COLLISHAW
AIR COMMODORE RAYMOND COLLISHAW has fought in the air over Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Russia, Persia, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Egypt and at the present time holds a vital post with the Royal Air Force in the Middle East.
This fabulously varied career has brought him the reputation of being the D' Artagnan of British airmen; a career that began at the age of 18 with a Polar expedition into the Antarctic. Having ranged through the personal conquest of 60 planes between 1915 and 1918 and the participation in numerous post-war campaigns, it is proceeding in characteristic pace with the Royal Air Force in the conduct of the Second Great War.
Raymond Collishaw was born at Nanaimo, B.C., in 1893, in an atmosphere of ships, hunting and fishing that gave him a nose for adventure. Up and down the Pacific coast he sailed as a youthful pilot and second officer; then came the opportunity to go with Scott to the Antarctic as navigating officer. Upon his return, he resumed Pacific Coast shipping duties but with the start of the war, he sought naval service in England. Just before enlisting, however, aviation caught his imagination and by 1916 he was a qualified pilot in the Royal Naval Air Service.
His first plane was brought down, October 12, while with the 3rd Wing R.N.A.S. operating in France and just two weeks later he won the Croix de Guerre for meeting six German scouts and destroying two of them before the remainder dispersed.
Collishaw's toll mounted gradually but in May of the following year he was given command of a flight of the 10th Squadron R.N.A.S. and promptly destroyed 29 planes between May 30 to July 27 — a record still unparalleled.
On June 6, 1917, the day before the Allied attack from the Ypres salient, Collishaw fought from dawn till dark; but in one flight before seven in the morning he led his whole squadron into a pitched battle with a German squadron of Albatross scouts. Eighty planes fought out this duel that ended in a broken German retreat. Collishaw himself engaged the German leader at the outset and sent him down in flames. Two others he destroyed before the fight was over. This and other actions of that time gained him the Distinguished Service Cross.
Another red letter day followed shortly after. On June 15 he brought down four hostile craft, an action chiefly responsible for the award to him of the Distinguished Service Order.
In the furious and continued fighting he thrust upon himself, Collishaw was bound to have some grief — but he came to be known as the miracle man. Twice he had been disabled in the air and only just managed to glide his machine behind his own lines. Once in January he came face to face with the enemy only to find his guns were frozen. But rather than lead his flight into retreat he flew on with them. Once in a heavy fog he landed by mistake on a German aerodrome and only just managed to get into the air again before enemy hands could take him prisoner. Thousands of bullets had passed through his machine — once smashing the goggles from his face. Another time his machine was shot out of control and he crashed to the ground amid its complete wreckage, without even a bruise.
Collishaw was the leader of an all-Canadian quintet of black planes that was as formidable as any unit on the Western front. In successive flights, they destroyed 66 enemy planes. On June 26, 1917, one member of the quintet, Flight Sub-Lieutenant Nash, was shot down by Lieut. Karl Allmenroeder, Baron Von Richthofen's first man. It was a sad day for the other four Canadians but Nash was not killed. The following day while lying in a temporary cell Nash heard the tolling of a church bell. It was the funeral of the late Lieutenant Allmenroeder who had been shot down by Collishaw in a racing, diving, circling, climbing fight that had been carried out within full view of the remainder of the quintet.
That was Collishaw's 25th victory; but by July 27 his record had mounted to 37 and he was granted several months leave to return to Canada. Collishaw was virtually unknown to the public at this time and spent his holiday quietly with his family at Nanaimo before returning to the fray in command of No. 13 Naval Squadron operating from Dunkirk along the coast with the fleet. Submarines became his prey, together with the general assignment of protecting the fleet from attack from the air.
Within a few months, Collishaw was appointed commander of No. 3 Naval Squadron and when this fighting unit became the 203rd, with the linking of the R.N.A.S. and the R.F.C. into the R.A.F., he returned to service over land. His machine gun resumed its deadly work and again his victories were notable for his superlative marksmanship that seemed to break up the enemy planes in the air because of his excellent grouping of fire. The Distinguished Flying Cross came to him in August 1918 — with his enemy toll at 47— and in September, he was awarded a bar to the Distinguished Service Order. Said the Air Ministry of him on this occasion:
"A brilliant squadron leader of exceptional daring, who has destroyed 51 enemy machines. Early one morning he, with another pilot, attacked an enemy aerodrome. Seeing three machines brought out of a burning hangar he dived five times, firing bursts at these from a very low altitude, and dropped bombs on the living quarters. He then saw an enemy aeroplane descending over the aerodrome; he attacked it and drove it down in flames. Later, when returning from a reconnaissance of the damaged hangars, he was attacked by three Albatross Scouts, who pursued him to our lines, when he turned and attacked one, which fell out of control and crashed."
Collishaw brought his total to 60 enemy planes by a double victory on September 26 in another attack upon a German aerodrome — the last of his record in that war. A few days later he was assigned to England to take part in the organization of the Canadian Air Force and the Armistice caught up with him just after he had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
This great airman, who ranked second only to Bishop among British pilots, was headed for a career in commercial aviation after the armistice but the British government offered him command of an R.A.F. squadron to go to the assistance of Denikin in South Russia in the struggle to overthrow the Bolshevik regime. Of 62 flying officers under his command, 53 were Canadians. Here was a colorful war, wild and dramatic, and fought under very different circumstances than the long, hard struggle of 1914-1918. But Denikin was forced to retreat at the end of 1919 and Collishaw was sent to Egypt to command a squadron for service against the Bolsheviks in Persia. Here again was war under new conditions. "We maintain our aerodrome landing field," he wrote to a friend, "in decent condition by using some 500 camels and 700 horses to trample it down after each snow." Persia had become a protectorate of Great Britain, under the Treaty of Versailles, and the British were faced with the task of protecting the population from the Russians. Collishaw was given full command of the R.A.F. in Persia — a job of hard work under hard conditions that was only occasionally brightened by such a ceremony as that of his presentation to the Shah of Persia during which the Shah sat upon the historic peacock throne taken from Delhi centuries ago.
To the long list of awards for bravery in the air was now added the C.B.E. for broader services. In the King's New Year's Honor List of 1921, Collishaw's services in the East were recognized by his creation as a Commander of the British Empire. But the British expedition to Persia was withdrawn in February and Collishaw and his men returned to Mesopotamia to fight rebellious Arabs amid the fierce heat of summer with temperatures ranging between 110 and 130. In Persia the difficulty had been to squeeze enough heavy clothing into the tiny cockpits!
Finally, after three years of adventure in the East, Collishaw returned to England for general service with the R.A.F. with the rank of Wing Commander. His duties were varied and spread over a wide territory. In 1929 he was in command of the Fleet Air Arm operating from H.M. Aircraft-carrier Courageous in suppressing recalcitrant Arabs in Palestine, but during less troublesome periods he had taken a most active part in the development of tactics that have marched ahead with the power and efficiency of aeroplanes and the skill of aviation science.
Just before the outbreak of the Second Great War, Collishaw held one of the R.A.F.'s most important commands in the Middle East, with the rank of Air Commodore. The man who was known as the gay, roaring attacker of the first great war had stayed at the controls and become one of the "master minds" behind the Royal Air Force.

I got an email yesterday from Jill, and it had a whole bunch of really good beginner questions in it. I thought that there are probably a lot of people out there with the same questions, so I thought I'd answer them all here. That way, not only do a lot more people get to read my answers, but we can invite everyone else to join in and chip in their ideas as well, and we all learn.
I'm sorry, Jill, but I hope you don't mind a little good-natured ribbing here... This is the second time I've gotten an email from a lady who bought the dutch oven "for her husband", and ended up doing the cooking anyway. What's the problem here, guys? Give the ladies a break. This is the perfect way for us men to cook! It involves meat, fire, metal, and knives. What else do you want!?
Sorry, that's just me being silly.
Which briquettes do you like best?
In general, you can cook with anything hot. You can chop up a tree, burn the logs, and cook with the coals. But I've had problems in the past with some "bargain brand" coals that don't burn evenly, or burn to fast, or light too slow. I like the basic Kingsfords (not matchlight) the best. That's sort of the general recommendation among most experienced dutch oveners that I know, and my own experience has proven that as well.
Some meals, like potatoes, chilis, or stews can handle variations in cooking temperature midway through, but other things, like breads and desserts are trickier.
I assume you buy them (briquettes) in bulk, so where do you get them and how do you store them?
I get mine in bags that are about 20 lbs, in two-bag bundles at Home Depot. I do that mainly because there's an HD on the way home from work, I have a HD card, and I can charge them if I don't have the cash. Don't get the fancy mesquite or hickory smoking briquettes, because the smoke won't get through the cast iron to the food anyway.
Cooking once a week, sometimes a couple of pots at a time, I'll go through the two bags in about a month. I store mine in a plastic box outside my home, right by where I cook. That way they're handy and dry, even when it's rainy. The problem with that is that when it's rainy, the air is wet, and they do get a bit harder to light.
Do you use a lighter basket or chimney when lighting the briquettes?
Yes, I do. I also use lighter fluid. I've tried and tried to make them light with just wadded up newspaper and I've given up. I need the sauce to make the fire. I like the chimney because the coals tend to light more evenly, and I can shake the chimney and mix the lit ones with the unlit ones well.
When I dump them to start cooking, too, I always leave a few lit coals in the chimney to start up fresh coals so I can keep cooking the dishes that need longer cook times.
You said you learned that you needed to get them off the bricks... so what kind of surface do you put the dutch ovens on now?
I have these short little foot-high metal tables. They work great. Another thing I've often seen are the Camp Tables like you can see in this (affiliate) link . Those are cool because they have wind screens and you don't have to bend over so much to cook on them.
I assume that you bring the dutch ovens inside to serve from, do you just put them on a trivet?
Yes again. And it needs to be a pretty big trivet, if you've got a 12" or a 14" dutch oven. Sometimes I'll just set a towel underneath. The leg tips don't burn, but they can scratch a table surface. They've often still got charcoal ash dust on them, too, which makes a bit of a mess.
What is a tripod for?
A tripod, like this one (affiliate link) , is designed to hold the dutch oven above an open fire. I've never used one, but I've seen it used, mainly for things that need bottom heat, like chilis, soups, stews. Someone that's actually used one for other dishes can chime in and explain how it really works.
So, thanks for the questions! I hope these are the answers you're looking for, and if not, I hope that some other good readers will chime in with their own experiences to help add to the collective knowledge.
Mark, I usually buy a small bag of Match-Lite briquettes that are pre-soaked with lighter fluid. Then I drop two or three in with my regular briquettes towards the bottom and my chimney starter works perfectly. By using the Match-Lite, my regular briquettes provide heat longer than when I've used lighter fluid.
That's clever! I'd never thought of that! Thanks!
I am so confused! I asked for a dutch oven as a gift, and I think I bit off more than I can chew (hehe). I want to use my oven indoors and not for camping so I am not sure how to convert recipes and temperatures to use with my stove and oven. Please help!


Is there anyone in the Middle Tennessee area that would be interested in starting a jon boat club that could begin having tournaments next spring? If so let me know and we can talk about it more and try to get something going in this area. I am around the Columbia Lewisburg area. Thanks.

Crude prices remain almost 30 per cent below the four-year peak reached in October amid concerns over economic growth in China and the US, the world's two biggest oil users, who remain locked in a trade dispute. To prevent markets tipping into oversupply, the Opec cartel and its partners have announced substantial production cuts.
Oil consumption will expand by 1.4 million barrels a day — about 1.4 per cent — in 2019, slightly higher than last year's expansion of 1.3 million, the IEA predicted. Brent crude traded near $61 a barrel in London on Friday, having surpassed $86 in October.
Faltering manufacturing and slumping exports have stirred concerns that China's economy, the oil market's engine of growth for more than a decade, is slowing. A prolonged trade battle with the administration of US President Donald Trump is only darkening the outlook.
Output cuts planned by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners should stabilise world markets, though the process will be slow, the IEA said. To fully implement its agreed cutbacks, Opec would need to cut by a significant 900,000 barrels a day this month, with its allies reducing by a further 370,000.
While OPEC's biggest member, Saudi Arabia, has made an early start on production cuts, unplanned losses have steadied in fellow members Iran and Venezuela. At the same time, the shale-oil boom is continuing unabated in the US, which by the middle of the year will be producing more crude than either Saudi Arabia or Russia is able to.
Production in the US will rise by 1.3 million barrels a day this year, the IEA said. That's slower than the record 2.1 million increase in 2018, but the agency pointed out that such rapid expansion had been 'unexpected' given that its initial estimate was for growth of less than half that amount.

'Assassination Style': Widow Of Man Slain In The Bundys' Oregon Standoff Is Suing The Feds
Tim Pearce Energy Reporter
January 27, 2018 8:47 AM ET
The widow of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum is suing the Oregon State Police, the FBI and others over her husband's death during the 2016 armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.
Jeanette Finicum filed a wrongful death lawsuit Friday, the second anniversary of her husband's death. The lawsuit is for $5 million each for herself, her 12 children and her deceased husband's estate, a total of $70 million plus court costs, The Oregonian reports.
LaVoy was "fatally shot three times in the back, assassination style, by one or more militarized officers of the Oregon State Police and/or FBI," the lawsuit states. "He was deliberately executed by a pre-planned government ambush, after he had exited his vehicle with his hands up."
WATCH: Video released by the FBI shows a cellphone video from inside the cab overlaid with footage from an FBI drone in the air. Finicum's death comes after the 5:30 mark. WARNING: GRAPHIC FOOTAGE
Days before the shooting, Jeanette had visited her husband at Malheur, staying with him from Thursday, Jan. 21, through Sunday, Jan. 24.
"My husband took me into town for breakfast, we went to church, he was actively engaged all day with people, teaching them about the Constitution and property rights," Jeanette told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "It was a peaceful place, quite frankly."
Jeanette's husband was killed that Tuesday, Jan. 26.
The plaintiffs and authorities have made a series of competing claims surrounding LaVoy's death. The situation is made more complex by the unethical and illegal actions federal prosecutors and agents took against the Bundy family, whom LaVoy was with at Malheur, and the ongoing trial of FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita.
Astarita was a member of the FBI Hostage Rescue Team and fired two shots into LaVoy's pickup after it crashed into a snowbank. Astarita "falsely stated he had not fired his weapon during the attempted arrest of Robert LaVoy Finicum," Assistant U.S. Attorney Pamala Holsinger wrote in the indictment, according to OPB.
Astarita had opened fire on LaVoy's vehicle after it swerved into a snowbank to avoid hitting an FBI roadblock. LaVoy, who was driving, and three others in his backseat, including Ryan Bundy, had been trying to outrun federal authorities. They were en route to a meeting with supporters in another county when authorities pulled them over. The FBI had learned about the meeting from an informant embedded at Malheur, and set up the traffic stop to take the men into custody.
Immediately after crashing, LaVoy exited his vehicle with his arms up, but dropped them to his jacket several times as he walked away from his vehicle. Federal agents circled while LaVoy called, "Go ahead and shoot me" and "You're going to have to shoot me."
After LaVoy reached to his side a third time, he was fatally shot by federal agents.
Authorities report that agents shot LaVoy as he was reaching for a loaded 9mm Ruger semi-automatic handgun in his jacket pocket. Officers also found two handguns and two MP15 rifles under the back seat, according to The Oregonian.
"Mr. Finicum repeatedly and knowingly made choices that put him in this situation," Harney County District Attorney Tim Colahan said in 2016 after the investigation into LaVoy's death. "It was not the outcome that any of us wanted but one he, alone, is responsible for."
Jeanette maintains that the fault lie with the FBI, police, Bureau of Land Management and others involved at Malheur.
"I hope that there is accountability and justice for my husband," Jeanette told TheDCNF. "If LaVoy hadn't been murdered that day, he would've been afforded due process, his day in court and he would be a free man right now. And he would be home with our family."

Academic Journal Says Vapes Aren't "Tobacco Products"
A major academic journal will no longer allow authors to call vapes tobacco products. In an editorial titled "Are e-cigarettes tobacco products?" Nicotine & Tobacco Research editor-in-chief Marcus Munafò explains that the journal will only use the term "tobacco products" to describe items that contain actual leaf tobacco.
The change matters because Nicotine & Tobacco Research is the most important academic journal focused exclusively on topics related to tobacco and nicotine. Discarding the terminology used in the FDA definition of "tobacco products" may mark a turning point in the conversation about vaping among scientists in the field.
But does the change indicate a shift in thinking by the leadership of the organization that publishes the journal? The publication's sponsor is the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco(SRNT), a membership organization that has regularly engaged in anti-vaping political advocacy, especially under president Jodi Prochaska, a Stanford researcher who has never had any use for e-cigarettes.
SRNT is supposed to be dedicated to science, yet the organization has joined many times with purely political special interest lobbying groups to urge Congress to force independent vaping products to undergo an FDA review process that is far more expensive and difficult than what has been required of cigarette manufacturers. The organization has an anti-harm reduction bias that is bad for public health. There's nothing scientific about that.
Vapers have long wondered why researchers can't simply use the names that we, the users and inventors, have given to the products.
SRNT's annual meetings are known to be virtual cheerleading events for the FDA's and CDC's anti-vaping policies and rhetoric. At the 2018 conference, Prochaska brought her children on stage to be used as props for a predictable anti-tobacco speech by Surgeon General Jerome Adams. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb also spoke at the event.
In his editorial, Marcus Munafò explains that "describing e-cigarettes as tobacco products is a particularly US phenomenon." Artificially defining all nicotine-containing products as tobacco is largely a product of the U.S. Tobacco Control Act, which states that any product containing nicotine derived from tobacco is a tobacco product. That's why the FDA was able to "deem" e-cigarettes to be tobacco products.
But, he says, the rest of the world isn't tied to the American definition — and there's no reason a scientific journal should honor a U.S. legal/regulatory description of vaping products. Noting that nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products like gum and patches are not classified as tobacco, Munafò says, 'As a scientific journal, definitions matter, and a legal ruling in a single country is not a sound basis for determining whether a certain definition is valid."
In a paragraph exploring the various scientific naming conventions for vapor products, Munafò correctly rejects ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery system) for being imprecise. Not all vapes are electronic, and not all e-liquid contains nicotine. Urging authors to use the specific names for various products ("cigarettes," "e-cigarettes"), Prof. Munafò explains that "the terminology used should be clear, unambiguous, and scientifically appropriate."
Vapers have long wondered why researchers can't simply use the names that we — the users and inventors — have given to the products. Munafò, a psychologist at the University of Bristol (U.K.), has been involved in several vaping studies, and has always shown himself to be honest and not ideologically motivated. It's refreshing to see him announce a change that will make it just a little harder to use science to advance the political opposition to e-cigarettes.

She Said What 50 years of being a woman and still not understanding why bathrooms were segregated by sex
posted by crodish in TransLogic
[–] emptiedriver 1 points
I think the problem is that she's kind of not wrong, it's just a social norms issue, and if the social attitude shifts, there will not be a way to enforce a rule that is not culturally supported. A lot of social norms have changed over the years including many to do with privacy and sex-shared spaces, so shared or partially shared bathrooms could just become the new norm, and I don't think laws would stop it from happening. It would just look outdated where they tried to hold it up until a judge changed the law. The difference between justice and social norms is not as wide as we might like to think.
So it's not that self-ID is changing everything, but that it's reflecting a change has taken root in some parts of the culture and affirming it as widespread and legitimate and the right way to think. It's not the law itself but our cultural response and conversation that really matters. If we say "well, we can't stop them" that misses the point. The question is, should they want to go into the women's loos to start with? What right as a TIM is someone being denied by having to use the men's private areas? Why do they need access to women's rooms? Usually there is a longer line for women's rooms especially since we have to sit for everything, plus approx 1/5 of the population may need to change a tampon, so why should they infringe? There's no argument for their need.
That doesn't mean no one ever broke the code in the past - but there was still an expected code, and people who were "going stealth" and getting around it were making their own choices. Now, they can just be open as trans, as most of them are and use the actually appropriate toilets. If they're somewhere that they're still not "out", they can make their own choice about trying to hide or not: as with every part of their life, they can try to live a lie that most people don't believe anyway, or they can come out and be proud - and acknowledge their real sex.

East Lansing Boys Battle It Out
East Lansing Dancers Win Big at Regional B-boy Battles
EAST LANSING, MI - Spartan Dance Center (SDC) instructors Hondo Shen and Tom Morosky each took home a first place prize last month in respective regional b-boy dancing competitions.
Shen, dancer, instructor and Lansing Community College (LCC) student, competed solely along with 35 other entries in a head-to-head b-boy dance competition on Saturday, October 30th in the Taste of Victory 2 competition held in Grand Rapids by Teknique Street Dance Academy.
The competition was open to all dancers with 2 years or less experience in b-boying and brought in some of the top up-and-coming talent in the state.
Judged on the criteria of foundation, execution, dynamics, attitude and originality, Shen made it through the preliminary rounds all the way to the finals were he proceeded to dominate and take home the first place prize.
"I went into the competition thinking I would do quite well, but I guess I underestimated all the countless hours I have put into teaching and practicing at the studio," said Shen in regards to his performance.
B-boying, for those unfamiliar with the term, is similar to what many people know as breakdancing from popular TV shows like So You Think You Can Dance or America's Best Dance Crew. The term stands for Bronx Boy, which implies the New York City borough where the dance originated in 1973 as an escape and productive activity for troubled youths in the inner city.
It is often danced to hip-hop or remixed music and consists of popping, spinning, floor dancing and stylish poses. Competitions among b-boyers are called battles.
Shen isn't the only SDC instructor to taste the sweetness of dance victory recently.
Earlier last month Morosky, a Medical Technology Junior at Michigan State University, joined his fellow Robotops crew to compete in U of M Hip Hop Academys's "Diag Hip Hop Festival" held in the Union of the University of Michigan on October 2nd.
The competition highligthed 23 of the most talented b-boying dance groups in southeast Michigan as they contested to earn the top title and take home a cash prize of $150.
After Morosky and his crew advanced to the final round to be matched up with fellow Michigan group Canton Clan, special guest judges and b-boy dance veterans Bboy Born, Bboy U-Turn and BennyBen concluded Morosky and his fellow Robotops as the winners.
Though Hondo Shen has only been dancing for two years, he has created an extensive portfolio. After he started dancing and teaching at CASS Community Center in Detroit, he began to work with local dance groups like Extreme Pom Pon, PNC and Hardcore Detroit Crew, a group he still belongs to. Shen went on to compete and win in b-boy competitions throughout the state and Midwest. With his crew he has performed in the Tigers half-time show, Lions half-time show, World Salsa Congress Tour and concert performances with Evan Flows.
Tom Morosky is no rookie either. After he started teaching four years ago, Tom has since became Vice President of MSU's Break Dance Club, a member of Robotops and Weapons of Rhythm and has competed and won competitions all the way from New York to California. He has also had the opportunity to perform in several shows, including the 2009 Thanksgiving Detroit Lions half-time show with Jesse McCartney and a half-time show with Automotion and the Detroit Pistons.
"We have a lot of talented instructors here at Spartan Dance Center and Tom and Hondo's recent competition wins are proof of that," commented Spartan Dance Center owner and director Tiffany Russell.
The center is located in downtown East Lansing and offers both an Adult Drop-In program for students and adults and a Jr. Spartans program for children ages 2 through 15.
Classes at SDC include salsa, tap, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop, b-boying, ballet, tumbling, zumba and more. Spartan Dance Center aims at being the most affordable and flexible dance studio in the greater Lansing area.
For additional information about the competitions or about Spartan Dance Center, contact Luke Miller at (616) 217-7538, Tiffany Russell at (517) 999-5415 or visit www.spartandancecenter.com.

Maybe the CIA/U.S government thinks it is their duty to make predictions in the bible come correct in order for Jesus to return. Arrest to prevent a cognizable offence:-An additional circumstance of a police officer arresting any individual without having the order or warrant from magistrate has been provided in sec 151 of the code. Ii) He is empowered to order for the presentation of the report of the Auditor Basic of India relating to the accounts of the Government of India.
If a law passed by 1 encroaches upon the field assigned to the other the court will apply the doctrine of pith and substance to determine regardless of whether the legislature concerned was competent to make it. But make the laws upon the principle of fraternity — proclaim that all great, and all undesirable, stem from the law that the law is responsible for all individual misfortunes and all social inequalities — then the door is open to an endless succession of complaints, irritations, troubles, and revolutions. It may be that an institution such as a religious order or diocese could do so and retain it's specific law (although again, I don't think this has occurred so far, as alternatively new religious orders have been produced, and no complete diocese has entered the Roman Catholic Church in this way). It ought to be stated that the goal of the law is to avert injustice from reigning.
Our brain establishes relations between objects in order to generate abstractions, abstract believed, which we get in touch with intelligence. Broadly speaking, these state-centered approaches to law had been relatively efficient, reaching many gains in halting and decreasing environmental degradation. The main cause of compliance of state law is worry of sanction while the basis of compliance of International Law is the moral liability and vested interests of states. We need to remember that law is force, and that, consequently, the appropriate functions of the law can't lawfully extend beyond the correct functions of force. There is a distinction in effect (in law) among signing up to and withdrawing from a treaty.

Is it a rational position to believe that there is an all-powerful God who created the world and gives us purpose? This question has become the topic of many debates over the years. One of the reasons is because its answer has eternal significance. "The existence of a personal, moral God is fundamental to all that Christians believe." Without a foundation in God, Christianity would crumble to the ground. Without God, man would just be an accident; a result of matter coming together and changing over time. This would create random accidental beings, and there would be no meaning, value or purpose. However, with God, we have meaning, value, purpose, and answers to many questions. But is this a rational position?

The Southeast Iowa Regional Planning Commission retained Gruen Gruen + Associates (GG+A) to complete an assessment of Des Moines County Housing needs in Des Moines County, Iowa. The results of GG+A's research and analysis summarized in an extensive report provided information on both existing and future housing needs and existing and likely future supply of housing in Des Moines County. The problems or deficiencies in meeting housing needs and the factors contributing to these problems or deficiencies were identified as were housing policy objectives and housing strategies to alleviate the identified problems. The report also provided the information needed to submit an application for the County to be designated as a "distressed" workforce housing community.
The report presents an analysis of demographic trends and conditions in Des Moines County including demographic and household characteristics, the jobs-housing balance, and household income and affordability. The report also presents an analysis of Des Moines County's labor force, employment base composition and past trends, wage levels, and commuting patterns. The report summarizes the County's current housing supply characteristics including number and type of units, age, value, tenure arrangement, and occupancy status. The report presents findings drawn from GG+A interviews with land developers, builders, and real estate brokers the residential sales and rental markets and about the potential for future residential development in Des Moines County including available land supply. In addition, the report presents population, household, and employment forecasts upon which an estimate of future housing need is made as well as an estimate of replacement demand. The report also presents the estimate of demand for housing by price and rent range (based on the income distribution of future households) and a quantitative comparison of the housing needs and housing supply in Des Moines County. The report also described an analysis of economic factors affecting residential development activity. Finally, the report provided the information needed to show that Des Moines County qualifies as a distressed community under the guidelines promulgated for Workforce Housing Tax Credit Program managed by the Iowa Economic Development Authority.
To complete the analysis and report described above, GG+A toured residential developments and neighborhoods and areas within Des Moines County; conducted interviews with residential realtors, residential developers and builders, area employers, and city, county, and economic development officials; reviewed the comprehensive plan for Des Moines County and other background materials; estimated employment growth for Des Moines County in order to estimate the labor force increases upon which the need for additional housing is based; projected new households in Des Moines County based upon forecast employment growth; estimated replacement demand for new housing based upon estimated annual loss of housing stock; distributed forecast new households into income groups to estimate housing demand by price range; analyzed Des Moines County's existing housing inventory including characteristics related to age, tenure, and vacancy of existing housing stock and sales and price trends; identified potential new supply of housing in Des Moines County, including projects under construction or planned and potential supply of land available to meet forecast housing needs; and compared forecast housing needs to the estimated present supply of housing to identify deficiencies in supply relative to needs by price range or affordability level.

JR East launches bullet train 'office cars' amid telework demand

In an effort to meet the growing demand for new work styles amid the pandemic, on Monday East Japan Railway Co. launched onboard "office cars" for certain shinkansen bullet train lines that connect Tokyo with the country's northern and central regions.
For no additional charge and only on weekdays, passengers on the No. 8 cars of the Tohoku, Joetsu, and Hokuriku lines can now talk on the phone and participate in online meetings from their seats — activities that are discouraged on the rest of the train.
"We want to support a new way of working that is not bound by time and place," said an official from the railway operator known as JR East, which finally began the service in earnest after successful trial runs.
Media were granted access inside a running Hokuriku bullet train on Monday, where a sticker saying "office car" had been placed on a door of the No. 8 car and leaflets explaining the service were placed on the seats.
A member of JR East's staff demonstrated to the media how she works remotely, using noise-canceling headphones.
Passengers will also be able to borrow "smart glasses" which project the content of their laptop screens into specialized lenses worn on the face. On bullet trains on the Tohoku line, passengers will also be able to use small dividers to put around their seats and table free of charge. A similar measure is being considered for the Hokuriku and Joetsu lines.
The remote work spaces onboard the shinkasen are also available on a different railway operator's shinkansen line in Hokkaido, which connects directly to the Tohoku line.
JR East hopes the new service will help encourage "workation" trips — where people combine working online with travel — while also stimulating demand for business trips, which decreased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic.
To avoid congestion, the work spaces will not be available on weekends, public holidays and during the New Year holiday period, among other times.
For the time being, the look and design of the office cars and seats will not change, but JR East has said that they would consider remodeling them in the future.
Central Japan Railway Co. and West Japan Railway Co. have also been trialing the introduction of onboard work spaces since October on the Nozomi superexpress trains on the Sanyo Shinkansen and Tokaido Shinkansen lines that run through major Japanese cities such as Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka.

I like the new hinged aspect panels that instances are providing now in addition to full-size facet panel windows. This allows you to not solely see all of that premium hardware but also get to it painlessly. I additionally feel like manufacturers are doing a better job of handling customization wants for LAPTOP builders and particularly at the full tower case dimension. At this size, they know they will assume you're not going with a normal build. This is very true now that almost all mid tower circumstances are a bit larger.
But the cause that most builders buy a case like this is because they need extra artistic methods to cool their rig. The 1020mm of radiator help by means of the entrance, top, rear and bottom of the case make it perfect for any such thing.

Can I join the American branch? Are there dues? I very much enjoyed it when I had the opportunity to try it.
For anyone waning to try out the ol' gjetost (pronounced something like "yay-toost," meaning "goat-cheese"), I say go for it... long as you keep in mind that it's not even vaguely like other cheeses. If you're trying it expecting something like a Camembert or Cheddar, you're going to be horribly disappointed. Really, it's "cheese" in name only, in actuality a caramelized byproduct of whey. A few other blogs I've read describe the taste as "salty goat's fudge" so I guess that's as good a description as any.
This has been a public service announcement from the Norwegian Society of Gjetost (which I made up just now).
Thank you for the warning, Hyaroo. You have only solidified my determination to eat this.
I tried this cheese a few months ago. Gjetost. It is a brown, carmelized cheese made of goat and cow's milk. It is sweet with a sour bite to it. It is really, really good to eat by itself... or in the most awesome grilled cheese ever. As someone who is allergic to milk? This stuff is still awesome.
Gjetost is the best cheese in the world. I say this even with the smoked Gouda I've been nibbling this evening.
Now I'm trying to remember anything identifiable about a book my mother read me when I was little. There was a giant's castle, and the hero was a mouse from a family of cheesemaking mice, and the only detail I really remember is the bit where it's listing all the types of cheese they made, and it included "the cheese with the very expensive holes".
Not reading or watching anything new and exciting since last week, but I've just started playing Emily Short's Counterfeit Monkey, in which you're on the run with nothing but your wits, the clothes you stand up in, and a stolen letter remover (which can turn a crane into a cane or a rabbit into a rabbi with a single well-aimed shot).
I don't have much to say about cheese except I love eating it, but I will share a book recommendation!
A four-book series, actually: The Books of Bayern, by Shannon Hale. I'm rereading them for the third time.
The first book is The Goose Girl, which is an adaptation of the Grimm fairy tale. The others are Enna Burning, River Secrets, and Forest Born.
I don't usually listen to audiobooks, but that was how I first experienced these - they were done by Full Cast Audio, which has a different reader doing each character's dialogue. It's a very good production.
I'm vegan for Lent, but whenever it ends, I'm definitely going to try some Gjetost, even if it means I have to walk all the way to the rich-hippie grocery store to find it. The town where I live is not a haven for cheese, but I think the rich hippies will come through for me.
Despite a pretty adamantly Catholic upbringing, I've never been a "real" Catholic. I stopped believing in God in any meaningful way around age 8 and later the persistent callousness of Cardinal Dolan et al. drove out most of the warm fuzzies I had left for Catholic school and the liturgical calendar. Catholic Easter and Catholic Christmas have both been spoiled for me by douchey anti-abortion homilies and other unpleasantness, but Lent is the one thing I can still love, for some reason.
Here is a poem about cheese by Albert Goldbarth.
*fingers tapping* Yes, yes my pretty! Enjoy the lovely brown cheese that looks and tastes like fudge! Doo it! Join us in enjoying this horribly bad for you but so wonderfully creamy delight! Yes! Yes! Even us poor people with lactose intolerance that pretends to be a pollen allergy cannot resist! For it is a marvel of yumminess! YEESS!
I mean, I'm glad to hear others enjoy it too!
It was made of rock.
This, of course, ignores the fact that we went back later that same year, tried to go back the year afterward but had some problems (Apollo 13, they made a movie about it) did go back they year after that (twice) and the year after that (twice.) Not to mention the fact that there was never a time when the human population actually thought the moon was made out cheese.
Still, by inserting line breaks and changing some letters from lowercase to capital I think it's a (very bad) poem about cheese in three stanzas of three lines each.
How did I come so late to a shameless self promotion thread? Clearly I'm falling down on the job.
First post since last time: a long and rambling post on many topics. Honestly, looking over it, I'm not sure I can come up with a better description than that.
I pointed out that the reason for my output dropping so much is that I'm not well at the moment. That also contains my description of feeling-hearing, a sense that may more may not have an official name that involves "hearing" with a part of your body other than your ears. If that doesn't immediately make sense to you, you might want to go to the post and read the first footnote which is much more in depth.
I was asked to share an infographic comparing the cost of the corporate tax loophole to the cost of not cutting various things the sequester cut. At the the time (four days ago) I was expecting to have another post up later in the day, as I write this there isn't one. But there will be because I've written stuff here that needs to be transferred to the blog.

I would love to see some cheese poetryBe careful what you wish for, you might get it. According to the Unix fortune file, the eighteenth-century poet John Armstrong wrote the immortal line, "that which Cestria sends, tenacious paste of solid milk" about Cheshire cheese.

I'm reading "Parisians: An Adventure History of Paris." It is very interesting and varied, b/c pretty much the only common thread between the stories (which are non-fiction) is that they happened in Paris. The first story was a little off-putting, but the rest has been very enjoyable.

Over the Christmas holidays I was invited to Florida by an old friend I hadn't seen since 2005. Never mind that I have purposely avoided the "Sunshine State" my whole life. Each year my young son and I take a culture trip at holiday time. The last couple years have seen us visit first Chicago's Field Museum and a Blue Man Group performance, then New York and the U.N., Hi-Line, Empire State, and a Broadway show. While staying with our friends in Winter Park we spent an afternoon visiting the Morse Museum's fantastic L.C. Tiffany collection. When I walked into the chapel Tiffany designed for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair I did a double take, having just seen Mark Wahlberg's report on a recent Antiques Roadshow program. We also took in a performance by the Cirque du Soleil company resident at Downtown Disney. But one doesn't travel to Orlando for high culture, as even the least experienced child knows. In a city based upon theme parks, they are a little hard to ignore.
My son thought he might want to see Epcot and the Harry Potter exhibit at Universal. I vetoed Epcot, preferring for him to see the Tour Eiffel in its original setting, but I couldn't avoid Hogwarts, which doesn't physically exist anywhere else. I should emphasize that, while Luco is a Rowling fan, I've not read any of her books, and only seen snippets of one of the movies, making me a virtual Harry Potter virgin. We arrived at the gates of Universal at 8:15am January 1st. The nice woman at the ticketing kiosk tried her best to convince me that, due to 3-hour waits the previous day, I needed to pay a double amount, $175 per person, for expedited service. I politely disagreed, and chose to take my chances with the $88 option.
Once inside the park, all the pedestrian traffic was streaming in one direction: toward Hogwarts. We covered the desultory 3/4 mile walk to the castle and entered a storage area to find a locker for my backpack. I was beginning to understand why so many people were encumbrance free; lockers were available gratis for 40 minutes. After that, starting at $3, they increased in price a dollar for every 40 minutes. Luco donated a thumb scan and we grabbed the last available locker, hoping the wait would not be more than the time allotted.
In keeping with current approaches to amusement park crowd management, we were continuously entertained as our queue snaked through the castle. At every turn of the bend we entered new rooms where pre-recorded projections reminded us of critical details, prodding and admonishing us "muggles" how to behave and what to avoid. After about 40 minutes we emerged onto the ride loading dock, were strapped into top-mounted roller coaster seats, and whisked away on our adventure. What happened next I can barely recall— most of the three minutes my eyes were shut. What I remember is a series of vomit-inducing 3D projections combined with violent chair movements simulating flight, punctuated with gusts of air, steam, and animatronic creatures. When we finally dismounted, it took me a couple minutes to regain my sea legs. By 9:15am the wait for the ride had extended to 60 minutes, and by 11am it was 90. Arising at 6am New Years' morning had been difficult, but I thanked Dumbledore, and my hostess for recommending the early start. The rest of the day at Universal was anticlimactic. We rode the Dr. Doom Fear Fall vertical drop, and got wet on the Jurassic Park water ride but, after six hours, the crowds got to me and we decided to pack it in.
Next day we visited a Disney attraction, The Animal Kingdom. I should mention that our host is a recent Disney hire, an imagineer who oversees project development at all the Disney Parks. As a result, our $88 entrance fee, as well as parking costs, were waived. Inside AK we decided to make reservations for some key attractions, thereby avoiding long wait times. But this day we'd gotten a late start and, by midday, the earliest express reservations for the Everest Expedition were 5pm. My son, my friend's daughter, and I decided to enter the standee's queue. For 70 minutes we inched along, passing through a Himalayan trail-registery office, around a temple, and finally entering the Yeti Museum.
As with Hogwarts, this was an immensely detailed prelude to a thrill ride, but unlike the Potter franchise, this attraction was attempting to recreate an actual place. Having recently returned from India, I can attest to the depth of research involved. Architecturally, structures and furnishings appeared to be Nepalese. Prayer flags fluttered in the January breeze, and hand-painted signs seemed to have been purchased in India. Maps, photos, tinware, paintings of deities, and mountaineering equipment all seemed authentically antique. An exhibit documenting a "lost expedition" set the scene for the ride's dramatic conceit: abominable snowmen roamed the mountain, and might attack at any moment.
If you don't mind vertiginous ascents up massive piles of concrete (my son is not partial to heights), the Everest rail ride seemed more like a traditional coaster. At the summit the train stops at a breach in the track, then rolls down and backward through dark caverns to a rendezvous with an animatronic Yeti before another reversal and a steep headlong descent to the bottom. My friend, who worked on this event, could now reveal that the backward descent had been a tightly-kept secret during the ride's construction, but about the upcoming Disney "Avatar" attraction he was mum, restrained by the non-disclosure agreement every Disney employee must sign.
All-in-all, Everest is currently the premier attraction of the Animal Kingdom's Asian section. A time-travel ride to the past in Dinosaur World did not match Universal's Jurassic Park, and a trip through Harambe, Disney's East African village, which included a safari ride in an open truck, could not impress one who has observed cheetahs in the wild, and seen giraffes running in tandem across Serengeti's plain. Furthermore, African towns I've visited not only have plenty of litter on the ground and diesel exhaust in the air, but they do not have happy Africans giving dance lessons in the middle of the streets. People there are too busy "running up and down," as Ugandans would put it.
I asked my friend if Disney was attempting to reproduce a foreign experience for the hordes of middle class Americans who neither cared nor thought they could afford to visit the real places. In actuality, three to four thousand dollars would transport a small family direct to Nairobi. He responded that it wasn't so much an effort to recreate the experience as to provide people a reference point for what things are like overseas.
My thirteen-year-old loved his visit to Orlando's theme parks, and I have to conclude they were constructed with him and his peers in mind. As for me, my tour of Disney and Universal paled by comparison to the Tiffany exhibits of the Morse, a real deal at $5 admission. At Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island Tiffany constructed Laurelton Hall, his ill-fated Art Nouveau museum estate, but at least his fantasy-land was still a part of this world, not a commercially branded 3-D tromp l'oeil extravaganza.

This huge beast has a hippo-like head with pointed pig-like ears. It has a large, wide mouth with small upright tusks jutting from its lower jaw. Its long body is thick and hunched. Six powerful legs aid the creature in locomotion.
Every 1d4 rounds as a swift action, a thunder beast can exhale a cloud of poisonous gas in a 20-foot cone. Living creatures in the area must succeed on a DC 18 Fortitude save or sickened every round they remain in the area and for one round after leaving the area. The save DC is Constitution-based. The cloud lasts 1d4 rounds before dispersing. A strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the cloud in 1 round.
Thunder beasts are herd animals that spend their time roaming the uncountable layers of the Abyss sustaining themselves on a diet of rotted plants, minor demons, and other inconsequential life forms.
If angry or frightened, a thunder beast bellows with a low, rumbling tone. If the object of their concern does not immediately withdraw, they then breathe their foul breath and attack with their vicious bite.
A typical thunder beast is about 20 feet long. It is yellow-brown, ochre, or olive in color, mottled dark brown or black.

DFS 230 — німецький військово-транспортний планер часів Другої світової війни. Розробка планера розпочалася авіаційним конструктором Гансом Якобом у 1933 році в авіаційній компанії  (DFS — «Німецький дослідницький інститут польотів планера»).

За задумом конструкторів та керівництва Люфтваффе планер DFS 230 призначався для забезпечення висадки посадочного десанту парашутних частин Третього Рейху. Планери брали участь в багатьох операціях, у тому числі у захопленні форту Ебен-Емаель, операції «Меркурій», а також у бойових діях в Північній Африці, врятуванні Б.Муссоліні й забезпеченні поставок продовольства та боєприпасів військам в обложеному Будапешті у лютому 1945 року.

The RED MOTION MOUNT is a finely tunable neutral density filter, with up to 8 stops of ND, without having to rely on a mattebox and sets of ND filters. It's can also be a global shutter that prevents partial illumination with strobes and shearing with fast subjects and it can be a time filter that renders sharper yet smoother pans, artifact-free cyclical motion, more natural motion blur, and reduced or eliminated flicker with lights and electronic displays. The motion mount swaps out the standard PL mount that comes with all our Dragon cameras, in just a couple of minutes. Please note, this mount is not compatible with all lenses, and has a native 1.6 stops loss of light. We recommend using with our Cooke S4i mini lenses. Compatible with all our RED cameras.


In 2018 and 2019, Pace is expanding our outreach efforts to ADA paratransit riders. For many years we've been communicating with riders about less expensive and more convenient travel options. With input we've learned from riders and from our ADA Advisory Committees, we've expanded that effort to ensure that all our riders and other interested parties can more easily use Pace's fully accessible services. The materials are intended to improve the experience for riders living with a disability by increasing understanding of Pace's offerings.
This tool is available for all riders of Pace ADA Paratransit riders in the City of Chicago and the suburbs, as well as riders of Pace-operated Dial-a-Ride services. Find out more here.
Pace reimburses customers who paid fares for paratransit trips with excessively late pick-ups. An excessively late pick-up is a one that occurs 60 minutes or more after the on-time pick-up window (20 minutes in Chicago, 15 minutes in the suburbs). Passengers must still pay their fare at the time of the trip, as always, but Pace will tally all late pick-ups at the end of each quarter and send a $3.25 one-ride ticket per late pick-up to the rider for use at a later date.
If Pace, in our records, shows an excessively a late trip for the most recent three-month period, Pace mails you reimbursement ticket(s) in the following month, along with a letter indicating the date(s) of your late trip(s). So, for instance, Pace tallies late trips in the period October-Decmeber 2018 and then sends the tickets in January 2019. Please note that tickets will be mailed to the mailing address you have on file with the RTA. Sometimes home and mailing addresses differ, so we encourage you to make sure your mailing address on file with the RTA is up-to-date.
The June editions of Pace ADA News are now available. Visit our newsletter page for PDF and Microsoft Word versions of the suburban and City of Chicago newsletters. Alternative formats are available by request. Call 847-228-2322, option 2 to hear a recording or call 847-364-7223, option 3 or email Passenger.Services@PaceBus.com to request braille, large print or language translations.
TAP rides buy Chicago taxi trips worth up to $20!
Pace's Taxi Access Program (TAP) is a less expensive and more convenient way to get transportation in Chicago. Each TAP ride costs only $3.00 on your TAP card, with Pace covering the cost of a taxi up to $20.
If your trip costs more than $20, you'll still have to pay the taxi driver the extra amount. For example, if your ride costs $21, you'll swipe your TAP card for the $3 fare and pay the extra $1 at the end of your ride. TAP is a program that applies only to taxi rides originating in the City of Chicago. Anyone who has received ADA Paratransit certification from the RTA is eligible to request a TAP card.
Visit TAPandMD.com or call (800) 606-1282 (option 4) for more information!
Anyone who has received ADA Paratransit certification from the RTA is eligible to request a TAP card.
Please review Pace's ADA Reasonable Accommodations Policy.
Pace has developed specific bus stops for paratransit customers to use when visiting some of Chicago′s most popular destinations. This will make it easier for customers to find their vehicle, and for the vehicle to find customers at locations that are crowded or where it could be confusing.
Customers who are being picked up at these locations should look for the Pace bus stop sign in the area listed with each destination. Also, vehicles will use these same locations to drop off passengers at these destinations.

The World of Handwriting Analysis: Will you analyze my Handwriting ?
This is one of the most common questions that i get asked in this forum. So, i thought i will write a bit of my perspective around this here.
I took up Handwriting Analysis as a passion and something i got inclined to naturally during my early days. I did self-learn for quite some time and then ventured out to complete a professional qualification in Handwriting Analysis.
This is certainly something i want to do more and more of but as you would guess by the frequency of update in this blog that i haven't fully been able to do the justice to it. I want to update this blog more frequently but more often it turns out to be a challenge to figure out the time post work and family time. But i will still continue to update this as much and as fast and accurately as i can in the near future.
When i get asked the question "Will you analyze my handwriting ?", a part of me want to jump to the opportunity as there is something new to learn in every signature or handwriting sample, other part (which tends to be more objective) tells me to figure out the time before you make the commitment. More often, the latter part wins.
I would like to add another perspective here. When i completed the professional qualification in handwriting analysis, i thought to take this up professionally (may be part time). But i did not choose to pursue the same, thinking that it would likely kill the joy i get. Over the years as i grew and started becoming more aware of things around, i started getting connected with some of the social causes (not because its a fad, but i really wanted to for the reasons i can share offline if you like to hear). In my association, i always felt more of the people who drive these efforts are always short of cash or they cannot take up more just because they do not have steady flow of cash.
The various events that took place in my life started compelling me to raise money for such causes and thus the idea about using my skill in Handwriting Analysis to raise money was born. Though i realize it won't raise mammoth funds but something is always better than nothing or than being just a mute spectator around. Also this will help me channelize the learnings about Handwriting Analysis towards making a little difference to someone's life. To know what we did in 2014 with the funds gathered from all my hobbies, please do look here.
So, if you ask me "Will you analyze my handwriting ?", i would request you to read this post and get back to me if you are still interested. I probably am not asking for a huge sum here (and if you are my friend/known to me i might ask you to give whatever you feel is ok :-)) and i have observed that the gains of getting the handwriting analyzed are a plenty if done properly. This is one science that helps you connect with your inner self and can potentially tell you a lot more about yourself. There is even a part of this science called as "Grapho-Therapy", which helps bring the change in you by practicing and changing the strokes of your handwriting. If you are wondering about what i wrote, yes one can change handwriting and change certain aspect of one's personality but it requires practice as is needed with any change.
If you are interested to know what type of analysis, reports i will generate and associated reasonable costing, please email me at amagazine@gmail.com.

Q: Query, edit and add attributes in objects from Active Directory I need to create a small app using visual basic that will retrieve a user from AD and edit/add some attributes. The code here queries the ldap and fills some textboxes with the info found in the object property. My vb knowledge  is limited so please understand my question, i want to know if there's are better ways to achieve this goal:
    Dim deSystem As New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://etc")
    Dim dsSystem As New DirectorySearcher(deSystem)
    Dim srsystem As SearchResult

        Try

            dsSystem.Filter = ("(&(objectClass=user)(samaccountname=" & TextBox1.Text & "))")
            dsSystem.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree
            dsSystem.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sAMAccountName")
            dsSystem.PropertiesToLoad.Add("givenName")
            dsSystem.PropertiesToLoad.Add("sn")
            dsSystem.PropertiesToLoad.Add("proxyAddresses")

            srsystem = dsSystem.FindOne()

            TextBox2.Text = srsystem.Properties("givenName").Item(0).ToString
            TextBox3.Text = srsystem.Properties("sn").Item(0).ToString
            Button3.Enabled = True

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(TextBox1.Text & " is an Invalid UserID")
            TextBox1.Text = ""
            TextBox1.Focus()

        End Try

Some of the properties contain multiple lines and some of the properties do not exist for certain object, how do I insert the multiline information in a multiline textbox for examaple, and how do I prevent the code to send an error if the attribute does not exist? For now i query the property from line 0 using ".Item(0).ToString" and if the property does not exist it return an error, i need to bypass those.
And the most important part is: how to update the attributes or add new attributes for the object in AD?

A: If you're on .NET 3.5 and up, you should check out the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement (S.DS.AM) namespace. Read all about it here:

*

*Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5

*MSDN docs on System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
Basically, you can define a domain context and easily find users and/or groups in AD:
// set up domain context
using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
    // find a user
    UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx, "SomeUserName");

    if(user != null)
    {
       // do something here....
    }

    // find the group in question
    GroupPrincipal group = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx, "YourGroupNameHere");

    // if found....
    if (group != null)
    {
       // iterate over members
       foreach (Principal p in group.GetMembers())
       {
           Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", p.StructuralObjectClass, p.DisplayName);
           // do whatever you need to do to those members
       }
    }
}

The new S.DS.AM makes it really easy to play around with users and groups in AD!

Q: Correlation coefficient in repeated measures linear regression in SAS I'm running a random effects linear regression model to determine the relationship between two continuous variables (X and Y) within subjects. I'm currently using proc glm in SAS to accomplish this. Where in my output can I find my global regression equation variables?
Example code:
proc glm data = Example;
class ID; model Y = X ID X*ID / solution;
random ID;
run;

In the results for the solution option, all I can find are the intercept and correlation coefficient for the reference subject, not the whole group.


On May 30, 2017 New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio signed into law five bills recently passed by the New York City Council intended to regulate scheduling and workplace management practices in the retail and fast food industries. The package, known as the "Fair Work Week" legislation, provides several new protections for these workers.
For fast food workers, the law requires employers to give 14 days' notice before scheduling shifts. If an employer violates this requirement, it must pay the employee a premium which increases based on how little notice an employee is given before the schedule is changed. The law bans "clopening" shifts where an employee works back-to-back closing and opening shifts unless the employee consents in writing and the employer pays an additional $100, and the law requires employers to offer shifts to existing employees before hiring additional workers to fill those shifts. The law also allows fast food employees to authorize contributions to non-profit organizations through payroll deductions.
For retail workers, employers may no longer use "on-call" scheduling, a practice where an employer requires a worker to be available during a shift and either wait for a call to come in or contact the employer on the day of the shift to find out whether to come in. The law also requires 72 hours of notice before cancellation or scheduling of a shift, and only allows cancellation or scheduling of a shift within 72 hours if the employee requests or consents to the change, or there is an event that prevents the employer from operating that day, like a natural disaster or fire.
"Predictable schedules and predictable paychecks should be a right, not a privilege," said Mayor de Blasio. "With these bills, we are continuing to build a fairer and more equitable city for all New Yorkers."

They installed a black chain link fence around my swimming pool, and a Koi Pond.
It was an excellent experience. They were able to come out on short notice before we left town. We would be secure in knowing nobody could access the pool while we were out of town. They were prompt and I would definielty recommend them to somebody else.
Came out to give an estimate but never followed up with the quote so we moved on from them.

London schoolkids drown in spam tsunami
Drugs, smut and viruses on the curriculum
Lucy Sherriff Wed 11 Aug 2004 // 14:03 UTC
Figures released this week indicate that UK schoolkids receive more spam than actual email, with three quarters of messages arriving in inboxes coming from junk mailers.
Just like the rest of the world, then. Also just like the rest of the world, most of the spam is trying to sell Viagra or Valium, pornography or suspiciously cheap software.
Security firm Email Systems is newly responsible for filtering email sent to addresses across the London Grid for Learning. In the first week, it found that on average 75 per cent of mail was junk, rising to 95 per cent at peak times. Of these junk messages, half are pushing drugs, a fifth promote porn and another fifth promote cheap software. The rest of the messages are touting various services from mortgages to cheap credit cards.
The figures also showed that over three per cent of the mail was virus or Trojan ridden.
Neil Hammerton, MD of Email Systems said that the increase in drug related spam is "extremely concerning, particularly where the recipient is either a child or a potentially inquisitive teenager".
There is no suggestion that kids are deliberately being targeted: after all this is spam. The notion that spammers think about who might receive a particular email is laughable. (A quick survey of spam messages reaching this reporter's inbox revealed several opportunities to become more of a man, and a chance to go on a hot date with a lady called Cindy.)
However, the London Grid for Learning is supposed to be an educational resource: 2600 schools in the capital have connected to the network to gain access to e-learning materials. The sheer volume of spam being sent across the network will severely restrict the service these schools are able to offer their students. ®

That terracing created an area a couple of degrees warmer allowing crops to be grown more easily in the mountains where it was cool.
edit i thought warm air rose and cold air did the opposite, in regards to the sun aswell, that hole in the ground, isnt very prudent, now is it?
awesome, that might be it, it is then equally intresting how it works with sound then. hurdidurr moment; maybe they sang for the growth to help it along? :P *edit* i thought warm air rose and cold air did the opposite, in regards to the sun aswell, that hole in the ground, isnt very prudent, now is it?


smell is amazing but don't buy the tester it has minimal smell almost nothing I will never buy tester again!
Love the lasting effect, stays with me all day without being over powering. I would not buy the tester again only because of the type of spray it puts out, not a fine enough mist even tho it is the best buy for the money.
I have used this product for many many years and always get good compliments and the price makes it very afordable. When I was getting it at the local department store I was pay much more.
I love the scent...what more can I say!
