Mindy Bickel was appointed Associate Commissioner for Innovation Development in December 2015. The Office of Innovation Development ensures independent inventors, small businesses, entrepreneurs, university inventors, and minority and underserved populations better understand, secure, and use intellectual property (IP), with a focus on patents.
Ms. Bickel previously managed the Patents Ombudsman Program, which serves as a resource for patent applicants, agents, and attorneys. During 2012, Ms. Bickel served on a three-month detail to SelectUSA, a White House jobs creation initiative, where she assisted in formalizing their ombudsman program and its functions.
Ms. Bickel has also coordinated and conducted university outreach and partnership efforts for the United States Patent and Trademark Office since 2007. Prior to this assignment, Ms. Bickel served as Chief of Staff to the Commissioner for Patents from March 2006 through June 2007. As chief of Staff, she was responsible for oversight of the Office of the Commissioner for Patents, the independent inventor programs, and coordination of speaking requests and tours received by the patents organization. She also assisted the commissioner with his daily schedule and business area operations. Prior to her role as chief of staff, Ms. Bickel was part of a team responsible for developing and implementing the USPTO Patent Training Academy, a program designed to train 1200 new patent examiners each year in an eight-month training program.
Ms. Bickel began her career at the USPTO in 1989 as a patent examiner in biotechnology, becoming a supervisory patent examiner in 1995.

In Houston, we all like to start the New Year on a positive note. Many of us take stock of what we’ve accomplished and focus on aspects of our life we hope to improve. If time has etched lines, wrinkles and grooves into your face, finding a solution may be near the top of your self-improvement wish list. BOTOX to the rescue!
By now, you probably know that BOTOX is a highly diluted form of the botulinum toxin used to correct certain facial lines and wrinkles. FDA-approved in 2002, BOTOX injections may be the single most popular non-surgical procedure to reduce or eliminate facial lines, wrinkles and grooves.
Crow’s feet, lines and even deep grooves appear on our faces over the years, the result of our natural expressiveness, lifestyle habits, and the tendency to move our facial muscles in habitual ways. For instance, you may squint a lot (when you’re concentrating, when you’re worried, when the sun is bright, or when you are trying to focus your vision.) As the years go by, this repetitive motion begins to carve lines in your face and can eventually result in a permanent expression of worry or intense concentration.
We frequently notice these facial lines and wrinkles on friends and strangers alike. At times, we also find ourselves looking at someone and wondering, “Why is she so angry?” or “Why is he so uptight and stressed?” We’re talking about that vertical line that runs down the center of the forehead: one of the most obvious facial flaws, in otherwise attractive men and women.
For days after BOTOX is administered, you will look in the mirror and continue to see increased improvement in your face as the treatment reaches its full effect. BOTOX requires only local anesthesia, if any at all. The procedure effectively blocks signals relayed between certain nerves and muscles, causing a temporary paralysis in specific facial muscles.
After Botox treatment, you’ll still be able to smile, frown, and make normal facial expressions. BOTOX generally lasts 4-6 months before it needs to be replenished. Over time, many of our patients notice that their facial wrinkles continue to diminish even when they have BOTOX treatments less often. It almost seems to “train” the muscles to be more relaxed, resulting in a more serene, pleasing image as time goes by.
A word of caution: You may have heard about “BOTOX parties,” where the treatment is administered to a group of women in someone’s home. We strongly recommend that you avoid this route. You only have one face. Don’t place it in the hands of someone whose knowledge of facial anatomy may be insufficient. Just because someone can inject BOTOX doesn’t mean he or she can do it properly or with an eye trained to give the best aesthetic result. A trained plastic surgeon will administer the treatment with your very own unique face taken into consideration. The only BOTOX party worth attending is the one done safely in our Houston office.
If you are between age 18 and 65, are not pregnant, nursing or living with a muscular disorder, you’re probably a good candidate. Talk to us about BOTOX and start the New Year on a brighter, more attractive note. We’ve got Botox appointments available in Cypress, The Woodlands, at our Medical Center office, and Sugar Land.

Given the recent big changes in B.C. politics now seems like a good moment to describe the duties and responsibilities of an MLA.
An MLA – or Member of the Legislative Assembly – is your elected representative in the Legislature of British Columbia. Each MLA is responsible for representing a different geographical area, called a “riding” or “constituency”. B.C. is carved up into 87 ridings (each with between 35,000-50,000 people), meaning that 87 individuals represent the 4.6 million residents of B.C.
Once elected, MLAs are expected to represent all people who live in their ridings, regardless of differences such as social standing, age, income, or political views. In my opinion, the most important aspect to this is to advance efforts that improve our shared quality of life, both in the riding and across the province.
Broadly, my work as an MLA happens in three different categories: contributing to the work of the legislature, finding solutions for issues in my riding, and assisting individual with problems or concerns related to the provincial government.
Much of the work I do takes place at the legislature in downtown Victoria. Provincial governments have significant power under the Canadian Constitution to make laws in a wide variety of areas, such as health care, education, agriculture and the environment. As a member of John Horgan’s B.C. New Democratic minority government, I will contribute to this work and give voice to the concerns and priorities of constituents in Saanich South.
Another large part of my job is to help solve problems in the riding I represent. For instance, I worked hard to improve safety at the intersection of the Pat Bay Highway and Sayward Road. It used to be one of the most dangerous intersections on the South Island, but after holding several community consultations and meeting with the Ministry of Transportation I was able to secure $3 million in safety upgrades for the intersection. Thankfully, data since the new upgrades has shown a significant decrease in the accident rate.
I also assist people who are struggling with issues that involve the provincial government and its various branches. Just since I was re-elected two months ago, I have helped a senior couple access respite care after they were wrongly told they would not be able to; helped a local business owner who was having problems with the provincial sales tax; met with Saanich teachers to discuss issues they are facing in the classroom; and advocated for homeowners worried about the CRD’s Wastewater Treatment Project at the Hartland Landfill.
In addition, MLAs who are part of the government often have additional responsibilities such as leading a ministry (which is a section of the public service). Earlier this month I was appointed to the cabinet to serve as the minister of agriculture for British Columbia. This Ministry has responsibilities such as strengthening agriculture and food security, protecting animals and ensuring food safety. Much of this work is done in partnership with the federal government. As a former organic farmer, this role is a dream come true.
Detailed information on what I do in the community and my work record is available at www.saanichsouth.ca. It is a privilege to serve as your representative in the government of British Columbia, and I am excited to see what the coming months and years will bring. If you require assistance with a branch of the provincial government, please contact me and I will do my absolute best to assist you. As well, I am always open to your feedback on any provincial matter.
Lana Popham is the MLA for Saanich South and the Minister of Agriculture for British Columbia. Her community office is located at 4085 Quadra Street and can be reached at 250 479 4154.

The 144th Open is the high-point of the golfing summer and is likely to prompt many people to either dust-off their neglected golf clubs, or redouble their ongoing efforts to shoot lower scores and reduce their handicap. We are constantly told how these significant moments in the public eye can provide a sport with a surge in popularity and participation. Just look at women’s football after the World Cup in Canada, or the annual “Wimbledon effect” on tennis. I think it’s safe to say that golf is no different and events at St Andrew’s later this week will no doubt have a motivating effect on many golfers.
It won’t surprise you to know that I firmly believe mental training rather than technical swing training is the answer to the latter. Sports science can tell us a great deal about the laborious processes we have to go through to acquire new physical skills. I think it’s clear that changing the way you think when you are playing golf will allow you to improve faster, rather than trying to meaningfully change how you physically swing a club or adding a new shot or technique to your existing repertoire.
Even the great Tiger Woods underlined this point during an interview with the BBC’s Sports Editor Dan Roan, to preview The Open. Woods spoke about how he has made changes to his swing in the past and it had taken him up to 14 hours of practice a day to feel that he had mastered these.
So you can see that implementing physical changes to improve your golf is likely to take much longer than improving your game by changing the way you think or, more specifically, practicing the way you think.
The fundamental reason for this is the fact that the human brain is not designed to help us play well on the golf course and, although you probably don’t realise at the time, it can have a powerful negative influence. So over-complicating things with too much technical information about a new swing plane or a putting stroke can be counterproductive and make things even worse.
The good news is this unhelpful state of mind can be changed and, although the more you practice, the better you will be, improvements can be rapid when you start to use a specific mental approach, which involves systematically training yourself to think differently.
Pre-Shot Golf training is based on six key lessons which achieve this and help golfers rewire their brains for better golf. There are no technical details in the system just mental skills, which can be practiced via simple excercises.
There are already plenty of tips and ideas on this website which explain this and in the coming weeks we’ll be releasing even more great content which has the potential to help you improve faster. Keep an eye on the site and the Pre-Shot twitter feed.
You can also gain access to the entire Pre-Shot training system via our eBooks or our iPhone apps.

At Hranipex, we love detail. On one hand, we know that for you, joiners, an edge isn’t something that you would lose sleep over (and if it is, one of our 120 experts is probably already on his way to help you fine-tune the edge banding process). On the other hand, we also know that if this detail doesn't work, the whole workshop comes to a halt. This is what we have strived to avoid over the last 25 years. And we are really good at it.
You are never more than 24 hours away.
To make your edge banding always work, we have an edge ready for every single one of the thousands of boards from 85 world manufacturers. The moment you’ve thoroughly considered all options and selected a material for your next project, we already know precisely what procedure and edge to apply as well as the time it will be ready for you – if it’s in stock the next day at the latest.
How come? Because a huge warehouse takes up the biggest area of our site. You are never more than 24 hours away from us no matter where you are.
You won't find any difference. Only finished work.
Why Hranipex, you ask? We are not the only furniture edge manufacturer. Not even the biggest one. But it is us who have dedicated the most attention to one key thing – matching.
In the end, this is what decides whether you've got a good day's work in the palm of your hand. If you choose a board and we hand you one of our 1,660 edges that fits like a glove, everything runs smoothly.
For a perfect fit, we have checked the matching of boards and edges with Kronospan, among others. We have become their authorized partner for the Kronospan Global Collection. Matching is guaranteed, by both Kronospan and us.
However, matching is not only about colour and pattern structure. We think about it even in such areas that you wouldn't expect. Recently we added a layer ensuring that Hranipex edges match the board pattern under any light. This is our solution to metamerism. It might sound familiar. You select the board colour in daylight, but when you check it under a fluorescent lamp in your workshop, it suddenly looks different. This won't take you or your customers by surprise again.
We are cut from the same cloth. We want perfect furniture. Like you.
You are a joiner. And that means something. Your work is your image. In joinery, as in any other honest trade, quality is what it all comes down to. Compromising on quality means losing your pride and joy in your work. This is why you don't do it. It doesn't pay off. For anyone. At Hranipex, we share the same view.
Today, most of our products are made of ABS. ABS guarantees that the edges of your furniture will withstand all the scratches and knocks that life brings. Temperature changes or high humidity won't throw them off. Your customers might also appreciate that ABS is easy to recycle and has no environmental impact.
In terms of quality, today's European standard is 1mm edge thickness. It's an obvious choice for sharp board edges. While being sufficiently flexible and pliable, they deliver on your quality expectations, don't copy the surface of the cut board and don't look as faded as 0.5mm boards. So edge-wise, you can be uncompromising.
If there is a truly detail-sensitive material in today's furniture making, it's high-gloss surface boards. This is why Hranipex has been engaged in preparing the Senosan High Gloss Acrylic board collection. We have teamed up with Senosan to create a board and an edge from the same material. They are the same, giving you a surface that looks unified and compact to the last detail. As if made of glass or polished steel.
Do it once. The first time. Do it right.
Speaking of detail, take its psychological impact. When it's right, you barely notice it. But a flaw, even the tiniest one, is a real magnet for the eyes. Impossible to keep them off it.
Maybe Hranipex is a bit obsessed with detail. True, a furniture edge is not a flight to Mars. It's not even something your customers are concerned with.

If you are facing a federal conspiracy charge, you could be looking at up to 5 years imprisonment. Federal Conspiracy charges involve federal crimes that are committed by two or more individuals. Because of the nature of this charge, you could also be facing other charges relating to the crime which may increase the prison sentence you could be facing. You need to have an experienced Washington Federal Conspiracy Criminal Defense Attorney on your side.
Some of the common things we advise our clients on are whether to talk to the police, whether to take a polygraph and whether to make any statements to friends, family members or co-defendants. Well-intentioned statements to family, friends or the police could be misconstrued and harm your case. In particular, if a co-defendant is cooperating with law enforcement, any statements you make could unknowingly be recorded or relayed to law enforcement in a way that hurts your case. It’s important to only make those statements after you’ve been advised by a Washington Federal Conspiracy Criminal Defense Attorney. You need an experienced attorney on your side as you make decisions about your case.
We will also advise you on whether to cooperate with law enforcement. Depending on the nature of your case, you may decide to cooperate or not. Regardless of your decision, we will make sure you understand the unique consequences that apply in conspiracy cases so that you can make the best decision for you and your future.
All of our Washington Federal Conspiracy Criminal Defense Attorneys are also available to handle appeals of white collar criminal convictions to the 9th Circuit and petition the Supreme Court of the United States, if necessary. Rather than deal with the expense and time required to obtain a separate appellate attorney who is unfamiliar with you and your case, we can continue to represent you through this phase. We petition, write and argue appeals, personal restrain petitions and writs of habeas corpus in both state and federal court. Similarly, we will explain this process and ensure you fully understand what is happening. We have successfully obtained numerous reversals of criminal convictions for clients who were wrongfully accused or victims of prosecutorial misconduct or ineffective assistance of counsel. We believe in our clients and will continue to fight for justice for you through the appellate phase.

Jason Schmidt was able to play catch the day after his one-inning intra-squad game and issued a lukewarm endorsement on his bounce-back. Schmidt said he felt some soreness where he was told to expect to feel it and that he wouldn’t know until Wednesday if he would need an extra day of rest before his next outing. Schmidt is coming off his second operation in the last two years.
Manager Joe Torre said catcher Russell Martin might be limited to designated hitter duties when he reports to Team Canada for the World Baseball Classic. Torre said “we’re babying Russell” as he heals from a torn foot ligament.
In other pitching news, Torre said Hong-Chih Kuo came out of his Monday bullpen session with only slight discomfort and might appear in a game as early as Friday; Cory Wade is throwing again after missing a week with a sore shoulder and Travis Schlichting is back in action after back spasms. Also, Ronald Belisario finally reported after encountering visa problems in Venezuela.
I sure hope these guys work the soreness out before start of season. There are alot of “must haves” for the pitching staff this year. Health would be at the top of the list.

We do not drink enough tea in this country. In China tea was the first beverage made and around 2700 BC. It is the second most common beverage consumed in the world. The most popular is Green tea (Camilla sinensis)which is an evergreen shrub with strongly scented flowers. Today China produces 38 % of the world’s tea followed by India and then Kenya. China consumes 1.6 million ton of tea and only 127.000 tons consumed in the United States. So you see we need to consume more tea. There are six types of tea from C. sinensis: White, Green, Yellow, Black, Oolong and Pu’erh. Each of these tea have other names. For example Green can be called Sencha, Matcha or even Dragon Well.
Green tea has a positive effect of coronary artery disease and stroke due to its content of flavinoids. Total intake of flavonoids is associated with a lower risk of CAD. Flavinoids affect flow mediated dilation thus lowering blood pressure. We believe that tea drinking may enhance endothelium dependent vasodilation. In animal studies it was found that green tea protects against lead and cadmium oxidative stress.
The benefits of green tea goes well beyond the positive effects on the cardiovascular system. It has been studied and research for its positive effects on neurodegenerative disease, cancer and kidney disease.

In recent decades, universities have turned increasingly to the use of poorly paid instructors on short-term contracts without any job security. Today a majority of university classes are taught by these workers. Since the 1970s, precariously employed university workers in Toronto have organized to improve the terms of their employment, first in the Graduate Assistants Association, then in the Canadian Union of Educational Workers, and finally in the Canadian Union of Public Employees. They have bargained hard to win some decent working conditions, often having to engaging in long, bitter strikes to make any gains.
Deborah Littman, Roland Nelson, and Richard Wellen were active in those campaigns at Ryerson University, the University of Toronto and York University, and will talk about their experiences in building unions on these campuses. Stephanie Ross, a professor of Labour Studies, will discuss the broad trends of precarious academic labour. Join us for a lively and important discussion.

I’m sure most of you have seen or read The Hunger Games. Remember the phrase, “May the odds be ever in your favor!” as they sent the tributes to most likely DIE in the ring?
Yep, that pretty much sums up PMS for me as a mother.
Have you ever tried to mix PMS and parenting? It’s a whirlwind of emotions that will knock your socks off!
As a mom, PMS is a whole new ball game. There are no secrets anymore, and it gets even funner the more kids you have! If you are blissfully unaware of what time of month it is, you might wonder what on earth is wrong with you. Why is your life suddenly crumbling and falling apart? Why is your husband suddenly being such a jerk, and why is the whining coming from your kids mouth suddenly making you want to crawl into a black hole with a big bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs and french fries and NEVER come out??
Gotta love Easter clearance! These might even last me an entire day!
Just when you think you’ve reached the point of no return, you receive a wonderful gift. Your Period.
Your husband, who’s been hiding under the bed for the past 7 days, finally emerges, and life is grand again…for 3 weeks.
7 Helpful Hints for Dealing with PMS, as a husband, boyfriend, co-worker, or…whatever!
1. Be ‘practically perfect’ in every way cuz if you aren’t…you’re gonna hear about it man!
2. DO NOT EVER refer to the P word as the reason behind her sudden mood swings. If you slip and forget, be sure to duck and cover…fast!
3. Keep a rather large supply of chocolate and salty foods close by at all times. Make sure to hide it from the kids!
4. Do not attempt to argue or start a fight during this time. It’s JUST NOT WORTH IT!
5. Forewarn your children. Only YOU can see the signs when the volcano is about to erupt. Your children are only innocent bystanders. Parks will become your best friend.
6. Remember, “this too shall pass” and don’t give up! Avoid the temptation to cross off each day on the calendar hanging in the kitchen. Use your phone instead!
7. If all of the above fails, find a deep dark place (like under your bed), take cover and emerge when the storm is over. Pat yourself on the back. You made it another month!
7 Helpful Hints for dealing with PMS as a woman, wife, mother…or all of the above!
1. DO mark the calendar! Big red x’s are appropriate to remind not only yourself, but everyone who lives with you too!
2. Do NOT attempt to save the world during this week. Leave that to the women who are still happily floating on their 1, 2, and 3 week clouds.
3. Men are usually oblivious to this kind of thing. Do your husband a favor and forewarn him of stormy weather that is imminent. He might actually help you ‘take cover’ and even be a life saver when you think you are drowning.
4. Be gentle with yourself. PMS isn’t an excuse to be cruel to everyone around you, but forgive yourself if it’s hard to find your halo during this time.
5. Give yourself permission to chill! I’m braving the storm even as I’m typing. Today was tough! My 2 yr old flooded the bathroom upstairs and the ceiling downstairs! I completely lost it! My children were very afraid I’m sure! At least once today I told my husband that I needed to go in my room and just chill before I committed a felony. Feel free to take the Cadbury eggs and potato chips with you!
7. If your husband is hiding under the bed, drag him out and tell him to take the kids to the park! Then fill up the tub, put on some relaxing music, and eat some food rich in nutrients CHOCOLATE!

Perks is one of my all-time favourite books, and when I heard they were making a film of it, I was so excited. It's an uplifting story of Charlie, a wallflower, who begins his first year at high school. If you've not read the book or watched this film I recommend it! It always makes me feel better because I can relate to elements of it, and it reminds me how we all go through crappy times in our life - it's cathartic!
This is a rom-com classic starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, and written by the late great Nora Ephron (who also wrote Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail - other favourite films of mine). The main characters, Harry and Sally, begin with their long drive from Chicago to New York after college, and the story shows you that if two people are meant to be together, somehow they'll wind up back together again. I love it because it always makes me laugh, it's light-hearted and it's a generally happy film!
Written and directed by the wonderfully talented Richard Curtis, About Time is about a man who discovers he can travel back in time to change life for the better. It's got the typical British humour with hilarious characters, and it's just such a charming story! It always cheers me up because it's a comfort film for me and I love the message of living each day to the full.
I'll be honest, one of the reasons I love this film is because I love Christmas, and I love Christmas so much that I'll watch Christmas films any time of the year. The Holiday is a cosy, romantic comedy that always makes me happy to watch and I always try to work out which holiday I'd want to be in (have to say, I'd rather be Cameron Diaz and go to Surrey for Christmas than LA, but hey ho). Again, another charming and heart-warming film!
A Disney film had to be in here somewhere. Sorry not sorry because I love Frozen, and it always cheers me up, and it's beautifully made, and the songs are great, and again, it's another happy film. If you've seen it, chances are you'll be able to see why it's on this list!
Perhaps one of the best films ever, starring everyone's favourite actor, Forrest Gump is always the one that makes me laugh the most. It's got so many good lines, it's cleverly written, the characters are so endearing and it's so slyly funny that it couldn't not be on this list. You just want to give Tom Hanks a hug when you see him in this! It always makes me feel better and it will always be one of my favourites.

Children must be taught so that they learn to understand love. This is possibly the single most important task of every adult on this planet. Love is an art worth studying, and sharing. It is worth finding and having in your life. It does not come without compromise and it has numerous side-effects. Should there be any doubt, know that the side-effects are worth it. Love is extraordinarily powerful. It cannot be consumed. It is ever-present and ongoing. It is like a phoenix, rising each time from the ashes. We can love over and over. We can love everybody in our lives differently. I do not believe that we love the same each time. Our love is shaped by the individual we find ourselves connected with. It is moulded by the children to whom we give life and learning. The love generated in the 1960’s and 1970’s is still circumnavigating this globe, its waves are still felt in our hemispheres. That kind of resonance never dies. We all have a lot to thank free love for. There was a lot of oxytocin-induced euphoria happening. Perhaps the permissiveness of that time did not do society’s moral code any good, and that permissiveness bred a contempt – or lack of respect – for one another that it was not possible at the time to express, but that period is punctuated by a big love and for a while that feeling made a real difference in the world. I believe it changed the arc of man’s path, there were that many believers. When you have a large sector of the population feeling optimistic and in love with life, life thrives.
Then people became disillusioned, and people are still disillusioned. That in itself could open an interesting line of enquiry – whether or not it is advisable in the here and now to realise that everything is an illusion? Perhaps it is wise to accept that we live our illusions. Must we consider that we became disillusioned because our leaders made too many empty promises, too often? When mouths and minds speak of nothing then we eventually hear nothing. That is the way with ears, tongues. Perhaps we are disillusioned because the scaffolding of this world is taking major strain where its religions are concerned. We feel like we are living a giant lie since no one – no two parties can agree – what God even is. If it can be said that we all base our lives on our belief systems then it can be said that what we believe is very relevant. Each of us. If we can find common ground with our vision for the future then we can make positive changes happen and relieve some of the strain on the infrastructure, which is ultimately source. Raw energy. Most of us take our source for granted and we fail to appreciate that although it does not have a beginning or an end it has limits. We must respect these limits. We must put back into the system what is given, always. It is time. We must all bend our heads towards mending the planet, the force of collective thought can change this world’s destiny.

I opened my previous three columns by posing a question to readers, so I guess I’ll do so with today’s opener.
What state in the U.S. has the best hamburger shops?
I would assume that most will respond California or New York.
Yup. Good old Nevada. Led by Las Vegas.
And the best known and most popular one in Vegas is owned by a Japanese.
The next time I go to Vegas, I’ll give his hamburger place a try to see what makes it the best hamburger stand in America.
Well this coming Monday is a holiday, so I’ll have to adjust my writing day.
When we have Monday holidays I don’t have to write my column on Sunday, but on Monday for the Wednesday edition.
Since I’ve been on a Sunday/Wednesday writing schedule for over 20 years, it’s not that easy to change my work pattern.
Oh well, maybe I should have asked Editor Gwen if I could miss a day.
This Saturday the Nisei vets will be honored in Little Tokyo, so I guess I’ll drop by.
Although I am a vet, I don’t participate in many of the activities held annually to recognize the contributions the Nisei vets made during World War II.
So this year, I decided to at least attend the J-Town event.
Maybe I’ll even wear the cap from VFW post that I am a member of. That would be Post 1961 in Gardena. I’m a life member, but none of the members even know me.
That was a beautiful piece of writing Editor Gwen did on her wedding in Hawaii.
I wish I could have attended the ceremony, but her writing gave me a clear picture of the ceremony.
Hawaii is a very popular place for couples to get married.
At one time it was the top choice for couples from Japan to exchange their vows.
My youngest son was married in Honolulu mainly because he was stationed at the Air Force base there since he was an Air Force officer.
No, I don’t play the Powerball lottery, even when it reaches almost $600 million as last week’s did.
I’m satisfied playing the California Super Lotto, where the prize might reach as high as $50 million.
Hey, I wouldn’t know what to do with $50 million, let alone $600 million.
One of the ladies lined up to buy a Powerball ticket was asked what she would do if she won.
Her answer? Buy a new car.
Buy a new car with $600 million?
Heck, she can buy an auto dealership.
Oh well, food for thought.
A short email that made me think.
Good question. I often wondered about it myself.
Thanks for your email. Perhaps some JA can come up with an answer to your question.
“Angry protestors took to the streets in Tokyo’s Shin-Okubo district, home to many Korean shops and restaurants, describing Korean residents there as ‘cockroaches’ and calling for their immediate extermination.
“It was only the latest in a series of anti-Korean rallies in the neighborhood that have grown more intense in the past few months.
“Often spearheaded by the right-wing Zanichi Tokken wo Yurusanai Shimin no Kai, which translates literally as ‘citizen’s group that won’t tolerate special privileges for Korean residents in Japan,’ these protests have raised eyebrows, especially for their blatant racism and outright death threats.
“Some experts say this trend reflects growing public anxiety about the rise of South Korea at a time when, despite the recent stock rise and weakening yen, regular people still fell mired in Japan’s economic malaise.
“A 25-year-old businessman from Tokyo who said he is a regular participant in such rallies said his repugnance toward Koreans emerged after finding what he described as the ‘ugly truth’ two years ago while surfing the Internet.
“‘Korean residents in Japan are often using a Japanese alias, so even though they commit a crime, their real name won’t be made public,’ the man, who asked that his name not be used, said referring to the main theme of Sunday’s protest.
“Verbal onslaughts at the street level have long existed, but their frequency has drastically increased in the past three months, one Korean university student said.
In recent times, I have started to receive a lot of clippings about relocation camps, and since most folks know I was interned at Heart Mountain, most of the material is about the Wyoming camp.
The most recent one, a copy of The Sentinel, the camp newspaper.
I couldn’t read most of the stuff because the printing is not clear. It was a mimeographed copy.
However, one thing that was pretty clear was a display ad placed by the community dry goods store.
I guess we used to refer to it as a “grocery store.” However, they sold more than food goods.
In the Saturday, Oct.14, 1943 edition, the dry goods store was selling blankets, which nearly all internees needed.
The price for one blanket?
Would you guess 98 cents? Wow.
Of course, since those who worked in camp averaged about $8 a month, 98 cents was not that cheap.
Leather jackets, in the same ad, cost $9.95 and baby snowsuit, $2.10.
The store was open daily.
I remember buying a candy bar at the shop. I think I paid five cents.
Of course, I worked at the camp newspaper and my salary was $16 a month, so I don’t think five cents put that much of a dent in my pocket.
Yeah, when I joined the Army, I got a pay raise. As a private, I earned $21 a month.
Before entering the Army, I left camp to work on a farm in Worland, Wyoming, harvesting sugar beets.
My pay? How does 50 cents an hour strike you?
Speaking of memories, how many of you in the reading audience can identify the photo I’m throwing in here? It was taken in 1943 and I’m sure the youngsters posing for the camera are in their late 70s and early 80s now.
It’s not a real great photo, but it was printed in the camp newspaper and didn’t copy too well when I decided to use it.
A couple of faces are clear enough to be recognized, I think.
Those who might recognize the faces in the photo can email me or send a snail-mail to the Rafu office.
I’m pretty sure a lot of Nisei deal in yen, the Japanese currency.
So what can you buy with, say, 100 yen?
What about a pack of 40 cotton swabs?
Or even a picnic basket?
Well a 100 yen these days is worth about one dollar, so you do the math.
I have a thousand-yen note in my wallet, so I guess I can buy ten picnic blankets.
Okay, no column is complete without my mentioning Las Vegas.
I’d like to pose a question to readers.
I know most of the Nisei who go to Vegas stay Downtown, at The Cal, Main Street and Fremont Hotel.
However, how many of you have tried the new Nobu Hotel on The Strip?
The head chef at Nobu is named Nobu Matsuhisa.
The famed Nobu Restaurant, the world’s largest, is part of the hotel with the same name.
Hotel rooms at the Nobu, if anyone is contemplating a night’s stay, are listed at $249 a night.
Maybe that’s about 200 bucks more than accommodation at the Downtown facilities.

"GIFT | TRIBUTE | TABOO - WHAT ARE WE GIFTING?" is a duo porcelain exhibition of two well-known artists discussing the concept of "giving" that may be either sincere or having reciprocal hidden benefit. By individually hand painting them, Nino recreated traditional blue and white Chinese vases that she has seen in many places, adding traditional designs on one side and with her interpretation of the possible expectations on the other. Meanwhile, Wasinburee Supanichvoraparch presents a porcelain "tank" inspired by the "Dragoon Vases" - 151 blue and white porcelain vases from Ming and Qing Dynasty - that King Frederick William I sent to Augustus in exchange for a regiment of dragoons in 1717 and changed the direction of war with art.

NEW DELHI: India has cautioned World Trade Organisation (WTO) members against a backlash from developing countries if the pace of economic reforms is perceived to be an imposition from outside.
Such a perception could set back the whole process of multilateral trade negotiations, said Minister for Communications, IT and Disinvestment Arun Shourie.
He was presenting India's views in Montreal, Canada, during three days of talks on WTO negotiations in the run-up to the ministerial meeting in the Mexican town of Cancun.
The minister emphasised that if the pace of economic reforms caused dislocation or was perceived as an imposition from outside, there could be a backlash, which would set back the whole process of multilateral trade negotiations.
"Stick to the (Doha) text and be cautious in moving forward," Shourie said in his message to the mini-ministerial meeting, according to a statement issued here by the commerce ministry Wednesday.
Attended by 24 member countries, Montreal is the third mini-ministerial meeting being held as a run-up to the Cancun conclave in September.
Shourie said agriculture was a key concern of India in the WTO negotiations, as it could affect not only the food security of the country but also the livelihood of vast numbers of people dependent on the farm sector.
Referring to the proposed negotiations on Special Products of interest to developing countries, Shourie said the selection of such products must be on the basis of self-declaration.
A multilaterally agreed criteria was not feasible, he said, pointing to the fact that in India there were about 35 crops with about five million people dependent on each. Besides, there were over 25 crops cultivated in areas of over one million hectares each.
"The Special Products would need to be combined with special safeguard measures, with suitable trigger mechanisms in terms of both import volume and price, in order to protect the interests of farmers," he said.
"There should also be real reduction in trade distorting agricultural subsidies without the camouflage of shifting of boxes and the key issue of non-tariff barriers (NTBs), which hindered exports from developing countries, should be adequately addressed," Shourie said.
On Singapore issues related to competition and investment, Shourie made it clear that there should be explicit consensus on the modalities, in accordance with the Doha mandate, before any negotiations as "nobody would like to take the first step without knowing where it will all lead".
He also emphasised that Singapore issues could not be a trade-off for negotiations on agriculture or non-agriculture market access and that they should be treated independently.
"Singapore issues should not in any manner be made the focus of the meet at Cancun," the minister stressed.

Oprah Winfrey told reporters she was miffed when a Swiss shop clerk wouldn’t sell her a handbag… Made of crocodile skin.
She is one of the richest and most famous women on the planet.
So when Oprah Winfrey popped in to an upmarket boutique for a new designer handbag she was taken aback when the shop assistant refused to show her a bag.
She said the £24,460 crocodile skin item was ‘too expensive’.
Instead of making a scene, the billionaire TV magnate calmly left the Swiss store.
It seems like an odd purchase for PETA’s 2008 Person of the Year.
Oprah won the award from PETA in 2008.

Alwin Reyes, a 39-year old father of two, found a way to augment his family’s income without leaving the vicinity of their house.
In his backyard in Sitio Aprot, Brgy. Caparispisan, Pagudpud, Alwin grows Agoho seedlings for a community-based seedling production program in Ilocos Norte. He and his wife Analyn plant the seeds that they collect from the forest in polyethylene potting bags and nurse them for five months. The potting bags were provided by North Luzon Renewables (NLR) and were bought for P14.00 (US$0.275) each. These seedlings are hardened for a month in the NLR nursery before they are planted within the NLR windfarm.
Alwin’s small plot can accommodate 1,000 seedlings and the supplemental income has allowed him to send his two children, Llewyn John and John Lloyd, to school. Like Alwin’s family, 132 other families in Caparispisan and the neighboring barangays are engaged in the seedling production program initiated by NLR. They expect to achieve its goal of planting over 200,000 seedlings in Pagudpud by October 2017.
NLR owns the 81MW wind farm in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.

John’s dad Bill founded the first winery on the east side of Seneca Lake in 1979. The Wagners are in their fifth generation of growing grapes and all of their wines come from their own grapes grown on their farms. That is what is known as estate grown.
As you saw or will see in this episode of Wine About the Weather, I spent my time with John in the vineyard; he and his sister Laura now co-own Wagner Vineyards.
John is what I’d call a farming scientist. He is fascinating to talk with, as he knows every little faction of farming the family vines. He’s loyal and appreciative to & of his family, the land and the lake. And oh by the way, his Caywood East Dry Riesling was just named the best dry Riesling in the whole, big, beautiful United States. Related to that, I had an experience that drove home how much I love this show and this project.
I was standing in the vineyard that supplied the “raw materials” that delivered said award-winning Riesling, drinking it with the man who farmed said grapes and who owns the family business. It just doesn’t get any cooler than that. And since dry Riesling is my favorite white wine, it made it all the better.
Katie was so cool and helpful. First, she was kind enough to stand in a chilly northwest breeze coming off of Seneca Lake, while recovering from a cold and holding a bottle of that Riesling with some glasses for John and me.
She then came up with her own tasting/pairing menu for us and set it all up to be a part of the show.
Lastly, I was struck by one other thing out there. I’m not much of a businessman, but I know that competition is part of the deal. With 60+ wineries on Seneca Lake, one might think that there is a “gentle tolerance” at best and hostility at worst amongst the wineries and vineyards. That is simply not the case. In fact, it seemed like a lot of the wine folks know each other and they all realize that they have a common goal in producing and sharing some great wines. It was refreshing to see and makes for a good vibe anywhere along the lake.
I hope you’ll get a chance to go out and visit. You won’t be disappointed.

Paul gathers material and then paints in his studio using pictures he has taken, which he can then edit to suit.
He uses a heavy Saunders paper and draws with a 6b pencil often using a scalefinder to scale up his picture. His aim with this picture was to use a light area on the road as a focus.
He then used a hair dryer to dry the paper ready for the addition of stronger values.
He now started to break the painting down into manageable sections using smaller brushes where needed, often working wet on wet, sometimes using a spray, to ensure a softness between shapes.
The road was then painted with Cobalt Blue and Burnt Sienna mixed for the shadows.
Everything was now blocked in and the painting started to emerge. The details were now starting to be added. Sometimes he splashed water on areas and other times the surface of the paper was used to add effects.
After finishing the waste land on the left, texture and details were added to the wall.
He then moved back to the building, adding windows with White Designers Gouache, with a little Ceruleum Blue added to reflect the sky. The window frames were then added using the white.
Broken fencing was then added on the waste land to add interest before paint was flicked from a stiff brush onto the wall. Final details, such as the telegraph pole and some highlights were then added.
At this stage Paul decided the painting was at a suitable stage to be left. He would then come back to it in a couple of days to access if anything else needed doing.
This was a fascinating insight into his working methods and certainly inspired the members. It was also helpful to see how he set up the technical equipment for future reference.


text: Maybe if I grew up in an section that had milder temperatures, I would have developed a deeper interest in athletic interesting activities, however nonetheless, I grew up in the Deep South, and the heat has always made any excessive amount of physical exertion outside to be that much more tougher on the body. It was in elementary college when I realized it was just too darn boiling for myself and others to get into outside athletic interests! I would always come in from recess perspiring up a storm, craving the air-conditioning of the building. Thus, the best part of recess was returning to the undefined! Junior high and high college were worse, because now gym was an actual class and not a time of leisure. Now it was mandatory to play athletic interests outside in that heat. I always prayed for a rainy day when the two of us would be forced to stay inside while I was in gym class. On those days, I did not care how wet it was, all I cared about was spending the entirety of gym stage with the benefit of undefined. In fact, that is why I developed an affinity for a single single athletic interest while I was in our time at college, but because the two of us had an indoor hoops court, that is the athletic interest that I most favorite playing while I was in gym class. Sure, you would still get boiling and boiling while I was in a game, but at least you had the undefined to cool you off all the while. I recognize our aversion to outdoor athletic interests may seem silly or wimpy to some, but maybe you have never experienced heat.

I doubt that will help. Try the 1.2.19 BIOS first. That's when Dell fixed the brightness flickering issue. If that doesn't work you might need a new screen. Replacing the LCD isn't very difficult if you can find one with the frame.
I had to have mine replaced when i got the laptop.
Dell has apparently fixed the problem in newer 9560s but isn't going to fix or even publish a fix for 9550s and older 9560s. That does indeed point toward a hardware problem but I can attest to the fact that a full Windows reset fixed my 9550 - I think.
If you have the ability to clone an M.2 SSD, you can try the full reset and then restore the system from the cloned drive if it doesn't work. Reinstalling everything is a pain but preferable to flickers.
this is what sorted it for my on my 9550.
The other issue is windows update replacing the display driver so make sure device manager reports the same version if it plays up after using DDU and fresh drivers, I would go with the Dell intel video driver to start with.
DDU fixed my flicker and also the blanking when the intel driver crashed.
I have used DDU a couple times to update a couple different sets of drivers and it was not effective. I have checked the event viewer and found some display errors that say "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." as well as "The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer." So I'm assuming this is the NVIDIA driver?
I'm sorry I'm now posting in the wrong thread about this problem. Last question. I will try to do a clean install with the ISO Gonzo has for Windows 10. Is a 16gb flash drive sufficient?
the nv***** points to the nvidia drivers surprisingly.
Dell fixed the issue on the 9550 (of brightness flickering) in the bios 1.2.19. What Zaneman is experiencing is a hardware issue, i can't remember correctly but i had the same issue and had to have the screen replaced then i got the brightness flicker which got fixed when the 1.2.19 came out.
I did a clean install and now do not have the same problem I had in the video. I still have screen flashing but it does not lock me out or force my mouse to the middle of the screen like before. It seems to be worse with the GPU enabled and I have disabled my GPU altogether and now my computer is annoying but usable for daily use.

Looks good. But is the confirmation necessary?
However instead of "'Your rating has been accepted." actual rating image (with stars highlighted that user rated for) or both star and text message would be a great idea - since it gives users instant output view of their own rating.
Hm... I always get message "Your vote is accepted" although, vote isn't accepted.
Ok, I understand now. Yes, I was voting for link I have already voted just to see will message change, but it doesn't change.
nice plugin, but I have there is one problem. On your site the "rate this product"-stars are difficult to find, cause they are blank.
The second problem is, that you have two star images. The already rated and the stars where we can rate.
In my wordpress blog. I have a rating system that includes this two parts into one.
I don't see why that couldn't be done - will try and have a look at it later today.
Man, that was a sod!
This more what you are thinking of?
Its only on the ultranerds site atm, not packaged up just yet.
I tried doing it with half stars too, but couldn't get to work.
Ok, here is the latest version. What I did, was "merge" the different options in.
I've just uploaded a new version, as the .js file had a bug in it.
Are those the actual images that you use or just a screenshot? I can adapt those with photo editing software if it helps but I'd rather get the actual gifs that you are using if the attached isn't.
Thats the actual image :) Basically, the CSS shows each line.. so what you'd need to do, is make the image 2 times the height, and 2 times the width. Then make 10 stars instead of 5.
See if the attached is any use.
..but it gives an error about line 11. It works fine in Chrome, IE8 and FF 3, so can't work out where the issue is coming from - eugh!

That sounds good, in principle anyway. What's going to power your load when the wind stops? Or when the wind is going up and down every coupld of minutes?
coimbatorean: you are just a dreamer. You have developed the generator in your MIND.
Stop wasting our time with your DREAMS.
I wouldn't go that far as to dismiss it so entirely.
His concept is feasible but would prove it self most likely impractical and at times very limited as to what it could actually power by itself.
Being that he mentions grid tyeing it he wouldn't need a battery because the grid will work as the battery. That would allow the varying output of the generator to work while still keeping that loads supplied with a reasonably stable power source.
I agree. He also said it was suitable for very low wind speeds. A generator with a very low cut-in speed might be able to provide many hours of continuous power, although that would requires a much larger windmill so it may not be as cost effective as a setup optimised for higher wind speeds.
One issue I keep seeing is so many people think they have a great I idea about how to get more energy out of the wind.
I recall there is an upper limit to what percentage of the wind energy is realistically capturable. About 50% seems to be the top end of realistic and practical design as I have ever been able to find. Above that the blade designs become very application specific and thus very limited to what wind speed and load range they can work in.
Plus I see so many people that seem to think that they can design for low winds and get good power. Basic wind speed to power laws pretty much dictate that high power from low wind will take very large rotors and very low friction generators to get anything useful out of it. And that makes the designs very expensive to build for what power they do produce. Plus purely by design that also make them far more likely to get damaged in higher winds too.
Designing for low wind will require those super efficient blades and generators to have to be deliberately made less and less efficient as the wind speeds get higher just to govern the power output capacity in order to prevent damage.
So whats the point of being 50+% efficient at 5 MPH winds and producing 100's of watts and then having to drop the working efficiency down to a few percent in order to prevent damage at higher wind speed where it should be generating 1000's of watts?
Anybody else having problem with unzipping Val Gretchev's zip files? I have downloaded and saved them to all to a local drive. Not one will extract - "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive". I am using older WinZip 8.1.
tmctech, Are there any disadvantages to using using Germanium Diodes? Given they drop only 0.3 Volts vs. 0.7 Volts (Silicon Diode) at 100 Amps wouldn't that be 40 Watts less wasted heat per diode?
I dont have any problem with it. The one possible down side to Germanium diodes may be their lower reverse blocking voltage capacity's but in a low voltage high current system they would free up a few more percent efficiency wise and could justify being used.
Aren't Germanium diodes more sensative to heat?
Well here goes....I have the 28V , center tapped transformer rated for 30A DC. Also got a few caps and inductors. This was a power supply.
My goal is to somehow make a GTI....got to find some IGBTs....and a lot more knowledge!
TCMTECH....is this transformer OK ? it is rated for cont.duty. Any suggestions?
Tcmtech thats a clever way of synchronizing a inverter to the grid. I like it! Its simple and easy to understand. Are you ever going to do more in depth write ups here? Or has the jerks and dummies chased you off permanently?
I would like to see more myself.
In my opinion whats legal and what can be built are two different things.
I am glad to see someone like you putting useful information out so that people like me who want to learn about how things like grid tyeing actually work can learn about them from a actual design standpoints. Thank you.
I'm Evil, I have a "Moon Base", a "Time Machine" ,and a "big frickin laser" thats why. Oh, and Mini Me of course. He's a small threat but still worth mentioning.
The 28 volt transformer will work. I have no idea what it rated for. If the power supply was rated for putting out 28 volts at 30 amps continuous the yes it probably rated for over 700+ VA as well.
Making a basic GTI is not that hard. Its the safety interlock controls that will actually take more time and effort.
Glad to hear your going to try it! Keep us informed and dont be surprised if you get jumped all over for your efforts though.
Are you ever going to do more in depth write ups here? Or has the jerks and dummies chased you off permanently? I would like to see more myself.
Thanks for the support! I have thought about it but still if you have read most of the threads relating to GTI circuits its seems to be split on can it be done and is it worth the hassle of dealing with the jerks and dummies while trying to present good and useful information..
Overall the thread has been getting an overwhelming number of views which is very encouraging and I do have more information I may share later this winter so be patient.
I agree with the whats buildable and whats legal things as well!
As far as I have seen in this whole thread.....TCMTECH has given more REAL world info than anyone I have found on the net so far...it seems like there are a bunch of people out there that are afraid of trying ANYTHING that isnt written in a book.
Attached file is Grid tie inverter 1KW . The circuit use DSP for main processor . There are no DSP software open code . I Think this should be idea for develope Grid inverter.
I cant get it to open. It comes up with a damaged or incomplete file error.
Seems plausible but I would have conserns about the output filtering and of couse a microprcessor based unit is basicaly usles without the proper software to make it work.
Possibly taking out the uC and replacing it with a class D amplifier IC and a few circuit and control system changes would work.
The H-bridge to transformer part is fairly standard.
Its the control end that is the secret to how they work.
I think it is very interesting how they used the (IC4) ICL7665S (Over / Under Voltage Detector) for Anti-Islanding. I think, the OUT1 / OUT2 line pulses low for a portion of each and every half cycle with very specific timing to prove that a reasonably good AC Sine Wave with the proper Voltage and Frequency from the Grid still exists. Possibly, this Inverter is shut down if the Voltage and/or Frequency are not within spec's.
This appears to be a PWM Inverter so it should make a reasonably good sine wave.
The circuit for IC4 was "lifted" directly from the Intersil Data Sheet (fig 12 - Single Supply Fault Monitor) but is used here to monitor the Semi-Smoothed Half Wave signal on C12/C13.
If another Pure Sine Wave Inverter or Generator made a "good-enough" sine wave, I think, this Anti-Islanding circuit would keep this Grid-Tie Inverter online. I think that is OK.
1) R20 / R21 / R22 are missing a connection dot.
2) R23 / R24 / R25 are missing a connection dot.
3) G8 L7805 is missing a ground connection symbol.
Also, I think the Zero-Cross detector can also stop this Grid Tie Inverter when the AC Grid is down.
There's no need for a small grid tie inverter to be so complex!
To turn that into a grid-tie, all it needs is one simple and reliable system to detect mains edge, that will be used for synchronising the inverter to the mains and also to ensure the inverter will shut down if the mains edge does not occur.
It would only need minor additions to my Sinewave Inverter software to add an optocoupler to do the mains edge detect.
On the same page there is another circuit that synchronises to the mains edge, which is used to generate 60Hz from 50Hz but with minor changes it could easily synchronise 60Hz to 60Hz with the phase angle you desire etc.

This page provides an overview of various approaches to social media policies for local government staff and officials in Washington State, including sample policy language and examples.
It is part of MRSC's Electronic Records Policy Tool Kit, created in partnership with the Washington State Auditor's Center for Government Innovation.
Social media is a complex topic from both a legal and policy standpoint. This page focuses on the intersection between social media and the Public Records Act (PRA). For more information about social media policies and their general management, see MRSC's blog Establishing Effective Social Media Policies and the section in this page offering Examples of Internal Social Media Management Policies.
Clarifying that use of personal (including campaign) social media accounts should not be used to create public records and providing guidance to agency officials and employees on best practices in that regard.
With respect to personal social media accounts, there has been clarification from the Washington Court of Appeals that a councilmember's personal Facebook posts do not constitute public records if they are not created within the councilmember’s official capacity. However, it is important to note that there still are situations in which use of a personal social media account may result in creation of a public record. For more information, see West v. City of Puyallup, and MRSC’s blog New Ruling Finds Facebook Posts Can Be a Public Record.
Public Records and Retention: All information posted and other activity conducted on Agency social media sites is subject to the Public Records Act and Office of the Secretary of State Records Management Guidelines and Retention Schedules.
All Agency social media sites shall contain a statement that all content submitted by users is potentially subject to disclosure pursuant to the Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW. Where appropriate, users and visitors to the Agency's social media sites should be directed to submit public records requests to the Agency's Public Records Officer.
All information and content on an Agency social media site that is required to be retained under state and local retention policies and guidelines shall be maintained for the required retention period on an Agency server in a format that preserves the metadata of the original record. Prior approval of the retention format and procedures for each Agency social media tool being used shall be obtained from the Communication Officer.
In order to ensure appropriate retention of public records, most content posted by Agency personnel on Agency social media sites should not be original source content (content that has not been created anywhere else and only exists on the social media site), but rather a secondary copy of information that is posted on the Agency website or contained in an electronic copy or a hard copy. If original content is posted on a social media site, that information shall be retained in accordance with the Agency's records retention policies and other applicable laws, for at least the minimum retention period listed for those records beginning the date of posting. Copies of records the Agency already retains elsewhere will be considered secondary copies and shall be retained accordingly.
Department staff are responsible for ensuring retention of the original-source content in an organized, searchable electronic format. The records should be retained in such a manner that it can be deleted after meeting the required retention periods.
All edits made to posted content and comments posted by outside users on Agency social media sites, including those that are inappropriate and removed by staff, shall be retained as outlined by the governance for each social media tool. When staff edits their posted content or removes inappropriate content, a record of that staff name, date, and time the content was edited or removed shall be retained in an organized, searchable electronic format. The records should be retained in such a manner that it can be deleted after meeting the required retention periods.
Stanwood Social Media Policy (2013) - Contains general public records policy language and then sets forth specific standards for use of Facebook and Twitter at Section 3.3.9 and Section 4.3 respectively.
The Agency social media sites are subject to the State of Washington public records laws. Any content maintained in a social media format that is related to Agency business, including a list of subscribers and posted communication, is a public record. Content related to Agency business shall be maintained in an accessible format and so that it can be produced in response to a request. Whenever possible, such sites shall clearly indicate that any articles and any other content posted or submitted for posting are subject to public disclosure. Users shall be notified that public disclosure requests must be directed to the Agency public records officer.
Washington state law and relevant Agency record retention schedules apply to social media formats and social media content. Unless otherwise addressed in a specific social media standards document, the department maintaining a site shall preserve records required to be maintained pursuant to a relevant records retention schedule for the required retention period in a format that preserves the integrity of the original record and that is easily accessible. Appropriate retention formats for specific social media tools are detailed in the Agency Twitter and Facebook standards incorporated into this policy.
Some social media policies are limited to agency social media accounts and do not address use of personal social media accounts for discussing issues pertaining to the agency. The policies that address personal social media accounts generally provide information to employees and officials on how to avoid creating public records on their personal accounts.
You may access your personal social media accounts at work for limited personal communications as long as it doesn’t interfere with your tasks.
Do not use an Agency email address when using social media in personal capacities. For example, don’t create a personal Facebook or Twitter account using your [agency].gov email address.
Twitter bio: Tweets are my own.
Blog or website bio: While I work for [the Agency], anything I publish is my personal opinion and should not be considered the opinions or position of [the Agency].
Whether or not you specify on your personal social media accounts that you work for the Agency, the fact that you are employed by the Agency is public information. Be mindful that whenever you discuss issues in an online platform, whether in a personal or professional capacity, your comments can be tied back to your employment with the Agency.
Nothing in this handbook is meant to prevent an employee from exercising his or her right to make a complaint of discrimination or other workplace misconduct, engage in lawful collective bargaining activity, or to express an opinion on a matter of public concern.
Social Media Rules: Social media use, whether on or off-duty, that adversely affects an employee’s job performance, the performance of other Agency employees, or that otherwise adversely affects the Agency’s mission and functions may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Note that employees have First Amendment freedoms of speech and association, and no discipline will be sustained that violates such rights.
Social media content that relates to Agency business may be a public record subject to retention and disclosure under state law. For that reason, except for when assigned as part of their official duties, employees are prohibited from using social media to conduct Agency business.
Employees are required to protect and maintain the confidentiality of all private and confidential Agency information.
Employees may not create a link from their blog, website or other social networking site to an Agency website if such a link causes the viewer to reasonably believe that the Agency endorses the contents of the employee’s social media site.
Employees may not use their Agency email address or the Agency’s official logo for personal online communications or activities. Although employees may identify themselves as employees of the Agency, employees shall not identify themselves in a manner that suggests or implies they are speaking as a representative for the Agency, even when the communication occurs in a private setting. If any confusion is reasonably likely, the employee shall expressly state with a disclaimer that he/she is speaking in a personal individual capacity and not for or on behalf of the Agency.
Below are some examples of policies focused on the general management of social media for agency staff and departments from local jurisdictions. Policies are ordered by jurisdiction type and population size.
Below are some resources that provide best practices and guidelines on social media use for government agencies.
Can a PRA requestor remain anonymous?

League 1: I'm done with Keenum and all other Houston players (AJ included, so glad I didn't trade for him). Pick one to replace Keenum until Rodgers comes back: Fitzpatrick, Palmer, Glennon, Tannehill, Foles, Ponder. I've lost my last two solely because of Keenum. This league is very competitive, so I can't afford to lose another one.
League 2: QB: Same question as above, but with slightly different options: Kaepernick, Dalton, Tannehill, Fitzpatrick, Foles, Ponder, Glennon, Manuel.
RB: Would you drop Ivory, Tate or MJD for Ray Rice? Someone straight up dropped him.
I want to say Foles, but I just know he does great until I pick him up. I got two good weeks out of Keenum and then he's been terrible the last two weeks. I need a sure thing, but none of these guys fit the bill.
I would play the matchups personally. Foles has a couple juicy matchups coming up.
Either Ivory or Tate. I'd lean towards Tate after yesterday's debacle.

James L. Benedict, The Journal of Clinical Ethics 28, no. 4 (Winter 2017): 303-7.
One response to the chronic shortage of organs for transplant in the United States has been the passage of laws establishing first-person authorization for donation of organs, providing legal grounds for the retrieval of organs and tissues from registered donors, even over the objections of their next of kin. The ethical justification for first-person authorization is that it is a matter of respecting the donor’s wishes. The objection of some next of kin may be that the donor would not have wished for his or her loved ones to have their preferences overridden, had they considered that possibility. This article examines the basis of the conflict and suggests a remedy grounded in the provision of donor-intent options that have the ability to clarify the donor’s wishes.

Men’s fashions feature many short lived trends. However, some types of clothing for men are classic and never seem to go out of style. For instance, take a classic dress shirt. These garments typically can be worn for many years due to their classic style.
When men’s dress shirts are designed, many elements of style go into the making of them. By understanding these elements, men can be more perceptive of them when selecting dress shirts. When men purchase shirts, they do so according to the circumference of the collar and the length of the sleeves. Fabric and fit are important aspects of any dress shirt selection. However, there are other features that are important to consider. These would be the collar, cuffs, placket and pleats.
The collar is an important characteristic of men’s dress shirts. The style and cut of the color can have impact. For instance, the type of collar can often help determine how formal of an occasion for which it should be worn. Also, collar type is key when selecting a shirt that will flatter a man’s body. Of all the collars, the button down collar is the most casual and works well for wearing without a tie. This doesn’t mean they don’t look well with ties because they can be worn with them as well. They look sharp when paired with sweaters, blazers and sport coats. Most men’s t-shirts have pointed collars. Some are standard length and some are longer and some are shorter. The standard size works best for every body type. The shorter ones look better on men who have narrow faces. On the other hand, longer collars look better on round faces.
As far as shirt cuffs, most men’s dress shirts come with barrel cuffs. Most have single buttons but some can have more. When considering a shirt for a formal occasion, those with French cuffs are a good option.

MANCHESTER, England -- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says speculation surrounding Manchester United's pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino is "there for a reason" because Tottenham have performed so well under the Argentinian.
"He's done a very good job," Solskjaer told a news conference on Thursday.
"The speculation is there for a reason because he's done well but it's not my job to rate different managers. My focus is on me and my team."
"He looked OK towards the end so he will be fit," said United's caretaker manager. "He did have some problems but came through the last couple of sessions well so he should be OK."
Solskjaer enjoyed success against them as a player scoring seven goals in 13 games and the 45-year-old has promised to attack Pochettino's side.
"We are playing one of the best teams in the league and have to be aware of their strengths," said Solskjaer.
"But I have been brought up in a way. We need to attack teams, that's our strength as well going forward and attacking as a team.
"We won't get as many chances to attack against this team as before so we've got to be ready when we've got hold of the ball and play well, use it because Wembley is a decent-sized pitch.
"We've had tests but of course this is against a top, top side and if we want to get close to them and go past them we will need a good result."

...Turkey is late, very late, in a business where first to the market is an essential tenent.
Erdogan has meddled in his neighbours' affairs for years now, yet, they have moved on, and while an empty chair awaits him, still, he insists their affairs are illegal; he imagines a Turkey where the Treaty of Lausanne does not exist, a Cyprus does not exist, (never mind UNCLOS) and where those who lack his vision will cease in their affairs without Turkey's permission.
...indeed tearing the Cypriot People out of any equation has been an effort where Turkey has failed, now decades into it. Despite dividing these dwellers into "Greeks" (read: those not "Turkish"), and "Turks", despite the process of assimilation, illegal settlement, changing the toponyme, economic (and religious) subjugation, even in the occupied part of Cyprus, Cypriots (politically speaking) still represent about half the population. Brave Cyprus indeed, small, so small compared to Turkey's bigness has survived, despite its dysfunctions, to prosper, and, to lead.
...indeed, without a Cyprus, Turkey rules this sea.
...not "Greek" or "Turkish", very different to them, and, Cypriot; another example.
True!!!, in my Cyprus so long as you are a Citizen, toward the State you will be identified as an Individual, only.
Voting thricely, each citizens votes for a Turkish Cypriot representative, a Greek Cypriot representative, as well as an Independent representative.
"So you propose to have us TCs scattered all over the island in enclaves surrounded on all sides by GCs?", eric d.
not true, having enclaves scattered over the whole island implies that Greek Cypriots can return as communities in the north without destroying the fabric of the society which will surround them. Turkish Cypriots will have the opportunity to development land for their society's prosperity island wide as well with their enclaves in the south.
most importantly, I think is the recognition we can give to the displaced reciprocally by this change to our political-geography, and homes can be offered to the Settlers and those that will be displaced instead of houses.
Both true, although our founding is a commitment to change, and people as Cypriots, and as Tc's and as Gc's are to be accommodated.
"Cypriotism", just sticking to the subject.
... "others" may forget that to survive we must defend each other as Cypriots, Cypriots don't.
..."they" will not divide Cyprus, it is the "Turks", of Cyprus, who will feel betrayed, what is Cypriot is Cypriot; indeed; to divide Cyprus, is to set the template for the division of Turkey.
...yes, indeed, prepare for the Communal Chamber to open, prepare the Legislature with its empty seats filled, prepare for the minority rights of Constituents, so that as Constituents they may have their special needs provided. Is this the plan 'b' Akinci will provide the electorate, those Cypriot, who voted for him?
...indeed, it takes the Flag of Cyprus flying highest behind Mr. Akinci, for there to be any respect or recognition for him, at this point, should he dare to say, that while he is Turkish, he is no "Turk", and, he is Cypriot.
...indeed, Cyprus must reform itself, Cypriots want, as Individuals, the Freedom to live their lives based on merit, without further distinction or discrimination, based on Universal Principals and a Rule of Law they defend and seek to better united.
...indeed, being Bicommunal, as Persons, they seek the Liberty to express themselves as such. And as such, it is possible, if there is unanimity as Constituencies (something within the Communal Chamber), which the Legislature may consider in their work, Cyprus' Constitutional reform.
...not a terrific article by Mr. Alper's, given his capacity to stimulate debate, however his learned opinion opens the door to a return to the Constitution, for a solution, as he subtly suggests.
...wish i had one like that.
