This much, we are all familiar with.
Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. Glucose as we all know, is the principal source of fuel for our bodies.
A person with diabetes has a condition in which the quantity of glucose in the blood is too elevated (hyperglycemia).
This is because the body either does not produce enough insulin, produces no insulin, or has cells that do not respond properly to the insulin the pancreas produces.
This results in too much glucose building up in the blood. This excess blood glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine. So, even though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements.
This too, most of us are familiar with.
Do you know what causes this metabolic imbalance and pancreas to mal-function?
We all know that our mind and physical body are closely intertwined.
For instance, when you think of something sad, you feel a physical heaviness in your heart.
When you feel strong emotions like fear, stress, anxiety, resentment, jealousy etc, our breathing pattern gets affected. You are unable to breathe in properly. This causes an oxygen-scarcity in the body.
Your metabolism, the ability to convert food into energy is diminished. You experience low energy, and are susceptible to fatigue. Due to this, you have less resistance to adversity.
Your reactions to people and negative environment are in extremes, in turn fueling more negative emotions like anger, fear and resentment.
Thus, a never-ending pattern is established. All this affects our emotional center or the Solar Plexus Chakra.
According to ancient teachings, a human being is a combination of seven layers of visible and invisible (energy) bodies. They are the soul, subconscious, causal, mental, astral, etheric and physical bodies.
Out of these, the physical body is visible surrounded by the energy bodies. The energy body inter-penetrates and extends beyond the physical body.
Chakras are energy centers located in the energy body along the spine. These centers correspond to major acupuncture points in the physical body and have varied functions.
Chakras are like power stations that supply life energy or prana from the environment to vital organs of the physical body. They control and energize the vital organs of the body, in turn affecting a person's physical, psychological and spiritual conditions.
There are 7 major Chakras located along the spinal cord, from the base of the spine to the top of the head. The Solar plexus or Manipura chakra is present slightly above the navel and below the ribs.
In the physical body, this chakra rules over the epigastric plexus and governs the working of the stomach, intestines, spleen, gall bladder, diaphragm, liver, pancreas and the adrenal glands. These glands create important hormones involved in digestion, converting food into energy for the body.
The Solar plexus chakra is associated with the power of fire and digestion.
In the energy body, the Solar plexus chakra is our emotional centre and is considered the center of dynamism, energy, will power and achievement, which radiates prana (energy) throughout the entire human body.
When we feel strong emotions like fear, stress, anxiety, resentment, jealousy etc, these emotions block the solar plexus chakra, due to which it stops giving energy to the respective organs like liver, Pancreas, stomach and gall bladder resulting in weakness of the organs.
Now do you see how emotions and metabolism are tightly interwoven through the Solar Plexus Chakra?
A consistent, never-ending pattern of negative emotions like fear, anger, resentment, anxiety, jealousy, clogs our energy body with negative energy, disallowing the flow of healthy energy, eventually affecting our emotional center or Solar plexus chakra.
The environment we have grown up in also plays a role in affecting the Solar plexus chakra. Poor feedback, lack of affection, criticism, rejection, and being ignored or unappreciated, all play their part.
The Solar plexus chakra becomes blocked and weakens, resulting in weakened functioning of all the organs and glands it governs. The pancreas is unable to produce the quantity and quality of insulin required to help our body absorb the glucose and convert it into energy.
This leads to the chronic disease we all know as Diabetes.
Thus, Diabetes is in fact, just a symptom, not the cause.
Germinated Black gram, taken with half a cupful of fresh bitter gourd Jiuce and teaspoonful of honey is highly beneficial in the treatment of milder type of Diabetes.Use it once a day for 3 to 4 months with restriction of carbohydrates.
The mango leaves can be dried in shade, powdered and preserved. Half a teaspoonful of this powder has to be taken twice a day in the morning and evening.
Note : Please inform/consult your physician before you try the above.
The popular belief is that diabetes is a life-long disease and can never be cured, only controlled by controlled consumption or non-consumption of food containing sugar.
However, now that we have understood that the root cause of diabetes lies in the emotions and energy body of the individual, not in his physical body, the logical conclusion is that if the energetic body of the individual is brought back into balance, it will result in balance in the physical body. Once the cause is removed, the symptom will no longer exist.
Thus, the first step to remove diabetes is to clean the energy body and strengthen the Solar plexus chakra. This will enable it to supply sufficient healthy energy to the organs and glands it governs, in turn strengthening the functioning of the pancreas, enabling production of the right quality and quantity of insulin.
The next question is, how can we clean the energy body and strengthen our Solar plexus chakra?
This is where Chakra-Healing can help.
Chakra-Healing is an energy-based healing therapy, which focuses on strengthening the affected chakras so that they can function properly.
This is done by clearing the blockages in them and aligning the energies of the human body so that they work together in harmony and bring abundance, happiness, physical and mental health, love and confidence to the individual.
To achieve this end result, different healing techniques are used, based on the severity of the problem and the energy of the person.
Chakra-Healing works on the root cause of the problem, which is in the energy body; not on the symptoms. It is purely energy-based and is completely a no-touch, no-drug and no-pain therapy.
Like the fish are connected to each other through water in an ocean, we all live in a pool of energy. All healing techniques are based on Law of Resonance.
According to the law of resonance, when two systems are oscillating at different frequencies, there's a force that causes the two to transfer energy from one to the other to attain the same frequency. This is scientifically called Entrainment.
Entrainment is a process by which things align their movement and energy together to match in rhythm and phase. We may look at diseases as out-of-tune behavior of one or more of our organs of the body.
When a strong harmonizing rhythm is applied to it, the interference pattern of waves which is the organ, may start beating in tune again. When two bodies are vibrating at different frequencies through resonance and entrainment, either the lower vibration will come up, the higher vibration will come down, or they will meet in the middle.
In Chakra-Healing, the practitioner raises his vibration and connects to the energy body of the individual who is ill or with a low vibration.
Like a similarly tuned circuit, the lower vibration will eventually match up to the higher vibration, thus facilitating healing. In summary, all the healer is doing, is providing the resonant energy to allow the individual to heal himself.
Love is the universal vibration that allows people to transfer healing energy from one to another.

I am diabetic since 11years.I really wish to get rid of this.
I like the ways u have mentioned for the cause.I am a truly emotional person.I get angry very often .I fell restless,stress a lot for everything,etc.These condition are effecting my day to day life.please advise me the best.I am 38 years old ,my parents too are diabetic.Doctors say that this may be a genitic factor.
Hi, my 5 year son has type 1 diabetes & on insulin. Can it will be cure with chakra healing tharapy & in how much days diabetes can cure with this therapy.
Wonderful article Sir. Wishing much more guidance with your intellect to public !!
Are you taking consultation for type 1 diabetes using chakra healing?How to connect you?
I love this blog post so much – you have confirmed what my intuition has been telling me. I have a 14-year old niece who has been diabetic since the age of 6 – I really want to help her, but my brother doesn't believe in energy healing or even healing foods. I have healed minor things on people (swollen eyes etc). But I feel I have this gift.


Tom Coote breaks down five countries far off the backpacker trail.
Not long ago Albania was strictly off limits for independent travel; the only way to visit was through a costly organized tour. Sailors from nearby Corfu were terrified of being forced to land along the Albanian coast, in case they were arrested as foreign spies and carted off to some kind of gulag.
It was considered to be the last great bastion of European hard-line communism.
That's all over now. Westerners no longer need a visa, and hostels and budget accommodation are starting to sprout up all over the place.
Albania is still great value and offers everything from elegant Ottoman mansions in snow capped mountains, to ancient Greek ruins and near-deserted Mediterranean beaches. The last couple of years have seen dramatic improvements in the capital city of Tirana, as the once notoriously potholed streets have been repaired.
The country still retains its flavour and remains several steps removed from most of Eastern Europe. McDonalds and KFC have yet to invade, although you can find a "MacDonalds" — golden arches and all — and a kebab version of the colonel.
During the ten-year civil war — in which around 100,000 Algerians were killed — Algeria was strictly off limits for tourism. Even until very recently you could only visit if you went on an expensive tour escorted by an official guide.
It might be an exaggeration to say everything has now changed and all of Algeria is completely safe, but independent travel is now possible.
You need to have a booking with a hotel and provide plenty of support evidence to get a tourist visa, but it can be done. The easiest and cheapest option is probably to get a cheap flight into Tunisia and then cross over from there — the border with Morocco is closed.
Algeria is a vast country with everything from ancient Roman ruins and undeveloped Mediterranean beaches, to colonial architecture and the emptiness of the Saharan desert. Sooner or later, the people in power are going to realise that tourism could earn them a lot of money and greatly contribute to solving their chronic unemployment problems.
For more details on backpacking independently in Algeria, read my article To Camels from Cows — Algeria Overland.
You can find medieval walled cities, great lakes, and lots of architecturally distinct churches and monasteries in Macedeonia.
The people are friendly and even popular tourist destinations such as Lake Ohrid are incredibly cheap for Europe (ten euros a night for a pleasant double room with cable TV).
It's easy enough to travel overland into Macedonia from Kosovo or Albania, but the lack of cheap international flights means it can only practically be visited as part of a longer trip through other parts of Eastern Europe.
Oman is becoming increasingly popular as a stopover between Europe and Asia.
Even if you're laying over in Dubai, it's easy to get a bus down to Oman's capital, Muscat — Western nationals can get an inexpensive visa at the Omani border.
If you're flying to somewhere else with Oman airlines, you could also pay a small surcharge to stop in Muscat for a few days. Muscat may not be as well set up for tourism as Dubai, but I think it's cheaper, friendlier, and more interesting.
As well as the usual desert and rocky mountain scenery, Oman has castles, mosques, and heaving, atmospheric bazaars. There's not yet much in the way of budget accommodation, but sooner or later somebody will decide to open up a backpackers hostel.
Unlike in Russia or Belarus, Western nationals no longer need a visa to visit Ukraine. You can get a cheap www.easyjet.com">EasyJet flight into Krakow, Poland, and then get the train to the nearby Ukranian border. From there it's a short bus ride to Ukraine's third largest — and arguably most popular — city, Lviv. You could also get EasyJet flights into Budapest and then hop the overnight train.
Ukraine still seems very "Soviet." The cities have state-sponsored circuses and puppet shows in crumbling but permanent buildings. Outside of the cities, many people grow their own turnips in their front gardens. Headscarves are the norm for the aging ladies and the apparently bad dye jobs for the middle aged.
The young people are different, though — more like the teens in Poland or Hungary. It's the differences, however, that make Ukraine worth visiting. As with Macedonia, there's still a lack of cheap, direct flights, and language can be a problem, but Ukraine has something different to offer the curious traveler.
Given that it's so close to the more popular parts of Eastern Europe and that decent hostels can easily be booked online, its popularity is bound to rise.
For another far-off-the-beaten-track idea, don't miss How to Travel to Socotra, Yemen.

Q: Advantages of VS 2008 over VS 2005 Could somebody please name a few.  I could given time, but this is for somebody else, and I'd also like some community input.

A: Personally I would say one of the biggest advantages I have found is the product responds quicker i.e. opens faster, compiles and runs projects faster.  In my mind why wouldn't you upgrade for this benefit alone.
Because of the environment that I work in I am restricted to .NET 2.0 so have not been able to take advantages of the many other features of multi targeting etc.
However for the ASP.NET work I have done the split view and CSS support is great.  Certainly that is the one area I have noticed the biggest functional improvement from VS2005 to VS2008.  With CSS you still need to but in the effort to understand it but why not get as much help as possible from the IDE as well.
Overall I have found it to be a very easy transition so I can't think of a reason not to upgrade.

A: Well, it supports .NET 3.5, which offers a lot of new features - it depends on whether you need them.
Other than that, they improved (also with SP1) the refactoring tool, compile speed, IntelliSense now works great with C# too, and you get the new C# compiler even when writing .NET 2.0 code. Also, ASP.NET designer performance has improved a lot.
In my opinion, even writing mostly .NET 2.0 code, I find it slightly better than 2005.

A: One big feature is it lets you target different versions of the .NET runtime, depending on the project.

A: If you're using The Microsoft Unit Testing framework, it's far better in 2008. i.e. it's usable.

A: Besides the usual support for latest versions of framework and integrated unit testing, i personally find out VS 2008 to be more stable, with better refactoring support and more mature (read stable) product than VS 2005.
I was using VS 2005 since it showed up on the market, until the first release of VS 2008, so i can tell the difference.

A: Depends on your programming language.

*

*On .net, the built-in support for .net 3.5 is obvious, although this is mainly project templates. However, SP1 adds .net Client Framework support, which is not possible within VS2005 to my knowledge.

*This also means support for WPF with a XAML Designer, although most people still prefer Expression Blend for WPF Interfaces.

*Apparantly, there is now a JavaScript Debugger, even though it's a bit broken as it seems (not sure if SP1 fixes this)

In short: For .net 3.5, it's almost a must-have if you are a professional developer, but that is just my opinion.

A: The CSS property builder is much better IMHO.

Omaha police: Dog attacked man passing through hotel hallway
Updated: 10:00 AM CDT Aug 26, 2020
police lights
Omaha police have cited a woman after her dog attacked a man at a hotel.According to a police report, officers were called to Bergan Mercy Monday night for a dog bite that occurred at a Double Tree Hotel on South 72nd Street. The 21-year-old victim told police that he was walking through the hallway on the first floor of the hotel when a woman walking a pit bull entered the hallway. He said the leash was not tight and the dog lunged at him, biting his wrist. The victim noted the owner did not apologize and acted like "it was no big deal." He said he had to kick to the dog to get it to let go of his wrist. The humane society removed two pit bulls from the owner. The owner was cited on several dog charges.

California Has 48 Hours to Pass This Privacy Bill or Else
Kashmir Hill
Illustration: Jim Cooke
Recent headlines have suggested that California lawmakers are considering a bill that would give Californians "unprecedented control over their data." This is true but that is not the whole story.
What's really happening is that California lawmakers have 48 hours to pass such a bill or the policy shit is going to hit the direct democracy fan. Because if lawmakers in the California Senate and House don't pass this bill Thursday morning, and if California governor Jerry Brown doesn't sign this bill into law Thursday afternoon, a stronger version of it will be on the state ballot in November. Then the 17 million or so people who actually vote in California would decide for themselves whether they should have the right to force companies to stop selling their data out the back door. Polls predict they would vote yes, despite the claims of tech companies that passage of the law would lead to businesses fleeing California. And laws passed via the ballot initiative process, rather than the legislative process, are almost impossible to change, so California would likely have this one on its books for a very long time.
This, more than, say, an urgent need to address the data scandals that have dominated the tech industry so far this year, is why lawmakers are scrambling to get a bill passed. (A press secretary for Senator Bob Hertzberg, a sponsor of the bill, says that it's happening at the last minute because it was a "long and tortured negotiating process" to come up with "an agreement that everybody 70% agrees with.") It's an absurd scenario out of Armando Iannucci, motivated more by arbitrary deadlines and the arcane mechanics of the legislative process than by a sudden passionate response to the kind of careless data practices that facilitated a foreign power's interference in a presidential election.
How did we get here? It mostly has to do with one guy with a lot of money deciding he was willing to drop a few million dollars to make life harder for data brokers.
"I want to be able to go to Amazon and find out who they sold my information to," Alastair MacTaggart told me earlier this year.
MacTaggart, a real estate developer in the San Francisco Bay Area, has spent $3 million to create and fund a campaign for the California Consumer Privacy Act, a law that would force companies to tell people what personal data they're selling and stop if asked. The work of creating the ballot initiative started over two years ago. Over the last year, more than 600,000 Californians signed a petition in support of it—thanks to $1 million spent with signature-collection firms—and so MacTaggart now has the ability to put it on the ballot in November.
He just has to decide whether he wants to do it or not by June 28—this Thursday. Hence the scramble by lawmakers to pass a bill that will get him to drop the Act.
"If the bill passes before [Thursday], we will withdraw our initiative. If it doesn't, we will proceed to the November election," said MacTaggart in a statement. "We are content either way, as we feel that both the legislative solution, and our initiative, provide tremendously increased privacy rights to Californians."
MacTaggart says that his interests in this are esoteric and that he's never experienced a major privacy violation himself. He traces his desire to spend an obscene amount of money on privacy protections for his fellow citizens to a cocktail party conversation a few years ago with a guy from Google who told him that "if people knew how much we knew about them, they'd be really freaked out."
Under both MacTaggart's initiative and the lawmakers' proposed bill, Californians could ask any large business they patronize—their grocery store, their pharmacy, their gym, their credit card company, their phone carrier, their car maintenance shop—what categories of information the business has collected about them and whether the business has sold that data to anyone; a response would be required within 45 days.

A person taking advantage of this law might find out data brokers have access to surprising trails of their life: how often they buy ice cream, the medications they're taking, where and how often they play games on their phone, or how many miles they've racked up on their car.
Beyond that new transparency, the passage of the law would mean that a citizen could tell these businesses they're not allowed to sell that information anymore. Companies would be required to put a "clear and conspicuous link" on their website that says, "Do not sell my personal information."
The tech industry hates the ballot initiative and has poured $2 million into an association, "The Committee to Protect California Jobs," formed to fight it. Among those who have donated to the anti-privacy cause are Google, Facebook, Amazon, Verizon, Comcast, Cox Communications, AT&T, Microsoft, Uber, advertising associations, and industry groups for people who make and sell cars.
Car dealers don't want to lose access to any bit of intel that tells them when someone might be ready to drop five-plus figures on a new set of wheels. As for the other companies, their opposition reveals the extent to which their business models depend on the free market for data. (Facebook withdrew from the Committee earlier this year, as the appearance of opposing new privacy legislation became unseemly in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.) MacTaggart says political consultants have told him that the Committee to Protect California Jobs would spend up to $100 million to try to kill the bill, an amount he wouldn't be able to match.
It's a classic David vs. Goliath scenario, except David is a multi-millionaire and Goliath is a consortium of the wealthiest companies that have ever existed. And it looks like David is going to be victorious once again, either by forcing lawmakers to pass a bill this week or by getting his law in front of voters in November.
It's a classic David vs. Goliath scenario, except David is a multi-millionaire and Goliath is a consortium of the wealthiest companies that have ever existed.
During a rushed hearing about the bill on Tuesday, lawmakers lamented "the process" that was forcing them to hurriedly pass the bill.
"It's a Hobson's choice. Either we pass the bill or this goes to the ballot," said California Senate Judiciary Committee chair Hannah-Beth Jackson. "If this initiative passes [via the ballot], we in the legislature would be helpless to do anything."
The bill proposed by Senator Bob Hertzberg and Representative Edward Chau adopts much of the language from MacTaggart's ballot initiative, though there are some key differences:
The major one is how much it would cost companies who break the law. MacTaggart's law would hit offending businesses with $1,000 to $7,500 in fines for unauthorized exposure of their information; the lawmakers' bill would bring the fines down tenfold to $100-$750.
The ballot initiative requires companies to tell you about any sharing or selling of your data while the bill specifies selling, which means that a company won't have to tell you about data that gets passed around within their family of companies, and those families can be pretty big.
The ballot initiative prohibits companies from charging you more for their services if you press that hypothetical new privacy button to stop the sale of your data. The bill says the same thing but then says that a company can offer "financial incentives" to those who let the company monetize their data, so it's okay to charge some people more because they turned down the "incentives."
The ballot initiative requires companies to tell you exactly who they sold your data to; the lawmakers' bill would just have them tell you the category of company to which they sold your data.
The bill is definitely weaker than the ballot initiative thanks to tech and business lobbyists, and if MacTaggart wanted to play hardball, he could still take his proposal to voters in November, but that would likely mean spending more millions on the campaign. The Committee To Protect California Jobs doesn't have an official statement on the bill yet, though has called the ballot initiative "unworkable." It "[requires] the internet in California to operate differently-limiting our choices, hurting our businesses, and cutting our connection to the global economy," said its spokesperson Steven Maviglio in a statement.
California actually passed something similar to this bill in 2003, but without the threat of direct democracy hanging over its head, it became so watered down as to be ineffective. Called "Shine the Light," it allows Californians to ask companies if they've given personal information to third parties and to request they stop doing that, but it only applies to data given away for marketing purposes (like when the magazine you subscribe to sells your address to charities, resulting in more junk mail coming your way). Incredibly, companies can opt out of complying with the transparency requirement of the law if they simply put a clause in their privacy policy to that effect.
"Shine the Light got watered down because the politicians were looking to score a headline with little attention paid to the actual outcome," said Steve Peace, a former longtime California state senator as well as an Attack of the Killer Tomatoes writer/producer/actor who is now working on bringing the movie to the stage. "With politics, it's often about branding more than what's actually accomplished by the bill."
In 2013, Peace tried to get a privacy law on the books through California's ballot initiative process that would make it easier for people to sue when companies exposed their personal data. That was the first time the "Committee to Protect California Jobs" was activated, with Facebook, Google, Verizon, Acxiom, and a few banks donating almost $100,000 to the group. But Peace's initiative was short-lived, and he dropped it after the legislative analyst projected huge costs to California if the law were passed.
The same year, Bonnie Lowenthal, then a California State Assembly member, tried to push a bill that would make it easier for people to find out what companies were doing with their information, but Silicon Valley "quietly killed" that one too; it never made it out of committee.
"It was a frustrating experience to come up to such a mountain of opposition from the tech industry," said Commissioner Lowenthal by phone. "There's a groundswell for privacy now that didn't exist when I put my bill forward."
"There's a groundswell for privacy now that didn't exist when I put my bill forward."
The groundswell is certainly a factor, but privacy also needed a heavyweight in its corner who was willing to spend millions to hijack the legislative process. (Usually, the millions are stacked against privacy legislation.) MacTaggart grew up on the East Coast, went to Harvard Business School, and then embraced the family business of real estate development. He moved to San Francisco in 1996, in part because he knew the technology industry was about to explode and realized the people behind it were going to need somewhere to live. He specialized in condominiums, self storage units, and eventually, apartment buildings. In other words, MacTaggart's ability to financially support a law detested by the tech industry is a result of that same tech industry's insane growth over the past two decades, and the resulting Bay area housing boom.
His partners in crafting and pushing the law forward are Mary Ross, a former CIA analyst who worked as a lawyer for the House Intelligence Committee, and Rick Arney, a financial executive. They know each other because they all have kids that are around the same age, and they all have similar concerns about the one-sided power of the tech industry.
"There's been a real awakening to the dark side of this industry," said MacTaggart. "When massive amounts of power are concentrated in the hands of a small amount of people, it never ends well."
If lawmakers don't manage to get a bill on the books by Thursday, the tech industry will have four months to convince Californians to vote no on privacy. The Committee to Protect California Jobs has hired Gale Kaufman to do it; she's a renowned consultant who helped get pro-marijuana legislation passed in California and was credited with "demolishing" Governor Schwarzenegger's ambitious agenda in 2005. MacTaggart, meanwhile, has Robin Swanson running his campaign; she's a protege of Kaufman's so it would be like Abby Whelan going up against Olivia Pope in Scandal.
Swanson told me Kaufman would likely spend "ungodly amounts of money on TV ads"—her specialty—and use a variety of scare tactics, from emphasizing MacTaggart's wealth and political naïveté to saying the bill could threaten public safety by making it harder for law enforcement to get the information it needs to track criminals. One of the bill's critics said during a legislative hearing that it could threaten retailer loyalty programs, a fate surely worse than death.
The only propaganda from the "Vote No" campaign seen so far was a flier passed out at a Democratic event earlier this year. It tars MacTaggart as a multi-millionaire (true), says the bill would "jeopardize jobs and innovation" (maybe), and quotes the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst as saying the bill would "cost state and local governments 'tens of millions of dollars'" (partially true; it omits the end of the quote, which says that the cost would be "offset by increased penalty revenue or settlement proceeds authorized by the measure").

When I spoke to MacTaggart earlier this year, he wasn't looking forward to the $100 million campaign that might be waged against him, which is why he may be amenable to a bill that's weaker than what he could put on the ballot.
"I'm terrified. Not that I think anyone should feel sorry for me, but you get yourself into something and you worry what you've done," MacTaggart said to me last month. "All the political people say they're going to come after me personally. I'm a pretty private person. I think they're going to portray me as a wealthy guy who doesn't know what he's doing."
MacTaggart has come as close as anyone to getting a blockbuster privacy law passed in the United States. It could become a reality as soon as Thursday. He may not know what he's doing, but he's done it incredibly well.
Correction: This story originally stated that the bill did not require companies to tell people about information associated with their devices. That was incorrect.

This should be a sign of how corporations really think of us: if we know what they know, then they fear our response. Got to make you wonder how much they've actually been manipulating your life. Imagine if a company manipulated your data to make you appear unfaithful to a partner in order to make you go through a breakup simply so you'd be slightly more likely to use their service. Or if they undermined your chance to purchase a car by undermining your data before you went shopping thereby forcing you to take out a less than stellar loan that will cause your finances to struggle all so that they can be the collections agency to repo your car and take on harvesting your account. That's the kind of data capability corporations can have now. And they most certainly would not want you able to understand the level of data they have on you nor would they want you to be able to request the history on that data.
I can imagine a lot of data-centric businesses are going to be shredding a lot of hard disks should a cast-iron version of this law pass.


Time for some Call Sheet Tips! Here is a quick list of things to think about when making a call sheet. Everyone has their own variations on a call sheet but these are great tips to follow no matter how much experience you have.
List contact information for key crew members such as the production coordinator and location manager.
Put shuttle information on the call sheet, not everyone drives and shuttles are important but crew shouldn't have to wait for a separate email telling them when and where the shuttle will be. Put this near the top of the call sheet.
State what time lunch is and what time expected wrap is. You would be surprised how often this information is not on call sheets.
Include maps in the form of links as well as images. Some people will print the call sheet and have it on them while others will choose to use their phone. Either way make sure that they can access any version of a map necessary. Too much time is wasted because people get lost or can't read the map.
Send the call sheet as a PDF. Word Documents are not appropriate because things can be accidentally changed on them and not everyone's phone can open them.
Include invoicing information. People want to be paid and they shouldn't have to go searching to find out how.
Put all crew members' phone numbers and email addresses on the call sheet. Circulate a crew contact list at the beginning of production; it does not need to be posted on every call sheet.
Add too many images and cutesy icons; as much as they may make the call sheet look more fun they also take away from the important information that needs to be available. The project logo is all you really need.
Cram important information into small spaces, make sure the most important information is clear and in a font size that is readable.
Make your call sheet in Excel, this may just be me but they are awful and they look awful.
Don't bog the call sheet down with unimportant or irrelevant information; send individual emails regarding things that only effect one or two people. The call sheet needs to have all of the important facts that affect everyone or almost everyone.
Send out the call sheet in a mass email to the entire cast and crew. Send one to the crew and then send individual ones to key cast members and another to background and extras.
Those are our Call Sheet Tips! Feel free to comment below and get in contact with us if you have any questions or suggestions.

Races in Nevada, Kentucky, and North Carolina could be key, too. Photo illustration by Slate. Election Day is upon us, and most of the major nonpartisan handicappers and number-crunching forecasters are predicting the same thing: Democrats will overcome a host of structural disadvantages to retake the House, while Republicans will hold onto the Senate, in no small part because of the quirks of the electoral calendar. The available evidence suggests those are the most likely outcomes, but it does not guarantee them—a lesson that made painfully clear. It is all but certain that there will be a few big surprises on Tuesday night that no one will have seen coming on Tuesday morning. But if the surprises keep piling up and happen in just the right places, we just might be looking at a Democratic Senate, a GOP House, or both. Here, then, are a few plausible ways the prevailing wisdom could go bust. Flipping the Senate was always going to be a heavy lift for Democrats, despite control of the upper chamber sitting just two seats away.
Liberal Writer: I'd Rather My Daughter Date A Member Of MS Than A Republican
The ruling oligarchy has truly divided and conquered on the heels of ignorance. Larry Berry I like Tom Selleck. The republican party would do well to put HIM front and center instead of nugent, trump, etc. Instead they pat the nuge on the back, thank him for his support and let him be the celebrity face of the gop and nra.

Liberal Democrats were those least likely to experience fulfilling sexual intimacy, although they reportedly have more frequent sex than their conservative counterparts. The " Single in America Study " polled 5, individuals and found that 53 percent of single conservative Republicans are likely to achieve orgasm during sex, compared with 40 percent of liberal Democrats.

Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds. At the same time, enthusiasm about voting next year has increased among Democrats nationwide following an unexpected win in Alabama's Senate special election and a strong showing in Virginia's state government elections last month. That point edge is the widest Democrats have held in CNN polling on the contests, and the largest at this point in midterm election cycles dating back two decades. The finding follows several other public polls showing large double-digit leads for Democrats on similar questions.
The Democrats hold a larger lead overall now because Republicans make up a smaller share of the electorate than they did in And those Republicans who are still in the electorate are less enthusiastic about voting next year than Democrats. Read More The poll was conducted before the passage of Republicans' signature tax reform bill this week, which the GOP hopes will boost their electoral prospects next year.
Findings from the same poll released earlier this week found that the bill's unpopularity on the rise, with few expecting tangible benefits for themselves once it becomes law. Ryan on tax plan: That marks a rebound for Democrats after their favorability ratings sagged earlier this fall and is the highest mark for them since July of The Republican numbers are also on the rise, but remain below levels reached earlier this year. The GOP may be further held back by a public displeased and angry with the way the country is being governed under their control.
Those numbers are similar to the levels seen in December , ahead of the presidential election in which voters seeking change propelled Donald Trump to the presidency. But the partisan divides underlying those numbers are now largely reversed.

At the start of the year, Republicans promised to reverse the near percent rise in the capital-gains tax under President Barack Obama — a hike that helped bring investment rates to historic lows.

Native American ladies, Muslim ladies, African-American ladies, moms and child-free ladies, younger and previous ladies all received elections this week. But in a single regard these ladies will likely be remarkably homogeneous: Jennifer Lawless, professor of politics on the University of Virginia Republicans have proven diminishing curiosity in placing up ladies in elections.
During the cycle, feminine Republican candidates had a tough time getting funding, Jennifer Pierotti Lim, co-founder of Republican Women for Progress, informed HuffPost just lately. Female candidates win on the similar charges as their male friends, Walsh mentioned. This holds for each events. On Tuesday, for instance, Tennessee elected its first feminine senator, Republican Marsha Blackburn, a Trump-supporting conservative lady.
The results of this lopsided gender configuration prolong past the demographics of the legislature. If ladies are largely confined to 1 social gathering, then stereotypes about ladies are going to be more durable to dislodge and the issues of the ladies of this nation will more and more be considered by way of a partisan lens.
And the best way the 2 events dealt with accusations had lots to do with their gender composition. Gillibrand obtained pushback, to make certain, however her colleagues in the end adopted her lead. Indeed, they overwhelmingly rushed to defend and push by way of the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, whilst he was going through credible accusations of misconduct.
Data suggest Republicans have a race problem
For in the scenario being pushed by these disaffected Republicans, only the most Trumpy candidates would be safe. Election by election, voters can and should make up their own minds. The Family Savings Act will help families pay for their education and retirement, reducing dependence on crippling student loans and providing a means to supplement Social Security.

Syrian troops intensify attacks as entire villages flee
The European Union may have acted by imposing travel restrictions and sanctions on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's wife and family, but it – and non-binding resolutions passed by the United Nations – are having little impact in stemming the violence. As UN envoy Kofi Annan plans to return to neogtiations on Sunday, the Syrian government shelled parts of central and northern Syria.
As the fighting intensifies and broadens, the growing refugee crisis is being felt in neighboring Turkey. It is estimated that as many as 16,000 Syrian refugees have fled into the tent cities in Turkey.
The refugee crisis will only increase. According to a United Nations commission, the residents of entire towns and villages are fleeing the wartorn nation. The more disturbing trend, however, is the shift by the Syrian government from targeting insurgents to killing the civilians who may be sheltering the opposition – so-called collective punishment.
"The commission's chairman, Sergio Pinheiro, said the pattern of killings also had shifted — while most deaths in the early months were from clashes between security forces and unarmed protesters, many more are now from shelling and shootings by military units deployed to rout insurgents hiding among civilians.," reports the New York Times.
There also is evidence of a growing involvement by Iran in providing assistance, including surveillance technology, to the Assad regime.

Anadol: 55 years old and still on roads...
Mr. Vehbi Koc, Turkish businessman and industrialist, had a dream to manufacture a domectic car in Turkey. In 1928, he was a Ford dealer in Ankara. After the World War II, he was dealing with Italian Fiat to produce tractor in Turkey. In 1959, he was manufacturing Ford trucks in Otosan. In 1960, Otosan started to manufacture Ford Thames trucks and Ford Consul cars in its assembly line. In 1961, Ford Thames Trader minibus assembly line has been added to the production; and 240 Ford Taunus 17M estate cars have been produced within 1963-1965. And it was the right time for a national car.
Security belt: Your life guard on roads...
Volvo had the first safety belts in 1849. The first U.S. patent for automobile seat beats was issued to Edward J. Claghorn of New York, New York on February 10, 1885. Claghorn was granted United States Patent #312,085 for a Safety-Belt for tourists, described in the patent as "designed to be applied to the person, and provided with hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object."
According to 2008 data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 2,983 individuals were killed in car accident related crashes. Of these traffic deaths, 1,795 individuals were either drivers or passengers in safety belt equipped vehicles. Sixty percent (1,085) of these people killed were not wearing a safety belt.

Anadol 2nd in his category at Peking-Paris Rally
The Peking to Paris rally ended on Saturday with a parade through the streets of Paris celebrating the end of this remarkable 10,000 mile event. A large crowd including many friends and family greeted the cars when they entered Place Vendome after roller skating marshals cleared their progress round the Arc de Triomphe and down the Champs Elysees.
It is 37 days since a total of 98 cars set out from the Chinese capital, coming from 26 different countries, thought to be a motorsport record.
With ages ranging from the oldest, a 103 year old six litre Itala to a 1970 Vauxhall, the competition was divided into three leaderboards.
STC: new consept design
Within last decade, we see some producers are reproducing some of their vintage models with a new design and consept. We witness that these models are still preferred.
New VW Scirocco is a good exemple of such a reproduced cars, like GM's Camaro, Mustang, Corvette and some more could be listed.
And now, Anadol STC has ben redesigned as a consept car by a Turkish Designer, Mr. Hayri Istay. We appreciate his work which offers the soul of Anadol STC of 70's and carry to 2010.
Victory for Ogier in WRC France Rally...
Volkswagen's Sebastien Ogier has sealed his 2013 WRC title success in style by charging back to win Rallye de France, the eleventh round in the 2013 World Rally Championship.
Ogier's crowning in Alsace might have been pretty much a formality after his victory in Australia last month, but when it came following Thursday's Power Stage, he still had another 19 stages to complete.


Bonus post & infographic: Six fools at a glance.
Typically, you have the option of listening to our podcast, reading the notes or both. For this post, because of the conversational format, please tune into the podcast recording and refer to the written post for the highlights. We pray the post blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the post!
Previously, we've talked about wisdom and foolishness. Foolishness is a behavior that does not come from, nor line up with the Word of God (See James 3:13-16).
While choosing to walk in foolishness seems "logical" and may "work" initially, anything we do outside of God's Word will eventually and always have a high price tag. And the cost of living foolishly will be paid--either in this life, and without repentance and salvation, in the life to come.
Foolishness is a type of unbelief and unbelievers do not inherit the Kingdom of God (See Revelation 21:8).
We've previously examined three types of foolish people: the Scorning fool, the, Simple fool, and the "Talkative" fool.
Today, we'll look at six additional types of foolish people and behaviors they practice.
Listen BCU Fam, this breakdown of these foolish behaviors is so enlightening to me! I confess, I recognize some of this unwise conduct we've been talking about in some past decisions I've made. EEK! But I do thank God for His mercy as He patiently waited for me to find my way back to the wisdom of His Word, which is always right.
God desires to give us wisdom–we just have to ask! (James 1:5). That doesn't mean we won't have challenges, but if we are applying His wisdom, we'll come always be in His perfect will, hence, our decisions will be perfect. Perfect doesn't mean without tribulations, rather we are walking in God's perfect will for our lives (See Romans 8:28).
What about you? Did any of what what's here reverberate with you? Please share your thoughts in the comments section the BlenCouragesU.com website where we can continue our chat!
Previous Post 7 benefits of investing in wisdom.
Thank you so much for this detailed breakdown. I most definitely see myself in these different kinds of fools. I realize that most of the time, I was trying to manipulate or get my way somehow. This way of acting and living is most definitely not from God. I've suffered because of living according to my own "wisdom". I've hurt others by running my mouth and/or speaking against them. I've lived in squalor because of my foolishness. I love that you said that we now might have "moments" of foolishness, but we don't walk in it. Praise God for that!!! Studies like this help expose us so we can repent and also become equipped to wisely share with others when we recognize foolishness tripping them up, too. This is awesome! I can't wait to share. I love the new look of the site, too!
Thank you so much and God bless you for your faithfulness in stopping by!
p.s. Thanks for letting how much you like the new and improved version of the site! 🙂 I'm digging it myself! Lol!!!

Domain Controllers: What You Should Know
Domains are an important part of the information and access controls needed for a business. It is a way of grouping user and computer accounts so that they can be managed from a central location. By grouping user and computer accounts into one central , easier administration and freedom for users to log into the network from any computer connected to the network. So how does this differ from local user accounts?
A local user account is a tool that will regulate access to a local PC. It's primary function is to enable administrators to perform maintenance on workstations. On a smaller network, user account passwords are acceptable security mechanisms, but if each PC on a large network has it's own password, the administrator would be required to change the permissions needed for an account. If the user's computer crashes on a local network, they will be unable to finish whatever they were working on, and will have to wait until their PC is back up and running. Hence, the need for a system that could handle multiple users and authentications from a central location, the domain controller.
Basically, the domain controller consists of a server, with it's own domain, which controls security requests coming from other computers and servers, in that domain. Included in the security requests that are handled by the domain server are requests to log into another server, and also verifying permission for needed functions (access for a file folder or file modification).
Originally included in the Windows NT version, a domain controller managed access to user-granted resources and servers via username and password authentication. That version worked through both a primary domain controller and a backup. If for some reason the primary went down, the backup domain controller could then serve as the primary controller.
With the upgrade to Windows 2000, the domain controller became known as Active Directory. Active directory is a more simplified version of a domain controller, with easier authentication for administrators and users, for managing resources, sites, various services and network users.
Active Directory then morphed into Active Directory Domain Services with the introduction of Windows Server 2008. The most important feature is the ability of the main server to act as a global catalog server. This feature eliminates the need for the chain of servers needed to access requested information with the prior domain control systems.
From domain controllers, to active directory, to the active directory domain services program of today, the simplification of administrative duties, user control, and password authentication, makes for an easier, more streamlined, and faster system for your business computer needs.

A Chibi character is a small cartoon character invented by the Japanese. The word basically translates to "cute small person," and is used in Shojo Magnas and in cartoons for young children. The Chibi character have heads that are two or three times larger than the rest of the body, and the arms and legs of the characters are short and stubby. Typically, the characters have enormous eyes. You can translate your own features into Chibi form with little difficulty.
Colored pencils or markers
Draw a large round circle for the head. Draw a smaller oval that is about half the size of the head for a body.
Divide the head into a cross pattern using light pressure. Draw two large eyes in the middle of the head shape. Erase the cross lines and add other facial features, such as a mouth and ears.
Draw the hair on the character. Use a similar length and style to your own hair. This will be the main distinguishing feature of the cartoon, so make sure it looks like you.
Draw small rounded hands and feet on your Chibi character. Add in clothing and other details.
Color in the Chibi character so that it matches clothing that you typically wear, your eye color and hair color. Add in shading if desired to complete the Chibi you.
