The simplicity of their reporting was a real draw to us. That has without a doubt lived up to expectations - the simplicity of the solution in terms of the interface with our drivers, and all of our colleagues, is something that really does make Microlise stand out from the crowd.
Nigel Tullett, Commercial Director, Bibby Distribution
Bibby Distribution is a privately owned multifaceted logistics company whose parent organisation, Bibby Line Group,was established more than 200years ago. Operating in a number of sectors, the company employs more than a thousand drivers, has1,500 trailers and 600 tractor units.Over the last decade Bibby has bought half a dozen businesses as it expands its operations through both acquisition and organic growth.
A significant challenge has been integrating the various systems at these six different companies – with the existing technology at Bibby.
Bibby wanted to make sure it didn't end up with a diverse array of systems not talking to each other. This, according to Commercial Director Nigel Tullett, would lead tothe business not being optimised; ultimately affecting the offering available to customers.
Once the decision had been made, a specialist Microlise team assembled to work closely with Bibby and ensure a comprehensive understanding of the goals for the deployment and the capabilities of the system.
Bibby decided to invest in a single telematics system across the business, and also in a solution which could be used to actively drive the health and safety culture at the business – priority number one for Bibby – which also owns shipping and oil and gas companies.
Bibby Distribution selected Microlise to be the telematics solution across its entire fleet.
The emphasis has been to stop focusing on fuel consumption and start focusing on driving style. At first it was easy to be distracted and attempt to address fuel consumption directly, but the team has found that using telematics to improve driving style should be the priority.
The transport team is achieving this in a number of ways, including through weekly league tables. Drivers are measured on a host of criteria including idling, speeding, cornering and braking; and given an overall score between A and G.
"Working with Microlise, the team were always really engaged, very friendly and they always had ourselves as the customer at the centre of their decision-making," said Tullett.
By managing drivers correctly, so that they are performing at a higher standard, Bibby has seen economic benefits. Bibby is already experiencing better MPG and is driving down maintenance costs, with fewer knocks and less wear and tear on vehicles.
Bibby has also seen a reduced level of accidents within the business, a reduction in RIDDORs (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) by 39%, a reduction in lost time accidents and a reduction in the number of accidents per million miles driven. "Investing in Microlise has proved invaluable to us," Tullett added.
Implementing a driver training system, backed by Microlise, has seen a 12% reduction in accidents, and an 11% improvement in fuel economy and CO2 output reduced by over 10%.

Q: Get the upcoming CSS transition properties I'm building an interface with React, and I'd like to get the properties of div container (clientWidth and clientHeight) after I changed a class.
The main problem is that there is a CSS transition of 0.2s for the width/height properties, so whenever I try to detect a (future) DOM modification thanks to React (with componentDidMount) or with a MutationObserver, I'm getting the clientWidth and clientHeight right before the transition starts.
Ideally, I'd like to get the properties that are about to be applied after the transition so I could re-render sub-components and give them the future width/height they need.
Is there any good way to do this?
I thank you in advance :)

A: You can write a trigger for css transition end: https://davidwalsh.name/css-animation-callback
So you can wait with the height and width detection till this event is triggered.

Today, I was named the City of Syracuse's first Chief Data Officer. It is an exciting opportunity to take on the challenge of building a more data-driven government. Through my work with the Innovation Team, I've written about how we have analyzed road data to diagnose problems and find potential solutions and outcomes.
I also wrote about how the City could do more with data to make process more efficient and effective. Now, in the role of the Chief Data Officer, I will work with city departments and community stakeholders to find ways to use data as and leverage it as an asset.
Creating policies and processes around data governance (how do we collect and store data, and what is data is collected) and data audits (figuring out what data already exists).
A lot of data and information is collected by different City departments. This data lives in many formats - disparate databases, spreadsheets on different servers, and sometimes on paper. Finding ways to digitize data and ensure staff know where to find the information they need is critical.
Because data is spread out in many different places, staff may not always know where to find information from other departments that is critical to their work. The street repair team, for instance, should know where roads have been cut into by other City departments. Making data centralized or accessible to staff will allow us to move toward better planning and evaluation of programs.
Many systems that the City currently uses do not allow for the free flow of data.
So, even though some staff might know that data exists, the legacy databases do not allow for easy data extraction. Creating procurement requirements that include consideration for data availability can help to make sure the data that is collected can be used.
Once the data is able to be extracted, we want to promote sharing data. Data and information that the City collects belongs to the community. There are some reasons why city data should be kept private, but for the most part it can and should be released. This makes government processes more transparent.
It also allows for a more participatory citizenry. There are a lot of smart, interested people in the City of Syracuse that want to work with city data. Releasing it to the public allows them to learn more about how the government works and then use their talents to build applications, investigate, and ask questions.
All of this can help improve government and have a more engaged population. In fact, many other cities have seen the benefits of this already.
Code for America brigades build applications using Open Data, the City of Chicago has predicted health code violations using data, and the White House has spearheaded the police data initiative which combines data from police departments across the country to help enhance community policing. These are just a few examples, but also show the opportunities that come from using city data as an asset.
There is a lot to be done, and it will take time to make all of this happen. In the meantime, I want to hear about where you think data could be used more in government, and how you would like to be involved.
So comment below, and send me an email at sedelstein@syrgov.net or tweet at me at @samedelstein. I want to talk to you.


It can get hairy out on the road, Cam-Am design their ATV's with a rider focus making sure every drive is safe and ready to handle anything.
We don't just put a seat onto an excellently performing machine, we design the entire vehicle around you. The seat position and cushion are designed to maximize comfort and offer an optimal position for the rider so you can keep going on the trail. Foot pegs are placed so your body rests in a natural position as you ride. Plus our multifunction gauge is easy to read at a glance.
The only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, the wheels pivot straight up and down rather than in a butterfly motion like competitors' systems. So, the vehicle moves only in the direction you point it. There's also an external sway bar for more controlled body roll in turns.

How To Manage Privacy Settings On Your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch In iOS 6
Posted by iPhoneHacks on Oct 02, 2012 in iOS 6, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, iPad Tips and Tricks, iPhone Guides, iPhone Tutorials, iPhone Tips and Tricks
Back in February, privacy issues were raised in iOS after a blogger discovered that apps such as Path, Twitter etc upload the address book to their servers.
Apple has added a host of new Privacy settings in iOS 6 that was released couple of weeks back, which should address some of those concerns. We take a look at how you can manage privacy settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in iOS 6.
The new privacy settings are now accessible just below "Brightness & Wallpaper" in the Settings app.
The Privacy settings are broken down into the following sections:
Bluetooth Sharing
Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Photos:
Navigating to each section gives you the list of apps that have requested access to Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and Photos on your iOS device. You can enable or disable access via the On/Off toggle.
Location Services:
This section will display the list of apps that have requested your location. You can also find out which app has used location services recently or in the last 24 hours with the help of the location services icon.
A purple location services icon will appear next to an item that has recently used location services.
A gray location services icon will appear next to an item that has used your location within the last 24 hours.
An outlined location services icon will appear next to an item that is using a geofence (like the Reminders app).
Under Location services, you also have the option to enable or disable location services for System services such as Cell Network Search, Compass Calibration, Diagnostics & Usage, Genius for Apps etc. It may be prudent to disable Location services (Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services) for apps and system services, which you think can be used without tracking your location to conserve battery life. Check out tips to manage iPhone's battery life.
Bluetooth Sharing:
In this section, apps that have requested the ability to share data via Bluetooth will appear here. Apple says these apps can share data even when you're not using them. But it is not clear what kind of apps will have the ability to share data via Bluetooth.
Twitter, Facebook:
These sections will display the list of apps that have requested access to your Twitter and Facebook account.
Limit Ad Tracking:
This new setting is not under Privacy settings, but is hidden in the About Section (Settings -> General -> About -> Advertising). In iOS 6, Apple has introduced a new advertising identifier, a non-permanent, non-personal device identifier that Apple says can be used by apps to give you more control over advertisers ability to use tracking methods. It's an alternative for UDID. Apple had depreciated the ability of third party developers and ad networks to obtain the UUID (universally unique device identifiers), which was used to perform sophisticated tracking of devices (web cookies, unlike UUIDs, can't track a specific computer, and can be deleted by the user).
You can now choose to limit ad tracking via Settings -> General -> About -> Advertising -> Limit Ad tracking, which will prevent apps from using the new advertising identifier to serve you targeted ads. Apple
The new privacy settings should give users better visibility and control on what apps can access on your iOS device. If you blindly say "Yes" or "No" when an app requests for access to information, it may be a good idea to review the privacy settings every month and optimize the settings based on your usage.
Has privacy been a concern for you? What do you think of the new privacy settin's in iOS 6?

Well its done! All garlic is now out and hanging up to cure. Its was a mad rush this year as the garlic was late to mature and we need to get it out to select out what is going to the Carp Garlic Festival. The festival is this weekend in Carp, by Ottawa, and we are just not ready with our garlic. I will be selling it still on their stems, sorry folks, no purple bags of 1/2 and 1 pounds this year . they will be made available later on if you choose to mail order some garlic. So meanwhile, its curing very well in our barn. Check out the event page often to see where I will be next.


A hallmark of the JAG program is community service. Being active in the community and helping others teaches JAG students humility and raises their self-esteem. In a small town in Montana, the Roberts School Junior High Jobs for Montana Graduates class worked for several months to raise money in support of the Montana Wounded Warrior Project. The JMG students operated a school store after each academic day, and in addition, the class raffled off a quilt. Mrs. Dines, a resident of Roberts, donated her time and energy to hand stitch a quilt which was raffled off to help raise money for JMG and the Montana Wounded Warriors.
The Montana Wounded Warriors (MWW) organization assists veterans who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. The mission of the group is, "to provide wounded Montana veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan wars with high quality hunting and fishing opportunities in the state of Montana." JMG chose the MWW in part because their staff is 100% volunteer. "This is quite interesting because there still are people doing good things out of the kindness of their heart and not expecting anything in return, that's cool." said Elijah Foss.
Taught by Mrs. Hogan, the JMG class which meets daily. The majority of the money donated to MWW was raised through the JMG store. "We opened the store as a money making project and as a service to students." Mrs. Hogan said. The JMG store helps students learn money management skills and in this case allowed the JMG class to help others.

Q: Binding Angularjs select items to model using property of item I have a collection as follows:
$scope.TeamType = [
    {
        "name": "Beginner",
        "value": 0
    },
    {
        "name": "Novice",
        "value": 1
    },
    {
        "name": "Expert",
        "value": 2
    },
    {
        "name": "Masters",
        "value": 3
    }];

I also have a variable in my controller:
$scope.SelectedTeamType = 0;

I am trying to use these items in the following statement
<select ng-model="SelectedTeamType" ng-options="v as v.name for v in TeamType track by v.value"></select>

I would like the select to init with the corresponding value in the model and save the value to the model when select changes. I am not sure why the model SelectedTeamType is getting the entire object stored to it instead of the v.value and why it isnt initializing with beginner.

A: As per comment I need to keep $scope.SelectedTeamType as an integer value
Use
<select
    ng-model="SelectedTeamType"
    ng-options="v.value as v.name for v in TeamType"
 ></select>

DEMO

Its storing object due to expression which you have provided in ngOptions.
You need to bind object, use
$scope.SelectedTeamType = $scope.TeamType[0];

better
$scope.SelectedTeamType = $scope.TeamType.filter(function(t) {
    return t.value == 0;
});


We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, truth without error, clear and powerful in its message, sufficient for all of our needs, and final authority for faith and life.
We believe in the triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — Who is holy, loving, good, wise and almighty; Who has created all things by His Word out of nothing, Who sustains, provides for and rules all things, Who is our only redeemer and Who will judge all people.
We believe that God created men and women in His image and likeness for fellowship with Himself and to carry out the creation mandates—demonstrating the unique and exclusive relationship between one man and one woman within the covenant of marriage; that Adam and Eve sinned and that by their disobedience the entire race was alienated from God, depraved and totally lost.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, Who added full humanity to His perfect deity, obeyed God perfectly, died for our sins on the cross, rose again to defeat Satan and returned to heaven to pour out the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and to intercede for His people.
We believe that the triune God has provided a great salvation for those who repent of their sins and trust Christ and His finished work; that He calls, regenerates, justifies, forgives, adopts, sanctifies, keeps and will glorify them.
We believe in the Holy Spirit Who has been sent to complete and perfect in us all of the works that Jesus did for us. He convicts of sin, regenerates, sanctifies us, gifts us for ministry and assures us of our salvation.
We believe in the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the bodily resurrection and final judgment of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved, and the everlasting, conscious punishment of the lost.
We consider it our privilege to welcome you to Fellowship Reformed Church. The following information serves as a brief snapshot regarding each of our worship services. However, if you have specific or additional questions, please feel free to contact Pastor Shawn at shulst@frchudsonville.org.
You may enter the church through the door nearest your parking location. But please note: doors "A" and "D" are handicap-accessible and barrier free; an elevator is located immediately inside door "A."
Inside the church, you can anticipate a handshake and a smile from one of our many identified greeters. They will be able to assist you with any of your questions or needs. Furthermore, they will be able to direct you to our Information Center; it provides our latest church publications and is staffed by a friendly volunteer.
We love children! And, if you have young toddlers or a baby requiring a nursery, we are ready to help you. Our volunteer nursery staff are fully credentialed and verified for the safety and security of your children. You will also be provided with a personal pager that will vibrate and alert you if you are needed by your child during a service.As you enter the Sanctuary, an usher will gladly take you to a seat of your choice. We have seating on the ground level--as well as in the balcony. Please choose a location that best fits your needs--and the needs of your family.
Some folks wonder what they should wear in worship. We believe that God looks beyond our personal attire--and is most interested in our hearts. But, as you look around the Sanctuary, you will see people dressed in suits, business casual attire, jeans, shorts, and even t-shirts. Remember--your heart and your attitude matter the most to God.
Worship is an expression of our loving relationship with God. We are joined to celebrate His love for us--and His care and concern for our lives. He is our Heavenly Father!
As we worship our Father, we enjoy a full spectrum of music, having both traditional hymns as well as brand new songs. Every selection points us to the truth of Scripture.
Prayer is our conversation with God--through the power of the Holy Spirit. We praise Him. We confess our sins and failures, our weaknesses and needs. We pray and count our blessings. Prayer is an opportunity to bring our specific experiences immediately to God.
Within worship, we always focus upon God's Word: the Bible. We read it, study it, and personally and practically apply it to our lives. We believe God's Word has authority in our lives.
During our worship, we also receive an offering. As a guest, please allow the offering plate to pass by you. However, as members, we bring a tithe or an offering. We give back to God a portion of what He has generously given to us.
Following the service, please join us in the lobby. It's a great time to look for familiar faces. It's also a great time for church staff to connect with you and to answer any of your questions. We also have coffee and tea available for those who might enjoy a beverage.
Still have questions? Great! Feel free to contact Pastor Shawn at shulst@frchudsonville.org or 669-1213 x105.

Hi, I'm Brooke, a cookie addict! Hint hint, on why I call my blog Brookie's Cookies! I grew up with the nickname Brookie Cookie all my life. Who knew I would "grow up" and actually have my life revolve around cookies! Ha.. I have always had a sweet tooth for desserts, especially sugar cookies.

Q: Displaying different Images with multiple buttons in Javascript I'm a newbie to Javascript and I'm trying to put together a program that displays one image at a time, and when a different button is pressed a new image is shown to replace the old one. I'm hoping that you all could help me out with this one!
Here's what I have so far:

My favorite Beers!

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Lost And Found">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg('stone-gtipa-bottle.jpg')" value= "Green Tea IPA">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Belching Beaver">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Karl Strauss">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Mission Brewery">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Fallbrook Brewery">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Gordon Biersch">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Grizzly Paw">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Modern Times">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg()" value= "Agave Maria">

A: You can do this in a better way (don't predefine all the images and don't set them all to hide, but whatever, the following script and HTML will do more or less what you want.

My favorite Beers!

<input type="button" onclick="showImg(1);" value="Lost And Found">

<input type="button" onclick="showImg(2);" value="Green Tea IPA">

<input type="button" onclick="showImg(3);" value= "Belching Beaver">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg(4)" value= "Karl Strauss">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg(5)" value= "Mission Brewery">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg(6)" value= "Fallbrook Brewery">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg(7)" value= "Gordon Biersch">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg(8)" value= "Grizzly Paw">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg(10)" value= "Modern Times">

<input type="button" onclick = "showImg(9)" value= "Agave Maria">

An alternative, would be to have a single  anchor, and then the buttons would change the src of the  based on what the <input type="button" onclick="showImg();>" sends in as src rather than a number.
My goal has been to make a solution which is closely based on what you already have.

[ G.R. No. 170864, February 16, 2010 ]
NELSON LAGAZO, PETITIONER, VS. GERALD B. SORIANO AND GALILEO B. SORIANO, RESPONDENTS.
PERALTA, J.:
This resolves the Petition for Review on Certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, praying that the Decision[1] of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No. 80709, promulgated on October 28, 2005, granting herein respondents' petition for review, and the CA Resolution[2] promulgated on December 20, 2005, denying herein petitioner's motion for reconsideration, be reversed and set aside.
The undisputed facts are as follows.
On January 16, 2001, respondents filed with the Municipal Trial Court of Tabuk, Kalinga (MTC), a complaint for Forcible Entry with Application for Termporary Restraining Order and a Writ of Preliminary Injunction and Damages against petitioner. Respondents claimed they were the owners of a parcel of land covered by Original Certificate of Title No. P-665, Lot No. 816, Pls-93 with an area of 58,171 square meters. They allegedly acquired the same by purchase from their grandfather, Arsenio Baac, on September 10, 1998, but even prior thereto, they were already allowed by Arsenio Baac to cultivate said land. They paid real property taxes for said property from 1990 to 1998 and had been in actual possession from that time. However, on January 6, 2001, herein petitioner allegedly unlawfully entered the property by means of force, stealth, and strategy and began cultivating the land for himself.
On the other hand, petitioner insisted in his Answer that he, together with his mother, brothers, and sisters, were the lawful owners of the land in question, being the legal heirs of Alfredo Lagazo, the registered owner thereof. They denied that the subject land was sold to Arsenio Baac, alleging instead that the agreement between Alfredo Lagazo and Arsenio Baac was merely one of mortgage. Petitioner, likewise maintained that he and his co-heirs had always been in possession of the disputed land. They allegedly tried several times to redeem the property, but Baac increased the redemption price from P10,000.00 to P100,000.00. This prompted them to bring the matter before the Barangay Lupon of Balong, Tabuk, Kalinga, but no agreement was reached.
On November 23, 2001, the MTC rendered a Decision, the dispositive portion of which reads as follows:
WHEREFORE, judgment is hereby rendered as follows:
Dismissing the complaint of Forcible Entry filed against defendant Nelson Lagazo;
Ordering the plaintiffs, Gerald B. Soriano and Galileo B. Soriano to surrender Original Certificate of Title No. P-665 in the name of Alfredo Lagazo to the heirs of Lagazo which was given to Arsenio Baac by Alfredo Lagazo when the Deed of Mortgage was executed between them;
Ordering the heirs of Alfredo Lagazo to execute the deed of conveyance in favor of the plaintiffs covering the one (1) hectare portion subject of the mortgage between Alfredo Lagazo and Arsenio Baac and to segregate the same from property covered by OCT P-665;
Plaintiffs to pay the costs of suit.
The foregoing Decision was appealed to the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Tabuk, Kalinga. Said appellate court ruled that herein respondents failed to prove prior physical possession, thus, it reversed the MTC Decision and dismissed the complaint against herein petitioner.
Respondents then filed with the CA a Petition for Review under Rule 42 of the Rules of Court and on October 28, 2005, the CA promulgated the assailed Decision which disposed thus:
WHEREFORE, premises considered, the petition is GRANTED. Physical possession is hereby ordered returned to the petitioners, without prejudice to the respondent's right to take recourse to remedies provided for under the law, if he is so inclined. Actual, moral and exemplary damages cannot be granted because of lack of substantive evidence to prove the same. However, we grant the amount of P10,000.00 in attorney's fees plus P500.00 per appearance of petitioners' counsel, as well as another P10,000.00 in litigation expenses as prayed for in their complaint, conformably to par. 11 of Art. 2208 of the Civil Code, i.e. it is just and equitable under the circumstances, and considering that the award is well deserved by the petitioners who had shown evident good faith in, and respect for, the judicial system.
Petitioner moved for reconsideration, but the same was denied per CA Resolution dated December 20, 2005. Hence, this petition where the following issues are raised:
WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT GRAVELY ERRED IN FINDING THAT THERE WAS IMPLIED ADMISSION ON THE PART OF THE PETITIONER THAT RESPONDENTS HAD BEEN IN ACTUAL PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF THE LOT IN CONTROVERSY SINCE 1979.
WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT GRAVELY ERRED IN NOT GIVING CREDENCE TO THE EVIDENCE ADDUCED BY PETITIONER SUBSTANTIATING HIS PRIORITY IN POSSESSION OVER THE LOT IN CONTROVERSY.
WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT GRAVELY ERRED IN FINDING THAT THE RESPONDENTS HAVE BETTER RIGHT OF POSSESSION OVER THE LOT IN CONTROVERSY.[5]
The Court finds the petition unmeritorious.
Prior physical possession is an indispensable element in forcible entry cases.[6] Thus, the ultimate question here is who had prior physical possession of the disputed land.
Ordinarily, in a Petition for Review on Certiorari, this Court only considers questions of law, as it is not a trier of facts. However, there are exceptions to this general rule, such as, when the findings of fact of the appellate court are contrary to those of the trial court.[7] Such circumstance exists in this case, hence, the Court is compelled to take a closer look at the records.
In Sudaria v. Quiambao,[8] the Court held that:
Ejectment proceedings are summary proceedings intended to provide an expeditious means of protecting actual possession or right to possession of property. Title is not involved. The sole issue to be resolved is who is entitled to the physical or material possession of the premises or possession de facto. On this point, the pronouncements in Pajuyo v. Court of Appeals are enlightening, thus:
x x x Regardless of the actual condition of the title to the property, the party in peaceable quiet possession shall not be thrown out by a strong hand, violence or terror. Neither is the unlawful withholding of property allowed. Courts will always uphold respect for prior possession.
Thus, a party who can prove prior possession can recover such possession even against the owner himself. Whatever may be the character of his possession, if he has in his favor prior possession in time, he has the security that entitles him to remain on the property until a person with a better right lawfully ejects him. To repeat, the only issue that the court has to settle in an ejectment suit is the right to physical possession.[9] (Emphasis supplied.)
Moreover, in De Grano v. Lacaba,[10] it was explained that:
x x x the word "possession," as used in forcible entry and unlawful detainer cases, means nothing more than physical possession, not legal possession in the sense contemplated in civil law. When the law speaks of possession, the reference is to prior physical possession or possession de facto, as contra-distinguished from possession de jure. Only prior physical possession, not title, is the issue. Issues as to the right of possession or ownership are not involved in the action; evidence thereon is not admissible, except only for the purpose of determining the issue of possession.[11] (Emphasis supplied.)
Bearing the foregoing in mind, a thorough examination of the evidence revealed that, indeed, the parties in last peaceable quiet possession of the property in question were herein respondents.
The most important evidence for respondents was the testimony of Brgy. Capt. Artemio Fontanilla, who stated that he was born and had continuously resided in Balong, Tabuk, Kalinga; that the disputed land was only about three kilometers from his house; that for the longest time, he had always known that it was Arsenio Baac who was cultivating and occupying said property; and that it was only sometime in January 2001, when the police asked him to accompany them to the subject land, that he saw petitioner with some other men working said land. [12]
On the other hand, what petitioner's evidence sought to establish was that he and his co-heirs continued to be the owners of the land, as his predecessor never intended to sell the property to Arsenio Baac, the true agreement being only one of a mortgage. Petitioner never established the fact of his physical possession over the disputed land. Ironically, the most telling pieces of evidence that doomed petitioner's case were the testimonies of petitioner himself and his sister, Marina Niñalga. Their own admissions on the witness stand proved that respondents were indeed the ones in physical possession of the subject property. Petitioner Lagazo himself testified as follows:
So, at that time that you were at Alicia, Isabela and at that time that you staying thereat, you have no knowledge to what is happening to the land which is now the subject of this case, Am I correct?
I was only hearing stories from my father and my mother that they want to regain back the land which was mortgaged, sir.
It is when only on January of 2001 that you allegedly claimed over the parcel of land in question, am I correct Mr. Witness?
Was not only during that time but that was only the time we entered into the land, sir.
So, you are now admitting Mr. Witness, its only on January 6, 2001, you entered the land in question?
And, prior to January 6 of 2001, you never possessed or cultivated the land in question, Am I correct?
Who was an apparent heir of spouses Alfredo Lagaso, you never personally cultivated or possessed the land in question prior to January 6, 2001, am I correct?
No, sir because according to them it was mortgaged, Your Honor.
But you never personally cultivated the land prior to January 6, 2001?
No, sir.[13]
Meanwhile, Marina Niñalga also recounted that in 1979, they left the subject property out of fear because Arsenio Baac allegedly wanted to grab the land for himself. She testified that after they left in 1979, it was already Arsenio Baac who cultivated said land. Despite such claim that Arsenio Baac took their land with force and intimidation, Marina said they never reported the matter to the police, and never filed any criminal action in court against Arsenio Baac.[14]
Verily, the foregoing leaves no doubt in our mind that it was only on January 6, 2001 that petitioner, believing himself to be the lawful owner of the disputed land, entered the same, thereby disturbing respondents' peaceful possession thereof.
IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING, the instant petition is dismissed. The Decision and Resolution of the Court of Appeals dated October 28, 2005 and December 20, 2005, respectively, in CA G.R. SP No. 80709 are AFFIRMED.

Phone Scripts 7.9-7.11.2018: REUNITE the KIDS/Trump is Destroying Our Healthcare + More
The children remain separated from their parents. The government reneges on health care cost, leaving families stranded. The president meets with Putin - with no witnesses. And the president gets to appoint the next member of the Supreme Court.
All this will continue to happen. We change the outcome by calling. Reunite the children. Help families. Reject this president. Use our scripts!
ALL Members of Congress (MoCs)
Monday: Thirteen Days: Reunite the Children!
Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I'm calling to ask [the MoC] to demand that the Trump regime reunite all children under five years old IMMEDIATELY, per the court order issued thirteen days ago that stipulated they be returned within fourteen days.
Trump created a bogus "border crisis" where non existed and used it as an excuse to arrest and detain parents, then tear their children away from them – and then lose track of them. U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw ordered the administration to return all children under five to their parents within fourteen days. Now Health and Human Services is saying they can't meet the deadline even for those children – and there are only about 100 of them. The regime isn't acting in good faith. The children must be returned NOW.
I need [the MoC] to make a bold public statement about this TODAY and EVERY DAY until the children are safe in their parent's arms.
https://www.politico.com/amp/story/2018/07/02/separated-families-border-children-reunite-664674
Tuesday: Time's UP! Reunite the children!!
Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I'm calling to ask [the MoC] to demand that the Trump regime reunite all children under five years old IMMEDIATELY, per the court order issued two weeks ago that stipulated they be returned by today.
The Trump regime is acting in bad faith. When Thailand wanted to rescue trapped kids, they set to work and started saving lives. When Trump was told to reunite kids under five with their parents, he went golfing and his lawyer went dog-sitting. I need [the MoC] to RAISE BLOODY HELL about this. Because nothing less will work.

Wednesday: REUNITE the KIDS.
Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I'm calling to ask [the MoC] to demand that the Trump regime reunite all migrant children ripped from their parents IMMEDIATELY.
The Trump regime is acting in bad faith. When Thailand wanted to rescue trapped kids, they set to work and started saving lives. When Trump was told to reunite kids under five with their parents, he went golfing and his lawyer went dog-sitting. He's counting on us moving on to the next outrage. NO WAY. I need [the MoC] to RAISE BLOODY HELL about this. Because that's what you'd do if it was your kid.

Trump is Destroying Our Healthcare
Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I'm calling to ask [the MoC] to denounce the Trump attacks on the Affordable Care Act that are destroying our healthcare system.
Nearly every week, the Administration adds another attack against the structure of the Affordable Care Act. In itself, this is impeachable: the president is supposed to uphold the law, not undermine it. In the meantime, the attacks are undermining the health insurance of tens of millions. As the system crumbles, people will die. We can't fix this legislatively right now, but we can shout it from the rooftops: Trump is destroying your healthcare. I need to hear that, loud and clear, from [my MoC] this week.

Russia Owns Trump and the GOP
Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I'm calling to ask [the MoC] to denounce the capitulation of Trump and the GOP to Vladimir Putin.
Waiting for definitive proof of conspiracy is foolhardy. What's clear enough is that Trump and the GOP are doing Russia's bidding against the interests of our country. There is absolutely no doubt of this and it is treasonous.
I'm demanding that [the MoC] say this today and every day: Russia is using Trump and the GOP to attack our country. The president* and the #KremlinEight are helping. That's treason.
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/clear-and-present-danger-3
BOTH Senators
FIGHT Trump's Court Pick Tooth and Nail!
Hi, my name is _______ and I'm a constituent from zip code______ and a member of Indivisible. I'm calling to ask the Senator to fight tooth and nail against Trump's right to make a Supreme Court pick.
No president in our history, until now, has been accused of taking office through illegal means. There is every reason to believe that Trump has and that Russia is the beneficiary. It is likely that his fate will eventually be decided by the Supreme Court. Trump must NOT be allowed to hand-pick the judge who will cast the deciding vote on his own guilt. I need you to fight against Trump's pick as if your country depended on it. IT DOES. No half-measures. No backing down. FIGHT.

"Unashamed" and "Modern Kinship": Two Great Books for LGBTQ+ Christians
by Lorie Lewis Ham
This month, in honor of Pride, we are featuring several books by LGBTQ+ authors. Links at the end of this post to purchase both of these books.
When I was asked to review Modern Kinship: A Queer Guide to Christian Marriage by David and Constantino Khalaf, and Unashamed: A Coming-Out Guide For LGBTQ Christians by Amber Cantorna, I wasn't sure as a straight cisgender woman that I was equipped to do the reviews. However, I told the publisher I was willing to take a look, and my daughter, who is bi, encouraged me to go ahead and review them.
➡ switch to KingsRiverLife.com for more articles⬅
Both of these books are excellent. They are short quick reads, but with a lot of depth to them. The personal stories in both of these books not only help to show the Christian LGBTQ individual who may be reading them that they are not alone-that others have been where they've been and survived--but they also provide some great insight and food for thought. For parents and allies these books provide insights into what our friends and loved ones go through, especially those who are Christian, and I really appreciate that at the end of each chapter of Unashamed there is actually a little bit directed at parents and allies with tips on what kind of support we might be able to give.
There are heartwarming and heartbreaking stories in both books. Modern Kinship not only provides thoughts about the relationships of those in the LGBTQ community, but also for many straight men and women who have now moved away from much of the strict, conservative ideas about relationships that they were taught in church.
One of my favorite things about both books is that they made me aware of some of the things that those in the LGBTQ community go through that honestly had never crossed my mind. I hope these books have helped me become a better ally.
I highly recommend both books for fellow allies out there, and feel confident in recommending them to LGBTQ Christians as well. Both are very thoughtfully written and come from the heart. Also, I really enjoyed learning about David and Constantino's relationship journey in Modern Kinship.
Other LGBTQ+ books that we have reviewed include She's My Dad and Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag, and others over on Kings River Life in our Tales of Diversity section.

"To improve your shooting, getting the right Gun Fit is one of the most important things you can do" but this is the one thing that people, when buying a gun, will choose to ignore! Fortunately, LASERSHOT can help you achieve the Gun Fit that you need."
Getting the right shotgun fit is the first most important element of any aspect of shooting, the first basic principal is that the gun must be pointing where you think it is, this is not just a smart remark, but for a lo of us, to achieve this, it all starts with the fit of the gun. Nearly all the "off the gun rack" guns, are manufactured to suit the average person, whoever that is? Average height, average weight, average arm length, average neck length. Also, whichever country the gun is manufactured in, the sizes of Mr or Mrs Average may alter.
However if you are not Mr or Mrs Average your gun will not fit you correctly & if this is the case, the keywords here are, "FIT THE GUN TO YOU, DO NOT FIT YOU TO THE GUN". Your Gun Mount must be instinctive, if you have to wrestle with the gun to be able to fire it, not only are you losing time, but you are inevitably going to have a poor irregular gun mount, as a poor Gun Mount could be up to 80% of your misses, the need for a good Gun Fit & a good Gun Mount are essential. This makes the Drop At Comb & the Trigger Pull, the two most important dimensions to get right for a good Gunfit. Shown as items 1 & 3 below.
On the assumption that 70%+ shooters are right handed & right master eyed, point with your left hand at a small object (left handed shooters-the opposite).
Your finger will normally be just under the item you are pointing at. This is what 99% of people do naturally. Don't try & do something different when you pick up your shotgun.
You should see a little rib, then you & the shotgun will place the pattern where you are looking. LASERSHOT provides the best way to check your shotgun has been correctly fitted to you, just mount your shotgun in the usual way on a small Item in any room at home.
The diagram below shows what you should see if you have a perfect gun fitting, hitting the centre of the Pattern Plate consistently.
In our opinion regular gun fit checks for young shots are absolutely vital. If you have had children, you will know all too well how fast they grow & as they grow out of not only their shoes but their gun fit as well, this would show up more after a growth spurt.
More often than not it will be a friend or relative who will remark on how much they have grown and how quickly, parents (who are usually the young shots mentors) see this but are usually unaware of the consequences to the gun fit.
Which in turn if not corrected, will result in poor performance, lower scores, frustration & could lead to a sudden interest in video games and a lack of interest in shooting.
How LASERSHOT can help your "Perfect Sight Picture"
If you see the correct Perfect Sight Picture, (shown above) which is the image you want to see from the periphery of your vision & are firing in the centre of the Pattern, as shown, for Wing & Sporting Clays, your gun is fitted correctly.
For Trap, you may like to have the Point Of Aim raised, as is shown on the right.
A good rule of thumb is to place a pound (3.2mm or 1/8" thick) coin on the highest part of the rib near the breech while aiming the gun, if you still see the base of the foresight you are spot on! This may vary if you are a Trap Shooter, you may prefer a higher shooting picture.
If this is your sight picture your Comb is too low or your Stock is too short, possibly both & both need immediate correction, as this will lead to lifting of your head & probable shoulder bruising. You will undoubtedly be having poor bags or scores, due to poor Gunfit & poor Gunmount.
This can also lead to Eye Dominance problems, if all you can see is the back of the gun mechanism, as shown above, your brain will make your left eye take over as nothing can be seen out of the right eye.
If as a right handed shooter, you are seeing the laser firing over to the far left of the Pattern Plate your left eye is taking over, the opposite is the case for left handed shooters.
With regular practice LASERSHOT can help you overcome this problem.

Abstract: HRSA is requesting approval to collect updated statewide needs assessments from Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program awardees. The previous statewide needs assessment that was approved under OMB control number 0915–0333 has been discontinued. Eligible entities that are states, the District of Columbia, and non-profit organizations will submit statewide needs assessment updates in response to a forthcoming SIR. The MIECHV Program, authorized by section 511 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 711, and administered by HRSA in partnership with the Administration for Children and Families, supports voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services during pregnancy and to parents with young children up to kindergarten entry. States, territories, tribal entities, and in certain circumstances nonprofit organizations are eligible to receive funding through MIECHV and have the flexibility, within the parameters of the authorizing statute, to tailor the program to serve the specific needs of their communities. The statewide needs assessment is a critical and foundational resource that assists awardees in identifying and understanding how to meet the needs of eligible families living in at-risk communities in their states. After taking into consideration public comments in response to the 60-day Notice published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2018 (83 FR 17826), HRSA is proposing final revisions to the SIR guidance for the needs assessment update by making the following changes: • Inserting references to the statutory requirements for each section of the guidance—specifically the sections of statute that require an assessment of state capacity to provide substance abuse treatment and counseling services. • Increasing the burden estimate for respondents from 95.57 to 120 in response to comments that the original estimate was too low. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Congress, through enactment of the Social Security Act, Title V, Section 511 (42 U.S.C. 711), as amended, established the MIECHV Program. Section 50603 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–123) amended section 511(b)(1) of the Social Security Act, and requires that states review and update their statewide needs assessments (which may be separate from, but in coordination with, the Title V statewide E:\FR\FM\21AUN1.SGM 21AUN1 42309 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 21, 2018 / Notices needs assessment) no later than October 1, 2020. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 further establishes that conducting a MIECHV statewide needs assessment update is a condition of receiving Title V Maternal and Child Health Service (MCH) Block Grant funding; submission of the MIECHV needs assessment update in accordance with the guidance in the SIR will meet this requirement. In response to the forthcoming SIR, states will be required to submit an updated statewide needs assessment that identifies all of the following information, as required by the MIECHV authorizing statute: (1) Communities with concentrations of (a) premature birth, low-birth weight infants, and infant mortality, including infant death due to neglect, or other indicators of at-risk prenatal, maternal, newborn, or child health; (b) poverty; (c) crime; (d) domestic violence; (e) high rates of high-school drop-outs; (f) substance abuse; (g) unemployment; or (h) child maltreatment. (2) The quality and capacity of existing programs or initiatives for early childhood home visitation in the state including: The number and types of individuals and families who are receiving services under such programs or initiatives; the gaps in early childhood home visitation in the state; and the extent to which such programs or initiatives are meeting the needs of eligible families. (3) The state's capacity for providing substance abuse treatment and counseling services to individuals and families in need of such treatment or services. The forthcoming SIR will provide further guidance to states in updating their statewide needs assessments and submitting the required information to HRSA. States that have elected not to apply or be awarded MIECHV funds are encouraged to work with nonprofit organizations that have received awards to provide MIECHV services within the state and indicate whether they will submit their needs assessments directly or through the nonprofit organization awardee. Nonprofit awardees will need to provide documentation to demonstrate that they have been authorized or requested by the state in which they provide services to submit a needs assessment on behalf of the state. Documentation, such as a letter, may come from a state's Title V agency; an other health, education or human services state agency; or the governor's office. HRSA, states, and nonprofits providing MIECHV services within states will use the information collected through the needs assessment update to reaffirm the provision of MIECHV home visiting services in at-risk communities. The information will also be used to support program planning, improvement, and decision-making. The purpose of updating the statewide needs assessments is for awardees to gather more recent information on community needs and ensure that MIECHV programs are being operated in areas of high need. However, the requirement for such an update should not be construed as requiring moving MIECHV-funded home visiting programs, defunding of programs for the sole purpose of moving services to other communities, or otherwise disrupting existing home visiting programs, their relationships in the community, and their services to eligible families. The statutory requiremenets of a needs assessment update also apply to territory awardees, but this ICR does not include guidance, nor a burden estimate, for these awardees. Recognizing potential challenges related to the availability of population health data for the territories, a separate SIR will provide guidance on the needs assessment update to territories eligible to apply for MIECHV funds. Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program Awardees that are states, territories, and, where applicable, nonprofit organizations providing services within states. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions and supporting materials; to collect and analyze data; engage with stakeholders and coordinate with state level partners; and to draft and submit the report.

Update, OMB No. 0906-XXX, New.
Abstract: HRSA is requesting approval to collect updated statewide
needs assessments from Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting (MIECHV) Program awardees. The previous statewide needs
assessment that was approved under OMB control number 0915-0333 has
been discontinued. Eligible entities that are states, the District of
Columbia, and non-profit organizations will submit statewide needs
assessment updates in response to a forthcoming SIR. The MIECHV
Program, authorized by section 511 of the Social Security Act, 42
U.S.C. 711, and administered by HRSA in partnership with the
Administration for Children and Families, supports voluntary, evidence-
based home visiting services during pregnancy and to parents with young
children up to kindergarten entry. States, territories, tribal
entities, and in certain circumstances nonprofit organizations are
eligible to receive funding through MIECHV and have the flexibility,
within the parameters of the authorizing statute, to tailor the program
to serve the specific needs of their communities.
The statewide needs assessment is a critical and foundational
resource that assists awardees in identifying and understanding how to
meet the needs of eligible families living in at-risk communities in
their states.
After taking into consideration public comments in response to the
60-day Notice published in the Federal Register on April 24, 2018 (83
FR 17826), HRSA is proposing final revisions to the SIR guidance for
the needs assessment update by making the following changes:
Inserting references to the statutory requirements for
each section of the guidance--specifically the sections of statute that
require an assessment of state capacity to provide substance abuse
treatment and counseling services.
Increasing the burden estimate for respondents from 95.57
to 120 in response to comments that the original estimate was too low.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Congress, through
enactment of the Social Security Act, Title V, Section 511 (42 U.S.C.
711), as amended, established the MIECHV Program. Section 50603 of the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-123) amended section
511(b)(1) of the Social Security Act, and requires that states review
and update their statewide needs assessments (which may be separate
from, but in coordination with, the Title V statewide
needs assessment) no later than October 1, 2020. The Bipartisan Budget
Act of 2018 further establishes that conducting a MIECHV statewide
needs assessment update is a condition of receiving Title V Maternal
and Child Health Service (MCH) Block Grant funding; submission of the
MIECHV needs assessment update in accordance with the guidance in the
SIR will meet this requirement.
In response to the forthcoming SIR, states will be required to
submit an updated statewide needs assessment that identifies all of the
following information, as required by the MIECHV authorizing statute:
(1) Communities with concentrations of (a) premature birth, low-
birth weight infants, and infant mortality, including infant death due
to neglect, or other indicators of at-risk prenatal, maternal, newborn,
or child health; (b) poverty; (c) crime; (d) domestic violence; (e)
high rates of high-school drop-outs; (f) substance abuse; (g)
unemployment; or (h) child maltreatment.
(2) The quality and capacity of existing programs or initiatives
for early childhood home visitation in the state including: The number
and types of individuals and families who are receiving services under
such programs or initiatives; the gaps in early childhood home
visitation in the state; and the extent to which such programs or
initiatives are meeting the needs of eligible families.
(3) The state's capacity for providing substance abuse treatment
and counseling services to individuals and families in need of such
treatment or services.
The forthcoming SIR will provide further guidance to states in
updating their statewide needs assessments and submitting the required
information to HRSA. States that have elected not to apply or be
awarded MIECHV funds are encouraged to work with nonprofit
organizations that have received awards to provide MIECHV services
within the state and indicate whether they will submit their needs
assessments directly or through the nonprofit organization awardee.
Nonprofit awardees will need to provide documentation to demonstrate
that they have been authorized or requested by the state in which they
provide services to submit a needs assessment on behalf of the state.
Documentation, such as a letter, may come from a state's Title V
agency; an other health, education or human services state agency; or
the governor's office.
HRSA, states, and nonprofits providing MIECHV services within
states will use the information collected through the needs assessment
update to reaffirm the provision of MIECHV home visiting services in
at-risk communities. The information will also be used to support
program planning, improvement, and decision-making. The purpose of
updating the statewide needs assessments is for awardees to gather more
recent information on community needs and ensure that MIECHV programs
are being operated in areas of high need. However, the requirement for
such an update should not be construed as requiring moving MIECHV-
funded home visiting programs, defunding of programs for the sole
purpose of moving services to other communities, or otherwise
disrupting existing home visiting programs, their relationships in the
community, and their services to eligible families. The statutory
requiremenets of a needs assessment update also apply to territory
awardees, but this ICR does not include guidance, nor a burden
estimate, for these awardees. Recognizing potential challenges related
to the availability of population health data for the territories, a
separate SIR will provide guidance on the needs assessment update to
territories eligible to apply for MIECHV funds.
Likely Respondents: MIECHV Program Awardees that are states,
territories, and, where applicable, nonprofit organizations providing
services within states.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions and supporting materials; to collect and analyze data;
engage with stakeholders and coordinate with state level partners; and
to draft and submit the report. The table below summarizes the total
