The link is the alleged text of the Treaty of Peace signed in Paris 1783. If one reads it one may notice something peculiar : the alleged loser of the war is dictating the terms of peace. Since when can a loser tell the victor what to do?
Avalon Project - British-American Diplomcay : The Paris Peace Treaty of September 30, 1783
The Definitive Treaty of Peace 1783
In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity.
It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the hearts of the most serene and most potent Prince George the Third, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, arch-treasurer and prince elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc., and of the United States of America, to forget all past misunderstandings and differences that have unhappily interrupted the good correspondence and friendship which they mutually wish to restore, and to establish such a beneficial and satisfactory intercourse , between the two countries upon the ground of reciprocal advantages and mutual convenience as may promote and secure to both perpetual peace and harmony; and having for this desirable end already laid the foundation of peace and reconciliation by the Provisional Articles signed at Paris on the 30th of November 1782, by the commissioners empowered on each part, which articles were agreed to be inserted in and constitute the Treaty of Peace proposed to be concluded between the Crown of Great Britain and the said United States, but which treaty was not to be concluded until terms of peace should be agreed upon between Great Britain and France and his Britannic Majesty should be ready to conclude such treaty accordingly; and the treaty between Great Britain and France having since been concluded, his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, in order to carry into full effect the Provisional Articles above mentioned, according to the tenor thereof, have constituted and appointed, that is to say his Britannic Majesty on his part, David Hartley, Esqr., member of the Parliament of Great Britain, and the said United States on their part, John Adams, Esqr., late a commissioner of the United States of America at the court of Versailles, late delegate in Congress from the state of Massachusetts, and chief justice of the said state, and minister plenipotentiary of the said United States to their high mightinesses the States General of the United Netherlands; Benjamin Franklin, Esqr., late delegate in Congress from the state of Pennsylvania, president of the convention of the said state, and minister plenipotentiary from the United States of America at the court of Versailles; John Jay, Esqr., late president of Congress and chief justice of the state of New York, and minister plenipotentiary from the said United States at the court of Madrid; to be plenipotentiaries for the concluding and signing the present definitive treaty; who after having reciprocally communicated their respective full powers have agreed upon and confirmed the following articles.
Article 1: His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.
Article 2: And that all disputes which might arise in future on the subject of the boundaries of the said United States may be prevented, it is hereby agreed and declared, that the following are and shall be their boundaries, viz.; from the northwest angle of Nova Scotia, viz., that angle which is formed by a line drawn due north from the source of St. Croix River to the highlands; along the said highlands which divide those rivers that empty themselves into the river St. Lawrence, from those which fall into the Atlantic Ocean, to the northwesternmost head of Connecticut River; thence down along the middle of that river to the forty-fifth degree of north latitude; from thence by a line due west on said latitude until it strikes the river Iroquois or Cataraquy; thence along the middle of said river into Lake Ontario; through the middle of said lake until it strikes the communication by water between that lake and Lake Erie; thence along the middle of said communication into Lake Erie, through the middle of said lake until it arrives at the water communication between that lake and Lake Huron; thence along the middle of said water communication into Lake Huron, thence through the middle of said lake to the water communication between that lake and Lake Superior; thence through Lake Superior northward of the Isles Royal and Phelipeaux to the Long Lake; thence through the middle of said Long Lake and the water communication between it and the Lake of the Woods, to the said Lake of the Woods; thence through the said lake to the most northwesternmost point thereof, and from thence on a due west course to the river Mississippi; thence by a line to be drawn along the middle of the said river Mississippi until it shall intersect the northernmost part of the thirty-first degree of north latitude, South, by a line to be drawn due east from the determination of the line last mentioned in the latitude of thirty-one degrees of the equator, to the middle of the river Apalachicola or Catahouche; thence along the middle thereof to its junction with the Flint River, thence straight to the head of Saint Mary's River; and thence down along the middle of Saint Mary's River to the Atlantic Ocean; east, by a line to be drawn along the middle of the river Saint Croix, from its mouth in the Bay of Fundy to its source, and from its source directly north to the aforesaid highlands which divide the rivers that fall into the Atlantic Ocean from those which fall into the river Saint Lawrence; comprehending all islands within twenty leagues of any part of the shores of the United States, and lying between lines to be drawn due east from the points where the aforesaid boundaries between Nova Scotia on the one part and East Florida on the other shall, respectively, touch the Bay of Fundy and the Atlantic Ocean, excepting such islands as now are or heretofore have been within the limits of the said province of Nova Scotia.
Article 3: It is agreed that the people of the United States shall continue to enjoy unmolested the right to take fish of every kind on the Grand Bank and on all the other banks of Newfoundland, also in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and at all other places in the sea, where the inhabitants of both countries used at any time heretofore to fish. And also that the inhabitants of the United States shall have liberty to take fish of every kind on such part of the coast of Newfoundland as British fishermen shall use, (but not to dry or cure the same on that island) and also on the coasts, bays and creeks of all other of his Brittanic Majesty's dominions in America; and that the American fishermen shall have liberty to dry and cure fish in any of the unsettled bays, harbors, and creeks of Nova Scotia, Magdalen Islands, and Labrador, so long as the same shall remain unsettled, but so soon as the same or either of them shall be settled, it shall not be lawful for the said fishermen to dry or cure fish at such settlement without a previous agreement for that purpose with the inhabitants, proprietors, or possessors of the ground.
Article 4: It is agreed that creditors on either side shall meet with no lawful impediment to the recovery of the full value in sterling money of all bona fide debts heretofore contracted.

And that persons of any other decription shall have free liberty to go to any part or parts of any of the thirteen United States and therein to remain twelve months unmolested in their endeavors to obtain the restitution of such of their estates, rights, and properties as may have been confiscated; and that Congress shall also earnestly recommend to the several states a reconsideration and revision of all acts or laws regarding the premises, so as to render the said laws or acts perfectly consistent not only with justice and equity but with that spirit of conciliation which on the return of the blessings of peace should universally prevail. And that Congress shall also earnestly recommend to the several states that the estates, rights, and properties, of such last mentioned persons shall be restored to them, they refunding to any persons who may be now in possession the bona fide price (where any has been given) which such persons may have paid on purchasing any of the said lands, rights, or properties since the confiscation.
And it is agreed that all persons who have any interest in confiscated lands, either by debts, marriage settlements, or otherwise, shall meet with no lawful impediment in the prosecution of their just rights.
Article 6: That there shall be no future confiscations made nor any prosecutions commenced against any person or persons for, or by reason of, the part which he or they may have taken in the present war, and that no person shall on that account suffer any future loss or damage, either in his person, liberty, or property; and that those who may be in confinement on such charges at the time of the ratification of the treaty in America shall be immediately set at liberty, and the prosecutions so commenced be discontinued.
Article 7: There shall be a firm and perpetual peace between his Brittanic Majesty and the said states, and between the subjects of the one and the citizens of the other, wherefore all hostilities both by sea and land shall from henceforth cease. All prisoners on both sides shall be set at liberty, and his Brittanic Majesty shall with all convenient speed, and without causing any destruction, or carrying away any Negroes or other property of the American inhabitants, withdraw all his armies, garrisons, and fleets from the said United States, and from every post, place, and harbor within the same; leaving in all fortifications, the American artilery that may be therein; and shall also order and cause all archives, records, deeds, and papers belonging to any of the said states, or their citizens, which in the course of the war may have fallen into the hands of his officers, to be forthwith restored and delivered to the proper states and persons to whom they belong.
Article 8: The navigation of the river Mississippi, from its source to the ocean, shall forever remain free and open to the subjects of Great Britain and the citizens of the United States.
Article 9: In case it should so happen that any place or territory belonging to Great Britain or to the United States should have been conquered by the arms of either from the other before the arrival of the said Provisional Articles in America, it is agreed that the same shall be restored without difficulty and without requiring any compensation.
Article 10: The solemn ratifications of the present treaty expedited in good and due form shall be exchanged between the contracting parties in the space of six months or sooner, if possible, to be computed from the day of the signatures of the present treaty. In witness whereof we the undersigned, their ministers plenipotentiary, have in their name and in virtue of our full powers, signed with our hands the present definitive treaty and caused the seals of our arms to be affixed thereto.
Done at Paris, this third day of September in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three.

This "Peace Treaty" definitely raising a few questions to say the least. Thank you @Onijunbei for bringing it to our attention.
Painting of the American delegations at the Treaty of Paris. The British delegation refused to pose, and the painting was never completed, 1783–1784.
Interesting, the never completed painting has been completed at some point. The question is why it was never completed (the real version), and why they chose to finish it?
In other words, who was on the painting before it was "never completed"? Any guesses?

So, the goof that painted this unfinished work.... he was born in the U.S. in 1738. He was a full on 'true American'. Why wouldn't he just do whatever he wanted, just paint the British idiots in there. They were murdering each other with bayonets, for cryin out loud! God forbid he'd paint them in, surely wouldn't want to offend their honor. And of course, he died in his house in London. On what day, you ask? Oh, March 11. Argh, the numbers!
Sidenote, I enjoy their use of the word 'computed' in Article 10. It's a rarity.

I wanted to expand on the initial premise but I'm doing this from my phone. I attached files, switched tabs for a minute, and half of the new writing went bye bye. And I had no idea the post would bring out questions of the painting.
The four signers of the Treaty of Peace are all esquires, titles that could have been taken away by any Lord that didn't like the Americans. And they had to practice under British Common Law and Maritime Law. The Colonies were always under contract: The first Virginia Charter of 1606 established the initial contract...
The Avalon Project : The First Charter of Virginia; April 10, 1606
If one reads it the colonies were to be held in perpetuity... forever... by the King his heirs and successors. The word license shows up quite a bit.. The first licensure being awarded to The Virginia Company of London and The Virginia Company of Plymouth. Both were joint stock companies.
Throughout the Revolt the states borrowed 18 million from France. The payment schedule appears in 1782.
The Avalon Project : Contract between the King and the Thirteen United States of North America.
I couldn't find any other repayment schedule.. But I did notice in the above contract the mention of the Netherlands and florins from Holland.
In 1783 we have yet another contract appearing involving the repayment of 6 million to France
The Avalon Project : Contract between the King and the Thirteen United States of North America February 25, 1783
We then see a quasi war with France from 1791-1800. How convenient the death of the French king in 1793. According to memory the United States doesn't pay off its war debts until the 1840s. Who is getting the money?
There is only one player left in the game... The King of Britain.
When the US tried to play dumb in 1812, the King came back, sacked DC, burnt the White House, rummaged through all the court houses and document centers, took what they wanted, and then left. The poor lads in New Orleans didn't know the war was over... but we got a great song out of it. "in 1814 we took a little trip...". Many speculate the war was caused by the original 13th amendment and not rechartering the First Bank of the United States, which most likely was settling the King's debt.
The King made the colonies pay back every schilling he spent on the Revolt.
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity is the main motto we see during the French Revolution. Speculation presumes its ties to Freemasonry. The Sons of Liberty would be a driving force for colonial revolution in America. As a side note, Liberty is permission to leave the ship in the Navy. You have to get "permission" to acquire liberty.
Its peculiar that France doesn't have the funds to protect itself from Revolution because most of its coffers goes to aid the colonies... The colonies do some how have the funds to purchase Louisiana from Napoleon even while paying back its massive debt to Britain. Its peculiar how many of the founding fathers were apart of Masonic lodges. Benjamin Franklin was a triple agent and a member of the Hellfire Club and recent excavations of his home finds the skeletons of many a children. Its peculiar how the monarchs of Europe disappear yet the English one remains.
As a side note, a researcher went to England (I believe the historical records library at Cambridge) to view their copy of the Treaty of Peace.. Some of the punctuation is different showing the King as Arch Treasurer of the United States...
If that doesn't make sense go back over the initial charter of Virginia... The charter that has no end...

Even tho England (King & Parliament) lost the war, there are universal war codes to follow, especially in regard to titled land/property. England was the legitimate land owners of the old English colonies.
Today, only one of those articles are still standing. Can you guess which one?

They didn't lose the war... Because it wasn't a war... It was a revolt under International Law... The aristocracy had no intention of leaving England...it was a contract dispute. Under the initial contract the colonies could coin and print money to facilitate trade. The Currency Act of Parliament in the 1750s put a real damper on the colonists.
There are videos and web sites that are showing how most of the presidents are related to one another and how they are related to British kings..

Informative and interesting OP. For those of us who are directionally challenged, I'd like to see an outline map of the borders mentioned in Article 2. Looks like Britain gets half of our Northeastern rivers but without a visual aid I couldn't be sure. Three of our guys and the king with assistant signs an international peace treaty for "all perpetuity"? France is included in that but I don't see any representative from France signing the treaty unless King George speaks for them as well. He IS listed as "King of France" in his titles so I guess he'll do in speaking for all France.
I wouldn't go so far as to say Britain dictated the terms of peace/surrender. At least my reading of the treaty doesn't give that impression but more of a truce/terms of cease fire treaty. They were all countrymen, after all. The Federal Reserve is a British Corporation and I suppose that whoever controls the money/currency of a country controls the country (paraphrasing Alexander Hamilton).
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, OP. Good stuff.

If you feel hopelessly burdened with insurmountable debt, then Bankruptcy may be your solution.
There are many different forms of bankruptcy, such as Chapter 11 for businesses, Chapter 12 for farmers and fishermen, but for most consumers you will be concerned with only these two: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
Chapter 7 is a "liquidation" proceeding. In theory, you turn over all your property to the bankruptcy trustee who converts it to cash and distributes the proceeds to the creditors. In return, you are granted a discharge from all your eligible debts. In the vast majority of cases, however, you will be able to claim an exemption to most or all of your assets, and most chapter 7 debtors never actually give up any property at all. The "discharge" from the court eliminates all legal obligations to repay those debts. From start to finish, most Chapter 7 bankruptcies are concluded in about four or five months, and never require an appearance in court, so Chapter 7 gives a debtor a relatively quick and easy "fresh start." Click here for more on Chapter 7.
people who are not eligible for Chapter 7 because they earn too much income.
individuals who cannot exempt all their property and want to keep it.
people with debts which are not eligible for a discharge in Chapter 7.
people who need to cure a default and reinstate their home mortgage.
Chapter 13 provides an affordable payment plan but is only available to individuals who have steady, regular income, which is sufficient to pay their monthly expenses with enough left over each month to pay off some portion of their debts. A chapter 13 plan does not necessarily have to repay 100% of the debt. Often, only a small percentage of the total debt is repaid, but the debtor is discharged from all of it. Click here for more information on Chapter 13.
Bankruptcy Exemptions – Assets you get to keep.
Each state has a scheme of "exemptions," or lists of property you can keep in bankruptcy. Massachusetts residents may elect either the Federal exemptions or the Massachusetts state exemptions. Click here to learn more about exemptions. We will help you determine which scheme to elect to exempt most or all of your property.
Automatic Stay. Immediately upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, a federal court injunction is automatically issued preventing your creditors from making any further attempts to collect. Creditor phone calls, letters, calls to your workplace, and bills all stop. Even foreclosures and repossessions are stopped, and state court appearances are canceled until your bankruptcy case is administered. Click here to learn more about the Automatic Stay.
Discharge. At the conclusion of your bankruptcy case, you are granted a discharge from the bankruptcy court. This is an order legally dissolving your obligation to repay your debts. Creditors can never take any action to collect those debts. Not all debts are dischargeable, however, the vast majority of ordinary consumer debts are. Some examples of debts which may not be discharged are child support, alimony, recent taxes, student loans, criminal fines, and debts incurred by fraud, criminal activity, or by willful or malicious conduct.
The "Means Test" is a procedure to determine whether you have "disposable income." In general, if your income is below the state median average for your household size, you are eligible to file Chapter 7. If your income is above the state average, but you still don't have much disposable income, you may still be eligible to file Chapter 7. If your income is above the state median average and you have sufficient disposable income, you may be required to file a chapter 13 case. Even if your income is above the state median income and you have some disposable income each month, there are many factors that are considered, and you may still be able to file under Chapter 7, especially if you have unique circumstances or primarily business debts.
Before you file for bankruptcy, you must complete an approved Credit Counseling briefing course. You can usually complete the briefing course online, and there are agencies which provide the briefing course in Spanish, Portuguese and other languages. And, if you don't have access to a computer, or have a vision or other disability, you can take the briefing over the phone. There is a fee from about $25 to $40 for these briefing courses, depending on how and where you take it. After your bankruptcy is filed, you must also complete a second course, called the Financial Management Course. Most of the same vendors provide this second course also.
Attorney Tremblay recommends DollarBK.org (www.DollarBK.org). If you enter Attorney Code #MT8485, Attorney Tremblay will receive confirmation of your completion of the course and your certificate for filing with the Bankruptcy Court will be transmitted automatically.

8 of Justina Machado's Best Roles in Movies and TV Shows
Get ready to binge more from the One Day at a Time star.
Justina Machado as Vanessa Diaz in the 2001 TV series Six Feet Under is what launched the actress on her road to stardom. Since then, the 46-year-old Puerto Rican actress has brought both her dramatic and comedic chops to characters on the small and big screen, even gracing the theater stage for Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway's show In the Heights. Mostly recently, Machado has captured hearts as Penelope, the matriarch to a hilarious Cuban family on Netflix's Latino-starring One Day at a Time reboot. To celebrate the premiere of season 3, we rounded up some of Justina Machado's biggest movie and TV roles to date.
In the Netflix series about a Cuban-American family (a reboot of the original 70's sitcom), Machado is Penelope Alvarez, a newly single mother who's also a United States Army Nurse Corps veteran. With the help of her old-school mom (played by Rita Moreno), Machado makes audiences both laugh and cry as the mom to two teenagers struggling to balance it all.
In the CW series starring Gina Rodriguez, Machado portrays Darci Factor, a controlling—but business savvy!—matchmaker who propositions Jane's dad, Rogelio (Jaime Camil) to start a family as a non-romantic, co-parenting couple. In true novela fashion, of course, the two end up falling for each other.
As Brenda on USA's action-packed Queen of the South, Machado depicts the main character Teresa's best friend as the two go on the run for scamming a cartel. Until the very end, Brenda manages to manager her own network—and stay loyal to her BFF.
On the Lifetime series Devious Maids, Judy Reyes portrays Zoila, the maid to a wealthy family. Here, Machado portrays Reina, Zoila's conniving younger sister.
Avila Entertainment
In the 2015 film inspired by true events, Machado played the mother of a boy named Jose whose grandmother taught him chess to connect with others—but the family quickly learns that for Jose, chess is much more than a hobby.
As Pam Acosta on Three Rivers, Machado portrayed a nurse working in a Pittsburgh hospital unit specializing in organ transplants.
In what's considered one of her breakout role on HBO's 2001 series Six Feet Under, Machado portrayed Vanessa Diaz, the wife who pushes her mortician husband, Federico Alvarez, to start his own business.
In Final Destination 2, Machado stepped into the shoes of Isabella Hudson, a 30-something pregnant woman who survives a major accident because she wasn't part of Death's plan. Spooky.

Vijay Hazare Trophy
The Hyderabad team, led by Pragyan Ojha, began their campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, a List-A cricket tournament in India, with a loss against the Kerala at Vasco da Gama on 14 February 2013. The Kerala pacers, Sandeep Warrier and Prasanth Parameswaran troubled the Hyderabad and restricted them to 192 while 93-run knock from Rohan Prem helped the Kerala complete a six-wicket victory. In the second match, Ojha and Ashish Reddy restricted the Andhra to 202 but the Hyderabad top-order stumbled to Syed Shahabuddin before Hanuma Vihari and Habeeb Ahmed tried to recover the innings. But, their dismissals set up the win for the Andhra as Paidikalva Vijaykumar wrapped things up to defeat the Hyderabad by two runs. In a rain-hit 25-over match, Dwaraka Ravi Teja's 111 and Akash Bhandari's 78 helped the Hyderabad register an eight-wicket win by chasing the Goa's target of 226 that was set with the help of half-centuries from Swapnil Asnodkar and Sagun Kamat. The centuries from Robin Uthappa and K. L. Rahul helped the Karnataka post 305 while the four-wicket haul from S. L. Akshay helped them to recover from the 140-run partnership between Vihari and Bavanaka Sandeep and defeat the Hyderabad by 47 runs in their fourth match. In the final zonal match, century from Dinesh Karthik set a strong start for Tamil Nadu but Chama Milind struck twice to restrict Tamil Nadu to 262. The Hyderabad started the chase strongly but three run-outs in the middle and Palani Amarnath's three-wicket haul at the end hampered the Hyderabad's chase and helped the Tamil Nadu win by 26 runs as the Hyderabad finished fifth in the South Zone and failed to qualify for the knockout stage with a win and four losses.

Two run-outs and disciplined bowling by the Kerala restricted the Hyderabad to 133 while Nikhilesh Surendran's half-century anchored the chase as the Kerala won by six-wickets. In the second match, the 108-run partnership between Akshath and Tirumalasetti Suman set the platform for the Hyderabad for a big total only to be hampered by the four-wicket haul from Tekkami Atchuta Rao and restricted them to 161 while the collective batting effort from the Andhra batsmen helped the Andhra complete the chase with five-wickets to spare. In the third match, the Hyderabad bowlers started strongly dismissing the Goa openers cheaply but the knocks from Swapnil Asnodkar and Ravikant Shukla helped them to recover to 141 while Darshan Misal and his bowling unit restricted the Hyderabad to 134 and win the match for the Goa by 7 runs. Mayank Agarwal's maiden ton and four-wicket hauls from Krishnappa Gowtham and Manish Pandey set up the Karnataka's 12-run win and hand over the fourth loss for the Hyderabad in as many matches. The collective effort from Suman, Bavanaka Sandeep and Hanuma Vihari helped the Hyderabad set the target of 168 while the three-wicket haul from Akash Bhandari in the middle and Chama Milind's hat-trick at the end helped the Hyderabad secure their first win in the tournament against the Tamil Nadu by eight runs as they finished fifth in the South Zone and failed to qualify for the Super League stage with a win and four losses.

The U.S. Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, making it the country's first civil rights legislation designed to meet the needs of disabled people. While within the last decades a lot of progress has been made in order to promote equality and human rights and to create a fairer world, disabled people still continue to face various discrimination, including discriminatory policy and access barriers. Yet disability rights advocates believe that a lot of work remains to be done if we are to reach our goals of equal opportunity, full participation, and community integration and inclusion for all disabled individuals.

Q: Make iOS app receive VoIP push notifications again Apple changed the way VoIP push notifications work. And apps not handling them  in the new way stop getting push notifications. The problem: Once this happens, how can I receive push notifications again with an updated application, without reinstalling the app?
(What I'm not asking is how to handle VoIP push notifications. That doesn't help because the app stopped receiving them, so it can't handle them either correctly or incorrectly).

A: From what I've seen, the only way to receive VoIP notifications again is indeed reinstalling the app. If you can't do so, it seems that in around 24 hours you will be able to receive VoIP notifications again, without doing anything else than waiting.

For example, does your home need protection from the unlawful enforcement by CRT/BW that is threatening you with homelessness? Is there a need for more sanitary or rubbish disposal facilities? Do you have specific needs because of a disability or illness that are not being met? Or do you need planning permission for residential use of your mooring?
If you want to submit any information please email Catherine Perry or Donna Vercoe at scrutiny@bathnes.gov.uk by March 28th 2013. Boaters who are mostly moored east of Dundas are also welcome to contribute their views. If you want to provide information anonymously, please email info@boatingcommunity.org.uk or text/ring 07928 078208 and we will pass on your information without your name or any other identifying details.
Here is the message sent to us by Catherine Perry: "The BaNES Housing and Major Projects Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel is currently conducting a small scale review into the key needs and requirements of Boat Dwellers and River Travellers along the Kennet and Avon Canal and the River Avon.
Participation from the local boating community is vital to achieve effective future policy development between boaters, the Council and other bodies. This will focus on the problems boaters face in accessing services, such as health and social care, dentistry, education and employment, and how such access could be improved.
If you would like to contribute, please contact either Catherine Perry or Donna Vercoe at scrutiny@bathnes.gov.uk by March 28th 2013. Tel (Catherine Perry) 01225 394456 .
At the last Housing and Major Projects Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel (HMP) on Tuesday 20th Novembers 2012 the Panel received an update on Boat and Mobile Home Dwellers from the Cabinet Member for Homes & Planning, which included a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Council and the Canals and River Trust. The Panel were asked to consider if they wished to undertake any policy review work on this matter and if they would support the MOU. It was agreed at this meeting that there were a number of issues that still needed further investigation and that the Panel should undertake some Task and Finish Group work to explore some of these issues further and report back to the Panel in May 2013.
This issue surrounding Boat dwellers & River Travellers impact directly on the wards through which the river Avon and canals flow; however the river is accessed by all sections of society and as they require schooling, medical care and utilities, their needs impact on other B&NES residents.
Recent reports suggest that there has been an increase over recent years in the numbers of people opting to become boat dwellers due to the lack of affordable housing available in certain areas and this has placed pressure on the River and canal side due to the lack of available mooring space within the district. A recent BBC news item focused on the problems of a family moored at Limpley Stoke and the rising costs of canal moorings.
A Task and Finish Group may be established by the Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel for the purpose of conducting an in depth review of any Council service, policy or issue that affects the lives of B&NES residents. Matters requiring review by a task and finish group generally arise from issues which have been identified by one of the Policy Development and Scrutiny Panels.
The Task and Finish Group produces a report containing details of the evidence gathered, their conclusions and subsequent recommendations.
The report is then submitted to the Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel who in turn may refer the report to the Cabinet or any partner agencies affected, asking them to consider the recommendations arising from the investigation and how things could be improved.
The Task and Finish Group will investigate the common needs and requirements of Boat Dwellers and River Travellers along the River Avon (Widcombe to Bradford on Avon TBC) and provide the HMP Panel with enough information to make recommendations to Cabinet for both practical measures such as the development of a Memorandum between the Council and Boat dwellers, and for future policy development.
The work will also set out to support the work carried out by the River Corridor Group and their vision for the future River Avon and also link to the Current Core Strategy1, specifically the requirement to deliver more dwellings, which have so far been increased through large housing developments and not yet that of river dwelling people.
It is also important that work on the river is integrated with B&NES other policies, such as tourism, education, health and 'housing'. For example, in Birmingham and Oxford the canal and river system contribute substantially to housing students, and reducing HMO problems.
c. How would the MOU benefit the local Boating community?
To produce a report for the relevant Policy Development & Scrutiny Panel (Housing and Major Projects) with recommendations which will be made available to the relevant Council Cabinet Member and/or other organisations to consider and make a response.
Process: The investigation will be carried out in accordance with the Bath & North East Somerset Council Policy Development and Scrutiny processes.
Resource: Project management resource available from the Policy Development & Scrutiny Team is limited therefore support for undertaking research/ collection will need to be nominated from within the steering group members or through Service area Officer support to the Task and Finish Group.

EXCLUSIVE: Leave it to the franchise featuring the coolest private eye to come up with an inventive way of potentially changing the model for how certain urban-themed movie get financed and distributed. Sources say that New Line and Netflix are nearly closed on the untitled Shaft reboot. Netflix will pay more than half the film's high $30 million budget, in exchange for international rights and the ability to put the film on its streaming outside the U.S. two weeks after New Line releases theatrically in the United States. The film will begin production in December.
New Line and Netflix were not commenting, but sources said the film will follow a traditional domestic roll out from theatrical to SVOD and DVD through the Warner Bros machine. That ought to spare the film from becoming an issue for theater chains that try to make the film wait 90 days to exploit ancillary markets. But the acceleration of availability to ancillary overseas is a major wrinkle in the back and forth as film companies try to shrink theatrical windows.
The deal, which has been in the works for the past several weeks, can be a useful template for makers of urban-themed or genre fare that normally does most of its theatrical business in the United States. What the deal does in particular for the untitled movie is, it gives director Tim Story more money to make the film than he otherwise would have gotten from New Line.
For Netflix, the deal will give its international membership a film that is still hot in the U.S. While there are exceptions, urban themed films turn the bulk of profit in the U.S. The recent summer sleeper, the $19 million Girls Trip, grossed a robust $115 million domestic, and has generated an extra $20 million offshore. This despite the fact that many movies rely on overseas for 75% of their global box office gross.
The Shaft reboot has a script by black-ish creator Kenya Barris, and will star Samuel L. Jackson in the role of John Shaft, who in 2000 played the nephew of the New York City private eye first seen in the Gordon Parks-directed 1971 action classic. Independence Day: Resurgence and Staz' Survivor's Remorse star Jessie T. Usher is set to play Shaft's son, this after a long search to fill a potential star making role. He will play a young cyber expert FBI agent who, despite being estranged from his father, is forced to work with him on a case. It becomes a collision between old school and new school. Richard Roundtree is also expected to reprise his iconic role, as he did in the John Singleton-directed 2000 film.
The Shaft reboot is produced by Davis Entertainment's John Davis and Barris.
CAA and MGMT Entertainment rep Usher; Story is repped by UTA and Barris by CAA and Principato-Young. Jackson is ICM Partners and Anonymous Content and Stone Manners Salsners Agency and Patrick McMinn Management rep Roundtree.


Now that school has started I am only able to get to my gym three days a week. For me, this is not enough; I like to workout four to six days a week. There is a simple solution: quick home workouts. At home, everyone has access to the most sophisticated workout machine: their bodies.
Quick home workouts are not only great when you can't get to your gym but they can also play a major role in achieving goals.
Kyle O, our friend and an action coach, recently showed us his improvements in his toes-to-bar exercise (an exercise where you hang from a bar and bring your toes up to the bar). He credits his improvement to a daily toes-to-bar practice; he has added toes-to-bar to his everyday activities, doing up to 50 a day!
try adding 5 a day!
try adding a 1 minute plank or 20 sit ups!
try adding 10 a day!
So let us know: What is your goal and what can you add to your day to achieve it?


Bloggingheads: America's Soccer Problem - Video Library - The New York Times: "Dayo Olopade"
First, I had no idea that opinions concerning soccer break out along political lines before I watched this discussion.
Second, and more importantly, I wanted to acknowledge the greatest choice of an adjective that I have encountered lately. Dayo Olopade characterizes soccer as "tantric." That is a perfect word choice in my opinion.

Justia Dockets & Filings Fourth Circuit North Carolina Western District Suttles v. USA Filing 9
Suttles v. USA
ORDER denying 8 Motion to Stay. Signed by District Judge Martin Reidinger on 3/19/13. (ejb) (Main Document 9 replaced on 3/19/2013 with correct PDF) (ejb). NEF Regenerated.
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA ASHEVILLE DIVISION Civil Case No. 1:12cv00177-MR [Criminal Case No. 1:07cr00060-MR-1] ROBBIE SUTTLES, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Respondent. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ORDER THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Petitioner's Motion to Stay the Court's resolution of Petitioner's Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct Sentence, filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. In his motion, Petitioner seeks to stay these proceedings until the Supreme Court of the United States issues a decision in McQuiggin v. Perkins, 670 F.3d 665 (6th Cir. 2012). 133 S.Ct. 527, 184 L.Ed.2d 338, 2012 U.S. LEXIS 8503 (U.S. Oct. 29, 2012) (No. 12-126). In McQuiggin the Supreme Court has granted certiorari on the question of whether the time periods under 38 U.S.C. §2255(f) are extended where a prisoner claims asserts actual innocence. Petitioner argues in his Section 2255 motion that he is "actually innocent of being a career offender." Petitioner's 1 sentence was enhanced based on a finding that he is a career offender. Petitioner now seeks to belatedly challenge that determination based on United States v. Simmons, 649 F.3d 237 (4th Cir. 2011) (en banc). [Civil Case No. 1:12-cv-00177, Doc. 1 at 6]. In an Order filed contemporaneously with this Order, the Court found that Petitioner's challenge to his status as a career offender must fail in light of the Fourth Circuit's holding in United States v. Powell, 691 F.3d 554 (4th Cir. 2012), and subsequent, unpublished opinions, which hold that United States v. Simmons, 649 F.3d 237 (4th Cir. 2011) (en banc), and the Supreme Court's opinion in Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder, , U.S. , 130 S.Ct. 2577, 177 L.Ed.2d 68 (2010), are not retroactive to cases on collateral review.1 Based thereon the Court denied and dismissed his Section 2255 motion and declined to issue a certificate of appealability. Therefore, even if Petitioner's motion were timely, it would be of no consequence to his claim. In addition, Petitoiner's argument under McQuiggin is without merit. In Petitioner's presentence report ("PSR"), the U.S. Probation Officer found that he had been convicted on three felony controlled substance offenses 1 Petitioner was sentenced in this Court on April 25, 2008, and he did not file a direct appeal from this Judgment. Petitioner's Judgment was therefore final in May 2008. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(b) (applying pre-2009 amendment that provides a direct appeal must be filed within 10-days from entry of judgment). 2 under North Carolina law. Based on these convictions, the probation officer concluded that Petitioner qualified as a career offender under USSG § 4B1.1. [Criminal Case No. 1:07cr00060, Doc. 25: PSR ¶ 25]. Petitioner does not contend that he is factually innocent of the crimes which formed the basis for his status as a career offender. Rather, he asserts that under present case law, the predicate crimes may not expose him to a sentence in excess of one year and would therefore not serve as proper, predicate convictions to support a conclusion that he is a career offender. This is not a claim of actual innocence. See United States v. Pettiford, 612 F.3d 270, 284 (4th Cir. 2010) (holding that "actual innocence applies in the context of habitual offender provisions only where the challenge to eligibility stems from factual innocence of the predicate crimes, and not from the legal classification of the predicate crimes."). For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner's Motion to Stay Proceedings will be denied in the Court's discretion. IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Petitioner's Motion to Stay Proceedings is DENIED. [Doc. 8]. Signed: March 19, 2013 3

Q: Executing a bash script in Oracle/Sun GridEngine I have a script which begins by defining a series of variables, before running a programme with those variables. However, the script is being rejected from Grid Engine (it works on a workstation, but as one component of an array job, it needs to run via SGE) because the variables are being read as commands, resulting in a "Command not found" response.
The error is completely reproduced using the following:
#!/bin/bash
#$ -M not.real@email.address
#$ -m be
#$ -o /scratch/MScGWAS/Output
#$ -e /scratch/MScGWAS/Errors
#$ -q long.q
#$ -cwd
CHR=$1
CHUNK_START=`printf "%.0f" $2`
CHUNK_END=`printf "%.0f" $3`

Output Example:
CHR=1: Command not found.
CHUNK_START=1: Command not found.
CHUNK_END=5000000: Command not found.

How can I get GridEngine to use bash as the interpreter for this script?

A: You are not executing your script with bash, but with a different shell (e.g. tcsh).

A: It sounds like your grid engine cluster is configured with the queues in posix_compliant mode and /bin/csh as the default shell.  In posix_compliant mode the initial #! is ignored and you need to specify the shell via a command line switch or with a suitable #$ directive.
Adding the following line to your script should work:
#$ -S /bin/bash

Savannah Fire donates toys to children's home
Constance Cooper
Savannah firefighters got the chance to play Santa Wednesday, delivering dozens of toys to the Greenbriar Children's Center, an organization that shelters abused and neglected children.
"At this time of year, I think it's important to remember why we are here, and that's service," Savannah Fire Chief Charles Middleton said. "That's not always service in so far as emergency response, but it's also serving the community."
Capt. Chris Shelnutt, one of the firefighters who organized the toy drive, said all of the items were donated by members of the department. They collected about 200 toys, Sheulnutt said, some of which were given to the family of Norman Simmons, a firefighter who died in the line of duty in 1991 and whose survivors were in need this holiday.
Firefighters unloaded big red bags of toys from a big red fire truck Wednesday afternoon. Middleton wore a Santa hat. Greenbriar Executive Director Gena Taylor squealed in delight when she pulled an oversized stuffed dog from one of the bags.
"I could only wish that you could see the faces of these children on Christmas morning," Taylor told firefighters.
The gifts will go to eight children living in Greenbriar's emergency shelter, 150 families that Greenbriar is counseling to prevent children from being removed from a home and seven youths in Greenbriar's homeless program. Firefighters picked the toys from children's wish lists.
Savannah Fire was one of several organizations that donated gifts to Greenbriar this Christmas, some of which include the Savannah Harbor Foundation, the United House of Prayer, Dan Vaden Chevrolet and the Westin Hotel.
"We really do depend on the community to provide Christmas for these children," Taylor said.
Greennbriar is asking the community to pitch in wrapping donated Christmas presents. Gift-wrapping will take place from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Macy's Court in the Oglethorpe Mall, next to Santa Claus. For more information, call Greenbriar at 912-234-3431.


5 fave sites for saving dinero + DISASTER BABY | House Unseen. Life Unscripted.
If you change nothing about how you shop online, just start using ebates to get to your favorite stores. If you've been reading this blog for a while, you already know how easy and great Ebates is. If you haven't, you're about to find out right now. So here goes: Ebates is so easy to use and is super duper great! Companies contract with Ebates so that you're more likely to shop with them. In exchange, you get a percentage of your purchase back as a rebate. It is so easy and it absolutely works. Ebates keeps track of everything and sends you a quarterly check. An actual check. Real American dollars! Not a credit that you have to use on some random website or anything like that. So sign up. It's free. It's easy. You get cashback. You get promo codes for free shipping and percentages off. There is literally nothing to lose.
I've talked about this before, too. (For anyone that already uses all these things, scroll to the bottom for adorable pictures of Mary!). This place is addictive. Used designer clothes at awesome prices. Their quality is fab. u. LOUS. I actually sent stuff to them just so I could get credit so I could shop with them without spending money. That's how much fun it is to get a Twice order in the mail. Aaaaaaaah! Getting giddy just thinking about them! Must. Window. Shop.
Sorry. Focus. So ThredUp is like shopping a really nice Goodwill online. I'm sure they'd cringe if they read that, but after all my comparisons I gotta say it. BUT- they carry kids' clothes, maternity clothes, and shoes and accessories, which my above obsession does not have. Plus, some of their stuff is cheapcheapcheap. Like a couple of bucks. Twice's lowest price is $9.99. So it's worth checking out but not my fave for the schmancy mama apparel.
If you live in ye olde Midwest, maybe you shops at the Meijer, yes? If you do but you don't, you should. If you don't then you can't but try and see if a store around you has something like this. Anyway, they're called MPerks, and basically it's a special extra section of their website you can use to get extra discounts that they don't actually tell anyone about. I know! Who does that? Well, a store that wants to claim they have a special program but not actually lose any money I'm guessing. So they have this but hardly anyone does it, so it's a win win for them and a.....forget it. I'm confusing myself. MORAL: if you haven't signed up for mPerks, do it. I got an additional $15 off my shopping trip for absolutely nothing yesterday. Whutwhut.
If you think I'm joking, you are incorrect my friend. When you shop online, open google in another tab when you're about to check out. Google "_________ promo code." But with the name of the store in place of the blank. Don't put the blank into a google search. That would be weird. So in addition to any promo code you find on Ebates, you might be able to add a second one on top. I do this ALL THE TIME with Kohl's and it is a magical feat of wonderment each time.
Now, for all of you who've heard all of this criz-nap before, enjoy these photos of my terribly messy, totally fantastic baby.
p.s. some of those links are referral links, which means I get a treat if you sign up. It doesn't cost you anything or whatever, but I gots to tellz ya.
Omigosh, I LOVE Mary's shirt. She is so super adorable.
Gotta love the independence and "I'll do it myself" attitude of toddler-hood...embrace the messy!
I kind of love that you let Mary eat yogurt independently, in spite of the mess. I hope I'm that laid back when we (hopefully) are blessed with children. She looks so happy. Adorbs.
Also, never heard of Twice before, but just used your link to buy some new work pants. Hope they fit/look cute!
Thanks for the links, I love new ways to save on stuff I was already buying. You should try Savingstar.com. It works like coupons only it links to your store cards and gives you cash back on things you normally buy. I've gotten back over $50 this year.
That adorable baby is going to need a bath! STAT!
Thanks for reminding me about Ebates! I love how many stores are on there.

The most straightforward and the common reason for converting MP4 to WMA is the requirement of only the audio part of the MP4 file. There is no harm in keeping the audio files in MP4 format, but such files will occupy more space as there is a video as well as an audio content. In case if the number of files is small, you can keep them in MP4 format, but what is there is a huge collection of files. Keeping files in MP4 format in such situations will not only reserve space but may create hassles as well. Moreover, there are players which cannot run these MP4 files.

5. What happens to the file quality after the conversion?
Depending upon the type of converter you are using, the file quality of the converted file is affected. The majority of the desktop software are professional in nature and thus there is no quality loss while converting the files. On the hand, while converting MP4 to WMA using online tools there are chances of quality loss as WMA is a lossy audio format.
We've discussed how to convert MP4 to WMA with online converter and desktop software and both methods have pros and cons.Thus it can be concluded that desktop software like Wondershare UniConverter (originally Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate) is the best choice for no quality loss and fast conversion process. If you do not wish to go for the paid option, online converters can also be considered as your another choice.

The Next Step Building Project
So what is The Next Step? It's partly a Capital Campaign to raise funds and awareness to build a new home for New Life Church. But it's mostly about a dream. It's a dream of a small group of people, in 2010, who wanted to build a church in Aitkin, MN. They wanted to start a congregation where people could heal, families would be strengthened, and the tenor of the Aitkin community would be enriched. That small group started meeting in the choir room of the high school and they believed that God was looking for people to join in the work of building his kingdom.
Fast forward ten years. New Life Church has grown from that small group of people into a congregation that has called two full-time pastors into service, has a vibrant and LOUD youth ministry, supports the local school district and teachers through the Ripple Effect ministry, has purchased an existing church building and parsonage that has served well as a temporary home, and regularly has 170 people attending two Sunday services. The work of the kingdom is happening every day, and the dream continues to build and gain momentum.
But sometimes, it seems, the dream comes face-to-face with the reality of real estate. Sometimes, you just need more space. And more counter tops in the kitchen. And more toy bins in the nursery. And more off-street parking. And so we've decided to take the next logical step to continue building the dream of furthering the kingdom of God in our community. We've purchased land on the southeast side of Aitkin and we're launching a campaign to fund a building project.
We can see a future where people gather for worship, praise and prayer. We can see a future where hundreds of students meet every week to practice love and support in a world that wants to bully them into submission. We can see a future where single moms can release their kids into the arms of caring adults and just sit for a while. We can see a future where the Aitkin community is welcomed to meet Jesus in comedic dramas, concerts and puppet shows.
This Next Step for New Life Church is only partly about a Capital Campaign to build a church home. It's mostly about building the dream that becomes a reality in the kingdom of God. How big is your dream? Join us.

Q: How do I install an application to my USB and get it to work on any machine when you aren't "Administrator" I've tried applications like Mojo and portableapps creator but either it doesn't work or I need Administrative rights (Mojo).
How can I get a simple install app to work on my USB without being an Administrator?

A: Most applications require administrative privileges not only to write to the disk (in your case USB) but also:

*

*Write to registry. (Especially HKLM)

*DCOM Settings.

*Write to C:\Program Files or C:\Windows.

*Set defaults in other applications or Windows.

*Add itself to Windows start up. etc

All these require that you are an Admin on the PC you install it or run it(the App). Hence even if you install an app on the USB which is not a portable app, it may not work properly/at all on other PCs.
A truly portable app is one which does not require any of the above & also writes user prefeences in an *.ini or *.xml file.
Good portable (portable means one need not install itbut may require admin rights) applications for USB can be found at PortableApps. (Freeware)
For setting up PortableApps on your USB you may need Admin rights (not likely), but running it does not (Depends if you are in corporate environment, Group Policies may prevent application execution from USB).
Also you can directly run the applications (like Firefox Portable, Notepad++ Portable) available on PortableApps site without installing them.

A: To make an application portable, the most effective way is VMware ThinApp but it's a 5000$ license.
If you're not rich enough you can struggle with this, alpha stage and not anymore developed, freeware: JauntPE.
All other solutions I found don't really make application portable, they just remove registry and files after the application use... So they are not usable without administrative rights.
So, without administrative rights, I think we are limited to use applications natively developed to be portable...
Update: after some googeling I have found ceedo (39$), but according to this review it's not yet a universal solution
Update2: Some other application-level virtualization solutions found: Xenocode Virtual Application Studio / LANDesk® Application Virtualization / InstallFree
Notable exception for all these solutions:

*

*Any software that installs and requires a device driver to function. (Applications that use pre-installed device drivers can function without issues.)

*Some software with copy protection based on hardware.
