The Faces Behind: Eye of the Storm Chris
At SignRequest we are so proud of our team that we simply can't hide them any longer. We have to share them with the world. Because without these great minds, you'd all have to print, sign and scan. What a nightmare! Over the past few weeks, I have already introduced you to Benjamin and Daan. Today I would like you to meet Chris, the Eye of the Storm.
Before Chris joined SignRequest, we were a very internationally oriented but also a very Dutch team. Our international mindset screamed for diversification. That's when we ran into Chris, an American developer who had just fallen in love with Amsterdam. A match made in heaven.
As with all developing tech companies, the SignRequest meetings can be full of ideas, questions, tech challenges and customer inquiries. We go around and get it all off our chest. Then we get to Chris. "Hey guys, yeah, it's been a pretty good week. Looking forward to the next." Surrounded by excitement, count on Chris to be calm as can be, the Eye of the Storm.
What made you decide to come work for SignRequest?
I came to Amsterdam after having spent the prior two and a half years nomading around. I immediately fell in love with the city and upon meeting the SignRequest team, things couldn't have clicked into place any better. The extreme alignment between myself and the team on things such as workplace culture, work-life balance, and the product itself made the decision a no-brainer for me.
What does your day-to-day look like?
Just about the entirety of my time is dedicated to improving the SignRequest product, whether it be through new feature development or modernizing our tech stack. With how the team's structured, there are limited distractions, which enables me to work with a focused intensity that I really enjoy.
When do you feel you have had a great day?
Any day where I'm able to make an improvement to the product, no matter how small, is a great one for me.
How does it feel to be the one American in a mostly Dutch Team?
As a credit to the team, it's been a really smooth transition. The famed Dutch honesty and directness work extraordinarily well in the workplace. I especially admire the dedication and seriousness that is shown to Friday afternoon drinks, so much so that there's a word for it — vrijmibos.
Any tips/trick/warnings for non-Dutch people working for a Dutch company?
Overall the workplace culture is more similar than different to the one I was accustomed to in the United States. There will of course be occasions when you won't know what's being said, but it usually doesn't take more than a couple of words in English for the conversation to magically switch. Never be afraid to ask questions, in my experience people are always happy to explain things to you and you'll come away having learned interesting tidbits of Dutch culture.
What is a passion project you'd love to work on?
We recently embarked on a project that I'm really passionate about, which is modernizing the front-end using technologies such as Vue.js. The front-end ecosystem has evolved considerably since when the product was first imagined, so I'm hoping that by applying these new technologies to the product will make it more stable, easier to use, and easier to improve going forward.

'Dear Apple, I Won't Buy These From You'
Friday, January 20, 2017 by Jack Miller in News and Opinion
This week I took a trip to the nearest Apple Store. I used to go there often but now it's an every few months thing. Nobody goes to the Apple Store anymore. It's too crowded and it takes too long to find someone who really knows about Apple's products.
Oh, and speaking of Apple products, if I bumped into Tim Cook today I would have a list of Apple's wares that I would not buy that is longer than the list of items I would buy. Yes, it's been that long since Apple cleaned up the product line and emptied the pipeline that's been holding products for years that never see the light of day.
Here's what I bought, what I would buy, and what I won't buy from Apple.
No Mac For You
With apologies to the famous Soup Nazi, there are plenty of Apple products that need a refresh. But there are plenty I already own, so those won't count.
Macs – 'No Mac for you, Jack.' That's because I blew my bonus on the new MacBook Pro and I love it. Yes, I wish it had a replaceable battery, replaceable and upgradeable RAM, but it's smaller, lighter, and faster than the model it replaced.
But Apple, that's it. The MacBook hasn't kept up with hardware from Dell and others, and those pretty colors tell me Apple is more about fashion than hardware specifications. What's wrong with the Mac mini cottage industry that Apple can't put out a quad-core CPU option? Or, just keep the price competitive? When did this thing last get upgrade? It was the Bush administration, right?
Worse, both iMac and Mac Pro are sorely in need of upgrades to newer CPUs from Intel, newer ports– I'm thinking USB-C and Thunderbolt 3– so there is no way I can recommend to anyone to buy an iMac or Mac Pro until Apple realizes that selling a nearly four-year-old device as new is just wrong. It's just as wrong to sell the MacBook Air even if it's priced only twice as high as a Dell notebook with a touchscreen. These are not new devices and should not be priced as such.
iPhones – No complaints here. I have an iPhone 7 Plus and picked up iPhone 7s for my parents. We're good to go. Nobody in the family misses the headphone jack. Boy, that was much ado about not much.
Watch – My original was replaced with the Nike version of Watch Series 2 and it's no wonder Apple owns the smartwatch segment. It just works. Now. Battery life runs closer to two days and charging to 100-percent takes just a couple of hours. It took months of pruning, but I've finally figured out how to mix and match watchfaces with Complications, apps, notifications, and alerts, and all is well. I'll upgrade again when Watch goes standalone and isn't tethered to an iPhone.
But why would anyone buy the original Watch Series 0? Apple sells it for less, but it's not new.
iPads – Alright, we're back to where the only recommendation for an iPad I could make these days is iPad Pro and only if someone absolutely, positively must have one today. Otherwise, Apple is selling a device that is ancient by technology upgrade cycles. iPad Air 2. iPad mini 2? How can Apple sell these as new devices? They are not. Supposedly, 2017 is the year of the iPad upgrade but it better be a good one.
Dear Apple, if I were in the market for any of these I would not buy them because they're not new. Mac Pro, Mac mini, iMac, iPad Air 2, and any iPad mini. You should be ashamed of your hubris for selling them as new devices.
That said, the new AirPods are absolutely cool and typical Apple.

Who can tell me what's wrong with this statement?
"Nobody goes to the Apple Store anymore. It's too crowded…"
cal worthington says
Nothing. It comes from Yogi Berra.
No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded.
Basically, it means a place has become sufficiently popular among the average people that the cool people don't go there as much. That fits the Apple Stores.

MBP – I waited patiently for the 2016 release only to be extremely disappointed. I'm keeping my Late 2010 MBP until  releases a MBP that I find acceptable. Apple may have to rid it self of Tim Cook before that happens.
iPhone – Several years ago I gave my iPhone 5 to a friend and I have not replaced it, in fact I no longer own a cell phone. However, I do enjoy my iPod Touch 6th Generation.
Watch – No Thank you, I own 8 Swiss watches that I enjoy.
iPad – Always thought about buying but never could justify the cost for a gadget used for surfing the internet & emailing.

Kevin, maybe tech equipment just isn't for you.
Rasmus says
Apple does not sell Watch "Series 0". The very first version of Apple Watch is dead and not sold by Apple.
Apple introduced two new watches in September. Watch Series 1 (which is not discounted Series 0 as many people assume and Watch Series 2.
Series 1 has the same new processor, its splash resistant and lacks GPS, Series 2 has a new processor, GPS, its water resistant and has a brighter screen.
Carlton says
Friday, January 20, 2017 at 6:37 PM
Watch Series '0' is used as an insult, which is what Watch Series 1 is. An insult. It's much the same as the original, minus all the improvements in Watch Series 2.
Watch Series 1 more closely mimics the original, so the term is used to point out Apple's arrogance of selling old technology and passing it off as new.

Brits lose sleep over social networking
by Nick Farrell on08 September 2011
Sense of perspective being lost
New research from a UK' website has revealed that the average Briton loses 35 nights of sleep each year due to social networking, equating to just over 5 hours every week. The study, by www.MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, has revealed that Britons lose an average of 35 nights sleep every year through checking their social networking accounts before going to sleep.
The pol of 1,922 people, all of whom had a social networking was part of research into how much time Britons spend on social networking sites. More than 96 per cent of them said they visited the site 'every day'.
Those polled were then asked if they ever lost sleep due to checking social networking sites from their bed, to which 67 per cent said 'yes'. Almost all, 89 per cent, of these respondents said that they got 'distracted' by social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter before going to sleep at night, and therefore spent longer on the sites than they meant to.
The respondents were then asked to stipulate, on average, how many minutes they spent doing so per night, to which the answer was '46 minutes'. Half said they accessed their social network site(s) every day from their bed before they went to sleep.
When taking all factors into account, the average social networker in Briton loses 279 hours worth of sleep each year which, as the recommended period of sleep per night is 8 hours, equates to almost 35 nights worth of sleep lost.

Welcome to the AHL, Jonas Siegenthaler!
The rookie defenseman played in his first game Wednesday night for the Bears against in-state rival, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
Apparently Siegenthaler isn't afraid of fire.
Siegenthaler held his own in the game and recorded an assist on fellow defenseman, Erik Burgdoerfer's second period goal at 17:00.
As if getting on the score sheet in his first AHL game wasn't enough to make it memorable, his teammates made it even more so, blasting the Phantoms on their home ice 8-0.
Perhaps it was a little bit of message sent-message received after the dual losses to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton over the weekend.
Perhaps it was a little bit of frustration at losing to the other in-state rival and also losing sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Division.
Perhaps the Phantoms just aren't that good.
Perhaps the Bears can be that good and Siegenthaler has joined the team at the right time for a lengthy playoff run.
Whatever the reason, it had to make a good impression on the young man from Switzerland.
Hershey got off to a terrific first period start in front of Dan Ellis who was "unavailable" in Sunday night's loss for undisclosed reasons. Mann said Ellis would start Wednesday, but would not make Friday's trip to Utica in order to rest. Mark Dekanich was recalled from South Carolina and joined the team yesterday. He will make Friday's trip instead, but Ellis turned away all 21 shots the Phantoms managed to send his way for his third shutout of the season.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that Hershey's offense was firing on all cylinders. That's a terrific sign for the Bears as they head towards the playoffs.
If last night's performance is any indication, Siegenthaler and the Bears will be just fine.

Disneyland Flex annual pass: 10 things you need…
Disneyland Flex annual pass: 10 things you need to know
We've got the 411 on all your FAQs about the $599 Disney Flex pass.
The $599 Disney Flex annual pass goes on sale May 21 and can be used starting the same day.
By Brady MacDonald | bmacdonald@scng.com |
PUBLISHED: July 29, 2019 at 6:33 a.m. | UPDATED: July 29, 2019 at 6:34 a.m.
The new Disney Flex Passport is different from any annual pass ever offered for Disneyland and Disney California Adventure and with it comes a host of questions.
Fortunately you've come to the right place. We've got the 411 on all your FAQs about the $599 Disney Flex pass.
Sign up for our Park Life newsletter and find out what's new and interesting every week at Southern California's theme parks. Subscribe here.
Let's take a closer look at 10 things you need to know about the new Disney Flex Passport.
The new annual pass comes with a unique twist: Flex passholders need to make advance reservations to get into Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on busy days.
You use the Disneyland website or app to book your reservation in advance. Flex passholders can book a reservation up to a month ahead or even on the day they want to visit.
Disney's goal: To smooth out demand that varies throughout the year based on school schedules, seasonal events, annual passholder blockout dates and the whims of the calendar.
2. Who should get it? And who shouldn't?
The aptly named Flex pass is all about flexibility. It's perfect for visitors with flexible schedules. And the pass gives Disneyland more flexibility when it comes to crowd management.
Deciding whether Disneyland's new Flex annual pass is a tremendous deal or a tremendous waste of money really comes down to one key question: What kind of passholder are you?
Are you a diligent person who likes to plan ahead and would love to visit the parks every month or even every week? Heck, maybe even 350 days a year? Then the Flex pass represents a tremendous value to you at nearly half the cost of the $1,149 Signature pass.
Are you a procrastinator who likes to wait to the last minute and really only goes to the park on weekdays every month or so? Do you tend to stay away from the park on the weekends and the busiest times of the year? Then you might as well go with the $399 SoCal Select pass at nearly half the cost of the new Flex pass.
3. How do I make a reservation? Do I need a reservation every day?
Reservations can be made using the Flex pass calendar on the Disneyland website or app.
The Flex pass calendar has four types of days: Good to Go (No reservation required), Reservation Required, Reservation Unavailable and Blocked Out.
Flex passholders don't need a reservation on Good to Go days. "Reservation Unavailable" means Disney has issued the maximum number of reservations for the day.
4. How many reservations can I have at a time? When can I get another reservation?
You can make reservations up to 30 days in advance. Flex passholders can have up to 2 reservations at a time. Another reservation can be made as soon as you enter the park on your first reservation.
The online passholder calendar shows when Flex pass reservations are full for individual dates.
Reservations can be made on the day of your visit if they are still available. Passholders can add up to eight people to their reservation, provided your friends and family are connected to your Disney account.
5. How do I cancel a reservation? What if I don't show up?
Cancellations can be made until 11:59 p.m. the night before your reservation using the Disneyland website or app. You can cancel as many reservations as you want.
No shows will be penalized for not cancelling their reservations at least a day in advance. After three no shows during a three-month period Flex passholders will find their existing reservations canceled and a hold put on new reservations for 30 days. Ouch. You'll have to talk with a Disney agent to get out of the passholder penalty box.
But don't fret. You can still use your Flex pass on Good to Go days while you're waiting to get back in the good graces of the Disney authorities.

6. Can I get into both parks?
You can make a reservation to either Disneyland, Disney California Adventure or both parks. No reservation is needed on Good to Go days.
It's possible Disneyland could be "unavailable" to Flex passholders while Disney California Adventure remains Good to Go.
7. How does the Flex passport price compare to other annual passes?
The new $599 Flex pass fills a price gap between the bare-bones $399 SoCal Select, which has the most restrictions, and the pricier $799 Deluxe that has fewer block-out dates.
The new Flex pass costs the same as the discontinued $599 Southern California pass that is only available for renewal.
8. Are there many block-out dates? When are they?
In theory, the Flex pass offers visitors access to Disneyland and California Adventure every day of the year but the two weeks around Christmas. In practice, Flex passholders could face more than 200 block out days a year.
Flex passholders will have unlimited access to both parks on off-peak days, generally Monday through Thursday during most of February, March, April, May, September and October. A few Good to Go days fall on Fridays in November, January, February and March.
Flex passholders will need to make advance reservations using the Disneyland website or app for most of June, July and August as well as the weeks of Spring Break, Thanksgiving and leading into Christmas break and all weekends throughout the year.
The Flex pass calendar will be static rather than dynamic, meaning reservation-required days won't change based on unexpected variations in anticipated attendance.
9. What are the perks? How do they compare to other annual passes?
The Flex pass comes with basic perks such as 10 percent off merchandise and dining as well as monthly payments for California residents.
That's not as good as the Signature and Signature Plus passes that offer 15% off at restaurants and 20% off at shops. Those top-tier annual passes also include parking.
10. What am I missing here? Are there any hidden surprises?
The $25 daily parking fee will put a natural limiter on how often Flex passholders visit, serving as a de facto users tax.
Disney will set a cap on the number of Flex reservations that will be available each day. That is the great unknown for Flex passholders, as Disney won't disclose that number or the formula used to calculate it.
And that's where the roll of the dice comes in. It all depends on variables out of your control — namely other Flex passholders and Disney calendar planners. The most important unknown of all: Flex pass gives Disney the power to block out an entire group of passholders with the flip of a switch without any explanation.
Still have questions? Contact Disney's annual passholder hotline at 714-781-7277.

President Xi Jinping has been vocal on the issue. He has already called for an "ecological civilization". The state's "green shift" supports this claim by striving to transition to alternative energies and become more energy efficient.
But there are material benefits as well. China's proactive response has impacted on global energy markets. Today, five of the world's six top solar-module manufacturers, five of the largest wind turbine manufacturers, and six of the ten major car manufacturers committed to electrification are all Chinese-owned. Meanwhile, China is dominant in the lithium sector – think: batteries, electric vehicles and so on – and a global leader in smart grid investment and other renewable energy technologies.
This is only a start. There are modest projections that just 20% of the country's primary energy consumption will come from non-carbon sources by 2030. Nonetheless, China's sheer size means Beijing's aggressive pursuit of emergent and expanding renewables markets should not be ignored. After all, dominating such markets has strong material benefits, while pioneering a green revolution provides intangible benefits in terms of state image and prestige.
So what are these benefits? First, concerns over environmental degradation are very real in China, owing to issues such as air, food and water pollution, and should be acknowledged. Beijing doesn't want food and water scarcity or smoggy skies either, whether for altruistic environmental reasons or concerns over its popular legitimacy.
But it is worth also considering the geopolitical implications of climate change leadership. Take the US for example, historically the largest carbon emitter. The country had previously been active in climate policy, if somewhat hypocritical (support for hydraulic fracturing, for instance). But the current Trump administration is forthright in its baseless denial of climate change, having withdrawn from the Paris Agreement. It has also hired climate deniers to head its environmental agencies and other offices of power.
Contrast this with China, which is becoming increasingly proactive. In 2016 it became the largest shareholder in a new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank which, along with the BRICS-established New Development Bank, invests heavily in green energy. The two institutions are seen as potential competitors to the IMF and the World Bank.
Of course, the situation is not black and white with China "going green" and everyone else sitting idly by. The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), which commits to political, economic and military integration across Eurasia, the world's largest landmass, for instance, comprises of nations with strategic interests in exporting hydrocarbons and coal. However, the same is true for the more environmentally aware Obama administration which advocated forcefully the Trans-Pacific Partnership that would have overriden attempts to establish green industries and constrained signatory states to its agreements with big business ahead of climate change action.
To this end, former president Obama argued that it was necessary for the US to shape the rules of global trade to US benefit. That being the case, what about China? As a major power, it is strengthening its international agency by pioneering these multilateral alternatives, many of which heavily invest in green energy projects. Through development banks or Asian trade agreements, China can provide an alternative vision to an international integration ostensibly based on the universal values espoused by the US and its chief allies.
"Going green", then, while undeniably necessary, is a useful image or value to uphold as it serves to legitimate Chinese international and regional leadership. In this sense, it mirrors the way G7 nations espouse "democracy" or "freedom". Going green also happens to be economically viable for those that have the funds to invest, contributing to China's transition from the world's manufacturing base to a truly major power.
China's response to climate change combined with the size of its economy has thrust it to the centre of a global shift. Large-scale funding through Chinese-led multilateral frameworks could see a new energy system emerge – led by China. This would greatly extend its influence on the international political economy at the expense of those major powers unable or unwilling to respond.
Today I took my mother around Nabiac and Wingham. Firstly we drove to Nabiac and the local markets there. There wasn't a lot happening there, however, we did buy some local produce which was good. The auction nearby was nearly over so we decided to move on.
After Nabiac we travelled to Wingham to take my mother to Wingham Brush – she had never been there before. So we spent a little time wandering around the various boardwalks and looking at the Brush Turkeys and Grey-Headed Flying Fox Bats. There are some very large Fig Trees in the reserve and I took a picture of my mother standing within the buttress roots of one of the trees.
After that we returned home.

Corpus Christi manicurist receives national attention for incredible nail designs
Meagan Falcon
A Corpus Christi woman has received national attention for her nail art.
Nichole Herrera, a manicurist at Artistic Nails, designed a glow-in-the-dark "Nightmare Before Christmas" nail set for one of her customers, and her Facebook followers couldn't believe it.
Erial Soliz Hurtado from San Antonio commented on the Facebook post, saying, "Rita Hurtado, can we drive down to Corpus just so I can have her do my nails?"
Customer Michelle Bazan remembers how the design was made, but most importantly, how it all started with a dare.
"My husband picked out this design, and he didn't think she could do it," Bazan said.
"Nichole just amazes me every time. I knew she could do it, and she proved my husband wrong."
Herrera has been doing nails for eight years, and doing nail art for five, but she can't believe all the attention.
"I'm just shocked," Herrera said.
"I've never had this before and I'm just so happy to see that everyone continues to share my work. "
Bazan has been one of Herrera's clients for a few years.
"I always come to her and I always bring her these bizarre designs. She always makes your nails look so much better than the actual photos," Bazan said.
"I'm just so glad that she is getting this kind of attention. She deserves it."


And here I am again ... with more vacation shots. Tons of photos. But hey... enjoy.
In case you missed part one- here you go - Click HERE to see it.
And just a quick unrelated note - Remember I mentioned my 18-200mm canon lens was dropped and had a boo-boo... well, I sent it to Canon to get repaired and it's back - Looking beautiful and brandy new! I am a happy girl.
Which one is your favorite? I am partial to the last picture of her squatting down on the boat dock.
Daddy & Julianna hugging on a bench by the bayside. I have been trying to work on silhouettes lately. Clearly I still have a lot of practice to do! But... it's fun to play around with the shutter speed.
This is the pool in the condo complex where we stayed in Ocean City. Loved it.
Julianna in the water wiggling her toes.
The Ocean City Boardwalk - It was huge and we loved it - spent 5 hours there one night just strolling around, eating Thrasher's famous french fries, dinner at Hammerheads, drinking Ice Cream milkshakes, going on the rides, shopping ... and so much more!
The kite shop flies all of their kites during the day- Pretty Neat!
Looking at the beach over the wall on the boardwalk!
Happy Girl loved the boardwalk!
Kites & boardwalk at sunset. We lucked out with such pretty sunsets at night - we got so many pinks, blues, oranges & purples every night.
I thought this was a Baltimore Oriole but I looked it up and it's a Barn Swallow!
I never saw one up close- they were hanging out down by the boat docks.
Squatting to pick up a flower ... she said "Oh no - boo boo!" about the flower because it fell off of the bush.
I love them all. Great pictures!
Ocean City should give you $ .....you make it look fabulous!!
Aww thank you!! :) It was fun!
All the photos are great, but I think my favorite is the second to last one. Julianna is so pretty.
Thank you melissa! :) She is a good model – she is used to me chasing her around with the camera like crazy mom!
Fabulous shots! I love the boardwalk and the kites. And that bird--wow!
Thank you for the compliments back too! I just could sit and take pictures of Julianna all day but I'm sure you feel the same about your Jax! :) They are awesome models too which doesn't hurt!
Beach Geese~that is so funny and smart of her to make that association!
we went to the beach this past weekend and she was talking about and watching the beach geese all day long - too funny! Kids are great. She was staning up on the chair at lunch and saying "Hi" to the ones next to the table outdoors - so cute!

Husband's affair could be more about money than love
By Jeanne Phillips, ©2017 Universal Press Syndicate
DEAR ABBY: I am 68 and my husband is 80. I just found out he is involved with a 40-year-old woman. He says it is not an affair because they haven't actually had sex!
I don't know what to do. Can you help me?
HEARTBROKEN IN NEW MEXICO
DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Your husband may not be having an affair in the physical sense, but he is having an emotional affair. He may be flattered by the attention he's receiving from a younger woman, or he may think he's actually in love with her. Whether she is in love with him is open to question.
However, if your husband is giving her money, you might have an argument that he is being manipulated into it, which could qualify as elder abuse. Remember, too, if you are a longtime wife in a community property state, half of the assets acquired during your marriage are yours. If he doesn't agree to end the relationship, this is something you might want to discuss with a lawyer.
DEAR ABBY: My 7-year-old daughter, "Jessie," has a best friend who lives next door. The neighbor, "Laurie," has an older brother, "Jason," who is 13.
Recently, Jessie played at Laurie's house, and when she came home she told me Jason had said some nasty things to her. When I asked what they were, she told me that one time Jason told her to pull down her underwear, and another time he told her to pull down his pants and do something that can't be mentioned in a family newspaper.
When I heard it, I was livid. I told his mother about it, and now she will not let my daughter play with Laurie. She believes Jessie made it all up.
My daughter is inconsolable because she no longer has a playmate. She believes it is her fault that Laurie can't play with her because she told me. I don't know what to do so the girls can play together.
NEEDS A PLAYMATE
DEAR NEEDS: It is important that you make Jessie understand that none of this was her fault — it was Jason's fault — and that she did the right thing by telling you.
What you need to do now is help your daughter find other playmates, preferably some whose parents supervise when children play in their home.
While Jason's mother may not want to believe what her son did, it's highly unlikely your daughter made it up. Dealing with a problem like that by putting her head in the sand will only invite more trouble, because Jason is sure to repeat it with some other little girl.
DEAR ABBY: Today I called my church to cancel my attendance at a retreat a month from now. I had paid $25 to hold my spot.
When I stated my reason for calling, the church secretary said, "Do you want a refund or would you like to donate toward tithes?" I thought this was nervy. I told her to refund the money.
What is your thought on this?
WANTS A REFUND IN BRENTWOOD, CALIF.

The IRS is reminding taxpayers that they have until Sept. 28, 2018 to apply for the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP) which provides certain taxpayers the opportunity to voluntarily report previously undisclosed foreign accounts or assets to the IRS. The program enables taxpayers to become compliant with the IRS, and is designed to provide taxpayers protection from criminal prosecution and terms for resolving their tax and penalty obligations.
Taxpayers with undisclosed accounts that fail to take advantage of this program run the risk of being detected by the IRS and be subject to penalties or prosecution. Simply filing amended returns does not eliminate the risk of criminal prosecution. In addition, the taxpayer must not be under audit or civil examination in order to qualify for the OVDP.
Taxpayers considering to make a voluntary disclosure should discuss the matter with their tax advisor immediately. Given that the program will end soon, taxpayers should take advantage of this opportunity to come back into compliance, reduce potential civil penalties and minimize risk of criminal prosecution. For more information contact us in one of our many locations.

Chan-Dog and the VibeVan has garnered some media attention since I have started the campaign at the end of May 2018, just a few short months ago.
I was the Radio during Jon Smith's evening, talking about the campaign, the VibeVan and the mental health awareness in general. I also shared some of my own personal story, including my battles with mental health and how it cost me my career in financial services in London.
I explain how I overcame my mental heath struggles and used them to empower me to forge a new path in life. By sharing my story and experiences, I endeavour to help others overcome their mental health struggles, whilst also campaigning for positive change to UK mental healthcare. I mention I have set up a separate community interest company which will work towards this goal.
Jon was keen for me to keep him updated on developments with the campaign so he can feature it again on his show.


Licences to work on building sites are to be included in an Easter egg job hunt at a JobCentre Plus in south east London.
The hunt, which has been branded humiliating, will see around 150 job seekers hunt out 35 chocolate eggs hidden in a JobCentre Plus office in Southwark on Wednesday. Finding an egg will result in a prize which could be anything from shopping vouchers to buy clothes for interviews to payment for a license to work on a building site.
The JobCentre Plus office involved has defended the hunt saying it was meant as a bit of fun.

Stone by Stone: The Magnificent History in New England's Stone Walls (Paperback)
By Robert Thorson
There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. They took three billion man-hours to build. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story—about the geothermal forces that formed their stones, the tectonic movements that brought them to the surface, the glacial tide that broke them apart, the earth that held them for so long, and about the humans who built them.
Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. "The stone wall is the key that links the natural history and human history of New England," Thorson writes. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. During the Ice Age, pieces were cleaved off by glaciers and deposited—often hundreds of miles away—when the glaciers melted. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into "linear landfills," a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeast's landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy.
Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.
Robert M. Thorson—scientist, teacher, writer— is Professor of Geology at the University of Connecticut, where he holds a joint appointment between the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) and the Department of Anthropology, with additional responsibilities to the Honors Program and the Integrated Geosciences Program. He teaches courses, advises students, performs sponsored research, serves on committees, and provides articles, reviews and interviews. Beyond the classroom, he writes a weekly Thursday column for The Hartford Courant, and coordinates the Stone Wall Initiative, now in the process of being incorporated into the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History (Connecticut Archaeology Center). He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, The Geological Society of America, and the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Science.

Perhaps a fact not so well known is that the Zoutpansberger is also a member of the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors (ISWNE). Even though the ISWNE is a global society, most of the members are from the US. This week is Sunshine Week in the United States and is a week dedicated to highlighting the importance of freedom of information.
In South Africa we have several laws, such as the PAIA Act, meant to promote access to information. Unfortunately, these rights get trampled on a daily basis. Just last week we reported on the Limpopo Gambling Board's wanting to"screen" journalists first before providing information. Even PAIA applications are refused for no valid reason, with very little recourse for the journalists.
This is a fight that needs to be fought with more vigour. Encouraging to read, however, is that this is a global fight. Below is an editorial written by an ISWNE member, explaining, in a very entertaining manner, the problems that US reporters deal with.
George Harrison's song of spring is a fitting start to this Sunshine Week salute to everyday heroes bringing light to local government.
It goes with the territory. The press must sometimes teach Sunshine 101 to public officials on Main Street, U.S.A. This column recognizes some of those intrepid reporters and public servants with symbolic citations from my Sunshine Week playlist.

Delauter later apologized.

Q: Using util.parsing in Scala 2.11 I have written a Scala program with Eclipse Scala IDE that uses scala.util.parsing.JSON and I would like to transform it to support Scala 2.11 version. In Scala 2.11 I get an error:
error: object parsing is not a member of package util.
I have found out that the parsing library is not anymore in the util package by default, but has to be downloaded separately here.
I have downloaded that and tried to add it to my Eclipse project as a new source folder, but that didn't work out. The instructions are only for adding it to sbt, but I don't think that is relevant to me if I want to just use it in Eclipse.
Should I try to find a JAR file somewhere?

A:
Should I try to find a JAR file somewhere?

Yes, you should. :)
And specifically, you should use this one (in SBT syntax):
libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-parser-combinators" % "1.0.2"

The above line should be all you need to add to build.sbt if you're using SBT. If you want to manually add it to your project by downloading it, you can find it on Maven Central.
The scala-parser-combinators library was removed in 2.11 so that people who don't use it don't have to pay a price for having it in the scala runtime library. Consequently, people who do want to use it have to now explicitly include it in their build. Note that the XML library was similarly removed in 2.11 to its own library.

Thanks to all our donors—individuals like you—who make it possible for the Zinn Education Project to promote the teaching of people's history. We are pleased to highlight some of the stories and endorsements that donors have shared with us.
▸ READ MORE Bill Fletcher, Jr.
Young people need to learn the people's history so they can be leaders for the social change we all so desperately need. Right now, the world can seem a hopeless place. But there is hope if our teachers share true stories of the power of collective action. I didn't get to hear that story until I read A People's History of the United States in college. I don't want our children to be 20 before they get the chance. That's why I support the Zinn Education Project.
The need for this project could not be more timely. Social change is only possible if people understand their history and they are willing to question. Reading Howard Zinn's books and attending his lectures when I was in college greatly influenced and provided me with the perspective and understanding to pursue a career as an attorney representing whistleblowers. I sincerely hope that others who have been inspired by Howard Zinn will give what they can to this project so you are able to reach many, many more teachers and students in the coming year.
Whenever there was a struggle for peace and justice, Howard was there, on the front lines, unflagging in his enthusiasm, and inspiring in his integrity, engagement, eloquence and insight; a light touch of humor in the face of adversity, and dedication to non-violence and sheer decency. It is hard even to imagine how many young people's lives were touched, and how deeply, by his achievements, both in his work and his life.
I'm donating to support the great work you do in providing resources to teachers and others to help tell the full story of the history of the United States. I'm a retired college professor who made use of your resources in teaching U.S. history.
I have gladly made an annual financial commitment to the Zinn Education Project. In these times with education funding being slashed; history and social studies downgraded, we need the Zinn Education Project more than ever. By any measure, the Zinn Education Project is growing, successful, and true to my father's vision. It's heartening to see that so many K–12 educators are "teaching outside the textbook." Read more.
As an immigrant from Germany who lived in the United States for thirty years, I know how the truth of a story comes through the richness of diverse voices. My own work teaching mindfulness, yoga, and other awareness practices that are somewhat outside the mainstream of traditional education makes the work of the Zinn Education Project even more meaningful to me. I care deeply about educating and empowering young people so they can contribute to creating a more just, democratic and inclusive society. It is this kind of authentic education we should all support.
I am donating because the Zinn Education Project shares stories of courage, resolve, and hope that I don't get from any other source.
We contribute to the Zinn Education Project because it is a powerful way to help teachers and students learn a more complete, nuanced, and inclusive history of our nation.
Many of the social, economic, and even political problems that we face today are rooted in our country's racial caste system. We can't begin to think responsibly about how to solve these problems if we don't understand how they were created. The Zinn Education Project attempts to bring that understanding of our racial history to middle and high school students, and for that we are all in the project's debt.
I was introduced to Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States in the 12th grade by my AP Government educator. She instilled a passion for politics and social justice that I never really sat back and understood; until now, a decade later. I hope this donation assists other students across the country learn a more complete and inclusive history than that's found in their textbooks. It's important now more than ever for young people to understand and learn more about lives that are not included in a standard curriculum, and give voices to those who are silenced. I hope this helps students gain an awareness of differing perspectives, inspires them to become passionate about change, and drives them to take action. We cannot be neutral on a moving train.

Along with providing great results, Damon Braces are one of the most affordable fixed brace treatments. Angus has treated hundreds of patients with Damon Braces and chose to have them when he had braces!
Are Damon Braces noticeable to other people?
Damon Braces are available as metal or white/clear blocks. Even Damon Q (metal brace) are a lot less conspicuous than traditional metal braces. The type of white/clear fixed brace routinely used by Angus is called Damon Clear. As you can see in the photos, it is very difficult to see the Damon Clear Brace!
Why would you choose to have Damon Braces?
Damon Braces are the most popular type of brace amongst Angus' teenage and adult patients, for the following reasons.
Discrete: Damon Braces are designed to be discrete, comfortable and easy to keep clean.
Aesthetics: Damon Q (metal brace) are smaller than traditional fixed braces and Damon Clear are a lot less conspicuous than traditional fixed braces.
Time: Fixed braces, like Damon Braces, are the most efficient brace for straightening crooked teeth.
How much does Damon Brace treatment cost?


The President of Kiribati says a ferry that has been missing for 11 days may have been carrying as many as 100 passengers.
Earlier reports had said the MV Butiraoi was carrying about 50 people from Nonouti Island to the capital Tarawa - a journey that should have taken no more than two days.
President Taneti Maamau says the government did not become aware of the missing vessel until last Friday.
An international search began at the weekend with a New Zealand Air Force Orion on Sunday locating eight survivors drifting in a dinghy.
They have since been picked up by a fishing boat.
After a special cabinet meeting today, the President said the vessel was not seaworthy.
He also said the government had announced a national week of prayer.
Meanwhile searchers are continuing to scour more than 300,000 square kilometres of ocean for survivors.

Who is… Margaux Vranken?
She studies classical piano for many years but also occasionally listens to pop and boogie-woogie. A workshop with jazz bassist Alexandre Furnelle leads her to get involved in jazz. She then follows the usual path of jazz classes at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
Meanwhile, Margaux sings for four years with the Choraline, La Monnaie/De Munt Brussels Youth Choir.
With the quartet Pinto (founded in 2012), she charts her own course in jazz for the very first time. Right away, she wins the audience award at the Brussels Jazz Marathon competition in 2014. The previous year, she is among the finalists at the Leffe Jazz Nights competition.
She is gaining international recognition little by little, as evidenced only recently by a series of concerts in Berlin.
All attention is currently focused on the brand-new trio with bassist Fil Caporali and drummer Pit Dahm.
In the meantime, she also composes the soundtrack for the documentary 'Les Liberterres' released in 2015.
It is the African Matonge district in Ixelles/Elsene with its numerous little restaurants and loads of exotic specialties. Another reason why I choose this neighbourhood is of course jazz club The Sounds where I attend concerts very often and where I had the opportunity to hit the stage already several times.
'Covered' by Robert Glasper: I have been listening to the CD again and again for months. On the repertoire, there are some of the great classics. I myself am a big fan of the Great American Songbook. As a composer, it is, at least in my opinion, an incredible source of inspiration.
I'd like to pick an event rather than one specific concert and that is the Brussels Jazz Marathon. This year, I did not perform on stage but it allowed me to see and hear many of my friends at work. It goes to show how vibrant the jazz scene is in Brussels.
"Only those who look far ahead, will go far". Each and every day, you have to believe in yourself and be highly motivated.

The Chihuahua — Pearls for Pups Co.
We thought the blush pink was cute in 12mm, but we just can't get over how adorable (seriously) they are in the smaller size. We thought these cute little pearls should be named after an equally cute little dog: the chihuahua!
We also offer this pearl in 12mm, called The Pink Poodle.


Elephant shrews, which evolved in Africa some 100 million years ago and have never left the continent, are so named because of their long, flexible snouts. (Ironically, genetic analysis has recently found that they are actually more closely related to elephants than to shrews; other kinfolk include sea cows and aardvarks.) Scientists knew of 15 species, but now Galen Rathbun of the California Academy of Sciences and collaborators have found a 16th, as they report in The Journal of Zoology. It's the first new one discovered in 126 years.
Named the gray-faced sengi (Rhynochocyon udzungwensis), the new species weighs about 700 grams (1.5 pounds), more than 25 percent more than any other elephant shrew. It lives only in two high-elevation forests in the mountains of south-central Tanzania. It has a distinctive gray face and a jet-black lower rump—and shows yet again that nature still harbors secrets from nosy scientists.

Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid in the joints. It's characterized by sudden and severe pain in the joints. It usually affects the joint at the base of the big toe, but can also affect the joints of the fingers, elbows, wrists, or knees. An episode of gout usually lasts for about 3 days with treatment and up to 14 days without treatment. If left untreated, you're more likely to have new episodes more frequently, and it can lead to worsening pain and even joint damage.
During an episode of gout, you'll experience intense joint pain. Once the initial pain has passed, you can have lingering discomfort. The joint will also usually be inflamed and red, and you may have limited movement in that area.
You may experience frequent episodes of gout, which could lead to chronic gout and permanent joint damage. You may also develop tiny, white and painful lumps under your skin. This is where urate crystals have formed.
Read on to learn more about managing and preventing this condition.
Anti-inflammatory medication, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), should be taken as soon as you experience a flare-up. This medication can be purchased over the counter. If you have a history of gout, make sure you always have anti-inflammatory medication. That way, if you have an episode, you can take medication as soon as symptoms begin.
If the episode has not subsided after three days, talk to your doctor. They may prescribe steroids, either in tablet form or as an injection.
If you have frequent flare-ups, your doctor will probably want to test your blood to check the level of uric acid. If you test positive for a high level of uric acid, then you may be prescribed allopurinol (Zyloprim, Lopurin) or febuxostat (Uloric), which can lower these levels if taken long term.
Uric acid is produced by the body when it breaks down a chemical called purine. It's then eliminated from the body in urine. Purine is found in our bodies naturally, but it's also found in many foods. Following a gout diet low in purine may help reduce the frequency of gout flare-ups.
A gout diet is the same as most diets. It recommends you eat in a balanced and healthy way. Maintaining a healthy weight is also important as being overweight increases your likelihood for gout flare-ups. Being overweight also increases the intensity of flare-ups and makes them harder to manage. that losing weight, even without restricting purine intake, lowers uric acid levels.
any food which is rich in Vitamin C.
Call your doctor if you're experiencing a sudden and intense pain in one of your joints for the first time. A diagnosis of gout is important so that you can know how to effectively treat it. Once diagnosed, your doctor will give you lots of advice on how to manage the condition should it return.
Seek immediate medical attention if you have a fever and a red or inflamed joint. This could be a sign of an infection, which may require treatment.
Making healthy lifestyle choices will not only help to manage the intensity of the pain of gout during a flare-up, but it can also prevent future episodes from occurring. If you do have a flare-up, take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicine as soon as your symptoms begin, and rest and ice the affected joint. Talk to your doctor if symptoms do not improve within three days of treatment or if this is your first time experiencing these symptoms.

Limnanthes vinculans, the Sebastopol meadowfoam, is an endangered species of meadowfoam found only in the Laguna de Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, California, United States and an area slightly to the south in the Americano Creek and Washoe Creek watersheds. The name  vinculans derives from the Latin root vinculum, meaning "a bond, a cord." The specific epithet vinculans means linking or bonding, in reference to the sharing of some characters of  L. vinculans with L. douglasii (R.Br) and  L. bakeri (J.T. Howell).

Description
Like the other meadowfoams, Limnanthes vinculans is a small annual herb, with multiple stems growing up to  in height; white flowers occur singly at the ends of stems. This plant bears white flowers singly at the termini of its stems.  L. vinculans is unique in its genus for having compound leaves with three to five leaflets; each leaflet is entire, with a narrow-obovate shape. The flowers are small (12 to 18 millimeters across), white, generally bowl-shaped, and bloom in April and May. Although the young leaves are narrow and undivided, leaves on the mature plant have their undivided leaflets along each side of a long stalk (petiole). The shape of the leaves distinguishes Sebastopol meadowfoam from other members of the Limnanthes genus. The fruit consists of three to four millimeter long nutlets.

Distribution and habitat
This species is only known from approximately 30 locations in the laguna de Santa Rosa and southern Cotati Valley of Sonoma County, in these areas it occurs in wet meadows and around vernal pools at elevations of under 300 meters. Sites range from Graton, around the northern and western perimeters of Sebastopol, and east to Santa Rosa.

Sebastopol meadowfoam is endemic to a narrow region within Sonoma County, occurring only at elevations less than 300 meters above mean sea level. The occurrences are limited to the upper and central reaches of the Laguna de Santa Rosa and parts of the Americano Creek and Washoe Creek watersheds, which drain to the Pacific Ocean. L. vinculans is found primarily in vernal pools associated with the generally level to slightly sloping terrain. Typically the herb is found in hydric soils associations, and is often found in joint occurrence with the endangered Burke's goldfields (Lasthenia burkei) and Sonoma sunshine (Blennosperma bakeri)   The Santa Rosa plain vernal pools occur primarily as fragmented remains of Valley Oak Woodland, grassland, and persistent wetland vegetation.

Conservation
Sebastopol meadowfoam was placed on the State of California list of endangered plants in 1979.
L. Vinculans was listed as a U.S. federally endangered species on December 2, 1991. The state of California and U.S. Government are working closely with Sonoma County and the cities of Sebastopol and Santa Rosa to analyze land development proposals in areas of potential habitat, with a goal of disapproving such projects or requiring appropriate In situ or Ex-situ conservation. The primary proactive form of protection is through the regional vernal pool conservation and restoration program.

Sebastopol meadowfoam habitat is threatened by a number of human activities, particularly urbanization spreading out from nearby cities Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park and Cotati. In spring 2005, a controversy erupted when the plant was reported at the site of a proposed commercial/residential development project within the boundary of the City of Sebastopol known as Laguna Vista. State wildlife officials concluded that the meadowfoam had been deliberately transplanted from elsewhere, presumably to block the development project, and ordered the plants to be dug up. Opponents of the project disagreed and have presented testimony from experts who argue that the state used incomplete analysis to arrive at its finding. In spring 2006, the plants reappeared, although officials said they had likely sprouted from seeds scattered the previous year. Sebastopol's city council has yet to make a final decision regarding the Laguna Vista project.
