T.W. Li, Producer Director
Suzanna Boelter, Project Manager
Audio is often the least considered when making a video. But without the proper equipment and care, bad sound can sink your video project. Our microphones and mixers are of the highest quality. Good sound is a high priority for us, and that's what separates the experienced from the newcomers.
We have several cameras and we know how to use them. Some are best for 4K quality, while others are best for running and gunning. Ultimately, gear is the easy part; it's our people and their skills, both technical and personal, that set us apart.
We're big believers in being well prepared. From scouting locations and casting talent, to storyboarding and pre-visualization, there's no such thing as too much planning.
Messaging & Scripting
Words are still the basic building blocks of all communication. You cannot make a good video with a bad script. Our writing starts with a deep understanding of your message and audience, and we keep it clear and concise.
Good lighting is one of the most important ingredients in a high quality video. We're experts at lighting and approach it with great care. All the people in your video deserve to look their best (not just your CEO).
Kenneth Reed, Post-Production Supervisor
Ernest J. Ramon, Image Specialist
Editing & Animation
Stellar editing and animation can make all the difference in making a good video truly terrific. We can help with both, ensuring your finished video tells the story you need it to tell.

This review is for a really cool product called Dermaflage - it is a system that allows you to cover up recessed scarring. This was a pretty hard review to do, because all of my scars are just white marks, some of them have a bit of a dent to them, but all in all they don't have much recession going on. I originally wanted to do this on my husband's acne scars, but his work schedule has been crazy lately and I've already put off this review for far too long. Then I thought I'd do my c-section scar, but that is like, barely there anymore so it's no use. So, I am going to show you how it works on my navel piercing scars - I used to have 3 piercings in a triangle shape, but the lower 2 rejected and left me with scars. Hopefully you will get the idea of how this stuff works!
You get a kit full of stuff that makes you feel like you're doing a science experiment, which is pretty neat! This makeup was created by a special effects artist, which makes sense because it essentially creates a fake skin.
Here is a before picture so you can see my scars - again, they are not recessed but they are pretty bumpy.
The first step is to use the primer on the scar - this cleans and preps the skin. It kind of smells like rubbing alcohol and looks like a nail polish bottle.
As soon as you have it smoothed out over the scar, you hold the skin texture pad on top of it for about 50 seconds. This cures the mixture so that it is no longer sticky, and adds texture to it to make it look just like your skin.
It definitely covered the white of my scar. The flash of my camera picks up some shine, but you can dust some translucent loose powder over it to stop the shine - I wouldn't recommend going over it with a colored powder foundation, as it ends up looking super cakey if you do that. They have a ton of different shades to choose from, so there really isn't a need to go over it with makeup once you find your perfect match!
I can see this being absolutely awesome for anyone with a face scar, acne scarring, etc. Obviously I'm not going to be covering up my stomach scars every day but I wanted to give everyone an idea of how it works and how you use it. It is definitely a cool makeup product to help hide scarring. I should also add that it's easy to take off - you can just start rolling it until an edge comes up, and peel it off where you smoothed it down. It is on the same idea of removing latex makeup!
I hope this review was helpful, I enjoyed testing it out and hope you'll check it out if you've been looking for something good to cover up a scar! You can use the code she20 for 20% off your order until June 17th!!

GitHub - drio/dnaism: Horizon chart js library for DNA data.
Want to be notified of new releases in drio/dnaism?
Main site here. Paper here.
Please open a ticket and we will be happy to help you.
And now point your browser to localhost:8888.
If everything went well you should see multiple horizon charts encoding the read depth for multiple genomic samples for a small region of a rhesus genome.
Dnaism is also a npm and a biojs package.
DNAism is a modified version of Cubism aimed to work with genomic data.
Cubism effectively allows you to visualize time-series data using Horizon charts. In time-series data your metrics change over time, with DNA it changes over genomic coordinates (e.g. chr17:45000).
Head to the wiki for more details on the API reference.
There are two other projects that go together with DNAism: bedserver and bedbrowser. Bedserver is a lightweight backend for the bedserver source (more on that below) and bedbrowser is a web app example that uses DNAism and bedserver.
What type of skills I need to use this software?
The library uses D3 to interact with the DOM. D3 experience would be very valuable, specially if you are planning on going beyond the basics.
What resources does this library consume?
It is not CPU intensive. Any current laptop or workstation will render the visualizations without trouble.
Data has to be loaded in the browser. If you choose to load all the visualization data points in memory your system (depending of the memory available and the region your are visualizing) may start Thrashing. To avoid that you should preprocess the regions you are visualizing and only send to the browser the data points used for rendering. That processing can happen prior to run the visualization or in realtime using the bedserver source. You can also build your own source to target your own needs.
How do I install DNAism?
NOTE: Example with real data here.
Here is a screen shot of DNAism visualizing a region of simulated random data for 23+ samples. The details of how these files are generated is here. Basically a bunch of Bed files are generated for a small region of a genome. It introduces constant values on certain intervals to allow visual validation. Then, we tell DNAism to use that context when visualizing the data.
More details can be found in the wiki and in the projects page.
The id of the sample is shown at the beginning of each chart. At the top and bottom we have the region of the genome we are visualizing.
We can appreciate the consistency in read depth across the majority of the samples (Some of them have a lower read depth across the whole genome).
Also, there are small intervals where the read depth is very low, and that is also consistent across all the samples.
Here is another example, this time showing snp density across 20 Rhesus Macaque samples on chromosome 1.

3,070 OF MIDLOTHIAN AND 2,685 OF EAST LOTHIAN HOUSEHOLDS HELPED IN TIME OF CRISIS
The Scottish Welfare Fund made 3,070 payments to people in Midlothian and 2,685 payments to people in East Lothian in the last financial year, new figures show.
A total of 520 Community Care Grants and 2,550 Crisis Grants were awarded in Midlothian, and a total of 765 Community Care Grants and 1,920 Crisis Grants were awarded in East Lothian over the year.
The money helped people with essentials such as food, heating costs and household items.
The SNP introduced the Scottish Welfare Fund in 2013. The Fund is part of a £125 million annual package to mitigate the impact of UK government austerity.
Since its launch in April 2013, the Fund has paid out more than £200 million to support over 336,000 households across Scotland, with a third of recipients being families with children.
SNP MSP Colin Beattie said:
"The Scottish Welfare Fund is a vital lifeline for many people facing poverty or personal crisis.
"The fact that so many households in Midlothian and East Lothian are in need of emergency financial help is appalling, and a sad indictment of the UK Government's record on austerity and welfare changes.
"The SNP would prefer these resources were invested directly to tackle poverty rather than protecting people from Tory austerity.
"Indeed, the UN Special Rapporteur on Poverty described it as outrageous that the Scottish Government had to divert funds to protect people from Westminster's mess.
"The SNP will continue to do everything in our power to tackle poverty and support low income families. It's time for the Tories to end their austerity agenda and stop forcing families into poverty."
DENTIST REGISTRATIONS MORE THAN DOUBLE UNDER SNP
105.6% MORE ADULTS REGISTERED WITH NHS DENTIST IN LOTHIAN
SNP MSP Colin Beattie has hailed the latest NHS figures that show NHS dentist registrations have rocketed under the SNP – with 105.6% more adults registered in Lothian since 2007.
The number of children in the Lothian registered with an NHS dentist has also risen dramatically with 90.5% now registered - a 36.1% rise since 2007.
Previous Labour and Lib Dem administrations at Holyrood over saw a decline of 1.4% in adults registered with a dentist in Lothian – while the figure for children was a decline of 1.6%.
Across Scotland there are now 107% more adults and 43% more children registered with an NHS dentist than before the SNP came into power.
Commenting, SNP MSP for Midlothian North and Musselburgh, Colin Beattie, said:
"This SNP Scottish Government has taken huge strides in improving the oral health of people in Lothian and across Scotland.
"Since the SNP came to power, efforts to increase the number of people receiving regular dental check-ups is paying off, with the number of adults registered more than doubling across Scotland.
"Here in Lothian, we've seen 105.6% more adults and 36.1% more children registered with an NHS dentist since 2007.
"Of course there's always room for improvement, and I hope to see more people in Lothian ensuring they are able to access a local NHS dentist."
2975 CHILDREN TO BE HIT BY TWO-CHILD CAP IN MIDLOTHIAN AND 2385 CHILDREN IN EAST LOTHIAN
SNP – TORY GOVERNMENT MUST SCRAP "HEARTLESS" POLICY
16.1% of the total number of children in Midlothian and 11.7% of children in East Lothian could be affected by the two-child cap, according to new research – prompting more calls for the UK Government to scrap the "heartless" policy.
The "two-child policy" allows low-income families to claim child tax credits or universal credit for their first two children only.
New research from the Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) has revealed that 160,000 families have had their income slashed by the two-child limit to-date.
The charity estimates that more than 3 million children could eventually be affected by the benefit cap.
"Social security should be a safety net for all of us, but the two-child limit is having a devastating effect on families up and down the country, with 2975 children in Midlothian and 2385 in East Lothian are set to be affected by it.
"All families are valuable and worthy of support, but this heartless policy turns people away when they most need support, and leaves children to grow up in hardship – which can have lifelong consequences for their health and wellbeing.
"The SNP government has been left to pick up the pieces, investing over £125 million to mitigate callous Tory welfare policies.
"In addition, it is introducing a Scottish Child Payment to tackle child poverty. Without the two-child cap, this payment could go so much further.
"The next Tory Prime Minister should make it a priority to tackle poverty and enable children to thrive, starting with reversing the two-child limit and horrendous 'rape clause.'"

Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia.

As the nation reels from the government shutdown, members of Congress have judiciously chosen to get yoked out of their minds at their local and exclusive gym, kept open under executive order by the Speaker of the House. Although national parks are closed and veterans' benefits are in threat of suspension, the 535 elected officials of the House of Representatives and Senate can still focus on getting swoll in their taxpayer-supported state-of the-art weight room.
The Flipside also interviewed Speaker of the House John Boehner, heavily grunting as he finished up a set at the squat rack. The Republican, brow sweaty and quadriceps bulging, scoffed, "You see Paul's scrawny legs over there? That's what happens when you skip leg day." Boehner continued to chuckle knowingly as he marched to the leg press machine and bullied Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, out of his reservation on the machine.

In 1999, Pollock becomes the second American painter to be thus commemorated (first was Norman Rockwell). The U.S. Postal Service hired an artist, one Howard Koslow, to copy the iconic Jackson Pollock image by Martha Holmes. Holmes took the photo at Pollock's studio in East Hampton, N.Y., for a LIFE magazine cover story in 1949. The photo, of course, showed the denim-clad artist, a chain smoker, pouring paint onto canvas, with a cigarette hanging languidly from his mouth. Koslow was explicitly ordered to leave out the cigarette, and despite much hoo-hah, the stamps went to press without it.

When I saw TBS shea lip butter, its cute tub and tasty fragrances intrigued me to buy it. Its comes in round tub and its handy. you'l have to use your hands everytime you apply it. I bought it with an intention that 'this is a The Body Shop product, it will be a nice moisturizing lip balm'. All that glitters is not gold….
As you see in the picture when I wear it looks white. You'l feel that you have rubbed something white on your lips. Rather than hydrating it made my lips dry. So this is definitely not a product for me. It joins the list of worst products. Its a total waste of money. Instead of curing it makes your lips worse so I don't refer it to anyone.

PUTTIN(G) ON THE RITZ
Sponsored by Women Fashion Trend 2020
"If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the ritz.
Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes and cut-a-way coats,
Puttin' on the Ritz"
The legendary Ritz Hotel located in the heart of London, makes for an exciting atmosphere of buzzing crowds. I have to admit to loving the energy created by crowds of people and so when an area is flooded with fascinating people, my day improves tenfold!
Inside the hotel is a very different matter and it could be considered a tranquil oasis in the middle
of the most vibrant city in the world.
Nothing can prepare you for when you step into The Ritz London for the first time. It welcomes you in with a warm, golden glow accompanied by the sound of grand pianos. The sheer grandeur, opulence and beauty of this legendary hotel is quite breathtaking.
Inspired by the French chateau style architecture, featuring Louis XVI décor and antique furnishings, the interior of The Ritz is just as impressive as the exterior, boasting a unique colour palette: salmon pink, rose pink, yellow and blue. Chandeliers are hung high from every ceiling, neo-classical décor is mixed with contemporary technology and the views overlook Royal Green Park and Piccadilly.
THE RITZ OPENED 1906
When The Ritz first opened its doors on 24th May 1906, it was considered one of the greatest hotels in the world. César Ritz was the Swiss hotellier who gave his name to London's Ritz (the Hôtel Ritz Paris existed eight years earlier).
In the early 20th century César Ritz's innovations for the hotel were very unique for their time. Not only because of its remarkable architecture, fine chimneys and large copper lions standing high up on the roof, but also because each guest-room had their own bathroom, walk-in wardrobes, a sophisticated ventilation system, double glazing, and beds made of brass (rather than wood). No expense was spared on its opulent interiors and lavish furnishings. This was a big step in, what was clearly, the right direction.
Inspired words, songs and movies
In the early 1900s, the Ritz surname would become a word in its own right, with 'ritz' 'ritzy' and 'ritzier' entering common parlance, meaning 'high quality, and superiority'.
The phrase 'puttin(g) on the Ritz' originates from 1911, and was later used by Irving Berlin in his 1927 song, and for the 1930 musical of the same name.
The Ritz London has been used as a filming location several times. In 1986, in Neil Jordan's movie "Mona Lisa" and in 1999, Richard Curtis' romantic comedy 'Notting Hill', starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, featured several scenes shot at The Ritz.
FAMOUS GUESTS
Quickly gaining a reputation as London's most prestigious hotel, it attracts a host of both famous and fashionable guests.
During its early years, the hotel enjoyed the patronage of The Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII) who was a loyal client of César Ritz and is reputed to have said; "Where Ritz goes, I go".
The Russian Prima Ballerina Pavlova danced there in 1912, the Aga Khan and Paul Getty had suites, and Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower and Charles de Gaulle met in the Marie Antoinette Suite to discuss operations during the Second World War.
The Ritz also became the hotel of choice for Hollywood stars. Perhaps the most memorable celebrity guest came in September 1921, when Charlie Chaplin visited from America. He was mobbed by fans outside the hotel and required around 40 policemen to escort him into the hotel. The talented Nöel Coward wrote songs within the walls of this building including 'Children of The Ritz'.
Jackie Onassis described The Ritz "it's like paradise" and
Sir Roger Moore stayed at The Ritz when he was knighted in 2003
On 14 November 2002, HM Queen Elizabeth II hosted a party on The Prince of Wales's 54th birthday in The Ritz Restaurant as a 'thank you' to her close family and friends for the success of her Jubilee year.
It was also the first hotel to which young, unmarried women were allowed to go without chaperones.
MICHELIN STAR 2016
In October 2016, The Ritz Restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in the Michelin Guide of Great Britain and Ireland 2017.
If you are looking for exceptionally high standards and an exquisitely luxurious experience to celebrate a special occasion, you must indulge in a slice of one of the finest British traditions and take Afternoon Tea at The Ritz.
Served in the spectacular Palm Court with glittering chandeliers and elegant mirrors, complemented by a musical ensemble from a pianist and harpist.
The entire experience is seamless from beginning to end, with the afternoon tea being served within ten minutes of sitting down, complete with champagne, finger sandwiches, scones (with clotted cream and jam), sweet treats and extra confectionery.
An exquisite selection of finely cut sandwiches, freshly baked scones with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry preserve, and a mouth-watering range of pastries and teacakes, which is replenished on request. Yes you read this right, it's a lux edition of eat all you can!
Now for the take away box of cakes and exquisite sandwiches to take home with you! After you've finished working your way through the afternoon tea, you're able to take anything left home with you. Mmm.
DEDICATED MAGAZINE
The Ritz has its own dedicated magazine. You can read it here. If you would like a physical copy, you might have to be a guest, or at least buy a cocktail.
I hope you enjoyed getting to know the famous London Ritz.
If you're also a superfan of indulging in the occasional afternoon tea here and there, be sure to take a peek at the unforgettable Ritz experience.

What can I expect from sessions at Brookvale Psychology?
Provide an assessment. When commencing therapy, you will receive an assessment to ensure you receive the treatment that is most suitable for you.
Address your concerns. Good therapy involves being truly listened to. Through the process of sharing your concerns with an expert in listening, you can express your feelings in a safe environment, freeing yourself up for change.
Gain new perspectives and skills. Looking at issues you have been struggling with through a new lens can help build self-awareness and help to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Sessions also focus on developing effective strategies and practical skills to help create a more peaceful, balanced state of mind.
Build and maintain a good therapeutic relationship. Research shows that a good rapport with your therapist is a significant factor in psychological improvement. Our team are keenly aware of the role that a good therapeutic relationship has in creating positive therapeutic outcomes and we focuses on creating this with all of our clients.
The rebate for seeing a clinical psychologist is $124.50 per session and the rebate for seeing a psychologist is $84.80 from Medicare for 10 sessions per calendar year. A further rebate may also apply for those who have reached the Medicare safety net. Brookvale Psychology provides instant Medicare claiming so you can access your rebate immediately.
Therapy appointments are 50 minutes.
Brookvale Psychology offers a range of appointment times including week days, after hours and also Saturday appointments. Please Contact Us to check availability.
Existing clients can make or change appointments with their psychologist through our Client Portal on the Contact Us page.
The first session is called an assessment session where your psychologist gets to know, in detail, about your presenting problem, about yourself and relevant parts of your life history.
Whilst the assessment session is not a specific treatment session, many people feel relief from this initial session through the process of talking about and expressing their concerns with a skilled and caring listener.
As your concern will be different from the next, it is difficult to precisely say how many sessions will be needed. Some people will benefit from a short-term therapy (5 to 15 sessions) whilst others will find longer-term therapy more helpful. Weekly sessions are recommended initially if you are feeling intensely distressed. As you begin to improve, sessions can be held fortnightly or monthly. For others, fortnightly sessions work well from the beginning.
At Brookvale Psychology we try hard to avoid cancellation fees. Text reminders are sent 3 business days prior to your appointment. As we often have a waiting list to see our psychologists, we appreciate the opportunity to offer any available appointments to clients on the waitlist. If less than 48 hours notice is given for cancelling an appointment, or if you do not attend your appointment, a cancellation fee is applied.
How can I manage my appointments?
We understand that at times appointments may need to be changed. As such we have a Client Portal which is an easy way to manage your appointments. The Client Portal which can be accessed here, or on our website menu, allows existing clients to see the list of their appointments and their psychologist's availability. After creating a login you can add, change or remove appointments with ease through the Client Portal.

The community was successful in having this decision revoked.[citation needed] The unit employs 100 military personnel and 900 civilian contractors.[175]
Five hurricanes have directly affected Brevard since 1950: David (3 September 1979); Erin (2 August 1995) – made landfall near Sebastian Inlet and caused mostly minor wind damage and more extensive flooding countywide; Charley (13 August 2004) – caused damage in Titusville and North Brevard; Frances (3 September 2004) – struck neighboring Vero Beach in Indian River County directly and caused widespread wind damage throughout Brevard;[30] and Jeanne (26 September 2004) – struck Vero Beach directly, following very nearly the same path as Frances. The latter two storms caused widespread damage in South Brevard, and resulted in $2.8 billion in claim payments.[31] Slightly more than half of one percent (0.6%) of houses were lost.[32]
In the early 2010s, the Shiloh area was proposed by Space Florida as a potential location for the development of a commercial-only spaceport. Located immediately north of the U.S. Government's Kennedy Space Center, the open access to the flyover range on the open Atlantic Ocean to the east, and easy access to the tracking facilities of the Eastern Test Range make the location an attractive launch site. Among other potential users of the commercial spaceport facility, SpaceX was reported to be considering Shiloh as one of several potential locations for building a commercial launch facility.[173]
There are 250 square miles (650 km2) of federally protected wildlife refuges.[40] These lands include Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Canaveral National Seashore, the St. Johns National Wildlife Refuge, the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, several conservation areas managed by the St. Johns River Water Management District, Brevard County's Environmentally Endangered Lands Program Sanctuaries,[41] and lands dedicated by the State as conservation areas.

A multiple listing service (MLS, also multiple listing system or multiple listings service) is a suite of services that real estate brokers use to establish contractual offers of compensation (among brokers) and accumulate and disseminate information to enable appraisals. A multiple listing service's database and software is used by real estate brokers in real estate (or aircraft broker[citation needed] in other industries for example), representing sellers under a listing contract to widely share information about properties with other brokers who may represent potential buyers or wish to work with a seller's broker in finding a buyer for the property or asset. The listing data stored in a multiple listing service's database is the proprietary information of the broker who has obtained a listing agreement with a property's seller.

"Jason has represented me for 2 buy-side transactions (so far). I'm an out-of-state buyer, and Jason helped me navigate the process without me having to actually be there in person. Jason is very responsive–on email, phone, and text; and he went above-and-beyond whenever I asked for a favor. I ended up leveraging his network to remodel one of my houses, and everyone (plumber, electrician, roofer, etc) worked out flawlessly. Jason's local knowledge really shines, and he's really in tune with the local inner workings–finding listings before they are actually listings, for example. I highly recommend Jason; you'd be hard-pressed to find a more diligent, honest, and knowledgeable agent"

A post chaplain in the Army of the United States, commissioned by the President under the Act of March 2, 1867, c. 145, § 7, is entitled, in computing his longevity pay under the Act of July 15, 1870, c. 294, § 24 (Rev.Stat. § 1262), to be credited with his service as a chaplain, employed by the officers composing the council of administration at a military post approved by the Secretary of War, under the Act of July 5, 1838, c. 162, § 18, and the acts supplementary thereto.
On February 6, 1865, the claimant was elected and appointed chaplain for the post of Fort Columbus, New York Harbor, by the council of administration at the post under the provisions of the Act of July 5, 1838, c. 162, § 18, and of the supplementary acts of July 7, 1838, c.194, § 2, March 2, 1849, c. 83, § 3, and February 21, 1857, c. 55, § 2, 5 Stat. 259, 308; 9 Stat. 351; , 11 Stat. 163.
"Fort Columbus, New York Harbor, is announced as a chaplain post to date from February 6, 1865, in place of Fort Wood, New York Harbor, discontinued as such from that date. The Reverend James A. M. La Tourrette is announced as post chaplain to Fort Columbus, New York Harbor, from February 6, 1865. He will, in connection with his present duties at Fort Columbus, perform also those of Fort Wood, as heretofore. "
Under that appointment, he served until April 6, 1867, but received no commission. It did not appear that he was required to take an oath of office, his employment was not for any fixed or definite time, and he was paid for services on the certificate of the post commander.
Under the provisions of the Act of March 2, 1867, c. 145, § 7, 14 Stat. 423, he was nominated by the President to the Senate for appointment as post chaplain March 18, confirmed by the Senate April 3, commissioned accordingly by the President April 6, to rank from April 3, and formally accepted the appointment April 27, 1867. On March 23, 1890, he was retired from active service as post chaplain under the Act of June 30, 1882, c. 254, 22 Stat. 118.
His service as chaplain under the Act of July 5, 1838, together with his service as post chaplain under the Act of March 2, 1867, was continuous and uninterrupted from February 6, 1865, to March 23, 1890.
He was not borne on the Army register before 1867. In the registers from 1867 to 1878, inclusive, his name appears, with the date of "original entry into service," April 3, 1867. The registers from 1879 to 1881, inclusive, refer to that date as "date of commission," and these registers, as well as those for 1882 and since, record the beginning of his service as chaplain of a post February 6, 1865, and as post chaplain, April 3, 1867, accepted April 27, 1867.
From April 27, 1867, to March 23, 1890, he was paid his salary with longevity pay, computed for the most part by crediting him with his service from February 6, 1865, but since February 6, 1885, with his service from April 27, 1867, only. If he is to receive credit for the time from February 6, 1865, to April 26, 1867, the longevity pay due him is the sum of $333.75 more than he has received.
On these facts, the Court of Claims decided, as a conclusion of law, "that the decedent, during his service from February 6, 1865, to April 26, 1867, was in the Army of the United States within the meaning of the law," and therefore entitled to recover the sum claimed, and gave judgment accordingly. The United States appealed to this Court.
"there shall be allowed and paid to each commissioned officer below the rank of brigadier-general, including chaplains and others having assimilated rank or pay, ten percentum of their current yearly pay for each term of five years of service."
16 Stat. 320; Rev.Stat. § 1262.
"Service" in this statute evidently, as both parties admit, means military service, and the question is whether the claimant was in that service from February 6, 1865, to April 26, 1867.
"it shall be lawful for the officers composing the council of administration at any post from time to time, to employ such person as they may think proper to officiate as chaplain, who shall also perform the duties of schoolmaster at such post, and the person so employed shall, on the certificate of the commanding officer of the post be paid such sum for his services, not exceeding forty dollars per month, as may be determined by the said council of administration, with the approval of the Secretary of War, and, in addition to his pay, the said chaplain shall be allowed four rations per diem with quarters and fuel."
"the posts at which chaplains shall be allowed shall be limited to the number of twenty, and shall be first approved by the Secretary of War, and shall be confined to places most destitute of instruction."
with Mexico, it shall be lawful for the officers composing the councils of administration of the several regiments constituting a brigade, either regular or volunteer, in the service of the United States to employ some proper person to officiate as chaplain to such brigade . . . provided that the chaplains now attached to the regular Army and stationed at different military posts may, at the discretion of the Secretary of War, be required to repair to the Army in Mexico whenever a majority of the men at the posts where they are respectively stationed shall have left them for service in the field, and should any of said chaplains refuse or decline to do this when ordered so to do by the adjutant-general, the office of such chaplain shall be deemed vacant, and the pay and emoluments thereof be stopped."
By § 3 of the Act of March 2, 1849, c. 83, entitled "An act to provide for an increase of the medical staff, and for an additional number of chaplains of the Army of the United States," the provisions of the act of 1838 "are extended so as to authorize the employment of ten additional chaplains for military posts of the United States." 9 Stat. 351.
"that the Secretary of War be authorized, on the recommendation of the council of administration, to extend the additional pay herein provided to any person serving as chaplain at any post of the Army."
"the compensation of all chaplains in the regular or volunteer service or Army hospitals shall be one hundred dollars per month and two rations a day when on duty; . . . chaplains employed at the military posts called 'chaplains' posts' shall be required to reside at the posts, and all chaplains in the United States service shall be subject to such rules in relation to leave of absence from duty as are prescribed for commissioned officers of the United States Army stationed at such posts."
"it shall be the duty of chaplains in the military service of the United States to make monthly reports to the adjutant-general of the Army, through the usual military channels, of the moral condition and general history of the regiments, hospitals or posts to which they may be attached."
These acts, all of which were passed before the period in question, unequivocally show that such chaplains as the claimant was during that period, being employed, by the officers composing the council of administration at the post to officiate as chaplain, and actually serving as such at a military post of the United States, with the approval of the Secretary of War; receiving monthly for their services a sum approved by him, and allowed, in addition to their pay, rations and quarters; subject to the same rules as to leave of absence from duty as commissioned officers of the Army; required to report monthly to the adjutant-general of the Army through the usual military channels, and called indifferently "chaplains attached to the regular Army and stationed at military posts," or "chaplains of the Army of the United States," should be considered, according to the understanding and intention of Congress, as holding the office and rank of chaplain in the Army, and consequently as in the military service, within the meaning of the longevity pay act.
Moreover, the Act of March 2, 1867, c. 145, § 7, under which the claimant was afterwards commissioned, by providing that "the post chaplains now in service," as well as those thereafter to be appointed, should be commissioned by the President, distinctly recognized that the former were already in "service," which, in this act, as in the longevity pay act, clearly means the military service of the United States. 14 Stat. 423.


← What are letting agents worth?
Is this the start of a house price crash?
At least I doubt it, but there are certainly indications that the inevitability of house price growth, which has been a defining feature of the many local markets over recent years has had its day.
According to the Halifax, house prices fell in April 2017 and are approximately £3k below their 2016 high-point.
The report (of a 0.1 per cent fall in April and 0.2 per cent down for the quarter) is supported by similar data released by Nationwide suggesting that prices fell by as much as 0.4 per cent.
The figures demonstrate, that after a number of years of significant and fairly rapid growth, housing demand has slowed to the point that price appreciation has been largely negated.
Of course, despite the decline over the last three months, the annual change figure is still very much in the black. Whilst this represents the lowest annual increase in four years, the Halifax reported a 3.8 per cent increase – year-on-year – to the end of April 2017.
Supply is still low. This means that in the short to medium term continued increases remain likely. In fact according to the RICS the volume of properties coming onto the sales market has fallen for 13 straight months (to the end of March 2017). Stock is therefore at an historic low.
Optimistically, this should suggest that letting agents' can expect to stay busy for the time being as households unable to find a home to buy continue to rent.
At the same time markets tend to be subdued during periods of uncertainty, like election campaigns, potentially bolstering demand for short-term rental accommodation.

Killer whales in the Aleutian Islands
We also conduct research on killer whales in waters off western Alaska, specifically around the Alaska Peninsula, Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea. Research includes:
Gray whale killers: We study an aggregation of transient killer whales that gather each year in May/June to prey on gray whale calves as they migrate northwards with their mothers around the Alaska Peninsula into the Bering Sea. This aggregation likely consumes a significant portion of the total calf production of the gray whale population in the eastern North Pacific. See Killer Whales Earn Their Name.
Photo: Killer whale and gray whale at False Pass
Predation on northern Fur Seals: Later in the summer, northern fur seals are a significant component of the diet for transient killer whales, and we have studied this predatory interaction in the eastern Aleutian Islands and in the Bering Sea around the Pribilof Islands.
Resident killer whales along the Aleutian chain: Our photo-identification studies have revealed one of the world's largest population of killer whales, specifically fish-eating Resident killer whales that forage in the productive waters around the Aleutian Islands. These whales interact and compete with some of the largest commercial fisheries in US waters.

Devil's Claw is the name given to a wild-harvested plant found in certain areas of southern Africa which has anti-inflammatory properties of particular benefit to the elderly (for example in the treatment of arthritis). It has been estimated that there are approximately 10,000 gatherers of Devil's Claw in southern Africa who are also among the poorest and most vulnerable of its communities. Furthermore, a value chain has formed over time which seems to have resulted not only in significantly reduced terms of trade for the gatherers but also environmental degradation as a result of over harvesting.
In 2003 a group of government and non-state representatives formed the Devil's Range State Working Group (DRSWG) comprising representatives from the Kalahari eco-zone: Namibia, Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe and RTFP is now working with them to promote improved livelihoods for the gatherers through enhancements in the value chain for their product.
This paper is a feasibility study, which was carried out and which identified what causes low prices at the level of the harvester and what might be done to promote a value chain which is more equitable. A secondary objective of the feasibility study was to better understand how the power and governance of value chains limits the potential benefits of regional and international trade integration.
Initial conclusions were that value chains should be upgraded and traceability systems introduced through 'stewardship' contracts entered into between regional exporters, traders, permit issuing authorities and harvesters. The enforcement of sustainable harvesting on a rotational basis will also be important and it may be necessary to agree a limit on the supply if the region's harvesters are to have any influence on the buyers.

So next week I'll be in New York to tape three episodes of Guiding Light.
That's right, I'm a soap opera actor. At least a few times a year.
Hoover's the name -- Roc Hoover. Private eye and crime novelist. The producers of the show recently told me my character is getting a "back story."
"That's great!" I said. "Awesome."
And when I was done talking with them, I called a friend and said, "What's a back story?"
I'm still new to show biz. It's fascinating. I'll get my scripts on Friday and shoot them the next week. They shoot 80 pages a day -- you're expected to absorb it and just do it. I'm told a movie will shoot maybe five pages a day.
The soaps don't have a lot of time. The first time I did this, I had maybe 10 or 12 lines, and we finished and they said, "That was great." And they started moving on to the next scene.
I'm was standing there saying, "You know, I think I could do it a lot better if we could do it one more time…" But they were like, "No, that was fine, let's move on."
Which is good, probably. If we did more takes, I'd probably start "acting." I never want it to look like I'm acting. I want it to be conversational and to just be me. And as long as you get the gist of your lines, it doesn't have to be verbatim.
Same with ESPN. I don't read prompters, I don't write a lot of notes. Maybe I'll have a key word written on a piece of paper.
Regardless of what I'm doing, I want to be authentic. That is a real key to success in every walk of life. If you're authentic, people pick up on that, they appreciate that. They're drawn to authenticity. That's why someone like John Kruk on Baseball Tonight is so popular. You know he's real, you know he's honest.
I want people to know my flaws and weaknesses, know that I'm not perfect. I don't want to preach from the pulpit. I want them to know the real person.
It even extends to my workouts. I don't need to go into the gym with a tight tank top on, like, "Hey, check me out."
It drives me nuts to see a guy with matching stripes on his shirt and shorts -- that super-tight T-shirt guy. I'm sitting there going, "You're working way too hard, brother."
I go in there looking like a wreck. I don't go to the gym to make a fashion statement. I go to sweat and accomplish something.
I walked into the 24 Hour Fitness club near my home the other day and this woman says, "You don't look the same as you do on TV. Take off your hat."
My hair was all greased-up and I hadn't shaved in 3 days. I said, "When I'm on TV, I shower and put a suit on. I'm required to do that. This is me; you get what you get."
Does that mean I'm being a phony on TV? No. Just because I clean up real good doesn't mean I'm not authentic. I think I can act on Guiding Light and still be authentic.
Heck, I've been acting for a long, long time. I've been acting like I don't know how to pick up laundry or do dishes for years.

DYCD opens early application process for city's summer youth employment program
Applications for Summer Youth Employment are being accepted now until March 17.
Teens looking to make money this summer – listen up! Planning ahead could help land you a job that pays you $11-an-hour.
New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) announced that applications are open for the 2017 Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) through Friday, March 17, 2017.
The application process was launched earlier this year to give New Yorkers additional time to plan for summer.
City residents ages 14-24 can apply for the summer job lottery for the program, which runs from July 5 through August 19.
How to apply and how to become a worksite:
Applications can be completed online or at a participating community-based organization during the application period. Online applications are available at the DYCD website ( www.nyc.gov/dycd ).
Updates will also be posted to DYCD's Facebook , Twitter and Instagram sites. For more information, call 311 or DYCD Youth Connect (1-800-246-4646).
Employers and worksites looking to support New York City's youth employment programs, including SYEP, should go to the Center for Youth Employment's website ( www.nyc.gov/cye ). Interested employers can also email the Mayor's Fund at fund@cityhall.nyc.gov for details.
More information on SYEP:
SYEP is the nation's largest summer youth employment initiative, and since 1963 has provided New York City young people between the ages of 14 and 24 with up to six weeks of entry-level experience at worksites in all five boroughs.
Last summer, a record 60,113 participants were employed at more than 10,000 worksites.
With the support of the Center for Youth Employment, the City more than doubled the number of Ladders for Leaders internships (1,538) and opportunities for young people who are homeless, court-involved or in foster care (3,050).
SYEP participants are compensated for their work at diverse worksites that include government agencies, hospitals, summer camps, nonprofits, small businesses, law firms, museums, sports enterprises and retail. Specialized programming for disabled, foster care, runaway/homeless and court-involved young people are also available. SYEP offers workshops on job readiness, career exploration and financial literacy, and opportunities to continue education and social growth.
As part of a national effort to encourage young people to save and make healthy financial choices, SYEP participants have the option to receive their wages via direct deposit to a bank account of their choice.
Youth who signed up for direct deposit and/or opened savings accounts are eligible to receive over 2,000 rewards deposited to their accounts ranging from $25-$500.
Last summer, more than 16,000 young people signed up for direct deposit accounts, a 200 percent increase since 2014.
The multi-year initiative is funded by the Cities for Financial Empowerment (CFE) and the Citi Foundation
Ladders for Leaders is an employer-paid internship component of SYEP for youth aged 16-22.
Studies show that SYEP improves school attendance, offers new skills, reduces incarceration rates and keeps teens and young adults safe—including youth who wouldn't otherwise have access to paying jobs.
In 2015, Mayor de Blasio, First Lady Chirlane McCray and the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City launched the NYC Center for Youth Employment, a public-private initiative charged with helping to expand the City's employment services for young New Yorkers, including SYEP.
The Center for Youth Employment's specific goal is to support 100,000 unique work-related experiences each year, including high-quality summer jobs, career exposure, skills-building, and supportive mentorships, by 2020.
In collaboration with City agencies, employers and other stakeholders, the Center for Youth Employment is focused on increasing private sector involvement in these programs as well as evaluating the City's youth workforce system as a whole, with an eye toward expanding effective programs and filling in gaps.
