Prison for the men who laughed as they tortured a shark in Florida
This is regarding a video circulating the internet, where a group of individuals traveling at high speed on the water dragged a shark around and laughed at its distress. This sociopathic behavior demands attention and prevention. This act of violence was in fact a criminal act. We as the people summon Palmetto, FL man Michael Robert Wenzel, born June 07, 1996, and his accomplices in this video to 1,000 community service hours. These 1,000 community service hours will be held under the supervision of The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. They will use that time to teach these men to treat our Florida wildlife with respect. Scheduling may involve either 125 days lasting 8 hours long, or as determined the FWC, given that it equals 1,000 hours and is completed within a year. Wenzel and his accomplices will pay for any costs associated. This may include hiring outside trainers and educators, on-the-clock hours, gasoline expenses, etc. We also demand that everyone in this video has their fishing licenses revoked permanently. We the people also request that Florida lawmakers pass a bill making this kind of animal torture a second-degree felony. We also demand that these people be punished for their crimes of animal abuse. This punishment should consist of jail time in addition to community service. [ Updates - 28 July, 2017 ] This act of violence is criminal per the Florida statute Chapter 828. We expect charges to be pressed as per law. The public is growing more concerned as no charges have been pressed yet. 828.12 section 2 states that a person who intentionally commits an act to any animal which results in the cruel death, or excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering, or causes the same to be done, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. s. 775.082 covers a wide variety of punishments, including imprisonment. We the people demand that Michael Wenzel and his accomplices be charged with animal abuse and arrested. The delay in action is causing the public to lose faith in the justice system. We expect to see these men arrested for crimes they have committed. Hyperlink - reference to story: http://wtfflorida.com/news-articles/boaters-drag-tormented-shark-around-laughing/

Petitioning Florida Governor
Repeal the law requiring Florida gambling facilities to offer greyhound racing.
More than half of the greyhound races held in the US are in the state of Florida. Since May 2013, nearly 400 dogs have died at Florida tracks — some had their necks broken, some died of heat stroke, and still others were electrocuted to death. I've spent decades working to bring racing dogs back to health after they have been subjected to horrifying treatment like being kept in cramped, solitary cages for twenty or more hours a day, and even being dosed with illegal drugs like cocaine. Here's the thing: Florida gambling facilities don't even want to hold greyhound races in the first place — but they're required to by a state law that mandates dog racing. If this harmful state dog racing mandate is repealed, greyhound racing will slowly phase out and end in the Sunshine State. I've spent 20 years working to help injured, worn-out greyhounds rescued from the racing industry. Adoption groups like mine are doing all we can, but there are far more of these amazing animals who need help than we are ever able to bring back to health. Until this law changes, we're facing an unwinnable battle. Tell the Florida legislature that it's time to repeal the law that requires gambling facilities to conduct greyhound racing. There is no reason for this animal cruelty to continue, especially when the businesses operating the race tracks don't want to keep them going in the first place. Greyhound racing hasn't been profitable in Florida for years. Last year alone, Florida tracks lost $32 million holding greyhound races. Even the state is losing money on dog racing, because the costs of regulating the races exceed revenues. The state dog racing mandate is a loser for everyone. The tracks are losing money, taxpayers are taking a loss, and the greyhounds are losing their lives. Tell the Florida State Legislature to stop keeping greyhound racing alive, and to repeal the law requiring that tens of thousands of greyhound races take place in the state each year.

Add a need-based component to Medicaid
My four-year-old daughter Avery has medical conditions so severe that she will need assistance for the rest of her life. When Avery is sick, I quickly find myself drowning in debt and struggling to afford the care she needs. Unfortunately, I make too much to qualify for Medicaid, even though I wouldn't be able to afford her bills if I made double what I was making now. I am asking the state of Florida to add a need-based component to Medicaid, so that families of loved ones with severe and extremely costly medical conditions can get the healthcare they need without sacrificing their family's financial security. Families like mine aren't asking for handouts. Many of us are fortunate enough to have insurance, which covers some of our loved ones' medical bills. But because we make more than the annual Medicaid income threshold of around $26,000, we are prohibited from getting state assistance, something crucial for families of debilitated children. We are left with two primary choices – hope that our child's affliction qualifies for the Medicaid Waiver (my daughter does not because her disease is rare) and enter the seven-year long waitlist; or quit working, sacrifice our annual income and family's well-being in order to qualify for Medicaid. As a single father of three children, I have a responsibility to provide my kids with the best life possible. I cannot do that now, because Florida's Medicaid program refuses to help me afford Avery's care for bills that well-exceed the scope of my insurance coverage. How can I keep a roof over my kids' head, food on the table, and find a way to save for their education if the majority of my income is going towards her medical bills? Sadly, my children are the real victims here. I agree that low-income families need help in receiving healthcare, but families who have loved ones with severe and costly disabilities should also be able to get the necessary assistance from Medicaid. I shouldn't have to quit my job so my daughter can qualify for Medicaid. I shouldn't be penalized for trying to be a contributor. That doesn't help anyone -- not my daughter, my family or society at large. Please help me change Florida's Medicaid for the better and ask for a need-based component, so families like mine can take care of their loved ones without sacrificing their family's security.

Outlaw hog vs. dog hunting/fighting in the wild
Goal: To outlaw the cruel and inhumane practice of using dogs to hunt wild boar in Florida, as well as in the 31 others states it's currently legal or have no laws on the books. Florida (as well as other states) has a wild boar problem. Hogs are numerous, omnivorous and have no natural predators, making them one of the largest nuisance pests in the state. There are many humane options for dealing with the pigs, which do not need to involve brutally killing the pigs or putting domesticated dogs in harm's way. However, despite the existence of alternatives, Florida and other states have exempted the use of "bait-dogs" in boar hunting. This practice is incredibly dangerous and very inhumane for the dogs and boars involved. Each of the 32 states that allow this practice laws differ, but Florida animal cruelty statute states: FLORIDA ANIMALS: CRUELTY; SALES; ANIMAL ENTERPRISE PROTECTION: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0800-0899/0828/Sections/0828.122.html 828.122 Fighting or baiting animals; offenses; penalties.—(1) This act may be cited as "The Animal Fighting Act."(2) As used in this section, the term:(a) "Animal fighting" means fighting between roosters or other birds or between dogs, bears, or other animals.(b) "Baiting" means to attack with violence, to provoke, or to harass an animal with one or more animals for the purpose of training an animal for, or to cause an animal to engage in, fights with or among other animals. In addition, "baiting" means the use of live animals in the training of racing greyhounds.(c) "Person" means every natural person, firm, copartnership, association, or corporation.(3) Any person who knowingly commits any of the following acts commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084:Baiting, breeding, training, transporting, selling, owning, possessing, or using any wild or domestic animal for the purpose of animal fighting or baiting; (9) This section shall not apply to:.....(e) Any person using dogs to hunt wild hogs or to retrieve domestic hogs pursuant to customary hunting or agricultural practices." The exception (e) makes NO logical sense, because dogs are trained to "hunt" by chasing, cornering, attacking and fighting. So, why is it illegal to cause a dog to fight another dog, or a pig in an enclosure, but it is legal to use dogs to chase and viciously attack pigs while being trained and in the wild? Boar hunting with dogs is exactly what it sounds like: dogs trained to track and attack. They are taken out into the country, or wherever wild hogs are plentiful, and set loose to sniff out hogs. Once a hog is found the dogs will chase it down, corner, bay and attack it, usually leaving it badly injured, but normally still alive. Hunters (when they catch up) will kill the pig, usually by "sticking," which is a prolonged death vs. the use of a proper gun. Wild hogs are incredibly difficult to kill and will put up a fight until the end. Many dogs involved are wounded by tusks, bitten, trampled and sometimes killed. This is basically animal fighting, in the wild. Putting dogs in such a dangerous situation is inhumane and should not be legal. Visit http://sugarshope.org/ to learn more. PETITION LETTER: Wild boars are a major problem in Florida and in other states. The species has no natural predators, is omnivorous and repopulates very quickly: it is because of these traits that wild boars are a force hard to reckon with. There are many control methods used, some of them very inhumane. Currently it is legal for dogs to be used in wild hog hunting. This practice is extremely dangerous for the dogs involved and leads to inappropriate practices elsewhere. Dogs involved in hunting are likely to be seriously injured by the hogs. Dogs get trampled, bitten, pierced by tusks and may be infected with diseases that pigs carry. The hogs are frightened, outnumbered and suffer a painful death. I urge you to propose a ban on hunting wild pigs with dogs in order to put a stop to these inappropriate behaviors. Please consider other methods of wild pig population control, such as designating land for hogs to be displaced to, and controlling breeding of the species. Allowing dogs to hunt them is inhumane and unnecessary. Visit http://sugarshope.org/ to learn more. Sincerely, [Your Name Here]

Free Ahed Tamimi
My name is Nasri Akil from Toronto, Canada. I started this campaign to support" Ahed Tamimi", her mother "Mariam", her cousin "Nur" and the other kids detained by the evil hands of the Zionists of the fake state of Israel. In a desperate hope to get enough signature to put pressure on decision makers to do something about the constant twisted detention of Palestinian kids. In turn this will expose the evil of the zionists and pressure the international community. I would like to mention here that this petition has nothing to do with race or religion or ethnicity. It's pure right against wrong. Zionism is not Judaism. Judaism is a religion not a race. Many Jews are not Zionists. Most Zionists are not Jews. Many Zionists hate Jews. Opposition to Israel is NOT anti-Semitism. Ahed Tamimi, 16, was arrested ( kidnapped actually ) by Israeli forces in the middle of the night. Since she was a young child, she has been active in weekly demonstrations against Israel's theft of her family's land in occupied Nabi Saleh. But as Tamimi stands against Israeli occupation, she underscores: whenever a people face oppression, we must show solidarity. Israeli soldiers shot Ahed Tamimi's relative in the head, leaving the teenage boy in a coma, and then invaded her family home. She demanded that the occupying Israeli soldiers leave her property immediately, shouting "don't touch me" and "leave!" Now she's in Israeli military detention, where 75% of Palestinian children report assault. Ahed is a child, and like thousands of Palestinian children she could be humiliated and abused if we don't get her out fast. She has become another child statistic of the countless other children detained illegally in Israel. Her court date is December 25th, 2017. She was taken into question at the Moscobiyeh prison, notorious for it's dungeon cell, torture tactics fully utilized on children, and extensive harassment. She was put in isolation, left in an icy cell, without proper food. In fives days she was moved three times. Why? To exhaust and break her. When her mother arrived to be there with her, she too was arrested. We demand that Ahed and all Palestinian children are released from Israeli prisons now. The international community must put an end to the ill-treatment and detention of Palestinian children. Enough is enough. Ahed Tamimi represent all the innocent kids in the Isareli detention and represent the Palestinians struggle against the illegal occupation of Palestine. Since 1967, Palestinian children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory have been living under Israeli military law and prosecuted in military courts. Israeli military law, which fails to ensure and denies basic and fundamental rights, is applied to the whole Palestinian population. Israel is the only country in the world that automatically prosecutes children in military courts that lack basic and fundamental fair trial guarantees. Since 2000, at least 8,000 Palestinian children have been arrested and prosecuted in an Israeli military detention system notorious for the systematic ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children. Around 500-700 Palestinian children are arrested, detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military court system each year. The majority of Palestinian child detainees are charged with throwing stones, and three out of four experience physical violence during arrest, transfer or interrogation. Unlike Israeli children living in illegal settlements in the West Bank, Palestinian children are not accompanied by a parent and are generally interrogated without the benefit of legal advice, or being informed of their right. They are overwhelmingly accused of throwing stones, an offense that can lead to a potential maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years depending on a child's age. AHED TAMIMI will go to trial on Christmas Day for slapping an Israeli soldier, illegally trespassing on her property, the day after her 15-year-old cousin was shot in the face. In December 2011, Mustafa Tamimi was killed during a protest in the village when an Israeli soldier shot him in the face with a tear gas canister. One year later, Israeli soldiers shot and killed Rashadi Tamimi in the village. One wonders why the "slap" is the Crime? I decided to do something about it and start with what I can. So that's why I am here asking you to help me help Ahed, her family and all the other kids. I also started a fund raising campaign on "GoFundMe" hoping to raise enough money to hire as many legal advisors to support Ahed and the others legaly in the court and get some justice. I mean enough is enough...I can't sleep I can't eat and these kids are experiencing all of that twist. Someone must do something. This is not right. This is not humanity. We cannot make this acceptable by doing nothing. I earnestly ask that at the very least, we make some noise in support of Ahed Tamimi and the other children that are held prisoners with no charge, no defense, all in violation of international laws. She is one, but we are many. It takes a united front to add pressure, to induce accountability and hopefully give freedom to the oppressed, weak and innocent. To Ahed and all the children in Israeli jails: We stand by your side, and are holding you in our hearts. We will not give up until you are free. You are not alone. As a wise man ounce said: "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible" Sign. Support. Make Noise. Add Pressure. Be Human. what if Ahed was your daughter, sister or just a friend? What would you do?

URGE FLORIDA CONGRESSMEN TO VOTE FOR NET NEUTRALITY
This petition is aimed at the multiple representatives, and one senator in the state of Florida, who voted to open the door for ISPs to sell customer data in a recent election. Consumer awareness is on the rise, especially as the vote for Net Neutrality draws near (within the next month.) As many know, the state of Florida holds one of the strongest voices in congress, and the votes of the representatives in our 27 districts are not taken lightly. 15 of our 27 Representatives voted in favor of an act similar to the repeal of Net Neutrality, which arguably infringed upon the personal rights of consumers. We can predict, both from their voting patterns, and the hearty compensation they receive from the telecom industry, that the Representatives this petition hopes to appeal to will vote in favor of the repeal of Net Neutrality as instated by Chairman Pai. If Net Neutrality were to be repealed, "ISPs would have the power to block websites, slow them down, give some sites an advantage over others, split the Internet into "fast lanes" for companies that pay and "slow lanes" for the rest, (and could) force (you) to buy special "tiers" to access the sites and services (you) choose." (Cred) For a full disclosure of what exactly your congressmen are voting for, read the entire repeal here. This being said, I urge you, as citizens of Florida to both write to the representatives of your district, and to write to Sen. Marco Rubio, and make sure they're taking the ethical stance on Net Neutrality. Thank you for your time, and support.

Help families of murdered children pass Curtis's Law
I will never forget the day those policeman came to my door to tell me that my son Curtis was dead. Your world is immediately flipped upside down and the pain grips you like nothing else you can imagine. After the initial shock wears off, you want answers. As a parent, you need basic answers. Answers to questions like: Who is investigating my child's case, and where are their belongings? As if the pain of losing my child wasn't enough, I had to take on the additional stress and frustration of attempting to pry these very basic details out of the law enforcement agency investigating my son's death. In Florida, law enforcement agencies are not required to release any information about on-going murder investigations to anyone. My son's investigation has been on-going for almost 20 years now. I had to get a lawyer to simply find out who was working on my son's case! I would later learn that my experience was not unique. Other parents were struggling through the same process. Those who can't afford legal counsel often give up. This is why I am working with other parents of murdered children to create a law in Florida that would require law enforcement agencies to send a letter to the parent, legal guardian, or next-of-kin within 30 days of notifying them of their child's death. The letter would include information about: Onsite police and paramedics, assigned investigators, coroner's name, where child's property and belongings are stored, and any available photos This would NOT be required if the child's parent, legal guardian, or next-of-kin is a suspect or person-of-interest in the child's murder investigation. When a family faces the unthinkable, all they want is some type of closure. They shouldn't have to spend weeks or months, or even retain legal counsel to get the basic information about their child's case that can help our families begin to heal. Please sign this petition today and help families like mine pass Curtis's Law today. If you wish to help the Families to get Basic Information in a Homicide Investigation of a Child.

Take preventive measures to decrease the amount of victims who drown in submerged vehicles.
More accident victims drown in submerged vehicles in Florida than in any other state in the nation. Last month, this statistic grew to include my best friend Chloe Nicole Arenas. On June 28th, Chloe was traveling on State road 408 when she lost control of her vehicle and proceeded off the Alafaya Trail ramp exit into a retention pond, where she died. There are no barriers in front of this retention pond. In fact, there are no guardrails, barriers, or traffic control devices along many bodies of water in Florida. I want to change that. Federal crash data shows that between 2008 and 2012, Florida had 49 drownings. The runner up? Texas, with 18 drownings. The tremendous gap between these two leading states demonstrates the severity of the issue in Florida. Wherever you live (especially if you live in or have visited Florida), pay attention the next time you get into your car. Look at bodies of water that you come across and see if they have a protective barrier to prevent deadly accidents. Guardrails would save lives and decrease the number of drownings in submerged vehicles. Getting them installed will be an uphill battle, but I am willing to do whatever it takes, and this is why I'm working with Florida lawmakers and influential people to pass Chloe's Law, to mandate protective barriers on all bodies of water located near highways. I am confident that Chloe's Law will save many lives, though it would be successful if we could save even one. Please sign this petition in support of Chloe's Law. Share with your friends and family. Florida can set the standard for other states in need of similar prevention. Anyone who would be of substantial help to our cause is encouraged to contact me at : ChloeArenasLaw@gmail.com We are so very thankful for the donations to the "Go Fund Me" account to help cover the cost of Chloe's services. We are keeping this account open until her foundation is created, to help cover the cost of traveling and funding the push for legislation. Any donation is much appreciated. http://www.gofundme.com/y3m7fba2

STOP the Deportation of Yamileth Hoffman -- a young mother & wife.
Yamileth, a lawful permanent resident and mother of a beautiful five (5) year old boy, faces removal from the United States for an innocent mistake. Yamileth entered the United States from Colombia in 2005 as the wife of a U.S. citizen. Together, Yamileth and her husband have raised their U.S. citizen son and built their business. Yamileth, a woman who came to this country speaking very little English and with limited understanding of our laws, was completely dependent on the support and guidance of her husband. Once Yamileth became a lawful permanent resident, she received a voter registration card in the mail, issued by her husband's political party. Despite his little knowledge of voting requirements and election laws of the United States, Yamileth's husband, a United States citizen, born and raised in Michigan, encouraged her to register – in fact, he often stated that it was her duty and obligation to do so. Neither Yamileth nor her husband knew of the immigration consequences Yamileth would soon face. In 2009, Yamileth filed her application for U.S. citizenship. It is and always has been her dream to be a U.S. citizen. Throughout her whole time in the United States, she has never committed a crime or been arrested. She has dutifully filed her taxes jointly with her husband and has cared for their son, taking him to school and teaching him right from wrong. She has also continued her education and enrolled in school at Palm Beach State College. But unfortunately, despite her good moral character, her application for citizenship was denied and she was placed in removal proceedings solely because she "claimed to be a U.S. citizen" when she mistakenly registered to vote. Yamileth, like many other non-citizens during this past presidential election, received a voter registration application through the mail and believed she was eligible to vote. Why else would she receive a voter registration application in the mail – addressed to her? Yamileth believed that if this voter registration application was sent to her after she became a legal permanent resident, then it was because she was allowed to register with her newfound legal status. Her belief was further confirmed when she received a voting registration card. At no point during the voting registration process did Yamileth or her husband receive any instruction that she had to be a citizen of the United States to vote. She was never questioned by any poll worker about her legal status or her eligibility. She never received anything in the mail explaining what the eligibility requirements were or whether she was in violation of any of these. In fact, the first time she ever learned that she was not allowed to vote was when her application for citizenship was denied due to the issue of her registering to vote. Yamileth currently faces imminent removal. She faces returning to a country she has not called home in many years; a country she has no family ties to. Rather than exercising their discretion and simply denying her application for citizenship, USCIS and/or USDHS/ICE has taken the additional step and decided that it is worth the time, work, and resources to place this young wife and mother in removal proceedings for an innocent mistake – a lack of judgment. After you have signed, please take a Moment to Call DHS Office of Chief Counsel in Miami, FL, Chief Counsel, Howard Marbury, (305) 400-6160; Director of ICE: John Morton, (202) 732-3000; Internal Affairs, Nicole Nava, (786) 387-8230.

Safe Air in the Air, Quest for Airlines to Ban NUTS.
In August 2017 I almost lost my life. I have severe food allergies, many of which can lead to a life threatening anaphylactic reaction. On the flight home from our family vacation the airlines served roasted mixed nuts without any announcement. The stewardess stated she was not serving "peanuts" when I told her I was allergic to all nuts. Despite calling the airlines in advance to make them aware of my severe nut allergy. The representative had reassured us that our flights would not be serving any nuts as they no longer do this. She was sadly mistaken. My lips became pallor, my voice started to become raspy and I began to have a difficult time breathing. I took what Benadryl I had and two Epi-pens. The airlines has no protocol for anaphylactic reactions. My husband had to ask if they had oxygen. Another stewardess applied ice to the back of my neck while wearing latex gloves. I'm allergic to latex potentially making my reaction even worse. My husband was asked to make the decision to divert the plane. He did fearing a secondary reaction. I shook violently from the Epinephrine and unable to talk I could not correct the medics when they said I consumed peanuts. Not once did I touch or eat the nuts. In route to the hospital my Glasgow coma scale went down to a 3, the lowest score and completely unresponsive. My husband covered our kids eyes as they wheeled my lifeless body into the hospital as they continued to ventilate my lungs. I was admitted for observation with elevated vitals. My family was stranded with nothing or anywhere to stay. All the shaking aggravated my previous medical condition, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. To no avail physical and occupational therapy and botox injections did not help this time. On December 21st at Johns Hopkins I had a first rib resection, scalene and pectoral minor release. I struggle to this day to hold my son or daily normal activiies. My daughter and I struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and are going to therapy. So many people do not understand the severity of food allergies because they themselves do not know someone that is affected by a life-threatening allergy. The lack of knowledge can fester anger over a mere snack however I believe their feelings would be different if it were their loved one. It's something no one chooses to have or want. There is a huge misconception that a nut allergy is only to peanuts when it can be all nuts. Some reactions can be so deadly that they do not have to be consumed. I'm lucky to be alive today and I believe it's because its to have Safe Air in the Air, Quest for Airlines to ban NUTS. Protocols need to be in place and change needs to happen on what can be served on airplanes. Can we all be safe while flying in the air. Can airlines not serve other snacks besides nuts. Why does it have to be the snack of choice? We protect our children in schools can we not do the same for those who are flying 30,000 feet in the air. Please sign and share my petition and help make the vital changes to the airline industry and help educate those who do not know how detrimental it can be by sharing my story https://www.facebook.com/1411750451/posts/10217183835973944/ Please help me save another life.

Review: Golden Globe-winning '1917' is one of the best war movies in years
By Michael Smith / Tulsa World
The best war films show the enormity of the fight, as well as a more personal story that magnifies the stakes for an individual soldier, drawing us into a battle's meaning or dangers or, as the case may be, futility.
"1917" accomplishes these feats, making it one of the finest war movies in years, and among the most outstanding that will ever be made about the increasingly distant World War I of a century ago.
Receive emails for Trending news.
It's also the surprise winner last weekend of the Golden Globe Awards for best drama and best director.
"The Great War," or the "European War" (as it was known by many for the soil on which it was fought), certainly had its moments of meaningfulness, as well as futility, as shown by filmmaker Sam Mendes.
He gives us great perspective, noting it as a war featuring technological advancements, like a machine gun, that would allow a man to kill another a half-mile away but not the technology to communicate with comrades fewer than 100 feet away.
Photos: The best of the 77th Golden Globes
The Academy Award-winning writer-director of dramas ("American Beauty"), action-thrillers ("Skyfall") and a previous war film ("Jarhead") returns to that genre with a tribute to his grandfather, a hero of WWI.
Mendes does so in a manner that will always set "1917" apart from all war movies that have come before: It is filmed in a way that makes it look like all we see for two hours is one continuous camera shot.
The set-up is simple: A pair of young British soldiers are given orders to set out across several miles of French countryside to stop a battle that will likely result in the massacre of 1,600 men from taking place.
It's a man-on-a-mission story, which we've seen many times before, but told in a way we've never seen before.
Through his young actors — George MacKay ("Captain Fantastic") and Dean-Charles Chapman ("Game of Thrones") — Mendes sends these two lance corporals into danger as if imagining: This is what it must have looked like for my grandfather.
Cinematographer Roger Deakins' cameras take us into the trenches with them, to the front line and into German enemy territory and across a once-idyllic landscape that has become a muddy bog of a wasteland with danger around every corner.
The experience is unmistakably that of an audience feeling as though it is joining a first-person shooter video game, always fighting to advance to the next level, surviving while being shot at, while buildings fall and tunnels collapse.
Not to mention dodging bodies (and assorted blown-off body parts) and battling Mother Nature, remarkable hunger and rats the size of cats.
The imagery is frequently disturbing but not excessive despite the authenticity of the war wounds. Sometimes it's just shocking to see the chaos of grenades and trip-wires.
It all hammers home the futility and brutality of a war that cost upwards of 20 million lives between soldiers and civilians.
"1917" is a movie that finds occasional beauty, too, from Thomas Newman's brilliant score to the discovery of a baby that is a moment of innocence amid the madness.
The only drawback is the lack of character development, as we don't get to know these brave men better, which is a shame.
Of course, these men don't have a lot of time to talk.
There are star cameos sprinkled in, from Colin Firth's general issuing the initial order to Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, Andrew Scott and Richard Madden in an assortment of roles.
But the relative anonymity of the two leads is perfect for a film about the grunt's view of war, and the power of one person to make a difference, and a technical achievement that puts us right there in the French mud on the front line.

Left atrial isolation. New technique for the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias
J. M. Williams, R. M. Ungerleider, G. K. Lofland, James Lewis Cox
Surgery, Cardiac Surgery Division
Surgical management of refractory ectopic supraventricular tachycardia arising in the left atrium requires cryoablation of the bundle of His and insertion of a permanent ventricular pacemaker. This study was designed to develop a technique to isolate the left atrium electrically from the remainder of the heart, so that an artificial pacemaking system would be unnecessary. Ten adult dogs were subjected to cardiopulmonary bypass and a standard left atriotomy was extended anteriorly across the mitral valve anulus between the right and left fibrous trigones. Posteriorly, the atriotomy was extended across the mitral valve annulus just to the left of the posterior crux and interatrial septum. The muscular interatrial fibers accompanying the coronary sinus were cryoblated at -60°C for 2 minutes. Postoperatively, all animals remained in normal sinus rhythm. Rapid left atrial pacing did not affect the rate or rhythm of the remainder of the heart. Preliminary hemodynamic measurements suggest that loss of the synchronous left atrial 'kick' does not significantly affect left ventricular preload, afterload, or cardiac output. This technique offers an alternative to the current surgical approach for management of refractory ectopic supraventricular tachycardia arising in the left atrium.

I am supposed to complete the Turning Off the FIP series for the remaining Tachometer and the Integrated Fuel Gauges in this two weeks. Instead, here's my first attempt utilizing the full resolution (320 x 240) of the FIP for the Turn Coordinator, plus OAT and Local & Zulu Time Clock with Time Zone Offset.
Both features had been missing from my previous gauge development and they've been frequently requested by friends of FSX Times.
Thanks to Michael Johnson who pointed out some problems and errors when applying the Turning Off the FIP options in Post 218, 219 and 220.
The OFF screen mask images previously uploaded to WordPress wouldn't correctly revert to its original BMP format by simple renaming method. The images obviously were modified during the upload process. So, I have created a direct download link.
Just save the images to the respective folders as described in the post will do.
Just found this free magazine Simulator World on simMarket. Regular contents cover from flight to train, bus and truck simulations.
The just released November issue talks about the new Train Simulator 2014, plus reviews on some Danish Airports and VFR Airfields for FSX and the D17 Staggerwing for X-Plane.
The magazine is available in English and Deutsch and has published 11 issues already.
Wouldn't say that it's exceptional but still it could be some readings to kill your time over the weekend.
(Updated on: 24 October 2013) This is part three of the Turning Off the FIP series. This time is the AirSpeed Indicator.
(Updated on: 24 October 2013) This is part two of the Turning Off the FIP series. This time is the Altimeter.
The organizers of the FS Developer Conference (FSDevConf) just announced that the weekend of 15th November 2013 has been confirmed to run the event.
FSDevConf is the first ever conference for flight simulator developers, to be hosted online for anyone in the world to participate in.
The event is based on the concept of a similar successful conference from the game development industry led by the AltDevBlogADay organizers, in the hopes of specifically targeted towards developing for flight simulator platforms such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3D and X-Plane.
The event will feature talks from basic to advanced covering topics such as airport design, modeling, texturing, audio, networking, publishing and more.
The entire conference can be watched live in streaming HD720p on both Google+ and YouTube and viewers will be able to interact with the speakers in Q&A sessions after each talk.
"A full schedule of sessions will be released in the beginning of November with the main focus on Saturday between mid-morning US and late-evening Europe, but depending on speaker availability other times during the weekend may be planned as well," say the organizers.
Although every session (including Q&A) will be archived and available for viewing after the event, the organizers encourage both active developers and those interested in developing to attend the live sessions.
Yes, it's possible by unplugging it from the USB socket.
I know it is not what the question really asks for. But truly, when the FIP is connected with electricity powered, there isn't "A Switch" that one can turn off the FIP, unfortunately.
The seven Saitek Flight Instrument Panels (FIPs) I currently have are far less than enough to individually cover each flight instrument on the C172, not to mention the more complicated aircrafts. I could purchase a couple more — the easiest solution. But I am quite happy with my current setup, and the success of the recently made Integrated Fuel Gauges also strengthens the possibility for me to integrate all (ideally) C172 instruments onto my current seven FIPs.
The following is the layout I drafted which includes proximity consideration of the instruments in the cockpit. No doubt, compromise is inevitable.


This weeks Garagiste Show features Jimmy Zenolli and Sherman Smoot of Bella Luna Winery. Sherman is about to embark on an historic flight as one of the pilots of an original C47 aircraft owned by The Estrella Warbirds Museum in Paso Robles. The plane will fly to Normandy France to take part in the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Jimmy is now taking part in making Bella Luna's wines and Stew and he discuss his journey from local lad to now returning Napa winemaker. A great wine show with some of America's aeronautical history as it backdrop.


CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals made the correct move on Monday to release veteran linebacker Vontaze Burfict.
Five years might be an exaggeration, but the Bengals certainly would've been in a better position if they had prepared for the future and drafted Burfict's replacement instead of handing him a contract extension in 2017.
Now the team is left with a large hole to fill at a position that struggled in 2018. The Bengals sat out the wave of massive linebacker contracts to start free agency, suggesting that Burfict's exit could pave the way for the Bengals to select a linebacker with their first pick for the first time since taking Keith Rivers No. 9 overall in the 2008 draft.
Perhaps nostalgia played a part in keeping Burfict around. When he was at his best, he was a brilliant linebacker, capable of quickly diagnosing an offense and barreling over players with his 250-pound frame. He helped the Bengals reach the playoffs each season from 2012 to 2015. At his worst, he was unreliable and unavailable, and from 2014 to 2018, he missed 37 games.
That Cincinnati held on to Burfict wasn't surprising. Although he quickly developed a reputation for dirty play and said he wouldn't change his style, it's clear the Bengals felt they could rein him in.
In some ways it did seem like he was trying. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said he yelled at Burfict for missing a tackle during a preseason game in 2017, to which Burfict replied he was just trying not to make a hit that could get him penalized. Burfict was indeed suspended for a hit against the Chiefs the following week.
In other ways Burfict seemed to grow even more defensive, as he repeatedly found himself in trouble with the league. In fact, his last three seasons were more defined by those issues than anything else. The NFL handed Burfict suspensions to open the 2016 and 2017 seasons for violations of player safety and another one in 2018 for breaking its PED policy.
He was fined $75,000 for stepping on Patriots running LaGarrette Blount in 2016. He was fined more than $100,000 in one game for his play against the Steelers in 2018.
It was clear his act was growing tired by last season. He was making one of the top salaries on the team and his play wasn't living up to his contract.
Even Lewis seemed to grow weary of answering questions every time Burfict entered the NFL's crosshairs. The Bengals could have lived with all of it if they were winning and Burfict was playing well. But the Burfict of 2015 seemed to have disappeared.
A 45-10 blowout loss against the Chiefs in late October illustrated that when he missed tackles, stopped to get in Travis Kelce's face while a play was still going on behind him, tried to draw a foul by flopping and eventually left in the third quarter with an injury.
Lewis appeared to choose his words carefully when asked about Burfict's play a few days later.
"He hasn't played as well as he has in the past," he finally said. When pressed to follow up, Lewis shut the discussion down.
"I don't want to talk about Vontaze. It's not relevant," he said.
A source said Burfict expressed to Lewis later that day that he was unhappy with his comments. But as one former Bengals staff member pointed out, the tape on the Chiefs game said it all.
"He's not relevant," the source said at the time, noting that Burfict not only had played one of the worst games of his career, but he appeared to be "loafing" as well.
It wasn't the only time that season someone would accuse Burfict of not giving 100 percent at times. An opposing player said Burfict's film against the Steelers shocked him. The players couldn't believe what they were seeing during one particular play, rewinding it several times and laughing.
Burfict's teammate Dre Kirkpatrick fell trying to make a tackle, forcing a running Burfict to adjust as he stepped over him. Burfict immediately pulled up and looked at Kirkpatrick while James Conner ran down the sideline for a 25-yard gain.
Perhaps Burfict was worn down from years of being scrutinized by the league, or perhaps his play suffered along with everyone else's due to the revolving door at defensive coordinator, from Paul Guenther in 2017 to Teryl Austin and eventually Lewis in 2018. Maybe years of injuries, including microfracture surgery in 2014, simply caused him to lose a step.
Whatever the reason, those incidents, combined with hip issues and a scary amount of concussions in a short period of time, likely contributed to his exit.
It didn't help that his biggest supporters in Guenther and Lewis were no longer around. While Burfict sometimes made Lewis want to pull his hair out, Lewis also saw Burfict as a "big kid" and supported him as if he were his own son.
The signs have pointed toward the eventual end of Burfict's tenure in Cincinnati for months. It's hard to believe in some ways, considering just three years ago Burfict was approximately 90 seconds away from being the hero of the Bengals' first playoff win since the 1990 season.
While Burfict's detractors will always remember his unnecessary roughness penalty and last-second meltdown to lose the 2015 AFC wild-card game against the Steelers, his supporters will remember something else.
In an alternate universe, perhaps Burfict is known as a legend for his game-sealing interception with 1:36 to play that day. To his supporters, that title should have been his.
Before the Adam Jones altercation with Steelers coach Joey Porter, before the Jeremy Hill fumble, they'll remember Burfict with the ball in his hands, running all the way into the bowels of Paul Brown stadium with a number of grinning teammates running behind him.
For a few years, Burfict was the heart and soul of the Bengals' defense. But as it turns out, that interception would be the peak of his career.
Burfict just couldn't change enough in a league that was rapidly changing around him. And when his play stopped living up to his once-fearsome reputation, it was clear the team no longer felt he was worth the baggage.


I was just pushing myself to make a list as my brain was kind of boiling. I am leaving for San Francisco in 2 days and in between I have to move out the stuff of my previous flat (I am not there anymore but ALL my stuff are, still) go to the hospital, buy gifts for people I am meeting in SF, print my tickets, go to the Spanish film Festival and make those grapefruits soufflés.
Take off one side of the grapefruits but not half/half, take off the 2 third of it. Empty it with a spoon (you can do it on the top of a salad bowl for example not to loose the juice). Put the flesh and the juice on a sieve and press with a table spoon in order to collect all the juice of your fruits.
In this juice, spin out the flour and set aside.
Separate the eggs white to the yolks, keep the 3 yolks but ony 2 whites.
In a pan, put the egg yolks , the sugar and the grapefruit juice and whisk it non stop on a medium heat till it thickens.
30 min before serving preheat the oven at 210° / Gas 6, whisk the egg whites ferm with the salt and incorporate them to the cream, fill in the empty grapefruits shells, cook for 25 min and serve straight, hot and yummy with a Montbazillac.


Hysterectomy to treat Fibroids? Why?
Day after day I have patients that come to my office with symptomatic fibroids who were wise enough to go for a second opinion after being told that the only option to treat their fibroids was a hysterectomy. It can be very upsetting to hear that the only option is to lose a part of the body that, even if pregnancy is no longer an option, may often have significant emotional value in helping define a woman's self-image. With all of the different options available, a hysterectomy may actually be the best, and it certainly should be included in the options, but it should not be the only option. There are a few reasons that this occurs so often in gynecology offices.
The first is that the gynecologists often truly believe that this is the best option for their patients. While there are many new alternative treatments, a hysterectomy is the only true definitive treatment which guarantees that the woman will not have any future symptoms from her fibroids or uterus.
Some gynecologists believe that it can be confusing to patients to offer them too many options that can be difficult to understand. While it is definitely part of our jobs to simplify the options in a way that our patients can understand, it is too simplistic to exclude options simply because the gynecologist doesn't believe them to be good options. Because the treatment of fibroids is not usually an emergency and simply being done to lessen symptoms, the decision to try alternative treatments that may not have as high a success rate as a hysterectomy but may be more emotionally and physically appealing, should be the patient's decision, not the physicians. It is overly paternalistic to think otherwise.
A component of the limited counseling may be related to surgeon comfort. There are a variety of new options for treating fibroids but surgically we can either take the fibroids out (a myomectomy) or remove the uterus (a hysterectomy). While it may seem a little counter-intuitive, taking the uterus out is actually a simpler and safer procedure than just taking out the fibroids. A hysterectomy allows the surgeon to permanently cut off the blood supply to the uterus at the beginning of the procedure, so significant blood loss is rare. This is not true for a myomectomy where the uterus needs to live on after the procedure and therefore means that the risk of blood loss is higher in a myomectomy. The incision in a myomectomy often needs to be larger than it would be in a hysterectomy, so post-operative pain may be greater. Post-operative complications such as bleeding and adhesions leading to pain are also more common in myomectomies. Hysterectomies are also shorter, easier surgeries than myomectomies. All of this means that performing a myomectomy means more work and anxiety in managing post-operative issues hence the push towards a hysterectomy.
Gynecology is a mix of medical practices that are related only in that they are practiced on women and on their reproductive organs. Within gynecology, there are doctors that only practice obstetrics and never operate unless they are performing a cesarean section. There are reproductive endocrinologists that spend their lives getting women pregnant and do not do any major procures or take care of pregnant patients past the first trimester. There are cancer specialists that only take care of women with gynecologic cancers. Most women, however have a general gynecologist that they go to for their annual exam. While these are often fantastic doctors with whom patients often have a strong bond, the average general gynecologist does less than one major operative procedure per month. This is compared to physicians who have chosen to specialize in non-cancerous gynecologic surgery, such as a urogynecologist or minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, and typically perform between 200-500 major procedures every year. Like with everything in life, it you do not do something very often you lose your skills at doing it, it is not like riding a bike. Most gynecologists are aware that there is a procedure that they do well and those that they find more challenging. A general gynecologist may only perform 2 or 3 myomectomies a year, and knowing that they are more challenging and require more work, many generalists simply shy away from these procedures.
Everyone has limitations and the greatest general gynecologist should not be expected to be responsible to know that there are options other than jumping to a hysterectomy, and they need to either provide these options to their patients or refer them to someone who can provide these options. Sadly, this does not always happen, and patients need to take their health care into their own hands. The internet now makes it much easier to find a gynecologist in your area that specializes in your problem. It is always right to seek out a second opinion. There are always options.

Eight Awardees Announced as Part of $10 Million data.org Inclusive Growth and Recovery Challenge


In 2013, Tatyana McFadden went four-for-four in the world's most prestigious marathons. She won at Boston, London, Chicago and New York City.
The American wheelchair racer and Paralympic champion became the first competitor to win all four in a year. It was the Grand Slam of the marathon world and now McFadden, 25, is on the verge of doing it again.
After wins in London, Boston and Chicago earlier this year, a victory Sunday in New York would make it eight-for-eight for McFadden. If Tiger Woods' four straight major victories was "The Tiger Slam," will this be "The Tatyana Slam," times two? McFadden just laughs.
After winning at Chicago on Oct. 12, McFadden says she was so happy she just wanted to cry. She'd broken away from the pack early — not her usual strategy in Chicago — then worried the rest of the way she'd made a mistake. She kept looking over her shoulder, expecting to be overtaken.

Abstract: Importance Identifying infectious causes of subacute or chronic meningitis can be challenging. Enhanced, unbiased diagnostic approaches are needed. Objective To present a case series of patients with diagnostically challenging subacute or chronic meningitis using metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) supported by a statistical framework generated from mNGS of control samples from the environment and from patients who were noninfectious. Design, Setting, and Participants In this case series, mNGS data obtained from the CSF of 94 patients with noninfectious neuroinflammatory disorders and from 24 water and reagent control samples were used to develop and implement a weighted scoring metric based on z scores at the species and genus levels for both nucleotide and protein alignments to prioritize and rank the mNGS results. Total RNA was extracted for mNGS from the CSF of 7 participants with subacute or chronic meningitis who were recruited between September 2013 and March 2017 as part of a multicenter study of mNGS pathogen discovery among patients with suspected neuroinflammatory conditions. The neurologic infections identified by mNGS in these 7 participants represented a diverse array of pathogens. The patients were referred from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center (n = 2), Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (n = 2), Cleveland Clinic (n = 1), University of Washington (n = 1), and Kaiser Permanente (n = 1). A weighted z score was used to filter out environmental contaminants and facilitate efficient data triage and analysis. Main Outcomes and Measures Pathogens identified by mNGS and the ability of a statistical model to prioritize, rank, and simplify mNGS results. Results The 7 participants ranged in age from 10 to 55 years, and 3 (43%) were female. A parasitic worm (Taenia solium, in 2 participants), a virus (HIV-1), and 4 fungi (Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus oryzae, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Candida dubliniensis) were identified among the 7 participants by using mNGS. Evaluating mNGS data with a weighted z score–based scoring algorithm reduced the reported microbial taxa by a mean of 87% (range, 41%-99%) when taxa with a combined score of 0 or less were removed, effectively separating bona fide pathogen sequences from spurious environmental sequences so that, in each case, the causative pathogen was found within the top 2 scoring microbes identified using the algorithm. Conclusions and Relevance Diverse microbial pathogens were identified by mNGS in the CSF of patients with diagnostically challenging subacute or chronic meningitis, including a case of subarachnoid neurocysticercosis that defied diagnosis for 1 year, the first reported case of CNS vasculitis caused by Aspergillus oryzae, and the fourth reported case of C dubliniensis meningitis. Prioritizing metagenomic data with a scoring algorithm greatly clarified data interpretation and highlighted the problem of attributing biological significance to organisms present in control samples used for metagenomic sequencing studies.

Q: Unable to log into Windows 10 remote desktop using PuTTY/RDP I have been using PuTTY/RDP to log into a windows 10 machine.
I use PuTTY  to log into mydomain.com. Under "Connection/SSH/Tunnels" I have entered "localhost:3389" as the source port, and "myremotepc:3389" as the destination.
After I have logged in, I open up the Windows Remote Desktop Connection and enter "localhost" or "localhost:3389".  I have entered the correct username "myname" or "MYLOCALPC\myname".
I get the error message: Remote Desktop Connection "Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress".
Next I tried entering "127.0.0.2:3389" as the source port, and "myremotepc:3389" as the destination.  I opened up Windows Remote Desktop and connected to 127.0.0.2.  I now get the prompt for a user name and password, but when I enter the correct credentials I get "Your credentials did not work. The credentials that were used to connect to 127.0.0.2 did not work. Please enter new credentials"
Can anyone help me?

Q: How to remotely live debug node.js app, while running on Azure App Service on Linux I'm trying to remotely debug a node.js app while it is running on Azure App Service on Linux. VSCode's Azure Remote Debugging for Node.js is not working for me, so I'm trying remote debugging through a SSH session opened with Azure CLI's create-remote-connection command.
az webapp create-remote-connection –g [resource group] -n [app name] -p 9229

My launch.json file has
{
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Attach to remote",
            "address": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 9229,
            "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "remoteRoot": "/home/site/wwwroot",

        }

Next, I run SSH on my machine with
ssh -L 9229:127.0.0.1:9229 root@127.0.0.1

but I don't know what to do next. How do I remotely live debug this app, while it is running on Azure App Service on Linux?

A: Open a remote connection to your app using the az webapp remote-connection create command.
az webapp create-remote-connection –g [resource group] -n [app name]

The command output gives you the information you need to open an SSH session.
Verifying if app is running....
App is running. Trying to establish tunnel connection...
Opening tunnel on port: 49288
SSH is available { username: root, password: Docker! }

Initiate a local SSH tunnel, using the port from the output above.
ssh -L  9221:127.0.0.1:9229 root@127.0.0.1 -p 49288

This starts a ssh tunnel session where a connection to port 9221 on your local machine will be forwarded to port 9229 on the remote container running in App Service.
Once authenticated, run the top command to get the pid of your node app. Let's say it's 67. Run node inspect.
node inspect -p 67

Run VSCode with the configuration in launch.json
{
            "type": "node",
            "request": "attach",
            "name": "Attach to remote",
            "address": "127.0.0.1",
            "port": 9221,
            "localRoot": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "remoteRoot": "/home/site/wwwroot",

        },

News from the start of 2016!
Firstly, I would like to apologize for the lack of communication over the last couple of months. The start of 2016 has been extremely busy for both the TimVideos.us and Numato teams. This update will give you an insight into what we have been up to; shipping Opsis boards, planning for 2016, recording Linux.conf.au, getting into Google's Summer of Code for 2016, and an update on some compatibility issues we've working on.
By now, everyone who participated in the crowdfunding campaign should have received notification of shipment, if not your board. Pre-orders will go out soon - you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number once your order ships. You can see some cool pictures from the first shipment which arrived at Crowd Supply below.
With the start of a new year, the TimVideos project posted a project roadmap for 2016. It includes details on our achievements in 2015 and our major goals for 2016. As an Opsis board owner, you may find it interesting to see how we plan to use them and what we want to do in the future.
In February, the TimVideos team also use the Numato Opsis boards for the first time to record a FOSS conference! The Linux.conf.au conference was recorded completely using the HDMI2USB firmware on a mixture of supported hardware (which includes the Numato Opsis boards). Recording the conference had some unique challenges such as universities projectors deciding to take a bath! You can find the LCA videos on YouTube, or on the Linux Australia FTP mirror.
The TimVideos.us project is also happy to announce that it has been selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code for 2016 (GSoC). GSoC is a program where students are paid to contribute to selected open source projects over the northern hemisphere summer, flip bits not burgers! The application period is now open and students have until 25 March 19:00 UTC to apply to work with the TimVideos.us project. The list of proposal ideas includes contributing to the HDMI2USB and things related to the Numato Opsis.
During recording LCA, we did discover a compatibility between the Opsis board and some devices. We are currently investigating the root cause of these issues and believe it should be resolvable with a firmware update. As a temporary workaround, you can use HDMI cables which include inbuilt amplifiers (such as these with Redmere technology from Monoprice) on the inputs. A further backer update will be released within 30 days with more information.
Thanks everyone for your support in making the Opsis a reality and reaching this milestone!


River Valley Horse Ranch is OPEN all of the amazing (and very different) 4 seasons!
While we cherish our spring and summer months, there is nothing more invigorating than a cool fall ride or a Minnesota winter outing on horseback!
It's always important to dress for the weather of the day and we can't stress enough to keep your apparel and shoes suitable for being on horseback.
Simply put … you need the use of your eyes, ears, hands, arms, knee's and legs.
Find a suitable shirt, such as a long sleeve T-shirt or sweatshirt, to wear. Many riders like to wear vests when the weather gets colder. Your arms and shoulders are less restricted in a vest, and they lend themselves to layering for warmth.
For occasional riders, we suggest blue jeans or sweat pants. Please avoid pants that twist, wrinkle or bunch along the inside of your legs and at the knees.
The boots or shoes you wear on a cold weather trail ride is a major consideration. Look for a boot with up to a 1 ½ inch heel and low tread. Winter and hiking boots are much to heavy to wear horseback riding and in the case of a fall may get stuck in the stirrups. With so many different styles of shoes and boots to choose from just make sure that the pair you have chosen is suitable for fitting into and releasing from the stirrups.
While we don't provide riding helmets, feel free to bring along a helmet, if you own one and last but not least … don't forget your scarf and those gloves (mittens are a bad idea) that won't slip through the reins.
Winter hours @ River Valley Horse Ranch – Trail rides on the hour … Saturday and Sunday 10am – 5pm | Reservations Suggested.


Does anyone know where I can find a POA form for Mom's mail?
A mail forwarding service wants a POA to say if I receive mail for another person (my mom) at my house, they require a POA that allows me to accept her mail and act on her behalf.
I assume you are using a service that gets mail and forwards as needed because you will be traveling around. Is that correct?
Check your states attorney general website and see if they have Durable POAs, if not Arizona Attorney general website has them and you can print it out and type it up to reflect your state name. Be sure to check Durable as this is the most comprehensive.
This should fulfill their requirements to protect themselves from mail fraud and the such.
Do you have POA for your mom? It seems to me that is the document they are looking for. It might be easier to have her mail addressed to her in care of Haley88, would that satisfy them? Or to go paperless and deal with her business on line.
Thank you to Granniannie, Joann29, Cmagnum, & Freqflyer, for your replies. I guess I need to be more specific. I want to go away for the winter, and the mail will forwarded to me, but since I have my moms mail coming to my house, in order to forward it to my new temporary residence they are requesting the poa that allows me to accept moms mail and act on her behalf. If it was just my mail I wanted to be forwarded it wouldn't be a problem, but since I have mail coming to my house with her name on it that is why they are requiring a poa from mom signed. So the question is what website will allow you to print out a poa for mail forwarding? Thanks for your help.
Ask the mail service for their change of address form, or ask any post office for one. Then your mom can fill it out. If she has moved, there should be no issue. If you want POA, you can get the forms on-line. Print it, fill it out, then your mom needs to sign it in front of 2 witnesses, one being a notary public. My name on my aunt's checks, so I could use them to pay her bills, required the bank to see the POA form.
Is Mom competent? Can she talk to the service? POA is assigned. Usually drawn up by a lawyer with Mom signing, witnessed and notarized.
When I had Moms address changed after she passed, I did have to give the PO a copy of my short certificate. So I assume, I would have had to produce my POA if I had done it before her death.
The post office never asked me for such a thing when I showed them my Durable POA and explained that she was in a nursing home. I also contacted those who sent her mail and asked them to send it to me.
Harley88, I never heard of the Post Office asking for any type of Power of Attorney form.
When it was time to transfer my Dad's mail to my house [he was moving into senior care], I just went on-line to the USPS and filled out a transfer form. The transfer cost around $1, and it worked perfectly.

Q: Collection view tiling I am trying to have a scrolling collection view with 2 columns of images. The images in the end will be of different height, but same width to take up only half of the screen vertically, but as you can see, theer's a lot fo black space.

Here is the code.
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource {
let screenSize: CGRect = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds
@IBOutlet var collectionView: UICollectionView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    if let layout = collectionView.collectionViewLayout as? UICollectionViewFlowLayout {
        let itemWidth = CGFloat(Int(view.bounds.width / 3.0))
        let itemHeight = layout.itemSize.height
        layout.itemSize = CGSize(width: itemWidth, height: itemHeight)
        layout.invalidateLayout()
    }

}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell{
    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("imageCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UICollectionViewCell!
    return cell
}

func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    collectionView.registerClass(ImageCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "Cell")
    return 10
}

}

And for the cell itself:
import Foundation
import UIKit

class ImageCell: UICollectionViewCell{

var imageView: UIImageView!

override init(frame: CGRect) {
    super.init(frame: frame)

}

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    super.init(coder: aDecoder)

    imageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: frame.size.width, height: frame.size.height))
    imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFit
    imageView.image = UIImage(named: "defaultImage.jpg")
    contentView.addSubview(imageView)

    //fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}

A: Use this delegate function
    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
                          layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout,
          sizeForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGSize {

            CGSize screenSize=UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size

        return CGSizeMake(screenSize.width/2, yourheighteOfImage);
        }

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView,
                                      layoutcollectionViewLayout:UICollectionViewLayout,minimumInteritemSpacingForSectionAtIndex section: Int) -> CGFloat {
       return 0.0
    }


Right on time for the upcoming launch of Office Communications Server 2007 R2 next Tuesday, a couple of videos were posted to youtube. There are also two videos for the products developed in the Zürich Development Center.
Btw, it's nice to see that as of now the video about the Response Group Service has been viewed the most out of all the videos in the channel.


2 weeks ago, Labor attacked Opposition Leader Matthew Guy's fully funded plan for high speed regional rail throughout Victoria.
Today, Labor has announced a half-baked, panicked alternative with no money for construction for at least 4 years, Shadow Minister for Public Transport David Davis said.
"This is a C grade plan by a D grade government with the only sure thing being a massive tax bill for Victorian families." Shadow Minister Davis said.
Labor's proposal will be slower than the Liberal Nationals High Speed Rail plan, but more expensive and only serve 2 regional cities instead of every regional rail line.
This $21 Billion promise is on top of the $80 Billion promise to build a ring rail over the next 30-plus years.
"Premier Daniel Andrews and Labor's out of control $100 Billion spend-a-thon will cost Victorian taxpayers for decades to come." Shadow Minister Davis said.
Make no mistake, Victorians are going to be smashed with higher taxes for the next 30 years under Labor.
"Premier Daniel Andrews and Labor have already lost control of the budget with 12 new or higher taxes in the last 4 years. Before the last election, Daniel Andrews promised he wouldn't increase or introduce new taxes. He's since broken that promise 12 times." Shadow Minister Davis said.
Victorians are already doing it tough with cost of living pressures and can't afford even more new Labor taxes to pay for their reckless promises.
At this election, Victorians will have a choice of more taxes under Daniel Andrews and Labor or they can vote for a Liberal Nationals Government that will get back in control of the budget and the economy.
