedy, the U.S. Supreme Court justice and Sacramento native, continues to dine there when he's in town.
When you're in the hands of restaurant pros and veterans who don't need training wheels, it's easy to relax and have a good time. The biggest surprise for me was how much fun we had – and how much we enjoyed the food.
Whether you're new to Frank Fat's or rediscovering it after 30 years, we recommend you start with the assortment of appetizers called the combination platter ($16 on the dinner menu). You get the calamari, pot stickers and spring rolls, all prepared with precision. But you also get something called yu kwok, battered and deep-fried dumplings with wonderfully seasoned meat inside. There's nothing else like it in town – crisp on the outside, tender and tasty on the inside. Try them with a cold beer.
During another visit, we ordered the appetizers more randomly and, again, had great success, though we thought the baby back ribs were a little overcooked and dry. That was the only stumble, however.
I can recommend every entree with enthusiasm – and there are so many ways to dine here. You can delve into the Chinese parts of the menu and come up with winners such as General Tsaos Chicken, which is gently spicy and hot, with very tender chunks of chicken battered and deep-fried.
You can go with something called Immigrants Beef and take note of how tender and perfectly seasoned flank steak can be. The beef is marinated in a blend of brandy, soy, ginger, garlic and sesame oil, then grilled and served atop grilled asparagus. We also enjoyed the Beef Chow Fun – a pleasing noodle dish with mild but complex flavors.
There are several East-meets-West elements of the menu, including an oversized 16-ounce New York steak smothered in sautéed onions and oyster sauce. This one may not date all the way back to 1939, but it promises to endure well into the 21st century.
And those scallops? The ones wrapped with bacon? Right now, they're a contender for our favorite appetizer of 2013. While we're all for sharing when it comes to ordering food at Fat's, you might want to get an order of these for yourself, lest you inspire some ill will by eating more than your fair share.
There's no need to ask for a dessert menu. There are only two options: banana cream pie or chocolate cream pie. Sure, it would be nice if they expanded the desserts to include something with fruit, maybe something seasonal. But the banana cream pie is a classic.
Over the years, we've published the recipe multiple times in The Bee. It's a recipe that was started more than 50 years ago and updated only slightly (the lard for the crust has been replaced by butter). It's still really good. It still tastes like bananas times five, and the mild, pale crust doesn't get in the way of all that creamy, decadent goodness.
Next month, Frank Fat's will take a bow on the national stage when the family accepts the James Beard award. Now you know what the jurors at the Beard Foundation understood so clearly – that this restaurant was, is and will continue to be an American classic.
11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday to Friday; 5-10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
For an old-school place with plenty of history, a touch of class and polished service that will make you feel like a VIP, it doesn't get any better than this. It may have opened in 1939, with tweaks to the menu over the years, but the recipe for success hasn't changed.
We loved the scallops wrapped in bacon, the yu kwok appetizer, brandy fried chicken, the spicy General Tsaos Chicken and the very tender Immigrants Beef, among many dishes we enjoyed. The mixed drinks are made by pros.
Very friendly and polished. They made us feel special and did all the little things that make dinner a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
From the outside, it exudes that private club-speakeasy vibe. Inside, it's nicely appointed and comfortable, with a pleasant bar for relaxing with a drink. But the acoustics are surprisingly bad. It's noisy and a little jarring when it's busy.
You'll get sizable portions and quality cooking for the price. Appetizers range from $9 to $13. The best deal is the $16 combination platter. Main dishes are mostly under $20, with the exception of the New York steak ($30) and the full Peking duck ($33).
Noteworthy: The Fat family is working with California State University, Sacramento, to organize its many photos, letters, menus and other historic documents into an archive that will be available for digital viewing when the project is completed. A look at a menu from the 1960s shows martinis for 50 cents, sweet-and-sour spare ribs for $1 and homemade pie (presumably banana cream) for 30 cents.

Mary Kessell was sent to Germany in August 1945 to record the plight of the millions of refugees moving through Europe in the aftermath of the German surrender. The following extract is from her diary: "Berlin Tuesday 10 September 1945The afternoon at the railway station Berlin. Shall I ever forget them? I saw not a single train come in – or leave. . . . The scenes were quite the worst I’ve witnessed. Like Goya come to life. People sitting & lolling & sleeping – waiting for the trains that might come today or perhaps come tomorrow. Filthy, lousy, abject bundles of humanity. Utterly apathetic – just bundles. I had to tell myself that God loved them & cared where they got to – till the tears poured down my face. German soldiers – home with nothing on their feet, filthy clothes – unshaven – stinking – limbless bundles with great eyes . . .Remember for ever those things that war has made – I felt so ashamed standing there in my uniform & clean shoes, saying ‘no’ when I was asked for a cigarette".

Concussions are the result of acceleration-deceleration forces applied to the brain, and are a common occurrence in contact sports or sports involving speed. Concussion may result from direct impact or sudden rotational or shear forces transmitted to the brain, causing axon (nerve) dysfunction. A number of neurological functions may have been affected and symptoms can vary considerably, therefore a thorough evaluation should be conducted by a medical professional.
Defined as a complex pathophysiological process affecting the brain, induced by traumatic biomechanical forces.
Concussion typically results in a rapid onset of short-lived impairment of neurologic functions that resolve spontaneously.
no abnormality on standard structural neuro-imaging studies are seen in concussion.
If any one or more of these symptoms are present, a concussion should be suspected and the appropriate assessment and management strategy should be instituted by a qualified medical professional. The player should not be left alone following the injury and serial monitoring for deterioration is essential over the initial few hours following concussion. It is not uncommon for symptoms to be delayed several hours following a concussive episode, and it is essential that worsening symptoms prompt immediate referral to a hospital.
Treatment often involves vestibular rehabilitation (balance and postural stability, eye and head control) exercises as these sensitive sensory systems, which are managed by the brain, are often affected. Treatment will also likely involve the neck.
A player with a diagnosed concussion should be evaluated before return to play with a structured physical and cognitive assessment, as there is a substantial risk for further deterioration or injury with trauma or exertion when symptoms have not fully resolved. Helmets and mouth guards continue to be recommended to protect against head and facial injuries, and may reduce the incidence and/or severity of concussions. At Back in Action physiotherapy our titled Sports physiotherapists specialize in concussion management and will take you through a graduated return to play protocol that will ensure the best possible recovery.


text: Background: Currently dengue viruses (DENV) pose an increasing threat to over 2.5 billion people in over 100 tropical and sub-tropical countries worldwide. International air travel is facilitating rapid global movement of DENV, increasing the risk of severe dengue epidemics by introducing different serotypes. Accurate diagnosis is critical for early initiation of preventive measures. Different reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) methods are available, which should be evaluated and standardized. Epidemiological and laboratory-based surveillance is required to monitor and guide dengue prevention and control programmes, i.e., by mosquito control or possible vaccination (as soon as an effective and safe vaccine becomes available). Objective: The purpose of the external quality assurance (EQA) study described is to assess the efficiency and accuracy of dengue molecular diagnosis methods applied by expert laboratories. Study Design: A panel of 12 human plasma samples was distributed and tested for DENV-specific RNA. The panel comprised 9 samples spiked with different DENV serotypes (DENV-1 to DENV-4), including 10-fold dilution series of DENV-1 and DENV-3. Two specificity controls consisted of a sample with a pool of 4 other flaviviruses and a sample with chikungunya virus. A negative control sample was also included. Results: Thirty-seven laboratories (from Europe, Middle East Asia, Asia, the Americas/Caribbean, and Africa) participated in this EQA study, and reports including 46 sets of results were returned. Performance among laboratories varied according to methodologies used. Only 5 (10.9%) data sets met all criteria with optimal performance, and 4 (8.7%) with acceptable performance, while 37 (80.4%) reported results showed the need for improvement regarding accomplishment of dengue molecular diagnosis. Failures were mainly due to lack of sensitivity and the presence of false positives. Conclusions: The EQA provides information on each laboratory’s efficacy of RT-PCR techniques for dengue diagnosis and indicates for most laboratories an urgent need to improve sensitivity and specificity.

Leather cowboy hatsare the signature look of any cowboy worth his salt. Taken from the ranch to the streets of Hollywood, the cowboy hat has become a trendy piece to have. It is not only suitable for cowboy themed nights at the bar or a visit to grandma’s ranch. Since its transition into the fashion world it has taken on different styles and shades. This may have left the hat to be unrecognizable but the trimmings on the crown of the hat and the rope that goes around the neck (a hat band) has remained to remind others where the hat descends from.
Cowboy hats worn today aren’t regularly made of leather anymore. They are made of fur based felt, and straw. The brim of the hat can be tall, have a rounded crown or a wide flat trim. This all depends on the customers preferences. All cowboy hats come with a sweat band on the inside to steady the fit of the head. The original resident evil 6 jacket has a rough dry texture to them. It also looks washed out. The washed out look can be due to it being made with genuine leather. It can have a musty suede look and feel to it. Today the cowboy hat has taken different styles. Some have become smaller and others have become bigger. Prints and all sorts of animal skin have been added to embody a coolness of wearing the hat.
The wide brimmed summer hat is a classic hat that takes its origins from the cowboy hat. The summer hat is a lot lighter and flexible. The summer hat is the hat that is popularly made with straw or straw like material. It also has an elastic band on the inside to create a better fit. The summer hat is gorgeous when worn with a flowing summer dress or a maxi skirt. The hat is simply not just there to make the ladies pretty. It is made to protect the face and head from sun damage. And thank the heavens that it does this in a fashionable and stylish way.
The cowboy leather hat can be worn casually and loosely anywhere. It is a fashion accessory used to be taken to the mall or your neighbor to hang out. The straw hat is the common thread of cowboy hats this year. Wear one with or without added detail and it will still create a stylish and authentic style appeal. The modern straw hats are great to have because they don’t get as hot as the genuine leather hats.
Just like biker apparel, cowboy attire was initially designed for protection against weather when they were out on the field. Style was never part of making the clothes. The matte finish of the original resident evil 6 jacket may have diminished over the years. A variety of prints, materials and accessories have been added to elevate the cowboy hat. These additions have caused the hat to be trendy and a sought-after item by fashion forward individuals. Dress the hat casually or semi-formal with jeans and heels and stand out from the crowd. The cowboy hat isn’t frequenting the streets as much as other trending clothes. Strut out in style with this hat and make a fashion statement like no other.

If you have read our beginner’s guide to Monero, you would know that this privacy coin is making quite a wave in the crypto scene of late because of its myriad features that give it an edge over many of its competitors. Should you invest in Monero? What does the price outlook look like? What are the reasons you should invest in Monero?
Recently, in the last couple of days, experts have been predicting a bullish upswing for Monero in the short-term period. Its price is expected to rise for a while, giving investors quite a bang for their buck. The Stochastic Oscillator for the Monero cryptocurrency seems to be moving from the oversold region and the signal appears to be moving upwards. This clearly signifies that there might be an upward trend in the price of Monero in the short-term.
While cryptocurrencies are often assumed to be anonymous, they are not exactly so. Especially Bitcoin possibly opens up your transactions to public knowledge by hosting the public keys on the openly accessible database. While there are certain roundabout ways to make Bitcoin transactions anonymous, they are not inherently private. Hence, a coin like Monero is very private, as it uses features such as confidential addresses and ring signatures.
Monero has a key characteristic that money has: FUNGIBILITY. This means that one unit of Monero is interchangeable with another unit of Monero easily and immediately upon demand. This is because its great privacy features ensure no old transactions are captured in the records to take away a coin’s interchangeability.
If you read our article about how to mine Monero, you would know that it is incredibly easy to mine,unlike one of the older cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, the oldest. This ease is expected to boost adoption rates, which in turn should increase prices and take the investment potential upward.
We all know that Bitcoin has a scalability issue that has proven hard to deal with. A lot of it stems from the fact that Bitcoin has a block size of maximum 1 MB. As a result, to cannot handle too many transactions at a go and this slow operation hampers the scale at which it can be adapted, as the prices go up and the efficiency gets reduced. Monero solves that issue by not having a maximum block size at all. Instead it has a block reward penalty. It is meant to stop unscrupulous miners from blocking the network.
All these factors make Monero a smart cryptocurrency with great potential, and investors should definitely check that out. However, before you go ahead and add Monero to your crypto portfolio, do check out other altcoin options as we have made you a list of best altcoins to invest in, in 2018.

The Rockwall and Brin Church of Christ is a congregation of over 200 members in Terrell, Texas.
The members of the Rockwall and Brin congregation represent a variety of religious backgrounds, though many have deep roots in the Church of Christ heritage.
After World War II, our church seemed to take on new life and was outgrowing the existing building. To accommodate the larger church membership, a new church building was erected on the corner of Rockwall and Brin Streets. During this time period, mission work was started abroad and the church began providing moral support and encouragement to the students at Southwestern Christian College in Terrell. Many couples associated with the college have been vital to the work in our congregation.
In March of 1994, our church building was destroyed by fire and could not be salvaged. The education building was spared and we still had a place to worship. As always, the Lord was with us. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Rockwall and Brin grew in spirit and numbers. A new building was completed in November of 1995. Shortly after, the congregation built a Family Life Center that provided additional space for church-wide events, more Bible classrooms, and expansion of the youth program.
As our congregation has grown, so has God’s work in serving the local community. The youth group, bus program, ladies’ ministry, communion for shut-ins, and the Share Center became thriving ministries. The church has also supported several missionaries over the years and the Boles Home for Children in Quinlan. Our church is a family of believers who worship, serve, learn, and grows together as we share the good news of Christ. We aim to be the people the Lord calls us to be. While we are an imperfect church, we serve a perfect God.

Somerset were 6-4 victors over Wiltshire on 19th July in the opening South & West Counties Women’s Championship fixture at Welton Rovers FC.
The home side took only 2 minutes to score, when Ellie Stripple crossed for Chloe Gilroy to volley home at the far post but Wiltshire turned the game in their favour as Helena Diaz Butcher levelled and Mia Mugford put them in front.
Ruby Lowe then equalised for Somerset only for the visitors to regain the lead when capitalising on a goalkeeper error.
Somerset next struck twice to go 4-3 up, with Shakira Howard and Megan Robinson their scorers.
Still the goals and the drama flowed as Mugford made it 4-4 but Somerset went straight up the other end for Gilroy to get their fifth.
In the 89th minute, Robinson broke free to round the keeper and complete the scoring at 6-4 to Somerset.

Have you ever celebrated a big promotion or some life event with a celebratory dinner complete with your favorite “feel good” foods? Or have you had to deal with sadness, and to help you deal with your emotions, a gallon of rocky road ice cream seems the perfect prescription.
We do it all the time. We answer emotional needs by eating. We may or may not be physically hungry, but nonetheless, we consume "comfort food" in response to the way we feel. This is called emotional eating. While emotional eating is not a problem itself, it is a common symptom of people with the eating problem.
Put very simply, emotional eating is when you use food in an attempt to manage your moods. More often than not, this is an unconscious response, rather than a rational choice.
Sadly, this is not an uncommon practice. Those who study eating disorders believe that as much as 75% of all eating takes place because of emotions. That is a staggering statistic. That means that most of the time when you eat, you are not simply trying to give your body the nutrition it needs to function properly. Most of the time, you are trying to regulate your mood with food.
How powerful is eating for emotional needs?
A study reported in Obesity magazine showed that emotional eaters who successfully lose weight by following some diet are much more likely to gain that weight back than non-emotional eaters.
This doesn't mean normal celebratory eating because of a birthday, holiday or anniversary.
Some emotional eating is good. When you are spending time honoring a celebration or holiday with friends and family, and good food is a part of that celebration, you create wonderful memories that you can look back on and smile. Rewarding yourself with your favorite comfort food at the end of a week successfully following a strict diet just makes sense too.
The problem occurs when you consistently turn to emotional eating as a coping mechanism. You overeat on a regular basis, and the foods you focus on are generally not that good for you. Constant emotional eating can lead to eating problems such as night eating syndrome or binge eating disorder.
People who overeat to calm their emotions usually feel bad about what they're doing. They are upset about their relationship with food. After they have consumed a lot of comfort food in order to make themselves feel better about something, they realize what they have done. This causes them to feel distressed and frustrated at themselves.
Guess what happens? They answer those negative emotions with food. This creates a vicious cycle where poor health, obesity, overweight, diabetes and depression are often the rewards for this unhealthy eating practice.
If you are concerned you may be responding to your emotions with food too frequently, talk to a therapist or mental health professional.
