Anderson .Paak has been on the road with Bruno Mars supporting his stellar 2016 album Malibu but he recently delivered a great gift for his fans. On Monday (Aug. 7), the singer-drummer premiered his smooth ballad "Automatic" on Julie Adenuga's Beats 1 radio show. The new song also features Australian producer/singer Ta-Ku who's singing the hook.
Over mellow horns, melodic keyboards and head-nodding drum patterns, Anderson details his personal struggles in a relationship.
"Hey won't you spare my eyes / Your shine is blinding / My hands are too weak to hold that pure cup / Sip to lethal is this pure luck / Or perfect timing / God is smiling / As are you and I both hands interlocked / Souls intertwined with balance and signs your / Numbers and science / Chemistry is popping but nothing is perfect," he sings on the second verse.
Anderson also collaborated with Ta-Ku back in 2014 on his debut album, Venice. If you want to hear more from Anderson .Paak, check out his NxWorries Yes Lawd! project with producer Knxwledge.

Bengel's Gnomon
Johann Albrecht Bengel's Gnomon of the New Testament
Romans 6:1. ἐπιμενοῦμεν; shall we continue?) Hitherto he treated of the past and the present: now he proceeds to treat of the future; and the forms of expression are suited to those, which immediately precede, whilst he speaks respecting the 'abounding' of grace. In this passage the continuing in sin is set before us; in the 15th verse, the going back to sin, which had been overcome. The man, who has obtained grace, may turn himself hither or thither. Paul in this discussion turns his back on sin.
Romans 6:2. ἀπεθάνομεν, we are dead) in baptism and justification.
Romans 6:3. ἤ) Or? ['an,' Latin. The second part of] a disjunctive interrogation.— ἀγνοεῖτε, know ye not?) The doctrine concerning baptism was known to all. The same form of expression occurs again ch. Romans 7:1. to which the phrase, know ye not? corresponds, Romans 6:16; Romans 11:2 [Wot ye not?] and 1 Cor. throughout. Ignorance is a great obstruction; knowledge is not sufficient.(55)— ὄσοι, whosoever) [as many soever]. No one of the Christians was by that time unbaptized.— ἐβαπτίσθημεν, were baptized) The mentioning of Baptism is extremely well suited to this place; for the adult, being a worthy candidate for Baptism, must have passed through the experience of these things, which the apostle has hitherto been describing. Paul in his more solemn epistles, sent to the churches (Rom. Cor. Gal. Eph. Col.), at the beginning of which he calls himself an apostle, mentions Baptism expressly; in the more familiar (Phil. Thess.) he presupposes it.— εἰς) into. The ground on which we are baptized.— χριστὸν ἰησοῦν, Christ Jesus) The name Christ is here put first, because it is more regarded here, Romans 6:4, Galatians 3:27.— εἰς τὸν θάνατον αὐτοῦ, into His death) He who is baptized puts on Christ, the second Adam; he is baptized, I say, into a whole Christ, and so also into His death, and it is the same thing as if, at that moment, Christ suffered, died, and was buried for such a man, and as if such a man suffered, died, was buried with Christ.
Romans 6:4. συνετάφημεν, we were buried with Him) The fruits of the burial of Christ. Immersion in baptism, or at least the sprinkling of water upon the person, represents burial, burial is a confirmation of [facit ratam] death.— εἰς, into) Construed with baptism, with which comp. Romans 6:3.— ὥσπερ— οὕτω, as—so) An abbreviated expression for,(56) As Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we should also rise, and as Christ reigns for ever in the glory of the Father, and in that life to which He has risen, so we also should walk in newness of life.— διὰ, by) By concerning the Father is also found at 1 Corinthians 1:9.— τῆς δόξης, the glory) δόξα is the glory of the divine life, of incorruptibility, ch. Romans 1:23, of the power and virtue, by which both Christ was raised, and we are restored to a new life, and are conformed to God, Ephesians 1:19, etc.— ἐν καινότητι, in newness) Ch. Romans 7:6; 2 Corinthians 5:15, etc. This newness consists in life.
Romans 6:5. σύμφυτοι) LXX. βουνὸς σύμφυτος, δρυμὸς σύμφυτος, a planted hill, a planted forest, Amos 9:13; Zechariah 11:2, and on this account ὁμοιώματι here may be taken in the ablative. But Hesychius has σύμφυτον, συμπορευόμενον, συνόν, and so σύμφυτ with the dative is a word very significant; comp. Romans 6:4; Romans 6:6. Cluverus translates it, engendered together [connaturati, endowed with the same nature together] grown together(57).) All spiritually quickening power is in Christ, and that power has been conferred upon [brought together into] baptism; σὺν is used [in the compound σύ΄φυτοι], as in the opposite word συνεσταυρώθη; and the simple [root] word φύο΄αι refers to θάνατον, and ἀνάστασιν.— ἀλλὰ, but) The contrast is between death and the resurrection.— τῆς) that is, τῷ ὁ΄οιώ΄ατι τῆς ἀναστάσεως, in the likeness of His resurrection.— ἐσόμεθα) scil. σύ΄φυτοι, we shall be, viz. planted in a new life. The future, see ch. Romans 5:19.
Romans 6:6. ἄνθρωπος, man) The abstract for the concrete, as in ch. Romans 7:22, and in many other places.— ἵνα— τοῦ μηκέτι) The particles should be carefully noticed; as also the three synonymous nouns, and the verbs added to them.— καταργηθῇ, may be destroyed) may be stripped of its dominion [Romans 6:14].— τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας, the body of sin) the mortal body, abounding in sin and lusts, etc., Romans 6:12, so the body of death, ch. Romans 7:24, note.
Romans 6:7. ἀποθανὼν, dead) to sin, Romans 6:2.— δεδιχαίωται, [is freed from sin] is justified) Sin has now no longer any claim against him in law; with which comp. Romans 6:6; Romans 6:9, so that he is no longer a debtor, ch. Romans 8:12. In respect of the past, he is justified [just] from the guilt of sin; in respect of the future, from its dominion, Romans 6:14.
Romans 6:8. ἐι, if) The Apodosis falls principally on the verb, we shall live with.
Romans 6:9. εἰδότες, knowing) This word depends on, we believe.— θάνατος, death) without the article, any kind of death.— οὖκ ἔτι, no more) Death never had dominion over Christ, but yet it had assailed Him, Acts 2:24; and if it had held Him, it might have been said to have had dominion over Him; which God forbid. Paul was unwilling to say here, βασιλεύει, reigneth.
Romans 6:10. ὃ, in that) This has more force than ὃ, in that.— τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, to sin) The dative of disadvantage, as in Romans 6:11. Sin had been cast upon Christ, but Christ abolished it by His death for us; He truly died.— ἐφάπαξ) This has a stronger meaning in this passage than ἅπαξ. So Hebrews 7:27, and ἅπαξ, 1 Peter 3:18.— ζῇ τῷ θεῷ) He lives to God, a glorious life derived from God, Romans 6:4 [raised up—by the glory of the Father] full of divine vigour, lasting for ever. For God is the God of the living.
Romans 6:11. λογίζεσθε, you reckon) The indicative; for the imperative begins in the following verse. So λογιζόμεθα, Romans 3:28 [we conclude that a man is justified by faith, etc.] Whatever is the standing in which every one is, in and according to that standing he ought to account himself.(58)— εἶναι) is omitted by a few copies, but they are ancient. Baumgarten adopts this reading—I consider it doubtful.(59)— ἐν, in) It is construed with alive, nay even with dead too: So Romans 6:8, only that the prepositions with [ σὺν, Romans 6:8] and by, ch. Romans 7:4 [ διὰ, by the body of Christ] are rather used in that connection.— τῷ κυρίῳ ὑμῶν) See Appendix. crit. Ed. II. on this passage.(60)
Romans 6:12. ΄ὴ, not) Refer the ἀλλὰ but [yield yourselves unto God, Romans 6:13] to μὴ, not [here]: and refer καὶ τὰ μέλη, and your members, etc., to μηδὲ, neither [both in Romans 6:13] [There is a remarkable force in this dehortation on the one hand and exhortation on the other, V. g.]— μὴ οὖν βασιλευέτω, let not sin therefore reign) The same verb occurs in ch. Romans 5:21. A synonymous term in Romans 6:9. It is a correlative of serve, Romans 6:6.— θνητῷ, mortal) For you, who are now alive, are become alienated from your body, ch. Romans 8:10.— αὐτῃ ἐν) This savours somewhat of a paraphrase. Baumgarten and I, as usual, hold each his own opinion, as to the mode of interpreting this passage.— ἐν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις αὐτοῦ, in its lusts) viz. σώματος, of the body. The bodily appetites are the fuel; sin is the fire.
Romans 6:13. ΄ηδὲ παριστάνετε) neither yield ye. The first aor. παραστήσατε, which occurs presently, has greater force than this present.— τὰ μέλη ὑμῶν· ἑαυτοὺς καὶ τὰ μέλη, your members; yourselves and your members) First, the character of the Christian is brought under consideration; secondly, His actions and duties. Man, who is dead in sin, could not, with propriety, be said to yield HIMSELF [Sistere seipsum, to present himself] to sin: but the man, who is alive, may yield [present] himself to God.— ὄπλα, arms) [instruments] a figurative expression, derived from war, as wages, Romans 6:23.— ἀδικίας, of unrighteousness) which is opposed to the righteous will of God.— τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, to sin) Sin is here considered as a tyrant.— παραστήσατε [yield] present) as to a king.— ἐκ νεκρῶν, from the dead) The Christian is alive from the dead. He had been dead, he is now alive. Comp. Ephesians 5:14, note, Revelation 3:1-3. Sleep, too, in these passages, is the image of death.— δικαιοσύνης, of righteousness) The antithetic word is ἀδικίας, of unrighteousness.
Romans 6:14. οὐ κυριεύσει, Shall not have dominion) Sin has neither the right nor the power; it will not force men to become slaves to it against their will.— ὑπὸ νόμον, under the law) Sin has dominion over him, who is under the law.
Romans 6:15. ὑπὸ, under) ch. Romans 7:2; Romans 7:14.
Romans 6:16. δούλους, servants) Servitude is here denoted, from which obedience follows as a consequence.— δοῦλοι, servants) The state of servitude, which follows as the consequence of obedience, is signified, 2 Peter 2:19.— εἰς, unto) εἰς, unto, occurs twice in this verse, and in both cases it depends on servants.— ὑπακοῆς, of obedience) Obedience, used absolutely, is taken in a good sense. Righteousness, too, promptly claims as her own, those who act obediently to her.— εἰς δικαιοσύνην, unto righteousness) Supply, and of righteousness unto life: as appears from the antithesis [death], with which comp. the similar antithesis, Romans 6:20; Romans 6:22; Romans 3:20, note.
Romans 6:17. χάρις δὲ τῷ θεῷ, but God be thanked) This is an idiom peculiar to Paul, who usually expresses categorical propositions, not categorically and nakedly, but, as it were, with some modifying qualification, i.e., with an intimation of affection, thanksgiving, prayerful wish for them, etc.—1 Corinthians 14:18; 2 Timothy 2:7, note. The enthymeme(61) of this passage stands thus: you were the servants of sin; but now you have become obedient to righteousness: but there is added the moral mode(62) or moral sentiment, God be thanked, that though ye were the servants of sin, ye have now obeyed righteousness. This mode, however, in this place, implies this also, that this is the blessed state of the Romans, which they ought by all means to maintain. This observation will clearly bring out the meaning of the apostle's language in many passages, and will show the ardour that was within his breast.— ὃτι, that) so that, with indeed, to be understood, John 3:19.(63)— δοῦλοι, servants) especially in heathenism.— ἐκ καρδίας, from the heart) The truth and efficacy of the Christian religion [lies in its having its root in the heart.] Wicked men cannot be altogether wicked with their whole heart, but even unconsciously and continually repent of their past conduct, and of their slavery to sin; but good men are good from the heart, and without constraint. [It is not any doctrine of men, but the doctrine of God alone, which takes by storm (takes complete possession of) the human heart.—V. g.]— εἰς ὃν) This is the explanation ὑπηκούσατε εἰς τύπον διδαχῆς ᾡ or εἰς ὃν παρεδόθητε, comp. εἰς, Galatians 1:6; you were obedient to [with respect to, towards] the form of doctrine (comp. εἰς πάντα ὑπήκοοι, obedient in all things, 2 Corinthians 2:9) unto which you were delivered (which was delivered to you). The case of the relative, expressed in abbreviated form,(64) depends on the word preceding, ch. Romans 4:17, or following ch. Romans 10:14.— παρεδόθητε, you were delivered) Elsewhere the doctrine is said to be delivered. That phrase is here elegantly inverted, and is a very graceful expression respecting those who, when freed from sin, devote and yield [present] themselves, Romans 6:16, with a great change of masters, to the honourable service of righteousness.— τύπον, form) a very beautiful term, Exodus 25:40. The form meant is the 'form' of Christ, Galatians 4:19.— διδαχῆς, of doctrine) That rule and standard, to which the servant conforms himself, is merely shown to him by the doctrine; he does not need to be urged by constraint.
Romans 6:18. ἐλευθερωθέντες, being made free) It will be of use to have this connected view of the plan of the apostle, up to the point which it has now reached:—
From this view, it is evident why Paul, in proving justification by faith alone, against those who are in doubt or error, makes frequent mention of the gift of the Holy Spirit, and of the other things, which follow as the consequences of justification. As righteousness flows from faith; adoption [sonship] accompanies righteousness; the gift of the Holy Spirit, with the cry, Abba, Father, and with newness of life, follows upon adoption; but faith and righteousness are not in themselves clearly perceived by sense; whereas the gift of the Holy Ghost produces very conspicuous and prominent [standing out palpable] effects; comp. [God] bare them witness [giving them the Holy Ghost] Acts 15:8. Farther, the surpassing excellence of these fruits, most effectually proves the worthlessness of men's works.
Romans 6:19. ἀνθρώπινον, after the manner of men) Language after the manner of men, is frequent, and in some measure always occurring, whereby Scripture condescends to suit itself to our capacity. Too plain language is not always better [the best] adapted to the subject in hand. The accusative is used for the adverb. [According to our mode of speaking, it may be translated, Ich muss es euch mir massiv sagen, I must speak to you with great plainness and simplicity.—V. g.]— διὰ, because of) Slowness of understanding arises from weakness of the flesh, i.e., of a nature merely human, comp. 1 Corinthians 3:3. ἀσθένειαν, weakness) Those who desire discourse to be continuously in all respects quite plain, should perceive in this a mark of their own weakness, and should not take amiss [take offence at] a more profound expression of the truth, but they should consider it with gratitude, as an ample benefit, if in one way or the other, they have had the good fortune to understand the subject: at first, the mode of expressing the truth is more sublime, then afterwards it is more plain, as in the case of Nicodemus.—John 3:3; John 3:15. That which pleases most [the greatest number] is not always the best.—V. g.— τῇ ἀνομιᾳ εἰς τὴν ἀνομίαν, to iniquity unto iniquity) A ploce(65) not observed by the Syriac version. The word [to] iniquity [ ἀνομίᾳ] (before which uncleanness is put, as a part before a whole) is opposed to righteousness; the word [unto] iniquity [ ἀνομίαν] is opposed to holiness [end of verse] Righteousness corresponds to the Divine will, holiness as it were, to the whole of the Divine nature. Those who are the servants of righteousness, make progress [i.e., advance from righteousness to holiness, whereby they partake of the Divine nature]; ἄνομοι, workers of iniquity are workers of iniquity, nothing more.
Romans 6:20. τῆς ἁμαρτίας, of sin) This case contains the emphasis of the sentence; sin had taken possession of you.— τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ, to [towards] righteousness) that is in respect of righteousness.
Romans 6:21. τίνα οὖν καρπὸν εἴχετε τότε, ἐφ' οἷς νῦν ἐπαισχύνεσθε) This whole period has the force of a negative interrogation. He says, that the righteous have their fruit unto holiness; but he does not consider those things which are 'unfruitful' [ ἄκαρπα] worthy of the name of fruit.—Ephesians 5:11. He says, therefore, those things which now cause you to feel ashamed, were, indeed, formerly not fruits. Others put the mark of interrogation after τότε, then, so that ἐφ' οἷς may be the answer to the interrogation; but then the apostle should have said ἐφ' ᾧ, sc. καρπῷ [Sanctification is the reverse of this shame, Romans 6:22, evidently just as in 1 Corinthians 1:28; 1 Corinthians 1:30, that which is base ("base things") and sanctification, are in antithesis; but the multitude of Christians are now ashamed of sanctification, which is esteemed as something base. What a fearful death hangs over such persons! O the degeneracy of the times and the manners (principles of men)!—V. g.]— νῦν, now) when you have been brought to repentance.— γὰρ, for) instead of moreover [autem]; but it has a greater power of separation, comp. Romans 6:22 at the end, δὲ, and moreover [autem]; so γὰρ, for, ch. Romans 5:7.— ἐκείνων, of those things) He does not say, of these things; he looks on those things as the remote past.— θάνατος, death) The epithet eternal ( αἰώνιος) Romans 6:23, is never added to this noun, not only in relation to those, in the case of whom, death yields to life, but not even in relation to those who shall go away into everlasting fire, torment, and destruction. If any one can think, that it is by mere chance, and not design, that Scripture, when eternal life is expressly mentioned, never names its opposite, eternal death, but everywhere speaks of it in a different manner, and that, too, in so many places, I, for my part, leave to him the equivalence of the phrases, eternal destruction, etc.(66) The reason of the difference, however, is this: Scripture often describes death, by personification, as an enemy, and an enemy, too, to be destroyed; but it does not so describe torment.
Romans 6:22. νυνὶ δὲ, but now) Paul has used νυνὶ very often, and always with δἐ, but.— ἔχετε, you have; or, have ye, with which comp. Romans 6:19.— εἰς ἁγιασμὸν, unto sanctification [holiness], an antithesis to; ἐφ' οἷς ἐπαισχύνεσθε, of which you are ashamed, Romans 6:21. Ye are a holy priesthood of God. The reference seems to be to Amos 2:11, לנזרים, LXX, εἰς ἁγιασμόν; Engl. Vers. has Nazarites.
Romans 6:23. τὰ, τὸ) The mark of the subject.— ὀψώνια— χάρισμα, wages—gift) Bad works earn their own proper pay; not so, good works; for the former obtain wages, the latter a gift: ὀψώνια, wages, in the plural: χάρισμα, a gift, in the singular, with a stronger force.

Because I have chronic health problems I tend to read a LOT of comics. I read everything from Marvel Adventures that I share with my kids to The Boys by Ennis and everything in between. This post is sort of a rant though about a book that I started reading a couple years ago mostly as fluff but has turned into a book that I'm pretty sure I'm going to take off my pull list because it pisses me off so much.
Let's face it. When I first started reading the She-hulk solo series by Dan Slott, I wasn't expecting it to be a feminist manifesto- and that's okay with me. Not every book I read has to make a statement. In my opinion, it started out as a pretty light hearted, decent book. While the cover was always the obligatory "cheesecake image," there was a cute plot, some funny dialogue and occasionally you even got some three dimensional characters. I also loved the way he integreated comics into the plotline and had her break the "third wall."
Now some of what follows here is totally my conjecture so please take it for what it is worth.
On another note, Y: The Last man is coming to an end. Any thoughts on that?

On East Burnside at Rontoms in Portland, at 8pm on Thursday evening David Miller – OPB's host of Think Out Loud – welcomed guests to a festive, live special edition to discuss the future of marijuana in Oregon. A participant in the audience described their switch from "traditional, narcotic painkillers", and David acknowledged a big question being what should happen to Oregon's existing medicinal program after legalization in 2016.
In a state where there are currently 27 thousand medicinal prescriptions and forty seven thousand licensed growers, Oregonians said YES to Measure 91 by 56 percent this year. Invited to Think Out Loud, forum guest Hillary Bricken – free market, commercial lobbyist and editor of a cannabis law blog – described her clients' current and future tax rate concerns and other challenges surrounding the work taking place in Salem where the laws are to be written.
Acknowledging how the medicinal and recreational systems can work together, Matt Walstatter – owner of a medical marijuana dispensary – explained differences between the needs of medicinal patients and retail consumers. Amy Margolis – shareholder at the Emerge Law Group and founder of Oregon Grower's PAC – mentioned Dave Kopilak in attendance, an attorney from Portland who helped draft Oregon's New Approach initiative.
Ushered a microphone after his response from the audience – that there's "everything" wrong with an enterprise level, commercial marijuana industry – one Oregonian said how "marijuana is something you share, not something you sell." The opportunity for cities and local counties in Oregon to piggy back tax revenues from the sale of recreational products was debated in terms of how and to what extent taxation will occur.


The Lead Appraiser Workshop gave us a lot more insight into the details of the new CMMI V2.0 and the related training and appraisal methods. There is much more flexibility in how the model can be applied, taking into account the requirements and constraints of particular organizations. Overall I am very pleased with the direction this evolution is taking.


Commercial automation refers to the use of machines and equipment to automate certain commercial activities in a company, previously performed manually. Thus, its main objective is to provide greater speed, reliability and cost reductions, increasing the efficiency of processes and productivity of the overall organization.
Commercial automation systems are versatile and adapt very well to the different needs of a company, and can be employed to speed up sales operations and perform a more effective inventory control. They also allow you to audit procedures and generate receipts and tax documents automatically. All of these activities, while seemingly simple, require time and resources, which are saved with automated processes.
By providing greater speed and reliability to business processes, reducing the incidence of errors, automation has gained market share quickly. Soon, it will become a requirement for any organization that seeks success.
While considering this, Control iD's commercial automation products have been developed with the most advanced technologies, focusing on helping companies of all sizes to become more competitive.
Organization and Logistics: A commercial automation system tends to greatly improve the business logistics and organization. By standardizing and automating operations, key procedures such as inventory control, reporting, expense monitoring, sales management, and performance evaluations of employees and teams, for example, are performed with greater speed and accuracy.
Thus, with a standardized and objective methodology for performing these processes, automation also makes it possible to have a better analysis of customer reactions to the changes implemented by the company. Likewise, it helps with redesigning corporate strategic planning, providing data for more accurate target audience choices, as well as marketing and advertising campaigns.
All of these benefits increase the amount of information available about an organization's business performance, providing better information organization and giving managers better insights into the situation and what steps to take.
Speed: One of the biggest benefits of the business automation system is the speed increase in company processes. With automation, operations are carried out not only with the speed and accuracy of a computer but also make employee participation not necessary in many cases.
Service Improvement: In addition to enabling the deployment of self-service systems, commercial automation can also enhance a customer's experience by improving sales and support processes. A good example of this is what takes place daily in supermarkets.
When arriving at the cashier, customers don't expect to come across an employee calculating the prices of the items one by one and filling out the receipt manually. The automation of this procedure is already consolidated in the market and shops that do not use this technology are considered outdated, losing customer preference.
But generating tax coupons right after the end of purchases or producing tickets, chips and passwords to organize the company's internal processes are just a few examples of thermal printer applications. Thus, it should also be used by other activity segments, as well as other commercial automation solutions.
Cost Reduction: As we have seen above, the use of commercial automation systems makes it possible to automate simpler but necessary tasks that take time and require manpower. Activities such as generating tax coupons, signatures and password distributions become more efficient, reducing the occurrence of failures and reducing the need for specialized employees.
Where can a commercial automation system be used?
Commercial automation is interesting for both retailers and wholesalers alike. In addition, service providers and industries can also benefit from it as well as non-profit or government organizations.
Because it is a versatile investment with guaranteed payback, it can be used in small, medium or large companies. It is also a good way to make small and micro-businesses more efficient, accelerating growth.

"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow".. That's a line to an old spiritual song that's been around for decades.
For the believer, this song comes to life at many points along the way in our lives. Being a follower of Christ doesn't give us a 'problem free life pass'!
In this life, we will face many challenges and obstacles. It doesn't matter where you were born, who your parents are, or what type of education you have, you will face many challenges. No one is exempt from the trials and tribulation of this life.
Yet, Jesus tell us to take heart, knowing that He has overcome the world. When this life is over, we will see Him face to face, and finally meet the One who gave His life for us, so that once we pass through our earthly journey, we can spend eternity with Him..problem free, and so much more..
Can you imagine that? this dims the light on some of the issues that seem to shine so bright when we put it all into perspective!
Although we may not like it, God Himself assures us that we WILL have MANY trails and sorrows in this life, so we shouldn't be surprised when they come!
One day, it will be over.. TAKE HEART!

Q: Liquibase file path in Spring Configuration file I have a Spring Configuration java file in my project (i.e. with @Configuration annotation). Now I'm creating a bean of SpringLiquibase in this class. The main file of changelogs i.e. db.changelog.xml file is in resources folder. So directly it's accessible from resources folder if I use springLiquibaseObj.setChangeLog("classpath:db.changelog.xml"); method. But when I try to access other xml files from db.changelog.xml file with  <include file="src/main/config/db/db.changelog-main.xml" /> I get error that folder and file is not found.
Here, I want to keep db.changelog.xml file in resources folder and all other new changelog files in config folder which should be at same level as resources. The reason for this is, in resources folder, packages are there so folder structure config/1.0.0 is considered as config/1/0/0 which I don't want.
Is there any way to achieve this structure (shown below) with the current set up in my project?

*

*config

*

*1.0.0

*

*db.changelog.201412120101.xml

*1.1.0

*2.0.0

*resources

*

*db.changelog.xml

or

*

*config

*

*1.0.0

*

*db.changelog.201412120101.xml

*1.1.0

*2.0.0

*db.changelog.xml

*resources

A: I found the solution for this. Before this, I had copied the folder src/main/config into src/main/resouces in netbeans so it took that folder as package. So the folder name - config/db/1.0.0 got changed to config/db/1/0/0, but when I created new folder in resources folder, it worked and all the files in folder 1.0.0 are accessible correctly. Now, my folder structure is like this:

*

*resources

*

*config

*

*db

*

*1.0.0

*

*db.changelog.201412120101.xml

*1.1.0

*2.0.0

*db.changelog.xml

I can access db.changelog.xml file from my Spring class as,springLiquibaseObj.setChangeLog("classpath:db.changelog.xml"); and other changelog files from db.changelog.xml file as, <include file="classpath:config/db/1.0.0/db.changelog-201412120101.xml" relativeToChangelogFile="false" />.

A: Liquibase uses the application classpath, so as long as config is in your classpath you should be able to load them as well.
They would have a path relative to config, so something like "src="1.0.0/db.changelog.201312120101.xml" in your example.
If config isn't in the classpath, you can use the relativeToChangeLog="true" attribute with a src="../../config/1.0.0/db.changelog.201412120101.xml" but having config directly accessible by liquibase is the cleaner option.

McDonald's Managers Charged With Selling Stolen Identities to Prospective Workers
Two McDonald's Corp. restaurant managers in Savannah, Ga., were charged Wednesday with selling identities stolen from U.S. citizens to prospective workers -- a case that federal authorities said shows the risks employers are increasingly taking to mask the hiring of illegal immigrants.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Wednesday that agents executed search warrants at two McDonald's outlets and the headquarters of McDonald's-NTG Enterprises, where they seized employee records and other evidence. The Savannah-based company owns and operates six McDonald's restaurants in the area.
Agents arrested managers Oscar Lazo, 51, a Peruvian national, and Eva Ramos, 35, a U.S. citizen, as well as nine immigrants at the restaurants around noon Wednesday. They also arrested two Mexican nationals, former employees of McDonald's in the area at their homes, as well as a fifth defendant, for whom ICE did not release any information.
McDonald's-NTG could not be reached for comment. The company's owner and chief executive, Nina Gompels, did not return phone messages left at her office and home.
An ICE official said that the investigation is ongoing and that he could not rule out further indictments. "We are looking at any culpability up the management chain as well," said ICE special agent-in-charge Brock Nicholson.
Illegal immigrants, sometimes with the encouragement of their employers, are increasingly using the bona fide documents of legal residents or citizens of the U.S. to get hired.
Nicholson said that the Savannah case could be indicative of a new trend. As the federal government's "ability to investigate becomes better," he said, enterprises that want to engage in illegal hiring are devising "more sophisticated methods" to avoid detection.
About 11 million illegal immigrants reside in the U.S., according to the Pew Hispanic Center. Lacking documents, some of them have traditionally used phony names and Social Security numbers to gain employment. But in recent years, technology has made it increasingly difficult for counterfeit documents to pass muster.

Baltimore, MD – (October 6, 2011) – Tonight, the Maryland Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure ® and the Maryland Jockey Club joined Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to host a pink lighting ceremony at Pimlico Race Course.
In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pimlico officially lit the wall of their Club House pink and announced it will stay pink throughout October to help raise awareness of breast cancer. Additionally, Pimlico Good Neighbor residents have been offered pink bulbs, generously donated by Mood-factory, to light their porches pink during October.
An estimated 207, 090 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in women in the United States in 2010 alone. Maryland is ranked fifth in the nation for breast cancer related deaths, further justifying the need for Maryland women and their families to have access to breast cancer prevention information and support services.
Currently, Komen Maryland funds 15 programs in Baltimore City, totaling nearly $1.5 million. These programs provide everything from education, screening, treatment and support services for not only those affected by breast cancer, but their families as well.
Pimlico Race Course also officially announced its partnership with Komen Maryland for the third consecutive year. The return of The People's Pink Party will help to raise funds aiding awareness and research for breast cancer on Black-Eyed Susan Day, which will take place on Friday, May 18, 2012.
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever, and in 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The Maryland Affiliate is part of the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network fighting breast cancer. Through events like the Komen Maryland Race for the Cure, the Maryland Affiliate has invested $35 million in community breast cancer programs since 1993. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds generated by the Affiliate stays in Maryland. The remaining 25 percent funds national breast cancer research, often taking place at Maryland institutions. Komen Maryland is the tenth of approximately 120 affiliates in the Komen network to host two races—Hunt Valley and Ocean City. For more information, call 410-938-8990 or visit www.komenmd.org.

Do you think school behaviors are getting worse and starting younger? Polly Bath agrees with you. Have you noticed how neither punishments nor rewards work like they used to?
This day-long workshop will focus on classroom-friendly solutions to some of today's most common problematic behaviors. Participants will leave with new tools for their behavior toolbox, each one developed, tested, and loved by classroom teachers.
In the morning, Polly will focus on specific, problematic behaviors that interrupt instruction – behaviors that have become far too common in today's classroom. She will teach participants the techniques she uses, the questions she asks herself, and the pitfalls she avoids. Emphasis will be on prevention, management, and real change.
In the afternoon participants will work in small groups to develop responses to specific behavior scenarios, using the techniques they learned in the morning. Then small groups will share their results with the larger group, and Polly will provide feedback and suggestions.
Participants will leave with a collection of specific techniques to prevent, manage, and change common classroom behavior problems.
Polly always says: "It's what the adults do differently that will result in change in the child." This workshop will focus on what you can do differently.


Most of today's media focus of email security is based on inbound email threats; phishing, ransomware attacks and of course spoofing. Email administrators often overlook the significance of outbound email misuse and the trouble it can cause an organization. Spambrella outbound filtering content analysis is designed to protect your business and safeguard its reputation.
Spambrella integrates with G-Suite and Office 365 as well as any on-premise mail server to add vital outbound data loss prevention and reputation analysis.
Spambrella outbound filters allow admins to apply content filtering based on outbound mail subject line, message headers, message body and attachment file type. The rules for Spambrella filters are equal in this sense to the inbound email filter rules. Note that, in addition to quarantine, filter actions for outbound mail include encrypt and notify an internal referee. Notifying an admin or group will provide extra governance steps to releasing email which could be sensitive in nature.
You can learn more about outbound DLP content rules on the Spambrella knowledge base.
Spambrella actively monitors outbound email for mass sending to protect your domains and reputation. If a message is not delivered it will be recorded in the Email Logs and can be released to the intended recipient. Bulk senders are permitted and should be reported to Spambrella support in order to allow this outbound mail-flow rate.
All outbound messages, including those from whitelisted senders, go through attachment filtering. You can quarantine, encrypt or notify admins of outbound messages that contain attachments which include text/file type matching the patterns/filters you enter within Spambrella. A notification can be set to send to the sender when an outbound message is blocked due to attachment content filtering.
Spambrella has an Advanced service package which includes full email encryption (AES256). Recipients will receive a notification email which authenticates their access to the email from your organisation. The recipient can respond securely within the interface.
Note: Spambrella also supports TLS which can also be set to 'always enforce tls' within the outbound filters.
As a 100% cloud-based solution, there's no hardware or software to install or to worry about updating. By filtering mail at the Internet level before it reaches the network, Spambrella can save organizations considerable amounts on administrative tasks, bandwidth, end-user filtering, and even disk space on servers. We know time is valuable, so Spambrella offers market leading technology without the management and deployment headaches. Administrators can simply login to the online console and manage all users and account settings from one single secure platform.
The Spambrella advanced threat detection technology enables our anti-virus engines to provide clients with an unrivalled protection from viruses and other email-borne threats.
All messages are meticulously scanned by our sophisticated virus engines, operating at the highest levels of accuracy, performance and effectiveness ensuring all known viruses are captured and blocked. For increased protection, Spambrella additionally employs heuristics scanning technology to discover email threats currently unknown to the system and protects against these in real time.
Spambrella leverages the advanced power of Targeted Attack Protection, Proofpoint's Industry Leading email analysis solution, to provide small to mid-sized enterprises with URL Defense and Attachment Defense, the only service that effectively detects, catches and analyzes malicious URLs and attachments targeting this market.
Spambrella eliminates the risk inherent in individuals making security and disclosure policy decisions by implementing a user-transparent, centrally based, policy-driven data loss prevention filter. Users simply send email, and the appropriate action is automatically taken. Also the solution offers a powerful, customizable rules engine. This facilitates both content and event-based email management whilst providing highly sensitive levels of control regarding email traffic. The service allows users to control where messages are sent to and how they should be filtered depending on specified rules with full visibility and control of features.
Visit our fully searchable Knowledge Base for FAQ's and detailed service information.
Auto User Provisioning (SMTP discovery), by default will automatically add unregistered users to the service when three valid messages are received from that unique address (within 30 days), or one valid message has been sent outbound from your email server via the Spambrella Platform. (These settings can be customised by an Administrator). SMTP Discovery can be enabled/disabled from your Organisation's Spam settings tab in the Spambrella interface.
When moving from one filtering service to another, or setting up for the first time, there are steps to include when setting up Spambrella that may be forgotten outside of our standard steps.
Like the firewall settings, your mail server may have specific IP ranges that accept mail. Please make sure to add in the Spambrella IP ranges into your current mail server security settings. This is especially important for when moving from a different filtering service and you are only accepting mail your previous providers IPs.
Note: The Spambrella logs will indicate we will be setting your mail status as "Deferred" if we cannot talk to your mail server.
For outbound mail, although you may have set-up the smarthost properly, this does not mean mail will flow to the Spambrella smarthost. If you have specific rules in place please check your rules to see if any exist that could contradict sending to the Spambrella server.
Note: Spambrella support would not be able to easily assist you on this. If mail does not flow into our server via SMTP, we would not see anything at all, even in our logs. You would need to diagnose this on your mail server, hence please check your outbound rules and logs first.
Data Loss Prevention can be enabled or disabled on the Spambrella features page.
At present, only Spambrella Admins and Spambrella Staff can enable the DLP feature. This is planned for availability to all admins in the March 2015 release.
Q. Does Spambrella support custom dictionaries?
Does Spambrella monitor outbound email as spam?
Spambrella does filter outbound email for SPAM. If a message is not delivered it will be recorded in the Email Logs and can be released to the intended recipient. Please note that similar messages of this nature are likely to be quarantined in future.
Please Note: Spambrella does not block an email outright for the SPF entry. This is because there are a large number of domains that have an incorrect SPF record. We will just increase the overall spam score.
Spambrella do not bill for: Domains, Shared mailboxes/Distribution groups, aliases etc.
Spambrella bill for: Active primary user accounts on any domain (beating hearts).

Inquiry & Analysis Series
Concern In Jordan Over Pro-Iranian Forces On Border
By: Z. Harel*
The achievements of the Syrian regime and its allies in southern Syria in recent months have sparked growing concern in Jordan about the increasing presence of pro-Iranian forces on the Syria-Jordan border. Jordan's King 'Abdallah II expressed this concern in September this year: "We take a keen interest in the developments in southern Syria, and defending our northern border against the terror organizations and foreign militias is a top priority for us... We are ready and able to respond forcefully to any escalation that could threaten us, whether on the part of ISIS or any foreign group fighting in Syria." [1] Jordan's apprehensions regarding Iran's expansion in the region are nothing new. King 'Abdallah warned as early as 2004 about the emergence of a "Shi'ite Crescent" – a territorial continuum stretching from Iran through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon.
In an attempt to prevent the consolidation of these forces' presence on the Jordanian border, in the recent months Jordan and the U.S. held intensive talks with Russia, an ally of the Syrian regime, to delineate a de-escalation zone in southern Syria like those formed as part of the Astana talks sponsored by Russia, Iran and Turkey. In July 2017, an agreement for a ceasefire in southern Syria was signed in Amman under the aegis of Jordan, the U.S. and Russia. This led, in November 8, 2017, to the signing of a memorandum of principles by the three countries on the establishment of a de-escalation zone in southern Syria.
It appears, however, that this memorandum of principles has failed to quell Jordan's fears. The details of the memorandum have not been fully disclosed,[2] but intense disagreements reportedly emerged between the signatory states in the days following its signing, especially regarding the presence of the pro-Iranian forces. The Jordanian daily Al-Ghad reported that, "in the new memorandum of principles, the Syrian parties – [namely] the regime and opposition in southern Syria, [both] pledged to clear the territories under their control of foreign organizations and militias."[3] But Russian officials, headed by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, stated that Russia had not signed any clause requiring the Iran-affiliated forces to leave Syria.[4]
Moreover, in the recent days Arab and foreign media reported that Iran is indeed consolidating its presence in southern Syria. According to these reports, Brigade 313, a force that was established in the Izra area, 30 km from the Jordanian border, comprises Syrian fighters but is directly subordinate to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).[5] It has also been reported that Iran has established a military base in the Al-Kiswa area, 13 km south of Damascus.[6]
In light of these developments, articles recently published in the Jordanian press expressed apprehension over the Iranian presence in southern Syria, and even called to prevent it by military means. Some advised not to count on the memorandum of principles and on the de-escalation zone it establishes. An article in the government daily Al-Rai harshly criticized the U.S. for not acting to prevent Iran's expansion in the region.
The following are excerpts from these articles:
The Jordan-Syria border region (image: Al-Ghad, Jordan, November 11, 2017)
Al-Rai Article: U.S. Doing Nothing To Prevent Iranian Expansion In Region
Faisal Malkawi, a senior member of the Al-Rai editorial board, warned about the Iranian expansion in the region and the emergence of a territorial continuum from Iran to the Mediterranean through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. He also criticized America's failure to prevent this development, writing: "The puzzling fact is that the U.S. under Donald Trump, which proclaims [the adoption of] a radical strategy vis-à-vis Iran, its nuclear program and its interference in the region, is in practice doing nothing about the Iranian expansion. This is especially [grave] in light of the imminent completion of the land route from Tehran to Beirut. This route passes through American influence zones and close to U.S. bases in northeastern Syria. The Americans and their allies, the Syrian Democratic Forces, also have troops and bases east of Deir Al-Zor and in Al-Tanaf, while [only] kilometers away, within their line of sight, IRGC and Hizbullah militia forces [recently] entered the Syrian city of Al-Bukamal and held public celebrations there... The Iranian presence on the Syria-Iraq border allows Tehran to complete its land route and defend it militarily and strategically as an influence and interference zone that will be part of any future solution..."[7]
Former Information Minister Al-Qallab: We Must Not Allow Militias On Our Border, Even At Cost Of Military Action
In his column in the government daily Al-Rai, former Jordanian information minister Saleh Al-Qallab called on Jordan to be very cautious despite the signing of the memorandum of principles on the de-escalation zone in southern Syria, and to continue insisting on the withdrawal of the Iranian forces from Syria, even if this requires military action against them: "Having heard provocative statements from Ali Akbar Velayati, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, who was visiting Iranian forces and the militias under their command in Aleppo,[8] and since those who closely monitor the Syrian arena have revealed that Iran has a military base south of Damascus, [a base] that faces Jordan, rather than the Israeli occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights, we must think very carefully before applauding the Russian and American decision to establish a de-escalation zone in southwestern Syria...
"We must not fall asleep or start ululating in joy over this agreement, whose details are not yet fully known and which is still [nothing but] ink on paper... We must not rest on our laurels, for we have heard the statements of [Iranian President] Hassan Rohani, [Khamenei's advisor] Ali Akbar Velayati and [Hizbullah secretary-general] Hassan Nasrallah. Before celebrating the promise to establish a [quiet] front in southwestern Syria, we must insist on the condition that the Iranians leave our sister state [Syria], starting with the removal of [their forces] from our northern border. We must not tolerate any militia close to the border, even if this obligates us [to deploy] the Arab Jordanian army. What is happening in Syria is a game between nations. This is a dirty game, [so] we must not believe anyone's [promises regarding the removal of the Iranian forces] until we see it with our own eyes."[9]

Al-Dustour Board Chairman: Iran's Presence On Our Border – An Intolerable Strategic Threat
Muhammad Daoudia, board chairman of the Al-Dustour daily, wrote under the title "The Iranian Threat to Jordan": "Various Iranian leaders declare that their country is expanding and establishing itself in several Arab capitals – Baghdad, Sanaa, Beirut and Damascus – and this comes on top of the courtship between Iran and Hamas and Iran's insistence on encroaching on our northern border. Senior Iranian military commanders and representatives of Iranian militias in the region have made public statements aimed at Jordan, sometimes intended to threaten it and sometimes to pressure it. [The former] commander of the Iranian Basij, General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, said that his Basij would maintain a presence in Jordan, just as it does in Lebanon and Palestine. Shi'ite fighters are streaming into Syria by the thousand, from Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran, under the command of [Iranian] General Qassem Soleimani and with the support of the IRGC and [its] Qods Force...
"From our perspective, the sectarian [i.e., Shi'ite] militias under Iran's command are approaching our border from the north, taking the place of the ISIS terror organization and working to gain a foothold on this front, thus posing an ever-increasing security challenge for us. This will cause us to confront Iran along our 350-km border with Syria...
"Iran has begun to lay the foundations for a military industry in Syria and Lebanon, including facilities for manufacturing long-range missiles...[10]
"Iran's conduct has prompted us to treat this 'Iranian neighbor' as a strategic threat that cannot be accepted, forcing [us] to take the necessary measures to maintain security and stability on our border [and safeguard it] against any threat and any presence of the sectarian militias commanded by Iran..."[11]
Jordanian Researcher: The Establishment Of Brigade 313 And The Atmosphere In The Region Require Reassessment Of Our Position And Preparations For The Future
Muhammad Abu Rumman, a researcher at the Center of Strategic Studies in the University of Jordan, wrote in his column in Al-Ghad: "Despite the signing last Wednesday [November 8] of a de-escalation agreement in southern Syria... –[an agreement] intended to reinforce the July [2017] Amman agreement between the U.S. and Russia – the situation is apparently not so simple, considering that regional developments have turned the entire situation on its head...
"The new surprise [that occurred] during the preparations for the de-escalation agreement in southern Syria was the founding of local militias in Deraa (Brigade 313), which according to the Syrian opposition are sectarian in character, as well as militias in Izra which are fully supported by Iran's IRGC and are modeled on local sectarian militias previously established in Iraq and Syria.
"This move involves considerable cunning on the part of the Iranians, for these militias are local and are somewhat removed from the Jordanian border, yet they were established for a more important [goal] in the next phase, namely bringing the sectarian conflict into the southern parts [of Syria] and securing Iran a foothold [there], as well as tools for confronting other elements... Such an Iranian move was probably not part of Jordan's and America's considerations and analyses...
"True, Jordan's balanced and rational position amid this poisoned regional atmosphere is met with approval by a large portion of the Jordanian public, which fears that the region may slide into an [even] worse phase. Nevertheless, this position may exact a higher price [in the future]..."[12]
Al-Dustour Article: The Establishment Of Brigade 313 On The Jordanian Border Is Jordan's And Iran's Last Tango
'Oraib Al-Rantawi, director of the Center for Political Studies in Amman, wrote in his Al-Dustour column, under the title "Jordan's and Iran's Last Tango": "Relations between countries are like a tango. They require two parties, and cannot develop unilaterally... Over the years, and perhaps throughout the last four decades, Jordan's relations with Iran were based on two main criteria, from the Jordanian perspective: first, on whether Jordan's relations with the Gulf [states] were [characterized by] crisis or by normalization, and second, [on the state of] the relations between Tehran and Washington. As a matter of principle, Jordan cannot disregard her two main allies, Washington and Riyadh...
"Every time Jordan wanted to convey a message of good will to Iran, it was met with a cold shoulder and with a blow. Amman's and Tehran's last tango occurred last night, when a Lebanese friend of mine asked me about Brigade 313 of [Iran's] Revolutionary Guards Corps, which is [reportedly] being formed in southern Syria and is headquartered in the town of Izra in the Deraa Governorate... This is happening even though Tehran – one of the guarantors in the track of the Astana talks [on Syria] – is well aware of the Jordanian position which firmly demands that the 'sectarian militias' [i.e., the Iranian forces and their affiliated Shi'ite militias] maintain a buffer zone between themselves and the Syria-Jordan border. Moreover, these reports arrive when the region is on the brink of the abyss, and it takes only a small push or some accidental unfortunate incident to [make it] slide to the bottom..."[13]
Former Information Minister Al-Ma'aita: Every Country Will Have To Defend Itself Against Iran's Expansion Plan, Like It Did Against ISIS
Former Jordanian information minister Samih al-Ma'aita wrote in the Jordanian e-daily Amon News: "Jordan understands Iran's moves and mentality very well, and [realizes] that Iran yearns to repeat what it has [already] done in Lebanon, Yemen, Bahrain and Iraq in additional [Arab] capitals...
"Jordan, which is inclined to oppose the Iranian expansion plan, yearns [to see] a deterrent Arab diplomacy vis-à-vis this plan. In any case, it seems that the Iranian-Arab issue will be the next [pressing] issue, now that ISIS has declined [in importance]. Perhaps each country will have to defend itself, as was the case with ISIS and the danger it posed, until something [finally] causes Iran to understand that it is part of the region rather than its master."[14]

Q: Rendering a facebook like button with top.location.href I'm trying to make a dynamic fb-like button that gets the page location but I'm looking for the best practices for replacing the data-href element of html:
I have two pieces of the puzzle:

*

*

*top.location.href

Which js method would allow top.location.href to replace data-href element, AND render the facebook like button?

A: Like you normally would?
document.getElementById("the_like_button").setAttribute("data-href", new_value);

or:
$("#the_like_button").attr("data-href", new_value);

If you prefer jQuery.


I was watching Queen Sugar a few weeks ago. Aunt Vi was telling Nova about a conversation Nova's parents had, many years ago, to help Nova understand her parents' relationship.
When I heard that line, I was jealous. Jealous that I hadn't been able to articulate that when I needed to.
We can all put on a good show if we have to (some of us even when we don't have to).
You smile at them folks at your job you can't stand.
You put up with the friend-of-a-friend who always get invited to brunch.
But when you get home—whether home is a physical place or a state of being around people you trust—you take off the mask and get back to who you are.
You have opinions that might stir the pot when you share them.
You clap back when someone says something you don't like.
You share how you really feel, maybe even unapologetically.
You send people to voicemail you know you don't want to talk to.
Maybe you live with your mask on.
Maybe you have not found a place safe enough to be your whole self. If that's your case, start by finding some new friends.
Maybe, instead of being yourself, you continuously choose to play a character.
You know what happens when you live like that?
You trap yourself in a persona who doesn't have a truth.
And, if I'm being honest about what I've observed, you struggle to make meaningful ongoing connections with other people.
What's the point of being someone people like if you know it isn't you they're vibing with?
What are you even doing with that kind of attention?
And how are you coping with the loneliness that leaves?
Look. What I'm saying right now is…bold.
And I know that some of you wonder why I even have the nerve to call all of this out.
I think I am, and have been, a friend, relative, girlfriend, coach, and advisor to people who won't give in to who they are.
People might not get you.
People might not like you.
But, if you're giving people a show instead of the truth, they already don't like you.
Because they don't know you. And, at this rate, they never will.
Tell me though: what could be so wrong about you that it's better for no one to know you than to have someone actually love you?
We'll dig more into that one next week.


Put simply it is a three part approach to solving the crime problem. Denton County Crime Stoppers relies on cooperation between the police, the media, and the general community to provide a flow of information about crime and criminals.
Calls are received at the Denton County Crime Stoppers tip line phone. This phone is a stand alone instrument which is answered 24 hours per day, does not provide caller ID, and conversations are not recorded. The Denton County Crime Stoppers law enforcement or civilian Coordinator receiving the information completes the tip information form, makes initial inquiries and then passes the information to the investigating officer. Calls are accepted regarding any publicized request for information, such as "Crime of the Week" or such other crime(s) the caller has knowledge of.
By guaranteeing a caller's anonymity Denton County Crime Stoppers allows the caller to give information in a positive atmosphere without the prospect of retribution. By offering cash rewards for information leading to indictment or arrests, the program encourages otherwise reluctant callers to provide information.
Rewards are only paid out when your tip information actually helps to solve any unsolved crime.
Rewards will not paid out when the information is already known to the investigating agency or investigator.
The Denton County Crime Stoppers program is funded by probation fees paid by probationers. NO TAX DOLLARS are involved.

Love Notes – One final note
What three words can make you happy when you're sad, and sad when you're happy?
Nothing is forever.
I read that riddle in one of my favourite mystery novels a number of years ago and it has always stuck with me, because in every situation we go through in life it rings true, one way or the other.
Except this time it applies both ways for me. I've always known it would be a very sad day when I left this community. But I also knew that in order for me to do that, it would have to be for a very good reason.
I'm sad to announce I will be leaving the Maple Creek News and this wonderful town next week. But I'm also happy to say it's because I've received an excellent job opportunity that will allow me to expand my horizons and meet new challenges as a reporter and photographer in Spruce Grove, Alta.
The past six years have been amazing, and I'm so glad I had the chance to experience life in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. As I leave here, I say goodbye to dozens of friends who became like family when I was thousands of miles away from my own. (I've also probably made a couple enemies along the way who are glad to see me go, in which case it's a win-win all around).
When I came here as a naive 22-year-old fresh out of college with little life experience, this community gave me a whole lot of it. I attended my first rodeo here, returning home mud-covered and grinning ear to ear. I was here when the flood ripped through Maple Creek. I watched the vision of a new health care facility become a reality. I cultivated new friendships and watched these amazing people go from a 'me' to a 'we', getting married and starting families of their own. I bought my first house here. I sold my first house here.
I honestly didn't expect to last any longer than a year or two in this place, doing my time out West before moving back to Ontario like so many other reporters do. But this community surprised me, and I surprised myself.
I have to admit, being a reporter in a small town is pretty much the best gig ever. I can't even say how many times I haven't been able to get a hold of someone for an interview, then walked downtown to get my mail only to run into them at the post office. I've also retained an impressive amount of knowledge in the areas of cattle, crops, taxes, cougars and even masonry after all the research and interviews I've done while working on articles. And I've actually only had two people hang up on me, which says a lot in itself about the politeness of everyone in the Southwest.
But really, all I can say is thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve this community doing what I love. Thank you for allowing me to tell your stories; for inviting a near stranger into your homes so you could share them with me and give me the chance to share them with others; for taking time out of your day to chat with me on the phone. Thank you for making the effort to stop me on the street or in the store to offer a news tip or a thanks for something I wrote or photographed.
My job is a strange one in the sense that it means I'm often there on either one of the worst days of someone's life or one of the best. It has meant dealing with a number of tragic events that were difficult to report on. But it has also meant letting people know about a lot of amazing things and the amazing people making them happen.
A rewarding part of my time here is knowing that bits and pieces of my work will live on in the scrapbooks and photo albums of residents — whether it's something as simple as someone's grandson playing in his first minor hockey tournament or something as historically significant as the flood of 2010. It all matters to someone.
Thank you for making me a part of your community. I will never forget this gem of a place and the people who made it a very memorable opportunity for me to grow as a person.
It's been said people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Whichever describes you and I, thank you for having an impact on my life, and I hope I've touched yours in a positive way, too. Maybe we'll see each other again someday.

Opening in the northern California towns of Colma, San Leandro and Pittsburg, Old Navy division grew quickly. In 1997, it was the first retailer to pass $1 billion in its first four years in business. By 2000, there were 500 Old Navy stores by 2000. In 2001, Old Navy began am the international expansion, opening twelve stores in Ontario, Canada.

The 'Chien Caniveau' concept and associated signage is finally at an end. As illustrated by this sign fragment seen in Paris this week. The pavement has been relaid to create Autolib parking and the hind quarters of the dog is all that remains of the Caniveau sign. The end of an era!
