Become A Great Mentor – You can do it!
You are special. Has anyone ever told you that? We're here to remind you of it. You are special, and people need you. Whether you're a business guru, entrepreneur, academic, trainer, astronaut or traveller – you can be a mentor. There's always someone who can benefit from your unique experience and perspective.
It isn't your education or qualifications which make you a great mentor, it's your personality, experiences and attitude. You might be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a Mum who has perfected the after-school pick up routine. Finding good mentors can tricky – but luckily for us, we just found one – you!
A great mentor is committed to the relationship. Express your interest, get to know your mentee, get involved and as far as possible, stay involved for as long as they want you to. And always – but ALWAYS – do what you promise.
You know what they say about assumptions. Nothing good, that's what. Don't assume anything about your mentee – ask questions instead. Clarify your mentee's vision for the mentorship relationship, their needs and their goals. Make sure you're on the same page before you even open the book.
Listening is a much harder skill than speaking. Learn to utilise it in your mentorship relationship. Only give advice once you've spent a decent amount of time listening and seeking to understand.
As Aretha Franklin knew well, respect is key. Understand that no-one is the same, everyone has qualities and faces challenges and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Being respectful is the first step toward a great mentoring career.
'Practice makes perfect', said every mother ever. Here at MentorSelector, we prefer, 'patience makes perfect'. Every good mentoring relationship takes time. Be patient with your mentee and work at a pace they're comfortable with.
Almost every relationship issue stems from unmet expectations. Usually these problem expectations have gone unspoken. There's a super simple way to avoid this – speak them! Discuss expectations with your mentee from the word 'go'. Mentors and career advisers flourish when expectations are aligned.
As a mentor, your life experience is in the spotlight. Your advice if undermined if you don't follow it yourself. Be your best and be consistent.
Be willing to share your experiences – the good, the bad and the ugly. A good mentor is willing to share their mistakes and regrets as readily as they share their victories. You may not realise this but your mistakes are often more powerful than your successes, in the life of your mentee.
Your mentee expects your discretion so keep your conversations private. Nothing erodes trust faster than a breach in confidentiality.
Be compassionate and kind. This is good rule for all of life and especially important in your role as a mentor.
To be a better mentor, keep the big picture in mind. Work with them as if you'll be their mentor forever – this will make sure you're keeping their long-term best interests at heart.
The best mentors are generous – not just with their time and expertise but with their resources too. What have you read, what have you heard, what have you attended, who do you know? Whatever resources you have available, share them freely with your mentee.
The greatest mentors are those who pay attention. If your mentee wants to break into the acting world, keep your eyes peeled for opportunities, classes and connections at local theatres. If they want to improve their public speaking skills, look out for helpful articles to send their way. Pay attention and be on the look out on their behalf.


Basic Layouts shows how to use the standard layout managers that are available in Qt: QBoxLayout, QGridLayout, and QFormLayout.
The QBoxLayout class lines up widgets horizontally or vertically. QHBoxLayout and QVBoxLayout are convenience subclasses of QBoxLayout. QGridLayout lays out widgets in cells by dividing the available space into rows and columns. QFormLayout, on the other hand, sets its children in a two-column form with labels in the left column and input fields in the right column.
The Dialog class inherits QDialog. It is a custom widget that displays its child widgets using the geometry managers: QHBoxLayout, QVBoxLayout, QGridLayout, and QFormLayout.
There are four private functions to simplify the class constructor: the createMenu(), createHorizontalGroupBox(), createGridGroupBox(), and createFormGroupBox() functions create several widgets that the example uses to demonstrate how the layout affects their appearances.
In the constructor, we first use the createMenu() function to create and populate a menu bar and the createHorizontalGroupBox() function to create a group box containing four buttons with a horizontal layout. Next we use the createGridGroupBox() function to create a group box containing several line edits and a small text editor which are displayed in a grid layout. Finally, we use the createFormGroupBox() function to create a group box with three labels and three input fields: a line edit, a combo box and a spin box.
In the createFormGroupBox() function, we use a QFormLayout to neatly arrange objects into two columns - name and field. There are three QLabel objects for names with three corresponding input widgets as fields: a QLineEdit, a QComboBox and a QSpinBox. Unlike QBoxLayout::addWidget() and QGridLayout::addWidget(), we use QFormLayout::addRow() to add widgets to the layout.

Prof. Emeritus John Anderson, invertebrate zoology, died Oct. 25 at the age of 94. Anderson, who taught from 1952 to 1979 and helped establish Cornell's Shoals Marine Lab, specialized in echinoderms, commonly known as starfish.
"When I heard that Andy had passed away, I said, 'There goes a gentleman and a scholar,'" said Prof. John Kingsbury, marine biology, who worked with Anderson at Shoals.
Anderson and Kingsbury first met at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., in the 1960s. In 1966, Anderson helped Kingsbury launch Shoals, a program that is still run by Cornell and the University of New Hampshire on Appledore Island, which is just off the coast of Portsmouth, N.H.
According to Kingsbury, Anderson's involvement at Cornell was multi-faceted, and he called his achievements impressive. Anderson, in addition to teaching invertebrate zoology, co-authored the textbook "General Zoology" while at Cornell. Anderson also chaired the Cornell Pre-Medical Advisory Committee.
Director of Shoals Prof. William E. Bemis '76, ecology and evolutionary biology, took Anderson's invertebrate zoology class as an undergraduate student at Cornell.
Anderson received his bachelor's degree in biology from Southern Methodist University in 1938 and an M.S. from New York University in 1942. After serving as a lieutenant in the Navy during World War Two, he completed his Ph.D. at NYU in 1947, and joined the Cornell faculty in 1952.
A memorial service and celebration of Anderson's life will be held Sunday, Nov. 6, at 2 p.m. in Sage Chapel. According to the University, memorial donations can be sent to Hospicare and Palliative Care Services of Tompkins County or Shoals Marine Laboratory.
In 2008, more than 36 million people worldwide died from non-communicable diseases, namely cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes. Although historically thought of as diseases of the rich, non-communicable diseases actually disproportionately affect the world's poor, specifically those living in developing countries.

Wide Gaps Emerge in New Israel-Syria Peace Talks
Wide gaps have emerged in new negotiations between Israel and Syria. Robert Berger reports from the VOA bureau in Jerusalem.
Peace talks hit an early snag over the scope of an Israeli withdrawal from the strategic Golan Heights, captured from Syria during the 1967 Mideast war. Israel responded angrily to published remarks by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who said an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan must go all the way to Tiberias, a city on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. That would mean that Syria would control the eastern shore of the lake - territory it did not hold before the war.
Israel's Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz had this response during a visit to the Golan Heights.
"Syria is not ready for peace," he said, adding that "they are up to their necks in terrorism." That was a reference to Syria's support for Hezbollah in Lebanon and Palestinian militant groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. But what most worries Israel are Syria's ties with Iran.
Mofaz said if Israel hands over the Golan to Syria, Iran would move in. And with Iran allegedly seeking nuclear weapons and threatening to wipe the Jewish state "off the map," that is the last thing that Israel wants.
Mofaz's comments point to a dilemma facing Israel. On the one hand, it wants to lure Syria into the camp of the Arab moderates and away from the militants led by Iran. On the other hand, as Mofaz put it, the Golan is a strategic asset and giving it up is inconceivable.
Bush to Meet Israel's Olmert on Wednesday
President Bush will meet Wednesday at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. VOA's Paula Wolfson reports, they will review progress in the Middle East peace process. This will be their second round of talks in less than one month, following Mr. Bush's trip to Israel in May for ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of the nation's founding.

Clearing out my Grandpa's House
by Alaina Shirt July 24, 2019 September 4, 2020
The thing about death is that no one tells you how to do it. Walking amidst the memory-filled walls of my recently passed grandpa's two-storey house, I fastened neon pink sticky notes to the things I wanted to claim. With 2,200 square feet and 40 years worth of stuff to go through, it was a project for the whole family, out of towners included. When I first heard of the sticky note plan, I pictured an American Black Friday style battle, but in reality, it was a civil experience resulting in no major arguments. In a unique test of self-control, I found that rather than taking absolutely everything that could one day serve me, I was selective with my sticky note placement, choosing a gold-rimmed mid-century style mirror, along with a couple of other small things: an engraved silver serving tray, and a couple of photographs.
The accumulation in my grandpa's house was not the result of him being emotionally connected to the things in his house. He was the opposite in some ways. A practical man, one of my strongest memories of him was when he got his hip replaced, a time he took as an opportunity to brush up on his engineering skills. At 75 years old, he wheeled around the house with contraptions that he had skillfully designed to help him with everyday tasks. Why ask for help when you can use a homemade extendo-arm to reach for a can of soup?

I sometimes wonder whether the average person thinks much about death. I do. But that's only because my mom is a palliative care nurse, and death is a frequent topic of conversation at our dinner table. Hearing about the intricacies of coming to terms with the end of life, planning for it, and knowing how a family might respond, are things I have a second-hand experience in.
Janet Arnold, a professor at Mount Royal University who teaches the course "Topics in Death and Dying," explains the fear associated with death. Known as terror management theory, Arnold explains that humans are the only species that understand that they're dying. She says she always starts her class by saying, "Research says 100 per cent of us are going to die." Explaining that if we can accept that, and move beyond the fear, we can prepare.
While preparing for death is not the most glamorous topic, it benefits everyone involved. Margareta Magnusson, who identifies as being "aged between eighty and one hundred," wrote the book "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning" to recount her own experience coming to terms with her impending death, and to provide others with the tools to do so themselves. The term 'death cleaning' comes from the Swedish word döstädning; dö meaning death, and städning meaning cleaning. While the English variant sounds harsh, it's really just the idea of slowly removing unnecessary things from ones home, in preparation for the inevitable.
When my grandpa died, my dad and his brother, my uncle, were eager to get the house on the market, knowing that the selling process could take awhile. This sense of urgency did two things. One: it provided a timeline. Two: having a timeline made the cleaning more systematic, and less emotional. My aunt Christine, who was in less of a hurry to clear out the home she was married in, now looks back and agrees that having a deadline made her more ruthless. She even plans to do some death cleaning of her own. "If I don't, somebody else is going to have to,'" she says of her thinking.
Not keen to take on renovations, and referring to his taste in home decor as "perfectly fine," my grandpa's house had bright orange shag carpet lining the living room up until fairly recently. Photo by Alaina Shirt
Magnusson recommends everyone live with that level of thoughtfulness. One thing I never considered about death was how much work the aftermath would be. My father joked that clearing out his father's house was 'a second job,' spending his evenings organizing the estate, cancelling mail, and tying up financial matters.
In her book, Magnusson writes matter of factly, "Do not ever imagine that anyone will wish — or be able — to schedule time off to take care of what you didn't bother to take care of yourself. No matter how much they love you, don't leave this burden to them."
Another benefit of death cleaning is that it can be cathartic. Magnusson suggests beginning the process at 65 year sold, and gives readers a detailed breakdown of how to go about it.
"It is a delight to go through things and remember their worth. And if you don't remember why a thing has meaning or why you kept it, it has no worth, and it will be easier for you to part with."-Margareta Magnusson
While most people don't set out to burden their families, sometimes time just goes by. As my aunt points out, my grandpa was trying to clear stuff out, but by the time he started, he wasn't physically able to. After all, trying to sort through a lifetime of accumulation is not an overnight job. Mount Royal's Arnold says that it's quite common for people to end up in this position.
"I think a lot of people are resistant because, 'I don't think I'm ever going to die.'" More often than not, death seems like something that can be put off. That is, until it can't.
Traipsing through my grandpa's house, sticky notes in hand, reminiscing about the landing point of many family gatherings was sentimental for us all. But the reality is that it was also a lot of work. My grandpa died two years ago, at 89 years old. There's now a young family living in his house. It is now almost unrecognizable. The oversized tree in the front yard has been cut down, and the original finishings replaced in favour of modern ones. While I sometimes feel nostalgia for the way it used to look, knowing that there is new life there brings me comfort. I am happy to let them fill the home with 40 more years worth of stuff.

If you want to jump-start your payroll service's sales on Monday morning, I have put together a number of suggestions and campaigns that have worked for our payroll clients - many ARE EXTREMELY LOW COST.
By the way, if you want to discuss the campaigns below with your sales team or sales leader, copy and paste the list below into a Word document. Once that's done, make a plan and then take action!
Client Survey: Send your clients an e-mail survey that asks how your payroll service is performing, what other services they need and if they would recommend your payroll service to someone they know. Second, make a list of the e-mail addresses that DID NOT open the survey AFTER 72 BUSINESS HOURS. Then on that same day, e-mail this new list another survey. Call each person that took the survey and ask for a referral.
Prospect Sales Letter: Send a "meeting request" letter to your entire database of prospects next Tuesday morning at 8:15 a.m. AFTER 72 BUSINESS HOURS make a list of the e-mail addresses that DID NOT open this e-mail and then e-mail them the same letter. Have a phone blitz session with your sales team to follow-up each e-mail released.
Google: List your payroll service on Google local and offer information about the Affordable Care Act or promote a special bundled offer.
Ask Your Clients This Question: Call your clients and ask who their accountant is. After getting the accountant's name, call and set an appointment with them to discuss your payroll service's referral partner program.
Create A "Get To Know Us" Kit: As your salespeople drop off their new clients' first payroll, have them give a pre-made "Get To Know Us" kit to four other businesses that are in proximity to this new client (ask the owner of the company for references of other local businesses he or she knows). The kit should contain a special offer, brochure, promotional product and cover letter. You might also consider adding a labor law poster to the package too. By the way, a salesperson can use this same kit when walking through an industrial complex.
Mail A Lumpy Mail Package: Create a lumpy mail package and mail it to each salesperson's top 10 prospects and top 10 referral partners. The package should contain a special coupon offer, brochure, promotional product and cover letter. Call everyone within 24 hours of the package hitting his or her desk. Mail a lumpy mail package every 60 to 90 days to the group of non-buyers.
Send A Disappearing Prospect e-Mail: Make a list of all of the prospects that received a proposal from your payroll service (in the last 90 to 120 days) and then stopped returning your salesperson's call. e-Mail this list a "disappearing prospect" e-mail outlining what they recommend for follow-up. This e-mail should outline a few options to help with your follow-up efforts.
Tap Into FREE Advertising: Send your tips/articles of interest to local business journals; they may publish it free.
Pay Chamber Members' Dues: Set up a chamber or association partnership that works like this: If a member hires your payroll service, you will pay their membership dues for one year. Given that most chamber memberships cost about $250 a year, it is well worth the acquisition cost. Don't forget to ask the chamber or association for an e-mail list of members to promote this special offer. Once you receive this list, e-mail a press release announcing free chamber dues for all members.
Create A Plan Of Action: Have each salesperson create a written plan of action for their sales territory tomorrow morning. This will help a salesperson gain sales clarity and focus.
As you can see from the short list above, there are many ways to immediately increase your payroll sales WITHOUT spending a lot of money.

It's Friday! Woot! I love seeing all the new collections of my standby favorites, but it's also fun to try out a brand that's new to WPP. With that said, this is the first time that Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) nail lacquer has made an appearance on the blog. What's the occasion? Their Fall release, the Unknown Pleasures Collection, will be available online next week (5 August). And for the first time ever, OCC Nail Lacquers will be carried in select Sephora stores starting 19 September (details and links at the end of this post). So in honor of this momentous occasion, I've created some Fall-toned nail art using the six polishes in the Collection.
This collection was inspired by shades that made their debut on the Fall/Winter runways. The range is edgy, but still unmistakably Fall. The gradient fingers from cuticle to tip are Pagan, a deep purple creme, Poison, a shimmery/metallic, forest green, and Covet, a warm tan. The dots are Technopagan, an awesome, almost electric, bright, metallic purple. I started the striped nails with the gray creme, Dangerous. The color at the very tip is Distortion, a metallic navy blue/green. Visit Vampy Varnish's post here to see individual swatches.
My first experience with OCC was great. The formula was really nice, especially the cremes, and the colors were spot on for the season. All OCC products are 100% vegan and cruelty free too. In addition to these six nail lacquer shades, the OCC Unknown Pleasures Collection also includes six all-new Lip Tar Mattes and Metallics and two online-exclusive Cosmetic Colour Pencil shades.
The Unknown Pleasures Collection will be available online at Sephora.com, Beautylish.com, and OCCMakeup.com beginning 8/5. For the first time, OCC nail lacquers will be available to try in-store starting 9/19 at participating locations.

This Four-Step Mortgage Process was originally developed by my associate, Jim McQuaig, from Churchill Mortgage in Northern Virginia. The process is simple in concept: When you select a mortgage for your purchase, ensure that the mortgage product you select allows you to accumulate reserves.
The first rule ensures you will have an emergency reserve for those times where you have an immediate need for cash to meet an unexpected expense. An example would be the need to replace four automobile tires that were destroyed in a road accident. This could cost as much as $1,000, and if you have no safety reserve, you must find other resources, and usually these are expensive (credit cards are one example). So an emergency reserve totaling three months of income avoids the need to use expensive resource alternatives.
The next step involves not having credit card debt because it is expensive and if your mortgage payment does not provide for some flexibility then you may be inclined to use credit cards to purchase assets that a more liberal mortgage payment may not require. Also, if there is credit card debt then a mortgage program should be selected that would generate cash flow that would allow the complete elimination of that debt.
The general approach of the Four-Step Mortgage process ensures that you accumulate funds for emergencies or unexpected life events. We suggest that a year's worth of earnings be saved. The purpose of this money is to have a cushion to shield against a larger negative event, such as losing a job. It can sometimes take a considerable amount of time to find a new job, so if you have these funds in reserve, you will be able to work your way through this stressful period in a comfortable manner. The mortgage product selected should help you build these reserves.
Lastly, you should own your home with a mortgage. This allows you to maximize the tax advantages associated with the mortgage interest deduction. We have discussed how this can be valuable in reducing your overall tax obligation. Each individual or family will have particular needs, but the Four-Step Mortgage Process incorporates and facilitates the central idea of building wealth through the use of a mortgage.
absurd, but for many it can be a blessing and it can be done.
Yet, the truth is, most people would rather their loved ones live comfortably than receive a large inheritance.

Con Edison, Inc. Reports 2009 Third Quarter Earnings
3rd Quarter 2009 Sales and Revenue Report
NEW YORK, NY, Nov 02, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison) (NYSE: ED) today reported third quarter earnings from ongoing operations, which excludes items discussed in the table below, were $319 million or $1.16 a share compared with $269 million or $0.98 a share in 2008. The company's net income for common stock was $336 million or $1.22 a share compared with $182 million or $0.66 a share in 2008.
Excluding items discussed in the table below, earnings from ongoing operations for the first nine months of 2009 were $665 million or $2.43 a share compared with $620 million or $2.27 a share for the first nine months of 2008. The company's net income for common stock was $666 million or $2.43 a share compared with $1,036 million or $3.80 a share for the first nine months of 2008.
"Reliability, energy efficiency, and infrastructure investments remained priorities as the company performed well, and delivered results in line with expectations, during a relatively mild summer," said Kevin Burke, the company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The $136 million smart grid stimulus grant, for which the company has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy, will help promote economic vitality and new employment opportunities, complementing other investments we are already making in our energy delivery systems."
The following table is a reconciliation of Con Edison's reported earnings per share and reported net income for common stock to earnings per share and earnings from ongoing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

For the year 2009, the company confirms its previous forecast of earnings per share from ongoing operations in the range of $3.00 to $3.20 a share. Earnings per share from ongoing operations excludes the net mark-to-market effects of the competitive energy businesses.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the 2008 period, also reflect changes in the company's rate plans (including additional revenues designed to recover increases in certain operations and maintenance expenses, depreciation and property taxes, interest charges and the impact of revenue decoupling mechanisms) and the operating results of the competitive energy businesses (including net mark-to-market effects). The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009, include a higher allowed electric return on common equity for Con Edison of New York as compared with the 2008 period reflecting increased capital costs. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the 2008 period include a higher allowed return for the second and third quarters of 2009, offset in part by a lower allowed electric return on equity for Con Edison of New York for the first quarter of 2009. Operations and maintenance expenses were higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting primarily higher costs, which are generally reflected in rates, such as pension and other post-retirement benefits and uncollectible accounts that were offset in part by austerity initiatives reflecting the general economic downturn. Depreciation and property taxes were higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the 2008 period reflecting primarily the impact from increased capital expenditures and higher property tax rates. Results of operations for the nine months ended September 2008 include the gain on the sale of generation projects, the impact of discontinued operations and resolution of litigation with Northeast Utilities. The following table presents the estimated effect on earnings per share and net income for common stock for the 2009 period compared with the 2008 period, resulting from these and other major factors:

(a) Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in Con Edison of New York's
electric and gas rate plans (effective April 2008 and October 2007,
respectively) and the weather-normalization clause applicable to the
gas business, revenues are generally not affected by changes in
delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved.
(b) These variations reflect after-tax net mark-to-market gains of $17
million or $0.06 a share in the third quarter of 2009, after-tax net
mark-to-market losses of $88 million or $0.32 a share in the third
quarter of 2008, and after-tax net mark-to-market gains of $1 million
or $0.00 a share in the first nine months of 2009 and after-tax net
mark-to-market losses of $25 million or $0.09 a share in the first nine
months of 2008.
(c) These variations reflect the discontinued operations of Con Edison
Development's generation projects, which includes a $270 million
after-tax gain on the sale of its generation plants for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008.
The changes in the amounts of energy delivered by the company's utility subsidiaries, for actual and as adjusted for variations in weather and billing days, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with the 2008 period were as follows (expressed as a percentage of 2008 amounts):

Known as the one of the world's best paragliding destinations, Bir boasts of what's known as a great set of conditions for flying. So much that the 2015 Paragliding World Cup was organised here.
One needs to experience a flight first hand to understand what brings hundreds of paragliders from across the world to Bir every year. Paragliding is essentially a non-mechanised method of flying that utilises prevailing wind conditions to get into the air, adjust altitude and direction and eventually land. The best way to get an introduction into this art of flight is to sign up for a tandem flight with any of the experienced tour operators in the area. Typically costing anywhere between Rs.2500 to Rs.4000 for a 30min flight from Billing to Bir, you get a great view of the Bir valley and the Dhauladhar range while in the air. And in case you really like it, you can enrol for a series of certified courses that will put you on track to your first solo flight.
Bir, the neighboring towns of Chaugan and Chauntra and the numerous adjoining villages are interconnected with a series of crisscrossing trails and pedestrian paths – creating fairy woodlands for as many adventures as you have time for.
Rent a mountain bike and blaze these trails for an adrenaline high, or take it easy with slow jogs, breathing in the fresh air of the pine forests and feeling the easy freedom of an explorer. And whenever you're hungry, get on to the road-head and sample some of the multiple cuisines that roadside eateries and cafes serve through the day.
The area around Bir is steeped in Buddhist culture, home to almost a dozen monasteries and large Tibetan settlements. The most famous monasteries in the region are Sherabling, located in the woods outside Bir, and Chokling, in the Tibetan settlement colony near the centre of town.
Whether you're in the mood to admire the ornate architecture or to lose yourself in the meditative prayer chants, head to any of these Buddhist centres for your share of introspection and spiritual bliss.
You might also be interested in some of the short term programs at the Deer Park Institute, which works texts and theory of classical Indian wisdom traditions.
Head into the woods above Bir (3km above the landing site) to reach this secluded institute that promotes sustainable village development and ecotourism. They take volunteers throughout the year for their various workshops that include earthen building, organic gardening and meditation.
A couple of kilometres off the village of Gunehar (or 6km from the landing site) is a waterfall that you can visit to take a dip in the chilled water, or just to enjoy the walk or mountain bike ride through the jeep trail that takes you there.
About 30 km from Bir (45 min to an hour by road) is the town of Palampur, around which are numerous tea estates basking in crisp sunshine against panoramic views of the Dhauladhar mountains. Take a walk through these vast plantations, visit some of the numerous cafes around, spend the night at any of the tastefully done estate homestays or watch tea leaves being processed at the Palampur Tea Co-operative located in town, you'll never run out of things to do here.
For the adventurous among visitors, the hot sulphur springs located around 30km from Bir is a great 2-day trip. Once you do the initial 20km by road and jeep track (via the village of Deol), you walk (or trek) the rest of the distance on a wooded mountain trail to reach the open air sulphur springs. It might be easier to engage a local to show you the way if you aren't sure of your navigational abilities. The water is quite hot, and it isn't advisable to stay in for too long at a stretch. Camp near the springs overnight provided you've carried along enough provisions, or head back to Deol to spend the night at a hotel before you head back to Bir.
A stunning 13th century temple dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva, you can observe some medieval North Indian architectural styles used in this rock structure. Baijnath temple is very popular in the area, often attracting hundreds of local and outstation visitors every day. There are multiple legends associated with this temple, some of which you can learn from the many locals who'll only be too eager to engage you.

'People Do Things. Things Happen,' GOP Senator Says of Trump Soliciting Foreign Election Interference
Hillary Clinton paid a visit to The Daily Show on Thursday to plug a book co-authored by Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, called The Book of Gutsy Women. But host Trevor Noah started the interview with a joke question.
"I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while: How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein?" Noah asked. The question elicited a laugh from the former secretary of state. But the host continued, getting to a larger point that has haunted Clinton since she's been in the political public eye.
Noah went on to do something that so many Clinton supporters have failed to do while defending her over the years. And that is to effectively surface the contradictions and utter foolishness of ascribing the vast amount of conspiracies to her and yet, with all of her seeming cunning and influence, she has failed, not once, but twice in her attempts to win the presidency.
"Because you're not in power, but you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do, because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president." The host then added, "Honestly, what does it feel like being the boogeyman to the right?"

"Well, it's a constant surprise to me," Clinton replied. "Because the things they say, and now, of course, it's on steroids with being online, are so ridiculous beyond any imagination that I could have. And yet they are so persistent in putting forth these crazy ideas and theories. Honestly, I don't know what I ever did to get them so upset."
It's well known that Hillary and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, have been besieged by conspiracy theories going back decades to when Bill was governor of Arkansas. But the fact that Trump promoted conspiracy theories involving her during the 2016 presidential campaign and won, that reward has triggered and amped up Republicans' use of this tactic even though she is no longer Trump's literal opponent.
Just this week Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) a staunch defender of President Trump filed a request with the National Archives asking them to release emails between Clinton and former President Barack Obama. Johnson has been pushing a conspiracy theory involving former FBI agent Peter Strzok and the 2016 election — which Donald Trump won.
So, Hillary Clinton, once again, used all of her conspiratorial powers… and lost.

For example, blood sugar test strips contain chemicals that react with the blood. This reaction is evaluated by the measuring device, which then displays the blood sugar level. Since each batch of test strips has a relatively large variation, the measuring device must know the batch parameters to ensure correct measurement. As a result, the trend is now to insert cartridges of ten test strips in the device and to integrate an RFID tag in each cartridge, which contains the batch-specific production parameters of the test strips. The measuring device reads the tag automatically so that even Alzheimer's patients still receive precise results. In other areas, for example where the reagents used only have a specific life or a limited use-by date, RFID tags can also ensure proper use.
Wherever there is a need for IP protection or protection from imitations, ID technology can help – with both hardware and software protection. Hardware and software can also be clearly assigned to one another using ID. Since the expertise of many medical technology manufacturers is primarily in their software, they must use special measures to protect this software. Again, here ID technology with the relevant crypto controllers (which are often also line-based or hard-wired) offers the right solutions for software protection.
The field of mobile healthcare is a combination of smartphone and sensor technology. The mobile system records data in an RFID tag. Patients who have the relevant sensor on their person can when necessary – i.e., if they feel unwell – read the data from the RFID tag and use an app to send it immediately to the doctor, who can make an initial diagnosis based on this data.
The manufacturer produces a device for the global market, and its individual parameters such as user language can be programmed individually prior to dispatch to the dealer or customer. In addition, service technicians can use RFID technology to change the parameters of a device locally without having to establish a mechanical connection. For example, for x-ray machines the strength of the radiation has to be reset after a certain number of operating hours. The wireless service interface can be used to reset the machine quickly and reliably: without using plugs which are problematic in terms of hygiene. In many cases, certain parameters must also be set locally in the application. Although the buttons on the control unit can be used to program a dialysis machine, a smarter and more hygienic solution is offered by an app, which then transfers the relevant parameters such as flow rate, speed, etc., to the dialysis unit via RFID. If for example an English speaker is working in the hospital, then it is possible to set the user language to English via the user app for the devices that this person uses – this would set not only the app but also the device display because the device receives the relevant information via RFID.
Whenever sensitive data has to be sent via the Internet (e.g., from the lab to the doctor or from the nuclear spin tomography department to the doctor) it must be transferred securely because patient data is highly sensitive. The required level of data security can only be assured using the relevant crypto controllers. Depending on the application, symmetrical or asymmetrical methods - or a combination of both methods - may be used.
Such an element will provide information about specific medical values, such as vital functions or the level of oxygen in the blood. These values could then be read wireless via RFID. Data logging over a longer period of time would therefore be possible. Patients could even use an app on their own Smartphones to read the recorded data and automatically send it to the doctor or another evaluation point. For a diabetic patient, who records blood sugar values via RFID on a Smartphone and also keeps a food diary in the relevant app, this can create an excellent database for further decisions: in this way, the patients can better look after themselves. This improved fine-tuning can considerably increase quality of life.

The Owls passing game was at its best. But the kicking game and penalties remained a concern.
The Owls dominated the Hilltoppers last night, outscoring them 24-6 in the second half to earn their fifth win of the season.
FAU is now one win away from bowl eligibility with two games left on the schedule.
Here are the UP's three takeaways from the big victory.
Robison did exactly what he needed to do for FAU to pick up a win. And that was playing smart and limiting mistakes. Accuracy was Robison's strong suit against the Hilltoppers, and he did a great job of not forcing the ball down field when the big plays weren't available. Robison finished the game 17-21 for 231 yards. He ran coach Lane Kiffin's offense to a tee last night, and if he can continue to play like that, the starting quarterback job is his to lose.
The Owls continue to struggle to get the ball through the uprights. Kicker Vladimir Rivas went 1-2 on the night, missing a 29-yarder in the first half. Field goal kicking has been an issue for FAU all season, and its caused Kiffin to be more aggressive in his fourth-down play calling. It worked to the tune of 3-3 against the Hilltoppers, but if those fourth-down attempts go awry on a given night, it can stop the FAU offense in its tracks.
Penalties continue to be a killer for the Owls, as they committed six on the day, losing 70 yards as a result. The Owls are now dead last in Conference USA with 73 penalties this season. FAU's clear talent advantage over Western Kentucky was the reason it came out victorious last night. But the Owls will struggle to find the win column consistently if they keep committing penalties at the rate they've been doing so thus far.
Like Kiffin's approach,he's a keeper,just continue to let him do his job.He will get you Championships,year after year.

A Washington D.C. event platform hopes to bring more hip hop artists to 2021 "Art All Night" festival
COVID-19 turned the 2020 edition of the two-day event into a virtual affair, but this year, DC's free overnight arts festival is back in-person.
By C.H.
A Washington, DC based event company is hoping to increase attendance at the city's annual "Art All Night" events this year.
COVID-19 turned the 2020 edition of the two-day event into a virtual affair, but this year, DC's free overnight arts festival is back in-person. The festival is presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser in partnership with 16 participating neighborhoods and Business Improvement Districts, with support from the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities (DCCAH) and the DC Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD). DC Now Events, which serves as a liaison for companies and event organizers to identify demographics to properly curate their events, is touting its services as "Art All Night" returns.
The event platform's director of brand partnerships, Nels Cephas, believes "DC Now Events opens up a whole new realm of opportunities for all events and networking needs in DC, Maryland, and Virginia."
In a press release, the company recalled connecting several hip hop artists to event organizers in need of entertainment. "They had no idea this event was happening in NW DC. [DC Now Events] is really that hub to find their ideal venues they had no idea existed, contact the venues, and contact events to showcase new music," Cephas said in the press release. "Plus, they can contact that person who is curating that event to perform at their next event. If you're not a part of the DC art world you may not know about these art events."
DisgoFever, a 30-year-old Maryland rapper, used the company to land several gigs during "Art All Night" and elsewhere throughout the city. "Through DC Now Events, DisgoFeva was able to get three-to-four shows per month using DC Now Events as a source to find events where he could perform," Cephas said. "Between 2018-2019, he was able to perform at the Fillmore Silver Spring, and at a showcase for Roc Nation A&R Rell Carter at the Howard Theatre. He was also able to get featured on The HuffPost, and get his new music on BET, solely based off just following and connecting with DC Now Events."
"Artists in other states can also use the platform to build a fan base in the DMV," Cephas added. According to the "Art All Night" website, there are currently over 100 artists slated to showcase their work with different activations throughout the city. From Sept. 24 through Sept. 25 Mayor Bowser and her arts committee plans to bring "visual and performing arts, including painting, photography, sculpture, crafts, fashion, music, dance, theater, film, and poetry, to indoor and outdoor public and private spaces, including local businesses and restaurants."

One of the members of a recent Hamas delegation to Russia was Muhammad Sawalha, a London-based Hamas operative engaged in extensive anti-Israel activities.
Hamas delegation meets with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov (Hamas website, September 21, 2017). The members of the Hamas delegation are sitting on the right. Hamas made their names public. They are [as identified by the ITIC] (right to left) Sami Khater, Husam Badran, Musa Abu Marzouq (center), Muhammad Sawalha (red box) Saleh al-'Arouri and the Hamas representative in Russia (unnamed).
Muhammad Kazem Sawalha is a senior Hamas operative based in London who has held military and political positions in Hamas. At the end of the nineteen eighties he was a senior operative in Hamas military-terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria. The infrastructure was exposed by the Israeli security forces. Sawalha, who was put on Israel's wanted list, fled to Jordan with forged identity papers (October 1990) and from there went to Britain. In London he conducted extensive activities against Israel while also a member of Hamas' political bureau (2013-2017).
Muhammad Sawalha assimilated well into Britain's Muslim community, especially among members of the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas' parent movement). He and other Hamas- and Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated activists found a refuge in Britain. He played an important role in turning Britain into Europe's center for the campaign to delegitimize Israel. At the same time he contributed to inculcating the Muslim community in Britain with the radical Muslim ideology of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
So far, Muhammad Sawalha and other Hamas operatives who fled to Britain have been careful not to publicly admit to Hamas affiliation in order not to get into trouble with the British authorities. However, Hamas recently publicly announced that a delegation, which included members of its previous political bureau, visited Russia (September 19, 2017). The delegation was headed by Musa Abu Marzouq (who until recently was deputy head of Hamas' political bureau). One of the members of the delegation was Muhammad Sawalha, a member of the previous political bureau (2013-2017). The Hamas website and the Arabic media published pictures of Sawalha and the other members of the Hamas delegation meeting with Mikhail Bogdanov, deputy Russian foreign minister (Hamas website, September 21, 2017).
It was not the first time Sawalha was identified in the British, Arabic and Israeli media as a senior Hamas figure. For example, Muhammad Jumaa', a researcher in the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, wrote about the rise in Sawalha's position in Hamas and his election to the political bureau in April 2013. He wrote that Muhammad Sawalha belonged to Khaled Mashaal's camp and was responsible for Hamas' international relations. He also wrote Sawalha had close relations with senior Muslim Brotherhood figures (Shuruq News, April 28, 2014). However, the difference between past and present reports is that this time it was the Hamas website that reported Sawalha's participation in the visit to Moscow along with other members of the political bureau, publishing pictures.

So far the British authorities have not prevented Muhammad Sawalha's extensive activities in London with other activists affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Those activities include involvement in transferring money from the United States to Hamas operatives in Judea and Samaria (during the first half of the nineteen nineties); initiating and participation in flotillas and convoys to the Gaza Strip (in collaboration with radical British anti-Israel activists and organizations); establishing and running Muslim Brotherhood front organizations spreading radical Islamist ideology to local Muslim communities; and participating in anti-Israel propaganda activities in London. All of the above are carried out with activists affiliated with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood who found a refuge in London, the most prominent of whom is Zaher Birawi. Now, following the formal identification of Sawalha as a senior figure in the Hamas leadership, only time will tell if the British authorities will continue to allow him to operate in Britain (alongside other Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood activists), or if they take steps to bring his activities to an end.

The Viva Palestina convoy arrived in the Gaza Strip and was given festive ceremonies by senior Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad figures.
A Hamas-affiliated Palestinian in Britain admitted the flotilla project to the Gaza Strip was not intended to "break the siege" and bring humanitarian aid, but rather to promote the battle for hearts and minds against Israel.

A10 has released what it says is the first firewall solution to consolidate multiple converged security solutions into one package.
A10's Greg Barnes offers up some tips on uncovering hidden threats in encrypted traffic, with application delivery controllers.
Data centres are in the cross hairs as attackers conspire to steal data. A10 Networks details the threats, and how to counter them.
A10 Networks signs SoftnetX as its first Australian professional services partner, with channel partners set to potentially benefit.
Because data centres store an organisation's most valuable and most visible assets, they are vulnerable to attack.
Brisbane-based systems integrator Comlinx has inked several sales for A10 Networks solutions, hard on the heels of their new partnership.
A10 has appointed a new VP of Asia Pacific sales charged with expanding the company's channel operations and taking sales team 'to the next level'.
Recent worldwide security breaches, among even security conscious companies, have shone an uncomfortable spotlight on corporate security and compliance measures.
Until recently, 'application delivery controllers' (ADCs) were considered just another piece of the IT infrastructure jigsaw puzzle.
A10 Networks unveils new partner program to "empower channel growth"
"A10 is making a significant investment in expanding our channel resources..."
"The partnership is an important step in expanding A10 Networks' network of value-added channel partners, and will help to consolidate our market position."


I originate home mortgages; purchases or refinances, renovation or investment, for people from all walks of life and in several states (MN, IN, GA, KY, TN, FL, VA). The reward for me and my clients is an affordable, easy-to-understand loan and a set of keys in my borrowers' hands, or perhaps a tuition check for their son or daughter, or a new monthly budget with several hundred dollars added to their savings.
But there is more than just me and the borrower. Getting a mortgage to closing has been compared, by a friend, to rocket science. I guess it can be: All those people (in the TV shot of the command center) focused on the same rocket in the same sky, worried about the safety of the mission, the speed, the cost, the weather, the out-come? If we envision those people as the borrower, their family, their realtor, their seller, our lenders and their staff, me, our processors, the lender overlays, the state regulations, federal guidelines, well yes, I guess closing a loan is rocket science. And that's ok. A closing is a mission accomplished! Call me and we will work together!

A Rua dos Bacalhoeiros é um arruamento situado na freguesia de Santa Maria Maior, anteriormente nas freguesias extintas da Sé e da Madalena, na cidade de Lisboa.

Começa no Campo das Cebolas e acaba na Rua da Madalena. Até 1 de setembro de 1859 a rua esteve divida em duas: a Rua dos Bacalhoeiros e a Rua dos Confeiteiros. Após o terramoto de 1755 foi designada como local para os comerciantes de bacalhau e de confeitaria. Os nomes dos dois troços foram mudando ao longo da história sendo a Rua dos Bacalhoeiros antigamente conhecida por Rua da Porta do Mar, Rua Direita da Ribeira e Rua da Ribeira; e a Rua dos Confeiteiros por Rua Direita da Ribeira, Rua da Misericórdia da parte de Cima, Rua da Misericórdia de Cima, Rua de Cima da Conceição dos Freires, Rua da Conceição da parte de Cima, Rua da Conceição dos Freires da parte de Cima, Rua Direita dos Freires da parte de Cima e Rua Direita da Conceição dos Freires da Parte de Cima.

The World Foundation has great pleasure in updating you on some of our ongoing projects in Cabella. Enjoy.
To work in Cabella School means to dedicate time to deepening my own values, listening to and learning from everyone, young or old, to learn better ways to take up things. A time where thanks to Mother's attention I am lovingly pushed to improve myself in every respect: I seek, I hope with all of my heart, to reach the height of my ascent. I am profoundly thankful to have been able to experience all this. To work in Cabella School is truly an honour and a privilege. Veronica, caregiver.
- Volunteers to help with cooking, cleaning, laundry.
As many of you know each summer volunteers gather in Daglio, near Cabella, to run wonderful camps for young Sahaja Yogis (8 to 16yrs). Many children who don't have the opportunity to go to Sahaja schools get to experience collective life, learn about Sahaja Yoga and make new friends.
This is an invitation to all those brothers and sisters in the Sahaja Yoga world, to come to ''a green weekend'' in Cabella.

EPA Proposes New Rules for Getting Lead Out of Drinking Water – More Slowly
The Trump administration — after years of promising and more than 9 years of work by EPA — finally issued a proposed rule on lead in drinking water that does not require the removal of the estimated 6 million or more lead service lines that remain underground throughout the nation, and in fact, it doubles the amount of time allotted to replace lead pipes in water systems that contain high levels of lead.
Why This Matters: They may try to put lipstick on this pig (sorry for the old pun), and it could have been worse, but when the Trump Administration brags that they put this rule in place, the question should be why did they not do more? This proposed rule is hardly sufficient to deal with the scope and the harm caused by lead in drinking water in this nation.

Newark Fast Tracks Lead Pipe Replacement
We wrote the other week about Newark's ongoing water crisis and the city's plan to distribute bottled water to residents after water filters that were previously made available to the public lacked the ability to filter out lead. Now New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka announced a new $120 million plan yesterday to fast-track […]
Newark Offers Bottled Water to Address Water Crisis, Residents Grow Weary
After it was determined that the 40,000 filters Newark city officials gave out to residents to address the ongoing water crisis weren't actually filtering out lead, the city decided to begin distributing bottled water. In a startling echo of Flint, residents of Newark have been kept in the dark about the safety of their drinking […]

Military Struggling to Deal With Climate Disasters and Environmental Emergencies
burn pits
The military is struggling to cope with a series of climate change related disasters and other environmental health and safety emergencies. Defense News reported yesterday that funding ran out yesterday for relief efforts at Tyndall Air Force Base related to Hurricane Michael, which prevents the start of all new work and puts more than 120 projects planned to begin after May 1 on hold indefinitely. Disaster funding is stuck in Congress because the President insists that it not include more funds for Puerto Rico's hurricane damage.
Flint water crisis: what's being done?
Gretchen Whitmer
Yesterday we wrote about how the people responsible for the Flint water crisis have not yet been held accountable. Partially because justice has not been brought to the city, a new Democratic governor (Gretchen Whitmer) was elected last fall and just last week announced a broad commitment to environmental issues including environmental justice.
Flint water crisis: who's to blame?
Dana Nessel
As we wrote yesterday, what happened in Flint to cause water contamination at such a mass scale was a failure at many levels of government. However, despite this systematic failure, Flint's residents deserve for the people who willingly (or even criminally) stood by when they knew something was wrong to be held accountable.
Salty runoff creating "chemical cocktails" in drinking water
Last Week we wrote about the detriment that road salt can have on waterways, plants, and animals and how runoff is causing dead zones in lakes. It turns out that the story doesn't stop there and all that salt is actually reacting with soil and water pipes to form toxic substances that can poison drinking water and harm the environment. The Revelator recently published an article examining a report published last month that found that not only is salinity increasing in many surface waters, but when you add salt to the environment it can mobilize heavy metals, nutrient pollution and other contaminants that are combining to create new "chemical cocktails" in rivers, streams, and reservoirs.

Katherine Heigl Hilariously Reacts To Racy Meaning Of Harry Styles' Song
Katherine Heigl got a bit of a shock to the system after sharing what appeared to be a sweet family video on Tuesday.
The "Grey's Anatomy" alum posted a clip of her husband, singer Josh Kelley, and their daughters dancing to a clip of Harry Styles' hit song "Watermelon Sugar."
The three would turn around to wave at the camera each time Styles sang "hi" while the video played on a massive TV.
Though it all appears innocent enough, a commenter wrote on Heigl's page that the song was perhaps not as family-friendly as the actor thought.
A post shared by Katherine Heigl (@katherineheigl)
"This song is about going down on women but the kids don't need to know that," the user wrote, in an exchange captured by the Instagram account Comments By Celebs.
Heigl hilariously responded with, "The kids??!! What about me??!! … I have no idea what I thought the song was about but oral sex never once crossed my mind."
"I guess Harry and I have different adjectives to describe the experience," she quipped.
Kelley weighed in on the situation as well, writing "Haha I wasn't even looking at the video !! @harrystyles you dirty bruh 😂😜" on Heigl's page.
For the record, Styles has never officially confirmed the theory that "Watermelon Sugar" refers to oral sex, though the music video and a close reading of the lyrics provides ample clues.
A post shared by Comments By Celebs (@commentsbycelebs)
Some people wrote said that it was their first time hearing the theory about the song's meaning.
"Was not aware either. Thanks for keeping me informed," Jamie Lynn Spears commented.
"Perfect. It's my kids favorite song to sing super loud for all to hear," another commenter joked. Another added, "This is my 3 year old son's favorite song 😬😬."
