The Services are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including United States copyright law and international treaties. Services shall constitute the online, web-based applications ordered by you through an Order Form and provided by Golden via http://www.goldenvolunteer.com or other designated websites or IP addresses as communicated to you by Golden. An "Order Form" shall mean either (a) a document signed by both parties identifying the Services purchased by you and made available by Golden pursuant to this Agreement or (b) your selection and acceptance of a specific pricing tier via the online purchasing process at http://www.goldenvolunteer.com.
Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement or as may be expressly permitted by applicable law, you will not, and will not permit or authorize any third party to: (i) reproduce, modify, translate, enhance, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or create derivative works of any of the Services; (ii) rent, lease or sublicense access to any of the Services; or (iii) circumvent or disable any security or technological features or measures of the Services.
The pricing tiers for the Services can be found at http://goldenvolunteer.com/pricing/. Fees paid hereunder are non-refundable. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order Form, fees for the first month of the Services are prorated based on the calendar days remaining in the particular month at the pricing tier you selected provided that in the event your usage of the Services exceeds the pricing tier you selected, fees are adjusted as follows: for the previous month, Golden will charge the lower of any overage cost for usage in excess of the pricing tier you selected versus the retroactive upgrade cost to the next higher tier. The subsequent month is charged at the then-current pricing tier.
Unless a subscription term of a longer duration is indicated in the applicable Order Form (a "Subscription Term"), the Services will automatically renew on a monthly basis unless and until you terminate the Services by providing written notice to Golden (email is acceptable) or selecting the cancellation option on the Dashboards, and such termination will be effective as of the last day of the calendar month during which such termination notice is received. Any Subscription Term specified in an Order Form will automatically renew for additional terms of twelve months each unless and until either party provides the other with written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days in advance of the last day of the then-current Subscription Term.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, fees due hereunder will be billed to your credit card and you authorize the card issuer to pay all such amounts and authorizes Golden (or its billing agent) to charge the credit card account until you or Golden cancels or terminates the Services; provided that if payment is not received from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand. You must provide current, complete and accurate billing and credit card information. You agree to pay all costs of collection, including attorney's fees and costs, on any outstanding balance. In certain instances, the issuer of the credit card may charge a foreign transaction fee or related charges, which you shall be responsible to pay.

Colorado AFL-CIO and AFSCME Endorse Jessie Danielson
Wheat Ridge, CO – Colorado State House Democratic candidate Jessie Danielson's growing list of support expanded further today, as two major labor unions endorsed her candidacy for House District 24. Both the Colorado AFL-CIO and public employee union AFSCME have announced their support for Danielson.
"I am proud that these two organizations, who have fought so hard for Colorado working families, are endorsing my candidacy," said Danielson.
"My campaign is built around the idea of reducing income inequality and the message of giving every working family a fair shot at economic security," Danielson added. "Doing so means growing the middle class, helping workers on the job and in the community, raising hourly wage averages to increase household income, and fighting for a strong public school system."
In addition, Danielson's campaign has received the endorsement of numerous current and former elected officials and several other labor organizations.
Jessie Danielson serves as State Director for America Votes. She was appointed by Governor Hickenlooper to the Voter Access and Modernized Election Commission to oversee implementation of election law and is a long-time advocate for greater access for everyone in the political process. She also chairs the board of Emerge Colorado, an organization that encourages and trains Democratic women to run for office, and she serves on the boards of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado and ProgressNow Colorado. Danielson is a former statewide political director for NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado.
Danielson owns a home in Wheat Ridge, the third generation of her family to live there. She was born and raised in Ault, Colorado, where her family farms. Her website is www.jessiedanielson.com.

Gwinnett County commissioners have approved a contract with highest scoring firm Gilbane Building Company to build an addition to the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center and a new parking deck. The voter-approved 2009 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program is funding the bulk of the $75 million project with the remainder coming from the capital project fund.
The new 180,000 square-foot building will consist of four stories and a lower level it will house courtrooms, a jury assembly room and holding cells. A security clearance lobby will connect the new building and an adjacent 1,500-space parking structure. The three new structures will be located in the space occupied by the current parking structure. The new building will also connect to the existing Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center.
The Gilbane team has built 59 courthouses in the past 10 years, including 16 in Georgia, and more than 50 parking decks in the past 5 years.


FRIDAY, Nov. 13, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Many operating rooms have too many people coming and going during surgeries, which puts patients at increased risk for infections, a new study suggests.
Most operating rooms in U.S. hospitals have special ventilation systems meant to keep out potentially contaminated air from surrounding corridors. But every time the doors open, outside air can get into the operating room, the study authors explained.
In this study, researchers recorded the number and length of door openings during nearly 200 knee and hip surgeries at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore.
In one-third of the operations, there were enough door openings to potentially defeat the safety effects of the doorway airflow system, according to the study published online Nov. 11 in the journal Orthopedics.
It's likely this is a common problem nationwide, the Johns Hopkins University researchers said.
"Our findings add to a growing body of evidence of a relatively common practice that could be a potential safety concern, and raises questions about why doors get opened and how we can prevent or minimize the frequency and duration of behaviors that could compromise OR sterility," study senior author Stephen Belkoff, said in a university news release.
He and his colleagues conducted their study without the knowledge of operating room staff, so they couldn't ask why so many people went in and out during surgeries.
"What we know for sure is that there was a whole lot more traffic in and out of the OR than seems necessary or easily explained," said Belkoff, who is an associate professor in the department of orthopaedic surgery and director of the International Center for Orthopaedic Advancement.
Only one of the patients in the study developed an infection after surgery, and the cause of that infection was unknown.
"Yes, we have low infection rates and, yes, we take a great many precautions, but we cannot be complacent, and we must remain vigilant about practices that pose risk -- theoretical or otherwise," study co-author Dr. Simon Mears said in the news release. "Excessive door opening is one such practice."

| Back to e-WV The West Virginia Encyclopedia
See WV: Lewisburg
Lewisburg, once voted America's "coolest small town," has a lively arts community, thriving and varied commerce, and a high quality of life.
At an elevation of 2,300 feet, the seat of Greenbrier County has long been a refuge from East Coast summer heat and humidity. The climate and numerous natural springs have brought visitors to the area since the pre-Colonial era. The town is situated at what was once the crossing of the Seneca and Midland trails, which now are incorporated into U.S. 219 and U.S. 60. Interstate 64 also passes near Lewisburg and nearby White Sulphur Springs, home of the Greenbrier, whose clientele keeps many upscale Lewisburg antique shops, art galleries, and restaurants in business. Every summer the West Virginia State Fair in neighboring Fairlea also brings an influx of traffic.
Lewisburg is unusually bustling for a town of 3,830 residents. There are dozens of clothing stores, gift shops, pubs, coffee and sandwich shops, bakeries, and places for a more refined meal. One of the most unusual places to eat is the General Lewis Inn, a bed and breakfast whose dining room is open to the public. The Inn was built in 1834 as the home of John Withrow. The lobby was added with the west wing in 1928 and features a collection of antiques.
The Virginia General Assembly officially established Lewisburg in 1782. A 236-acre National Register Historic District showcases buildings from the town's rich history that escaped an August 1897 fire, which burned most of downtown. Brochures for a walking tour of the downtown district can be picked up at the Greenbrier County Visitor's Center or at many downtown locations. The Maple Street Historic District, located north of the Greenbrier County Library, features homes and businesses in the town's historically African-American neighborhood.
Lewisburg's Andrew Lewis Park is named after General Andrew Lewis, who first camped there with his father, John, and brother, Thomas, in 1751 while John Lewis surveyed the area. In 1774 Andrew Lewis assembled more than 1,000 frontier militiamen at the site before marching to Point Pleasant to fight Chief Cornstalk. The park includes Lewisburg's original spring, Lewis Spring.
North House Museum, a home dating from 1820, houses the Greenbrier Historical Society. Among its artifacts are items from the Civil War, period furniture, and historic wagons. Lewisburg was the site of a major battle between the North and the South on May 23, 1862, that included a future U.S. president, then-Union Major Rutherford B. Hayes. The city's Confederate Cemetery on McElhenney Road holds the remains of 95 Confederate soldiers.
The historic district includes the Old Stone Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1796 and is the oldest church in continuous use west of the Allegheny Mountains. John Wesley United Methodist Church, built in 1835, features interior galleries and a slave entrance. Visitors can see where a cannonball hit the southwest corner of the building during the Battle of Lewisburg in 1862.
The town has long been a center of law and education. In 1831 the Virginia Supreme Court began meeting regularly in Lewisburg. The current county courthouse is the oldest in continuous operation in West Virginia. The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine was established in 1974 at the former Greenbrier Military School (1812-1972), and the Greenbrier Military School Museum is located next to the osteopathic school alumni center. The Greenbrier River Branch of the New River Community and Technical College and Carnegie Hall are situated on the grounds of the former Greenbrier College for Women.
Carnegie Hall was built in 1902 by steel baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie as a classroom building for the Lewisburg Female Institute, later called the Greenbrier College for Women. Now a regional not-for-profit arts and education center, it is one of four Carnegie Halls still in continuous use in the world and has year-round live performances and art exhibits.
Carnegie Hall is only one of several performing arts venues in Lewisburg. The Greenbrier Valley Theatre offers year-round live performances in a building that once held Leggett's Department Store. The Trillium Performing Arts Collective is a community organization and school.
There also is much to see and do near Lewisburg. Lost World Caverns is a designated a National Natural Landmark with a subterranean rock mountain and a prehistoric ocean floor. Organ Cave has 45 miles of mapped passageways. Greenbrier County has several golf courses and fly fishing streams; the 164-acre Lake Sherwood has boating, swimming, fishing and camping; the 5,100-acre Greenbrier State Forest has cabins, camping, hiking, swimming and hunting; and the 77-mile Greenbrier River Trail provides river access for fishing and canoeing and is used for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.

MEMPHIS, TN – On the final day of the regular season, the Memphis Redbirds took an 8-4 victory over the Nashville Sounds at First Horizon Park.
Right-handed pitcher Tommy Parsons tossed 5.0 innings of three-run baseball to earn his International League lead-tying 12th win of the season. Parsons allowed six hits, struck out three and walked two batters in the win.
Offensively for Memphis, the Redbirds scored five runs between the second and fourth innings on RBI hits from left fielder Chase Pinder, shortstop Kramer Robertson, second baseman Nolan Gorman and right fielder Moises Gomez. Gomez blasted his 39th home run of the season to finish the year in the MiLB lead.
In the top of the ninth inning, catcher Ivan Herrera drilled his sixth home run of the season to bring home Gorman and Robertson and make the score 8-3. Third baseman Roberto Baldoquin and designated hitter supplied multi-hit efforts, with Baldoquin registering three hits.
In relief, Grant Black, T.J. McFarland and Kodi Whitley combined to allow just one run. The Memphis Redbirds wrap up the season with a 73-77 record.

What's the history of using extensions of file names (such as *.c, *.for, *.bmp etc) to indicate the general type of a file?
My hazy memory of working on ancient mainframe computers is that a file name extensions were not mandatory for most software. For example, if you wanted to compile a Fortran program, you didn't have to end the name of the source file with ".FOR". People did use file name extensions as reminders to themselves, but these were a matter of personal preference.
When ms-DOS, arrived, the associated software did expect files to have particular extensions. For example, a BMP file has information about itself in a specified header within the file, so in principle a program could examine the contents of a file named "WALDO" and determine if it was a BMP image file instead of expecting the file name to be "WALDO.BMP". However, most software was lazy in that respect and required the extenson on the file name to indicate the file's type.
That's an excellent question. First, we didn't have files, we had decks or tapes. Then we had files but they didn't have names (search for 4 EOF marks on the tape). Then they had names, then they had names with extensions.
The earliest I can remember was Unix in 1977 had file extensions. That long predates the PC or the Apple ][ or MS-DOS.
Not so long, depending on how long "long" is.
Apple ]['s were around in '77, and the IBM PC dates to '81. I don't believe that the Apple computers used file extensions, at least not before ProDOS (if then), but the PCs certainly used file extensions from the get-go, I believe.
I also remembered that the DEC machine also had file extensions. PDP-11 date? DEC 20 date? Also Multics going back to the 1960s.
Edit: Also the HP2100 circa 1973 had file extensions. As did the Prime 300 in 1974. The VAX in 77. Data General, Interdata, Modcomp, Xerox, there were many systems with file extensions in the 70s.
Edit: The Apple ][ in 77 yes, but it did not have files until the year ?? when it got floppy disks too. I bought my Apple ][ Plus model in June 1979. It had floppies from the first, if I remember right.
IBM's MVS/TSO did something similar in 1971.
It still does. These days it's called z/OS TSO/E. The EDIT (line editor) command in TSO (Time Sharing Option) uses the final qualifier of a dataset name as a dataset type to set defaults for record format, block size, and logical record length. Most other programs ignore the content of dataset names. MVS still limits dataset name length to 44 characters.
The article linked to by @256bits has a link to this 8.3 filename format article.
DEC PDP-11's (not sure about the PDP-8) and VAX computers in early 1980's used file extensions. IIRC the C interpreter expected .c and produced .o object files expected by the compiler. My first use of FORTRAN in late 1970's complied according to directives coded on the first punch card (usually colored green) in job control language (JCL). The IBM mainframes included .for and.obj file extensions but do not know if they were required. Probably depended on the program or script.
My first use of FORTRAN in late 1970's complied according to directives coded on the first punch card (usually colored green) in job control language (JCL). The IBM mainframes included .for,.obj, and .exe file extensions but do not know if they were required. Probably depended on the program or script.
The compiler or assembler can generate a dataset name ending in .OBJ for the object module. I've never seen .EXE in an IBM mainframe dataset name. It wouldn't be invalid, but it also wouldn't have its special meaning there. Maybe you remembered the JCL EXEC statement.
OS/8 had two letter extensions.

Q: how to find route of two place i have 3 buses with 3 routes lets name our buses with bus-A,bus-B,bus-C and their routes with r1,r2,r3.. so, the places that are included in their routes are
bus-A route is r1
bus-B route is r2
bus-C route is r3

r1:[badoc,pin,curri,bat,san,laoag](vise versa)
r2:[pag,bang,bur,pas,bac,laoag](vise versa)
r3:[ban,mar,ding,san,laoag](vise versa)

and i want to find the closest route for
CURRENT LOCATION:badoc
TARGET LOCATION:laoag

please help me how the algorithm should get the route... thanks alot!

A: Your Problem can be solved using Dijkstra's Algorithm. Think of the bus stops as nodes and use weight one for each of the edges.

A: Since the graph modeling this problem is not weighted, there is no need for Dijkstra's Algorithm in here.
BFS will also find the shortest path - and is both easier to code and will find the solution faster.
Module your graph as G=(V,E) such that V = { all stops } and E = {(v,u) | u follows v as a stop in some bus }
After creating the graph, just run a BFS - the solution found by BFS is guaranteed to be optimal.

Did you know that the Harbour Rocks Hotel is located within walking distance from the Rocks food market? Each weekend talented people from all over the city and the surrounding area come together and create a place where everyone is welcomed. That place is the Rocks market, where you can find everything from handcrafted jewellery, high-quality textiles, unique homewares, local art, beauty products and a wide selection of food. The Harbour Rocks Hotel just so happens to be in the centre of that vibrant culture.
If you want to explore the market, the most prudent and cost-effective way to do that is to book a room somewhere nearby. At the Harbour Rocks Hotel, we can offer you rooms and suites that are comfortable, elegant and freshly refurbished, so your stay with us will be delightful. Furthermore, our staff is very professional and helpful, so if you need directions or some local insider tips, they will offer you their advice.
You can make a reservation for one of our Heritage rooms, which come in three different sizes, standard, superior and deluxe. Each of them features a king size bed, and all of them are decorated with warm, pastel colours and local art pieces. The lighting in the rooms is soft and complementary to the character of the rooms.
If you're looking for a more spacious place, we can offer you the studio suite, which functions as an apartment with a lounge area which has an extra double sofa bed. Our best-seller is the suite with a view! The Harbour view suite is luxurious and located on the top floor of the hotel. Once you go out on the terrasse, the panorama in front of you includes the Circular Quay in Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. Moreover, the suite features a large separate bedroom with a king sized bed, open plan lounge with double sofa bed, dining area and a deluxe bathroom.
Additionally, all the great tourist attraction in the city are close by, so you won't have to go far to admire the Sydney Opera House or the Harbour Bridge. The Rocks area is trendy, artsy and sophisticated, so you'll be able to find restaurants, cafés and shopping streets just around the corner of the hotel.
Let's focus on the food market in Sydney. It's located next to the CBD area, and it's close to the ferries and trains of Circular Quay. Every Friday, locals and tourists come to this spot to enjoy in the sights, scents and sounds of street food. Melbourne has the Food Truck Park, Sydney has the Rocks food market.
The historical significance of the place is also impressive since this is the oldest present in the city, where cobblestone streets are still a welcomed sight. The rich and diverse culture is seen everywhere, including the food selection. Sydney's rich and varied cultural heritage brings out the best possible mixes and fusions of spices, ingredients, flavours and recipes. It's rather easy to find something for everyone in the market.
What's more, you can find other pleasures besides food. There are musical shows and eccentric shops that sell decorative paintings or locally-designed fashion. If you're committed in your search, you can even find unique, one-off items in some of the stalls scattered around the market.
As long as you're in Sydney, the Rocks food market is a "must-see" spot where all of your senses will relish in the scrumptious food nearby. On each corner of the market, there is a new and delicious dish you can try!

Erberich ist ein Ortsteil in Unterodenthal in der Gemeinde Odenthal im Rheinisch-Bergischen Kreis. Er liegt auf der Höhe an der Bergstraße, die von Odenthal nach Burscheid führt.

Geschichte
Papst Hadrian IV. bescheinigte am 11. November 1157 der Stiftung des Frauenklosters Füssenich die Existenz und zählte dabei alle Güter des Klosters auf. Darunter befand sich auch ein Hof in "Erteburche"; aus diesem Namen hat sich zuerst "Erburch" und später "Erberich" entwickelt. In einer Urkunde vom 9. Februar 1373  wurde Erberich als Dorf bezeichnet. Das bedeutet, dass hier zu jener Zeit bereits mehr als nur ein Einzelhof gestanden hat.

Aus einer erhaltenen Steuerliste von 1586 geht hervor, dass die Ortschaft Teil der Honschaft Blecher im Kirchspiel Odenthal war.

Die Topographia Ducatus Montani des Erich Philipp Ploennies, Blatt Amt Miselohe, belegt, dass der Wohnplatz 1715 als Dorf ohne Kirche kategorisiert wurde und mit Erpach bezeichnet wurde. Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking benennt die Hofschaft auf seiner Charte des Herzogthums Berg 1789 als Erberich. Aus ihr geht hervor, dass Erberich zu dieser Zeit Teil von Unterodenthal in der Herrschaft Odenthal war.

Unter der französischen Verwaltung zwischen 1806 und 1813 wurde die Herrschaft aufgelöst und Erberich wurde politisch der Mairie Odenthal im Kanton Bensberg zugeordnet. 1816 wandelten die Preußen die Mairie zur Bürgermeisterei Odenthal im Kreis Mülheim am Rhein.

Der Ort ist auf der Topographischen Aufnahme der Rheinlande von 1824, auf der Preußischen Uraufnahme von 1840 als Erberich verzeichnet. Ab der Preußischen Neuaufnahme von 1892 ist er auf Messtischblättern regelmäßig als Erberich verzeichnet.

Dior says it has launched a new line of jewelry designed to be more affordable and available to the poor.
The line, called Jade Buddha Necklace, will feature more expensive versions of traditional necklaces and other necklacing styles, which will include earrings, earrings with diamonds and more.
It will be available to those who qualify for the new $15,000 tax rebate program, which allows families to save money on their child's education.
Dior said it has a new range of accessories designed to appeal to a wider range of people than its other products.
The new line, the company said, includes earrings and earrings featuring diamonds, ear rings with gold and ear rings that feature emeralds and pearls.
It also includes ear rings featuring diamonds and earring designs that are made with a different material that is made from real diamonds, it said.
Read more about the Dior jewelry line at the dior.com website.
The shirts have been made from the same fabric as the new Nike Premier League shirts, with a blue collar, grey shirt and blue waist.
The blue collar is the same colour as the collar on the shirts from last season.
They also feature the new Adidas Premier League branding on the collar and sleeves.
They have the Premier League crest on the sleeve, as well as the logo of the new club on the front of the shirt.
The shirts will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, with pre-orders available until January 13.
Nike said that pre-order figures have already exceeded 1.1 million and that the shirt is currently selling for around £40.
Adidas, meanwhile, said that it expects to sell 10 million pairs of Premier League Premier League Elite jerseys in the first week of February.
A Canadian-based designer has created a bracelet that has the perfect combination of colour, style and function.
Zales neckties are made with natural fabrics that are designed to be a perfect match for the necklaced piece, a necklace or earring.
The necklace bracelet was designed by designer and designer friend and fashion blogger, Alexandra Zales.
She said her inspiration for the necklace came from her time in Japan and how she was unable to find a necklace with a wide range of colours and styles.
"The colours were just too limited, so it was very hard to find colours that fit into the pattern," she said.
"So the colours I wanted to create were bright and colourful, but also soft and comfortable."
It is a piece that can be worn everyday, it is a wearable accessory that has a great appeal and that is really important to me.
"It is now sold in the UK and Canada.
Zale said she wanted to combine two of her favourite hobbies, designing necklacey bracelets and creating necklacings."
I love to design necklacer pieces because they are so functional and the colours are so vibrant and colourful," she explained."
This necklace has been my favourite for quite some time.
"Zales is a designer, fashion blogger and teacher who has taught at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
She said she began her necklaccaing career in 2008 and has since worked with a range of brands including the designer Alexander McQueen, the designer Levi's, Marc Jacobs and Zales neckwear brand.
She is also the creator of the Zales Design website, which has been featured on the popular TV series The Amazing Race.
The Zales necklace was designed to have a wide colour palette that was flattering for all necklacers and earrings."
There are a lot of people out there who are struggling to find something that fits them and I am trying to create something that will be easy to wear for all," she added."
For me it is about finding the perfect balance between colour and function.


Abstract: We study the simulated CO emission from elliptical galaxies formed in the mergers of gas-rich disk galaxies. The cold gas not consumed in the merger-driven starburst quickly resettles into a disk-like configuration. By analyzing a variety of arbitrary merger orbits that produce a range of fast to slow-rotating remnants, we find that molecular disk formation is a fairly common consequence of gas-rich galaxy mergers. Hence, if a molecular disk is observed in an early-type merger remnant, it is likely the result of a "wet merger" rather than a "dry merger". We compare the physical properties from our simulated disks (e.g. size and mass) and find reasonably good agreement with recent observations. Finally, we discuss the detectability of these disks as an aid to future observations.

Q: Webapp to explore /manage error logs of Tomcat from a browser Do you know a nice webapp that allows one to explore / search / archive (rotate) Tomcat logs via a WebUI : I am tired of logging onto my remote servers and "tail -f" log files whenever an error happens.
I have tried Lambda Probe, which is a great tool. But the "logs" tool is not powerful and does not allow to look at stdout and stderr logs.
I use Tomcat 6.

NOAA Fisheries Wins Webby Award in the Science Category
By Mobomo May 03, 2019
NOAA Fisheries (www.fisheries.noaa.gov) has won the 2019 Webby Award in the Science category!
Started in the fall of 2016, the ambitious project focused on merging all disparate Fisheries web properties under a single architecture, is jointly-led by the Office of Communications' Director Kate Naughten and Chief Information Officer Roy Varghese. With support from their teams, the new NOAA Fisheries website was designed and built from the ground up to better serve their mission as stewards of the nation's ocean resources and their habitat.
With a new design and content management platform, NOAA Fisheries was created using UI/UX tools such as card sorts, surveys, and journey mapping. Utilizing the findings, NOAA Fisheries designed and built a website that caters to all of its disparate users, including fisherman, scientists, and students.
The analyses and designs paid off. Since the launch of the new website, the customer satisfaction score has increased by 10%, from 65% to 75%, with 96% of users stating that the information they were seeking was easily found. This combined with a mobile-first website has also helped increase site traffic by 29% year-over-year, including a 67% jump in traffic during Shark Week when compared to the previous iteration of the website.
Mobomo has been thrilled to be part of an award winning team at NOAA Fisheries and look forward to solving new challenges with new innovations.

Patrick Philippe Moraz (Villars-Ste-Croix, Svájc, 1948. június 24. –) progresszív rock billentyűs, aki játszott a Yes és a Moody Blues együttesében is.

Élete

Korai karrier
A lausanne-i konzervatóriumban klasszikus zenére oktatták. Mielőtt a progresszív rock világába lépett volna, dzsesszt játszott; virtuózitása miatt lelkesen fogadta játékát a közönség.

Először szólóelőadóként turnézott, az 1960-as évek közepén híres dzsessz-zenészekkel játszott együtt. Ezt követően Jean Ristori társaságában megalapította a Mainhorse együttest (1968), a zenészek egyetlen lemezt adtak ki (a Polydor kiadón keresztül). Moraz átköltözött Angliába, és 1973-ban ismét új együttes, a Refugee tagjaként tűnt fel: a korábban a The Nice-t erősítő Lee Jacksonnal és Brian Davisonnal együtt alkották a formációt.

A Yes tagjaként

Karrierje csúcsát 1974-ben érte el, amikor a Yesben átvette Rick Wakeman helyét, majd szerepelt a Relayer című lemezen és az azt követő világkörüli koncertsorozaton. Moraz játéka a maga dzsessz-fúziós mivoltával viszonylag távol állt a Yes klasszikusabb stílusától, de ettől függetlenül a Relayer kiváló album. 1976-ban az együttes összes akkori tagja szólólemezt készített, Moraz a más zenészek által elismert Story of I című albumot jelentette meg. A felvételek alatt Brazíliába költözött, albumán fontos szerepet kapnak a helyi ritmusok, sőt, még brazil zenészek is játszanak rajta. A Story of I a világzene egyik fontos alapműve. Moraz nem sokkal később elhagyta a Yest.

A Moody Bluesban

Szólókarrierje az Out In The Sun-nal folytatódott, majd a Moody Blues tagja lett. Elsőként az Octave-turnén játszott az együttessel, később az 1981-es stúdiólemezen, a Long Distance Voyager-en is szerepet kapott (ez volt az első Moody Blues-lemez, mely nem ért el első helyet a kiadási listákon). Egészen 1991-ig maradt a birminghami eredetű formációban.

Genfben saját stúdiót alapított (menedzsere Ristori volt): az Aquarius Studios vonzotta az európai progresszív rock-előadókat, többek között John McLaughlint valamint a svájci Flame Dream-et.

Mialatt a Moody Blues tagjának mondta magát rendszeresen dolgozott más lemezeken is, a felvételeket követően pedig turnéra indult. Brazil együttesével, Chick Corea-val és egy másik egykori Yes-taggal, Bill Bruforddal is készített albumokat. Szólómunkásságának néhány újabb albuma, a Future Memories I, a Future Memories II és a Windows of Time a kritikusok tetszését is elnyerte.

Későbbi évek

1992-ben elhagyta együttesét, és beperelte őket olyan jogdíjakért, amit sajátjának érzett az ott eltöltött 10 év után. A Moody Blues tagadta, hogy ő az együttes tagja lett volna, inkább "bérelt zenésznek" nevezték. Az ügy a kaliforniai bíróságra jutott, még a Court TV-ben is mutatták. Moraz megnyerte a pert, de ki összeget kapott az általa követelt milliók helyett.

Azóta főleg szólómunkáival törődik, leginkább szólóban zongorázik. 1995-ben beutazta az Amerikai Egyesült Államokat C.H.A.T. (Coming Home to America) nevű turnéjával. Szokatlan turné volt: Moraz mindent maga foglalt le, és egy 800 dolláros díjért elment akár egy lakásba, vagy a díj fizetőjének saját klubjába is, hogy ott egy privát vagy félig privát hangversenyt tartson. Az egyetlen feltétel egy megfelelő zongora volt, illetve, hogy legyen hely, ahol játsszon. Moraz bárhol játszott a turné alatt (2-100 fős közönségnek), az egyik ilyen előadást felvették, és CD-, illetve video-formátumban is kiadták. Ebből az időszakból ismertebb szólólemezei a Windows of Time (1994), az ESP (2003), valamint elektronikus albuma, a Resonance (2000).

Jelenleg Florida déli részén él.

Fayetteville workers are picking up seven days a week as trash piles up after the storm in Cumberland County.
FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- Hurricane Matthew floodwaters continue to go down, but trash is stacking up.
Piles of debris are starting to litter neighborhoods across Cumberland County. And officials have called in huge trucks to haul out the trash.
On Sessoms Street, in the Habitat for Humanity neighborhood, the workforce behind much of the repair and recovery is volunteers.
Even children, such as 7-year-old Addie Gunter, are pitching in to help.
They're ripping out everything that is wet and soggy from the storm, which means pretty much everything.
In other neighborhoods, a fleet of city and contract trash crews began picking up what looks like an endless line of storm-debris piles that quickly fill the trucks and trailers.
It's all headed to the city landfill. Fayetteville city officials say the debris pickup will be seven days a week until it's cleaned up.
Still, there remains an urgent need for volunteers to help with the recovery efforts.
"Yesterday, we had four volunteers. Today we had four," said Tammy Laurence of Habitat for Humanity. "We are going to be here through all of it every day, however many months it takes, we are going to be here.
"We need churches. We need anyone that feels that they can come down and help us," Laurence said.

New technology picks up undetectable PSA levels
Using an extremely sensitive tool based on nanotechnology, researchers from Northwestern University, Chicago say they have detected previously undetectable levels of PSA in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy.
The team found measureable PSA levels in each postoperative patient in its study, using the nanoparticle-based bio-barcode assay. The technology is 300 times more sensitive than commercially available PSA tests, according to the researchers.
"We have defined a new zero for PSA," said senior author Chad A. Mirkin, PhD. "This level of sensitivity in detecting low concentrations of PSA will take the blinders off the medical community, especially when it comes to tracking residual disease."
"This new PSA assay may alter the management of patients who have been treated with surgery for prostate cancer," added William J. Catalona, MD, also of Northwestern, who was not involved in the study. "Because the 'nano-PSA assay' is more sensitive than the current commercially available PSA tests, it may allow physicians to target adjuvant radiation for patients destined to have a life-threatening tumor recurrence."
The study, which was published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Oct. 19, 2009), is an early indicator of how nanotechnology can be used to improve medical diagnostics and early cancer detection. Patients with detectable but non-rising PSA levels could be reassured that their cancer will not recur. In patients with increasing levels of PSA, detected before conventional tools are able, physicians could diagnose recurrence and intervene accordingly.
"The first route to a new therapeutic is a good diagnostic tool, and that's what we have here," Dr. Mirkin said. "This bio-barcode assay, or a variant of it, could be a commercial tool in as little as 18 months."
The Northwestern team is now conducting a similar retrospective study of 260 patients and eventually plans to perform a large prospective study.

Frozen pizza recalled due to lack of federal inspection
United News Team August 29, 2022
Over 150,000 pounds of pepperoni pizza products are being recalled after officials say they weren't federally inspected.
Pizza John's issued the recall for two different frozen pepperoni pizza products that are meant to be cooked at home, according to a notice posted by the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
This includes its Pizza John's Bake At Home 12-inch pepperoni pizza in 33.25-oz clear plastic packages with UPC code 9589334921 and Pizza John's Bake At Home 16-inch pepperoni pizza in 57-oz. clear plastic packages with UPC code 9589334921.
Pizza John's is not a federally inspected establishment and its products do not have the USDA mark of inspection, according to FSIS.
According to FSIS regulations, "all containers of meat, poultry, and egg products must be labeled with a USDA mark of inspection and establishment (EST number), which is assigned to the plant where the product was produced."
The affected products were distributed to retail locations across Maryland from March 2020 through July 2022.
FSIS officials eventually discovered the problem after routine surveillance activities.
To date, there have been "no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products," according to the recall notice.

Still, the agency is concerned that the product may still be in customers' freezers.
"Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them," FSIS said. "These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase."
Consumers who are worried about having a reaction are told to contact their health care provider.
Representatives for Pizza John's and FSIS did not respond to FOX Business' request for comment.

In Wells Fargo's case, a discussion often wasn't required. Wells Fargo via www.shutterstock.com
Should Wells Fargo execs responsible for bilking customers be forced to return their pay?
September 18, 2016 9.22pm EDT
Lee Reiners, Duke University
Lee Reiners
Director of Global Financial Markets Center, Duke University
Lee Reiners spent five years working at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. During that time, he supervised several large financial institutions. He did not supervise Wells Fargo.
Having spent five years supervising large financial institutions on Wall Street, I am rarely surprised by the latest news of banks behaving badly.
But even the most hardened cynics, such as myself, were taken aback by the recent announcement that Wells Fargo was being fined US$185 million for fraudulent sales practices that included opening over two million fake deposit and credit card accounts without informing its customers.
Adding to my shock was the revelation that the firm fired 5,300 employees over the course of five years for engaging in this behavior, clearly evidence that this was more than just a few bad apples.
The financial crisis and its aftermath have taught us that it is unlikely any of Wells Fargo's senior executives will face criminal charges. The reasons for this are numerous, but essentially prosecutors have a hard time identifying criminal intent within the upper ranks of bank management.
At the very least, don't Wells Fargo's customers have a reasonable expectation that executives who profited off their misfortune be required to return some of their ill-gotten gains?
The good news is that in April, U.S. regulators released a proposed rule requiring financial institutions to do just that. Unfortunately for fraud victims seeking a pound of flesh from Wells Fargo executives, the rule is not scheduled to be finalized until November, although the bank claims to be in adherence with the proposal's main provisions.
Nonetheless, I thought it would be interesting to examine the text of the proposed incentive-based compensation rule through the lens of the Wells Fargo situation to try and understand its potential implications.
Cultural failure
On the surface Wells Fargo's fraud appears to be an all-too-familiar case of cultural failure within a big financial institution. Apparently CEO John Stumpf disagrees.
In a Wall Street Journal interview shortly after the story broke, Stumpf refused to admit any institutional failure at the bank, claiming the behavior of the terminated employees "in no way reflects our culture nor reflects the great work the other vast majority of the people do."
If Stumpf thinks that over 5,000 unethical people just so happened to find their way to Wells Fargo, he may want to rethink the company's hiring practices.
Thus far the company has declined to say how many branch, regional or corporate managers were among those let go. The initial readout seems to be that most of those dismissed were low-level branch employees – hardly your typical Wall Street villains.
The spotlight has now turned to senior managers, and what they did or did not know. It is shining brightest on Carrie Tolstedt, who has run Wells Fargo's community banking division since 2008 and is set to retire at the end of the year. Tolstedt appears to have profited handsomely from the sales practices in question.
A 2015 company filing indicates that part of Tolstedt's 2014 inventive compensation award of roughly $8 million stems from:
"success in furthering the company's objectives of cross-selling products from other business lines to customers, reinforcing a strong risk culture and continuing to strengthen risk management practices in our businesses."
It now appears that cross-selling products and strengthening risk management were competing objectives.
Clawing back compensation
As noted earlier, Wells Fargo says it's already in compliance with the main provisions of the proposed rule.
Specifically, in a recent filing, the bank claims:
"Wells Fargo has strong recoupment and clawback policies in place designed so that incentive compensation awards to our named executives encourage the creation of long-term, sustainable performance, while at the same time discourage our executives from taking imprudent or excessive risks that would adversely impact the Company."
This means the bank can cancel, or claw back, any incentive-based executive compensation, such as deferred bonuses or stock options, from executives who engaged in misconduct or who received such compensation based upon materially inaccurate information, "whether or not the executive was responsible."
Thus far the company has given no indication it intends to claw back any of Tolstedt's compensation, although pressure from the public and regulators may soon change this.
The proposed rule
So let's imagine the new incentive-based compensation rule was already in place and consider how it would work.
The rule's most stringent requirements apply to "level 1" financial institutions like Wells Fargo with over $250 billion in consolidated assets. Its provisions cover all employees who receive incentive-based compensation, with enhanced requirements for individuals referred to as senior executive officers and significant risk takers.
As head of a major business line, Tolstedt would qualify as a senior executive officer, and her compensation would be subject to:
higher minimum deferral requirements – the percentage of incentive-based compensation that cannot be cashed in until the passing of a specific amount of time (meant to encourage long-term thinking);
forfeiture of "unvested" compensation (that is, compensation that has been awarded but has yet to be fully transferred to the employee); and
clawbacks for so-called vested compensation that has already been transferred to the employee.
Since Tolstedt is retiring soon, the rule's minimum deferral requirements are less relevant here. But for past performance periods, unvested compensation could be forfeited and vested pay could be clawed back.
Even if one generously assumes Tolstedt was unaware of the fraud taking place, she was still likely responsible for setting the sales goals and compensation structure that incentivized so many employees to defraud customers. Indeed the firm's own filings with the SEC seem to confirm this. Using these assumptions and applying the text of the proposed rule, it is clear that nearly all of her unvested incentive-based compensation could be forfeited, and her vested compensation could also be at risk of being clawed back.
The proposed rule identifies several types of events that would require covered firms to initiate a forfeiture review. Those most relevant in the Wells Fargo situation include:
inappropriate risk-taking, regardless of the impact on financial performance;
material failures of risk management or control; or
noncompliance with statutory, regulatory or supervisory standards that results in enforcement or legal action against the covered institution brought by a federal or state regulator or agency.
The proposal leaves it to the firm to determine the amount to be forfeited, provided it can support its decisions.
The standards that trigger a review of whether vested compensation should be clawed back are higher (though firms can loosen them). Such situations include a senior executive officer engaging in misconduct that results in significant financial or reputational harm to the institution, fraud or intentional misrepresentation of information used to determine the employee's incentive-based compensation.
Based on the facts as we currently know them, it would be difficult to prove Tolstedt met the rule's clawback criteria, since it's not known if she actually engaged in the fraud herself. If she had, all of the incentive-based compensation that had vested since the fraudulent activity began would be subject to being clawed back.
'Standard-bearer of our culture'
Assuming the rule was currently in effect, and Wells Fargo was adhering to it, how much would Tolstedt stand to lose?
This is almost impossible to determine given that she has worked at the firm for 27 years, we don't know how long the fraudulent activity went on for, publicly available information on her compensation is limited and the rule leaves it up to the firm to determine the dollar amount that is forfeited and/or clawed back.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Wells Fargo ruling indicates the "relevant period" lasted from Jan. 1, 2011, to Sept. 8, 2016. Over that time frame, Tolstedt received at least $36 million in incentive-based compensation, compared with $8.5 million in base salary.
Under the terms of the proposed rule, Wells Fargo would be able to get back at least half of the $36 million. If Tolstedt was found to have known about the fraud taking place within her division, they could likely get it all back.
When the firm announced in July that Tolstedt would be retiring at the end of the year, Stumpf referred to her as a "standard-bearer of our culture" and "a champion for our customers." At the time, the firm was winding down its five-year employee purge.
Knowing what we know now, Stumpf could have easily fired her and attempted to claw back a significant amount of her pay. Instead he chose loyalty to a long-time employee over loyalty to his customers. Next time that choice may be off the table.

DARIEN, Connecticut (WABC) -- Police are warning consumers in Connecticut about a phone scheme that targets a family member with a fake story of a kidnapping.
On Thursday, a parent of a Darien High School student was targeted in a scam that police said is happening "regularly."
According to the Darien Police Department, in the scam, a voice on the phone typically says they have kidnapped the victim's child, then demands ransom. The caller says to stay on the phone and warns the victim not to contact the police. They then tell the victim to drive directly to an ATM for money.
The caller sometimes threatens to torture the "kidnapped" family member. In the incident Thursday, crying could be heard in the background.
The victim is then directed to withdraw money and meet at a nearby store. According to Darien Police, the kidnappers don't show up, instruct the victim to wire the money instead, then hang up. The victim cannot reach anyone when they call back, and then they usually try to verify the well-being of their loved one.
In the case Thursday, police said the parent was able to confirm their child's safety while still on the phone with police dispatchers, and did not lose any money. Frequently, parents wire the money, and while they are relieved to find their loved one is safe, their money likely will never be recovered, police said.
Although law enforcement said they believe the calls originate outside the U.S. and have been going on for the past few years, the Darien Police Department has investigated each local occurrence.
Police said that anyone targeted by the scam should not provide family information over the telephone. Officials recommend trying to identify the location of the caller or the family member since the scammer might be unfamiliar with the local area. Asking specific questions also is important to determine the validity of the call, including asking the hostage to describe your family member. Notify local police as soon as possible, even when instructed not to.


My long-awaited trip to visit my best friend in Germany is upon me. The light is near, but the end of the tunnel has been filled with potholes. Just when I'm trying to get things done and get ahead a bit so I can fly off on Thursday with nothing hanging over my head, things start to unravel.
It all started last Thursday, when one of my top front teeth started to hurt a bit when I bit down. It was almost as if my teeth had realigned themselves and just weren't hitting right.
On Friday, my tooth felt better, but the area between my upper lip and my nose was beginning to hurt, as if I was getting a painful pimple: One that doesn't show, but hurts like the dickens. Or was it the beginning of a cold sore? Nope. Didn't look like a cold sore. Must be an ingrown pimple.
It sure was cold Friday evening. So cold that I curled up under my down-filled blankie. Still cold, I asked my husband to bring me another down-filled blankie. And tuck the double layer of blankies around my shoulders, please.
Wait a minute. We're not behind on the utility bills. We have central heat. It shouldn't have been that cold. Could I…? I popped the thermometer in my mouth. Yep. I was running a fever. It wasn't cold—I had the chills.
On Saturday, I still had the chills and fever. On top of that, my blood glucose wasn't going up like it was "supposed" to, it was going down. (Too much "exercise" from all the shaking?) Thank goodness I have a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that lets me know when my glucose is dropping, sounds alarms when I get below a certain number—and even lets me know if I'm about to go low.
On Sunday, my CGM crapped out. Oh, great. Just when I need it, it comes up with an alarm out of the blue and asks "Did you remove sensor?" When you do change sensors, it takes 10 hours before it begins to give you readings. If I had started it back up when it crapped out, I would have had to calibrate it in the middle of the night (no, thanks).
On Monday morning, I took a look at my gums after brushing my teeth—and called my dentist.
"I think I have an abscess," I said. Sho nuff. Right there where that top front tooth had bothered me. I got a peroxide flush-out, a prescription for antibiotics, orders to get it filled "right now and take your first one immediately," and an appointment to start a root canal on Wednesday morning. Oh, joy. That would be the day before I fly off to visit with my best friend for the first time in two years.
On top of that, antibiotics frequently lead to a yeast infection, so I now need to ask my doctor for prescriptions for drugs to take care of that in case it crops up while I'm overseas.
To further complicate matters, my husband is taking me to Indianapolis on Wednesday for a birthday dinner out and a night at a hotel, so I would have to make the decision a day early. That would be Wednesday—the day of my root canal.
Can I chance finding something at the airport on Wednesday morning? Will the food places have lunch/dinner items out at 9 AM?
Oh! Did I tell you the Indianapolis airport (the one where my trip originates) is opening its new terminal on Wednesday? The day before I fly out?
I'll give 'em one day to get all the bugs worked out. In the meantime, I'm thinking about taking something bigger than my backpack on board with me, to include a change of clothes and a nightshirt in case my checked luggage gets rerouted. Again.
At least it will be a low-key vacation. My friend has been in charge of a major fundraiser (Monday was the last day) and is exhausted. She says all she wants is "just a friend to sit with and laugh…and nap." I think I can handle that.
