FARMINGTON, N.M. -- A student pilot practicing takeoffs and landings in a small plane crashed through the roof of a police station, forcing the evacuation of 10 inmates.
The pilot, a student with Mesa Airlines' pilot development program, suffered head and facial injuries but was conscious when he was taken to a hospital Thursday night, said Fire Marshal Herb Veazey. No one inside the building was injured.
The pilot appeared to be preparing to land on a runway about 400 yards from the Farmington Police Department, Police Lt. Doug Kennedy said.
"I was pulling into the parking lot when I saw the plane veer straight up and come into the north end of the building," Sgt. Darin Hardy said.
The plane crashed into an area of the station that houses detectives. Two detectives were able to leave the building without injury. Ten adult inmates in nearby holding cells were transferred to a county jail.
The crash happened around 7:15 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza apparently lost power before the crash.


Nowadays' companies and businesses are exploring means and ways by which they'll have the ability to provide the very best form of marketing. Most of the methods have become too conventional that they have gone out of vogue. Really among the innovative ways that are currently used on the internet is neighborhood search engine marketing.


How do I get a student ID?
Getting your Moraine Valley ID is simple — just present two forms of identification, have your picture taken, and you'll get your ID in a few minutes.
Picture ID with name, such as a driver's license, state ID, or high school ID. Passport allowed for international students without a driver's license.

EUR 17 Million Refurbishment Unveiled For Budapest Mall Allee
Budapest Business Journal
Asset and property management company Multi Hungary announced extensive refurbishment plans of Buda's Allee shopping center, with most of the work expected to be completed in 2020.
Multi says that it will upgrade and renovate the 46,700 sqm shopping mall while enhancing the tenant mix, interior and exterior design and customer services. The execution phase will commence in Q2 2020.
Allee offers more than 140 shops, a 13-screen multiplex cinema, restaurants, offices, a fitness club and parking for 1,200 cars. The complex attracts more than 18 million visitors each year. Multi says that the goal of the refurbishment is to secure Allee's leading position in the increasingly competitive Budapest market.
The refurbishment plan is part of Multi's business strategy of repositioning the center. Over the course of last year, the company brought a variety of new brands to Allee, such as Reserved, Lindt, CK Jeans, Sloggi, Inglot, and Tissot.
The refurbishment concept was designed by Multi's in-house architect group TT Design, while the construction plans will be prepared by local designer company Finta Studio. The new design will aim at modernizing Allee, as well as create a relaxing, feel-good space for its visitors. The project will cost approximately EUR 17 million, the press release says.
One of the key elements of the project is the renovation of the food court, bringing about a new look and offering a modern environment for its customers, Multi says. High-quality seating areas and additional services are also planned to support activities at the center, according to the plans.
The exterior of Allee, which opened approximately 10 years ago, will also be upgraded. Other parts of the project include the creation of space for cafés, restaurants, terraces, and kiosks. The playground, which serves as a community resource, will also be renewed.
Multi took over the asset and property management of Allee in January 2018 after winning an international tender.
"The renovation plans reflect Multi's multidisciplinary project approach," Rüdiger Dany, chief operations officer of Multi Corporation, says. "By offering a complete package of services, including architectural design, redevelopment, leasing and center management, Multi demonstrates that it is one of the most complete full-service retail asset managers in Europe.
"Continued critical analysis, reinterpretation and renewal of the retail assets guarantee value creation for the future. This way, we ensure that Allee remains a shopping center where retailers can thrive and visitors want to come back to," he adds.

Thunderbirds announce two roster moves ahead of the weekend
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.- The Carolina Thunderbirds, proud members of the Federal Prospects Hockey League and 2019 Commissioner's Cup champions, are excited to announce a couple of roster moves for this weekend's three-game set.
Carolina has signed forward Vincent D'Andrea to play on Thanksgiving night vs. Battle Creek.
"Vinny is a local kid who has played for us before and we're excited to have a hometown guy on the team this weekend," said head coach Andre Niec.
D'Andrea played two games for the Thunderbirds in the 2017-2018 inaugural season and notch a goal and an assist. He suited up for Mentor last season for a single game, but did not score.
On Saturday night, the Thunderbirds announced that former NHL-er Steve MacIntyre will return to the roster.
MacIntyre has played in 14 Thunderbirds games in his career thus far, scoring two goals and logging five assists, all of those coming during the 2017-2018 season.
In the second period of last Saturday's game vs. Columbus, MacIntyre dropped Nick Wright with a hard left-hook that sent Carolina fans into a frenzy.
"He got to experience what it was like to take on a real tough guy," said Niec of Wright after Saturday's game, "he lost the battle. [MacIntyre] is here to play hockey, we don't put him in to fight, we put him in to play shifts and play hockey."
MacIntyre played 91 games in five seasons in the NHL, splitting time between Edmonton, Florida and Pittsburgh respectively.
The Thunderbirds will play their first three-game set of the season vs. Battle Creek between Thursday and Saturday. Tickets are still available in limited quantities for all three games, but they are flying away fast.
Carolina will have specialty themed promotions for Thanksgiving and Black Friday on Thursday and Friday respectively. On Saturday, the Thunderbirds will honor and remember those who have served in the United States armed forces as Pierce-Jefferson Funeral Services presents Veterans Night.

W. Alex discusses EMS property lease
By Jeremy Erskine - [email protected]
WEST ALEXANDRIA — During a meeting on Monday, Feb. 15, West Alexandria Village Council took steps toward terminating a lease for the current EMS building in order to give the property more flexibility.
The building was deeded to the village in June 1991 with a 30 year provision which required the grantee to only use the real estate for the following: providing emergency medical services for the care of the community, housing ambulances and related equipment, providing staff and office space needed for emergency medical services, and any fund raising activities for the EMS department.
The building is prohibited to be used for fire protection services for the community, police protection services for the community, street services, board of public affair services, town offices or other governmental functions, and storage or housing of village vehicles other than those providing emergency medical services.
This provision is set to expire on June 5, 2021.
"This lease should automatically renew unless either party advises the other in writing via certified U.S. mail at least six months prior to the expiration of the lease," said Village Solicitor Richard Faber.
The termination of the lease doesn't mean the village cannot continue to use the area for EMS, but instead allows West Alexandria to use the building as they feel necessary, giving it more flexibility, said Faber.
Council voted in favor of drafting a letter to terminate the lease. It will not take effect until it expires in 2021, however.
They also had the first reading of an ordinance which will set a limitation on departmental spending at $2,500.
"This ordinance was prepared partly as a result of the generator situation and other things," said Faber.
Several members addressed the board during the meeting as well, with school board member Sean Maggard and newly hired Superintendent Bob Fischer there to speak briefly about the school's Permanent Improvement Levy which will be on the ballot in March.
The current bond and maintenance levy is dropping off at the end of the year, and the school is hoping it will be replaced by the P.I. levy that will cost approximately $70 per $100,000 home. The bond and maintenance levy currently costs taxpayers $98 per $100,000 home.
The new levy will bring in money to help fund repairs to the roof and other structures which need updated around the campus. The school plans on holding a walk-through for residents on March 1 and 8 at 6:30 p.m. to show several areas which are in need of updating.
Also addressing the board was Amanda Tharp, whose husband Marty Tharp had his job cut from full-time (including benefits) to part-time.
Tharp said current Fire Chief Jeff Shafer has proposed raises for himself and the Assistant Chief while also creating a position for Shafer's son. These allegations have not been confirmed by village officials.
"I don't understand how they're saving money by cutting his position when they are spending it and throwing it out the window," she said. "I don't think it's fair that my husband's position be cut and all these other things are going on. I think your eyes need to be opened to it. There are several staff members that will support my husband that knows what goes on behind those walls."
Council did go into executive session with Marty Tharp and Shafer. No action was taken in the session, according to council upon their return to open session, but officials did make a motion to prepare an ordinance for amending a position of "full time general service employee," eliminating the position for "economic reasons."
There will be a special council meeting on Monday, Feb. 29, at 6 p.m., to be held at the West Alexandria Water Treatment Plant.

I'm officially crappy with email.
And it's not that I don't care or I can't be bothered when people contact me. I just seem not compatible with the medium itself.
Being a pro blogger and working with WordPress, this doesn't make my life easy, and especially when dealing with new prospective clients who might be put off by my struggles.
But hold on … why am I telling you this?
Well, the thing I'm leading up to is the holy-grail of professional productivity – some people would want you to believe – which is the topic of business automation.
Automation – as in having some parts of your business put on autopilot, so you don't have to spend time taking care of them by hand. For example, the main problem for me, as I said, was email. Email was something I needed to have taken care of, and just … get done as painlessly as possible. But there are more problems like this. Problems that countless freelancers struggle with every day, maybe without even knowing it.
In itself, automation is probably something you should start thinking about right now … even if you're relatively new to the WordPress freelance world. And if you've been in this business for a while now, how on earth have you managed to get by without automation?!
(a) Eliminate. Figure out whether a given task/action/element really needs to be done. Maybe you can just eliminate that thing altogether? If so, do it.
(b) Simplify. Figure out whether the thing isn't perhaps needlessly complicated – much like this expression. In other words, whatever you want to automate, it needs to be simple first!
(c) Automate. The main task. Please notice that this comes third – meaning that you can only automate something that has proven to be important (wasn't eliminated), and that is already simple enough.
So in that light, being methodical, or Method X is all about automating only the things that matter enough so that they can't be eliminated altogether.
Essentially, being methodical prevents you from going willy-nilly and looking for another thing to automate "just because." Instead you can focus on improving your current processes.
As Jeff Haden says in his Inc.com column, "To remain competitive you need to automate–or someone else will automate you out of business." And I couldn't agree more.
This might all sound kind of preachy, I understand, but I really want to emphasize this Method X part, so all I ask you is to keep it in mind as we proceed through the other points on the list.
Automation is hard to do if you don't document each repeatable thing that's part of your daily agenda.
Frankly, if you don't know the exact steps that lead to executing a certain task, how can you automate them?
This is why the #1 habit on your way to automation should be taking note of your processes, and then reviewing those processes every time you go through them to execute that given task.
Next, once you already have (what you think is) the final version of the process, only then begin to automate it.
Start building your library of processes today – the processes that are essential to your way of doing your business. That library will soon become an invaluable asset.
Automate what's the easiest to automate first.
Just to give you an example, as well as my first tool recommendation of the day, as I said, most of my problems have revolved around email. One of those problems is never following up with people on time. The thing I used to do is mark an email with a star, and then come back to it ASAP (read: never).
With it, you can mark certain emails to come back to your inbox later, based on some triggers. For instance, you can set an email to come back if you don't get a response within X days. Essentially, if you set things right, you can have Boomerang automating your "follow up with that person" prompts.
This is an example of an easy win. You no longer have to mark these things in your calendar. Boomerang will remind you at the right time.
Although not immediately apparent, Grasshopper is a cool service that can be quite handy for automation, but it's all in the details of how you set it up.
Just so that we're on the same page, Grasshopper is a virtual phone system. In other words, you can set up working phone numbers with it (1-800 toll free numbers or local numbers), and then have those numbers redirect to other places based on your needs.
In the simplest setup, you can just have that toll free number redirect to your personal cell, just for privacy reasons (that way you don't have to display your real number on the website).
But there's actually a lot more waiting inside Grasshopper. Two of the most important features for us are extensions and custom greetings.
First off, some people will still prefer to actually pick a phone and call you, rather than communicate through email. And if there's no number listed on your site, they will just ignore you as a potential contractor altogether.
By using Grasshopper, you can not only enable them to reach you, but also welcome them with a custom message, and let them select a specific extension that relates to their inquiry.
For instance, you can have the x1 extension set to be about "sales," then x2 to "support," and so on. Then, each of them can lead the client to a pre-recorded message getting them more familiar with your offer. That client is probably more likely to listen to your actual voice, even if recorded, than to read copy on your site.
At the end of it, the call goes to voicemail, and then you can get the recording of the call + a transcript delivered to you.
For example, if one day a major bug is discovered somewhere, and your clients start suffering from it, obviously they will be calling you for a solution. You can record a message telling them what to do, and set it as the main greeting. That way, you don't have to repeat yourself each time.
Going on vacation? Record a new greeting and let people know when you're coming back.
Also, if you're on vacation, but still want your most important clients to be able to reach you, set a "secret" extension on your toll free numbers. Don't announce it in the greetings, but just tell your clients what number they need to press to get through to you immediately. Set that extension to connect with your cell directly.
Forced to disconnect for a while completely? Redirect all calls to a partner or co-worker, or just straight to voicemail with a custom greeting letting people know what's up.
Grasshopper lets you do all that. Your imagination is probably the only limit here. Some more examples.
In a sense, this type of automation is to eliminate some of the repeatable interactions from your agenda, and let them be taken care of by a virtual phone system.
"Lead capture" sounds like a dirty word.
Moreover, the phrase also delivers us from the fact that it's real people that we're dealing with, not just some abstract "leads." Unfortunately, though, there's hardly any better way to call it, so let's just leave it at that.
Lead capture is key to every business, WordPress-related and otherwise.
if you're already established, how can you prevent missing out on leads that are of higher quality?
Here's what I mean with the latter. Mainly, when you're working for one client, you're likely occupied enough that you don't pay 100% attention to new leads coming in. After all, you're busy. This is another problem of mine with email … leads come in, I don't act. I'm sure you can relate to some extent.
So, the main thing you should do is to make sure that every lead that comes in is properly serviced, and that if they are right for you, you will not miss them. Relying on your ability to handle everything by hand is a short path to failure, I'm afraid.
The classic way of letting people reach you is to just put a contact form on your site. Simple.
What seems to work much better now is to use an optin form instead of a standard contact form.
First, sign up with SendinBlue – it's what we use for everything at CodeinWP/ThemeIsle (we love it). It's affordable (especially compared with MailChimp) and offers neat features, particularly in the automation department.
Next, create a new form and put it on your contact page. On the outside, that form looks normal. There's a place for someone's name and email. But what comes next is the unique part.
Go to SendinBlue's automation section and create a short sequence of messages guiding the person through your offer and the process of working with you. Tell them to visit certain pages on your blog, maybe survey them via Typeform (it's the tool we used for our extensive hosting survey), etc. Ask them about their needs, budgets, and so on. Basically, whatever fits your business.
I leave the details of this up to you, but you get the idea.
At the end of it all, you have a lead that is 100% ready for you to pick up and handle in person. And most importantly, some people will abandon the process mid-way – those are your non-ideal clients, and you'd still have to take care of them if it wasn't for the lead gen system.
To some extent, this path is similar to what we discussed with Grasshopper toll free numbers, but it's done via email vs over the phone.
An alternative method is to use a CRM system to handle the process.
The CRM path might be a better solution if the beginning stages of your selling process are more complex, and need your personal input quicker (compared to the optin form path).
All popular CRMs out there have great email integration and various ways of handling new leads. I guess it's all up to your personal preference, as there's no one CRM to rule them all. Though, check out Nutshell CRM, Insightly CRM, or Highrise CRM.
I guess it's high time we talk WordPress specifically.
With most WordPress projects, you start by working on a local version of the site, and then migrate it to the final server. If you already have an effective system setup for this, then feel free to ignore what I'm about to say, but if you don't – then the Duplicator plugin is likely to help you.
This is a plugin that the CodeinWP team has been using for a long time to move sites around, and to speed up our launch processes considerably.
In the end, why would you do all this by hand? With an automation plugin like Duplicator, you're making things not only faster, but also not as prone to human error.
Another thing you might have to do every once in a while when working on WordPress development is to restore the whole installation to its default settings. This might happen if you did something really shady and the whole thing collapsed.
Of course you can do this by hand, but going the plugin route will be quicker. Here's a detailed guide.
If you're working on a WordPress project that involves tuning up the theme, you will probably use child themes. Although that's a way better approach than just tinkering with the parent theme, in some cases you can be a bit more creative and automate some of the process.
For instance, if you're using a framework theme for most of your projects, then you probably have your favorite set of theme settings – the ones that you roll out every time. But implementing them by hand isn't very efficient.
An alternative is to take all those settings and turn them into a custom config plugin. That way, you can just activate the plugin and have your settings integrated with a new site with one click.
There's a cool guide on WPMUDEV all about that.
Whether it's yours or your client's site, social media is going to be an important element for the overall success of the whole thing.
So to make the ongoing management easier for whoever's running the site, why not just get a plugin that will share the content from the blog automatically?
It just so happens, quite mysteriously (cough!) that our own Revive Old Post works great for that. Just like the name suggests, the plugin takes a peek into the site's archives, and shares one of the posts to your social media profiles on autopilot (works with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).
Backups are simply something that you don't want to have to worry about. You just want them to be taken care of.
Here's an extensive comparison of ours, looking into the most popular backup solutions for WordPress (spoiler alert; our winner is BlogVault).
You can set most backup plugins to work on complete autopilot … like it should be.
Last but not least, we have Zapier – arguably the best way to connect two apps with each other and automate what happens as a result.
And in Zapier's world, an "app" is a very broad term.
In case you don't know, Zapier is quite similar to IFTTT, but a bit more advanced (and reliable, in my experience). In short, you get to select an input app, a trigger, an output app, and an action that should be conducted on that output app.
One of the many apps supported in Zapier is GitHub. What you can do, for example, is take new issues from GitHub, and create cards in Trello for each one.
That way, you no longer have to go to GitHub to see what's going on. But that's just the tip of the iceberg … Zapier supports more than 700 apps.
Use it to automate your follow-up emails. Send them just at the right moment and find out when people read them. Set up toll free numbers, and use Grasshopper's virtual phone system to automate all phone activity in your business, and also get more clients at the same time. Use it to replace contact forms with optin forms – thus automating parts of your lead capture. Automate site migration, database resets, theme settings, social media sharing, backups. Connect any two apps and automate the workflow between them.
Do you think that things like optin forms (with SendinBlue or otherwise), toll free numbers with Grasshopper, or putting parts of your development on autopilot are a good way to automate your work in the WordPress space? Feel free to share.


On 27 April 2005, the Hongkong born Danish Princess, Her Highness Alexandra, visited Grundfos' factory in Souzhou near Shanghai.
The Princess was welcomed by Vice President for Corporate Communication Sune Salling-Mortensen, as well as Works Manager Jens K. Siersbaek and General Manager Ken Tan from the Suzhou factory.
"It is a nice factory, and it is good that a lot of pumps are sold in Asia", said Princess Alexandra who was very attentive and interested in how the pumps are produced.
During the conducted tour of the factory Ken Tan explained to the Princess how the production works, and the Princess also got the opportunity to talk to a female employee.


Content from "openstack.org", listed here with minor/no changes – just noting down what I did – online notes.
Wanted to get rid of all partition info in /dev/sdb so that I can use it for block storage.
Only instances can access Block Storage volumes. However, the underlying operating system manages the devices associated with the volumes. By default, the LVM volume scanning tool scans the /dev directory for block storage devices that contain volumes. If projects use LVM on their volumes, the scanning tool detects these volumes and attempts to cache them which can cause a variety of problems with both the underlying operating system and project volumes. Reconfigure LVM to scan only the devices that contain the cinder-volumes volume group. Edit /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and in the devices section un-comment the filter configuration and amend it to allow /dev/sdb to be scanned and not others.
Passionate about sharing information on "how to".

Christone "Kingfish" Ingram Kingfish
Christone "Kingfish" Ingram
Christone "Kingfish" Ingram grew up near Clarksdale, Mississippi. Born into a musical family, his mother Princess Pride is first cousin to country music's Charley Pride, and he started playing drums at the age of six. At nine years old he switched to bass. His mother enrolled him in a musical program at the Delta Blues Museum before he picked up his first guitar at age eleven. Living close to the legendary crossroads of Highways 61 and 49 he began listening to Robert Johnson. The young Kingfish, aware of the music that emanated from the area, began to soak it up like a sponge absorbing Lightnin' Hopkins, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix and even Prince. He says "I do think I have an old soul, that I've been here before, I'm moving forward with one foot in the past."
The documentary "Sidemen: Long Road To Glory" about Hubert Sumlin, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, and Pinetop Perkins ends by showing us young players inspired by these sidemen. Kingfish is on screen at one of the Pinetop Perkins Homecoming picnics, the annual memorial celebration for Perkins held nearby at the Hopson Plantation. It marked the passing of the torch to a new younger generation. Kingfish practiced all the time and has since shared the stage with Buddy Guy, The Tedeschi Trucks Band, Guitar Shorty, Eric Gales and others.
This is Kingfish's debut album produced by the Grammy Award winning producer and drummer Tom Hambridge. Kingfish states "I never thought this would happen. I've been waiting to release my first record for such a long time. To have it come out on Alligator is a really great thing." Alligator Records' Bruce Iglauer states "At the age of 20, Kingfish is one of the most exciting and passionate artists I've seen in many years. He's creating new music that feels like blues but doesn't copy what's already been done…his guitar work is technically dazzling, but it's all about the emotions of the song and moving the audience…his music is remarkably mature…he knows which are the important notes, the notes that tell the story and grab the audience, and leaves out the extraneous ones…he venerates the blues masters of the past and present but is eagerly making his own statement". Besides Kingfish, guitar and vocals; and Hambridge, drums; the band also includes Tommy MacDonald, bass; and Marty Sammon, keyboards.
Eight of the album's twelve tracks were co-written by Kingfish. "Been Here Before" and "Before I'm Old" are autobiographical songs; the latter including additional guitarists Rob McNelley and Keb' Mo, who are featured again on "If You Love Me" with Billy Branch added on harp. "Outside Of This Town", "Love Ain't My Favorite Word", "It Ain't Right", and "Fresh Out" a duet with Buddy Guy, are also strong performances. All seven of these songs are receiving airplay. "Listen" is a guitar and vocal duet with Keb' Mo that should be the next song being played.
This is an auspicious debut. It has been the most played blues album since a week before its release date. Kingfish closes by adding "my core is blues, but it's important for me to create a sound and style that is uniquely my own, I have a lot to say, so please stay tuned."

Q: Load a pandas table to dynamoDb I am trying to load a big Pandas table  to dynamoDB.
I have tried the for loop method as follow
for k in range(1000):
    trans = {}
    trans['Director'] = DL_dt['director_name'][k]
    trans['Language'] = DL_dt['original_language'][k]
    print("add :", DL_dt['director_name'][k] , DL_dt['original_language'][k])
    table.put_item(Item=trans)

it works but it's very time consuming.
Is there a faster way to load it ? (equivalent of to_sql for sql database)
I've found the batchwriteitem function but i am not sure it works and i don't know exactly how to use it.
Thanks a lot.

A: You can iterate over the dataframe rows, transform each row to json and then convert it to a dict using json.loads, this will also avoid the numpy data type errors.
you can try this:
import json
from decimal import Decimal
DL_dt = DL_dt.rename(columns={
    'director_name': 'Director',
    'original_language': 'Language'
})
with table.batch_writer() as batch:
    for index, row in DL_dt.iterrows():
        batch.put_item(json.loads(row.to_json(), parse_float=Decimal))

A: I did this using aws wrangler. It was a fairly simple process, the only tricky bit was handling pandas floats, so I converted them to decimals before loading the data in.
import awswrangler as wr

def float_to_decimal(num):
    return Decimal(str(num))

def pandas_to_dynamodb(df):
    df = df.fillna(0)
    # convert any floats to decimals
    for i in df.columns:
        datatype = df[i].dtype
        if datatype == 'float64':
            df[i] = df[i].apply(float_to_decimal)
    # write to dynamodb
    wr.dynamodb.put_df(df=df, table_name='table-name')

pandas_to_dynamodb(df)

A: Batch writer docs here.
Try this:
with table.batch_writer() as batch:
    for k in range(1000):
        trans = {}
        trans['Director'] = DL_dt['director_name'][k]
        trans['Language'] = DL_dt['original_language'][k]
        print("add :", DL_dt['director_name'][k] , DL_dt['original_language'][k])
        batch.put_item(trans))

As we explained in a previous post when you had a chance to meet Kelly from Twylah on #XWeek – #XWeek is organised by Xeeme to allow us to meet, ask questions and talk with innovative technology leaders to find out more about the tools we might need enhance our online experience.
A QR code is a matrix bar code (or two-dimensional code) called a Quick Response code that is scanned via mobile phone applications such as Codee which will then connect you directly to a website, a link, text, emails, phone numbers and more. They are placed in various places such as in emails, products or websites and are mostly used for marketing and advertising of products, brands or services anywhere to get noticed. They can be great fun and have some great designs, Kimberly actually has one on her body – find out more about that in the chat.
QR code scanning increased by 1600% in 2010. The numbers for 4Q2011 appear to be double that.
85% of people who scanned a QR code would encourage their friends to do the same.
QR codes can be made for free – by you! Use Qwikr QR code generator and give it a whirl. They are easy to create and there is almost no investment involved!
Here is one of our QR codes that we created for free in seconds.
And a pretty lilac one that Kim created as a gift for my Facebook page in colour when she first started.
And there's more…….. you can also create your own account on Qwikr.me where you can add your friends and add your favourite networks.

I know who Kim is, I also know who Michelle is, and I love them both!


"... [T]he latest form of animal activism is ... only eating ethical, sustainable meat ... Sustainable meat-eating is particularly suitable for those who return to omnivorism because of health problems".
There's tremendous controversy about what type of diet is best – and whether or not meat is an essential part of anyone's diet. Many promote vegetarianism for everyone, but this one-size-fits-all diet advice will do some people far more harm than good.
Personally, I would never argue with someone refusing to eat a particular food based on their spiritual convictions. It's your right to choose what you want to eat. However, I strongly believe there are health consequences for opting to avoid all animal protein. There's strong clinical evidence indicating that few people can maintain optimal health on such a diet.
To me, a major anecdotal clue is the observations of people who actually seek to implement this practice. If it were what their body needed and they were thriving why would, 75 percent of vegetarians revert back to eating meat—oftentimes due to declining health? This does not mean that many who follow a vegetarian diet aren't healthy and thriving, but it certainly is a major indication that many find problems with it.
While I've previously discussed my own experience with vegetarianism, I'm not the only one who has experienced a decline in health as a result of shunning all animal protein. As mentioned above, many vegetarians who revert back to eating animal protein do so because they start having health problems. This isn't all that surprising, considering the fact that protein is one of the basic building blocks your body needs to build, maintain, and repair your body tissues.
That said, I am not saying that everyone needs red meat, fish or poultry to stay healthy either... Other sources of high quality protein include raw organic dairy and eggs, which would not violate any ethical concerns about sacrificing animals for meats.
Everyone needs fats, carbohydrates, and protein in order to thrive. However, the ratios of each of these will vary from person to person. For example, some thrive on very large amounts of vegetables and very little animal protein, while others need more protein and less vegetable carbs. The people who fare the worst on a vegetarian diet are those who require higher amounts of protein, as they're depriving their bodies of essential fuel.
The movement toward "ethical and sustainable meat eating" is in large part fueled by former vegetarians, who have realized there's a better way to promote humanitarian treatment of farm animals than total abstinence. After all, if you avoid meat because you object to factory farming conditions, you're not really helping to change the system at all. Your decision has very little impact... But by supporting small farms that raise their animals in a humane fashion, you're promoting the proliferation of such farms, which in the end will benefit everyone, including all the animals.
I've previously written about the atrocities that take place in some U.S. CAFO's (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations), where animals are raised in filthy, crowded conditions, and I think we can all agree that such animal abuse is inexcusable, even if they're "only" being raised for food. But that's not the only reason why I recommend avoiding these types of meat. Most CAFO's pump the animals full of hormones and drugs, and feed them unnatural diets consisting of pesticide-laden and oftentimes genetically modified (GM) grains.
In fact, the differences between CAFO beef and organic grass-fed beef are so vast; you're really talking about two different animals, and two separate industries with entirely different farming practices and environmental impact. The latter also tends to favor far more humane butchering practices, which is also a very important part of "ethical meat."
Grass-based feeding is a very efficient and ecologically sustainable method of farming. Instead of producing tons of grain for feed -- which requires extensive land, fertilizer, pest management, and large equipment for cultivating, harvesting, drying, storage and feeding -- pasture-based farming lets the cows do the work. They harvest, fertilize, and feed themselves, overseen by the farmer in a carefully managed system. The net result is significantly less fuel consumption, less erosion, less air and water pollution and greater soil fertility. The animals also get to live a natural life outdoors, grazing off the land as they were intended to.
Most grass-fed cattle are fed on grasslands with limited pesticides, fertilizers, and other harmful chemicals, and the animals will never see the inside of a feedlot. Hence it's often comparable to organic even if it's not marked as such.
Most organic beef is still fed organic corn, which is what causes the myriad of health problems associated with eating CAFO-raised beef. Grain diets create a much higher level of acidity in the animal's stomach, in which E.coli bacteria can thrive.
The term "grass-finished" means the animals were grass-fed throughout their life. Some producers feed their herds grass only in the beginning, and then finish them off on grains.
This sounds all good and well. However, there are few loopholes. Most importantly, these standards are voluntary, so in order for you to confirm that this standard is actually being met, and the animals were indeed grass-fed until the end, the meat must also carry the "USDA Process Verified" label in addition to the "grass-fed" label.
Additionally, as pointed out by the American Grassfed Association, the definition of "growing season" means that animals could be confined indoors for long periods, and can be kept off of pasture even when there is grass growing. The rules also do not restrict the use of antibiotics and hormones in the animals.
Another issue frequently overlooked is that of cost to the farmer. USDA certification is costly, which prevents many small farmers—who are often raising food in traditional, healthy ways anyway—from legally calling their products "USDA grass-fed," because they can't afford to pay for the certification. However, if you go to your local farm and talk to the farmer, you can determine whether or not they fulfill the criteria of ethical and sustainable grass-fed and finished meat production for yourself. By going straight to the source, you're likely getting the absolute best meat there is, USDA-certified or not.
If you're currently a vegetarian, and your diet allows you to function at the highest level of energy and fitness and you rarely feel hungry or crave sweets, then you're likely on the right track. These are signs that you are eating foods that are appropriate for you.
If you happen to live in an area that doesn't have at least one local farm, look for a farmer's market or community-supported agriculture program in your area. LocalHarvest.org is a good source. Simply enter your zip code to find nearby farmers' markets, family farms, and other sources of sustainably grown food.
Switching from supermarket to local farmer allows you to get superior food from a safer, more humane source, while supporting your community and the environment at the same time—it's truly a win-win-win-win proposition, and what could be better than that?

The Regency is a compact yet powerful dual-function pedal that delivers the ideal combination of boost, drive and grit for any guitar and amplifier combination. Its two channels can be used on their own or in combination to add punch, harmonics and sustain without sacrificing articulation. Its class-A boost circuit provides up to +23dB of clean gain and simultaneously activates its built-in effects loop to bring in effects for soloing. Its overdrive circuit is thick and rich with just the right amount of gain to transform any amp into a soul-crushing tone machine fit for a king.
The Regency lets you pre-emphasize the front end of your amp to add sustain and harmonics by adding slight overdrive and extra punch to your signal, without muddying up the notes.
Use the Booster to hit the front end of your smaller amp harder to cause it to break up and deliver natural amp distortion. Combine the Pre-Drive with the Boost for over-the-top sustain.
Connect your delay to the effects loop. When you hit the booster for a solo, the effects loop will automatically activate to engage your effects pedal with a single foot-stomp.
"Quite often on high gain pedals they start to lose bottom end definition, or the highs get lost, but I'm happy to report that the Regency had no such problems. Even when cranked it still delivers a harmonically rich tone where you are able to hear each string, it cuts through well and delivers authentic Rock/Metal tones."
"The Regency's Pre-Drive controls made it easy to dial in grittier and more saturated tones that still retained the sound of the amps, but produced additional impact, thud and articulation... The amps came alive with blistering, soaring and brutally sustaining tones for soloing. If you love playing with outrageous levels of drive, the Regency could be your tone monarch."
"It comes as no surprise at all to me that Radial have produced yet another pedal that does exactly what they claim, and does so with a lot of style and finesse. They pay great attention both to their circuitry and their metal enclosures: like their other pedals, this one delivers quality sound and is built to last."

UNITED STATES BOLSTERS SOMALIA COVID-19 RESPONSE WITH DONATION OF 350 HOSPITAL BEDS
By admin on April 21, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )
The United States Embassy Mogadishu, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), will donate 350 hospital beds and 500 bedsheets to support the Somali Government in preventing and controlling the spread of COVID-19. The Ministry of Health was present at a handover ceremony in De Martino Hospital where medical staff graciously received the beds.
These beds and accessories will be used in the ICU units of De Martino hospital and in isolation centers in Mogadishu and be distributed to newly established isolation centers in the regions helping medical personnel to provide life-saving care to their patients.
"The United States is proud to assist the Somali Government during this critical time," said the U.S. Ambassador to Somalia Donald Y. Yamamoto. "Well equipped isolation centers where patients are well cared for and are safely and comfortably separated, will help limit the spread of COVID-19 throughout the country."
"This generous investment makes it possible to save lives, and better prepares us to control the infectious nature of COVID-19," said Minister of Health Fawziya Abikar Nur. "To beat this outbreak, everyone needs to continue to peacefully follow health guidelines, observe social distancing, and maintain good hygiene practices."
The U.S. Government is leading the world's humanitarian and health assistance response to the COVID-19 pandemic even while we battle the virus at home.
When an outbreak strikes, it threatens to undermine a nation's progress towards self-reliance and stability. USAID's global public health investments ensure continuity of development goals while providing countries with critical assistance to combat COVID-19.

Home Pop Culture Best Pakistani Drama Serials of 2019 – 2020
Best Pakistani Drama Serials of 2019 – 2020
Miysha Usman
The previously cringe-worthy industry of Pakistani drama has undergone a huge revolution. Like, seriously! Earlier, the vast majority of dramas were simply not worth watching.
Today, dramas focus on real-life situations and display content which is truly riveting! Directors are increasingly utilizing the medium of dramas, highlighting issues that truly deserve attention. For example, topics such as rape and psychological issues.
Equally exciting is the number of new faces that are making their mark on the industry in a very short time.
Nonetheless, this isn't always the case. There are still plenty of dramas that are still revolving around the typical saas-bahu feuds. The list I've compiled so far mainly focuses on issues other than this! While you are at it, you may also want to check out our list of best dramas from 2019 or from the year prior.
If you have the time to binge watch Pakistani dramas, these are the ones you should consider!
Yeh Dil Mera
The drama 'Yeh Dil Mera' stars a spectacular cast which is enough to draw in a massive audience. The likes of Adnan Siddiqui, Ahad Raza Mir and Sajal Ali play the lead roles in this uber successful drama.
The main storyline revolves around the chemistry between opposites, bringing to life the cliché of opposites attract! Furthermore, Farhat Ishtiaq has written a truly mesmerizing script. Aehsun Talish's direction too has received accolades by a majority of critics. The drama has all the trappings including murder, intrigue, a convoluted love story, shock, and betrayal. All in all, it is definitely a drama worth seeing.
Kashf
Recent dramas, as I have mentioned earlier too, have begun to see the wisdom in using the power of media on shedding light on important issues. Similarly, Kashf is a wonderful attempt by the director Danish Nawaz, to shed some light on a rare sleep disorder.
The subject of the drama is dream anxiety disorder or nightmare disorder. Hira Mani has played out the leading character's fear and anxiety perfectly.
One can almost imagine the intense struggle of the character, Kashf Binte Imtiaz Ahmed, who is plagued by nightmares as they come true in reality.
Her struggles also considerably shape her personal and social life. The drama serial helps us see the world through the lens of someone who is going through a mental disorder, an aspect which is sorely needed.
Ruswai
In a country rampant with rape cases, and in which harassment is a routine feature, Ruswai is an extremely relatable drama. The drama portrays the reality of what rape survivors go through. The drama accurately portrays the abandonment by the closest loved ones and the unbearable anguish it causes.
Furthermore, the drama explores an extremely important social issue: the treatment of a rape survivor by the spouse and the lack of awareness about therapy. Moreover, a woman not hiding her rape case, rather fighting for justice simply takes the cake.
Additionally, the acting is truly commendable. The actors go skin deep into the characters, making it a believable affair from the start.
I must warn, however, that the drama serial does begin to drag near the end.
Ghalati
Anger is a truly vengeful thing with a mind of its own. However, there is a need to control it. It is particularly important to ensure, that in moments of anger, we refrain from actions that will cause serious consequences. Ghalati is a drama that shows us exactly this.
Nevertheless, while it brings forward this learning aspect, it is also, for the most part, a typical drama in terms of arguments between the saas and the bahu, which can get a little tedious. I mean, we have enough of those already, don't we?
I shouldn't really write this, but I hate how the husband (Affan Waheed) casually gives 'TALAAQ' to his wife. Moreover, how he pushed his sister in the recent most episode really put me off.
Tales of men who are unfaithful are many. On the other hand, tales of women who are unfaithful, are few and far in between. In comes, the drama serial which has topped all charts. Aside from the star-studded cast, the drama truly has a lot to offer.
The best part I feel is the fact that it tells the other side of the story, the one in which the husband is sweet, faithful, and loving, but the wife still strays. The twist where the husband also hits the financial jackpot was a bit much, to be honest. Also, the last scene was a super stretch. However, overall, it is a good watch!
Critics have long hailed Umera Arshad as one of the best novel writers in Pakistan. Likewise, the drama Alif – based on her novel, did not disappoint even her diehard fans.
The storyline is fraught with emotions that viewers are sure to feel. The much talked about drama draws upon spiritual elements most Pakistanis can surely relate to. Therefore, it drew up a considerable fan base immediately upon it's release.
Hamza Ali Abbasi's return to the screen after a brief hiatus also contributed to the drama becoming wildly popular.
However, it is definitely not lighthearted. In order to truly grasp both the storyline and its philosophical elements, the drama demands attention and concentration from the viewers.
Ranjha Ranjha Kardi
Everyone faces hardships in life one way or another. At some point in our lives, we are forced to live a life that we could not have anticipated in our worst nightmares.
Such is the fate of Noori in the drama, who is forced to marry a mentally challenged man, 'Bhoola'. The character, and the storyline as a whole, became overnight sensations in much of Pakistan.
The acting too is commendable. Imran Ashraf clearly shines in his portrayal of Bhoola, taking the screen by storm during every scene. This drama played a major part in a breakout year that marked him as one of the industry's most promising actors.
Ehd-e-Wafa
Ehd-e-Wafa is another drama that has made a place for itself in the hearts of many. Granted, there was a bit of apprehension as it was an ISPR funded production. There were apprehensions that the drama has been produced with the sole agenda of molding public opinions.
However, this all faded away when the true story unveiled.
And even though it is patriotic and military-inspired, what is the harm in that? Our armed forces are our pride, and there is no wrong in being patriotic.
The story progresses by following four key characters, portrayed as college friends. These are Osman Khalid Butt, Ahad Raza Mir, Ahmad Ali, and Wahaj Ali. Each character goes on to live separate lives, intermingled through carefully crafted plot narratives and conflicts.
Although it may sound similar to Alpha Bravo Charlie, the drama eventually takes on an identity of it's own.
Khaas
Our society is truly patriarchal. Males in our society are often condescending, demanding, demeaning and unappreciative. Yes, I know not all men! The drama serial Khaas, is a wonderful attempt to show how such characters hurt their significant others.
It is also an accurate portrayal of the shift in the women, who no longer stand to put up with this behavior. One of the best things that this drama showed was the support of the girls' parents for her actions.
While in real life girls are often forced to live a humiliating existence merely for the sake of social standing and customs, Khaas showed that this doesn't have to be the case.
Simply because society expects adherence to age-old customs, does not mean they are right, or that they are the only way to go. It tells the women, it is right to stand up, because they deserve more!
Moreover, women in Islam have the right to 'Khula'. For all the mothers out there with sons; make them watch this!
Ishq Zah-e-Naseeb
All over the country, fans are positively swooning over the spectacular production that is Ishq Zah-e-Naseeb. The storyline is truly unique. Along with this, the cast has rendered captivating performances that have kept the audience riveted.
It is also one of the dramas which have tried to break the silence on topics that are often shushed.
Unsurprisingly, psychological illnesses are for the most part not taken seriously in Pakistan.
Going to the psychologist is still considered laugh-worthy. The drama serial Ishq Zah-e-Naseeb is, therefore, a breath of fresh air.
Zahid Ahmed has played the role of Sameer, a character with a split personality disorder, with perfection. His passion and interest in the character are evident from the way he has acted it out.
Overall, the drama is surely one you should not miss out on.. After all, It is the most searched Pakistani drama on Google for a reason.
It is truly amazing that these dramas are being used to shed light on topics that truly matter. Rather than run-of-the mill gibberish in the form of this affair and that girlfriend – these are dramas that hold our attention, provide entertainment and help us learn valuable lessons as well.
There is no dearth of dramas that are typical and focus on the storyline boy meets girl, or those annoying saas-bahu feuds.
The need of the hour is to spread awareness about topics and issues that matter.
We hope you enjoyed reading our list of top Pakistani dramas, are there any that we missed out on? Let us know.

Delivery still lags in Customs debacle – courier - by Kareem Smith January 7, 2020
Kareem Smith
At least one international shipping agency has blamed multiple "technical issues" for its failure to deliver packages on time with the implementation of updated package clearance software at Barbados' port of entry.
But an official at the Universal Postal Service's (UPS) Corporate Office in Atlanta, Georgia believes customs officials, couriers, and the original shipper may be the reason the prolonged backlog exists.
Meanwhile, scores of upset Barbadians continue to approach Barbados TODAY, frustrated that their packages remain undelivered as customs officials and shipping companies attempt to absolve themselves of any blame.
According to UPS Corporate Customer Relations Manager David Te'o the delay was "in part" because the shipper "keyed in" an incorrect import number.
While admitting he was sorry the issue took so long to be corrected the manager promised to have it cleared up and the package delivered by Monday.
The official was unable to give much insight on the challenges faced by the company's local branch attributable to the new ASYCUDA World customs software but said the lack of proper documentation and incorrect information by a shipper, a delivery company or even customs officials would result in lengthy wait periods worldwide.
"So, depending on whoever is at the customs office or inputs the information, that's really all due to timing and if you don't get the right people involved or don't know who to contact, that could further delay things," Te'o said.
He however did not know how many packages in the care of UPS were held up by these or similar circumstances.
Cherrisa Moore, a Barbadian studying in the U.K with children in Barbados said she shipped a package via DHL's two-day delivery so her children could receive their Christmas gifts just after December 25th.
"The package was sent off on December 23rd. With bank holidays in the mix it was to arrive in Barbados on December 27th which it did. To date the package is still in Barbados' customs awaiting a clearance event other than normal customs. I am greatly saddened by this as it means my children have not received their Christmas gifts and no one there is telling me or DHL anything," she said.
Ezra Parris said he has had a UPS package languishing with authorities since September 5 with no progress.
"The question is, what recourse do I have? What compensation?" he asked.
The frustrated customer continued: "Customs says it is not their fault. The courier says it is not theirs. Meantime the customer suffers in a sort of hell as their possessions rot away."
Another citizen who requested anonymity said she was having a similar issue with courier, Aeropost, who she claims is blaming customs officials for delays dating back to November last year.
"Up to now after visiting the airport branch and calling I am just being told that they have to clear a backlog from November 1, 2019. Mind you this is January. I've asked about compensation and they told me I must take it up with the Government," said the concerned citizen.
"How are we as Barbadians paying for a service and cannot receive our packages in a timely manner? My children went without Christmas presents because Aeropost claims customs is the delay. This needs to be highlighted as a matter or urgency."
Meanwhile, Comptroller of Customs Owen Holder denied that the Customs and Excise Department is responsible for the issues and has warned against spreading information that is "absolutely untrue" about his department.
He insisted to Barbados TODAY that despite some kinks which affected the system when it was initially implemented, ASYCUDA World is now working "perfectly". The problem, he suggested, is with some couriers who are simply refusing to make necessary adjustments to their internal processes. [email protected]

1528: Shipwrecked Spanish conquistador Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca became the first known European to set foot in what is today known as Texas.
Contrary to the popular myth that has been created and perpetuated by the Church of Rome and the U.S.A., the voyages of Christopher Columbus were limited to the Caribbean Sea area (see the actual voyages of Columbus on the second map below; see also Thanksgiving In History and Prophecy). The continent of North America itself was discovered by Vikings who landed on what is today the east coast of Canada - over 5 centuries before Columbus was even born.
Columbus was working for the fanatical Roman Catholic Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain (the king and queen that started the infamous "Spanish Inquisition"), while the Vikings were "protestant" - long before Martin Luther. The Church of Rome was responsible for selling the Columbus-was-first myth. Their religion was used to dictate history. Anyone who taught otherwise was declared a "heretic."
But why then was the blatant Columbus-was-first myth perpetuated by people who know the truth centuries later? Politics. Quoted from the article at livescience.com: "So why does the United States celebrate the guy who thought he found a nifty new route to Asia and the lands described by Marco Polo? This is because the early United States was fighting with England, not Spain. John Cabot (a.k.a. Giovanni Caboto, another Italian) "discovered" Newfoundland in England's name around 1497 and paved the way for England's colonization of most of North America. So the American colonialists instead turned to Columbus as their hero, not England's Cabot."
1572: A supernova (a newly-visible "star" caused by the explosion of an old star) was observed in the constellation Cassiopeia. Another example of a supernova remnant is the "Crab Nebula" show below; it was first observed and recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054.
1917: During the First World War (1914-1918), the 5-month third Battle of Ypres ended when Canadian and Australian troops took Passchendaele. The advance of 5 miles cost 240,000 men.
1935: The first flight of the Hawker Hurricane. Over 14,000 Hurricanes were built during the Second World War (1939-1945), including 1,400 built in Canada for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Hawker Hurricanes and Supermarine Spitfires defeated Hitler's air forces in "the Battle of Britain."
1943: After over 2 years of German occupation, the Russians captured their city of Kiev.


Checking in with some of the most popular design bloggers to see what's hot this fall.
Looking for a refreshing change for your home? Here are 9 of the most stylish design trends to look forward to this fall.
1. Whimsical Displayed Collections - break into your collection of metal lunchboxes, vintage toys and any other quirky collectables that you have been hiding away. Are you a sucker for antique tea cups or mod wall accessories found in flea markets? This fall, it's time to make it a part of your decor. Display a part of your personality by integrating your collection into parts of your decor.
2. The Eclectic is Now Mainstream - While mixing of styles is often considered a design faux pas, with a bit of latitude, design is becoming more creative. Take that whimsical, curated display one step further and exclaim your personality in big ways. This might be as simple as building a room around favorite pieces, including family heirlooms, even if the styles clash. Perhaps a particular color ties everything together or an art piece is the focal point around which the room is planned. Let the room tell your story.
3. Artisan Pieces and Handmade Details - unique textures, hand-carved wood and one-of-a-kind pieces with handmade details are another part of that eclectic personality shining through. So much more than folk art, this trend is incorporating new textures and and integral pieces into your decor without changing your style. A handcrafted piece, in a complete neutral tone fits well into both contemporary and traditional decor.
4. Going Neutral - While it's not secret that neutral tones can be the perfect backdrop for bolder colors, neutrals also work well with other neutrals. Layering neutrals with other neutrals of varying shapes and textures creates a same color contrast very different from the contrast of bold or bright colors or patterns.
5. Americana - Traditional craftsmanship from repurposed materials, placed into neutral or contemporary settings enhances a look of Americana. Good old fashioned traditional pieces, that are sturdy, rustic, well-made, unique and celebrate the beauty of handcraftsmanship are the focal point of this trend.
6. Color Contrast with Small Pieces of Furniture - Try contrasting in the decor with bold color pops on small pieces of furniture. Night stands, sofa tables, small bookcases, side chairs can be repainted and reupholstered with bold colors. Let the small pieces do all of the big talking.
7. Decor Mimicking Fashion - It's no secret how much we see interior decor mimic high fashion, and the other way around. The patterns, the color palettes, even the small details offer an uncanny similarity. Add a little bit of high fashion to your closet and to your floors.
8. Warmth with Accessories - As fall begins to fall upon us and winter is around the corner, some of the most appealing accessories in our homes also become the practical ones. Add faux-fur throws, shag rugs, or a simple flokati to usher in the warmth. Of course, a rug creates a warmth not only with its appearance but by actually keeping in the warmth on cold days. Your toes will feel the difference.
9. Brass Details - Brass details in lighting, accessories, art and even on furniture add a touch of mid-century modern or even old Holywood, adding a bit of a vintage appearance to contemporary decor. A bedside table lamp or a vintage brass tray atop your bar counter adds that little touch of timelessness to a familiar piece.


An X-cursor-theme for use along with the numixproject products.
tell me, whether you like it or not and what you would prefer to be changed to suit the numix design (referring to the numix-theme from the numixproject on github).
For the moment, the only size supported is 24px and one color scheme.
I generated all the x-cursor files and png images by hand, for the design I used Inkscape.
I'm currently working on a 1.0 release with another guy. This will include an automated install script with an option for customizing the color of the cursor (including a dark theme). Customizing the size and a left-hand variant is planned for another future release (perhaps 2.0).
Looks very goood with the Numix theme on Cinnamon 2.6!

Q: Conversation History not showing in Skype For Business Online We've been working on this for a number of weeks now and are really struggling to find anymore potential solutions.
The issue is, we're not seeing the conversation history or missed conversations in the Skype for Business application. We are, however, receiving the conversation history in Outlook and that seems to be working fine. We can see user availability in Outlook and S4B is putting users as DnD when they're in a meeting so that all seems to be working fine.
We're using Exchange Server 2010 on premise and Skype for Business Online.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, we're pulling our hair out over this!

Home / Publications / Serious Invasions of Privacy in the Digital Era (ALRC Report 123) / 14. Surveillance Devices / Alternative forums for complaints about surveillance
Recommendation 14–8 State and territory governments should give jurisdiction to appropriate courts and tribunals to hear complaints about the installation and use of surveillance devices that can monitor neighbours on residential property.
14.90 The ALRC recommends that jurisdiction be conferred on appropriate courts and tribunals to allow residential neighbours' disputes about the use of surveillance devices to be heard by appropriate courts and tribunals. A number of submissions to this Inquiry have raised concerns regarding CCTV cameras, installed for security in homes and offices that may also record the activities of neighbours. A low cost option for resolving disputes about surveillance devices is desirable, particularly where prosecution under surveillance legislation is inappropriate, undesirable or unsuccessful. While such a dispute might also be settled by one neighbour seeking an injunction against the other under the law of nuisance, as in Raciti v Hughes,[88] such a process involves proceedings in superior courts. It would be desirable for a lower cost forum to be made available.
14.91 Courts and tribunals—such as the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT); the NSW Land and Environment Court (LEC); the Queensland Planning and Environment Court (QPEC); the State Administrative Tribunal of Western Australia (SAT); and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT)—have jurisdiction to hear a wide range of civil disputes and disputes relating to planning and development,[89] as well as disputes between neighbours.[90]
14.92 Many of the types of disputes that may currently be heard in these tribunals involve an element of privacy, and in particular the protection of privacy in disputes between neighbours. For example, in Walnut Tree Development v Hepburn SC[91] the VCAT required that additional fencing be included in a development plan in order to enhance the privacy of a neighbouring building. In Des Forges v Kangaroo Point Residents Association, the QPEC set aside development approval for three residential towers because 'insufficient regard has been paid to the actual intensity of the development, to boundary clearances, separation, privacy and the consequential effects on views'.[92] In Meriton v Sydney City Council,[93] the NSW LEC found that a building proposal would not have an unacceptable impact on privacy because of the particular angle of its windows. In Szann v Council of the City of Sydney,[94] the NSW LEC dismissed an appeal against a council decision rejecting the use of two security cameras with the ability to pan and zoom, noting that a fixed lens camera would have provided adequate surveillance. In Szann, the Court observed that:
The presence of the dome camera, high on the rear elevation immediately adjacent to the shared boundary, is a menacing panoptic mechanism, positioned to give the neighbours the impression of being constantly observed in their own, private rear courtyard. Any camera, where the lens is visible from an adjoining property or the public domain, gives the perception that you are under surveillance, regardless of whether 'privacy masks' are enabled to veil unwanted zones, because you cannot see whether a privacy mask is enabled by looking at the camera. The barrel camera body of the fixed lens camera provides an assurance than when you are not in front of the cone view of the lens, you are not under surveillance.[95]
14.93 In the Discussion Paper, the ALRC asked whether local councils should be empowered to regulate the installation and use of surveillance devices by private individuals. Stakeholders were generally not supportive of local councils holding such a power. Concerns expressed in submissions included:
inconsistency and fragmentation of surveillance laws;[96]
weakening of 'strong national standards' of surveillance device regulation;[97]
a risk of over-regulation, such as restrictions placed on photography during public events at public beaches;[98] and
the limited experience of local council officers in regulating surveillance.[99]
14.94 Noting these concerns about the regulation of surveillance devices by local councils, the ALRC considers that there remains a benefit in having complaints about certain types of surveillance dealt with in forums that may provide resolution with less cost, less time, and less impact on parties.
14.95 The ALRC also considers that the resolution of neighbourhood disputes about surveillance device in courts and tribunals would avoid the concerns expressed by stakeholders about local council regulation:
courts and tribunals operate at the state and territory level, ensuring consistency at that level—these powers would not be to the exclusion of the Commonwealth surveillance legislation;
over-regulation of the type envisaged by stakeholders would be limited, since the powers would be limited to residential neighbour disputes and provided for under legislation; and
courts and tribunals have existing experience in dealing with privacy issues in the context of neighbour disputes.
Raciti v Hughes (1995) 7 BPR 14, 837. The plaintiffs in this case successfully obtained an injunction to prevent the use of motion-triggered lights and surveillance cameras aimed at their backyard.
The South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (SA) provides for the establishment of the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT). However, at the time of writing, the SACAT has not begun operation.
See, for example, the Trees (Disputes Between Neighbours) Act 2006 (NSW). Many lower courts have jurisdiction over fencing disputes: see, eg, Fences Act 1975 (SA).
