And anyone else who needs a reference point for engagement on Twitter.
I recently tweeted about my follower/following numbers (not the figures) but the fact that about 3/4 months ago I followed a series of well known firms of solicitors. I say "well known" in the context of the legal profession not necessarily the general public or the business community (outside I suspect of a smallish geographical territory).
My theme – which I got a lot of comments about – was that in nearly every case (certainly well over 95%) not one of them had followed me and looking deeper into their feeds it was difficult to find any or any meaningful engagement. What I did see was a broadcast mentality, largely focused around their off line material: client wins, legal news relating to their firm and a bit of CSR news in a few cases.
I didn't get into their own follower/following numbers but certainly one large firm that I looked at seemed to have a reasonable number of followers – well over 700 – and I was therefore even more surprised to see an almost completely lack of engagement.
Now, I know it is easy to criticize, and in fact I should be embracing and complimenting those firms that have that have taken the trouble to occupy one of the new media platforms but I don't just think this is helpful to those firms that may be looking to replicate their pattern of behaviour, particularly given there are so many great examples of business that use Twitter as part of the customer experience (I assume legal practices have the client in mind with Twitter?).
One issue that is also synonymous is the fact that all these are House Twitter accounts, being the name of the firm. Now I am not saying this is wrong but as Brian Inkster of Inksters has shown, it is possible to combine both a House Twitter style but also allow people in your firm to have their own Twitter accounts. I will come back to this dichotomy in a subsequent post, but for now I would just ask you to consider that there is bound to be the perception that Brand [XYZ] firm of solicitors is unlikely to be as authentic as a person tweeting in their own name, even if they are subject to the same or similar Twitter Guidelines.
Apart from this point, here is my initial top 10 Guidelines for law firms. I say "initial" because it is just a foundation and it is up to you to consider what works best for you and your practice but I do recommend that you have something written down before engagement starts.
Check the firm's IT, HR, Social Media policies (if they exist) or at the very least your contract of employment and staff handbook. More firms are looking at relaxing their firm's rules for engagement. Don't score an own goal of going against an express rule that forbids the use of Twitter in firm time, where you either set up a firm account or immediately start tweeting as if you are tweeting on behalf of the firm.
Assuming that you have got the go ahead to use Twitter, make sure you have the time to engage with the platform. I use the work "engage" deliberately because it is not a case of sitting at your computer and bashing our a series of tweets and expecting that to be end of the story. Twitter followers expect engagement – you know a two-way process. And don't forget a lot of these folk may not be clients, in profile, type or interest. I am not saying you cannot block those people that are hell-bent on spamming you or sending inappropriate messages but if someone sends a message to you or comments on something that is relevant to your reason for engagement on Twitter, then you will be expected to say something, limited of course to 140 characters.
Be transparent and if you are allowed to use a Twitter account that bears your initials and also the firm name (my preferred choice for those firms that do allow their staff to use the medium), then talk as you would normally do so. Please don't be overly formal and use appropriate language. Unfortunately the ubiquitous disclaimer won't fit into 140 characters although you may have decided in your Twitter profile to have something that makes it clear you are not seeking to or giving legal advice and nothing you say should be relied upon etc.
Post something that has meaning and does not link automatically to your firm's website or latest published newsletter. How about a piece of news from a relevant site making it clear the source of the news or re-tweeting a blog post that you like and has depth of content to your followers and those that you think may wish to follow you.
NEVER represent yourself or the firm in a false or misleading way. I tend to adopt a pause button with a lot of my tweets. I like to pause and look at the tweets for at least 10-20 seconds before I hit the send button and in that way I have given myself a tool to moderate what I say.
It is perfectly acceptable to reference your firm's blog, particularly if you have written it, but don't sit there for the next two hours shouting out the blithe message "My new blog post just up" or another one I see a lot "Just in case you missed it here is my latest blog post". Now that's fine once or twice but not every time as I see with a few people. No broadcast please.
If you want to tweet about the competition then be very careful. They may bite back. I would speak to someone internally before you go near this area.
Please, please respect your clients' confidentiality, privacy and rights. Don't comment on current cases that you or the firm are involved in. I know this sounds obvious but you may find yourself contacted by a client. In those circumstances you should seek at the very earliest opportunity to set up an off line discussion or communicate via email or as a last resort I would DM on Twitter. Remember that content on Twitter will be around for a long time and certainly as the Dr Gillian McKeith exchanges showed things can go quickly awry.
Respect your audience. Don't become personal.
Now this is not by any means an exhaustive list but it should give you a starting point to consider how best to use Twitter.
These Guidelines are unquestionably generic in their nature and if you are thinking that they need to be more prescriptive then that is just fine, but do bear in mind that when you have a conversation with someone you apply a sense of decency, there is a level of trust and you use your good sense as to what to say and not to say. And that is no different with Twitter. If you have too many rules then there is a risk that it comes across as a very stilted, unimaginative and non-authentic conversation. Ask yourself would you want to have a conversation with someone who conveyed those characteristics.
I would interested to hear about your own experience of using Twitter. What do you like/not like? Has it become too noisy to make sense of the conversations going on? Have you been able to find the time to engage? Will mobile technologies have an influence on habits of people of using Twitter?
I think for those who have taken the plunge there is a lot we can do to help those who are standing on the sidelines and I will be returning to Twitter with some further posts, particularly around the question of how to earn attention and use it meaningfully.
#2 is my favorite from your list. Engaging with people on twitter is definitely key.
thanks Samantha. I love Brian Solis's book Engage which has some great material as the Name suggests.
Nice advice and agree engagement is key and broadcasting is V bad on Twitter.
they could gain help in keeping their twitter streams relevant.
areas of relevance, of interest to their followers.
regularly email out. Can they seed out, the popular & helpful content and enable people to find them.
saying about them & make the most of referrals in real time.
Depending on the legal case Twitter may also help them manage the reputation of others. Maybe !
Nice article. The key to all social media is to be, well, social. Point 6 is the one that provokes interest for me. It's a good point. I follow a lot of law firms and generally their tweets are along the lines you mention, dry, bland, humorless. I'd also like to suggest that block tweeting doesn't look good. Spread your tweets out across the day.

Once again, the mousepad is based on the Steelseries Qck, which still hasn't elevated Brian's CSgo skills whatsoever but is a great daily mousepad size and thickness.

A night on the tiles with Peter Jackson
I've been quiet on the ole blog lately but that's only because I've been quiet.
Yesterday, my personal trainer Graham and I travelled by electricity to Sydney to stare at Peter Jackson. Or at least what's left of him. The little fella has lost a lot of weight and it was a bit of shock to see him in person. He always seemed so roly poly and soft but now he's all angular and short.
Besides that though he did seem to be very down to earth and not at all stuck up.
This is what happened. With Three weeks of filming left on King Kong to complete (green screen stuff of Naomi Watts with Kong according to Mr Jackson)as a way of saying thanks to the Powerhouse Museum, He gave a talk on the making of Lord of the rings at the State Theatre in Sydney.
A very softly spoken David Stratton introduced him to a very loud applause. Briefly, He talked about making his first film `Bad Taste' on Sundays with friends over a seven or so year period. He gave us the long version on how the Lord of the Rings came to be (and it was touch and go from what he related). There was some stuff about the current Status of King Kong and how Andy Sirkus who did Golum is prepping now to do King Kong with only three weeks of filming left.
The best stuff though was his personal blooper reel. This wasn't just actors fluffing lines and stuff (although there was some of that) this was priceless footage of Ian McKellan lowering the crown onto Aragorn's head wearing a high on the head blonde wig decorated with flowers welcoming him to a long line of Queens. Merry and Pippin `sprung' in their trailer comparing penis sizes and trying to hide their male blow up doll, Aragorn telling Theodon that one day his face will be scanned in darkness and made into little toys for children to play stupid games with. Aragorn pulling a machine gun out from his cloak and firing it at Sauron yelling `...And this ones for Frodo you fucker!!' There was a scene where Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli go to the edge of Fangorn Forest:
Aragorn: The tracks lead into Fangorn Forest.
Gimli: Fangorn!
Legolas: What the fuck are they doing in there?
It was very very funny (yes you had to be there), but it really looked like they had a shit load of fun making the movie and trying to crack each other up. Viggo Mortenson and Bernard Hill (Aragorn and Theodon) and the two blokes who played Merry and Pippin seemed to have the most fun and the best lines.
And then after all that. We left the theatre to return home and came across a whole bunch of people crowding around the poor little bloke at the stage door getting autographs off him. I tried to get some pictures but only one came out.
A night out with Peter Jackson, two idiots in Sydney and no money to spend at the Cross. Lucky we brought sandwiches.

It's the first day of the new year. 2019. Full of potential, resolutions, and excitement about the future. Another year, another 1% collagen lost.
Wait, what was that last bit about collagen? Yes, it's true. From the time adults reach their early 20s, they lose an estimated 1% of collagen per year. Maybe you're wondering, "1% a year? Should I worry that I'm losing so much collagen? Wait, what is collagen again?" Well the answer is yes, no, and let us explain.
Collagen is the protein that gives our skin structural support (hello supple, glowing complexion!). So, when we lose collagen, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines begin to show on our face as a result of the ageing process.
At Kleresca®, we want to spread the message that your age does not define your worth. But, we also know that it is totally normal to want to look your best no matter the year, no matter your age. Trust us, we know that glowing skin is always in.
Kleresca® Skin Rejuvenation is a non-invasive, easy-to-use skin treatment designed to transform your skin from within. The treatment uses fluorescent light energy to stimulate your skin's own repair mechanisms, meaning collagen gets built up and leaves your skin with a natural glow!
We wish you a new year full of happiness, adventure, and lots of collagen!
Ganceviciene, R. et al Skin anti-aging strategies. Dermatoendocrinol. 2012 Jul 1; 4(3): 308–319.

I was sifting through my posts today and realized that I really haven't posted anything specific to Central America. Understanding that I won't be able to include all resources for all countries in one post I thought I would start small and add new information over time.
A fairly new website is available for those of you with ancestros from the Zacapa region. The site can be found at: http://www.ancestroszacapanecos.com/index.html. The site claims to have a 95, 000 name database that they will search for you, however, they want to add to it so they are asking for an interchange of information. For more details check out the Objetivo page on the site. This brings up the topic of family reconstitution/One-place studies or prosopography, but we'll leave that for another day.
Some of you may be aware, but for those of you that aren't the latest upcoming FamilySearch Indexing project for Hispanic countries is Managua civil registration records. This is exciting for those with Nicaraguan ancestry, because until recently there hasn't been many records available to use. Now in time (hopefully everyone will help no matter where their ancestry is from in Latin America) Nicaragua will have a nice collection indexed online.
As I mentioned above...this is only the beginning of hopefully many posts on Central America. There are many resource out there...stay tuned, I'll write about more shortly.

Q: Script to get Group Member, group starting with "ADM*" I have a requirement to generate a CSV report to get group members. However, I there are many child domains which contains groups starting with ADM.
I need report in the following format:
GroupName   User    Company     LasLogon    CN
ADM_AM  UserOne     CP1

I've found one script on internet:
Get-ADGroup -Server dc1.chd1.pd.local -Filter 'Name -like "ADM*"' |
     ForEach-Object{
          $hash=@{GroupName=$_.Name;Member=''}
          $_ | Get-ADGroupMember -ea 0 -recurs |
               ForEach-Object{
                    $hash.Member=$_.Name
                    New-Object psObject -Property $hash
               }
          } |
     sort groupname,member

This script only gives me GroupName and UserName but not other information.
How can I generate this report?

A: I'm not sure what "ADM_AM, UserOne, CP1" is, but i got this much for you. I'm still new to powershell so forgive me if this is a lot of code =)
$array = @()
Foreach ($group in (Get-ADGroup -Server dc1.chd1.pd.local -Filter 'Name -like "ADM*"'))
{
    $hash=@{Username ='';GroupName=$group.Name;Company='';LastLogon='';CN=''}
    $members = $hash.GroupName | Get-ADGroupMember -Recursive -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    Foreach($member in $members)
    {
        $properties = $member.SamAccountName | Get-ADUser -Properties SamAccountName, Company, lastLogon, CN
        $hash.Username = $properties.SamAccountName
        $hash.Company = $properties.Company
        $hash.LastLogon = $properties.lastLogon
        $hash.CN = $properties.CN
        $obj = New-Object psObject -Property $hash
        $array += $obj
    }
}
$array | Export-Csv C:\ -NoTypeInformation

A: Here is what I would do, Im sure you can shorten it.  You shoud specify a searchbase.  Once you have the members samaccountname, you can use Get-ADUser to get whatever fields you want.
$GrpArr = @()
$Groups = get-adgroup -filter {name -like "adm*"} -searchbase "ou=Groups,dc=all,dc=ca" | select samaccountname
foreach ($group in $groups)
{
    $GrpArr += $group
    $members = get-adgroupmember $group | select samaccountName
    foreach ($member in $members)
    {
        $memprops = get-aduser $member -properties company
        $comp = $memprops.company
        $grpArr += "$member,$comp"
    }
}
$grpArr | export-csv c:\temp\Groups.csv -NoTypeInformation

Because Stack Overflow is feckin' unfriendly to noobs and I need somewhere to post my code so I can show it to more experienced devs and ask if I'm doing it right or is some other method better practice.
I finished building the first version of this site a couple of weeks back. But, I hadn't a mote of a clue how to deploy a site. So I went a-googlin'. I turned up this article: "How To Set Up Django with Postgres, Nginx, and Gunicorn on Ubuntu 16.04". It looked encouragingly complete. But you know how the story goes. It doesn't simply go. It stumbles all over the place, falls off a few cliffs, drowns, and then you do it again. And again, and again, and again ad infinitum ad naseam.

In a desperate attempt to escape and locate her own son, she takes on the care of two of the children, Timmy and Becky, as a type of surrogate mother in order to earn their trust. But first, she must learn to survive the otherworldly horrors that are lying in wait to consume her and the truth behind Zac's and the children's presence.
A biography-drama type film shines a spotlight on the beginnings of Neil Armstrong and his lifelong mission which eventually led up to Armstrong's highly publicized Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Focusing on his remarkable career as an astronaut and the intense toll his ambitions took on his personal life, "First Man" tells the story of the trying decade of preparation which would earn Armstrong his legendary title as he took the one giant leap for mankind.
There's nothing more determined than an innocent man found guilty. Henri "Papillon" Charrière (Charlie Hunnam), a seasoned safe-breaker that runs in Parisian black market rings, is framed and convicted for a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to a gruelling life under the penal administration of French Guiana, it is a race for survival among the prisoners. Determined to escape, he forges an alliance with Louis Dega (Rami Malek), a rich but frail counterfeiter who promises to buy Papillon's way out in exchange for protection.
When college professor Adam and his wife find out that they are going to have a baby, they are over the moon. But when Lisa suffers a traumatizing event which results in a damaging miscarriage, there is no denying that something in the air has changed. Feeling deeply haunted after the unexplainable loss of their baby, the couple seeks out help from paranormal researcher, Dr. Clark who confirms that their house has been taken over by a malevolent entity who has possessed their unborn child and is now out for more blood. Their blood.

Finding a cursed manuscript inside titled "Haunted Halloween", the boys unknowingly unlock it and find themselves unleashing the entire R. L. Stine universe and the monsters in it. With mischevious Slappy the Dummy at the helm of it all, the teens, along with Sonny's sister, Sarah (played by Madison Iseman) must race to undo the damage in order to prevent the Halloween Apocalypse from happening and wreaking havoc on innocent trick-or-treaters.

The latest Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) report, published today, contains information about the care provided to 85,000 people with heart attack by 13 ambulance services and 212 hospitals in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It demonstrates sustained high quality care in key indicators for heart attack patients, identifies areas for further improvement and continued vigilance, and also highlights the serious impact of smoking on the age of onset of heart attack.

Commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) as part of the National Clinical Audit Programme, the MINAP report analysed care between April 2015 and March 2016. Participation of nearly all acute hospitals allows us to provide a reliable representation of the treatment of heart attack across the country, enabling clinicians, clinical leaders/managers and commissioners to assure the quality of care provided, and to plan and implement quality improvement initiatives that should improve the experience of patients and lead to better outcomes.
Treatment for Heart Attack
Immediate Primary PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) at a specialised interventional hospital is established as best practice for re-opening the blocked arteries that cause heart attack. Almost every patient (99%) in England and Northern Ireland who receives reperfusion therapy are now offered primary PCI. This was similar last year in England, but represents an increase (from 92%) in Northern Ireland. In Wales the rate of primary PCI is 86%, up from 80% in 2015, as more centres establish PCI capability.
Over the last decade there has been a significant improvement in the timeliness of such treatment. A key performance measure, the 'call-to-balloon' time (CTB), is the interval between the call for professional help (ambulance) and the start of primary PCI treatment. In 2015/16, 80% of patients were receiving primary PCI in hospital within 150 minutes of alerting the emergency services, with a little over half getting the treatment within 120 minutes. The MINAP audit found that 90% of patients are treated with primary PCI within 90 minutes of arrival at hospital – the equivalent figure being 52% in 2004/05.
However, there has been a slight lengthening of the median CTB time over the last 5 years. Given that median in-hospital treatment times have improved over this period, it follows that lengthening of the time spent outside hospital following a call for help has resulted in increasing CTB. The median call to door time has increased, year-on-year, by 10 minutes between 2010/11 and 2015/16.
Dr Clive Weston (Consultant Cardiologist & MINAP clinical lead) said:
"MINAP provides tangible evidence of hospital performance across key measures in the treatment for heart attack. For those requiring reperfusion, hospitals are consistently providing rapid treatment once the patient arrives at hospital. The small increase in the overall time to treatment appears to reflect a longer interval between a call for help and arrival at hospital. This may reflect a "roll-out" of primary PCI services during the last few years to more rural areas, with corresponding increased distance and transport times between home and hospital. It might also reflect changes in the categorisation of urgent 999 ambulance calls from people reporting symptoms of possible heart attack. Leaders of Ambulance Trusts should continue to monitor the effect of new types of response to emergency calls to ensure an efficient use of their resources and the provision of appropriate and equitable care to all that require their services, while assuring the timeliness of care for patients with heart attack."
For those patients whose heart attacks do not require immediate PCI, there has been a steady improvement in care. In line with key recommendations, 96% of patients are assessed by a cardiologist compared with 90% in 2011; 57% are now admitted to a cardiac ward compared with 49% in 2011, and 84% of patients have access to a diagnostic coronary angiogram (compared with 68% in 2011) to determine whether PCI or cardiac surgery is required.
However, the delay from admission to angiography in these patients has not improved. For those admitted directly to hospitals that are capable of providing on-site angiography, 17.5% received an angiogram within 24 hours; 53% within 72 hours; 66.3% within 96 hours. In 2010/11 the equivalent figures were 21% within 24 hours, 55% within 72 hours and 67% within 96 hours.
Dr Weston commented: "Centres have an opportunity to provide more timely treatment, which may lead to shorter lengths of stay, reducing the burden on the health system. Recognising the need to improve this aspect of care, NHS England is introducing a Best Practice Tariff for angiography in this type of heart attack in the 2016-17 financial year. Participating hospitals will receive a higher reimbursement for service where at least 60% of all patients receive angiography within 72 hours.
Recommendations from the Report
The Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) measures the performance of hospitals that treat heart attack in the UK against best practice. The 15th annual report covers 94,800 patient episodes, of which 85,123 had a final diagnosis of heart attack (myocardial infarction).
The MINAP provides valuable information on the performance of hospitals on an individual level while also having the scope to illustrate performance trends on a national scale. This wealth of data allows Medical Directors to identify areas for improvement, to effect change within their trust; while giving direction to commissioners and policy makers to implement initiatives on a regional or national scale, leading to better patient outcomes.
We should seek to continue an open dialogue with the general public, to increase the awareness of the risk factors for heart attack, and most importantly, to increase recognition of the early symptoms of heart attack so that care can be given sooner and a better outcome achieved.


It's time to light the birthday candles because TMA's Hard Hats for Little Heads bicycle helmet giveaway program is turning 25.
If you haven't hosted an event before, this is your year because the Texas Medical Association will award 25 helmets at no cost to 25 TMA family members who host their first event or host one in a county where Hard Hats hasn't been.
TMA's "25 for 25 Campaign" is open to physicians, county medical societies, and TMA Alliance chapters.
No matching purchase of helmets is required. Events must occur during Hard Hats for Little Heads Month in October. To be included in the drawing for the free helmets, send an email by June 1 detailing your event plans. Winners will be selected by July 1.
Diana R. El-Zaim, MD, a McAllen pediatrician, hosted her first event in 2018.
Pamela E. Chung, MD, a family physician in Sugar Land, said her clinic loves the Hard Hats program and has hosted an event for several years during Bike Month to discuss safety and encourage physical activity.
"I think there is no better reward than seeing the joy this brings to families, as well as the opportunities and adventures it opens up for them," Dr. Chung said.
TMA has everything you need for your giveaway, from helmets to publicity tools and educational materials. When you purchase up to 50 helmets, TMA boosts your giving power with an equal match of helmets. Helmets cost $7.85 each, including shipping.
Family physicians and members of the Texas Pediatric Society (TPS) have a special perk of receiving 25 helmets at no cost, thanks to the Texas Academy of Family Physicians and TPS. TMA then matches that for a total of 50 helmets to give away at no cost to you.
Find event ideas and much more in the Hard Hats event toolkit. To request an order packet or to get started on your event, email Tammy Wishard, TMA outreach coordinator, or call her at 512-370-1470.

Performing do-it-yourself bathroom plumbing repairs requires an excellent understanding of the different bathroom fixtures as well as pipes and water fixtures that are present in the bathroom.
For many homeowners, fixing plumbing issues in the bathroom is often left to the professionals for a variety of reasons – mainly because of not having appropriate tools for the job as well as managing any unexpected issues.
Nevertheless, here are some plumbing issues in the bathroom that you can fix yourself.
Like any other leak from a water fixture in the house, the most likely cause of a leaking bathroom faucet is a worn-out washer / O-ring or a defective cartridge, depending on the type of faucet. Replacing this should not be very difficult. You will only need some basic tools to disassemble the faucet to reach the worn-out O-ring / washer or damaged cartridge. Simply remove the worn-out or damaged parts and replace them with new ones. It is also possible to remove the faucet head and bring it to your hardware store so they can check which part is leaking.
Caution: turn off the water supply lines under the sink before you disassemble the bathroom faucet. If you don't have a shutoff valve for the sink, turn off the main water supply (usually out by the street).
There are a lot of similarities with kitchen faucets, read this article on kitchen faucets for further information.
A clogged sink can be a real headache. Fortunately, there are very simple solutions to unclogging your bathroom sink. All you need is a pot of boiling water, half a cup of baking soda, and a cup of vinegar mixed in a cup of boiling hot water and you can have your bathroom sink working again. You only need to pour the boiling water down the drain of your bathroom sink then immediately dump in the baking soda.
Let it work its magic for about 5 minutes before pouring the boiling hot water + vinegar solution. Cover this with your drain plug and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Afterwards, you simply just have to flush it again with boiling water. This works like a charm because the hot water effectively melts and loosens grimy sludge in your drain before the sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) chemically disrupts the bonds of the grimy sludge. The vinegar-hot water solution shocks the whole system and flushes it down the drain.
If this does not work, you may need to replace the PVC pipes under your bathroom sink. You will need the appropriate-sized wrench for this although some can actually be loosened by giving it a quick and forceful nudge. Make sure to place a bucket or a basin under the P-trap before loosening the couplings.
Carefully lower the assembly and dump the waste water into the basin or bucket. Make sure to clean the pipe threads, the sink drain, and the main drain pipe before installing your new PVC pipes. Reassemble and fasten all couplings.
If done correctly you can save up to several hundreds of dollars on bathroom plumbing repairs. On average, a DIY unclogging of the bathroom sink can range anywhere from $10 to $75. If you seek a plumber, this can range anywhere from $50 to $500 for a simple bathroom sink clog. If the clog is on a main drain line, it can cost you anywhere from $100 to $900.
Your shower can be a great source of water damage to the rest of your house. This is because there are so many potential problems that can result from a shower leak. While it is often easy to spot a shower leak – a musty smell, darker tiles, damp patches on surfaces, or even signs of leak in the ceiling directly underneath your 2nd story bathroom – some may go unnoticed for a while and manifest in unexpected areas of the house.
Shower leaks are often caused by problems in the flooring of your bathroom or shower, leaks in the water supply lines, leaks in the shower drain, and/or leaks in the faucet or even the shower head. Pinholes or cracks in the tile grout might also be a source of leaks.
The absence of puddle flange, fluid aprons, and waterproofing membranes can also lead to shower leaks.
If the cause of the shower leak is superficial, for example a leak in the faucet or even a missing tile or a severely eroded grout, you can quickly fix these problems. However, if the problem requires fixing by accessing the different pipes and plumbing fixtures within the walls of your home or even check on the existence of a waterproofing membrane underneath the floor in your shower, then there is only one thing that you can do – call the professionals at Staggs Plumbing. These are the types of shower leaks that no DIYers are fully capable of performing without creating more serious (and expensive) problems.
Depending on the nature of your shower leak, the cost of fixing it can range anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. For example, installing a new waterproofing membrane can easily set you back for around $1,000 to $2,000 or even more. Replacing your shower tiles can cost you around $3 to $10 per square foot.
Flush the drain with boiling water and immediately pour a mixture of equal parts baking soda and vinegar. Let it sit overnight then flush it with boiling water the following morning.
Mix equal parts of baking soda and table salt and pour the mixture down the drain. Let it sit for half an hour before flushing it with boiling water.
Pour a quarter of a cup of dishwashing liquid in the drain. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before pouring in boiling water. Use a plunger to dislodge the grime.
Pour down the drain a mixture of equal parts baking soda and vinegar. Place the stopper and let it sit for an hour. Fill the bathtub with hot water. Remove the stopper.
Use a drain snake or a bent wire hanger to remove debris from the drain.
Pour caustic soda but be sure to wear goggles and rubber gloves.
Use wet and dry vacuum.
There are plumbing problems in the bathroom that you can do yourself. However, for the real serious ones, only a professional bathroom plumbing expert like Staggs Plumbing can guarantee an excellent job.

With a premise of WW2 soldiers fighting zombies, you'd expect Overlord to be your stereotypical B-grade grindhouse styled film. And to its credit it stays pretty close to script, which is why you should think twice about catching this one on the big screen.
The film resembles more of an extended episode of Combat, which straddles into Twilight Zone territory. For younger readers, think Saving Private Ryan meets Black Mirror.
The story takes place on the eve of D-Day with a platoon of American paratroopers who are deployed behind enemy lines in Nazi occupied France. Their mission – penetrate a heavily guarded church, which has been turned into a radio tower.
But their mission isn't as straightforward as it seems as their forces are depleted before they even hit the ground. Then upon working their way into a Nazi-occupied village, the remaining soldiers discover that the Germans are working on some secret experiments within the compound of the tower.
What follows next is a bloody and brutal battle that involves the American soldiers taking on the undead, which are the direct result of the Nazis attempting to create the ultimate super soldier. There are a lot of fisticuffs, shootouts, explosions and what have you, but ultimately it just drones on in one unforgettable blur.
So unforgettable in fact, I can't remember for the life of me who the actors were in this one nor the characters they played. And that's a pity actually, because Overlord seemed to tease a premise that was mindless and a lot of fun. Unfortunately only the former was true.
Overlord is perhaps best viewed on a streaming service, digital download or a screening on Cinemax (it's not HBO's cup of tea, in my honest opinion). Frankly, you can pretty much skip this one in the cinema altogether.


The Spokane Highland Games Association (SHGA) offers competitions for pipe bands (see Pipe Band Events and Rules), and for individual piping and drumming (see Individual Piping and Drumming Events and Rules), on the first Saturday of August each year, during the Spokane Scottish Highland Games.

State Refuses OPRA Request For Questionable University Grant Applications
Star Ledger
With controversy continuing to swirl around its list of proposed college construction grants, Christie administration officials are refusing to release copies of applications filed by two religious institutions set to receive public dollars for campus building projects. The state Secretary of Higher Education's Office denied a Star-Ledger request, filed under the state's Open Public Records Act, to view the applications filed by Beth Medrash Govoha and Princeton Theological Seminary for a piece of $1.3 billion in available state grants.
For weeks, lawmakers and civil liberties groups have been questioning why taxpayers are funding construction projects at religious schools that are not open to students of all faiths. Some legislators have also questioned the process Christie administration officials used to select the two schools for grants.
Tuesday, state Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver (D-Essex) called on Gov. Chris Christie to provide documents showing how the grant decisions were made, and she and Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan (D-Middlesex) introduced legislation to block the grants if the administration doesn't comply.
"For the administration to suggest to the Legislature and the public that the manner in which these funds were allocated is not information we are entitled to have is as bewildering as it is unacceptable," Oliver wrote in the letter.
But administration officials said releasing copies of the grant applications filed by the religious institutions would jeopardize the competitive process overseen by the state Secretary of Higher Education's Office.
"Public release of the applications at this time could give an unfair advantage to applicants and undermine the integrity of the process," said Colin Reed, a spokesman for Christie. "When the process is complete, the secretary intends to make applications public as allowed by law."
Beth Medrash Govoha, an all-male Jewish rabbinical school in Lakewood, is scheduled to receive $10.6 million to build a new library and academic center. Princeton Theological Seminary, which trains Christian ministers, is slated to receive $645,313 for technology upgrades.
The proposed grants have drawn criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union and several top lawmakers, who say the public has the right to review the grant applications to decide if the projects deserve the grants.
"Isn't the competition over?" said state Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen). "There's no conceivable reason for the those applications to be withheld."
Meanwhile, new questions have emerged about whether the state failed to follow the law in its rush to award the grants. Christie administration officials announced the criteria for applying for the money in January and began accepting nearly 250 applications from colleges March 1, even though the rules had not been formally adopted.
The list of 176 approved projects at 46 colleges and universities was released April 29, a week before the rules were officially published and enacted.
Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak dismissed any suggestion the process skirted the law.
"The statute gave us more than enough authority to proceed, and the comment period produced only one question, which had no impact on the regulations as proposed," Drewniak said.
The $1.3 billion in proposed grants includes $750 million from a higher education bond question approved by New Jersey voters on last November's ballot. The remainder of the money comes from a variety of other state bonds available for college construction and renovation projects.
The list of 176 projects was sent to the state Legislature, which has the power to accept or reject the grants.
Oliver said she objects to giving public money to Beth Medrash Govoha and Princeton Theological Seminary .
"I can't in good conscience sit by and let public money go to schools with such exclusionary policies," Oliver said. "It's a violation of the state's constitution."
But Oliver's bill may be largely symbolic because Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) said he has no plans to introduce a similar bill in his chamber. Sweeney said he sees no reason to delay the college building projects because of disagreements over money going to two religious institutions.
However, Sweeney called on state officials to make the grant applications public.
"How can they not release applications?" Sweeney said. "They've made their decision, and they should release them."
ACLU-NJ spokeswoman Katie Wang on Tuesday said the state has asked for more time in response to the group's open public records request to view all applications for the grants, along with the state's scoring sheets and other records used to select the winners.
Ed Barocas, ACLU-NJ's legal director, said the organization will consider a legal challenge if the state fails to release the documents.
"The public has the right to know how the determinations are made when you're talking about spending $1.3 billion," Barocas said.

Home/TB Investigates/Mob Attacks Marshfield Realtor After Brookline Art Teacher Smears Her As A Racist For Asking Her To Follow Rules At Open House
Mob Attacks Marshfield Realtor After Brookline Art Teacher Smears Her As A Racist For Asking Her To Follow Rules At Open House
Robyn Thompson is a middle school art teacher in Brookline who claims to be a victim of racism after attending an open house in Marshfield.
Fox 25 News: A Boston couple claims they were racially discriminated by a South Shore real estate agent during an open house event.
"I didn't know what to think, I've never had anyone treat me like this before," Robyn Thompson said.
Thompson told Boston 25 News about an incident that took place during a Marshfield open house last Friday. Thompson recently learned that a house that once belonged to her family is back on the market. On Friday, Thompson, her husband Duong An, and their kids ages 6 and 3, stopped by the house on their way to a camping trip to see if she could get the house back into the family. But Thompson and her husband say real estate agent Kristen Dewey treated them poorly and things quickly went from bad to worse.
"From the first time we walked in, she was escalating things," Duong An said.
The couple says things reached a breaking point when the agent who followed them through the house criticized them for being critical of a light fixture.
"You go into a store, they think you are about to steal something? I feel a little bit like that, she kept on following," Duong An said.
Eventually, the couple said Dewey asked them to leave and she threatened to call the police. Thompson said she thinks that threat was racially motivated.
"I didn't [think that] until she threatened to call the police," Thompson said. "I couldn't see her doing that to anybody else, that was not [my] complexion."
Kristen Dewey issued a statement through her publicist that said in part:
"I'm disheartened by any accusation that I would discriminate, […] in my 15+ years of real estate experience, I've never had a single complaint – ever. Any implication of me being a racist is not true."
In the Statement, Dewey denies she threatened to call the police and said it was the family who suggested it, but she did not. She said that, on the day of the open house, she was trying to keep things moving because of COVID-19 protocols. While Dewey admits she suggested she might call police, she did not. In fact, she says she would like to sit down with the couple and talk to them in person to apologize.
Thompson and her family feel so strongly about what happened, they were considering filing a civil rights violation complaint with the State Attorney General. The MA Attorney General's office confirmed it received the complaint and is investigating. The Office said housing complaints usually are referred to the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination. If MCAD finds in favor of Robyn Thompson, under state law, a judgement could include damages, litigation cost, attorneys' fees and potential civil penalties against the defendant, not to exceed $5,000.
Statement from Dewey:
The residence was previously owned by the grandparents of Robyn Thompson (the Martin family), for which another Martin family member, who attended the open house the day prior, indicated was emotional for her. Due to COVID-19, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the homeowner, the agents, and the prospective buyers, we have instituted protocols on flow, amount of time in the house, and number of occupants during an open house. Following that protocol, I asked Robyn Thompson and Duong An not to linger and to follow the flow. In addition, I requested they not make loud negative comments about the current state of the home which could be heard by other prospective buyers. After I made these requests, the situation escalated, and I ultimately suggested that if they didn't follow protocol that they would have to leave. At that point they, not I, suggested I call the cops, and I did not.
Having worked in this business for many years and understanding the emotional attachment to a home, I felt the need to call Duong An after the open house and apologize for how the situation ended and invited them to a private appointment so they could take their time viewing the property. He apologized for how the situation escalated as well. Any implication of me being a racist is not true. I am extending an invitation to Robyn and Duong to meet with me in person so that can I apologize for how the situation ended.
Translation – the realtor politely asked you not to do something, you did it anyway, told her to call the cops, and then called her what has quickly become a racial slur for white women because you didn't like being told what to do.
A lot of people have messaged about this story and vouched for Kristen Dewey. Her brother is a Marshfield police officer and she has thin blue line symbols outside of her office, which makes her an obvious target. The mob has already sabotaged her Google reviews and won't rest until she's out of business at this point. Somehow this has become an acceptable form of discourse rather than waiting for facts or evidence to surface. Right now all that exists is a one-sided story. But in the current cultural climate we live in, the person screaming racism will always be believed by the mob.
For that reason my gut instinct is to always assume stories like this are either lies or grossly exaggerated, because they almost always are. Usually the person making the baseless claim of racism is attacking a white woman, calling her a "Karen," and has a long and documented history of BLM activism on Facebook. This is exactly what Robyn's timeline looks like, as it includes posts about getting paid reparations, bemoaning how hard she has it as an art teacher in Brookline, encouraging and celebrating cancel culture because some people don't like lockdowns or rioting, telling people not to listen to influential black conservative women, complaining that she's "not OK because a black man was killed by a rogue cop in Minneapolis, and and bemoaning white privilege.
It's ironic because the fact that she is a black woman means that her privilege is that she will always be believed in situations like this. And unless Kristen Dewey can produce a video showing that this never happened it will be assumed that she is a racist, while the woman who didn't follow the rules and is looking for a payday becomes the victim.
This poor oppressed woman whose husband is an attorney just can't catch a break these days. Despite the fact that she's been paid not to work for the last 5 months, her husband is an attorney, she claims to own multiple properties, and they have the cash to purchase an "investment property" in a well off south shore beach town, she's still a victim.
Meanwhile Kristen Dewey, who appears to have done nothing wrong, has to deal with a ridiculous complaint to the MCAD which she'll have to hire a lawyer for. Even worse – she's being publicly smeared as a racist. And when that happens the mob comes after you.
Robyn with a Y is quite proud of herself.
And she suddenly knows that the real estate agent's brother is a cop.
Which I'm sure totally isn't influencing her behavior at all.
The people who do this are evil. They know damn well that there's nothing more damaging to a person's career than being labeled as a racist, and they know how to whip a mob into a frenzy to destroy people who have slighted them. They have no problem doing just that in their pursuit of victimhood. We'll keep calling them out one by one though, because someone has to be a voice for the victims of these witch hunts.

The Goyang Geumjeong Cave massacre (Korean: 고양 금정굴 민간인 학살[1][4] Hanja: 高陽衿井窟民間人虐殺[1][4] Goyang Geunjeong Cave civilian massacre[1][4]) was a massacre of over 153 unarmed civilians conducted between 9 October 1950 and 31 October 1950 by police in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do district of South Korea.[1][4][5] After the victory of the Second Battle of Seoul, South Korean authorities arrested and summarily executed several individuals along with their families on suspicion of sympathizing with North Korea.[4] The killings in Goyang coincided with the Namyangju Massacre in nearby Namyangju.[6]
In 1995 the bodies of the 153 victims were excavated by their families.[7] In June 2006 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission demanded that the South Korean government apologize and erect a monument for the victims.[7] However, the government did not show any intention of following through on the TRCK recommendation.[7] In 2007 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission again demanded that the government apologize, provide compensation, and erect a memorial for the victims; however, the government still refused.[8][9][5] The Truth and Reconciliation Commission also clarified most of the victims, including 8 teenagers and 7 women, had no relation to rebels.[5]
On November 28, 2011, the Seoul central court ordered the South Korean government to apologize, pay reparations and fund a memorial to the victims' families.[1]

The capital of Tasmania, Hobart, is founded.
Hobart was established in 1804 at the mouth of the Derwent River, a year after Tasmania's first settlement at nearby Risdon Cove. Only a collection of tents and huts then, its population consisted of 178 convicts, 25 Royal Navy marines, 15 women, 21 children, 13 free settlers, and 10 civil officers.
Hobart is Australia's second oldest city and has an incredible waterfront location. From Old Wharf, where the first arrivals settled, round to the fishing village of Battery Point, the area known as Sullivan's Cove is still the hub of this cosmopolitan city.
Attractions include the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Criminal Courts and Penitentiary Chapel, Battery Point, and Salamanca Place.
The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery was built in 1863 and designed by the city's best known colonial architect, Henry Hunter. The gallery now houses an excellent collection of early prints and paintings of Tasmania, Aboriginal artifacts, as well as botanical displays of native flora. The Criminal Courts and Penitentiary Chapel showcases underground passages, solitary confinement cells, and an execution yard.
Battery Point is a maritime village located near the early settlement and wharves. A site with narrow gas-lit streets lined with tiny fishermen's and worker's houses, cottage gardens, colonial mansions and pubs, this village is a reflection of early colonial days. The strategic site, with its views down to the Derwent River, was originally home to a gun battery, which was positioned to ward off potential enemy invasions. The old guardhouse, built in 1818, is just a few minutes walk from Hampden road and has a range of antique shops, art galleries, tearooms, and restaurants.
Salamanca Place was once the site of early colonial industries ranging from jam making to metal foundry. Today, the beautiful row of sandstone warehouses is now the heart of Hobart's lively art and creative centre. There is a range of art and craft galleries, antique furniture stores, and antiquarian bookshops housed in these old buildings. This place is also famous for its Saturday morning market and the Salamanca Market, where many stalls filled with arts, crafts, and fresh food are displayed.

It is taken from a survey by Surveyor-General Harris. The original was discovered in the NSW Lands Office and presented to the Tasmanian Lands Office.
Hobart, capital of Tasmania, is founded.
Hobart is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania. With a population of approximately 225,000, it is the second least populated Australian capital city. Founded in 1804 as a penal colony, Hobart is Australia's second oldest capital city after Sydney, New South Wales. The modern history of Hobart dates to its foundation as a British colony in 1804. Prior to British settlement, the area had been occupied for possibly as long as 35,000 years, by the semi-nomadic Mouheneener tribe, a sub-group of the Nuennone, or South-East tribe.The descendants of the indigenous Tasmanians now refer to themselves as 'Palawa'.
Since its foundation as a colonial outpost, the city has grown from the mouth of Sullivans Cove to stretch in a generally north-south direction along both banks of the Derwent River, from 22 km inland from the estuary at Storm Bay to the point where the river reverts to fresh water at Bridgewater.
Hobart has experienced both booms and busts over its history. The early 20th century saw a period of growth on the back of mining, agriculture and other primary industries, and the loss of men who served in world wars was counteracted by an influx of immigration after World War II.In the later years of the 20th century, migrants increasingly arrived to settle in Hobart from Asia. Despite the rise in migration from parts of the world other than the United Kingdom and Ireland, the population of Hobart remains predominantly ethnically Anglo-Celtic and has the highest percentage per capita of Australian-born residents among the Australian capital cities.

Coiled Tubing Gas Lift: An Innovative Solution for Reviving Dead Wells in Southern Pakistan

In southern Pakistan, most wells in mature fields do not flow naturally and require delivery of supplemental energy into the wellbore through an artificial lift system. The existing portfolio of techniques, however, faces technical and economic challenges. Operators have tried numerous methods of deliquification such as soap injection, jet pumps, electrical submersible pumps, and conventional gas lift (GL). Those solutions differ in methodology and efficiency, but they unfortunately have failed either technically or economically in Pakistan.
Because reviving dead wells is key to maximizing production with the most efficient and cost-effective method in Pakistan, a detailed screening of candidate wells was carried out to identify innovative artificial lift solutions. The deployment of GL valves using coiled tubing (CT) soon emerged as the best option, because it offered the highest returns in a cost-benefit analysis. Coiled tubing gas lift (CTGL) is a rigless solution that enables setting GL valves at the required depth, during any stage of a well life. It allows gas to be injected through CT with production through the CT-to-tubing annulus. This technology is also retrievable and replaceable when needed.
Two pilot wells, that had been shut in since 2015, were selected from four shortlisted candidates through nodal analysis. Each system consisted of one CT string with multiple stations of unloading and orifice valves, spaced out at depths engineered to maximize each well's productivity. In addition to a GL valve, each station included two CT external connectors and one self-aligning connector, which enabled efficient and safe connection between both CT ends during the deployment of the CTGL station.
Additionally, specific CT pressure control equipment and wellhead adapters were used to secure and hang the CT string in the production tree and provide connection with the gas injection facilities at the surface. The first installation was conducted in a vertical well originally completed 4 1/2-in. monobore, deploying 1 1/2-in. CT string with four CTGL stations. The second installation was performed with 1 1/4-in. CT and five CTGL stations in a well originally completed with 7-in. liner and 2 7/8-in. production tubing. The wells were commissioned using existing surface infrastructure and were unloaded smoothly until the production stabilized at optimum rates near 420 B/D and 325 B/D respectively.
This innovative artificial lift technique represents an effective and economical solution to restart production in mature fields where conventional artificial lift methods challenge well economics. This approach greatly rests on a thorough candidate selection process. The design and installation of two new CTGL systems was a first in the Middle East region and helped identify numerous best practices and lessons learned, which will speed up implementation of the methodology in other parts of the world.

Manly star's R-rated referee spray revealed
The Newcastle Knights held on for a thrilling 14-12 win over Manly on Sunday afternoon.
Newcastle held a 14-6 lead for most of the second half before Cade Cust closed the gap to just 2 points in the 65th minute.
But in the dying seconds, Sea Eagles winger Tevita Funa appeared to be taken out off the ball by Bradman Best after he put in a grubber just metres out from the try line in a final effort play to steal the match.
Referee Grant Atkins sent the final play to the bunker who ruled there was no penalty or penalty try needed, officially ending the game with the 80 minutes complete.

The decision from the bunker didn't sit well with the Manly players who immediately approached Atkins for a further explanation.
Manly's Addin Fonua-Blake was sent off by referee Atkins after he appeared to lose his temper following the bunker's decision.
It was revealed after the match that Fonua-Blake told the referee he was a "f—— retard."
After the match, the reaction from the final play left fans divided on social media.
Manly coach Des Hasler confirmed he would follow up with the NRL as to whether or not the bunker made the right decision to not award a penalty.
"Obviously, he sent Addin off so we'll need to look at that," Hasler said post-match.
"I think from Addin's point of view, it was emotion and frustration, but you've got to contain that, so we'll have to wait and see what the charge or the fallout of that is.
"I'll have to probably check with Graham Annesley what the rule is in regards to the penalty try and the penalty and shot at goal.
"I'm sure it's fine and it's in the rules, but I'll check and see what the NRL has to say."
NOTE: This article initially reported that Jake Trbojevic was also sent off but it was since been clarified that he was not.
