Aeon Timeline is the timeline tool for creative thinking. Most traditional timeline applications are designed to suit a single need: to create an attractive display of one- dimensional time. They are presentational, static, and perfectly suited to overhead slides and projectors.
More than just a timeline: Aeon Timeline is more than a series of events on a never-ending line. With Aeon, you can divide your timeline into logical groups, projects, or concurrent arcs. You can model the relationships between events and people, places, and ideas.
Ultimate Flexibility: Select the timeline style you want, from standard events with fixed dates to relative dates counting hours, days, or weeks from a nominal zero.
Direct Data Manipulation: We care about how you use the timeline, not just how it looks. Most timeline applications are static tools designed for presentation rather than creation.
Hide Complex Data: The only thing more important than capturing all of your complex data is not letting it distract you from your current task. With Aeon, you can filter events according to people, places, arcs, labels, and tags.
Data Interoperability: We know that your timeline is a tool to help you in another task, be it writing a novel, planning a project, or researching a case. Printing and image exporting allow you to capture your entire file, or just what is visible on the screen.

These individual-sized tarts can be customized to everyone’s preference. Swap out bacon for sausage or leftover cooked vegetables, along with your favorite cheese or chopped fresh herbs.
On a lightly floured surface, gently roll dough into a circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Carefully cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Transfer each portion to a 4-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Press gently into bottom and up sides of pan. Trim off any excess or uneven pieces. Place pans on a baking sheet and set aside.
Prick bottom of each tart crust with a fork, then cover bottoms with a sheet of parchment paper and fill each with dried beans. Bake until crusts are set, about 15 minutes. Remove paper and beans. Allow crust to cool.
Divide cheese among tart shells, followed by bacon. Carefully fill each with egg, filling just to top of each shell. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 25 minutes or until tarts have set, with a slight jiggle in center and lightly golden-brown edges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Animal scientists are extremely concerned with providing safe and effective handling of livestock and companion animals. The animal behavior section works to provide scientific research and information on topics such as corral and working facilities, proper animal handling, and animal health.
A graduate program is available in animal behavior, and undergraduate students interested in animal behavior have a wide variety of courses from which to choose.
Most of the animal behavior research at Texas A&M is “applied ethology”, or studying the behavior of animals that are under the control of people and then linking that to some aspect of production efficiency, stress or welfare. Some of our studies are also relatively basic, dealing with issues such as cognition, perception, and measurement of stress.

Nicolas Sarkozy, coming into the home straight of the presidential campaign, is urging the French to spend their money on locally manufactured goods. His rival, Francois Hollande, also spoke in similar vein recently, albeit in a less nationalistic tone. But in essence they are both saying the same thing – that Europe must protect its markets both by encouraging home grown consumption as well as by restricting access to outsiders.
Both candidates condemned outsourcing to countries with lower production costs, especially those in Central and Eastern Europe. Sarko proposes to do this with tighter borders and the fuelling of anti immigration paranoia. To stimulate the European economy, the candidate for the right is even suggesting supporting European companies by offering them public works contracts. This is a very French approach. Expatriated French companies are known to stick together. They usually hold accounts with French banks, drive French cars and favour French telecom providers. The long term usefulness of this approach should be questioned. It’s high time we put the spotlight on what is wrong with Europe and whether such an approach is the best one.
The economic crisis has wreaked havoc in people’s minds. In 2009 – the epicentre of the crisis – capitalism was pronounced dead and Keynes was on everyone’s lips. This triumph was however short lived because a mere year later the crisis had lurched into a fiscal debacle. Economic stimulus on the back of government borrowing just didn’t work. Moreover in extreme cases this even led to a critical loss of liquidity. At the same time it became clear that countries ignoring the effect of protectionist policies on competitiveness, slow down. And if debt piles up – be it private or public – distrust mounts and in extreme cases there is a risk of insolvency. Italy is an example of this. For a whole decade per capita GDP growth was -0.25%. In other words, during those ten years there was no growth and thanks to a longstanding high level of debt (120% of GDP), it lost the confidence of the markets regarding its ability to service that debt. There were reasons for that lack of growth. It’s worth recalling the time when Italy decided it would be better to make Fiat 500s in Italy. Obviously this was about supporting Italian industry and protecting local jobs but manufacturing costs went up and so did the price of the car, thus making it less competitive. This was not an isolated incident. When it became the norm, Italy lost its competitive edge. Common protectionism masquerading as defence of local jobs.
At the other extreme is Germany which massively takes advantage of cheap labour from Central and Eastern Europe which has now become the backbone of German car production and other industries. The Germans don’t urge anyone to buy German goods because people want to do that anyway. No one fights outsourcing and Germany is still competitive. Their main problem is low internal demand and over-reliance on exports. Of course they have benefitted from the weak euro but none of this just manifested out of thin air. For the past ten years Germany has kept wages in check while in most countries in southern Europe and in France, wages grew and grew.
Unfortunately these cause and effect relationships are very complicated. People tend to reach for protectionist slogans especially in countries with a socialist tradition like France. It’s difficult to tell to what extent either presidential candidate is speaking sincerely or just electioneering. But words uttered during an election campaign tend to be remembered. Whichever way you look at it, a scared, crisis ridden Europe is slowly bringing in reforms, while harbouring protectionist convictions in petto. But the pleasant, civilised and well liked european model is simply not globally competitive. Fortunately the German example shows how to be both European and competitive. But this can only be achieved with hard work and a constant search for fresh competitive advantages. The credit fuelled days of wine and roses are over.

Arsenal fans just seem to love starting petitions and here’s a new one gathering momentum.
This time, Gooners are campaigning against Arsenal majority shareholder Stan Kroenke.
The petition was started a month ago and is titled ‘Stop Stan Kroenke Destroying Arsenal Football Club’ but it has started gathering momentum.
More than 4,000 people have signed the change.org petition at the time of writing and it’s likely to continue growing.
"I am an Arsenal fan, and I am fed up. Over the past two years I have built up an Instagram following of over 100,000 Arsenal fans, due to my passion and love for this club, but it's time I woke up. For too long now I have waited for my club to start acting like they want to achieve something, and there is one person stopping that - Stan Kroenke. Comments have emerged from Kroenke saying "I didn't buy Arsenal stake to win trophies". He will not give us the funds we need to be successful because it isn't profitable to him. Its about time Arsenal fans stood up and said Arsenal aren't being profitable to us at all. Last year Arsenal made the most in the world, yes WORLD, in ticket prices and also in matchday merchandise (programmes, pies, drinks etc.) Our wallets are being looted to the men who should be thanking us for our long term support. It's pathetic and should be unacceptable. I have also recently heard that due to stadium plans, Kroenke's American Football franchise - the LA Rams - are running into financial difficulty. Kroenke's way out? Steal from Arsenal fans. I for one have had enough and cannot stand to settle for mediocrity."

All women love clothes and shoes. That is quite obvious. It is really important that we look our best at all times. This is usually possible only when we wear clothes that accentuate the way in which we look. While there are so many interesting articles online about how to dress based on body shape and how we can easily look our best, this does not mean that it will be easy to achieve the look. It is quite difficult, especially due to the fact that clothes can be really expensive.
In the past women were practically restricted by having to go to local stores. Nowadays, there is always the option of shopping online, which is definitely the best thing that you can do. The only problem is that prices are also really high. Many stores out there that do sell in brick and mortar locations also sell online. If you end up buying from them, you will still end up spending a lot. This is where voucher codes step in to help out a lot.
There are so many interesting opportunities that are available when you want to buy great clothes online, opportunities that many do not actually know. You would need to basically shop around and see as many options as possible, just as you would with a regular store, but it is a guarantee you will be able to save a lot and find great clothes thanks to voucher codes like what you find on couporando.co.uk and similar websites.
The real problem is that not all the voucher codes that you find on the internet are actually going to be great. Some people simply use the codes, no matter what. Have patience and do make sure that the quality of the clothes is as great as possible. If you are not careful, it is a guarantee you will be faced with problems. There is nothing worse than buying clothes and ending up noticing that the material is not that great or using a coupon code and finding something that is not at all as great as it was presented on the website.
Just as in brick and mortar stores, the online stores may or may not bring in the best possible quality. Many of the clothes that are sold online are really bad, especially those that are bought in a wholesale regime. It is vital that you are patient and that you basically learn all that you can about the store for which the voucher code is. If you do not do this, you can end up faced with the unwanted situation in which you end up wasting money, which is definitely not what you want.
Take a look online and see the voucher codes that are currently available. If there are some for clothes and you really like the clothes, it is a guarantee that you will end up making a very good choice. Have patience and basically read all that you can about the store. This will help you out a lot since the best stores always have the best clothes.

Have you heard about this new product from Microsoft? The Microsoft Security Essentials MSE. Likely yes, it's an antivirus software just like other antivirus from well known names such as Norton, Symantec, AVG and Kaspersky? The only and the big difference is, it's free from Microsoft! Of course, your Windows license has got to be a genuine one, not RM10 from any IT stores in this BullehLand to install this security software.
As my antivirus subscription was expiring and reading through many positive reviews by reputable tech sites, I decided to switch to MSE for a try and now let me share some user experience here. If you look for thorough review, sorry but google it.
I launched the Task Manager and observed that there were few installation processes still going on with some activities. So if you plan to install it later and encounter similar in your installation, just let it run and monitor the CPU processes, the installation should complete with no intervention required. Notice the MsMpEng.exe? It's the Windows Defender process. I am not sure if it attributed to the freeze, but the installation shut down the other related process MsAsCUI.exe (Windows Defender GUI executable) during the installation. Nevertheless, no harm on it, just let the installer handle.
So I suggest you to have your coffee or minimize it and continue to work on your stuff. Although a reboot was not required, but I rebooted (after the quick scan) to see if any services / processes fail to load due to this new antivirus software.
Let it be. It will set by itself after you successfully restarted the service and when everything turns from red to green.
From above, PID 920 is now gone and a new MsMpEng.exe process PID 1988 is shown. So the MsMpEng.exe process with new PID 1988 is the MSE process that you just restarted, whereas PID 1944 is the Windows Defender process. The MSASCui and msseces are GUI interface for Defender and MSE respectively. Why I take time to explain this? It's good if you understand and know what processes are running on your PC, so you could easily be alert when you see a weird process in the Task Manager, that could be a virus or any unwanted application installed by some aliens.
Now compare the memory usage. MSE with PID 920 consumed 67240K memory when it was running a scan. After the service restart, MSE with PID 1988 consumes 43988K when idle. This is quite comparable to my previous antivirus service that consumed around 35MB memory when idle on the same machine but slightly higher around 80MB when running scan.
In overall, just like other reviews by tech sites, I am impressed with MSE as an ordinary user. I would say MSE may be in advanced position than any other antivirus software since the product is from Microsoft, the company that builds the operating system too. From my experience above, even though the antivirus software detected and removed the viruses but it wasn't able to "re-detect" the viruses when they were moved to the SVI folder by Windows' System Restore since SVI folder is restricted with access by default. In other words, the virus is forever there until you format the partition which is unlikely to happen if that's a data partition to keep your personal data. Like me, I have been formatting the system drive but my data partitions/drives stay forever ever since I built this machine several years ago. On the new virus, I remember there's a setting to adjust the depth level to scan a nested zip file in the old antivirus software and I think the default setting was 3 levels. This could be the reason that "my virus" was not detected since it's 4 levels. There's no such setting available in MSE, so I guess MSE drills all the way down until it reaches the last zip file. I may be wrong though in this assumption. Anyway, I have MSE to remove the virus already, it's an old dated virus so I don't think I could use it to sabotage anyone unless the machine is running without antivirus software. I may also want to take some times to study the pros and cons of System Restore.
Except that you will not see 2 MsMpEng processes. The Windows Defender is running by svchost.exe in Vista, if you did not disable it.
So throw away your RM10 antivirus software CD from Ah Beng's IT store. Forget about keygen to crack or extend your antivirus software subscription. You never know the installer in the CD or downloaded from the torrent is virus free or has been injected with a trojan that can never be detected with the "infected antivirus software". Get a copy of MSE directly from Microsoft website here. Read here and here if you want to manually update the virus definition or your machine is not connected to internet. It's your own judgment call whether to switch or to stay if you currently own a genuine copy of latest antivirus software. It's hard to trust a new security software if your current one is proven to protect you for many years long, just like me until MSE proved itself. You may want to wait until your subscription expires, or your current antivirus software has been hogging your system resources.
UPDATE: I just learned that you don't need Windows Defender if you have MSE installed. On XP machine, uninstall Windows Defender from Add/Remove Programs. On Vista, go to Administrative Tools - Services. Look for Windows Defender, set it to manual startup. If you are technical enough, go to Registry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run to delete the entry too. Alternatively, you can use msconfig to disable it.

The key to writing a winning sales CV is in presenting it the right way. A good resume should not only demonstrate your skills and experience, but should also give the reader a good indication of the type of person you are. It needs to have personality.
In the sales world your CV is your selling document. The story of your career needs to build up expectations; it must make sure that the employer believes that you are worth meeting. A winning CV must go beyond experience, training and skills. You need to demonstrate your personal strengths, capabilities and past achievements.
Sales targets exceeded, awards won, problems solved and successful new products launched are all excellent examples of achievements to be included on a successful sales CV. However you need to tell employers the context in which your achievements have taken place and most importantly let them know what value you offer them for the future.
A successful sales CV will be short, concise and easy to follow. Most employers will skim through all the CVs and put aside only 5-10 that might be worth reading. On average an employer will only spend around 1-3 minutes on each CV. A successful CV will immediately stand out from the others.
A winning sales CV needs to have a clean, professional look about it. It must be easy to read and should look balanced. Make sure that there are no spelling and grammar errors in your CV – get someone else to read it for you.
The exact content of the CV you decide on should depend entirely on the position you are applying for. The key is to analyse what the employer is looking for (this more often than not is in the text of the job specification). Adapt your CV to suit what the employer is looking for, by using their words you can ensure that your CV will sell you in the best possible way.
Keeping these points in mind you should now be ready to create a winning sales CV. Just remember when you are creating your CV, sales achievements such as; actual against target, fees earned, revenues generated and market share / percentage increases, are all hugely important facts to include.
You need to ensure you impress employers by telling them what you can do for them and demonstrate your existing track record which will show your potential for improving company growth.

Imagine my surprise when I realised I hadn’t written a blog post since the end of last year! Lawks! I’ve been writing drafts when I can but poor ole Betsy the laptop has usually (always) got too many browser tabs open to cope that well! How is it possible that time passes by so quickly these days?!
I have been posting on the Facebook page though of course. Just never seemed to get to complete a blog post. The main reason has been lack of Brain. It pops in now and again but it doesn’t hang around as long as it used to. So I realise I need to change my way of writing to accommodate this change because mostly it’s resulted in me not writing. And as writing has become a love of mine I have been getting twitchy!
As I’m in the UK I was initially dealing with the tail-end of the continuing coldness through the Winter. Always a toughie getting through to the Spring, eh? Pain levels are up, natural vitamin D intake is down, relentlessness is the name of the game and by the end of Winter (well deserving of it’s capital W) we are begging and pleading the weather to bring Spring to us so that we can start recovering.
Winter was actually pretty mild here, but that just means that I wasn’t at quite such an extreme of my wits end, y’know? Winter is *always* hard. Springtime rocks!
I’ve been having some more health issues and I’ll write more about that in due course, but initially it appeared like it was a crazy-arsed allergic reaction to anything / nothing / everything which lasted all the time / 4 random minutes at a time / stopped for a few hours then came back with a vengeance. It was pretty weird. And yes it became apparent that it was so bizarre that it was reminiscent of my respiration issues a few years ago, so I knew it was a systemic overload which had to be stopped. Hence.. more on that in a separate post.
In March I said “yes” to a concert because I figured how could I not? I mean, it was in Winchester Cathedral, maaan! Beautiful! I didn’t realise just how cold it would get in there or that I should’ve dressed for the outdoors to better manage my pain levels, but fortunately they had some doghouse sized radiators to cuddle up to! So yeah, I went and saw Anathema perform acoustically in a gorgeous cathedral. It was stunning. Truly fabulous.
There are a few cathedrals around the UK who raise some of their funds through events like this so if you get the chance… dress warm, take a cushion if you need one, and because it’s acoustic it’s not like you’re gonna get your head blown off by mega-speakers so the volume is more compatible with sensitive ears (though if you’re unsure I can recommend the noise-reduction earplugs as they reduce the volume without muffling the sound).
Two of my friends got married and Magic Dude and I attended the sci-fi wedding in Star Wars fancy dress. Which I made with my own fair hands, I might add! My sewing machine and I are no longer nemeses, we have made friends and now I wish I had more time during which I am more functional to make some clothes. I now have a new creative project with the sewing machine which I’ll post about soon, too.
And for anyone wondering… I am dressed as Jareal (after the make-up has come off and been re-applied a gazillion times X-) ) who I found out about by researching the comic characters, and Magic Dude is dressed as Plo Koon who was briefly in one of the prequels (very briefly – when asked about his choice of wedding costume he said something like “you see him in one of the spaceships for a moment and then he dies”).
And of course that same month we had the UK government election. Voters were at a loss who to opt for if they even voted at all, many didn’t. The ‘majority’ on our ‘first past the post’ system was a shock. The majority means the party who got the most votes, even though the people who voted for them are actually in the minority of the voting population. Even weirder, our system is set up for the main parties and to keep smaller parties at bay. So this means that votes for the Conservatives adds up to more MPs from their party than exactly the same number of votes would get for another party. I know. Don’t ask. It’s so out of date. Anyway the shock factor was massive. No-one expected the same government to be voted in again. Not even the government peeps themselves! Many of my disabled friends were in tears at the news – welfare cuts have been horrific here with the poorest and most vulnerable getting hit multiple times through different cuts. The new welfare ‘assessment’ process is causing mental health issues to the extent that there have been suicides as a result. Before getting re-elected the government promised a further £12billion welfare cuts so you can see why so many people were in tears. I seemed to last a while in shock until Magic Dude’s Dad said something blinkered and I burst into sobbing and couldn’t stop for some time. The UN is now running a second investigation into the state of human rights in the UK to expand on their earlier investigative report.
So yeah, now I’m an activist. As it turns out. Not just a health activist any more, but an activist for the poor and vulnerable generally. I can’t do much in my state of ill-health but there are petitions I can sign, ideas I can bounce, people I can help. Being chronically ill isn’t going to stop me from caring about others and doing what I can to help reduce the additional shitstorms coming their way. Takes up quite a bit of Brain Time of course, another reason I have been so absent from the blogging as usually May is the time of year when I would begin to manage to write a bit more.
So anyway that’s enough for the body to have to handle whilst still working through the months slowly recovering from Winter, right?
The April tournament this year was not the usual nationals in Oxford but my first ever Europeans. (The Europeans were originally going to be held in Latvia and so this was a last minute alternative and much more viable for me to get to).
I performed the Sun Style 73 form which is not a flowery style so I have to show my understanding and skill levels in different subtle ways, so that was my challenge. I also performed the 42 form (a tournament form incorporating 5 different styles of Tai Chi) so performing two different things at one tournament was also my challenge. I was a bit awed that my teacher had put me in the advanced/open section whilst I am still officially at intermediate level, I guess that was also my challenge. Hey wait a minute? How many challenges am I fool enough to take on at once here?!
The next day I met up with my lovely teammate who also has chronic pain and was staying in the same hotel. We have travelled our Tai Chi paths alongside each other these past four-ish years and we have cheered on each other’s progression with such joy because it’s one heck of an achievement in the face of our respective health issues. I hobbled from bed to lift, and from lift to comfy chair in the hotel lobby. I sat in one chair with my feet up on a second, had my hot water bottle under my legs, blanket over the top, painkillers in my bag and he had been his usual sweetheart self and got the coffees before I got there. Several hours later we were still there nattering away. Movement was not very viable for either of us and it was great to be company for each other through the pain levels.
Pictures obviously included bicycles (and many many grotesques and gargoyles on the old buildings)….
…and a pianist on wheels who was super-prepared for any sudden change in the weather! Totally normal, nuthin to see here! (Actually his piano playing was gorgeous).
The weeks between the Europeans and the June Nationals whizzed by and I was not in great shape healthwise (starting the tournament day with the screaming ouchies in my left leg at a mean 8.5/10, boo!) but I managed to get the pain levels down a bit to perform in Sun Style at my intermediate level and got a good score considering I was racing through the 5-6 minute form to complete it within the required 4 minutes *and* I added in an extra move by accident, too! X-) Being able to get a decent score with Sun style was my aim. And extra wonderful was that my teammate (yes, that same friend) got the exact same score for his multiple-style 42 form and so we ended up on the podium together with joint silver, wow! I can’t tell you how awesome it felt to be standing there with my friend sharing that achievement after coming such a long way together in our journey to help our health situations. There really are no words to describe the singing glee in the soul but it was flipping wonderful! He’s put in phenomenal work to get where he is today using both physical and psychological tools to find the best pathway round the health stuff. If anyone deserved to be standing on that podium it was him, and I found myself standing on the same podium with him which felt so perfect that I wasn’t on a different podium or even a different level – we were on there together. Go Team!
I also entered the advanced/open section with the 42 form, managed to fluff it up in amazing style, made it look like it was meant to be that short honest guv’, and ended my performance somewhat (a lot) earlier than I should have, har! A good score considering the extent of my very silly error, and some wonderfully positive words from head judge Faye Yip telling me to come back next year because I have “potential”, yay!
Oh and no wonder my body has been so screwed because the classes that I use for physio’ include adaptive Kung Fu in which I have got my red sash and first level brown sash this year too. I’m not entirely sure how I managed to achieve those! Although the brown grading was during the heatwave and my legs were glad of it even if my nervous system wasn’t! My body needs more tiiiiiime, man!
And then we were getting the house ready to put up for sale. It sold at the end of July and we’ve been searching for our new home ever since. Not sure how much longer our buyers will hang in there but if they pull out it’ll sell straight away again. The market here at the moment for the main price bracket of £120-210k (your basic 2-3 bed homes with the usual squished space that we have in UK houses) is basically at about 15 buyers per house. Apparently we wouldn’t have the same extent of trouble if we had £210-250k. Oh if only eh?! Har, dream on!
We need some more space y’see. I moved into his one bedroom place and so nearly everything I own has been in the loft for the last 5 years. If one of us wants to do something creative there’s no space to set it up and leave it so most of my physio’ time is taken up with getting everything out and setting it up and then putting it all away again afterwards which doesn’t leave much time for whatever the activity in the middle was supposed to be (I want to get painting again). So yes we need a little more space but also….an enclosed garden. Currently we only have an open outdoor space between the house and the pavement out the front. Apart from how nice it would be to have some private space the main reason is (dahn-da-da-daaaaah…) we wanna get a dog! But the housing market is slowing down for chrimble so I’m expecting our buyers to pull out sometime soonish and that we’ll be re-selling in January when potential new homes start to show up in greater numbers.
Anyway, now you know I’m still here.
Phew! That was a heck of a catch-up!
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh myyyyyyy! I’d been contacted by WEGO Health to let me know that I’ve been nominated for the Rookie of the Year Award a wee while ago, but today I opened up my emails to find several messages from WEGO about nominations for three other awards as well and I am currently still on a floaty cloud of happy surprise!
I have now been informed that not only have you nominated me for 2012 Rookie of the Year, but also for 2012 Health Activist Hero, 2012 Unsung Hero and 2012 Hilarious Health Activist! Wow! I’m totally blown away! Thank-you so much, I am challenged to find the words to adequately express my feelings as I’m still in a state of happy surprise! (With my ANS it’ll take a while for the wibbles to settle down, too, so I may as well go with it and grin like an idiot for a few hours, eh?)!

C. E. Hutton, a Colorado-based limited liability company, today announced its strategic investment in Blockhash Group, a blockchain technology management platform.
DENVER, May 30, 2018	(Newswire.com) - Given the recent, yet rapid, development of blockchain technology and the crypto-currency market, new and unique opportunities have been steadily blooming in the investment space. The economy of old is witnessing a complete change in form, where new values are generated in the digital world and a vital role in each of these processes is executed by decentralized technologies, in which digital tokens and cryptocurrencies play an essential role.
While there are countless new and profitable investments following the blockchain movement, most private investors and a large segment of professionals do not completely understand the various cryptocurrency markets or find it difficult to distinguish between the massive variety of items for investment. For these people, it is critically important that they do not miss obvious opportunities to obtain additional income simply because they lack a handy and safe tool. In turn, crypto market professionals (i.e. traders and portfolio managers) are not sufficiently open and available to investors at large. This is why Blockhash Capital was launched.
Blockhash Capital has assembled an impressive network of those dedicated to monitoring and utilizing the rapidly growing sector of blockchain tech. This network includes advisors, entrepreneurs, and strategic partners, each of whom is committed to the idea of seeing this technology realized to its true potential. The firm is steadfast in the belief that blockchain technology is a profound and market-changing invention that offers cheaper and more effective means of moving money and exchanging assets without the risk of tampering or financial malice.

Municipalities in Monroe County's four airport districts must ensure that any structures built in the future aren't tall enough to interfere with aircraft taking off or landing.
That's according to a model zoning ordinance for airport district overlays, copies of which the Monroe County Planning Commission is circulating among 12 municipalities identified as being in public or private airport districts, county senior planner Christine Meinhart said.
Flying Dollar and Rocky Hill airports, both in Barrett Township, whose districts include Barrett, Paradise and Price townships. Pocono Mountains Municipal in Coolbaugh Township, whose district includes Coolbaugh, Tobyhanna, Paradise and Pocono townships and Mount Pocono Borough. Stroudsburg-Pocono in Smithfield Township, whose district includes Smithfield, Middle Smithfield and Stroud townships and East Stroudsburg Borough.
Barrett Township became the first of the 12 municipalities to receive a copy of the ordinance from the commission.
The ordinance grew out of the Pennsylvania Airport Hazard Zoning Act, or Act 164. Passed in 1984, the act involves a partnership between the Federal Aviation Administration and Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in efforts to reduce the risk of tall structures interfering with aircraft navigation.
For years, municipalities resisted the act, and it could not be effectively enforced, PennDOT spokeswoman Erin Waters said. That was until the 2007 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling in the case of Chanceford Aviation vs. Chanceford Township in York County, Waters said.
Levere and Loretta Baublitz started Chanceford Aviation, a private airport, in Chanceford Township in 1979, prior to the township's adoption of a zoning ordinance. The couple in 1991 notified the township of its obligation to adopt an Act 164 ordinance, but the township did not do so.
After Levere Baublitz's death in 2000, Loretta Baublitz continued efforts to get an ordinance adopted. The matter went to trial in York County Court in 2004 and Baublitz won. The township successfully appealed. Baublitz then appealed in state Supreme Court, which upheld the county court decision.
The Supreme Court ruling now makes it harder for Pennsylvania's airport district municipalities to ignore their obligations to adopt such an ordinance, Waters said.
Some of the 12 municipalities here have airport district provisions in their zoning ordinances, Meinhart said.
The restrictions vary with each municipality, but the municipality should ensure provisions impose proper height restrictions on any future construction, Meinhart said.
"The farther away you are from the airport, the lesser the height restriction," Basila said.

Tyler James Williams has a unique perspective on Ferguson. The young actor told Fusion his father served as a New York City police officer for 20 years. Williams said his idea of law enforcement wasn’t typical for a black person; as the son of a cop, he didn’t have what he called “the average black experience.” But, he says, he is very aware of the tension between police officers and the black community in many areas.
The actor said situations like Ferguson could be prevented if there were better liaisons between the two groups — either more black officers on the force, or respected members of the community willing to work with them.

(RNS) Paul Ryan has been taking a lot of heat over the factual accuracy of claims he made in his prime time address at the Republican convention last week, but Wednesday night at the Democratic confab the GOP vice-presidential candidate – and practicing Catholic – was schooled by a popular nun on the moral shortcomings of his budget proposals.
“Paul Ryan claims this budget reflects the principles of our shared faith,” Sister Simone Campbell, who became a celebrity of sorts this summer when she led the national “Nuns on the Bus” tour for social justice, told cheering Democratic delegates in Charlotte.
“But the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops stated that the Ryan budget failed a basic moral test, because it would harm families living in poverty,” Campbell said.
By framing her critique in the context of her Christian faith, Campbell was directly challenging the Republicans in the kind of religious language that has been a hallmark of the GOP’s campaign to rally believers behind Mitt Romney and Ryan.
Sister Simone Campbell addresses an audience Monday July 2, 2012 to concluded the Nuns on the Bus tour.
But she also sought to identify the sisters and the Democratic agenda with Catholic tradition at a time when Catholic voters – who comprise close to one-quarter of the electorate – are considered key to the November election.
Just as important, Campbell neatly folded her remarks in with statements from the Catholic hierarchy, which has had more than its share of disagreements with President Obama and the Democratic Party over issues like gay marriage and abortion.
Like many other speakers so far, Campbell underscored the plight of poor and working class Americans in the recession, and pointed to Democratic policies as both the most effective answer, and the most moral one.
“I am my sister's keeper. I am my brother's keeper,” she said in one of several lines that drew rousing applause.
Good evening, I'm Sister Simone Campbell, and I'm one of the “nuns on the bus.” So, yes, we have nuns on the bus. And a nun on the podium!
Let me explain why I'm here. In June, I joined other Catholic sisters on a 2,700-mile bus journey through nine states to tell Americans about the budget Congressman Paul Ryan wrote and Governor Romney endorsed.
I am my sister's keeper. I am my brother's keeper. While we were in Toledo, I met 10-year-old twins Matt and Mark, who had gotten into trouble at school for fighting. Sister Virginia and the staff at the Padua Center took them in when they were suspended and discovered on a home visit that these 10-year-olds were trying to care for their bedridden mother who has MS and diabetes.
They were her only caregivers. The sisters got her medical help and are giving the boys some stability. Now the boys are free to claim much of the childhood they were losing. Clearly, we all share responsibility for the Matts and Marks in our nation.
In Milwaukee, I met Billy and his wife and two boys at St. Benedict's dining room. Billy's work hours were cut back in the recession. Billy is taking responsibility for himself and his family, but right now without food stamps, he and his wife could not put food on their family table.
We all share responsibility for creating an economy where parents with jobs earn enough to take care of their families. In order to cut taxes for the very wealthy, the Romney-Ryan budget would make it even tougher for hard-working Americans like Billy to feed their families. Paul Ryan says this budget is in keeping with the moral values of our shared faith. I disagree.
In Cincinnati, I met Jini, who had just come from her sister's memorial service. When Jini's sister Margaret lost her job, she lost her health insurance. She developed cancer and had no access to diagnosis or treatment. She died unnecessarily. And that is tragic. And it is wrong.
The Affordable Care Act will cover people like Margaret. We all share responsibility to ensure that this vital health care reform law is properly implemented and that all governors, all governors, expand Medicaid coverage so no more Margarets die from lack of care. This is part of my pro-life stance and the right thing to do.
I have so many other stories but let me tell you one more. In Hershey, Pennsylvania, a woman in her late thirties approached us. She asked for the names of some people she could talk to, because she felt alone and isolated. Her neighbors have been polarized by politics masquerading as values. She cares about the well-being of the people in her community.
She wishes they, and the rest of the nation, would listen to one another with kindness and compassion. Listen to one another rather than yell at each other. I told her then, and I tell her now, that she is not alone.
Looking out at you tonight, I feel your presence combined with that of the thousands of caring people we met on our journey. Together, we understand that an immoral budget that hurts already struggling families does not reflect our nation's values. We are better than that.
So I urge you, I urge you, join us on the bus. Join us as together we stand with Matt and Mark, Billy and his family, the woman in Hershey and the Margarets of our nation.
This is what we nuns on the bus are all about: We care for the 100 percent, and that will secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our nation. So join us as we nuns and all of us drive for faith, family and fairness.
Sister Simone speaks here about social issues, especially the issue of poverty. People on both sides have different ideas on how the problem of poverty can be approached. The problem with Sr. Simone’s appearance as a speaker at the Democratic Convention is it “implies” that the Catholic Church supports the platform of the Democratic Party. It does not. It is very sad to say that the Democratic Party is promoting the culture of death. That was made very clear last night after listening to Sandra Flukes speech.
Yes – the issue of poverty is a LIFE issue of great importance. But the issue of ABORTION, which is murder, trumps all other issues.
Sister is only a sister by the good graces of the Church. She should defend all that the Church teaches. She should have mentioned clearly the grave danger of a party platform that promotes the killing of the unborn.
So sad, but they say the Devil can quote the Bible to suit his case. . Jesus must weep and His Mother feel sad that one of His Brides selectively rejects what His Gospel says.
Talk about a “cafeteria Catholic”! Sr. Campbell criticizes Romney-Ryan on hypothetical budget issues, but has no moral problem with the anti-Catholic agenda of the Obama-Biden administration (abortion, gay marriage, government mandates on private religious institutions, etc.). What a hypocrite!
It’s too bad that Sister has been used as a pawn in the game of politics, especially on a national stage…who is advising her? where is her spiritual adviser. To also, so to speak, give the nod, that Catholics are for the democrats – a promoter of Godlessness (secularism and atheism) and a planned parenthood owned party at tax payers expense (half billion $$$) – is another twisted notion.
This Sister has cast hersef as a democrat, the same party that deleted God from its` platform (and then flip-flopped) and had a head line speaker from the national abortion rights association – when obama said abortion should be rare.
We are witnessing, lies, deceipt, twisted speech, and confusion right out in the open.
Pray to and rely on God – The Holy Trinity.
I think this nun should we removed from the church. Since when does the Catholic church let nun campaign. I do not believe this.
Notice that Sister campbell did not mention how we should address the now $16 trillion deficit. Shwe also didn’t mention how to address the underlying causes of poverty i.e. out-of-wedlocj birth, single-parenting, separation and divorce, school dropouts, illiteracy, illegal immigration, lack of respect for authority, lack of self-control and self-discipline, etc. I wonder what a Sister Campbell budget proposal would look like? Is a $20 trillion deficit okay with her? She has her head in the sand like so many other liberal activists. She has no business representing the entire Catholic church with her partisan comments.
Real nice, people. Your opinion of us simple “bleeding hearts” is clear. I don’t know if any of you are Catholic yourselves, but forget about theology: Simple lack of compassion will continue to repel me and my godless family from your stingy, hateful congregations.
Meanwhile, you all and the U.S. bishops make it sound like the Devil gave us brains: Apparently, our soft-hearted women religious are similarly afflicted!
You foetus-lovers make a pretty picture, too, waiting around outside Planned Parenthood to kick a girl when she’s down and block her access to what little hope and refuge she may seek under what are obviously sad circumstances for all involved. I have difficulty understanding those who claim to be “spiritual” and set mere biology over the human spirit, who offer no love or knowledge to children always struggling to make their way in our world.
If “the least of these” does not mean a desperate, knocked-up girl, I don’t know what it means. Zygotes, maybe? Zygotes and embryos are fascinating things, and the unknowable human potential those cells-then-tissues-then-organisms represent merits our respect and humility, but I dare say, I feel my obligation to the present reality of a thinking, feeling girl is far greater than to any representative of human potential.
Some of you might argue Jesus said, “Love one another,” but forgot to add sensible qualifications like, “At least those who are Godly and well-mannered, and not to such an extent that you jeopardize your own financial well-being.” Or maybe “love” has a special, technical meaning for Christians, and all the evil we do each other in this world–most readily achieved through neglect and thoughtlessness–is made up for by the Christian “love” and “faith” buried in our hearts.
How convenient! Our consciences thus assuaged, it ought to be easy to balance the budget with some “tough” and “courageous” policies (sensus Romney & Ryan). After all, God didn’t make us the 7th richest nation in the world just for us to turn around and waste it, mollycoddling the sick, poor, and otherwise unproductive, now did He?
Must be so exhausting to carry all that bitterness inside!
I’ll pray for you, Lord knows you need a lot of those!
I consider myself better off than most, besides the big chip on my shoulder….
You’re certainly not required to share my concerns, and perhaps you have bigger fish to fry that would just go right over my head. Still, if you have room for the likes of *me* in your prayers, I’d humbly ask you preferentially included those in more urgent and material distress.
Religious zealots only care about life in the womb, but they couldn’t care less once you’re out. If Sr C van be criticized for being at the Dem convention because they’re murderers, shouldn’t Catholics at the Republican convention be criticized for supporting a pro-death penalty party?
Sr C represents everything good I was taught as a Catholic. It’s the actions of priests & bishops in their handling of sexual abuse that drove me from the Church. If the Church spent more time worrying about the people that need us to follow Christ’s teaching as opposed to fighting culture wars, then I’d return.
Until then, God bless Sr C. A true Catholic that cares about the poor and needy first and foremost.
Thank you Matthew and Mark for your articulate rebuttal to the close-minded, hate-mongering right wing extremists who are so easily lead around by the Republican Party.
Why is it that when someone disagrees with a liberal, they are called ‘close-minded, hate mongerers”? It is quite possible to disagree with another person’s views and not feel hate. I understand your point of view but do not ascribe to it. How about some civil discourse. You’d have a much better chance at changing someone’s mind if you used cogent, articulate arguments rather than stooping to name calling and epithets & generalizations.
Because you are spreading hate in your posts. Re-read and rethink what YOU have said. If you are knocking a nun that is devoted to helping the less fortunate because she has chosen a political philosophy that you disagree with, then the devil has truly won, and your the one we need to pray for. The core of Christianity is tolerance, acceptance and caring for people less fortunate then you.
WHAT!!!!!!!! The core of Christianity is to treat ALL people with love not only those with whom you agree. Also, there is more than one way to care for the poor. Again, disagreeing with someone is not equal to hate nor is it personally ‘knocking’ someone-it is disagreeing. No devil involved just a different philosophy or is there only one way-your way-to help the poor. Sounds a bit close-minded.

any monthly surplus income in the same way that non-discretionary expenses/medical conditions expenses are ?
There’s a simple test you can use to determine whether or not a medical expense will be considered a non-discretionary deduction: can you claim the expense on your income tax return?
For example, prescriptions that you have to pay for (and are not re-imbursed for) may be claimed on your tax return therefore your trustee will allow them as a deduction.
Vitamins, unless prescribed, are not tax deductible and therefore will not be accepted by your trustee.
If you are uncertain about a specific expense, ask your trustee.

This dress is absolutely beautiful, the quality is outstanding. The image on the site is an exact liking, it is for my daughters prom and she looks amazing. The sizing is also exact. I had a issue with the postage and once I contact MillyBridal they were fantastic. I would have no hesitation in using this company again and again.
I was skeptical ordering a made-to-fit dress offline, and even more skeptical when I took it out the package. This dress fits like a glove and looks absolutely stunning on the body. I cant wait to see the professional photos from my prom.
I was surprised when i received the dress. The top of the dress is so unique. The details are the same as the picture showed. I am satisfied with the quality of the dress and the excellent work of the sewing.
The dress is a dream. After ordering it it took about 27 days for it to arrive ( shipping to Sweden) . I did not get a Custom Size, but used the Size Chart measurements and It was a perfect fit for me! It was a very suitable color. I have never in my life received so many compliments as I did during the prom night, my dress was a success! this amazing site delivered in all possible ways, I can warmly recommend the site and this dress!
My dress arrived yesterday. And I have to say, the dress is beautiful, exactly like the photo on the website. I bought this dress for my friends party, and I cannot wait to wear it. thank you MillyBridal. Your customer service is excellent and the dress was made and arrived in the time frame I was told it would. thanks again.
The dress was beautiful!! Thank you so much!!! I got it custom made and it was perfect. The shipping was amazingly fast it came just in time for the party! So happy I ordered from here. Will definitely be ordering all my dresses here in the future.

She wants to escape, but one thing holds her back: Ander, the boy who is everywhere she goes, whose turquoise eyes are like the ocean. And then Eureka uncovers an ancient tale of romance and heartbreak, about a girl who cried an entire continent into the sea. Suddenly her mother's death and Ander's appearance seem connected, and her life takes on dark undercurrents that don't make sense. Can everything you love be washed away?

If you are charged with homicide, it is critical that you put your life in the hands of a skilled and experienced homicide attorney who has successfully defended this most serious of all offenses. If you are charged with vehicular homicide, murder by abuse, manslaughter, or even First Degree Murder, you will need to have a highly-skilled criminal defense attorney on your side.
Experience is critical because you will be facing one of the top prosecutors that the State of Washington employs. Not only will you face senior prosecutors, but you will also be up against all the money, resources, and technology that the prosecutor’s office can bring. You need a champion criminal defense attorney on your side, one that has a high-level understanding of forensics, and one that can put together a high-level defense.
I am an experienced Seattle homicide lawyer, and have 26 years of defending all types of violent crimes, ranging from simple assault and domestic violence to Capital Murder. I aggressively defend these cases, and I never give up.
In one case I defended, a young man and his cousin were charged with breaking into the house of his cousin’s wife and abducted her. His cousin then shot her in the head. My client was charged with aiding this attempted murder, and also with attempting to run her over with his car after the shooting. However, after a several week trial, including the testimony of a defense accident reconstruction expert, my Client was acquitted on all counts.
I have represented many people charged with First Degree Murder, and from Dec. 1995 until July, 2009 I have represented an inmate on death row here in Washington. My client has been on death row since 1991, the longest of any person in the State of Washington, and his case is on appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I believe that it is my hard work for over 13 years which has prevented his execution, and will likely stop his execution completely on appeal.
Also, I recently conducted at state court trial challenging as cruel and unusual the lethal injection protocol in Washington. This case is currently on appeal where I will present oral argument in the Washington Supreme Court on March 2010.
I know how to conduct a major homicide defense and how to get the job done. When your life is on the line, you need more than just a good effort, you need results.
If you’ve been accused of homicide or are under investigation for homicide, please call me today to schedule your free initial consultation to discuss how we will fight this charge together.

Table salt, or the common salt that you use in your day-to-day cooking, has been used by humans for many centuries. Interestingly, saltiness is one of the five basic taste sensations, along with sweetness, sourness, bitterness and umami (savory).
While a limited amount of salt is essential to the health of humans and some animals, it’s become well-known that excess salt consumption is bad for your health.
Nevertheless, it’s still helpful to have a jar of it in your cupboard. Today, salt is not just used for consumption purposes.
There are many uses for this amazing substance—uses that go far beyond cooking and flavoring food.
These surprising household, beauty and health uses will surely change your outlook toward common salt.
Here are the top 10 unusual and healthy uses of common salt.
A sore throat, which can be due to many reasons like the common cold, dry air, excessive shouting or throat infection, can be treated with common salt.
Gargling with salt water will help fight pain and inflammation associated with a sore throat. Salt works like an antiseptic and helps fight the infection cauing your sore throat.
Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of warm water.
Stir it well to dissolve the salt.
Do this at regular intervals for a few days.
A canker sore, which is an ulcer on the mucous membrane inside the mouth, can cause a burning sensation, pain, inflammation, fever and swollen lymph nodes. The condition is very painful as well as irritating, but you can get relief from the problem with table salt.
A salt water gargle will ease the pain and help draw the fluid out of a canker sore to speed up the healing process.
Dissolve 2 teaspoons of salt in ¼ cup of warm water and stir it well.
Swish the solution around in your mouth for at least 20 seconds, then spit it out.
Repeat the process 3 or 4 times a day.
As foot pain can make walking difficult, people want to get rid of such pain as quickly as possible. Whether you have pain in your toes, heel, sole, ankle or arch, you can ease the pain with common salt.
Salt also helps soothe tired feet.
Add ½ cup of salt to a small tub of warm water.
Soak your feet in the warm saline solution for 10 to 15 minutes.
Pat dry your feet and massage gently for 5 minutes.
Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is an irritating and uncomfortable condition that can be treated with salt.
Salt works as a natural disinfectant that can help fight the cause behind the problem, such as bacteria or a virus. It even soothes the pain and redness.
Boil 1 cup of distilled water mixed with 1 teaspoon of salt.
Use the solution as an eyewash, using an eyecup or dropper.
Salt is even a great toothpaste alternative, which you can use to keep your teeth clean and free from bacteria. Salt particles help get rid of plaque on your teeth, which in turn reduces the risk of many oral problems.
In fact, common table salt is one of the most widely used ingredients in commercial oral care products.
Dip your moistened toothbrush in table salt or sea salt, then brush your teeth with it. Do this at least once daily.
You can also mix common salt with an equal amount of baking soda and brush your teeth with the mixture regularly.
Note: When using salt, be gentle or else it can damage your gums and tooth enamel.
Whether you end up with puffy eyes in the morning due to a late-night date or after a good crying session, you can easily reduce the problem with salt mixed in water.
While the salt will help draw out the moisture and tighten the skin, the heat from the warm water will lessen the inflammation.
Mix ½ teaspoon of salt in a bowl of lukewarm water.
Soak cotton balls in this warm saline water.
Place the soaked cotton balls over your closed eyelids for a few minutes.
Insect bites and stings, can be painful and itchy. To reduce the discomforts, all you need is a handful of common salt.
Salt is a great way to help neutralize the venom of a bee or yellow jacket sting. Due to its antiseptic properties, salt also disinfects the site of injury. It draws out the toxin immediately and effectively reduces pain and inflammation.
Wash the area with antiseptic soap and lukewarm water. In case of a bee or wasp sting, remove the stinger very carefully before rinsing the area.
Apply a paste of salt and a little water on the site of the bite or sting.
Allow it to dry, then rinse it off after 30 minutes.
For an adult or child, a saline rinse for nasal irrigation is one of the best home remedies for a runny nose. Salt will help loosen up mucus, making it easier and more comfortable to expel.
It will even clear the nasal passages of irritants and make it easy for you to breathe comfortably.
Mix 1 teaspoon of salt in 2 cups of warm distilled water.
Use this solution for nasal irrigation using a neti pot or some other irrigation device.
Repeat 1 or 2 times daily for a few days.
Note: Wash the irrigation device after each use.
When boiling eggs in water, add a little salt to the boiling water before adding the eggs to help the eggs cook faster. Adding salt helps raise the boiling point of water.
Plus, it prevents cracks by coagulating the egg whites more quickly.
However, you may not want to add salt to water when preparing a soft-boiled egg as it produces a more rubbery texture suitable for hardboiled eggs.
Table salt can also help remove tarnish from silverware. It helps speed up the chemical reaction required for removing the tarnish. Plus, it works as a great natural abrasive to scrub the gunk off the silver.
Line a large roasting pan or plastic tub with aluminum foil.
Pour hot water in the pan or plastic tub.
Add 2 tablespoons each of table salt and baking soda.
Optionally, you can add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar as well.
Soak your tarnished silverware in this solution for 3 to 5 minutes. For heavily tarnished silver, you can also scrub the silverware with an old toothbrush.
Finally, wash it with warm soapy water.

text: In 2008, Romania completed its EU accession. Since then, there have been a number of events in Romanian high-level politics, that centered debates on ritual magic – including presidential candidates accusing each other of winning the elections through the use of the occult (2009, 2010) and various law projects intended to formalize and tax ritual magic (2011). My analysis focuses on the ways in which male urban elites in Romania, an EU member state, negotiate their seemingly conflicting identities as administrators of a secular form of government on the one side, and clients of practitioners of magic, on the other side. What are the roles discursively assigned to the occult and the secular and how can we deconstruct them to make sense of why people choose or dismiss religious identities and practices? My work analyzes ideological West-East divides by looking at the scholarship produced by anthropology on areas largely accepted as ‘Eastern European’, ‘socialist’ and ‘post-socialist.’ From a critical point of view, we can say that area studies are working towards reifying ideological boundaries within the European subcontinent. Much like African, Latin American, or East Asian studies, the study of Eastern Europe perpetuates stereotypical ideas about cultural difference; these include stereotypes about the nature of people in the area, their moral values and work ethics, their capacity for producing capital and a modern society, racial and gender identities, and the like. This approach is fed by an evolutionist impulse in the anthropological discipline and international organizations (often neoliberal) that expects constant modernization from the ‘developing world’ (hence the name). However, this preached modernization never reaches an endpoint – when Eastern European countries finally attain certain imposed standards, Western Europe and North America will already have developed, and have reached new standards, so there is always an impossible amount of catching-up to do. The EU is a politico-economic project that I see as essential to perpetuating this mindset.
